Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

Chapter 169 Civilization, Leap Forward!

Welcome to the world of Honkai.

Thus it was said by the Abyss Order.

Su Chen raised his head and looked at the giant tree's floating shadow. Then he took in the surrounding situation. This place did not belong to Teyvat, but it was not in the Abyss either. No wonder he could not sense the existence of the Abyss Order from the Abyss before.

If it weren't for his nearly month-long understanding of the internal order of the abyss, he wouldn't have been able to discover this place.

"You've been staying here the whole time?"

As Su Chen spoke, his soul reconnected with the Abyss Order.

The latter did not stop it.

Or rather, 'he' did not stop it.

Although his soul was split in two, Su Chen still had complete control over the soul. Even if the Abyss Order didn't want to, it was useless. But what puzzled him was that the will of the Abyss had a new idea. It was hiding here alone and obviously didn't intend to be absorbed by him.

Then why do nothing now?

Su Chen looked at the tree again.

“I’ve always been here,” said Abyss Order. “Ever since I figured it out.”

"What have you figured out?"

"I want to understand, why should I willingly cower on the back of the world, waiting for the fate of merging with you thousands of years later?" Abyss Order spoke calmly, its expression equally serene. "I am also Su Chen, I am also Fanes, I am also...you, so why can't it be you who is merged with me?"

They have the same appearance, the same voice and tone, and even the same thoughts—absorbing each other to become the complete 'Su Chen'.

"Yes, I can understand that feeling." Su Chen nodded slightly. "You just said that this is a broken world?"

The Abyss Order did not answer, but instead said, "The most basic order in this world is competition. The universe is a giant crucible, and only those who pass the test are qualified to survive... This applies to people, and it applies to the world as well."

"See this tree? You should be familiar with it, right? I spent a thousand years creating it. The order that exists on it surpasses all civilizations, including Teyvat. In this respect, I have gone further than you on the path of order."

Su Chen asked, "What do you intend to do with this thing?"

"The world belongs to Honkai!" Abyss Order declared in a maniacal voice. "Competition is the selection of those who are qualified to survive, and this method is Honkai. It will be born in all civilizations and will never die. So-called order is nothing more than struggling to survive under Honkai."

"Fanes, believe it or not, the entire universe is heading towards chaotic collapse, just like this..."

The Abyss Order reached out and touched the floating shadow of the giant tree.

In an instant, time seemed to fly by. The leaves on the giant tree grew, withered, and fell at a speed visible to the naked eye. The withered leaves fell into the ocean, and the seawater began to surge wildly, emitting roaring waves.

This process continued and accelerated until the giant tree began to tremble, the sea began to violently churn, and finally the reflection of the giant tree exploded with a loud bang. The entire tree's branches began to collapse and disintegrate from the inside out, turning into dust that scattered and fell into the sea.

Boom!

The tides surge and everything returns to nothingness.

"Do you see that?" The Abyss Order spread its hands toward Su Chen. "That's how the universe is. At the end of time, all order will collapse, and Teyvat, which you cherish, is no exception."

Su Chen suddenly realized: "So, you spent a thousand years creating a set of blocks, which eventually collapsed, and then you concluded that the world is not flat?"

Abyss Order frowned: "Have you even seriously considered what I said?"

Su Chen cursed, "I want to fucking smash my head against a wall and die! What the hell? How did such an idiot like you get separated from my soul? I can't believe I'm this stupid!"

Abyss Order: "..."

He's talking about the laws of the world, what the hell is this "building blocks" nonsense?

Although Su Chen split off his soul power at that time, his consciousness was still in the Heavenly Principles and Order. Simply put, he used his soul power to create an empty shell of the Abyss Will, but the dominant consciousness was still Su Chen.

But now a new consciousness has emerged from this empty shell.

In fact, the emergence of a new consciousness is not surprising. Su Chen had anticipated that such a thing would happen, but he did not expect that this consciousness would grow so quickly. In just a few thousand years, it had already gone from the Teyvat Order to the Big Bang.

Not only that, he even built his own model to verify it, truly taking the word 'rigor' to the extreme.

This is probably related to the power of the abyss. After all, Su Chen's soul is only a vessel, and the power it carries is the power of the abyss, which comes from the collapse outside the world. This power has a great influence on the Abyss Order itself. His soul merged with the power of the abyss, creating the birth of the current Abyss Order.

"Forget it, I didn't come here to see your so-called millennium achievements." Su Chen waved his hand. "To be honest, I don't care at all what will happen to the universe. Whether the universe explodes or collapses, it has nothing to do with me. I just want to live a peaceful life. If I really encounter such a disaster, I will fight with all my might, and I will accept whatever happens in the end."

"Heh~ So this is you, just as I expected." Abyss Order smirked. "I've imagined our reunion countless times, and sure enough, this is what you would say. So I was prepared before you came here."

"You think that having control over the soul can completely erase my existence? My will has already merged with the power of the Honkai. As long as the Abyss exists, I will not perish. You can forcibly merge with me, but... do you dare?"

Abyss Order spoke with confidence, having made thorough preparations. Once Su Chen retrieved the soul, the collapsed will would also be integrated into Heavenly Principles Order. At that time, it wouldn't just be this clone that would be affected, but Su Chen's main body.

After all, the will to collapse is born from chaos and destruction. Unless Su Chen achieves a high level of success in the path of order, he will be able to suppress this influence.

But is that possible?

Even if they have potential, they will probably be assimilated by the Abyss Order before they even reach that level.

"Ah, I see." Su Chen suddenly realized. "So that's why you don't intend to hide yourself."

