Chapter 109

Huang Quan’s voice began to slowly recount the story of that world’s destruction: "To save the common people, the Izumo nation broke seventy thousand and thirty-three swords!"

"Forged into the supreme! The World-Protecting Edict Blades!"

"Twelve in total!"

The audience before the livestream could not understand the meaning of these words.

The descent of those eight million gods had brought a massive catastrophe to the Izumo nation, and to face such a disaster!

The Izumo nation destroyed every sword within its borders, using them to forge twelve powerful World-Protecting Edict Blades...

At this moment, the expressions of Vill-V and MEI from the Previous Era suddenly turned somewhat strange...

How is this plot...

A bit familiar?

And as Huang Quan proceeded to recite the name and ability of each Edict Blade...

The expressions of the audience in the livestream became increasingly spectacular...

In the video footage...

The scene shifted; an ice-blue Edict Blade descended from the sky, its energy appearing digitized...

Then, a strange blue giant had its chest pierced through by this great blade.

"The first is Truth!"

"Forged by slaying the God of Tomoe!"

"It allows mortals to perceive all laws and deconstruct all phenomena!"

"To recreate miracles..."

Hearing the ability of the first Edict Blade, the audience’s expressions turned strange...

This...

The authority of the Herrscher of Reason?

Immediately following, the video showed a scene the audience was incredibly familiar with.

In the chaotic sky, black spatial portals appeared one after another.

Then, from those portals, black giant hands reached out to grab...

Isn't this scene exactly the authority of the Herrscher of the Void displayed by Sirin in the previous video?

"The second is Heaven!"

"Forged by slaying the God of Heaven's Standing!"

"It can turn the high heavens into walls, making it difficult for the gods of calamity to traverse!"

Before a spatial portal, a mysterious precious blade carrying spatial fluctuations appeared!

This was the Edict Blade Heaven!

Its ability was to obstruct those eight million gods descending from the sky, preventing them from moving freely...

"Wait... wait a moment..."

"My brain is a bit scrambled right now..."

"Divine Key of Binding? The Thousand Realms?"

Vill-V herself was stunned...

These aren't World-Protecting Edict Blades at all!

Aren't these just straight-up Divine Keys?

Exactly the same!

They are completely identical existences...

MEI also didn't know what to say to express the shock in her heart...

Elysia said, somewhat confused: "No wonder the Captain said earlier that it was the most similar to our Previous Era..."

"So the similarity lies here?"

Su suppressed the shock in his heart: "So..."

"Could those slain gods be Herrschers?"

"And then, using these Herrscher cores plus all the weapons of the Izumo nation..."

"They forged these twelve World-Protecting Edict Blades?"

Eden spoke slowly: "Could it be... that the Edict Blades just look similar?"

Kalpas asked the most critical question: "But why..."

"Are the authorities exactly the same?"

Right...

Why?

The Flame-Chasers looked at each other...

Even MEI, who had always known everything, couldn't figure out the reason at this moment...

St. Freya Academy...

Kiana exclaimed: "This, this, this... isn't this the ability Sirin just displayed?"

"The Herrscher of the Void's spatial portals!"

"And those hands... they are all moves Sirin used to fight..."

"Could it be that in that Izumo nation, they also encountered the Honkai?"

Bronya and Mei were also unable to understand...

They couldn't make sense of what was going on at all...

Bronya couldn't help but let her imagination run wild: "Could it be that the disaster the Izumo nation encountered..."

"Is actually the Honkai?"

Fu Hua shook her head: "But it's only a similarity in authority and Divine Keys..."

"These eight million gods all came from the sky."

Mei also said: "And not only that, when Huang Quan introduced the Edict Blade Heaven, she also said..."

"The ability of Edict Blade Heaven can prevent those evil gods from the sky from coming to the human world so easily!"

"In other words, all the disasters in the Izumo nation were..."

Mei pointed toward the sky: "From the sky."

"And if we set aside the dominance of the Honkai Will, the Honkai's disasters across the world are more like..."

"Random disasters..."

Kiana asked doubtfully: "But..."

"Even if only the authorities are similar, it's still very strange..."

"Is it just such a coincidence?"

Kiana still couldn't believe it: "A disaster that destroys the world just happened to appear..."

"And these gods' authorities just happen to be the same as the Herrschers in our world..."

"At the same time... Huang Quan and her partners turned these gods' authorities into Edict Blades similar to Divine Keys..."

"Mei, don't you think it's all too coincidental?"

"If these aren't the Honkai..."

Mei nodded: "Yeah... especially the Divine Keys and the Edict Blades, the authorities and these abilities..."

"It can no longer be called similar..."

"They are completely... identical."

Fu Hua continued to look at the video screen: "Can the similarity of civilizations really reach this level?"

In the video footage...

Huang Quan continued to recite the names of the remaining Edict Blades...

The more she recited...

The more rigid the audience became!

"The third is Sound!"

"It can summon thunder to tear through the sky!"

"Star-flowing thunder strikes to execute heavenly punishment!"

In the footage, a purple long blade descended from the sky with thunder, piercing a dragon by the sea directly!!!

Extremely powerful...

And in the Previous Era, the similar Divine Key was named—Seven Thunders of Retribution!

