You asked for healing, but you wrote Honkai Impact 3rd?

Eden was being conservative—staying up all night was just the bare minimum.

Their resentment ran deep, and their mental states were rarely stable.

Su Nian's ghostly virus had already infected them, with early symptoms beginning to show.

"Switch the broadcast to contestant Su Nian's livestream. We'll leave the recorded commentary for all industry professionals to study together—what essential elements make a compelling story."

Otto found an excuse to have the backstage crew redirect the livestream to Su Nian's channel.

He couldn't wait any longer! Bring it on!

During their silence, Su Nian had already finished writing the setup.

Chapter 65, What Elysia Means to the Two-Dimensional World (4k)

Now, the two perspectives had arrived at...

The Paradise Archives, but also... the Nightmare Archives!

Or, to call it by another name, the Herrscher of Erosion's warehouse.

["For now, let's call it... the Paradise Archives. Isn't it a simple, easy-to-understand name? Just read the files stacked by the typewriter, and someone as clever as Mei will immediately understand."]

["The typewriter can use their memories to generate relatively objective archives. For the story ahead, Elysia wants to present it through archives—that way, it's fair and impartial."]

["Then... how does this thing work?"]

["Oh, that's where another friend comes in—alright, time for you to make your entrance!"]

["Ta-da! The Fairy Librarian of the Paradise Archives!"]

["Four Heavenly Kings have five members, but the Thirteen Flame-Chasers don't have fourteen."]

[A puppet bearing an uncanny resemblance to Elysia, Fairy Ai Li. Since Mei hasn't spoken the activation phrase yet, she remains in standby mode.]

["..." There's only one way to wake her... The truth is right before her eyes. Should she really let it slip away?]

Mei's second red-hot moment.

A high-energy iconic scene ahead.

["Say... say it..."]

["Hm? What did you say?"]

["Dear... Elysia..."]

["Oh my, what's the matter? I think... your voice was too soft. She probably didn't hear you, right?"]

["De-ar-est E--ly--si--a--!"]

What was Raiden Mei thinking of at that moment?

Was it the green bug far away... or her own long-lost dignity?

There's a saying in Shenzhou: introverts are extroverts' playthings. And in the story, Mei ran into a mischievous Elysia.

A poor lesbian toyed with by Elysia.

Elysia watched it all, a sly grin spreading across her face, just like the Elysia in the game.

It really was something she would do.

[The typewriter can retrieve all information stored in Paradise. Without interference, it automatically prints the most recent major events.]

[Regarding Elysia's past, the typewriter prints out events related to her that would be more valuable to Mei.]

[What exactly gets printed—even Elysia herself doesn't know until she sees it.]

The text appeared, and the smile on Elysia's face turned a little less pleasant...

["Good morning! A new day starts with a wonderful encounter! Remember to weigh yourself first thing after getting up~"]

["Mmm~~ A new day, new beauty. Go for it, Elysia!"]

["Get up, get up. Weigh myself before getting dressed... okay, delete the record!"]

Was this something that could be broadcast?

How could it just expose a girl's private life like this!

Elysia cared a lot about her weight.

A flawless, beautiful girl had standards for herself in every aspect.

Su Nian had written about her deleting the weight record, making everyone realize the implication behind it.

"Elysia, you've gained weight." Mobius's devilish whisper still echoed in Elysia's ears.

Even though Elysia firmly believed she was flawless, and having others know a little about this shouldn't be a big... deal?!

[Caring about weight suddenly feels so cute—is this the appeal?!]

[So how much does Elysia weigh? The host Elysia doesn't look fat either...]

[The host's online account is [Miss Pink Fairy]. Before becoming a host, she was a freelance online worker.]

[On her profile page, it says about 55 kg, 110 pounds.]

[Didn't you read the main page? No rounding up, you fake fan! It's 54.8KG!]

[Elysia is really beautiful, isn't she? Flesh where it's needed, a healthy kind of beauty!]

Indeed, to be fair, Elysia's appearance... it's simply flawless!

A small face, slender limbs, no excess fat at the waist; plump where it should be plump, slender where it should be slender. Elysia seems to precisely control every bit of flesh on her body, making it appear exactly where it should...

Although Elysia, because she cares about her weight and looks a bit softer in comparison to Mei, earned the nickname "Pink Fatty."

That nickname is just a teasing term born from affection.

The comments were all praising Elysia.

Such naughty people. Even a beautiful girl needs a little privacy of her own.

Showing it all to everyone like this—even if she's such a flawless girl, she'd still get shy.

