Chat group: People are in the sandbox, the system just ran away

"…………"

After Li Xuan said this, Walter Yang was a little stuck. Indeed, as a rule of law, his scientific literacy was quite good. The Earth was one of the trillions of planets in the Milky Way, and there were countless galaxies in the universe, and there were countless universes on the Imaginary Number Tree. In comparison, it was indeed ridiculous to say that the Imaginary Number Tree was testing the Earth's civilization.

"So, our initial speculation at Anti-Entropy was correct, that the Collapse was just a natural disaster, and that the people of the previous civilization were wrong? But there's plenty of evidence to support the previous civilization's speculation. The Herrschers don't look like they could have been born from a natural disaster. Even if it was a radiation mutation, it's impossible for two eras to be exactly the same."

Walter Yang was a little confused. Anti-Entropy certainly didn't believe the data of the previous civilization from the beginning, but had found a lot of evidence to verify the result. Now it was overturned by Walter Yang.

"Although I don't know much, I've heard Mei say before that the Herrscher's birth was indeed not a natural occurrence. However, perhaps only Kevin truly understands the more detailed situation."

Although Fu Hua is also one of the Thirteen Heroes, she has actually always been regarded as a junior. As for the truth about the collapse, the only person in this world who truly knows it is Kevin, who was entrusted with the Stigmata Project.

"So, Walter Yang, you've clearly already come into contact with extraterrestrial civilization, so why are you still associating the collapse with the Tree of Imaginary Numbers? Generally speaking, people tend to associate the culprit with something more tangible, rather than something metaphysical."

"So, the culprit behind the collapse is aliens?"

Walter Yang was a little stunned. He had encountered an alien incident before, but he didn't expect that the collapse was also caused by aliens.

"What else? Since you've encountered aliens before, when you face the collapse, shouldn't you consider whether it's the aliens' fault?"

"But Honkai can be universal, and sometimes it does happen naturally."

"What you're saying is that the energy of stars like the sun exists naturally. Does the weapon made from it have any special connection with the sun?"

"But why would the aliens do this?"

Walter Yang was a little confused. What was the point of aliens creating collapse? For a civilization that could create collapse, everything on Earth should be meaningless to them.

"This is what the ancient civilization speculated when they discovered the Cocoon of the End, the root of the collapse. The fear of loneliness and the longing for others are bound to be universal across the universe. Deep in the starry sky, perhaps such a being exists. Like us, they are rooted in the planet and live from it, but unlike humans, they go one step further and completely merge with the planet. Their will pervades the earth, omnipresent, eternal, and there is no barrier between their hearts. If such a civilization truly exists, it would desperately yearn to embrace its own kind. The End is not a thing of Earth. It is a mechanism that controls fate, reincarnating human civilization over and over again, just to ensure that its creator can have others like him."

"Is that so?"

Walter Yang was silent, not knowing how to express his inner feelings.

"Of course, you should just listen to this statement. To come to this conclusion can only mean that the people of the previous civilization were too romantic, or too desperate, so they could only hope that the alien civilization came with good intentions, but this kind of good intentions is beyond human understanding. I don't think this is a correct statement at all."

Chapter 523: Furious Walter Yang

"Based on the actions of this alien civilization, can you really say they're coming with good intentions? Embracing their own kind? I feel like it's just a helpless act of comforting themselves when the gap between them is too great. To me, this is more like a social experiment, right? Just like those studies we use to observe the evolution of animal habits."

Li Xuan's speculation about the previous era was completely dismissive. He was always willing to assume the utmost malice from other civilizations. After all, the principle that those who are not of one's own kind must have different hearts held true. Civilizations in the universe were not always friendly; competition and cruelty were the dominant themes between races. While there were some kindhearted ones, they would never, like the civilization behind the Cocoon of the End, wantonly interfere with and transform other civilizations simply to achieve their own goals.

How can such behavior be considered benign? According to the people in the Honkai World, this alien race has brought advancement, freedom, and civilization? All I can say is that both Mandate of Heaven and Anti-Entropy are Western organizations after all, and their asses are ridiculously crooked. This whitewashing idea is truly disgusting.

