Gao Fushuai’s question sent Hua Ling into deep thought.
Although he looked like Theresa, it didn’t mean he was stupid; on the contrary, he was much smarter than the big idiot next to him.
“We need to calm down now.
From the fact that the ‘itasha’ that sent us flying here left us a stable air bubble, we know it doesn’t want to kill us.”
“Heaven never seals off all exits; perhaps a solution is about to arrive.”
As Hua Ling said this, Gao Fushuai looked behind him in shock.
“Whoa, it’s really here!
A massive galaxy is crashing right toward us!”
Gao Fushuai shouted in terror.
Hua Ling’s expression froze as he turned his head and saw white dwarfs covering his entire field of vision, hurtling toward them.
Just as the two were about to close their eyes and wait for death, the numerous white dwarfs and neutron stars suddenly turned ethereal and passed through them.
When they hesitantly opened their eyes, they saw colorful scales covering their entire field of vision, engraved with countless profound inscriptions and silently burning with iridescent flames.
The two stared blankly as a single scale covered their entire field of vision.
They couldn’t imagine what kind of being had discovered them.
As ordinary people, they watched in trepidation as the figure seemed to realize something and began to shrink rapidly.
It shrank from an infinite volume down to a size of a thousand kilometers.
Only then did they realize what kind of existence had found them.
“A huge colorful dragon, and it’s an Yinglong from ancient myths!
Have we transmigrated to the Primordial World?”
Gao Fushuai asked in surprise.
“I think the most important thing is that it’s strange we weren’t scared to death seeing something so massive.”
Hua Ling watched as the giant Yinglong circled them, looking at them with its colorful draconic eyes.
“Hello?”
Hua Ling mustered his courage and asked cautiously.
For some reason, he saw the surprise of finding something interesting in that massive eye.
“Welcome to this universe, Little Cuties.”
“Hmm, you two seem to give me a familiar feeling, especially this little femboy.”
A majestic voice rang out.
Hua Ling’s face darkened instantly upon hearing the word ‘femboy,’ while Gao Fushuai held back his laughter.
“I didn’t want it to be like this either.
May I ask who you are?”
Hua Ling rolled his eyes at the tall idiot Gao Fushuai next to him; he had no choice but to act as the representative to negotiate with this being.
“Hmm, Immortal Dragon – Qin.”
“It’s rare to encounter something interesting.
I can grant each of you a wish and help you escape your desperate situation.
In exchange, I want ‘lezi’—that is, you must entertain me.”
The Aeon of the Immortal Dragon, Lin Qin, looked at the two tiny specks and communicated with them using divine sense with a smile.
He had arrived in this universe by chance; it seemed very similar to the world of Star Rail, but the development here seemed to mirror the game.
He wasn’t originally from this universe.
After surviving the Five Decays of Heaven and Man to become a Golden Immortal, he had gone next door to kill the Will of Honkai to settle his karma.
While passing through this universe on his way back to his own, he unexpectedly caught that unique hum, so Lin Qin came here and discovered these two fellow Earthlings.
What caught his attention most was that the femboy’s portrayal of Theresa was actually very accurate.
For Lin Qin, who loved causing trouble, this was entertainment that couldn’t be missed!
So, on a whim, he promised them each a wish.
At this moment, the perspective returns to Hua Ling and Gao Fushuai.
“Come, young man, do you crave power?”
The Immortal Dragon Lin Qin asked his question.
“No!
I crave dumplings!”
Hua Ling shouted subconsciously, then suddenly covered his mouth, feeling completely mortified.
Beside him, Gao Fushuai looked at Hua Ling in shock, with an expression that said,’So you really do crave being a girl.’
“I crave a system!”
Gao Fushuai shouted quickly.
He knew this was a supreme powerhouse—after all, someone who could play with white dwarfs and neutron stars like toys!
“Very well, as you wish.
A jumping Astral Express will arrive shortly to pick you up.
I should be heading back soon as well.”
