Collapse, survive

Walter was stunned. What the heck?

Wait a minute, what is this?!

Fu Xuan didn't see it; she was too short and didn't like to look up. She only felt that the situation was so complicated and dangerous, and if it all broke out at once... Fortunately, there were the Star Core Hunters and the Star Train.

At this moment, Fu Xuan felt that... it was time to press the enemy to their deaths!

"Right now, Huanlong's target must be Jianmu! To seize Jianmu is to steal the very source of Luofu, making the destruction of the Immortal Ship a piece of cake. There's no time to lose, we must stop her!"

With her keen insight and wisdom, she broke through the critical route that Jing Yuan had analyzed, confirmed, and planned countless times.

This isn't a difference in intelligence, but a difference in experience. She hasn't experienced those things and doesn't understand some people.

In short, what needs to be done now is to head to where Jianmu is, to Lin Yuan Realm.

Rush!

.

Chapter 114 So-called pioneering is...

Before heading towards the Scale Abyss Realm, the pioneering team had one more thing to do.

Right there in the Dan Ding Si, the pioneers mourned their friends.

"Waaaaah... Fang Jie, my good Fang Jie..."

"His life was short..."

Walter glanced at Xing and March 7, who were covering their eyes in sorrow, and didn't know what to say.

"..."

He glanced ahead again at Fang Jie, who was returning from his sit-ups.

"..."

I don't know what to say anymore.

The crying I heard was so pitiful.

"Wow, Fang Jie, I never expected you to..."

"There are still so many things left unsaid, and even your last meal was just a serving of organic rice..."

It was so tragic; they huddled together and wept bitterly.

"Fang Jie, my Fang Jie!"

Fang Jie was speechless. While he was doing sit-ups, his primordial spirit was still floating around them like a ghost. This was even closer to him than information projection; it was a manifestation of spirituality.

That is, out-of-body experience!

"Thank you all."

"Help! It's come back to life..."

On March 7th, she suddenly screamed, seemingly terrified of ghosts.

Xing, brave as ever, shielded her in front of him, his expression resolute: "Come at me if you have a problem!"

"Stop playing. This kind of game is creepy, and you guys aren't playing it professionally enough. I'll introduce you to Hu Tao from now on; she's the real professional."

The voice of the primordial spirit Fang Jie was deep and ethereal. Walter decided to stop wondering who Hu Tao was and waited for Fang Jie to finish his 'sit-ups' as soon as possible.

Compared to Lao Yang's reconstruction of his physical body with the resonance and support of many souls, and Bronya's refinement of the Herrscher core under Seele's emotional impetus, this is the reconstruction of the Angel.

At this moment, the difficulty of Fang Jie's sit-up is somewhere in between, roughly.

He possesses a physical body, yet he must 'repair' it into a completely different underlying structure—the Chimera!

This new design is quite a patchwork; it's not the ape-like appearance, tanuki-like body, tiger-like limbs and tail of a chimera. No, it's a fusion at the 'hypermutation factor' level, which is a correction of the imaginary singularity.

Even with the [Fate], Fang Jie needs to modify more than just the DNA blueprint; he also needs to modify and add to the corresponding higher-dimensional power, which is equivalent to modifying and adding to the [Abundance] divine power blessing that the Immortal Ship people possess.

The 'Free Body Manifestation' of the Celestial Boat People is a similar function, which allows them to continuously absorb the genes of other life forms to strengthen themselves, especially other abundant peoples.

In fact, this is how the vast majority of the galactic people utilize the power of abundance: constantly absorbing and taking the blessings bestowed upon them by the Medicine Master...

In contrast, the restraint of the Immortal Ship people, sealing themselves away, actually...

—Authentic and Abundant!

The mind transcends material things; I seek the Way myself.

Returning to Fang Jie, he was quite orthodox. He had just come into contact with Jianmu Blessing, and although he was still at a very basic level, he immediately began to devour the 'sun' by accumulating the value of the Milky Way White Flower. That enormous energy catalyzed his life process, and he made great strides forward on the path of Chimera.

