Just as Su Jue said to [Kiana], if he couldn't deceive himself, how could he deceive Honkai Will? Therefore, he deliberately used the puppet's ability to increase emotions to interfere with his feelings for Kiana, making her mistakenly believe that she really liked Kiana, and successfully deceived Honkai Will.
This trick is called concealing the truth.
Then he used himself, who was completely controlled by emotions, as bait, showing a bad attitude, to attract the attention of the Honkai consciousness. The boss would definitely intervene in the employee strike, so he deliberately guided the Honkai will to descend on himself, and then used his own emotional amplification to reversely imprison the Honkai consciousness.
This wave is called inviting someone into a trap.
Taking advantage of the deal with Otto, he looked for the backdoor connecting Kevin and Prometheus 17, temporarily blocking the perception of the subset by the Honkai Will cluster, cutting off the feedback and preventing possible accidents.
This is a method of closing the door and catching the thief.
However, Kiana alone is not enough to destroy the Honkai Will. So he deliberately used Moth's concern for his daughter to lead to the whereabouts of the Herrscher of the Sky, and then used Raiden Mei to attract Kevin's attention, and finally took away the children of Raven, deepening Kevin's vigilance against Changkong City, and finally let Kevin successfully confront him.
It was obvious that he was planning to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
He deliberately exposed his power over the Herrscher of Fire to allow Kiana and Kevin to deepen his identity as the Herrscher of Fire.
It can barely be considered a substitution.
Of course, a simple Herrscher cannot defeat Kevin. Su Jue uses his own defeat to bring out the Will of Honkai, and appears in the form of Tonatiuh to cause chaos.
It's obviously a trick to fish in troubled waters.
There is nothing much to say about the self-inflicted trick of actively absorbing the Shadow of the Sun. After using the power of the Honkai Will to trap Kevin, the control of the Honkai Will over Su Jue has actually been basically lifted. The final showdown with Kiana is also a borrowed knife to kill, using the Taixu sword energy to completely eradicate the interference of the Honkai Will on him.
When all the plans were completed, he faked his death and escaped perfectly.
The completion of the final plan means that Su Jue is completely free and will no longer have to worry about being controlled by the Honkai will. He will belong directly to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers. In a sense, he is the same existence as the Honkai consciousness created by the previous civilization using No. 17.
Of course, they are only of equal status. His strength is not too exaggerated. At present, when all the puppets are amplified, they are only about the same as Kevin in normal state. There is still some gap when he wants to touch the demon Kevin.
The only thing that worries Su Jue is his own lifespan. From the very beginning, his lifespan has always been the blade of Damocles hanging over Su Jue's head. Even if he becomes a Herrscher, he cannot lift this curse.
In the later stages of the plan, his lifespan was indeed shrinking, and was exhausted in the final battle, which means that Su Jue should indeed have died a normal death.
But now that his lifespan has changed from 1 to 0, Su Jue did not die, but his lifespan has become -1.
Is this triggering some weird world bug?
He didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. Based on his understanding of the plot of the Honkai world, Su Jue's ability to control the existence of Honkai was not weak, but the abnormal lifespan meant that the situation was unknown, which made him a little worried as he was used to keeping everything in his hands.
"It can't be that the Imaginary Number Tree deducted my lifespan on my behalf, right? For example, one day my lifespan went directly to the limit, and the Imaginary Number Tree withered?"
This absurd idea only stayed in Su Jue's mind for a moment before he threw it out of his mind. After all, the Tree of Imaginary Numbers was the origin of the world. If even the Tree of Imaginary Numbers was affected by his curse, it would be too horrifying.
[In the unknown space, the Aries and the wolf in the state of nothingness howled faintly, as if responding to something.]
In short, my identity as the Herrscher of Fire has come to an end, and I have finally understood the entanglement with Kiana. She, who has inherited the Fire Flame, should have embarked on her own path, and I will be forgotten after a while.
Things are back on track, and Su Jue can continue to happily carry out his schemes as the Ruler of Domination, which is cause for celebration.
Now there are only some remaining finishing touches that need to be completed, and the props that have been used also need to be destroyed to avoid being discovered by the people of the World Snake. After all, for Su Jue now, most of his actions still need to rely on advance knowledge of the direction of the world, and changes that are too drastic are likely to bring trouble to himself.
