A mysterious man leaned against the giant tree, looking at the gently falling leaves in front of him. He slowly stretched out his hand to catch the fallen leaves.
Before the civilization of the last era was destroyed, each selected forerunner was entrusted with the plan to fight against Honkai by the genius scientist MEI at the time.
Among these plans, there is the "Ark" plan that leaves the earth with the gene pool to find a second home; there is also the "Fire" plan that entrusts the forerunners to pass on knowledge and culture to the next generation; and the "Hengsha" plan that observes other "worlds"
"plan.
And this man with his back leaning against the big tree is the forerunner responsible for executing the "Hengsha" plan - SU.
"Each leaf represents the possibility of defeating Honkai."
SU raised the leaf that fell in his hand, and what appeared on the leaf was the scene of the Herrscher of the End destroying mankind.
"...Alas, this 'world' has also failed. The civilization destroyed by the collapse will just be like these fallen leaves...quietly withering and turning into 'bubbles'."
After seeing the ending of the world represented by that fallen leaf, SU also let go of the fallen leaf in his hand, and the leaf quietly dissipated in the wind.
In the past thousands of years, SU has seen as many leaves as the sand in the Ganges. But he has never been able to find a leaf that will not wither.
What flourishes must decline...even the most glorious civilization will eventually wither.
However, the trees still have lush branches and leaves. When the leaves fall, they will grow again. Compared with it, human life is just a moment.
"A limited life cannot see endless leaves."
SU slowly stood up and walked towards a lake not far away.
"Fortunately, I have found my answer!"
Arriving in front of the small lake, SU stared at the lake. The rippled lake surface was like a mirror. However, the figure reflected in the lake was not SU, but his best friend, the strongest fusion warrior of the previous era—
—Kevin.
"My dear friend! Thousands of years have passed, have you also found your answer? Or are you still imprisoned in the phantom of the past?"
"Back then, I deceived you and trapped you in the Quantum Sea. In order to atone for my sins, I also locked myself in the Key of the Second God."
SU took a look at Kevin's reflection standing under the cherry blossom tree in the lake and sat down.
"Every time I see a thousand fallen leaves, I will come to the lake to take a look at you. But I have betrayed you and dare not say a word to you..."
At this moment, the lake surface suddenly fluctuated violently.
"!?"
SU seems to know what happened.
"!!"
Kevin, who was in the Quantum Sea in the lake, seemed to be aware of this change, but he still remained silent.
"I see...the person I've been waiting for is finally here."
After noticing something, SU immediately got up and left the lake.
"Looks like I have to take the first step, KEVIN."
"Goodbye, my best friend!"
…
2016, spring.
More than three months after Tianming obtained the Second God's Key.
Destiny Headquarters, Floating Island.
"After these few months of hard work, the Second God's Key is finally ready for use. But everything about the Second God's Key is a mystery."
Otto held a glass of red wine in his hand, standing aside and looking at the countless information about the Second God's Key displayed on the light screen.
"Based on the records in the soul steel found in the Key of God, there is only one thing we can know..."
"In the past 4,500 years, the Second God's Key has been used to observe other "parallel worlds" on the "Tree of Imaginary Numbers", but there are no other records about the "Tree of Imaginary Numbers" in the soul steel."
"However, just this word is enough to make me ecstatic. My wish is no longer a fantasy. The Second God's Key is indeed the key I am looking for."
Although Otto doesn't know much information about the Second God's Key at present, he has a hunch that the Second God's Key can help him realize his wish for many years.
"The word 'Tree of Imaginary Numbers' in Soul Steel is like a bait, making me eager to activate the Second God Key."
"Is this some kind of trap? In that case, I will be fully prepared."
Otto then drank all the red wine in the glass and gave instructions to Amber beside him.
"Amber, help me inform Hollander. The first activation experiment of the Second God Key will be carried out in twelve hours. Let her be ready to participate in the experiment!"
"Yes, Lord Bishop!"
…
On the other side, between the void.
"Divine Thunder·Sky Strike!"
boom--
A purple lightning bolt cut through the sky, and everything in its path was completely destroyed by the lightning.
"Huh~ Xingyu's Heavenly Tribulation form has been completely adapted to it, and the divine thunder sword technique dedicated to the big sword has also been reviewed several times."
Lin Yu waved the dark purple sword surrounded by purple thunder and lightning in his hand.
This big sword is exactly the form of Xingyu's big sword - Heavenly Tribulation. It was made by Lin Yu based on the core of Thunder Herrscher. In terms of its power alone, it may be much stronger than the previous Tianyuan.
