The Fuxi Who Destroyed the World, the Self-Devouring Boy

This should have been the heaviest rain of the summer, with large raindrops resembling a series of interconnected silver curtains, pouring down relentlessly across the main city.

The entire world seemed to be washed clean in a few short minutes. The dampness, like a thick fog, washed away the scorching heat of the high-rise buildings, bringing them coolness. Water droplets on the asphalt road splashed up like jade plates, spreading out in countless circles and dots.

Before the celestial fire in the sky was completely extinguished, the torrential rain, which fell like an inverted lake, stopped in an instant. All the raindrops were suspended between heaven and earth, and the splashing water droplets and spreading ripples were stopped, the passage of time was halted, and they returned to stillness.

The girl walked slowly through the silent Celestial Phenomenon, her bare feet gliding across the asphalt road, her skin rippled on the water's surface without altering its original state or creating the slightest disturbance.

Her eyes were a pure silvery white, with the iris and sclera gradually blending in color, creating a clear distinction. They were not unsettling but exuded a natural indifference, with occasional shimmering glints in the depths of her eyes, achieving a state of ultimate harmony.

The domain of the Herrscher of Restraint has thus been stripped away to another unknown level.

This was not done intentionally.

Fuxi merely appeared here, and all things in heaven and earth spontaneously became part of her.

The realm of the Eleventh Herrscher's power to intervene deviated from this state of communion with all things for a moment, resulting in its domineering rejection into other dimensions.

No matter how much Honkai Energy that Herrscher Core supplied, it could not cross this insurmountable barrier.

The girl had only recently awakened, but in the span of a Planck's time, she had traveled from the lake to the Australian capital city that had given her millions of compatriots.

The difference in life level between Mei, located inside the Prometheus mainframe, and Fuxi is too great; even now, it may not be possible to detect the reality that Fuxi has awakened through instrument observation.

The [purification] domain recedes into invisibility as soon as consciousness awakens.

The near-divine figure had a detached yet bewildered expression, her attention shifting to the girl in the sky above.

In the instant that one glimpses the Herrscher of Restraint, the consciousness that is unified and integrated from countless thoughts arrives at the answer in an instant.

My compatriots... are weeping.

Their own kind are being imprisoned by what is called Honkai distortion.

Once Fuxi's internal logic was established, she ignored the countless All living beings existing in this main city, and stepped on the suspended, still water droplets, as if climbing a series of staircases of existence, to reach the sky.

Everything stands still; space freezes.

Her steps were neither fast nor slow, like a pilgrim climbing a stupa, gazing at the ancient temple standing amidst the white mist on the distant mountains, her expression focused and unhurried.

Whether it's the white-haired warrior wielding the weapon of Jie Mie, the girl dragging a crimson lotus, the silent SU in the distance with his eyes closed, the pink-haired fairy holding a bow, the masked man looking like a madman, or the cherry-haired assassin slashing through ice...

Even the Herrscher of Restraint, who wield immense power and authority, have had their actions and thoughts silenced.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The original scene was merely a natural change in the Celestial Phenomenon caused by the Ascended State. However, at that moment, even the extinguishing of the heavenly fire was held back by this great power, as if it were frozen in an eternally frozen ice, lifelike.

The distance between dimensions and levels represents things, which is thus self-evident.

Fuxi embraced the girl who had silenced the entire civilization, her eyes lowered, their color shimmering like flowing water, so sacred and compassionate yet exuding ultimate harmony.

Her lips did not move, yet her words still proclaimed to heaven and earth.

"You are free."

Then.

Within this tool shaped by the Honkai Consciousness and power, the will and soul of humanity regained their freedom and heard this irresistible yet extremely gentle will.

Fuxi ignored the process that transcended death and annihilation, directly returning to the void of the physical body, and incorporated this soul into the vast ocean of consciousness, making it a part of himself.

Scattered feelings of satisfaction churned within him, making the definition of "fellow countrymen" increasingly clear to this newly born being.

That shell, tainted with the aura of Honkai, prevented its innate instincts from recognizing it as human, yet the uncorrupted soul within was undoubtedly its own [comrade].

She indifferently forced the severed, Honkai link to remain there, her five fingers gripping the chain that appeared almost tangible under the radiance. Her eyes were lowered as she gazed at the link of will filled with the aura of Honkai, its vibrant colors shimmering, growing increasingly cold and lifeless.

Annihilate all Honkai.

This is the shared obsession of all humans who died in the Honkai.

The [Purification] domain that Fuxi, born from this, already reveals her attitude towards this matter.

The girl gently tugged at the chain as if in a tug-of-war, and the immense power of the resonance between heaven and earth naturally roared forth, causing all the suspended water droplets in the city to break down into more delicate shapes under the resonance.

She frowned slightly, as if she understood that displaying her own power outward would be too noisy.

Immediately, the heavens and earth and all things that resonated with the Ascended State returned to ordinary silence, but the deeper dimensional realms presented a fragmented state, and the sense of disorientation, as if time and space were upside down, squeezed out a violent roar.

Dark cracks stretched endlessly from the end of the chains, seemingly extending into the distance of another dimension.

