However, the two of them clearly did not expect that Yuanxiang's body could make many incredible movements under the stimulation of the fluctuations. Despite still having the strength, Yuanxiang's feet suddenly sank down and stepped on the ground, forming a new point of leverage. The boy's body also crashed into him. Although Danzhu Cangxuan was agile and decisive, he was much smaller than Yuanxiang and had nowhere to gain leverage in the air. After this collision, he was obviously at a disadvantage.
However, those two were also ruthless. In the instant of the collision, they even reached out and used their fingers to stab Yuanxiang's eyes and throat. But don't forget, there was an immortal lying in the boy's arms. How could Fu Hua watch Yuanxiang suffer such a fatal injury? He immediately slapped back, sending Danzhu and Cangxuan flying even further away.
"Actually, the most troublesome one is Cang Xuan."
At this moment, Fu Hua spoke up and Yuan Xiang whispered:
"As a warrior, she is a majestic and ruthless presence, a stark contrast to her usual state of constant weakness. In addition to being skilled in combat, Cang Xuan is also a wise sage. She has an amazing ability to observe the changes and trends of all things and is good at summarizing patterns. This is also the reason why she was chosen by the previous civilization era to become a 'pioneer'."
"So, all these years, these two sisters haven't actually died, but have just existed here in this deformed way?"
While remaining vigilant about the changes around him, Yuanxiang asked curiously:
"Does that mean Ji Xuanyuan might still be alive?"
"No, they... are indeed dead."
Fu Hua paused for a moment, then said calmly:
"But as you can see now, the erosion of quantum space, the abundance of high-concentration Honkai energy, and the airtightness of this 'Nine Netherworlds,' no, this special space that seals Chi You, have caused the projections of the past to appear here. They... although they have the appearance and abilities of Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu, there is no doubt that they are now Honkai apostles, enemies of humanity. I have realized this."
"Consciousness is one thing, action is another."
Yuanxiang noticed the emotions of the immortal in his arms. It seemed that this 'Red Kite', who had been detached from worldly affairs for too long, had become somewhat overly sentimental after coming into contact with past emotions and memories.
However, this is understandable. I had a similar situation before, and it was fine after a little settling down.
"When I fought with my grandfather, I understood the principles, but it was just hard to execute them. Don't worry about it. Since they have become the apostles of the Honkai, let them break free from all these constraints!"
"Alright...tsk."
Fu Hua nodded, agreeing with Gensou's statement. However, when she was about to get down and fight, her lips twitched, her expression turning somewhat grim. In the previous battle, she had also injured her leg, and the attack contained a considerable amount of Honkai energy, which meant that even with the assistance of Ripple, she would not be able to regain her mobility for the time being.
"It's okay, I'm here."
Yuanxiang, unaware of Fu Hua's current situation, smiled slightly at her, then spotted Danzhu Cangxuan's last foothold and struck like lightning, attacking the pair of manipulated sisters.
"Be careful, they have the blessing of Honkai."
Fu Hua whispered a reminder to Yuan Xiang that this overly distorted space was undoubtedly a uniquely advantageous domain for Dan Zhu Cang Xuan, which was why she was beaten to this state simply because she missed half a move.
"It's alright, I've also blessed it."
To be honest, under such terrible circumstances, Genji was also somewhat reluctant to use the power of the void. The corrosive power of the collapse was obvious to all. Although the boy was confident that he could resist it, the troublesome things to deal with afterwards were enough to give anyone a headache.
Therefore, Gengo once again used the power of 'Glory'. With the power of Kamen Rider 1 and 2 combined with Gengo's current abilities, it was enough to fight against the mutated twin sisters.
In the blink of an eye, Fu Hua saw Yuan Xiang's fist strike, like a wall, forcefully slamming Dan Zhu and Cang Xuan into the mountain rocks. It was only thanks to the significant boost that the Collapse had given them, which greatly increased the strength of their physical bodies, that they would have been reduced to a bloody mess by now.
"Danzhu Cangxuan, rest in peace. I will continue to fight until my life is burned out, until I collapse and perish."
Fu Hua looked at her old friend who was beginning to dissipate due to the defeat and spoke in a serious tone. At this moment, Yuan Xiang noticed something and took out a blank Gaia Memory from his pocket. However, he did not point the memory directly at Dan Zhu Cang Xuan who was disappearing. Instead, he first put the memory into his arm and then grabbed Dan Zhu Cang Xuan's head.
"Yuanxiang?"
"Shh~~~~"
Gensou's action surprised Fu Hua, who looked at him and gasped. The boy raised his finger and gently shushed her, then focused on his work. At the same time, 'Cyclone' appeared and began to assist Gensou in the selection process.
