Chapter 1460: Thousand Star Chronicle PV

Everything before San Yue Qi seemed to be shrouded in a layer of blood, even her breathing turned viscous. Pitch‑black twin claws slowly emerged from the darkness, only to shatter the instant San Yue Qi turned her head.

Her iridescent eyes turned blood‑red in an instant, and a lone crimson jellyfish rose from the void, its bell opening and closing, eerily drifting around her.

"They lurk, they covet."

"Brewing a blasphemous plot…"

Chang Ye Yue smiled, slowly walking toward San Yue Qi in the mirror. The glass surface was like water, reflecting two silhouettes that were alike yet completely different; she extended a hand, gently lifting the girl's chin, forcing her to raise her face.

Under that frantic gaze, Chang Ye Yue exuded an aggressive pressure, like night spreading inch by inch over spring twilight. Her slender fingers slipped down, finding the girl's trembling fingertips, embedding bit by bit until… ten fingers interlocked, gripping tightly.

…as if to pull every shiver of hers into the palm.

"Now… are you willing to face me?"

Honkai 3.

"It's okay, San Yue, this kind of situation is common for us; don't put too much mental pressure on yourself."

Wa Er Te, based on past experience, inferred that this 'Chang Ye Yue' is most likely an entity akin to an 'inner personality'; the inner personality does not appear normally, but when San Yue Qi faces an truly insurmountable crisis, it actively possesses her body to deal with the threat.

As long as those threats are eliminated, Chang Ye Yue will likely relinquish control of the body, allowing San Yue Qi to return to it.

Moreover, according to the scene in the celestial curtain, those two black massive hands reaching for San Yue Qi are incarnations of Liu Guang Yi Ting; although San Yue Qi normally lacks the ability to oppose them, Chang Ye Yue seems able to handle them calmly.

This Chang Ye Yue is really strong… even just from appearance one can roughly guess it.

"Yue A Xi Mu, do you think Chang Ye Yue's eyes… seem somewhat familiar?" Te Si La examined Chang Ye Yue's unremarkable eyes closely; the eyes were like a pool of blood that could swallow anything.

"I also find them a bit familiar… always feel like I've seen them somewhere," Wa Er Te said. "This Chang Ye Yue wields the power of 'Memory'; since she can recall the details of San Yue Qi before opening the sea in Lin Yuan Jing, that shows she possesses all of San Yue Qi's memories."

"So she wouldn't act against San Yue Qi… right?"

"No. In my experience, as long as San Yue Qi 'faces' Chang Ye Yue and is willing to accept her, Chang Ye Yue's personality will take the lead—but her purpose isn't to possess San Yue Qi's body, it's to protect her."

"'Face one's 'past'…'"

"'Since the birth of that shattered Liu Guang—'"

Chang Ye Yue looked up, her gaze seeming to touch Fu Li's god‑like corpse that resembled an ice sculpture; but the next second the corpse shattered, countless crystals spraying outward like a reverse meteor shower, as if billions of mirrors exploded in the same instant—

The fragments fluttered about, like a great snowfall torn apart by a god, falling into the deep void of space.

And within one of those fragments, San Yue Qi slept silently, drifting aimlessly through the cosmos…

"'When the lie of 'Memory' is buried together—'"

"'When Liu Guang Yi Ting's kin gaze upon—'"

The Buried Fu Li Lian.

"Ah??!"

Hu Ta Er Ke was instantly dumbfounded, his mouth gaping in disbelief.

"Wait… I'm sure I didn't missee, right? Fu Li shattered? And within that broken piece of the god‑body… San Yue Qi is wrapped?!"

"Could it be… Fu Li is already dead, dead…?"

Filien even doubted that Hu Ta Er Ke's gaping mouth could fit five eggs.

"Calm down, Hu Ta Er Ke, the matter is far more than Fu Li's 'death' being simple." Zan Yin slapped the boy's shoulder, startling him into a twitch. "This Chang Ye Yue even knows that San Yue Qi is sleeping in ice; it seems she has been residing in her body since San Yue Qi's birth."

"Also, think carefully: if Fu Li truly 'died', how would we explain that glance cast toward the star, hmm?"

Zan Yin's words instantly cooled the boy.

Indeed… if Fu Li is dead, the act of 'glance' shouldn't exist at all, and Miss Hei Tian E had once mentioned that Fu Li glanced at Wong Faros… she even sensed it on the train.

"You… you're right."

Moreover, if Fu Li truly died, do you think the Black Swan of Liu Guang Yi Ting, who walks the 'Memory' fate, wouldn't know? No one knows better than she whether the star god on her own fate is still alive.

His words further dispelled Hu Ta Er Ke's stunned thoughts. Indeed, the 'Fu Li shattered' was merely a flash in the celestial curtain, perhaps just a metaphor or a symbol; in any case it certainly cannot be equated directly with the star god's death.

But that's a star god! The death of a star god should be known throughout the universe; even if others are kept in the dark, could the Black Swan still be fooled?

Dragon Clan.

"Fu Li… died?! San Yue Qi was born from Fu Li's fragments?"

Manstein was so shocked he could not speak; that brief, few‑second information display not only instantly revealed San Yue Qi's mysterious origin, but also instantly altered their understanding of the 'Memory' fate.

"Is… could it be that 'Memory' is a fate without a master?" Manstein whispered.

"No. If Fu Li's divine body died, the star god's glance could not occur. Moreover, Manstein… have you forgotten when we first saw Fu Li?" Feng Shi Nai De's palm pressed the wheelchair's armrest as he asked in a deep voice.

"Simulated universe…"

"More precisely, it was during the founder Louis Fu Lai Ming's final public appearance in the simulated universe of the Interstellar Peace Company," Angre added offhand, deftly cutting off the cigar's tip with a pocketknife and leisurely lighting another for himself. "That was our first time seeing Fu Li; at least then… Fu Li was still 'alive', Louis Fu Lai Ming and Fu Li exchanged a glance and then silently departed, and that wealthiest elder of the universe never appeared again."

"Then what about San Yue Qi?" Manstein asked, "The 'Child of Memory' plus the recent celestial curtain image already enough to show San Yue Qi herself is part of Fu Li's divine body. Wait… that would mean Xilian also likely shares the same fate."

"Could it be because Fu Li fell?" Feng Shi Nai De whispered, as if to himself, "If Fu Li fell after meeting Louis Fu Lai Ming, and Liu Guang Yi Ting deliberately blocked the news of a deity's fall…"
