Hua, You're Actually Underdeveloped / I Prefer Being Passive

"Moreover, Pan Zhen has quite a few complaints about us who ascended from the lower realms. You must know how terrifying people's hearts can be. Take my advice, it's best if you don't get too close to him..."

Li Sushang nodded as if she understood, but ultimately chose to suppress her urge to ask for help amidst her mother's anxious reaction.

But for some reason, a sense of unease crept into her heart, as if her elders were deliberately hiding something, which made her somewhat worried.

"Mother, when we descended to the Gate of the Heavenly Realm, the Emperor Lord seemed to only have us investigate the movements of the Kunlun ley lines."

"Isn't it too risky for everyone to sever the connection with the Tiandao Palace and remain in Kunlun Wonderland for three months? After all, no one knows what kind of defensive measures are in place around Pangu Tomb."

Qin Suyin stood up and gently stroked her daughter's head, looking straight ahead and speaking earnestly.

"Shang'er, I know you Princess have a close personal relationship, but you must understand that we are ultimately dependent on others, serving as their henchmen..."

"To remain standing in the Tiandao Palace, one must understand the master's thoughts and intentions. With just a glance from the Emperor Lord, we should learn to proactively solve his problems!"

"Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. After all, we are not native to the land of Lieyang Star, so we must strive to be the first in everything."

"Even if the Emperor Lord demands only a fraction, we must fulfill it tenfold! We absolutely cannot afford to utter a single complaint! This is the reason why we, the Tai Xu Seven Swords, have been able to survive to this day."

Li Sushang was naturally not fond of such class and servant concepts, but seeing her mother's unusual patience in explaining the principles of conduct to her, she could only pretend to listen attentively and nod slightly.

A scene of maternal love and filial piety clashed with the dimly lit house. Qin Suyin, who was comforting her daughter in her arms, raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression revealing an inexplicable gloom.

Master, it's a pity you left us too soon. Your disciples were never able to hear this most important secret from you.

Things are meant to be used eventually, and so are opportunities. Why insist on rigid rules and regulations? Can't we grant our disciples this one chance?

If you had submitted to the Emperor Lord back then, how could figures like Reina be so arrogant and domineering over us! Why risk offending the Emperor's authority by your own strength?

Meanwhile, in a courtyard house in Canghai City, Cheng Lixue stood at the entrance, holding a sword and observing the surroundings, performing the disciple's salute.

Fu Hua entered the room alone and gazed at the portrait of a busty, red-haired goddess with captivating eyes and a charming smile on the wall for a long time. The empty color in her eyes was gradually filled with a purplish-red hue.

The immortal came to his senses, paused for a moment, then got up and peeled back the portrait on the wall, revealing the hidden layer behind it.

Fu Hua gently pushed open the mottled wall, and inside a niche about half a person's height, there was a doll of a girl in a white ink-wash dress with a cowlick sticking up on her head.

This thing is an armed doll from the previous generation. It is a robot that combines a programmed Soul Steel mimicry core with weapons to create an automatic combat robot called the "Book of Cang Xuan".

This object was created by Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu. It contained a Honkai detector, GPS, firepower system, and software such as "King of Jokes" and "Story Collection" to take care of Fu Hua's daily life. Unfortunately, it ran out of energy at the end of the Tang Dynasty and lost its spirituality.

The Immortal Vermillion Bird glanced at the portrait of the busty goddess, spat inwardly, lowered her head to hold the armed doll in her palm and examine it closely, then bent her finger to retrieve the high-purity energy block behind her and filled it into the doll's abdomen.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, due to the limited level of Human Civilization, it was impossible to extract suitable energy, and they could only watch helplessly as the armed puppets became obsolete.

Now, after experiencing a series of natural disasters, countries have come up with all sorts of outlandish technologies, so the small charging problem can naturally be solved.

However, the moment the armed puppet restarted, a strange laugh came from its abdomen, and the hands of the Book of Cang Xuan suddenly pressed down on Fu Hua's chest.

"Hua, you've worked so hard all these years. Seeing you again, it's amazing how time has smoothed out your rough edges..."

"Yes, in every sense..."

As the little one playfully pinched something, the temperature inside the courtyard instantly turned as cold as an icebox.

P. S.: There will be another update around 2 AM.

The personalities of the Tai Xu Seven Swords have been largely established. I'm currently considering how to deal with them, and I welcome any suggestions.

The visual novel <The Chronicles of the Divine Land Sword Breaker> is a story about Fu Hua and the Tai Xu Seven Swords, but it's been delayed for a long time. miHoYo likes to retcon the original story and leave plot holes unfilled. By the time they finish writing it, I'll have finished my own work. I'll just design the power structure of Shenzhou myself instead.

In short, I need to learn from Urobutcher; how can I let a foreigner boast that our ancestors were even more awesome?

