Chapter 506: with translation of chapter title

"The old man is about to disappear, no one else will know this conversation, but he still hopes this universe will remember."

"Huangquan's eyes trembled slightly: 'Some things I can hardly recall, but also some things… I find hard to forget. This is memory, it is created by the past, yet it can blossom with meaning in the distant future.'"

'"I still remember, that is the starting point of my journey, the crimson source of my life, the most intense and fervent thing in every storm... that is my name."'

'"Lei Dian Wang Chuan Shou Yayi."'

——

Honkai 3.

'"Lei Dian Wang Chuan Shou... Yayi?"'

Qiana stared blankly at Miss Huangquan on the skylight; although she had expected it, when the last two words appeared, her heart still gave a thump.

In her world, Yayi was her close friend, her classmate, the most important person to her. But in the vast universe, 'Yayi' stood in a higher position—possessing transcendent strength, becoming an outstanding figure in the Path of Void.

This made her look forward even more to the appearance of another "Qiana".

'"What are you secretly laughing at, Food Eater?" Bronya sneakily moved her face closer, just catching the upward curve of Qiana's mouth corner.'

'"Food Eater?! What an unpleasant nickname!" Qiana stomped her foot in anger, "I was just thinking that maybe only I and the monitor's isotopes haven't appeared here yet? It seems like we might know whose isotope will appear first when the time comes."'

'"Hmm... although the isotopes' personalities might differ greatly from ours, I still hope it's someone with a Shen Zhou style..." Fu Hua pushed up her glasses, actually beginning to seriously fantasize, "Hmm, looking at it now, I hope it's someone from the Xianzhou, feeling that whether it's the Path of Hunt or the cultural style, I like them both."'

Qiana pouted at the side: "Eh... the monitor actually picked that, we don't even know if our isotopes exist... If Pinokangni doesn't show up in the end, I actually hope the world that Xing experiences next will have me."

——

'"The golden beautiful dream is about to stir. In the coming long nights, you will likely encounter many setbacks, witness many tragedies, and in the end, only black and white will remain in your sight."'

'"When the first drop of rain fell on the neon sign of the "Golden Moment," people all looked up at the sky."'

'"Then came the second drop, the third drop..."'

'"Until the rain threads wove into a curtain, until the rain sound drowned out the jazz, until the entire Golden Moment's neon sign twisted in the rain into blurred patches of color——a scarlet lightning bolt suddenly tore the night sky, like a divine blood-blade ruthlessly ripping open the curtain of dreams."'

'"In the wind and rain, Botuo stood atop the satellite tower, raising his old-fashioned revolver and aiming the barrel at the churning clouds above."'

'"He pulled the trigger, the gunshot exploded, and the bullet turned into a blue meteor shooting straight to the horizon."'

'"But please believe, in that black-and-white world there will be a fleeting hint of red, yet when you make your choice——it will surely reappear."'

'"Huangquan slowly drew her blade, and after she unleashed a fierce slash, the night sky of Pinokangni suddenly froze."'

'"The cocktail glasses hanging in the air, the flying champagne foam, the chips tossed up in the casino——all solidified into silent silhouettes in an instant."'

'"The rain hung suspended in midair, each drop turning into transparent gray. The people on the street still held their previous second's actions——laughter, arguing, embracing——but their skin, clothing, even the light in their pupils, were all drained of color, leaving only pallid outlines."'

'"And you, you must carefully chew its meaning, then return to the waking world."'

'"We will all find the answer there."'

——

OVERLORD。

When he saw the world turn pallid again, An Zi knew Huangquan had drawn her sword once more.

(It seems that when she cut Shajin before, she was still holding back; otherwise, if she wished, she could completely immerse all of Pinokangni in void just like today...)

(A single blade can corrupt a world...... truly a monster.)

Seeing Huangquan's display, An Zi suddenly recalled those humans who not long ago called themselves monsters; perhaps their despair and helplessness in human eyes are similar to his current state of mind?

Only such a person deserves to be called a "monster".

……

And in another place, the Holy Kingdom.

The demonized nobles now knelt in unison on the red carpet, trembling all over, squeezing hoarse pleas from their throats, hoping that this "Abundance Envoy" before them could spare their lives.

'"Envoy Sir… can you, through the celestial curtain…… sanction the woman called Huangquan?"'

These people had just been forcibly awakened by Saibasi from the Dream of Taiyi, and immediately they saw the world being corroded by void, each trembling with fear, all hoping Saibasi could help them.

Saibasi remained motionless, his gaze eerily calm.

……Let me sanction Huangquan?

He seemed to have heard a not-so-funny joke, making Saibasi smirk inwardly. To sanction what…… although having such a thought is rather disrespectful to the Supreme Sovereign, after all…… even if all the guardians and An Zi's power were combined, they could not budge Huangquan in the slightest.

Not to mention he is merely a faux Abundance Envoy; even if the true Abundance Envoy descended, he might not be a match for this Huangquan.

——

'"Xing suddenly opened his eyes."'

'"The ethereal chorus still echoed in his ears, but the scene before him was no longer the golden moment; they had returned to the grand theater, and at this moment the train crew all woke up from the Dream of Taiyi."'

'"Ugh… my head feels dizzy……" San Yue Qi rubbed his temples, dazedly straightening his body, waiting for his vision to gradually focus——'

'"The embodiment of 【Concord】 stood towering, its colossal form like a mountain range looming above them; countless pure white spirits hovered beside Shen Zhu Ri, lacking facial features yet chanting in unison, enveloping the entire grand theater in their ethereal song."'

'"……Have you broken free from the dream of order?" Shen Zhu Ri sounded somewhat surprised.'

'"You've slept long enough, Xing, let him see your morning grumpiness!" San Yue Qi aimed at Shen Zhu Ri's head, loosened the bowstring with his fingertips, and the ice-crystal condensed arrow shot forth, carving a icy flash——'

'"Ding."'

'"Those pure white little spirits descended from the sky, embracing countless golden notes, using the notes to precisely block everyone's attacks. San Yue Qi's arrow also shattered in an instant, as if the previous attack had never happened."'

'"If you have any claims——then just go ahead and prove them to me."'
