16. The Loud Rebellion, Su Muxi's Decision.

Satou Yunona analyzed the specific meaning behind the other person's words.

In the first two hundred years, in order to avoid losing herself and her original intentions, Fu Hua used the Udu-dust to extract all the wavering emotions and intense longings that would interfere with the direction of her path, turning them into one Heart Seal after another, so that her mental state could be preserved in its original state for a long time.

Up to this point, it was pretty much as they had guessed before. According to Su Muxi, due to an early Lostbelt phenomenon, the Udu-dust at that time recorded a self-disciplined personality that put Su Qing'an first.

Satou Yunona attempted to adopt the perspective and mindset of this self-disciplined personality.

For Fu Hua's personality at that time, her id's actions undoubtedly placed Su Qing'an's life after all the people and the world.

She couldn't tolerate, and didn't want, the other party to continue implementing the plan to amass resources in such a half-hearted manner.

Thus, this self-disciplined personality waited patiently for two hundred years for those Heart Seal filled with negative emotions to accumulate, and then seized an opportunity to betray them in a certain sense.

When the longing and unease accumulated over two hundred years flood the Sea of consciousness all at once, it is not surprising that one's original personality is completely Honkai in that instant.

She guessed that Fu Hua probably wanted to use the Udu-dust to separate it in time, but such a huge Heart Seal and emotion, even if she managed to separate it for a few seconds after realizing it, her will and thoughts would probably tend to be the opposite afterward.

The result was that the corrupted immortal, whose thinking had gone astray, chose to peel off parts of his personality into Heart Seal, which was then filled by another self that had become an unconscious personality.

This is equivalent to having the positive mental values that have been constantly maintained being filled with a huge negative number beyond the capacity all at once, and finally the root of the positive values will be completely eradicated, while another root that will continue to generate negative values will be accommodated. It is normal for things to become even more extreme.

The group of people had mixed feelings.

The current Your Excellency is not only no longer whole, but is also a composite of another alien version of himself.

She is undoubtedly the true Immortal Chi Yuan, but she is no longer the original Immortal Chi Yuan.

Although this process makes the current outcome more acceptable to them, the predicament they face remains unchanged.

Kiana said softly:

"This was not the Class President's original intention. The fact that she was willing to detach herself from everything related to this for two hundred years and turn it into Heart Seal proves that she did not want to see such an ending."

Bronya gazed at the shackles around the girl's ankles in front of the hall and sighed:

"I believe Xiao Su wouldn't want to see this outcome either."

Satou Yunona said quietly:

"I don't think it's a matter of unwillingness anymore. He probably never imagined that he would Awakened the world in such a strange state."

"Just as we couldn't have guessed this route before seeing the facts, Su Qing'an couldn't have imagined that his wife would go to such lengths for him."

Her feelings were somewhat complicated:

"Given that person's personality, he'll probably take all the blame for the other person's crimes."

"But even so, I believe he wouldn't want to only see the false world that the Class President has created for him."

"We need to truly Awakened that person, make them aware of the reality of the world, and then change it."

Satou Yunona was well aware of the extent to which Su Qing'an had accomplished after completing the entire path of dimensional ascension. She could glimpse the timeline of all things, but even in her incomplete state, Su Qing'an had already transcended that framework.

Imagine that a slight leak of the records within one person's soul could change the entire world.

When that person truly recovers and Awakened completely unharmed, devouring all the accumulated demon corpses and reaching the completeness of the path, it would not be surprising if he were to manipulate the spacetime axis of the entire world with his own dimension.

The ability the girl has now acquired is essentially the other person's normal instinct, so she naturally believes that the other person can do even more exaggerated and almost miraculous things.

She stated:

"Therefore, if we want to have a chance of winning in this world that the other side has built into a war fortress, the only feasible solution at present is to find the Heart Seal that contain parts of the Class President's personality and put them back into the consciousness of the current Your Excellency."

"In this way, having already accumulated enough resources for Su Qing'an to devour, the Class President inherited this part of the personality is unlikely to choose to enslave the world in this way."

"Even if she is in great pain and remorse, she will bear the consequences of her sins and face them squarely, rather than choosing to rewrite history by mind control over all of humanity."

"If we can achieve this, we can at least place our hopes on Su Qing'an, who knows the whole truth."

"After all, in a sense, the person who can summon us in this vivid form is not much different from the universal concept of a god."

Kiana took out a pink gem from her bosom.

--The core of the Herrscher of Consciousness.

This power is essential for the execution of this plan.

But the problem is...

Bronya commented:

"This plan is difficult to implement. Her Your Excellency was able to develop Udu-dust's powers to the point of mind control over the entire world. Even with the help of the [Dragon Court] and the Research Department, it still proves that her development of Udu-dust's powers is beyond our imagination."

"Just as Xiao Xi initially told me, Fu Hua today has cast aside all shackles and righteousness, devoting all her time and energy to exploring the path ahead."