"For this kind of guy, I always believe in tooth for tooth, blood for blood. Not some bullshit self-reflection. Can't understand the aliens' kindness? And still obey the aliens' ideas and implement the Stigma Project?" 517

"I understand that Earth civilization, due to its lack of strength, has no choice but to sacrifice the vast majority of its people, but please don't use this approach under the banner of righteousness. It's truly disgusting."

Li Xuan spoke out his thoughts in one breath. When he first played the game, he just felt that the game seemed a little crooked, but in reality, this kind of capitulationism really made Li Xuan unhappy.

It is one thing to have to choose this path because of lack of strength, but there is no need to boast about your own correctness. This path has never been the right thing to do, it is just a choice made out of helplessness.

Among the fusion warriors of the previous era, Kevin and Fu Hua should not have survived. It cannot be said that they were completely useless if they survived to the next era, but it can only be said that they were of no use at all.

They are good at fighting, but they cannot defeat Honkai. Apart from their fighting ability, they have no other advantages. They can only mechanically carry out the plans they have made, trapped in the nightmares of the past, and it is impossible for them to open up a promising future.

If Kevin, Su, and Fu Hua were replaced by Mei, Mobius, and Velvet and survived, with their scientific research capabilities, after arriving in the new era, even if they couldn't completely defeat Honkai, it would be very likely that they would at least find new hope.

Unfortunately, the three idiots, Kevin, Su, and Fu Hua, were the last to arrive at the new era. They didn't change their plans at all, nor did they have the slightest intention of changing anything.

You have to know that this is 50,000 years. The tremendous changes in the world are not enough to describe the length of this period of time. No matter how smart Mei is, she can't predict everything. Kevin and others completely ignore this point, which is really speechless.

Especially after the birth of the first Herrscher, the Herrscher of Reason, these predecessors did not come out to provide information, but continued with their various plans, leaving the younger generations to move forward aimlessly in confusion. This approach does not seem like they really want to survive the Honkai Impact.

"The Stigma Project? What's with sacrificing the vast majority of people?"

Walter Yang grasped the key point in Li Xuan's words. The Stigma Project? It seemed to be a preparation made in the last era to defeat the collapse, but how could such an act be justified at the cost of the vast majority of people?

You have to know that Anti-Entropy originally became independent because they were dissatisfied with the behavior of destiny sacrificing some people to ensure the safety of the majority. It is even more impossible for them to agree to Kevin's heartbroken plan. He feels that compared with this approach, Otto seems anthropomorphic.

"Simply put, the people of the previous era wanted to transfer all of humanity to a dreamland called the 'Stigmata Dimension'. Everything in this dreamland is beautiful, illusory, and fixed. Countless beautiful things repeat themselves, making ordinary people addicted. However, those who possess the Stigmata can escape this situation and return to Earth, becoming a civilization that fully coexists with Honkai energy."

"This plan sounds like it could make sense. Even if we're no longer human, at least our civilization can continue."

When Li Xuan first knew about it, he complained that it was a bit like Infinite Tsukuyomi, but after thinking about it carefully, it was even worse than Infinite Tsukuyomi!

Before the Infinite Tsukuyomi, everyone was like having their own little world, and they could make the world appear the way they wanted according to their own wishes.

But this Stigma Project? Countless fixed beauties, constantly reappearing? That's too weak.

"I absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of behavior! This is a complete violation of life. Although I am grateful for the help given by the people of the previous era, this is no reason for them to arbitrarily decide the future of humanity."

There is no doubt that Walter Yang was shocked by this inhumane and dictatorial plan. Perhaps at the critical moment of human survival, he might agree to this plan out of necessity. However, when humanity is not in such a critical situation, he will never allow it.

Facing Walter Yang who was staring at her furiously, Fu Hua felt helpless. It seemed that she was implicated by Kevin. But it was no wonder. Even Fu Hua herself strongly disapproved of the Stigmata Plan. No wonder Kevin and Su did not tell her about this plan.

"Kevin had no choice but to resort to this method. It was a helpless act for the continuation of civilization under the oppression of Honkai."

Fu Hua dryly defended her comrade, but she knew that this statement would not convince others.

"You know it's a last-ditch effort, a plan chosen only to preserve human civilization. But humanity hasn't reached that point yet, has it? This is the fundamental problem with the plans of the previous era."

Li Xuan pointed out the crux of the problem.

