Honkai Impact 3rd: Chiyou's Survival Guide

"Even after leaving Taixu Mountain and Shenzhou, I can still fight against the disaster brought by the collapse in other places."

Hearing this, Ji Lin felt very uncomfortable. She realized that this time, it seemed that the omnipotent Chi Yuan Immortal was wrong.

Chapter 133 Uninvited Guest

Since Fu You's escape from Shenzhou, Ji Lin, bearing the Xuan-Yuan Sword, has guarded the Nine Netherworlds, slaying countless Honkai beasts from the sea. Ji Lin fulfilled her vow, steadfastly fighting the Honkai until her final moments. Fu You, likewise, lived up to his promise. After Ji Lin's death, he buried her on the land where she had dedicated the rest of her life, taking the Xuan-Yuan Sword with him, hoping to carry on Ji Lin's legacy. However, for years, few found a match for Fu You, either lacking character or skill—in short, unworthy of Ji Lin's legacy. Finally, Fu You met a young woman named Xiao Yun, and just as he was about to approach her, he was intercepted by the Red Kite Immortal. One day, after wandering the world with no success, Fu You had an idea. Rather than wander aimlessly searching, he could alter history, making Ji Lin's deeds a myth, inviting humans to seek him out. Therefore, to highlight the power of the Xuan-Yuan Sword and the preciousness of Ji Lin's legacy, Fu You made several inscriptions in the history books. [Thousands of years ago, with the Xuan-Yuan Sword gifted by the Red Kite Immortal, Ji Lin battled Chi You in the Nine Netherworld. The two sides clashed for a long time, the sky crumbling and the earth cracking, with no clear winner. Until the Red Kite Immortal arrived and slew Chi You, Ji Lin and the Xuan-Yuan Sword disappeared.] Naturally, many interested individuals noticed this, but the vast majority didn't even know where the true "Nine Netherworld" was, let alone pass the trial. Time passed, and still no one could pass the lowered standards of the trial, so Fu You could only let things take their course. Until now, Fu You felt he had met the perfect candidate—Ji Zi. Ji Lin had dedicated half his life to fighting the Honkai, while Ji Zi had given up a comfortable researcher's life to receive artificial stigmata and become one of the Chargers' Valkyries. In Fu You's view, both shared a sense of nobility, both willing to sacrifice for the sake of protection. Naturally, when Ji Zi was undergoing the trial of the Xuanyuan Sword, Fu You would never allow any uninvited guests to disturb her.

At this moment, on the coast of Jiuyou.

"Fu You, it's bad! According to the data just detected by the satellite, a large number of anti-entropy force signals have appeared near the sea area where you are now!" At this moment, as the communicator turned on the projection, Theresa's anxious voice also came over.

"I've already asked Miss Yaezakura to go and provide support. You must protect Himeko and the others!" "You're familiar with that Pseudo-Herserker? Does Otto know about this?" Hearing this, Fu You looked at Theresa's projection with interest, a hint of mischievous amusement rising in his heart: If the Bishop of Heaven's Destiny knew that his granddaughter had become friends with the Pseudo-Herserker of the Honkai side, would he still be able to maintain his usual elegant demeanor? "...Where are you focusing on?" Theresa was choked by Fu You's words and sighed helplessly.

"The key point is that the Anti-Entropy Mecha Force has already set out for the Nine Netherworld area!" "Don't worry, it's just a few mechas, don't worry about it."

Looking into the distance, Fu You spoke slowly, not seeming to care at all.

"That's the anti-entropy mecha army, you..." Theresa wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Fu You.

"Theresa, I say, more than ten years have passed, have you forgotten the second great collapse?" Sensing a large amount of collapse energy signals in the distance, Fu You smiled contemptuously. As long as he wanted, those scrap metals would all be broken here forever within a few breaths.

"The anti-entropy mecha troops, huh, how are they better than Cecilia? How are they better than Walter? How are they better than the Red Kite Immortal?" Fu You's question successfully confused Theresa.

"Oh, right..." After a long pause, Theresa nodded. Fu You's long, affable demeanor and gentle demeanor had made Theresa subconsciously forget his earlier behavior. During the Second Collapse, he had defeated Walter, Cecilia, Siegfried, Theresa, and many other powerful figures. He was the Second Herrscher's most capable and extremely powerful companion.

"That being said, you should still be careful. I heard that Anti-Entropy's mecha technology has improved recently."

Theresa was still a little worried. After all, Jizi, Kiana and the others were still in Jiuyou and had not come out.

"Anti-Entropy's mecha is powered by Honkai energy, and my moves are also activated by Honkai energy. We both utilize Honkai energy, so why don't I ask Anti-Entropy if it's afraid of me?" Fu You spoke arrogantly. In the entire Anti-Entropy, only Walter is respected. As for the other guys... together, they can't pose any threat.

