After all, this was a life born from her own body. Moreover, having learned about Little Shi's personality from the storyline, Fu Hua was genuinely looking forward to her—this rebellious troublemaker of the Honkai, and one of the future key figures in the fight against it.
Meanwhile, the sudden surge of Honkai energy brought by Wu Tong instantly triggered the alarms at St. Freya.
Hearing the alarms, everyone was stunned. How could such a massive amount of Honkai energy appear out of nowhere?
In an instant, Theresa, who had been pestering Cecilia, immediately stood up and dashed toward the epicenter of the Honkai energy. Seeing Theresa move, the others quickly snapped out of their daze and followed suit, rushing toward the source.
This Honkai outbreak was happening at St. Freya Academy?
Seriously, wasn't this already the second time?
Had St. Freya Academy truly become the "Demon's Den of the Far East"?
As they hurried, everyone couldn't help but Make complaints inwardly.
When they arrived, they saw Wu Tong manipulating the Honkai energy, directing it into Fu Hua's body. Beside Fu Hua's body, Dan Zhu and the others were crouched down, staring intently at her. There was also that ghostly figure floating beside Wu Tong.
Wait… wasn't that Fu Hua?
What the heck was going on?
And… this Honkai outbreak was actually caused by Wu Tong?
While everyone else was baffled, Theresa, drawing from past experience, instantly understood. Realizing what Wu Tong was up to, she couldn't help but wear a look of resignation.
Another Herrscher was about to be born at the "Herrscher Academy."
Wu Tong paid no attention to the arriving crowd. Sensing that the time was right, he stopped channeling the Honkai energy.
At this moment, the consciousness of the Cocoon of Finality, influenced by Prometheus, was overjoyed to see Fu Hua's body enveloped in such vast Honkai energy. Without a second thought, it concluded:
With such a powerful vessel and unparalleled combat skills, the resulting Herrscher would undoubtedly be exceptionally strong.
Thus, the Cocoon's consciousness hurled a core of the Herrscher of Sentience into Fu Hua's body.
Before long, a Herrscher core took form within her.
Then, the Herrscher consciousness descended.
Soon, Fu Hua's body began to change.
Her plain gray-blue attire transformed into a black battle suit.
Adornments appeared on her head, and a red gemstone materialized at the center of her forehead.
"Success!"
"Yay~"
The onlookers, recognizing the familiar outfit, immediately realized the birth of the Herrscher of Sentience.
Cang Xiao Xuan and Dan Zhu cheered excitedly.
To them, this lively and cheerful "Little Shi" was far more interesting than the old-fashioned Fu Hua. She'd definitely get along with them.
"The Herrscher of Sentience is the greatest in the world!"
"Please wake up soon, and let's fight the Honkai together!!"
Seeing this, Wu Tong's smile widened.
The experiment was a success, and his roster of top-tier fighters had just gained another member.
Awaken, the great Herrscher of Sentience!!!
Perhaps hearing Wu Tong's call, or disturbed by the clamor around her, or maybe having fully absorbed Fu Hua's vast memories, Little Shi slowly opened her eyes.
A pair of crimson pupils met the gazes of the crowd.
At this moment, the newly born Herrscher consciousness emerged from the body of a warrior who had lived for 50,000 years.
Battered by the torrent of Fu Hua's memories spanning millennia, the Herrscher's consciousness transformed into that of a warrior fighting against the Honkai. She embraced the mission to oppose it, becoming a steadfast rebel against the Honkai's will.
Thus, the three-year-old (or perhaps zero-year-old?) "Little Shi" was born!!!
"Hey, kid."
"You've got good taste."
"That's right—I am the greatest, most magnificent Herrscher of Sentience!"
Little Shi stood up, flashing Wu Tong a bright, confident grin and giving him a thumbs-up.
Yes, she was indeed the greatest.
Seeing the newly born "Shi Bao," Wu Tong's lips curled into a faint smile.
Clearly, Little Shi had gleaned from Fu Hua's memories the unfolding events of the Honkai storyline, as well as their plan to create Herrschers.
But it seemed she didn't mind.
"Hello, I'm Wu Tong—your dad."
"..."
Hearing this, Little Shi was speechless.
"Emmm..."
"Want to be my dad?"
"Can I punch you?"
If you're going to say stuff like that, don't blame me for throwing hands.
Technically, Wu Tong had facilitated her birth, so he could be considered her "father."
But Little Shi wasn't stupid—why would she acknowledge a boy younger than her as her dad?
(In her subconscious, she believed she was as old as Fu Hua.)
Besides, it was obviously a joke.
However, Little Shi had never been one to tolerate such jokes. She immediately fired back:
"You can't beat me."
A glint of amusement flashed in Wu Tong's eyes.
She wasn't wrong. After days of training, Wu Tong's strength had soared again. With all his cards on the table, his combat prowess now ranked among the top three in the Honkai world.
The only ones who could challenge him were a fully powered Kevin and the "False God" Otto.
But now that Otto had resurrected Kallen, it was uncertain whether he'd still become the False God.
As for Kevin, he'd been trapped in the Sea of Quanta for so long that his body hadn't fully recovered.
Thus, Wu Tong could proudly declare: in this Honkai world, if he wanted to, he could rightfully call himself the "Ancestral One."
Still, he had to admit—Little Shi's rebellious spirit was off the charts.
Her first thought was to punch him.
Was it because he'd gathered all the Herrscher authorities except Finality and Origin?
Typical of her.
"Emmm..."
"Fine, whatever."
"I'll let you off the hook this time, since you helped bring me into this world."
"Be grateful."
Little Shi planted her hands on her hips, feeling incredibly pleased with herself.
Then, her gaze shifted to the ghostly Fu Hua floating beside Wu Tong.
"Remember, from now on, I'm the real Fu Hua. You're just a cheap knockoff."
As she spoke, she proudly flipped Fu Hua a double middle finger.
Watching her unruly child—who hadn't yet learned her lesson—dare to act up against her own mother, Fu Hua's eye twitched.
Must you use my body to make such obscene gestures?
The bystanders, however, couldn't help but marvel.
As expected, Shi Bao and Fu Hua's personalities were polar opposites.
"She's your mom, not a knockoff!"
Dan Zhu, witnessing this scene, quickly intervened.
Stop messing around! What knockoff?
There's no such thing—Fu Hua is your mother!
