While internal strife raged in the Taixu Realm, Taixu Mountain remained utterly tranquil. All the spirit beasts tacitly avoided this area, as it seemed to have become a sacred place in their minds.

Sacred and inviolable

Of course, if you want to attack, you can, but be prepared to be ruthlessly driven out or even killed.

Fu Hua wouldn't easily kill their spirit beast group, but that doesn't mean that anyone other than Fu Hua wouldn't, especially when Ji Lin was in a bad mood.

When I'm in a bad mood, Black Ji Lin will come out. And when Black Ji Lin comes out, all I can say is, rest in peace!

You have no chance of survival.

This was a decision made unanimously by everyone after suffering heavy losses. Even the Heavenly Court, without anyone realizing it, diverted the flames of war away from Taixu Mountain.

Peace and tranquility reign within the mountains, where all things flourish.

Fu Hua and Ji Lin sat facing each other, talking in hushed tones, with occasional bursts of laughter. Fu Hua's shoulder seemed to have become the exclusive spot for the Book of Cang Xuan.

She could sit on the Yin Yang Sphere, but she always prefers to stay on Fu Hua's shoulder, either sleeping or joining in their conversations.

Whenever the Book of Cang Xuan Profound speaks, Fu Hua always looks at her with gentle eyes and listens quietly until she finishes speaking.

The smile on her lips always warmed people's hearts, and even her sharp temperament softened considerably. However, Fu Hua was completely unaware of this, and only Ji Lin, who had been watching Fu Hua the whole time, understood.

She, who had been on edge the whole time, finally relaxed a lot.

The resurrection of old friends and the reunion of companions gradually mend the wounded soul. Even knowing that the mending has only a minor effect, it can still relax the weary.

Ji Lin was genuinely happy for Fu Hua.

"Crimson Kite, what are your plans after this?"

Although the Taixu Realm belongs to Fu Hua, it is not Fu Hua. At most, she has taken advantage of the Taixu Realm was weak and without a ruler. However, as Fu Hua grows, the Taixu Realm also continues to grow.

Realm Spirits are beings that arise in every world. They represent the power of a world, can control the changes in a world, and can even absorb enemies into their realm to suppress their power.

The same applies to the Taixu Realm; it also has its own Realm Spirit, but at this moment, the Realm Spirit is too weak to compare with a fully grown Realm Spirit.

"Leave the Taixu Realm, settle the affairs of the Douluo Continent, and then find the way back to our world."

"Do we want to go back again?" Ji Lin asked in a low voice.

If she could, she wouldn't want to

Fu Hua hesitated for a moment, then looked directly at Ji Lin with a firm gaze.

Yes, some things are beyond our control and cannot be changed, but some things need to be resolved completely.

Fu Hua always remembered her mission as a Fusion Warrior. Since she had a way to find her way back, why not give it a try?

After arriving in the Douluo Continent, Fu Hua had thought about reviving Danzhu and Cang Xuan. Now, this idea is halfway complete. Although Fu Hua feels slightly uncomfortable with this method of revival, it is still a viable option.

When she truly possesses the power to revive all things in the future, she will completely bring Ji Lin and the others back to life.

"Yes! Some things do need to be resolved completely. Whether you can find your way back or not, Crimson Kite, please remember, you are no longer alone. Even if I can't be by your side all the time, I am still with you, not to mention Xiao Xuan."

"I see"

—No, Crimson Kite, you don't understand.

Ji Lin thought bitterly.

You are strong, but it is precisely because of this strength that you have put heavier shackles on yourself. Great power means heavier responsibility. You have never let go of the past.

The mission to defeat the Honkai and to pass on the Core Flame of civilization are deeply ingrained in your heart. Even if it's unintentional, you will do these things because it is your responsibility.

The laughter and conversations you shared with Cang Xiaoxuan were one of the few genuine moments you showed. If possible, I would prefer you to continue like this, without any mission or responsibility, simply living out your own true self.

