Collapse, a simulator of lifelong regret!

The strengthening of Honkai is indeed something to be feared, but for an individual who has become a Herrscher, can this alone really bring sadness?

If not, what is Jiang Cheng worried about?

……

It's eye-catching, don't click it. .jpg

It's really bold. .jpg

Chapter of Stars and Moon: 137. Isn't this already great?

[At the age of thirty-five, you and Jiang Cheng spent a year retracing the journey you had taken before, from beginning to end, without missing a single detail, and trying to restore the posture you had seen in the past as closely as possible.]

[Even the mountains that were flattened in the Great Collapse, the lakes that were filled up by the movement of the earth's crust due to the energy, and the grasslands that were burned by the flames that burned the entire continent the moment the eighth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Flame, was born, they were barely recreated in some way from the past by relying on the appearance in memory.]

[The lost mountains will be pulled out by gravity to create new mountains, and the lakes will be dug out again, looking for places on Earth where there is still water. ]

[It is difficult to reproduce the grassland and flowers in a short time, but if you just dye them with green colors, you can rely on a little trickery. 】

[You can't do more. Don't say that the replica is 70% or 80% similar. As long as it is 30% or 40% similar, it is acceptable. If it is 50%, you can pick up the camera and record today. ]

[This continent has the largest population, which is overwhelming on Earth, so it is natural that it also produces the most Honkai Impact 3rd.]

[This is the greatest destruction caused by the birth of civilization. It will develop with the development of technology. Naturally, the most advanced places will suffer the most serious disasters.]

[Although the minimum requirement for carrying a population also has strict standards for the environment, the huge size means that the disaster may not be able to easily penetrate the entire continent. The places you have set foot on are not very conspicuous. At least in the world, removing the filter factor is not that rare. ]

【In theory, it shouldn't suffer this level of damage. 】

【It is normal to keep a little bit. 】

[Australia, which is relatively remote, has even preserved Mungo National Park, where the folded rock formations and moving sand dunes are almost intact. At sunset, the white sand dunes still turn orange.]

[Like an inverted wine glass, Jiuquan Bay in Freycinet National Park in Tasmania can see the world's last blue water and white sand beach, which is not much damaged under the protection of New World snakes. 】

[Whether it is the Giant Valley, which has the only ancient red Tingger Forest in the world, or Ayers Rock, which is known as the heart of the world, at least part of it was able to survive the attack of the collapse, leaving behind some beauty. ]

[Only the Twelve Apostles Stone on the Great Ocean Road, because it stood on the coast, ended its life at more than 20 million years in the first wave of the fifth collapse. The Herrscher of Ice was swept by the tsunami of cold air and cold waves and turned into a pile of rubble in an instant. ]

[The rock pillars formed by erosion by waves and strong winds will eventually be destroyed by a more violent disaster that may not be natural. The broken washing machine only brought forward this ending that may last for tens of millions of years.]

[The damage that the collapse can cause to the world is indeed horrific, not even limited to the biosphere, but can cause huge damage to the planet itself. ]

[But this does not mean that the Fire Moth, which is said to have once possessed three astonishing geniuses, cannot retain even a trace of human beings. ]

[——It is indeed impossible to preserve it. ]

[If it was just a regular collapse, or at most a collapse beast of the last law level, perhaps the past scenes could be preserved a little bit, and not be completely destroyed, but the existence of the Herrscher is too excessive. ]

[Let’s not talk about the First Herrscher who controls creation. Since the Second Herrscher set a precedent, the birth of any Herrscher is world-class.]

[The inability to replicate the past scenery has also added a lot of regrets to your journey. After all, it is still impossible to completely make up for all the mistakes. ]

【Time is such a cruel thing. 】

【What is past is past forever. 】

[Nothing in nature has the same warmth as human hearts, leaving room for buffering and giving everyone the possibility to retreat a little.]

[Even if I go back to the past, even if I try to find the world that remains in my memory, the scenery will only be different. ]

[Even Jiang Cheng felt sad about this, thinking that this trip was all half-hearted and nothing could be called qualified.]

[Perhaps his sadness comes from this...]

【Feel sorry……】

[Only this matter, even you can't reproduce everything in the past, all you can do is just move forward mindlessly. ]

[Don't think about those messy things, isolate yourself from everything in the true sense, and just move forward, forward, and keep moving forward. ]

[If this is really possible, this journey won't be completely unbearable. He who has lost his emotions... can also hypnotize himself. ]

[In any case, Jiangcheng is still Jiangcheng. ]

[No matter how much he changes, he will never become another person. ]

[What if the journey is not up to standard? As long as the people accompanying you are up to standard, that’s all that matters. ]

[This failure is never something that cannot be changed. At least with the help of Mobius, you can put your finger on your lips like before, and tell them to keep it a secret in a mysterious voice, deliberately delaying for a whole day, and then take the boy to the destination, gently holding his hand to the place that should have been completely destroyed.]

