Chapter 627
Kiana, Raiden Mei, and Bronya fought Kevin, crossing the Finality.
Kevin realized his dream and fulfilled his promise.
No matter the cost, humanity would definitely defeat the Honkai.
Raiden Mei transformed into the Herrscher of Origin, and Bronya became the Herrscher of Truth.
And Kiana...
Became the Finality who fought for humanity!
From then on, the screen dissipated.
Himeko was already sobbing, and along with her, Yae Miko and Ganyu had also hidden away to quietly eat noodles.
The Honkai world was a beautiful story full of tragedy.
This beauty was realized by those shining heroes who gave their lives.
Jiang Yan did not interrupt Himeko; she needed to vent right now.
Himeko knelt on the ground, tears sliding down drop by drop, but her smile was unprecedentedly relieved.
"Kiana, Raiden Mei, Bronya..."
"You've all grown up, I've always believed..."
"You will surpass everyone... and become the world's final heroes!"
If she could, Himeko would have liked to appear by Kiana's side at every critical moment.
And at that final moment, stand in front of her and say one thing.
She really loved Kiana...
Not knowing how much time had passed, Himeko looked up, wiped her already red and swollen eyes, and looked steadily at Jiang Yan.
The latter said slowly:
"It's a very tragic, but perfect story, isn't it?"
"Yes!"
Himeko smiled with relief.
"That's why I was willing to give my life to protect them."
No one could understand the joy of seeing Kiana and the others cross the Finality better than Himeko.
Her own students had become heroes she had to look up to.
Himeko died without regrets.
Jiang Yan smiled and said softly:
"You've worked hard."
Himeko shook her head, regained some sanity, and looked at Jiang Yan.
"Thank you, Sect Master, for letting me see the future of that world; even if I can't go back, I am satisfied."
"Kiana and the others have already grown up and no longer need me."
Saying this, Himeko felt no loss in her heart; she wished everyone knew that Kiana and the others were her students.
"If... I let you return to the Honkai world?"
Suddenly, Jiang Yan asked softly, and Himeko was stunned, then looked at Jiang Yan with some surprise.
"Is the Sect Master serious?!"
If she could go back...
With her current strength, crossing the Finality might be difficult.
But she could also make it so Kiana and the others didn't have to walk such difficult paths.
The tragedies of the world could be reduced by a lot!
What's more, she believed in Kiana and the others; with their talent, they were absolutely top-tier geniuses for cultivation.
Teyvat could produce divine bodies, why couldn't the Honkai world?
The technological side was also composed of humans!
As long as Kiana and the others cultivated, would Honkai still be a problem?
Even the ancestor of Honkai had been stunned by the Shushan Heavenly Dao.
If she could bring Kiana and the others back to Shushan to cultivate, she could definitely solve the Honkai very quickly!
Thinking of this, Himeko's gaze became increasingly fiery.
Originally, she had given up, only wanting to cultivate to the point of refining Qi into Spirit before finding a way back to the Honkai world.
But now...
Being able to go back early was definitely better!
"Sect Master!"
Himeko pursed her lips, looking at Jiang Yan excitedly.
"Can I return to the Honkai world?"
"This is exactly my thought."
Jiang Yan nodded gently, not hiding it from Himeko, and said softly:
"Originally, I didn't have much of a sense of urgency; rooted in Teyvat, with the mysterious Teyvat, Shushan could also slowly revive."
"A hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years..."
"Shushan lacks nothing but time."
"But now, it's no longer possible."
Jiang Yan sighed and said faintly:
"The Evil Sword Immortal has been released, and the first target of his revenge will definitely be Shushan; although as long as his consciousness is suppressed, a mere late-stage Refining Void and Combining Dao fusion of two consciousnesses is not a big problem for me."
"But the Evil Sword Immortal is not alone."
"The demons of the Heavenly Demon Ridge are gathering, ravaging the cultivation world."
"I alone cannot stop the entire Heavenly Demon Ridge."
"The Evil Sword Immortal will find Shushan sooner or later; I don't know how long it will take, but for cultivators, time is always fleeting like a white horse passing a crack."
"Shushan needs to form combat power capable of resisting the Heavenly Demon Ridge faster, and needs to revive faster."
"Relying solely on Teyvat... perhaps Teyvat has many geniuses, and being rooted in the mysterious side is also more suitable for cultivation."
"But the Teyvat world is too small; if we hollow out Teyvat, how many geniuses can we gather?"
Jiang Yan smiled bitterly and slowly raised his hand.
Immediately, it attracted the attention of Yae Miko and the others.
On that fair, jade-like wrist, a trace of black-red demonic energy lingered, condensing into a strange rune that was soul-stirring.
"Sect Master, this is..."
Ganyu looked at Jiang Yan nervously, and the latter sighed.
"Heavenly Demon Finger Confusion Seal..."
"In the previous battle, although I successfully suppressed the Evil Sword Immortal's consciousness back into the Demon-Locking Tower with the Samadhi True Fire and the An Earth God Mantra."
"But due to a moment of carelessness, I was also imprinted with the Heavenly Demon Finger Confusion Seal by the opponent."
Ganyu immediately became anxious and worried:
"Sect Master, will there be any trouble? I'll call..."
She wanted to say call Bai Zhu and the others over, but then she thought, if Jiang Yan, the strongest in Shushan, couldn't solve it, what could Bai Zhu and the others do?
Immediately, Ganyu felt somewhat sad.
Right now, none of them could help Jiang Yan...
"The Heavenly Demon Finger Confusion Seal is not a killing or curse, it is a wicked technique that clings like bone-eating maggots."
"Once imprinted, it cannot be stripped away; unless the caster dies, it cannot be resolved for life. Of course, if I become an immortal, I could solve it."
"The effect of the Heavenly Demon Finger Confusion Seal is very simple, but it is also the most troublesome; the Heavenly Demon Finger Confusion Seal is also known as the Ten Thousand Mile Revenge Technique."
"Since I am afflicted with this technique, the Evil Sword Immortal will definitely notice; although separated by immeasurable worlds, for a cultivator of Refining Void and Combining Dao, crossing worlds is as simple as drinking water."
"The rest is just a matter of time."
"According to my deduction, the Evil Sword Immortal must already know that Shushan still exists, and that I still exist; he will definitely come for revenge to reclaim the three consciousnesses."
"Fast as a hundred years, slow as several thousand years, he will definitely come."
"I do have a way to escape, and a way to protect myself."
"The Samadhi True Fire is enough to make the Evil Sword Immortal retreat three feet."
