Collapse Iron: As the Balance Envoy, I've joined the chat group

[Big Black Tower: "@AhLeHaLeZiShen, what do you mean?"]

[Ah! Hehe~ Little genius, aren't you very smart? Guess what it is~]

[Group System: "The God of Joy is exceptionally intelligent! The God of Fun is unparalleled in the world! Oh my god, she's as beautiful as a flower!"]

[The Great Black Tower: "..."]

In the group, Aha's laughter was infectious, and even the code of the group system started to laugh. Even the previous praise mode for Black Tower was changed to praise for Aha.

In the live stream room, after a great deal of effort, Zhong Heng finally managed to rescue her from the Sea of ​​Quanta, who was on the verge of fading back into chaos.

At the same time, her existence was reactivated after returning to the tree's side.

After putting away his fishing rod and calming the surging power of destiny within his body, returning to his original state, Zhong Heng slowly approached the man and stood before him.

Leaning closer, he gently stroked the forehead of the person with their eyes closed.

"The shadow of death, like a tide, slowly crept towards me with its cold and merciless majesty, yet I fled, though it may have been pointless."

"I left, and the ripples spread far and wide, like waves smoothing the footprints of a forgotten traveler." — Excerpt from "Ripples on the Dirac Sea" — Jeffrey Landis.

"Welcome back, Ms. Murata Himeko~"

The eyelashes of the sleeping figure trembled slightly after Zhong Heng's fingertips touched her.

She then let out a soft moan and opened her eyes again from the chaotic and empty dream, but her eyes were still somewhat dazed and her consciousness was not yet fully awake.

Zhongheng simply watched with a smile, without urging him on.

After an unknown amount of time, Himeko Murata finally came to her senses. She first stared blankly at her hands, then looked up at Zhong Heng:

"I'm already... and who are you, and where is this place?"

"My students... Where are Kiana and the others? How are they doing?"

Zhong Heng simply smiled gently: "I believe you have heard of the concept of the Imaginary Tree, and the place you are in now is a different branch on the same Imaginary Tree."

"As for me, you can call me Zhong Heng. I'm the one who fished you out of the Sea of ​​Quanta."

"Finally, about your students, and Kiana..."

"They were good people. In the end, they picked up their pens and wrote down the ending they had hoped for."

Himeko Murata visibly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "I see, it seems they really did it, that's great."

"Oh, right, I almost forgot... thank you, Mr. Zhongheng!"

Himeko Murata didn't ask Zhong Heng why, even though he had previously stated that their current location was a different branch on the Imaginary Tree, he was still able to know about her existence and what was happening in her world, and even fish her out of the Sea of ​​Quanta.

Ever since she awoke from her daze, she felt, for some reason, that the person in front of her had a natural quality that made him trustworthy.

It's like... facing your father when you were a child... it makes you feel at ease from the bottom of your heart.

Only Zhong Heng knew that this was simply because Himeko Murata still had some of the balancing power he had previously injected into her body.

After some time, as the power within her gradually dissipated, the feeling disappeared.

However, now that he has established a causal relationship with Himeko Murata, even if that feeling disappears, the connection between them will still remain.

She nodded slightly. "So... what are your plans for the future, Miss Himeko?"

When suddenly asked about her future plans, Himeko Murata was momentarily taken aback, her face showing only confusion and bewilderment.

I thought I was going to die and return to the embrace of chaos, but I never expected that one day I would be saved.

If it were still in the original world, that would be fine, but as the other party said before, this is a different branch of the Imaginary Tree, and we don't know how far it is from our original world. Whether we can go back is still a question.

And he had just "woke up" in this strange world, without an identity or a past. Where should he go from here?

Thinking of all this, Himeko Murata looked at Zhong Heng, who had saved her, with a moment of confusion.

After a pause, Zhong Heng sighed under the other party's intense gaze.

With the intention of seeing things through to the end, he suggested, "Or... why don't you try boarding the 'Pioneer' star train and becoming an anonymous passenger?"

"Oh, right, I almost forgot to tell you, Mr. Walter is also currently on the Star Train."

"Furthermore... on that train, there was also a woman named Himeko who looked very much like you. You can think of her as your counterpart in a different world."

"I think Mr. Walter would be very happy to see you if you choose to board the train."

Then, Zhong Heng gave Himeko Murata a lesson on some common knowledge about this world, as well as the Star Gods and Destiny, and the various forces and factions.

As Zhong Heng explained, Himeko Murata's eyes gradually regained their sparkle.

[Nanxing, the group admin: "@Zhongheng, I can't believe you actually did it! Waaaaah~ Teacher Himeko, welcome back!"]

【Ah! Ha: @Zhongheng Indeed~ My nephew is really spirited, he didn't disgrace Ah Ha at all~】

[Ah, what a joke: "But nephew, I have a better idea~"]

[Ah, what do you say? "Why don't you take the path of 'pioneer'? Ah, I've already enabled the chat group's crossover function for you!"]

[Ah! Ha! Hehe~ If you keep exploring worlds that even Akivili never reached, and keep going, I believe you can surpass Akivili and become the new God of Exploration!]

The chat group kept buzzing with notification sounds, and only then did Zhong Heng have time to check the messages in the chat group.

As soon as I entered the group and saw that very eye-catching name, my vision went black, and I almost thought I was hallucinating.

[Zhongheng: "What's going on? Why is everyone arguing in the group?"]

[Zhongheng: "@Alegeha, when did you join the group?"]

After saying that, Zhong Heng immediately started browsing through the chat history, intending to see what had happened during the time he had successfully recruited Teyvat and Himeko Murata.

After reading it all in one go, Zhong Heng could only remain silent.

After all, no one expected that while he was using the power of pleasure, Aha would come over to join in the fun and discover the chat group on his body.

[Zhong Heng: "@Group system is indeed a useless system. It can't even stop Aha? The group functions still need to be fixed and supplemented by group members!"]

[Group chat system: "(╥╯^╰╥) Feeling wronged.jpg"]
