Honkai Impact, starting by entering Kallen's body

He doesn't need to care about any rules or be subject to any constraints; he acts entirely on his own selfish desires, regardless of whether they are elegant or vulgar.

That period of time belonged to him.

"Look, Sakura, I think you know the answer to the question."

"First of all, I have no obligation to help the village. I help without caring about anyone's opinion or asking for anything in return. I help simply because I want to. If I don't help, I won't care about anyone's opinion, and there shouldn't be any condemnation."

"Does helping someone out of kindness mean I have to go all the way? By what right? What do I expect to get in return?"

"Save? Who am I supposed to save? A bunch of greedy idiots? They have no moral bottom line and send innocent people to the execution platform. Do they have any reason to be saved?"

"As for why I went to such great lengths to help the children escape during the sacrifice, I felt they shouldn't have died there. I just wanted to help them escape from hell. The rain showed no mercy to the villagers and gave the children a chance to live."

Su Xin paused, sighed, and continued, "What can we do? The rituals may stop, but what do you think they'll be like again after I leave? It'll just be a matter of restarting the rituals, a temporary fix, not a permanent solution. And I don't want to address the root cause."

"Only after you have the ability to change will you realize how difficult it truly is. Sometimes we can't even save one person, let alone everyone. Besides, not the whole world revolves around them. I have a mission to fulfill; I must go."

"Well"

Su Xin felt a sharp pain in her head. She put her hand to her forehead, as if her consciousness was being pushed.

"Go save? Who?" Su Xin was stunned, shook her head. Mei had assigned her the task of saving the world. She guessed that she had been living too comfortably lately, and Shenyin had made her be alert again.

After regaining consciousness, Su Xin looked up and focused her gaze on Yae Sakura, but Yae Sakura did not suddenly realize what Su Xin had expected. Instead, she stared at Su Xin with a gloomy expression.

"Hey Sakura, did you even listen to what I said just now?" For some reason, Su Xin had a feeling that Yae Sakura was about to eat him.

"Leave? Xin wants to leave?"

"Looks like he didn't listen at all," Su Xin thought with a headache, feeling like they weren't even on the same wavelength.

Is Yae Sakura really that dark and cruel? She was just a naive, reserved, shy, and well-behaved girl a moment ago.

It seems that Yae Sakura was not fully mastered.

Before Su Xin could react, Yae Sakura took the initiative to sit on her, burying Su Xin in the soft, fragrant cherry blossoms.

Warm, but suffocating.

"Okay, okay, I can't breathe."

""

Yae Sakura didn't answer, but tried to keep her body close to Su Xin's, a feeling that made her feel safe and happy.

The feeling of being embraced, and the feeling of holding a loved one, are either enough to make Yae Sakura infatuated.

Sacrifice, children, villagers

She didn't care; all she cared about was having Su Xin.

Two people can be comfortable together.

Meanwhile, Karen arrived at the cliff edge, looking dejected.

He slowly crouched down, looking up at the bottomless cliff, a mocking thought creeping into his mind.

"If I had made a different choice back then, would things have turned out differently and I could have saved the world?"

Karen looked up at the azure sky. She vaguely remembered that the sky was dark that day, with thick clouds and torrential rain.

Completely different from now, there might be some whispers in my ears.

If you call out, there will be an echo; if you turn around, you will see.

But no one can predict the outcome of a choice. The so-called "no regrets" choice does not mean that there is no regret about the choice, nor that one cannot regret the choice.

Regardless of what you believe, what you trust in others, or what choices you make, the final result may not be what you expect.

Instead of regretting, live with your head held high; that's what a living person should do.

It is also the only thing that can give meaning to the death of the deceased.

The living give meaning to the dead, and the living give meaning to the deaths of those who came before them; this is the ancient tradition of humankind.

Karen doesn't know who will inherit her will in the future, but she can take responsibility for Su Xin.

“I advise you to behave yourself. If you try to invade my consciousness again, I won’t hesitate to make you completely unable to resist,” Karen threatened, holding the restless black box in her hand.

The Herrscher of Corruption mustered her courage and sneered: "You, who are you trying to scare? You naive and kind little girl, you..."

Before she finished speaking, Kallen directly used a simplified version of the Void Sword God on the soul of the Herrscher of Corruption. It wasn't powerful enough, but it was obviously effective against the Herrscher of Corruption who was sealed and had nowhere to use her strength.

