Just then, Himeko, who was lying on the ground, opened her eyes and looked at the pitch-black environment with confusion in her amber eyes.

"Where am I? What happened to me?"

Himeko sat up, rubbing her head as she recalled her previous memories.

"Himeko-sensei, you're finally awake."

Yuno squatted down next to Himeko, supporting her, her words revealing her concern.

"Yuno, where is this?"

“We’re inside Chi You.” Yuno recounted the events leading up to Himeko touching the stone tablet, then asked Himeko, “Himeko-sensei, are you alright?”

"It's alright now, but I never expected so many things to happen while I was unconscious."

"Himeko, we've finally made contact with you!"

Himeko seemed somewhat surprised when Theresa's voice suddenly came through her headphones.

"Theresa, what's going on?"

Theresa understood that this was not the time to chat, so she explained the situation outside to Himeko.

"So Chi You has been resurrected?"

Ji Zi said solemnly, beginning to think about how to eliminate Chi You, this behemoth.

"Dean, we have found a way to defeat Chi You."

Luo Chen connected to the communication system, repeated what Fu Hua had just said, and asked, "Dean, can the Hyperion's main cannon break through Chi You's defenses?"

"If you turn it on at full power, it's possible, but only two shots."

"Two shots will do. Let's go find a spot."

"I should be the one saying that."

Ji Zi looked at Luo Chen with satisfaction, stood up, patted his shoulder, and smiled, "Then let's go."

"Okay." Luo Chen agreed, then turned to Bronya and Xing, who looked displeased beside her, and asked, "Have you two finished talking?"

"Hmph! For Bronya's sake, I'll reluctantly cooperate with you."

Luo Chen chuckled lightly, said nothing, and walked alone at the front to clear the way.

Arriving at the area with the highest concentration of Honkai energy, Luo Chen shivered as he looked at the enormous and bizarre core hanging above his head.

"Bronya, this is it."

Luo Chen pointed to the heart, signaling Bronya to fire. Bronya didn't hesitate, maneuvering her Heavy Bunny to fire a shot into the heart.

"Lady Theresa, we have detected violent vibrations within Chi You's body."

On the Hyperion, a Valkyrie reports the situation.

"Alright, Hyperion main gun charging, ready to fire."

"Countdown begins. 10, 9... 3, 2, 1!"

"emission!"

As the countdown ended, Theresa gave the order to fire. The main cannon at the front of the Hyperion unleashed its energy, bombarding Chi You's body, creating a large hole, and successfully destroying his first heart.

"Alright, let's go to the next place." Luo Chen looked at the hearts scattered on the ground, relieved that he hadn't been hit, then looked at Xing, who was startled, and teased, "What's wrong? Scared out of your wits?"

"No way!" Xing glared angrily at Luo Chen. "Your destiny's things aren't that powerful."

"Then why are your legs shaking?"

"I want you to take care of it!"

"So where is the other heart?"

Kiana looked at the healed body above her and asked Luo Chen, but he didn't know the answer.

"What! You didn't know!"

“Yeah, that’s right.” Luo Chen said innocently, “I’m not some humanoid detector, how would I know?”

After saying that, Luo Chen stared intently at Xing, making her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Tch, is this your reason for wanting to cooperate with me? How utterly incompetent."

Despite saying this, Xing had already activated the detector and started leading the way from her mech.

"Is this what they call saying no with your mouth but your body saying no?"

Kiana whispered, and Luo Chen, who was standing next to her, twitched his lips and looked at Kiana.

"Where did you learn that phrase?"

"What's wrong online?"

"It's nothing, let's hurry on our way."

Soon, the group arrived at another location of the heart. Just like last time, Bronya fired another shot.

"Lady Theresa, the signal has been received. The main gun is ready."

"Alright, launch!"

Another energy cannon shot was fired, piercing Chi You's body once again and shattering his heart. However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Chi You's recovery speed was much faster than before after his heart was destroyed, and he also reached the shore more quickly.

"what's the situation?"

