Genshin Impact: Joining the Genius Society-Chapter 143: The Possibility of Becoming the Next Swarm Aeon & Topaz Being Angrily Amused

Chapter 143: Chapter 143: The Possibility of Becoming the Next Swarm Aeon & Topaz Being Angrily Amused
Inside the broken incubation tank lay a
massive insect egg
, quietly nurturing a reborn Swarm-King.
Unlike Ruan Mei, who preferred to grow her creations directly to completion...
Su Ran chose the path that aligned
perfectly with the instincts of a Swarm creature
:
Breeding.
When the creature hatched, that would be the moment the Emanator would truly be
born
.
"Why complicate things?"
Ruan Mei asked, genuinely puzzled.
Direct growth was the fastest.
It consumed less energy, less time.
And did not weaken the product.
What was the point of this... naturalistic incubation?
"Of course it matters," Su Ran replied.
"It’s the Emanator of Tayzzyronth—the Swarm Aeon.
If you want it born at full potential, it must follow its
Destiny
.
Only a Swarm birthed through true reproduction is a genuine Swarm."
Ruan Mei’s artificially grown King had form and function, but lacked what mattered most—
a natural-born connection to the Path of Propagation.
Data could imitate instinct, but it could never
replace
instinct.
Born instinct > Installed instinct.
Nature > simulation.
"But then," Ruan Mei countered, "a naturally born Swarm-King would follow instinct above all else.
How would it obey you?
A being driven by pure biological imperative cannot be controlled."
It was common sense.
Even she wouldn’t dare claim to fully tame a creature of Propagation.
"Easy.
I’ll just make it think
I’m Tayzzyronth
."
Su Ran shrugged.
"Swarm creatures require a leader.
As long as I’m recognized as the apex, the entire colony will follow."
He wouldn’t forcibly rewrite its mind— that would violate its Path, and likely kill it.
The only solution was persuasion... very aggressive persuasion.
"Wait... doesn’t that mean—"
Herta narrowed her eyes.
"—that you might actually become the new Swarm Aeon someday?
Another Tayzzyronth?"
Su Ran froze.
He had not thought about that.
Was it possible that one day, after gathering enough Swarm... after being worshipped instinctively by trillions of insects...
Would he be
forced onto the empty throne
of Propagation?
The current universe had only one kind of follower on that Path—
mindless bugs
.
An Aeonless Path couldn’t produce Emanators.
So the Swarm had been stagnating for ages.
But if they gained a leader with a brain?
That could be a problem.
A very big one.
Su Ran quietly shoved Ruan Mei’s face away again.
"I don’t know."
Whatever.
Future problems can stay future problems.
Then he turned back to Topaz:
"Did you buy the trending spot like I asked?"
The egg was stable.
The new Swarm Emanator was almost guaranteed.
He was satisfied.
Time to handle more important business—
becoming internet famous.
"Mr. Su Ran..."
Topaz inhaled deeply.
"Your behavior is
extremely dangerous
.
If I help you boost this online, you’ll become the enemy of the entire universe."
She refused him immediately.
If he truly became a universal threat, the IPC’s attempts to recruit him would fail catastrophically.
But the recordings—
she already transmitted back to headquarters.
The upper executives were currently panicking, strategizing how to recruit him.
Shares?
Authority?
A full board seat?
Anything was possible.
And if negotiations failed, they might even consider force—
A stupid idea.
Because with a
Genius Society member + Erudition Emanator + potential Swarm Emanator
...
Who could stop him?
If he fled and went into hiding, the IPC would sleep with one eye open for the rest of eternity.
After hearing Herta speculate that Su Ran might eventually become the next Swarm Aeon...
Topaz had no desire to see the IPC do something suicidal.
A Swarm Aeon with actual intelligence was a terror beyond comprehension.
"But I think becoming a universe-wide villain would be pretty cool,"
Su Ran said seriously.
"You’ve seen the bounties on the Stellaron Hunters, right?
If I became an interstellar criminal, my bounty would be higher, wouldn’t it?"
The more he spoke, the more
excited
he sounded.
Topaz, meanwhile—
The more he spoke, the more
furious
she became.
"Bounty...?"
She let out a small, incredulous laugh.
Was this man for real?
Did he genuinely think the IPC Most-Wanted list was some kind of
popularity ranking
?
He wanted to trend so badly he was trying to farm his own bounty?!
"You want a number?"
Topaz asked, half angry, half amused.
"Fine.
How about
100 billion credits
?"
That was already more than the entire Stellaron Hunters combined
(except Elio—alive capture only).
"100 billion...
sounds a little low."
Su Ran frowned.
"Does Nanook have a bounty?"
Topaz:
ARE YOU INSANE.
The Stellaron Hunters could theoretically be captured.
Except Elio, who was too much of a wildcard.
But Nanook?
The
Aeon of Destruction
?
Did he really expect the IPC to put a price on a
god
?
Topaz’s internal voice:
Do you think the IPC is omnipotent?!