The Void Sword God did not launch a physical attack, so it was easy to hit even when the target was in a virtual state, which further confirmed Kallen's belief that the Crimson Kite Immortal had a solution.

After dealing with the Law of Corruption, I obtained the Crimson Iris Immortal.

“Mercy? Sorry, you’re not on my list of the merciful. I’m so naive, naively thinking that death can save more people, forgetting that some people want to live.”

"Don't keep challenging my bottom line, Herald of Corruption."

Karen made a harsh statement, then turned and continued running towards Mount Taixu in Shenzhou.

The Herrscher of Corruption is in a bad mood. Damn it, in Otto's memory, wasn't the blue-eyed Kallen a childish, hot-blooded idiot? She's so ruthless, using such powerful attacks!

Chapter 72 A Vague Dream

"Xin, what is the meaning of 'returning to one's roots' for you?"

"Fallen leaves return to their roots? Who knows what that means? It's a natural phenomenon, and it has its own meaning from the moment it's born."

"What about that person?"

"Human beings are born without meaning; we assign meaning to our actions. Although it is a contradiction, it is true. Even death, which silences us, must have its own meaning."

"But what if you're dead? Lost forever in the darkness of unconsciousness. Unable to think, unable to remember, unable to open your eyes, unable to speak to anyone important—does that even have any meaning?"

Today, in the dead of winter, Tianqiong Peak was not covered in snow as usual. Instead, the sky was bright and clear, and even the clouds looked as vibrant and bright as if they had been splashed with colorful ink.

Another wave of demonic beasts attacked, but the Crimson Iris Immortal annihilated them with swift and decisive methods, earning widespread fame and the people of the land all bowing down in worship.

At this moment, the revered Immortal Crimson Kite sat alone atop the Sky Peak, gazing at the leisurely white clouds and talking to himself.

"Death has no meaning for the dead. The dead die only to convey meaning to the living. It is unique and cannot be repeated a second time, so it is naturally of extraordinary significance."

"Isn't it reasonable for soldiers to die protecting their homeland, leaving their lives and hopes to future generations?"

The answer left Chi Yuan stunned for a long time. As the sun set, the golden rays of the setting sun shone on her beautiful face, as if draping it with a thin veil.

"Leaves know autumn is coming and trees are thawing; flowers see frost and snow. Every outcome has a cause and guide, and then evolves from a single meaning into more meanings."

"Okay, don't overthink it. Sitting here all day is so boring. Let's go back and cook. I'm starving." Chi Yuan stood up casually, stretched, a stark contrast to her previous indifferent demeanor.

Just as Su Xin was manipulating Chi Yuan's body to go back and cook a big meal, her hand grabbed his.

Because he had been possessed for less than ten years, Su Xin did not have primary control over his body, and Chi Yuan simply blocked his path.

Su Xin's mind was working, but her body wouldn't obey her commands.

Just as Su Xin was speaking, Chi Yuan said: "—Guarding the Divine Land for thousands of years has come at a price: every hundred years, we must forget everything that happened before."

"But a long time ago I made a decision. I, not her, not the former Wenhua, I have ideas and ideals, but I still can't control myself from fulfilling the promise I made back then."

Su Xin was stunned, paused for a long time, and said helplessly, "Perhaps, it's a mission."

"That mission is crucial!!" Chi Yuan shouted excitedly, and Su Xin could feel the anger in her mind.

Under normal circumstances, Dr. Mei should not have allowed Chi Yuan to maintain a closed-off state of mind in order to prevent her from breaking down during her long and lonely years.

because

A person who always keeps their heart open to the outside world cannot endure the countless losses and separations over the endless years.

If one could travel to the future, it would require the deaths of countless cherished people to reach that point.

When experiences overlap with memories, people lose their willpower and motivation, leading them to abandon all their aspirations.

Su Xin remembered that she would glance at Mei's words carefully at times. Although it was only a glance, she looked at them for a long time. She forgot the exact time, but she had a vague impression of how long it had lasted.

"I know you're not beautiful, Chi Yuan." Su Xin didn't know either, and comforted her by agreeing with her words.

At least Su Xin felt that a normal person is one who can scream, complain, and get angry. A heartless, desireless, and aloof immortal would hardly define her as human, since no human being is not dominated by desires.

"Coco," Chi Yuan stood rooted to the spot for a long time, "Why am I doing what I'm supposed to do? I clearly don't want to, I clearly want to do things, to travel the world, to experience the mundane world, to be immersed in human life."

