"Bianca, you've been a huge help. Without you, I would have died."
Yuanxiang smiled bitterly and said softly, "That's the truth. Without this Valkyrie finding the weakness of that projection in the Sea of Quanta, I would probably have had to pay an even more terrible price to survive before the Dark Knight lost the power to maintain his form."
"You're welcome. It's what I should do."
Bianca reached out and touched the blood on Genji's face, but when she noticed the boy's unfocused eyes, she felt a pang of heartache. The attack had been so sudden and unexpected, injuring him to such an extent. In her memories, he had never appeared so disheveled...
"Bianca, you go ahead, I have something to take care of."
"Um?!"
Just as Bianca was feeling heartbroken, Genji's words made her suddenly freeze. Then, she subconsciously looked down and saw the boy holding a broken memory chip. Red and blue data were slowly flowing out of it and drifting into the Sea of Quanta.
"What are you doing...."
"I'll give it a try. Well, never mind, I can't explain it. I'll go back."
Yuanxiang knew very well that this was the last connection Danzhu and Cangxuan left in this world. Once this data was completely lost, the only way to find a way to bring these two back to life was for Fu Hua to issue him a commission. However, these 'fire-bearers' from the previous civilization era involved far too much time, and Yuanxiang was worried about whether he could bear the cost. Moreover, he had never failed a commission involving time, which brought up a new problem—
That is, what will happen to the person you saved if your mission fails in the final stage?
There are many speculations, some good and some bad, but this is a matter of life and death, and it is not something to gamble on. So Yuanxiang wanted to take this opportunity to try. Even though he was not in good condition at the moment, Fu Hua had paid too much to eliminate the Honkai, so it was only right to find a way to reward her.
"You should go back quickly, Bianca. I remember your power is still unstable and you can't maintain your movements in the Sea of Quanta for too long. So go back quickly. The Hyperion still needs your care. And remember to keep it a secret."
Gensou raised a finger to shush Bianca, then smiled and said:
"If anyone asks about my whereabouts, just say I went home, please."
"...I understand, but until we meet again, I will continue to venture into the Sea of Quanta to search for you."
Bianca spoke earnestly to Genji before transforming into a golden light and disappearing into the Sea of Quanta. Genji took a deep breath, grabbed the scattered red and blue data fragments, and moved through this 'ocean' filled with countless possibilities and changes. At the same time, he felt something expanding and moving within his body, which he assumed was the blessing of the Mother Goddess Tiamat. This was the source of Genji's confidence in his actions, but he needed to act quickly, as his condition was truly poor and the seed had not yet truly sprouted. He had to hurry, or he would truly perish.
Gengo gripped the data tightly in his hand, pursuing the same 'result'. The power of 'Glory' had quietly emerged, blessing him and protecting him from the impact of the reversed time. However, Gengo immediately dispelled it. His time resistance had been improved without him even realizing it, so there was no need to waste precious power to resist this level of time impact.
"Is this... the end for us?"
"Yes, my lovely sister."
Rewinding time, Danzhu and Cangxuan lay within Chi You's body. The two looked up at what appeared to be rock, but was actually the inner wall of the stomach of a Judgment-level Honkai Beast. They had given their all, but the final outcome would depend on whether the girl wielding the Xuanyuan Sword could suppress it.
"Speaking of which, sister..."
Danzhu's voice was already growing weak; in her final moments, she no longer had the strength to act cute. She gently moved her hand, hooking it around Cangxuan's finger, and whispered:
"Hua...you..."
"I left something behind to keep her company, but the power supply hasn't been ready yet... Danzhu?"
Before she could finish speaking, Cang Xuan suddenly realized something, paused, and let out a long sigh, as if expelling all the remaining life force in her body. Then she slowly closed her eyes. Under the onslaught of Honkai energy, the bodies of the two sisters were dissipating on their own. They would not allow themselves to become Honkai zombies; this was their last stand. But at the moment Cang Xuan closed her eyes, she seemed to vaguely see a bruised and swollen boy suddenly appear and reach out his hand. At the same time, she seemed to feel something touching her, but that was all. Endless darkness came from the depths of her consciousness, and Cang Xuan helplessly gave up thinking.
But within that seemingly eternal tranquility, a blinding light broke through, instantly igniting the entire world. Everywhere was a blood-red hue, causing Cang Xuan to shift uncomfortably, his hand instinctively reaching to the side as he murmured softly:
"Hmm...who turned on the light? It's so bright...Danzhu, turn the light off..."
"Sister, please don't ask me about this kind of thing. I don't want to get out of bed either..."
