Collapse, survive

He's someone who can have fun with the Star Train, and he doesn't have the heavy past that they do.

"Is that what you think? But the stars shine not because they want to shine, but because they are born that way."

Eden gracefully walked up to Fang Jie, a pair of eloquent eyes gazing at him, a clear voice flowing with warmth.

"But you weren't born this way."

Her tone was firm.

"You're the kind of person who—if you're going to live, you should live brilliantly and dazzlingly, become light, become fire. You understand those kinds of people, but understanding doesn't mean you have to follow that path."

In pre-civilizational times, there were far too many people like this.

Eden at that time used songs to dispel people's sorrow and confusion, leading them from hesitation to the future.

Until everything is completely cut off.

Now, she sees people like that.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Relax. Although you probably don't need our advice, as long as you are willing to talk about it, there will naturally be people who can understand. You are also very clear about this."

Her voice was full of emotion, making one wonder what it would be like if she were to sing...

Unfortunately, Eden no longer touches everyone's heart with her songs.

Shigure Kira, however, wholeheartedly practiced this path.

Fang Jie looked at the beautiful older sister and laughed out loud for no reason: "Sorry, I just thought of something happy."

Clearly, he still possesses a certain amount of divine power.

Eden, instead, relaxed his brow: "Keep that smile, for its brilliance lies within."

"I will, don't worry about me. I just—if you already know too much, it's hard to imagine the mind of the ignorant. That's the curse of knowledge."

"This seems to be Dr. Mebius's opinion."

"Yes, I agreed with her for a while, after all, it's the Year of the Snake."

"what does that mean?"

"Eden, my good Eden?"

Alicia reached out from behind and hugged Eden, peeking out to interrupt the conversation: "You're so serious, I don't dare to interrupt you."

“Ellie, as you know, even though it’s no longer in the realm of singing, I’ve always hoped to bring my audience enlightenment on life and philosophy.”

Eden also felt that he was being a bit too serious, but wasn't this Alicia's fault?

Her request was so earnest.

Fang Jie is quite good at taking care of people, especially standing out among Ah Xing and Ah Qi, but he has almost no experience in being taken care of.

And the two in front of me...

Fang Jie turned his head and looked at himself in the mirror.

What to say?

At first glance, it doesn't look much different from before.

However, that was a new image that made Eden feel regretful and nervous.

He silently picked up his phone, took a picture of himself at a 45-degree angle, clicked send, and then turned off his phone, ignoring the subsequent screams.

Let's just enjoy it for a while. He looked at himself in the mirror, just like the Monkey King in "A Chinese Odyssey" who saw that he was actually a monkey when he used the Demon-Revealing Mirror.

Of course, the feelings are completely different; what's wrong with monkeys?

Look at this face, flawless from every angle, with delicate features, a slightly melancholic air, so handsome it takes women's breath away and makes men cry!

Fang Jie wasn't vain; Eden had indeed put on makeup for him, even if it was just barely noticeable and he didn't know how it was done. Plus, the new undershirt, which looked the same at first glance, had actually been subtly modified.

It's just like the Shen siblings next door changed into new clothes!

He almost thought he had seen it...

Not Sambo, but that slick stuff like placer gold.

It's flamboyant yet tasteful, luxurious yet elegant, and it can completely pull off a flamboyant look. Of course, it's still slightly inferior to Yinzhi, which is the kind of thing that everyone understands, with a completely different style.

In short, Fang Jie's phone was bombarded with satellite messages.

She was screaming, roaring, and incredulous. "Fang Jie, you have such a handsome brother? How come I didn't know? Hand him over! I'm taking a picture to show March 7th and showing off to her..."

The situation is very serious.

The members of the Star Train are already celebrities, the kind who have fans all over the galaxy.

For Fang Jie, he will have to consider the possibility of encountering fanatical fans who might swarm him like a zombie horde... Why does Honkai always seem to have zombie elements?!

This is not just wishful thinking; it is a very real possibility that female zombies could cause them great suffering.

Fang Jie screamed in his heart, clutching his head—

What to do when it's too popular!

"Such a funny expression, so cute."

Alicia laughed maliciously and even took pictures.

Fang Jie felt that it was all over, and that she would be broadcasting this moment through a megaphone in the Land of the Dead from now on, so he simply continued to strike a cool pose.

Eden couldn't help but smile; he was very good at adjusting himself.

Fang Jie also thought it was very good.

After being harassed by two older sisters with unconventional thinking, he finally had another wonderful experience in the Land of the Dead.

'You've done a great job, take a break' and 'You can do even better, let me decorate for you,' these are truly the best chefs in the Land of the Dead.

Not worth it.

Although most of the heroes are different from ordinary people, Fang Jie no longer pursues the 'extraordinary'. If his evolution speed were a little slower, he could still be obsessed with those dangerous and charming villains.

"Wait, Ellie."