Chapter 706, Section 739: Hua, You Actually Need Development

"Boom!"

The shockwave ripped outwards like a thunderbolt, causing the outer walls to collapse. Cheng Lixue, who was guarding the door, changed her expression and rushed into the house. Only when she saw her master standing unharmed in front of the breach did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"Swatting mosquitoes..."

Fu Hua casually slipped his hand into his sleeve, gently stroking his disciple's disheveled hair from running, a faint smile blooming unintentionally on his face.

My master... smiled... smiled at me for the first time...

Cheng Lixue's heart pounded; an indescribable joy left her momentarily stunned.

"Is there anything else?"

The gentle question made Cheng Lixue subconsciously shake her head and immediately obediently retreat to the door to stand guard.

However, halfway there, the girl turned back to look at the wall behind her, which looked as if it had been cleaved by a sword. Her lips twitched slightly. "Do I need to use Inch Heart Fist' to swat a mosquito?"

Inside the room, Fu Hua waved his sleeve to disperse the dust, and a seven- or eight-inch-tall armed doll jumped onto the table with its hands on its hips, looking somewhat indignant.

"You dead bird, you've been around for five thousand years and you still haven't developed a single sense of humor!"

As Fu Hua turned around, her face turned frosty, and a gust of wind rose again inside the room. Her fair, jade-like fingers gripped the head of the armed doll, and the sickening metallic tremor echoed continuously.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die... I'm not playing anymore..."

Only when the glib-tongued armed puppet yielded did Fu Hua slowly withdraw her slender hand, which had been capable of cutting through gold and jade, and she returned to her calm and serene demeanor as a sage.

"I'm your sister Dan Zhu. It's an old friend meeting again, could you please give me some face, Hua?"

The armed dummy sat on the table, rubbing its deformed head and muttering to itself. Its head, which had almost been crushed into a thin sheet, gradually began to repair itself.

"I know, that's why I deserve to beat you up even more..."

Fu Hua murmured softly, holding the armed doll tightly in her arms, a look of sadness and remembrance appearing on her elegant face.

The Book of Cang Xuan is based on the armed dolls created by the twin goddesses Cang Xuan, but Dan Zhu was the one who did most of the manual work of creating the dolls.

Therefore, given her unconventional personality, it was within Fu Hua's expectations that she would leave some hidden doors in the Creator's Creation Grounds.

Therefore, the AI consciousness in front of us is not the original version of the armed puppet, but most likely a program left by Dan Zhu.

However, Fu Hua did not expect that the key to triggering the program would actually be the second embedding of the energy module.

Without Kevin's help, as her memories burned away, she almost forgot even the existence of the armed doll.

"Sweetie, pat pat, don't cry..."

The armed mascot stood on tiptoe and patted Fu Hua's head in a comical gesture, its optimism infectious.

"I'm sorry, even five thousand years later, we still place all the burdens on your shoulders..."

Dan Zhu broke free from Fu Hua's embrace, paced on the table, and looked at his former best friend with an apologetic tone.

Will we ever see each other again?

Fu Hua shook her head slightly, couldn't help but bite her lower lip, and asked with a hint of expectation.

"Perhaps it will, perhaps it won't. When I left this program, I didn't even know what the future held."

"But in any case, as long as you're alive, there's hope. You must believe in the miracles of life, Hua..."

Dan Zhu, on the other hand, was extremely easygoing. She gently comforted her friend, and after the two calmed down, her face tightened, and she changed the subject.

"Alright, alright, to make a long story short, now that we can restart the Book of Cang Xuan, it proves that your era has evolved into an advanced civilization, which lays the foundation for uncovering many secrets..."

Do you still remember the specific details of Skyfire Project and Dragon Vein Project?

Upon hearing those two key terms, a jumble of thoughts rushed through her mind, and the stinging pain made her clutch her head and groan involuntarily.

"Forget it, everyone knows about the side effects of [Feathered Dust], so I'll explain them."

"Since the end of the Moonlight War, we Final Herrscher has finally completed the destruction of the world, and [The Fire Moth] has entrusted the responsibility of restarting civilization to both sides."

"Immortal Vermillion Bird Fu Hua! Kevin, the strongest Fusion Warrior!"

"In other words, we've made two preparations: you and Kevin will each be responsible for restarting the Eastern and Western Civilizations, continuing the flame! Even if one side fails, the other can still guide humanity in the fight against the Honkai."

Dan Zhu patted Fu Hua's cheek tenderly, then put his hands behind his back and solemnly stated his position.

"In fact, scientists from [The Fire Moth] have long discovered that Earth has experienced at least six Civilization Era, and that multiple extinct civilization zones are buried within the Imaginary Space."

"Through excavation, we obtained a large amount of cutting-edge technology from it, but unfortunately, the Honkai was too strong. Faced with the apostles of God, our era still ended in failure."

