Chapter 194: The Prototype of the Honkai Dimension

In the vastness of space, how the beings of Earth perceived their fate was something that Selene neither knew nor cared to know.

Moreover, even if she could feel it, at this point in her life, Selene found it difficult to have any real emotional connection to their plight.

Floating outside Earth’s outer space, Selene gazed at the planet, now fully enveloped by a violet light curtain. Her crimson, diamond-shaped pupils remained devoid of any emotion.

The strength of most worlds, to a large extent, is proportional to the number of living beings and the vitality they possess.

But with the planet being ravaged by the Honkai, countless lives had perished, and the time had come to completely devour the Jackie Chan Adventures World.

“It is time.”

As soon as she uttered those words, a tidal wave of Honkai particles surged in response, flowing wildly through the galaxy.

With the time ripe, the violet curtain covering Earth gradually dissipated, and the Honkai fully merged with the planet. The Honkai Beasts had now become native creatures of the Jackie Chan Adventures World, eliminating the need for any more interdimensional teleportation.

Sensing Selene’s will, all the Honkai Beasts on Earth stopped their slaughter and knelt as if in worship.

Noticing that these white beasts had ceased their attack, the remaining humans across the world cried out in a mixture of hope and despair: “The monsters have stopped! God hasn’t abandoned us…”

“We survived!”

“Let’s get out of here, quick…”

“Wait… look at the sky!”

At that moment, how could the survivors fail to notice the strange movements in outer space? Their gazes shifted to the vast, unnaturally bright heavens.

In space, a blood-red “planet” was radiating a blinding light. Upon closer inspection, they realized that this “planet” seemed to have a bright golden outer ring and a diamond-shaped glow.

“Is that… the sun? No… it’s moving… the golden ring, the diamond glow… no, it’s… a pupil!”

It was only then that people noticed, as their vision zoomed out, that this was no crimson planet, but an unimaginably massive eye!

With the entire Earth trembling, the owner of this planet-sized eye finally revealed her full form.

She had seemingly drawn back from an infinite distance, and at this moment, her face was clearly visible to all.

Two blood-red eyes, paired with a face seemingly composed of galactic patterns, formed an immense visage far larger than the Earth-Moon system!

As people stared into those deep, nebula-like eyes, all traces of hope vanished. Despair, emptiness, numbness…

Thud~

“Oh, my God!”

“God, please have mercy on us!”

…

“The time is perfect; let’s begin!” Selene’s voice, as cold and emotionless as a cosmic god’s, somehow reverberated through the vacuum of space.

With a deep focus, following a faint but defiant fluctuation, Selene’s consciousness violently tore through all barriers, plunging into the void’s chaotic light.

Although the world core lacked consciousness and operated purely on instinct, it recoiled at the invasive and sharp aura Selene emitted, instinctively trying to flee.

But Selene was no novice. “This is the second one.”

With her vast consciousness forming a colossal hand, she grabbed the core tightly, ignoring its desperate cries, and mercilessly crushed it. “Devour!”

Her cold voice echoed through the chaos, reverberating in endless waves.

In the starry sky, as chaotic light erupted, the chaotic crown atop Selene’s head seemed to grow more solid and radiant.

“Ah… this feeling is truly exhilarating.” After consuming the world core, just like in The Walking Dead world, a strange, indescribable pleasure surged from deep within her, an addictive sensation that Selene couldn’t get enough of.

When she opened her eyes again, pure joy radiated from her very soul…

For the second time, Selene had reached a pinnacle in every aspect!

At this moment, all the development pathways and the structure of Jackie Chan Adventures World were laid out before her like a clear blueprint.

Now, even at the height of the ancient era, when the Eight Demon Sorcerers and the Eight Immortals reigned supreme, Selene could easily crush them all in one-on-sixteen combat.

“World mastery complete. Now, it’s time to merge the two worlds… and form a dimension!” Still intoxicated with power, Selene waved her hand, opening a gigantic, multi-colored space rift.

In response to Selene’s will, the vast solar system region of Jackie Chan Adventures World began to transform.

This had been her plan from long ago, to create a domain entirely of her own.

The Honkai Dimension!

The strength of the Honkai relies on the world’s civilization. The stronger a civilization, the stronger the Honkai, which would always surpass the world’s own strength by just a bit.

But Selene wasn’t one to remain passive. Rather than parasitically relying on a highly developed world and risking attacks from the heroes of that world, she decided it was better to construct a world of her own. She could be its ruler, constantly building and growing it by consuming other worlds as resources, allowing her to continuously increase her power.

In her vision, this territory would be akin to Dormammu’s Dark Dimension but also different in key aspects.

Similarities included the fact that nothing within it could escape its master’s notice, and its master held absolute authority within.

The key difference, however, was that this dimension would not be a weakness for Selene. Even after leaving the dimension, as long as no higher-level world oppressed her, her power wouldn’t diminish.

Since the upper limit of her strength rose with the civilization’s development, even if her dimension was destroyed, it wouldn’t matter. She could simply find another world and start over.

As an immortal being with near-infinite time, Selene had the patience to wait.

As for methods to develop the civilization and potential rebellions from its oppressed people? None of that mattered to her. The so-called “people” were nothing more than a garnish to Selene!

As long as this dimension still had civilization, living beings, or resources, Selene would have a constant source of power. She could never truly be destroyed, only weakened, sealed, or slowed.

