Chapter 777 Collapse
Qi Fu naturally overheard the discussion among the women in the conceptual body.
Through their words, Qi Fu gradually pieced together the whole story.
Looking at Su Zhen in the distance, he spoke again.
“Su Zhen, I’ve figured some things out now. Do you want me to tell you, or will you tell me yourself? You, the third conceptual god who was born long ago in the Tree Sea World, Tianji Hai, wasn’t born late, nor was you born because of the battle between me and the Void Tree. No, that’s not right…”
"It must have been because of my battle with the Void Tree that you were affected, which prevented you from absorbing the concept of the sea, and that's why the sea awakened!"
"So, Hai should have woken up long ago, and you're the one preventing her from waking up, right?"
As Qi Fu finished speaking, Tian Ji Hai was immediately shocked.
"What? I should have woken up much earlier?"
She looked at Su Zhen again and noticed that Su Zhen's face had turned unnaturally dark.
"Hey, is it you who's hindering my birth?" Tenji Mukuro immediately questioned.
"Hehehe!" Su Zhen laughed, a laugh of relief and liberation.
"So what if it is, Hai? When you swallow civilization whole and let it return to dust, do you understand the final struggle of civilization?" Su Zhen looked coldly at Tian Ji Hai.
Tenhime Mukuro: "!!!"
Then she looked at Xu Shu: "Xu Shu, you are Xu Shu, the Xu Shu that supports countless civilizations. You can see the joy and effort of each civilization after it is born in your body, and you also know the painful struggle for survival when each civilization is about to perish."
"Faced with such a thing, you just coldly watched them fall into the deep sea!"
"Have you ever thought about whether they have begged you not to abandon them?" Su Zhen pointed sharply at Xu Shu as she spoke.
Xu Shu frowned, seemingly deep in thought, but it was not very obvious.
At this moment, Su Zhen's expression softened slightly: "If you think I'm lying to you, then think what you want. I did lie to you in some ways, but my civilized nature has always been genuine."
"You would never imagine the dire circumstances under which a concept representing civilization was born, nor could you imagine how weak it was at its inception..."
"It thought it could reverse the rise and fall of civilizations, but it never expected that there were two concepts above it that were many times larger than it."
"Every civilization nearing death gains a desperate will to survive, enabling it to continue living. But it also understands that it was born out of despair, and that unique hope gave it its existence."
"Therefore, it needs to allow civilization to rise up and take charge, instead of two ugly conceptual gods who are indifferent to worldly affairs and only care about their own territory!"
When they heard Su Zhen call them ugly, Xu Shu and Tian Ji Hai, their faces darkened again. But they didn't retaliate, because they wanted to know what Su Zhen would say next, and how she had become like this.
"In the world of the Tree Sea, three gods were born: a tree, a sea, and a civilization that was used as a common object by both the Tree Sea and the illusory tree. However, the civilization was too weak, the illusory tree was too powerful, and the sea was rejected by the life within the civilization and forced to fall."
"This resulted in the tree and the sea, which should have been born together, only giving birth to a virtual tree ahead of schedule. The third, desperate civilization born in the sea then discovered this."
"In order to allow civilization to take control, and also to spare itself the pain of the rise and fall of civilizations, it began to absorb the power of the sea. As it absorbed the power, it discovered that it could use this to delay the formal birth of the sea."
"With each passing day of continuous absorption, it grew stronger and stronger, until it could harness the power of the sea itself."
"At this moment, civilization understood that it exists solely to meet the needs of civilization and allow it to 'survive'."
"It thought that as long as it continued to absorb the power of the sea, the concept of the sea, and assimilate the sea, it could completely replace the sea and become its master. But it never expected that one day an outside god would clash with the Void Tree, and the power of their battle would awaken the sea, allowing it to recover from its suppression."
"The sea gave birth to its own consciousness and became a complete god!"
"But civilization, because of the birth of the sea, had to leave the sea and avoid the sea's potential attention."
"Just when she thought she had nowhere to go and would be discovered by the sea of trees, she suddenly realized that the trees seemed to be restrained by that foreign god."
"A colossal conceptual entity wandered outside a certain universe, devoid of any consciousness. The alien god was the same, equally devoid of consciousness, yet it both desperately craved and loathed that hopeful concept."
"It yearned for that concept of hope to save civilization, yet hated that it had ruined its plans."
“So…” Su Zhen didn’t finish her sentence, but even if she didn’t say anything, everyone already knew what was going on.
"So that's how it is? That's why she threw things into the virtual tree world. Those things weren't meant to cause destruction at all; they were just to attract Xu Shu's attention and give herself time to prepare," Xin Hai suddenly realized.
"So she's also quite attracted to Qi Fu's body!" Yae no Miko teased.
"Is she craving something? She clearly wants to bite off a few pieces of meat!" Meng Jianyue Ruixi rolled her eyes.
"So what should we do next?" Barbara was unsure about this grudge.
"Of course we should take her down! She's shown so much hostility towards us, so she's our enemy!" Navia pulled out a small gun, seemingly intending to use it to blast Su Zhen.
“But she’s also quite pitiful, and it’s a concept of civilization. Aren’t we the founders of civilization? Teyvat is also a world on the verge of civilization’s destruction,” Barbara frowned.
“But she doesn’t seem to think that way. She just wants civilization to stand above the Tree Sea World and for the Void Tree and the Sea to disappear. Think about how she came from the future to the present. She not only used Qi Fu’s power and Xi Lian’s hopes, but she may have even become so strong through a sneak attack!” Sylvanas sneered.
"Was it a sneak attack when my future husband was fighting with Suzu because of the birth of Tenhime Mukuro?" Ayaka Kamisato looked over.
“She’ll only have a chance at a certain time,” Sitella said, shrugging.
“That… is true,” Ayaka Kamisato nodded thoughtfully.
At this moment, Xi Lian's expression also darkened. The rise and fall of civilizations made her see the image of Onpharos. To be honest, she understood Su Zhen quite well.
Survival in a civilization is incredibly difficult, yet sometimes there's nothing we can do about it.
Because civilization often encompasses many things, its enduring nature is based on the core spirit of that civilization.
Bad things are short-lived, while good things are long-lasting. Therefore, Xi Lian also felt that Su Zhen had indeed made a mistake; she had become a bad civilization.
"So, you took advantage of the chaos between Hai and me to launch a sneak attack on us, which is how you got to this point?" Xu Shu also spoke up at this moment, and she shared the same thought as Sitella.
"Hmph, if it weren't for your meddling, Qi Fu, I would have swallowed you all whole long ago," Su Zhen glared at Qi Fu resentfully.
After saying that, Su Zhen clenched her fist again:
"Virtual Tree, and the sea, I am the true master of the Tree Sea World. Virtual Tree, you were discovered by civilization, and you grew to this point because of civilization. What makes you greater than civilization?"
"Tianji Hai, you are merely a graveyard of civilizations. What makes you think you possess a concept of the same size as the Void Tree? Must civilizations experience rise and fall, unable to endure?"
"Therefore, it is now my turn to end all of this and let civilization stand firmly atop the sea of trees."
"Xu Shu, Hai, your story ends here!"
After she finished speaking, a scarlet light suddenly burst forth from Su Zhen's body.
"This is! My Virtual Tree Energy? No, this is the Destruction Technique, specifically designed to destroy civilizations!"
"You came from the future to the present, so there should be another you. Now that she's not here, could it be that you..."
At that moment, Xu Shu exclaimed in surprise!