Su Xin interjected: "Didn't you go traveling around the world not long ago?"

"There was nothing wrong at the beginning, but for some reason, it inexplicably went off to slay demons and investigate the Honkai."

"Experience the mundane world, get involved in the everyday life. It's simple. Just hand over your body to me and watch me." Su Xin smiled maliciously.

Chi Yuan snorted coldly, seemingly with a hint of coquettishness: "I'm not going to let you ruin my reputation again! Don't even think about it! Or do you want to starve for another year?"

"No, I'm hungry, aren't you hungry too?"

"I can endure it, even if it means going hungry for a year."

“You’re ruthless!” Su Xin answered from the bottom of his heart. He was truly terrified of hunger. A whole year!

Instead, imagine someone losing their dignity after three days without food, and becoming utterly dejected.

A year of hunger is something few people can endure.

Although she spoke incredibly cowardly, Su Xin observed that Chi Yuan seemed to be in a much better mood, the gloom on her face gradually cleared, and even the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

The divine voice restrained Chi Yuan's behavior, gradually turning her into a machine that only knew how to fulfill her mission, and from the very beginning, the living, thinking Chi Yuan became numb little by little.

That's right. After each forgetting, a new Chi Yuan awakens. Essentially, they are ordinary people with the memories of their mission, but their emotions are gradually distorted, their ideals and dreams are blurred, and they are reduced to tools that only know how to carry out their mission.

The process looked like he was committing murder.

Look at Chi Yuan now, smiling gently, her smile is quite feminine. Her ex-girlfriend, Boss Hua, has a serious face, no smiles, no fun, she's more suitable as a comrade-in-arms or a brother.

Just as Su Xin's thoughts began to wander, Chi Yuan questioned, "Aren't you thinking about some naughty things?"

"No, you're overthinking it. Go back and cook."

Su Xin smiled, and Chi Yuan stopped pursuing those headache-inducing questions.

Instead of getting stressed out by those vague and unrealistic problems and having a bad mood all day, why not enjoy the present moment with Su Xin, eating and sleeping together, and experiencing that strangely named activity where you catch two crickets on Mount Taixu and then put them in a transparent box to fight each other?

It's clearly the same person talking, yet different crickets are chirping and cheering. If there were onlookers, they'd probably be furious and call him seriously ill.

Even such a simple and ordinary life was the most colorful chapter in Chi Yuan's entire life.

Even after a hundred years, it doesn't seem so boring.

Nearly a century ago, Mount Taixu—

Snowflakes fluttered down, and a blanket of silver frost covered the mountains and fields, almost painting the entire world in color.

Two sets of footprints were left on the mountain path, but they were soon filled in by newly fallen snowflakes, as if they had never been there.

Zheng Chiyuan's life, her life, and the footprints in the snow existed for a moment before being covered up and vanished without a trace.

Like a phantom, like a bubble, like a fleeting dream, no matter how much regret one feels, it can never be realized.

She thought that spending a hundred years with Su Xin would be enough and she would feel satisfied.

But she ultimately underestimated desire; the closer she got to the end, the less satisfied she became, and the more she craved more.

Reality is cruel, and it never changes or changes according to human will.

Today, she will die forever and never exist in the world again. All meaning for Chi Yuan will vanish.

She once asked Su Xin, "What is the meaning of 'fallen leaves returning to their roots'?"

Death is something I can't even imagine, something I can't even imagine; everything returns to nothingness, and there is no longer any meaning.

The grave is silent, burying the dead, all the words they could not utter in life.

The vibrant life made Chi Yuan even more reluctant to leave.

I don't want to die, I want to live, I want to live.

But so what?

She cannot escape the destiny that governs her; like millions of others, she too will die, disappear, and even be forgotten.

Chi Yuan was terrified. She ran without her shoes on, stumbling and falling, her feet bleeding and mangled, but healing in a very short time. Only a cold sensation spread from her feet to her whole body.

Memories fade away like smoke in the wind.

The fear and trembling of the soul is thousands or even tens of thousands of times greater than the shivering of the body.

I don't want to forget, nor do I want to be forgotten; I don't want to die, I want to live.

Pao Pao, Chi Yuan arrived at the summit of Tianqiong Peak, her pale lips trembling as crimson blood spilled out, dripping onto the snow beneath her feet, adding a strange and poignant beauty to the sky and earth.