"If you use this move a few more times, the void will be destroyed by you."
Novalu didn't know why she suddenly appeared next to Lin Yu. It seemed that she had also seen Lin Yu's amazing blow just now.
"I have restrained myself enough. If the rated power of the Heavenly Tribulation is lifted, the destructive power will have to increase by several levels!"
That's right! This is only the destructive power of the Heavenly Tribulation Great Sword in its normal mode. If the rated power is released, it will probably hit the boundary between the voids directly. If you are not careful, you may destroy the boundary!
"I'm really convinced. How much stronger have you become since you woke up on New Year's Day? I feel like if I fight you now, I have no chance of winning without turning on the Herrscher form."
So far, Novalu has not figured out what kind of strength Lin Yu is now, but her experienced combat intuition tells her that she is no longer Lin Yu's opponent.
"Let's not talk about it anymore. How is Xiao Ai lately? Hasn't she been practicing with you?"
Lin Yu also quickly changed the topic. After all, even he himself couldn't figure out his current strength level.
You know, he still has the Seven-Star God Seal on his body!
"Xiao Ai learns very quickly. My Tianyu Nine Styles were learned with little effort."
At first, Noir was shocked when he taught Noel the nine moves of Tianyu, because Noir didn't need to teach the first seven moves at all. Noel had already mastered them completely. This made Noir even more excited.
It is certain that Novalu is indeed her sister. After all, Tianyu Nine Styles are her own unique skills. If they are not very close to her, she will never teach them to others.
But this is normal. After all, as the sister of the strongest guardian of mankind, how could Noelle not learn some basic moves from her sister?
"And recently, Rin and Xiao Fei took Xiao Ai out to train with real Honkai Beasts. Although they still can't beat the temple-level Honkai Beasts, they can barely defeat the tank-level ones. If there are more than a dozen
It’s totally fine if you’re just a knight-level one!”
Novalu was very proud of Lin Yu and talked about the amazing progress Noelle had made these days. However, as Novalu became more and more involved in the narrative, Lin Yu's eyes when he looked at Novalu gradually changed.
"Lulu, I'm afraid the 'girl control' attribute is going to be activated again, right?"
In Feather Blade's training ground.
"Feiyu!"
"Sanhua!"
Two figures, one black and one crimson, kept intertwining, and the battle looked very fierce.
"Rin! Xiao Ai! Aren't you tired after practicing? Can't you take a good rest?"
On a recliner not far from the training ground, Hitamamaru was leisurely drinking a drink. Seeing that both Yae Rin and Noelle had been training for so long, she wanted them to stop and take a rest.
"I got it, Sister Xiaofei!"×2
Rin Yae and Noelle quickly stopped training after hearing Hitamamaru's voice.
The training they undergo is the kind that does not use Honkai energy at all, and they rely entirely on their own swordsmanship to compete.
This is also an important reason why Hitamamaru does not participate in this kind of training. After all, she still knows how good her swordsmanship is.
After putting the training weapons back to their original places, Yae Rin and Noelle also came to the table next to Hitamamaru and sat down.
Although this is a training ground, because Kallen and Cang Xuan are foodies, there are quite a few snacks and snacks placed here.
"Xiao Ai, have you fully adapted to the Mo Yuan Blade that Sister Cangxuan and Sister Danzhu made for you?"
Mo Yuan is an exclusive soul steel weapon made by Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu for Noelle. Its core is the simulated core of death made by Lin Yu, so Mo Yuan should be regarded as a pseudo-god key.
, its power is not much weaker than the ordinary Xuanyuan Sword.
Of course, it can't be compared with the one in Ji Lin's hand!
"I have completely adapted to it, and it is very easy to use!"
With that said, Noelle took out Mo Yuan from the space pendant he was wearing.
This is a tachi as black as ink. Whether it is the hilt or the blade, most of the color is black, and only a few parts are of other colors.
Just when Noelle was waving Mo Yuan, Hitamaru suddenly sensed something in his mind.
"Um?"
Not knowing what happened, Hitamaru suddenly sat up from the recliner.
"Huh? Sister Xiao Fei, what's wrong?"
Yae Rin and Noelle were shocked by Hitamamaru's sudden reaction.
"The Destiny Headquarters is going to start the activation experiment of the Second God Key. I have to tell my brother about this!"
Cangxuan and Danzhu have Alsius monitoring Tianming's system, so they will know about it soon. But Lin Yu is not there, so Hiyamawan has to inform him.
Starting from the next update, the word count of a chapter will be similar to that of a normal novel chapter, probably between 2000-2500. PS: The results come from data collected by myself within an hour.
