After leaving the world of all NPCs

Alicia tilted her head, her long pink hair falling like a waterfall, the ends of her hair swaying gently as she leaned forward slightly. She blinked her eyes that seemed to be filled with starlight, and there was a hint of mischievous smile in her tone.

"You entered a strange dimension, where you met a handsome young man who immediately struck a liking with him?"

"That boy also took you to a world without Honkai, and dated you in a country similar to your homeland?"

"I even ordered the area to be cleared just to make you happy, so you could wander alone under the thousand torii gates of Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine and reminisce about the past?"

"I even took you to the concert."

"Renovate the former royal palace and allow bands from all over the world to come and perform for you."

"At night, I took you for a stroll through the sea of ​​winter cherry blossoms and played a song for you myself?"

As Alicia spoke, she reached out and gently placed her hand against Sakura's forehead, her palm slightly cool, as if to check if she had a fever.

"Ying, are you having a hysterical episode?"

It's been fifty thousand years.

They... Kevin, Su, and Hua might still be alive, but the memories of them are already dead.

Even if a girl is in love, it shouldn't be now, right?

Sakura felt helpless.

After being honest with Alicia, she told her the truth about Ye Zuochen and the [NPC Space], but this was the reaction she got in return.

It really sounds like a little girl's fantasy.

Even when she was telling the story, her cheeks felt slightly hot unconsciously.

If Ling heard this, she would probably make fun of me for a long time.

"Ellie, this is true."

Alicia spun around her lightly, her skirt spreading out like petals, her laughter as clear as wind chimes.

"Let me guess~ Does that beautiful young man, clearer than crystal, also have eyes that can crush moonlight into words of love? Holding your hand, walking beneath the deserted Thousand Torii Gates, even the stone fox statues hold their breath, afraid to disturb the old dreams drifting through your hair?"

"No holding hands."

Sakura corrected seriously.

Alicia's eyes flickered slightly, and she burst out laughing.

"Hey, next time you write such a romantic adventure story, at least bring back a wisteria flower stained with morning dew from another world~"

"I did bring back a souvenir."

Sakura's expression suddenly turned serious.

"Before logging off, Lord Chen wanted me to confirm something for him. He channeled his 'Golden Core' into my spiritual being, hoping to test whether, if I logged off like this, the Golden Core would remain in my body over there, or... return to this world with me."

Alicia widened her eyes slightly and moved closer curiously.

"So, you brought back that golden elixir?"

"No." Sakura shook her head first, then nodded, "Right. No, it's still wrong. It should be right, um, right and wrong."

Alicia: "Oh, my dear Sakura, you've almost confused me~"

Sakura sighed softly and explained, "When I woke up, I found myself dozing off next to the 'host' in the real world, just like when I synchronized my memories before."

"what?!"

Alicia showed a rare look of surprise, and even her tone of voice rose slightly.

Sakura continued, "I was surprised too, but it was more than that."

"After a brief trance, I found that my memory had improved."

"Those memories that originally belonged only to the real 'me' and not to the memory body, unexpectedly emerged clearly."

Alicia was completely stunned and speechless for a long time.

Sakura's voice also had a hint of trance.

"Klein said that I didn't simply acquire a body through my memories. The only explanation for this situation is..."

She paused and whispered the almost impossible word.

"resurrection."

The air seemed to freeze at this moment.

Alicia didn't come back to her senses for a long time, until a breeze blew by, and then she chuckled as if waking from a dream.

"If Mobius knew, he would definitely pester you~"

"So I didn't go to her."

Sakura's gaze fell on Alicia's face, her tone firm.

"I'm here to say goodbye. There's something I have to do..."

Alicia's fingertips suddenly touched Sakura's lips, stopping her from finishing her words.

The girl's eyelashes drooped, casting tiny shadows on her cheeks like fluttering butterfly wings.

"Hush! A traveler taking a secret doesn't need a goodbye." Alicia's voice was as soft as a song, with a hint of playfulness at the end. "Look, even the falling cherry blossoms are urging you to run towards Ling."

Sakura raised her eyes and met Alicia's gaze.

At that moment, the girl's voice was suddenly filled with the coldness and solemnity of moonlight.

“May the stars shine brightly on your path.”

“May the footprints you leave behind be filled with flowers.”

"May your instantaneous determination sever the web woven by fate."

After she finished speaking, she blinked and returned to her cunning and clever appearance, with a mischievous smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Let's go, before Mebius smells the scent of 'miracle'~"

Ying nodded, turned and walked out of the paradise of the afterlife.

Behind me, cherry blossoms fluttered like snow.