"When you formulated your plans in the previous era, humanity was already on the verge of extinction and failure, so the plans you devised were essentially radical and helpless choices. This was due to the circumstances, and it's not your fault. But after entering the new era, haven't you considered other solutions?"

"With the accumulation of the previous era, the purpose was to give humans in this era more possibilities, rather than aiming for the worst possible outcome from the beginning when implementing plans."

Chapter 524: Li Xuan's Ruthless Mocking

"We have other plans, such as the Spark Plan, the Ark Plan, the Hengsha Plan, etc. We......"

Fu Hua naturally wanted to defend herself and her Fire Moth teammates, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by Li Xuan.

"Honestly, I'm not unfamiliar with the plans you mentioned. However, as I said before, the plans you've made that have already failed are honestly too pessimistic. Although they claim to fight the Honkai and completely defeat the enemy, look at these plans. The Ark Plan says that if you can't win, you can just run away. There's no shame in that, even though a civilization that hasn't even left its planet ultimately failed to escape. The Hengsha Plan placed its hopes on other worlds, and the so-called Stigma Plan is practically the equivalent of surrender."

"These plans are basically a surrender, aren't they? They claim to be fighting the Honkai, but in reality, they already believe it's invincible. And the Spark Project, the only plan to truly confront the Honkai head-on, has been handed over to you, a junior among the Fire Moths. Clearly, they don't hold much hope."

"You're clearly a second-round player, with all the experience, skills, and intelligence you've accumulated since your first run, yet you haven't been able to make much of a difference in your second run. Honestly, the fight against the Honkai in this era still relies on Otto, and most crucially, Alyssia's sacrifice. The help you veterans offer is barely enough to be worth anything. I really don't understand what you three are really for."

Honestly, Li Xuan was confused. What was the point of Kevin and his Fusion Warriors from the previous era? The final outcome of Honkai Impact was due to Alcia's initial sacrifice, which gave the next era's Herrscher the possibility of resisting the Cocoon of the End. Otherwise, Kiana wouldn't have had the chance to fight Sirin and would have transformed into the Herrscher of the Void and slaughtered her wholeheartedly. Then there were the various techniques Mei inherited, and finally, Otto, who had created Kiana, and Kiana herself.

As for the three fusion warriors left over from the last era, Fu Huaxin is a good character, but does not play a big role, Su is just a supporting role, and although Kevin has a lot of ink on his face, he basically appears as a villain.

It cannot be said that it is completely useless to fight against the collapse in this era, but it can only be said that it is not very useful. Only Fu Hua still has some sense of participation.

"If you truly choose to fight the Honkai, you should work together to choose the right time, utilize your intelligence and other advantages, and implement the Spark Plan, constantly accumulating intelligence. That way, you might have a chance to defeat the Honkai, rather than dispersing your forces to execute those messy plans."

Fu Hua was speechless after hearing what Li Xuan said. Although Li Xuan said this without any hesitation, he could say these words without any fear of the collapse.

For Kevin, Su, and Fu Hua, the horror of the collapse has been deeply ingrained in their minds from the very beginning, and this horror has been continuously strengthened in the various major disasters that followed. They may not be afraid, but the mentality of retreating, fearing, and avoiding has long been deeply rooted in their hearts.

That's why they choose plans that seem like escape and surrender.

Fu Hua wanted to say that Li Xuan didn't understand the Fire Moths' considerations at all, but she couldn't refute Li Xuan's statement. After all, Li Xuan's words were indeed irrefutable and correct. If they really wanted to fight against the collapse, they would not have chosen the Ark Project or the Hengsha Project.

"But the advanced technology taught by the Spark Project can cause severe reactions such as the collapse. My friend Danzhu and the others died because of it."

When Fu Hua refuted, she couldn't help but think of the past and felt very painful inside.

"So, why exactly would someone like you be sent to carry out the Spark Project? Honestly, I've said this before. What was the reason behind the previous civilization keeping you guys alive into the new era?"

"If an Otto-like figure from the previous civilization had obtained those resources and technologies, they would have been able to build a force the size of ten Fire Moths by now, instead of being like they are now, where their combined strength is less than half the level of the previous civilization."

Li Xuan was puzzled. Were there no intelligent people left among the Fire Moth Chasers? What was the purpose of selecting them in the first place? What was the point of being able to fight? Especially when you're outmatched, in this kind of civilization, wisdom is clearly more important! Even if one of Mei, Mebius, or Velvet made it to the new era, they'd be in a much better position than Kevin and the other two.

