To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

Mr. Iron Fist explained that the original intention of leaving her in this world was to provide guidance when his past self was desperate.

"But waking me is not without conditions. Your future self has set a number, and I will only awaken here when you have mapped and transferred to that number a certain number."

In other words... you are the last insurance he left for me?

“That’s right, but if you choose to give up before you meet this condition, I’m just a useless machine.”

"But why... if I were him, he should know that there are some things I simply cannot do now."

"Ha, that's where his naivety lies; he still harbors illusions about the past version of himself that failed countless times."

Mr. Iron Fist gave a cold laugh, seemingly thinking his idea was too naive.

"—He's hoping that you can be different from your past self, even if the possibility is tiny, that you can find a path completely different from his..."

That's right, even his future self didn't find the best method he envisioned.

He hopes that you, your past self, can find a more perfect path.

And this was his original intention in setting this threshold.

The number in the upper left corner was enlarged on the screen, seemingly to make it more eye-catching, and placed right in the center.

It was a staggering ten million times!

"This threshold is certainly outrageous, but your persistence in witnessing so many deaths without giving up is also quite unusual." Mr. Iron Fist's eyes held a strange light. These two madmen, even she, as a machine, found such persistence incomprehensible.

What exactly did this guy possess that allowed him to complete ten million reincarnations?

And how did they so casually write down the threshold for setting a ship's departure?

[You're ruthless, as expected of you. It's precisely because you hold onto your past beliefs that you can look forward to a better future, even if the chance is as small as a fleeting moment.]

If I have a future self, please don't do this to me, or I might just commit suicide.

...

The reason why the stargazer can never be saved in this world has also been explained.

As Huodou broke through the ruins, it also destroyed the wish-granting machine, Golem. This triggered Golem's passive self-regulation program, which it had set up from the beginning to deal with emergencies.

The key point is that after the self-discipline management program activates and scans the list of past wishes, stargazing isn't happening in this world.

She traveled to other worlds with the captain, so upon her return, she was identified as an alien.

—Those that the world must eliminate.

The gray snake is merely a vessel for this consciousness, or perhaps its agent.

No matter how many times, no matter how many people die, they will hunt them down to the ends of the earth.

"Is there... no other outcome in which I can survive?" Guan Xing couldn't help but ask.

“Unfortunately, no,” Mr. Iron Fist shook his head. “Neither our algorithmic verification nor the ship’s own actions prove that this result does not exist.”

"Moreover, we speculate... that it might even destroy the entire world bubble in order to eliminate you."

“Absurd…” Guan Xing frowned.

To kill her, you'd destroy the whole world? Are you kidding me?

Then wouldn't that mean... the only solution is...

Guan Xing pondered, then looked up at the captain.

“That’s right, bringing her to the Hyperion is the only way.”

Mr. Iron Fist spoke frankly, looking at the two of them.

"It seems I don't have a choice..."

"If my disappearance is the only way to protect this place..."

Guan Xing gave a wry smile, a hint of distress creeping onto her usually serene expression. She hadn't had enough of her Radiant Empire yet.

Especially those people, and that person,

She gently pushed open the door, and Rita was taking a nap on the table, with paper and pen lying to the side.

She stood there for a long time. Rita had been by her side for a thousand years, working tirelessly day and night. She must have spent countless nights handling state affairs.

But now, she must leave, before the night ends and the celebration begins.

She took a blanket and gently covered Rita with it, carefully so as not to disturb her sleep.

—She's still so bad at saying goodbye, just like when she went to guard the ruins back then.

Guan Xing seemed to say something, but didn't speak; only his lips moved slightly.

Let's meet again in the not-too-distant future.

Then, they walked forward, boarded the ship, and bid farewell to the world.

...

When Rita awoke, and the guard asked if she needed to find the Stargazer, she simply shook her head.

His gaze remained fixed blankly on the small, blue folding fan on the windowsill, his hands stroking the blanket covering him.

"Lord Stargazer..."

