The screen shifts, arriving at the Hyperion.
After finishing training, Kiana, after a brief rest, immediately rushed to the door of Fu Hua's room.
She stood in front of the door for a while, then shouted toward the inside, "Class Monitor, can I come in?"
As soon as Kiana finished speaking, the door automatically slid open.
Inside the room, Fu Hua was standing there, as if she had already predicted her arrival.
But Kiana's gaze was involuntarily attracted by the photo on the bedside table. It was a yellowed old photo. Standing beside Fu Hua was the white-haired man she had always longed for.
In the photo, the man's smile was still so gentle, just like the smile he showed when he saved them back then.
('Kiana, raise your head and keep moving forward, turn this imperfect world into the appearance you hope for.')
Listening to the voice that sounded in her mind, Kiana took a deep breath.
"Class Monitor, I... I have some questions I want to ask you."
Fu Hua directly asked, "Is it about the issue of the Yuduchen left in your mind by Van?"
Kiana nodded. "These past few days I've felt the power in my mind loosening a bit. I'm afraid that one day the consciousness of the Herrscher of the Void will once again seize control of my mind... just like before… Class Monitor, do you... have a way to help me solve this problem?"
Fu Hua's actions paused for a moment. She was silent for a while, then opened her mouth and said, "Kiana, helping you seal the Herrscher of the Void's consciousness was actually the Eighth Divine Key. But that Divine Key, after Van left, has also gone missing. So, I'm sorry..."
———
[Sigh, even Fu Hua who lived from the past to the present can't help]
[Maybe it's just that each has their own specialty]
[But Kevin said he seems to have a way. Kiana might as well join World Serpent, she could even reunite with Mei]
[Kevin: It's a deal, double the joy!]

[Back to the video.]
After hearing Fu Hua's words, Kiana didn't show any expression of disappointment. Her voice was as calm as still water, as if she had accepted all of this.
"Class Monitor, you don't need to apologize to me." Kiana shook her head and said, "Thank you for telling me all of this."
Looking at the girl in front of her who was so mature she almost felt unfamiliar, Fu Hua felt a bit of pressure in her chest.
She wanted to comfort Kiana, but awkwardly didn't know how to start.
Instead, it was Kiana who noticed Fu Hua's discomfort and took the initiative to change the subject, "By the way, Class Monitor, can you tell me what kind of person Van was in the past?"
At the mention of Van, Fu Hua's gaze unconsciously softened.
"Kiana, Van... during the era of the previous era, was always the one rushing to the front line. Some people who didn't understand would always think he was trying to steal credit, but only we knew, he just didn't want us to get hurt..."
Looking at the light flickering in Fu Hua's eyes, Kiana also subconsciously recalled bit by bit the time spent with Van.
From the moment she met him, the other party had taken care of her in every possible way, just like family. But all of that... Had been destroyed by her own hands.
As if seeing what Kiana was thinking, Fu Hua opened her mouth and said, "The one who caused all of this was Otto... and the Herrscher of the Void..."
But Kiana shook her head and said, "Class Monitor, even if the harm done to others wasn't of my own will, can my past sins just be written off like that?"
———
[Well said!]
[My little bug is really responsible!]
[It's true, every time I see similar plots, I always feel a bit weird, turns out the issue is here!]
[Exactly, some things are not so easy to let go of.]
[Still that phrase, if you haven't suffered like others, don't advise others to be kind.]
———
[Back to the Video.]
Kiana's words left Fu Hua momentarily speechless.
"But don't worry, Class Monitor, before I've paid for all of my sins, I won't fall so easily. Whether it's facing those I've hurt before, or facing Van, in the future I'll personally go to them and bear the consequences..."
Fu Hua looked at Kiana's somewhat resolute back, and it was as if she saw Van from back then.
'That's right!'
"Wait! Kiana."
Fu Hua's eyes suddenly lit up, "Back then, Van and I protected Shenzhou for many years. At the ruins of the Youxiong Clan... there might still be traces of him..."
[Whoa, is this a plot connection?!]
[Holy!! Kind of looking forward to Fu Hua and Kiana seeing Van again]
[Van 3 years old, Hua, Kiana, as long as you admit I'm Van, then the three of us can naturally live a shameless life together!]
[Dude upstairs, don't say shameless so bluntly]
[Three isn't enough. Add me too. I'll be in charge of cooking for everyone.]
[Then I'll be in charge of warming the bed...]

[Back to the Video.]
On the other side, based on the coordinates from the dog-headed woman, Van had finally arrived at her current destination.
Surrounded by green hills, a village with green bricks and white tiles quietly stood, like a paradise hidden from the world.
A stream flowed past a stone bridge, smoke from cooking fires rose slowly, highlighting the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere here.
Van stepped on the stone-paved path, curiously examining this seemingly out-of-this-world place.
At first, the villagers, busy with labor, didn't notice the outsider Van.
But as she walked deeper along the main road, more and more gazes were cast toward her.
The old man farming in the field stopped his hoe, women drying clothes whispered to each other, and children playing nearby hid behind trees to peek.
Looking at the villagers whispering around her, Van unconsciously slowed her steps, a trace of unease flashing through her heart.
"Could it be... outsiders aren't welcome here?"
At that moment, a little girl with pigtails suddenly burst out from the crowd and ran toward Van.
Moments later, Van felt someone hugging her thigh.
She looked down and saw the little girl lifting her blushing face.
"Heehee~ Immortal lady, you're really pretty..."
———
[Disaster! Three-year-old got taken advantage of by another kid!]
[Could this be mutual attraction between children?]
[LMAO, three-year-old Van is totally stunned by the little girl]
