Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

"It is I who have tarnished the honor of the Shaniat family..."

Anna argued in a low voice.

The Schariac family, whose mission has always been to fight against the Honkai, and whose members mostly die on the battlefield, has surprisingly produced an Apostle of the Honkai among their descendants.

This is a resounding slap in the face for anyone who takes pride in the Schariacs, shattering the Schariacs' millennia-long glory.

“But in my opinion, Anna, you are the one who truly deserves to stand shoulder to shoulder with Lady Cecilia and is the glory of the Shaniat.”

Shaking his head, Shihen's tone remained unwavering. "I have always believed that power is neither good nor bad; what truly determines its use is always the human heart."

Just like the Honkai energy we use, it would also become the culprit that causes Honkai disasters and kills countless people in other places.

Therefore, the power of the Lawgiver should be the same thing; it is righteous when used for good, and evil when used for evil.

"The Time Mark Alliance Leader?"

Looking up at the boy, Anna was momentarily stunned.

"As the third-generation leader of Anti-Entropy, I have gained the trust of many Herrschers. My words should carry more weight than those of the Schariac family, right?"

Shihen asked with a smile, his slightly narrowed eyes full of tenderness.

"Alliance Leader Time Trace..."

Anna instinctively reached out to the boy, but then shook her head and stopped herself. "I... I saw many people affected by the collapse and in dire need of rescue when the collapse occurred in Manila two years ago."

But at that time, I was only concerned with saving my own life, abandoning the mission I was supposed to bear.

"I know."

Shihen smiled and replied, his eyes full of understanding.

"I should have gone to save them!"

Many of them would have survived if it weren't for me!

Anna said in an almost self-destructive tone.

"But now you are using your own power to save more people."

Shihen shook his head and said, "A truly brave warrior will never be defeated by the past."

But this does not mean that we should forget the mistakes of the past.

On the contrary, we should remember the past and take responsibility for it.

And in my opinion, Anna, you've already done that.

Without this sense of responsibility, the girl wouldn't have remembered the events of Manila's collapse.

"So, just like I said before, I will always support you, Anna."

Looking directly into the girl's eyes, Shihen spoke earnestly, word by word.

"..."

Startled by these words, Anna's face immediately broke into a smile. "Alliance Leader Shihen is really cheating, always saying things like that to me..."

In that case, wouldn't she have no choice but to fully reciprocate the other person's trust?

"Is Anna feeling any better now?"

Shihen asked with a smile, his eyes still kind and gentle.

"Has the Time Mark Alliance Leader already noticed this?"

Unable to contain her surprise, Anna asked, a secret thrill rising within her.

"I've said it before. As a Herrscher, you are a valuable asset in the fight against the Honkai."

And I also hope that you can find happiness as Anna.

Shihen shook his head slightly and said.

Having managed to entice Anna to Anti-Entropy, he would at least show some concern for the girl's mental state.

"And this inspection?"

Anna's gaze swept over the now dimly lit camp, a clear look of bewilderment in her eyes.

Contrary to her initial expectations of an inspection, the boy did not bring her here specifically to examine the working conditions of the anti-entropy personnel.

Instead, the boy worked alongside her as a staff member at the camp, preparing dinners for the people in the refugee camp and playing with the children in the camp...

This is clearly not something a leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance and a Herrscher should do.

"What we are doing today may not even be a big deal in the grand scheme of humanity's fight against the Honkai."

But I believe that these things are by no means meaningless.

The small acts of kindness we pass on may blossom into even more miracles in the future.

Looking up at the half-moon in the sky, Shihen said leisurely, "Moreover, I have always believed that maintaining people's positive and optimistic attitude is just as important as eliminating the Honkai."

"Alliance Leader Time Trace..."

Staring blankly at the boy, Anna's mind drifted to the smiling faces of the ragged children, and she felt she was beginning to understand the meaning of "good" in the phrase "for all that is good in the world."

It's not necessarily about defeating a certain number of Honkai Beasts or rescuing a certain number of lives from the disaster area...

Sometimes, what we call "good" can actually be very simple.

"Anna, could you lower the temperature in the camp a little?"

Given the conditions of this campsite, many people probably won't get a good night's sleep.

Shihen said with a smile.

"Yes, Alliance Leader Shihen."

Anna showed no impatience at this attempt to use the power of the frozen sea as a giant air conditioner; instead, she revealed an eager expression.

"call--"

With her cheeks puffed out, Anna blew a strong breath toward the sky, and several ice crystals immediately flew into the night, followed by a chill that enveloped the entire camp.

Seeing the girl's somewhat pretentious posture, Shihen couldn't help but shake his head and reveal a faint smile.

After all, Anna is only eighteen years old this year, which is the perfect time for her to shine.

"Alliance Leader Time Mark!"

Before the bright smile on her face had faded, Anna turned to look at the boy beside her.

"Ok?"

He blinked, a perfectly timed look of confusion on his face.

"Thank you!"

