The civilization before the collapse, heroes and heroes are reborn with me

After Otto left, Cecilia fell into thought. She wondered if she could try to get the Black Abyss White Flower. After all, no child of the Shanyat family could resist the temptation of the Black Abyss White Flower. Anyway, the Black Abyss White Flower had been salvaged a long time ago and was now stored in the God's Key Storage Room of the Destiny Airport. It was easy for her to get in and out. She just had to steal her father's pass card. After all, her father was the current head of the Shanyat family and the user of the Black Abyss White Flower.

And there’s no rule that says children can’t touch Heiyuan Baihua, right?

Unlike a certain time and space, although Cecilia also grew up in Tianming Airport since she was a child, she usually behaved very gently and was taught a lot of etiquette, but the child's nature was not suppressed by anyone. After all, etiquette was for outsiders to see, and family members should do what they should do.

Cecilia acted right away. She observed her father's actions for several days, and finally found an opportunity. She stole her father's pass and ran all the way to the God's Key storage room at Tianming Airport.

But what she didn't notice was that after she left, her father came out from another place and looked in the direction she left with a complicated expression. After the Catholic came over, he found that this girl was always observing him from time to time. He knew with his knees that she had feelings for Heiyuan Baihua. He had this thought when he was a child, and then he was discovered by Cecilia's grandfather and beaten up.

After thinking about it, he decided to follow and see. He thought that Cecilia's behavior was not a bad idea, so he just touched the Black Abyss White Flower. With the height of this child, he couldn't even touch the Black Abyss White Flower...

Moreover, he just didn't want his child to take on the responsibility of fighting against Honkai too early. Once he got the recognition of Heiyuan Baihua, it would not be something that could be dealt with casually. Just like him, although he can use Heiyuan Baihua now, it does not mean that he and Heiyuan Baihua are compatible enough. It is quite difficult to use the second rated power.

Cecilia walked into the storage room of the Key of God. She was a little surprised that the guards seemed to have gone to rest. Before she came, she thought for a long time about how to pretend that she was "ordered" to come and take a look. The father who followed behind her looked up at the surveillance camera speechlessly. This must be the bishop's intention, right?

How could the place where the Key of God is stored be unguarded? Where did all the various divine machines of destiny that had been here before go?

Does the bishop really want to see if Cecilia can pick up the Black Abyss White Flower? That's right, for the bishop, the sooner a useful person is trained, the better... The problem is that Cecilia can't pick up the Black Abyss White Flower unless she is given a stool or something.

On the other side, Cecilia came to Heiyuan Baihua, looking at the lance in front of her that was taller than her, she didn't know how to hold it. After standing on tiptoe, she found that she still couldn't reach the handle. She could only look at the white flower shell of Heiyuan Baihua and pout.

I forgot about my height problem...but since I'm here, I should at least touch it before I leave, right?

She reached out to touch the shell of Heiyuan Baihua's lance, but as soon as she touched Heiyuan Baihua, it was as if she was stabbed by something, and she subconsciously withdrew her hand.

Cecilia was stunned for a moment, then reached out her hand again in defiance.

Just when she touched the black abyss white flower again, she suddenly felt dizzy and came to a desolate desert. She looked up to see the dark sky. She looked around and saw a silver-haired young man sitting on a dark throne, and behind him was a blue planet.

Cecilia stared at the young man blankly, and the young man also looked at her.

……

Cecilia suddenly woke up and felt someone was looking at her. She looked beside her and saw her father looking at her with a complicated expression, while the bishop was standing next to her father with a smile on his face.

She lowered her head again and found herself gently lifted up by the vines growing from the ground, and her hand was on the handle of Heiyuan Baihua's gun.

Interlude: Past Stories

"Cecilia, my daughter, I will give you one last chance to talk to that kid from Kaslana's family." Leopold Shaniat, who was already middle-aged, looked at his daughter and said seriously, "It is absolutely impossible for the two of you to be together. Do you understand?"

Cecilia sat on a chair in her room, her voice soft but firm: "I have made it very clear, whether it is to Siegfried, or to you and mother... I love him. I am very sure of this and will never change it."

"What's so good about that kid?" Leopold frowned. "Not only does he not do his job properly, he also abandoned his responsibilities to the Kaslana family and ran away from home... You have only been with him for such a short time, but you have already been led astray by him!"

Although my daughter was a little naughty before, she had never been so stubborn.

Cecilia was silent.

"Is it Anti-Entropy who is interfering? Do they really want to confront the Shaniyat family head-on?" Leopold put his hands behind his back and turned his gaze towards North America. "The Shaniyat has always been committed to fighting the Honkai, but we will not let anyone who wants to provoke us go easily!"

"Father, that has nothing to do with them!" said Cecilia.

