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

It can also transform the soul steel into other shapes based on the owner's affinity.

Cecilia wields this divine key in the form of a knight's lance.

The only flaw of this replica is that the powers it can control have an upper limit, but this "limitation" can be considered infinite even for Cecilia.

Therefore, the true ownership of the Divine Key has no effect whatsoever.

The truly enormous change was to the original Kiana Kaslana.

She will no longer have to go through those hardships in her life. By changing her name and identity, she can have a childhood in harmony with her parents. Under the witness of the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny at this stage, she can take her mother's place and fulfill her own dream.

This is undoubtedly a good thing.

But what follows is a dramatic shift in the world line, changes in the names of familiar people, and even the meaning of their birth.

Su Qing'an could not bear to witness the predetermined tragedy unfold, but she did feel a sense of melancholy and sorrow as the little she knew Kiana possessed was gradually stripped away.

But... it doesn't matter.

Only our side will know all of this.

And from the very beginning, he had said that to that person.

You are a very important friend to me, and that has nothing to do with your name, your life, or your past.

So it doesn't matter if all of this is turned upside down.

This doesn't mean the other person's demise; it simply means they've received a life-changing opportunity.

Su Qing'an personally used his Manas consciousness to examine Cecilia and Siegfried's personalities. He understood that as long as the Kiana he knew was successfully born and then handed over to this family, no matter what name she was given, she would have a more real and happier life than before.

The only obstacle after setting aside these subtle emotions is how to bring the familiar Kiana into the world while eradicating the Second Herrscher's evil intentions and not letting her die.

Sirin and Kiana, Mei and Raiden Mei.

Both of these characters are theoretically impossible to exist independently in a single timeline.

However, once it is verified that the world allows for two completely identical soul maps, the trolley problem can be solved, the situation can be broken in an extremely violent way, and a win-win situation for all existence can be achieved.

Su Qing'an rubbed his temples, threw the empty metal can into the trash can, and sighed:

"almost."

Whether it's the successive births of Zhenqi and a series of acquaintances, the outbreak of the second Honkai, or the appearance of the Herrscher of the Void, all these events that he needs to care about and pay attention to will end within ten years.

Once we get through this period, the future is up to us to decide.

Su Qing'an suddenly remembered something. Several years ago, he had deliberately made a trip to this country to help Himeko Murata's mother recover from her frail health and prevent her from dying of illness. He said quietly:

"If I do the math, Himeko-nee is eight years old now."

This bizarre sense of inversion is destined to make it impossible to maintain the original relationship.

But if this worldline reset allows the other party to let go of their original regrets and embrace some happiness that many people take for granted, then such a price is not worth it.

Upon closer reflection, it seems that most of the people I know do not have happy families.

If they were given a chance to turn back time, they would probably choose the future and path that Su Qing'an is now paving for them.

He wanted both Seele and Bronya to have complete families.

However, the latter, with ample information, finds it relatively easy to execute this action, while the former, lacking guidance from future information, struggles to quickly locate relevant individuals and prevent them from becoming displaced.

But in any case, this will be a gentler world than before.

What was the result?

A familiar voice interrupted Su Qing'an's thoughts. He looked towards the person who had come and saw his wife wearing a white dress with fringes.

Her slender figure became even more defined in the breeze, outlined by the fabric. Her long, winter-grey hair cascaded down her back, and she wore sandals that revealed her glistening toes, creating a picturesque scene against the bright blue sky.

Fu Hua's slender hands were carrying several leather bags filled with the latest seasonal clothing. Since getting married, she seemed to have become more particular and attentive to such outfits and tastes than before.

In the past, these were merely insignificant links in the vast and boundless knowledge that the Crimson Kite Immortal possessed, but now they have become an integral part of his daily practice.

The girl's smile was faint, her lips had a beautiful matte finish, and she looked pink and tender. She tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear, and her eyes reflected the other person's face, like clear lake water.

Su Qing'an took the bag from her hand and replied:

"Yes, as expected, everything went smoothly."

"Once we consider what will happen next, we can truly let go."

The immortal generously allowed the other to take the bag, keeping one for himself and placing it in his arm, softly replying:

"I hope everything goes smoothly."

"We go home."

"Or should we go to St. Freya Academy?"

St. Freya Academy.

