Regarding the question of whether one thousand lives are enough to beat Honkai Impact 3rd.

He even began to suspect that the other party was specializing in a superior sword technique.

In fact, the swordsmanship was only a tiny fraction of what Su Qing'an had learned.

If he wanted, it wouldn't be difficult for him to carve an interior replica of a coffee shop onto an apple using a toothpick.

Fu Xiuran naturally didn't know about these things, but this lifelike cat dish made him think that Su Qing'an could live a life of ease as a plating artist in a restaurant, which seemed to indirectly satisfy her daughter's appetite.

Although the requirements for meeting the criteria have increased, Fu Xiuran doesn't find Su Qing'an any more pleasing to the eye.

Xiaohua is only 15 years old! Early dating is absolutely forbidden.

They actually attacked a child! I really want to call the police.

Completely ignoring the fact that Su Qing'an was also an adult and might not have made a move, Fu Xiuran only felt that the boy's handsome face was becoming more and more repulsive.

But perhaps because of his daughter's visit, the man felt that his body had become much lighter, but he was too preoccupied to notice anything unusual.

Fu Xiuran sat up and finished eating the few cat-shaped apples, chewing them with unusually heavy force.

Hmm, he's probably venting his sadness that his little darling is gradually drifting away from him.

14. Discharged from the hospital, confessed.

For the next week, Su Qing'an and Fu Hua visited Fu Xiuran every day.

Normally, given the boy's personality, if he knew the other party was unhappy the first time he came, he would be very understanding and not come a second time.

Su Qing'an is a very understanding person, but he needs to monitor the other party's physical condition every day to prevent the possibility of the Honkai energy making a comeback.

Therefore, the best way to make contact is naturally to go with Fu Hua to visit the other party.

Having grasped the relative importance of each situation, Su Qing'an didn't mind the potential disdain from the other party.

But what was unexpected was that Fu Xiuran's reaction to his own existence remained lukewarm.

Even if he probably disliked her, she didn't deliberately treat him like he was invisible when they were together.

I still like to ask myself some strange questions.

It seems that, just like the girl's politeness, the man who is a father also has excellent manners.

Martial arts itself is also a kind of spiritual inheritance.

To carry out one's own will and obsession in the act of fighting is an essential quality of a martial artist. If one cannot even find a reason to throw a punch, then one cannot be considered a qualified martial artist.

The girl today is undoubtedly not a qualified martial artist. Even though she has reached the realm of sword heart stillness, and in a sense, she is no less capable than Fu Xiuran in terms of martial arts level, her talent and willpower are not the same.

She is still very young.

Whether it's Su Qing'an or Fu Xiuran, their concerns and worries are completely different.

But without a doubt, in their eyes, Fu Hua is not yet mature enough to be independent.

Both of them tried their best to protect this natural naiveté, hoping that the girl could experience less hardship.

...

...

Fu Xiuran's health improved, and he himself discovered this the very next day.

The strange things inside the body seemed to have been completely drained away, and the body, which had been tempered into a vigorous life force, began to autonomously and desperately absorb nutrients, slowly repairing the damage and injuries during this long period of respite.

The patient's previously poor appetite, which required intravenous fluids, gradually returned to normal, and within a week, the patient recovered to their original healthy state.

On the third day after the little girl came to see him, it was obvious that her father's face was no longer pale, but had a rosy and healthy color, which made her very happy and brought a smile to her face.

That day, she ran home excitedly, intending to cook something delicious for her father herself.

Just as Fu Hua tied her hair into a high ponytail, revealing her fair neck, and was about to show off her skills, Su Qing'an silently took the ingredients and utensils from her hands and said softly:

"I come."

So the girl weighed the trouble of cooking and the difference in their skill levels, and gladly accepted.

After that, when the man praised Fu Hua's improved cooking skills, the girl subtly pointed at Su Qing'an.

How could you have done this?

After this problem arose, Fu Xiuran felt that something was amiss.

But this unease was quickly overshadowed by an unintentional compliment to Su Qing'an's distress.

The man began to recall his own guide to choosing a son-in-law and realized that the young man opposite him seemed to be gradually exceeding the scope in some aspects.

As the meals continued to be irresistible for the next few days, his expression toward Su Qing'an began to change from its previous indifference.

The saying "He who eats another's food is bound to him" perfectly reflects this reality.

