"Although, that signal also attracted some… not-so-pleasant attention…"

Xilian nodded: "But now it seems, everything was worth it. The Galaxy showed us a gentle side, didn't it?"

The Black Swan in memory: "Fortunately, she (Night Moon) misunderstood 'memory'. Night Moon once said, 'Memory' does not favor Wengfaluo Si, but is accumulating and planning, preparing to annex the Path……Her deduction was sound……only she overlooked the limits of what 'humans' can do in this story."

Xilian: "Perhaps my heart also harbors a conspiracy… one that could let everyone reap happiness~ I should help them more in the future, Black Swan Miss."

As memories kept replaying, Xilian grew increasingly strained, coughing incessantly.

The next memory fragment comes from Wufaluo Interior's calculation, the beginning of Taizi and Bai E's Qian Wan Shi plan. The start of this grand expedition was the vow made by these two people who harbored salvation wishes.

"In the blink of an eye, back to the turning point of fate." Looking back, Xilian's tone became much lighter, "Borrowing a thread of illusory hope, we embraced the Qian Wan Shi futility, initiating 'Eternal Return'. Do you remember when the gods first appeared in dreams, separated by a thin crystal, gazing at me? People once suspected He harbored ill intent!"

"But now, I finally believe……" Xilian smiled faintly, tilting her head to gaze at Xilian, "Turns out she (I) has always stood beside me, and so beautifully."

Xilian closed her eyes, clasped her hands: "Cause and effect… truly an unstoppable force. Even if I wished to leave more words for 'Xilian', it seems impossible……"

"After all, you still need to leave your final consciousness, planting the initial seed."

"But I remember you said, when gods shed tears, their reflection in ripples must be the most beautiful thing. But, do you know? When Wengfaluo Si's 'heart' was born, it first saw only a name……"

">>> Analyzing target information: 0, 9, 3……"

Xilian smiled knowingly: "Looks like you've discovered it. Sometimes, just changing your perspective on the world brings surprise, right?"

"Yes, rotating this set of numbers 180° reveals the beautiful Eternal, which we believe in……"

"True Self (EGO)."

——

Honkai 3.

"'True Self'……truly exactly Ailixiya elder sister!"

"Thirteenth Herrscher, Thirteenth Titan, and all are 'True Self'! This is too much of a coincidence, isn't it? As if splitting the same chocolate bar and putting it into two different boxes!"

Although it's not the first time complaining, but each time the coincidence of two worlds aligns, Patrick still can't help wanting to say.

"Patrick, what a lovely metaphor~" Ailixiya slightly lifted her chin, her tone carrying undisguised pride, "In different worlds bloomed the same flower named 'True Self'. And this flower truly is like crystal, it can refract myriad rays of light, no matter which world it grows in, that crystalline essence is unique and irreplaceable."

"Flipping 093 180°…… I really didn't notice this, and it actually hides such depth." Eden couldn't help but click her tongue in wonder, "Do other Golden Descendants also have similar 'angles'?"

"I think only Xilian is special." Ying said, "Flawless Xilian, flawless 'True Self'……perhaps only such her could become Wengfaluo Si's heart."

Everyone was chatting in the restaurant with gaps, when Eden suddenly noticed nearby diners all unconsciously turning their gaze toward Ailixiya. Someone put down knife and fork, someone leaned to a companion's ear to whisper.

"Hey hey, did that pink-haired girl notice? Won't it be too similar?"

"Yeah, exactly the same, even voice and tone identical!"

"That little girl with cat ears calls her……Ailixiya elder sister? Could she be Wu Luo Jing Zi?"

Eden slowly set down her wine cup, gaze sweeping over those whispering, then landing on Ailixiya. "Ailixiya, I recall an organization secretly investigating Wu Luo Jing Zi; if such misunderstandings deepen, perhaps one day someone will come knocking."

——

"The next memory fragment is about Bai E, when young he could see the 'hero in his heart', only then he had to worry about his father's arranged farm work, no time to attend to it."

"'Hero in my heart' has accompanied me and him since childhood. Bai E has always been strong. But, if without that thread of hope lingering in the mind……would entangling his fate and reincarnation crush him?"

"As long as we can put a thread of hope into his heart……he will surely persevere."

Taizi smiled at Xilian: "Exactly, just need a tiny spark……he can hold onto a glimmer of light, become a blazing Jin Ri."

""

"However, having traced back in memory far enough, Xilian already felt powerless."

"I no longer have strength……to sculpt the hero in my heart into a star's form. Then…let me leave him a 'Divine Revelation'." Xilian gently raised her hand, palm seeming to lightly hold a cluster of weak flame, "Carry this wish forward……become the hero who opens 'Salvation'……"

"As the Divine Revelation shows: 'You shall bear the Arrogant Sun, until the gray-white dawn becomes evident'……"

"Go on……bear this world……until……gray-white hero……nameless Savior……brings dawn……"

"Accompanied by the last Wind Chime sound, heralding the Divine Revelation has reached the 'past'."

"Thus……your gaze has already penetrated Wengfaluo Si, from end to beginning."

——

Attack on Titan.

"Indeed, that Divine Revelation was sent by Xilian. Influencing the past from the future……"

Armin only felt this power was truly too unimaginable, making him also unable to help envying.

Under the Titans' siege, humans have already explored outside the walls for countless years, if truly there exists a so-called 'god', able to give them revelation, or change the past……

"What's wrong, Armin? You seem distracted." Eren noticed Armin's absentmindedness.

"Nothing much, I'm just thinking……if our world truly had a god similar to Xilian, invisibly tugging at the world's causality, what change could affect the future?"
