It's been such a long time since I last saw her; for the traveler, it was the first time after more than a hundred cycles, or over a hundred days, that I finally saw her.
For readers, the wait for updates has been long.
Whether within or outside the story, everyone felt a sense of joy at reuniting with an old friend.
Haibasha in the story is also very happy because no one speaks to her after she arrives at Zen Garden, and the traveler's arrival is just in time.
This puzzled Cole. Haibasha wasn't a difficult person to get along with, so why didn't she talk to her?
Readers shared the same question and wondered if she had bad breath.
How about some mint? Fresh breath will bring us closer.
Haibasha certainly didn't have bad breath; she had simply passed through the 'Linju Crazy Talk Period' and entered the 'Silent Perfection Period,' and she had attained enlightenment.
Thanks to Haibasha's efforts, she successfully connected to the WiFi, but she connected to the wrong one...
That's why they say it's the "neighbor's gossip phase"—if she connects to her neighbor's WiFi, she's bound to get verbally abused.
The person still on her face was also looking forward to someone else joining in. The other person didn't curse him, but turned his arrogant words into lies, and fooled him into a cripple.
[Hai Baxia laughed, "Haha... It's truly gratifying to share this sublime joy with you all!"]
While saying this, Haibasha in the illustration is even hugging herself, looking like her brain is trembling, as if she's 'ice skating'.
Haibaxia looked bewildered. Why do I look like I'm half-crazy? But my brain is still working logically. What's going on?
Although his thinking ability is normal, his words and behavior always feel a bit off.
He looks like a normal person, but it seems he only looks like one?

Character Voice Lines - Frynn: About the Believers
"Hmph, if you want to know how to talk to believers, you still have a lot to learn from me, ha-ha-ha—!"
Chapter 572 I Have Betrayed Three Times
The Sumeru Man was a bit confused. Does connecting with a deity really cause this? It's similar to how I feel after eating mushrooms.
Is this a connection with the gods, or did eating the mushrooms cause me to 'see' the gods in a tiny form?
The real-life soldier frowned. This way of speaking feels so familiar... Oh, I see. This is my first and only believer.
He suddenly became somewhat interested in Haibasha, even though Haibasha had not become his follower in this timeline.
In the book, Haibasha is also very fond of him and even wants to preach to him.
Haibasha stated that she could even enable travelers to connect with the gods, allowing them to ask the gods what 'the world...forgot me' means.
Even Nasita in the story said she had never heard of this ability, and readers were even more bewildered.
Connecting with the gods? But aren't the gods of Mount Sumeru right next to the traveler? What god are you connecting with? Did you go abroad?
In the story, Hai Basha had already prepared incense, and the scent of the incense allowed the traveler to see the 'will of the gods'.
Turning the page, all you see is a black illustration with only a few lines of dialogue.
"I have been betrayed thrice, and thus I have come to understand that everything in this world is nothing but a deceptive facade."
The illustration on the other page shows a hand with rotating lightning patterns behind it. Clearly, this is the story of Inazuma, and the owner of this hand seems to be the Thunder General.
"My anger will never subside!"
Turning the page, the illustration indeed featured a silhouette from a Lei film, with her hand extending a thread to connect to a doll.
"One is God, my creator, my 'mother'."
The readers were dumbfounded. What's this about, Thor? We've already reached Sumeru and you're still not done filming?
Lei Movie was also dumbfounded. It turns out that even after the collapse of the country, they still regarded me as their 'mother'.
The stragglers were also dumbfounded. They felt like their dark past had been exposed. They never thought they would have a similar feeling to the chuunibyou princess.
If the skirmishers had seen this before they were attacked, they would have been furious. But seeing the skirmishers now, they were just dumbfounded and didn't know what emotion to feel.
I never saw this book when I used to burn books, but now that I've stopped burning books, I've seen it instead. Lin Qiu, don't force me to break my vow!
This is the first day of giving up burning books.
In the illustration, the stragglers are thrown into the Hall of Sleep; he has been abandoned by Thor.
"It is swayed by power, abandoning the useless me."
Lei Movie remained noncommittal. Power? What power? Lei Movie didn't care about their power, and abandoning the collapse of the country wasn't because of any power.
Zhen truly understands her sister. The power that Shadow seeks is found within, not from external forces. Clearly, the stragglers have misunderstood.
This is why the scattered soldier wanted to prove his power to the shadow after ascending to godhood, because he felt that this was the reason he was abandoned, and he still wanted to prove himself to his 'mother'.
In reality, it really feels like 'Barzeb, I've already completed my PhD'.
Unfortunately, Ying remained unmoved, because Ying had never cared at all.
So Ying continued reading the story.
"Secondly, it's about people—my family and my friends."
The illustration shows Danwa, whose face is obscured. He strikes the iron and then looks at the Kabuki beside him with a smile.
Those who were curious followed suit, and after striking the hammer, their expressions were both curious and surprised.
The ashes were blown away from the skirmisher's hand by the wind, but he still couldn't resist.
On the first day after giving up burning books, Sanbing took out another book, calmed himself down, and continued reading.
In the illustration, flames are burning on his chest; in the next picture, he pulls out his 'fire,' which looks like he's pulling out his heart.
"They are bound by fear and see me as a detestable thing."
Readers didn't understand the scene and dialogue, but it actually depicts the skirmishers preventing the shadow from reaching the hearth.
Turning the page again, Guo Beng, wearing a straw hat and veil, encounters a child and cautiously reaches out his hand to touch him.
"The third is my kind, my expectation, birds whose wings are not yet fully grown."