Corresponding to the third Herrscher of the Honkai world—the Herrscher of Thunder!

"The fourth is Storm!"

A grass-green long blade appeared in the video, and there were wings on both sides of the blade!

When the wings spread, fierce winds howled all around.

"It can make fierce winds shatter the earth!"

"Clouds run and rain howls, the gale never ceases."

Corresponding to the fourth Divine Key of the Previous Era in the Honkai world—Star of Eden!

The fourth Herrscher—Herrscher of Wind!

"The fifth is Frost, the frozen earth is boundless, the moment passes forever..."

"The sixth is Life, life and death, flowing endlessly..."

"The seventh is Blaze, forged by slaying the God of Kagutsuchi..."

The slain gods and the authorities of the Edict Blades all matched up...

On the Astral Express...

Welt was dumbfounded...

He knew all twelve Divine Keys, and he was clear about their authorities...

When the Previous Era vanished, there were still two Divine Keys that hadn't been completed!

One was the Divine Key of Binding, for which a completion time had been set, and the other was the eleventh Divine Key, which for various reasons had only been sealed...

But Welt was clear about all these Divine Keys...

So the impact was even more thorough!

March 7th turned to look at Welt behind her: "Mr. Yang..."

"Are they all the same?"

Welt nodded: "Hmm..."

"They are all the same, except for the names..."

"The Divine Keys... no..."

"The order in which these World-Protecting Edict Blades were forged and the authorities they possess are exactly the same..."

March 7th was confused: "But..."

"These disasters are clearly not the Honkai, right? Then why are they so similar?"

"Why would it be like this?"

Dan Heng stated another even more terrifying fact: "If it were just the authorities being similar, perhaps it could be accepted."

"But the evil gods represented by these authorities, and the order in which the Herrschers appeared, are the same..."

"It makes one have to be even more suspicious..."

Welt stared fixedly at the video screen.

There was one thing other viewers didn't know, but Welt knew very well!

That is, the order of appearance of the Herrschers in the current era is so fixed because of the Previous Era...

Could it be...

Does the Izumo nation also have a Previous Era?

Are these eight million gods ravaging the Izumo nation another form of the Honkai?

Welt rubbed his stiff temples: "I really can't understand why it would be like this..."

"Perhaps the answer can only wait for the streamer to tell us..."

Schicksal Headquarters...

Otto, who had seen and heard much over five hundred years, also fell silent.

Even the Divine Key of Binding in his mind was the same...

Otto, who possessed all the data and resources of the Previous Era, also knew how the Divine Keys were made...

How could they be similar to this extent?

At this time, Durandal spoke slowly: "That Edict Blade named Life just now..."

"Gave me a feeling very similar to Abyss Flower, what about you, Bishop?"

On Otto's body...

There was the existence of the Divine Key of Binding...

This had already been exposed in Fu Hua's previous video...

Otto also nodded: "It is similar; if one must say, it's just that the Divine Key of Binding has its own consciousness, which led to some differences..."

"This kind of similar power..."

"Yet the Captain doesn't directly say it's the Honkai..."

"Could it really not be the Honkai?"

Otto looked at the video screen, lost in thought.

Looks like the Honkai, acts like the Honkai, authority is the Honkai...

And you're telling me this thing isn't the Honkai?

In the barrage, as Huang Quan spoke bit by bit, the audience also began to discuss...

[Theresa: This... is this really not the Honkai? But why do I feel an aura very similar to Judah...]

[Kiana: Auntie, can you feel it?]

[March 7th: Right! It's the Divine Keys...]

[Jing Yuan: Could it be... that the Honkai also exists in our Astral universe?]

[Herta: But if it were the Honkai, Huang Quan's ability later, which is the same as an Emanator's... should be able to deal with the Honkai...]

[Welt: The Honkai Will is very powerful... but I can be sure this is not the Honkai...]

[Silver Wolf: But it is exactly the same as the Honkai...]

[MEI: Can't understand...]

[Vill-V: That guy who said he wanted to make twelve Edict Blades, wouldn't that be my counterpart...]

[Mobius: It seems there is such a possibility...]

[Elysia: Then in your world, is there a counterpart of me? Huang Quan...]

[Huang Quan: Sorry, you haven't appeared on the video screen yet, so I don't know what you look like...]

[Kalpas: Your world also looks pretty good, it's normal to encounter the Honkai...]

[Huang Quan: What is ravaging our world is not the Honkai...]

[Stelle: But why is it so similar?]

[Kiana: Don't think about it, don't think about it, just ask the Captain!]

[March 7th: Makes sense, Streamer~~~]

[Guinaifen: It's a mess... it's completely a mess...]

In the livestream...

Bronya, who was livestreaming with Bai Feng, watched the expressions in the chat become gradually strange...

"Captain..."

"Could this be a Previous Era that is even earlier than the Previous Era?"

Bronya could only think of this possibility...

Perhaps Bai Feng had been lying to them from the beginning...

This is not a story that happened in the Astral universe, but more like a story that happened in the Honkai world...

But not the Previous Era, not the current era that has already crossed the Honkai...

But a certain civilization era in the past.

Bai Feng looked at Bronya and smiled: "Bronya, have you forgotten what I said..."

"In the end, Huang Quan did indeed slash the world with one blade..."
