Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

Kiana chuckled softly with satisfaction... She had actually achieved a wish she couldn't fulfill herself.

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

After the world stabilized, the gates of Penglai Temple opened at Jiuxiao, bringing everyone to that world.

Although the desolate world has become real, the traces left by the Great Collapse still remain.

So when the sword from the heavens pierced the newly born earth, the power of creation instantly spread out from the heavens in all directions, covering the entire earth in just a few breaths.

The power of the Nine Heavens is constantly transforming the Earth's environment: plants flourish, water is purified, and the air is filtered...

Soon after, Earth returned to an environment most suitable for life, and the destruction of the Great Collapse was swept away.

After Jiuxiao finished his work, he found that the dead spirits from before were piled up behind him, silently watching him transform the Earth's environment.

The real world was fully born on the basis of the Holy Mark, just as Jiuxiao had told the undead trapped in the Holy Mark space, they were liberated.

Crossing from the Sacred Mark Space to the real world, each spirit washed away its resentment and let go of its obsessions. Having waited countless hours in the Sacred Mark Space, they could finally enter the cycle of reincarnation and attain true liberation.

Before passing away, each person walks to the Nine Heavens of Penglai Temple and the Nine Heavens, sincerely smiles and thanks them, and then walks the path to reincarnation.

Kiana and Mei stood at a distance, silently watching all of this, not daring to approach. They were content just to watch from afar.

Because without them, these people wouldn't have become undead souls trapped in the Sacred Mark Space, unable to find peace...

A young girl ran up to Kiana and tugged at the hem of Kiana's clothes.

"Big sister, you're Kiana... right?"

Kiana bent down and met the girl's innocent eyes. After a long silence, she slowly spoke.

"Yes...I am..."

The girl, now confirmed, raised her hand. Kiana closed her eyes, prepared to be scorned by thousands and to have people vent their anger on her.

But instead of slapping Kiana as she had expected, the girl gently lifted the corner of Kiana's mouth, giving Kiana a stiff smile.

Kiana opened her eyes and found the girl smiling at her.

"Big sister, you're so beautiful, why don't you smile more? Why do you always look so sad?"

"I……"

"Ok?"

"Why...why aren't you angry with me..."

The girl tilted her head, not quite understanding what Kiana meant, then seemed to understand and smiled at her.

"Don't be angry, Kiana! We've always been watching you, observing you. We know all your hard work and sacrifices..."

If it were during those years of the disaster, I would definitely be very, very angry... but we have been trapped here for too long... so long that we have blurred our rationality, blurred our consciousness, blurred the past.

We don't know when it started, but your will touched us. As we cheered you on, our hatred gradually faded away...

I know this sounds strange, and you probably won't understand... but that doesn't matter anymore. The past is the past, and time will change everything... Now it's time for us to start a new life.

The girl held a bouquet of flowers in both hands and smiled as she presented it to Kiana.

"So... Kiana, are you willing to make peace with us?"

The girl named Kiana had long since cried her eyes out and had forgotten what it meant to cry. So what is it that is now sliding down her cheeks?

The young girl tiptoed and gently wiped away her tears.

"Even though she's so old, she's still a crybaby..."

"Hehe...sorry..."

Kiana wiped away her tears, stiffly twitched her facial muscles, and revealed a smile she had long forgotten.

"We've reconciled... but I'll never forget the crimes I committed..."

"Then let's muster our courage and keep going! Goodbye, Kiana..."

Kiana waved to the departing white-haired girl with her pigtails tied in Roman curls.

"Um... goodbye, me."

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

Kiana's tens of thousands of years of life were magnified to tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of years within the different time flows of the Stigmata Space. The spirits trapped by the Stigmata, over countless years, had forgotten what they were, and were more or less influenced and changed by Kiana's experiences…

Or perhaps... Kiana was already dead back then? So this place also traps Kiana's own soul...

Chapter 328 If I forget all of this, please be sure to find me.

This is a world within a box, a world attached to the ninth heaven of Penglai Temple, existing in another dimension.

The entire Earth was integrated into a continent with boundaries. Jiuxiao instructed Penglai Temple to transform the previous dead spots into luminous and heat-generating celestial bodies that hung in the sky as a substitute for the sun.

The energy emitted by Death Mark is all Honkai energy, but Death Mark is also an existence that absorbs all Honkai energy in the world.

After controlling the frequency, almost all of the limited Honkai energy in this world is consumed by the daily operations of the Dead Spots... The impact of Honkai on life on Earth has been minimized.

