Collapse, I save everything alone

Page 226

Mingyu just shook his head slightly at the girl's guess.

"Xi'er is very smart, but she guessed wrong. She should have said that the Red Kite Immortal is the class monitor."

He revealed the secret with a smile.

Xier's guess is quite reasonable, but unfortunately, reality is often not so reasonable.

Well, it is indeed difficult for ordinary people to connect the immortals who lived hundreds of years ago with their "peers" who are around them.

"Eh?"

Xier was confused.

Hei Xi on the side interrupted:

"You mean, Fu Hua is an old man who has lived for hundreds of years?"

"I'm afraid it will take longer than this."

Mingyu shook his head again.

He did not directly point out Fu Hua's identity, but asked:

"Xi'er, you should still remember the attacker we encountered in the World Bubble, right?"

"...Yes, of course I remember."

Xier nodded.

The attacker wanted to attack Xilin right away.

"He belongs to the same organization as the squad leader. They both come from... a previous civilization that has been destroyed. After tens of thousands of years of slumber, they reawakened in our time."

Mingyu said slowly.

——Tianming has been excavating various ancient relics, so the fact that there was another era before this era is something that even ordinary Valkyries know.

only……

"..."

Xier was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

The impact of this incident is quite huge.

Well, it's probably the feeling of telling Chinese people that all kinds of gods are your neighbors, and telling Western people that the gods in mythology are your classmates.

- A sense of absurdity and unreality that people who only exist in storybooks are actually living next to you.

"But the monitor's body is clearly..."

It took Xier a while to come back to her senses and asked in a low voice.

Her body was too healthy to have any problems, and there was no sign of aging at all.

If she had lived for hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of years...she would probably look like an old lady, right?

Mingyu smiled and explained:

"In fact, Herrscher like you, Xi'er, has already transformed to a higher level, and his life span has been greatly extended... The class leader is in a similar situation. Well, to be specific, it's almost the same as Theresa."

Be it Herrscher or Fusion Warrior, they can no longer be defined as "human", but rather as life forms at a higher level.

Fu Hua, who had fused the [Garuda] gene, also gained an almost indestructible body and a long lifespan.

Although it was still hard to believe, Xier had no choice but to accept this fact.

"So, this is where Fu Hua was active as the Red Kite Immortal?"

Hei Xi asked.

"Well, that's exactly it."

Mingyu nodded, looked up at the mountain above the clouds, and said:

"If you go up, you will meet the Red Kite Immortal."

His purpose, of course, is to find the [Red Kite Immortal].

Or--

[The Law of Knowledge].

Chapter 242: Seven Disciples Killed Their Master

Mingyu and the two Xiers walked through the signboard and stepped onto the stone steps of Taixu Mountain.

These steps are paved with irregular boulders, and the surface is covered with traces of time. Some are as smooth as jade, while others are covered with moss and mottled moss.

Stepping on it, you can feel the weight of history.

The scenery here is quite nice. The scene is constructed from the memory of five hundred years ago and retains the flavor of that time.

On both sides of the stone steps, ancient trees are towering and lush. The leaves sway gently in the breeze, making rustling sounds, as if accompanying the ancient stone steps.

Xier was obviously in a very good mood. She held his arm with one hand and Hei Xi with the other, and walked slowly up the stairs with the two of them.

The mountain climbing journey is long, and it will take at least several hours to walk up it on foot.

Xier shook his arm gently and asked softly:

"Brother Mingyu, can you tell Xier more about the story about the Red Kite Immortal?"

She was the type who really liked listening to stories. Even now that she lived in St. Freya's Academy, she would fall asleep reading a storybook every night.

After learning the fact that "Sister Fu Hua = Red Kite Immortal", she became quite curious about the legend about the Red Kite Immortal.

Mingyu nodded and began to narrate:

"Class monitor... uh, let's call her the Red Kite Immortal. She once protected Shenzhou for thousands of years."

Each pioneer was assigned his own responsibilities before departure, such as Su's [Hengsha Plan].

What Fu Hua carried out at the beginning of this era was the [Spark Plan].

She came to Shenzhou, educated the people here, imparted them knowledge from the previous era, and helped them develop rapidly.

This has indeed helped this generation of humans to develop rapidly, but it has also caused corresponding side effects.

Overly advanced knowledge also led to the premature arrival of the Collapse. The emperor-level Collapse beast Chiyou appeared in Shenzhou, leading to the deaths of Cangxuan and Danzhu.

In order to prevent the collapse from accelerating further, Fu Hua stopped teaching people knowledge beyond that era, and the [Spark Project] was declared a failure.

