The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Huh... cough cough cough! My throat hurts from shouting. Is that guy stupid? Why is she running... Wait! She might be a spy who has been lurking for a long time! She was thinking about how to steal more valuable information, but she was startled by our sudden appearance... Yeah, that must be the case! No, I have to run up and remind my stupid disciple not to be fooled by such a woman!" "Hua" rushed out anxiously, but was pulled back by the guy next to him in an instant. "What are you doing!" Rushing forward and pulling back, "Hua"'s body swayed due to the unstable center of gravity, and almost rolled down the slanted stone path. "Damn it! Don't drag me with you if you want to die!" After finally standing firm with the help of a pine tree beside him, he turned his head and saw a face that was no different from his own. It's just that the expression on that face is a little strange, as if he wants to say something but stops, but this adjective usually carries a feeling of helplessness, but the face in front of him clearly has a hint of a suppressed but barely noticeable smile.

"Hua" doesn't understand what kind of emotion that is, just like she can't understand the person in front of her. But she never thinks it's her problem.

"Hey! I'm talking to you, we are essentially the same person, right? We are all 'Hua', right? And, it was me who injected you with power so that you can maintain your current form, right?"

Under a series of questions, the other Hua just frowned slightly, quickly closed his eyes, and shook his head slowly.

"Maybe."

"Hey--you! What do you mean? Ahem! From an absolute perspective, you who only have a few memories and I who have almost all memories are certainly not the same individual, but from a relative perspective, aren't we both 'Hua'?"

Hua's expression froze:

"Who taught you this?"

"Hua? Is that even necessary? Isn't this in our common memory... Hey? Who taught this... Ahhh, that's not right! Can't I just figure it out on my own because of my natural intelligence?"

"..."

"Hey! Hey! I'm talking to you! I could have just not needed you and directly absorbed the memories you left in Yu Duchen, right?"

"No..."

"But I still spent a lot of effort to help you maintain your form Should you thank me? "" No ... "" Of course, we are a person after all, so I don't ask for a hard return. Give it to me, before that, we have to chat with them as two different individuals. Go on ... "" Blame me! "" Hua "stallion, and then he waved his arms again and walked around the mountain gate. Hua Shen breathed a few back and forth, and finally leaned gently on the thick trunk beside the mountain gate, looking down at the unchanged sea of ​​clouds. "So, what do you want to say?"

"Ah?"

"Hua" sighed in disappointment.

"I thought that since we are the same person, we can understand each other to some extent... Oh, forget it! I really can't have too much expectations. I just... hate that expression of yours."

"What kind of expression?"

"...That one."

"..."

"Ahhh!"

"Hua" held her head and kicked the stone under her feet twice, but she didn't seem to be satisfied with it. Instead, she stared at the pine tree that Hua was leaning on.

She quickly rushed to Hua, pushed her away, and then hugged the pine tree, easily uprooted it, and then swung the poor tree and hit it hard against a mess of rocks twice, and finally screamed and threw the tree into the sea of ​​clouds.

"It's that kind of expression - hehe - that kind of expression - frowning and staring... wait a minute!" "Hua" used his fingers to pinch his eyebrows together, then pinched his eyelids, opened his eyes as wide as possible, then hooked his two middle fingers to the corners of his mouth and pulled them down, and used his ring finger to push the middle of his lips up, finally putting together an extremely funny expression. "See? That's the expression!" Hua's eyes and mouth twitched together, but fortunately "Hua" focused on controlling his expression and didn't see this at all. Of course, Hua thought she was a person with a good temper, but seeing her image being changed so much, she still felt a little... not angry, but a deep sense of powerlessness - even if the person who did all this was a person who could be defined as "Hua" in terms of appearance and self-awareness. In fact... she always felt that something was wrong. That was the feeling she had been having since she was awakened in the clouds. If the memory in her mind was correct, she should have transferred her consciousness to the feather before her "death", which means that she was the real Hua.

This should have been the case.

But what "Hua" said in front of her was not completely unreasonable. Maybe it was just a "memory" she created subjectively to explain the legitimacy of her own existence?

No, it's not. Absolutely not.

She can still distinguish between memories and delusions clearly, but the memory that "Hua" has is more complete than hers. From this point of view, maybe she is the real Hua, which seems undeniable.

But how was she born?

