The world is broken, my Valkyrie is doubled

"How about what?"

"The future, the future. I only have memories before the fire, and I don't know what happened in the next 500 years. I just absorbed some of your memories and realized that it has been 500 years since the fire. Now that you are alive again, what happened to those guys who hurt you back then?"

"died."

"Did you kill him?"

"No, that's not it." Fu Hua shook her head. "I went to find them and wanted to understand why they did this. After I got the answer, I left, but they died too."

"Then it seems that I killed him."

"?" Fu Hua felt puzzled.

"I forgot to tell you that I am just the Herrscher of Consciousness in your memory, not the real her. Although it makes me uncomfortable to admit this. Since I was born in that era, and was even born because of those seven people, it is normal for me to kill them, isn't it? I am not like you, who would let them go so easily." said the Herrscher of Consciousness.

"Well, that's probably it... After all, I have lost this memory. I only know that I looked for them, and then they died. Even the daughter of one of them mistook me for the murderer and attacked me." Fu Hua said slowly.

"Oh, this gene of betraying teachers and destroying ancestors is really passed down from generation to generation. Look, even if you let others go, will they let you go? I really don't understand why you choose to forgive them. Do I need to teach you the truth about the treacherous human heart? Do you think that if you forgive them, they will be grateful? No, they will only hate why they neglected to let you survive. Now, the lies they carefully crafted and the reputation they have accumulated will probably be burned to ashes!"

The words of the Herrscher of Knowledge were very sharp, but they were indeed not wrong. Fu Hua nodded and said, "Most of what you said is true, but there is one thing, I have not forgiven them. I spared their lives only because I did not want to cause more killings. Even when I came to them, it was not for revenge, but I just wanted a reason."

"Another reason?"

"Yes, another reason, the reason they wanted to kill me. At that time, because of my memory loss, I wanted to know the truth, and I also wanted to know why they did that... I also wanted to know what kind of person I was in their eyes. After getting the answers, they were no longer relevant to me. Whether it was hatred or conspiracy, they could not resist the erosion of time like me. In the end, they will only become passers-by in this long time, dust to dust, earth to earth." Fu Hua said as she looked forward. The gate of Taixu Temple was already within reach.

The Herrscher of Knowledge seemed to have noticed this, and therefore said, "You can really let it go. But aren't you worried that if they don't die after you leave, they will ambush you and kill you again like they did now?"

"do not worry."

"Huh? Why?"

The Herrscher of Consciousness was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that she would get such a firm answer from the other party as soon as she asked the question. She couldn't help but ask subconsciously.

Fu Hua did not answer directly, but walked straight into the gate of Taixu Temple. At this time, the seven disciples hidden inside began to take action. First, they took away Fu Hua's vision and hearing, and then Lin Chaoyu's hesitation gave Fu Hua an opportunity, and this was the most critical sword of Cheng Lingshuang, the Taixu Sword God.

"Hu——" What the seven disciples had not expected was that Fu Hua had arrived in front of Cheng Lingshuang at some point, and her finger hit Cheng Lingshuang right between the eyebrows... Fu Hua's fist was faster and stronger than Cheng Lingshuang's. Even if he had lost his vision and hearing, Fu Hua's years of fighting instinct and experience still allowed him to catch the opponent.

The memory scene was also shattered at this moment, turning into a blank scene. Fu Hua slowly withdrew her hand and said, "Now I will not let them kill me again."

Chapter 370: The Thousand-Year-Old Feather, Floating in the World (Part 2)

"You..." The Herrscher of Consciousness looked at the other party's actions, his mind a little confused for a moment, and he didn't know what to say.

“…Heh, I underestimated you. You actually have such confidence and momentum. You don’t look like someone who is confusedly looking for reasons.” said the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Maybe it's because I got some answers here." Fu Hua retracted his fist and then said slowly.

"You got the answer? What was it?"

"That's what I just said, the answers I got from them. In their eyes, I am a master who only knows how to kill any demons he sees, and is unkind. They all have their own selfish desires, but I have never paid attention to them. Perhaps it is this sense of distance that led them to this step. They certainly made a big mistake, but I am also responsible." Fu Hua reviewed the past and continued:

"I used to be like that, without too many causal connections with the mortal world. There were too many reasons that pushed me to eventually become that cold and indifferent Red Kite Immortal. I know all of this, because this is the price to pay for carrying the mission and the divine voice, and having a lifespan that seems to have no end. And as my own humanity gradually disappears... Maybe one day, I will become a real tool that fights the Honkai for the sake of fighting the Honkai, but forget the real reason that drives me to keep doing this... No, to be precise, I have indeed forgotten it, and now I am looking for it."

