Chapter 32 Plans can't keep up with changes, Seele's age
……
Afterwards, Yun Fuyu told Xier what he had done that day and what he planned to do the next day.
"I stayed in the southern border of the Mu Continent, the place where the sixth Great Collapse occurred."
"I want to explore the birthplaces of Creation and Death, and see why you separated. If we can uncover the truth, we might even be able to turn future Herrschers against us."
Of course, more importantly, perhaps in the future we won't need to let Alicia...
Upon hearing this, Seele was at a loss for words. For some strange reason, Seele and the others did not tell Yun Fuyu the truth—that is, the separation of creation and death was actually a special situation that occurred when the Herrscher observed Yun Fuyu at the beginning of its birth.
There were many reasons why he didn't want to tell: he was suspicious of Yun Fuyu's true identity, he didn't know the principles of dreams, and he had a small selfish reason for not wanting him to know too early, lest he "entangle" someone else...
But at this moment, Yun Fuyu clearly misunderstood, thinking that the separation of creation and death was caused by other external factors, so he wanted to explore such factors, but he was completely unaware that it was all because of himself.
Seele sighed softly. There was no other way; she had to tell him anyway.
Seele: "The separation of creation and death, the root cause of all this lies with you. It was you who were observed at the very beginning of the Herrscher's birth, which led to the awakening of self-awareness and the separation of Seele and me."
Yun Fuyu's mind went completely blank, and wasn't this timeline wrong? The first thing he saw after transmigrating was Seele (the creator)...
Seele had no choice but to explain carefully: "Although you 'appeared' here precisely at the time you met Seele, your traces in this world appeared much earlier, sometime before that."
If organized chronologically, it would look like this:
Yun Fuyu "descends" - The Herrscher is born - Creation and Seele separate - Yun Fuyu appears - He meets Seele.
[It happened a long time ago that it landed on the "Cretaceous" alongside the "meteorite."]
Seele didn't want to say this.
Yun Fuyu sorted out his logic, then looked at this dreamlike space. Pale purple light flickered; if there was anything special about him, it must be here.
Here, he can form a bond with Seele, share a portion of Seele's Herrscher power, and help Seele be reborn and break free from Herrscher consciousness...
As far as Yun Fuyu knew, all of this might be related to "trust." He knew nothing else.
Let's think about it and experiment with it later.
Yun Fuyu: "In that case, I'll go back tomorrow. Also, Seele, I've noted down a few locations where the Honkai occurred; the rest is up to you."
To minimize suspicion, Yun Fuyu should avoid going to the place where Seele was resurrected, and only allow Seele to go there on her own. Although Seele is currently in spirit form, she can stay away from Yun Fuyu for short periods of time, as long as it doesn't exceed half a month (the maximum is one month), there shouldn't be any problems.
Since we're on the topic, Yun Fuyu couldn't help but ask, "Xi'er, what was your original age? And how old are you planning to be after your resurrection?"
While a girl's age is a secret, that applies to "aunties" who are 29 years old and over! (Möbius agrees, and will probably bite you back later)
Seele: "If it were Seele (the original Seele), she would have been sixteen years old when the Great Collapse occurred. This time, I want to pretend to be fourteen years old... probably like this."
As she spoke, she stood up, and a cloud of smoke suddenly billowed in, obscuring Yun Fuyu's vision. When the smoke dissipated, Seele reappeared in a different form. If the original Seele was a graceful young woman, this time, she transformed into a cute little girl.
A certain Yun, an unknown lolicon, suddenly felt like drooling (just kidding).
Besides the change in age, Seele's bangs also have a yellow highlight, just like the summer skin of the sapphire blue lotus.
Seele rubbed her face, adopting a cautious and timid demeanor, and gave Yun Fuyu a faint smile. That instant of liveliness burst forth, a perfect blend of girlish and lolita-like charm that sent chills down the spine of an unknown lolicon, making him feel as if his skull had been pierced. He desperately wanted to kiss, hug, and lift her up high! Aaaaaaahh ...
Seele: "Do you think this look is okay?"
Yun Fuyu (enchanted): "Good, good, good..."
Seele: "...Um, tone it down a bit, don't laugh so weirdly."
Yun Fuyu (wiping drool): "Oh."
Seele looked at him somewhat speechlessly, but a small joy stirred within her. After all, who doesn't like the feeling of being liked?
She chuckled and said, "It's settled then. I'll go find a place tomorrow. See you tomorrow night."
……
……
The next day, due to unforeseen circumstances, Yun Fuyu returned directly to the Moth Chaser.
Mebius, who was secretly monitoring Yun Fuyu, was completely bewildered, not knowing what he was up to. But since Yun Fuyu had already returned to the Flame Chaser, there was nothing more to see. After reporting to Mei, she went back to her own business.
Hen didn't ask him what he had done last night, but simply instructed him to continue training, indicating that he might be officially dispatched on a mission soon. At that time, Yun Fuyu would either organize or be assigned to a three-person team, and he should be mentally prepared.
Yun Fuyu thought for a moment. In the three-person team, Xier definitely had to take one spot. Who should take the last spot?
If they could seduce (scratch that) get on Alicia's good side, that would be the best option. Of the thirteen future heroes, only Alicia, Kevin, and Kosmo had joined the Firemoth and become official combat personnel at this time.
Kevin has his own small team and doesn't consider them at all. Kosmo and Desdobia are always inseparable; Yun Fuyu has never met them, but she often hears rumors about them. Finally, there's Alicia, who always goes alone and rarely forms a team for missions.
So, to sum it up, clinging to Alicia's coattails is ideal, but if that's not possible, just stick with Seele; there's no need to add anyone else. After all, their "fate is intertwined," which sounds mystical, but they've definitely built up a lot of trust in each other, and they've already shared experiences traveling together before. Adding another person would be redundant.
Then, with the expectation of waiting for Xi'er to "come back to life", Yun Fuyu began today's simulation training.
It's possible that Hen is up to something. His first opponent is the Temple-level Honkai Beast that he just killed yesterday.
In the simulated training, Yun Fuyu couldn't neutralize its weak "life and death domain," so he struggled to deal with it, but managed to barely win in the end. It was only then that he suddenly felt a chill—could this be a test to monitor his strength?
In contrast, yesterday's kill was far too easy; Yun Fuyu knocked down the Honkai Beast with a single punch right from the start. Today, however, he struggled to defeat it. The difference lay solely in his resistance to that weak domain.
"..."
"Never mind, maybe I'm overthinking it."
He sighed and left.
