At this moment, chaos reigns throughout the Douluo Continent.

The rampaging Soul Beast and humans fought each other, countless corpses piled up, blood flowed like a river, trickling and gushing forth. As one corpse fell, more humanoid figures resembling zombies would rise up.

Humans turn into zombies, corpses turn into zombies, Soul Beast form Honkai Beast, and their corpses are used in the same way.

With this shift in power, humans and the remaining Soul Beast became the weaker party, fighting and retreating in a manner far more brutal than battles between humans.

On the towering city wall, the fiery red figure sat languidly, arms wrapped around his knees, bare feet curled up, coldly observing the cruel reality below.

Honkai Impact

In the guise of a Herrscher, the Honkai forcibly activated, unfolding in another form in another world.

The strength of this world determines the strength of the Honkai. The Honkai manifests its fangs according to the strength of the era, as it did in the original world and in this world.

Taixu Pagoda Himeko sneered.

Alternatively, she could be called Himeko, the captain of the fifth squad of the Fire Moth in the previous era of the original world, Fu Hua's mentor, and also an apostle of the Honkai, the Flame Herrscher Honkai.

Himeko's current situation is like the fusion of two souls of the same essence but different people. There is an existence called Himeko, and there is also a personality called Himeko.

Two different memories exist within one body. Many times, Himeko can't tell who she really is— Taixu Pagoda Himeko? Or Himeko?

Is it alive? Or does it exist like a ghost?

This question has puzzled her for thirty years, and even now, she can't say that she has completely figured it out. But the only thing she is sure of is that her feelings for Fu Hua were all real.

It's as if only by facing Fu Hua face-to-face can one determine whether she is alive or a ghost.

Behind her, Bibi Dong, dressed in a magnificent palace gown and possessing alluring features, gazed intently, her eyes reflecting a cruel scene, her brows furrowed with sorrow.

"Himeko, what... exactly do you want?"

Himeko sneered, "What do I want? Perhaps even I don't know."

As an apostle of the Honkai, she was not in control of her own destiny. Even now, having long since shed her apostle status, Himeko still couldn't understand why she could still bring down the Honkai.

Just how powerful is the God of Honkai?! Even after crossing several dimensions, his influence remains profound.

"Why did you do such a thing?" Bibi Dong's eyes were filled with sorrow.

She wanted to rule the Douluo Continent, but not in this way.

War inevitably brings death, Bibi Dong was already mentally prepared for it. Death itself is not frightening; what is frightening is not knowing what you are fighting against, the dead coming back to life, killing more people, creating more corpses, and then the corpses rising again to continue the killing spree.

This cycle continues, so what exactly is their enemy now?

Himeko grinned, her smile wicked. "Why? Because... this is me! Spreading Honkai, burning everything."

"Honkai?"

Himeko's fingers lifted Bibi Dong's chin, and a delicate touch came from between their skin.

"You don't need to know, just stay by my side. In the end, we will both become gods."

I wonder what kind of reaction would occur if the Honkai were to happen to a god?

Himeko pondered in her heart.

That would definitely be even more interesting!

Himeko's lips parted in an uncontrollable grin, a smile that was wicked, perverse, and utterly evil.

A hint of fear flickered in Bibi Dong's eyes. "What... what's wrong with you?"

This insane Himeko was the most terrifying existence they had ever known, as if a wild beast was awakening within Himeko, roaring and devouring everything in the world.

"What? Are you scared?" Himeko said in a low voice. "No, you don't need to. You don't need fear at all."

Between her fingers and chin, there was Sisi coolness, icy coldness that chilled her to the bone. A domineering and irresistible force flowed from Himeko's fingertips into Bibi Dong's body, devouring, possessing, and swallowing up all her emotions.

Bibi Dong immediately let out a painful groan.

"Himeko, Taixu Pagoda Himeko!!!"

Her body began to convulse. What was transforming her body? What was eroding her sanity?

"Hmm? Who is that person?"

Bibi Dong was stunned, looking at Himeko with a puzzled expression.

"Well! No matter who she is, she will eventually become an Apostle of Honkai," Himeko said, uttering words that puzzled Bibi Dong.

He continued muttering to himself, his cool fingertips rubbing back and forth on Bibi Dong's chin, as if teasing her.

Bibi Dong frowned, her unbridled power surging within her, constantly encroaching on the God Power of the Rakshasa God and devouring the radiant light of the divine spark, flickering between darkness and light.

Want to imbue the divinity with its color

The more it resists, the stronger it becomes, like a rubber band constantly fluctuating with its own power.

Bibi Dong was horrified. What kind of power was this? Why was it so terrifying!

The Honkai was eroding, reason was on the verge of collapse, the light of divinity was almost pale, and in the whiteness, there was a white figure that stood out so conspicuously.

Bibi Dong focused her mind, trying to see its face clearly, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make it out.

"Give up! It will give you the greatest power."

In her hazy state, Bibi Dong heard a Charm voice in her ear, and her eyes reflected a pair of bright golden cross-shaped pupils, which were both sacred and terrifying.

Those eyes were definitely not human eyes.

In the Space-Time Turbulence

Fu Hua and the Book of Cang Xuan struggled against the sharp blades around them. Fragments of time and space constantly drifted around, occasionally slicing through Fu Hua's body.

Arms, torso, thighs

They would all be sliced through, splattering blood, and finally cut into nothingness by the surrounding fragments of spacetime.