"What will happen if this reason is missing?" said the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Just like what you see now. If you forget your original intention and lose yourself, you will eventually be alienated by the Honkai and become its executioner who slaughters the human world." After Fu Hua finished speaking, she continued to move forward and began to move towards the next memory.

"Huh? You're leaving now and not going to continue with this memory? Come to think of it, didn't you see what the Herrscher of Corrosion did?" asked the Herrscher of Consciousness.

"The Herrscher's backup plan was left after I was dismembered by these seven people, so you didn't see it. As for this memory, you don't need to read it anymore. Firstly, I have found some answers and understand what I should find back. There is not much point in reading it anymore. Secondly, didn't you just say that the scene behind it is disgusting?"

Fu Hua smiled faintly, then left this memory without looking back. The seven disciples who killed their master became a thing of the past. Fu Hua would not be defeated by that memory. On the contrary, she understood her own confusion and what she should look for - her original intention.

……

The second scene also ended quickly. This was a little guy who looked very similar to Cang Xuan, but was much smaller than Cang Xuan. In her memory, the little guy always dragged Fu Hua, wanting to take Fu Hua to enjoy things that had nothing to do with the collapse, but she was not very successful every time. Although she had been racking her brains and doing her best to make Fu Hua establish a connection with the world, Fu Hua was getting further and further away from the world and was alone.

In the end, the little girl closed her eyes without ever fulfilling the expectations of her creator.

The scene is short, with playfulness and laughter. But at the end, there is an indescribable sadness. This is the moment when the last anchor between Fu Hua and the mortal world is broken. After this, Fu Hua gradually becomes the immortal who forgets all emotions and kills all demons.

"That little thing, I remember it was an armed puppet created by Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu, and its name was Book of Cang Xuan. It was a rare and interesting creature. It's a pity that even such a mechanical creation could not withstand the erosion of time." The Herrscher of Consciousness introduced.

"I disappointed her after all." After hearing the regret left at the end of Cang Xuan's book and comparing it with her own experience, Fu Hua could only sigh.

"You did disappoint her. I just asked you to choose again, whether you would listen to Xiao Xuan or continue to fulfill your mission, but you still made the same choice as in your memory. Your brain must have been burned by the Divine Sound. Or are you deliberately not choosing to listen to Xiao Xuan because you are worried about the whispers that just eroded the Herrscher that advised you to enjoy yourself with Xiao Xuan?" The Herrscher of Knowledge said with a very unhappy look on his face.

"So, you also think that the choice I made was wrong, right?" Fu Hua asked.

"Of course! What's wrong with listening to Xiao Xuan? There are so many fun things in this world, why not enjoy them? Even if time passes, the people you have established connections with will eventually leave, but so what? Mortals will still experience joys and sorrows even if they live for a hundred years. It's just that you have experienced more of them. Maybe the separations and sadness have increased, but hasn't the happiness brought by new encounters and new connections increased? Your choice is like giving up your own happiness in order to avoid sadness. No matter how you think about it, there is something wrong with it!"

"..." Fu Hua did not answer, but began to think after listening to the words of the Herrscher of Knowledge. Seeing that Fu Hua listened carefully, the Herrscher of Knowledge continued to express his own opinions:

"Besides, even if it's not for this reason, do you still think that doing those things with Xiao Xuan will really delay you from dealing with Honkai? Don't be ridiculous, Honkai doesn't appear every day, and you obviously spend most of your time in the mountains. Why don't you use this time to travel around with Xiao Xuan? The mission of fighting Honkai does not conflict with the realization of Xiao Xuan's wish. After fighting Honkai all your life, what's wrong with enjoying it?"

"Wait, what did you just say?" Suddenly, a light bulb seemed to flash in Fu Hua's mind, and she asked in a slightly anxious tone.

"After fighting for a lifetime, I'm broken. What's wrong with enjoying myself?"

"Not this one, the previous one!"

