Chapter 148: All the Power of Infinite Souls, I Give It to You, Why Are You Still Not Happy?!

"Ah!"

Zhao Zhu fell to the ground, completely incapacitated!

This was probably the most shameful way to be defeated!

He was originally able to absorb the power of the strongest in the current era, but instead, due to his own insufficient capacity, he was directly burst apart on the spot! Fortunately, he was still useful; otherwise, Su Jing would certainly not have let go of him.

Directly bursting his entire body apart, alive and well!!

But even so, he was in terrible pain now.

Lying on the ground, gasping for air in great gulps.

And then, right at this moment!

Tap, tap!

Low footsteps echoed.

As if stepping on his heart, every time the footsteps sounded and drew closer, his heart skipped a beat.

Until!

Su Jing walked to stand before him, looking at him indifferently: "Speak! Where is the headquarters of Destiny!"

"How do we get there!"

Hearing this, Zhao Zhu hesitated for a moment.

Swish! Su Jing directly drew out a card!

There had once been Luo Ji, a Dark Decade, among his former comrades.

Zhao Zhu was certainly no stranger to the power of Decade!

He wasn't stupid; he knew what drawing out the card meant now!

It meant either answer, or die!

And just as Yan Qingxue had once said.

Zhao Zhu was the kind of person who would agree to anything if the price was high enough!

At the end of the day, Destiny was a group of people saving themselves.

He had accepted Ketaer's invitation and joined Destiny only to survive the future destruction that was destined to happen!

So he wanted to live! Not to choose death to keep Destiny's secrets!

Zhao Zhu was quite rational; he decisively spoke up immediately: "In the Helheim Forest, the very forest you saw in Miaojiang!"

"But you should know some of this; the Dark Swordsman is a survivor of the previous civilization, so he should have told you everything he knows about that forest."

He cautiously raised his head and answered obediently.

Only when he saw that Su Jing was merely playing with the card and making no other move did he sigh in relief, his heart, which had been lodged in his throat, beginning to return to its place.

So it really is inside the forest, just as Su Jing and Yan Qingxue had previously guessed.

According to the stone tablet's records, the forest was developed into a sanctuary by the previous civilization.

It was just that the people of the previous civilization were wiped out before they could even enter.

Until now, it has become the headquarters of Destiny.

It makes perfect sense.

"Where exactly is the forest located?" This was the question Su Jing cared about most.

"The exact location?" Zhao Zhu looked troubled: "This... I don't know the exact location of the forest either!"

Clang! Su Jing directly pulled open the Decade Driver! Zhao Zhu immediately panicked: "Wait!"

"I really don't know!"

"Not only do I not know, but many people in Destiny don't know either!"

"When we enter the headquarters, it is Ketaer, Zhou Ling, and Sifeier who come to pick us up!"

"Only they know the exact location of the headquarters!"

"Normally..."

Zhao Zhu swallowed hard, his desire to live overflowing, and immediately continued: "And normally, our communication and contact are all through this Ring!"

"This is said to be an artifact of the previous civilization; it allows consciousness to appear as a projection inside the headquarters through the Ring."

Su Jing said nothing.

He merely narrowed his deep eyes slightly, staring at the person before him.

Even through the mask, one could feel just how intense his desire to live was right now.

And on the side, Jiang Li had already finished fighting Zhao Zhu's Secretary!

Zhao Zhu's Secretary, who had transformed into the Kamen Rider Luna Memory, only had abilities that were slightly troublesome.

But if you say he could threaten Survive Night Rogue, that would be underestimating people too much! Although delayed a bit, Jiang Li had already finished the fight!

Then he held a tablet, and the person on the tablet was none other than Yan Qingxue.

She was not at the headquarters of the Knight Association, but at the Changjing Association, the ancient western capital of the country! That was Jiang Lingying's hometown.

Yan Qingxue had gone there to search for clues possibly left by Jiang Lingying's father.

But now there were clues here as well.

So Jiang Li contacted her.

After roughly understanding the situation, Yan Qingxue nodded:

"His appearance does not seem fake."

"But I have some questions. Ketaer... is a survivor of the previous civilization, right?"

Rarely encountering a member of Destiny willing to answer honestly, and one at the core level at that, Yan Qingxue therefore asked for some important intelligence.

Zhao Zhu did not hesitate; selling out Ketaer gave him no psychological burden at all:

"Right!"

"At least that's what he says!"

"So everything you know about the Previous Era comes from Ketaer?" Yan Qingxue's voice came from her side, accompanied by the sound of pages turning.

Jiang Lingying's voice followed.

"Yan Qingxue, my father's belongings are all here!"

"Take a look and see if there are any clues!"

"Good!"

Yan Qingxue multitasked, bending down to open the box Jiang Lingying had placed before her.

Inside were nothing but letters and some books.

She read through them one letter, one book at a time.

Meanwhile, she continued asking:

"What did you do before becoming members of Honkai Impact?"

"Your records were deleted by Satellite Truth."

Clearly, this was Evolto's doing.

For the sake of member confidentiality, all records had been deleted.

Zhao Zhu answered honestly: "Many members of Honkai Impact have complex identities. As far as I know, there are administrators, botanists, physicists, and even archaeologists and historians; there are even veterinarians!"

"According to Ketaer, this is necessary for the reconstruction of future human civilization; we are all seeds!"

"And I was once just a librarian."

Zhao Zhu spoke while recalling.

It was a sunny morning.

While he was organizing books, Ketaer was the first to enter.

He told Ketaer that it was not yet time to open.

But Ketaer said, "What do you think civilization relies on to continue?"

Zhao Zhu still remembers how confused he was at that moment.

He also remembers that before he could answer, Ketaer spoke for himself.

"It is writing, it is knowledge, it is history, it is the memory that constitutes civilization!"

"A civilization may head toward extinction, but as long as the memory of it remains, it is not a complete extinction!"

"Civilization always blooms suddenly like fresh flowers, full of charm, yet heads toward extinction as sadly as a withering rose!"

"How much time do you think the current civilization has left?"

Hmm, that fits his riddle-man image perfectly! Later, Ketaer simply told him about the existence of the Previous Era and that the current civilization was also about to head toward destruction!

And he wanted to create Honkai Impact to let part of civilization continue!

So... "A librarian, what a distant memory!"

"There really isn't much to do every day~"

"Countless times repeating the organization of books, checking for errors, answering questions, and silencing some fools!"

"That was undoubtedly boring; how could anything be more attractive than becoming a seed for the future!"

"So that day, Ketaer pushed open a new window for my boring world, and I... chose to climb through the window and walk into the unknown world outside!"
