Selene kept searching everywhere, trying to find that person's aura, that person's trace, even just a little fragment, as long as she could find him, she would have a way!

Unfortunately, there was nothing there, only emptiness, a space where nothing existed, a space where even her voice could not travel very far.

An unprecedented sense of fear arose at this moment.

"No, he won't die so easily. You know his abilities. As long as someone remembers him, he can come back to life! Yes, as long as we find a way to pay the price, as long as I pay the price for his resurrection, he can come back."

Selene finished speaking as if to herself, and then immediately returned to the world, finding Bronya, who was restraining Seele.

"Bronya! Quickly recall Cheng Xing's matter!"

Bronya stared blankly at the strange creature that appeared before her. Although it had a similar body size to a human, it was a completely luminous object. It looked white, but it was actually very close to gray.

“Cheng Xing? Who is that? Bronya doesn’t know anyone named Cheng Xing.”

Bronya's words pierced Selene's chest like a sharp sword.

"Impossible! Impossible!"

Selene quickly looked at the cage where she was imprisoned, only to find that the cage was crystal clear and made entirely of blue crystals. You couldn't find a single flaw in those crystals.

Selene instantly arrived in that pure white space, only to see Kiana. Kiana from that world coldly surveyed the pure white space, then noticed Selene's arrival and said, "How long are you going to imprison me here?"

"Do you remember Cheng Xing?!"

"Cheng Xing? What strange question are you asking now? Why should I care about a human's name?"

The End looked coldly at Selene, who had lost all composure and was even on the verge of collapse in front of him. If he hadn't been snatched away by the consciousness of this world, he wouldn't be here in such a sorry state.

"...No! It shouldn't be like this. That guy shouldn't have blown up his own existence. He couldn't have done that! It's impossible!"

Selene's heart was filled with despair and fear at this moment.

Her feelings for Cheng Xing couldn't be described as complete love; more accurately, it was a kind of inexplicable reliance.

Our understanding of the world, our senses about the world, and even our feelings about various things all come from others.

And for me, the person I know best in this world is that person.

That person even helped him shed his role as a tool and gain his own will and emotions.

But he... he...

This was more painful than killing herself, far more unbearable for her...

fear.

Chapter 243: The Real Purpose

"Can't you try a little harder? Other kids always get over 90 points on their tests, but you only get 60 or 70 every day, staring at that stupid book all day. How will you ever have a chance to eat in the future?!"

"Hey bro, I'm really broke, can you give me a little more money? Just around 100 yuan, I promise I'll pay it back! What did you say? The money you borrowed last time? Oh, that? I'll definitely pay it back this time too, please help me one more time!"

"How old are you? Still watching cartoons all day long. Do you really think you can fly and fight like the characters in them? How childish."

"I think the format of this table is still a bit unsuitable. Maybe we can use the original version. Sigh, why don't you wait a bit longer and adjust this part again? Also, it would be best to go to the site and collect this data again to avoid any more mistakes."

"Are you even capable of doing this job properly? I asked you to run some data and you told me you couldn't find it? What are you even doing at this company?! If you can't do it, just quit and get out!"

It's so noisy. There are constant, inexplicably irritating sounds in my ears. Those sounds seem to penetrate the barriers of the world, and that irritating feeling, that feeling that's driving me crazy, is still so familiar and still so disgusting.

Cheng Xing opened his eyes and got up from the ground. Looking at the black version of himself holding a megaphone and standing in front of him saying those words, he felt a little nauseous and said, "Can you please not wake me up like this?"

"I was just testing whether your emotional module had been re-downloaded. Otherwise, if sacrificing so many dolls resulted in a lack of emotions in you, I might not have had time to say a few final words to you."

"You're such a jerk."

He and Cheng Xing turned around and looked at the towering, topless Imaginary Tree not far away.

“My mom used to nag me about these things all the time… but now it seems like I can really be like those characters in cartoons. Even her good-for-nothing son is about to become a great hero who saves the world.”

Just as Cheng Xing was about to say more, the guy next to him made a disgusted face and said, "Stop being so long-winded. I'm ashamed to be your clone. You're being too long-winded! Hurry up, the feigning death skill can't last long. It's certainly possible to temporarily fake death by deceiving the world and erasing our existence, but our time is also very short."

"Having deceived the tree and absorbed the fear from the gods, we're in better shape than ever before... wait, something's still missing..."

After speaking, the black Cheng Xing looked at his true form. His color was fading, and some of the things that originated from Cheng Xing were gradually returning to his original form.

"I originally wanted to say more, and maybe even curse you out a few more times, but in the end it all seems pointless."

"Go do what you've always wanted to do, you idiot."

A white plastic mannequin lay on the ground; it was a mannequin that many clothing stores use to display clothes.

Cheng Xing's hands were wrapped in a black substance, the black mist mixed with many red particles. He raised his hands, looking at the power contained within.

It contains a portion of its essence that it plundered from many world bubbles, the power that its main avatar obtained from this red plain, and the negative emotions that it separated to preserve.

At the same time, it also contains the sense of emptiness brought about by blowing up one's own existence, deceiving the world, and using that ability.

And...her fear.

This was his plan: to deceive everyone, to conceal everything, and to sacrifice the last bit of power he had gained in this brief moment.

The power of nothingness.

In fact, he should have mastered this power from the very beginning, but at that time he simply did not have the ability to understand it.

Now, I have returned to the state I was in when I first came into this world, a state where I do not belong to this world at all.

“Well… Tree, this time I’ve really come to find you, and…”

Cheng Xing pressed his hands hard against the trunk of the Imaginary Tree, and then his body turned into countless wisps of black smoke and drifted into the tree. His last words echoed in the space.

