Next Stop... the Xianzhou!

Just as I suspected.

Jana was delighted to hear that she could help.

I just don't know if Jana's smile will disappear after I finish speaking.

"It's something very, very important, and only Jana can help me."

Is it very, very important?

Jana blinked, her eyes shining brighter. "Don't worry about it, Kiana. Whatever Kiana wants me to do, I will do it."

"This area has been included in my Honkai zone, right?"

"Yes."

Is it a change of heart, a decision to completely assimilate this world into a Honkai one?

Jana thought to herself.

"So this is my territory now?"

"Certainly!"

"I need to leave for a while. I hope Jana can help me guard Belobog and keep an eye on the Antimatter Legion in the wild that could resurrect at any time."

Kiana rattled off her request in one breath, then looked at Jana expectantly. "Is it okay?"

"... Kiana is leaving?"

Jana froze, and she didn't immediately agree, so this scene seemed familiar.

Kiana said she had to leave when they last met, and that she would come back to find her once she was done.

It's the same now. She saw Kiana again yesterday, but Kiana said she was leaving again soon and wanted her to stay here and watch over her.

"Yes, I have other things to take care of. But Belobog's situation is not good. Those Antimatter Legion could resurface at any time, bringing new disasters to this world. So I need you to help me stay here and guard this place, because only you can contact me at any time and have the ability to keep watch for me."

Kiana spoke with utmost sincerity.

She wasn't wrong; the only person she could use was Jana.

"The humans who guard... this planet?"

"Right!"

Kiana's face lit up with joy, and she nodded repeatedly. "I plan to let the Honkai grow naturally and slowly collect data on the process. We can't let the enemy interfere with this process and turn my territory into ruins."

In order to help Jana better understand and to make her keep Belobog in mind, Kiana could only use such words to deepen Jana's impression.

Jana remained silent for a while. She was determined to agree; helping Kiana was her mission, Kiana needed her help now.

On the other hand, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful; if she could, she would rather stay with Kiana forever.

Ultimately, reason prevailed.

She nodded, somewhat dejectedly, "I understand."

Chapter 131 The next stop is... the Xianzhou!

Isn't it just about guarding this place?

It doesn't matter.

She can wait.

"I won't be away for long."

"It's alright. As long as it's about Kiana, I'm willing to wait no matter how long it takes."

Hearing Jana's sincere words, Kiana felt guilty and ashamed, and touched her head, thinking to herself that this must be the last time.

"Um, this is my cell phone. Under normal circumstances, you can contact me using your cell phone."

Kiana took out the spare machine she had bought earlier from her storage space and handed it to Jana.

"Do you know how to use it?"

Jana thought for a moment, then shook her head. "No."

"Then I'll teach you. You can message me if you're bored."

Kiana continued teaching, "If anything unusual happens, you can tell me. This place can't withstand much disruption. If those Void Trotter revive, remember to tell me immediately, and I'll come right away..."

After talking for a while, Kiana finally got up after handing over the basic functions of her phone to Jana.

"Come on, I'll take you for a walk outside and show you those Void Trotter who haven't recovered yet."

Without hesitation, Kiana grabbed Jana and left, dumping all the tasks she needed to tell Jana on her.

It was explained in great detail.

She believed Jana should remember this.

It doesn't matter if I don't remember, I have a cell phone and can contact her anytime.

She doesn't go to those special places, so the signal shouldn't be a problem.

I stayed in Belobog for a few more days.

After everything was mostly settled, Kiana and Yomi left the Jarilo star system together.

"This is quite a problem..."

As the shooting star disappeared, a man stood on the snowfield, watching the vanished meteor with a wry smile.

It was already foreseeable.

The trouble this planet is about to face.

[Ruan Mei: You left Jarilo?]

Shortly after leaving, Kiana received a text message from Ruan Mei, Kiana was somewhat surprised when she saw the content of the message.

[Kiana: ARuan, how did you know?]

[Ruan Mei: Positioning]

Position?

By the way, ARuan did mention that she had a tracking system installed on her body.

"Are you talking to Ruan Mei?"

Yomi could tell who she was chatting with just by looking at her expression when she replied to the message, but she had already accepted it and didn't have any other feelings about it.

"Yes, ARuan asked us where we were going."

