Esper X Family – Chapter 583 – A Brief Childhood

This newly born consciousness was indeed like a clean, blank sheet of paper.

She had no human cognition and, for the time being, no human emotions.

She didn’t need the care and attention a newborn infant required.

She could communicate right from the start.

“What does ‘Mom’ mean?”

A confused voice echoed deep within Ye Yao’s soul.

“This is tricky. Looks like I’ll have to teach her a few things. Can’t play around just yet.”

Ye Yao continued exploring the functions and finally saw the interactive option for “Education”. It allowed her to instill her own understanding of values, worldview, and outlook on life into the newborn consciousness.

It was essentially a specialized curriculum, complete with examples drawn from Ye Yao’s own experiences for reference.

There were no shortcuts to instant results, just plenty of raising elements.

Even though the consciousness born from【Fission】would grow rapidly, it would likely still go through an unforgettable “childhood”.

Just as Ye Yao was thinking about how to be a “Mom”.

That hesitant voice echoed through her soul once more.

“Who am I?”

This was undoubtedly a chance to shape her self-awareness.

Unlike a baby who needed to go through a period of chaos and rely entirely on instinct, she already seemed capable of thinking right after awakening.

She had completely skipped the most troublesome stage.

Ye Yao chose to communicate with her again.

“You are the physical manifestation of the world-ending ability【Fission】, an inanimate concept turned into a living being. And I, Ye Yao, am the one who gave you consciousness.

Although your core programming is to destroy the world, from now on, I will correct your instincts. Get ready to be corrected by me!”

She didn’t hide a thing, bluntly laying out her situation.

Ye Yao applied pressure without hesitation.

To be honest, putting pressure on a newborn consciousness might be a bit shameless.

But this was the consciousness of a world-ending ability, how could she be treated like an ordinary person?

A mere cup has no human rights to speak of!

Moreover, she didn’t even have a body yet, not even qualifying to be a cup.

“Ye Yao…”

After Ye Yao gave her self-awareness, a murmur tinged with a hint of attachment stirred faint ripples.

Clearly, the identity Ye Yao had set was taking effect.

This might guide her cognition in certain directions.

Could anyone really have a bundle of contradictory identities like “lover, pet, toy, cup, etc.” all at the same time?

Ye Yao checked briefly, and the system said it would indeed develop in the directions she hoped.

Now she was getting excited!

“Looks like I’ll have to raise her properly. Since I can’t just release her, I might as well think of her as a forever-shared destiny.”

Ye Yao prepared to teach her about this world.

If it could be done like a galgame, that would be much easier.

She glanced at her remaining attribute points. There were 190 left, not enough for anything else. She would save them as hidden backup.

Ye Yao got up from Sen Tong, stretched, and walked outside.

The “Rivalry of Two Weaklings” seemed to have ended.

That meant Xia Lian had won.

As for which Xia Lian, it was definitely not the standard one.

“White Catty, someone’s bullying me~”

Standard Xia Lian was about to pounce on Ye Yao when the parallel Xia Lian grabbed her, keeping her firmly in check.

“Shameless fool! You don’t get to love the cat. Only the strong can possess good cats. Can’t you see the disgust in White Catty’s eyes?”

“Like you’re not disgusting yourself!”

The two weaklings started hissing at each other again.

Sure enough, only they could handle themselves.

If they kept targeting each other, Ye Yao would happily enjoy the peace.

But once they started cooperating, she would be in trouble.

While the two argued, Ye Yao swaggered past, pretending not to see them.

On the other side, Mu Luo and the others seemed to be having a pleasant time. That was what normal communication looked like!

Now, all that was left was to wait for the arrival of the interstellar stray dog.

As time passed.

Lou Wei had spent some time in the parallel world and wasn’t in a hurry to find a way back to the original world.

The biggest reason was that Ye Yao was here.

As long as Ye Yao remained in the parallel world, Lou Wei could stay forever.

During this time, Lou Wei had also been putting pressure on his counterpart.

After all, no matter which world, the interstellar overlord was a formidable enemy.

To minimize losses, they had to muster even greater combat power than the other world.

First, they had to prevent those alien warriors from reaching Bluestar.

If they could wipe out all the grunts in an instant, they might be able to challenge the final boss directly.

That was the plan of parallel Fu Qi and the others.

First, they needed to optimize their exclusive form skills, and keep them at a level that wouldn’t be fatal. Slightly reducing the power stats wasn’t out of the question.

Even if they couldn’t quite match the interstellar overlord, they could at least annihilate all the minions instantly.

Fu Qi had once been able to activate his exclusive form skill twice in a row.

By finding that delicate balance, it might be possible to perfect the exclusive form skill even further.

And against this backdrop, the “spiritual energy revival” arrived.

Under the name “Ge Yao”, Ye Ge ushered in a new era, awakening abilities in all of humanity and creating a brand-new form of productivity.

She engraved the name “Ge Yao” into the soul of every living being on Bluestar, openly displaying an unprecedented “divine miracle”.

Transcending gods!

【Successfully ushered in a new era. Reward: 100 attribute points】

Ye Yao happily pocketed the 100 attribute points and became even more enthusiastic about “educating” the consciousness of Fission.

“Silly cat, listen up. You can call me Mom, Boss, Brother Ye, Big Sister, Master… just don’t call me White Catty! Absolutely don’t learn from that Xia Lian in my memories! She’s a bad woman!”

“White Catty, I want a name.” The voice in her mind replied.

“But I’m terrible with names. How about I just call you Xing Lan? It means ‘cradle of the stars’. Anyway, you’ve already lulled quite a few stars to sleep.”

Ye Yao’s reply was slightly casual, and a dark joke slipped out effortlessly.

Xing Lan seemed to accept the casual name quickly.

“You mean the kind of sleep you never wake up from?

Total destruction might indeed count as a peaceful slumber.

To use a phrase from your memories: death is a cool summer night ¹ It’s basically a common chuuni line… —”

“Stop, stop, stop! I’ll plug my ears!

If I hear you muttering this kind of nonsense in my head again, I’ll block you!”

“Mom, you’re playing fair,” Xing Lan tried, calling her “Mom” to awaken some maternal love.

But unfortunately, Ye Yao was never really a mother.

“Shut up. You’re just my cup. Don’t go saying things that boost your credibility. At least wait until you have a body, alright?”

Ye Yao admitted that Xing Lan, the consciousness born from【Fission】, was growing fast.

She had quickly gone from a blank sheet to a canvas full of colors.

One could only say that she had learned a lot from Ye Yao’s memories.

Not that those custom-made “lessons” were all that proper, though.

Given the bizarre identities Ye Yao had assigned her, it was a miracle that no bugs had appeared.

Xing Lan’s voice hesitated for a moment.

“Then… daughter?”

“I’ll really top you to death.”

Bought an ice mold, and putting a few ice cubes in my drinks feels really good. This is how you should drink in the summer!
