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

Möbius fell into deep thought. Given the current state of civilization, it was highly unlikely they could defeat the Honkai. Dr. Möbius had researched various plans, hoping that humanity would one day be able to defeat the Honkai. If Juexi was right, then it seemed Möbius's plans had succeeded, but...

After thinking for a long time, Mebius replied.

"Let's rule out the possibility that you've lost your mind. If what you're saying is true, and I've forgotten Kiana, Kiana's disappearance might be due to you altering some part of history. But the reason you haven't disappeared is most likely because you didn't help the current civilization defeat the Honkai. If you do nothing, the Kiana you're talking about might still appear. But if you defeat the Honkai of the previous civilization you're talking about, then neither you nor Kiana will exist. In simpler terms, you can't defeat the Honkai, even if you have enough power. It's a paradox."

Jue Xi thought for a while.

"What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again."

Mebius nodded.

"Oh, that's pretty good. That's roughly the idea. If what you're saying is true, since the previous civilization has been destroyed, you can't change anything by traveling back in time. What has already happened will happen again."

After hearing this, Jue Xi also got up to leave.

"Thank you, Dr. Möbius."

Mebius reacted quickly, grabbing Juexi's arm and then looking at him with a smile.

"Alright, little guinea pig~ I've answered your questions, so shouldn't you answer mine?"

Juexi got goosebumps when she heard this title.

"Um... Doctor, what do you need to do? Is there any other question that I can help answer, Dr. Möbius, who is well-read?"

Möbius squinted.

"Of course, Juexi~ ​​The question you just asked me is one that no normal person would ask. Besides, what makes you think you can defeat the Honkai? So, for your health's sake, let me give you a thorough check-up, you little guinea pig~ Don't worry, my medical skills are no worse than Su's~"

Upon hearing this, Juexi noticed that Mebius's eyes seemed to have lit up with a pale green light.

"Wait, Doctor... I think what I said earlier wasn't accurate, please..."

......

Several months later, as the final battle approached, Möbius naturally learned that Alicia was no longer alive. Recalling Juexi's appearance that day, it seemed he knew. Möbius felt a touch of self-mockery.

"This is really unreasonable. Judging from this, this kid probably really did come from another time."

After saying that, Mebius immediately shook his head and then gave a wry smile.

"What's wrong with me? My former self would never have believed these things. Will humanity eventually change? If the previous civilization is destroyed, will the new civilization have a place for itself? Or am I dead too?"

After careful consideration, Mebius arrived at the "Paradise of the Past." While synchronizing her memories in the paradise, she planted the seed in her subconscious to give up the pursuit of immortality.

After consulting with Juexi, Velvi completed humanity's final Divine Key: the First Divine Key, the Key of Revelation, 'The Void Treasury'.

Aponia completely immersed herself in the paradise of the past, ending her life of suffering...

Padophilia also arrived at her little home...

Chapter 167 Dust

Pado returned to her cozy little home carrying a plastic bag of canned food and some of her "treasures" collected from the Firefly Moth. Although what she was going to do back in Twilight Street this time... might not be so good, she still wanted to be happy at home, right? It wouldn't be good if her master found out she was unhappy. Right, she seemed to have only left her master a can of food after all this time. Would she starve to death? Thinking of this, Pado quickened her pace.

There should have been many cats along the way, but why didn't she see a single one? Or did they all avoid her? Without thinking too much, Pado happily pushed open the door and shouted loudly.

"Master! I'm back~"

"Meow meow!"

The moment she entered the room, the four or five kittens that were in the room seemed to have seen something terrifying and all ran away. In the end, only one black cat was still sleeping in its bed.

Pado looked somewhat unhappy.

"Hmph, you guys are really disloyal. I was only gone for a while, and you don't even recognize me when I come back. My master is the best. He won't give you any of my canned food."

Pado smiled as she approached the black cat and opened the can of food.

"Wake up, Master. I brought some new canned food."

"Master, you're so dirty! I remember you're usually very clean."

Pado picked up the black cat and saw a half-eaten can of food under it. Pado burst out laughing.

"Pfft, Master, aren't you uncomfortable sleeping like this? Haha. I've told you so many times, don't always eat half and leave half. We have plenty to eat now, not like when we were kids, you don't need to save any for me."

Paddy hugged her master and stroked her fur.

"Let me tell you, Master, we've joined a really, really big state-owned enterprise, hahaha. We're doing pretty well now, everyone's so nice. There's Dr. Mebius, the scientist, we call her Sister Snake, hehe, she's a bit scary though. And there's Boss Kevin, who's super powerful, you wouldn't believe how cool it is around him. In the summer when we're unbearably hot, we go to Boss Kevin's side. There's also Sister Eden, who's super rich, and Sister Ellie, she's so nice. And also, we met the big boss back then, Jue Xi, he's been acting a bit strange, but he's not so strange anymore. Moth Chaser is great everywhere... it's just that, it's just that I'm not very free, hehe."

