To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

That was something she had just tasted; it was a bit too sweet, which Ellie might like.

"Oh dear, this is embarrassing, Eden. I don't like alcohol... Although it's nice to see three Edens in my eyes after drinking, I still don't need it?"

After a moment's hesitation, Alicia refused Eden's request.

Then he continued, addressing Fu Hua and Xiao Shi, "So, you two must have a lot to talk about. Hua used to be so honest, she wouldn't tell me anything~"

She glanced at Hua, who was a little further away, her expression sorrowful, as if she had suffered some injustice.

"...Although I don't know what to say, after thinking about it, I'm not going to say it in front of you. Are you sure you don't just want to make a fool of yourself?"

The Herrscher of Knowledge stared at Alicia for a while, and combining her memories, quickly determined what the other party wanted to do.

But what she wanted was for the old man to comfort her himself, without anyone else giving instructions.

Alicia? Although few could refuse her, the great Herrscher of Knowledge must be one of them.

"Really? What a pity," Alicia's beautiful eyes flickered, and she smiled, her eyes narrowing slightly, showing no sign of discouragement.

He said to Fu Hua, "Fu Hua, you can't forget about Hua here just because you have Xiao Shi. She's lonely too, and needs you to keep her company."

"Huh?" Fu Hua didn't react at first, looking at the other person blankly.

"What do you mean, 'Oh'? If Xiaoshi is still young, then isn't Hua here also quite young? Sigh, he's probably in the same state as you were before, not having found his goal yet,"

Alicia chided, her eyes seemingly reproachful, but deeper down they were full of amusement, "After Hua saw your legend and deeds, he was always dumbfounded, unable to believe that he could do it. Don't you want to have a chat?"

"Hmm??" Alicia smiled gently, pulled the other Hua over, and then walked a little further away to carefully compare the three people.

Hmm~, three Fu Huas, so you can try on three outfits at the same time, and compare them perfectly!

This time, Alicia, who was not stabbed, was somewhat excited, staring intently at the three people with the same face.

The three Hua have already gathered at the top, and there are still two short of the five talisman disciples. Luo Mo carefully calculated in his mind, his eyes looking back and forth on them, and he nodded to himself.

...

"Hua—" A soft sigh escaped the darkness. The man on the throne merely rubbed the rough, uneven surface of his palm, his eyes flickering before finally settling into silence.

He thought about it a lot, then gently put it down.

"That's fine too."

Hua has integrated well into this era and will have a brand new life ahead of her.

Kevin showed his most sincere respect to his former comrades.

"My Lord, the Herrscher of Ice and the Herrscher of Consciousness have appeared in St. Freya one after another, and it seems... that they are under control."

The gray snake interrupted his thoughts and reported his discoveries over this period of time.

Kevin snapped out of his reverie, his blue eyes fixed on the gray snake, and asked coldly, "The Herrscher of Knowledge... and that one from the game..."

"Completely identical, even their clothes were the same, and their relationship with Professor Hua was exactly the same."

The gray serpent stood respectfully to the side and replied, "The Herrscher of Ice seems to be awakening, there are signs. As for Chen Tianwu... he has remained silent recently. Should World Serpent intervene in his case?"

"Okay, I understand," Kevin replied, without saying yes or no.

His eyes, however, were fixed on the void to the side, where the Thousand Realms Vehicle was placed, and he seemed to be thinking about something else entirely.

...

With soft background music playing, the short film slides towards the end, concluding this journey.

However, some hidden Easter eggs still exist, serving as connections to later plot developments.

Against a white background, a conversation unseen by anyone is hidden; two identical-looking people stand there.

The Herald of Knowledge had his back to the other person, while Fu Hua turned around, wanting to offer some words of advice.

"..."

"That's strange,"

"Why did I lose?" the Herrscher of Knowledge said self-deprecatingly, looking ahead and ignoring Fu Hua behind her.

"Whether it's speed or strength, spirit or perseverance... I should far surpass you all. Hmph, hahaha..."

"Just because I'm a Herrscher, does that mean I'm destined to fail?"

The one who knew the law asked her the question that was troubling her the most, and after thinking it over, she realized that this was the only reason.

Otherwise, she couldn't imagine how she could have lost.

"You've discovered it," Fu Hua said softly.

"Of course, no matter how much I deceive myself... when I use all my strength... no, actually, even earlier..."

The one who understood the law lowered his head slightly, his words filled with helplessness and sorrow.

She tried hard to say something.

"I just won't admit it... Hehe, I'm a Herrscher who controls consciousness, isn't it easy for me to deny anything?"

"..."

"In the end, it turned out that the person I always wanted to be was not myself, and the person I always wanted to eliminate was myself. I laughed at everyone, haha, but in the end, I was the funniest one."

