Bianca's Complete Awakening

In the Golden Courtyard, among the group returning, Pardo Void hugged Liu Bai's leg, her face full of tears.

It seems that the girl was indeed quite frightened.

No one else said anything about her, after all, this girl hadn't been on the battlefield many times, and throwing her into a battlefield of this level was indeed a bit of a stretch.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

"Ah, our civilization has come to an end just like that..." Eden, among the crowd, looked slightly sad.

"Alright, alright, our Golden Lady, stop being so sentimental." Mobius shook his head and smiled.

Strangely enough, despite the imminent destruction of civilization, the atmosphere among the crowd has become quite lively.

"I've already returned to my hometown," Hua said calmly.

She had a mission: for the Fire Moth Project, she had to go to the shelter that had been prepared in her hometown first, accompanied by Danzhu and Cangxuan.

"I'll go too."

Liu Bai caught up at this moment.

He hadn't forgotten about Danzhu Cangxuan's situation; Chiyou... that thing definitely needed to be dealt with.

"You... you weren't leaving?" Hua's face showed surprise.

It's not surprising that Liu Bai's journey would also come to an end with the end of their civilization.

"What if you manage to climb out of your Stasis Pod and still see me?"

Liu Bai said with a smile.

"By the way, is anyone else among you planning to move to another place?"

"I, I'm also planning to go back to my hometown in the Far East," Sakura said at this moment. "It feels like it's been a long time since I've seen the cherry blossom trees in my hometown."

"What about the bell?"

"Let's just leave the bell here. After all, if something happens to the bell, I, as a useless older sister, won't be able to handle it." Sakura gave a wry smile. "But it's okay. Anyway, although it's said that it might hibernate for tens of thousands of years, in terms of physical sensation, it's just like taking a nap, right? In the future, we can say that we waited for the head of the family for tens of thousands of years for love. It sounds like a romance drama. It feels like a huge boost to my resume. It feels like a good deal."

You know how to find joy even in hardship.

Liu Bai's lips twitched.

At this moment, Mei chimed in, "I'm also going to Shenzhou. I have a research shelter there where I put the Imaginary Archive. I need to go there to do some final processing."

Is the Imaginary Archive finally about to take shape?

Liu Bai's lips twitched. The Imaginary Archive was indeed the earliest to be made and the latest to be completed. The data had already been entered, but it still did not have intelligence. Presumably, Mei went there this time to give the Imaginary Archive intelligence.

"Kevin and I are also going to the shelter we've planned to stay in," Sue said at this moment. The Stasis Pod they planned to stay in were different from the shelter in Golden Courtyard.

"I also want to hold a child..." Kevin with some melancholy.

"I've got something good for you." Mei held out her hand to Kevin, handing him a small core radiating Honkai Energy. "This thing can create a virtual Stigmata Space. You can use it to leave a legacy for these children."

This is a genuine, high-quality product, and it's even an experimental version. If it weren't for Kevin's current role in carrying on the family line, Mei wouldn't have given it to him at all.

This is something that can truly be passed down through the ages.

"Mobius and I both left some things inside, and you can leave yours too, there's plenty of space inside anyway."

Upon hearing this, Kevin quickly took it. Although he didn't understand it very well, that didn't stop him from knowing immediately that it was a good thing.

"Alright, those who are okay, go into the shelter to hibernate. Although there are still more than ten hours left, there are only a few of us left in the world now, so there is no need for us to stay outside."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this and turned to enter the Stasis Pod.

Vil-V, meanwhile, continued operating something unhurriedly, "Wait a minute, I'm going to send a signal into space. What if we run into some space friends?"

"What ever."

Mei nodded, then turned and left.

With Ark Project terminated, sending a signal into space as a makeshift solution doesn't seem like a bad idea.

After everyone had left, Vil-V wiped her sweat and breathed a sigh of relief, "Done!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Vil-V's eyes widened for a moment. When she saw her surroundings, she was completely dumbfounded. "What the hell? Where am I? Wasn't I repairing the Moonlight Throne?"

Conductor: "I think it's the true self that's come out and is fighting for us all the way to the finale."

The conductor remained calm, saying that being controlled by his ego was nothing to him; the experts hadn't seen this often enough.

"...This ego is really underhanded." The expert smirked. "In other words, this is the grand finale, and everyone's gone into Stasis Pod ... Fine, let's go in—but what exactly happened between then and the finale is something I'm really curious about!"

