Collapse, survive

—Alicia!

Fate is meant to be broken!

Aponia's inability to observe the future is not because she is blind, but because he comes from outside of fate.

"Prediction, you could say that, but it's still different."

Fang Jie really liked Aponia's voice; it was probably a pleasant voice similar to that of someone with the power of words. He had also been captivated by Kafka's voice.

"It's different from predicting the future. What I have is closer to... well, the innate intelligence advantage of a savior, a savior of light."

Gazing at the church, which resembled the West Wind Cathedral, Fang explained the names they didn't yet understand.

It doesn't matter, you'll all have to get involved sooner or later.

If Fang Jie absorbs another Herrscher-level Honkai energy, he will open the 'Dark Forbidden Zone' represented by the white-haired Kiana. Kafka even predicted that his character would be shattered, causing him to slow down the process.

Fang Jie then intensified his efforts to find reliable partners.

"He sounds like a very great person."

"Yes, it was great. In a world that had been continuously fighting against more than seventy Herrschers, it once became the savior of the end."

"There's such a world?"

Mebius was still pretending to be dead with Vervie, but obviously, her excessive curiosity made it impossible for her to keep up the act.

She immediately understood the numerical expansion of the solution; without expansion, it could not survive.

"So that's why you brought about change to the Paradise of the Past and to this world?"

Aponia ignored Mebius's interruption.

She offered her hands, which Fang Jie held in his, continuously absorbing the 'nothingness' that had infected her through her observations.

Su was on the verge of death, relying on indirect methods and the attrition of her own will.

As for Aponia, she belongs to the type who relies on willpower to delve deeper and see more, thus becoming more tainted by 'nothingness'.

If the collapsing solar system hadn't severed her destiny, she might have already fallen into nothingness. Only now has she broken free of the original form of connecting with the imaginary power, guiding and engulfing it.

This process was no less arduous than scraping the bone to remove poison, but Aponia remained calm throughout.

Fang Jie gripped those hands tightly: "That's not entirely the reason. It's true that I need companions to go to that world, but your world is equally precious and unique. I'm glad to have met you."

Mebius, who was being ignored, pursed his lips and continued to observe everything Fang Jie revealed during the process.

Beyond the cocoon's barrier, everything connecting to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers filled her with curiosity and excitement.

Unfortunately, as a memory entity, she couldn't even break through everything in her past paradise.

Fortunately, times have changed, and she can be herself again, the real Möbius—the past me, who experienced failure, betrayal, and lost everything; but now, ha ha ha, I will control everything! This is the complete Möbius, the complete Infinite Serpent, the complete me!

The background music (BGM) has an unclear meaning.

"This is also our good fortune, Fang Jie. I must apologize to you again for doing so many offensive things without permission, and for causing my friends to offend you as well."

Clearly, Mebius and Vervière's eagerness to act was not solely based on their own reasons.

Aponia believes they were accomplices for her own sake.

"I forgive you. In fact, look at them, do they feel sorry? That's not just shameless, their personalities are inhuman."

Fang Jie examined the nothingness that had stained Aponia's body. The description of scraping the bone to remove the poison was not an exaggeration at all. It was even more tragic than being corroded. Her body had a lot of symmetrical defects, which was the result of Fang Jie filling them with his own material after swallowing nothingness and parts of Aponia herself.

This is the price, just as becoming a Fusion Warrior by relying on Honkai comes with a price, and now becoming a 'False Commander' by relying on the power of destiny shared by Fang Jie.

To use an analogy, it's like a chaotic entity.

It has the power to destroy all things, and it can also evolve all things; it is a constitution that the world favors.

Not only will they not be suppressed by the laws of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, but they will also follow the myriad paths. They only need to cultivate normally and will not perish along the way. Even if there are already Great Emperors in the world, they will surely become Great Emperors.

The Holy Body Kevin of the previous civilization only developed himself to the level of 'Karma Demon', achieving an alternative path to enlightenment capable of fighting the Supreme Being, yet he was defeated in front of the contemporary Emperor, the End.