"Thousands of years... is a very long time."

Xier murmured.

For her, who is only in her teens, it is impossible to imagine what it feels like to have experienced a thousand years.

"Well, it was indeed quite long, and during this long period of time, she was not completely alone in protecting Shenzhou. At the beginning, it was Fuxi (Cangxuan) and Nuwa (Danzhu), and then there was the Book of Cangxuan. Later... in order to increase the power to fight against the collapse, the immortal came down the mountain and began to travel around Shenzhou, looking for qualified boys and girls to take as apprentices. In the end, he found seven children and established the famous [Taixu Sword School]."

Mingyu groaned.

During the years when the immortals were stationed in China, despite the changes of dynasties, the collapse has never been able to destroy the civilization on this land.

As his old friends left one by one, and even the energy of the armed puppet Cang Xuan Book was exhausted, Chi Yuan, who was finally left alone, changed his behavior of thousands of years, began to go down the mountain to recruit disciples, and contact this generation of humans again.

This is a positive change, but it does not bring a happy ending.

"Disciple...ah, Sister Li Sushang seemed to have said before that Sister Fu Hua was her master."

Xier thought about it.

Although the outgoing girl from Shenzhou lacked some common sense in life, she was quite popular among everyone. Theresa once invited her to join St. Freya Academy, but she declined the invitation because she loved freedom by nature.

He did not join Destiny, nor did he join Anti-Entropy, but instead traveled through time as a lone ranger.

Apart from returning to Saint Freya regularly to visit the sleeping Fu Hua, the swordsman girl seemed to spend the rest of her time traveling around the world, doing justice and slaying demons.

"Yes, she is the daughter of one of the Seven Disciples of Taixu."

Mingyu nodded.

——The seventh disciple of Chi Yuan, and the only daughter of Qin Suyi, the [Ran Xiang Sword].

"Eh, so that's how it is..."

Xier nodded thoughtfully.

In the innocent girl's mind, she has probably imagined the scene of the powerful Red Kite Immortal leading his seven disciples to eliminate the Honkai beasts everywhere.

Well, that might be true for the first few years, but... the relationship between the Seven Disciples of Taixu and the Red Kite Immortal is not as harmonious as it seems.

After all, except for the seventh disciple Qin Suyi, the parents of the remaining six people had once "gone astray" and almost become dead soldiers, and were killed on the spot by the Chiyuan Immortal.

In other words, the first six of Taixu's seven disciples all had a blood feud with the Chiyuan Immortal for killing their father and mother.

But for some unknown reason, Immortal Chiyuan chose to take these orphans, whom she had personally trained, as her disciples and taught them the Taixu Sword Qi.

Maybe, I was simply attracted by their qualifications.

"Then...what happened between the Seven Disciples of Taixu and the Red Kite Immortal later?"

Xier continued to ask.

"What happened later? Later... these seven disciples joined hands and planned to kill the Red Kite Immortal."

Mingyu said casually.

Not long after the Seven Disciples of Taixu murdered Fu Hua, Kallen brought the black box to Shenzhou to seek the help of the immortal, hoping to get rid of the sealed darkness with her assistance.

However, when Kallen arrived at Taixu Mountain, she only saw the ruins of Taixu Mountain burned by fire, and failed to find the figure of the immortal.

With destiny's pursuers following behind her, she had no choice but to flee to the Far East, where she met Yaezakura, and that's when what happened later happened.

In a sense, the incident of the seven disciples killing their master did indeed change the course of history and greatly affected the future.

"……Eh?"

Xier was confused again.

In her eyes, the master-disciple relationship should be a fairly harmonious one. Why did they end up turning against each other and fighting?

And...if the Red Yuan Immortal has been killed, then who is Sister Fu Hua who usually lives with them in the academy?

"To be precise, he almost killed the Red Kite Immortal, but... Xier, you should have also come into contact with the squad leader's body. Her body is very special."

Mingyu explained carefully.

"Yes, that's true..."

Xier nodded.

Sister Fu Hua's body is so strong that it can be said to be astonishingly strong, even stronger than the bodies of her Herrschers.

"The body of the Red Kite Immortal is almost immortal. Even if he suffers a fatal injury, he will slowly recover with just time."

Mingyu continued.

Xier seemed to understand something and whispered:

"So... Sister Fu Hua was resurrected like this?"

"Well, that's exactly it."

Of course, what happens after the resurrection is another story.

At this moment in Taixu Mountain, it was probably the time when the Red Kite Immortal had not yet been assassinated.

In other words, it was when he was about to be assassinated by the Seven Disciples.