……

The lotus-like skirt was blown up by the mountain breeze. Alicia stood close to the cliff in her high heels, standing straight and slender, like a newly born tree, its treetops facing the gentle breeze.

The girl, who was as powerful as a monster, seemed to be about to fall off the cliff like a miserable bird if she was pushed lightly, although the only person who had this right did not want to have this right.

"I'm here. Am I there now?"

The boy, his eyes covered with a warm handkerchief, stepped lightly over the dry grass, which blocked all his vision as promised, and his feet seemed shaky.

"Okay, okay, we've reached our destination."

It was not until she heard footsteps approaching from behind that the girl turned around gently and patted Jiang Cheng's shoulders with her hands as if she had expected it.

"You may untie the handkerchief now."

"Please free your eyes~?"

Jiang Cheng untied his handkerchief, and the setting sun surged into his vision like a tide. The huge sun had already touched the sea surface, and tens of millions of tons of sea water were rippling slowly under his feet. The tide broke into white splashes of water under the black cliff.

The wind blows over tens of thousands of hectares of forest, showing the miracle created overnight. The woods in the evening look like the sea from a distance, a crimson sea. Thousands of treetops sway in the wind, forming layers of waves.

Small towns are distributed along the winding coastline. Alicia told Jiang Cheng the names of those towns one by one. Below the cliff is Fenghua Town, and a little further away are Melo Petersburg and Fontaine Town. These are all places they have been to together and left unforgettable memories.

Although this profound feeling was more for the young boy, because the second birthday party was held in Fontainebleau, the scenery of the seaside town was only without a seat for him, and the rolling waves only carried the loneliness of one person.

This place was originally desolate, but after being set as one of the destinations of the journey, the girl's support group took less than half a month to transform this small town into a fairy-tale-like and beautiful seaside back garden.

As a city that received over a hundred bigwigs from all walks of life on the same day, if the mayor can seize this opportunity, perhaps Fontaine will one day become a famous big city, although the premise is that the collapse does not come.

In the fourth great collapse, this beautiful town was completely torn apart, leaving no one alive. Even the ocean was polluted, and everything that was once relied on for survival has disappeared. There are no fish or shrimps, only the shadowy collapse beasts.

Until the eighth destruction of the Herrscher of Flame, the polluted ocean was reduced to ashes, and the sea of ​​the coastal town was gone.

The current scenery was just a memory that had been hastily created after spending a day seeking help from Mobius, relying on the excessive authority of the Herrscher.

Even the specific scenery is different. It can only be arranged according to the feeling that it should be. Some places even look a bit confusing.

Some small facilities designed specifically for the convenience of pedestrians seem very out of place in this deserted town without a trace of life.

The Ferris wheel was rotating slowly, but it was not carrying any passengers. Compared with the Ferris wheels in large amusement parks, the Ferris wheel here was only a miniature version, but it was magnified in the sunset, and its huge shadow was cast on the undulating sea of ​​trees.

This building was actually built temporarily. Strictly speaking, it was dug out from somewhere else and placed here after an emergency repair.

The structure of the wires was not even connected to the surrounding equipment. It was buried in the ground like a cover-up, and it was only turning on unnatural energy. A faint creaking sound could be heard from the not-so-good lubricant applied.

Perhaps due to the great distance, the sound seemed extremely small, but for the Herrscher, even the slightest movement could be captured clearly.

creak-

creak-

It was so conspicuous that it was like someone shouting with a loudspeaker, with hundreds of people pointing their fingers at that place, telling people of the flaws and defects there.

"I'm sorry, but this is all I can do."

"There isn't much left on Earth that can be used."

Alicia couldn't face the mess she had created calmly, and could only bury her face behind the boy like a turtle.

No matter how clever a fairy is, he will feel powerless when faced with only one day left and a cliff that is so devastated that only wasteland remains and not a single blade of grass.

Even the act of blindfolding is not essentially intended to bring surprises, to create an atmosphere for something that is actually no different from a rag, but just to hope that people can skip the road that has not been repaired at all and can be seen to have flaws at a glance.

"Don't say that."

"I actually don't remember it clearly, and I need you to explain it to me again and again."

