Type-Moon's Problem Child from Honkai

Amidst the shocked expressions of the others, chains and spears filled the sky above Taixu Mountain. The Void Sword God, wielded with full power by the Herrscher, constantly tested their nerves.

"As expected of Junior Disciple Brother."

"Pfft!"

Unlike last time, this time the attack landed on his chest.

And the one piercing his chest was Lian Su, who had been in his hand just a second ago.

It was sudden. Among those present, only Su Mei showed no surprise.

Fu Yuan suddenly seemed to understand everything. He finally grasped it all.

He understood why Senior Sister had carved her name onto his sword, why she gave it back to him after more than half a year, and why, despite his exceptional swordsmanship talent, he couldn't cultivate a Sword Heart.

He understood why Senior Sister always held his sword!

He figured it out – had everything been meticulously planned out from the very beginning!

"Ha! Hahahahaha! I knew it! Senior Sister, you are a peerless genius! How could you possibly fail to cultivate a Sword Heart!"

He laughed wildly, his former innocent demeanor completely gone.

Simultaneously, his height changed, no longer that of a child.

Fu Yuan slowly pulled the sword from his chest, then snapped it in half at the spot where the name was carved!

He had finally understood; it was himself who had been longing for something all along!

Su Mei's face visibly paled, but she didn't appear weak. Instead, she let out a couple of light chuckles.

It was as if she truly didn't care about anything...

"But Junior Disciple Brother, can you really continue fighting now?"

Su Mei looked like she had victory in her grasp, yet in reality, she couldn't fathom any chance for Fu Yuan to turn the tables.

"Kill him!"

Jiang Wan Xi didn't care about this sibling bond. In fact, she didn't dare to gamble on it.

She was afraid; afraid that if she couldn't kill Fu Yuan now, he might return to his peak in two years and seek revenge.

What she wanted was freedom!

Fu Hua clearly didn't understand how things had come to this, but she knew that if she didn't do something, Little Yuan would die!

With great effort, she managed to muster a sliver of strength, but the next moment, Fu Yuan took Yu Du Chen from her.

"No!"

You can't! Little Yuan is just a child. What will be left of him after using that thing!

The others, though they didn't know what Fu Yuan was planning or what the item in his hand was, weren't foolish enough to test its effects.

Fu Yuan didn't dodge, and he couldn't anymore!

Stealing sound, severing shadow, erasing sensation – even he had no power to resist.

But it didn't matter anymore!

Yu Du Chen

Primary Rated Power

Exchanging memory for vitality and combat power.

Fu Yuan's memories weren't long, barely over 30 years combined from his past life.

But [Eternal Memory] (Fragmented) granted him the ability to enhance his memory.

It hurt!

The moment his sense of touch returned, Fu Yuan felt pain coursing through his entire body.

But he didn't die!

[Transcendence] (Fragmented)

The rage in his heart churned, yet his eyes seemed to gradually lose their light, appearing vacant.

The challenges in swordsmanship, the difficulties in life, all seemed to have their strategies laid out before him at this moment.

But Fu Yuan didn't care about those now. He blocked the long sword that lunged at him again, and the chains on his body, as if continuously strengthening, also blocked attacks from other directions.

The spears in the air seemed to have eyes, accurately finding every weakness of Senior Sister and Senior Brother.

"Impossible!"

Cheng Ling Shuang couldn't accept this outcome at all. Her talent, which she had always prided herself on, felt like a joke.

But despite her anger, the three spears impaling her were very real.

"Guh! Truly worthy of Junior Disciple Brother!"

Su Mei could no longer suppress her injuries and spat out a mouthful of blood!

Although she hadn't anticipated this turn of events, she wasn't inexplicably angry. Instead, her emotions returned to their usual state.

Fu Yuan ignored him, the memories in his mind still burning.

First, he tidied up his master's body, hoping it would heal faster. He might not be able to repay the kindness of his upbringing over so many years.

Then, he drew the Xuanyuan Sword, found years ago, from his master's back.

A rare expression flickered across his face.

"Please! Xiao Lin."

The little creature's expression was no longer as lively as before. With a heavy heart, she picked up the current Fu Hua and left, Yu Du Chen slung over her back.

She understood. Fu Yuan couldn't go through with it!

He was still the same idiot she met when they first saw each other! Even though he was so strong now!

Fu Hua said nothing. She understood she could do nothing now.

Fu Hua still didn't understand. Why!

But she couldn't change anything.