"The mission of fighting against Honkai does not conflict with fulfilling Xiao Xuan's wish. What's wrong with this sentence? You didn't really believe what the Herrscher of Corrosion said, thinking that if you choose Xiao Xuan to enjoy life with her, you won't fight against Honkai, right? If Xiao Xuan and I suddenly encounter a Honkai incident while traveling, I will just curse it and then you can see if I can blow it up with one punch." The Herrscher of Consciousness said with a clenched fist.

"No, I am actually the same as you. I made the same choice as you." Fu Hua said.

"Huh?" It was the Herrscher of Knowledge who was surprised. He said, "Impossible. Since Xiaoxuan, your memories are almost all about those rigid training, great principles, and fighting against Honkai. When did you go out to enjoy yourself alone?"

"It's not about pleasure, but about fulfilling Xiao Xuan's wish." Fu Hua looked at the Cang Xuan Book, which had closed its eyes and turned off, and then said, "She tried every means to make me closer to people, and even disturbed my practice... to stop me from using Yu Du Chen. She, like them, hopes that I can find my own happiness, rather than devoting myself completely to the mission of fighting Honkai."

"But as you said, realizing such a wish does not completely conflict with the mission of fighting against Honkai. So, I remembered Xiao Xuan's words, and one day, I made that choice." Fu Hua began to fast forward the scenes of her memory, and the scene finally stopped at the Jiuyou Land, which was also the once destroyed South Coast. There, Fu Hua killed the Jiuyou followers who had gone astray and turned into dead soldiers, and saved a little girl.

"Huh? This is... Lin Chaoyu?" The Herrscher of Consciousness frowned when he saw it. This was the memory of the six-year-old Lin Chaoyu who was almost sacrificed when Fu Hua killed the Jiuyou sect members who wanted to resurrect Chi You.

"Well... If I really only wanted to fight against Honkai, how could I have taken Chao Yu in as my disciple on a whim?" Fu Hua said slowly.

"You...hiss, what should I say? Should I say that your luck is too bad, or that your vision is too poor." The Herrscher of Knowledge held his forehead and said, "Your idea of ​​fulfilling Xiaoxuan's wish by taking in a disciple is worthy of recognition, but why did you choose her? And those people behind you, let alone."

"You can't say that. Just like you said, everyone has joys and sorrows. The seven of them and I didn't have a happy ending. It's indeed sad, hateful, and regrettable. But the encounter with these children and the wonderful time we had as master and disciple on Mount Taixu were also brought about by them. I... don't regret accepting them in."

Fu Hua stood with her hands behind her back, as if reminiscing, and said: "Perhaps this is why I died at their hands once."

"That's why you spared their lives, right? You're too kind and soft-hearted. Ha, how about the cold-blooded Red Kite Immortal? These disciples of yours are just like you, the master, with no judgment." The Herrscher of Knowledge shook his head and said, "You'd better not establish connections by taking in disciples in the future. Wouldn't it be better to just make friends or something? Otherwise, you'll raise another ungrateful person."

"My disciples...are not all like this." Fu Hua said slowly.

"Hmm? Aren't your disciples just these seven guys? Are there others?" The Herrscher of Consciousness only had memories up to the time when the seven disciples killed their master, so he didn't know about the existence of the man from more than ten years ago.

"Well... there is such a person."

"Who?"

"do not know……"

"Huh? What are you doing… Why do you look like you're going to cry?"

"I don't know..." When Fu Hua recalled the eighth disciple, for some reason, sadness welled up in her heart. This emotion was the same as the feeling she had when she closed her eyes after seeing the Cangxuan Book. But it was more profound. It was as if something was lost and could never be found again.

Chapter 371: The Highest Kindness is Like Water

Continuing to walk along the memory corridor, with the reminders of the Herrscher of Knowledge and the assistance of memory recovery, Fu Hua was also constantly searching for the memories she had lost, and reconnecting her present self with her past self.

The Herrscher of Knowledge talks a lot, and is straightforward and sometimes even a little extreme. However, he can always get to the heart of the matter, and Fu Hua can use this to figure out how she felt when she was in this situation.

Gradually, they have reached the period where Danzhu and Cangxuan accompany them and build civilization.

"Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu... are indeed one of the few friends you have in your life. It can be seen that they care about you very much. But in the end, they wanted you to relax and go investigate the anomalies in the South China Sea by themselves, which resulted in their deaths!" said the Herrscher of Consciousness.

