Jing Yuan: I'm Gone!?

[Kiana: I'm a clone. Dad's hand was my doing too. And I stole my name from my sister...]

The information that hit Kiana today was overwhelming. First, the Second Herrscher turned out to be her sister. Then she learned her mother was killed by the Schicksal Overseer. Next came the revelation that her sister was Schicksal's strongest S-rank Valkyrie. And finally, she discovered she wasn't even Seigfried and Cecilia's biological daughter—not even human, just a clone created to revive the Herrscher of the Void.

Seeing Kiana's reaction, Theresa and the others worriedly made their way to her room.

They arrived at Kiana's door and knocked softly. When Kiana opened it and saw her companions, the tears she'd been holding back spilled over.

"Himeko... I'm not the real Kiana... I'm just a clone who stole someone else's name..."

Himeko stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Kiana, comforting her. "Kiana, don't be sad. No matter who you are, you're family to us. We'll always be by your side."

Seeing Kiana crying, Theresa's heart ached. "Kiana, I'm a clone too. My code name is A310. There's nothing different between us. Look at me—I'm living just fine, aren't I?"

"Auntie... you're also..."

Mei chimed in to comfort her. "Kiana, your origins don't matter. No matter where you came from or how you got your name, the adventures we shared in Changkong City and the life we lived together at St. Freya Academy—those are all real, aren't they?"

Bronya added, "The Bronya I know is only that idiot Kiana."

Meanwhile, in the livestream room, Seigfried and Durandal also offered their reassurance.

[Seigfried: Kiana, you're my daughter. No matter what anyone else thinks, you are Seigfried's daughter.]

[Durandal: That's right. The name Kiana already belongs to you. And I am your sister, Durandal.]

[Kiana: Dad... and Sis...]

Seeing everyone's care for her, Kiana's mood finally lifted.

Right. No matter who I am, the memories I share with Mei and the others aren't fake. The bonds between us aren't fake. That's enough.

[Playing the next video.]

[Old Yang: You bastard! Are you going to be my life's guide too?!]

(This video is from Little Broken Site author "Shi Anlan YA!")

In the Space Station, March 7th had just woken up and looked at the title with confusion.

"Uncle Yang, who's that? Why would they be your life's guide?"

Old Yang, who was tending to the newly awakened March 7th, grimaced at the title. A golden-haired figure flashed through his mind.

"Could it be..."

Before Old Yang could react, the video gave him the answer.

On the screen, a blond young man was sprawled over a hospital bed, sobbing loudly. Beside him, a pink-haired loli stood with a grim expression.

[Fu Xuan: It is This Seat!]

[Yanqing: And me!]

[Sushang: But Yanqing, why are you crying so sadly?]

[Qingque: The Great Augur too—she looks awful.]

[Jing Yuan: Did something happen on the Xianzhou?]

"General! How could you leave so soon? I haven't even claimed the title of Sword Champion yet, or become a legend remembered across the Xianzhou..."

"Jing Yuan, I always wanted your position as Shogun, but I never thought it would happen like this."

"Don't worry. I'll definitely lead the Luofu well. I'll become a..."

[Fu Xuan: What! Jing Yuan actually...]

[Yanqing: Lady Shogun!]

[Bailu: But the General didn't seem ill recently.]

[Qingque: Yeah, yeah. I saw him strolling around Golden Man Alley just two days ago.]

[Hu Tao: Too bad it's another world. Otherwise, Wangsheng Funeral Parlor would have its monthly quota.]

[Zhongli: Director, by universal reason, this isn't a good time for salesmanship.]

[Old Yang: So the Xianzhou's General was assassinated, or died in battle protecting the ship?]

[Hua (Marshal of the Xianzhou): This is a provocation against the Xianzhou. No matter who it is, the arrow of The Hunt will pierce their heart!]

"Um... I'm not dead yet!" Jing Yuan, lying on the hospital bed, heard the two beside him and awkwardly reminded them.

"Ghost! ×2" Fu Xuan and Yanqing, seeing a "resurrected" Jing Yuan, jumped back in fright.

[Fu Xuan: So you weren't dead!]

[Yanqing: Thank goodness, General Jing Yuan is fine.]

[Lumine: Then why did you two think the General was dead in the video?]

[Fu Xuan/Yanqing: Well...]

"Haha, I had Stelle tell you: 'I have one last thing to entrust to you.'"

"She thought I was leaving a will."

Yanqing sighed helplessly and handed the peeled apple to Jing Yuan.

"You really are something, General—bringing up final matters like that. It's bound to make people overthink!"

Jing Yuan shrugged nonchalantly. "It's just that my wounds are nearly healed, so I figured I'd get the last thing off my chest while lying in bed."

"Oh, right, Fu Qing," he added, as if suddenly remembering something, turning to Fu Xuan, who sat nearby with her legs crossed and a sour look on her face. "How does it feel being the general?"

"You'd better just stay lying down. This time, luckily the Stellaris Train crew came to help, or who knows what chaos might've broken out."

[March 7th: Wait, we're involved?]

[Himeko: But the Luofu isn't on our upcoming itinerary.]

[Old Yang: Looks like something unexpected changed our course.]

[Jing Yuan: I don't know what happened on the Future Xianzhou, but Jing Yuan thanks everyone on the train in advance.]

[Star: No problem, no problem—as long as the pay's good enough.]

[March 7th: Hey! Don't make us sound like some mercenaries! Dan Heng, say something to her!]

[Blade: Dan Heng... There are five people, three debts—you are one of them!]

[Dan Heng: I'm not him.]

[Blade: You can't escape...]

[Sushang: But seriously, what could happen on the future Luofu that they'd need to call the Stellaris Train for help?]

[Fu Xuan: When it comes to Xianzhou's problems, it should only be The Abundance. But even they shouldn't be able to harm the General.]

[Fu Xuan: Besides, if the Luofu faced a real crisis, they'd contact other Xianzhou ships, not seek help from the Stellaris Train.]

[Fu Xuan: That means, in the future, there will be other enemies coming to the Luofu besides The Abundance—and someone else altogether requested the Stellaris Train to come.]
