On the occasion of collapse

The last time I came here, Bai Zhi came with her on the anniversary of Li Changle's death.

Looking at the two old tombstones in front of her, Fuling looked past them and towards the one that looked slightly new.

Slowly walking to it, Fu Ling gently brushed off the dust on it and read the words on it clearly.

'The Tomb of Bai Zhi Zili'

"Stinky girl, how can anyone build a tombstone for themselves?" She cursed with a smile, and Fu Ling bent down and gently touched the tombstone.

"I don't know what's going on with you. But you won't lie to your sister, right?"

After saying this, Fu Ling seemed to have thought of something and stood up straight.

"What am I talking about?" Shaking her head, Fu Ling took a deep look at the monument erected by the person on the tombstone.

Without saying anything else, Fu Ling turned around and left.

This is the last stop.

She is leaving, and the next time she comes back, she doesn’t know how many years it will be...

Stretching out her hand, Fu Ling opened the space in front of her, but did not step in immediately.

In front of you is the imaginary number space, an existence that humans cannot understand. Behind you is the human world, the world that people rely on to survive.

"Haha." With a sigh, Poria took steps and left this 'human world'.

———————————————————————————————— (Didi, didi, didi! A time jump in a larger dimension is about to begin!)

In the imaginary space, Poria put away the oil-paper umbrella and looked at the house in front of her that she had not returned to for a while.

He looked around and saw that there was no change from when she left.

Slowly walking towards the hut, Poria stretched out her hand and pushed open the door of the hut.

"Oh ho~ Isn't this the little Poria that has been away from home for 100 years? Why, did you know that he is back?" Sitting on the chair with his feet off the ground, An held a cup in his hand... Wait, after a while Can...of Coke?

"Hiccup." As if to verify Fu Ling's guess, An burped in cooperation.

Casting a doubtful look at An, Fu Ling's meaning was very obvious.

"What's that look in your eyes! What's wrong! Which god has stipulated that the Supreme God cannot drink Coke! I'm going to kill him!" Looking at Poria's strange eyes, An Fei patted the table next to him with great force and made a weak sound. .

"No, I'm just curious that you actually like to drink this." Fu Ling also drank Coke before.

It tasted really good, but Alicia didn't let her drink too much at that time, saying that drinking too much was bad for her teeth.

So she went to drink milk tea.

"Humph~ Can't you?" An took two big sips from the Coke can, wiped her mouth, and said confidently.

"Of course." Facing this old kid who didn't know how old he was, what else could Fu Ling say.

"By the way, give me a cup of milk tea."

"...You're still talking about me, don't you drink milk tea too?" An rolled her eyes, jumped off the chair, walked to the refrigerator on the side, and took out a cup of original milk tea from it.

"Now, this is the only one." Handing the steaming milk tea to Fu Ling, An ran to the chair, jumped slightly, and sat firmly on the chair.

Looking at the steaming milk tea in her hand, Fuling certainly knew that the 'refrigerator' was actually a space passage.

"So, why don't you just take it?" Pulling the chair aside, Fu Ling slowly sat down and took a small sip of the milk tea in her hand.

"Well, it tastes good."

"Life should have a sense of ritual, girl, no one told you?" Hearing Fu Ling's question, An generously told her the answer.

"A sense of ritual?" After looking up and down at An's current look, Fuling raised her eyebrows under An's doubtful gaze.

"I really don't see any sense of ceremony when dressed like this." Holding back her laughter, Fu Ling gave her own comment.

"Tch~ This is my house. I have the final say on how you dress." An, who was wearing a large white T-shirt, rolled her eyes and tugged on the T-shirt that had slid down one shoulder.

The compassion hung down to An's thighs, covering half of His thighs.

As for the question of whether to wear something underneath or not...

How did you come up with this idea?

Even if it's legal, it can't...well, cough...

"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore." After finishing the Coke in his hand, An threw away the can in his hand and was sent into the void turbulence in mid-air, where he was crushed into dregs.

With her hands clasped in front of her chest, Ann's eyes glowed purple.

As An's hands parted, a transparent energy group appeared in front of Fu Ling.

And the things inside only made her feel close.

"Well, I only found these." An said slowly as he handed the energy ball in his hand to Fu Ling.

"Yeah." She replied softly, and Fu Ling put all her attention on the energy ball in her hand...

That little bit of pink light...

