Chapter 117 A Past Life Connection - A Piece of Chocolate
……
Yun Fuyu and Xier each stretched out a hand and grasped the deformed etheric singularity.
[Gold says: The Honkai will destroy everything here.]
This is the reason why Herrschers were born. The alteration by the Shadow of Darkness implanted the Honkai rules of the original world into this world out of thin air, which is the Herrscher.
Yun Fuyu altered it, causing its own fate of destruction to be destroyed.
Seele incorporated it into the Aetheric Singularity, allowing the rules of the Collapse to be preserved.
Seele in the World Bubble is temporarily out of danger.
[Gold says: This is a story that seems familiar to me.]
This is the origin of the world bubble of memories.
Why is Seele's story, the story of the lie from the clouds and rain, described as "déjà vu"?
Seele seemed lost in thought—she suddenly realized that in her countless nightmare cycles with Yun Fuyu, there did indeed seem to be a similar story. (That is, her playmate from the orphanage, whom she later reunited with in the Honkai disaster area, where Seele became a Herrscher.)
What could be the connection between these two?
Although Yun Fuyu was surprised, she had no time to think about it deeply. Instead, she integrated this seemingly harmless rule into the Ethereal Singularity.
The gold remained silent; a chain pierced through it.
This is……
Sensing that this was half of the "Fate Link between Cloud and Rain" that Seele had stolen from World Bubble, this link, empowered by the power of the Origin Land and the special rules of World Bubble, rendered "Gold" speechless, thus halting the influence on World Bubble.
Brilliant! From now on, whenever Seele appears in a world bubble, Yun Fuyu can just go up and cast a vow on Seele. Wouldn't that allow him to both abduct a Seele and save the world at the same time?
Seele immediately opened her eyes and glared at him fiercely! But the girl's puffed-up appearance was so cute that it was completely harmless.
Yun Fuyu gave an awkward smile, closed his eyes, and retracted the chains. The true form of this rule then appeared before him—
Gold says: I will destroy everything that does not suit my taste.
This rule even supersedes the principle that "Honkai will inevitably destroy everything." For example, if "Honkai" displeases the "contaminated etheric singularity," then the world's rules will prioritize eliminating the Honkai!
It's incredibly contradictory and bizarre.
Yun Fuyu tried to avert the destiny of destruction, but with little success. Therefore, he and Seele had no choice but to join forces and slightly modify the rule to integrate it into the etheric singularity.
The new rule is: I will not destroy anything that pleases me.
In this way, the world bubble is basically safe.

They both opened their eyes, the Aetheric Singularity still in their palms. Taking advantage of this moment of spiritual connection, Seele winked at him: "So? Now you don't doubt Seele's identity anymore, right?"
(Note: The same principle applies to the previous journey to the Sea of Quanta. The mutual trust between Yun Fuyu and Seele reached the point of spiritual fusion, which intensified the power of the Origin Land and repaired the Aether Singularity affected by the Shadow of Darkness.)
Yun Fuyu blinked: I never doubted you, I just doubted whether I was still dreaming.
Seele blinked: Dreams don't have such exciting stories. Besides, the situation at the time was indeed an unforeseen special circumstance (fusion warrior surgery), and it's unlikely there would be a second time.
Yun Fuyu blinked again: Even so, weren't you also tricked by Alicia once? Last time on the trip to Australia, you were really kept in the dark the whole time.
Seele blinked rapidly: It's all that wicked woman's fault! I'll definitely get my revenge next time we meet!
Ugh, it seems like I've suddenly become much more irritable.
Yun Fuyu suddenly thought of something and blinked: If you were Bai Xier from the current civilization, what would be the deal with creation and death?
Seele turned her head slightly and blinked helplessly: "Because I was a little scared when I came into this world, I subconsciously grabbed a part of the consciousness of the other Seele (Black Seele). If I really fully recover my memories, that Seele (Death) will return to Seele (Black Seele) too..."
Yun Fuyu blinked: Um, I won't lie to you. Actually, I feel a little uncomfortable about the fact that you're the current Seele. But please rest assured, after all this time together, Seele is still my absolute favorite!
Seele pouted to hide her shyness, glancing at him sideways: Has that world's Seele been promoted to the "most, most, most, most" favorite group? Childhood sweetheart + new love interest + current boyfriend, a trinity—even I'm smitten!
Yun Fuyu shrugged: If that's really how you think, there's nothing I can do.
He blinked: "I still have many questions, but let's talk about them when we get back. Besides, the Origin Land isn't safe anymore; there might be Alicia's cameras there!"
Well, he speculated that Alicia might be a second-playthrough player, and the Origin Land had long since become her private domain, which was why she was able to use the power of dreams to forge a fateful link between him and Seele, thereby restoring his humanity. (One speculation)
Seele blinked one last time: Don't you like Alicia?
Honestly, after traveling to Australia with Alicia, Seele realized she might have developed a bit of a crush on her. Such a lively, cheerful, beautiful, and innocent girl… well, besides Seele, she really does exist!
Yun Fuyu responded with a smile: Of course I like you more than Alicia.
———The spiritual connection is broken———
World Bubble Seele immediately rushed over and hugged Yun Fuyu's arm tightly, smiling through her tears: "Thank you... thank you all!"
...Well, although it may seem like a rather unadulterated journey, for Seele, the original head of the world bubble, they truly saved her and the world.
Yun Fuyu accepted World Bubble Seele's gratitude somewhat embarrassedly, then patted her shoulder, gesturing for her to look at Seele, and said, "No need to thank me. We've also experienced a similar story to yours, and we know what a tragedy this is. So, being able to save everyone is a kind of redemption for us as well."
Regardless, those days when he thought Seele was gone, though it only lasted less than a month, were filled with confusion and utter numbness. Now, being able to save a world and a lovely Seele with his own power... Wow, that's so cool!
With his hand on her shoulder, Seele could only awkwardly say "thank you." But deep down, she still couldn't accept the fact that she was the other woman…
After all, look at it now, the etheric singularity has been repaired, but her memories haven't changed. Doesn't this indirectly prove that what Mr. Su said before was wrong?
(Su says: The memories you retain are not real, but rather 'false' brought about by the shadow of darkness.)
In any case, this was Miss Seele's last desperate struggle.
Upon hearing Seele's thanks, Seele rubbed her face, then refrained from showing a smug smile. Instead, she smiled and nodded very ladylike, offering some words of comfort.
For a moment, they seemed to have a very close sisterly bond.
Hei Xier found it offensive. But she couldn't bear to glare at Xier, so she glared fiercely at the "culprit," Yun Fuyu.
Yun: ? ? What did I do now??
With the matter seemingly resolved, everyone calmed down and prepared to return to the Firemoth base here with the warriors of Worldbubble for a temporary rest.
After all, there's still the matter of the Shadow of Darkness that needs to be discussed. And Dr. Mei here might know something.
Using walking as a means of teleportation—actually traversing the fragile space of the world bubble—Seele, who was walking ahead, suddenly reached into her pocket and frowned slightly in confusion.
"Seele, what's wrong? What are you looking for?"
Hei hope was the first to ask a question.
World Bubble Seele gently shook her head: "It's nothing... Hmm, I had a few chocolates in my pocket, but I don't know where they went. I probably lost them during the battle."
Upon hearing this, neither Hei Xier nor Yun Fuyu reacted, but Xier paused for a moment, her hand involuntarily reaching for her pocket.
The flamboyant red dress had no pockets, but there were two chocolates in the pocket of the loose white coat she was wearing.
