Chapter Seventy: The Birth of Xin Yan
"Hua~ You're so handsome~"
Alicia hugged Hua tightly, leaving the bewildered honest man even more at a loss.
For Alicia, what could be more gratifying than seeing yet another human wield the power of a Herrscher?
Moreover, it was Hua, her trusted partner and good companion.
However, even though that's what she said, Alicia could tell that the person in the picture wasn't Hua, whom she knew.
The "Fu Hua" in the picture is completely opposite to the calm, honest and taciturn person she usually is; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they are two completely different people.
If that's Fu Hua, it's really hard to imagine what kind of event could have caused her to become like this.
Her mental state is just too beautiful.
They would believe it if you said it was someone else who looked almost exactly like Fu Hua.
but……
Is it an isotope?
Not really.
The heroes could sense that the person in the picture was not someone like Mei or Dr. Mei.
That person's body was indeed that of their partner Hua, only... there was a fundamental difference in their souls.
"Hmm... It's the same body, yet it has the soul of a Herrscher."
Mebius was most interested in biological issues, especially the extremely novel questions concerning the Herrscher and the Honkai.
She stared intently at the "Black Tiger Afu" on the screen, and then at Hua beside her.
Although the current version of the chip is just a memory chip and has limited use in reference, it's better than nothing.
For a top scientist like Möbius, this specific point of reference was enough for her to draw conclusions and analyze what was happening in the image.
Mebius's snake-like eyes reflected the figures of Hua and Black Tiger Afu, and after comparing them back and forth, he revealed...
"Oh, I see..."
"Does that mean it wasn't Hua who became the Lawyer, but rather the Lawyer who became Hua?"
……
"Ok??"
Mebius's answer made even the most knowledgeable and accomplished men raise their eyebrows; this was the first time they had ever heard of such a situation.
In their civilization, the arrival of the Herrscher signified a natural disaster. It was always the Herrscher who controlled humanity, and the Honkai consciousness that caused humanity to fall.
The idea that "the lawmen have become Chinese" as described by Mebius is simply absurd.
"If it were the real Hua, after ten thousand years of accumulation, the memories she gathered from her ten thousand years of journey would indeed possess this ability."
Upon hearing Mebius's statement, the heroes vaguely understood what was going on.
The "Lawyer of Knowledge" was not unfamiliar to them; they were old adversaries they had faced before.
"Able to modify human consciousness," as its name suggests, implies that the power of the Lawgiver of Consciousness is related to consciousness.
If the newly born Herrscher of Consciousness were to be born in Hua's body, then the memories accumulated over ten thousand years would be the most terrifying power for the Herrscher of Consciousness.
Hua, codenamed "Floating Life," is indeed the strongest she has become after the passage of time.
Although the Herrscher of Knowledge in the picture is mad and evil, and his power is terrifyingly outrageous, he does not seem to have any malice towards humans.
On the contrary, the heroes even saw the Herrscher of Knowledge in the scene laughing maniacally and shouting out a consciousness of resistance against the Honkai.
Their passion for resisting the Honkai is comparable to that of these heroes who personally experienced the pain of the Honkai's destruction of the civilization era.
This extraordinary and intense passion for fighting the Honkai is hard to imagine, as the figure in the image is a Herrscher, a synonym for the Honkai that was originally created to destroy humanity.
Could it be said that... Hua, from that civilization era, crushed the Herald of Knowledge without bloodshed simply by the weight of the time she traversed, turning her into one of humanity's allies?
"Hua, you're so amazing! I love you even more now!"
Alicia realized that there was such an unconventional way for Herrschers to become partners, and she hugged Hua even tighter with joy!
It's not that the Herrscher retains humanity because of her powers, but rather that Hua "tames" the Herrscher in her own way, which is simply amazing!
"Alicia..."
Faced with Alicia's praise and enthusiasm, Hua blushed slightly and didn't know how to respond.
She was also very pleased with her real self, who had once been powerless but now had the strength to protect what she cherished.
……
In fact, Gretchen had already depicted what she saw on her canvas before Möbius—
A plump, snow-white hen with red feathers on her head stands as steady as a mountain. Although she is old, she is not frail. The vicissitudes of life revealed in her steady body further demonstrate her composure, making her a symbol of reliability.
It's obvious that this big mother hen is Gretchen's real-life counterpart, Hua, the companion she sees in her eyes.
Beside Hua Ji followed a small black chick, clearly newly hatched and still fledging. Though young, it possessed a fierce demeanor, piercing eyes, and a beak gleaming with aggression.
