I'm not Yingjie

Lin couldn't answer Aponya's question.

Fifty thousand years, during the fifty thousand years in the Paradise of the Past, the number of visitors was not rare, but Lin and Aponiya seldom met each other, which also led to Aponiya's serious lack of understanding of Lin.

"As a memory, I don't have that side effect." Lin answered truthfully.

"…But your…fate…remains…"

"What I saw is an established fact. It is what I saw that caused us to arrive at that future, so you don't need to talk about fate, nor do you need to...care about what I saw."

Lin's body flickered, and he knew that his time was up. The Herrscher of Consciousness had already begun to search for where his consciousness had gone.

Even though Aponia's mental power surpassed that of the former Herrscher of Consciousness, the origins of those shadows obviously could not be known by Aponia defeating Herrscher of Consciousness. If other shadows found Aponia's location through Herrscher of Consciousness, then the situation would be out of control.

"Aponia, go help the visitor Mei Raiden."

"Do you...believe...her?"

“I believe in the miracles they created.”

“But… I… saw her… fate…” Aponya wanted to say something else, but after seeing Lin’s body about to disappear, she shook her head, “I… understand… May you… be safe… Lin.”

……

"found it."

Mei found several tombstones with familiar names, which were the tombstones of the Fire-Chasing Thirteen Heroes. She walked forward and looked at them silently, and finally saw the tombstone with Lin's name engraved on it behind them.

But besides the name, there was another line of words on it that made her stunned.

"Do you believe that images from the future appear in the minds of people in the past, or that words spoken by your future self are heard by your past self? Do these things happen?"

Chapter 99: Silent Death

Pity?

When the girl reached the door where her Herrscher core was stored, she lowered her head and rubbed her chin in thought.

In fact, she had only been looking at the world from a human perspective and identity for a few months. Everything was new to her, and she didn't seem to have any regrets.

But she will die soon. If she were a human, she would probably think about what regrets she has at this time, right?

"..."

No, if it were Lin, he would not think about his regrets at this critical moment...

Yes, he won't.

But the girl is not Lin, she is just herself.

"I..." The girl suddenly felt something cold liquid sliding across her face, and she reached out to wipe her cheek.

Is it raining? Is it flowing down through the cracks?

But more and more rain flowed from her eyes.

"I... don't have a name yet..."

The girl turned around and looked at the closed door at the end. There, lay a human being who meant a lot to her.

"I want to eat more of Lin's food, I want to visit more countries, and I want to make friends like Kosmo."

As a Herrscher, she lived too long.

As a human being, her life was too short.

The memories of the past do not come from her, and the time of the future no longer belongs to her.

She now wants to be a miracle created by mankind and save mankind.

……

"..."

Lin was lying on the ground. He didn't know when he would be able to move again. Maybe he could have moved a long time ago, but he still lay there, letting the blood in his helmet soak his eyes.

It didn't matter, he couldn't see the color of blood and he wouldn't feel any pain.

He just suddenly felt that maybe he was tired.

For the past twenty years, although he could feel pain and fatigue, he had never considered himself "tired". However, less than half a day after he lost his sense of pain, he experienced for the first time what real tiredness was.

I just want to close my eyes, find a place and take a nap.

"I told you, get some sleep and everything will be over."

Without turning around, Lin knew who was coming.

There wasn't much anger in her tone, and she didn't seem to be angry about Lin lying to her.

Lin wanted to ask her if she had known this for a long time, but it seemed pointless to ask now.

Lin had no idea how many unknown plans Mebius and Mei had. Even if he asked, they would definitely not tell him.

"Look, even your little robot follower is here."

"Da da da……"

The footsteps of Prometheus came closer and closer. She and Mebius arrived here almost at the same time, and both expected Lin to be here.

"…This time, you are not a participant. As a bystander, you may feel better because going to Australia or destroying the aliens is beyond your ability."

Mebius patted the ground beside Lin, brushing off some small pieces of metal, and sat down next to him.

Prometheus stood quietly there, looking at Lin who looked like a dead man.

"Are you tired?" Mebius asked in a rare gentle voice.

"...As you said before, I saw the future scene of the parallel world when I was unconscious. At that time, I was aware of the existence of 'myself'." Lin spoke after a long pause, "I heard the voice from 'the future'."

He tried to force himself to change the subject.

"Vassago, the companion of the Second Herrscher, is a special Honkai beast with abilities close to the transmission of space-time information. Those of you who have fought with it should understand that the ability comes from the alternative use of the Second Herrscher's power. After all, time and space have no meaning in the Quantum Ocean." Mobius' explanation was general but straightforward. "Your operation failed, but perhaps you have 'gotten' a part of it."

"..."

"..."

Lin's mind went blank. He didn't know what to say next. It seemed that everything was meaningless.

Soon, news will come from Australia that Kevin has defeated the Seventh Herrscher, and the headquarters will find that the Starlights around the world have ceased their activities, and humanity has survived another crisis.

This was like the future written out in a script, and he didn't need to do anything for it. He just had to wait for Kevin to kill Himiko, and the girl would overload her Herrscher Core to destroy the Starry Collective Consciousness.

Yes, as long as you get some sleep, all this will happen as a matter of course and hopelessly.

No, this would have happened even if he hadn't slept, because he couldn't change anything.

"Tired?"

Mebius asked the question again.

This time, Lin nodded gently.

Mebius placed his hand over the viewport of his helmet, obscuring his vision.