After 50,000 years of trials in the mortal world, his world-saving posture of integrating all things into one allowed him to forcefully traverse all paths, seize the 'Heavenly Heart,' and possess power comparable to the end.

Then they were suppressed by the Qi Tian Emperor, who reigned supreme for a lifetime.

Collapse of Heaven, a grand serialized novel!

In short, the fusion of myriad paths, the integration of myriad bloodlines, and the devouring of the origins of various special physiques are all ways to create unique skills, and Fang Jie is one of them.

At this moment, he shared it, and not only did Mebius and Vervien taste the benefits, but Aponia also felt this part of herself 'reborn', and her tone became relaxed.

There's no going back now that things have come to this.

"Do you also think they are no longer human? But in my opinion, the light of humanity has always been shining on us, and on you."

I'm not a Herrscher, thank you for coming.

She revealed a less gloomy expression; it was a smile, Aponia's smile.

Fang Jie felt relieved: "Of course, I'm full of humanity, comparable to Kosmo. But I don't like little girls. Don't misunderstand me because of Mebius hanging on to me like this, I don't like it at all."

As he spoke, he stretched his body, and he had been relieving Aponia's condition through the snake, a scene comparable to breaking a curse on the body, but she was standing in the middle.

Damn it!

Mebius, you're shameless! You can ignore me even with me pressing against you?

And then there's Vilvi, languidly exuding a voluptuous charm. Although she did nothing and said nothing, was Fang Jie supposed to ignore her constantly pressing against him?

Those two old guys are really going too far.

"Kosmo wouldn't like little girls either."

Aponia said seriously.

Fang Jie, dedicated to corrupting Kosmo's reputation, commented: "Really? That's what Gretsch told Mei."

"..."

Aponia lowered her eyes: "Ah, I'm not good at these kinds of topics. Jokes and stuff are far, far away from me. But Mei, what kind of person is that Herrscher who arrived in the Land of the Dead as a successor? I'm very curious, will she bring good or bad to the future of the Land of the Dead?"

"It's probably alright. Although there's some regret and sorrow, another tragedy of erosion, the entire paradise, with Alicia's blessings and wishes, entrusts everything to the new era and finally crosses the end."

Fang Jie offered a fair assessment of that future and expressed his grief over the passing of the paradise of the past.

That despicable Herrscher of Corruption!

Aponia grasped Fang Jieshi's hand again, not physically breaking the curse.

Like Möbius and Vervière, she felt his presence.

"What gentle hands! I can feel your firmness, determination, and deep sadness, loneliness, hesitation and helplessness."

Your arrival brings new life to the paradise of the past, for you witnessed its destruction, its descent into rubble. I obviously tried to stop it, even at the cost of killing Raiden Mei, but in the end…

How brilliant is Alicia's will! Besides, I can't think of any way to stop the future I see, a future that clearly doesn't include you.

Having seen a lot about the future, Aponia is very good at making these kinds of deductions.

Fang Jie's arrival led to two completely different interpretations of the situation: one is that it resurfaces in memory over time; the other is that it develops in reality as he moves forward.

"Now, if you want to move on, please follow me."

Holding Fang Jie's hand tightly, Aponia showed him the portal to the deepest depths.

That's herself.

Just as Fang Jie's own human outline connects to a vast life system, and even to a 'world'.

Aponia is the closest thing to Him in the Pure Land of the Past, and it has become the world itself, which is the Pure Land of the Past.

If it weren't for Mebius's interference, Fang Jie might have met Aponia first...

At this moment, she, who was 'corrupted' by Fang Jie, was radiating a golden light, like the sun, a soul radiance comparable to that of celestial bodies.

Long ago, Aponia performed a major operation on herself, elevating her life form by utilizing the Honkai and her own special talents.

After that, she became the strongest psychic-sensory fusion warrior.

Later, as she merged herself into the Paradise of the Past, as one of the few among the Thirteen Heroes of the Fire Chaser who still possessed a 'physical body,' the deepest place where Aponia resided was also the most polluted after the observation method was solved, and became a material shackle that sealed off the spread of pollution.