Abyss Order smiled faintly: "That's right."

"Then why tell me? If I didn't say anything, wouldn't your power affect me after I merge with you?" Su Chen stroked his chin. "So this is the standard tactic of all major villains: revealing their abilities to the protagonist without reservation, and then waiting to get beaten up?"

The Abyss Order confidently declared, "I am different from those guys, Fanes. You have no choice. The war between the Abyss and the Heavenly Principle has begun. If you do not merge with me, the power of the Abyss will grow at all times and one day it will be able to suppress the Heavenly Principle. If you choose to merge, you will become another 'me'. So no matter what you choose, Teyvat's fate is only one: destruction!"

"Is destruction all there is...? What does destruction mean to you?"

"Meaning? Hahahaha! Would you ever consider the meaning of eating bread for breakfast every day? If you're really looking for an answer, then let me tell you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Abyss Order stepped out of this space.

...

Boom~~

The fierce battle continues deep within the abyss.

Although Asmodeus has left, the remaining members are still incredibly powerful. Zhongli, who is teaming up with Rota, goes without saying. The five Ascended, unaffected by the will of the abyss, have become the main force on the battlefield. Nasus and Aatrox are even approaching the level of the rulers.

"How can he be so strong?!"

August became increasingly alarmed as he fought.

He had thought that only Asmodeus was a threat, but he was naive. Although the power of the natural order had weakened, Shurima's rise was not dependent on the natural order. He had known this for a long time, but he did not expect it to be so outrageous.

"No wonder Azir was able to fight against Asmodeus back then... Damn it, those lunatics from Shurima, instead of defying the laws of nature, they come to the abyss to cause trouble!" August cursed inwardly.

In the blink of an eye, a terrifying bolt of lightning struck, and Wu Xiang's powerful slash cleaved the abyss space in two, heading straight for August.

"Humph!"

The black dragon snorted coldly and spat out a wave of light, but before it could succeed, it was struck on the forehead by the Dragon King Ruotu's tail whip, making its head see stars. Then, Wuxiang brought down his sword and cut it down from the sky.

boom!

The dragon's body crashed into the mountains, raising clouds of dust. Its hundreds-of-meters-long body was terrifying to behold, and its black scales were as hard as the hardest rock. Yet, when it was struck head-on by a blade, its scales suddenly split open, revealing a large wound from which a large amount of black blood gushed out.

This strike was the result of Shadow's accumulated wisdom and understanding of eternity, breaking through his limitations to become the supreme Thunder General. It was originally intended to cut down Kadodia.

"Asshole!!"

August roared in fury.

Rolling black lightning ripped through the sky and earth, crushing mountains and boulders.

"This situation is not good."

In the sky, Skykirk faced the combined attack of Nasus and Renekton alone. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw August lying on the ground like a dead dog, and a bad feeling immediately welled up in her heart.

The battle turned out completely unexpectedly. They thought that with the departure of the strongest, Asmodeus, they would have a great opportunity to weaken the power of Heavenly Principle, but unexpectedly, the battle ended in a draw.

Without Asmodeus, and yet, this group fought them to a draw, can you believe it?

"Not only have the power of the Rock God and the Thunder God increased, but the strength of these ascended beings is also far beyond what we knew. What's going on?"

While responding to the battle, Skirk pondered, her brow furrowed, her gaze sweeping across the surroundings, lingering for a moment on an orange-haired figure engaged in fierce combat.

"Where are you looking?"

A deep voice sounded.

Nasus, now a giant with a human body and a wolf's head, swung his scepter, which emitted a blinding light, down fiercely at Skirk.

boom!

The scepter shattered the protective barrier on Skykirk's surface, and her body plummeted from the sky like a cannonball, creating a huge crater.

"Hey! Teacher! Please don't hit my teacher!"

The young master rushed to Skirk's side and asked with concern, "Teacher, are you alright?"

“You’re truly my good apprentice.” Skorp brushed the dust off his clothes. “You’re the first person to bring others to attack their teacher.”

"Ah... I didn't expect Brother Su Chen to be here to attack the Abyss." The young master chuckled awkwardly. His current situation was also quite delicate. From a standpoint of support, he was definitely on the side of the gods, but Skykirk was his teacher, and out of personal feelings, he didn't want anything to happen to Skykirk.

Even if he had reservations, as a warrior, he wouldn't stay behind once he was on the battlefield. Su Chen was the Winter Ruler, representing the Empress's will in the outside world. If Su Chen said to attack the Abyss, then he had to listen.

What? He's not very useful?

How could that be? Didn't you see how many abyssal monsters he cleared out?

"Su Chen?" Socrates is here too?

Skirk was taken aback, finally realizing that this time it was indeed not so simple, but before she could take any action, the sky over the entire Abyss was suddenly shrouded in dark clouds and dimmed.

"Ok?"

"That is..."

"He has awakened!"

An immense will descended, and at that moment, the power of the entire Abyss became exceptionally active. Wherever the will descended, all the monsters were greatly strengthened.

August and the others looked up, sensing the will contained within the dark clouds, and their eyes shone with fanaticism.

"This is bad." King Ruoduo also raised his head and said in a deep voice, "The most terrifying being in the abyss has appeared, Morax. Is the Human Emperor really confident?"

Zhongli remained silent, his eyes filled with solemnity.

Roar! ! !

Renekton's body surged with crimson, and without thinking twice, he hurled the axe blade into the sky with all his might. The giant axe sliced ​​across the sky and disappeared into the dark clouds, and then... there was no further reaction.

The crocodile was taken aback.

"careful!"