"It seems you'll be gone for quite a while this time..."

His eyes were downcast, tinged with sadness, yet filled with well wishes.

...

"Teacher..." Tears streamed down Li Xue's pretty face, soaking the sheets.

Especially after she noticed the teacher seemed flustered as she wiped her face, she became even less secretive.

“I’m thinking about how we parted ways… Next time, if you have to leave, don’t do what you did in the video, just tell me in person, Master.”

She looked up at Fu Hua, tears still welling in her eyes.

Having been reborn, she no longer cared about formalities as much as before.

Since this would make the teacher even more flustered and closer to her, she didn't mind showing this side of herself to her master.

The story is touching, but if it's going to make you cry, you can definitely hold it in.

But why should we endure it?

Seeing Fu Hua's flustered movements and slightly panicked expression, Li Xue realized for the first time that the old saying in China was very true—the squeaky wheel gets the grease!

"Eh? Immortal—I'm so touched, I'm about to cry~"

Cangxuan also placed his small hand over his eyes, but the large gap still allowed him to see the two people in front of him.

Fu Hua subconsciously reached for a tissue to hand over, but then suddenly realized what she was doing and said irritably, "Just stop making things worse for now."

She frowned slightly; she should have known better than to recommend such a game to Li Xue.

I wonder if this will affect Ritsuki's condition...

But it's too late to say anything now. Seeing Li Xue crying like this, Fu Hua felt that she also bore some responsibility.

A deep sense of regret turned into a sigh. Looking at the tears in Li Xue's eyes, she realized for the first time that taking care of others was indeed something she wasn't good at.

"Alas, Ritsuki, I will not leave without saying goodbye."

"Master, last time was... never mind, just don't do it again."

Li Xue was extremely satisfied with her current situation, even feeling like she was in heaven. She wouldn't mind if her recovery took a little longer.

...

"If this story is true, then it's no wonder that the stargazer wouldn't allow me to address him by his name,"

Rita's smile gradually faded. Looking at the story in the game and recalling their first encounter a few days prior, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"On the other hand, I and Lady Theresa get along quite well, even in another world."

Karen took a deep breath; her nose and eyes felt itchy.

He opened his mouth wide, but couldn't help but sigh heavily, "Like Yuexia, the other person is also homeless."

"Rita, why don't you take better care of the other person..."

"Although I would love to, the other person doesn't want anyone to replace the person in her heart,"

Rita, unusually, shook her head, disobeying the order.

"She didn't want anyone to be able to replace her friend, even if they had the same face or the same name."

"...Hmm, I didn't consider everything thoroughly. But, living for a thousand years... I hope Theresa can learn from her, so she can take over in the future."

Karen nodded, acknowledging Rita's refusal; she had indeed been influenced by her emotions.

...

"Does this count as you abandoning your family and children to come to this world with this guy?"

Theresa wiped away her tears, her eyes still red, still reeling from the emotional scene. The moment she'd just witnessed was incredibly moving.

Countless times turning back, just to save one person from the clutches of the world?

It seems the headmistress, who is approaching menopause, still has a girlish heart and is deeply moved!

Naturally, Luo Mo only dared to think these words in his heart; he wouldn't dare to say them to someone's face.

"Pah, if you can't use idioms, don't use them," Guanxing said, looking at Theresa with displeasure. What kind of word choice was that? Just saying she was leaving her hometown would have been better...

When did I have a child?

"Uh, sorry, sorry, I got emotional just now..." Theresa blushed, hastily covering up her mistake.

Compared to her initial hostility, she is now filled with curiosity about stargazing—a different world, and unlike under the moon, she knows nothing...

Moreover, isn't this exactly what the other party is saying?

"To me, are you more important than this world?"

Guan Xing paused, fanning himself with his feather fan, and frowned as he looked at Theresa, thinking to himself—she actually has such awareness?

But I haven't seen any signs of that in our recent interactions.

Moreover, she stole the lines and said them herself. What did she say?