[Kiana: Isn't the Belobog affair over? I'll have Jana guard those Void Trotter for me.]

[Kiana: As for me, I'm planning to go back Izumo the Ark in Izumo with Mei to take a look, and also to see Sirin.]

[Ruan Mei: I understand]

"Shall we go check out the Herta Space Station?"

Yomi suggested this to Kiana.

Shall we go find ARuan now?

Kiana looked up in surprise, then blinked when her eyes met Yomi's purple ones.

"Let's go see Sirin first."

She did miss Ruan Mei somewhat, but Ruan Mei didn't have time to think about her right now, and going over there might even bother her and Herta.

She'd better wait until the Simulated Universe phase is over before she goes to have a proper talk with Ruan Mei.

[Kiana: Let me know when you're done with this busy period, and I'll come find you at the space station.]

[Ruan Mei: Hmm]

The conversation ended there. Kiana put away her phone and looked at Yomi again. "Aren't we close to the place Sirin mentioned?"

Having the strength of Emanator- level being allows one to cross interstellar barriers and travel through space without relying on star orbits.

Kiana and Yomi are both beings capable of traversing worlds and engaging in interstellar travel.

"It shouldn't be too far."

Yomi could only give a general answer to this question. Her sense of direction was still so poor that she would likely get lost in space if she traveled alone.

Did Sirin say where the Ark is going next?

Kiana chatted curiously with Yomi, "I completely forgot to ask Sirin about this."

"It seems to be... the Luofu Xianzhou."

Yomi thought for a while before remembering the message Sirin had sent him a couple of days ago.

The Ark's next stop is the Luofu Xianzhou in the Xianzhou Alliance. It seems that Sirin is saying she wants to try trading with the Xianzhou.

"Where?"

Kiana suddenly looked up, her face filled with utter disbelief as she spoke.

"If I remember correctly, it's the Luofu Xianzhou."

Yomi remembered that he still had a mission to find the Sea Patrol Knight, the Luofu Xianzhou... Where could he find clues about the Knight?

"Is Ark's next stop Luofu?"

Why is this so unexpected?

"That's Xianzhou."

Kiana can't say that in the game, Belobog's next stop is the Luofu Xianzhou.

"I've dealt with the Cloud Knights of Yaoging Xianzhou before, but I was in a hurry at the time, so I didn't have time to visit Yaoqing."

She spoke shyly, recalling the Yaoqing Foxfolk General she had met on that battlefield, and the squinty-eyed Foxfolk healer beside her.

"I never expected that Yaoqing couldn't go, and now he's going to Luofu."

Kiana remarked with emotion.

Meanwhile, the Ark.

The Heavenly Blade provides the boost and energy for the jump, which is one of the reasons why the Ark can travel quickly and safely through the universe.

"The materials are all ready, but Sirin, will the Engineering Department of Luofu really engage in technical exchanges with us?"

A head taller than Sirin, the woman had a curvaceous figure, her silver-gray hair tied in a ponytail, and a rather aloof expression.

She frowned, holding a report, her fingertips tapping lightly on the table, seemingly not holding much hope.

"Whether it works or not, we should at least give it a try."

Sirin seems more mature than I've seen her recently; I wonder what she's been busy with lately.

"... Without support from other sources, even if we acquire the technology, it would probably take us ten or twenty years to complete the prototype, given what we have."

"Funds... tsk, that damned Welt."

Sirin's composure crumbled when she thought of an old friend, and she frowned as she began to belittle her former comrades again. "If that guy had left the True Blade on the Ark, at least half of our problems would have been solved!"

"Even if it's left here, no one would use it, right?"

The woman sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. She really couldn't understand how Sirin could hold a grudge for so long and not forget it.

Could it be that he's developed a habit of cursing?

"Why not? I think you're no worse than him, Bronya. Your compatibility with the True Blade is definitely higher than that guy's!"

"Let's stop with the empty talk and deal with these immediate problems first."

Bronya flipped through the paper report, thought for a moment, and said, "You said before that Raiden Mei was going back to the Ark, right?"

Bronya, Blade of Life 'Seele sister, left Izumo with the Ark before the Great Honkai and the collision of the Void.

She left the Ark with Seele two years ago, and only recently Ark because Sirin stopped giving up and proposed a new plan.
