The Honkai Simulator is not used to kidnap Herrscher!

But he couldn't tell her the process of reaching the result, otherwise the process would be more tortuous and affect the result.

In other words, Xier may not be able to come back.

"It sounds a bit like quantum mechanics, but if I tell you the detailed process, there will be countless possibilities."

Chen Ran said so.

After all, Seele was able to return because Bronya met Walter Young and obtained the power of the Herrscher Core. But now, will Walter Young enter the Quantum Sea again?

It is a miracle that Xier can come back from the Quantum Sea.

The so-called miracle is the superposition of countless coincidences.

If any of these chance events is lost, the results will be different.

Bronya seemed to be lost in thought.

"Okay, if you don't have anything else to do, don't bother me. Also, don't think about traveling through time." Chen Ran looked at them helplessly: "Travel through time is definitely the stupidest choice in this world."

...

...

Bronya and An left.

Although he didn't know how Xing was able to appear naturally in Saint Freya, this was no longer something Chen Ran needed to worry about.

In fact, he was not idle in Saint Freya.

But what he wants to do is beyond the ordinary people.

"Xiaoyou, are there any new results?"

Relying on the method provided by Xiaoyou on the moon, Chen Ran can communicate with Xiaoyou through radio waves through any electronic product and satellite.

Even at the two ends of the Earth and the Moon, the vast distance of space cannot hinder the existence of radio waves.

The server can directly use the Stigmata terminal, but sometimes the signal will be delayed.

"It's not that easy."

Xiaoyou expressed her annoyance, but then changed the subject: "However, thanks to your enlightenment, I actually have an unexpected gain."

"An unexpected gain?"

"Do you remember the stigmata? To be more precise, it's the process of how the first stigmata was created."

At this time, Xiaoyou had already learned how to ask questions in return, and Chen Ran also answered honestly.

"I'm not sure if this is the answer you're looking for, but I remember the formation of the stigmata theory was actually based on my research on Honkai memory genes with MEI."

"Memory data and genes are blended into a database, and the complex genetic database is transformed into a genetic chain transmitted through DNA. This is the theoretical stigmata."

Chen Ran had not personally made any holy marks in the pre-civilization era.

At least that's what he remembered so far.

But even so, he and MEI conducted research on Honkai memories, which was essentially an important precursor to the Stigmata.

"Oh, I forgot that you haven't yet made the deepest progress in creating the stigmata. But it doesn't matter."

Xiao You paused and said, "To be precise, the dominant expression of the memory data gene in the human body is called the stigmata. I understand this correctly, right?"

"Ah."

"That's the discovery I'm talking about."

She paused and continued, "The stigmata terminal has projected all the stigmata, but the information recording them is still retained on the terminal. Then, I unexpectedly learned that the process of stigmata's manifestation in the human body is a complete process from information chaos to information order."

"You should understand what I mean."

"You mean, the imaginary internal energy is generated in the holy marks?" Chen Ran was a little surprised.

"To be precise, it's the stigmata that connect the human body to the dimension of imaginary numbers, just like the Herrscher. And through my in-depth observation, I've discovered that the anti-Honkai gene wasn't invented by humans, but rather discovered."

Chen Ran knows the difference between invention and discovery.

Invention is from nothing to something, discovery is already there.

"You are correct in one aspect of your theory. There is no essential difference between the stigmata and the Herrscher core, but there is a certain order that needs to be reversed."

"For the higher-dimensional Honkai, Herrschers are the life forms that should be born. Humans and the civilizations they build are the aliens. Those who bear the stigmata are Herrschers who have been transformed by humans and are normal lives influenced by them."

Chen Ran: "I think I understand what you mean. The emergence of civilization is the result of countless coincidences, just like cancer in the human body."

"For us, civilization is the foundation of our survival, but for the universe, civilization itself is actually the emergence of cancer cells and their continuous spread."

"And the so-called collapse is actually the universe's antibodies, the process of rejecting us."

"I can only say that the description is very appropriate." Xiao Youyouyou said: "Another point is that in terms of absolute numbers, the number of civilizations appearing in the universe is actually increasing."

"Although many of these civilizations were destroyed by the Honkai, their number is still increasing. To the Honkai, we are the invaders."

"And the universe is already terminally ill."

Chen Ran complained: "I finally understand what the Red Lotus is heating up."

"Hey?" Xiaoyou was a little confused: "What is this?"

"Nothing." He thought for a moment and said, "Humans are actually very extreme in their fight against viruses. First, antibodies appear, then the body temperature rises. Once it reaches this stage, it means the virus is already very powerful."

He speculated that the temperature rise of the Red Lotus that appeared when he was playing games in his previous life was actually the adjustment made by the universe in response to the "civilization virus".

Xiao You said, "The concentration of cosmic collapse energy is actually increasing. I suspect that this collapse energy will reach a threshold. Once this threshold is exceeded, even the universe will find it difficult to bear. But I'm not sure how the universe will express the heating process you mentioned."

"Let's put that question aside for now," she continued. "What I'm going to talk about next is the key point."

"Based on the previous conclusions, we can deduce that both Herrschers and Stigmata bearers can directly connect to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, but ordinary humans cannot. The connection between the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and Herrschers is the laws of physics, and Stigmata bearers should have characteristics that express this."

"In other words, each stigma also corresponds to a physical rule, either explicit or implicit. After being influenced by humans, this rule takes on a genetically invisible form, requiring destruction to be expressed."

"The most typical examples are actually Mei Raiden and Wendy."