Garuda's factor has extremely strong healing power. It is not an exaggeration to say that the spark is still alive and endless. However, her previous state was special. The fragments of the divine voice prevented her from using the Garuda factor's healing power to its fullest extent. To the extreme, and then repair the overwhelmed brain, we can only let the consciousness fall apart.

But after her consciousness left her body, it was not entirely impossible to say that the Garuda factor would instinctively continue to repair her body.

So the "Hua" in front of me is because the body senses the lack of soul, so it creates a new personality directly from the original memory, and it's not without...

She still remembered that both Otto and Mikael had given the same conclusion. Even if the Sixth Herrscher's power was used to reshape a body, new consciousness would not be created out of thin air. What the power constructed was just a body. Would the situation be different if the body itself was not a body constructed by power, but a real human body?

Hua hopes this is the case, but she actually knows better that there is another possibility, a possibility that is simpler and more reasonable but also more absurd and terrifying...

"Mikael, you really like to do unnecessary things... Even Sakura can do it, why... uh..."

Hua raised his hand and wanted to pat his face gently, but suddenly realized that the body in front of him was just an illusion created by Yu Duchen.

"Hua" still had that funny expression and deliberately turned his face toward her. In fact, only three seconds had passed.

The expression "Hua" makes is really ridiculous. No, after all, it is her face. If she is shameless enough, she can actually boast that she is cute. But in addition to this, there must be an absurd amount of comedy.

Just thinking about the more terrifying possibility, thinking about the guy in front of me who is as noisy as a child is actually...

The corners of Hua's mouth pursed downwards unconsciously, but the moment she made this action, she suddenly realized something——

"I see, you're talking about this expression..."

His brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes were firm, his nose would occasionally twitch along with his muscles, and the corners of his mouth were tightened while his lower lip was raised upwards - when all this happened on the fake face created by Yu Duchen, It is more real and natural than "Hua" who obviously has flesh and blood.

"Hua" naturally noticed this, and her face changed instantly - her lips curved upwards without emotion, her eyes and eyebrows narrowed into a crescent shape in an instant, and then she quickly turned around and pointed her back. Lihua.

After two seconds of silence, when she spoke again, she urged impatiently:

"Okay, okay! Don't worry about so much. You should quickly change back to your feather form. Didn't you hear so many footsteps coming up the mountain?"

"Well……"

Hua touched his temple with his index finger and said in a somewhat inappropriate way:

"Yu Duchen is the key to consciousness. I can make my existence at this moment so that only you can see it. In fact, wasn't that what we just did? The elder guarding the mountain gate didn't see me."

"This is not the point. Come back to me quickly!"

"Hua" didn't want to look back, so he could only put his hands on his hips and roar in a low voice.

"With all due respect, I can't understand your..."

"Who wants you to understand!"

"Hua" finally couldn't hold it back anymore, and her spiritual power subconsciously activated. Before Hua finished speaking, it turned into a feather and was caught in her hand.

But after thinking about it, she regretfully stroked the feather twice with her fingertips.

"Alas... Who said we are the same person? They say that people are more timid when they are close to home. Although it has only been a few years since we last left Taixu Mountain, we have experienced life and death... If you are watching from the side, I still feel a little embarrassed, hahaha..."

Holding his palm again, "Hua" raised his head, stepped up several steps, and happened to meet a group of people walking from the mountain gate.

"Hey! Is that Master Master? I thought it would be an old lady..."

"Master Master became a true immortal thousands of years ago. He must not age like the master!"

"But after all, she looks like a teenage girl... Is she too young? Is she mistaken?"

Su Chang, who was surrounded by everyone, suppressed the corners of her mouth. To be honest, as the head of Taixu, she was completely confused about the current situation. If the master just came back quietly, it would be easy to handle. Now that she was making such a fuss, the sea of ​​clouds in Taixu Mountain was boiling, and the disciples who were originally gathered at the training ground also rushed over.

If the master is still the same master, then it wouldn't be a bad thing for more disciples to see her, but now...

"Master head... is this person really the master... His appearance is no different from the impression, but... is there something wrong? In my impression, the master has always been... well... the master will definitely not be like this Ridiculous, right? Master, you are very familiar with the master, do you think she is really the master..."

The words of the gatekeeper elder floated into Suchang's ears without missing a word, and were transformed into a sigh with incomprehensible meaning.