Unfortunately, Ji Lin couldn't say these words to Fu Hua, because he knew that it would only Fu Hua feel more guilty.

When a crisis strikes, people always think of others first, and only think of themselves last.

"Ji Lin," Fu Hua called softly.

Ji Lin suppressed her bitterness and smiled slightly, "It's been a long time since I've talked with Crimson Kite like this. I'm truly happy."

"Me too," Fu Hua smiled.

"Hmm! But we can't just talk about our business. There will be other opportunities in the future. Those people have been waiting for you for a month. If you don't send them back soon, they might just tear your Taixu Mountain apart."

Ji Lin winked mischievously, and his words Fu Hua smile.

I will.

"I'm at ease entrusting the Xuanyuan Sword to you. This way, we can fight side by side again."

I will cherish it.

"Please don't. If you cherish me, I might rust."

"Yes! Yes! It's safer for Crimson Kite to carry a weapon," Book of Cang Xuan nodded in agreement.

Of course, this safety refers to the safety of others.

"Then, I'll leave Crimson Kite to you, Xiao Xuan."

Cang Xiaoxuan patted her flat chest and said solemnly, "Don't worry, leave it to me! I'll definitely keep an eye on that blockhead and make sure she doesn't go around causing trouble (with women)."

The next sentence, Cang Xiaoxuan silently recited in his heart.

Mingdu Danzhu and his master Cang Xuan, he still goes around flirting with other women. As for Ji Lin, well, since he's a friend of his master, I'll let it go, but no one else is allowed.

Cang Xiaoxuan secretly vowed that he would never let Fu Hua flirt with girls again. Seriously, why is his immortal so popular with women?

Suddenly remembering a certain enchantress from the past in Divine Land, Cang Xiaoxuan couldn't help but shudder.

This is absolutely forbidden!

Ji Lin was immediately amused by Cang Xiaoxuan. Come to think of it, the nickname "blockhead" was quite fitting for Crimson Kite.

After glancing at Fu Hua again, Ji Lin nodded affirmatively once more.

The sun rose in the east and gradually set in the west. At this moment, the sunlight was at its peak, and it was already noon. However, the trees in Taixu Mountain made it cool. Ji Lin stretched and said his final farewell.

"Then, Crimson Kite, farewell."

"Not long."

As soon as Fu Hua finished speaking, a golden light flashed, causing plants, birds, and beasts to dance, mountains and rivers to tremble, and stars to shine brightly, overshadowing the daytime light and connecting to Taixu Mountain.

When the Purple Star moves, Purple Qi arises out of nowhere.

Within the Purple Qi, faint traces of chaotic energy also floated.

The two fish, representing Yin Yang, swam and returned to their respective positions.

The incomparably noble and heavy Xuanyuan Sword appeared, with Purple Qi and Chaos Qi swirling around Xuanyuan Sword and Fu Hua, as if bidding a final farewell. It gently brushed against Fu Hua's hair before disappearing entirely into the Xuanyuan Sword.

The Xuanyuan Sword nimbly spun in the air, circling around Fu Hua several times before finally stopping in front of her.

Fu Hua first stared at the Xuanyuan Sword, which had changed again. The blade and hilt were decorated with dark gold, which concealed its sharpness and returned it to simplicity. The blade was thick and dull, and the tip had lost its original sharpness. It was hard to imagine that such a sword could be used to kill.

It's more of a decorative sword than a sharp one.

Between the hilt and the blade, a Yin Yang Bagua bead is embedded. The black fish is as black as ink, seemingly illuminating all the darkness in the world, while the white fish is as pure as ever, representing its original form, before it was tainted by the world.

One black, one white, revealing the truth of the world.

Fu Hua reached out and grasped the sword hilt. The seemingly heavy sword felt as light as a feather at this moment, as if it were an extension of her arm, allowing her to command it as easily as her arm.

Fu Hua couldn't help but murmur softly.