So... in a way, wouldn't you say this is a unique way of defeating the Honkai?

After expressing their gratitude to Jiuxiao and the Jiuxiao Temple, countless spirits transformed into streaks of starlight, rising into the sky and displaying magnificent splendor.

Not long after the light emanating from the soul faded, the silent continent gradually began to recover.

The total amount of the universe remains constant, and the cycle of birth and death continues endlessly…

Those souls that Kiana had slaughtered were now cleansed of their former glory and returned to the material world as pure beings.

The plants that Jiuxiao created to sustain the world's life now possessed souls and no longer needed Jiuxiao's constant energy supply, but instead radiated vitality on their own.

Now that the world has begun to get back on track, it's time for us all to part ways.

Mei had already left ahead of everyone else, after all, she was also one of the trapped undead in this world...

After bidding Kiana her final farewell, Mei transformed into lightning and vanished from the world.

"I will transform into lightning to light your way. Farewell, Kiana..."

Kiana slowly loosened her grip on the hairband Mei had left behind and let out a deep breath.

"Um... goodbye, Mei."

Because Anzu's body could no longer hold on, Iselin told Penglaiji Jiuxiao how to leave, then bid farewell to Anzu and the others before departing from this world.

Good news! The Iseline from the original world has returned to this world after a peaceful journey.

Bad news: Iselin, who hadn't even figured out what was going on, was dragged to work overtime by Bronya... In order to prevent Iselin from reincarnating and running away after figuring out the situation, Jiuxiao directly created a real body for her.

Iselin was so moved that she cried, and she grabbed a wrench and used a New Year's greeting sword technique to properly thank Jiuxiao.

Jiuxiao, being kind-hearted, couldn't bear to see this, so after giving Iselin a complete set of tools, he fled the Fire Moth's base.

Bronya and Seele are still alive and well. All the hard work they put in has finally brought them a glimmer of hope. It would be too cliché to just let them reincarnate like the other undead.

Therefore, Jiuxiao used the power of creation to create real bodies for them, so that these souls could have a true place to reside.

After Iselin and An left, Kiana found Horaiji Kusho and Kusho.

Seeing that Jiuxiao and the other girl were smiling and welcoming her, Kiana couldn't help but smile as well. She took off her chameleon hair clip and handed it, along with Mei's hairband, to Houraiji Jiuxiao and Jiuxiao.

"This world is gradually becoming more complete, and my time to stay is running out. I'm about to embark on a new journey, returning to where I belong..."

In your respective worlds, another version of me is still feeling lost about the future… From now on, you may face even greater difficulties… more sorrow… and stronger enemies…

But if it were you, you would definitely face it with a smile too, right?

Jiuxiao and Penglaiji Jiuxiao exchanged a smile and responded to Kiana in unison.

"Of course, that's the attitude a savior should have!"

"Heh... If it were you guys, you could definitely save that crumbling future. Thank you, goodbye..."

Kiana waved goodbye to Jiuxiao and the other two, then turned into light and disappeared from this world.

The Honkai is not over, and she will not stop fighting it. She will continue to fight the Honkai in the Stigmata Space, together with her past self, waiting for her future self to arrive…

After Kiana left, Jiuxiao and Penglaiji Jiuxiao returned to Qianyu Academy and buried the chameleon hair clip and purple hairband that Kiana had given them in the place where Kiana and Mei had once slept.

In a way, it helped Kiana fulfill one of her wishes, allowing Kiana and Mei to rest together forever...

(I don't remember exactly, but in the normal storyline of Honkai Impact 2's new chapter, Kiana and Mei seem to have dug it up later, which is hilarious.)

It's a bit strange... because whether it's the world of Jiuxiao or the world of Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, Kiana and Mei are still working hard.

After burying Kiana and Mei's belongings, Jiuxiao and Penglaiji Jiuxiao stood on the rooftop of what used to be the Senba Academy, quietly looking down at the still-living members of the Fire Moths.

A gentle breeze swept by, causing the long hair of the Ninth Heaven of Penglai Temple to flutter high in the air.

"It's time for us to part ways... Brother Jiuxiao..."

"Well, I've stayed in this world long enough. The people of my world are still waiting for me. So many people want to kill me. If I don't go back, it would be too easy for them."

Besides… all my loved ones are there, waiting for me. They must be so worried about me after being gone for so long.”

"Me too... I've been slacking off here for so long, they must be very worried. I can already imagine their expressions. They must be very busy by then, with many things to do and many difficulties to overcome."
