In Karen's presence, Otto will always be Otto.
He might use those shady schemes against her?
Even if Karen had previously allowed Nicholas to issue indulgences, it was none of her business; she bore all the blame alone.
Karen just needs to move forward without a care in the world.
Wait for me, don't leave me.
"Kallen Karen"
The dry sound grew fainter and fainter, easily masked even the whisper of the wind.
Suddenly, a hand landed on Otto's shoulder, followed by a pleasant, melodious voice from behind—
"You run so fast, you're so tired you can't even speak properly, you're just pushing yourself forward. Your mediocre body can't handle this kind of exertion, you idiot."
Otto turned around without hesitation, but because he was exhausted and his vision was blurred, he couldn't see the other person's face clearly.
Karen's voice could only be faintly heard; she had a pair of dazzling, heterochromatic eyes that were exceptionally bright.
"Karen"
"Okay, okay, I know you're calling my name, even though I didn't quite hear you. But I'm here," Su Xin replied gently to Otto.
Otto's eyes lost focus, and Su Xin sighed, so she had no choice but to help Otto rest under a tree.
It took a long time for Otto to regain his senses.
In the instant he regained consciousness, Otto couldn't help but ask: "Kallen, for you..."
Su Xin interrupted Otto angrily: "Because I'm behind you? I've been following you for most of the day, watching you run around panting, and you promise me you'll cherish your life?"
When Otto saw that Su Xin was angry, he lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.
"Isn't that right?"
Otto's obedient attitude in admitting his mistake made Su Xin reluctant to scold him.
Chapter 91 Kallen, the Goddess of Moonlight?
Su Xin hesitated, wanting to rebuke him several times but unable to speak.
Fireflies twinkled in the air. Su Xin sighed, sat down, and leaned against a tree, gazing up at the beautiful, deep starry sky.
The quiet wind around me gently caressed my silver hair and soothed the softest part of my heart.
"Are you tired?" Su Xin asked.
"No, I'm not tired, I've had plenty of rest," Otto replied somewhat flusteredly, stammering.
Su Xin was a little disappointed with this reaction. He originally thought that Otto would become more mature under his guidance, but he didn't expect him to be so easily swayed by emotions.
He cares too much about what others think and seeks self-worth recognition from the outside world. He's not Otto at all. Maybe it's because he cares too much about Karen. He cares so much that he forgets himself.
"Try looking at the stars and relaxing. The constant beads of sweat on your forehead are no lie. At least don't blush when you're lying, sigh."
If things continue like this, he could become a powerful figure and easily capture major villains.
"I got warm from running, and now I'm a bit hot," Otto said, looking down at the ants slowly moving forward on the ground, with a lone green leaf lying beside his feet.
Su Xin did not press further, her gaze settling on the distant moon, a place unknown to most, where countless graves of heroes once lay.
Five hundred years from now, when we meet the Lawbringer of the End again, what will become of the world then?
"Karen, I want to ask, why are you behind me?" Otto asked cautiously.
Su Xin replied calmly, "I have always been here."
"The other me ran too fast and I couldn't stop him. Although I caught a lot of fireflies, when I came to my senses I found that you were no longer in sight. So I took over my body and turned back. But I didn't meet you on the way back."
"In the end, I will only need to use some special means to find you and come behind you. When I see you on the verge of death, you are obviously exhausted and panting heavily, but you are still forcing yourself to move forward."
"If you move forward but end up going astray and going in the wrong direction, no matter how fast you run or how persistent you are, you're just doing useless work."
"You can't do things just because you try. Ha, I'm getting angry. Look at my eyes again and I'll live a good life."
Su Xin opened her eyes wide and stared at Otto.
Their dazzling heterochromatic eyes seemed to radiate a mottled halo of light, mysterious and beautiful.
Otto swallowed hard, a sense of dread creeping into his heart.
"Isn't that right?"
"Does 'yes' mean nothing? Why are you running so fast? Are you afraid we'll leave you behind? You're a grown man, the forest isn't that big, you can't possibly get lost, can you?"
Su Xin's sharp words made Otto even more ashamed.