How could she not know the question asked by the gatekeeper elder, and the question of the gatekeeper elder was also Suchang's question.

As the daughter of Qin Suyi, the seventh disciple of Taixu, the fifth disciple of Taixu, and the only disciple of Cheng Lingshuang, the former head of Taixu, Suchang's relationship with the master was not particularly close.

She also felt that it was not just her, but the relationship between several uncles and the master seemed a little stiff. Her mother and her master were closer to the master. So, to be honest, she had no fewer opportunities to see the master and communicate with the master since she was a child. How could she know the master less than an elder who was less than one-tenth of her age?

Just a glance from a distance, she almost dared to assert that the girl in front of her was definitely not the master.

Of course, this was not a problem of size and age. The master was just so small. If one day she grew up, people would doubt whether she was the real master. It’s just that when Master met people in the past, he would dress more solemnly to make himself look more mature. It felt as if he had suddenly aged ten years… and this Master in front of him… although her eyes and aura were not bad, for some reason, Su Chang could always feel a commonality from her, which she had never felt before.

But in the end...

"There is no mistake, this is the master. Under the perception of my Taixu sword energy, she did not use the power of spiritual perception to modify her identity in the eyes of others. Unless the master has a twin sister, or a miracle is born, the only explanation left is the clone. If you want to verify it, you can see if she has the corresponding memory..."

Before he finished speaking, "Hua" waved his hands high, and the heartless voice sounded again:

"Hey! Isn't that Xiao Sushang and Xiao Zhao? What are you two whispering about? You don't think that I, the dignified Chiyuan Immortal, am pretending to be some cat or dog, right?"

"No, I'm just sighing that people really need to go to the rivers and lakes more. Master, you have been out of the mountains for several years, and when you come back, you feel that your mental state is much younger... Even I am thinking, why not just find a successor and go to the rivers and lakes again!"

"Yes, yes..."

Sushang's response is comprehensive and natural, and the gatekeeper elder also echoed softly. But some of the words may not be unintentional, but most of the listeners may have opinions——

"Is that so... so that... I think that you two are still so young, there is no need to worry about this kind of problem! Oh wait... Xiao Zhao is already this age... I still remember the first time I saw you, Su Shang grabbed the back of your clothes, and you were still sleeping soundly..."

"Ahhh! Master, please stop talking!"

The gatekeeper covered his ears and screamed. Su Shang didn't care, anyway, she was not the one who died in society, but since the girl in front of her even remembered that memory clearly, it seemed that there was a possibility of sending out clones?

In any case, she couldn't ask too many questions in front of so many Taixu disciples, so she simply clasped her fists in a casual manner——

"The third head of Taixu Mountain, Li Su Shang, is here, welcome Master home."

The body leaned forward slightly, and the head also drooped slightly, but Su Shang did not wait for a response.

The wind blew a large amount of clouds and mist to the top of the mountain. Every breath was accompanied by a cold and damp feeling, but the sound of people around could not be heard. Perhaps all the bystanders held their breath involuntarily in this confrontation.

"Oh... This is bad. Alas... Mother, Master, I don't seem to be very good at acting... Is my distrust so obvious..."

"Hey! Su Shang!"

"Grandmaster, I'm here."

Su Shang was still a little self-blaming, but when she raised her head, she saw "Hua"'s somewhat tangled expression.

She kept scratching her hair, as if she was tangled, but no one knew what she was tangling about.

Until--

"Hey! Su Shang! Didn't you prepare any welcome ceremony for me?"

"Uh... Grandmaster, you came back suddenly... Our entire sect didn't prepare..."

"That's right..."

Although "Hua" nodded, anyone could see the disappointment in her eyes.

But the next second, this disappointment completely disappeared.

"Long live the Red Kite Immortal!" She suddenly raised her fists and shouted. "Long live the Red Kite Immortal!" The disciples present waved their fists excitedly, and under the interference of unspeakable power, they followed her and shouted hoarsely from the bottom of their hearts. "This... this is..." Su Chang turned her neck one by one, and saw the gatekeeper elder beside her tiredly covering his head and bending his body. After holding on for less than five seconds, her body suddenly straightened up, and her clenched fists hit the sky directly, and then burst out the second loudest shout in the audience: "Long live the Red Kite Immortal!"
