Reborn Girl, Journey to All Worlds

A week later

The chaos caused by the Ruler of Rule has calmed down. Ji Zi returned in the eyes of everyone and became a member of Anti-Entropy.

As for Mei, she did not choose to stay, but returned to the World Snake, to the paradise of the past life to answer her own confusion.

But this is not very important. At this moment, Xue is in the imaginary space. As for the specific location, it is the spiritual world of an alien race called Shoggoth.

Out of politeness, Xue naturally knocked on the door in a sense.

After a moment, the space changed and Xue appeared in a wonderful world filled with desserts and candies.

And right in front of Xue appeared Yulandel and Shigure Qiluo with a hint of surprise on their faces.

"Hi~ Bianca; long time no see, Sister Qiluo and..."

Looking at Nicholas on Shigure Qiluo's shoulder, Xue didn't know for a moment whether she should call him Sister Nicholas or Brown Sugar.

"Just call me Nicholas. You're Xiaoxue...right?"

Looking at the girl in front of them, Nicholas and Shigure Kirara were a little hesitant for a moment.

"Of course it's me~ You haven't seen me for so long, don't you recognize me?"

"Ahahahaha... more or less..."

Hearing this, Shigure Kirara smiled embarrassedly, and Nicholas' tone on her shoulder suddenly became a little serious.

"Xiaoxue, how did you find this place? I remember you were just an ordinary person."

"Well, you should ask Bianca~"

As they spoke, they both looked at Bianca, who explained somewhat helplessly.

"Because Xue is now a Herrscher. Of course, she's a Herrscher on the side of humans."

"Huh?!" Upon hearing this, the two were completely stunned, especially Shigure Kirara. She racked her brains but never imagined that her favorite little sister, a distant relative, would become a Herrscher.

"Xiaoxue, you actually became a Herrscher?"

"Yes, I am the original Herrscher who stands on the side of humanity, but to Honkai, I am a natural-born traitor."

"Is that so..." Shigure Kirara and Nicholas didn't say anything about the identity of the Herrscher that Xue betrayed. After all, it was not without precedent.

"By the way, the imaginary space is so chaotic, how did you find this place, Xiaoxue?"

"Well, I found this by following Bianca, or rather the power within Bianca."

"My power?" Bianca was a little confused when she heard it.

"Yes, it is your power, or rather, the power of the Star Armor and the Holy Sword 'Yulandel'."

"Xue, how do you know about Yulandel?"

Bianca was very surprised to see that Xue seemed very familiar with the Holy Sword.

"That's a long story, but it's not just about Yulandel, I even know about the Sumeru mustard seeds~"

"Xiaoxue, you even know about Sumeru mustard seeds?" Bianca was even more surprised.

"Of course, I'm also very familiar with the pioneer named Su."

"Hmm? Xiaoxue, do you still know that forerunner?"

Hearing this, Yulandel's eyes became sharp.

"Of course. He was a member of the anti-Honkai organization called the 'Fire-Chasing Moth' from the previous civilization, and a good friend of the current world's snake leader, Kaiwen."

"By the way, I was once a member of that organization. We belonged to a special group called 'Fire Chaser's Heroes'."

After hearing Xue's words, Bianca instantly turned into a goose, with confusion written all over her eyes.

"Xiaoxue, what do you mean? I don't quite understand."

"Literally, to put it simply, I was once a pre-civilized person."

"Bianca, you know that the previous civilization didn't defeat the Collapse. Among the few remaining survivors, some chose to perish along with that era, while others chose to remain as sparks, sleeping until some time in the present civilization."

Listening to Xue's story, the three people present seemed to gradually realize something.

"I, or rather my past life, chose the former, sacrificing my life for power. I temporarily delayed my demise by a fraction of a second as a completely collapsed and rampaging silver-winged demon dragon, before ultimately turning to ash."

"After a reincarnation worthy of a novel, I was finally born into this present civilization as my current self—Tennoji Yuki."

After hearing Xue's words, the three people present were so shocked that they were speechless. No matter how you look at it, this was a bit too much like a fantasy novel.

"Xiaoxue, are you really not kidding?"

Of the three people present, Shigure Kirara was the most surprised. Her sister was a reincarnation? No matter how you looked at it, it was too outrageous.

"Xiaoxue, you're really not telling a story?" Bianca agreed.

"Of course not. These are all true histories of the previous civilization, and I am indeed a so-called reincarnated person."

Looking at Xue's serious eyes, the three knew that these were probably true.

"...I see. No wonder you, Xue, knew about 'Yulan Dai'er' and the Sumeru mustard seed."

"Yeah, but then again, what are you doing?"

After Xue's reminder, the three finally remembered that they had not yet done their important work.

"Ah, Xiaoxue, if you hadn't mentioned it, we would have forgotten it."

"I'm going to go prepare to activate the Sugar Silver Key, you guys chat first~"

After saying that, Nicholas left here temporarily.

