Collapse: Start as a Mimic Herrscher

"I didn't expect that following you, I would end up back at this place☆" Xilin said while looking at the towering Tower of Babel.

"After all, everything started here, and it will naturally end here."

Xilin looked at Lu Ren and said, "I saw the person you mentioned outside the window."

"how do you feel?"

"...She was warm, like the sun," Xilin recalled.

"That's right. Cecilia is the most popular Valkyrie in the Sky. If she raises her arms and leaves Otto, more than half of the Valkyries will follow her."

As Lu Ren and Xilin were talking, they unknowingly walked to the front of the tower.

There are many Honkai beasts here, including some emperor-level Honkai beasts. They seem to be guarding the Tower of Babel and not letting others in.

"Bella, I'll leave these Honkai beasts to you. Come find us inside after you've cleaned them up☆"

Xilin arranged Bella to be responsible for clearing out the Honkai beasts that appeared around, so as to clear obstacles for other people to arrive later.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Bella nodded and flew towards the Honkai beasts.

At this moment, on the other side, Fu Hua was looking at the snow scene, with memories of the past flashing in her eyes.

"Master." Cheng Lixue walked to Fu Hua and watched the snow scene with her.

"Lixue, I still remember that time when it snowed on Mount Taixu, you were so happy. But when you ran outside to play, you stepped on an icy ground, slipped and fell, and you cried for a long time."

Cheng Lixue coughed a few times and looked around. When he didn't see anyone else, he whispered to Fu Hua, "Master, don't talk about such embarrassing things."

"Cheng Men Li Xue, this is the origin of your name. I know you have always had questions in your heart and want to ask me why I left you."

Cheng Lixue stared at Fu Hua, but the latter's eyes were not cast on her face, but still looking at the snow scene.

Fu Hua was about to speak when Cecilia's voice came from Cheng Lixue's headphones.

After hearing this, she glanced at the snowy plain in the distance, and then said to Fu Hua, "Master, let's talk about it when we come back. The snow... has stopped."

Fu Hua was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and said, "Okay, we'll talk about it when we get back."

The perspective returns to Lu Ren again. The two people who entered the tower were shocked by the scene in front of them.

The entire ground of the Tower of Babel disappeared, replaced by a huge deep pit.

The pit is pitch black and bottomless, like a bottomless black hole, making people feel fear and uneasiness.

It is like a ferocious mouth that swallows everything, open and waiting for people to fall into its trap.

Lu Ren and Xilin looked at each other. Xilin saw anxiety in Lu Ren's eyes. She opened her mouth and was about to ask Lu Ren what was going on.

Suddenly, waves of blue sound waves spread out from the big pit, creating ripples like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

As the sound waves continued to expand outward, wherever they passed, the air and objects produced distorted ripples, as if the entire space had become unstable.

However, surprisingly, after this powerful sound wave passed through her body, Xilin did not feel any discomfort or pain.

On the contrary, she only felt her eyelids becoming heavier and heavier, and a strong sense of sleepiness surged into her heart, making it difficult for her to resist.

Although she tried to struggle to open her eyes, no matter how hard she tried, her eyelids could not be lifted, as if they were suppressed by an invisible force.

Lu Ren's mouth opened and closed, and he seemed to be saying something, but unfortunately Xilin was dizzy at the moment and couldn't hear anything clearly.

It was like falling into a river, with countless streams of water washing over Xilin.

This feeling was something she had never experienced before, and her body no longer belonged to her.

She vaguely heard the laughter of the family. Their happiness made Xilin wonder if she would have such a wonderful time if her mother had not died.

She closed her eyes and recalled every detail of the past. She had forgotten all the memories of her childhood...

She tried to recall her memory with her mother, and when she was about to grasp it, something hard hit her head.

"Xilin, you're sleeping in class, stand at the back!"

Xilin opened her eyes suddenly and was surprised to find that she was no longer in the Tower of Babel.

Many people around were looking at her, and there was also someone on the podium looking at her with a somewhat unfriendly expression.

"Hey, Lu Ren, why are you up there?" Xilin rubbed her eyes. The person standing up there was undoubtedly the black-haired Lu Ren.

"It's bad enough that you're sleeping in class, but you're also calling the teacher by his name. Are you planning to keep going down this path? Stay after school. I want to have a good talk with your parents about your child's education."

Xilin was completely confused. She had no idea what was going on.

"You're half asleep, aren't you? Go stand at the back." Lu Ren looked at Xilin who had no intention of moving and said, "You wasted one minute. There are forty students in the class. In total, you've wasted forty minutes of our time."

"...How is this calculated?" Xilin muttered, but still stood behind.

"Well, students, let's continue talking about the problem of comprehensiveness in deductive reasoning. For example..." Lu Ren turned around and continued writing on the blackboard.

Time always passes quickly during lectures.

Soon it was time to go home from school. Xilin sat in her seat, and Lu Ren sat opposite her.

There were no students left in the classroom at this time. Xilin looked at Lu Ren, who had a serious expression on his face and seemed not to want to talk to Xilin.

After about a few minutes, the crisp sound of high heels rang out in the corridor, and then a tall woman with a unique temperament walked in.

Her hair is as white as snow, shining with a faint luster; her eyes are like deep sapphires, revealing a mysterious and charming light.

She wore a loose white top with a pair of slim jeans, showing a casual yet fashionable style.

"Teacher Lu Ren, what mistake did our Xilin make again?"

"Cecilia, what I taught your Xilin has shortened my life. This child is just like you in the past." Lu Ren looked at Cecilia helplessly.

Xilin's pupils trembled, and she murmured in disbelief: "What is going on? How could I be..."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu Ren, please forgive her this time."

"Okay, okay, take her away. It's Kiana's birthday soon. Wait for me." Lu Ren got up and went out, leaving behind a few words.

Now only Cecilia and Xilin were left in the classroom.

Cecilia smiled and said to Xilin: "Although Mr. Lu Ren looks fierce, he will be fine as long as you give in. There is nothing wrong with sleeping in class. Who hasn't slept in class?"

Xilin nodded, and a warm feeling surged into her heart.

"Okay, this is my gift, you can take it to Kiana. Happy birthday to Kiana." Lu Ren came in with a gift wrapped in a box and handed it to Cecilia.

"Okay, let's go home." Cecilia stretched out a hand, and Xilin hesitated for a moment, then grabbed that hand.

Suddenly, she saw her mother's shadow in Cecilia.
