Chapter 611
Then, White Night Dragon spoke calmly to the unsuspecting group.
"The so-called 'Last Embryo' can actually be seen as the Demon King."
"Or rather, the Demon King is the 'trial itself' in its entirety. The literal meaning of the Demon King as 'natural disaster' is a series of natural disasters such as thunderstorms, or disasters such as earthquakes caused by tectonic movements, or the spread of plagues for various reasons. Nowadays, many groups of gods are personifications of these disasters. It can be said that this is proof that the gods are constantly giving humanity a crisis of survival, and there are exceptions to the Celestial Law among them."
"But the 'True Demon Lord,' who serve as Last Embryo, are different. They are not ordinary trials, but rather beings that manifest as the most powerful trial in history, designed to eradicate humanity!"
"As the True Demon Lord of the 'Trial to Destroy Humanity,' the 'Last Embryo' is an existence that surpasses the Three Strongest Species of Celestial Spirits in the Little Garden, the Innate God, and the Pureblood Dragon species! It is hailed as the Strongest God Slayer!"
"Each of them possesses the formidable strength to repel a million gods!"
"Last Embryo is a trial that manifests itself to destroy humanity!"
"Humanity should face death and destruction by its own hands, and this is the common ground that Last Embryo has to offer!"
"Humanity's ultimate trial is the highest level of trial, containing possibilities that humanity itself cannot overcome, cannot traverse, or that the world itself has flaws!"
Upon hearing this, Asuka Kudou and You Kasukabe also opened their mouths slightly.
The three strongest monsters in the Hakoniwa World are so powerful that just thinking about it sends chills down your spine.
Looking at everyone, White Night Dragon opened the fan in her hand, covering her face and only revealing her golden eyes.
"By the way, I was once part of the 'Last Embryo' as well."
"!"
Izayoi looked at the White Night Dragon, shrugged, and said with a wry smile.
"White Night Dragon, you really are an exaggerated existence."
Even he had to admit that the existence of the White Night Dragon was absolutely the most outrageous thing he had ever seen.
As the Star Spirit of Sun and White Night, he also exists as the True Demon Lord who Last Embryo, and the current White Night Dragon is still in a state where his spirit level has been weakened.
Even with his spirit level infinitely weakened, White Night Dragon's strength still reached the Three-digit Omnipotent Domain, and he was still one of the best in the Omnipotent Domain.
After listening to the White Night Dragon's explanation, Luo Mio's expression also fell into deep thought.
If what White Night Dragon said is true, then it's not unreasonable for the World Consciousness of the Little Garden to regard Luo Mio's existence as Last Embryo.
'The Finality', 'The Demon Lord of Honkai', 'The Destroyer of Civilization'.
After all, in the Honkai World, 'Honkai' is a mechanism that has emerged across countless eras and worlds to filter and correct the development direction of branches and leaves.
The Honkai will increase with the prosperity of a civilization; the stronger the civilization, the stronger the Honkai will become.
Most civilizations are created by humankind itself.
This perfectly confirms the argument that 'humanity brought about its own destruction'.
The disasters it caused are countless, which is why Luo Mio's Honkai Energy has been increased to an extremely exaggerated degree.
It's important to understand that the disaster (or achievement) caused by the 'Honkai' is far more than just the size of a single planet!
Although Luo Mio herself was affected by the fourteen concepts and the power of the 'Manager,' the qualitative improvement of Honkai Energy was not too important.
But it also allowed Luo Mio's path to extend to other places.
Because the Hakoniwa World recognized the 'Honkai' in Luo Mio's memories, it granted Luo Mio the so-called power of the Spirit Rank.
Moreover, in a sense, the 'Honkai' is not only the Final Trial for humanity, but also the ultimate test for the world and a planet!
So if we really want to define it, Luo Mio is not actually the 'Last Embryo,' but rather the 'Final Trial the world (planet)'!
The ultimate trial for the life and death of all things in a world and on a planet—humans, elves, demons, orcs, and even Asura Gods and Buddhas!
"However, why did Mr. Mio suddenly bring up the Last Embryo?"
Having recovered from her painful memories, Black Rabbit looked at Luo Mio and expressed her confusion.
"..."
Luo Mio fell silent slightly in response to Black Rabbit's question.
He really didn't know whether he should tell Black Rabbit, Asuka Kudou, and You Kasukabe that he was also a 'Last Embryo'.
If I were to reveal this, what would become of my relationship with You Kasukabe, Asuka Kudou, Izayoi, who are all human beings...?
With her eyes slightly lowered, Luo Mio looked at You Kasukabe and Asuka Kudou, who were about the same age as Sora, and smiled gently at them.
"Hmm... I heard it from someone before."
"Someone?"
Luo Mio nodded.
What Luo Mio didn't notice was that the White Night Dragon's golden eyes looked at Luo Mio deeply, and then a smile appeared in his usually calm and emotionless eyes.
Perhaps the moment Luo Mio uttered the words "the Last Embryo," White Night Dragon had already guessed Luo Mio's true identity from the terrifying aura emanating from Luo Mio that was enough to shake the spiritual core of her "Geocentric Theory."
But White Night Dragon didn't say much, choosing instead to remain silent.
After all, who isn't undergoing the Last Embryo?
Chapter Nine: A Chapter of Taking Advantage of the Situation
After saying goodbye to White Night Dragon, Luo Mio and the Problem Children Trio, led by Black Rabbit and Jin, crossed the fountain plaza and walked for about fifteen minutes before finally arriving at the 'No Name' residential area.
Arriving at the gate of the 'No Name' area, traces of the flag that once hung high remain on the gate.