"However, I don't have time to play house games with those people from Anti-Entropy. I need to personally receive the uninvited guests from your Destiny headquarters."

Glancing at Theresa's projection, Fu You added.

"So, it will be normal for a Honkai beast riot to occur here later."

"Has anyone from headquarters arrived?" Theresa was a little confused. She had clearly not reported to Otto about the plan to find the legendary Ji Lin's original holy mark, and Otto had not informed her of the news of anyone coming from headquarters.

"That's Rita Rossweisse, the lieutenant of the Undying Blade. How interesting! Since they sent out an S-rank Valkyrie, that blond kid must be aware of the situation here."

Fu You had to admit that the Bishop of Destiny was really disgusting - he wanted to kill him, but he only had a body of soul steel. He wanted to occupy his headquarters, but he blew up his own home first, and now he was lingering around like a piece of psoriasis... Disgusting, so disgusting... In thousands of years, Fu You had never met such a disgusting guy.

"Golden-haired...boy? Who is that?" Theresa asked after being confused for a moment.

"Oh, it's your grandpa."

Fu You waved his hand nonchalantly, not thinking there was anything impolite about it.

"See you later, Theresa. I'll go and entertain the uninvited guests first."

After hanging up the phone, Fu You looked at the shadows slowly descending in the sky, lost in thought.

An hour ago, in the bishop's office at the Mandate of Heaven headquarters.

"Your Excellency the Bishop, are you looking for me?" Rita said softly, bowing gracefully to the blond man opposite her.

"That's right, Rita, my lovely granddaughter, has another wonderful idea of ​​hers. She wants to go treasure hunting in the Netherworld."

Otto frowned and looked a little tired.

"That's nothing, but she's been getting close to a Pseudo-Herrscher lately. You know, a child like Theresa is at a rebellious age..." Rita waited patiently, awaiting Otto's next words. Otto had extremely complicated feelings for Yaezakura. She was Kallen's true love, yet she was also the trigger that sent Kallen to the gallows... "The secret treasure of the Nine Netherworld is just a legend. Let Theresa play with it, so it's no big deal. Rita, your mission this time is to test the Pseudo-Herrscher that Theresa just sent to the Nine Netherworld."

After rambling on for a long time, Otto turned his gaze to Rita and spoke.

Chapter 134: Honkai Beast Addicted to Role Playing

Above Jiuyou, Tianming's aircraft was floating in the sky. According to calculations, this was the path that Theresa's pseudo-herrscher must pass through. In about half an hour, they would be able to intercept him here.

"Deputy Captain, we have arrived above Shenzhou Jiuyou and are expected to..." Before the pilot could finish his words, the aircraft fell straight down as if something had broken down.

"What's going on?" Rita asked immediately after noticing something was wrong.

"Honkai energy! A large amount of Honkai energy is affecting the instruments in the aircraft. We have no choice but to make an emergency landing!" The pilot sweated profusely. Everything had been normal just a moment ago, but suddenly they were faced with a powerful Honkai energy field. They felt as if they were being targeted by something.

"Buzz--" As the aircraft had just landed, a powerful slash was heard from afar, rushing straight towards them.

"Danger!" Sensing an attack approaching from a distance, Rita pulled the driver up and dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the terrifying slash.

"Boom--" The entire aircraft exploded directly, debris splattered everywhere, and the pilot fainted in Rita's arms.

"This is Shenzhou. You uninvited fellows are not welcome here, Valkyrie of Destiny."

Just when Rita was at a loss, a cold voice came from not far away. Looking in the direction of the voice, Rita was surprised to find that a woman in a dark green dress, with long gray hair flowing behind her and blue eyes, like an immortal, was slowly approaching her.

"Who are you?" Rita asked cautiously, feeling the powerful aura emanating from the other party.

"I'll keep my name, and I'll tell you what I am. My name is Fu Hua, from Taixu Mountain. I despise you, the trash of Tianming!" The "Fu Hua" before him spoke arrogantly, creating a stark contrast to her ethereal appearance. In reality, the so-called "Fu Hua" was Fu You in disguise. The real Fu Hua was presumably still on Taixu Mountain, continuing her leisurely life. Of course, it's also possible that she accepted Otto's invitation and arrived at Tianming headquarters. After all, changing one's appearance and demeanor was not difficult for Fu You, especially when posing as the Chiyuan Immortal, whom she was so familiar with. This ink-and-wash attire was a reflection of the Chiyuan Immortal's most aloof and powerful period in Fu You's memory. Now, in the eyes of the Tianming group, Fu You looked exactly like Fu Hua.

"Fu Hua..." Hearing this, Rita narrowed her eyes. She felt very familiar with this name. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through her mind, and Rita suddenly recalled the other person's deeds.

"Senior Fu Hua, why do you have to come this far? The Bishop has been waiting for your return."