"The Spark Project is about you inheriting and guiding the development of civilization, not just handing over the technology directly to them. If that were the case, a few machines would be enough, so why would you be needed? Yes, Honkai will develop as civilization's technology advances, but you can't indirectly guide civilization without increasing its depth while accumulating knowledge and waiting for the right moment to erupt."

"Honestly, after thousands of years, even with some Honkai as a hindrance, ten Fire Moths should have built up their strength. What the hell are you guys doing? You almost beat the first round, and even though you failed, you're still doing so badly after the second round? I really don't understand!"

Having accumulated enough power, resources, and technical advantages to nearly clear the game in one round, by the second round, I'd say they were, if not overwhelmingly, dominant! But what about Kevin and the others? They were still the same as they were when they first arrived in this era, even weakened by various internal conflicts. It can only be said that they've done more harm than good.

Hearing what Li Xuan said, Bronya nodded involuntarily. When she played the game, if the first round was carried over to the second round, she would basically stop playing. After all, it was too easy, and no matter how difficult the game was, it would lose its challenge.

Now Kevin, Su and Fu Hua are the ones who inherited the advantages of the first week, but instead became more dangerous and had a worse ending.

"That's too bad! It's outrageous!"

Clearly, a vast amount of technology, resources, and intelligence had been accumulated in the previous era, yet this era had completely failed to utilize them. Li Xuan couldn't help but laugh at them.

Build high walls, store up food, and slowly claim the throne. This strategy becomes more and more profound the more I read it. Although it is simple and straightforward, many people still can't figure it out.

Facing Li Xuan's merciless ridicule, Fu Hua was speechless. With Li Xuan's words, it seemed as if they were truly weak and had completely failed to bring out their strengths.

Chapter 525 Siegfried's Question

"Alas, maybe we are really not that cut out for each other."

If Kevin were here, he would definitely not listen to Li Xuan's ridicule and would just start fighting. However, Fu Hua had learned a lot during the thousands of years of protecting Shenzhou and knew that she was not good at this, so she chose to cooperate with Otto. Naturally, she would be more patient to listen to Li Xuan's ridicule.

At this time, Walter Yang was very angry but did not take the opportunity to add insult to injury. After all, his management of Anti-Entropy over the years was not much better.

Siegfried and his daughter Yulandel are even more clueless. Their brains are just like their ancestor Kevin. They know almost nothing about development and planning.

Only Rita nodded in agreement. As the adjutant and actual leader of the Undying Blade team, she had good management skills. While Captain Yulandel was training, she was the one who was doing the scheduling and preparation work in all aspects.

She believed that if there was such a huge advantage, it would not be a problem to develop a force that was ten or a hundred times more powerful than the current destiny, not to mention Archbishop Otto, who had single-handedly controlled and led the development of world civilization for five hundred years.

"To be honest, with the threat of collapse, it's impossible to rapidly develop technology. However, over the years, countless resources have been accumulated, not to mention the most crucial talent. For example, Anti-Entropy's current development relies heavily on the power of the Herrscher of Reason, as well as the two outstanding scientists, Einstein and Tesla."

"Although such outstanding scientists only appear once every few hundred years, over thousands of years, we should be able to accumulate dozens or even hundreds of such talented individuals. And there will be even more exceptional warriors. You can hide behind civilization, absorb so many outstanding talents, and store them away. When this era's civilization develops to a level close to that of the previous one and the Herrschers appear, you can awaken them. This will completely catch Honkai off guard, and it won't be that difficult at all."

Li Xuan admitted that Mei, Mobius, and Kevin from the previous era were undoubtedly excellent. However, how could there not be talents who could rival or even surpass the heroes of the Fire Moth in this era of thousands of years?

With the technology that can keep things dormant for tens of thousands of years from the last era to this one, it is entirely possible to gather countless talents and prepare for the Great Collapse.

Even so, Li Xuan doesn't know much about management. After all, he is just a symbol of force in the community, and his general management ideas are just borrowed from the operating methods of the big guys in history.

If it were Canary, it would be incredibly easy. Giving her thousands of years to fight a Honkai would be a no-brainer.