"Whether compared to her past self, or to Kevin's experience of being trapped in the Sea of Quantum and SU's experience of playing chess with Sky People, the personal growth she has gained from those long years is on a completely different level."

"Moreover, Hua was the youngest and most promising of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers of the Moth to Fire."

"But the one we knew never cared what fate awaited her; she wore herself down to that state while upholding the promise and protecting civilization..."

Kiana silently gripped the core in her hand, and said:

"Even disregarding the power they wield, Class President like that would be a more dangerous enemy than Kevin in terms of sheer personal strength."

"But even so, we must still do what we can do."

Su Muxi was speechless. After learning the general truth, she realized that she had not completed the task that person had given her before going to sleep.

The girl had clearly signed a soul contract with him, yet she was unable to offer any help when he was being devoured by the Heavenly Heart Seal. She failed his expectations and vision, which is why things turned out so badly.

Xiao Su was originally family to her and Xiao Fu.

This heavy burden and responsibility shouldn't have been borne solely by Chi Yuan at that time, yet she had failed to accomplish anything...

Su Muxi always felt guilty about herself, so even though she was imprisoned in the [Moon Worship Palace] for seven hundred years, she never harbored any resentment.

Rather, this behavior was completely unlike what the other person would do, which only intensified her guilt and self-blame.

What exactly happened? Was it because I didn't care enough about the other person? Why is it that in just a day or two, I can't find even a trace of the person I used to be in them?

The girl had questioned herself countless times, and explored these questions day and night while tossing and turning, but she still could not find the answers.

Now that she knows the truth, she realizes that she once missed the chance to prevent this outcome.

Why wasn't it discovered sooner?

Considering the details such as Yu Duchen inexplicably losing his connection after returning from the Lostbelt, Udu-dust Xiao Fu not leaving behind any consciousness, and Jiang Rongyue being able to see a consciousness of the other party when she was suppressing her suffering at Cloud Dragon Waterfall, this possibility should have been discovered through these clues.

She couldn't help but question herself, just like that little girl from seven hundred years ago, about the reasons she hadn't realized. The torment in her heart was like thorns constantly closing in between her flesh and blood, mixed with hundreds of years of loneliness and confusion, fermenting the taste of death in the flesh and blood of this conscious life.

Su Muxi's slender figure became slightly more transparent, and the skin revealed from her gorgeous clothes showed a texture that seemed to be able to be penetrated in the sunlight, pale and fragile.

She lowered her eyelashes and said softly:

"Sister Kiana is right. No matter how difficult that Your Excellency, it's better to take action than to sit and wait to die."

"To her, your existence will be a target for elimination."

"The distant anchor point of the Sin Domain is beginning to retract, dragging the World Bubble containing all the resources along one massive chain after another. That is the true deployment that the Taixu Sect has accumulated over hundreds of years."

"The Shan Hai Series and the Immortal Martial Series that you are dealing with now are both classified as defensive weapons, and you can consider them as second-rate products."

"While powerful enough, it is ultimately just a machine that has lost its intelligence."

"Among the personnel stationed at the Sin Domain anchorage on the return journey, there are nearly three figures of Fusion Warrior. Many of them are acquaintances of yours, but without exception, they all obey the current His Your Excellency and there is no possibility of them being turned."

Bronya frowned and asked:

"Fusion Warrior?"

"When I first came to this world to search for information, the outside world's evaluation of the Immortal Martial Series Taixu Sect had reached the endless eternity in this form, and it seemed that this form of life was regarded as the highest honor."

"But compared to living like a weapon of war with a body made of Soul Steel, becoming Fusion Warrior would be a better choice, wouldn't it?"

"By gaining immortality, one can also live with even greater power than before, while retaining original intellect, allowing for greater combat effectiveness. Furthermore, with the binding force of the mind imprint, there is no need to worry about betrayal."

"From this perspective, the people in the Immortal Martial Series are all highly qualified. Even from His Your Excellency's point of view, choosing to have them undergo Fusion Gene surgery would have been a better option."

Su Muxi countered with a question:

"Sister Bronya, have you read the history books of Shenzhou?"

"In previous feudal dynasties, the changing times, the stability of ordinary people, the balance of fairness and morality, and even the balance of many things were all controlled by one person."

"If the emperor is a tyrant, he will not care about wasting people's money and resources, nor will he be surprised if virtuous and capable people are not given important positions. He will also be accustomed to large-scale construction projects that disregard logic and the pros and cons."

"As for Your Excellency, the Immortal Martial Series is an interesting toy; you can think of it as a living, breathing Epang Palace."

She parted her lips and smiled:

"As for whether it really needs to be that useful?"

"That was never important."

Bronya recalled the exquisite palace on the [Kunpeng] that had never been inhabited, and immediately found the other party's explanation very convincing. She then said softly:

"So, are we now completely overwhelmed by a pile of figurines and high-end display shelves for them, with nowhere to turn?"