Recalling that Fu Hua was the person the bishop personally wanted to recruit, Rita advised.

"Return? If I were to return, I should return to Taixu Mountain. What is your destiny?" Fu You said coldly with a disdainful smile.

"Your damn bishop, the little thief Otto, is selfish and excludes dissidents. Didn't he do enough dirty things during the Second Great Collapse?" Disguised as "Fu Hua", Fu You completely unloaded his burden and shouted unscrupulously, his words and actions revealing a domineering feeling.

"Oh, you actually want to recruit me... A real man is born between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and inferior to others for long?" Pointing at Rita, Fu You smiled evilly.

"Tell that blond bastard that unless he steps down as bishop and lets me take over, I won't be able to change my destiny!" "...Senior Fu Hua, you're going too far."

Even though Rita was very well-mannered, she felt a little angry and said angrily because of Fu You's deliberate harassment.

"Too much? There are even more excessive ones!" Looking at Rita with contempt, Fu You clenched his fists, grinned, and attacked fiercely.

"Inch Force, Cloud Mist!" Rita's pupils narrowed slightly at the sight of Fu You's powerful punch. Previously, she had doubted the identity of "Fu Hua," but after witnessing her expertly executed Inch Heart Fist, she was certain it was the Fu Hua the bishop had spoken of. While she didn't know why she had become so different from the "gentle," "resolute," and "taciturn" person the bishop had described, Rita could only attribute it to her changing temperament over the years.

"Bang--" The sickle caught the opponent's attack, but the remaining force directly knocked Rita away. Rita staggered backward, but saw the opponent's next attack coming.

"Inch force, thunderbolt!" Fu You growled, swung his fist again, and hit Rita hard, mocking her.

"Is this the so-called S-Class Valkyrie? She's far inferior to Cecilia. Tianming is still too weak. Let Taixu Mountain handle the heavy lifting of the Honkai!" "Damn..." Rita's face turned cold at the taunt. As an S-Class Valkyrie specialized in assassination, she excelled at stealth and assassination over direct combat, but Fu Hua didn't offer her a chance. If it were Bianca, surely it would have been easier? Subconsciously, Rita thought of her good friend, the most gifted girl in Tianming.

"How dare you be distracted while fighting against an immortal?" A cold voice sounded in her ears, and Rita thought to herself that something was wrong.

"Inch power, open the sky!!" The fist force poured out, and in an instant, Rita was knocked away, and the sickle fell to the side.

"Cough, cough..." Rita struggled to get up, but was kicked to the ground again.

"A mere destiny, yet you dare to act so presumptuously when you come to this immortal's territory?" Fu You became more and more excited as he played, completely putting himself into the role of the Chiyuan immortal.

"Even if your bishop comes, he will bow down before this Immortal!" "Damn it..." Rita clenched her fists, helpless against the "Immortal" before her. Hadn't they already lost most of their power during the Second Collapse? Why was they still so powerful? This thought horrified Rita. "Fu Hua" before her was only in her weakened state. She couldn't imagine what the Red Kite Immortal must have been like in his prime. Meanwhile, Fu You, absorbed in role-playing, was unaware that he had unknowingly boosted the Red Kite Immortal's combat power. Sensing the fierce battle between the Anti-Entropy troops and the Collapse Beasts in the distance, and glancing at his own attire, Fu You had a new idea.

"How dare the mere Anti-Entropy and Honkai Beasts act so presumptuously in this immortal's territory!" Fu You spoke righteously, selectively ignoring the fact that he was the one who summoned the Honkai Beasts.

"Now that you're here, let's all stay here."

Under Rita's horrified gaze, Fu You leaped up, hovering high in the sky, pointing toward the distant sea with a grin. Instantly, Fu You was surrounded by a layer of brilliant light. The surrounding space seemed shrouded in a mysterious power, and the air seemed to condense.

"Taixu Sword God!"

Chapter 135 Tampering

"Those rubbish Valkyries definitely don't know that they have been surrounded by us for a long time!" On the outskirts of Jiuyou, a large number of anti-entropy tactical mechas gathered here. In front of the mechas, Xing Mal licked his lips excitedly and spoke complacently.

"What they're doing now is all in vain. Once the Xuan-Yuan Sword reappears, it will be my turn to reap the rewards..." Xing stared into the depths of the Nine Netherworld, her determinate expression. From her perspective, everything was already a foregone conclusion. Under the advanced mecha troop dispatched by Mother Cocolia, even the Valkyries would be forced to surrender.

"By the way, let's kill Bronya this time!" Patting his head, Xing seemed to remember something and laughed morbidly.

"Unless, unless she..." "Roar—" Just as Xing was still lost in her own fantasy, an inopportune roar echoed from all around. Looking up, Xing saw a dense swarm of Honkai beasts surrounding the Anti-Entropy tactical mecha unit, just as the mecha unit had surrounded the Valkyrie.