Those who understand the law laugh out loud, yet their laughter is filled with a sense of desolation.

She was unwilling, dissatisfied, and couldn't believe it.

But the outcome is already decided and there is no room for doubt.

Fu Hua gently comforted her, knowing she was not wrong. Being born from the Honkai was not something she could choose; that body was one she had abandoned, and rightfully belonged to her.

However... she had something she absolutely had to accomplish, and she snatched something from the other party again.

But if she could, she hoped she could stay or help her.

"...No way!" The Herrscher of Knowledge shouted as if she'd been stepped on.

"You still want me to help you? Hahahaha, are you stupid?! I won't help you! Go to hell! Sharing a body? Just thinking about it makes me sick!"

"You won, I lost—you are Fu Hua, I am nothing. Goodbye!...No, never again! I'm leaving, and you can never stop me."

"...Where are you going?" Fu Hua asked immediately.

"What's it to you? I can go wherever I want, and nobody can stop me. Hey, I'm the 'Herrscher of Consciousness'! You'd better pray you never run into me again."

"Thank you."

Fu Hua said softly, she didn't know what else to say, so she had nothing to say.

"...This isn't for you, you old fogey. Do whatever you want, I have nothing to do with you anymore, goodbye!"

As the shadows fell, the light rose.

Kiana helped Bronya, who had just woken up, to greet their class monitor as she approached.

Dappled sunlight streamed in from behind her, and her gentle smile seemed to acknowledge Kiana and Bronya's abilities. Fu Hua rejoined St. Freya's team.

[Translation: Hurry up and beg me to stay, or I'll really leave!]

I'm angry, the kind you can't appease, and I'm running away from home.

My ship is quite big, feel free to come and play on it. If you get tired, just come and sleep with me.

Bronya: So sleeping can revive the class president? Got it, I'll continue next time.

"Speaking of which, shouldn't Cangxuan Danzhu wake up soon?"

The Lawbringer gently fanned himself with his hand, his eyes darting around as if everything around him was interesting.

Oh no, how did this get recorded too?

Doesn't this make her seem like a sulking child? No, no, let's change the subject and ignore her.

However, it was obvious that apart from Fu Hua looking at her expectantly, the others were more curious about her.

"The Herrscher of Consciousness? Self-deception? Interesting—it's a good thing for China too." Qianjie said, arms crossed, but his tone was no longer as aggressive as before.

He did not dislike those who understood the laws, but not because they resembled comrades.

"Unfortunately, Fu Hua has tried her best, but it's not enough. She's not very good at this aspect."

Alicia shook her head regretfully, then gave a strange smile and said playfully, "In this regard, Fu Hua, you should really learn from Kiana. If you could be like Kiana in the short film, how could Xiao Shi possibly leave? Right, Xiao Shi?"

"Yeah, yeah, did you hear that..." The Herrscher of Knowledge nodded subconsciously, looking at Fu Hua with an air of self-righteousness as she reprimanded her.

She realized something was off halfway through her sentence and glared at Alicia, "What are you saying? Even if that old fogey tries to coax me... I won't stay."

"It's my decision to leave. What she does has nothing to do with it? You're making it sound like I'm easily influenced by her!"

"Really? If Fu Hua had gripped it as tightly as Kiana did back then..." Alicia leaned closer, looking directly into those blinking crimson eyes,

The Herrscher of Knowledge instinctively wanted to dodge, but quickly restrained herself and said firmly, "Of course, I can leave whenever I want. It's not like she or Kiana welcome me, hmph!"

"...I'm trying to keep you here; I don't mean you're not welcome," Fu Hua explained.

But she was still more interested in the topic raised by the previous Herrscher of Knowledge, and hurriedly asked while pulling on the Herrscher of Knowledge's arm, "Little Herrscher, you just said... Cangxuan Danzhu is about to wake up?"

"Hmm? Of course, I, the Herald of Knowledge, never lie!"

The Herald of Knowledge looked directly into Fu Hua's eyes and said defiantly,

For some reason, she kept mentioning the words "don't lie," especially in front of Fu Hua.

"I reckon it'll be in the next few days, not too far off. But as for Ji Lin... I'm not so sure. That's a Saint Mark, not something I'm familiar with."

"These past few days?... " Fu Hua's eyes lit up, and she said solemnly, "Thank you, Xiao Shi..."

"I see no sincerity from you at all. Please be serious and use the full title."

The Herrscher of Knowledge withdrew his hand from Fu Hua's grasp, turned his head to the side, and said casually.

Honestly, why are you so concerned about those two guys? Isn't she important?

"No, I think 'Xiao Shi' is more affectionate. I like that nickname."

"...Call me whatever you want."

"I'd also like to be called Xiaoshi, the kind that's officially authorized, is that okay?"

"...Can't!"

...