"Thank you for not abandoning me," Otto said abruptly, realizing something was wrong. If he simply thanked her for not abandoning him, it might seem like he was morally condemning Karen.
Yu immediately changed her tune: "Thank you for coming back to find me."
"Thank you. You're usually quite smart, and you're too complacent without any rivals. Although I have no reason to criticize you, listen to Otto: don't panic when things happen. Think calmly and make the best judgment. As for the price that the so-called best judgment may have to pay, that's a matter for later. No matter what others think, you should trust them and trust your own judgment."
"Like today, knowing that you can't keep up with me on your own, it would be better to stand still and wait for me and Karen to come back. Running with all your might will only lead you astray."
“We won’t blame you for not keeping up. If you make a choice you think is right, or if someone hates or even hates you because of it, then such people are not worth your concern about their opinions.”
"Self-worth needs to be found by oneself. Expecting others to rescue you will only lock you in a deeper and darker cage."
Su Xin taught diligently that the current Herrschers cannot be completely judged as weak. In the early stages, Su Xin did not revert to her original form, which was undergoing repair.
It will probably return during the era of the Thousand Herrschers. The previous Herrschers will need Otto's help to deal with them using reason and wisdom.
Su Xin didn't disbelieve Kiana and the others, but he had indeed witnessed the fall of countless brilliant people from the previous civilization.
Human beings are as insignificant as a drop in the ocean in the long river of history, yet every seemingly casual story symbolizes a profound deed worthy of recognition by the times.
In the original story, the Cocoon of the End acknowledges Kiana, allowing her to seal all Honkai energy on the moon, leading to a happy ending for the story.
This world is different; there is no Cocoon of the End, and Honkai only wants to destroy civilization.
Just as everything in the universe moves from order to chaos, order requires energy to maintain, but energy is limited within a certain space, so order is destined to tend towards chaos.
Honkai is one of the most important driving forces. Human society and even the entire human world need energy to maintain themselves. As energy decreases, order collapses, Honkai descends, and everything will return to the initial chaos. Only by obtaining enough energy from the outside world can we start the next cycle and repeat the same mistakes.
Su Xin dared not place all her hopes on Kiana, the chosen one?
The corrupted world is not like the original story, and is even quite different.
Su Xin didn't understand the reason, so he could only proceed cautiously with each step.
No one knows what the outcome will be. Those who believe in the fidelity of their loved ones may be betrayed, and those who strive for noble ideals may be corrupted and assimilated by the darkness of the world.
No one can predict the future, and even if they could, they might not obey fate.
Therefore, we can only move forward, and keep moving forward.
Only by moving forward can we see the final answer; hesitation and wavering are forever synonymous with nothingness and failure.
Otto listened attentively to Su Xin's words and memorized every single one.
When I get back, I will record all of these words in the eighth edition.
Okay, I'll prepare two hundred books so I can study every night before bed.
The other Karen, as always, is profound in thought.
"Phew, I think I've said a bit too much. Just listen carefully, and don't do anything ridiculous again, understand?"
"Yes, I understand. I promise I won't do it again," Otto replied sincerely.
"Alright, alright, we're all sleepy. Let's take advantage of this time and go explore the depths of the forest! I overheard you all discussing this while on patrol. There's a cave deep in the forest filled with sparkling gems, with cone-shaped stones hanging overhead, and the surrounding high walls also have gems that are clearly visible even without candles!" Karen exclaimed excitedly.
After thinking for a few seconds, Su Xin looked thoughtfully at Otto.
Otto was very familiar with that cool gaze. The first time Karen looked at him, her eyes were like a bonfire, or her words of encouragement clearly conveyed a wealth of emotions.
The second Karen's gaze towards him was unpredictable; sometimes it was fiery and passionate, and other times it looked at him like a stranger.
Sometimes, even though you can tell that the two of you have a good relationship and are close, she deliberately keeps her distance in her words and expressions.
Sometimes, even when the two have conflicting positions and ideas, she doesn't get angry. Instead, she patiently explains things with a strong dialectical flavor.
A friend, a teacher, and someone incredibly important.
Otto took a deep breath and composed himself.
“I think those are non-luminous gems. If they were, the nobles would have kept them secret and collected them all long ago.”
