I realized how incredibly wrong I was.

Danzhu asked Cang Xuan for his opinion, but to his surprise, Cang Xuan refused outright.

"Me? I'm not that great. Surviving that time and accepting the mission to assist Chi Yuan was just carrying out the doctor's orders."

"I don't like the Doctor, nor do I like this mission. I'm just doing my duty as a servant..."

"But I like Hua."

"Yeah, that's what I think too."

Although only Fu Hua's figure appeared on the dark screen, the audience seemed to see Danzhu nodding earnestly.

"More than carrying out Mei's plan, more than the world's rebirth... I hope she can have a life of her own."

"I don't live to destroy the Honkai, I don't live to protect humanity, and I don't live to be Dr. MEI's tool. Even if I have to disobey orders, I will stop Chi Yuan from becoming like that."

"All we can do is delay it..." Cang Xuan said softly.

"That's enough, sister. We will all die, but Chi Yuan will live on. She will meet many, many people who will treat her sincerely."

"This is her story, and our part ends here."

Fu Hua listened to Cang Xuan and Danzhu's conversation, then closed her eyes, her sorrow barely concealed.

Cang Xuan's gentle voice and Danzhu's lively personality, combined with the mournful flute accompaniment, not only made Fu Hua in the story sad, but also broke down the audience's emotional defenses.

This isn't the first time Cang Xuan and Danzhu have appeared on screen. The last time they appeared was in Fu Hua's flashback in the first movie. However, thanks to that storyline, Cang Xuan and Danzhu have already left a deep impression on the audience.

At the same time, it also gradually drew Dr. MEI closer to Otto in their minds.

Mei became withdrawn and isolated.

"Cang Xuan and Danzhu are really good people. For Fu Hua, they even went against the plan set by Dr. MEI."

Elysia's nose tingled with emotion, especially after Danzhu's last words, which broke down the defenses of countless people.

Upon hearing Elysia's words, Mei forgot all about her reclusive state and an idea formed in her mind.

Dr. MEI is Dr. MEI.

Dr. Mobius can also be called Dr. MEI.

The fate of immortal beings, the exhilaration of the theory of lifespan.

"Cang Xuan and Danzhu are destined not to be with Fu Hua for long. How much pain will Fu Hua suffer when they die?"

"This is probably why this beautiful memory was sealed inside the feather."

Sakura sighed.

Ling asked, "Sister, do you mean that every feather contains a sad memory for Sister Hua?"

"That's right." Sakura stroked Rin's head. "The first feather represents my past confusion, the second feather represents my resentment towards Dr. MEI and my anger towards my comrades, and the third feather..."

Without needing much explanation from Sakura, the plot of the third feather has just appeared on the big screen, and the mystery of the Previous Era may be revealed in this movie.

The audience is very much looking forward to it.

"Mei, Kevin, Hua, Ying, and Ling have all been confirmed to be in the Previous Era, including Mobius's assistants Cang Xuan and Danzhu. This means that we are very likely all in the Previous Era, and even more likely..."

Vill-V didn't finish her sentence.

But everyone knew what she meant.

The tone was heavy.

Remember...

Chapter 324 Himeko Appears? How Did the Seven Disciples Kill Their Master?

The audience hadn't yet recovered from the grief brought by Cang Xuan and Danzhu when the next person to appear on screen stunned them, leaving them rubbing their eyes in disbelief.

"Hime... Himeko?!"

Kiana's mouth opened slightly, and she stammered.

Himeko smiled, clearly having anticipated the current situation.

The memories of Feather did not end, but instead led to a small cabin. Just as Hua was feeling confused, the door was pushed open, and a mature red-haired woman leaned against the door frame.

A woman who resembled Himeko explained what had happened to Fu Hua, and it was beyond Hua's imagination: Canghai City was completely destroyed, and only a small number of survivors were rescued.

As Hua's savior, she needs to confirm that Hua's mind has not been corrupted by the Honkai.

In her youthful ignorance, Hua Lian had no idea where she would end up or where she could go. She needed to spend her whole life doing one thing, not thinking about it.

The exact same model.

They were certain they would never admit their mistake.

Himeko has indeed reappeared, but it doesn't seem to be the way they expected.

"What's going on?" Pardo asked, bewildered. "Weren't we watching Hua's memories? How did Himeko suddenly appear? Hua doesn't seem like someone from the current civilization."

"Reincarnation!?"

"Similar flowers".

"It's probably just a coincidence, right?"

Elysia, Sue, and Kevin surprisingly gave three different answers at the same time.

Elysia's concept of reincarnation was unsurprisingly overlooked, since Honkai is basically set in an apocalyptic world, not an Eastern fantasy.

Elysia was sulking.

"There's a saying that there must be someone in the world who looks exactly like you, and since they are from two different civilizations, it's normal for them to look alike. It's just that Himeko left such a deep impression on us."

Su said.

A woman resembling Himeko took Fu Hua away, leaving the audience with much to imagine. Considering the conflict between Fu Hua and Kevin over Mei, and the conversation mentioning the captain who was killed and became Herrscher, the conversation sparked speculation.

Since the 'Himeko' from the Previous Era was able to become Herrscher, their idea that Himeko would return as Herrscher in the later storyline becomes more likely.

Even now.

On the Collapse Official Website, many viewers still refuse to believe Himeko's death.

He comforted himself, Himeko would definitely come back.

After all, Yaqing, one of the screenwriters, has personally admitted it.

Having seen too many heart imprints within the feathers, Kiana showed some unusual behavior, so she and Bronya went back to find Lin Chaoyu.

