Chapter 251

Undeterred, the Herrscher of Corruption asked, "Could I see what the painting looks like? Just one glance is enough."

Hua shook his head, refusing, "It's too late. You've already destroyed that painting yourself."

"I know."

The Herrscher of Corruption understood that in her extreme anger just now, she had adopted a posture completely unlike Elysia's, bringing destruction to everything around her, let alone a painting.

She's just unwilling to give up on it.

"Then, could you describe it to me, Hua? I'm just a little curious."

The Herrscher of Corruption couldn't understand how someone could so easily give up their precious life; how could there be such a fool in the world?

The 407th Herrscher of Corruption actually escaped.

Faced with the Herrscher of Corruption's request, Hua did not refuse. Recalling Griseo's final painting, she fell into deep thought.

The painting was not exquisite, nor did it have vibrant colors. The artwork, composed of black and gray, had countless intersecting lines, as if it were just a child's random scribbles.

Hua couldn't explain the meaning of the painting, but she remembered that Cosmo had once explained the significance of the Morning Light to Griseo.

The so-called Morning Light is the light emitted by the star closest to Earth. It arrives too early to illuminate anything.

But when people see him, it means that countless stars will light up the night sky, sooner or later.

After the first Morning Light of dawn, the Stars will surely follow.

Recalling this, Hua couldn't help but shake his head. "I'm sorry, describing that painting in words is beyond my ability."

"Moreover, I'm afraid you're not the kind of observer Griseo is looking for."

Hua's attitude was resolute; he was determined to die from the very beginning.

Seeing this, the Herrscher of Corruption could only sigh helplessly and offer words of comfort after calming down.

"Hua, you must understand how I felt when I deleted Cosmo, right? Sending a comrade to his death with your own hands is not a pleasant feeling, is it?"

This is not sadness.

Hua clenched his fists, squatted down, and assumed a fighting stance.

"It is a mission I must give them, and now it is my turn to fulfill my own mission."

The Herrscher of Corruption did not respond to Hua; hordes of monsters surged towards her, obscuring her vision.

Meanwhile, the Herrscher of Corruption seized the opportunity to rush towards Raiden Mei's location.

The painting Griseo created, having lost its master's power, was easily breached by the Herrscher of Corruption, and the figure gradually disappeared from Hua's sight.

Pardofelis: "The Herrscher of Corruption, she actually escaped?"

It's rare to see Herrscher of Corruption become so powerful after corrupting Elysia. She acts like she's the boss of the world, completely disregarding everyone else.

It's quite a surprise to see her in such a disheveled state now.

Sue: "Cosmo and Griseo have already delayed her for far too long. The threat posed by Anti-Kevin Armament Model 666 is indeed not something she can ignore."

Vill-V: "Hehe, what do you guys think? When I'm designing Previous Era Elysian Realm, should I make a few extra Anti-Kevin Armament Model 666 as backups? Sounds like fun."

The function to delete the Previous Era Elysian Realm with one click.

Although it sounds impressive in the Previous Era Elysian Realm, for Vill-V, it was simply a habitual contingency plan she kept in mind when designing projects.

I never expected it to play such a significant role.

So, if she's just being idle and has nothing better to do, why not leave a few more backup plans for the Previous Era Elysian Realm?

Raiden Mei: "Please don't dream of the Previous Era Elysian Realm; one of those is enough."

Ultimately, they still couldn't understand what kind of feelings Vill-V was in when she created this prop that led everyone to a happy ending.

Vill-V: "Oh, that's a real shame."

Elysia: "Give up, Vill-V. Even if you wanted to design a new Previous Era Elysian Realm, Eden wouldn't approve the funding."

Vill-V: "Why?!"

Upon hearing about the funding issue, Vill-V panicked immediately.

She wondered why she was being restricted in her budget when she hadn't done anything particularly heinous.

Could it be that her plan to build a magic theater in outer space has been exposed?!

Eden: "Because this time, we won't repeat the same mistakes, right, Elysia?"

Elysia: "Mmm, you truly are my dear Eden, you understand me so well."

Overwhelmed with excitement, Elysia darted forward and pressed herself against Eden, completely disregarding the stares of those around them.

Vill-V, standing to the side, breathed a sigh of relief. As long as her grand plan wasn't exposed, everything was fine.

[In the scene, the Herrscher of Corruption left behind a large number of monsters to restrain Hua, while she rushed towards Raiden Mei's direction.]

Hua easily defeated the monster, her gaze fixed on the direction the Herrscher of Corruption had left. "Even if it's just a battle, the Herrscher of Corruption isn't willing to delay any longer?"

Now that she knew Sue's plan could indeed pose a threat to the Herrscher of Corruption, she had to buy as much time as possible, no matter what.

Hua rushed towards the direction of the Herrscher of Corruption, easily passing over the monsters' heads, and caught up with her using the speed of Fusion Warrior.

That's enough!

Hua descended from the sky, crouched down, and slammed his fist into the ground, creating cracks that blocked the path of the Herrscher of Corruption.

Hua slowly stood up, her eyes meeting those of the Herrscher of Corruption, and a powerful aura erupted from her body.

"Is it really necessary? Hua, I thought you understood my intentions."

The Herrscher of Corruption shrugged and said helplessly.

Hua countered, "You mean you want those monsters to buy you time?"

They cannot be called monsters.

The Herrscher of Corruption, feigning anger, said, "Honestly, I'll only forgive you this once, Hua. If I called your companions that too, you wouldn't be happy either, would you?"

"I've gotten a bit off-topic, Hua. The reason I chose to leave is for your own good."