In other words, Fang Jie's physical liberation from the curse needs to go a step further.

That would be no less than destroying Aponia's physical body contained in the Land of the Dead, and instantly resurrecting her as a living being, like a kin.

Aponia, in this state, was destined to leave with Fang Jie until she was certain of her own harmlessness.

But it didn't really matter. In Vervier's view, Fang Jie had come with the intention of taking the entire Paradise of the Past. Möbius felt that he wanted to take everything and look at Walter, who was losing hair all the time and dying suddenly every time.

Mebius saw a future where everyone was a Klein.

Because he is kind!

Fang Jie then took off Möbius and threw it in the church; he also threw the Vervies off and onto Möbius.

He refused to accept the slander and followed Aponia, plunging into her all-encompassing embrace, where the deepest, darkest passages opened for him.

This is a very dark and long road.

Aponia guides Fang Jie into the procession, preparing him to welcome a new life, no less significant than that of a newborn being transformed into a dragon by a magical technique.

And from this day forward, she and they will traverse the sea of ​​stars.

……

……

"Ugh, I'm so angry!"

Super invincible little March, super angry.

"March, you lost."

Dan Heng remained unmoved, helping Xing with her daily mobile game tasks while simultaneously devouring her queen.

Yes, they are playing chess.

"I still have so many pieces, how did I lose?"

Xiao Sanyue continued playing chess angrily, while Danheng remained silent.

as long as you are happy.

Her reason for being angry was quite simple: it was one thing for Xing to go to the Black Tower Space Station to test the simulated universe, but Fang Jie also went to Uncle Yang's hometown for some unknown reason.

But then, he actually pulled Xing over there!

Why not bring yourself?

You guys secretly went to play together without me? Am I dead? Or am I asleep? Don't leave me alone in this cold room!

"Take this—!"

She finally captured another of Danheng's pieces, achieving a great victory.

Dan Heng didn't frown at this divine hand that was comparable to printing cards on the spot and breaking the rules. He just comforted the unhappy Xiao Sanyue: "Sanyue, you don't need to be anxious. I believe Fang Jie will soon come up with a way to take you to play. Mr. Walter also cares about this matter."

"That's true, after all, it's Uncle Yang's hometown. But the times are different now, which is quite strange. It's interesting to think about."

Dan Heng didn't want to say that Walter's expression wasn't very interesting.

But changing the past...

Well, the anonymous guest is knowledgeable and experienced, so this is not something he cannot understand.

Perhaps in the future, we will encounter similar worlds again, and we can explore them further.

March's irritation dissipated, and she quickly cheered up again: "Hey, Danheng, have you heard? Our next stop is Pinocchio. I heard it's a beautiful world like a dream... I'm so excited!"

"Yes, I'll stay on the train then."

Dan Heng wasn't really looking forward to it, since he had a lot of past troubles that needed time to resolve, so he decided to go into seclusion for a while.

In fact, after [Luofu], he had been reflecting and thinking, a process that was very mentally taxing.

"That's really reliable, but Pam said there's still a long time before the meeting time on the invitation. What should I do to kill time... Damn it, Fang Jie has his own place, Xing has his own place, and they can even hook up together, leaving me, Xiao Sanyue, all alone... What's that sound?"

My phone rang; it was a group chat.

Danheng held Xing's phone and saw the message that had been sent.

Bronya: Dear crew members, can you see my message? I'm currently pushing forward with preparations for the Sunrise Festival. The Sunrise Festival is a traditional festival in Belloberg, but due to the rift and lockdown, regular celebrations have been suspended for many years, and the people of Belloberg haven't experienced a lively festive atmosphere in a long time. If any of you on the Starry Sky Train have the time, I would like to invite you to attend the Sunrise Festival celebrations and witness the progress of the Belloberg revitalization plan.

"It's Bronya! She invited us to Belloborg for the Sun Festival—yay, Bronya, I've missed you all so much!"