This coincidence was born of extreme chance.

This is a special life form that has never been seen before in World Bubble, and is born close to a true god.

It was indeed through a power and violence originating from another dimension that this massive mechanism, spanning all the branches of the Imaginary Tree, was disrupted.

But in the end, it only elicited a few tremors before falling into dead silence.

The chain shattered and disappeared completely, along with the spreading black patterns.

His murmurs fell softly:

You shouldn't exist here; you're a life outside the selection mechanism.

If the purpose of the Honkai -based selection is to alleviate the burden on the Imaginary Tree, then its hidden goal might be to squeeze out those beings capable of truly ascending to higher dimensions throughout the long history of selection.

This being, who directly applied power to the mechanism itself through a few isolated mediums, is no longer within the control and selection scope of the Honkai Consciousness.

The so-called transcendent meaning is well interpreted at this moment.

But who can know whether the transcendence brought about by dimensional ascension is just another, even larger prison?

Fuxi withdrew his gaze.

The Honkai Consciousness has already departed from this place.

Not to mention that large-scale AIs do not possess emotions, even from a human perspective, all the Apostles combined could not defeat the opponent, and the selection mechanism prevents the final weapon from appearing, leaving them with no other choice but to leave.

She felt neither discouraged nor angry; rather, she gained a deeper understanding of her own incomplete life.

We must find more compatriots.

Since regaining consciousness, she has finally transformed her instinctive yearning into a definite goal in her heart.

Human beings are beings that originated from concepts.

All of Fuxi's origins and beginnings lie within the humanity that this civilization has produced. She must complete this concept to be able to break free from the shackles of being close to the gods, reach a more distant place, and truly touch upon the ultimate goal given by the collective consciousness of humanity.

That is, to annihilate Honkai.

--Return that massive mechanism that represents Honkai to its original state completely.

Those who initially died due to the Honkai primarily wished that their world, as far as they could see, would remain free of Honkai.

But as a collection of countless obsessions, she inevitably carries out this vision to a degree that can be described as distorted.

The meaning behind "completeness" is, upon closer examination, quite chilling.

Any body tainted by the aura of Honkai is considered part of the cleansing process, except for the soul within, which is considered a "fellowship" that can be accepted by the other party. What happens next is predictable.

Just like the rumored cruel demon who grants the wishes of those who make them in a twisted way.

At this moment, Fuxi's values are so vastly different from those of real humans that they are practically on the verge of Honkai for the people who have survived countless crises and barely survived to this day.

She picked up the Herrscher Core that was floating in mid-air and indifferently crushed it into dust that fell from the sky.

If viewed through the lens of Fuxi's concept, the Herrscher Core, as a key that constantly connects to the Imaginary Space, is essentially no different from a storage space that can dump an infinite amount of excrement, and even the beacons of power within it are repulsive.

Therefore, it is not surprising that such a core element, which civilization regards as a treasure, is destroyed.

Driven by her loathing for Honkai, the girl fixed her gaze on the nearby warriors who stood motionless like puppets. These humans, who were closer to Honkai life than Herrscher, were all within the scope of the cleanup, except for their [compatriots] who were "imprisoned" within them.

Her will spread like ripples across the heavens and earth, as if issuing a declaration to the entire main city.

Soon, you will be free.

Once the [Purification] field is activated, one can quickly complete the self-completion and fully welcome one's [compatriots].

But within the same Planck timeframe that unfolded in the [Purification] domain, the person's will, manifested as the Manas consciousness, arrived, whispering:

"Stop."

The girl, who had always been unfazed by any catastrophe, now showed a puzzled expression. The unfolding of the [Purification] domain instinctively followed that unprecedented sense of familiarity, and thus came to an abrupt halt.

One can unilaterally transmit one's will through the resonance between heaven and earth.

Even without consciously perceiving it, or by guessing based on this sense of intimacy, she could understand at this moment that it was Soul Lifeform in a higher dimension, just like herself.

Fuxi himself naturally did not have an accurate concept of these things, but he could still understand that the person who initiated the communication with him was the only member of his own kind with whom he could communicate.

Therefore, Su Qing'an's delaying tactics succeeded.

Although Fuxi, as a will woven and unified by countless thoughts, has become somewhat vague or even indifferent to the emotions of the world, he will still ponder the sudden appearance of beings at the same level.

This was not based on emotion, but on reason.

That fleeting moment is the pause the boy seeks to gain.

All things in heaven and earth, which had always been in harmony with Fuxi's Ascended State, suddenly encountered another being vying for power.

The previously still rain only paused for a moment before continuing to pour down.

Splash, splash.

The boy slightly raised his eyes, and within his dark pupils, a dazzling array of colors, like a starry sea, twisted into endless spirals, and... that signature realm that gave people an ultimate sense of harmony.

Harmony between humanity and nature, and interaction with all things.

Having sensed the other's presence through Soul Link in southern France, Su Qing'an was forced to push open the door that she had previously been able to suppress for so long, stepping into a state of Soul Lifeform ascension.

Su Qing'an sensed the power that the soul materialized and expanded, as well as the helplessness of trying to contain it in his palm.

