Chapter 714

Strictly speaking, if Himeko hadn't been lucky enough to meet Alice, she would likely have died.

However, Himeko didn't care about these things. In a sense, she was actually quite grateful to Otto.

If he hadn't done all of this, Himeko might not have been able to encounter Shushan, obtain the opportunity to cultivate, or even resolve the Honkai so quickly and easily.

One could only say that every drink and every bite is destined by heaven.

"I didn't expect you to still be willing to call me teacher after remembering all your memories; I'm actually quite happy."

Himeko smiled and teased:

"However, once you cultivate, given your realm, I'd conservatively estimate you'll be at the early stage of Refining Spirit into Void."

"By then, you will be an Elder, and you won't be able to call me that anymore."

Feeling Himeko's as-always enthusiastic attitude, Fu Hua felt a little relieved.

She turned to look at the others, somewhat bewildered.

After pondering for a moment, she asked in confusion:

"So, we are no longer in the Honkai world, and the Honkai that could destroy the world has already been resolved?"

"Strictly speaking, the Honkai has not yet been resolved, and we are indeed not in the Honkai world right now."

Himeko explained with a smile:

"This is the Shushan world. Your current location is on Dragon Head Peak of the seven Shushan branches, inside my blessed land."

"The Shushan world is different from the Honkai world, which is attached to the Imaginary Tree; the Shushan world is an independent Great Thousand World."

"It is a world created by the Shushan Sect Leader. Of course, if you want to return to the Honkai world, as long as you have the disciple token, you can return anytime, anywhere~"

"Now, basically everyone you know has come to Shushan to cultivate."

The more Fu Hua heard, the more confused she became, but she clearly grasped one point.

She looked at Himeko and the others with some worry and said softly:

"In other words, the Honkai in the Honkai world has not been completely resolved, and everyone has basically come to the Shushan world to cultivate?"

"If I remember correctly, before I lost my memory, Kiana was still in Arc City, and she needed my help to control the Herrscher of the Void's authority."

"By doing so, she could resolve the World Serpent's bomb."

"At that time... the Sixth Herrscher hadn't even appeared yet."

Thinking of this, Fu Hua became even more nervous.

"If everyone is not in the Honkai world now, what should we do if something goes wrong there?"

Himeko smiled and said softly:

"Don't worry, I set up a formation in the Honkai world before I left."

"As long as the formation exists, there will be no Honkai disaster above the Knight-level in our world."

"If it weren't for the fact that there was no need to resolve the Honkai so quickly, I could have resolved it when I went back."

"Of course, it's not a problem now. Elder Kevin has reached the edge of breaking through to Refining Spirit into Void."

"Once he breaks through, resolving the Honkai will be a breeze."

"Just as I said before, the Honkai is no longer a problem we need to worry about."

Listening to Himeko's words, Fu Hua realized that she was ultimately a bit behind the times.

After a moment of silence, Kallen, who was to the side, said in a daze:

"So, our mission to fight the Honkai has ended?"

"Yes."

"……"

Kallen gave a bitter smile and gently covered her chest.

"Although my intuition tells me that I should be happy about resolving the Honkai, why do I... feel a bit empty?"

Kallen gave a self-deprecating smile.

"It seems the world never needed me."

After all, having been away from the world for five hundred years, the moment she opened her eyes, the whole world had changed.

The Honkai was gone, and everyone had started cultivating.

So, the reason she was resurrected wasn't to fight the Honkai?

Was it simply because they wanted her to be resurrected?

This was quite a blow to Kallen.

Plus, five hundred years had passed, there wasn't a single person she knew around her, and the living environment wasn't the Honkai world.

She had just had an argument with Otto...

Kallen was truly feeling a bit panicked now.

"It's okay, Grandmother Kallen, you still have me."

Theresa took Kallen's hand and said softly:

"The Honkai is gone, which is a good thing. Grandmother Kallen, you can pursue other dreams now."

"Besides, if you could be resurrected, why couldn't Yae Sakura be resurrected?"

Hearing this name, a glimmer of light appeared in Kallen's eyes.

"Sakura..."

In a trance, that pink, gentle figure appeared before Kallen again.

She remembered the days in Yae Village.

Suddenly, Kallen was full of strength again.

She and Yae Sakura still had many unfulfilled promises. Back then, because of the Honkai, she had to put these things aside.

Now...

She seemed to be able to pursue her own life.

"So, can Sakura only be resurrected through cultivation?"

Kallen looked at Theresa with anticipation, and the latter nodded.

"Strictly speaking, not only do you have to cultivate, but your realm must be high, and you must possess a technique for resurrecting people."

"In Shushan, the only two people who can do resurrection are Head Seat Zhongli, who is at Refining Spirit into Void, and the Sect Leader."

"However, I imagine Head Seat Zhongli's resurrection isn't very easy either."

"But for the Sect Leader, resurrecting someone is as simple as can be."

"The Sect Leader has mastered the legendary Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Arts. Grandmother Kallen, you were only resurrected as a reward from the Sect Leader because Grandfather offered some suggestions that contributed to Shushan."

This was the tenth time Kallen and Fu Hua had heard news about the Shushan Sect Leader.

They could hear the inexplicable confidence and awe in Theresa and the others' tone when they mentioned Jiang Yan.

They couldn't help but shift their attention to the real point.

"Tell me about Shushan, Theresa."

Kallen pursed her lips and smiled, saying softly:

"I've only heard you tell stories about the Honkai world before; I don't know much about the situation in Shushan."

"And... what exactly did Otto do to be allowed by the Sect Leader to resurrect me?"

Hearing this, Fu Hua also nodded in deep agreement.

"I also want to know what the difference is between so-called true cultivation and the immortal Dao as we know it..."

"This... that would require starting from a very, very grand perspective for you to understand."

Himeko thought for a moment, looking troubled.

If one really wanted to talk about Shushan, it would truly be boundless.

Cultivation was not something they could explain clearly right now.

After thinking it over repeatedly, Himeko said slowly:

"Miss Kallen, Fu Hua, have you heard of the mythology of Shenzhou?"

"I have read about that. After I was defeated by the Immortal Chiyuan in one move, I searched for a lot of information about Shenzhou's mythology at the Destiny headquarters to study."

Needless to say, Fu Hua was a person of Shenzhou in the previous civilization, and later, over the past fifty thousand years, she had an even deeper understanding of Shenzhou's mythology.

Himeko breathed a sigh of relief.

"That makes it easier."

After a pause, Himeko said faintly:

"Regarding Shushan, one should speak from top to bottom, from ancient times to the present."
