Kosma: "So Pure-Hearted It's Stupid."
"Don't worry, I'll notice if anyone comes first."
Feeling the tightness of the legs that were gripping his hands tightly, Gwen chuckled softly and lowered his head to touch that cherry-red spot...
Two days later, Gwen, along with Kiana, Mei, Anna, Himeko, Wendy, and Fu Hua, left Destiny Headquarters and arrived at a base of World Serpent.
"This place... seems to be quite old..."
Looking around the empty hall behind the heavy stone door, where only a throne stood high above, Anna's pink eyes revealed a look of confusion.
But what happened to the training ground that was supposed to help them quickly master their own powers?
"It looks just like a ruined throne from a movie..."
Wendy gazed at the lonely throne high above and echoed Anna's words.
"Judging from the details, it seems to be in the style of more than two thousand years ago..."
Himeko examined every nook and cranny, trying to give a professional answer.
"I remember you weren't a history major, Himeko?"
Upon hearing Himeko's words, Gwen turned to look at her.
After being dragged into drinking with Himeko twice, the two, who were originally just acquaintances, have become quite familiar with each other.
"I know a little bit."
Himeko smiled and brushed it off, then asked about the important matter—
"Speaking of which, Gwen, where is the place you're talking about?"
"We can't just stand here and watch this throne, can we?"
"Of course not, this way."
After rolling her eyes at him and getting to know him better, Gwen, Himeko seemed to be revealing her true nature, led the group to the passageway at the edge of the hall—
"Next we will enter this passage, which is very long, but don't worry, just keep walking."
"..."
Listening to Gwen's words, Little Reason, who was following at the back of the group and looking around thoughtfully, suddenly realized something after a moment.
"Gwen, you don't mean for us to go to the Elysian Realm, do you?"
"That's right, we're about to see an old friend. Is there anything you'd like to say?"
Gwen chuckled and met those red eyes.
"That's too much..."
Upon hearing this, Little Reason immediately put her hands on her hips, revealing a smug look—
"I'm really looking forward to them seeing what I look like now."
"Then let's go..."
Gwen smiled and nodded, then stepped into the dark passageway ahead.
"Fu Hua, what is the Elysian Realm..."
Before Little Reason, Anna, somewhat puzzled as to why Fu Hua and Gwen had exchanged signals, cautiously asked.
"The Elysian Realm, as the name suggests..."
Upon hearing Anna's question, Little Reason didn't keep them in suspense and prepared to explain it to the group.
But before she could unfold it, Gwen interrupted her—
"Let's leave this question for everyone to explore on their own."
After all, having the answer beforehand can influence one's judgment.
"That's true."
Upon Little Reason slapped her forehead—
"This place is quite complicated."
You should be able to learn a lot from this; knowing the answers beforehand reduces the rewards of exploration.
Although she has the temperament of a child, with a vast amount of Remembrance in her mind and Fu Hua by her side, Little Reason also wants to show the mature and steady demeanor that the Scarlet Mandarin Immortal should have.
The group walked for a long time in the dark passageway.
Even though they could hear each other's footsteps, the pitch-black environment still stirred up some inexplicable emotions in everyone.
Just then, another step was taken, and suddenly the lights in front of everyone's eyes shone brightly, causing them to subconsciously squint.

Chapter 449 Chrono: Clarity to Foolishness.
After observing for a moment, the girls, their eyes adjusting to the light, couldn't help but widen their gazes again—
What lay before them was not the Schicksal, high-tech virtual training room they had imagined, but a magnificent yet tasteful hall that possessed an artistic beauty.
Before the girls could take a closer look, their attention was drawn to a drunken voice—
"You've come, my friend?"
Following the sound, the girls saw a red-haired beauty in a dark red dress on a sofa near the wine cabinet. The dress did not give off a glamorous feeling; instead, the red dress and her beautiful face complemented each other perfectly as she raised a wine glass in their direction.
"So beautiful..."
Although Eden was drunk, she didn't give the impression of an alcoholic; instead, people remembered her dazzling, golden charm even more clearly.
"Sister Eden, you're drunk again..."
Upon seeing the drunken Eden, Gwen said with some helplessness, stepped forward, took the wine glass from Eden's hand, and helped Eden sit down.
"The wine you brought last time... was so sweet that I could hardly resist the urge..."
Like a child, Eden was gently placed down by Gwen, and he did not resist. He just talked drunkenly, his hazy golden eyes fixed on Gwen.