When Luo Mio and the others opened the door and went inside, the desolate scene before them refreshed the understanding of Asuka Kudou and You Kasukabe.
As soon as they stepped inside, a dry, stuffy breeze rushed towards them from the other side of the door.
What followed was fine dust stirred up by the wind.
Luo Mio frowned slightly upon seeing the scene before her.
"This is..."
What lay before them was a desolate, lifeless wasteland, as if no one had lived there for hundreds of years.
Seeing this, Luo Mio also fell silent.
Asuka Kudou arrived at one side of the wooden ruins and lightly touched the fence. The fence, which had been decayed by the wind for who knows how long, instantly turned into fragments that fell to the ground.
The once white road is now completely buried in sand, as if it had been hit by a sandstorm.
The wooden buildings on both sides of the road are also decaying and collapsing little by little.
Even the iron pillars and wires had been rotten, rusted, and twisted.
The trees planted along the road were lifeless, white and withered like tombstones.
Then Izayoi picked up a handful of dirt from the ground and began to feel around.
"Hey, Black Rabbit, how many hundred years have passed since that Gift Game with the Demon King?"
"..."
After a brief silence, Black Rabbit slowly spoke.
"Only three years have passed."
Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the Problem Children Trio changed.
Izayoi spoke with great interest.
"This is truly interesting. How could the Demon King's power alone cause this place to weather like this in just three short years?"
Luo Mio nodded thoughtfully, looking at the land before her that had become completely dead.
In Luo Mio's eyes, this area is now filled with the aura of death, and even with external means, it would take a long time to restore this land.
If using...
Luo Mio lowered her eyes and glanced at her palm.
Black Rabbit then led Luo Mio and the Problem Children Trio out and passed through the ruins, arriving at an empty house that was relatively well-preserved and full of life.
This is now the 'No Name' residential area.
As soon as they stepped inside, several figures appeared before Luo Mio, Izayoi, Asuka, and Yao.
"Ah! Ren and Sister Black Rabbit are back."
Ahead, about twenty children were excitedly greeting Black Rabbit and Ren.
Upon seeing the group of children, Luo Mio's eyes flickered slightly.
"They are..."
Among these twenty-odd children around ten years old, many belonged to races with cat ears or fox ears.
The leader was a blonde girl, about the same age as Jin, who wore clothes with two tails and fox ears.
"Lily, we're back."
Upon arriving at the children's side, Black Rabbit happily introduced Luo Mio and the Problem Children Trio to them.
The Problem Children Trio looked at the twenty-odd children in front of them and had different thoughts in their hearts.
'Just as Black Rabbit said, they're all little devils, and half of them aren't even human.'
'When I actually saw it, I realized there was much more than I had imagined, and this is only one-sixth...'
'... I'm not very good at dealing with kids, is this really okay...?'
Unlike the Problem Children Trio, when Luo Mio saw the group of children in front of her, as if she had thought of something, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted, and a smile appeared in her azure eyes.
The older-looking, blonde girl with fox ears looked at Ren.
"Renjun, we have already cleaned the waterways and reservoirs."
"Really? Thank you for your hard work, Lily."
"Hehehe, not at all. You, Renjun, who is the leader, are the one who has worked the hardest."
Ren smiled slightly upon hearing Lily's words to the other children.
However, that smile held a maturity unlike that of the other children; perhaps this was the growth that comes with being a leader...
After introducing everyone, Black Rabbit led them to the reservoir area.
From a distance, the 'No Name' reservoir appears as vast as a lake.
But now the reservoir is in the same state as when Luo Mio and the others first entered the gate, so desolate that it doesn't look like it was destroyed just three years ago.
The surrounding waterways looked as if they had been dry for several years. Although the structure was still solid and upright, there were obvious cracks in various parts, and sand and soil were piled up in important places.
No matter how thoroughly you clean it, some sand and dirt will still remain.
"The water gate leading to the main building is now open."
Lily also came over from the other side with several children.
Because 'No Name' was once the most powerful community in the eastern region. Although much of its territory is now abandoned, its land is still vast. Even with this Water Sapling, it is impossible to fill the reservoir and all the waterways in front of us, which are like a huge lake.
So Black Rabbit Lily and the other children to cut off the waterways in the residential area, leaving only a section that led directly to the main building and the annex.
Then Black Rabbit untied the rope binding the Water Sapling and placed it on the columnar pedestal in the center of the reservoir.
The moment the Black Rabbit was released.
A torrent of water, like a huge wave, overflowed from the roots of the Water Sapling, turning into a rushing stream that flowed directly into the reservoir.
Once the wrapping cloth for the Water Sapling was completely opened, the roots of the Water Sapling instantly wrapped around the entire pedestal, and the endless water flowed out even more.
The lush green leaves on the tree radiated a vibrant, subtle glow.
Reflected by the clear water, it appears even more radiant and bright.
Watching the turbulent water rush through the sluice gate of the reservoir, quickly filling the entire reservoir, the water flowed straight towards the headquarters building along the waterway.
Ren's eyes gleamed as he witnessed this scene.
"In that case, even if we don't participate in the Gift Game, the community will gradually grow stronger through slow development."
Hearing Ren's murmurs and looking at Ren's still-childish face, Luo Mio's eyes darkened slightly.
Izayoi, standing beside him, also noticed Ren's words and expression, just like Luo Mio. Her previously frivolous expression turned serious as she glanced at Ren and then looked down at the clear water that had filled the entire canal.
Then, Black Rabbit pulled Asuka Kudou and You Kasukabe Yo along towards the bathhouse.
The children behind him were also very happy and excited.