This is similar to how Kevin also needs to eat certain foods to replenish his strength; the Herrscher core and Chi You restored a certain amount of his power.

Fang Jie possesses a power lineage similar to Kevin's, a database he obtained from the Will of Honkai, which he then incorporated into his own understanding and recreated, making it seem plausible but ultimately flawed.

It was a posture that Walter was quite familiar with, and he was pioneering the path that no one had yet trodden.

Miracle after miracle, the one Kevin so desperately hoped for, the bird that would fly even higher than him.

In the collapsed solar system, the 'Chimera Project' alone, which only he could withstand, was a miracle that the Moth of Fire could never replicate again, let alone the 'Salvation'... He didn't even know if that future existed or when it would arrive, and he was determined to bear the burden of the world alone.

Walter had witnessed the story that transcended Kevin, and Fang Jie also knew about it. They had both embarked on the path of exploration. Fang Jie didn't know what great treasure Walter was secretly hiding, but he resolutely inherited and carried forward everything he knew.

The flames froze here, not because everything was frozen, but because time and space froze. Fang Jie did not start with Parvati, but was closer to Alicia, starting with the power of the Herrscher, even though his power came from the path pioneered by Welt.

it's the same.

Xing and March 7th were crying and wailing outside that area, since they had nothing better to do.

Under their watchful eyes, the path that brought together everything converged into a 'node,' so much so that the 'world' became as soft as mist before a body of this level, beginning to swirl and twist like a vortex.

The four people who observed him closely could hardly describe the feeling of being around him; they could only describe it.

In science fiction terms: it's like being faced with a vast ecosystem that is based on planets and uses family trees as basic units, and a humanoid communication device is projected from it to allow contact with organic life forms.

He is great enough, but through His physical body you can clearly see that behind Him is an even more magnificent and spectacular systemic power!

Heaven and man are one!

Fu Xuan sensed that concept, which was in line with the culture of the Immortal Boat, and the celestial beings who coexisted with the Jianmu tree... Yes, although she was not tall and not very conspicuous, she was indeed the fourth person.

Anyway, what are you doing connecting to Jianmu?

She even reached a realm that the Immortal Ship people would never dare to touch, and Dan Shu, whom she had just defeated not long ago... no, she was even more powerful than her, and her skills were far superior to those of ordinary Medicine King secrets. Fang Jie only used Jianmu as one of the materials.

He also added Suiyang!

Since the Suihuang faction firmly believed that the sun could also become a god, and spread this belief throughout the Milky Way, the years outside the prison of the Immortal Ship have become almost invisible.

I wonder if they were captured by those crazy guys in the Milky Way and used for experiments.

In short, he added Da Sui Yang.

The intertwining of spirit and flesh, and the fulfillment of one's own will, converge here.

Countless vines, octopus tentacles, sea snakes, beast claws... appearing and disappearing like illusions, finally converging into the shape of a hand, reaching out from some indescribable realm. Countless strange biological tissues emerged from all directions and converged, illusoryly entwining the arm's aftermath, or weaving its aftermath.

Cracks opening up to the outside world revealed numerous eyeballs of all sizes.

Hands, all kinds of hands.

Eyes, all kinds of eyes.

Fang Jie's face appeared right in front of Fu Xuan, and then he smiled.

"Haha, hahaha, hahahaha, hahahahahahaha—"

His laughter was strange and clear, like a newborn baby who doesn't cry but laughs.

Stop crying, then you can give birth again!

More bizarre phantom life forms surged forth like a flood, appearing and disappearing within the vast system connected to him.

Honkai Beasts have appeared: Assault Class, Chariot Class, Temple Class, Honkai Emperor, High-Rank Honkai Beasts...

Galactic-specific monsters have also appeared, along with bountiful creatures, celestial beasts created from divine ships, and demonic golden branches...

