The civilization before the collapse, heroes and heroes are reborn with me

Kiana: "..."

It's fine if you ask others, but why don't you ask Teacher Wei Wei? Did you know that when I was undergoing Teacher Wei Wei's trial in Paradise, I was almost chased and hacked by the anti-end weapons she created all over Paradise? This was because she suspected that I was the end the moment she saw me... Why don't you ask her directly about the minefield?

Kiana felt that she had been able to deduce most of Mei's situation in Paradise. Mei felt that she was ready, so she was eager to know everything quickly. The heroes thought that she was too impatient, wanting to learn everything without knowing anything, and her character was not up to standard, so they didn't let her know. Then she wanted to know even more, and then she fell into a vicious cycle. In the end...

The result turned out to be what it is now, most likely because Alicia sent her out.

If we don't send it out soon, something bad might happen.

"So... that God's Key..."

"Mei, you don't have to keep dwelling on one problem..." Kiana held her forehead with her hand, feeling a bit of a headache. For some reason, she could actually understand Mei's helplessness when she was still in Saint Freya and Mei urged her to study but she insisted on not studying.

When did the two people's positions become completely reversed?

Especially now that Feng had completely lost contact with her, she didn't know what Feng was like, who had trapped Feng, and what she or he wanted to do to Feng, especially if that person was "her"...

So Kiana's mood is not very good now, she can be said to be upset. Meiyi's problem is not small. After thinking about it, Kiana can only say: "Since Meiyi wants to know these, why don't you go to the training ground and practice with me. If you can't even take my moves, don't bother Yingjie anymore."

At this time, Taixu Mountain.

"Damn... What tricks did Alicia use on me? Yu Duchen isn't even proficient in using them..." "Fu Hua" said with a frown. She originally wanted to go directly to the World Snake, but gave up the idea after being beaten up by Alicia on the way.

The World Serpent wasn't doing so well either. What if Alicia had accomplices there? Yes, I was talking about Grayshu.

If I go there, wouldn't I be walking into a trap?

So after a brief thought, "Fu Hua" decided to return to his "base camp" Taixu Mountain before making other plans. Now Feng can only rely on himself to save him!

Chapter 131 The So-called Bottom Line Plan

"Feng...what if...what if I fail in the perhaps not-too-distant future?"

"What failure?"

"If I lose to the will of the cocoon, lose to the collapse, and once again become the destroyer of civilization and your enemy, then...what will you do?"

"How do you feel about life as a human being?"

"..."

"Have you ever thought about what it would be like if the world collapsed?"

"If there was no collapse... would the world be better than it is now?"

"Maybe. I only know that if there was no Honkai, the children of Shaniyat and Kaslana might not have to go to the battlefield at an age when other children are still dreaming about the future. We might have less separations... But who can say for sure about that kind of thing? After all, if there was no Honkai, the Fourteen Heroes might not have had the opportunity to meet each other."

"…So, do you like this world?"

"No, I don't like it, never did... and there's no reason for me to like the world itself."

"?"

"In the previous civilization, we were busy fighting the collapse and humans themselves. I saw soldiers who lost hope and trampled on the weak at will in the end of the world. I saw soldiers who devoted their lives being denounced as traitors and no one understood them. In the current civilization, I have seen my children who have fought for their beliefs for thousands of years and are ready to die... How can you expect me to like this world?"

"Then why did you..."

"But why am I willing to fight to protect all the beauty in the world... Because even though this world is terrible in my eyes, it is also in this terrible world that I met Alicia, Lilith, and all the people I love and who love me. It is they who gave me a sense of belonging and let me know that I have a home here too."

"【Home】……"

"So... I like this home very much. Kiana, in a sense, if you are the End, then you and I should be similar people. I can find my home here and the meaning of my battle, and you can definitely find it too."

"..."

"Because [home] is here, no matter how bad the world is, I am willing to fight to protect this beauty in my heart. If the world is not beautiful, then I will use my own hands to turn this world into what we want..."

"…But the price will be heavy, right?"

"In the face of the fate of civilization... no price is too high to bear. Just like the choices made by civilizations facing extraterrestrial threats in the past."

"An extraterrestrial...threat?"

"That is not a problem that humans need to consider at this stage. Compared to the collapse, it is nothing."

"I see."

"Kiana, don't worry. I promise you that you will have enough time to find your own answer before the end. It doesn't matter if you can't find it. At most, it proves that this world is not worth it."

"...Aren't you being a little irresponsible?"

"Hmm? Maybe?"

The young man shrugged, turned his back to the girl, waved his hand and left, saying: "Kiana, I just hope you can know that the meaning of your fighting is not given to you by anyone."

……

"So...Aili, how long are you going to keep me locked up here?" Feng looked at Alishia and said with a helpless smile.

"Until you are willing to tell me all your plans." Alicia crossed her arms and said, "Feng, I said, this time, I will go with you... So, don't leave me alone again, okay?"

