Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

Fu Hua stroked the familiar characters and softly read the story recorded on the stone tablet.

"To those destined for future generations, I am Lian Shan, the leader of the Shenzhou tribe. My comrade-in-arms, Ji Lin, sealed the monster Chi You, who was threatening Shenzhou, here with her own life. The only thing I can do is to use these stone tablets to record her legend, hoping that future generations will remember her sacrifice."

"Lianshan? Isn't that a hero from the same era as Ji Lin in the legends of Shenzhou?" Mei said in surprise.

"It seems this really is the Nine Netherworld. What's next, Fu Hua?" Himeko asked Fu Hua.

"The rest of the text should be on other stone tablets... but I remembered a story, would you like to hear it?"

"Tell me about it."

"It was autumn. Lian Shan brought Ji Lin some water-lung grass, and the next day Ji Lin dived into the deep sea to fight Chi You in the Nine Netherworlds..."

After that, Ji Lin and Chi You never appeared again... After that, Lian Shan and Jing Wei kept searching for the location of Jiu You.

Unfortunately, Lian Shan and Chi Yuan were just ordinary people and birds... Chi Yuan died of old age first, and Lian Shan's days were numbered as well.

Some time later, the immortal Chi Yuan returned from her travels, only to find that all the familiar faces were gone... She and the now aged Lian Shan found Chi You's corpse in the deep sea.

Meanwhile, Jiuyou had already been swallowed by Chiyou.

At that time, the Crimson Kite Immortal understood everything... Danzhu, Cangxuan, and Jilin sealed Chiyou with their lives. The Crimson Kite Immortal told Lianshan about this, and then Lianshan engraved all his longing on the Crimson Kite hair ornament that he had never been able to give away, and entrusted the hair ornament to the Crimson Kite Immortal, hoping that the Crimson Kite Immortal could give it to Jilin and bury it with Jilin.

However, the Crimson Kite Immortal could not find Ji Lin's remains, and in the end, he left dejectedly. Although the Crimson Kite Immortal did not find Ji Lin, Lian Shan firmly believed that Ji Lin was in the Nine Netherworlds.

Lian Shan searched everywhere outside the Nine Netherworld, only to find he couldn't enter. He later learned that the Nine Netherworld was sealed by Dan Zhu and the others, and only by using Honkai energy could one enter. But Lian Shan was just an ordinary person...

Finally, Lian Shan piled up stone tablets near the outer edge of the Nine Netherworld, recording Ji Lin's story... Even as Lian Shan died of old age outside the Nine Netherworld Gate, he never gave up searching for Ji Lin.

As Fu Hua spoke, her voice became somewhat low. Finally, she took off the hair ornament that bound her long hair and held it in her hand for a long time without saying a word.

Lian Shan, Ji Lin, Dan Zhu, Cang Xuan... Fu Hua can no longer remember what they look like, but she can still feel the heartache.

"What a poignant story..."

Mei and Kiana were moved, and Himeko and Bronya were silent for a moment.

After pausing for a moment, Fu Hua put away her hair ornament, adjusted her glasses, and then walked to the next stone tablet to continue deciphering the inscription.

"I did not find Ji Lin's remains, and her only possession, the Xuanyuan Sword, is also missing. The only thing I can do for my wife is to erect a stone tablet here, tell her story, and carve a statue of her favorite red kite bird to accompany her forever."

"The Red Kite is Ji Lin's beloved bird. It is said that the name comes from one of her former friends, but I think this friend must be the Red Mandarin Duck Immortal."

“Descendants who have come from afar, the red kite will guide your way.”

The inscription on the stone tablet ended, and Kiana and the others stayed behind to process the story that the stone tablet recorded about Fu Hua.

"So Ji Lin's remains have disappeared? And the Holy Mark is gone too, right? In the end, we came back empty-handed." Ji Zi sighed regretfully. She was angry but also helpless.

Seeing Himeko's dejected state, Kiana tried to encourage her. "Don't give up, Himeko! Let's continue exploring along the stone tablet; perhaps we'll find something else?"

"All right..."

Kiana and the others entered the stone gate and followed the guidance of the red kite to find a huge red kite statue. However, behind the red kite was a dead end.

Wow, what a huge red kite!

"So what if it's big... it's just a statue. Looks like we've really come up empty-handed. Let's go and prepare to head back."

Ji Zi sighed. Even Lian Shan couldn't find Ji Lin, so how could they possibly find Ji Lin by following the clues left by Lian Shan?

"No, wait a minute. Bronya noticed something was wrong with the wall behind the Red Iris."

"Really?" Himeko curiously picked up her greatsword and poked it against the wall. "Nothing special about it."

"So you've finally come looking for me, you filthy humans?"

"Huh? What's that sound?" Himeko looked around in confusion.

"The stone wall is glowing!" Mei exclaimed.

Bronya activated the instrument and scanned the stone wall. "Honkai energy reaction increased; the stone wall seems to be reacting to the Honkai energy on Himeko."

Suddenly Kiana shouted in a panic and tried to reach out to pull Himeko towards her.

"Get away from the wall, Himeko!"

But it was too late; Himeko was sucked into the stone wall.

"Himeko has been sucked into the stone wall!"

"If people with Honkai energy can be sucked into the stone wall, then we can too! Hurry and chase after them!" Kiana shouted urgently, then led the way and rushed in, with the others following closely behind.

Upon entering the stone wall, a completely different world unfolds, with many different islands suspended in the air, connected by strange spatial portals.

Kiana and the others entered less than a minute after Himeko, but Himeko was already nowhere to be seen.