Of course, what appears more often are food, water, soil, and minerals...

However, they are too common and therefore not taken seriously.

It's practically a picture of hell. The stars of the underworld and the seventh day of the third month are not wrong at all, but it is also inexplicably sacred.

Under the shaping of will, they came together to form Fang Jie's new body.

Calling it immortal is an exaggeration. Even though the immortal god that Huanlong is currently savoring and shaping will die when it is supposed to, it does possess the vitality of a galactic grunt. It is a robust expression of life and is everything that Fang Jie has preyed on so far.

Living things are made up of food.

If crayfish are fed mackerel for a long period of time, their shells will turn blue.

The toxins in pufferfish are not present in their bodies from birth, but rather accumulate in their internal organs due to long-term consumption of plankton.

The same applies to humans; you are what you eat.

Of course, there are limits. Eating more fish and shellfish won't make you a good swimmer, and eating more chicken won't teach you to fly—chickens themselves have almost forgotten how to fly.

Even so, everything we eat, whether it's plant or animal, living or not, becomes part of our life, and most of the time it becomes energy.

Sometimes it also adds vague and ethereal concepts.

For example, eating gold leaf will make one luxurious.

Even though it has no taste and is difficult to digest, the act of eating gives life a new part; it is another way of 'contacting' existence, even though it involves eating.

Food life, food culture, balanced nutrition, protein, sweetness, fruit, desserts, carbonated drinks, alcohol, fermented foods, picky eating, dried goods, weight loss, sugar-free, hunting, fishing, vegetarianism, seasonings, sugar, salt, vinegar, soy sauce, miso, space food...

Cannibalism.

Human beings are just like that.

Our genes have ingrained the idea that we cannot survive without eating other organisms.

I'll die if I don't eat.

In some worlds, beings that can eat anything are revered as 'gods', yet humans still devour these gods. So this isn't about redefining humanity, but rather about exploring the possibilities for humankind.

Through this 'ritual' of eating.

The phrase "May all sentient beings obtain what they desire" cannot avoid the fact that life is always plundering and feeding on negative entropy.

Acknowledge it, accept it, and...

Make it look more beautiful.

In other words, it's a picky eater's mentality, or a love of food.

Metaphysical concepts are always infinite, while physical expressions are finite; their intersection is where this becomes apparent.

With a sound like shattering glass, the part of Fang Jie's body other than his face and hands emerged from the darkness. It was impossible to describe what was broken, because it was not something that could be 'seen'.

Being invisible does not mean that the object is completely transparent or pitch black. It is not a matter of color or light; it is 'non-existence' or 'nothingness'.

He created something from nothing.

Like a chain reaction, the primordial spirit that had been outside the physical body returned to its place and merged into this fully emerged body, becoming one with it.

Sit-ups, great success!

"Hahaha, celebrate, the most benevolent, the most virtuous, the most supreme, the most powerful me... Embrace the beauty of humanity that transcends everything, the path that predecessors have not yet trod, pork sashimi."

He laughed arrogantly, protecting and reinforcing his belief in being 'invincible'.

Even a dignified envoy is nothing more than this. Huanlong returned in defeat, eager to eat fruit, fearing that Jingyuan would realize what was happening and intercept her, leaving her empty-handed.

Indeed, one who is without desires is invincible.

March 7th thought he might have misheard: "You said domestic pigs, right?"

"And sashimi!"

Xing also heard it; the synesthetic beacon doesn't have any puns, it's just a Sino joke.

"You misheard me. I said the path of pioneering, thus ascending to a new stage."

Fang Jie turned back and stubbornly denied it.

Compared to his previous imposing figure, muscular and handsome, propelled by the Milky Way's white flowers, he now appears completely normal. His demonic horns, tail, and wings have all vanished beneath the outline of a 'human.' This is not the form of a demon, but rather the tail and wings that Fang Jie once dreamed of.

Put it away, so that the Star Core Spirit won't have a chance to touch it out of curiosity!