"I see..."
Upon hearing this, Gwen suddenly understood—
In his Remembrance, Eden had once used information extracted from Raven to make drinks, becoming almost completely addicted to them; now he was simply targeting him instead.
Because of concerns that synchronizing Remembrance with incomplete souls would have adverse effects, Gwen did not allow Eden to synchronize his Remembrance with the Remembrance entities. Therefore, the Remembrance entities here can only learn about the new civilization in their own way.
"Take a good rest first. If you like, I can bring you a Venusian or even a Martian later so you can appreciate the scenery of an alien planet."
"It's a deal."
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Eden's eyes, who had just been drunk.
"It's a deal."
Seeing this, Gwen chuckled and made an agreement with Eden on the matter.
For him now, it's not impossible to move the Martian system over.
It's unclear whether bringing over that so-called Quantum Computer before the Honkai has been resolved will have any negative impact.
"Hey, Jie-ge, you've been waiting here on purpose, haven't you?"
After settling Eden in, Gwen looked out at the control room behind him, where Chrono was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
"I just came to see what kind of goods you're bringing."
Gwen's greeting caused the eyes beneath the Chrono Mask to narrow slightly as he looked at the crowd at the entrance—
"They turned out to be just a bunch of cubs that haven't even grown all their teeth yet... Humph!"
"I'm going to get angry if you say that."
Hearing Chrono's description, Gwen wasn't annoyed, but his smile became more sinister as he twisted his wrist—
After reaching an agreement with Aponia last time, Gwen made another trip to the Elysian Realm and had friendly conversations with Flame-Chasers he could find.
For Chrono, after a brutal, one-on-one battle, Gwen successfully earned the right to let Chrono speak properly.
"Tch, whatever. I'm ready to fight you anytime you want."
Despite Gwen's "threat," Chrono remained defiant.
"Their eyes, so clear they were almost foolish, made me want to vomit!"
Faced with Chrono's undisguised malice, Himeko instinctively took two steps forward, shielding the others—
It's too early to subject these young girls to this kind of malice.
"Oh...
Oh...
That's interesting...
Meeting Himeko's gaze, Chrono's tone suddenly became much friendlier, but that gaze gave Chrono a very unfamiliar feeling.
However, before Chrono could ask a question, a dissatisfied voice came from behind Himeko, attracting Chrono's attention—
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"
"Chrono, can't you speak properly?"
Little Reason stood with her left hand on her hip and her right hand holding a black longsword with red patterns, glaring at Chrono with a displeased expression.
"Who are you..."
Upon suddenly seeing the Little Reason appear, Chrono was taken aback.
Hua's face—he was very familiar with it, having seen it almost every day for tens of thousands of years.
But those eyes...
"Who are you?"
Why does Hua have another person's eyes on his body?
This question instantly triggered Chrono.
"Nonsense, of course I am me!"
Facing Chrono's gaze, which seemed to erupt like a volcano, Little Reason remained fearless, standing tall and meeting his eyes Chrono -on.
"You are not her..."
Chrono straightened up, lowered his arms that were clasped in front of him, and clenched his fists tightly.
"You bastard..."
A nameless rage rose within her, Little Reason prepared to use her fists to have a proper exchange with this hot-tempered guy, to make him realize who she was now.
Before Treasure of Knowledge could even raise the sword in his hand, he was persuaded by Fu Hua, who was also inside his body.
"Tch~"
Under the persuasion of the old-fashioned Fu Hua, Little Reason temporarily abandoned her plan for a full-blown fight and closed her eyes.
The next moment, his azure eyes, as vast as the sky, opened, meeting Chrono's gaze, causing the aura surging within him to freeze instantly—
"It's been a long time, Chrono."
Looking at the irritable figure that was exactly the same as she remembered, Fu Hua couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion, and her tone became more nostalgic.
What exactly is wrong with you?
With just one glance, he recognized Hua as someone he knew. Chrono slowly suppressed his aura and frowned as he asked.
"The situation is complicated; I can't even explain it clearly myself..."
Upon hearing this question, Fu Hua gave a helpless, wry smile—
Or rather, she could explain it clearly, but she couldn't say it directly; she could only comfort the child.
"Can I take a look?"
Eden, who had opened his eyes at some point, looked at Fu Hua, who was familiar yet not so familiar, and asked softly.
"Certainly."
Fu Hua naturally had absolute trust in Eden.