"Cang Xuan... Dan Zhu..." These names should be familiar, but they sound so strange and awkward to me now. Why did I abandon all these precious things so easily? Was it just to fulfill that mission? But the shackles of Shen Yin were broken when I died 500 years ago. Then why am I still losing my memories? How could it be like this?

"Hey... old antique, what are you daydreaming about again? Have you figured out something?" The Herrscher of Consciousness felt like a nanny taking care of an elderly person. She had been suppressing her inner anxiety. Although the time deep in her consciousness was inconsistent with the time in the outside world, so much time had passed that the Herrscher of Consciousness had no idea what was going on outside.

"If you can't figure it out, let's talk about something else. The whispers from the Corrosion Herrscher just now were asking you whether you would choose to fight against Honkai or leave with Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu... Why do I feel like this guy is always using the same trick, always liking to put the things you value against the fight against Honkai, as if he knew for sure that once you choose to fight Honkai, you will definitely abandon these things. Old antique, are you that kind of person?"

Seeing that Fu Hua did not respond to him, the Herrscher of Knowledge had no choice but to speak casually.

"Am I such a person? Am I such a person...?" But after hearing the question from the Herrscher of Knowledge, Fu Hua kept repeating these words over and over again.

"You...what's wrong with you? What have you thought of?" Looking at Fu Hua repeating what he had said, the Herrscher of Knowledge knelt down with an indescribable feeling, shuddered, and asked.

"My seven disciples think that I am a cold and heartless immortal who only knows how to kill all demons. Xiao Xuan, Danzhu Cangxuan and the others are the same. As friends, they think that I look cold but am actually a very friendly person. It's just that they think that I focus too much on fighting Honkai and don't care about myself."

"Do you think these are me? Or, what kind of person do you think Fu Hua is?" Fu Hua asked in a deep voice.

"Why are you suddenly so obsessed with this? If I were to evaluate you, you are a stubborn person. Sometimes you get stuck in a rut without realizing it. Stubborn... just like the nickname I'm calling you now, old antique." The Herrscher of Knowledge shrugged and said, "But even if I have all the memories, I'm not you, old antique. After all, I've been exposed by someone, and he's finding all kinds of reasons why I don't look like Fu Hua. You should ask him this question."

"Who?"

"Achen, you wouldn't have forgotten even him... I can tell from your expression that you really forgot. Achen is Wang Chen!" said the Herrscher of Consciousness.

"Captain Wang Chen?" Fu Hua said with a frown.

"Don't you know each other?"

"He knows me...but it's just a subordinate relationship. Does he know me well?" Fu Hua asked curiously.

"...I think the memory of Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu can be stopped. You should go back to the previous era!" The Herrscher of Consciousness pushed Fu Hua forward. She was very angry. She had memories of Wang Chen, but Wang Chen did not recognize her as Fu Hua. The real Fu Hua, whom Wang Chen recognized, had forgotten Wang Chen. Such a gap was really unacceptable to the Herrscher of Consciousness.

Fu Hua didn't understand why the Herrscher of Knowledge suddenly became so excited, but the memories of the pre-civilization period were the most vague of all her memories, and even the scenes were difficult to reproduce. Now, Fu Hua felt that she was getting closer and closer to her former self, and she would eventually remember what she had in mind when she embarked on this path.

However, when the two were still rushing forward, they did not know that above the consciousness space, the eye filled with black air, His power finally broke a crack in the barrier of the consciousness space and began to seep in quietly.

……

In the field of external erosion

"Puff..." The blood at the corner of Wang Chen's mouth was purple-black. This was because he had suffered heavy damage from the collapse. Most of the people around him were depressed and in great pain. It was only because of Wang Chen's control that the Herrscher's erosion power could not completely defeat the others, especially Yae Rin and Lin, who had the weakest combat power.

"Is Xiaoshi not okay yet? It seems that the trump card that I originally wanted to save for use on the main body of the Herrscher has to be brought out now." Wang Chen felt that Lin and Yaezaki Rin were almost unable to hold on, so he planned to use the trick he learned from Muse to restrain the power of erosion in advance to take down this clone of the Herrscher first.

"I admit that you are very strong, but unfortunately, your strength and power cannot match mine. Once you get into a tug-of-war, you will be corroded to death by my corrosive power." The Herrscher of Corrosion looked at the two girls who had fainted in Yaezakura's arms, snorted coldly, and said, "You two are in the way. It's because of you two that I wasted so much time! I'll start with you!"