"What? Where did all these Honkai Beasts come from? Tactical mechas, open fire!" Seeing this, Xing was shocked and immediately ordered to attack. The tactical mechas immediately formed a formation, suppressing the Honkai Beasts' advance with powerful firepower. However, the Honkai Beasts surged in like a tide, and in the abyss, countless more Honkai Beasts were ready to join the battle. For a time, the Anti-Entropy forces were beaten back step by step.

"Damn it! Open fire! Tear them apart!" Xing, furious, immediately gave the order when he saw his troops were at a disadvantage. As the mecha troops gathered their formation and stabilized their front, the Honkai beasts' attack slowed.

"A Honkai beast is a Honkai beast, it poses no threat at all... Forget about these ugly monsters, even if a Judgment-level Honkai beast comes, I will still beat it!" Xing said stubbornly, wiping the sweat off his forehead and looking at the Honkai beasts that were constantly being destroyed by the mechas.

"Wait, that's..." Just as the Honkai beasts were fighting fiercely with the Anti-Entropy troops, Xing caught a glimpse of a bright light in the sky from the corner of her eye, and her eyes widened in horror.

On the other side, Ji Zi and his group finally arrived at the place where the Xuanyuan Sword was stored. Unexpectedly, they did not encounter any obstacles along the way, which was too smooth.

"So, isn't the Xuanyuan Sword a legend?" Looking at the golden sword not far away, Kiana covered her mouth in surprise.

"So, Ji Lin's original holy mark is also real?" "Huh..." Looking at the faintly glowing Xuanyuan Sword floating on the stone platform in front of him, Ji Zi took a deep breath, his eyes flashed, and stretched out his hand towards it.

"Om—" The moment Ji Zi firmly grasped the Xuanyuan Sword, a golden light shone, and at the same time, a shadowy figure floated out from the sword. The shadowy figure was dressed in yellow, looking elegant and regal, and had the face of a Shenzhou person.

"Are you a latecomer?" The shadow spoke slowly in the stunned eyes of the group.

"You are..." Seeing the shadow in front of her actually speak, to be honest, Kiana was a little panicked.

"My name is Ji Lin, but my original body died thousands of years ago. What stands before you now is only a projection of my consciousness."

Seeing Kiana and her group on guard, the shadow explained.

"Are you the hero who fought the ancient Collapse Beast Chi You until the Red Kite Immortal arrived and, together with him, killed Chi You?" Ji Zi spoke with admiration, recalling Ji Lin's heroic deeds as recorded in history books. However, upon hearing this, a hint of confusion flashed in Ji Lin's shadowy eyes, and his next words sent a chill down everyone's spine.

"...As a projection, I don't have all the memories of my original body, but I can tell you for sure that I didn't fight Chi You, and the Red Kite Immortal was unable to kill Chi You. And Chi You, from beginning to end, never died."

After pondering for a long time, Ji Lin's shadow slowly raised his head and spoke firmly.

"What, what?" Ji Zi and others exclaimed in disbelief, and they all stood there in a daze.

"Did Fu You ask you to come? My remaining memories tell me that he has a close relationship with Chi You. Perhaps you can ask him for the relevant answers."

Looking at the other party's incredulous expression, Ji Lin suggested and then continued.

"Since you've arrived here and have come into contact with the Xuan-Yuan Sword, it's sufficient to prove that you are the successors my original body has been waiting for. Next, pick up the Xuan-Yuan Sword and continue to fight against Honkai."

After saying that, Ji Lin's shadow returned to the Xuanyuan Sword, leaving Ji Zi and his group standing there looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Forget it, let's get out of here first... It seems that history has gone astray."

Raising the Xuan-Yuan Sword, Ji Zi sighed. She preferred to believe the facts stated by Ji Lin's phantom himself, rather than those recorded and easily tampered with historical records. Although the original stigma hadn't been obtained yet, Ji Lin's words were true, leaving everyone feeling terrified. Furthermore, the Honkai energy here was extremely intense, so Ji Zi prepared to retreat with Kiana and the others.

"Jizi, there are several pieces of soul steel embedded in the wall over there, and there are words engraved on them."

Nearby, the observant Bronya made a new discovery. Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned to the wall, where fragments of soul steel were engraved with bizarre shapes, resembling symbols. [I give this soul steel to you. The world is about to collapse and be destroyed, but the flame of humanity will burn again.] [Cang Xuan, after a long slumber, you will awaken in a new era of civilization.] [You possess foresight and wisdom beyond mortals. You will surely guide the new generation of humanity towards a future different from our own.]... "What do these words mean? I can't understand them at all!" Kiana stared at the soul steel fragments embedded in the stone wall, a look of confusion on her face.

"Um...I saw this kind of font in Mr. Fu You's study before when I was in Changkong City."
