Once, someone wondered what would happen if all the people in the world disappeared in an instant.
Now the answer is before us: the world remains the same, but civilization is no longer civilization.
No one expected that in just one day, Europe had become a land of dreams and downfall.
This time, the battlefield between humanity and Honkai was not on the level of reality, but in the realm of will.
"The Eighth Herrscher has mastered a special form of mental control, using meme pollution to pull everyone into a dream. The current problem is that we still don't know what the meme is, and this meme pollution may spread externally."
Someone urgently spoke to MEI: "The most important thing is that the satellites in reality cannot lock onto the location of the Herrscher of Sentience."
Although MEI had already summoned the God of War.
However, the current God of War could only clear out the Honkai Beasts and Zombies born from high concentrations of Honkai, but could not prevent these people from falling into a deep sleep, or even dying in their dreams.
"Prometheus, activate the God of War rehearsal system."
MEI immediately issued the command.
Prometheus: "Understood."
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Dr. MEI, what kind of method is this?"
MEI gestured for Prometheus to explain.
Prometheus said, "Recognizing that Honkai is based on the power of consciousness, Dr. MEI envisioned a way to attack the Herrscher through consciousness. And after Su became a mental perception type, the God of War can also open a battlefield based on consciousness."
"Moreover, since the God of War is directly controlled by me, it will not fall into a state of meme pollution."
"Also, this is to prepare for my next experiment."
Prometheus stopped speaking at this point.
At this moment, everyone temporarily ignored the so-called 'next experiment.'
But Chen Ran was an exception.
If his plot memory was correct, Prometheus's other experiment involving consciousness was to open the 'door' of Honkai.
He took a deep breath and then left with Bia.
Seeing this, Nuwa couldn't help but follow.
"Senior Chen Ran, aren't you worried?"
As the two walked down the corridor, Nuwa couldn't help but ask.
Chen Ran replied, "What should I be worried about?"
"All the smart people and warriors of Fire Moth are in MEI's laboratory fighting. If they fail, my worries would be useless. If they succeed, I wouldn't need to worry about anything."
He believed MEI would succeed.
Nuwa pondered for a moment: "That makes sense."
She curiously looked at Chen Ran and the Bia in his arms.
"Senior Chen Ran, are you busy next?"
"Have you ever seen a day when I wasn't busy?" Chen Ran replied with a puzzled tone.
Nuwa quickly smiled and said, "Of course, I asked because I've never seen you not busy. Shenzhou people value politeness the most."
She paused and said, "Senior Chen Ran, can you tell me what you will be busy with next? I also want to help you."
For Chen Ran, Nuwa always held a favorable impression.
Setting aside the feelings that arose from working together, Chen Ran had always been her father's lifesaver.
Later, she thought about having the opportunity to help Chen Ran, but due to many factors, it wasn't until now that she had the chance to say it.
Chen Ran casually said, "How should I put it? I have quite a lot to do next."
"However, if you want to help, that would be fine."
Nuwa excitedly said, "You can just directly instruct me on anything."
After Chen Ran and Nuwa left.
The battle was still ongoing.
With the assistance of the God of War's mental perception, Su finally pinpointed the location of the Herrscher of Sentience.
"I've found it."
Su said, "She has hidden herself in the dream connected to everyone, but I can now determine her position."
Prometheus immediately issued a command to the God of War: "Activate the force field."
...
...
Honkai is a distorted consciousness, and consciousness is a special form of Honkai.
Once people realized this, the battlefield opened by consciousness would also slowly take shape.
Under Prometheus's calculations, the Honkai Energy released by the God of War transformed into a special consciousness, beginning to 'lure' the meme pollution of the Herrscher of Sentience.
The Herrscher of Sentience fell for it.
Then, she found herself trapped in a place.
The dream and meme she was familiar with completely vanished, and the God of War's force field began to isolate all consciousness around the Herrscher.