"So what exactly do you like about that brat?!" Leopold looked straight into Cecilia's eyes.

Cecilia also looked directly into her father's eyes: "He is not as bad as you say. He does have his shortcomings, but he also has his own advantages!"

Leopold looked at his daughter's determined eyes and knew that she was really in love with the brat from Kaslana's family. To be fair, if it was someone from Kaslana's family, Leopold would not be too objecting, but Siegfried ran away from home just because he said he didn't want to be bound by the family, and it was almost regarded as a joke of Kaslana's family and circulated among the three major families!

After all, the Kaslana family has been fighting side by side with the Shaniyat family against the Honkai since ancient times. But he simply abandoned his family responsibilities and ran away!

Leopold sighed deeply. If his daughter really liked Siegfried, he, who always loved his daughter, would probably just test the boy's character to make sure he didn't deceive his daughter. But... things are often not that simple...

Ever since Cecilia first came into contact with the Black Abyss White Flower as a child, she has successfully gained its recognition. Later, it was confirmed by Bishop Otto Apokalis that Cecilia's compatibility with the Black Abyss White Flower was the highest in the past five hundred years, even surpassing Eleanor Shaniat, the head of the Shaniat family who lived in the same period as Bishop Otto.

Naturally, this incident immediately attracted their attention in secret.

As soon as Cecilia and Siegfried chose to make their relationship public, the people over there came to their door and clearly expressed their opposition to this relationship. If he couldn't separate the two people, they would consider using their own methods to forcibly separate them.

Kaslana is the people's shield, and Shaniyat is the people's sword. The mission of both families is to fight against Honkai. However, Shaniyat, lurking in the dark, is the most unscrupulous one at all costs.

Leopold had no doubt about the authenticity of their statements. After all, it was just Siegfried. Even the Kaslana family was not willing to admit that there was such a person. If they wanted to kill him, they would do so without any scruples. If they allowed things to continue to develop, they would have to start taking action.

Leopold actually knew very well why they did this. This was the long-cherished wish of the Shaniyat family that had been passed down since their ancestors Mavis Shaniyat and Lilith Shaniyat founded the Shaniyat family. He never expected that this matter would come to an end in his daughter's generation.

On that day, when the young Cecilia picked up the Black Abyss and White Flower, the branches growing from the ground turned into her platform, surrounding her and helping her to hold the handle of the Black Abyss and White Flower, announcing that the power of Lucifer had reappeared after thousands of years.

He had always found it hard to believe, but the fact was right before his eyes: the Shaniyat family's thousands of years of wish would finally come true in his daughter.

As a father, he certainly doesn't want to see his daughter being used as a vessel for the ancestor's resurrection, but the day of the final judgment will eventually come, and only the legendary ancestor can lead mankind through the final judgment.

No matter how unwilling he was, things were not something he could control.

Successive heads of the Shaniyat family paved the way for Dawn's return with their own blood and lives. Five hundred years ago, Dawn's last follower and the last fallen angel opened the door to the other side. Now that things have come to this point, he no longer has the final say.

"Cecilia...if you really like Siegfried, then you...should let him go." Leopold's voice became tired and hoarse. "Your relationship is not recognized by both families. I am trying to persuade you, but the Kaslana family may not agree with this."

"Why?" Cecilia was puzzled.

Leopold glanced at his daughter, turned around and left her room. Before closing the door, he said to Cecilia with his back to her: "You can't leave this house until you think it through. I've also confiscated the Black Abyss White Flower. It belongs to the Shaniyat family."

He paused, and then said, "If you are thinking of eloping with Siegfried, then the moment you leave this house, Siegfried's life cannot be guaranteed."

"Father!"

Leopold ignored his daughter and closed the door of her room. He went to the depths of the Destiny Airport alone to meet the ascetic of the Discipline, wanting to know if there was any room for things to turn around.

Inside the room, Cecilia put her hand on the doorknob of her room. She knew her father had not locked the door and she could still leave, but what her father said before leaving was serious. If she insisted on leaving, Siegfried would be in greater danger.

But...why?

Why were my father and the others so opposed to me that they even wanted to kill Siegfried?

Is it just because...of Siegfried's experience of running away from home?

My father had said before that neither the Kaslana family nor the Shanyat family supported her being with Siegfried. My father was persuading me, but Siegfried...

"No... At least, I have to know the general situation over there..." Cecilia paced back and forth in her room. She was the strongest Valkyrie in the Shaniyat family and even in the Skyrim family, but the current situation was that she was generally only responsible for carrying out missions to fight against Honkai, and she really had no way to do anything in this regard.

When they were preparing to announce their relationship with Siegfried, they thought their families might object, but they never thought that the opposition would be in this way. As soon as they returned to Tianming, they were directly arrested at the highest level, and both sides were extremely united in targeting Siegfried... as if Siegfried's relationship with them was a violation of some heavenly law.

