The Real and Fake Monkey King; Li Kui Meets His Impostor (Part 2)

"Friend or foe, the choice is yours."

A better Fu Hua?

"I don't know how to put it, Little Knowledge doesn't think as much as the class monitor, and he's definitely entertaining to watch, but..."

Kiana, considering that Little Knowledge was sitting right next to her, didn't finish her sentence.

"What's wrong with her! When you encounter something that annoys you, just throw a couple of punches and it's over. Why keep it bottled up inside? It's because of this old fogey that I say I'm better than her!" Little Knowledge complained.

Little Knowledge really enjoyed what he did.

Whether it's causing havoc on Schicksal, venturing alone into the World Serpent, crushing Otto, or battling Kevin, these are all things the audience wants to see.

They have too much pent-up frustration in real life. They think knives are great and they have rich emotions, but they want to see fighting even more. It's exhilarating! It allows them to vent their pent-up dissatisfaction.

That's why Little Knowledge has won the hearts of so many viewers.

Fu Hua is different. She may feel dissatisfied with Otto, but she will consider Otto's importance in fighting the Honkai and will not kill him according to her heart.

"Little Knowledge, there are many things that cannot be solved by violence. We need to consider the consequences of violence, and also..."

When Little Knowledge heard that Fu Hua was about to start lecturing again, she quickly covered her ears to show that she wouldn't listen.

Fu Hua was also helpless.

The fight between Kevin and Little Knowledge that the audience was looking forward to was not shown. Instead, the scene jumped directly to Little Knowledge's exhaustion and excitement after the fight.

"Now you believe that I am the real person, right?"

Kevin then gave a meaningful look, raised his right hand to his chest, and looked up at the sky, but there was nothing there.

"?" Little Knowledge looked completely bewildered.

Yes, you are right here.

He stretched out his hand, and a feather floated into his palm.

"I'm giving it back to you, Hua."

Kevin said in a low voice.

While the lack of a civil war between the two warriors from the Previous Era was a particular disappointment for the audience, Kevin's actions left them even more bewildered.

"Did Kevin recognize him or not?"

Sakura voiced her inner doubts.

If Kevin recognized that the person in front of him was not Fu Hua, then why did he hand over Feather of the Wind to her? If he didn't recognize her, why did he make that intriguing expression?

"Kevin must have recognized him... right?"

Mei couldn't quite pinpoint Kevin's true thoughts. The last line, "I'll give it back to you," didn't seem like it was directed at Little Knowledge Shi, but rather at Fu Hua in the Feather of the Wind.

"It would be strange if the little follower didn't recognize her. Fu Hua has changed so much that she doesn't seem like the same person at all. As the strongest warrior, how could he not sense that Herrscher?"

Mobius had a different perspective.

She felt that Kevin giving Little Knowledge the feather containing Fu Hua's consciousness was more likely an attempt to get Fu Hua back into his body.

But now no one can convince anyone else, since only the screenwriter knows what will happen next.

Little Knowledge took the feather and prepared to leave.

Kevin called out to Little Knowledge and extended an invitation to her, but Little Knowledge declined. She remembered that Fu Hua had some kind of Tai Xu Sect in her memories, and she wanted to go back and take a look.

Before leaving, Little Knowledge specifically told Kevin.

"Oh, by the way, I should remind you: the person who sent me to see you was Otto Apocalypse."

Little Knowledge's last sentence revealed the truth to Kevin, making the audience burst into laughter. Although Little Knowledge was naive, she was not stupid and saw through Otto's "using one tiger to devour another".

"Hahaha, Otto still wants to fool me?! Overestimating yourself! Hahahahahaha!!!" Little Knowledge put his hands on his hips, looking proud.

Little Knowledge's smile is very healthy.

When Little Knowledge said, "Don't die before destroying the Honkai, old friends," everyone felt a surge of emotion and tears welled up in their eyes. Only a few warriors from the Previous Era remained. What were Kevin's feelings when he saw that Fu Hua's body had been taken over by the Herrscher?

After leaving, Little Knowledge discovered that the feather actually had a seal. After gathering the Honkai energy to break the seal, a figure familiar to the audience appeared from it.

It was Fu Hua in the form of Phoenix.

Now, however, his eyes are closed and he is unconscious, his figure is also illusory, as if he is about to be blown away by the wind at any moment, and he looks like he is about to run out of energy.

Little Knowledge frowned, grabbed Fu Hua's wrist, and her body trembled slightly, as if she had been frightened, but she quickly calmed down.

As Little Knowledge injected Honkai energy, Fu Hua's illusory figure finally became clear, and she opened her beautiful eyes.

"Okay, come back now."

Little Knowledge clapped his hands, opened his arms, and showed a bright smile, seemingly very happy.

"...Who are you?"

Fu Hua paused for a moment before asking.

"I am your master."

Little Knowledge sighed, thinking of herself as Fu Hua and the person in front of her as her clone. Seeing her clone turn out like this, she felt a little sad.

"I... am your clone?"

Fu Hua still looked a little confused, as if she had just been awakened and was still processing what the person in front of her was saying so confidently.

Little Knowledge explained everything that had happened to Fu Hua and asked her to hand over her memories and power to him.

However, Fu Hua remained unmoved, her eyes holding a deeper meaning, as if she understood something.

"I see. You were Otto back then...? He really loved doing unnecessary things."

What are you muttering to yourself?

"The instant I was killed by him—I activated the Zero Rated Power of Feather of the Wind, transferring my consciousness to a feather to suppress the existence of the Herrscher of the Void."