"..."

Pado held the black cat and smiled, talking to herself for who knows how long.

"Hehe, I forgot all that. Although Master is family, our constitutions are quite different. I seem to fall behind in everything. Sister Ying's sister... I didn't catch up with her either. Aren't I useless, Master? You...you, why did you 'leave' too, Master..."

At this point, Pado could no longer hold back and began to sob softly.

......

After a while, Little Paddy cheered up, opened all the cans of food she had bought, and placed them in the various places where the cats used to frequent. She then packed up some other things, including the food and the half-eaten can, and left her previous home.

Pado noticed that even when there were cats around, they would run away after seeing her or sensing her approach, and she would complain as she walked away.

"Hehe, I'm a fusion warrior now too. No wonder I was so afraid of Boss Juexi the first time I met him. It turns out even cats are afraid of fusion warriors."

Then, as if she had found a blessed place, Pado stopped and, under the full moon, took out a small shovel and began to dig.

"Heave-ho, heave-ho..."

"Master, soon we'll be going to heaven with Boss Juexi and the others~ Maybe, most likely we'll be 'leaving' too, haha."

At this point, Pado's tail and ears began to tremble.

"Hehe, I'm still a little bit scared, but I'm definitely going this time."

Pado hummed some song, hiding all her "treasures".

"This is my favorite canned food, hehe, because it's a precious can of food that Master left for us. It's unique, with a crooked bottle cap, my wanted poster, hehe, and this is my photo."

Then Pado took out a color photo, which showed her, Juexi, and her master... Pado touched the photo with great affection.

"Hehe, we didn't have cat ears and tails back then, so we put these in too. And those team uniforms we couldn't wear anymore. And, and..."

Patho closed the box with satisfaction. She knew every single "treasure" inside like the back of her hand. It contained all the rare and precious items she had found since childhood, all the "wealth" that "Padofilis" treasured...

Pado wiped the sweat from her brow and reluctantly touched the treasure chest beside her.

"almost."

Although Pado was very reluctant, she buried the treasure chest, comforting herself as she did so.

"It's just for now, we'll leave it here for now, and we'll dig it out when we get back."

As Pado thought about this, a thought suddenly popped into her mind, and she retorted, "Wouldn't that be redundant?"

"Ahem, this is just in case, in case my treasures can survive until the next century and see the light of day again, right? Hehe."

In a moment of internal struggle, she shoveled the last handful of soil and poured it onto the box. She glanced at her master again, and as she looked, a sudden chill ran down her spine. Wasn't this a 'coffin'? Pado was terrified.

She tried to comfort herself, her voice trembling.

"No, no. I finally made this decision, why am I thinking about all this nonsense today?"

Pado quickly dug another hole and put her master inside.

......

"Phew, all done..."

After finishing her task, Pado dropped the shovel and turned to leave. Despite every single hair on her body protesting her decision, despite her ears and tail drooping listlessly, despite her muddy hands trembling... despite all of this, she inexplicably smiled...

"Hehe...it's nothing..."

"We've always been very lucky."

......

Finally, after everything was in place, Kevin, Eden, Velvet, Thousand Tribulations, Kosmo, Mebius, Hua, and Padophilia landed on the moon and activated the Herrscher of the End.

"Kevin... Boss Kevin, can we win...?"

Paddy looked at Kevin with some fear and asked.

Mebius replied with a smile.

"Don't worry, little Padma. Juexi has declared that she can defeat the Herrscher of the End. You just need to open that 'door'~"

Pado swallowed hard.

"Snake...Sister Snake, I will."

"Go for it, Little Paddy!"

After saying this, Pado parted ways with the others to complete her own mission.

Jue Xi watched Pado leave, her thoughts clearly written on her face. Möbius looked on with disdain.

"Hey, Juexi, stop looking."

"Ah? Ah."

Jue Xi finally realized what was happening. Möbius teased.

"Didn't you say you were from the next century? Then you know whether this operation succeeds or fails, and what will happen to Little Pado, right? Who are you trying to fool with that expression?"

Juexi didn't know what to say, so Kevin came to her rescue.

"Mebius."

"cut."

Mebius, seeing Kevin talking, was too lazy to say anything more, and the group soon arrived at their destination.

Just as he was about to awaken at the end, Juexi reminded Qianjie of the eons.

"Brother Jie, be careful, don't go in right away."

"Huh? Are you underestimating me?"

"No."

Before Juexi could explain, 'The End' had fully awakened...

Qianjie, eager to try, rushed forward immediately. The result...

As Zhongyan watched the red 'insect' before him strike, Qianjie was sent flying with a single blow. The flames on his body vanished without a trace, cracks appeared on his mask, and many broken Keys of Control were stuck in the ground. All of this indicated that Qianjie was dead.