"Hmm, judging from the description, I think it's more like a book bug. The area where the bug lives always has accompanying microorganisms. When these microorganisms are inhaled, they can cause unpredictable negative changes in the human body. Kallen, you Valkyrie, and Kaslana should be fine, but I might not be able to go. My body is just average right now. If I were to go, I would at least have to go home and get a gas mask. Oh, let me explain."
"A gas mask is a type of helmet with protective function. It is worn on the head to protect the respiratory organs, eyes, and face from toxic substances such as poisonous gases, dust, bacteria, and toxic vapors."
Karen: "???"
"Okay, okay, I won't go. I don't understand any of that either," Karen said, scratching the back of her head.
“I can’t go either, but I need to go back and get my gas mask.” Otto made a rational judgment, remaining calm even when facing Karen, the person who had extended the invitation.
Su Xin was satisfied. For someone as intelligent as Otto, every fall made his steps more firm and correct.
Learn from the mistakes of the past to guide the next.
Otto is growing up quickly. He cares about Karen, but he won't blindly follow her. He can make calm judgments in any situation, which is why Su Xin wants to see the results.
"Too much trouble. Can't I protect you with my sword energy?" Karen suggested. Divine essence should be able to suppress so-called microorganisms. Anyway, as long as the divine essence determines that it is harmful to the human body, it will naturally generate excess aggression to block it.
Just give Shenyun a command in your mind.
“No, a gas mask is more reliable,” Otto replied firmly.
Not bad.
"My sword energy barrier is completely impenetrable!" Kallen said with great confidence.
"That's not enough. Just because it's watertight doesn't mean microorganisms won't get in. Karen, you don't even know what microorganisms are, do you?"
"I don't know anything about microorganisms, are they dangerous?"
“Much smaller than water, so your sword aura barrier might not be able to stop microorganisms, Karen,” Otto said calmly.
While Karen and Otto were arguing, Su Xin suddenly spoke up, and her decisive tone immediately revealed that Karen was not a hot-blooded idiot.
"It wouldn't hurt to go and take a look. Divine essence can't stop microorganisms, but if something really happens, Black Abyss White Flower can cure it."
"Alright, let's go! I know where it is!" Otto suddenly stood up and strode forward towards the moon.
Karen paused, followed, and said with a look on her face: "But every key of the gods requires approval. For example, the Heavenly Fire Judgment in my family cannot be used by ordinary people. I haven't tried it yet. It seems that no other member of the family except my father has been approved by the Heavenly Fire Judgment."
"The Oath of Judah and I are compatible, but the Black Abyss is white with flowers."
Karen didn't finish her sentence, leaving Su Xin room to respond.
Su Xin didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "I can fully unleash all the Divine Keys, so there's no need to worry."
"Huh? Why? Could it be that it's been melted down?"
Shh, it's a secret.
Su Xin controlled Karen's body, put her index finger between her lips to make a shushing gesture, and spoke to Karen in a tiny voice that could only be heard.
Karen immediately understood and didn't press the matter further.
Otto currently does not know Su Xin's true identity. With the vast amount of information about previous civilizations provided by the Void Archives, if Su Xin were to confess, Otto would probably be able to easily guess the path she would choose.
The previous time deprivation proves one point.
Su Xin, Otto, and Karen are actually on different sides, but they coexist peacefully because of certain intentional or unintentional lies.
"Hurry up and keep up with Karen, why are you walking so slowly?" Otto turned around and waved to Karen, who was moving slowly behind him as she was thinking.
Karen watched the scene, breathed a sigh of relief, and then naturally smiled.
She understood Su Xin's thoughts: since the future is unpredictable, then do your best to do things in the present so you won't regret them.
Regardless of the outcome, at least I was happy and had no regrets.
That's enough; I think it's worth it.
This is also why Su Xin would take the initiative to suggest going to see it, not only to satisfy Karen's curiosity, but also to ensure that there are no regrets.
"Hmm? I can run fast!" Karen used a Flash Step to rush forward and get to Otto's side.
"Take your time, no rush. There's plenty of time at night. Perhaps the journey itself is a wonderful thing, rather than the unknown destination."
Su Xin slowed her pace and looked up.