……

NPC world.

Ye Zuochen looked at Ying who had lost her life again, and after a little feeling, he found that the [Qingming Creation Talisman] was located in Ying's Niwan Palace, but it seemed a little illusory, like a mirage, visible but not tangible.

"How is this going?"

Faced with this question, the [Big Light Ball] immediately gave an answer.

[The two "Avenue Slices" held by the owner have established a connection with this object]

[Analysis in progress]

Pop-ups endlessly display countless unspeakable messages.

It's like writing directly on the Tao.

Like text.

Like numbers.

Like an image.

After a series of calculations.

【Analysis completed】

Ye Zuochen, who was on the deck of the land aircraft carrier, raised his head and casually hung a green lynx aside like a rag.

He picked up the passing rabbit in his arms and then began to read the report given by the [Big Light Ball].

The writing is very complicated and there are many things that are difficult to understand.

It has some meaning of sitting and discussing philosophy.

However, Ye Zuochen still understood it.

After all, I have been here for an unknown amount of time, and the only thing that can make an anthropomorphic response is this [big ball of light].

"I almost understand. From the perspective of the collapsed world, Ying, who has been enlightened by the golden elixir, can be considered a destiny walker."

"Everything here, the NPC space, the Qingming Creation Scroll, and the gilded heart-binding silk together constitute her 'fate', and she is on this special 'fate'."

“Get strength from this.”

"So, it's okay for me to take the golden elixir back, right?"

"The moment I went offline, I indeed gained the power of 'Golden Pill' and 'Golden Silk'."

"The former allowed her to reshape her body and achieve immortality, similar to receiving a blessing from the Medicine King."

"The latter is like a guide. When you are lost, you can strengthen your mind and become a spiritual anchor."

"That sounds pretty good..."

Ye Zuochen took back the golden elixir, but he was not very interested in what Ying would do after returning or whether she would come online again.

There's no way to go to the Collapse Universe anyway.

It’s better to focus on the real world outside your door.

crunch--

The wooden door was pushed open, and Ye Zuochen walked out of the NPC world and asked Chengzhou, "How is Jianguo's matter being handled?"

"It's done." Chengzhou said quickly: "Malaysia is a country with seven royal families. We have forced them to enact a law to give up the king's claim to sovereignty over that area, but they are not allowed to incorporate it into Palembang. They can only return to Malaysia or support the establishment of a royal family..."

Speaking of this, Chengzhou broke out in a cold sweat, and he also felt that he was not doing his job well.

But there is really no way around this.

He was just a powerful boss in Yokohama Chinatown, and his abilities were really limited.

Ye Zuochen didn't care: "That's fine, it's just something I said casually anyway. You guys can discuss the country name and just confirm it for me."

"Yes."

Chengzhou was very moved.

Ye Zuochen asked again, "By the way, hasn't Sayamiya Xin brought her people here yet?"

"No." Cheng Zhou quickly explained, "It is said that if the Netherworld is not open to others, no one else can enter, so she probably can't do it either."

Ye Zuochen didn't really care and just said, "I'm almost going on a trip too. I guess she won't be able to make it."

Since we can move in the multiverse, we should go to our original goal - the Bang Bang World.

Do not misunderstand.

I'm just a little curious, what's so special about World No. 909? Is it really the same worldview as Opera Girls and Card Battle Vanguard?

Chengzhou asked hesitantly, "King, she's playing tricks on you like this. Do you want us to teach them a lesson?"

Ye Zuochen gave a playful smile.

He did it on purpose to let Sayamiya Xin go find the Glass-Eyed Princess.

This princess is the ancestor of gods. In her previous life, she was the Earth Mother Goddess who died under the sword of the savior god. She also knows the whereabouts of the last king clearly, and even has a deep connection with him in mythology.

After the deaths of Susanoo and Amane no Sosho, the only elder living in seclusion in the Japanese underworld was Princess Glass Eyes.

Ye Zuochen had to consider the possibility that the Glass-Eyed Princess would become enraged and awaken the Last King.

Now it seems.

These three people also have a fake brotherhood.

"No need." Ye Zuochen chuckled. "Tell her that I was very satisfied with their performance when they entertained Ying before, and I will forgive her for breaking her promise for now."

He paused, then suddenly added, "As for the matter of allegiance, isn't their royal family extinct? Find a Hime-miko who will serve as the Shinto god and the new king, and have her declare her allegiance to me on behalf of Japan."

After saying that, Ye Zuochen added one last sentence.

"This way, the first island chain will be my sphere of influence, and I don't want any other voices in my garden."

Chengzhou's pupils trembled.