Of course, if Fu Xiuran knew that Su Qing'an used his own money to buy cooking tools and ingredients.

If the food had even been baked in their own home, the reaction probably wouldn't be like this now.

The ability to deliver a devastating, inch-force strike might be ingrained in our DNA, leading to an immediate, instinctive reaction.

...

...

The future looks increasingly bright.

But only Su Qing'an, who remained silent, understood that darkness would eventually engulf the world.

Even if he is currently the strongest individual combatant in the world, it cannot change the future in the slightest.

after all……

Just how strong does it need to be, and to what extent?

To what extent must one be invincible? To what distant horizon must one be omnipotent?

Only he could single-handedly reverse the ensuing human calamities.

Su Qing'an didn't know how she could transcend the boundaries of her own self.

He has always worked very hard.

However, all the levels that could be reached were confined within this framework. The boy kept losing and winning, losing and winning, and he saw his limit within this cycle.

Whether it's the Honkai energy or the divine version of the Taixu Sword Qi, both are essentially based on external things.

The former was the first artificial stigmata, while the latter was a gift from the gods.

He was about to reach the upper limit of the Void Sword Qi. After achieving the final Void Realm and the [Sword God], Su Qing'an might be completely trapped in the cage.

The reason is simple: he will lose his direction and motivation, and there will be no way forward.

The immortal.

This is the secret to Fu Hua's immense power and longevity.

There's also the Divine Key.

If we could obtain these things, perhaps this limit could be broken again, but that would only be the ideal situation.

In fact, Su Qing'an had been racking his brains about the possibility of beating the game ever since the restart.

He single-handedly destroyed the collapse of Civilization Plus One.

The condition was so ridiculous it was almost hopeless, so Su Qing'an had never considered wasting time thinking about any possibility of solving the problem.

But now it's different.

Su Qing'an had realized that as long as he didn't give up, the gods would never let him die.

As long as the banner of will has not fallen and the flame of obsession has not been extinguished, one has the value of being restarted and resurrected in the eyes of the gods.

A defeated soul will not be unable to win next time, but a soul that has lost its will is utterly worthless.

So as long as Su Qing'an still has the desire to save the person he loves, he will have to face this despair sooner or later.

Since she would eventually have to face it, Su Qing'an could only choose to accept it calmly.

The previous civilization was defeated.

This is the fact he knows so far.

So whether it's the Key of God or the Immortals, all these legacies are nothing more than countermeasures in failed cases.

In Su Qing'an's view, challenging the Honkai with something that had already been defeated was a hopeless endeavor.

He needs...

He needs more surprises, more variables, and more power.

It's not just the Void Sword Qi of the gods, nor just the immortals, the Key of God, or other powerful weapons from previous civilizations.

Su Qing'an needs something of her own.

Something different from the Honkai energy system.

Even now, he still harbors resentment about it.

Is it really possible to defeat Honkai with the power of Honkai?

If the collapse itself is merely a filtering mechanism, then given the characteristic that the level of civilization progress increases by one, it's not hard to imagine that its reason for existence is to filter the entire civilization.

From Sato Yuno, Su Qing'an understood that the so-called Honkai consciousness really existed.

However, he himself prefers this kind of intelligent management that is similar to this mechanism, which essentially lacks intelligence and strong independent life form dominance, and all its behavior logic and methods can be described as destroying civilization.

The signs of the Herrschers turning against him made Su Qing'an even more uneasy. He knew that Raiden Mei could control the power of the Herrschers, Bronya could control the power of the Herrscher of Reason, and Kiana herself was even more capable.

Even if there are many stories, twists and turns, difficulties and reasons involved.

Ultimately, the Herrschers, who should have been Honkai messengers, became allies of humanity.

Assuming this screening mechanism is functioning correctly, and the power is linked to the Honkai consciousness, and the authority to control endless Honkai energy is in the imaginary space, then why did the Honkai consciousness not react at all after the Herrscher betrayed them?

indeed.

If we follow his theory, then the Honkai consciousness is just an intelligent mechanism, which is easier to fool than a real god, so it's understandable.

However, the fact that one's own power is a gift from this mechanism makes the claim of defeating the Honkai with the power of the Honkai increasingly certain, while also harboring enormous risks.

If these so-called powers and authority contain any hidden tricks, the possibility of humanity defeating the Honkai becomes even more remote.
