Genshin Impact: Starting Guide - End of the World Qi Bao

……

The two remained silent for a long time before Juexi spoke first.

"Oh, what does that have to do with me?"

……

"It's nothing, but you're not the only one who's sad."

Jue Xi rolled her eyes at Hua.

"I'm not sad."

After saying that, Juexi walked away without looking back.

……

And Qianjie… under these circumstances, resolutely disregarding all obstacles, killed all those who had caused Ling's death, those who had survived, and those who were even remotely related to her. A total of fifty-four people.

Lacking the core of the Herrscher of Corruption, Hua, instigated by Mebius, ultimately stole the black box sealing the Herrscher of Corruption. Later, during their experiment, Hua fell into a deep sleep, where she saw Rin hiding in a corner, weeping alone…

Ultimately, Mebius performed surgery on Hua, barely managing to revive him.

May also entrusted the Fire Seed Project to Eden, but Eden ultimately rejected the project and handed it over to Hua instead.

……

Later, at Alicia's insistence, Kevin was forced to celebrate a birthday.

"Hey Kevin, Kevin. What did you wish for?"

Kevin was speechless.

"I hope that humanity can defeat the next Herrscher with zero casualties."

"Ellie teased playfully."

"Hehe, Kevin, you don't know this? Wishes won't come true if you say them out loud, you know?~"

Kevin ignored Ellie and walked away.

Chapter 164 Origin

The seventh of the Thirteen Heroes Who Chase Fire, Su (ranking does not represent strength). 'Tianhui'

Because of Juexi's rampage in the early stages of the Honkai, her sudden disappearance in the middle stages, and her near-zero activity in the later stages, the higher-ups of the Firemoth organization concluded in a meeting that... Juexi is very likely the final Herrscher. Some even suggested that Alicia and Dr. Mebius had been close to Juexi... Ultimately, someone unearthed files from a mountain village that the Firemoth organization had investigated years ago.

At the time, a strong Honkai energy reaction occurred in that mountain village, but it didn't develop into any substantial disaster. Multiple investigations later failed to uncover the cause. Then, suddenly one day, the Honkai energy reaction in the village disappeared, and no one paid any attention at the time. Looking at the records from that time now, the disappearance of the Honkai energy was most likely because a girl named Alicia left the village…

Most people believed that Jue Xi and Alicia were traitors... In the end, Dr. Mei suppressed the matter and, after some investigation, ruled out the two as suspects.

These things also reached Eden's ears, and she couldn't help but feel a little disheartened. The status of the fusion warrior "Hero" who fought wholeheartedly for humanity had always been so awkward. Even before she became Hero and a superstar of the era, she deeply understood that humans are always like this.

Eden knocked on Alicia's door with a bottle of his favorite red wine in hand.

"Ellie, can I come in?"

Alicia happily replied upon hearing Eden's voice outside the door.

"Of course you can, my dear Eden~ Next time, don't knock~ If it's you, you can just come in, okay?~"

Eden, listening to the sounds outside the door, knew that Ellie was probably going to rest. But when she heard him, she immediately sat up in bed, put on her shoes, and ran to open the door. After all, her voice sounded like she was running and talking, becoming increasingly clear.

Eden's mood improved considerably the moment Ellie opened the door. She raised the glass of red wine in her hand and looked at Ellie with a smile.

"Ellie, would you mind having a drink with me?"

Ellie replied happily.

"Of course, my dear Eden. Alicia will always respond to your wishes, okay?~"

Then Alicia grabbed Eden's other hand and pulled her into the room.

……

Sixth among the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire, Thousand Tribulations (ranking does not represent strength). [Extinction]

After a few rounds of drinks...

Eden told Ellie about his suspicions. Ellie initially pretended to be angry, then nonchalantly replied, "Of course a kind, generous, and stunningly beautiful girl like me would forgive them!"

Eden jokingly laughed it off.

"Who did you learn these words from?"

"Hehe, before with Juexi~"

Eden was momentarily stunned upon hearing the name. That boy—recalling the last time he saved him. He could unconditionally trust Ellie, but Juexi… Eden, thinking about his behavior, couldn't help but have some doubts.

Looking into Eden's eyes, Ellie knew that Eden didn't quite believe Juexi, so she took Eden's hands in hers.

"Eden~ My dear Eden~ Juexi is really a very good boy, believe me~"

Eden smiled.

"Of course, Ellie, I will always believe in you."

Ellie expressed her delight.

"Thank you, Eden. I knew you were the best to me!"

The two then talked for a long time.

Ellie said with a hint of longing.

"My dear Eden~ I long to fly in the sky like a princess in a fairy tale, and gaze at the stars and the moon~"

Eden drank the red wine in his glass.

“That’s easy, Ellie.”

"Is Zun Du fake Du?"

Eden didn't answer. To make Ellie happy and fulfill her small wish, Eden took her outside the base and found a relatively open spot to initiate "Artificial Collapse." (Since the Fusion Warriors have fused with Honkai Beasts, Artificial Collapse can be understood as transforming into a monster.)

Ellie stared at Eden, who had transformed into a giant, whale-like creature.

"Wow, Eden, you're so beautiful!"

"Okay, Ellie, come on up."

Ellie sat happily on Eden's back.

"Hehe, my dear Eden~ I love you the most~"

"Alright, Ellie, let's go."

"Whoosh~"

The two roamed under the silver moon... Ellie had never been so happy...

Afterwards, the two lay on the ground holding hands, and Ellie gazed at the starry sky and sighed.

"It's so beautiful."

Eden looked at Alicia.

"Yes, it's beautiful."

Ellie smiled.

"It would be even better if people in the future could see such a beautiful starry sky."

Eden answered after a brief silence.

"Yes."

Ellie realized that her topic seemed a bit heavy and turned to look at Eden, only to find that Eden had been watching her the whole time. Their eyes met, and Eden immediately turned away.

Ellie happily wrapped her arms around Eden's waist.

"Was Eden watching me the whole time? I'm so happy!~"

Then, Ellie asked in a slightly mischievous tone.

"So, was Eden talking about me or the stars?"

Eden turned to look at Ellie.

"It's you."

Ellie looked into Eden's eyes, and she swallowed nervously for some reason. Then, as if she had thought of something, she seemed to have made up her mind.

“E...Eden…”

Eden asked with concern, a faint smile on his face.

"What's wrong, Ellie?"

"do you like me?"

"like."

"Then... if I said I was a Herrscher... would you still like me...?"

……

Ellie had even prepared herself for the worst, but she never hesitated.

"Then I like you too, Ellie."

After saying that, Eden ruffled Ellie's hair.

Ellie's eyes were a little moist.

"Waaah... X﹏X, Eden! You're so mean! You're cheating! I'm going to cry..."

……

After a while, Ellie and Eden went back to her room hand in hand.

Ellie lay in bed, looking at Eden and asking happily.

"My dear Eden~ Speaking of which, just now in the sky, was that you holding me? Or carrying me on your back? Or was I riding you? Hehe~"

"Ellie, I'll pay you back."

"what?"
