Genshin Impact: The Recorder of All Things

Chapter 286 (Note: Subscribing to this chapter mostly results in the following content) Farewell, My Great Inventor

The man who protected the world for five hundred years, and then committed five hundred years of sins, is coming to his end.

Only when a person truly wants to change the world will they realize how insignificant their individual power is.

How many evil deeds must a person commit to bring her back to dawn from the depths of hell?

How far must a person travel to find their original self at the end of time?

The saint sacrificed everything for the people, but what she received in return was endless shackles and nooses.

The world is so chaotic; it is neither fair nor reasonable.

It persecutes heroes, nurtures evil buds, and spreads ugliness everywhere.

"Life... is truly a fragile thing."

"When I was little, my older sister died on the battlefield..."

"They told me that her soul is immortal and that her spirit will ascend to heaven."

"Heh~"

"Generation after generation, humanity has always been happy to deceive itself with such lies, believing in the so-called afterlife and the eternity of consciousness."

"They disguised the world as if death didn't exist..."

“Until death suddenly invaded their lives and befell their loved ones.”

"Even at times like this, they will go to great lengths to deceive themselves—"

"I believe that love can transcend all things, and I firmly believe that affection can last forever."

"Indeed... love, and even more broadly, can bring about miracles..."

"But the creators of miracles can only be those who are 'alive' at that particular moment."

"As an ordinary person who was once deceived by them... I also fantasized that the human soul exists in a higher dimension; I fantasized that one day, my loved one could return to the world with a new body and live a better future."

"Unfortunately, the rules of the world are not like that... Death is indeed the dissipation of consciousness, the end of everything—"

"We cannot continue the starlight that has already faded away."

"Unless—we reverse time, awaken the silent island of graves; and re-infuse the evergreen waters of life into the past that buried everything."

"The doors to the past and the future have been opened, but the price to pay... is nothing more than the death of one person, the destruction of one person..."

"From then on, the future of the world will be full of hope!"

“Theresa, my dear granddaughter. I’ve thought about this for a long time. A saint will always be a saint, and you will become a great leader…”

"Given time, you will eventually make people forget your grandfather."

"Let his merits and demerits be buried in history and disappear as mere gossip."

"But... I should eat some fruits and vegetables other than bitter melon occasionally."

"You always stay up late, your body needs to be supplemented with more diverse nutrients, otherwise you really won't grow tall."

"Regarding the coronation ceremony, Grandpa sewed the archbishop's robe for you by hand... If you don't mind, then use it to start your own era and wash away the stains that Grandpa left on it."

"...Theresa. Grandpa has nothing left to give you but a perfect and flawless ending."

"Go ahead. No matter what you do, as long as you don't give up hope, someone will always cross time and space to come to your side, and they will do everything they can to help you."

"Hehe, my granddaughter, remember not to be too selfish. When someone calls you, remember to respond, because perfection and flawlessness belong to everyone~"

"As for Anti-Entropy, the Herrscher of Reason and the others are trustworthy. They are people that Grandpa admires, true heroes. You should learn from them. They are truly good people and will definitely help you forge your own path."

"Speaking of anti-entropy... Grandpa saw it. You formed a 'Heaven-Defying Organization'... Hahaha, not bad at all. Go and defy the heavens! I believe you can do it!"

"And Bianca, my last student... I manipulated your life, planned your destiny, showing you genuine care and nurturing while using you as a pawn to take advantage of you."

"Do you know... everything I showed you in these last ten years was just so that after I am gone like this, someone could erect a wordless monument for me."

“I don’t need anyone to judge me… After all, these five hundred years, both long and short, are nothing more than what a man can give up for his own wishful thinking.”

An unnamed force flows through the "Tree of Imaginary Numbers," where past, present, future, parallel worlds... all worlds connected by cause and effect converge.

It seems to have created a passage within the "Tree of Imaginary Numbers," through which one can travel to any place and time.

He has now reached the end of his journey. What he wanted to accomplish, what he wanted to witness, what he wanted to redeem... has taken root and sprouted in the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, waiting only for the lost messenger to deliver the final message before everything is over.