Hearing the familiar voice beside him, Cang Xuan didn't realize anything at first. He was about to push his sister when he suddenly realized something and stood up abruptly. He and Dan Zhu, who had also realized something, looked at each other in bewilderment. At the same time, they subconsciously groped their bodies, but at this moment they discovered that their bodies were in a semi-transparent state. Although they could touch themselves, they could not touch each other.
"us....."
"This is....."
"Not dead?!" x2
The sisters gasped in astonishment, then fell into a momentary daze, before finally speaking in unison again:
Why is that?
"That's because of the power of miracles, of course."
A gentle voice came from the side, and only then did they notice a wounded boy lying under the tree. His shirt was stained red with blood, as if he had suffered a severe injury, but the blood had now turned black, indicating that the bleeding had stopped. The boy looked at them without any apparent concern, chuckling softly as he whispered:
"Don't rush, let me rest for a bit. Once I've rested, I'll give you a massage and see if I can truly bring you back to life. So... let me take a nap first..."
364 Go see the current Hua!
As it turns out, even without going through the door to rescue people, there is still a price to pay. At least, the result Yuanxiang has reached so far is the same. If 'Glory' hadn't been as reliable as ever, Yuanxiang wouldn't have had the strength to bring Danzhu Cangxuan back from the past, given his condition at the time.
However, the price for doing so was that the 'Glory' cycle was slightly interrupted. Blood immediately gushed from the cracks that were not suppressed, and Yuanxiang could feel his heart emitting a strange shriek. It was the first time the boy had ever known that human organs could make such eerie sounds.
But this change only lasted for a moment. After giving up the 'reverse time', this ever-forward force immediately brought Yuanxiang back to the point in time where he should have been. It was still Mount Taixu. This made Yuanxiang sigh. This place was really related to him. If possible in the future, he would like to build a small house here so that he can come here to escape the summer heat when he goes on vacation.
For now, let's put the future aside. I'm too tired. I was so awful in the past, I actually hurt myself like this...
Yuanxiang gave up thinking, letting his tense will dissipate, and fell into the dormant darkness. In reality, Cangxuan and Danzhu looked at each other, staring at the boy's face. They vaguely remembered that before their lives ended, the boy's figure had indeed appeared in front of them. It seemed that the reason they and their sister (older sister) had survived until now was all because of this boy.
"Sister, can you... feel it?"
"Um......"
Cang Xuan nodded solemnly. They hadn't sensed it from a distance, but upon getting closer, they immediately detected the ominous aura emanating from the young man—the power of collapse. However, what unsettled the sisters was that, compared to the collapse, two even more terrifying forces were clashing within him. It was like a battle between gods and demons in a story, with two opposing forces locked in a life-or-death struggle. The intensity of the clash even gave Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu the illusion that they would be torn apart if they got too close.
But at that moment, a streak of light flashed from the sky, and two beams of light, one black and one green, entered the boy's body. In that instant, all his power was calmed down, and he could not sense anything unusual. It was as if the boy lying there asleep was just an ordinary boy.
"Sister... what should we do?"
Danzhu shrank back in fear. From the last era to now, they had seen everything, but they still couldn't understand this strange body. They could only attribute the problem to the Honkai, and they were worried about what kind of Herrscher product this boy was.
"Anyway, let's try to make contact first, Danzhu. If things don't go well, you know what will happen."
"Ah."
Cangxuan is a warrior with exceptional stress response, making her the best choice for such a risky task. Danzhu is responsible for covering the rear; if necessary, she will have to take on the responsibility of forcibly removing her sister from the danger zone, in any way they choose. This is an understanding they reached in the previous era.
but....
Cang Xuan poked Yuan Xiang's hand, then poked his way up his arm, finally pressing it against the boy's cheek. He turned to look at Dan Zhu, who was raising his fist as if ready to punch him away at any moment, and said expressionlessly:
"It doesn't seem dangerous."
"This...it was so scary just now."
Danzhu lowered her fist, curiously leaned closer, and touched Yuanxiang's other cheek, feeling its unusually cool temperature. She whispered:
"Sister, I have a feeling this person is going to die."
"Actually, this person has had no heartbeat since the beginning, and I can't feel any pulse at all now."
"A ghost?!"
Upon hearing Cangxuan's answer, Danzhu's expression immediately froze, like a cat whose fur had been ruffled in fright. She mechanically turned her head to look at her older sister and said:
"Is this considered a 'soul remnant' caused by the Honkai?"
"Idiot, calm down."
Cang Xuan raised his hand and tapped Dan Zhu's head, looking at Yuan Xiang's chest rising and falling with his breath, and said softly:
“This person’s situation might be more complicated than we thought. Danzhu, haven’t you noticed? We’re trying to contact this guy right now, even though we can’t see each other.”