After hearing about the "Sugar Silver Key", Xue suddenly became interested.

"'Sugar Silver Key'? Is that the 'foreign key'?"

"Hmm? Xiaoxue, do you know?" Hearing this, Shigure Qiluo was a little curious.

"Yes, I have a friend who was an eyewitness to that incident. Her name is Mostima."

"Eh~ Miss Mostima is actually your friend, Xiaoxue?"

"Yes, we have known each other for a long time~"

Xue herself didn't realize that when she talked about Xiao Mo, her eyes were filled with a joy and happiness different from usual.

"Well~ just friends~?" As a seasoned person, Shigure Kirara naturally noticed the difference in Xue's smile and revealed a weird smile.

Seeing that her relationship with Xiao Mo seemed to be exposed, Xue simply stopped hiding it.

"Um... Actually, Xiao Mo is my girlfriend~"

"?"

"Wow!" Bianca and Shigure Kirara had different reactions upon hearing this.

Dai'e was bewildered and couldn't understand, while Qiluo's eyes lit up and she was a little excited.

"Well, Sister Qiluo, there's no need to be so excited. It's a little scary."

"Sorry, sorry, I just didn't expect that Xiaoxue you actually like girls."

Seeing that Shigure Qiluo was still excited, Xue could only smile helplessly.

……

A little while passed and the three of them chatted about some random things while waiting for Nicholas to come back.

But this time seems to be too long.

"Come to think of it, we've been talking for so long—Nicholas, you should be almost done with your preparations, right?"

"Uh… sorry, guys. Looks like I messed up a bit. Or maybe there was a bug in the program."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

"Bug?"

"The specifics aren't important... Anyway, we've attracted some so-called 'imaginary creatures' to the outside of the candy house!"

"Help me solve this, Xiaoxue, Bianca—it would be troublesome if the Candy House itself was invaded."

"understood."

"Bianca, it's been a while since I've fought alongside you. Let's go together."

"Ah."

After that, the two came to the outside of the "Candy House". With the blessing of the Snow Herrster's field, Bianca was able to go all out.

The power of Star Armor and Life and Death reverberated in the imaginary space, and the so-called "imaginary creation" was completely annihilated by the two in almost the blink of an eye.

"Xiaoxue, Bianca, thank you for your hard work~"

Seeing Bianca and Xue return successfully after destroying the "Imaginary Creation", Shigure Kirara and Nicholas nodded.

Now that the little incident has been resolved, it's time to get down to business.

Under Nicholas's operation, lines of alien text scrolled rapidly across the screen, looking very complicated.

"Although debugging is complete, you may have to wait a little longer, Bianca. Due to concerns about channel stability, the other party has chosen to prioritize the task and establish full communication later."

"The other party? You mean... Xiaoyou? Have you contacted it?"

"Ah—yes, that AI. It's currently receiving the temporary connection plan for the World Bubble transmitted by the Sugar Silver Key at full speed, so it can't switch to its personality form yet."

"...I see. This is a good time for me to adjust my mood. I mean... mentally prepare myself."

"Anyway... I'm... very grateful to have this opportunity today."

"Hey, why are you embarrassed? Qiluo's good friends are my good friends. This is all part of our job."

In response to Bianca's thanks, Nicholas signaled that she didn't need to care.

"Oh, wait...ah...good, good. Wow, that went so smoothly."

"What happened?" Bianca asked when she saw Nicholas suddenly become a little excited.

"Success! The other party received and directly implemented the 'connection plan' in one go! Without further ado, let's start the call—"

"Ah, wait."

Nicholas answered the call directly, which made Bianca a little nervous as she was not fully prepared.

"Test, test. Bianca, can you hear me? If you can, answer me loudly, okay?"

"...No problem! I heard it clearly! I heard it clearly, Holy Sword Yulandel."

"Oh." Xiaoyou's tone changed obviously when she heard Bianca's voice.

"I haven't seen you for a few years. You seem to have grown from a little girl into a big lady. Congratulations, congratulations."

"——What are your measurements now? Are they around 9 or so?"

When Bianca heard Xiaoyou's words, her face turned red, while Xue couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

“…Hey! You, why are you acting so dirty right away?! Senior Qiluo, there’s still…”

Bianca paused and looked at Xue who was beside Shigure Kirara. Xue cleared her throat and spoke.

"Xiaoyou, Xiaoyou, can you hear me?"

"Hmm? This voice is!" Xiaoyou was stunned for a moment when he heard this familiar voice, and then became a little surprised.

"It's me, Axue, Xiaoyou, long time no see~"

"It's really you, Axue. Long time no see~ Let me calculate, it's been at least 50,000 years since we last met."

"Well, that's true in terms of the specific time span, but from my perspective, it wasn't actually that long. After all, like you, I was mostly asleep."

"Oh~ So that's how it is~" Xiaoyou didn't doubt what Xue said. After all, the technological level of the previous civilization was frighteningly high, and awakening a frozen human body was not impossible.
