Chapter 787

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 solve 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 start cultivating, given your realm, I conservatively estimate you will 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 usual warm attitude, Fu Hua felt a slight sense of relief in her heart.

Turning around, she looked at everyone with a sense of bewilderment.

After pondering for a moment, she asked doubtfully:

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

"Strictly speaking, the Honkai hasn't been completely solved, 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 veins, inside my cave dwelling."

"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 a 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 there was one point she grasped clearly.

Looking at Himeko and the others with some concern, she said softly:

"In other words, as of now, the Honkai in the Honkai world hasn't been completely solved, and basically everyone has come to the Shushan world to cultivate?"

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

"To use that to solve 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.

"Then now that everyone is not in the Honkai world, what if something goes wrong over 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, no Honkai disaster above the Knight-class will appear in our world."

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

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

"Once he breaks through, solving the Honkai will be a piece of cake."

"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 is over?"

"Yes."

"..."

Kallen gave a bitter smile and gently covered her chest.

"Although my intuition tells me I should be happy about solving 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 meaning of her being 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.

And she had just had an argument with Otto...

Kallen was truly feeling a bit panicked now.

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

Theresa held Kallen's hand and said softly:

"The Honkai is gone, which is also a good thing. Grandma 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 daze, 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 set these things aside.

Now...

She seemed to be able to pursue her own life.

"So, only by cultivating can Sakura be resurrected?"

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

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

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

"However, I imagine the resurrection performed by First Seat Zhongli is not very easy either."

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

"The Sect Leader possesses the legendary Thirty-Six Heavenly Methods. Grandma Kallen, you were only rewarded with resurrection because Grandfather proposed some suggestions that contributed to Shushan."

This was the tenth-plus 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 focus to the real point.

"Tell me about Shushan, Theresa."

Kallen pursed her lips and smiled, saying softly:

"I've been listening to your stories about the Honkai world, but I don't know much about the situation in Shushan."

"Also... 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 were to really 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 mythological system of Shenzhou?"

"I have read about that. After I was defeated by the Immortal Chiyuan in one move, I looked up a lot of information about the Shenzhou mythological system at the Destiny headquarters."

There was no need to mention Fu Hua; she was a person of Shenzhou in the previous civilization, and over the past fifty thousand years, she had an even deeper understanding of the Shenzhou mythological system.

Himeko breathed a sigh of relief.

"That makes it easier."

After a pause, Himeko said softly:

"Regarding Shushan, one should start from the top down, from ancient times to the present."