This academy has a history of nearly ten years. During this time, both students and teachers have undergone changes, and it has indeed contributed to world peace.

Theresa Apocalypse.

The founder of the original online St. Freya Academy became the first graduate of the academy. Currently, she is an S-rank Valkyrie serving in Schicksal. It is estimated that she may return in a few decades to inherit the position of the academy's headmistress.

And now...

At least nominally, Su Qing'an is the headmaster of the academy.

Although he himself is somewhat inclined to hand it over to Theresa and draw a circle in the original history, realistically speaking, she is not yet suitable for this position at this stage.

But time will eventually tell.

After altering so much of history, Su Qing'an no longer harbored the naive expectation that his former acquaintances would still hold the same positions.

This is an act of imprisoning oneself in past memories; there is no need to forcibly maintain the original state.

Su Qing'an recalled today's itinerary and said:

"Let's go to the academy first, and take Xiaoxi home for now."

"After all, Ritsuki is still waiting."

Fu Hua sighed:

"Why hasn't this child graduated after ten years?"

Su Qing'an thought about it and felt that the blame should probably be placed on him. He was the one who sealed most of the child's intelligence with the Manas consciousness, and he was also the one who originally planned to use the [Holy Mark] to create a virtual panel and play a teenager's mode point-adding game as a balance.

However, because Otto dismissed him from his position as headmaster, and because creating this thing was too troublesome, his original plan to create a stat allocation panel using [Stigmata] was scrapped.

However, even so, he only sealed the other party to a slightly higher level than normal people using his Manas consciousness, not turned the child into a simpleton.

Su Muxi couldn't figure out why she hadn't graduated; it was all because she hadn't studied properly.

He said quietly:

"Good question."

"It's probably because her sense of time is different from that of normal children."

“The last time I saw Xiaoxi reading an English book, she probably turned a page and looked at it for five minutes before closing it.”

Fu Hua asked:

"and then?"

Su Qing'an continued:

"Then I asked her why she didn't memorize them all at once, and she said that memorizing thirty words in a year would be very diligent, and she couldn't be too rushed."

The girl was silent for a moment, then explained:

"Is it possible that this is Xiaoxi's reasonable understanding of how immortal beings should spend their lives?"

Su Qing'an hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Is it possible that this attitude is why the child could continue to fail exams for ten years without any restraint?

after all……

Every time the other child failed an exam, they would still eat a lot of food and snacks when they got home, and their parents never complained, especially one of them who was very gentle.

This pampering made Su Muxi completely unaware that failing to graduate was something that needed to be punished.

34. Eternal friendship.

Su Qing'an felt it was necessary to get this child to graduate within the next ten years; otherwise, thinking about it carefully, making her an older senior like Bronya, Seele, Kiana, and Mei could easily turn into a strange situation.

"Let her study hard when she gets home."

Fu Hua took out her phone and scrolled through her messages. She remained pessimistic about the situation and said:

"So, what method do you plan to use to encourage her to work hard this time?"

Su Qing'an thought for a moment and said calmly:

"It's very simple."

"Since Xiaoxi approaches learning efficiency with her own set of longevity-based thinking, then punishment measures can also be implemented in accordance with this set of thinking."

"If she fails one subject, her sense of taste will be sealed away for ten years."

He paused, then said quietly:

"According to her theory, this time is very short no matter how you look at it."

Fu Hua remained silent, deeply shocked.

For Xiaoxi, this punishment was practically hell.

However, she also had to admit that she had indeed spoiled the child too much over the years, and since the child was a conscious being, many taboos that ordinary people need to be bound by should not apply to him, so she had always been in a permissive attitude towards him.

Well, for example, not liking to eat vegetables, liking to stay up late playing games, always overeating, and occasionally skipping classes...

Su Muxi has lived a very free life for nine hundred years in every sense. Occasionally, we should show her the demeanor of a parent and lower her threshold for happiness. Think about it carefully, sealing off your taste buds for ten years before eating hot pot is definitely not the same as eating it every day!

This is a good thing!

On the other hand, although Su Qing'an is very mysterious as the headmaster of the academy, and basically no one in the academy knows of his existence, he still holds the position for the time being.

Therefore, under such circumstances, the fact that the school principal's daughter failed to graduate for ten consecutive years would be considered a shocking scandal that needed to be deliberately covered up in some dramas.