Kiana retorted:

"I think we should change the subject."

"In short, no matter how strong the Fusion Warrior at those sin-domain anchor points are."

"All we need to know is that, before that happens, both Your Excellency Majesty and we ourselves will make our move before the other side returns."

After all, based on the information they currently have, having Su Qing'an consume the demon corpses accumulated over many years would inevitably revive them.

Whether it's historical alteration or the elimination of Lostbelt, both can be resolved before the other party Awakened.

The decisive battle will take place within a month, or even less.

Satou Yunona asked:

"Xiao Xi, can you guess where the Heart Seal that holds Fu Hua's part of her personality is hidden?"

"This is pretty much all we can focus on right now."

Su Muxi glanced at the crystal chandelier wall above the hall and said calmly:

"That would be an annoying poison to Her Your Excellency now. Even if she senses the related aura, she would likely feel displeasure. Therefore, given her current personality, and having lived in Mount Taixu and Chao Xian City for a long time, she wouldn't keep her Heart Seal there."

"My origin is a part of Udu-dust. She doesn't like me knowing these things, so she won't be within a thousand miles of the thirty-six main city wonders, much less in the [Moon Worship Palace]."

"But it is indeed something very important, and it is definitely another part of herself. She needs to keep track of the movements of those Heart Seal at all times."

"And each main urban area has a special Black Tower, which houses a large central hub responsible for linking all quantum data and microwave antennas within the area, as well as the other sub-towers."

"That is, a feather of a Key of Consciousness."

This is a natural thing. If you want to amplify the power of consciousness, you need at least a medium to amplify it. For Udu-dust, who resides in the [Dragon Court], he also needs a vessel that can bear the power to transmit his power to Earth.

Therefore, the best choice is a feather that is essentially an illusion, capable of multiplying into countless forms, and can also house the power of the Divine Key itself.

She continued:

"And the essence of the Heart Seal is a feather."

"If placed in locations that are essentially signal towers, then naturally, one can use technological means to detect and report without relying on one's own intellect."

Bronya followed her lead and said:

"Although countless feathers have been released globally, in terms of the degree of control exerted, the special Black Tower in the main urban area has the most stringent control over the feathers inside."

"So, you think the Heart Seal is most likely there?"

Su Muxi nodded. She looked into the man's gray eyes, her slender fingers coming together. In response, she channeled a faint ray of light into the illusory feathers, as light and silent as falling snow.

She continued:

"Well, at least there's some hope."

"This illusion of the Udu-dust still retains the function of guiding you to find those Heart Seal within a certain range."

"Therefore, there's no need to actually risk trying and failing to snatch the feathers from the Black Tower. As long as there's no reaction in the surrounding area, it means that the feathers inside haven't retained the corresponding personality."

After the girl finished speaking, she let the illusory feather drift into Satou Yunona's palm. She watched as the feather, like a snowflake, merged into her Sea of consciousness, and whispered:

"Sister Yunona, your ability is best suited for investigation."

"Moreover, because the power within is too scattered, apart from you who can use that power to deeply observe your own soul, it is very difficult for others to perceive the corresponding signal wavelength."

Satou Yunona sensed the feather floating in her Sea of consciousness, pursed her lips, and replied:

"Okay, I understand."

Before coming, she clearly harbored many desires to elevate her old friend's daughter, but upon actually meeting her, she was so captivated by her ethereal, almost otherworldly beauty that she could no longer muster any other desires.

It's like an ice cube slowly melting between glasses on a summer day, conveying a sense that it could disappear at any moment with the temperature drop, making it difficult to communicate with it in a cheerful tone.

In fact, the interactions between the group and Su Muxi were mostly businesslike, lacking the awkwardness and intimacy Awakened waking up to find an old friend's daughter.

The reason is the melancholy and aloof aura emanating from the other person.

As a purely conscious being, changes in emotions and moods can have a greater impact on the surrounding atmosphere.

For the first time before everyone's eyes, the Your Highness released the cat from her arms. Smiling, she coaxed the cat, which had been her companion for nearly a thousand years, to leap away and into the gray-haired beauty's embrace. She lightly waved her dark sleeve embroidered with gold patterns and said softly:

"Little White, and everyone else, see you next time."

Bronya lowered her gaze to the kitten that the other party hadn't been willing to give to her last time, and to the person's increasingly transparent and detached aura. Her gray pupils trembled with certain thoughts.

She took a few steps forward, wanting to say something to the girl whose mental state seemed more serious...

At the very least, she had to return the cat that had been with the other person for many years; for Su Muxi, this was one of the few things she could find solace in.

But as the Your Highness waved his sleeve as if he had lost interest, the entire scene seemed to be receding rapidly. In the next instant, everyone was forced to retreat to the area where the two Pixiu were facing each other.

The talismanic patterns, resembling a seal, were carved into the gate, as if marking the final pause.