For example, Fu Hua used her own dissipation to bring Kiana the enlightenment of the Taixu Sword God. Once Fu Hua really died, let’s not talk about how the Herrscher of Consciousness would deal with it. Kevin would definitely be more extreme. Moreover, she had many secrets that even Su Jue didn’t know, so she naturally couldn’t die so easily.
The original Yu Du Chen of Taixu Sword God could no longer bear Fu Hua's consciousness, but Su Jue had another Yu Du Chen from Bronya, so it was not difficult to retain Fu Hua's consciousness with his own power. He could even try to use his power to invade Fu Hua's consciousness and control her.
But thinking about the stupid treasure hunter in the original world line, Su Jue felt that it would be better for him not to do this. All the thousand lawyers in the world share one brain, and he didn't want to have only one thousandth of the wisdom.
As for Ji Zi, she is of little use to Su Jue now, so he might as well let her go to attract Kiana's attention.
There is also [Qiana], who is still in the hands of the World Serpent. After completing Su Jue's mission, she was happy to die and was frozen into an ice sculpture by Kevin. However, Su Jue promised her that as long as he didn't die, [Qiana] wouldn't die, so it was considered a state of suspended animation.
The Ink Moth doll that caused the trouble has been destroyed, and in order to avoid accidents, Grayshu is also trying not to appear again. The Qianjie doll and the Kosmo doll whose injuries have been repaired can be used, but Su Jue obviously has more options.
Taxue, who had not been seen for a long time, fell into Su Jue's hands obediently. He gently rubbed the cat's head with a comfortable expression. The good thing about clones is that you can touch yourself.
As Su Jue rubbed it gently, the black and white snow seemed to fade, gradually turning from black to a light brown round cat.
"Okay, now let's give you a new name, like - Can?"

Chapter 242 Li Sushang
"Dear customer, welcome to Sky City. This is a city reborn from ruins. There are new changes every day. We yearn for justice and peace, and protect the safety of every citizen in this dangerous world."
The huge civilian transport ship landed safely at the designated airport. The gentle broadcasting voice echoed in the ears of the tourists in the cabin. People curiously looked through the windows of the ship toward this city known as the City of Flame.
There are gorgeous lights everywhere, and new technologies that have never been seen before connect the entire port in an orderly manner. Although it is a busy airport, there are very few staff members, and most of them have been replaced by complete civilian robots.
"Wow!" Children's cries were heard in the cabin. Li Suchang, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the sound. She subconsciously looked out the window and suddenly found that a huge blue whale jumped out of the city, drawing a graceful arc under the moonlight, and then fell into the city, splashing countless water.
"Such a huge monster!" Frightened by this scene, Li Suchang subconsciously wanted to take out his sword, but he immediately realized that his sword was still in the transfer place.
The girl's panicked movements attracted the attention of some children, and some of the brave ones burst out laughing. "Big sister, that's not a monster, it's a virtual projection of Sky City, super cool."
After saying that, the child puffed out his chest proudly, as if he looked down on the ignorant Li Suchang. But in fact, it was only the second time for him to come to this kind of city with his parents, and he was much more surprised than Li Suchang when he saw it for the first time.
Thanks to the Internet today, there are many fantasy works on TV, even if you haven't seen them. Li Suchang, who had just been awakened by Otto, naturally had never seen them.
After being lectured by the child, she blushed, but quickly came out of the embarrassment and watched the virtual projection performance curiously.
"Is this the world 500 years from now? That's amazing."
"The transport ship has docked safely. Passengers please leave the ship in an orderly manner. Passengers who have checked luggage please follow the guidance robot to the transport point to retrieve personal belongings."
Li Suchang was attracted by the projection and was completely immersed in it. She did not walk out of the ship's hold until the staff persuaded her to leave, full of curiosity.
"It is unimaginable that a carriage of this era could travel in the sky."
With excitement flashing in her eyes, Li Suchang carefully stepped onto the moving elevator. It was her first time touching a surface that moved on its own, and she was afraid that she would fall.
Fortunately, the intelligently controlled elevator was quite stable and carried Li Suchang safely to the airport.
"Passenger 033, please show your ID and take your package."
"Identity proof?" Li Suchang rummaged through the pocket of her clothes, took out a jade badge and handed it to the guiding robot, but the robot did not respond.
