"Human Emperor? What's that?" Lu Yibei looked at Chatterbox Girl and asked blankly, "Is Wang Meili the King of Survival, or a professional WAR3 player?"
Chatterbox Girl squinted at Lu Yibei, revealing an expression that said, "Son, your father is very disappointed in you."
"Uh... sorry, don't mind my trash talk, you continue, continue."
Chatterbox Girl withdrew her gaze from Lu Yibei, shook her head helplessly, and after a brief moment of contemplation, said, "In a narrow sense, any of the legendary Five Emperors can be called a Human Emperor, after all, it's just a symbol..."
"It's like titles such as 'Top Ten Outstanding Figures Who Moved Z Country'. There are Top Ten Outstanding Figures every year. You can't expect there to be only one Top Ten Outstanding Figure, right?"
Hearing this, Lu Yibei sensed something was wrong. "That's not right! In ancient times, the original meaning of 'Emperor' referred to a deity, and 'Human Emperor', also known as 'Tai Huang', the earliest record should appear in pre-Qin ancient texts."
"You haven't even talked about the earliest Human Emperor, how did you jump directly to the Five Emperors? Don't try to fool me!"
As a student of Chinese Language and Literature, during the winter and summer vacations each semester, the Teachers would list a reading list for students to choose from during the holidays.
Considering her current situation, Lu Yibei knew she would inevitably come into contact with various urban legend in the future, so when following the reading list, she deliberately chose some books related to myths, legends, and folk urban legend.
Although she read those books as if they were popular science books, skimming them without seeking deep understanding, it would probably be difficult to fool her.
Chatterbox Girl, "..."
Don't you know this?
Why bring up games?
Are you only happy after saying some trash talk?
Chatterbox Girl muttered in her heart, rolled her eyes at Lu Yibei, and said, "Because it's messy!"
"Since you know the origin of the term 'Human Emperor', you should also know that there is no definitive statement on who the Three Emperors are, right?"
Lu Yibei frowned slightly and nodded. Indeed, the records about the Three Emperors in ancient texts were quite messy.
In "Records of the Grand Historian: Supplement to the Records of the Three Emperors", it says they are the Heavenly Emperor, Earthly Emperor, and Human Emperor.
In the pre-Qin ancient text "Shiben", it says they are Fuxi, Shennong, and Huangdi.
In "Lüshi Chunqiu", it says they are Fuxi, Nüwa, and Shennong.
In some ancient texts, even Zhurong or Gonggong were considered one of the Three Emperors.
"Actually, in my opinion, this matter is likely related to the ancient mythical urban legend competing for Power among themselves, and the change in recognition and dissemination of them by later generations of humans as time passed," Chatterbox Girl explained.
"The former is difficult to study due to the distant era, but the latter is easy to understand. Take Shennong as an example, he was born with a human body and a bull's head, and was eight feet seven inches tall. How would ancient people record this?"
"Should they write 'your Grandpa's Grandpa's Grandpa was a Minotaur'?"
"No one would believe it! Plus, there was a severe lack of materials to write a biography, and they couldn't bring themselves to make things up, so they simply didn't record it in detail. With few people recording it in detail, over time, confusion naturally arose."
"..."
Speaking of which, are the numerous Minotaur warriors appearing on the internet now considered a case of atavism?
Lu Yibei thought secretly in her heart, but didn't dare to say it out loud.
Seeing that Lu Yibei was not speaking, Chatterbox Girl continued, "However, the Power or symbol of the Human Emperor became more certain during the Five Emperors period."
"The Three Emperors were still beings who were both divine and human, but by the time of the Five Emperors, they could almost be considered humans. The Power also fell from the level of a god-like spiritual leader and a symbol of national unity to the level of earthly Royal Authority."
"Judging from the incompleteness of Ms. Wang Meili's Power, this is likely the result of the Power being continuously inherited and diluted over time."
Lu Yibei nodded thoughtfully. "So the symbolic meaning of 'Human Emperor' is a leader with outstanding contributions to humanity? That's not right either, some Human Emperors didn't do few unpleasant things, did they?"
In a broad sense, Emperor Jie and Emperor Zhou could also be considered Human Emperors.
"Hmm..." Chatterbox Girl pondered for a moment and said, "Didn't I just tell you? In the beginning, Human Emperor might have referred to a specific urban legend, but over time, it has become a type «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» of Power. Since it is a Power, it can be inherited through bloodline, or by directly bestowing the Power."
"Who knows what the successor will do during the inheritance process? Therefore, it is possible for the successor to lead humanity to do anything, recuperate and multiply, instigate wars, trigger disasters, or even... destroy the world."
Hearing this, Lu Yibei raised her hand silently like a student asking a question in class. "Question!"
"Speak!"
"According to what you're saying, I should have inherited Ms. Wang Meili's Power within me, right?" Lu Yibei frowned and said.
Chatterbox Girl nodded, signaling Lu Yibei to continue.
"The core of the Demoness Seed urban legend should come from the witchs egg. The only remaining possibility is the core of the mythical urban legend. But..."