In fact, the Yingjies were not very clear about Feng's backup plan. After all, Feng had never explained this to them at all. It was only because of someone's two criminal records that everyone knew that this guy's backup plan was to put his own life in the barrel of a gun.

As for Alicia, although she was not very clear, it should be at least more than other heroes.

In the Changkong City incident, Mei took back her authority, but similarly, Feng also did what he had to do when the imaginary singularity opened. Alicia still didn't know what he did, she only knew that Feng said it was to allow other fallen angels to return to the original world.

But so much time has passed, and there is no sign of the other fallen angels.

This reminded Alicia of the final battle, and the fallen angels also made their own plans behind the backs of the heroes.

Therefore, Alicia had every reason to suspect that Feng's backup plan this time was prepared by the group of fallen angels according to Feng's instructions.

Some of her "little discoveries" in the Holy Scar Space further confirmed this idea. It was precisely because of these "little discoveries" that she revised her original "paradise" plan.

But now... Feng had obviously seen through what he wanted to do, which meant that these "little discoveries" of his in the stigmata space were most likely prepared by Feng for his own use.

Alicia knew very well what she meant by the "paradise" plan. This plan was not much better than Kevin's Stigma Plan or Feng's backup plan. She would use the "future" as the core and Shaniyat's Stigma as the medium to allow imaginary numbers to invade reality and build an eternal paradise without disease or disaster. But the price was...

It is the eternal stagnation of civilization.

Therefore, unless it was the very end, Alicia was not very willing to use this plan, and the original purpose of this plan was just to retain civilization so that she would have time to continue waiting for Feng's return. After Feng's return, Alicia once wanted to shelve this plan, until she heard someone say the mysterious words "At worst, I can die again", Alicia remembered this plan again.

"If I remember correctly, there was a version of the Stigmata Plan that seemed to be similar to what you are going to do now. It was to transfer human consciousness into the space of the Stigmata, so that the Stigmata would manifest in the form of reason. From then on, the Eigenworld would only have a collection of Stigmata that could infinitely absorb Honkai energy, and all human consciousness would continue in the space of the Stigmata." Feng said, "The price of doing this is the disappearance of the concept of [humanity]."

"I don't plan to do that. I've also read this version of the Stigmata Plan." Alicia said with a hollow look, "In order to stabilize this collection of stigmata, there must be a being left alone in the outside world to become an anchor to bear the power of the end. He will become the last human in civilization and the loneliest person on this planet."

So, this should also be among Kevin's alternative plans.

Feng thought so in his heart.

"The biggest drawback of this plan is that although it can allow civilization to continue, the person guarding the intrinsic world will eventually perish, and when he dies, civilization will be destroyed." Alicia whispered.

And Alicia's plan, according to her expectations, can avoid the shortcomings of this version of the Stigmata Plan. In this plan, no one will be left behind, and everyone will enter the paradise, but... the disadvantage of this plan is its [eternity].

This results in the world's time directly returning to the original starting point after a period of time, and repeating over and over again. No one will notice when the world is reset, and there is no despair or separation.

Therefore, civilization will not develop any further.

The [future] brings an eternal and beautiful paradise, but humans no longer have any possibility of the [future].

Therefore, Alicia herself felt that this plan was not as good as Kevin's plan and neither of them could say anything against the other.

However, since his plan requires the use of the [future], Kevin might not necessarily use the [past]...

It's quite ironic that he owns the [future], and the final backup plan is to make humans completely lose the possibility of the [future]. Kevin owns the [past], and the final backup plan is to make humans' [past] meaningless.

It is both the hope and the despair of civilization.

But she had no choice. If possible, she would like to embark on the journey of chasing fire with Feng again. Then, even if she failed, she could leave calmly and proudly with Feng and never separate again.

It’s just… that someone’s words really shocked Alicia too much.

She didn't want to be left alone again.

"Your plan avoids the shortcomings of the original Stigmata plan. In addition, because civilization was not completely wiped out from the earth, but entered the layer between the intrinsic world and the imaginary world, it is in a state of both existence and non-existence, which makes Cocoon unable to interfere with the earth again." Feng stated Alicia's plan very straightforwardly, "And no one will be left behind, right?"

"You are quite clear about it... Is this the plan you have considered before?" Alicia said, looking into Feng's eyes.

Feng lowered his eyes for a while, then smiled: "To be honest, I don't really like this plan, Ai Li, you know, I'm a very selfish person... Most of the time I would rather sacrifice myself..."

Alicia lowered her eyes and said nothing.

"Your plan... is indeed the basis of my plan." Feng said softly.

Alicia looked up into Kaede's eyes.

"The Cocoon of the End can create civilization and make the End reincarnate. It is nothing more than that He has planted His roots in the branches of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and exists as the fruit of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers. The authority of the End, in essence, comes directly from the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, just like me. He can only create, destroy and reincarnate a world, so I am not incapable of that either."

Alicia smiled bitterly and said, "But this doesn't come without a price, does it?"

"The freedom of mortals is the unfreedom of gods." Feng's tone was emotionless. "If it really comes to the point where it is necessary, I... will become the only god."