Chapter 375 Herrscher Power, Soul

(Note: This chapter and the next chapter contain a large number of author’s personal settings.)

Looking at Fu Ling who focused all his attention on the light spot, An Wei sighed.

You say you have let it go, but more than 5 years have passed, haven't you still not let it go?

"It has been more than a hundred years since you succeeded to the position of Honkai God. There are some things that you should understand, so I won't go into details." Pulling out a pillow from one side, An hugged the soft pillow and spoke slowly.

"Tell me something you haven't understood yet, such as...the power of the Herrscher and the nature of the soul." An said slowly. These are things that Poria has not yet understood, or perhaps does not dare to understand.

After hearing An's words, Fu Ling's body stiffened for a moment. She looked at the energy ball wrapped with light spots in her hand, and it took a while before she gave an answer.

"Ah."

Looking at Poria like this, An did not urge Poria to put down the energy ball that actually had no meaning.

"Herrschers are weapons born under the filtering effect of Honkai Impact on the world. They are usually transformed from a creature in that world. Generally speaking, they are creatures that are disgusted or even hate the current world. Believe this, you You should know." An said slowly, asking Fu Ling from time to time.

"Yeah, I know." Fu Ling didn't hesitate, of course she knew.

"The power of the Herrscher is usually determined based on the understanding of the creatures in the current world. For example, if the creatures in a world begin to discover electromagnetic force, then correspondingly, the power of the Herrscher will give birth to the power that can completely control the electromagnetic force." Anman Slowly speaking, the birth law of these Herrscher powers.

"Of course, if there is no technology that can be derived, then Honkai will naturally not filter the world."

An looked at Fu Ling's lack of interest and knew that Fu Ling knew all these things, so he simply stopped going into details.

"Let's talk about the so-called return to Honkai Impact." Picking a topic that Poria might be interested in, An Shun took out a can of Coke from one side and opened it gently.

"Hey." The sound of opening a can of soda added a lively tone to this originally somewhat serious conversation environment.

"The so-called return to Honkai does not mean the return of Herrscher himself to Honkai." After taking a sip of coke, An's first words when he put down the coke made Fuling fall into silence.

Yes, she had already guessed it.

"Most Herrschers don't belong to Honkai in the first place, so how can they talk about returning?" An Ziran saw Fuling's reaction, but what he had to do was to make Fuling accept this fact.

"If you ask, there is no Herrscher who was originally born in Honkai, and originally belonged to Honkai. The answer is also very simple, yes. Those are the ones you have seen, Final Yan, and Siyuan." He drank in small sips. An was talking casually while sipping a Coke, as if she was used to these things.

"Shiyuan and Jingyan, as the names suggest, are the first Herrscher and the last Herrscher in a selection. They were all born in Honkai and originally belonged to Honkai Herrschers. So, their so-called return to Honkai , is there any difference?" As he spoke, An looked at the Poria beside him.

Seeing Fuling gently biting her lower lip, An knew that Fuling had the answer in her heart, but she was unwilling to confirm it.

But now, He needs to be the bad guy and put this answer in front of Fu Ling.

"The answer is, no."

After getting the answer, Fu Ling's heart sank instantly.

"Whether it's the Origin, the End, or other Herrschers. Their return to Honkai is just to return their power and strength to Honkai." Half of the Coke in his hand was drunk, and he looked at it. He glanced at Coke and spoke slowly.

"And then, it's a question of the soul."

"The soul is a wonderful thing. In the beginning, when the Supreme God with the power of the soul was not born, the Supreme Gods knew little about it." An seemed to say casually, but he told Fuling a lot of things.

"For example, the soul of a life is a whole composed of countless small particles. When this life dies, the small particles that make up its soul will disperse and turn into small particles. Until they are reunited again It is randomly combined with other particles to form another soul."

"When a life is highly similar to another life in the past, it means that the particles that make up their souls are highly overlapping. Of course, some similarities are also due to the partial overlap of soul particles."

"In the reassembled soul, there may be several, dozens, hundreds or even thousands of particles that have composed other souls. However, they may also be newly born soul particles."

"However, with so many leaves on the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, it is inevitable that the soul particles will die. Therefore, the Tree of Imaginary Numbers itself will also produce new soul particles." At this point, An paused.

