Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

“Kiana woke up in my dream…and I also dreamed about Mei in the Homu Land before…” Bronya pondered for a moment, feeling that things were not so simple.

"Although your memories haven't fully returned, you often see these incredible scenes. Is this some kind of precognitive ability? You dreamt of Mei-neechan, and then Mei-neechan appeared... This time you dreamt of Kiana, so will Kiana appear?"

"Shh... Bronya, don't say those things..." Seele gently covered Bronya's mouth with her little hand.

Mei and the others are already only able to contend with the Nine Heavens. If Kiana, the Herrscher of the Sea, were to reappear, they would truly be doomed.

Although the ultimate goal of the Flame Moths is to kill Kiana, they all know their own limitations...

In fact, aside from a very few people who can look directly at Kiana, most people will probably be completely wiped out by the Honkai energy leaking from her body before they even see her...

"Sorry, I was being a bit jinxed, but we have to prepare for the worst... You guys rest first, I'll go discuss the base relocation with Himeko."

"Hehehe, you two siblings can chat, I won't disturb you!"

Seele waved to Jiuxiao and the other person with a smile, then caught up with Bronya and left with her.

After Bronya and Seele were out of sight, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao whispered to Jiuxiao.

"Actually, there's something I haven't told them... Brother, Kiana said this world is a fake world that I created..."

"Hmm... I had a suspicion before, but now I'm certain."

Jiuxiao nodded. It was just speculation before, but after Mei drained the Honkai energy from Changkong City, resulting in Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple being weak and unconscious, Jiuxiao could be pretty sure.

This world was not created by the Nine Heavens of Penglai Temple, but everything in this world is closely related to the Nine Heavens of Penglai Temple.

What happened to Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple in the real world that led to this place's existence is unknown to Jiuxiao. But if something happened to Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple in this world, then it's certain that the Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple in the real world is not much better off.

This is the spiritual world of Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple, or rather, the sacred mark, the world of souls... But this is the first time Jiuxiao has ever seen a soul containing the souls of an entire world...

"Then...brother, are you real?"

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao looked at Jiuxiao with hopeful eyes. She regarded Jiuxiao as her own family, the person she trusted most. If Jiuxiao was also someone she liked, then Penglai Temple Jiuxiao would probably go crazy.

"?" Jiuxiao blinked his eyes, then reached out and patted Penglai Temple Jiuxiao's little head.

"Are you sure you're not hurt? Or are you dreaming and can't distinguish reality from illusion? Didn't I already say I'm not from this world? I came here by accident. It's definitely real!"

"Hehe... I just wanted to ask~" Houraiji Kyushou chuckled, covering his head as he sat on the bed. "But... brother, what do you think Bronya and the others would do if they knew they weren't real people...?"

"Nothing will happen, they will still be themselves."

Jiu Xiao stood up and walked to the window, looking at the people in the darkness who were moving supplies and loading things from the base onto the train.

Sweating, crying, laughing—what does it matter if they aren't real humans? Aren't they still living beings?

"You shouldn't be thinking about what will happen to them, but about what will happen to us..."

Haven't you noticed? Once you realize they aren't real people... you stop caring about them, and even disregard the meaning of their lives.

Bronya and Seele's concern...you seem rather indifferent..."

"..." Penglaiji Jiuxiao pulled the blanket up, covering his pale face. "Sorry, can I have some peace and quiet?"

"Hmm... If you created this world, then you must understand the meaning of these beings' existence... because they were also created by you..."

Jiuxiao closed the door, leaving Penglai Temple Jiuxiao with both time and space to think things through.

The people of this world reflect the will of Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens. Whatever the subconscious of Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens is like, that's what the people of this world will develop into…

If the Nine Heavens of Penglai Temple disregard their lives... then they will take the sacrifice of their companions for granted.

Jiu Xiao once read a sentence, a very terrifying sentence…

"We are not afraid of sacrifice; we are afraid of getting used to it."

--------------

One of the team members found a broken golden spear and gave it to Bronya.

When Bronya saw the broken spear again, she immediately recognized it as the Oath of Judah.

"The oath of Judah... It seems that Principal Theresa will be nearby soon."

"Only Principal Theresa can use this weapon... Principal Theresa is still alive, I'll take the investigation team to find her right now!" Seele hurriedly tried to gather the troops to search for Theresa's whereabouts.

"Why are you looking for that traitor? She has given up the fight and abandoned us." Himeko stood aside, coldly watching the agitated Seele.