Lin Chaoyu said this was normal, and similar things had happened before. She was somewhat surprised that Fu Hua hadn't even told Kiana about the Sword Heart Sutra.

Kiana took the opportunity to ask Lin Chaoyu about Fu Hua.

"Why should you seek knowledge from outsiders if your friends themselves are unwilling to tell you?"

Lin Chaoyu shook his head, refusing Kiana, but was willing to tell her a story.

This is exactly what the audience saw in "The Shenzhou Swordbreak Chronicle," only Lin Chaoyu explained it in more detail: each of the seven disciples had a Chi Yuan for killing their loved ones.

"Damn it, every time I see this plot, I feel so angry." Little Knowledge said angrily, "If it weren't for the old-timer, those guys would have died at the hands of the Dead Soldiers long ago. Do they expect parents Honkai by Honkai to remember their feelings for their children?!"

Little Knowledge was furious.

"That's right, the class monitor raised them, taught them martial arts, and in the end, he produced a few ungrateful wretches." Kiana was also indignant.

In the back rows of the screening room, the people from Golden Courtyard had no goodwill towards the seven disciples. No matter what their purpose was, betraying their master and ancestors was a stain that could not be erased.

Even Qin Su Yi, who carried Fu Hua out at the end, was only changed from being disliked to being a stranger in their hearts.

"Why?!" Kiana exclaimed in shock.

Lin Chaoyu explained the events of that night to Kiana in detail.

When Chi Yuan returned from the foot of the mountain, the eldest disciple should have come to greet her, but it was the youngest disciple who came. On the way up the mountain, Qin Su Yi really wanted to tell her master what was going to happen next.

Unfortunately, Su Mei, the second disciple, appeared, causing Qin Su Yi to swallow back the words she was about to say. When Chi Yuan stepped into Fuyun Temple, she realized that all seven of her disciples were there.

The seven people formed a pincer movement, with the third and sixth disciples making the first move, determined to kill Chi Yuan.

Lin Chaoyu gave a self-deprecating laugh.

The foolish eldest disciple did not make a move, missing the opportunity to strike first. In just the time it took to say a single sentence, Chi Yuan was able to quickly recover from her injuries.

Immortals neither age nor die.

At this crucial moment, the fifth disciple, who made the final move, was also the strongest of the seven disciples and the only one who had comprehended the Sword God's teachings.

The sword struck him squarely between the eyebrows, and the immortal temporarily lost his ability to regenerate.

At the same time, the other six swords struck Chi Yuan's body.

The invincible Scarlet Bird Immortal died just like that.

The novel * The Shenzhou Swordbreak Chronicle * doesn't provide such a detailed account of the crime, successfully igniting the audience's anger.

"Holy crap, are these seven apprentices even human?"

Before the movie and the web series aired, viewers never imagined that after watching so many Honkai, they would be so angry at people other than Otto that they wanted to send messages to the writers to kill them off.

How outrageous were the actions of the seven disciples?

Even Elysia couldn't stand it anymore.

Her brows were furrowed, and her beautiful eyes held both anger and sorrow.

The story begins with sadness over Fu Hua's past experiences, followed by extreme anger over the Seven Disciples' act of murdering their master.

Especially when I recall Fu Hua's miserable state at the beginning of the web series.

His right foot was severed at the ankle, the tendons and veins in both hands were destroyed, all his internal organs were damaged, and his heart was the most severely injured, with more than ten wounds...

"Damn scum, disgusting." The disgust in Kalpas's eyes was almost overflowing.

"With Hua's strength, he can sense their presence. Just based on that, he could easily kill them all."

"Vill-V said."

"Therefore, Fu Hua has complete faith in them." Mobius also had no good feelings towards these seven wicked disciples. "Fu Hua did not wrong them, but they wronged Fu Hua."

"But class monitor... Chi Yuan is still alive."

Kiana was puzzled. According to Lin Chaoyu's story, Fu Hua was killed by seven disciples, but she had just separated from Fu Hua not long ago.

"Yes, the Scarlet Bird Immortal is immortal. Twenty years later, she was resurrected and found all her disciples... This is the ending, but I haven't told you yet."

Lin Chaoyu's eyes were filled with sadness, and her expression was complex.

"Cause and effect? Retribution? It doesn't matter anymore... It's just a story."

Chapter 325 Fragile Kevin, Humanity Has Already Lost

Even now, viewers still don't understand why Lin Chaoyu has been able to live for so long. They initially thought it was Fu Hua's inner demon, but isn't the feather that Fu Hua currently stores her consciousness with Kevin?

Suddenly, they remembered the content of the promotional video.

Fu Hua, emanating black energy, attacked World Serpent and fought Kevin to a standstill.

Kiana and Bronya, having rested for a night, prepared to search for feathers again on Tai Xu Mountain. While they were resting, Lin Chaoyu found two feathers.

Without delay, Kiana immediately began reviewing her memories.

The first memory that appears in the feather is Fu Hua's originally peaceful day, which was unfortunately shattered by the sudden Honkai in the afternoon.

What caught the audience's attention most was the lively classmate Fu Hua encountered, whose character model was exactly the same as Carol from Post-Honkai Odyssey, even down to their personality.

First Himeko, then Carol.

Viewers even suspected that Schicksal might be short of funds, so they used identical models to save money.

"Is your Schicksal about to go bankrupt?"

Mobius touched the pendant on his chest.

"How could you have such an idea?" Yaqing looked bewildered. You should know that he was one of the behind-the-scenes bosses of World Serpent. World Serpent hadn't gone bankrupt yet, so how could Schicksal possibly go bankrupt?

"Modeling..."

Mobius said two words, Yaqing understood.