"Little girl, it refers to your ID card." It was a passerby next to her who told Li Suchang that she remembered that before she left, Otto handed her a small card and told her that it was his ID card.
In the era when Li Suchang lived, identity proof mostly required special waist cards or tiger talismans, and different types of waist cards were required for different regions. But now you only need a small card to travel around the world, which brings Li Suchang a completely new experience.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Coachman." After thanking the robot, Li Suchang successfully retrieved the sword from the consignment.
"You're welcome, Ms. Li." The robot responded gently.
Seeing Li Suchang actually talking to the robot, passers-by couldn't help but laugh.
But he didn't know that under Su Jue's new regulation, the new Sky City had changed the social atmosphere of clear class distinctions and indifference, and even the ubiquitous artificial intelligence was full of humanistic care. It was difficult for outsiders from other cities like this to appreciate the true charm of this city.
After leaving the airport, the whole city showed its exquisite charm. The world 500 years later broke into Li Suchang's vision, bringing her unparalleled shock.
A city of science and technology, a new capital.
The technology stolen from anti-entropy will be widely used by civilians, and various scientific and technological equipment will no longer be monopolized by oligopolistic companies. Everyone will have the opportunity to come into contact with the new era, and everyone will have new hope.
"It's the whale from before." The whale created by the virtual projection leaped into the sky again, just like the Kunpeng in the myth. However, this time the whale did not fall directly to the ground, but swam in the sky, turning into starlight to create a new picture.
"Bright stars, golden songs. Miss Eden's solo concert [Golden · Brilliant Songs] will be held at the Sky Dome Center venue on June 6. We look forward to your participation."
There was no doubt that this was a promotional advertisement for a concert, but Li Suchang had never seen an advertisement before. The only thing that could be considered an advertisement was the hawking at the stalls in the neighborhood.
The cost of this kind of virtual projection advertising covering the entire city is astronomical every second. Li Suchang is not aware of this. She just stares blankly at the woman with long burgundy hair in the sky, wishing that she could appear there one day.
"I'm so envious." Unfortunately, even though she was envious, Li Suchang still had some self-esteem.
In that era, although the knights looked free and easy, only those who actually came into contact with them would know how difficult their lives were.
During her time in the martial arts world, Li Sushang had also experienced the days of having no food to eat and not having a penny in her pocket. It was a bit too much for her to want to show her image on the projection.
After a sigh, Li Suchang quickly adjusted her mood. Everything in this era was filled with indescribable attraction, and she couldn't wait to embrace this era.
……
"Shopkeeper, I want to play this, is it okay?" Li Suchang, who had been strolling around for a while, was quickly attracted.
"Uh, this..." The boss was a middle-aged man. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with some embarrassment at Li Suchang's request.
"What's wrong? Do you need money? I should have a lot in this card." Li Sushang took out the [Supreme Card of Destiny Store] that Otto gave her before leaving, and looked at the boss curiously.
"Ah, that's not the reason." The boss looked at Li Suchang hesitantly, and finally sighed and turned on the machine for her.
So, under the surprised gazes of many children, Li Suchang sat in the narrow rocking car.
What's your dad's dad's name?
Dad's dad is called grandpa~~
Amid the sound of such music, Li Suchang was completely unaware that this was a game for children. She curled up in the rocking car, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Mom, I want to play this too." The children who were attracted by Li Suchang pulled their parents' hands and wanted to play. The boss was very happy to see this. With so many children, he could earn a lot of money. He was secretly glad that he had let Li Suchang play.
Li Sushang, who was having a great time, didn't notice the eyes of the people around her. She bought a string of candied haws from the store, which was a snack she wanted to eat when she was a child. However, she didn't have money at that time, and she had a chivalrous heart, so she could only watch others eat it with pain.
However, in this era, candied haws are much cheaper than Li Suchang imagined, so she bought two strings without hesitation.
"Well, this trip has cost 60 yuan. Is that a lot? Will I be able to pay it back when the time comes? I hope the Russians won't cause trouble for me." After calming down, Li Suchang looked at the candied haws in her hand and felt a little worried.
She had no idea what the prices were like in that era, when sugar was a rare commodity, and everything now seemed extremely expensive.
Li Suchang is a knight and doesn't want to work for Otto all his life.