It was just a brief pause, perhaps even shorter than that.

Fuxi then completely ignored the other party's will and activated the [Purification] domain.

If one does not enter the Ascended State in time, there will be no way to stop or hinder the rampaging [Purification] domain.

In retrospect, Su Qing'an's choice was decisive and correct.

No one can estimate the extent of her current domain; allowing it to continue unchecked will only lead to the demise of civilization.

Moreover, those nearby were all his familiar friends, lovers, acquaintances, and those respectable soldiers.

If all these people were to die, his own existence would lose its meaning.

The reason for struggling and fighting to this day will be completely lost.

As the universe and all things were fought over by two opposing wills, these people, whose state resembled a still frame in a comic book, shattered.

Whether it was Kevin, Fu Hua, Eden, Chrono-Chaos... or even the Fusion Warrior who were still alive, none of them could understand what had happened at this moment.

Fuxi's timeline is on a completely different level. The world she interacts with is like another space and world that covers reality. Life forms that have not ascended to a certain dimension simply cannot reach the same frequency as her.

Now everyone can clearly sense that the domain belonging to the Herrscher of Restraint has shattered, and the negative states of those extracted bio-energy and ineffective Honkai Energy have been completely erased. The Fusion Warrior's vigorous self-healing ability is repairing the damaged body.

The Herrscher of Restraint seems to have vanished.

This world-destroying war seemed to have been abruptly ended at its most perilous and dangerous moment, so bizarre and illogical.

Even so, no one chose to speak up and ask a question at that moment.

The rain poured down like a waterfall, a torrent of silver threads.

In the standoff between the youth and Fuxi, the alien and alien elements that do not belong to the human world press down on the roadside weeds like a silent storm. The terrifying sense of oppression is almost like a hand kneading the soul itself, tightening its grip little by little, as if it will be completely crushed at any moment.

Everyone could only fall silent for that brief moment.

"You still want to kill them, why?"

Amidst the cacophony of rain, as loud as a musical performance, his words, delivered in a cold tone, once again resonated within the other's will.

While seemingly waiting for that person's answer, the boy indifferently crushed the sun that had been placed in the glass bottle—that... [Divine Kingdom] that had been placed inside his body.

The interior of [Divine Kingdom] is an embryo of Planetary-class genes.

However, given that the throne within the Soul Hall still hasn't dissipated, it would be more appropriate to consider it as Su Qing'an's more essential shell and self.

According to the original idea, by taking this fixed framework and adding the constraints of the Soul Lifeform, the embryo would be fused with the body created from the Black Abyss White Flower, so that it could possess its power while retaining its status as a human.

But clearly, the truth is that crises never wait until people are fully prepared before they arrive.

Su Qing'an did not feel sorry about this. After experiencing numerous wars and hardships, he had long been accustomed to facing any kind of unexpected event. It was already a fortunate thing that he was able to successfully complete the shaping of this embryo before Fuxi arrived.

Fuxi gazed at the somewhat familiar figure before him, he retrieved from his boundless memories the scene of their encounter in the Frozen Lake.

The name [Fuxi] and the self-definition were discovered because of the special connection the other person made with their soul.

At that time, however, the other party was still just a regular human being.

She replied:

"In the face of annihilation and Honkai, one must at least first complete the self."

"Only by welcoming all my compatriots back can I be whole again."

Su Qing'an was not surprised by the other party's answer. He and Mei had already analyzed Fuxi's data and the possible actions he might take after awakening, as well as the underlying behavioral logic and reasons.

From the current perspective, the reasons given by the other party have not deviated from the assumptions Mei had made.

Complete oneself.

--Kill all humans, transform their souls into sustenance for yourself, and reach a more complete state.

As initially thought, Fuxi and the still-living human race were naturally at opposite ends of the spectrum.

The [Divine Kingdom] that served as its outer shell shattered silently, Planetary-class embryos throbbed and roared from within its heart.

Su Qing'an silently withdrew the other party's [purification] domain, turning back to look at the faces of those people.

Immediately, gentle and warm wavelengths swept around, soothing the warriors who had just been dancing with death.

His eyes met everyone's gaze one by one.

Some were people he was meeting for the first time, but he showed them the respect and reverence they deserved; others were friends with whom he had shared life and death, relying on each other to survive in this apocalyptic world.

There are still people who are the reason I've struggled until now, the ray of light that has kept my personality from being completely distorted, but at this moment it seems that all I can do is make them feel sad.

A faint smile curved the boy's lips; in his final moments as a human being, he revealed a smile of relief.

So now, I realize that I...

I no longer regret being born in this era.

The next second.

An indescribable behemoth tore open from the tiny human body, thus emerging from its cocoon.

Amidst the torrential, crimson rain, a monster, no longer existing in the world, roared across the heavens and earth.

What is a way to forcibly awaken Planetary-class Fusion Warrior when there isn't enough time to acquire enough Honkai Beast corpses?

There is only one answer: to dismantle the previously stable and integrated genetic framework again, and to use Vishnu's sublimated Gene Ability to consume himself.

Ultimately, it occurred in the most distorted form.

Ascension to godhood.
