Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 221: Realm 1 connects the realms, why are close friends of ten thousand years separated?

Half an hour later——

Destiny Headquarters, Floating Island, Test Site.

"Ahh... after all the twists and turns, we're finally here..."

Jiang Ming subconsciously rubbed his shoulder, which was not very sore, and breathed a sigh of relief. After Alvette came to remind him, he still did not choose the space teleportation. This also caused him, a popular man of destiny, to be entangled by many Valkyries, who asked to take photos with him.

Fortunately, when they saw the Undying Blade uniform that Jiang Ming rarely wore, even the new Valkyries who didn't know about the Second God Key's activation experiment didn't continue to make too many demands due to Jiang Ming's gentle personality. They knew some things about Jiang Ming before they came to the Sky Mandate headquarters, and one of them was that he didn't like wearing the uniform. In response to this, Jiang Ming's answer was -

It feels too serious to wear. Sometimes even some Valkyries are a little nervous and speak incoherently when facing me. Anyway, it’s just a change from female style to male style, not made by Rita. Well... I won’t wear it~~

“It’s spectacular.”

Jiang Ming looked at the black and gold locomotive standing on a giant ring-shaped device. After a week, the experiments and research on the Second God's Key had made great progress, and there were many more auxiliary devices around it.

Afterwards, Jiang Ming caught a glimpse of Yulandel and Rita who had changed into the blue and white Moon Soul and Moon Soul armors.

"Ah... they are here after all."

After whispering softly, Jiang Ming stood beside Youlandel, almost sticking close to her, and asked in a low voice.

"What happened before..."

"First focus on completing this mission. Once the mission is completed, you can do whatever you want to do."

"Uh... Although I didn't mean to do anything, I always feel that there is something wrong with this sentence..."

"Is that so? Kelita also told me something similar."

"It's of a different nature."

After exhaling all the air in his chest, Jiang Ming heard a hearty and joyful sound in his ears.

"Oh~, it's been a long time since I last saw you, my friend. It's been exactly a week. I'm really happy that you won't be late."

"Otto..."

Jiang Ming glanced back and saw Otto looking at him with a smile on his face. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes - although this guy was always like this when facing him, he always felt a bad feeling in his heart, but he did not rule out the possibility that he was just being too suspicious.

"Haha, don't frown like that. I heard from a Valkyrie that you used a special method to make an ice sword. As long as you hold it in your hand, calm down, and feel it carefully, you can comprehend the sword moves. The rest is just polishing and actual combat."

Otto's smile grew even wider.

"This will undoubtedly raise the combat power of our Destiny Valkyries to a higher level, and will also reduce casualties in the fight against Honkai. Here - I would like to thank you on behalf of Destiny."

"No need to thank me. You should know that this is not the reason why I provided this method to Tianming. Oh, by the way."

When Jiang Ming was recalling his memories before his retreat, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Although I know you have been very busy these days and there may not be any progress, I still want to ask how my research on the God-killing Armor is going?"

"Haha, please rest assured, my friend. This set of armor will be fully ready in front of you in a year. Don't think that this time is slow. After all, you have made a lot of requests. However, in view of your contribution to Tianming, our two major research institutes will naturally study and produce it seriously. And I assure you that the performance of this set of armor will completely surpass the previous God-killing Armor, including the Brilliant Knight Yuepo."

"Thank you, Your Excellency the Bishop."

Jiang Ming smiled slightly. Seeing this, Otto looked at Yulandel who was holding the black abyss and white flower beside him, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

[Report, energy charge rate reaches 80%...85%......]

“Alright, everyone in the Immortal Blade, stay alert. We don’t know what will fall out of the space crack. No matter what happens, we must first protect the core of the Second God’s Key!”

Otto looked serious as he looked intently at the huge locomotive in the center of the field.

"The first activation time of the Second God Key - start!"

zizi——

With the infusion of Honkai energy, a rich purple light condensed from the front of the car, and then a purple beam of light rushed into the sky, opening a huge dark red space door.

At the same time, an extremely bright purple star appeared in the center of the space gate——

...................

Sumeru mustard seed——

A man with waist-length gray-green hair sat with his back against a tree. His eyes were slightly closed, and he should not be able to see anything clearly, but in this situation he raised his hand to catch a withered yellow leaf that was about to fall.

"Another leaf has fallen..."

Su muttered to himself that before their world was destroyed, every Forerunner was entrusted by Dr. Mei with the task of fighting against Honkai, of course, including him.

What was given to Su was the Hengsha Project to observe other [worlds]. Every leaf on the tree represented a possibility of defeating the collapse.

Su placed the leaf in his hand in front of his eyes. Although he did not open his eyes, he could "see clearly" what was in the leaf - a beautiful woman in purple clothes, white hair and golden eyes.

Normally, if an ordinary human man saw this girl, he would probably be amazed by her appearance, but when Su saw this girl, he just sighed.

"...Alas, this [world] has also failed. The civilization destroyed by the collapse can only wither away like these fallen leaves...quietly turning into [bubbles]... "

During these thousands of years, the number of leaves Su had seen was as numerous as the grains of sand in the Ganges River (a Buddhist term meaning, like the sand in the Ganges River, which is impossible to count, and describes a large number).

The victor must fall, and the once glorious civilization will eventually wither. However, when Su looked up, the trees were still lush and green, and the leaves would fall and grow again soon. In comparison, human life is just a short moment.

"A limited life and endless leaves to look at, this is really a hopeless plan, but fortunately, I have found the answer I want."

Su Youyou stood up and walked to the pond five meters away from her. She looked at the back of her best friend in the water, and there was a hint of subtle pain in her tone.

"My dear friend... Thousands of years have passed. Have you found your answer? Or are you still trapped in the illusion of the past?"

Su took a deep breath, sat cross-legged by the pond and continued talking to himself.

"Back then, I deceived you and trapped you in the Quantum Sea. To atone for my sin, I also locked myself in the Second God Key. I dare not say a word to you after betraying you, but every time I see the thousandth fallen leaf, I will come to the river to take a look at you————Hmm!?"

At this moment, Su suddenly felt the disturbance in space. He frowned subconsciously and a drop of cold sweat fell on his face.

Not only that, several messy ripples also appeared on the surface of the pond. A handsome white-haired man in a certain space seemed to have noticed something strange. He looked at the huge cherry tree swaying and rustling behind him, and was slightly startled. His blue eyes were still as cold as before, without a trace of emotion.

But Su then chuckled.

"I see... The person I've been waiting for has finally arrived. Looks like I have to go first, Kevin."

Su stood up slowly again, took a look at the pond, and resolutely turned and left.

"Goodbye...my dear friend..."
