Chapter 28 The starlight remains the same, and she is as she was yesterday.
……
In a dream.
Seele waded through the shallow water, her steps still light and quick, humming a melodious tune as she did so.
I dreamt about her again.
Yun Fuyu was secretly heartbroken. Even now, he didn't know what his feelings for Xi'er truly were.
Walking hand in hand through the ruins, chatting and laughing in dreams—these were just the prelude to their friendship. But after she sacrificed herself, these memories became clearer and clearer in his mind. He couldn't help but think of Seele's smile whenever he saw a girl laughing.
Gentle, serene, and pure.
But Seele is already dead.
These are all dreams.
"Ugh."
Facing the "phantom" in her dream, Yun Fuyu had no desire to confide in anyone. After sighing, she lay down on the ground and closed her eyes to rest.
But suddenly, Seele's voice rang in my ear: "Hey, why aren't you saying anything?"
The tone was a bit strange, like that of the Herrscher, but it was definitely Seele's voice.
Yun Fuyu suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Xier, who was already kneeling beside her, staring at her with great interest.
"...Seele?"
"Well, it's me."
Seeing Yun Fuyu's incredulous expression, Xier suddenly felt a little embarrassed. As for the reason…
After the deceased Seele revealed the truth to Seele (Creation), she deliberately orchestrated a scheme. First, she lost because she didn't harm the Firemoth combatants. Then, she intentionally revealed a sliver of humanity to move Cloudbringer, only to then injure him, thus erasing any prejudice the Firemoth held against her. Finally, she staged a "suicide" to avoid having her body used for experiments…
To be able to come up with such a script in an instant and execute it flawlessly, the dying Seele really went to great lengths.
But as she said, the current "Seele" is the real Seele, the true Herrscher, both the original Seele and the Herrscher Seele. Helping Seele achieve this is also for her own sake.
(Originally, there was a human named Seele in this world, whom we call the Primal Seele. Then the Herrscher descended, and the Herrscher Seele was born from the consciousness of the Primal Seele. Both the Apoptotic Seele and the Creation Seele are consciousnesses born from the split of the Primal Seele and the Herrscher Seele.)
The consciousness of creation and the consciousness of death jointly govern the body, making them one person, yet they remain distinct in their own perceptions. If given the right opportunity, perhaps they could truly separate into two individuals, just like the Black and White Seele in the current civilization.
On the surface, however, Xi'er is the same Xi'er that Yun Fuyu knows, except that she might occasionally throw a little tantrum.
Xi'er has done so much, but upon closer reflection, she seems to have become the scheming second female lead in the book, deliberately setting up a scheme to make the male lead develop feelings for her. But thinking about it more carefully, it's true that Xi'er has feelings for Yun Fuyu. However, to say that Xi'er has any further thoughts is still a long way off.
As a result, fates became intertwined, and they inexplicably ended up in this situation. Seele had to rely on the clouds and rain to survive, which was also the reason why Seele felt embarrassed.
However, Yun Fuyu knew nothing about it. Xi'er suddenly appeared in his dream, seemingly not dead, and directly short-circuited his brain.
The Herrschers of the previous civilization could not be saved; this is an ironclad and universally acknowledged fact!
Seele quickly explained what had happened, omitting the part about her deliberately setting a trap, and also omitting the origin of Yun Fuyu that Seele had seen. She emphasized their intertwined fates, stating that she could only live by Yun Fuyu's side from now on.
"Because this resurrection is achieved through your life energy and soul fluctuations, our destinies are now completely intertwined."
Seele was a little embarrassed: "My consciousness is like a rootless duckweed. According to estimates, if I move away from your sphere of influence, I will dissipate completely in thirty days at most, and then be resurrected by your side after death."
The awkwardness stemmed from this inexplicable romantic feeling between them. While Xi'er's feelings were still vague, Yun Fuyu's were already beginning to show.
However, for the time being, the fact that Seele can be resurrected is a tremendous good thing! Yun Fuyu suddenly felt himself getting swelled up, as if he had many expectations for the future!
He rolled over and sat up, no longer lying around like a couch potato, and asked excitedly, "Seele, do you have your own body in reality?"
Seele: "Yes, I can use your power as a catalyst to condense it at any time."
Yun Fuyu was a little worried: "However, if you reappear, it may cause panic among other people."
After all, Seele is a Herrscher, and she "committed suicide" in front of everyone. Her reappearance is not a possibility, but a certainty, that will cause panic! Even Yun Fuyu, who was "whitewashed" by Seele, could be blacklisted!
Seele: "Hmm, so I have an idea. This time, the body I'm forming can have its age changed, and some details of its appearance can be slightly altered."
Before merging with consciousness, the dying Seele had already planned this. She intended to slightly alter her appearance, then deliberately hide at the site of the Honkai outbreak, disguised as a refugee, and be discovered and rescued by the Firemoth. Afterward, she would join the Firemoth and reunite with Yun Fuyu.
In this way, although there are still flaws, it can be said that this Seele is just a similar flower, and even if others have doubts, there is no real evidence.
Seele: "As for the name... Seele Vollerei, what do you think?"
Seele means mind or soul. Vollerei, on the other hand, means gluttony or greed.
'Perhaps it really is fate.'
The word "fate" flashed through Yun Fuyu's mind, but she stopped caring about it and simply kept these thoughts in her heart, focusing on the person in front of her.
"Seele Flair, a beautiful name."
He smiled and said, "Moreover, the contradictions in the past and present also conveniently cover up your original name. Although it seems like an attempt to cover up the truth, it leaves no evidence against you."
Most people in the pre-civilization did not have surnames, only given names. For example, Kevin's name "Kaslana" was something he chose after the pre-civilization was destroyed. Therefore, "Seele" is Seele's original name.
This plan doesn't need to be flawless; it only needs to be legitimate. That's enough.
Yun Fuyu also became interested and described her recent situation: "My talent is very strong, and it is said that it is comparable to Kevin's back then. I just asked Mebius to participate in the Fusion Warrior program. If it goes smoothly, my strength will increase a lot."
He suddenly realized something: "Even if things don't go smoothly, our fates are intertwined. Even if I die, I will be resurrected by your side, and there will be no danger."
Unless both of them die together, then it's hard to say.
Yun Fuyu: "In the records of the Fire Moth, you are the Sixth Herrscher, known as the Herrscher of Death. After all, at the beginning, only the power of death was revealed, and not many people knew about the power of creation."
"..."
"Oh right, your companion Honkai Beast, Great Free Heaven, is rated as a Dharma-ending-level Honkai Beast. It is said that this is because its power characteristics are very close to those of a Herrscher, and it cannot be contained within the ordinary ranking framework."
"..."
"Me? My next goal is to take command of a combat squad, so that I will have the resources to participate in the Honkai War."
"..."
"There's not much else to say. It's so boring in Moth Chaser. All I do is study and train. I don't know anyone, and I can't get along with anyone."
Only now, when they are with Seele, have they talked for a very, very long time.
At this moment, Yun Fuyu suddenly felt a little sad, but in an instant, all of it turned into the joy of Seele's resurrection.
He said, "Seele, congratulations on your resurrection... and welcome back."
You're very welcome!
Seele nodded emphatically: "Yes!"
