No Man's Land.
Ruan Mei made her choice.
Leon then returned with her from that fictional hometown to this expanse of ice and snow.
En, according to the Corporation's intelligence, this is probably her real hometown.
"What is this?"
Leon pointed to the massive beast corpse properly preserved by Ruan Mei inside the nutrient pod and asked.
"Remains of an 'Ancient Beast'."
Ruan Mei answered this question.
"A special species that has some differences from the 'Swarm', but is generally close to it."
She briefly introduced it to him.
"They were the ones who ruled the galaxy before the Dusk Wars, but they went almost extinct after the Dusk Wars.
"However, there are still some mutant descendants existing."
Ruan Mei added details, "Very few. The current galaxy refers to this kind of existence as 'Behemoths'."
Like the Swarm, do they also have descendants remaining?
"Did no 'Aeon' ascend from this?"
Leon seemed thoughtful, asking curiously after thinking of something.
After all, there is the precedent of 'Tayzzyronth' before them.
The Swarm went extinct, and suddenly a big one came to the galaxy.
Allowing a 'Propagation' Aeon to be born right then and there, directly setting off the great catastrophe of the Swarm Disaster.
Yet the 'Ancient Beasts' went extinct.
Did they surprisingly not precipitate a newborn 'Aeon' like the Swarm did?
No, what about 'The Equilibrium'? What about 'HooH'?
Hurry up and save the day.
"Actually, there is one."
Ruan Mei was very knowledgeable about knowledge related to 'Aeons'; she could say a thing or two regardless of which 'Aeon' it was.
"There really is one, huh."
How did 'The Equilibrium' actually exert force this time?
Brother 'HooH', you really deserve to die; you created another scourge!
"En."
Before the experiment formally began, Ruan Mei didn't mind chatting a few sentences with him.
"'The Voracity' Aeon, Oroboros."
"He is the 'Aeon' of the 'Ancient Beast' race, and also one of the participants in that Swarm Disaster of the past."
Ruan Mei spoke slowly.
"There are very few recorded appearances of 'Oroboros'."
"The history of the Dusk Wars is too difficult to trace back."
"This leads to almost no one knowing what exactly happened at that point in time."
"Why exactly 'Oroboros' could get along harmoniously with 'Qlipoth' until after the Dusk Wars, as well as many other questions, have no way of being known."
Ruan Mei thought for a moment, deciding to mention a few more things at the end.
"His last emergence into the world was during that Divine War of the Swarm Disaster that involved multiple 'Aeons'."
"And after the Swarm Disaster, 'Oroboros' was seen no more."
Ruan Mei stated the ending of this Aeon of 'The Voracity'.
"He fell into a state of being missing; no one knows if this 'Aeon' is dead or alive."
"Many people feel He also fell in that Divine War, and many people feel He became the devouring itself, omnipresent."
"In short, there has never been an accurate statement regarding the whereabouts of 'Oroboros'."
"However, that the Swarm Disaster could have such great harm, half of the reason lies with Him."
Finished speaking, Ruan Mei looked toward Leon.
"Any other questions?"
"Yes."
Leon nodded.
"Are you going to use these 'Ancient Beast' remains as a vessel for 'Tayzzyronth'?"
'Ancient Beast' remains? Feels inferior to pieces of a Dragon corpse.
"En."
This was something Ruan Mei had decided long ago.
"'The Propagation' and 'The Voracity'."
"Among the eighteen Paths, the essence of these two is the closest, one could even say identical."
Ruan Mei gave her reason.
"Unlike the 'Paths' chosen by other 'Aeons' post-factum, 'The Voracity' is the same as 'The Propagation'; both are innate, instinctive ways of survival."
"This also leads to the two Paths being extremely exclusive."
Limited to specific races, they are simply not something humans can step into.
"However, I feel that since the essences have connecting points, then there must be a possibility of resonance between the two Paths."
Ruan Mei gazed at the remains in the nutrient pod, the deep green light reflecting on her face.