Theresa was dumbfounded as she watched Chi You accelerate. She immediately ordered Hyperion to keep firing cannons to stop Chi You, but it was to no avail.

Inside Chi You's body, after shattering two hearts, a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared at the location of the second heart, and then gradually materialized under everyone's gaze, turning into a man and a horse.

Feeling the violent shaking around him, Luo Chen immediately sensed something was wrong. Then, seeing Hei Ji Lin in front of him, Luo Chen was speechless.

'Wait a minute! How did Black Kirin get here?'

"Holy crap! What's going on?"

Xing shouted, directing the mech to retreat: "I'm not playing with you guys anymore!"

As she spoke, Xing took out a high-tech box from her pocket and unfolded it: "I'll give you the Xuanyuan Sword and all that stuff, since you can't take it out of here anyway. Goodbye!"

Anzu pressed the button on the box, and she was teleported away along with the mecha, leaving only Himeko and her group behind.

"It's better to leave."

Luo Chen didn't care about the Dao, and took out his weapon to stare at Hei Ji Lin.

"Warriors of the future, what you have just destroyed were the two restrictions I placed to seal Chi You."

Ji Lin spoke, looking at everyone expressionlessly, until he saw Fu Hua, at which point a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

"Red Kite Immortal?"

Fu Hua was startled. Looking at the familiar woman in front of him, he couldn't recall any memories of her. In the end, he looked at her helplessly.

"Have you already forgotten?" Ji Lin sighed, his joy turning into a sigh: "It's good that you've forgotten. But it's been a long time."

After Ji Lin finished speaking, his crimson eyes transformed from gentle to manic. Holding the Black Xuanyuan Sword, he pointed it at the crowd and shouted, "You guys are more suitable as nourishment for my warhorses!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hei Jilin rode his horse towards Luo Chen, who was at the front. After Luo Chen dodged the attack with a roll, Hei Jilin slashed down at Fu Hua beside him with his sword.

Fu Hua raised her hand to restrain Hei Ji Lin, and Ji Zi attacked Hei Ji Lin's warhorse with a slashing motion, cutting the horse once before quickly retreating.

"hateful!"

Enraged, Hei Jilin withdrew her sword and charged straight at Ji Zi, only to be shot in the shoulder by Luo Chen's arrow, nearly falling off her horse.

"you!"

Hei Jilin yanked on the reins, his eyes growing even more frenzied, and the sword in his hand began to ignite as he slashed at the nearest Himeko.

"Himeko-sensei, watch out!"

Mei stepped forward and, together with Himeko, blocked the attack from the Black Kirin. Fu Hua took the opportunity to punch the warhorse, knocking the Black Kirin back.

The three of them worked together to keep fighting Hei Ji Lin, while Luo Chen would occasionally launch a surprise attack, which slowed down Hei Ji Lin's movements.

"It's now!"

Luo Chen seized the opportunity, teleported onto the horse's back, and plunged his sword into Hei Ji Lin's back, pouring Honkai energy into the blade as if it were free.

"hateful!"

Hei Jilin let out a shout and immediately fell down after Luo Chen drew his sword, staring at the sky without moving.

"After thousands of years, am I finally going to die?"

Ji Lin regained his senses, coughed up blood, and said with difficulty, "Thank you for freeing me from the shackles of guarding Chi You's seal."

Luo Chen remained silent. He deeply admired this great man who protected China, and all he could do now was accompany her on her final journey.

"Chi Yuan, Cang Xuan, Dan Zhu, I did it! I protected the Divine Land for the past two years. I have fulfilled my promise to you."

Ji Lin choked up as she spoke, the figures of several people appearing before her eyes. Finally, she seemed to see Lian Shan reaching out to her, and a tear slid down her cheek.

"Lianshan, I can finally come and be with you..."

At this point, Ji Lin looked at Fu Hua beside him, smiled at her, and then turned to look at Luo Chen.

"Successor, I will pass on my power to you, and I hope you will use it well."