The Herrscher of Corrosion absorbed the corrosive power in the field, gathered it together and spit it in the direction of Yaezakura. Yaezakura gritted her teeth and held the knife, protecting Yaezakura and Lin behind her to resist the fierce attack.

Wang Chen began to activate the Pure White Sky, preparing to block the attack from the Corrosion Ruler.

"Om-"

"Wow..."

But suddenly, a clear sword sound was heard in the sky, followed by the sound of flowing water. A light blue stream of water fell from the sky, forming a water curtain that blocked the attack of the Erosion Ruler.

"This! How is this possible! Where did this sword come from?" The Herrscher of Erosion was shocked. How could such a variable appear on the battlefield now?

"Is this... Ruoshui Sword?" Wang Chen saw the familiar sword in front of him and Yae Sakura, and naturally recognized this sword. But wasn't the Ruoshui Sword in the first level of Fu Hua's consciousness space guarding Fu Hua's body? But why did it appear in this second level of consciousness space now?

The Ruoshui Sword trembled, and the hilt was pointed at Wang Chen. Was it meant for him to hold it? Wang Chen didn't think much about it, and held it in his hand. He only felt a cool feeling, which was constantly transmitted from the palm of his hand to his mind. The original painful pollution in his mind was actually washed away. The Ruoshui Sword actually had the effect of purifying the mind, and invisibly healed the mental pollution caused by the erosion force.

"Yes, the highest good is like water. Water benefits all things without contention. Since ancient times, water has had the function of cleansing the soul. And in the soul, there is also a saying that the mind is like still water. In the artistic conception, water is the least affected existence. No wonder the Ruoshui Sword has not been contaminated by the force of erosion. I didn't expect that it actually contains this intention." Wang Chen used the power of the Ruoshui Sword to prioritize purifying the spirits of Yae Rin and Lin.

"Damn it! Could this be the backup plan left by Fu Hua? My power of erosion can't even penetrate this water curtain!?" The Herrscher of Erosion mobilized all his strength, but was unable to shake the water curtain at all.

"I just don't believe that a mere dead object will not run out of power! How long can this new sword protect you!" The Herrscher of Erosion mobilized the entire field, and large-scale attacks all fell on the water curtain.

Chapter 372: Fu Hua's Nature

"Come, let Dad take a good look at you. My dear daughter... the next time I see you will be in half a year."

A steady and familiar voice sounded. And then nothing was left. No one saw who was saying this, nor did they see any memory scenes. Only this voice was left echoing in this dark memory corridor.

"Your memory here is too severely lost. Only the sound is left, not even the picture... Let me look for it... Tsk, why is everything a little blurry to me?"

The Herrscher of Consciousness used his consciousness power to begin restoring the scene in this area, but even after it was restored, there was only a blurry scene, and a middle-aged man could be vaguely seen lying on the hospital bed.

"From what he said, I know that he is your father. If I remember correctly, this should be your last... So, is there anything you want to say?" The Herrscher of Consciousness paused and asked.

"That girl..." Fu Hua looked at the extremely clear image of herself beside the bed. That was her original self and the only image left after all the memories ended.

"That's you too. You've really changed more than I thought. Even though I have all your memories, I'm still a little surprised that you were such a powerless, scared little girl at the beginning."

The Herrscher of Knowledge looked at the obedient girl in front of her parents, walking out of the ward, her eyes full of confusion about the future, and couldn't help but speak.

"Then from your perspective, what should I be like at the beginning? A natural warrior?" Fu Hua continued to look down following the steps of the young girl Hua and asked.

"No, I'm more of a stubborn person than a warrior. And most of the time, you need others to make decisions for you, and you do whatever they tell you to do."

"Whether it was Dr. Mei's plan, Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu's suggestions, or Xiao Xuan's proposal, you listened to them all, and in many cases made the choices you thought were right. But it seems that you never thought about doing something on your own. In the memory just now, weren't you quite proactive? You didn't do what your father said, but instead wanted to inherit your father's martial arts school."

The Herrscher of Knowledge finished speaking, but saw Fu Hua shaking her head, so he asked, "Why? Did I say something wrong?"

"Well, it seems that I took the initiative to inherit my father's martial arts school, but... it can't be considered my own dream. I don't know why. But I have this feeling, as if someone has said this to me." Fu Hua said softly.

"Hua, do you have any dreams?"
