Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

"First, you must understand who I am," he said in a deep voice. "Although I appear before you in this form, I am not actually that person. Your body is this way because your body, your flesh and blood, originate here."

It can’t be said that this news is not explosive, it can only be said that it is indeed like a bolt from the blue. Yulandel was stunned after hearing it.

After the thunder exploded, only one thought remained in her mind: Is the source of my flesh and blood Kevin from the previous civilization?

So I'm actually from a pre-civilized world? Kevin is my...father? But why isn't my hair white? And Kevin's partner doesn't seem to have blonde hair either?

Yulandel was completely bewildered. The train of thought she had just sorted out from Otto at the gate was suddenly twisted into a tangled mess. She had always believed herself to be an orphan, but was she actually from a previous civilization?

No wonder I lost my previous memories. Was this the reason? No wonder Otto said he covered his mouth and buried a crucial secret.

If that was the case, then everything was connected! After sorting out the clues again, Youlan Daier suddenly realized that she had found the answer.

"I see. You are..."

"I'm not."

Before Youlandel could finish, Kevin sighed again and interrupted her.

"The term 'blood and flesh' is not as simple as you might think. You are different from others. Your blood flows with the interference of another's will. This interference is called a stigmata, and it comes from the owner of this image."

It turns out that we are not blood relatives, which is not bad.

Even though her suspicions were denied by Kevin, Yulandel felt a sense of relief. After all, if Kevin was indeed her blood relative, then...

How can I describe that feeling? It felt strange, like a new, unrelated, and insignificant elder had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Besides, after all these years, Youlandel didn't really yearn for a family. She felt her life was pretty good now. Apart from the recent discovery of inner struggles, on the surface, it was smooth sailing.

"Now you understand who I am. Then, I will tell you who you are."

Kevin raised his right hand and pointed at Yulandel.

"Youlandel."

His voice sounded like he was making an unquestionable statement, but his words were questions.

"Why do you see the young Kiana Kaslana here?"

"Why do you have the stigmata from Kevin Kaslana in your body?"

"Why were you chosen by Otto and personally trained to become the Destined Valkyrie?"

"There's only one answer. Because you are—"

This 'Kevin' clearly had a calm expression on his face, but he still spoke in a fluctuating tone, which made Youlandel a little uneasy. She didn't have time to digest the three questions he asked in succession before she heard the answer.

"Really, Kiana Kaslana!"

"Eh?"

For a moment, Yulandel felt that she had been fooled.

"I'm the real Kiana Kaslana?" She looked at Kevin with a "Are you kidding me?" expression.

On second thought, she realized that this explanation did seem to be correct. Especially since Youlan Daier had just gone through Kevin's consanguinity theory, even if someone told her that she was Otto's illegitimate daughter, she wouldn't be unable to accept it.

It would be more reasonable to say that she is actually the real Kiana Kaslana.

"That's why I'm here in this pose."

Kevin nodded and crossed his arms over his chest.

"The body is the foundation upon which we construct our self. The most important parts of the human body are our genes, our bloodline, and our genetic factors. They form the initial framework of our personality, supporting us in forming a solid self through all kinds of experiences."

He changed his tone to a calm one and spoke to Yulandel.

“Once you have built a solid self under protection, it’s time to break free from these frameworks.”

These were Kevin's last words. As his voice fell, his body, like Otto's, instantly disintegrated into a handful of red sand, scattering across the desolate land.

Wang Xuanqiao, who was chatting and laughing with Mei Raiden and Bronya while preparing barbecue ingredients, suddenly heard the system speaking in his mind.

However, the reason the system had finally spoken to him was somewhat subtle. It actually said that the member's current game urgently needed his data support, and hoped that Wang Xuanqiao could quickly enter the game to provide support.

No? What kind of game needs my data to support it? Could it be that Bianca has already reached heaven?

Although Wang Xuanqiao complained in his heart, he immediately told the situation to Raiden Mei and the others, then washed his hands and went downstairs quickly.

He wanted to see what was going on in the game.

------

Yulandel stood there, thinking about countermeasures. She had already passed the two levels of speech and body, but the two levels of eyes and ears showed no sign of recovery. So she wondered if she had encountered some kind of game bug, causing her to be stuck at a critical stage.

She originally thought that the next level might be the Heart Level, but after waiting for a while, it didn't come, so she wondered if it was because she didn't get the [Boundless Heart] first.

Should I quit the game first? But Youlandel was a little unsure whether she should quit or not, so she had to stay where she was and think of a solution.

As she thought about it, she came to the point of closing her heart.

Since the people who manifest in the oral and physical gates are indeed deeply related to oneself and the concepts of mouth and body, then who should be the person who manifests in the heart gate?