Anna looked directly into the boy's eyes and spoke in an extremely serious tone.

"I should be thanking you, Anna. Thank you for trusting me."

Shihen said with a smile.

"It is I who should thank Alliance Leader Shihen."

Shaking her head seriously, Anna then asked before the boy could object, "Next time... can we inspect like we did today?"

As she spoke softly, a rabbit-like anticipation flickered in Anna's bright eyes.

Meeting the girl's hopeful gaze, Shihen nodded and smiled, saying, "Yes."

And it's not just this kind of inspection; flowers, desserts, gentle breezes... he will slowly guide the girl to discover all the beauty in the world.

Only when Anna genuinely loves this world and is determined to fight for it can the other party truly be qualified to ascend.

"Ah."

Unaware of what the boy was thinking, Anna nodded happily, her blue eyes sparkling like stars.

Chapter 135 A Master of Recognizing Treasures

Shenzhou, Taixu Mountain.

"Mmm~ I slept so well, today is a new day."

Fu Hua groggily awoke from a blue stone atop the mountain, stretched lazily, and looked up at the clear blue sky. She grinned and exclaimed, "Old fogey, what time is it? Tell me the time!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Hua, dressed as a Crimson Phoenix Immortal, immediately appeared.

Looking at the Herrscher of Knowledge who was treating her like an intelligent butler, Fu Hua couldn't help but sigh helplessly, but still honestly replied, "According to the time zone of Shenzhou, it is already 10:30."

"Did I sleep for that long? No wonder I feel more tired the more I sleep lately."

Fu Hua scratched the soles of her feet and exclaimed in surprise.

"..."

Watching the Herrscher of Knowledge tickle her feet and then sniff her fingers carefully, Fu Hua paused slightly before looking away and letting out a long sigh. "What exactly are you planning to do? You've been staying at Mount Taixu for almost half a month now."

After nearly being discovered while trying to freeload at Anti-Entropy, she and the Herrscher of Knowledge ended up at Mount Taixu.

Furthermore, since there are still many feathers left behind by Yu Duchen when she stripped away her memories on Mount Taixu, the Herrscher of Knowledge conceived the idea of ​​collecting the feathers and staying on Mount Taixu.

But as the search for the remaining feathers became increasingly difficult, the Lawbringer of Knowledge quickly gave up on the task, much like a child with only a three-minute burst of enthusiasm. Instead, he inexplicably became dejected on Mount Taixu, spending his days eating and sleeping, only occasionally practicing boxing or stretching his muscles when the mood struck him.

If it weren't for the fact that the worldview wouldn't allow it, Fu Hua believed that the Herrscher of Knowledge would definitely be covered in lush, high-quality grass.

I can do whatever I want, it's none of your business!

Faced with Fu Hua's nagging, Fu Hua immediately waved her hand and said in a tone full of impatience.

"..."

Upon seeing the Herrscher of Knowledge in this state, Fu Hua, who was already well-versed in how to get along with him, immediately fell silent and looked around to admire the scenery of Mount Taixu.

For a moment, only silence and the chirping of summer insects flowed between the two.

After a while, seeing Fu Hua seemingly lost in the scenery of Mount Taixu, Fu Hua couldn't help but scratch his head.

Even if she doesn't let Yu Duchen interfere with her, surely he wouldn't really remain completely silent?

On this vast Mount Taixu, there are only two living beings. Doesn't Yu Duchen feel bored at all?

Hey! You old fogey!

Why haven't Shihen and his gang come looking for us yet?

Fu Hua finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked.

She was getting tired of spending all her time with Yu Duchen, who insisted that he was Fu Hua.

If she doesn't find some new fun to do soon, she feels like she's about to grow weeds.

"Did you tell them you were on Mount Taixu?"

Fu Hua calmly analyzed the situation.

"That seems to make sense."

Fu Hua stroked her chin thoughtfully, then suddenly stomped her foot, "Pah! Pah! Pah!"

Putting aside the facts, even if I hadn't said anything, wouldn't they have come looking for me on their own?

"I am an immortal who has protected the land for thousands of years. If everything needs to be explained clearly, then what's the point of having them?"

"..."

Seeing the Herrscher of Knowledge start making a ruckus like a spoiled child, Fu Hua couldn't help but sigh and rub her forehead. "So, what are you planning to do this time?"

Although there was no malicious intent on their part, the other party was, after all, a Herrscher, and could cause enormous damage to humans with just a few gestures.

"Hmph! You old fogey, do you know why you always insist that you are Fu Hua?"

Looking at Yu Duchen, Fu Hua asked, a wise glint in her eyes.

"do not know."

Fu Hua honestly shook his head and obediently played the straight man.

"That's because you haven't seen enough people lately!"

Extending a finger and waving it in the air, Fu Hua's lips curled into a smug smile. "You're already severely damaged, your mind isn't very sharp, and you're always immersed in your own fantasies, so of course you won't recognize your true position."