"Ji Lin"

The Xuanyuan Sword trembled slightly; this was Fu Hua's response.

But the tremor of the Xuanyuan Sword relieved Fu Hua's anxiety, and her fingers involuntarily tightened.

That was where Ji Lin was stationary.

Ji Lin is currently inside the Xuanyuan Sword. Although he cannot speak, he can see everything that Fu Hua has experienced.

The Xuanyuan Sword is like her eyes.

Yes, eyes

"Ji Lin, I will take you to see a wider world. There, you will surely find a way to recover."

The Xuanyuan Sword trembled again, and a warm feeling emanated from the palm of the hand holding the hilt. Fu Hua felt a warmth in her heart, and a smile couldn't help but appear on her face.

Today was probably the day she smiled the most.

"You blockhead, you're grinning like an idiot again," Cang Xiaoxuan suddenly said.

They bluntly misinterpreted Fu Hua's smile as a silly grin.

Even so, Fu Hua remained unperturbed, which is perhaps what is meant by indulgence!

The composure that only exists between a select few

"Xiao Xuan, can't you tell me why you're here?"

Fu Hua's sudden question startled Cang Xiaoxuan, who then looked troubled, her small face scrunched up like a steamed bun.

"Crimson Kite, I..."

"It's alright. If you can't say, then don't say. Xiao Xuan, there's no need to make things difficult for you."

Cang Xiaoxuan did not feel relieved by Fu Hua's words; in fact, Fu Hua made her even more upset.

The face of Mikoto Misaka appeared in my mind.

"Hmm? Sure! You can tell her if you want, but she might not... Never mind, it's up to you. Besides, I'm doing this for her sake."

—That person...and the Crimson Kite ...

Cang Xiaoxuan had no idea what Fu Hua had gone through since she fell into a deep sleep, nor did she know that Fu Hua had promised to take her as a disciple but had been betrayed by her disciple.

After Mikoto Misaka woke her up, the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was the scenery of Taixu Mountain. This was something that Ji Lin had mentioned unintentionally when she was talking to Mikoto Misaka.

However, precisely because of this, Cang Xiaoxuan was even more at a loss as to how to tell Fu Hua about the person she had forgotten and could never remember.

It's not just forgetting, nor is it the aftereffect of burning Yu Du Chen with memories; it's a complete and permanent inability to recall anything about that person.

Even if Mikoto Misaka appeared before Fu Hua, she would only be treated as a stranger, and would be forgotten again in the blink of an eye, repeating this cycle endlessly.

That's a fact that won't change no matter how strong Fu Hua is.

Beyond the world, in the eternal passage

Mikoto Misaka and Misaka Zero walked side by side in silence, oblivious to the vibrant, colorful world passing by.

"Are you willing to accept this?" Misaka Zero suddenly asked.

Mikoto Misaka hesitated for a moment, then said casually, "... What's there to be resentful about? When you made that choice, you already knew the consequences, didn't you?"

"Ha~ You're quite open-minded, truly a saint!" Misaka Zero said sarcastically, her face full of disdain.

She hated these pretentious people the most; just seeing them made her feel nauseous.

"Misaka Zero, I think you need some etiquette training."

"Tsk! I don't want to learn any etiquette. That stuff is so troublesome. Before you try to teach me, you should be the one learning it yourself."

"Misaka Zero, you're such a troublemaker—" Mikoto Misaka's expression was somewhat distorted. Knowing full well that she also hated etiquette class, she was still being forced to learn it.

Beyond the world, in the eternal passage, the playful chasing of the two gradually dissipated, leaving behind a somber atmosphere.

As expected, Mikoto Misaka is best suited to smiling!

P. S.: Did you expect that?! Ji Lin ~ Hehehe~

Also, have you noticed that Cang Xiaoxuan only calls Fu Hua" blockhead" in front of two people or people he knows well? In front of strangers, he usually calls her "Crimson Kite" or "Immortal" or something similar, so there's nothing wrong with that.
