What?! You want me to be the Herrscher of the End?!

After all, they've already dragged this into an illusion, which clearly means they're at a disadvantage in reality. They want to take advantage of their home-field advantage in the illusion to defeat their enemies, right? What else can they do? Play house?

However, just as Ji Zi was thinking this, Bai Mo, who was standing next to her, shook his head with deep regret and then laughed, "No, no, no, sister, you guessed wrong, and you're completely wrong!"

"Then tell me, what did they do in the illusion? Play house?"

"???!!!"

Sister, don't you already know the answer? Did you read the script?

Upon hearing Ji Zi's words, Bai Mo's face instantly contorted with disbelief.

On the other hand, Himeko was also somewhat stunned after seeing Bai Mo's expression.

Surely you can't just guess right off the bat, right? Playing house? Is this what the Second Herrscher was doing when she dragged Cecilia into the illusion?

"So I guessed right?"

"Yeah, I guessed right."

"..."

Ji Zi fell silent for a moment, but Bai Mo continued speaking, explaining slowly.

"However, Cecilia originally brought Cecilia into the illusion to kill her. She even hypnotized Cecilia's consciousness, intending to play with her first and then kill her. But Cecilia had already realized this, but instead of taking the opportunity to fight back, she deliberately cooperated with Cecilia and used the information gap to force Cecilia to recognize her as her second daughter in the illusion."

"Cirin mistakenly believed that it was the power of the feather that changed Cecilia's perception, making her recognize her as her daughter. So she didn't think much of it and just acted on her body's instincts, her own longing for maternal love and family affection, and in accordance with Cecilia's every move, she truly took on the role of Cecilia's daughter as the person she was in.

"So even though Sirin was already a Herrscher at this time, she still had humanity."

"And so, the days went by, and with Cecilia by her side in the illusion, Sirin regained the long-lost maternal love and affection, and also lived a very happy daily life."

At this point, Bai Mo paused briefly, then sighed softly.

Himeko, on the other hand, was still lamenting the past between Cecilia and the Second Herrscher, which was truly...heartbreaking.

"In the end, dreams always come to an end, and so do illusions."

After a pause, Himeko continued to ask.

"That's right. In the end, due to some external factors, Sirin in the illusion realized that Cecilia had not been hypnotized by Feather Dust. Instead, she thought that everything Cecilia did in the illusion was a lie. So a battle was inevitable, and the illusion shattered as a result. After that, as recorded in Schicksal, the Second Honkai Impact ended with Cecilia and the Second Herrscher Sirin perishing together."

Not at all. Actually, Cecilia's death was purely because Otto was too afraid of Siegfried's power and wanted to kill him. Cecilia died on the battlefield while trying to save Siegfried.

However, Bai Mo did not reveal these things, as doing so would only cause unnecessary trouble.

"However, in the last moments of their lives, Cecilia still regarded Sirin as her own child. Because of her kind nature, she saw Sirin's loneliness and pain in the illusion, and from the bottom of her heart, she wanted to become Sirin's mother and make up for what Sirin had lost."

"As for Cecilia, ever since she experienced those things in the illusion, although she herself doesn't want to admit it, she still has special feelings for Cecilia."

That concludes the discussion. Bai Mo gave Ji Zi a meaningful look, seemingly anticipating what she might say next.

"So, Amo, are you trying to tell me that the current 'Cirin,' who inherited most of Sirin's malice, also successfully inherited that part of her longing for family and maternal love, as well as her feelings for Cecilia?"

Similarly, Himeko did not disappoint Bai Mo. Being intelligent, she was able to guess the meaning behind Bai Mo's words.

It's simply a way of telling myself that the current "Cirin" is really just a brat; she has humanity too, she just doesn't want to express it.

Of course, even if Bai Mo didn't say these things, Himeko would not equate the current "Sirin" with the Second Herrscher Sirin.

...............................................

"As expected, my sister is really smart; she understands right away!"

"But you don't need to worry too much about Sirin's problem, sister. Siegfried and Bianca will take care of her. And after Kiana regains her memories, I believe she will also have a new understanding of this other version of herself."

Anyway, once Cecilia is resurrected, any remaining misunderstandings between them will disappear.

In short, that's the charm of my mother-in-law! It's a real bargain for Siegfried.

At this moment, Bai Mo could completely understand the feelings of those Valkyries from Destiny, as well as Shi Yu Qi Luo.

"So, sister, is there anything else you want to ask? I'll definitely answer everything I know!"

A strand of pink hair near her ear was gently twirled around her index finger, and Bai Mo winked playfully.

As for Himeko, she didn't have anything to hide, except for some particularly important matters, such as going with Otto to rescue people from the tree.

After all, if Himeko found out about this, she would definitely be the first to object.

"Kiana is all set, so let's talk about you now, Amo."

Himeko crossed her arms, not exactly serious, her tone was calm, and her eyes were gentle as she looked at Bai Mo.

She looked at this student she hadn't seen in a long time and felt a sense of inexplicable relief.

Is this considered growing up? She's not even old enough to graduate yet, but she's already so much better than her and can start worrying about the people around her.

"I?"

Bai Mo looked somewhat surprised. She had originally thought that Himeko would continue to ask about Kiana, but in the end, Himeko asked her instead.

But what's the point of asking? After all, she already said everything she could this morning.

Is it because they think it's not detailed enough?

