Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

Before long, mechanical sounds could be heard coming from inside.

The door that didn't look like a door was opened.

In that instant, everyone felt their hair stand on end.

Because an extremely cold aura inexplicably emanated from it.

Raiden Mei had sensed this aura in Paradise, but she had never seen the real person behind it.

Everyone in the paradise remained silent about it.

She once had an answer in her heart.

After all, there are very few people who possess both a cold aura and unfathomable power.

The moment the extreme cold appeared, noises also came from within the World Serpent.

It appears that there was a large-scale but clearly damaging incident inside.

The white frost spread from the inside out, reaching the feet of everyone.

The door was frozen solid.

Among those present, Bai Yan, Durandal, and Kiana made a judgment almost simultaneously: the person about to appear had already restrained their power, but for some reason, this action was somewhat difficult.

Perhaps something is wrong with this person.

Soon, everything outside the World Serpent's gate turned white.

Without a sound of footsteps, the master of extreme cold finally revealed himself.

She had a pair of long ears, a blue katana hanging at her waist, and long pink hair neatly tied behind her back.

Upon seeing this person, Kiana exclaimed in surprise, "Sakura?"

Volume 1: Chapter 214: Inside and outside the Paradise, neither side is complete.

Hearing the long-lost voice, Sakura also showed a slightly warm smile.

"Long time no see, Kiana."

Kiana never expected that she would still be able to meet people from the previous civilization even now.

She didn't have much interaction with Sakura, and her impression of her was just that she was a pretty good colleague.

I remember that she and Fu Yan had a pretty good relationship.

They were said to be members of the Poison Chrysalis, who were placed in the Fifth Squad at the time, also to monitor Aponia.

Despite the sensitive nature of the identity of the person in question, no internal conflict ultimately arose.

To a stranger, the woman in front of him seemed terrifying.

The involuntary outward release of extreme cold, the bone-chilling gaze, all reveal a killer instinct inherent in a natural hunter.

Bai Yan carefully observed Ying and gradually assessed her current strength.

He's almost as good as Kevin...

She must have just been in a battle; her opponent was not weak, but all she needed to do was increase her intensity.

She has limited control over her expanding power, which is why this is the current situation.

Bai Yan felt that this might be Dr. Mei's achievement, but there were no clues yet.

Overall, it's a good thing.

Everyone felt a deep sense of dread, never expecting that the World Serpent had such a trump card.

If you've accidentally gotten into a fight with a snake in the past, perhaps this person will suddenly appear before you...

Kiana stepped forward, surveyed the scene behind her, and asked, "What happened here? Do you need help?"

Sakura shook her head: "It was a small matter, and it's already been taken care of."

The World Serpent was in complete disarray, which was clearly no small matter.

Bai Yan subconsciously asked, "Could it be a Herrscher? Have you already dealt with the Herrscher of Corruption?"

Upon hearing this voice, Sakura subconsciously looked at Bai Yan, then frowned.

She saw a sense of familiarity in the other person's face; although he looked human, he was clearly a man.

Sakura seemed to remember something, sighed softly, and her eyes dimmed slightly: "It was the Herrscher of Corruption, but I dealt with it before it could cause greater damage."

Everyone suddenly realized that Qi Liuyi Mountain was a strange place.

Then Durandal asked with a hint of urgency, "Is the Land of the Dead alright?"

Sakura shook her head: "It's completely intact."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"You said before that the paradise of past lives in the parallel world was destroyed by the Herrscher of Corruption. Is there anything different here? Is it because of Sakura?" Raiden Mei asked Shirohiko.

"...To put it bluntly, all the people I saw are long gone over there. And this heroine of [Moment] perished along with the corruption of the previous civilization. But I don't understand how she can be so powerful, so much stronger than the one I saw."

Bai Yan looked puzzled and glanced at Sakura from a distance from time to time.

As if they were very curious about the truth behind what was happening before their eyes.

Upon hearing this, Sakura's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

She turned her head slightly, banishing Bai Yan from her sight, and said calmly, "Dr. Mebius has already told me that you have no problem entering the Paradise of the Past. If there are no other questions, please follow me."

After saying that, she turned and went back inside.

Rita said softly, "Xiao Yan, it seems you've upset her."

Bai Yan calmly replied, "Because the Herrscher of Corruption from the previous civilization was her sister."

"..."

Rita couldn't understand why Bai Yan was being so emotionally savvy in this situation.

Is it intentional?

At the moment, everyone's attention was focused on Paradise, and they didn't notice anything amiss. Instead, Bai Yan's words piqued their curiosity.

The Pure Land of the Afterlife was eventually restricted to certain individuals.

Besides the starter trio, Rita, Durandal, and Hakuhiko are allowed to enter Paradise in the first tier.

The six discovered that the Paradise of the Past seemed to be the main battlefield of the previous battle.