"I can't remember or imagine what this place looks like exactly, but at least if I imagine it based on what you said and the filter in my mind."

Jiang Cheng gently patted the back of the hand on his shoulder. His slender fingertips could still feel the touch of the soil. He took a deep breath and looked at the rusty and even misaligned yellow train on the seaside track. He softened the power that had passed through the origin and exhaled with a fragrant breath.

"this is not……"

"——Is it great already?"

……

[In this way, there will be absolutely no regrets at this birthday party - Jiang Cheng calmly accepts all your imperfections and mistakes.]

[Until now, you realize how short this journey is. It would not even take two years just to see the scenery.]

[How foolish and arrogant you were back then. Even just thinking about your actions makes me feel sick to my soul.]

[Obviously, this is a trip that only belongs to you and Jiang Cheng. As childhood sweethearts, you expand your horizons together and look at the world.]

[We clearly agreed to do whatever we want together, no matter where we go, without a destination, and we don’t need a set destination. ]

[Even when you left, you agreed to stay together forever, and Jiang Cheng agreed to your trip in exchange for his companionship. ]

[In fact, you had a goal in advance, and followed your own ideas to do it, recklessly determining target locations one after another on the map, saying one thing and thinking another, which was extremely hypocritical from the beginning. ]

[Every place you go, every goal you decide, and even every view you see are all designed by you with your own selfish intentions.]

[There are no surprises, no freedom, it's just that the boy is constantly tossed around by you and accompanies you to where you want to go. ]

[Jiang Cheng is right beside you, but your heart is filled with other strangers. You would rather invest your time in others than look at him any more.]

【What were you thinking at that time? 】

【Why would you do something so ridiculous? 】

[Even though you are the same person now, you cannot comprehend your thoughts at that time at all. It is almost like you are schizophrenic.]

[Your love for the boy was never born suddenly when you lost him. It is too cheap to cherish him just because he is gone.]

[This feeling has been engraved since the moment the boy brought you into this world and reached out to you when you were alone in the jungle.]

[If you really were the type who didn’t start loving Jiang Cheng until he left, then this love couldn’t be pure in nature. It was just because you felt dissatisfied with someone taking away something from you, and you hated Wei Erwei.]

[Then there is no way you would be here right now. You would have immediately gotten out of here the moment you realized this.]

[There is no need to have any extra thoughts or actions, because if you still have a little bit of morality and wisdom, you will not try to use such a ridiculous willfulness to fight against other people's true love. ]

[Your depravity and gradual filthiness also take time to occur, and you won't become an extremely evil villain from the beginning. ]

Chapter of Stars and Moon: 138. Birthday Party for Jiang Cheng

[Although according to human morality, even now you can still be called a good person and be included in the ranks of kindness and purity. ]

[When you first lost someone, once you realized that your love was impure, you would probably be so ashamed that you would run away from the boy.]

[It is precisely because this love is subjective from the beginning, not the dissatisfaction of being taken away, nor the emptiness after losing, that you have the courage to watch the boy's life as a bystander and a voyeur. ]

[At that time, you really couldn’t understand all this. You knew nothing and didn’t care about anything. ]

[Perhaps because he is still ignorant of the mundane world and is too spoiled by Jiang Cheng, he has not experienced even a little bit of cruelty in the world.]

[Human beings are inherently selfish. They will intentionally favor those who are close to them, and they care more about those around them than strangers.]

[Because the life span and wisdom of an individual are limited, the number of people one can meet, see, and remember at the same time is not endless. ]

[A person may only be able to remember a few hundred people in his lifetime. Even for a Herrscher, the number of people who can leave a deep impression in his heart will not exceed this number.]

[This is not a question of memory. No matter how many people you can remember, time itself limits the limit of an individual's life and thinking.]

[Because there are only 24 hours in a day anyway, if you choose to give more to others, you will have to give less to those around you.]

[Although time is a relatively abstract description, it is indeed a fact that cannot be changed for individuals in the real world.]

[Even if the celestial body provides excessive force, all it can do is slow down the time in a certain range, nothing more.]

[The cruelest thing in this world is time. It is never enough, it always passes too fast, and there is never a chance to rewrite what happened in the past.]

[If it was someone else, they would have already started complaining. Who can accept that their partner treats them like air? It is only because you, a despicable and shameless guy, think that Jiang Cheng is easy to bully that you can continue to do so.]

[If Wei Erwei hadn't suddenly appeared and interrupted all this, who knows how long Jiang Cheng would have been hurt by you as your childhood sweetheart and companion? ]