"Also, Fusion Beasts."
"This time is only an attempt. I only seek to personally experience what kind of feeling it is, exactly, to create a life form like an 'Aeon'."
Ruan Mei spoke to herself.
"As for other things, I don't expect to facilitate them directly in one step."
According to Ruan Mei's original plan.
To truly resurrection the 'Swarm Emperor', there must be at least four grand steps.
One, dissect 'Remembrance'.
Retrieve the memories of the 'Swarm Emperor'; this is an indispensable item to ensure a true resurrection.
Two, regulate 'The Equilibrium'.
Stabilize the turbulence on the 'Swarm Emperor's' body, to solidify that He will not be influenced by the newborn consciousness.
Three, deconstruct 'The Beauty'.
Restore the 'Swarm Emperor's' appearance, as well as that most important essence.
Four, reproduce 'The Permanence'.
Prepare a body for the 'Swarm Emperor' that can accept His return.
Unfortunately, if really proceeded with, who knows how many donkey's years it would take.
Now, this opportunity must not be lost.
After all, with Leon present, there is no harm in experimenting beforehand.
"'Aeon', huh?"
Leon evaluated: Wait until you really create it, you won't be happy again.
Next door, Zandar is already regretting it for life.
Deciding to exterminate his relatives in the name of righteousness, validating his Dao under the name of 'Zhan Da Er' (Beheading the Big Son).
'Aeons' are uncontrollable.
Even if you created Him, it is impossible for Him to acknowledge you.
To Him,
The person who created Him is just a 'biological father'.
It's even possible they aren't even a biological father.
Ruan Mei did not answer again, but began to set her hand to the experiment.
She placed the critical parts of the six great Swarm Kings into the nutrient pod one by one, inputting data into the 'Ancient Beast', gathering together the innate magical abilities of 'Tayzzyronth'.
Having done everything, she threw a small piece of insect armor in as well.
"What is that?"
Leon didn't recall there being this thing within the six great Swarm Kings he hunted.
"The remains of 'Tayzzyronth'."
That is, an object bestowed by an 'Aeon'.
"I reached a cooperation with a blond outworlder and obtained it from his hands."
Ruan Mei spoke calmly, informing him truthfully.
"Blond outworlder?"
Why did Leon always feel like he also had a bit of an impression?
Oh, that guy who came with Jingliu.
He recalled for a moment, then found the answer from his memory.
The Xianzhou Alliance seemed to have said they were sending him to rot in jail; didn't know how he was doing now.
Leon thought in his heart,
Looking at the 'Ancient Beast' gradually growing flesh and blood in the cultivation pod.
"Back off."
He took a step forward, speaking to Ruan Mei, assuming a combat stance, intentionally protecting her.
...
At the same time.
Corporation Headquarters, Pier Point.
Within subspace, the place where the 'Amber Lord' resides.
"Hey hey hey, are you kidding me..."
Dongfang Qixing felt the 'Black Shadow' within the 'Swarm Emperor Prison' suddenly become active and constantly ram its body everywhere, only feeling the pressure was immense.
"What exactly happened in the outside world again?"
He sank his breath, the power of 'The Preservation' on his body climbing several ranks directly in an instant.
With a loud shout, Dongfang Qixing began to exert force.
Attentively suppressing the Black Shadow attempting to break out of its shell from this 'Swarm Emperor Cage'!
"No, what exactly are those youngsters stirring up?"
Then he discovered the amplitude of the 'Black Shadow's' restlessness this time was so high that even if he went all out, it was difficult to stop.
"Really doesn't let one save even half a bit of worry!"
Dongfang Qixing gritted his teeth, beginning to borrow the power of the 'Amber Lord' within this space!
"I'm not even dead yet; how is it the turn of you youngsters to help suppress it!"
Under the buff of the venue, Dongfang Qixing finally had the trend of suppressing the Black Shadow!