Fang Jie suddenly thought of a key point.

"The things in the paradise of the past are all memories, so I replaced them with these..."

Actual streaking?

Alicia covered her eyes, as if she were shy: "What are you thinking, Fang Jie? Why are you suddenly saying such strange things? We just created such a beautiful atmosphere, so romantic and charming. You're almost completely immersed in the charm of Good Eden."

“Eden is certainly wonderful, but what I’m talking about is also very important.”

Fang Jie spoke with conviction, saying things that Eden didn't seem to mind at all: "But you have to think of a way, I don't want to die as soon as I go out."

"What can they do? After all, I can't get out either, and Xiao Fang, you could have left when you were free..."

"No."

Fang Jie interrupted her: "I'm not planning to take it off anymore. I'm going to wear this New Eden's clothes for a long time."

After all, he wasn't a band member, so he wouldn't easily say something like "forever".

Alicia was speechless: "Completely refuted! Think of something, think of something..."

They discussed the matter across Eden, and soon, Alicia had an idea.

She opened her palm, and flawless crystal flowers spread and grew, sculpting the shape of Eden, lifelike and delightful.

Fang Jie lowered his head to look under the figure's skirt.

The composed Eden was somewhat bothered.

From that angle, she herself could probably see it too; it's not that she wanted you to relax.

Alicia pointed at him and said, "What are you doing? Don't peek. My work is all about perfection."

"Hi~"

Eden couldn't hold back any longer: "Ellie."

That was followed by a series of teasing, silvery laughs, which were actually quite arrogant.

The Paradise Society is rife with evil deeds.

"We do strive for perfection; we even have safety shorts."

Fang Jie complained, revealing that he had already seen it, but Eden didn't actually wear safety shorts. Alicia was truly wicked.

"of course."

Alicia was smug, and Fang Jie, who had been tricked like this, was really an idiot. But it wasn't his fault; Eden was just too charming.

"So how are you going to solve this? With this? I don't want to."

Fang Jie did not accept the crystal.

Visitors to the Land of the Dead not only seek answers they can obtain themselves, but also receive the imprints bestowed by heroes, thereby strengthening their sacred marks.

If you take it to the extreme—

Anyway, it's not the Tengen.

To date, the highest achievement of the Stigmata is 'Rational Type'. Durandal's path to the Heavenly Origin was too slow. At that time, Kevin had already begun the Stigmata Project.

If she had shown that possibility sooner...

Hard to say.

Also, Fang Jie was actually quietly expelled from the Stigmata system by Kevin and the Heroes.

He's working on new Stigmata, and he also wants to create a new Paradise of the Past...

This is the conclusion reached by Vervier, and it's quite reliable.

Therefore, what Alicia gave away was not her mark, but her power.

"I'm so heartbroken that I had to reject them."

Alicia hugged Eden and nuzzled against him, looking at Fang Jie with a mournful expression, but there was no need to pay attention; she would soon brighten up on her own.

"Well, there's nothing they can do about it, but..."

Before Eden could reach out and take her crystal figurine, Alicia concealed it, hiding it away, and with her other hand, another crystal flower grew, from which a lifelike figure emerged.

"How about this?"

In a lighthearted tone, Alicia still brought up the topic of her, which she couldn't avoid.

"Aponia, a kind and compassionate nun, has been waiting for you all along~".

If anyone could escape the Land of the Dead, then it would be Aponia… even if her physical body was reduced to something like a brain in a vat, merging with the Land of the Dead.

But life, with its vitality that can even bring planets back to life, makes it easy for Fangjie to bring back the paradise of the past.

"That's a good idea. I've been looking forward to meeting her."

Aponia, Sakura, Thousand Calamities, and Padophilia...

Ever since taking over Ling's care, Fang Jie has felt responsible for her, keeping an eye on her in the Milky Way and watching over her in the collapsed solar system, even though he usually acts like he doesn't know what's going on.

The actual solution places great importance on diamond.

In reality, Möbius's approach was quite clever, and Fang Jie was impressed with her enough that he probably wouldn't refuse her if she really wanted it...

He always responds to requests.

"Hmm~, I knew you cared about this, Xiao Fang. You're the type who has to clear your mind whenever you have something to do, and you can't sit still. Be careful not to get caught by an unscrupulous boss. Klein used to be like that..."

Alicia, how could your warm little mouth utter such terrible words?

Me, Klein?

Are the two similar in any way? I'm only being diligent to combat "nihilism." In the past, I was so lazy, able to be confined to the sofa, blankets, and computer chair day after day...

Fang Jie nodded vigorously: "I'll change it."

“Then there’s no rush to see Aponia. Aponia must be thinking the same thing. As for where to go next, Eden is already trying to get rid of us.”

“Ellie, you know I will never send you away.”

Eden isn't made of wood, and he's not being held and whispered in someone's ear.

"Hehe, good Eden, don't ruin things for me!"