But now my family is extremely opposed to my relationship. It is unrealistic for me to ask them about Siegfried's current situation. I can't count on Kaslana's family either...

"Oh, Theresa..." Cecilia thought of her best friend, Theresa Apokalis. She was the next head of the Apokalis family, one of the three great families of the Heavenly Destiny, and the granddaughter of the current Archbishop of the Heavenly Destiny, Otto Apokalis. Currently, only the Apokalis family has not yet expressed its position on her relationship with Siegfried. If she asks Theresa...

Cecilia found the communication device in her room. This was the device used by the Valkyries within Schicksal to communicate with each other. It was not of the same level as the devices currently circulating outside. Of course, Siegfried did not have it because he was not a Valkyrie.

"Father..." Cecilia lowered her eyes. She could feel her family's opposition to this matter. At the same time, she knew that her father could never be cruel to her. He just told her not to leave home and did not take anything away.

"Cecilia, what on earth happened between you and that Siegfried?!"

The moment the call was connected, Theresa almost couldn't wait to speak first.

“Eh?” Cecilia was stunned. “Theresa, you…”

Theresa spoke rapidly, "The three major families of Tianming are in an uproar. I heard that Siegfried was locked up as soon as he was brought home. I also heard from my grandfather that he might be exiled to South America in the end!"

exile?!

Cecilia wondered if there was something wrong with her ears. Was Siegfried going to be exiled because of his relationship with her? And was he going to be exiled to South America?

This was the second-most severe punishment within the three great families after the death penalty. In history, few people were exiled, and those who were exiled had indeed committed serious mistakes. But what did Siegfried do wrong? Just because he was in love with her? And even if he was wrong, was she not wrong? In the end, she was symbolically locked up at home while Siegfried was exiled?

"Theresa, what is going on?" Cecilia asked hurriedly.

"I don't know either. I wanted to ask you, are you okay? Uncle Leopold has always loved you very much. He would definitely not want to do anything to you." Theresa said, "But if you're talking about Siegfried... According to what I heard, it's very likely that the current head of the Kaslana family, his father, gave the order directly."

"Theresa, I..." Cecilia bit her lip and said, "Then, what did the bishop say? Even if the three major families want to exile a member of the family, they need to go through the bishop, right?"

"Alas... You're still worried about Siegfried at this time? I'm afraid something will happen to you." Theresa sighed and said, "Grandpa's attitude towards this matter is a bit vague, and I don't know what he is going to do, but according to convention, Grandpa will generally agree. He has gone to Siegfried now, and the result may come out today... Moreover, Grandpa also told me that if you don't contact me first, I can't contact you..."

Cecilia was silent. For the first time, she felt like she was against the world. But she was helpless. She couldn't abandon her responsibilities and take the Black Abyss White Flower to elope with Siegfried. She despised such behavior, but...

"Theresa... tell me, what should I do next?" Cecilia suddenly felt a little tired and at a loss. She had never seen such a big scene before.

“What should we do? I still want to know!” Theresa said unhappily, “I don’t understand either. Although you two are not a good match, you shouldn’t be arrested by the highest level armed forces as soon as you return to Tianming, right? I thought you guys had caused some disaster outside and damaged the Black Abyss White Flower…”

Cecilia lowered her head. She also wanted to know why.

“Cecilia…” Feeling Cecilia’s sadness, Theresa, who had never been in a relationship, could only slow down her tone and said, “If you really like Siegfried, if you really want him to be alright… maybe the only way is for you to come forward and draw a clear line between you and Siegfried. That way, neither of you will be in any trouble.”

"Siegfried's side..."

"Don't mention him!" Theresa said helplessly, "That guy refused to agree to break up with you, even if he was put in solitary confinement or even threatened with exile. He will never change his feelings for you... 'I can't deceive my own heart, and I can't lie to Cecilia.' That's what he said. So, if this continues, he might really be exiled."

Theresa waited for Cecilia's reply for a long time. As soon as Cecilia opened her mouth, she would immediately go to her grandfather to explain Cecilia's answer. Although they might be separated, they might not be unable to see each other again in the future. If Siegfried was exiled, they might never see each other again.

Finally, Cecilia spoke: "I'm sorry, Theresa... I... can't deceive my own heart. He loves me so much, how can I deceive him like this? I will talk to my father again. If Siegfried's punishment cannot be changed in the end, then... I will also accept the trial as a sinner."

"No, you're just torturing yourself!" Theresa was furious. Why was her best friend so clueless about this matter? Was this the so-called love-brain?

the other side.

Otto looked down at Siegfried who was imprisoned in the cell. He said calmly, "Siegfried, have you really decided?"