"Ah?... I think there is such a thing, but I remember it was something like..."

"That body was abandoned; it had no soul inside."

Fu Hua revealed the reality that Little Knowledge was unwilling to face or accept.

What are you trying to say?

The smile on Little Knowledge's face slowly disappeared.

"Since I'm here—"

Fu Hua repeated the question.

"Who are you?"]

What the audience most wanted to see was that Otto didn't ask, Kevin didn't ask, and in the end, Fu Hua lifted the veil. Little Knowledge always thought he was Fu Hua. What would he be like if he knew he was the Herrscher?

The contrast between being a warrior fighting against the Honkai and becoming an apostle of the Honkai is immense.

"Quick, quick, I want to see Little Knowledge and Hua! I haven't logged in for so long and I found out my account was hacked. Hua's little expression is so cute!" Pardo couldn't hold back any longer.

I want to see Little Knowledge learn about my identity, and I also want to see Fu Hua see "another version of myself in the world".

"Hua fought desperately against the Honkai, only to find out that the Honkai had stolen her body. Anyone would find that unbearable, right?" Elysia covered her mouth and chuckled.

Before the story of the Previous Era was revealed, the audience didn't have much of an opinion on whether or not Herrscher.

They even want their favorite characters to become Herrscher, because in their eyes, Herrscher is just an identity, an extra power to fight for humanity.

The Herrscher, who are set up as apocalyptic apostles, seem to be gradually disappearing.

Except for the Finality.

"Oh no, I've become a stand-in." Fu Hua blurted out instinctively.

"Old fogey, stop making jokes now, it's almost ready to be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site." Little Knowledge was speechless.

"I remember there's a famous Shenzhou novel that seems to have described a scene like this." Bronya thought for a moment before remembering, "Oh right, the Monkey King and the False Monkey King."

"Li Kui meets Li Gui?"

Theresa tilted her head.

Little Knowledge, who had just been proudly thinking he was the Monkey King, suddenly became indignant and shouted, "Theresa, who are you calling Li Kui?!"

Theresa stuck out her tongue.

No matter which girl you're talking to, she definitely wouldn't accept being called the real Li Kui, but Theresa's words seem to imply that Little Knowledge is the imposter.

"The squad leader was stunned at that moment."

Kiana smiled happily.

The stunned model really captured the expression, the bewilderment of Fu Hua after waking up and finding herself a substitute.

But Little Knowledge still believes he is Fu Hua.

"Will Little Knowledge end up like Seele?" Seele asked. She suddenly had an idea: Fu Hua and Little Knowledge, just like herself in the story, would have two consciousnesses existing in the same body.

"That's possible!"

"I don't want to either!" Little Knowledge protested. "I don't want to become like Sirin."

"???"

Suddenly caught off guard by Q, Sirin raised her head, looking completely bewildered. After a quick reaction, she exclaimed, "Fuhua Shishi, what are you saying? What did I do?!"

"Hmph, is the Kiana in the current storyline you or Kiana?"

Little Knowledge asked in return.

This immediately sparked a fight between Sirin and Kiana.

Fu Hua was helpless.

But she felt that as the older sister who had taken care of Little Knowledge for so many years, and in the story, she herself had lived for 50,000 years, so controlling a newly born little consciousness was not something that could be done easily.

After all, Little Knowledge is a child who does whatever comes to mind. As long as I coax her and go along with her, the human side will have another powerful fighting force. Just thinking about it is very exciting.

Fu Hua.

But she forgot that in the story, she had taught seven wayward disciples, and her terrible experience raising children raised suspicions.

Little Knowledge pulled Fu Hua and flew up to the clouds, admiring the beautiful scenery. The white clouds floated by, like a fairyland. While she was with Fu Hua, she tried to make Fu Hua accept that she was just a feather of Feather of the Wind.

Little Knowledge even went so far as to comfort Fu Hua.

"You can return the power to me after you've thought it through... Sigh, never mind, don't bother returning it. I'm not a petty person. I've already given away so many feathers, even Otto got one, why would I care about yours?"

Little Knowledge smiled and invited Fu Hua to accompany him back to Tai Xu Mountain.

Little Knowledge talked to Fu Hua and asked many questions, constantly using his scientific knowledge to inquire about Fu Hua. Fu Hua, however, pushed all the inexplicable things onto Feather of the Wind.

"What a convenient way to blame everything that doesn't make sense on Feather of the Wind! The screenwriter probably thought the same thing—if it doesn't make sense, it's Honkai energy!"

"Little Knowledge is quite gentle, unlike a queen."

If Sirin saw this comment, she'd probably explode.

"Little Knowledge Shi really... I'm so upset. Hua was so cold to her, but she still cared for and comforted him."

Even though Little Knowledge is now Feather of the Wind's alter ego, she still treats him like a sister, which deeply moved Pardo.

She even considered siding with Little Knowledge.

The real gems are yet to come.

The Hua of the Previous Era eradicated Feather of the Wind's feathers, while Little Knowledge treated what she considered to be her feather clones like sisters, creating a stark contrast that made the audience unable to help but side with Little Knowledge.

"I never imagined that I and the old antique would become sisters in the story like this," Little Knowledge exclaimed.

"Little Knowledge."

Kiana poked Little Knowledge.

"What's wrong?"

"You're worried that inside the class monitor's body, they don't seem like sisters, but rather like... mother and daughter based on this relationship."

Kiana said cautiously.

Little Knowledge's face darkened.

"Pfft." Fu Hua couldn't help but laugh out loud.