However, the damage here is very minor, as if a surgery had been performed to remove the diseased parts.

Some areas are clearly missing a corner, but it's not a big deal.

Bai Yan imagined the battle scene at that time.

The Herrscher of Corruption quietly appeared, began to replicate itself in the Land of the Dead, and seemed to have arrived in paradise.

Then, Sakura made her move.

A single, swift slash froze all the corrupted individuals, followed by a final strike to end the battle.

"..."

That's too much, Sakura.

They soon met Sakura, the memory body.

The difference is a bit too big.

“Uh, Miss Sakura, you don’t mean… Oh, I see.” Durandal took a moment to realize that this was a memory.

"The one in front of you is just a memory entity. Compared to the me in the outside world, I know far less. However, I think she is probably unwilling to speak."

Then, the memory version of Sakura looked at Kiana with a relieved smile on her face.

"Dr. Mei once said that you do not belong to our era. After the Eleventh Herrscher incident, we held a memorial service for you and Fu Yan, and now it seems that Dr. Mei was right."

“I never expected things to turn out that way… What happened after we left?”

"Later, the Fifth Squad was completely disbanded, and I kept looking for opportunities to be alone with Rin, because according to Fu Yan's prophecy, she would become the twelfth Herrscher... I don't know what happened after that, because when I came to Paradise to synchronize my memories, Rin was still fine."

As she spoke, a look of dejection appeared on Sakura's face.

"She probably did eventually become a Herrscher, but the real me is unwilling to reveal any information, so I can only assume that the situation is not good—never mind that, since you're here, please come inside, there should be someone else who wants to see you."

Kiana nodded and followed.

Hearing Sakura's words, the others knew that it was impossible to learn the truth from her.

After walking inside for a while, we heard footsteps.

It appears to be two people.

Soon, Bai Yan saw Pado pulling Fu Hua out.

The two men's eyes lit up the moment they saw Kiana, and they immediately came up to greet her.

“I never expected to see you again, Kiana—are these your friends? Oh, it’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Paddophilis. You can call me Paddo or Phyllis, whichever you prefer.”

Kiana... It's been a long time.

Kiana, however, said with a complicated expression, "Hua... actually, I knew you a long time ago, but at that time you seemed to no longer recognize me."

“Yes, I know,” Hua nodded. “I heard from Dr. Möbius outside that I seem to have lost a lot of memories for some reason. But it should have helped you, right?”

“Yes, you helped me a lot,” Kiana nodded and smiled. “Even the move I used to defeat the Herrscher of Binding from the previous civilization was taught to me by you.”

"That's great... By the way, did you see the captain after that?"

Volume 1: Chapter 215: Raiden Mei: I suspect you did this on purpose.

Hua's concern was undisguised.

This made Bai Yan, who was standing to the side, feel a little guilty.

After all these years, you still remember it. Is this the ability of the memory of the Pure Land of Past Lives to preserve memories?

Kiana shook her head: "I have never seen her in the present civilization. Although she looks a lot like a friend of mine, I am pretty sure that she is not someone who exists in our time."

"Is this so..."

Bronya and Raiden Mei looked at the unfamiliar class president in front of them, exchanged a glance, and both sensed each other's current emotions.

"Mei-neechan, class monitor... have you forgotten everything?"

"No, she remembered the most important thing."

“…Bronya thinks Mei is right,” Bronya nodded.

On the other side, after glancing at Rita, who was having a friendly conversation with Paddo, Durandal asked Bai Yan curiously.

"So Fu Hua was also a fusion warrior from a previous civilization?"

"Twelve Heroes Who Chased Fire, the Inscription of 'Floating Life'."

He may appear to be an ordinary person with little to no ambition, but in reality, his inner resolve is impeccable.

He has seen off one friend after another, and has guarded China for thousands of years.

Even if he forgot the last person who cared about him, Cheng Lixue, he continued to fulfill the mission that had been passed down from the previous civilization based on instinct.

In Bai Yan's opinion, it wouldn't be surprising if Fu Hua really became an immortal one day.

"Speaking of this... you all know, right? I'm actually a Herrscher," Kiana suddenly said.

Hua shook his head and said, "Alice has said similar things, but no one believes her."

As soon as he said that, everyone else's attention was drawn to him.

"Speaking of which, Bai Yan once said that my parallel world self told him that Alicia is the Thirteenth Herrscher. Ban-hua, what's the story behind this?" Raiden Mei asked.

"She didn't mention the word 'thirteenth.' Perhaps the parallel world your friend was talking about is very different from ours."

"Why don't you just call Sister Aili over and ask her? I'll go right now!" Pado suddenly said, and then disappeared without a trace.

Bai Yan watched her disappearing figure and said expressionlessly, "Take a look at yourselves and see what you're missing."

Apart from Kiana and Raiden Mei, the visitors all looked puzzled.