"Heh... Bishop, I know Cecilia is the most powerful Valkyrie and the Saint of the Shaniat family, but I have indeed fallen in love with her. This is the only thing that will not change."

"Siegfried, you..."

Siegfried's father, who was standing next to Otto, wanted to scold his son for his stubbornness, but Otto suddenly raised his hand to signal him to be quiet, and Theresa called.

"Theresa, my dear granddaughter, is there anything that makes you call grandpa at this time?" Otto said in a slow tone.

"Grandpa..." Theresa seemed a little hesitant. "Cecilia... said that if Siegfried must be punished, she should be tried as a criminal. She is not willing to deny her feelings for Siegfried..."

Otto was silent, then turned his gaze to Siegfried. After a long while, he spoke: "Siegfried, Cecilia also said that she is unwilling to compromise and is willing to accept any punishment for this."

"Cecilia..."

"You must know that the gap between your status and Cecilia's is too great." Otto said calmly, "You can also understand that this is the reason why both sides are opposed, but here, I can give you a chance."

"Your Majesty the Bishop..."

Siegfried's father wanted to say something when he saw this, but Otto stopped him with a look. He then sighed and said no more.

"I'll give you a chance." Otto said slowly, "Within a year, Destiny will provide you with the training you need, but after a year, you must reach the rating of an S-class Valkyrie. Otherwise, you will be exiled according to the current ruling."

“What if I achieve it?”

"I will personally approve your relationship. If you want, I can also decide your wedding." Otto looked down at Siegfried. "Can you do it?"

Siegfried looked up at Otto, then stood up from the ground with a firm look in his eyes: "As long as you can do what you say, then even if it is impossible, I will definitely do it!"

Siegfried's father breathed a sigh of relief. It was not easy to become an S-class Valkyrie. Until now, Cecilia was the only S-class Valkyrie in the destiny...

Interlude: Defection

Siegfried sat in his room, his eyes fixed on the Holy Fire Judge in his hand, and he was in a state of hesitation.

In the second Great Collapse six years ago, he lost his wife Cecilia Shaniate forever, but she and his daughter Kiana were still young and needed care.

Therefore, he cannot leave his destiny.

He had already realized that the clown man who severely injured the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, Walter Yang, and let the dying Second Herrscher go during the second Collapse should be the current Archbishop of Destiny, Otto Apokalis. It was because Otto wanted to kill Walter completely that he let the Second Herrscher go, and finally...

Caused the death of his wife.

He had already wanted to rebel against Sky's Will at that time, but he couldn't just leave his daughter alone. Even though he had fought side by side with Anti-Entropy in the Second Collapse, he couldn't completely trust Anti-Entropy and couldn't gamble with his daughter. What's more, the Shaniyat family had a lot of say on Sky's side. If Otto wanted to take action against Kiana, he had to consider whether he could withstand the pressure from the Shaniyat family.

However, this idea was completely changed by an unexpected discovery not long ago.

He discovered that the Bishop of Destiny had conducted some kind of experiment on Kiana during the time when Kiana was taken away by her grandfather. He was furious and went directly to find Kiana's grandfather to question him face to face.

"Why? Why did they allow them to experiment on Kiana?!" Siegfried grabbed the collar of Leopold Shanyat, the current head of the Shanyat family, Cecilia's father, and Kiana's grandfather, and shouted, "That's your granddaughter! Why did they allow them to experiment on Kiana?!"

Leopold's throat rolled a few times, then he slapped Siegfried's hand away and said coldly: "This is our Shaniat family's own business... It has nothing to do with you, so don't meddle in it."

Siegfried was speechless. He felt deeply chilled at that moment. As an outsider, he had actually heard from other family members when he was a child that the Shaniyat family would do anything to fight the Honkai and that their cold-bloodedness was the highest among the three major families. After meeting Cecilia, he had doubted this.

But now, he believes it.

"Cecilia has holy blood of such high purity. Was she like this when she was a child?" Siegfried asked weakly.

"I told you, this is not something you should know." Leopold waved his hand and tried to drive Siegfried away. "Fighting Honkai is not as easy as you think. Gaining power always comes at a price."

"Why does it have to be them..."

Leopold turned his back and did not look at Siegfried. He just said coldly: "Do you think everyone is like you, not taking their family honor and mission seriously? The mission of the Shaniyat family is to fight against Honkai, to completely expel Honkai from this world."

Siegfried looked at the old man in front of him, feeling powerless again. He could not shake the stubbornness of the Shaniyat family. Even his wife Cecilia's persistence in fighting the Honkai was beyond his imagination... The source of everything came from the family motto left by Mavis Shaniyat, the ancestor who founded the Shaniyat family, and the story of Lucifer Shaniyat, who was recreated many times around the world and was widely known.