"From the perspective of a human like you, the Herrscher is actually a holder of a stigmata that has been altered by the Honkai."

"But from my perspective as an objective observer, the bearer of the stigmata is a Herrscher alienated by humanity."

"So, the stigmata space corresponds to the imaginary space connected to the Herrscher, and the stigmata consciousness corresponds to the Herrscher consciousness. There is no essential difference between them."

"The Herrschers who appeared in the previous civilization were the antibodies that eliminated the virus within the rules. The end we need to defeat is the 'fever phenomenon' that occurs when civilization continues to grow, causing collapse to reach a certain threshold. This is likely the result of the 'red lotus heating' you mentioned reaching a certain limit."

Chen Ran: "..."

I understand. When the temperature of the red lotus reaches 999, it will eventually appear.

"I really hope that my findings are false." Xiao You didn't know Chen Ran was thinking, but continued to ask Chen Ran a question: "If a person dies from a fever, what will happen to the virus in the body?"

Chen Ran answered subconsciously: "He will die with you."

"The result is correct," Xiaoyou said. "The End is most likely the universe's 'fever defense against viruses.' If we, as viruses, defeat the End, then the universe may also fall apart. Of course, the universe will not die like humans, but will it stop its outward explosion? Or will the stars go out? No one can say for sure. But what we can predict is that this will be the universe falling off the tree of imaginary numbers into the quantum sea."

"Defeating Honkai is most likely a false proposition. Perhaps there is no way to defeat Honkai at all."

Chen Ran understood.

He pondered, "So the best approach for humanity is to find a dynamic balance between Honkai and humanity, right?"

"This is my conclusion based on my research on the stigmata and Herrscher. I also believe your disappearance after the End may be related to this."

Xiaoyou's words answered many of Chen Ran's doubts.

He thought of the Stigmata Plan in the plot.

Before crossing over, he didn't quite understand the purpose of the Stigmata Project.

Isn’t this a form of surrender, pulling people into a higher dimension, but can people still be called human beings?

But now, judging from the results of Xiaoyou's exploration, the Stigma Plan in the plot is extremely consistent.

After humanity defeats the end, the universe will collapse and humanity will die.

After humans were defeated by the End, even if new humans emerged, it would still be the destruction of an era.

It would be better to escape directly to an area that cannot be reached by Honkai, relying on the world composed of 'dreams' to avoid reality, and everyone living in a huge stigmata space.

But Kevin also said that the Stigmata Project is a loser's project, which means that everyone in the pre-civilization era has not yet found a balanced way to coexist with Honkai.

In fact, because collapse and consciousness exist in the same dimension, preventing the space where consciousness exists from being polluted by collapse is actually just wishful thinking of humans.

Just like in Honkai Academy, the stigma terminal will also be eroded by Honkai.

Perhaps it was because of this awareness that Su stopped Kevin from carrying out the Stigmata Plan 1,500 years ago.

“Civilization is a miracle formed by countless accidents and coincidences, but it is also a cancer of the universe.”

Xiao You paused and said, "Perhaps our answer can only be found in a higher dimension."

Chen Ran was a little dazed.

"The Dead Sea Scrolls?"

-

Fifty thousand years ago, the fire-chasing moth.

In the separate laboratory where MEI is located, a piece of information was transmitted into Prometheus.

"Doctor, all the experiments related to X-10 have been obtained."

Prometheus' words made MEI nod.

"I see. What do you think about this?"

"This is a terribly failed experimental design. Prometheus doesn't think it's necessary to proceed with this experiment."

This AI can only answer directly, without any hesitation.

"Yes, this is a failed experiment. It's a poorly designed, crudely thought out experiment. It's simply treating people like consumables."

Mei's thoughts were lost in thought for a moment.

Some time before today, Alicia found her.

The first thing she said was to ask Chen Ran to leave the Fire Moth.

MEI didn't know where Alicia's emotions came from. In her impression, Alicia and Chen Ran should have no connection at all.

That should be the case.

But she became confused until Alicia handed her a set of experimental materials.

"The X-10 experiment conducted by the Fire Moth will answer many of your questions."

With her incomplete understanding of Alicia, MEI knew that although she liked to joke, she would not play tricks on others maliciously.

However, with his own understanding of Honkai, the X-10 experiment is more like a child's play, an absurd farce.

The simplicity and crudeness of the experimental design disgusted even her.

If an experiment involves exposing people to a nuclear concentration environment to stimulate the production of antibodies that inhibit radiation, then this experiment is undoubtedly a madman's experiment.

The X-10 experiment simply replaced nuclear radiation with Honkai energy.

MEI has no bottom line, but that doesn't mean she is crazy.

On the contrary, that kind of reckless madness is nothing but a manifestation of incompetence.

If it weren't for Alicia, she would never have participated in this experiment.

She did not tell Chen Ran about this matter. Firstly, there was no evidence, and secondly, even if there was evidence, it would be of no use.

MEI could sense that Alicia had no hostility.

She thought about using her influence to stop the experiment or explain its harmful effects.

However, this way, it is impossible to understand the meaning behind Alicia's words.

What kind of situation would make Alicia have such an idea as to let Chen Ran leave the Fire Moth?

It can't be because of emotional problems.

"I understand. Pay some attention to this experiment, but don't let anyone know."

There is still something I can’t figure out, so I simply stopped thinking about it.

At this time, she didn't know that No. 666 had already reached a cooperation agreement with Sakura to investigate this experiment.

Moreover, Sakura has made considerable progress.
