Was it really not the extinction of civilization?
Which civilization could possibly survive that?
They seemed to understand, at least for a moment, how their ancestors—the so-called Luoxing civilization—had ultimately failed.
How could they not fail?
The stronger a civilization became, the stronger Honkai became.
What did that mean?
To defeat Honkai, I had to develop technology.
Once I developed technology and grew stronger, Honkai grew stronger too. Then what the hell... wasn't all my development for nothing?! Huh?!
What kind of closed logical loop was this?
It was simply flawless!
Absolutely insane.
"What exactly are the authorities of the fourteen Herrschers?" someone among the researchers shouted.
"Though it isn't absolute... the world I'm familiar with managed to do it! As for the fourteen Herrschers they faced..."
Artwork Elysia smiled mischievously.
"The First Herrscher, Herrscher of Reason. Her authorities were analysis, reconstruction, and reproduction. As long as it was a civilization-made object she had seen, whether from the past or the future, she could create it. She could even create something from thin air, then understand and analyze it afterward."
"?" Good grief, and that was only the first one!
"The Second Herrscher, Herrscher of Void. Her authority was Imaginary manipulation, as I mentioned earlier. As the name implied, it included Imaginary conversion and spatial transference."
This one was a heavyweight too!
Chen Xue and the researchers present were no illiterates. Naturally, they knew what Imaginary meant.
Even setting aside the Imaginary Tree, the source of Imaginary, which was one of the universe's two fundamental bases and therefore of utmost importance—
Simply considering the significance of Imaginary to reality was enough to understand a great deal.
Wonderful!
Another utterly impossible opponent.
In an instant,
they could even think of countless offensive methods involving Imaginary manipulation.