From this day forward, hope will live on forever, the future will no longer be dark, and miracles will grace the world.

"Let the imposed sins vanish into thin air, and let the will that has been ended continue forward."

“Despicable things will be buried with me; light will extend into the future because of you.”

"Ha ha... I've fooled my friends, fooled my loved ones, fooled the world and the rules governing it..."

"Just to give the only real you a second life."

“Come back, Karen…”

In the light, "Otto Apocalypse" stood on the church in the town of Krosten. The once peaceful town was now in chaos, with Honkai Beasts rampaging and the people fleeing in disarray.

The plane, which had been flying for a long time, returned to its hometown.

The wind travels through still time.

In a corner of the church, a blond man instinctively looked up at the top of the church and saw someone who looked exactly like him.

"You are... I see..."

The "Otto Apocalypse" standing on the church gave him a smile, and when the wind blew again, everything disappeared.

……

Modern-day Klosten town.

The saint opened her eyes in confusion and saw a dilapidated town altar.

The man's voice echoed in her ears—

"...That's the story. I went to the future, a long, long time from now, and had all sorts of adventures. Finally, I had the opportunity to tell you the truth about the world like this."

"Hehe, don't worry. This time, everything will change because of you."

"Just like a long, long time ago, you changed a certain boy."

"It was a spring morning... He, who was disliked by everyone, met you who had climbed over the wall."

"You greet him warmly and invite him to play with you."

"And at that very moment—"

"This young man found redemption in his life."

Chapter 287 Grandma Karen? No! Mom? That's not right either.

What happened in the end?

Kallen felt like she had just been executed in the town of Klossen, and then the Honkai Beasts invaded, and from then on she was fighting...

Because they were caught off guard and unarmed, the battle was very difficult. Otto tried to pull him away, but he refused, and then there was a child...

Wasn't I dead?

"Karen?"

Theresa landed in front of Karen from the sky on her small transport ship.

"Who are you?" Karen's gaze was somewhat subtle. This child looked a bit like her, and she was also carrying the "Oath of Judah"... Could she be her father's illegitimate daughter? And now she's come to save me?

"My child, you've suffered so much!" Karen rushed forward and hugged Theresa. "Francis, what have you done?!"

(Note: Francis Kaslana, the 29th head of the Kaslana family, and Kallen's father. In 1467, to protect the young Kallen and Otto behind him, he activated the Heavenly Fire Judgment Greatsword Mode. Affected by the Heavenly Fire, he was engulfed in flames and perished together with the Honkai Beast.)

"Ah? I'm not tired." Theresa looked at the woman her grandfather had been longing for, and she didn't know what to call her.

Grandma? That's not appropriate; they are direct blood relatives.

Mother? That's not appropriate; the bloodline is a copy of 540, and the generation is different.

"Um... Karen, do you know what's going on here?"

To be honest, Theresa is completely lost right now.

She just saw herself dressed in Shenzhou clothing, waving a feather fan and creating a gentle breeze. She saw herself looking like a vampire, with cute little tiger teeth.

Myself in "Executioner's Attire: Aster," myself in archbishop's robes, and myself as a pink-haired rabbit (???)...

What is all this about? What is Grandpa doing? Does he have another Theresa hidden away?

Thinking of this, Theresa's eyes darkened. "A310"... that was a code name, which used to belong to her.

Is Grandpa still working on that plan?

And the silver-white curtain they emerged from—wasn't that Tsukasa Kadoya's ability? How could Grandpa know it?

"What's going on now? Right, you should leave quickly!" Karen reached out her hand to "The Oath of Judah." "Lend me Judah for a moment. I'm going to fight. It's too dangerous for you to leave here first."

Theresa: "...Kallen, relax, they can handle it. Take a good look around. You're no longer in Klossen Town, or rather, you're no longer in that Klossen. This is five hundred years in the future."

"Five hundred years...?" Karen was taken aback.

Mechs blotting out the sky, hordes of Valkyries below, and Honkai Beasts being constantly annihilated...