"..."

"But the price of becoming the only god is to give up everything as a human being... Any feelings will be superfluous. By then, I will really be the Lucifer in your legend who can do anything. But I can never let you go..."

Replacing the Cocoon of the End and becoming an absolute god would give him enough authority to directly erase Honkai from the world, truly achieving no Honkai at all in this world.

"That's too much... How can you be so selfish and so willful..."

"This is just a backup plan. I didn't say I had to do this."

"You shouldn't even have such thoughts!"

"Don't be nervous, Ellie. This plan is one of the plans proposed by Admiral. There are other similar backup plans. If all other plans fail, I will consider this one."

"...Why didn't you kill Admiral after the Eighth Herrscher incident?"

Feng did not answer. In fact, according to Admiller's plan, after he used idealism to completely take down the Cocoon of the End and completed the recompilation of reality, he actually had the authority to directly erase all memories related to Alicia and others, just like what the Cocoon of the End was doing now.

In a sense, she has become a magical girl.jpg

However, the identities of the two Origins, Alicia and Lilith, are so special that even though they are now former Rulers of the Origin, the essence of their authority comes from the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

No matter how powerful my authority is, it is not greater than that of the Imaginary Number Tree. I may not be able to completely erase their memories by then. With Alicia's current mental state almost approaching that of Lilith, if she remembers... not to mention that Lilith herself is a super bomb...

Alicia was silent for a long time before she said, "I was once the Ruler of the Origin. If you want to become a so-called complete god, I am not without the qualifications... Assuming that you will lose everything as a human being if you become a god alone, what about me? What about Lilith? Feng, you have never been alone, but you always want to finish everyone's work by yourself..."

"..."

"Forget it. You said that was your worst-case scenario. So you should have other plans, right? Since you can't run away, why don't you just sit down and talk slowly, Feng?"

Feng looked at Alicia and said, "This is your real purpose of trapping me here, right? Ali, no matter what, you have to go with me this time, right?"

"I clearly told you at the beginning that this time, no matter what the final result is, if we can't live together, then we will die together."

"..."

"So, let's do the bad things together and share the good things together. Now the initiative of things is not completely in your hands."

Actually, Alicia had something else to say to Feng. The "Paradise" plan was really just her backup plan. What she wanted to do now was to allow Feng to completely return to the real world instead of just existing as a projection.

Besides, Alicia also wanted to see what Kiana would be like without Feng's protection, because she really felt that Feng was too indulgent towards Kiana, letting her do whatever she wanted but not completely letting her do whatever she wanted...

I am the only one who is indulged by Feng, and at most Lilith can be added.

Chapter 132: Jackal: You Might as Well Let Me Do It

World Snake Training Ground.

The raven glanced at the jackal who was recording data beside him, and said speechlessly: "I say... is it that serious?"

"Why not?" The Jackal didn't even look at the Raven. "Are there many opportunities for two Herrschers to fight? They can directly confront each other in the well-equipped World Serpent Training Ground, and one of the trainees is Kiana Kaslana, who was personally taught and raised by the great Lord... Although I don't know why she hasn't changed her last name to Shaniyat until now..."

Raven nodded in approval. This was probably one of the few things she could agree on with the Jackal.

She didn't really understand why Kiana still had the last name Kaslana instead of Shaniyat. She had never seen Kiana cooperate or fight side by side with other Kaslanas. She had basically never been to Kaslana's home. She lived in the Shaniyat's castle, led the Shaniyat's team, and the person who taught her to grow up was the ancestor of the Shaniyat family.

So...why is she still Kaslana?

On the surface, her last name is Kaslana, but in fact, who among the World Snakes who knows her doesn't know that she is the second daughter of the Shanyat family? Kaslana? What is that? What does it have to do with her?

"Compared to the time in Changkong City, Raiden Mei should be considered to have improved." Raven compared Mei's performance in Changkong City in her mind. At that time, she was still on the scene, that is...

Mei has made progress, but even if she has improved from 10 points to 20 points, the gap with Kiana is still several hundred points. Is there any difference between this progress and no progress?

"Hmph, progress? Look at this, what progress has she made?" The Jackal was already a little dissatisfied with the fact that the World Serpent had a nominal Herrscher for no apparent reason. Since when did anyone get to enter the paradise? That's fine, you said she has some strength, right? But there's nothing impressive about her achievements.

This is somewhat of a xenophobia on the part of Jackal regarding herself as a World Serpent cadre. She doesn't get along with Kiana and doesn't approve of Kiana's ideals and plans, but that doesn't mean she doesn't recognize Kiana. As for an "outsider" like Mei, Jackal absolutely supports Kiana without a doubt.

There's no way. Kiana's strength is there. She cleared Paradise in the shortest time and is now undergoing the most hellish test. In terms of strength, Jackal is almost bragging about Kiana.

Because the other Lords were too powerful and out of respect, the Jackal would not compare the Lord here, so he started to use Kiana's strength to measure the combat power of others.
