Gensho looked at the 'girl' standing at the end of the line and said softly:

"There are some things I'd like to ask you. May I speak to you privately for a moment?"

"Me? Of course."

Genjiro's respectful tone towards Fu Hua surprised the others, but Fu Hua calmly nodded and followed Genjiro to the side. After the power of 'Luna' was unleashed, the boy looked at the sage and said earnestly:

"Sir, do you know where the root of the 'Honkai' lies?"

306 Someone has arrived.

What are you going to do?

Upon hearing this, Fu Hua's gaze sharpened, and he looked directly into Genji's eyes, saying:

“Yuanxiang is not something that can be easily touched.”

"I don't care about the power of Honkai; I'm going to destroy it!"

Gensou looked directly into Fu Hua's eyes and said firmly:

“Sir, I respect you because you have been fighting against the Honkai for countless years. But sometimes, one person is not enough to do everything. Sir, I am very capable. The memory that remains contains these memories related to me, so you should know that. And now, it can be said that I am at the peak of my combat power. So I will fight the Honkai. If I win, from now on, this world will no longer have to worry about being attacked by various monster Herrschers, and no one will need to be used as a test subject or even lose their life!”

"........"

The boy's eyes were bright and clear, without the slightest hint of fear or affectation. Fu Hua could even sense that even if she only gave him a vague direction, he would relentlessly pursue the matter until one of them, the Honkai, fell.

“Yuanxiang, I know you are kind-hearted and want to save the world from its suffering. I don’t deny that you do have the ability, but... we can’t rush it, really.”

Fu Hua placed her hand on Yuan Xiang's wrist, where a crimson light flickered faintly. However, the pale golden 'glory' that emerged in the next second instantly dissipated her power, which surprised Fu Hua. She only wanted to use some methods to calm Yuan Xiang down and make him listen to her, but she did not expect to encounter this situation. This was not the case last time. It seems that this boy has made new progress recently.

"Since the last era, humanity has never ceased its struggle against the Honkai, but its power has exceeded everyone's imagination. Back then, my organization assembled what could be considered the pinnacle of that civilization's fighting force, but ultimately we still failed..."

After obtaining the memory of 'hua', Fu Hua also 'remembered' some past events, recounting them in a slightly wistful tone, but was gently interrupted by Genji:

"Sir, I have heard a lot about 'Honkai'. I had some idea of ​​how powerful and terrifying it was. I have never underestimated Honkai. After all, there must be many people in this world who are more talented than me. But my thoughts have not changed. If possible, I would still like to fight 'Honkai' and see what happens."

"Why, Yuanxiang, why are you in such a hurry?"

Fu Hua sensed Genji's impatience, even his unease, and said softly, puzzled:

"Did something happen on your end? Why are you so anxious to deal with the problem here?"

"I don't have any problems on my end right now."

Yuanxiang paused for a moment, then replied with a wry smile:

"But that's only for now. I've been very unlucky lately. In less than a summer, I've almost died several times. I'm very strong now, but that's only for now. Maybe tomorrow, I'll encounter some enemy and have to use all this power to fight for my life. At that time, even if you want my help, I'm afraid I can only lie in bed and offer my blessings verbally. So, sir, I should give it a try. Even if I can't defeat the Honkai, at least I can bring back some useful information for you."

"Yuanxiang...don't be so pessimistic."

Fu Hua gently comforted the boy, but the immortal who had glimpsed some of his memories knew that Genji's worries were not unfounded, however...

"No matter what, this is not a reason for you to take the risk alone. How about this?"

Fu Hua conjured a feather in her hand and looked at Genji, saying:

"Thanks to you, I was able to recall the decisive battle from 50,000 years ago. Come, come and see how we fought against the Herrscher of the End back then."

The Law of the End?

The unfamiliar term startled Yuanxiang, but it also made him lower his guard, allowing Fu Hua to pull him into her memories. He then saw a ravaged Earth, the blue planet now filled with death and ruin. At Fu Hua's prompting, he turned around and saw several armored warriors charging towards an enemy exuding an aura of annihilation on the moon, under the cover of countless cannon fire and 'shields'. One of them was Fu Hua, who was standing beside him.