This is a place beyond time and space, extremely dangerous, and terrifying to even mention.

Undefendable fragments of spacetime, turbulent lands where directions are indistinguishable, will ultimately lead to being lost here, forever exiled outside of time, free to reincarnate.

Fu Hua had fallen into a coma. The pure energy in her body was constantly stagnating, and fragments of spacetime were cutting her body at will. Even worse, the power of spacetime was flowing into her body, which was like adding insult to injury.

It seems Fu Hua is doomed this time!

On Fu Hua's chest, the Book of Fu Hua Book of Cang Xuan unfolds Map of Mountains and Rivers, guarding her side, but it is still far from enough. As time goes by, their situation becomes more and more difficult.

Exhaustion also crept onto Book of Cang Xuan's face. If this continued, she would fall back into a deep sleep, and who knew when she would wake up.

Fortunately, the Book of Cang Xuan can still be replenished by the energy constantly overflowing from Fu Hua's body. With this ebb and flow, it can still hold on for a while.

However, this is not a long-term solution.

"You blockhead, you absolutely mustn't get hurt! I just found out Master is still alive, you can't die too, otherwise, how am I supposed to explain it to Master!" Book of Cang Xuan muttered to himself.

Whether it was her words that had an effect or not, Fu Hua's body suddenly twitched.

Book of Cang Xuan's eyes lit up, and he said, "Master is still waiting for you! You absolutely cannot die, you must take me with you to find Master!"

Fu Hua's body twitched again, as if she had heard the words of the Book of Cang Xuan, and she struggled desperately.

"Your master is probably waiting for you somewhere. What if it's very dark and gloomy there? It must be very hard for your master to be alone there."

Fu Hua's fingers twitched, one, two, three...

Suddenly, she pulled her arm in and drew the Book of Cang Xuan Profound into her bosom. This unexpected turn of events caught the Book of Cang Xuan Profound off guard. The Map of Mountains and Rivers was struck by the surrounding fragments of spacetime and returned to her body, leaving Fu Hua's body directly exposed to the Space-Time Turbulence.

Blood splattered everywhere, then vanished into nothingness.

Book of Cang Xuan grew anxious and roared, "You blockhead, what are you doing?! You'll die if you do this!"

In the Space-Time Turbulence, every cell in the body was shattered, and even the soul would be annihilated. Even someone with Fu Hua's immortal body could not remain immortal. Book of Cang Xuan's eyes reddened as he read this.

She never considered what would happen to herself. If even Fu Hua, with her immortality, could die, how could she possibly survive with her puppet body? Once she's dead, she's dead. Even if she were to be rebuilt, she would never be the same person again.

Fu Hua's arms remained tightly wrapped around the Book of Cang Xuan as she weathered the tribulation amidst the turbulent currents.

Blood splattered, muscle flew everywhere, and bone was visible.

The clothes on their bodies could not be preserved either, and were completely destroyed the moment they faced the Space-Time Turbulence. Even the Lunar Eclipse armor attached to their bodies was inevitably shattered.

With pieces of flesh and bone

On her back, a fiery red kite pattern spreads its wings. Every time a fragment of spacetime passes by, it emits a crisp sound, and then a surge of spacetime power flows into Fu Hua's body, making the kite pattern even more lifelike.

Time and space, time and space, as if traversing countless worlds, a mysterious power manifested from the kite pattern.

A fire burns, burning steadfastly amidst the Space-Time Turbulence.

Birds are singing, weaving through countless turbulent currents, all for the sake of blooming in this moment.

The phoenix rises from the ashes, only for... a rebirth.

At that moment, a soft melody resounded, echoing throughout the universe, and countless worlds heard this high-pitched cry.

The whole world is in turmoil.

"What? What was that cry just now?"

"Such a crisp sound, it must be some Auspicious Beast descending again!"

"Her voice, like a clear bell, echoes for thousands of miles; she is yet another extraordinary talent."

In the primordial wilderness, a woman in white gazes into the distance.

Within the realm of immortals and Buddhas, the Buddha's compassion

Countless figures paused along the river of time.

In the shadows, ghostly figures roam.

On the altar, light veils fluttered.

Countless worlds and countless powerful beings have all felt this; all those powerful beings who can roam through time and space have their own deepest feelings about it.

The Douluo God Realm is in turmoil

He opened his dark golden beast eyes again in the darkness.

In the infernal hell, amidst countless mountains of blood, atop a ferocious and magnificent palace, nine guards stood in unison, and nine figures opened their eyes, as an endless sea of blood began to churn.

Youyou sigh echoed from within the hall.

The leader, in a low voice, murmured, "An era has begun anew, the cycle of reincarnation has commenced, and the ten-thousand-year period has arrived."

"Finally, I can leave this awful place. I really need to thank those people!"

"Sigh... As people get older, they always want to go to a place suitable for retirement and live out their remaining years in peace and comfort."

"Hehe!"

Some spoke freely, some chuckled, some remained silent, and some watched coldly.

Nine people, nine pairs of eyes, each shining with a different color.

"What you can't have, don't ask for; what you can't take away, will eventually come back. You... go!"

The nine people replied in unison, "Yes, Lord Otto."

PS: Question: Lord Otto, why are you here?

A: Of course, it's because I wanted to make a cameo appearance!

Okay, that's the gist of it. Dear readers, is there anything else you'd like me to answer?

Leave your questions below, and we'll answer them in the next issue.

After posting this chapter, I felt like I had become a god, du! That's exactly it!