Chapter 289 Because We've Been Used to Sacrifice

"Don't say that, Himeko. Since Principal Theresa has been here, it means she hasn't given up the fight. Don't worry, Seele, Principal Theresa is very powerful."

Jiuxiao and his team had previously carried out a large-scale cleanup of Honkai creatures, so now Honkai creatures should be randomly spawning in various places, but there are no Honkai creatures near the base.

And with this broken spear... perhaps Principal Theresa is protecting us from somewhere we can't see..."

Not far from the base, in a place unknown to anyone.

Theresa is pulling the spear of Judah from the head of a Honkai creature several times larger than her body.

"Phew... Now all the Honkai creatures around here are dealt with. Bronya and the others should have a much easier time surviving from now on..."

Theresa, carrying the oath of Judah, followed Judah's guidance and headed towards the next place where Honkai energy reactions occurred.

Thirteen Judah spears, now only twelve remain. Because one was used by Jiuxiao to stab Meiyi, and Meiyi cut it in half.

I forgot to ask Jiuxiao to fix it. Oh well, I'll deal with it next time I run into him...

--------------

As night fell, people loaded all their luggage and supplies onto the train and the Hyperion.

The Herrschers could launch a surprise attack at any time, so the base was abandoned and the team moved to a new, safe location.

But where can we go...?

There is no safe place in this world anymore.

Some people got on the bus, while others didn't want to. Because even if they left by bus, it wouldn't make a difference whether they died sooner or later.

Rather than living in constant fear, racing against the Honkai creatures, it's better to spend these last safe moments in the base. After five years of this race, many are exhausted…

The Gray Moth troops began to board the Hyperion one after another. They would lead the way and use the Hyperion's power to tow the train at high speed.

But perhaps it was while they were waiting for everyone to gather, perhaps it was while they were waiting for them to be filled with hope that boarding the train would mean survival... that the Herrscher of Thunder arrived again...

Boom——

The weather changed instantly; thunder roared, lightning flashed, and a torrential downpour began…

The strong winds blinded people, and the heavy rain made their bodies feel heavy and slowed their movements…

The rampant Honkai energy continued to gather, and Honkai creatures appeared out of thin air outside the base.

The dust that filled the sky was blown into a huge vortex by the gale, and in the lightning, a huge dragon-shaped phantom roamed within it.

"That's... a dragon? How can something like that really exist...?"

"Damn it, it's a new species..."

Bronya was the first to react; she urgently shouted orders to everyone.

"Everyone abandon the base and board the ship immediately! We must evacuate immediately!"

"The Gray Moth Squad will be activated immediately! Eliminate the Honkai creatures and clear the path!!"

The situation is clear to everyone just by looking at the sky. Lightning is accumulating there, and it could strike the base at any moment.

Jiuxiao, along with Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, immediately went to the front line to help the Gray Moth troops clear the road.

Others scrambled to get on the train. A third of the original group hadn't planned to leave, but now the rushing was the most intense. The original group grew increasingly annoyed, thinking, "You're the ones who weren't leaving, and now you're the ones trying to grab it..."

The originally orderly boarding process was immediately thrown into chaos, with some people even engaging in fights...

Emisha roared that the wounded should get on the truck first... but apart from Iserline, whom she had dragged over to help, and a few people from the medical department, no one was willing to pay her any attention... some even intentionally or unintentionally knocked over the stretcher that Emisha had set up... to prevent her from getting on...

Bronya and Seele shouted to maintain order, but their voices were ignored... At this moment, the evil of human nature was instantly exposed in the face of life and death...

A thunderstorm was about to hit, but many people still hadn't boarded the train...

But Himeko immediately ordered the cabin doors closed and started the train. Many wounded soldiers and children were still unable to board the train…

Jiuxiao rushed into the sky, preparing to unleash a black hole to devour the thunderstorm and block Mei's attack.

嗏

Himeko grabbed Seele and Bronya and threw them directly into the cabin.

"Hyperion! Main guns, prepare to fire! Slaughter away any Honkai scum blocking your way!!"

"Himeko! What are you doing? There are still combatants ahead!"

Bronya yelled at Himeko and charged forward, trying to stop Himeko from firing the cannon.

However, other members of the Gray Moth rushed up and held Bronya down. They always unconditionally trusted Himeko's orders, so they wouldn't let Bronya stop Himeko.

Himeko didn't even glance at Bronya behind her. Although it was somewhat cruel, sacrificing a few was for the sake of the survival of the many.

"emission!"

"Himeko, I *you*."

Jiuxiao immediately turned around and rushed to the front line, because Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple was ahead, clearing the train track with the combat personnel and the Gray Moth troops.