"Therefore, everyone has no choice but to place their hopes on the next Civilization Era, and [The Fire Moth] has reserved two trump cards for you and Kevin..."

When she got to the part about being nervous, the girl paused, drew a circle in the air with her index finger, and her tense little face was quite adorable.

"First, the remains of the Pangu Clan buried at the entrance of Mount Tai Xu... Pangu Tomb!"

"Secondly, the arsenal of weapons from the patriarchal angel era hidden at the confluence of Mesopotamia... Eden!"

"These are traces left on Earth by extraterrestrial civilizations. Unfortunately, our technology at the time was not advanced enough to fully analyze the data inside, so we could only seal them away and leave them to you and Kevin."

"Therefore, according to mythological analysis, you became the Nine Heavens Xuannü guarding the Western Kunlun Mountains..."

"And he is the Judgment Angel from Mesopotamia, the guardian of Eden..."

"However, it seems that none of you have inherited the assets of the two civilizations' ruins..."

As Dan Zhu narrated, fragmented memories gradually surfaced in Fu Hua's mind, but due to the passage of time and the aftereffects of using the Feathered Dust, the content remained somewhat vague.

Dan Zhu seemed to have gotten tired of turning around, so she sat on the edge of the table, swinging her short legs and resting her chin on her hand as she continued to recount various secrets.

"Then, let me tell you why Cang Xuan and I left without saying goodbye. Actually, we were almost at the limit of our lifespans at that time."

"In order to seek a breakthrough and to launch the [Dragon Vein Project], we plan to conduct a comprehensive survey of the Pangu Tomb to see if we can obtain methods to extend lifespan and resist the Honkai..."

"After Ji Lin's sacrifice, to prevent that kid Lian Shan from doing something foolish, we used a special method of communication to take him along as well."

Fu Hua nodded slightly and showed a dark red rubbing with intaglio markings.

"I've been to the Nine Netherworld before. The Judgment-class Honkai Beast Chi You is dead, and we've also found the clues left by Lian Shan..."

Dan Zhu couldn't help but beam with joy, jumping up and lightly patting Fu Hua on the shoulder.

"Great! That makes things much simpler. It records the location where we'll meet up with Lian Shan, the so-called Imaginary Space Observation Station, called [Three Sovereigns Fire Cloud Cave]. I came up with the name, isn't it cool?"

"This contains a wealth of data for observing the movements of the Pangu Tomb, methods for entering it, and some handy tools."

"If we haven't returned when the Book of Cang Xuan restarts, it most likely proves that the trip to Pangu Tomb failed. From now on, you'll have to walk the rest of the way by yourself..."

Upon hearing this, Fu Hua's expression darkened. She gently stroked the head of the armed doll, her cherry lips pressed tightly together.

Dan Zhu smiled with narrowed eyes, turned over and stood up, stroking his chin as he looked Fu Hua up and down, then his face turned serious.

"Hmm, based on my years of experience in creating babies, the slight bluish tint to the whites of your eyes and the fact that you keep your legs tightly closed when you sit, I can basically conclude that you are still a virgin, right?"

"Finally, before you leave, here's a piece of advice: quickly find a boyfriend to vent your frustrations..."

"This kind of infertile soil condition is simply due to a lack of development..."

Instantly, the somber atmosphere in the room was dispelled by an overwhelming killing intent, accompanied by a low roar as powerful as thunder, like the clanging of swords and axes.

"Inch Force - Heaven-Splitting!"

P. S.: The Pangu Creates the World, the seclusion of the Three Sovereigns in the Huoyun Cave, the emergence of the Mysterious Maiden from Kunlun, and the entanglement between Kevin and the Angel Civilization have all been basically filled in.

The future will be even more interesting. (Chapter 704 has been edited. Please refresh the page. We apologize for any inconvenience.)

P. S.: I recommend this author's book, <Dio Brando is Challenging FGO>.

His exceptional learning ability, extraordinary creativity, outstanding adaptability, and remarkable personal charisma allow him to survive and build his own power in any era and any environment—you thought I was talking about a Master of the First Rank? Actually, it's me, DIO!

A wondrous kaleidoscope allowed Jojo to glimpse a strange story, which he then recorded—the story of DIO, a traitorous man seeking to seize the position of Director of Chaldea, challenging the Grand Order.

"Your first kiss wasn't ██, it was mine Lenice's!"

"Your ancestor isn't the Warachia, it's me Altrouge!"

"The one who summoned Da Vinci with a single pull from the charm was none other than me, DIO!"

"Gudako, do you... believe in gravity?"

(↑Continuously updating)

P. S.: This novel was created from dice rolls. The results were so interesting that I compiled them into a novel. The plot unfolds depending on the dice-rolling girl's mood, but the main storyline is, of course, Grand Order.

Chapter 707, Section 740: I Prefer Passivity