With everyone entering the Stasis Pod, Liu Bai finally returned to the current civilization and began the settlement process.

[Simulation Ended]

[Flame-Chasers epic tale of heroes is complete!]

[No scoring for this simulation; only the default reward— Herrscher of Origin (0)—is awarded.]

[Remaining host settlement: Simulation unlocked, Danzhu Cangxuan - Navigator.]

No rating?

Although it sounds surprising, upon closer inspection, it's not really that incomprehensible.

After all, the system really gave him a cheat code in this simulation. It allowed him to save seamlessly and without restrictions. Except for the inability to load saves, it was practically telling him that as long as he could pass the simulation, nothing else mattered.

So it's okay if there's no rating, anyway, Liu Bai doesn't care about a few ratings.

But the problem is... the inherent reward, the Herrscher of Origin?

What the heck? You're sending me another Elysia?

But I already have one!

Liu Bai felt that one Elysia was enough; two might be too much for his body, and there would be some kind of even more troublesome chemical reaction between them...

The skill "Herrscher of Origin" has replaced the skill "True Self: Human Form".

[Herrscher of Origin (0): Available outside of simulation. The host can materialize the body, which Herrscher of Origin body with "standard" attributes. The materialization time is unlimited. The physical state is reset at midnight every day. All ghost state skills are disabled and replaced with Herrscher of Origin skills. Only a small number of ghost characteristics are retained. This skill can be upgraded infinitely. Upgrading only improves the physical attributes and Herrscher of Origin skills.]

Hmm... So I can become the Herrscher of Origin?

Isn't this job change a bit... too fast?

I've become Herrscher? I've become Elysia?

Cough cough, okay, the Herrscher of Origin of the Previous Era was a girl, and the Herrscher of Origin of the current civilization is a male transmigrator ghost, which makes sense, right? — Makes sense my foot!

The latter has too many attributes stacked up, doesn't it?

But what exactly constitutes a standard Herrscher of Origin body? And why does it replace the skill set?

Unable to resist his curiosity, Liu Bai teleported himself to Bianka's side and silently revealed his form.

"Liu Bai?" Bianka, who was sitting on the bed in her pajamas fiddling with her tablet, looked at Liu Bai, who had suddenly appeared beside her and exposed his body. She immediately realized something, her face flushed slightly, and she asked shyly, "Is... is he... coming?"

That night, Liu Bai, now in physical form, was alone with Bianca in a room with Liu Bai... Although Bianka had long since come to terms with her love for Liu Bai, was it a bit too fast for things to progress to this point?

She... she's not mentally prepared yet.

Oh, right, Rita! Rita prepared quite a lot of things for her beforehand!

When I opened the bedside table in Bianka, all I could see were 0.01mm ultra-thin labels, with words like ice and fire, fluorescent, rainbow, and fruit flavor... Why couldn't I understand any of the words except for the 0.01mm ultra-thin label?

However, there was a lot of it, about ten or more in a box, and it was specially marked as a special product of Schicksal, exclusively for Valkyrie... Ah, so there are such things in the Valkyrie exclusive?

Bianka felt that she might not be paying close enough attention to her surroundings.

"Why is Otto still making this kind of thing?" Liu Bai peeked over after seeing Bianka's actions, and then froze.

"Huh? Did the bishop make this? The current bishop?"

"Ah, otherwise, do you think the old him would have specially set aside a production line to produce this kind of thing? He would definitely have just bought it wholesale from other places." Liu Bai sighed. "And only Schicksal would be so extravagant as to pack more than ten 0.01mm ones into one box—let me make it clear, it's not that I know, I just saw the ordinary models from the logistics department before."

"..." That makes perfect sense.

However, looking at these condoms with Liu Bai, Bianka felt her girlish heart being tortured.

Bianka suppressed her shyness and, following Rita's instructions, picked up a box of fruit-flavored drinks and stammered to Liu Bai, "Do you... do you want me to help you put it on?"

"... Bianka, do you think I can't come to you for serious business?" Liu Bai's eyes twitched, and he asked as calmly as possible.

Is the atmosphere in our home starting to poison young girls? Even an honest girl like Bianka has been turned into this.

There was also a drawer full of condoms...

"Rita put it there?"

"Hmm..." Hearing that Liu Bai had come for serious business, Bianka's blush faded considerably. Although she was still embarrassed by the misunderstanding, she was not as shy as she had been on her first night.