One incompetent general leads to the exhaustion of the entire army. This is the perfect description. Thousands of years, thousands of years, have been wasted in vain.

Upon hearing Li Xuan's rough plan, Fu Hua felt a wave of regret. She thought of her good friend Ji Qi and the countless other outstanding people she had met. She didn't think she was any better than them, yet she had done nothing at the time, allowing civilization to develop freely. Now, if she had saved them and kept them alive in the modern world, who knows how many outstanding scientists and fusion warriors would have emerged.

Seeing the regret in Fu Hua's eyes, Li Xuan didn't say anything more. At first glance, the previous civilization's fusion warriors were all formidable, but upon closer inspection, aside from their strength, they were completely unimpressive. But one couldn't expect too much from them. After all, none of the former civilization's truly powerful figures, like Mebius and Mebius, survived, and there was no telling what the Fire Moths were doing. At this critical juncture of civilization's survival, didn't they know how to preserve the flame of civilization? Were the Fire Moths truly important to the Fusion Warriors like Kevin?

No, what really mattered was Mei, and researchers like Mobius. As long as they were there, any number of fusion warriors could be created. Even a fusion warrior as powerful as Kevin could be produced if there were a large base of skilled warriors. It was a harsh statement, but it was also true. In the end, Mei died of exhaustion, and Mobius and Velvet vanished along with the previous civilization.

What's the point of leaving behind a few foolish soldiers who only know how to follow orders? They have no sense of the overall situation.

"Forget it, forget it, I won't say any more about this, let's get back to the point. Although your operations are very confusing and I don't know what you're doing, it has nothing to do with me. I just can't stop talking about it..."

Li Xuan was just suffering from a case of stupidity, so he said so much. In fact, what these guys did had nothing to do with Li Xuan.

"I still have to deal with Kiana's problem. The minor issue is Otto's Herrscher of the Sky project, and the bigger problem is this cocoon of the end created by the alien civilization."

"But these are not a big problem for me. The reason I asked you to come here is as I said before, so that you can work together to quell the chaos caused by the disappearance of Otto and Honkai. After all, this is Kiana's world, and I can't just kill and bury her."

Kiana's world is not like the other worlds Li Xuan has visited before. It is inherently chaotic, so Li Xuan can be more casual. Although there is a threat of collapse in the world of collapse, at this time, the social order is still relatively stable. This kind of chaos that will affect the entire world must be quelled by someone.

Li Xuan's chosen targets were Destiny and Anti-Entropy. Anti-Entropy had Walter Yang, and after killing Otto, Destiny could have Yulandel help Theresa take the position of Archbishop. If the two forces worked together, the chaos caused by Li Xuan's actions would be less severe.

"Do you have any questions now?"

"I want to know why Otto did this?"

Siegfried was very confused. Before the Second Collapse, he and Cecilia had great respect for Otto, but at least they trusted him very much. Why did he save the Herrscher of the Sky and stab him and others in the back? This question had always been hidden in Siegfried's heart. He didn't understand why Otto chose to deal with him.

"Why? It's very simple. Perhaps you think Otto is a very cold and cruel man, but the more such a person is, the more passionate his heart becomes once his emotions are aroused."

"He did this entirely for one person, for her. Otto was willing to do whatever he had to do. He fought against the Honkai for her, and the same was true for him backstabbing you and saving the Herrscher of the Sky."

Chapter 526 Otto's Original Wish

"Who is this guy?"

Siegfried asked impatiently. He really wanted to know who could have driven Otto, who seemed so cold and cruel in his eyes, so crazy.

"Who is this person? It's obvious, right? Just look at Theresa and you'll know, right? It's so obvious, why didn't you notice it?"

"I?"

Theresa looked confused as everyone else looked at her, and was a little bewildered for a moment.

Li Xuan sighed again, holding his forehead. It was such an obvious thing, and a little analysis would reveal it. Why did the others act completely clueless? Even Theresa, Otto's granddaughter, didn't understand.

"Theresa, haven't you noticed? Although you're the only member of the Apokalyps family, you actually have the blood of the Kaslana family. You have white hair and blue eyes. Don't you have any doubts? Why does Otto treat you as his granddaughter?"

"Me? My bloodline comes from Saint Kallen from five hundred years ago. Could it be that?"