When she saw that she could no longer pollute any consciousness, it meant she had to confront the giant before her head-on.
"Just a mere Honkai Beast."
This Herrscher displayed a rage that only a talented individual would express.
The massive God of War loomed over the Herrscher like a mountain in the dimension of consciousness.
This made her very displeased.
Unlike reality, being in the dimension of consciousness meant she had the power to control all consciousness.
"This is my home ground."
However, the Herrscher of Sentience saw enormous floating cannons appear around her, automatically locking onto the God of War to attack.
Yet, under Prometheus's control, the God of War could directly ignore the attacks of the Herrscher of Sentience.
Prometheus: "Activate the anti-Honkai force field."
It was like a back-and-forth in a game; from Prometheus's current perspective, the Herrscher of Sentience was merely releasing an extremely ordinary attack.
However, in the eyes of the Herrscher of Sentience, the current situation felt like encountering a ghost.
The so-called anti-Honkai force field, as the name suggests, is to evade Honkai Energy.
But how could that be possible?
One must understand that Honkai Energy is humanity's greatest enemy. If it could be evaded, then people wouldn't need to expend so much effort to deal with Honkai.
Thus, this anti-Honkai force field is essentially based on Honkai Energy decomposition technology, similar to the Moonlight Throne, converting Honkai into ordinary thermal energy.
And the so-called anti-Honkai is, in essence, anti-consciousness.
When the God of War began to activate the anti-Honkai force field, it meant that the Herrscher of Sentience's home ground was about to be shaken.
And Su naturally felt this scene.
"Su, it's up to you next."
Prometheus issued a command to Su.
Su: "I have already locked onto the Herrscher's position in reality."
"I am infiltrating her consciousness in the dream; give me a moment."
As a rare mental perception type MANTIS, Su's current talent could be said to be unparalleled.
Using him to find the source of the meme pollution was naturally the most suitable choice.
In the battlefield of Honkai, humanity does not fight alone.
The Herrscher of Sentience only felt that what she was facing were one challenge after another.
It was as if she was playing a game, where the difficulty had unexpectedly shifted from easy mode to hell mode.
The God of War was too large.
Large, which meant that the massive Honkai Eruption creatures that made up the God of War had too much room for error.
After all, regardless of the type of creature, being large means a higher margin for error.
The same goes for Honkai Beasts.
When the Herrscher discovered that she had lost the power to control the Honkai Beasts that made up the God of War, she became furious.
It was as if a landlord discovered a disobedient servant, and she decided to give this servant a good beating.
However, even when she mobilized the space of consciousness, turning all her power into a massive cannon to attack the God of War.
Under the influence of the anti-Honkai force field, these attacks had no effect.
Fire Moth, many who were watching the battlefield cast astonished glances at MEI.
Whether it was opening a battlefield on the level of consciousness or the anti-Honkai force field, these were things they had never heard of or seen before.
MEI ignored these gazes.
She withdrew her gaze and said, "I'm going out for some fresh air, Prometheus, I'll leave this to you."
"Okay, Doctor."
For MEI, there was no longer any need to continue watching here.
Prometheus could handle everything.
And indeed, that was the case.
Although Prometheus did not possess any thinking ability, it did not mean she lacked any command capability.
To be precise, for the extremely powerful Prometheus, relying on her immense computational power to calculate various situations and choose the optimal solution was essentially 'thinking'.
So-called thinking is merely a manifestation of insufficient computational power, extended by time.
After obtaining all permissions from MEI regarding the War God, Prometheus began her operations.
What she needed to do was not just defeat the Herrscher of Sentience.
At the same time, she also needed to find the 'door' to open Honkai through the Herrscher of Sentience.
Regarding the door to Honkai, this was MEI's speculation.
Since Honkai is a force that shifts from 'imaginary' to real space, there must be a 'door' appearing in the entire process.
This 'door' could exist in any form, and the only one likely to come into contact with it was the Herrscher of Sentience, who manipulated powers originating from Honkai.