"The Herrscher of the End is the fourteenth Herrscher to appear since the complete outbreak of Honkai. Theoretically, she is also the last Herrscher, but also the most powerful."

Fu Hua looked at everything before her and explained softly to Genji. Then, she pointed to the massive warship beyond the moon and said:

"Actually, in the plan, the decisive factor wasn't us, but it—the Moon Throne. Calculations showed it should have been able to drain the vast majority of the Herrscher of the End's Honkai energy, completely shifting the advantage in our favor. Unfortunately, in actual combat, it only drained 30%, and that was only achieved after two consecutive activations. Ultimately, it was my partner's all-out attack that temporarily halted the Herrscher of the End's actions for twelve hours. But the Moon Throne, the only thing capable of harming the Herrscher of the End, was destroyed, which means the operation failed..."

"Perhaps I can change this end."

Suddenly, Genji, who was intently observing every detail of the battle, interrupted Fu Hua and said:

"If I use two Earths as amplifiers, I should be able to defeat it now, but after that I will definitely be unable to fight again for a short period of time. Sir, if we defeat this Herrscher of the End, will the Honkai end?"

"Maybe."

"Maybe?"

Under Yuanxiang's questioning gaze, the warrior, born in the previous era, answered in a low voice:

"Back then, we could only take it one step at a time. We all hoped that after defeating the Herrscher of the End, civilization could continue. So we didn't even think about what our civilization would face after the Herrscher of the End, and..."

Fu Hua took out the 'hua' memory, closed her eyes, and seemed to be rummaging through it. After a moment of silence, she opened her eyes and said:

"Although it wasn't explicitly stated, 'Mei,' the leader of my organization, once mentioned that the essence of Honkai is less about destruction and more about selection. So what exactly is selecting all of this?"

"Was there finally an answer to this question?"

Gensho asked curiously, and Fu Hua shook her head in reply:

"Unfortunately, I didn't know. 'Mei' said it was just a guess that needed to be confirmed, and at that time I didn't care about these issues. My other partners who are still alive might know these things, but I haven't been able to contact them for a long time."

"This is really troublesome."

At this moment, Fu Hua had already erased her memories, and both of them returned to reality, both with furrowed brows. The former was considering whether to let Genji contact the Archbishop of Schicksal, while the latter was thinking about how much power he would need to defeat the Herrscher of the End, now that he had two Earths as amplifiers and the blessing of Glory.

In the end, both of them sighed and temporarily put aside their thoughts. Fu Hua gave up the idea of ​​letting Genji meet Archbishop Otto Apoclis. The archbishop's style of doing things was probably incompatible with Genji's, but Otto's existence was still necessary in the fight against the Honkai.

Gensou was mentally rehearsing the battle, but ultimately realized that relying solely on Fu Hua's memories was insufficient to complete the simulation. After all, the ferocity of that final battle exceeded what words could describe in detail, and Fu Hua's memories, based on her perspective at the time, contained too many gaps and omissions. Furthermore, the memories were mixed with too much of Fu Hua's subjective will, resulting in a biased understanding of the actual situation of the Herrscher of the End.

"It seems this battle really needs to be postponed."

Gensou looked up at the sky. At least until he understood the situation after the Herrscher of the End, or the truth of the Honkai, he could not easily disrupt this world. If the aftermath of the battle caused a sudden natural disaster and a huge loss of life, it would undoubtedly be a great failure.

“Yes, Yuanxiang, don’t be anxious. This civilization hasn’t been around for very long. The complete collapse won’t happen too soon. We still have time.”

Fu Hua gently comforted Genji, but to be honest, her feelings were rather complicated. After all, Genji was someone from another world, and the life and death of this world had little to do with him. When the end came, he would have taken his friends to another world to hide, which would have basically saved him from this calamity. But now, she, the 'person involved,' was pulling him, the 'outsider,' away from confronting the Honkai. It felt like their roles were reversed.

