Chapter 111 World Line Reset Short Story: Death of Herzog (Part )
Occasionally, lightning would tear through the clouds, illuminating his tense and somewhat ferocious face.

Koji Tamaki’s old song “Friend” was playing on the car stereo. Lu Mingfei turned up the volume to the maximum. The love song that was so delicate and sad boomed in the rain, like angels singing hymns together at the end of heaven.

Lu Mingfei really didn’t want to listen to such a sad song. He was going to save people with his army. He had to listen to some majestic songs so that he wouldn’t be afraid or think about it.

There are many things in life that you don’t need to think about, and many accounts that you can’t calculate. What the hell do you think about? Just go for it! How can it not be a lifetime? Like fireworks, it’s also a lifetime, like cherry blossoms, it’s also a lifetime, as long as it shines and blooms, isn’t it good enough?

Also, don’t do things that will make you regret, and don’t make those who love you sad, because in this world, there are few people you love, and there will definitely not be many people who love you.

To be honest, he was almost exhausted, gasping for breath, and felt that the front of the car would lose control at any time and take him off the cliff. So he had to listen to music and sing along loudly to keep from losing his mind.

Damn it! I have to hold on a little longer… Through the panic-stricken Tokyo tonight, through the silent mountains, running forward in the sea, rain and wind, I must catch up!
The rear tire slid on the slope with a sharp scream, and the headlights swept around like a high-speed rotating clock. Finally, the Lamborghini crashed hard into a tree, the radiator cap cracked, and white steam sprayed in all directions.

On the driver’s seat, the airbags that were originally tightly tied had now all popped out, like flowers that bloomed in an instant, but with a somewhat ominous omen. Under this sudden impact, Lu Mingfei’s head hit the hard steering wheel hard, and blood immediately spurted out, staining his face red and soaking through his clothes, looking shocking.

This violent collision seemed to drain all the strength out of Lu Mingfei’s body, and he was almost unconscious. Despite this, there was still a strong force in his heart supporting him, which was the deep concern for a certain girl and the desire to save her.

He tried his best to push open the car door that seemed to have become unusually heavy, and ran towards the mountain with staggering steps and swaying body, where was the girl he wanted to save at all costs.

Even though he knew in his heart that he had nothing and could do nothing at the moment, he just couldn’t stop. He felt that only by running at a speed that surpassed time could he reverse the tragic ending of the whole story.

However, fate did not seem to let him off easily. At this critical moment, a seemingly insignificant and unimportant detail went wrong. This mistake was like an invisible sword that pierced Lu Mingfei’s already fragile body.

This collision made his already serious injuries even worse. He felt his strength rapidly draining away, and his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, no longer able to support him to take the next step and fulfill his seemingly slim chance of salvation.

Is this really the end? Lu Mingfei’s heart was filled with reluctance and despair. He collapsed on the airbag helplessly, letting the blood and tears flowing from his head mix together and slowly slide down, blurring his vision and his perception of the world.

His consciousness began to become blurred and his body gradually lost temperature, as if everything was moving away from him, leaving only endless darkness and silence.

As Lu Mingfei’s consciousness slowly sank into endless darkness, all the intertwined world lines seemed to point to an irreversible end that night, and the inevitable ending of the story was approaching quietly like fate. The usurper, the ambitious existence, was about to drink the sacred and deadly blood of the White Emperor, gain a new life, embark on the road to deification, hold the supreme power of the White King tightly in his hands, and become the new master.

The price of all this is the tragic fate of the innocent girl, the White King’s Vessel. The fire of her life will be extinguished at this moment and turned into dust. This is the ending of the story that has long been engraved by the wheel of fate, like a heavy stone tablet, weighing down people’s hearts, and no one can shake it in the slightest.

Is it really impossible to change?
No, that’s not right! In this seemingly hopeless abyss, there is always a spark of unwillingness flickering quietly.

In the deepest part of Lu Mingfei’s vision that was about to fall into complete darkness, a faint golden light that was originally almost negligible suddenly lit up like the brightest star in the night sky, penetrating the heavy fog and illuminating the road ahead.