The illustration depicts Guo Beng joyfully pushing open the door, with a bouquet of flowers in his arms.
But there was no one to greet them behind the door, only a child lying in a pool of blood.
"It is controlled by its lifespan, thus violating its agreement with me."
At this point, some readers may have some doubts. Let's leave aside the first two cases and, regardless of whether there was a misunderstanding, from the perspective of the stragglers, they can indeed be called 'betrayals'.
But can this third one be considered a betrayal? The first two could be explained by being abandoned and therefore betrayed, but the third one is clearly beyond our control.
Attributing this situation to betrayal seems a bit extreme; it feels like it's just that being overly sensitive leads to an overreaction to everything.
"I can never trust people, and I hate even God."
"I abandon everything, denying and scoffing at everything in the world."
"My heart will no longer be tainted by worldly affairs; I will cast aside the base emotions of humanity."
This passage gives the reader the impression that it confirms their conjecture, which is an overreaction due to emotional sensitivity.
Thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, a child who is abandoned by his mother at birth and lacks education is indeed prone to getting stuck on trivial matters.
Later, he finally found someone willing to teach him, but that person disappeared after teaching him for a short time.
Those who have never seen the light are less attached to it, and the Sanbei became even more extreme after Danwa disappeared.
Turning the page again, readers will see the figure of a collapsing kingdom gradually disappearing into the distance in the next illustration, and the clothes on his body have changed from those of a Kabuki to those of an executor of the Fools.
At this moment, everyone had only one thought in their minds, and that was—Spicy Maru!
Among the executors of the Fools, perhaps eleven out of ten are orphans, not to mention a morally bankrupt PhD! How can they be educated?
"My emptiness will be filled, like the pure white scroll at the moment of my birth, with the heart of the supreme god, brimming with divinity."
Upon seeing this sentence, some astute readers began to use their imaginations, replacing the 'pure white scroll' with the Heart of God? Does this mean that the stragglers' current 'heart' is the Heart of God?
But shouldn't that divine heart belong to Thor? Why is Thor connected to Sumeru?
The last illustration shows Guo Beng's face with a very 'sinister' smile, saying:
"Your era... is about to end."
The illustration is finished. Everyone understands why people might have a paranoid attitude towards the collapse of a nation, but understanding does not equal agreement.
Everyone has a different perspective; some can understand the experiences of stragglers, while others find them nothing special.
In fact, this illustration doesn't tell the specifics of the stragglers' experiences; his experiences are mostly in trivial details that Lin Qiu hasn't written about yet.
So what readers really want to say right now is just two words: 'Who are you?'
This is Mount Sumeru, what are you doing here?
You who connect with Mount Sumeru with the divine heart of Inazuma, sir, your divine power is immense!
Chapter 573 Nasita Suffers Fatal Wound
Besides complaining about the wrong god, there's also Haibasha, is this a 'pirated disc'?
What we want to see is taboo knowledge that one man and two women have to talk about. How come you're a child?
The readers were all confused. Weren't there only these three gods in Sumeru? If Nasita hadn't connected, there would only be the three of them left. How did a straggler suddenly appear? Is the prototype Thor also a god?
The traveler also had this question. The traveler who had broken free from the 'connection' parted her lips slightly, her small mouth agape, full of doubt and surprise, but she did not speak.
He was probably thinking: "Damn it, the Honkai Impact 3rd is still chasing me!"
He closed his mouth and looked at Paimon beside him. Paimon was covering his head and looked confused. It seemed that Paimon, who never watched CG, had seen CG this time.
Paimon said, "Is what we're seeing the past of the 'Scouts'?! A lot of information overlaps!"
["But how does the god that Haibasha speaks of relate to 'scattered soldiers'?"]
Yes, that's a good question. So, who can answer it?
Readers are also very confused about this. Why would it be associated with stragglers? Isn't it supposed to be a deity? Even a prototype would be fine, right?
[Hai Basha's expression was one of manic elation, her eyes wide and a forced smile on her face as she said, "You see it, you feel it, the sublime deity, the sublime will, the sublime emotion!"]
The book describes Haibasha touching her heart with a regretful tone.
"Unfortunately, what beats in my chest is a filthy, human heart... O divine being, can you forgive me, can you redeem me..."
If this were in the Cthulhu mythos, Hypasha would probably rip her heart out right away.
Not only do you have to take it out, but you also have to kneel on the ground, holding the 'heart' high in the air, and frantically say some blessings.
But in reality, the skirmishers wouldn't let Haibasha do that, because they were still protecting her.
Ah~, Hybasha, I, Scaramucci, the first sage~!
Regardless of what the stragglers thought, the real-life Haibasha felt a chill run down her spine.
How terrifying is it? It's like seeing a cockroach, it disappears the next second, and after a while you feel something crawling on your back.
That would make you want to dig your brain out and wash it clean.
It wasn't that she disliked the stragglers, it was just that the terrain was too chaotic, and she was scared.
The traveler and Nasita in the story also realized that Haibasha had gone mad.
The traveler shouted, "Wake up, Haibasha!"
Wake up! The Tree King has been gone for more than ten years!
Haibasha was startled by the traveler's sudden speech; so you can talk.
No, it was the sensitive Hypasha who was startled by the loud-talking traveler.
[Hai Basha: "Why...why are you so mean to me? Why are all those people avoiding me?"]
Haibasha looked around, seemingly searching for approval from others, or perhaps trying to confirm her empty sense of security.
"I have found the wisdom of the gods! I should be praised! I have become the one who explored in the darkness and found the light!"