"I knew it was her. Only she would show you this kind of subtle concern. She's even more effective than Cecilia in this regard."

"...Undeniably." Bianka's expression was subtle as she cleared her throat. "Didn't we have important business to discuss? Let's get down to business first... Um, Liu Bai, about your health?"

Having recovered from her shyness, Bianka finally noticed the condition of Liu Bai's current physical body.

Why did I actually feel a sense of threat from this body?

Although it feels very faint, this is definitely not the form of the "perfect human" from before!

Chapter 454 Bianka's Complete Awakening

"Found it? A new body, Herrscher level."

Liu Bai clenched his fist and examined his replaced skill set.

Um... it seems a bit different from Elysia's skill set. Liu Bai remembers that Elysia's skill set is more ice-oriented.

But this one of my...

[Illusion and reality are indistinguishable, all phenomena are empty: any attack has a 50% chance to be nullified, and any conceptual skill is nullified.]

[Karma Ablation, Repaying Past Debts: Directly settles the good and evil of any target. The judgment of good and evil is based on the host's sense of good and evil. The target will receive a permanent buff and a short-term (60-second) boost or the "Karmic Fire Burning" state according to the judgment standard. The spread of karmic fire is limited to highly intelligent beings, has no environmental destructive power, and does not cause direct physical damage. The damage of karmic fire depends on the magnitude of the sins. The karmic fire will only extinguish after the sins have been completely burned away. After the sins have been burned away, the target will fully recover and receive all-round buffs, and there is a chance to "convert" (the converted target is automatically counted in the host's contract)]

[Endless Karma, Divine Punishment Cleanses the World: Absorbs all sins within a radius of up to five kilometers and marks the source of all sins. Enters Divine Punishment form, gaining a significant amplification based on karma, greatly increasing damage to the source of sins and inflicting karmic fire. Can teleport to the marked target. During this time, the skill "Karma Ablation, Repaying Past Debts" is disabled.]

The three combat skills... let's be honest, isn't this art style a bit too off? Does it feel like there's a judge or Yama living inside you?

Moreover, he uses his own sense of good and evil as the standard of judgment, which would probably make him one of the corrupt officials in the Judge of Hell... but he is indeed extremely hypocritical.

There is only one non-combat skill.

[Power & Origin: Any event will, to some extent, lean towards the development and outcome you desire, and you can proactively change reality at a great cost.]

Yes, it's simple and clear, but Liu Bai completely ignored the latter, which seemed the most beautiful.

We'd actually go to great lengths to change reality? Do you think I don't know how much it costs to change reality?

In any case, for Liu Bai, the small realities don't need to be changed, but the big ones are completely unchangeable.

If it were possible to change things, wouldn't it have been better if Liu Bai had just put in more effort with Aili in bed during the simulation of the Previous Era and then wished to wipe away the Finality?

The problem is, you can't erase this stuff! You can't erase it even if you spend all your money.

"Herrscher...?" Bianka's face showed a brief moment of surprise, but then she thought about it again. This was something that happened to Liu Bai, so it didn't seem so surprising.

"Come on, Bianka, hit me a few times." Liu Bai was preparing to test his "Illusory and Real Without Form, All Phenomena Are Empty" first. "Hit me lightly, just consider it a test."

"Okay." When it came to the test, Bianka's eyes became serious. "Liu Bai, adjust your posture. I'll contribute three-tenths of the effort."

Posture, stance?

Liu Bai thought for a while before adopting a blocking stance from the boxing style— Liu Bai was a true master of theory in combat, but a complete novice in practice.

"I'm going in," Bianka said softly, then threw a punch at Liu Bai with overwhelming force.

This is a complete contrast to his previous soft-spoken demeanor!

However, Liu Bai didn't feel anything after that punch.

Looking at Bianka, Bianka was equally bewildered. "I just... missed? Hit? Missed?"

Bianka's mind was a bit confused. Logically speaking, she should have hit him, but it felt like... she hadn't hit anything at all.

"One of my Herrscher abilities has a 50% chance of missing when it attacks me... Of course, with luck involved, the actual probability might be as high as 80%."

The core powers of the Herrscher and the intangible nature of reality and illusion are a perfect match.

Moreover, this is true probability, which means that although theoretically you should win twice out of ten times, in reality, it is reasonable to not win even once out of a hundred times—anyone who faces true probability will have this kind of brain-boosting experience.