Several candidates quickly emerged in Yulandel's mind. It could be Rita, or Otto, or someone related to the identity of Kiana Kaslana, such as Siegfried or Cecilia...

However, the fact that she was the real Kiana still made Yulandel feel unreal.

Although the information she received in the oral and physical gates was enough for her to rationally determine that this was the truth, perhaps because she had no such memories, she did not react emotionally at all.

Speaking of which, Mr. Siegfried... No, maybe we can't call him Mr. now. He seemed to have been looking for Kiana in the Schicksal headquarters... looking for my whereabouts?

Yulandel briefly imagined the scene of herself going back to recognize him, but she couldn't help but frowned.

Even if she was really Kiana, the relationship was still unreal. She wasn't sure if she could return to Siegfried and reunite with him, if she could then reciprocate his father's longing for his beloved daughter.

Yulandel still felt like a stranger in this relationship and had no sense of involvement at all.

Oh, maybe I should talk to the store manager about this? She instinctively thought of Wang Xuanqiao, who had just counseled her not long ago.

Who would have thought that the next moment after this longing arose, the person she was thinking of would appear towards her in the red sand desert.

"Store, store manager?!"

Yulandel's eyes widened, and she even wondered if she was hallucinating. But she quickly realized from her surprise that it was most likely not an illusion, but the psychological barrier she was about to face.

So the person that my heart manifested is the store manager?

Youlan Daier was indeed somewhat surprised by this development, but not by much. Because she had already realized Wang Xuanqiao's existence and significance to herself, her presence in her heart was not entirely surprising.

If that's the case...do I have to fight this materialized store manager?

Yulandel remembered what Otto had said: she didn't need to earn what she had already obtained. But right now, [Boundless Heart] wasn't in her hands like [Boundless Mouth] and [Bodyless Body]; it was in an unattainable state.

"It seems you've realized what to do."

Wang Xuanqiao, who suddenly appeared in the red sand desert, nodded to Youlan Dai'er, who subconsciously prepared for battle.

"Then come on."

Volume 219: : I Know You Are Not the Real Store Manager

The heart is the spirit. It is the spirit of man, the will of destiny, which enables him to understand all principles and respond to all events.

After passing the barrier represented by Kevin, Yulandel felt a certain restraint within her body being released. Two strange yet familiar forces were flowing endlessly within her body, like blood.

She understood that it was a gift from her blood. The blood of Kaslana from her father, and... the blood of Shaniat from her mother.

Although Yulandel still has no real sense of Siegfried, Cecilia, and the fact that she is Kiana, this does not affect her respect for Siegfried and Cecilia, because in addition to being her parents, they are also two heroes.

Yulandel understood that the purpose of this battle in Xinguan was to completely integrate these two powers that came from her blood.

Just like Kevin said in the "Physical" section - they are a form of protection for one's personality, but they are also a constraint on one's development. Therefore, one must completely master them to prove that one has the ability to overcome the mental barrier.

"Although I know you're not the real store manager," Youlandel said, resolutely assuming a fighting stance towards Wang Xuanqiao. "But please don't hold back. I'll do my best."

Wang Xuanqiao didn't answer, but nodded slightly. But in his heart, he was thinking: Is Bianca treating me as a substitute?

In fact, the Wang Xuanqiao standing in front of Youlandel at this moment was really him, who had just been invited here by the system.

Wang Xuanqiao had initially assumed that Bianca's attack on Heaven had drawn out some superpowered enemy, perhaps a powerful being like Tathagata, and that he needed to come over to help. Unexpectedly, upon arriving, he discovered he was serving as an examiner, and that listening to the system introduction was actually a bit of a hassle.

For example, this battle is just a superficial appearance. Its core is to allow Yulandel, who is undergoing the test, to fully understand the meaning of the heart, so that she can enlighten her mind and ascend to godhood.

Wang Xuanqiao actually felt that asking a girl raised in a Western culture to comprehend the mysteries of the Dao was somewhat unreasonable. If he hadn't lent Bianca "Journey to the West" ahead of time to give her a foundation, the headache would have been even greater.

But Bianca's misunderstanding was fine. It wasn't important anyway; passing the assessment was all that mattered. Wang Xuanqiao thought for a moment and decided not to correct the misunderstanding just yet.

While he was thinking, Yulandel had already begun to mobilize the new power in her body.

The Kaslana bloodline, originating from Kevin, is actually a biological organ derived from the Honkai Beast, capable of bringing an extremely violent and insane power to the Kaslana family. The Kaslana stigmata are also engraved with a kind of interference that will force every Kaslana to make the same choice.

When Yulandel used this power for the first time, her mind was instantly occupied by a single thought.

Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill—

Destruction, destruction, destruction, destruction, destruction, destruction, destruction—

Eliminate the collapse, eliminate the collapse, eliminate the collapse, eliminate the collapse, eliminate the collapse—

It was the pain of having one's own consciousness squeezed into a corner. Yulandel cried out in agony, unable to contain herself. A pitch-black gust of wind erupted from her body, instantly sweeping away even the fluorescent lights lingering behind her.

Yulandel suddenly stood up straight, and a beast-like scarlet light shone in the depths of her originally blue eyes.

But the power of Shaniat also began to emerge. This ultimate weapon against Honkai created by Otto immediately began to suppress Kaslana's power.

However, this not only failed to reduce Yulandel's pain, but actually greatly increased it. This was because the two powers of Kaslana and Shaniat were inherently conflicting, and it was for this reason that the newborn Kiana failed to live up to the high expectations.

Seeing this, Wang Xuanqiao narrowed his eyes slightly, silently simulated the breath of Honkai energy, and released it towards Yulandel who was being tortured by two conflicting forces.

As expected, the Kaslana bloodline's instinct to hunt Honkai was fully activated, and the Shaniyat bloodline also began to turn its guns because it had a clear enemy.

It's unknown how much self-awareness Yulandel still has, but she is like a hunting tiger. Her sudden attack is as fast as lightning, flashing across the sky and suddenly pouncing on the "Honkai Enemy" in front of her.

Wang Xuanqiao was not in a hurry. He took a small step back to avoid Youlandel's attack, and then moved closer to prevent her from continuing the next attack.

As a result, there was a huge gap in the connection between Youlandel's fighting moves. Wang Xuanqiao immediately seized this opportunity and directly swept her to the ground with a kick.

The soft red sand invisibly absorbed most of the impact, and Youlan Daier instinctively rolled to the side, trying to gain distance. But Wang Xuanqiao, who had fought countless hand-to-hand combat battles, could see through her intentions and had already caught up with Youlan Daier.

He subconsciously raised his foot to step Yulandel back to the ground, but he immediately restrained his previous habit and instead used his elbow to hit her on the back, suppressing her again.

This elbow immediately stopped Youlandel from trying to get up. She quickly adjusted her strategy, using her hands to support herself on the sand and attempting a spinning kick to force Wang Xuanqiao back.

However, Wang Xuanqiao had seen this method many times before. He didn't even bother to jump from the spot, and directly raised his knee to kick back and block the attack, which in turn destroyed Youlan Daier's newly recovered balance.

This kind of battle based purely on instinct is obviously only effective against those weaker than oneself. Just like Yulandel, who is now affected by two conflicting forces, if she loses the control of her own will, she has no chance of winning in this battle.

Wang Xuanqiao sighed, it seemed that he had to take some ruthless measures.

He no longer just passively counterattacked, but walked straight towards Yulandel who was trying to turn over, and took advantage of the moment when she lost balance to punch her in the abdomen!

Although this punch did not exert much force, it still made Yulandel's breathing stop, and she could not even control the saliva in her mouth, which flowed out.

Wang Xuanqiao, of course, didn't give her time to recover. He immediately followed up with a short hook kick, throwing her to the sand again. Then, he kicked Youlan Daier in the side, flipping her from back to front, raising his fist high...

"If you don't have any other tricks, let's end it now." He looked down at Yulandel at his feet and said in a flat tone.

As soon as the words fell, it was as if a merciless iron fist smashed down towards Yulandel's head!

The revolving lantern—it's said to be a vision seen by those nearing death. While countless people describe the revolving lantern in different forms, they all share a commonality. The dimensions of time suddenly widen before their eyes, and everything begins to slow down.

In this world where time seems to have slowed down, the power of Kaslana and Shaniat finally begins to change. They are like two people who were originally at odds with each other, but are forced to work together after the emergence of a formidable enemy that is a matter of life and death.

Shaniyat's power no longer constrained Kaslana's, and Kaslana's power also ceased interfering with the host's will. These two supposedly incompatible forces, seeking common ground, unexpectedly began to reconcile!

With her willpower restored, Yulandel quickly seized this opportunity, attempting to completely control both powers...

In the blink of an eye, Yulandel, who was trying to grasp the power of Kaslana and Shaniat, seemed to see two completely different colors, black and white.

Having read Journey to the West earlier and having some knowledge of Eastern Shintoism, she instantly thought of an incarnation - Yin and Yang.

Yin and Yang are like the two sides of a thing, one yin and one yang, opposing each other in a delicate balance, as if they have always been like this. However, the theory of Yin and Yang is more than just opposition; at its end, there is another completely new form.

That is the Tai Chi, which is the interaction and endless flow of Yin and Yang.