"The newly born soul particles have no color or characteristics. The vast majority of lives cannot leave their own 'color' on the soul particles, but a very small number of lives can leave their own 'color' on the soul particles, their own Characteristics." After speaking, An pointed to the energy ball in Poria cocos' hand.

"Just like her, her soul is composed of newly born soul particles, without any other 'color'. And she left her own 'color' on these particles."

"Back to the issue of Herrscher's return to Honkai. Herrscher's power and strength have been returned to Honkai, and the soul is like other living things, redispersed into particles, waiting to form the next soul." He glanced at the few in the energy group. Pink particles, An said slowly.

"Siwon is no exception."

"When I discovered her soul particles, most of them had recomposed the soul, and only this small part was left by me." Listening to An's words, Fu Ling looked at the scattered light spots in her hands, her expression flickering.

"If you want to ask, if retrieving all the particles that once made up a person's soul can resurrect this person, I can give you the answer." Looking at Fuling's open mouth, An was the first to say what Fuling wanted to ask. if.

"First of all, it is impossible to retrieve all the particles." However, An's first words made the fire of hope ignited by Poria much weaker.

"Don't say it's you, even if it's me and Wu, we can't do it." Looking at Fuling's expression, An knew that this was a big blow to Fuling.

"When the soul is redispersed, it is inevitable that some particles will scatter into the quantum sea and be absorbed by it and become nutrients. As for whether there will be none, this possibility can be ignored."

"Secondly, how many particles will the soul of a life be divided into? No one knows. Soul particles can be large or small. How many particles does a soul have? How many particles will it be divided into again? Even the Supreme God of the soul doesn't know .”

"This is the uncertainty of the soul."

"So retrieving all the particles is inherently impossible."

After saying this, An looked at Fuling's slightly closed eyes and knew the impact of these words on Fuling.

However, it is far from enough to make Poria cocos, which has been settled for tens of thousands of years, collapse.

Chapter 376 They can be infinitely similar, but they can never be her.

Seeing Fu Ling's lack of energy, An blinked.

Now that the hurtful part is out of the way, let’s talk about some things that can be done.

"Of course, it is still possible to retrieve most, or even most, of the particles." After saying this, An saw Fuling turning her head and looking at him.

"Don't worry. Before I say this, Fuling, let me ask you, can you treat all life as nothing?" An looked at Fuling, waiting for her answer.

"I... don't know." Fuling pursed her lips, but only gave this ambiguous answer.

Does she value all life?No, she won't. She can wipe out an entire world of life without changing her expression.

She doesn't care about all life?No, she will also care about some lives.

She would want to protect them and watch them grow.

Very contradictory.

"In this case, it will take you a long, long time to find most of her soul, and the process will not be beautiful." Looking at Fuling's appearance, An nodded.

"If the reorganized soul is to be dispersed again, it means the disappearance of this soul, that is, the death of this life. If you are not willing to unconditionally kill the life with her soul particles, then you can only wait for its own death." Having said this, An raised her head and looked out through the window at the sky she had created.

"Search, wait, and collect. A life spans nearly a hundred years. No one knows how long it takes to collect. No one knows how long you have to search. No one knows how many particles you can find. The final result is probably It’s just helpless.”

"You don't know whether you will have feelings for any life in the process of collecting, and you don't know whether it is worth spending thousands, even tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of years." At this point, An used a kind of Fu Ling looked at Fu Ling with eyes that could be read.

"Even if you know, even if it succeeds, she will not be the one who comes back in the end."

Putting down the jar in her hand, An jumped to the ground, walked to the window, and looked at the blue sky.

"Poria, we are very similar. A long time ago, I also had someone I cared about. She was like my mother, taking care of me when I was born. I also tried to collect the scattered soul particles after her death." An Turning back, he looked at Poria.

"Do you know how long it took me?" An's tone was a little helpless, but more relieved.

"24 years, I spent so long searching and collecting bit by bit. Finally, I fused the particles I collected and used the newly born soul particles to complete the soul."

As he said this, a mocking smile appeared on An's face.

"But, Poria, she is not the one who comes back in the end."

"Even if I collect most of her soul, no matter how high the overlapping degree of the soul particles is. However, the soul has no memory, it is still a new soul. The dead cannot be resurrected, and even if they look alike, she is not she.

It was a new life. They could be infinitely similar, but they could never be her. "

"Even if I give them the same name, even if I try hard to make them look very similar. But, in the end, they are two lives, not one person."