Fu Hua didn't deny it verbally, but the attitude on her face said it all.

"Aren't you willing to admit it, Hua? Have you ever considered that there seems to be nothing you've ever truly wanted to do?"

The Herrscher of Corruption read through Hua's past, beginning to unravel the mystery bit by bit.

Whether it's protecting humanity or fighting against the Honkai, these are missions imposed on China by others.

Like a boulder rolling down a hillside, seemingly free, yet already swept along by fate.

The Herrscher of Reason: "Hmm, although I really dislike that Herrscher of Corruption, there's one thing I think she's right about. Old Timer, you've never thought about yourself!"

Himeko Murata: "Little Senti, don't say that about Fu Hua. She's already done her best."

Fu Hua: "Teacher Himeko, there's no need to make excuses for me. At least there are many things I can't say I have a clear conscience about."

The five thousand years of experience of the Immortal Crimson Bird, including his time as Flame-Chasers in the Previous Era, were filled with regret and remorse from beginning to end.

She failed to save Captain Himiko, or even make the right decision, until Kevin's ice pierced her.

She failed to completely kill the Herrscher of Corruption, which allowed it to gain control of nuclear weapons and destroy humanity's last home.

She failed to protect her friends; in order to carry out their so-called mission, Danzhu and Cang Xuan lost their lives in the Land of Jiuyou.

Even the students she taught became a source of unpleasant sorrow.

As for Cheng Lixue, Fu Hua felt ashamed of her calling her "master".

All that regret, all that led her to make so many mistakes, ultimately boils down to nothing more than a sense of mission.

Little Senti Shi is right; the former Immortal Crimson Bird truly never considered his own interests.

Fu Hua was reflecting on when exactly she had unknowingly become entangled in this mission.

Chapter 408 Immortals Are Not Stubborn Old Men

The Herrscher of Reason: "Only profound regret can bring about a transformative growth! Old Timer, let them see what a true Chi Yuan Immortal is like..."

--Bang.

Before Little Senti could finish speaking, she was punched hard on the head. Just as she was about to retaliate, she turned around and saw Fu Hua staring at her with a serious expression.

The Herrscher of Reason: "Damn it! Old Timer, I was clearly trying to comfort you, why did you hit me?"

Little Senti touched his head.

Fortunately, she also Immortal Body, and a complete Immortal Body at that; otherwise, if anyone else had been struck like that by the Old Timer, they would have gotten a huge bump.

Fu Hua: "How can you comfort me like that?"

Sigh, is it really a matter of inadequate parenting?

Fu Hua admits that her life is a complete failure and that she needs to change her mindset, but seeing the Herrscher of Reason in this state, Fu Hua is truly unable to muster any anger.

I wonder who he learned it from!

The Herrscher of Reason: "Huh? Did I say something wrong? It's clearly you, you Old Timer, who doesn't know how to adapt, like a Blockhead."

The Herrscher of Reason, "That Kindling Project was over a long time ago. Danzhu and Cang Xuan have said it many times, but you Old Timer just won't give up. You're so stubborn, you can't be pulled back even by a donkey."

Little Xuan: "Yeah, the immortal is definitely Blockhead."

Danzhu: "Agreed."

Cang Xuan: "Blockhead."

Fu Hua: "Little Xuan, Danzhu, Cang Xuan, how come even you... sigh."

The Immortal Crimson Bird knew the problem.

So what if the food at Mount Tai Xu was bad before, and you guys ate "Spring No Old" for a while? Is that really necessary?

She's been eating it for five thousand years and hasn't felt any problems.

Fu Hua: "Could it really be my problem?"

The Immortal Crimson Bird is currently reflecting...

No, even if there is a problem, it's not her problem, it's [Divine Tone's ] problem. Fu Hua would never admit that she is an inflexible old stubborn.

Himeko Murata: "Fu Hua, don't overthink it. Life doesn't necessarily have to have a specific meaning. Just be happy and do what you believe is right."

Fu Hua: "Teacher Himeko, it's quite a surprise to hear you say that."

Normally, Teacher Himeko always tells her students to behave themselves, avoid doing dangerous things, and obey the organization's arrangements.

With her, however, one can do whatever one wants.

Himeko Murata: "Fu Hua, your experience far surpasses mine. Forget about grand theories."

Many times, and in many things, it's best not to be too logical.

Theresa: "Oh right, Fu Hua is Flame-Chasers. How about I make you a teacher at the St. Freya Academy? Don't worry, it won't change your position as class monitor."

In this way, she could have Flame-Chasers work for her without paying him a wage.

This is a perfect example of killing two birds with one stone; the headmaster's plan is brilliantly executed.

Fu Hua: "Forget it. Whether it's Flame-Chasers or Hua, they should all disappear with the end of the Previous Era. I'm just a student girl now."

The Immortal Crimson Bird reiterated her age and then gave a friendly look around, unwilling to hear a single word of dissent.

Seeing that everyone agreed with silence, Fu Hua finally turned her attention back to the screen with satisfaction.

In the scene, the Herrscher of Corruption is analyzing Hua's life, saying that her life is meaningless and that she is just drifting along with the tide under the influence of her mission.

"This viewpoint is unconvincing from your perspective, Herrscher of Corruption."

Hua shook his head and stared at the Herrscher of Corruption.

"To wander in the world without knowing the meaning, and to erode everything without knowing the meaning, I see no difference."

"Hmph, I think so myself."

The Herrscher of Corruption nodded, then changed the subject. "However, you seem to have forgotten something."