I held the card in my hand up to my eyes. It was amazing how such a small card could buy so many things.
Li Suchang was focusing on the card and not paying attention to the front. Just as she turned the corner, a running figure appeared and the two of them bumped into each other unexpectedly.
The two lost their balance and fell to the ground. Li Suchang herself was fine. She looked at the gray-haired boy she had knocked down with some concern and said, "Help, I'm sorry, are you okay?"
Chapter 343: Old Tricks Again
"Hmm." Covering his arm, the young man sat up from the ground. He looked at Li Suchang, with a barely perceptible surprise flashing in his eyes, as if he was surprised that the person who knocked him down was a cute girl.
Facing Li Suchang's concern, he just shook his head without saying anything, and tried to stand up from the ground. However, when he stood up, he accidentally touched his arm and stumbled and fell to the ground again. Only then did Li Suchang find that the boy's wrist was scratched a little, and blood was oozing from the wound.
"Don't move." The other party was injured because of her. Li Suchang, who claimed to be a knight, would naturally not sit idly by. She took out the handkerchief she carried with her and simply bandaged the boy's wrist.
The boy tried to break free from Li Suchang's grip, but found that the other party was much stronger than he had imagined. He could only stammer, "Thank you."
"Oh, this is what I should do. In the martial arts world, saving the dying and helping the wounded is the chivalrous way." The young man's thanks made Li Suchang feel a little flattered. She patted her chest carelessly and pretended to be indifferent, but the smile on her lips was almost reaching her ears.
However, the interaction between the two ended there. The young man seemed to remember something. After Li Suchang finished bandaging the wound, he stood up hurriedly, thanked her in a low voice, and left quickly.
"People come and go in a hurry, this is the world of martial arts." Looking at the young man's back, Li Suchang sighed in her heart, but soon retracted her gaze. The encounter with the young man did not affect her.
"Do one good deed a day. It's getting late now, so we should find an inn to stay first." The bright moonlight shines on the city. Today, Tianqiong City is no longer the city that never sleeps with bright lights and wine. In order to take care of the work and rest of ordinary people, the lighting is restricted.
Walking in the city, the bright moon and stars without any light pollution are clearly visible. If it weren't for the bright street lights, Li Suchang would feel like she had returned to that clear time.
She followed her own shadow, holding a paper map in her hand, and struggled to identify the complicated road. She had asked the owner of the rocking car shop before, and he said that she could stay there as long as she found a hotel.
"Hotel? Is it a place that sells alcohol? What does this have to do with an inn?" Although she was confused, Li Suchang still found the hotel according to the instructions on the map.
The hotel receptionist was also a little surprised to see Li Sushang with such a unique look, but it was normal for some special guests to appear in the emerging Sky City. Just half an hour ago, she also received a white-haired girl who looked very similar to the magical girl Kiana.
"Shopkeeper, is this an inn?"
As soon as Li Suchang opened her mouth, the young lady was almost confused, but she quickly realized that this might be a disciple of the sect who had never traveled far.
"Yes, both dining and overnight stays are possible. Do you want to check in?"
"Ah."
"Then please show me your ID card and I can help you with it."
With her previous experience, Li Suchang naturally knew that the proof of identity was not a waist badge. She reached into her pocket and prepared to take out her ID card.
But soon her expression froze on her face, and her pockets were empty, with nothing in them.
"Oh no! My ID card is lost." Her face was pale and she searched for it over and over again. She knew that she could not go anywhere without her ID card.
The lady who noticed Li Suchang's actions was also very diligent and quickly said, "Don't panic, customers. It's common for ID cards to be lost. We can also provide facial recognition here."
She brought Li Suchang to the facial recognition machine. Li Suchang blinked curiously and looked at herself on the instrument.
"Authentication failed, no relevant information could be found."
"Oh, this. This shouldn't be possible. Maybe the machine is malfunctioning. As long as people have participated in the population registration, there should be records in the database." The young lady tried to debug the instrument, but Li Suchang was secretly worried. She was a person who lived 500 years ago, so there would be no population registration.
In fact, Otto certainly would not forget to apply for complete identity information for Li Suchang. The reason why the instrument could not find it was that someone secretly tampered with it and made the humanoid machine temporarily block Li Suchang's identity.