A moment later, Fu Hua looked at Yuan Xiang's forearm, which was almost necrotic due to the Honkai's erosion, and was speechless for a moment, because what he had obtained in return for this was the Gaia Memory with the image of Dan Zhu Cang Xuan printed on it.
"It failed."
Genji shook his head heavily, then handed the Gaia Memory to Fu Hua and whispered:
"They are just fragmented memories, and although there is a lot of redundant data in them, I am not currently able to reconstruct them, so... it failed. They cannot be brought back to life in the form of AI."
"That's enough, that's enough."
Fu Hua gently patted Genji's head and said softly:
"If Danzhu and Cangxuan knew this from beyond the grave, they would surely thank you for your dedication and efforts. Alright, let's go out now and return to the Hyperion. This mission is no longer something we can continue."
"Don't worry about my hands."
Yuanxiang understood Fu Hua's meaning. He shook his head and said softly:
“With ripples and glory, these minor injuries will heal quickly. But we’ve already come down here. How can we be at ease without checking on Chi You’s condition? Wasn’t it this same thing that you rushed down here?”
"What I'm actually worried about is whether Chi You might undergo some kind of unusual change over the years."
Since Genji was temporarily unable to use one hand, Fu Hua wrapped her arms around Genji's neck and, being carried on his back, whispered to him:
"The impact just now reminded me of some unpleasant memories, so I rushed down alone to see what was going on."
"Um... could you elaborate a bit more?"
Gensou hesitated for a moment, then asked curiously. After all, he was still thinking about eliminating the Honkai, so it was always good to know more about the previous era.
"Sure, there's nothing I can't say. It just involves the battles against the Herrschers in the previous civilization era."
Fu Hua slowly said that the impact just now reminded her of the eleventh Herrscher—the Herrscher of Binding. That Herrscher created a barrier with a radius of one hundred kilometers. Within the barrier, all Honkai energy would be nullified, and other forms of energy would also be weakened to varying degrees. Because it weakened Honkai energy and electrons, only the Herrscher of Binding could move freely within the barrier.
While her destructive power is not as great as other Herrschers, she possesses the strongest power within her barrier. Scientists from previous civilizations speculate that the Herrschers of Binding were developed as a countermeasure against Fusion Warriors and Divine Keys.
In order to eliminate this Herrscher, Fu Hua and her fusion warriors paid a heavy price in the previous civilization era. Their originally decent fusion warrior strength was reduced to just a few survivors after that battle. Otherwise, their chances of winning the battle against the Herrscher of the End might have been much greater.
"So you're worried that Chi You has become a Lawbinder?"
As Yuanxiang walked, he asked curiously. Fu Hua thought for a moment and nodded, saying:
"Although I have never heard of a Honkai Beast becoming a Herrscher so far, we still need to be wary of such things. But now it seems that I was worrying too much."
Fu Hua smiled and said softly:
"Chi You still doesn't meet the standard to be chosen as a Herrscher. I was just flustered. By the way, have I told you about the Imaginary Tree and the Sea of Quanta?"
At this moment, Fu Hua suddenly remembered something and whispered in Yuan Xiang's ear. After seeing Yuan Xiang shake his head, the immortal continued, "Thanks to the memories you regained, I remembered some things that Dr. Mei mentioned occasionally in the last civilization era."
She said that the so-called Tree of Imaginary Numbers is rooted in the Sea of Quanta, and together they constitute the Collapsed World, engaged in an endless competition. Time flows along the trunk of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, branching out into infinite worlds like a crown. Each branch nurtures a world, mostly imaginary spaces, but occasionally, real spaces with life will emerge, like the world I inhabit now.
At this point, Fu Hua paused for a moment, then continued in a slightly heavy tone:
"Dr. Mei speculates that Honkai is a mechanism that emerged from the competition between the Imaginary Tree and the Sea of Quanta, used to select and correct the direction of the branches' development. Worlds that cannot survive the Honkai baptism will be eliminated and fall into the Sea of Quanta, turning into incomplete world bubbles. If that's the case, then our battle might really be going to be tough."
Although he couldn't see it, Gensou could still sense the bitterness in Fu Hua's tone. The boy paused for a moment, then softly asked the fusion warrior from the previous era:
"Then...Dr. Mei also said what this world bubble would become if it passed the test?"
"No."
Fu Hua smiled and said softly:
"While hope is necessary, in our time, hope that was too distant was worthless, so we never talked about it. But now that I think about it, that world must have been better than it is now. At least there shouldn't have been another collapse."
"Since you can't figure it out, then just live well."
Yuanxiang grabbed Fu Hua's arm and pulled him forward slightly to prevent him from slipping, then said seriously:
"To borrow a phrase from my friend, let's make a promise: one day in the future, I will definitely dispel the Honkai and bring a world you can't even imagine to this place!"