This was also the experiment MEI wanted Prometheus to conduct.
"Push the consciousness of the Herrscher of Sentience to its limits and find traces of its connection to the Imaginary Tree."
Prometheus controlled the War God and then commanded Su, "I'm buying you time to invade the Herrscher's dream. Your task is to rescue people from the meme pollution."
"Understood."
Su followed Prometheus's orders.
His talent was not particularly stable, but he was extremely formidable in another field.
In fact, the reason Su could become a mental perceiver today was partly due to Chen Ran.
The Schariac serum provided by Chen Ran to the Fifth Research Institute was used for research on the treatment of Honkai disease.
Su extracted a portion of this serum and injected it into himself.
The Schariac bloodline inherently had the ability to manipulate Honkai, and this ability was fully activated under the effects of the super transformation surgery.
Although he could not directly liberate the Holy Blood like Cecilia, merging it into his spirit was enough to invade anyone's dream, including that of the Herrscher.
Soon, the Herrscher of Sentience discovered that she was being pushed back in her most proficient domain.
She controlled all items of consciousness, yet they were of no use against the massive War God.
The Herrscher did not know that behind this gigantic War God was the most advanced Soulium computer on this planet.
"I possess the world's strongest computational power; so-called consciousness is also a part of computational power."
Prometheus was very confident in herself.
This confidence would not diminish because of the opponent's identity.
In the cognition of artificial intelligence, humans need to think purely because of insufficient knowledge reserves, coupled with inadequate computational ability, which leads to prolonged response times.
She did not have this human flaw, so it was only natural that she would not think.
Indeed, this was a concept instilled in her by MEI.
Thinking is actually a defect.
All competitions of intelligence ultimately boil down to computational power, and Prometheus excelled in these.
Thus, she easily pushed the Herrscher of Sentience back in her own domain.
The massive War God was controlled by her in great detail, and each attack could inflict damage on the Herrscher of Sentience.
Although not much, it was enough.
Damage to consciousness was even more terrifying than physical damage, and soon, the Herrscher of Sentience began to exhibit abnormal behavior.
After realizing that her grasp of consciousness had no effect on the War God, she attempted to use meme pollution against it.
However, this was even less effective.
In fact, in the dimension of consciousness, Prometheus simulated the Herrscher and constructed new meme pollution, causing the Herrscher of Sentience to begin to collapse.
Almost instinctively, she sought help from a higher existence.
And this was also within Prometheus's calculations.
"Finally found it, the trajectory connecting the imaginary through consciousness."
Prometheus's expression darkened: "Then, what kind of answer lies before me?"
——
"Hahahahaha, hahahahahaha!"
"This is the complete Red Kite, the complete Fu Hua, the complete me!"
Fifty thousand years later, in Taixuan Mountain.
A grand split personality drama was unfolding.
The Book of Fuxi poked Fu Hua beside her: "Wooden head, what's wrong with her?"
"I don't know, she looks like she's been meme polluted."
Fu Hua did not expect that one day the Divine Key Fenghuang Down in her hand would once again make a sound.
It was a hearty laugh.
Then, this laughter triggered a Major Honkai Eruption.
Fu Hua sighed: "I never thought that one day Fenghuang Down would become sentient."
The Book of Fuxi said, "Rather, Fenghuang Down itself is the Herrscher Core, and now it has become the Herrscher of Sentience, which is quite reasonable."
The Herrscher Core from the previous civilization era had undergone changes in this era.
It had come back to life.
To be precise, the Will of Honkai reconnected with Fenghuang Down, and then, due to Fu Hua's memories, Fenghuang Down underwent some kind of reaction.
Under the astonished gazes of Fu Hua and the Book of Fuxi, a figure almost identical to Fu Hua emerged.
The Book of Fuxi frowned at Fu Hua: "Wooden head, can you still manage now?"
"I should still have the strength for one last fight."
No matter what was happening with the current Fenghuang Down, a Herrscher was still a Herrscher.