“Go ahead, be brave and do what you want to do, go save the person you want to protect with all your heart. Even if you are a loser in the eyes of others, please believe in your own strength.”

Lu Mingfei was in a daze and was confused. He seemed to hear his own voice whispering in his ear, but at this moment, he didn’t even have the strength to speak.

At this moment of doubt and confusion, the originally dim golden light seemed to be given life, and suddenly burst into dazzling light, like the rising sun, pulling Lu Mingfei back from the abyss of consciousness and waking him up instantly!
Lu Mingfei was startled and his body bounced off the airbag as if he was electrocuted. The previous powerlessness and fragility seemed to have never existed. Instead, an unprecedented force surged in his body!

However, this sudden power did not make him feel relieved. Instead, he closed his eyes tightly and covered his head with his hands in pain, as if it was about to explode. Countless strange yet familiar memories, like a raging flood, poured into his brain with overwhelming force. Every bit of memory was like a sharp blade, cutting his nerves, making him almost unable to bear it!
Not long after, the violent impact of the torrent of memories finally subsided, and Lu Mingfei’s headache slowly weakened until it disappeared completely, as if a long and violent storm had finally passed, leaving behind a peaceful sky.

In an indescribable trance, Lu Mingfei digested and absorbed the memories that came flooding in one by one. When all the memory fragments were integrated, he seemed to have crossed the boundaries of time and space and rediscovered everything he had experienced in another world and another parallel timeline of this world. Those past laughter and tears, challenges and growth, replayed in his mind one by one like a movie, making him feel deeply moved.

Finally, Lu Mingfei slowly opened his eyes that had been closed for a long time. At that moment, he seemed to have awakened from a thousand years of sleep, and his eyes were shining with unprecedented light. The eyes that were once described as “hiding a lion” had now completely gotten rid of confusion and fragility, and were replaced by a calmness and indifference like a mirror-like lake, as if he had seen through the prosperity and vicissitudes of the world.

He gently wiped the dried blood on his face with his sleeve, and then walked out of the wrecked Lamborghini. His steps were steady and powerful, and every step was so firm, as if he was announcing his return to the world.

He looked around, and saw a world covered in silver. Mountains and rocks were covered with silvery white snow, which looked so pure and mysterious. Silvery white silk was wrapped around the withered trees, as if a huge silkworm was spinning a cocoon in the mountains, wrapping the whole world in a layer of dreamy silver yarn. This scene was like a glass world far away from the hustle and bustle, and it was also like a scene in some ancient prophecy, which made people feel awe. “The sign of the awakening of the White Emperor… It seems that the usurper can’t wait to show his achievements.” Lu Mingfei murmured to himself. There was a hint of coldness and determination in his tone, as if he was ready to face all challenges.

In a flash, Lu Mingfei skillfully reached behind his back with one hand, and with the emergence of a golden light, a black iron stick with golden hoops on both ends suddenly appeared in his hand.

This is exactly his weapon – the Ruyi Jingu Bang!

He gently waved the golden cudgel in his hand and performed tricks with it skillfully. Every movement was so smooth and powerful, as if he had repeated this action countless times and it had become one with the golden cudgel.

Then, Lu Mingfei bent his legs slightly, and his leg muscles were tensed to the extreme. With a low roar, he shot out like an arrow from a bow, and rushed straight to the top of the mountain! His figure drew a gorgeous arc in the silver-white world, announcing his return and determination to the world.

“Little monster, wait for me… The Little Sage Equaling Heaven is here to save you!” Lu Mingfei muttered to himself as he soared into the sky.

……

“Great…great God! It turns out you are not dead yet!” Herzog left Gen Chisei on the dissecting table and stumbled towards Eri, holding a black wooden stick tightly in his hand.

Eri was furious and roared at Herzog with a deafening roar, and the whole stage was swept by a strong wind. But Herzog banged the clapper fiercely in the strong wind, and the sound of the clapper made Lu Mingfei tremble. The expression on Eri’s face switched rapidly, sometimes she was the girl Lu Mingfei was familiar with, and sometimes she was the furious king. At this moment, her expression was so scared that she wanted to cry, and the next moment she showed the anger of a king. Herzog mustered up the courage to approach Eri, his eyes full of greed. When he approached within three meters, Eri still did not attack him, but hugged her head in fear like a child. This action finally gave Herzog great courage. He pounced on her, threw Eri to the ground, and tore her skirt open, revealing her snow-white back.