Chapter 110A-310

Kiana and the others spent over an hour teleporting between islands, only to end up back where they started.

After returning to their original location, the group discussed the situation. In the end, Fu Hua recorded the group's movements and finally discovered the mystery.

On the way, Fu Hua sensed that this might be set up according to a Bagua formation, and that it was the kind of Bagua formation that sealed something.

After seeing the route map, they were even more certain that it was a Bagua formation used to seal away evil spirits, and it should be Chi You that was sealed away. However, Ji Zi's whereabouts were still unknown, so everyone began to search for a way out based on the Bagua formation route that Fu Hua had deciphered.

----------

Outside the Nine Netherworlds, Theresa was peacefully napping on Judah's lap. Theresa had originally invited Jiuxiao and Huihuo to join her, but Jiuxiao, thinking that Kiana and the others were still exploring the ruins, couldn't possibly rest secretly, and firmly refused Theresa's invitation.

After being rejected by Jiuxiao, Theresa realized that it was not nap time, so she lay in Judas's arms, took out a comic book, and placed the communicator aside, ready to receive messages from Kiana and the others at any time.

As a result, even with Judas's attentive care, Theresa still drifted off into a deep sleep...

As expected of Theresa, both Jiuxiao and Huihuo rolled their eyes in exasperation. Judah, however, didn't care at all, since in her opinion, children still needed to get enough sleep.

Theresa was asleep, and Judas was even gently singing a lullaby to help her fall asleep. This made Huihuo drowsy too, so Jiuxiao had no choice but to offer his thigh as a lap pillow for Huihuo.

"Remember to let me know if anything happens. I'm going to take a short nap."

"it is good."

After receiving Jiu Xiao's reply, Hui Huo arched his back, getting even closer to Jiu Xiao, and then reached out to hug him.

"What are you doing?"

"That's enough, let me hold you for a while."

"Fine..."

Jiuxiao pinched Huihuo's little face, this time he was indulging her.

Judah looked at the two people in their ambiguous position, glanced at Jiuxiao with disdain, and then said sarcastically.

"Tsk, your industry is really messy."

Jiuxiao reached out and tapped Judah's stupid head, replying irritably.

"You should take care of your daughter first!"

"Hmph, Theresa isn't my daughter. If anyone is a daughter, it's Karen's."

"Hmm? Tell me more, how come she's Karen's daughter? I thought Theresa was some kind of descendant of Karen."

"Well... I don't know if I can say this, but the higher-ups at Destiny know Theresa's background, so it shouldn't be a secret. I'll just tell you."

When I was still in my original weapon form, Otto gave me to Theresa, who had only recently been adopted as his granddaughter. From that time on, I have always stayed by Theresa's side.

Theresa often suffered from gossip from others since childhood. Although they were all afraid of Otto and dared not do anything to Theresa, their undisguised fear and malice still hurt Theresa deeply. I learned about Theresa's story from those rumors and my own investigation.

Theresa is a synthetic human created by Otto using Kallen's cells and Honkai Beast cells, codenamed A-10. Among the Kallen clones created by Otto, only A-310 and A-303 possess complete consciousness.

As children, A-310 and A-303 became very good friends, sharing everything and being extremely close. However, Otto didn't believe this batch of experimental subjects was successful and ultimately decided to dispose of them, so he made the A-series experimental subjects kill each other. The killing continued until only A-303 and A-310 remained for a final duel. A-310 defeated A-303, but at the last moment before delivering the fatal blow, A-310 threw away the dagger in his hand.

Theresa's beautiful moments

At that moment, Otto saw Kallen in A-310. He felt that A-310 was Kallen's reincarnation, so he named her Theresa Apocalypse and adopted her as his granddaughter. A-303, on the other hand, is Otto's current secretary—Amber Apocalypse.

Although Theresa didn't kill Amber, their friendship was never the same again, and they eventually drifted apart.

I dislike Otto, I dislike him terribly. He conducted countless experiments on Theresa, causing her unspeakable suffering. Even now, though Otto sees Theresa as his emotional support and tries his best to be good to her, I still cannot approve of him.

Judas gently stroked Theresa's cheek. Although Theresa didn't resent Otto, the pain Otto had caused her was still a fact. All Judas could do was try his best to refrain from smashing Otto's steel face when they met.

"Was Theresa's past really that tragic?" "Theresa is so pitiful..." Jiuxiao and Huihuo looked at Theresa with a hint of pity in their eyes.

Just then, an untimely voice rang out.

"Ha, no resentment? How could that be! I don't believe Theresa wouldn't resent Otto." The Herrscher of Corruption, bound by Judas, awoke and sneered at the crowd. "Do you believe I have no hatred? Blood debts must be repaid in blood!"

Hiyomaru kicked Theresa awake, who was still fast asleep. Under Theresa's bewildered gaze, Hiyomaru pressed his head against Theresa's head.

Sensing something was wrong, Jiuxiao flung Feiyuwan away, and Judah immediately activated his binding power to imprison her again. Huihuo also summoned Sabayou and aimed it at Feiyuwan.

Although everyone acted quickly, Hiyomaru's corrosive power had already invaded Theresa's mind. In Theresa's memories, Hiyomaru saw...

"Found it! I've successfully found the resentment in your heart!"

This man named Otto not only severely harmed your body, but also took the life of the person you cherished. Have you forgotten Cecilia, Theresa?

"Heh, the same fate as Sakura... having your beloved taken away by your own family. How could you not feel hatred after something like that?"

"You want revenge but don't have enough power, do you? Theresa, if you accept me, you can gain my power! Let's go together and kill those we hate!"