The 'Black Shadow' refused to admit defeat, constantly rampaging left and right!
Time passed bit by bit just like this,
Dongfang Qixing wanted to suppress the Black Shadow, while the Black Shadow did not want to be suppressed.
It wanted to go out; someone was calling it. That was a call from the bloodline in its bones!
No matter what, it must go!
Neither of the two was willing to loosen their mouth, not willing to admit defeat!
Just stalemate like this, deadlocked for a long, long time.
"Cough-ah!"
In the end, it was Dongfang Qixing who couldn't hold on first.
The burden was too great; he spat out blood, his defense broken in a second.
And the 'Black Shadow' took advantage of this good opportunity to break through directly from the front!
Crack, a crisp booming sound!
The invisible 'Black Shadow' smashed through this piece of divine body amber, smashing through the cage binding itself!
"A bunch of youngsters doing things so radically... never thought about whether this old bag of bones could withstand it..."
Dongfang Qixing coughed several times in succession.
Usually, it was all fine. Even if there was occasional resistance, it was never as radical as today.
It was simply like 'If I can't get out, then today I will rest only when one of us dies'.
"Can't you just obediently go and die?"
He wiped the fresh blood off the corner of his crystal body's mouth, gazing at the direction the 'Black Shadow' departed, climbing his 'Preservation' magnitude up another level once again.
"If I let you go out today, I'll directly abandon 'The Preservation' and defect to 'The Propagation'!"
Dongfang Qixing's eyes held determination.
But just as he prepared to chase after it, to capture the 'Black Shadow' back into the amber and seal it up again.
Someone made a reaction one step ahead of him.
Directly resolving the crisis.
—Yes, the 'Amber Lord' took action in time!
One could only see 'Qlipoth' suddenly appear in front of the 'Black Shadow', just as it prepared to continue fleeing forward, or even leave this space!
Bang!
A booming sound resounding through the heavens and earth; He directly raised his hammer and gave the 'Black Shadow' a hammer blow!
'Qlipoth' swung a hammer out; powerful magnetic field force comparable to one million horsepower hit the 'Black Shadow' dead on!
The 'Black Shadow' flew backward uncontrollably!
A part of its body sensed something wrong, directly severing an arm to survive, autonomously splitting off a part, and obeying that desire at the bottom of its heart to flee toward the outside world!
With a smack, the 'Black Shadow' plummeted rapidly and was smashed onto the ground!
Directly beaten back by 'Qlipoth's' one hammer into the 'Swarm Emperor Cage' it had escaped from less than three seconds ago!
Seeing the situation, Dongfang Qixing hurriedly made a move following closely behind the 'Amber Lord'.
Utilizing the power of 'The Preservation',
Creating amber out of thin air, directly patching up the big hole in the 'Swarm Emperor Cage' that was smashed through by the 'Black Shadow'!
Dongfang Qixing transformed a hammer in his palm at will; he dropped a hammer toward the 'Swarm Emperor Cage'!
Accompanied by the hammer fall, a dong sound echoed.
The 'Black Shadow' was directly sealed, the strength of the seal quite a bit greater than before.
The 'Black Shadow' that was making a racket just now, after being locked back into the 'Swarm Emperor Cage', seemed to have fallen silent, making no sound or movement as if it had died.
Dongfang Qixing understood things weren't that simple.
But right now he shouldn't focus on this, but care about how the 'Amber Lord' was...
Just thinking that, another bang sound rang out!
Dongfang Qixing's line of sight was attracted by the sound, and he hurriedly looked over.
One could only see that after swinging that hammer at the 'Black Shadow' just now, mobilizing some power of 'The Preservation', and unable to concentrate completely,
The things inside the 'Amber Lord's' body began to get restless!
A pile of hideous and disgusting deep green tentacles opening wide mouths probed out successively from the 'Amber Lord's' body!
Seeing this, 'Qlipoth' did not indulge them.
Directly smashing a hammer fiercely onto His own body!