As Herzog tore her body apart, Eri became naked, and her youthful and graceful curves looked frighteningly beautiful. But at this moment, what Herzog cared about was not her beauty, but the scorpion-like thing crawling under her skin.

“What a great life! What a great life!” Herzog hugged the naked Eri tightly in his arms, “How can humans kill you?”

When no one noticed, the originally dead god or holy remains began to move again. It was just a scorpion-like dry bone, but it was able to crawl in the blood and bite a hole in Eri’s back and drill in.

It realized that the perfect host was right in front of it, and Eri was the container prepared for it. It opened its eyes again with the help of Eri’s body, and just as it let out a king’s roar, it was interrupted by the sound of a clapper.

Herzog was so excited that tears streamed down his face. He kissed Eri’s lips and lifted her up to the sky, as if offering a sacrifice to some supreme god.

“This is the day when the road to Hades is connected!” He stood up, and walked away from Eri step by step, retreating back to the side of Genji, “My student, hold on and don’t die. Use your mortal eyes to see this great scene, otherwise you will die with regrets!”

Genji was completely stunned by the scene before her. Thin white threads grew out of Eri’s body, exactly the same as the white threads that emerged from the bottom of the well when the Yamata no Orochi awakened. Those white threads extended from her delicate nose tip, chin, hair ends, and fingertips, and connected with the surrounding white threads.

She is like a doll that has been abandoned for a thousand years, with spider silk hanging all over her body, but the reality is just the opposite. A vibrant evolution is taking place in the cocoon made of white silk, and the genes from the White King are transforming her body.

Herzog didn’t want to stop it at all. He went through a lot of hardships to get the Holy Relics, but gave the opportunity to evolve to Eri.

“You didn’t expect it, did you? What you’re seeing now is the core of this plan. The man named Bondarev has already thought of a way to open up the evolutionary path, but he just hasn’t had the chance to put it into practice.” Herzog praised softly, “The Holy Relics are the parasites left by the White King. Although the things it parasitizes can evolve into dragons, their consciousness is also taken away. They just give up their bodies to help the White King revive. How could the White King help humans? It is the supreme dragon king, and humans are as lowly as dust in its eyes. If you want to retain your consciousness and evolve into a dragon, you can’t let it parasitize you. You have to use another container for the Holy Relics to parasitize, and then exchange blood with the pregnant White King. The king’s fetal blood has the strongest activity and the weakest toxicity. It is a panacea.”

“She was born… to be a container?” Yuan Zhinv stared blankly at this tragic scene. Sometimes the roar of a giant dragon could be heard from the cocoon, and sometimes the wailing of a girl could be heard. Her soul was imprisoned at the bottom of her consciousness, and she cried alone.

“Come on, let’s add some nutrition to the newborn White King. The precious royal blood must be what the White King likes. Your genes will help to complete the White King.” He put the dying Minamoto Chisei and Minamoto Chinu on a small trailer and pushed it towards the incubating Eri. “I must say that you and your brother have been a great help to me. Without you, it would be difficult for me to control the fierce ghosts and the eight snake families at the same time, especially your righteous brother, who really believed in me. You also helped me find the well of hidden corpses. In the end, you became the nutrition of God. I am very satisfied. Eating a person’s value in this way is the elegant way of eating, otherwise it would be too wasteful!”

He pushed the cart towards Eri with all his strength, and the diffuse white silk pounced over like tentacles, surrounding Minamoto Chisei and Minamoto Chijo. Blood immediately flowed from their bodies towards Eri in the cocoon.

“It’s a pity that no one can share this last and greatest moment with me,” Herzog bowed pretentiously to all sides, “Ladies and gentlemen, you will witness the arrival of a new era! An era in which you are enslaved!”

He was so proud and happy that his villainous face was completely exposed, and he scratched his ears and danced around like a monkey.