It's obvious that this is the seemingly "glorious" Herrscher in the light screen.
Gretchen's paintings clearly indicate that the Herald of Knowledge was born in Hua, and although it possesses the power of the Herald, a large part of its composition is inherited from Hua.
……
Compared to the group who were studying the relationship between Hua and that Herrscher, Qian Jie clenched his fists, and the flames of his fighting spirit suddenly erupted!
His fist slammed into Hua beside him, and his ferocious laughter echoed in the conference room!
"Alright! Alright! Herrscher, now let's fight to the death!"
For Hua, who was merely a memory within the Golden Garden, her strength hadn't grown much since she hadn't experienced the same ups and downs as her real self.
She was still too young to face Qian Jie, so Hua had no intention of fighting him.
"Qian Jie, please calm down. I am not a Herrscher yet."
Alicia also helped Hua block Qianjie's fiery punches from this madman-like warmonger.
"Alright, alright, Qianjie, if you really want to fight, I'll join you later~"
"Humph……"
Seeing Alicia protect Hua, Qianjie snorted and dispelled the flames on his fist, ignoring Alicia's words.
Watching Qian Jie leave dejectedly, a thought suddenly arose in Hua's mind—
Although she didn't understand the "herself" in the picture, Hua had a strange feeling in her heart:
If it were "oneself" in the picture, they would probably be quite enthusiastic about engaging in an unprecedented battle with Qian Jie.
However, based on Hua's understanding of Qianjie's strength, the final outcome will probably be that after Qianjie has had his fun, "she" will be torn apart by Qianjie's bare hands.
Is the Herrscher of Consciousness born within her body really that warlike?
Like a naive little child, full of childlike innocence...

While Hua felt something strange in the Golden Courtyard, the continent of Teyvat and Mondstadt...
Fischl, who was touring with her retinue Oz, was captivated by the dazzling techniques of the Herrscher of Knowledge when she saw the light screen.
"What a handsome man! His voice sounds just like mine. Could he be my alter ego from another world?"
The cool chains and the scene of crushing a ball in the palm of your hand were exactly what Fischl liked!
Moreover, that wild and cool evil laugh made Fischl feel that he had met his match!
"Hmph, this princess admits that you do have some good looks, and your moves are quite stylish."
"But if it is my ultimate move, called the Great Myriad Manifestations Mad Judgment Eye! How would you deal with it!"
Oz was already used to his master's chuunibyou (delusional) behavior, and silently typed a few ellipses to indicate his agreement.
"..."

………………
Inside St. Freya Academy, Kiana, who had almost failed to distinguish between the Herrscher of Knowledge and Fu Hua, finally realized what was wrong with the Herrscher of Knowledge in the scene.
The Herrscher of Knowledge in the picture, who is both mad and wicked, has the same face and figure as Fu Hua, but their temperaments are completely different.
Although they share the same passion for fighting against Honkai, one is essentially a Herrscher and the other is essentially human—this is the most unchangeable difference.
Fu Hua also recognized that it was not herself, but a Herrscher in her body.
Where did the real her go...? Fu Hua can't really say, but with Yu Du Chen around, she probably won't die so easily.
As for the Herrscher of Consciousness becoming like herself, shouting about the passion to resist the Honkai, Fu Hua guessed it was because of the will to resist the Honkai that had accumulated in her heart for thousands of years.
Even the Herrscher of Knowledge, impacted by her ten thousand years of memories, became a warrior against the Honkai.
This made Fu Hua feel very gratified, as if all her past experiences had been worthwhile.
………………
………………
Otto at Schicksal headquarters stared at "Fu Hua" on the light screen with a strange look in his eyes.
"An old friend has become the Herrscher of Knowledge... No, is it the Herrscher of Knowledge who has become an old friend?"
Although Otto was also somewhat surprised by the image of the Herrscher of Knowledge, he quickly realized what was going on.
Fu Hua is the Crimson Iris Immortal who has protected China for a thousand years. The time she has spent over these thousand years is enough to prove how strong her will to fight against the Honkai is.
That was someone even older than him, a five-hundred-year-old fellow. Otto couldn't even say how much time Fu Hua had lived through a thousand years ago in Shenzhou.
It's not surprising that a mere Herrscher would be defeated by Fu Hua's memories.
However, witnessing firsthand that the "Crimson Iris Immortal" from Shenzhou had his body replaced by the Herrscher of Knowledge was still a bit...