“As you wish!
Transform!”
As Lin Qin’s words fell, a colorful radiance enveloped the two.
Lin Qin thought for a moment, saw the plastic Judah on Hua Ling, and decided to go along with it, turning it into the real Oath of Judah.
Not only that, since it was his old acquaintance Theresa, Lin Qin naturally fashioned a Herrscher Core of Binding and a Stone Mask.
He thought about how much fun it would be when Hua Ling held the Stone Mask and shouted about giving up her humanity, turning into the vampire Luna Kindred!
Furthermore, the Honkai Gene Vishnu was sealed by Lin Qin within the system Gao Fushuai had become, only to be unlocked once specific conditions were met.
Then Lin Qin looked at Gao Fushuai, who wanted a system, and granted his wish by turning him into one.
He bound him to Hua Ling and then turned Hua Ling into a literal Theresa, transforming the Celestial Hymn outfit on him into the real thing.
“Finally, I bestow upon you the Path of Permanence.
I look forward to seeing what kind of fun it will be when those Aeons sense the aura of Permanence from you.”
Lin Qin cast the colorful radiance once more upon the transforming Hua Ling, then withdrew gracefully, returning to his own universe.
Without Lin Qin’s concealment, some Aeons in the cosmic void immediately sensed the aura of Permanence on Hua Ling.
His massive figure vanished.
By now, Hua Ling had become a literal Theresa.
She slowly opened her beautiful azure eyes, feeling her brand-new body with confusion.
Looking down, she saw a pair of B-cup ‘dumplings’ pushing up her shirt, and her face instantly froze.
Then, with trembling hands, Hua Ling reached toward her lower half.
The imaginary ‘kun-kun’ was gone; instead, she felt something belonging to a girl.
The strange sensation made her face flush with shame.
“Um, a message left for me…
I’ve been bestowed the Path of Permanence?
So you were the Aeon of Permanence, but isn’t the Dragon of Permanence gone?”
Hua Ling was completely stunned.
At this moment, she noticed that Gao Fushuai had vanished, and she began to panic.
“Gao Fushuai, you big idiot, where are you!”
Hua Ling shouted in distress.
Despite her previous emotional stability, it was only because her best friend Gao Fushuai was there.
Now that she was alone, she was suddenly terrified.
[Ding!
Hua Ling, I think I’ve become a system…]
[Dammit, I wanted a system, not to BECOME a system!!!]
[And I’m bound to you.
There are even system objective missions.
Let me see.]
[Step one: Join the Astral Express.
Reward: Vishnu Honkai Gene.
Failure: Obliteration.]
“Ah???”
Hua Ling cried out in fear.
[Just kidding.
Failure means becoming space debris, keeping Kars-sama company.]
[But you really did become Theresa, and your dumplings are bigger than hers.
Not bad, not bad.
I’m quite satisfied (*^▽^*)]
[Since you’ve become Theresa, I should at least pick a name that complements you.
As everyone knows, Theresa loves Homu, so I’ll rename myself the Homu System!]
[Also, Hua Ling, you need to disguise yourself as Theresa, so you should change your name to Theresa too.
Otherwise, when that suspicious Old Yang gets suspicious…
my dear Hua Ling, you don’t want to become space debris and stop thinking, do you?]
Gao Fushuai, now the Homu System, spoke to Hua Ling—now Theresa.
Hua Ling felt a bit unwilling upon hearing this, but becoming Theresa didn’t seem so bad, so she could only nod in resignation.
“Fine then.
To avoid becoming space debris and stopping thinking, from now on, I’ll be called Theresa.”
Hua Ling said helplessly.
Since she was used to losing her dignity anyway, she accepted her fate ╮(╯▽╰)╭.
Space began to fluctuate in the distance.
A massive black steam train broke through space and emerged not far away.
Today’s beautiful picture.
This is what the protagonist Hua Ling, now Theresa, looks like.
Also, the Celestial Hymn outfit on her.