“There is a certain inevitable and inseparable connection between us and him.”
Danzhu answered immediately, while a hint of curiosity appeared in her eyes as she looked at Yuanxiang.
"Anyway... let's take a look at his injuries first."
Cang Xuan sighed, reached out to unbutton Yuan Xiang's clothes, and said helplessly:
"Although I don't know how I survived, I still have to seize this opportunity as much as possible if I can, otherwise I will only be able to leave Fu Hua all alone."
"Ah."
Danzhu nodded and moved forward to see if there was anything she could help with. But after the red-stained white shirt was unbuttoned, the two sisters stared at the boy's chest in stunned silence.
Putting aside the three claw marks, this man's chest was marked with more than a dozen black and red fist marks. These were not just bruises; if you gently touched them, you could even feel obvious indentations. Moreover, around the fist marks, there were cracks of unknown origin, like a broken statue. Although there was a golden power within the cracks, seemingly suppressing the injuries, the bright red blood flowed like molten lava about to burst forth under the golden light, like a dam about to collapse.
At the heart location, they saw a pulsating light, but on the light was also a fist imprint. It was this attack that caused a strange noise to emanate from the entity that replaced the heart. However, the noise was very faint, and one had to put their ear almost directly to it to hear it, but it was still not a good omen.
"Sister, how did he survive?"
Danzhu stared at Cangxuan in disbelief, muttering in a low voice, "Even a fusion warrior would likely be beyond saving with this kind of injury, but this..."
"It must be the power of a miracle."
Cang Xuan's expression remained largely unchanged, but her voice trembled slightly. She recalled the boy's words before he lost consciousness and murmured softly:
"Let's move him to a place where he can sleep a little more comfortably first. Danzhu, you take good care of him, I'll go and look around."
"okay."
Danzhu raised her hand and nodded vigorously in response. After Cangxuan left, she shifted her body again, letting Yuanxiang rest his head on her lap. Looking at his somewhat youthful face, she tilted her head curiously, wondering if she had ever seen him before, whether he was also a member of the previous civilization era, and what made him drag his body like this to save her sisters. Could it be... this is the trope of a reincarnated hero traveling through time to save his lover? This kind of theme was very popular in light novels back then. I get it, I'll write a light novel called "My Hero Came from the Future to Save Me According to the Light Novel Plot," and after some revisions, it'll definitely be a hit! Hmm?
Just as Danzhu was starting to think about how to write the beginning of the book, she saw her older sister run back with a rather strange expression. Curious, Danzhu asked what had happened, but Cangxuan simply pointed behind her and whispered:
"You'll see when you come with me. Well, it's a bit beyond my expectations."
???
Danzhu had several question marks on her head, but she didn't say much. She dressed Yuanxiang again, and then the older sister carried the lower body while the younger sister carried the upper body. The two of them carried Yuanxiang to the location that Cangxuan pointed to. The older sister found a dojo, which was the same dojo that Fu Hua used to use as the alias Chiyuan Immortal.
"Eh, no..."
The moment Danzhu entered the dojo, her attention was drawn to something on the table. Wasn't that curvaceous, graceful figure the one she had created based on Hua?!
"Idiot, snap out of it! Don't forget we're carrying someone!"
Seeing that they had stopped ahead, Cang Xuan immediately reminded her. She knew all too well her younger sister's reclusive nature. She always felt that if she didn't occasionally take her out, this person would really stay in the room and grow moldy.
"Oh, sister, the bed is over here. Hmm... it's very clean. Did you just clean it?"
“Danzhu...”
"Hehehe, I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten. We won't run into each other, it was just a joke."
During the sisters' conversation, Yuanxiang was placed on the bed, and then Cangxuan Danzhu began to explore the dojo. Danzhu naturally went to examine the figure. Although she was not quite sure from the details that this was the one she had made for Hua, there was no doubt that its prototype was the one she had made. This was the confidence of a veteran figure collector and figure master. But... why?
Danzhu tilted his head, somewhat puzzled. This shouldn't be happening. Although Hua didn't care about the figurine and said he could do whatever he wanted with it, it shouldn't be here. Judging from the trees, climate, and species in this mountain range, there were subtle differences from the area where the Yellow Emperor's tribe operated. Moreover, the concentration of Honkai energy in the air was much lower than there. What... what's going on?
"Danzhu, I have an idea."
Cang Xuan turned his head and looked at his younger sister, saying softly:
"Is it possible that we have unintentionally spent a very, very long time?"
"what?!"