“Yeah, after all, it’s been so long since we last met, and you’ve changed a lot, haven’t you, Little Amo?” Just as Bai Mo was lost in thought, Himeko’s voice reached her ears, and then she patted her shoulder, “Alright, let’s remove the barrier and talk as we walk.”

"There have been some changes, but sister, are we going back?"

Being very close to Himeko, Bai Mo could even smell her fragrance. He subconsciously lowered his head and then waved his hand to disperse the barrier.

She's not shy! Absolutely not!

"Idiot, didn't you just tell Mei you were going to buy some groceries when you left? What kind of business is it for us to go back empty-handed?"

Seemingly somewhat helpless, Himeko shook her head and said with a smile.

"Alright, alright, I had forgotten about that."

Bai Mo shrugged helplessly, then quickly followed Ji Zi's footsteps.

But actually, saying he was buying ingredients was just a matter of passing by the cafeteria and grabbing some. Anyway, with Himeko's identity, it wasn't a big deal.

Along the way, the two chatted and laughed. It was mostly Himeko asking Bai Mo how he had been doing in World Serpent these past few days, to which Bai Mo could only answer truthfully.

For example, she usually accompanies little Grey to draw, often visits Paddo's shop and Raven's bar, practices swordsmanship with Sakura, and seeks out Velvet and Mebius for any problems. In her spare time, she can also go to Eden to listen to music and relax. It can be considered a life of paradise.

Of course, Bai Mo did try to hide the fact that he and Ellie fought in bed almost every night, because it was something not worth talking about; it was just too embarrassing.

"By the way, sister, you must have met Sister Eden before, right?"

In the cafeteria's kitchen, Bai Mo casually picked out some meat and put it into the imaginary space, then squatted down and said.

"I met her on Coral Island, but Eden didn't really seem like a warrior to me. She was more like an artist or star who represented an entire era. To be honest, that's what I thought back then too, but I never imagined her achievements would be so great."

Himeko was generous with her praise; she was also quite impressed with Eden.

"After all, she is Sister Eden. And it's no exaggeration to say that in the pre-civilization era, her posters were plastered all over the world, on almost every street corner. She was truly incredibly wealthy. Even the Fire Moth received sponsorship from Sister Eden, and the construction of the Paradise of the Past was funded by her."

"But even with all this, Eden really enjoys tasting fine wines, and she's incredibly cute when she's drunk, the kind of person who'd give you a jewel at the drop of a hat."

"So on this point, Sister Eden and you, Sister, have a lot in common."

Of course, this only applies to my enjoyment of drinking.

"Haha, I could never do something like giving away jewels on the spot. But speaking of drinking, I would love to have a drink with her."

How good could a big star's wine collection be? That's right, she was just craving it!

However, the last era was more than 50,000 years ago. Can wine from that era still be drunk?

"That's easy. Anyway, I'll be taking Kiana and the others to the World Serpent in a few days. You can come along then, big sister."

"And the gift I brought for you this time, Sister Eden, contains fine wine that she personally took from Paradise!"

"Wine made from [Purple Helen] was something that, even in the last era, meant that every bottle consumed was one less available."

Bai Mo stretched out his index finger and shook it, saying with a hint of pride.

"But you don't need to worry about anything, sister. After all, Eden has always been like this. She gives whatever she has to her friends."

Finally, Bai Mo added a sentence to prevent Ji Zi from being reluctant to drink it after hearing it.

Seeing this, Himeko simply covered her face and laughed. What was this? She was just benefiting from the students' fame.

"Don't worry, I'm definitely going to drink myself into a stupor tonight."

"Just don't force me to drink it!"

"So fast!" Bai Mo subconsciously added, almost as soon as Himeko uttered those words.

"Hahaha, don't worry, with your little girlfriend around, I don't have a chance at all."

"Ellie would never force me to drink!"

Maybe? Probably? No way? Actually, Bai Mo had no confidence at all when he said those words.

After her previous experience, she couldn't bring herself to say such things with a clear conscience.

Amidst laughter and chatter, the two quickly selected their ingredients, which were almost entirely meat, with very few vegetables.

Chapter 420 The Book of Cangxuan: There's a ghost!

"By the way, Little Amo, what exactly is this Paradise of the Past Life that you've been talking about?"

"I remember last time on Coral Island, that Yingjie named Mebius also mentioned this word, saying that if Fu Hua wanted to regain her memories, she would have to go through it or something."

Carrying large and small bags of groceries, the two walked along the path back to their apartment. At this moment, Himeko asked curiously.

"The Land of Past Lives is a place specifically used by the Thirteen Heroes of the Fire Chaser to store their memories. It consists of a vast amount of data and the memories of each hero. The reason why Mebius said that if the class monitor wanted to retrieve her memories, she should go to the Land of Past Lives was because her memories were also stored there. So, all that's needed is to make a copy for the class monitor."

Bai Mo waved his hand and explained.

However, even if Hua from the Paradise of the Past could copy Fu Hua's memories, those would only be memories from the previous civilization, not the memories from the more than five thousand years in Shenzhou.

So, unless Fu Hua can recall those memories from over five thousand years ago on her own, we'll still have to ask her for help.

Of course, if Xiao Shi had been born in Fu Hua's body before that, that would have been a different story, although that sounds a bit unrealistic.

"A space made up of data and memories? It sounds like an enhanced version of the Destiny's Memory Battlefield. But if that's the case, wouldn't it be very likely that I'll see two Fu Huas?"

Himeko looked somewhat surprised, but she was very eager to see what Fu Hua was like 50,000 years ago.
