Chapter 69: Bodhi: Su II
"Not long after, the Eighth Eruption descended. The resulting Eighth Herrscher possessed the ability to modify memetic vocabulary to halt human social activity."
"To locate the Eighth Herrscher, the last suitable candidates within the organization were transformed into MANTISes; Su was one of them. They proactively entered the Herrscher's dreamscape to search for its position."
"Ultimately, Su successfully pinpointed the Herrscher's coordinates, but the Dr. Sophie sacrificed herself to pull Su's consciousness back. Afterward, Su was transferred to Headquarters to join the research for Project Stigma."
"During the Final Battle, the Moonlight Throne operated under overload, causing the Herrscher of the End to lose 30% of her Honkai energy. Kevin's full-power strike temporarily halted the Herrscher of the End's movements."
"In these final 10 hours, Su initiated Project Sanctuary, sinking the shelters underground to evade the gaze of the Herrscher of the End. Although Kevin successfully survived, MEI was on the verge of being completely eroded by Honkai."
"At the end, MEI entrusted Kevin to Su, asking him to watch over Kevin and ensure he did not stray onto the wrong path. Ultimately, Su, Kevin, and the other surviving humans entered the underground shelters and began their cryogenic sleep. They would not wake again until fifty thousand years later."

[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kevin: MEI… ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - MEI: There is no need to worry about me. Keep moving forward and defeat the Honkai! ]
[ Genshin Impact - Xingqiu: I've been meaning to ask, can those stasis pods really keep a person alive for as long as fifty thousand years? ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Herta: Theoretically, as long as all your biological activities are suspended and your body is frozen using specialized technology, you can achieve a form of immortality—but you lose the ability to act. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Ruan Mei: Life is a miraculous thing. If you revere it, it will revere you; if you do not, it can destroy you. ]

"At the end of the 5th century AD, due to the successive failures of Project Ark, Project Ember, and Project Valuka, Kevin decided to initiate Project Stigma."
"However, Project Stigma was the final move on the board. Su was unwilling to let Kevin destroy the future of human civilization and decided to intervene should Kevin stray onto the wrong path."
"Subsequently, Kevin's behavior in using the British Isles as an experimental ground confirmed to Su that Kevin had indeed gone astray. Knowing Kevin's strength, Su lured him to the Second Divine Key, Cosmic Juggernaut, and trapped him within a Sea of Quanta world bubble. He fought Kevin to stall for time while secretly activating the Second Divine Key's First Rated Output, sinking the world bubble they were in to the bottom of the Sea of Quanta to stop Kevin."
"Kevin could have destroyed the core of the Second Divine Key before the passage to the Sea of Quanta opened, but he gave up because he cared for Su, who was sacrificing himself to stall for time. As the world bubble was about to sink into the Sea of Quanta, Kevin threw Su back into the real world, while he himself sank to the bottom of the Sea of Quanta along with the world bubble."
"Because he failed to perceive Kevin's pain, Su felt immense guilt and considered himself a betrayer. In the remaining fifteen hundred years before the descent of the Herrscher of the End, Su taught the awakened Stigma-bearer Arthur how to use this power so he could protect the residents of the British Isles."
"Afterward, he re-entered the Second Divine Key to continue the observations of Project Valuka. This was both the fulfillment of his mission and an act of atonement for imprisoning Kevin. During these thousands of years, Su continuously observed other worlds through the Imaginary Tree, searching for the possibility of defeating Honkai. Among these worlds, the existence of Bianca 'Durandal' Ataegina left a deep impression on Su."
…
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Durandal: Eh, me? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Su: Oh, interesting. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Xuan Yong: A very brave person, and it seems her wisdom is not inferior to those fellows favored by Nous. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Herta: I don't think we are any worse than her. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Ningguang: The Imaginary Tree and the Sea of Quanta? ]
Although the Imaginary Tree and the Sea of Quanta had been mentioned in previous inventories, the people of the world of Genshin Impact, having never truly come into contact with these two things, were still quite curious.
[ Genshin Impact - Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: Heh, if you dare touch those two things, I can make Liyue disappear directly from the continent of Teyvat. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Zhongli: You seem to have forgotten that I am still here. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: Never mind you—even if you add the other six, you wouldn't be my match. Oh, right, it should be five soon. ]
At this moment, Focalors, who was inside the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, saw the words of the Heavenly Principles, and her pupils couldn't help but shrink into slits.
…
"In the year 2015 AD, Bianca participated in Otto's experiment with the Second Divine Key. Sensing this, Su pulled Bianca into the Seed of Sumeru and requested that she execute a mission capable of defeating Honkai. Because Su was unwilling to explain the actual plan, Bianca refused."
"Thus, Su used the power of the Divine Key to forcibly test Bianca, making her experience his own history and accept his legacy. During Bianca's final trial, she did not choose to activate the Second Divine Key to seal Kevin as Su had. Instead, she perceived Rita's pain and chose to bear it with her."
"This choice shook Su, and Bianca consequently woke up, breaking free from the illusion. Bianca stated her stance to Su—that 'the fate of this era should be decided by the humans of this era'—which awakened the lost Su."
"Returning to his original intentions, Su abandoned his initial plan and left the future of this era to be decided by its people. He gave the power of the Seed of Sumeru to Bianca as an apology and entrusted the Second Divine Key to her."
"At the same time, because he saw the deep bond between Bianca and Otto within the vision, Su recorded some information regarding parallel worlds into a leaf and asked Bianca to deliver it to Otto. Due to his actions over the years of pushing past his limits to accelerate the observation of parallel worlds, Su's lifespan was nearing its end."
"At the end of his life, Su sank into the Sea of Quanta along with the world bubble, heading toward the world after death to seek the truth of the universe that transcends Honkai. An unknown entity there requested Su to play a game of chess with him, offering the truth he sought in exchange for victory."
…
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kevin: Su… ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Su: What is it, Kevin? Have you still not reached enlightenment? From the moment we stepped onto this path, we should have guessed that we would one day meet our end. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - MEI: Alright, alright, you don't need to be so sad. With the Inventory Livestream Room, we can still change our future. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Xuan Yong: Haha, this is the time for me to come out and say a few things. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Bronya: You should just stay quiet. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Xuan Yong: Fine! ]
[ Genshin Impact - Venti: Friendship is a very precious thing. Don't let it fall apart over small matters. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Zhongli: Azhdaha. ]