"Go to sleep. If you want to hear it, I can tell you 'I'm still here'."

"……Need not."

Lin closed his eyes silently, the helmet's system shut down, and the world fell completely into silent darkness.

……

In the satellite orbit outside the earth, an invisible ship is quietly docked here.

Star Colors, their consciousness belongs to the collective, and the bodies they use for action are just consumables that can be regenerated. They coexist with Honkai, walk out of the childhood of civilization, and begin interstellar travel.

Although their method of interstellar travel is more of a trick, for a civilization like humans that is still in its earliest stages, their technological level has already reached the point where they can assimilate the entire planet.

It is not for any evil reasons, but simply to follow their logical thinking and include humans as a whole. This direction of civilization reproduction after abandoning emotions is Xingcai's ultimate goal.

Today, the starlight is being released and is assimilating humans at a large scale as the Earth is in a weak period of the Seventh Collapse.

Their main body is on this ship, calculating the situation of the entire planet into the database, constantly refining the invasion plan, and estimating how much time it will take to completely assimilate humans.

The only variable in the calculation is the Herrscher born from Honkai, but after Xingcai obtains the Herrscher core from the Fire Moth, she will begin to study how to assimilate the Herrscher as well. It is only a matter of time.

Unsupported variables...

"drop----"

The ship suddenly sounded an alarm, which was a reaction of high Honkai energy from the ground.

"Analysis in progress... The Houkai energy reaction has exceeded the historical peak, showing a state of multiple energy accumulation. It is speculated to be a 'bombardment'. Take shelter immediately."

The horrific Honkai energy reaction could not even be fully estimated by the detector, and preliminary estimates showed that there were at least six similar reactions.

Emergency alarms rang throughout the entire ship, but it was eerily quiet, and not a single star consciousness showed any fear.

No, they are actually one consciousness, and Xingcai's consciousness cannot feel fear.

Even if it was, in the next second, six thick beams of light were fired from the surface, piercing through the ship seven seconds later, evaporating Xingcai's consciousness.

Chapter 100 Giant

"Lin, do you have any dreams you want to realize in the future?"

Sakura brought the rice to the table and handed the chopsticks to the silent man. After he took it, he thought for a few seconds and shook his head and said, "Defeat Honkai."

"That's not your dream, it's the dream of humans." Sakura sat opposite him and picked up the chopsticks. "If you haven't already, you'd better think about it now."

"…It's meaningless if humans don't defeat the Honkai…"

"I know that if humanity doesn't defeat the Honkai, there will be no future."

"Then you still..."

"But preparing for the future is also the human style." Sakura smiled and put food into Lin's bowl. "You always said that you would just live your life casually. Now you are different from before. Do you have any new ideas?"

After hearing what Sakura said, Lin also thought silently. He ate half a bowl of rice unknowingly before he raised his head again: "It turns out that... I just live my life casually."

“…Pfft, uh, cough, cough, cough.”

Sakura couldn't help laughing when she heard what Lin said seriously, and almost choked on her rice. She stopped coughing after drinking three glasses of water, but she still couldn't help laughing.

"Can't you?"

"No, no, I don't mean to laugh at you." Sakura denied Lin's statement. She said without hesitation, "I think it's good."

"..."

"Because this is not something you just said to deal with me, Lin. You said it after serious consideration. It is amazing that you can still talk about your previous dreams now."

Sakura stared at Lin's expressionless face, as if she saw the him who always smiled in the past: "Humans don't have to have lofty ideals and dreams, otherwise they would not be human."

Her words were a bit confusing, but Lin knew what she wanted to say.

Most humans are a race that can only see what is in front of them and does not consider the future. The highly different thinking abilities of each individual result in humans always being in this state and unable to become more perfect creatures.

Even if two people grow up in the same environment, are of the same gender, and have the same conditions, their ideologies will be fundamentally different.

Great things should be done by great people, and small things should be done by small people. Many people think so and do so.

“…Once upon a time, someone proposed a hypothesis.”

Lin did not respond and instead talked about something else that seemed unrelated.

"If we can integrate human thinking into a single thought, and transform it from a multiplicity of different levels into a super individual with seven billion thinking abilities, would that be the ultimate evolution?"

"After this hypothesis emerged, a new hypothesis was derived after a period of development: If humans remove the emotional center and implant the same thinking ability, will it be considered that the transformation from collective to individual is completed?"

"This hypothesis is called the Giant Hypothesis. The individual after the integration of human consciousness is a perfect creature 'Giant' that overlooks the entire planet."

Lin calmly explained this crazy hypothesis. He scooped two mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it, then looked at Sakura.

"What do you think...?"

"...How is it?" Sakura tilted her head and raised an eyebrow. "The human consciousness has been integrated... Does that mean there will be no distinction between you and me?"

"The knowledge of children and scientists will be exchanged equally. Every human being will use the same thinking logic and possess the same knowledge base." Lin scooped up the chicken from the chicken soup and put it in the bowl. "Rather than saying it is a living thing, it is better to say it is this bowl of soup. Every drop of soup in it makes up the whole bowl of soup, but we will not separate every drop of soup. Instead, we will only look at the bowl of soup as a whole."

“There will be no barriers between people, and people who originally could not understand each other will be able to reach a consensus. Efficiency will be improved, and inferior products will be corrected… Because when there is only one human left in the world, he will be a genuine good person.”

Lin narrated coldly, each of his words seemed to be without emotion, and his tone did not seem to be just treating it as a hypothesis.