"Lost... Hahahaha! Kill me, flay me, do as you please, Junior Disciple Brother."

Su Mei suddenly burst into laughter, as if finally liberated.

Fu Yuan finally snapped back from gazing at his master's retreating figure, looking at Su Mei now with no emotion.

Su Mei closed her eyes in resignation, anticipating her own death.

The expected pain never came. Fu Yuan didn't even pause before her.

He slowly walked past the seven senior disciples and finally sat down on the threshold of the Floating Cloud Temple.

"I forgive you all."

His voice was soft, but everyone present heard it. Fu Yuan, however, no longer had the energy to see their reactions.

After sixteen years of affection, Fu Yuan ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it. He had even deliberately lured his master away. He truly understood nothing!

He didn't understand if the kindness of his upbringing over decades truly couldn't erase hatred.

He didn't understand if his master was too heartless, or if his senior disciples had demanded too much.

He didn't understand what kind of hatred could make their Sword Hearts unrepentant.

Watching the scene gradually become unfamiliar, Fu Yuan's eyes occasionally revealed confusion.

Should he not have survived in the first place?

Fu Yuan didn't know the answer.

For the first time, he felt fear of living.

He sometimes wondered if things would be better if he had never existed.

The once clean and tidy Floating Cloud Temple had become a ruin. The scenery outside the temple, however, hadn't changed much.

Unfortunately, all of Fu Yuan's memories were beginning to blur, and his vitality was also fading.

Only at times like this could the usually mischievous child be seen.

"So, this is what the scenery outside the temple looks like?"

ps. In the original work, after the regicide, only Qin Su Yi's Sword Heart shattered. The others lived quite freely.

Qin Su Yi was the first person Fu Hua killed upon his return. It could be said that her involvement in that incident was not small.

Qin Su Yi had a bit of Aika's personality. She liked her senior disciples and her master, but in the final choice, she sided with her senior disciples.

Lin Chao Yu founded the Taixu Sect, and Ma Yan Qing changed his name to Ma Fei Ma and married Lin Chao Yu.

Su Mei returned to Wu Shuang Sect, and Ma Yan Qing still obeyed her implicitly.

I forgot about Jiang Wan Xi and Jiang Wan Ru...

Cheng Ling Shuang lived in seclusion, claiming to be the Void Sword God? (Probably.)

However, their Sword Hearts did not shatter, indicating they did not betray their true selves.

None of them were good people.

ps.2.

The Celestial Being was truly powerful!

Fu Hua killed Lin Chao Yu's parents, who were in demonic possession, and took her in.

Fu Hua killed Su Mei's parents, who were in demonic possession, and took her in. Su Mei was already sensible!

Fu Hua killed an entire demonic sect, leaving Jiang Wan Ru, Jiang Wan Xi, and Cheng Ling Shuang with him.

Ma Yan Qing was similar...

Qin Su Yi was also quite remarkable. She had no past, remembered nothing, and was very dependent on her master and senior sister.

The Celestial Being still adopted a laissez-faire approach...

ps.3. This is a personal fan interpretation!

In the original work, Ma Yan Qing's Xuanyuan Sword (Crimson Shadow) can steal others' sight, and Jiang Wan Xi can steal their voices.

Here, I've set it up so that Taixu's Intent Essence can allow weapons to take form, and at a deeper level, they can possess their own special effects.

Chapter 59 Little Shirou?

"Little brother, you're not well yet, you can't just run around!"

"Big sister, I'm going to the rooftop, I'll be back soon!"

The nurse looked clearly helpless, watching the little boy who had already scampered upstairs, and didn't chase after him.

After all, who wouldn't like such a lively and cheerful child?

For example, the child in the same room as him seemed much more depressed.

Fate arrives, fate departs, fate ends; flowers bloom, flowers fade, flowers return to dust.

"...I already said, I forgive you all."

Fu Yuan leaned against the railing on the rooftop, feeling somewhat powerless, his eyes a little vacant, devoid of any discernible emotion.

Senior Sister is dead, died to let him live, it's rather ironic.

The one who wanted to die is alive, while the one who wanted to live is already dead.

Fu Yuan no longer thought about dying, nor did he have any reason to. He simply wanted to live.

It was quiet on the rooftop, only the sound of the wind blowing. Fu Yuan quite liked this atmosphere now.

Quiet, with no one to disturb him, as if he were in his own world.

However, this tranquility was soon broken by the sound of hurried footsteps.