At worst, her power would increase by just a gram per year. But even that was still growth!

With this mindset, it didn’t matter whether the inhabitants of her dimension hated or worshipped her.

Selene would do whatever she wanted!

What, the opinions of the people in the Honkai Dimension?

Hah! If she was in a good mood, she might grant them a bit of power, but if anyone dared cause trouble in front of her, they’d face immediate annihilation!

Of course, that was the worst-case scenario. Selene wasn’t some mindless tyrant. She wasn’t about to rule with a brutal iron fist.

She knew her position well—was she strong? Invincible?

In some ways, yes. But in others, no.

The reason for her smooth rise was simple: Selene always targeted worlds weaker than hers. Even when she entered a stronger world, she knew when to bide her time and never entertained daydreams of overnight dominance.

Although her power grew slowly, it did so safely, with minimal risk of setbacks or failures.

Step by step, Selene’s strength grew steadily, and she wasn’t about to risk it all by invading a higher-tier world prematurely.

Returning to her style of governance, Selene’s methods were far more refined.

Ideological branding, desire manipulation, lies turning into truth, conflict diversion, grand promises… she had plenty of tactics up her sleeve.

Absolute power was just the guarantee, a Damocles sword hanging over everyone’s head!

Her years of managing the Thousand-Year Empire hadn’t gone to waste.

Indeed, the foundation of the Honkai Dimension’s civilization would be modeled after the empire she had cultivated in the other world, where she played her loyal general game with Honest.

…

“Open!”

Crack!

As the ruler of the Honkai Dimension and the master of Jackie Chan Adventures World, with a mere thought, Selene removed all the world’s restraints.

In that instant, massive, vibrant rifts filled the solar system. Streaks of purple-red light shot across, connecting the entire solar system with Earth at its center.

The colorful rifts came alive, dancing wildly with a sinister glow, forming a pattern.

Amid the sound of shattering illusions, the universe’s space around the solar system, including Earth, seemed to be grabbed by a monstrous purple-red claw and forcibly pulled toward the enormous rift below.

Gulp, gulp~

The entire solar system, wrapped in transparent, spherical barriers, was slowly dragged into the boundless imaginary space, accompanied by ripples of purple-red light.

Throughout this process, the chaotic crown on Selene’s head, symbolizing her [World Master] and [Herrscher] authority, gleamed brightly, making everything proceed smoothly!

“It’s finally begun.”

With the transfer into imaginary space, Selene felt more in control than ever. Following her will, a vast region within the imaginary space was carved out.

Then, under her manipulation, the Sun hovered in the center of the designated area, while all the planets, except for Earth, including Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto…

“Not enough, more…” With a wave of her hand, the colorful rift reappeared, and under Selene’s will, The Walking Dead world was also fully dragged into imaginary space.

It soon followed the fate of the Jackie Chan Adventures World, its planets breaking apart and turning into vast amounts of “building material.”

With Selene’s world-shaping power, those materials formed into a sturdy barrier and landmass, creating the foundation that separated her designated Honkai Dimension from the endless imaginary space.

Since it was under her control, Selene didn’t bother with the usual planetary generation rules. She simply combined everything into a supercontinent.

“Let’s call you Honkai Continent,” Selene thought with some amusement.

Following her will, the vast land began to expand, forming tangible mountains, plains, oceans, rivers…

Pausing for a moment, Selene felt like something was missing. “Hmm, I need something majestic… my residence must be grand and imposing…”

Sensing Selene’s thoughts, a massive mountain erupted in the northern central region of Honkai Continent, rising rapidly from the ground amid violent tremors.

Its height and size defied the laws of physics.

In the physical universe, this mountain’s height would rival the diameter of the Moon.

As the mountain and land took shape, all the water from the solar system’s planets was placed around the central mountain, creating a vast ocean at its base.

In the sky, the purple light curtain expanded, blocking the intense solar radiation, while countless stars, galaxies, and nebulae were projected into the sky.

With no distinction between northern and southern hemispheres, Selene unified the day-night cycle according to Earth’s time.

After multiple experiments, Selene divided Honkai Continent into all of Earth’s climate zones, as well as several unprecedented, extreme environments.

“Whoo…” Taking a deep breath, Selene paused to recover. Despite being the ruler of two worlds plus imaginary space, with full control over world structure, this large-scale modification still took a toll on her.

Although she could quickly replenish her energy in her own domain, the constant draining and replenishing left Selene feeling uncomfortable…

After catching her breath, Selene turned her gaze toward the remaining blue planet. “Now, you’re the last one.”

Buzz—!

Unlike her rough dissection of the other planets, Selene didn’t dismantle the two Earths into building materials. Instead, she carefully peeled away the outer layers, like she was peeling a fruit.

Soon, the separated layers of the Blue Star were neatly stacked aside, while the remaining core was broken down and filled into Honkai Continent.

“Go…” Selene assigned each layer of the Blue Star to its appropriate climate zone.

Having completed everything, Selene, feeling drained, exhaled deeply. As she looked at the world she had built in the boundless imaginary space, she couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction. “The prototype of the Honkai Dimension is almost complete; all that’s missing is a foundational civilization to kickstart it.”

This was her masterpiece, and with a laugh, Selene said, “The fruit known as the Empire is almost ready to be harvested… Honest, you’d better not disappoint me…”