I will turn the world upside down!

The tree, which was fighting against the collapsing universe alongside the sea, suddenly stopped exerting all its strength. It felt that something unknown was happening to its body, as if something was forcibly drilling into its body and constantly reshaping the rules it had set!

Even that fool wanted to change everything!

Without any hesitation, the tree instantly withdrew its main consciousness and intended to kill and devour that foolish fellow.

Coco, where should I even begin? Why? Why can't I find that guy anywhere?

Why is it that no matter how I try to sense it, I can only feel a vague power transforming everything and constantly eroding everything, but when I try to find the source of that power, I can only feel emptiness?

What on earth is going on? What exactly happened?

However, although it was unexpected, the tree would not be defeated so easily. It would use its own power, no matter how illusory those abilities were. Even if it could not find the core, it would be enough to completely obliterate all the forces that were trying to change things.

As the tree was thinking this, it focused all its attention on its branches, doing everything in its power to completely destroy that force and prevent it from reaching the roots and causing even greater trouble.

But as a result, the tree also lost a lot of attention to its branches, causing some changes to the world above the branches that the tree could not originally pay full attention to.

Many things kept appearing from those worlds, and then, secretly and silently, they began to slowly move inward, starting from the thinnest branches.

If you were to come to the plains of that red desert, you might see that the tree trunks and branches, which originally looked holy, crystal clear and white, now have a strange and extremely unsettling color.

Change is beginning.

Chapter 244: The Fool's Audacity

Cheng Xing felt that his current state was very strange. He did not feel any intense pain or sadness. It was as if he was under anesthesia and was witnessing himself being surrounded by doctors for surgery.

He also witnessed his own existence disappear little by little, gradually transforming into that power that accompanied nothingness, constantly changing the appearance of the tree and altering the rules within it.

He witnessed himself gradually disappearing from this world, witnessing himself constantly stepping into the abyss known as the other shore.

He saw his original self. At that time, he thought it was just a small story simulating a thousand Herrschers, which would not cause much mental harm. But how could an ordinary person's mental state be normal after experiencing the life of a desperate person?

He also saw himself and embraced his own salvation, a salvation brought about by an amazing miracle. Otherwise, he really doesn't know where he would be now or what he would look like.

He saw himself die under the iron hooves of the Honkai Beasts, a truly humiliating and comical death.

He saw the towering tower standing amidst the wind and snow, the indifferent and blood-stained faces of those guys, and he saw himself immersed in the experimental chamber, his face contorted, half of his face a silicon-based beast face, and the other half a human face.

However, this face was always filled with either sadness or anger as it mocked and madly laughed at the person on the other side.

Those people had only indifference on their faces, but their eyes held an unyielding sorrow.

It was from that time that I started to wholeheartedly fight against the Honkai. I really don't want to see the same thing happen again, and I really don't want to see one group of people helplessly sacrificing another.

This is probably the beginning of my desire to be a hero.

His eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and the story became increasingly blurry. He knew that his consciousness could no longer hold on; it was impossible for human consciousness to completely alter the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

He had to relinquish all his consciousness, transform himself into a complete virus, and become a computational program devoid of emotion and memory. Only in this way could he withstand the nightmarish sheer volume of information.

Only in this way can he possibly achieve what he wants.

"I'm sorry, everyone... but you should all have forgotten me by now. I transformed all traces of my existence into power, combined with the ability to fake my death, and successfully deceived the world with lies, making myself a non-existent concept. Everything I changed will return to normal, everything I created will vanish into thin air, but very soon, I will be able to change everything, and restore that imperfect world..."

As he spoke, Cheng Xing's voice grew weaker and weaker, and his eyelids became so heavy that he could no longer open them.

After a few final seconds of silence, Cheng Xing finally opened his mouth slightly and said in a weak voice, "Become what we want..."

Cheng Xing's last consciousness also vanished at this moment. His power completely transformed into a kind of conceptual power, constantly splitting and growing on the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, continuously devouring the power of the tree, making himself stronger and more difficult to find.

At this moment, he completely transformed himself into a concept.

That's the concept he has mastered.

Dominate.

That's right. The concept that Cheng Xing has mastered has never been fear. Fear is only a part of his power. He uses the power of domination to master other abilities and to master the power of fear that he possesses.

He knew from the beginning that he could never become the real Federico, never completely lose his fear, and never perfectly master all fear, so he never thought of becoming a scarecrow.

He is the Lawbringer of a Thousand People, he is those weak prayers, he is those profound despairs, he is the self-abandonment, fear, despair and helplessness that people have generated in the collapse and confrontation since ancient times.

He started out as a single person, gradually gained the people in a laboratory, and then in the next civilization, he had people in several cities.

Now, having spread across countless world bubbles and absorbed the power of too many worlds, I have gained the power of too many people.

And all of these people died tragically because of the collapse...

He incorporated everything about all the puppets into himself, completely transforming himself into a concept called domination, which then eroded the vast tree of imaginary numbers.

This plan was so insane that even the system, upon learning of it, felt that this guy had no idea what he was doing. Could a consciousness at the multiverse level be so easily corrupted?

However, he elevated his life to a form closer to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, a form of a corrupted god... and then completely abandoned his consciousness, transforming himself into the purest existence, which is the most difficult thing to deal with.

Because when everything is abandoned, the concept of nothingness is also dominated and controlled.

At this moment, the concept of domination is constantly eroding and dominating. This enormous number, even if it is very small and very slow, is untraceable and unstoppable.