The bang sound just now also came from this behavior.
After eating a hammer blow, those tentacles oozing out from the 'Amber Lord's' body immediately settled down.
The tentacles retracted their probed heads in pain.
Beaten by this hammer, they obediently retracted themselves back into the 'Amber Lord's' body.
'Qlipoth' had no reaction to the abnormality of His own body.
He merely looked toward the horizon, unknown what He was thinking.
What was beaten back into the 'Swarm Emperor Cage' by His hammer just now was the Authority of 'The Propagation'.
It is an empty object, but the living object—that is, that new 'Emperor' gestated by the Authority of 'The Propagation'—still successfully fled in the end.
'Qlipoth' could not pull Himself away.
Impossible to go intercept and kill, so He could only believe the people outside could resolve this crisis on their own.
He thought of that kid who came to the亚 (sub) space not long ago.
The person selected by 'Lan'; with his strength, he should be able to resolve it smoothly.
'Qlipoth' thought this way.
He turned back, looking at the 'Swarm Emperor Cage' below.
Although, even if that 'Emperor' is resolved, apart from dragging it out a bit more time, it is of no great use.
The 'Emperor' is a consumable; it is worthless.
Only as long as the Authority of 'The Propagation' still exists for one day.
It will sooner or later brew a new 'Tayzzyronth'.
A new 'Emperor'.
Nothing more than a matter of time, sooner or later.
As long as the Authority of 'The Propagation' is not resolved for one day, this cycle will continue to exist for one day.
This is the unsolvable dilemma of the current galaxy.
No Man's Land.
Ruan Mei's research institute was ruined.
And in his view, she was probably about to play the role of the Little Island Exploding Raven.
The moment her experimental subject was born, the might rippled out from it razed everything in the vicinity to the ground.
If not for Leon intentionally protecting her, Ruan Mei probably wouldn't have been spared from the disaster either.
In front of the two was a synthetic creation.
It used the body of an Ancient Beast, the wings of the Swarm grew on its back, and the head had turned into an appearance similar in shape to 'Tayzzyronth'.
Mouthparts, as well as other Swarm King parts.
Were also all gifts symbolizing the 'Swarm Emperor'.
"Sister, the way I see it, you simply created a fusion beast."
Leon said it from the start; Ruan Mei couldn't create it.
How could an 'Aeon' be such an easy thing to create?
Creating an 'Emanator', you can still pile up materials; can something piled up from a bunch of 'Emanator' level materials not be an 'Emanator'?
But an 'Aeon', unless taking Zandar's path.
Otherwise, for an existence like an 'Aeon' where once proven it is forever proven.
Even if it is one that has already fallen, lacking the critical 'Position', it cannot be created no matter what.
Just tell him, this Five Emperor Fusion Beast in front of his eyes.
Where does it have even half a bit of the look of 'Tayzzyronth', half a bit of the look of 'The Propagation' Aeon?
If you say this kind of low-quality cosplay counts too.
Then over at 'The Destruction's' Antimatter Legion, there is a 'The Hunt' personal disciple who looks more like 'Lan' than him.
How about he directly abdicate?
PY Promotion:
Transmigrated to Honkai Impact 3rd but ended up brain-dead and died violently?
Fortunately, there is still System Divine Power; going to the Elysian Realm to start a third life right now!
What do you mean the transmission system malfunctioned?
Crashing into a wheat field, Luo Feng swore to the pink mammal:
"No matter how much price is paid, I must see the Elysian Realm.
Anyway, Amphoreus is also a data world; big deal, I'll continue to utilize the System Divine Power to rub one out.
What do you mean the external Elysian Realm module has been accessed? Why are they all Demigods inside?
What does it mean that the Thirteen Flame-Chasers are moving in with their bags?
What do you mean Phainon was installed with a gender-bending plugin by me and turned into Kiana?
"Where did you bring me?! Is this still Amphoreus?"
"Our Elysia... what exactly will it become? (choking with sobs)"