She naturally could not ignore the Herrscher.
"Moreover, Elysia hasn't left," Fu Hua said softly.
The Book of Fuxi nodded.
Fu Hua's body had never fully recovered; even though Elysia later borrowed the Abyss Flower, it only healed her physical injuries, but her mental state had been on a downward spiral.
In other words, the spirit and energy Fu Hua had while cultivating the Taixuan Sword Qi were gone.
Fenghuang Down had burned too many memories, leaving her in a constant state of decline.
If she were to face another Herrscher...
Fu Hua cast aside all thoughts in her mind and looked at the other self that Fenghuang Down had transformed into.
She said, "Come on."
Herrscher of Sentience: "Huh, there's another me here? Oh, I see, that's that failed old relic."
"It doesn't matter."
"All that has passed, I have experienced failure and betrayal. The current me will turn everything around!"
The Herrscher of Sentience and Fu Hua fought together.
Instantly, the concentration of Honkai Energy in Taixuan Mountain overflowed intensely, even affecting the people below the mountain.
Fortunately, thanks to Elysia, the residents below had already evacuated.
With no burdens, Fu Hua naturally gave it her all.
"Fist of the Earth, open the heavens!"
Fu Hua did not have any preferred weapons, so she only used her fists.
But unlike her, the Herrscher of Sentience, having read her memories, was proficient in all weapons and techniques.
As the two fought, the Book of Fuxi quickly flew far away.
"This is bad, the wooden head's house is going to be demolished; she had pickled so much Spring Unaging before."
"Ah no, this should be good news; after all, I've been displeased with that wooden house for a long time."
"Herrscher of Sentience, you need to do your best; at least demolish the house before going down."
The Book of Fuxi muttered.
Not far away, Wendy, who had rushed over, asked Elysia beside her.
"Is it okay for us to just watch here?"
Elysia smiled brightly: "Of course it's fine, just trust Hua."
"And besides, like the Book of Fuxi, I've been displeased with that house for a long time."
Elysia was someone who loved excitement.
During this time, she had been living with Fu Hua in Taixuan Mountain, which could be said to be a time of self-cultivation.
In Taixuan Mountain, the most common entertainment activity was playing chess.
Elysia had never experienced such grievances.
Wendy: "Uh..."
Elysia smiled brightly: "Alright, don't worry, Hua will be fine."
"Rather, I'm more concerned about another matter."
Elysia's expression turned serious: "Is it because the early appearance of the Herrscher of Sentience?"
"Yes," she said, "whether fifty thousand years ago or now, the appearance of the Herrscher has come much earlier."
Even though Elysia was an optimist, she couldn't ignore the fact that the Herrscher was coming one after another.
Both Elysia and Wendy were well aware that the early appearance of the Herrscher had only one reason: that was the full-domain connection constructed by Chen Ran.
When the full-domain connection succeeded, it meant that humanity could open the dimension of time between the past and the future.
The opening of this dimension could achieve many functions.
Naturally, if Honkai and civilization had some coefficient relationship, the full-domain connection would cause a certain coefficient value of civilization to surge, and Honkai would be the same.
Wendy thought of this and couldn't help but frown.
Does Honkai really have no weaknesses at all?
She instinctively looked at Elysia and found Elysia still had a calm expression.
Wendy couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you worried?"
Elysia smiled brightly: "Of course I don't need to worry."
"Because Chen Ran is about to succeed."
Her words left Wendy puzzled.
"Well, I remember there's a saying in Shenzhou: if the enemy doesn't want you to do something, it means that thing is correct."
Elysia said casually: "So, doesn't this mean that the full-domain connection itself is correct, or rather, it is a validated path?"
"Then, Chen Ran himself is about to succeed."
Elysia's words were logical, causing Wendy to fall into thought for a moment.
On the other side, the battle between Fu Hua and the Herrscher of Sentience also came to a swift conclusion.