"Why would my mythical urban legend core be Nvba?"
"This... actually... haha!" Chatterbox Girl's expression became subtle, she hesitated several times, and whispered, "When you came into contact with Cuan Yang's descendant before, you should have heard from him that when he inherited his parents' Power simultaneously, his Power changed, right?"
Lu Yibei nodded. She was indeed surprised when she heard Mao Sanyou recount her life story at the time.
"To put it simply, this situation occurs because many urban legend around the world are intricately connected. When certain conditions are met, their Power will reorganize and transform into similar, or corresponding higher or lower level urban legend Power."
"The advancement of Psychic's Spirit Mark and the Eclipse Society's experiments to create high-level urban legend also utilize this principle."
Lu Yibei tilted her head, puzzled. "How does that relate to me?"
"This actually... originally... forget it, I'll just say it directly!" Chatterbox Girl took a deep breath and said, "Ms. Wang Meili's Power is already very incomplete. When it was passed down to you, it was highly diluted, only enough to give you extremely high Spiritual Energy potential, and it couldn't even manifest specific Power."
"To make the Power manifest, you must become a Psychic or a urban legend, and combine it with the Power of other urban legend to reorganize it into a similar Power." freёwebnoѵel.com
"And your potential Power not only doesn't reach the level of a Human Emperor, but even the Power of a Human Emperor's descendant is incomplete, until you devoured the witchs egg, and then reorganization occurred... You understand what I mean, right?"
Looking at Chatterbox Girl's strange expression as she winked, Lu Yibei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and then shouted in her heart, "Holy crap?!"
The number of legendary Human Emperor descendants is ridiculously large, and at first, there was no certainty about what kind of Power would appear in her body.

It wasn't until she devoured the witchs egg containing Lilim's Power that the two Powers influenced each other and created the current situation.
Among the large number of Human Emperor descendants, those who meet the conditions of being female, having both human and divine existence, and having fallen from a demigod-like existence to a banshee, are very few, almost certainly locking onto Nvba.
Thinking of this, Lu Yibei suddenly looked at Chatterbox Girl with unkind eyes and a gloomy tone, saying, "So... I didn't have to become a girl at first, did I?"
"Uh, you can think of it that way," Chatterbox Girl said, her voice noticeably weaker when she spoke, seemingly feeling a little guilty.
"I remember, at first, you guided me to devour the witchs egg, right?" Lu Yibei asked again.
"This... At that time, if you didn't devour the witchs egg, you would have died! Can you blame me? I was being kind!" Chatterbox Girl retorted.
Moreover, even if you could avoid the fate of being sacrificed by Miss Rabbit, you would eventually devour that witchs egg in another place, in a more painful and tragic way, this is something that cannot be changed... Chatterbox Girl added silently in her heart.
"I'm so..." Lu Yibei opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but then changed her mind, thinking that Chatterbox Girl's words made a little sense, and she felt a bit lacking in confidence to get angry at her. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
After all, she was almost dead at that time, and as an ordinary person with only Spiritual Energy potential and no combat power, it was impossible to escape from the basement of the resort hotel.
But...
Why didn't Chatterbox Girl appear for such a long time before I was attacked by Miss Rabbit?
If she had appeared earlier, she should have had a way to help me find other urban legend cores, devour or draw Spirit Marks, and then give birth to other Power within me, right?
Or is it that devouring the witchs egg was some kind of trigger condition, and only by obtaining these two Powers now can I establish some kind of connection with Chatterbox Girl? Lu Yibei thought.
She had always felt that Chatterbox Girl's existence was very mysterious, and it was possible that she was her own doppelganger or something, but she didn't dare to expose it before figuring out Chatterbox Girl's exact origin and purpose.
For the sake of profit, it's not impossible to harm oneself!
Moreover, can a doppelganger really be considered oneself?
Seeing Lu Yibei fall into a long period of contemplation and not speak, Chatterbox Girl patted her shoulder and said solemnly, "Little brother, I've explained what needed to be explained. The rest is about repairing your body, and you have to do that yourself."
Hearing Chatterbox Girl say this, Lu Yibei came back to her senses and slapped her head, saying, "Oh right, this is the most crucial thing. Without a body, I can't just wander around like a ghost, can I?"
"Speaking of which, becoming a GC Doctrine ghost, does that count as completing the human..."
"Stop! Stop!" Lu Yibei was halfway through her sentence when Chatterbox Girl quickly interrupted, "Damn it! Little brother, don't always say things that are easy to get 404'd, okay?"
"Sorry..." Lu Yibei whispered.
"It's okay, be more careful with your words next time!" Chatterbox Girl waved her hand and said, "Now, let's talk about the method of repairing your body?"
"What method?"
Chatterbox Girl curled the corner of her mouth, revealing a smile that made Lu Yibei feel uneasy.
"Eat, Invasion Beast!"
"Ah?" Lu Yibei was startled.
Are you sure that thing can be eaten?
At this moment, Lu Yibei suddenly felt that Chatterbox Girl might want to harm her.