The main content of this segment is... Elysia's first meeting with Kevin.

The Elysia in the story showed the audience a completely different side of her.

Greeting everyone warmly, whether she knew them or not.

Filling out survey forms with very simple answers.

Curious about Kevin, so she wore a maid outfit to the banquet, naturally slipping into the role of a maid...

Liking pretty girls but not disturbing them rashly, quietly keeping it in her heart...

In every aspect, Elysia's adorable actions were brought to life—this was the process of fleshing out her character.

This kind of event planning...

A natural way of getting acquainted, some cute and attention-grabbing little details...

A free-spirited style of doing things.

Eden understood—this was exactly what Elysia was like.

Could it be that her understanding of Elysia was no less than Eden's own?

Perfect! Absolutely perfect!

Even Eden herself couldn't write something Elysia had never done while perfectly matching her character.

She would remember everything about Elysia, but she could never become Elysia.

If Eden didn't know that Elysia didn't know Su Nian, she would have suspected the two had been privately acquainted for a long time.

Elysia wouldn't lie to her either.

Elysia would never hide anything from her; on the contrary, if she were truly in love, she would come to Eden to talk about little emotional girl things.

Originally, Eden thought... the only person who could understand Elysia better than her, the number one Elysia fan, was Elysia herself.

Now, in between, there was Su Nian, who understood Elysia even better than Eden.

A little frustrating... Eden's golden eyes dimmed slightly.

It felt like losing a contest of devotion... How did Su Nian know so much?

The mystery surrounding him had never been unraveled from the start.

She would have to wait until Su Nian went out and ask him privately.

["That man in your memory just now seemed to vaguely hint at your origins?"]

["Ah... that's a part of my past I'm not too clear about myself. After all, I was just a little girl back then."]

["It's not that I don't miss home, but I was really young then. The only thing I still remember is probably the Moth of the Fire taking me away."]

["Of course, I wasn't the only one. The Moth of the Fire took away many people from the town. They seemed to want to investigate something, but found nothing in the end. It was finally classified as a... misunderstanding."]

["A bit disappointing. I was hoping my origins would have some secret even I didn't know."]

...A trap! Definitely a trap!

Whether it's a foreshadowing or a trap doesn't matter anymore.

By now, the audience had gotten used to Su Nian's writing habits.

They had also seen through his tricks and his nature.

Every author has their own habits when writing. The Past's Paradise was like this—Su Nian loved to dig holes in places full of riddles.

This unclear situation was definitely a huge pit! Because they already knew most of Elysia's story from that point on.

The trap here was obvious—they wouldn't fall for it so easily!

But before they could react further, Su Nian immediately switched perspectives.

An ensemble cast—the judges' initial guess was correct.

The Past's Paradise was divided into several parts.

Eden's chapter, Elysia's chapter, Kevin's chapter, Griseo's chapter...

Under Su Nian's pen, they left behind one puzzling piece of information after another.

The various Flame-Chasers reacted differently to the opening of The Past's Paradise, and most of the information left behind was related to Elysia.

They were shaping the Flame-Chasers who appeared, but the Elysia mentioned in their words was the most crucial figure.

"Su Nian is now fully shaping Elysia. When she wrote about Mei accepting Elysia's trial earlier, she already crafted Elysia's character quite brilliantly..."

"And still not satisfied yet? Like a living, breathing..." Otto looked at Elysia standing beside him—living, breathing...

That wasn't quite the right way to put it, but they all knew what Otto meant.

The Past's Paradise had always been shaping Elysia.

Eternal Paradise was still shaping Elysia.

It was precisely because of this extensive shaping that Elysia's subsequent brilliance came to be.

And it was precisely this character, Elysia—so outstanding she was nearly perfect—that could once again lead Honkai Impact 3rd to achieve so much.

A character that, when Honkai Impact 3rd had become an old game whose value had been fully milked, led it to a miracle of both commercial and critical success.

A legend that helped a six-year-old relic surpass its peak.

A character that gave concrete form to abstract concepts like love and beauty.

It could be considered a work of anime and manga that brushed against the threshold of art.

It paved the way for those who came after, setting a benchmark.

The first truly flawless person—perfection does not exist, that was supposed to be a consensus.

Gold cannot be pure, and no man is perfect.

Dialectical materialism tells us that things have multiple facets; the Venus de Milo became a classic because of her missing arms.

Even some classic characters in anime and manga mostly had flaws.

The view that a perfect person could not exist was first broken in the world of anime and manga.