"Okay... I'll wait for you, wait for that day to come, cough cough cough!!"
As they went deeper, the Honkai energy mist around them became increasingly dense, so dense that it was truly suffocating. At that moment, Genji suddenly sensed something and reached out to grab it, but Fu Hua abruptly stopped him. In that instant, Genji saw a flash of dark blue light. If he continued to reach out, he would probably be severed by the quantum fluctuations.
"The Xuanyuan Sword..."
Thanks to the quantum space fluctuations, Genji and Fu Hua were able to see clearly what they had sensed: it was the Key of Domination, the true Key of Domination, not the Honkai projection resembling Danzhu Cangxuan that was eroding Himeko Murata.
"Let's go, the road ahead is beyond our exploration."
Fu Hua frowned slightly and said softly:
"The fluctuations in the Sea of Quanta are far too frequent. Perhaps in the next second, this place will become the true Sea of Quanta. We need to request reinforcements from Destiny for this matter. Otherwise, once it breaks out, China may be doomed."
"Okay, then hold on tight."
Fu Hua knew very well that if the Xuanyuan Sword was damaged, then all the seals left by her old friends would have become ineffective. However, what puzzled her was that even though she and Yuanxiang had come so close, they had not yet triggered Chi You's reaction. This was quite unusual. Chi You's characteristic was that it grew by eating the earth. As it continued to devour the land, its size and strength would grow accordingly. This was its nature, an action it would take after awakening. Therefore, Fu Hua realized that the place originally used to seal Chi You had quietly undergone an unimaginable change.
Yuanxiang also sensed the seriousness in Fu Hua's tone and hurriedly carried Fu Hua away. With the help of 'Cyclone', they rushed out of the Nine Netherworld and out of Chi You's sealed land in just a few seconds, returning to the Hyperion.
At the same time, to Gensou's surprise, he also saw two familiar faces on the warship: Rita Losweather and Durandal, both of whom were wearing Valkyrie armor and looked ready for battle.
"What happened?"
"Yuanxiang, your arm?"
Gensou and Durandal spoke at the same time, their unspoken understanding silencing the others. The boy waved his hand dismissively, saying:
"You know my constitution, this is nothing to me. But you all look so serious. What happened in southern China?"
"It's 'World Serpent,' the organization to which the guy with the black mask and black umbrella you met last time belongs."
World Serpent uses the ouroboros as its emblem and takes fighting against the Honkai as its mission. It believes that life is just a series of information expressions, and the world is a flowing collection of information that can be easily read, manipulated, and changed. This organization has been trying various human modification researches, and it is said that the integration of humans and machines in their field has progressed to the point of quantum computing in the brain.
After giving Yuanxiang a brief explanation, Durandal said with a serious expression:
"When we were dealing with the fluctuations in the Sea of Quanta in southern China, we encountered people from the World Serpent. According to our investigation, they were the ones who caused this disturbance in the Sea of Quanta, and their target is the Judgment-class Honkai Beast Chi You!"
"What do they need this for?"
Kiana scratched her head in confusion and whispered:
"That's a Honkai Beast! Should we catch it and eat it?"
"Idiot Kiana, we're talking about serious matters now, don't mess around."
Bronya casually remarked about the white fluffy creature, then looked at Genji and said:
"According to the data we just analyzed with the Undying Blade, the World Serpent wanted to attract the attention of Destiny by using the fluctuations of the Quantum Sea to facilitate their actions. Coincidentally, small-scale Honkai waves broke out in the sky above Chi You's seal site and in the area where they were operating, which led to the current situation."
"I think the situation is probably worse than you imagine."
Gensou recounted his and Fu Hua's experiences below, except for the parts about Danzhu and Cangxuan, which were modified and concealed to consider Fu Hua's feelings. Everything else was true, and he even projected it using 'Luna' to show it to everyone on the Hyperion. Finally, he said in a heavy tone:
"Although we don't know what's inside, I'm afraid..."
"Headmaster! Something's happened!"
Just then, a sudden report interrupted Gensou's words. Everyone rushed to the bridge to check the submitted footage—on the sea surface below the warship, pieces of what appeared to be dismembered, dried-up corpses were floating, as if all the nutrients had been squeezed out. Each piece was enormous; the pieces alone, pieced together, seemed to be the size of the Hyperion. This inevitably brought to mind a certain presence, the terrifying creature they had just explored.
"That's... Chi You?"
Theresa's expression stiffened, and she subconsciously glanced slowly at Genji beside her, while Fu Hua, with a grave expression, nodded and took over the conversation:
"It's pretty much a done deal. There's probably nothing else beneath the surface. Headmaster, please send an emergency call to headquarters. It seems this matter has exceeded the scope of the Far East Branch and the Undying Blade."
"Rita."