"One more thing, please don't call me 'sir' anymore."

At this moment, Fu Hua finally spoke up about something that had been bothering her from the beginning. Under Yuanxiang's puzzled gaze, she said softly and helplessly:

“I know that in China, it is correct to address men and women as ‘sir’ and it is still correct to use it now. But I am just a student at St. Freya Academy. It’s a bit much to use that term to address me.”

"So I'm also quite curious, why would someone as celestial as you choose to live in this beginner's camp?"

Taking the opportunity, Yuanxiang also asked the question that had been on his mind:

"Do you think there's something here that requires your personal supervision and suppression?"

"This involves some secrets that cannot be revealed for the time being."

Fu Hua shook her head, remaining tight-lipped and refusing to answer any further questions. Genji didn't press her, simply raising his hand and smiling as he said:

"Let me make a request."

"Ok?"

Fu Hua made a nasal sound of confusion, raised her hand towards Genji, and said:

Is there anything I can help you with?

"No, I just wanted to try out this method of delegation to see if we could establish some kind of connection so that I can help you if you are in danger in the future."

Yuanxiang smiled and looked at Fu Hua, saying:

"At least now we're all in the same boat. If one of us were to suddenly disappear, it would be really heartbreaking."

"Okay, let's high-five to seal the deal."

Fu Hua smiled slightly. Perhaps because they had shared memories, she found the young man quite agreeable. Although she was not in a good state, it would be a gross underestimation of her to ask him to save her.

"Oh right, I almost forgot, when I went to Mount Taixu, I also brought you back some things."

At this moment, Yuanxiang seemed to remember something, took out several bundles of things from the bag on his back, and handed them to Fu Hua, saying:

"I thought this thing looked pretty good, so I just cut off a bit."

"Spring never fades... It's been a long time since I've seen this."

Looking at these plants, Fu Hua felt a little emotional. Back when she was on Mount Taixu, she basically ate these in the winter. At that time, she didn't think it was a big deal, but after exploring her cooking skills over the years, she still felt that she had been a little unfair to her stomach back then.

"Thank you, but I also have a question."

Fu Hua, having received the Everlasting Spring, looked at Genji's chest and said:

"I couldn't hear your heartbeat when we last met, and it's the same this time. Is your heartbeat different from a human's?"

"Of course I am human."

Gensho waved his hand dismissively and said with a smile:

"I just lost my heart while fighting the enemy. It's regenerating now, so it's nothing serious."

"Hmm..."

Hearing this, even Fu Hua was a little taken aback, but then she thought about the past of Yuanxiang that she had seen in the memory, and she had nothing more to say. This child had really had a hard time.

"Alright, Fu Hua, I'm going to dispel this barrier."

At this moment, Yuanxiang spoke up to remind him:

"If they ask what we talked about, just say I'm curious about the situation in China. As for the specifics of what I asked, just pass it on to me and tell them I need you to keep it a secret."

"okay."

Fu Hua nodded. Before the conversation officially began, Genji used the power of "Luna" to add another layer of illusion. In the eyes of Theresa, Seele and the others, the two of them were simply standing and chatting without any other movement, so it was not difficult to fool them.

"Hey little bro, you two are finally done chatting. What were you talking about?"

The moment the barrier dissipated, Hei Xi'er jumped over, smiling as she put her hands behind her back and asked, "..." Yuanxiang, however, reached out and tapped her forehead, saying expressionlessly:

"When adults are talking, children should not interrupt."

"you!!"

"Alright, my other self, stop fooling around with Yuanxiang-nii."

Seeing that Black Seer was about to lose her temper, Seer quickly came over and pulled her back, then looked at Yuanxiang and said with a smile:

"Anyway, Gensou-nii is definitely talking about serious business, right?"

"Find out the situation in China by asking a local."

Gensou flicked Seele's forehead, then, just as he was about to say something, he suddenly noticed the unusual activity in the air, looked up, and whispered:
