Chapter 90: Vicissitude: Hua VII
"However, Kiana remained deeply troubled by Fu Hua's betrayal, unwilling to trust her, and rejected Fu Hua's suggestion to return to Theresa. Faced with Kiana's stubbornness, Fu Hua made a decision in her heart: if things reached the point of no return, she would ensure all three of them perished together."
"After the Honkai energy within Kiana spiraled out of control, she decided to end everything by taking her own life rather than succumb to the Herrscher of the Void. At that moment, Fu Hua appeared, suppressing the Herrscher of the Void within the consciousness space. Under the Herrscher of the Void's bewitchment, Fu Hua admitted her mistakes and affirmed her belief in Himeko's choice."
"Afterward, Kiana gained control over the power of the Herrscher of the Void, and the personality of the Second Herrscher was sealed. Kiana remained in Arc City, patrolling the sites of all Honkai beast disasters under Fu Hua's guidance."
"Simultaneously, through the Fenghuang Down, Fu Hua opened the Taixuan Illusion, a junction between her and Kiana's memories, to conduct special training for Kiana in her dreams."
...
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Raiden Mei: Kiana, you are not allowed to have thoughts of suicide in the future. You must live on properly. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kiana: Got it, got it. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Herta: This Fenghuang Down really is a good thing. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Dottore: This Fenghuang Down is much more useful than the Akasha Terminal. ]
At this moment, Dottore, who was in the desert, stroked his chin. Although he had collected quite a few dreams through the Akasha Terminal, the energy was still somewhat insufficient. If he could obtain this Fenghuang Down, perhaps it would accelerate the speed of harvesting dreams.

"During this process, Kiana, realizing that this Honkai outbreak was not a natural occurrence, began gathering various intelligence. Based on the habit of Honkai beasts and zombies being perpetually attracted to areas with higher concentrations of Honkai energy, she found the culprit: the Shenzhou Medical industrial zone. To uncover the secrets of the industrial zone, Fu Hua, understanding Otto's personality, proposed dragging Schicksal into the mess, leaving the investigation to them."
"After Rita took action, Kiana infiltrated as well. During this time, she discovered the Stigmata experiment records on Shenzhou Medical and observation logs regarding Fu Hua. From the mention of the 'Omniscient and Omnipotent Snake' recorded therein, Fu Hua thought of Kevin and, while realizing he was the mastermind behind Shenzhou Medical, was surprised that he was still alive."
"For certain reasons, Kiana and Fu Hua's consciousnesses became intertwined. Following Kiana's dreams, Fu Hua was also able to recall forgotten pasts. Based on her understanding of Kevin, Fu Hua hoped Kiana would leave Arc City, but Kiana, not wanting every choice she made to be an act of running away, decided to return to the industrial zone to catch Raven and pry out the details of the plan."
"However, she subsequently fell into Raven's trap and was captured. While Kiana was undergoing Jackal's experiment, Fu Hua, fearing Sirin's reawakening, continuously called out to Kiana's consciousness."
...
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Elysia: Kevin, how could you lay a hand on such a cute girl? This is not good behavior, you know. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kevin: I didn't know. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Herta: The 'Omniscient and Omnipotent Snake'—but why is it Kevin, and not Mobius? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Jackal: Tch. ]
...
"When Kiana couldn't stop the experiment from initiating in time, Fu Hua exerted all her strength to bind the Herrscher of the Void's personality, allowing Kiana to fully channel the Core of the Void and arrive at the top of the tower before the experiment began. After this incident, Kiana was taken by Bianka to Schicksal's experimental base in North Africa. She escaped when the base was attacked by World Serpent, but was intercepted by Kevin."
"When Kevin was about to kill Kiana, Fu Hua appeared to stop him, helping Kiana cover her retreat so she could escape. Ultimately, because she lacked sufficient energy support, Fu Hua could not defeat Kevin. With her energy nearly exhausted, Fu Hua fell into a deep sleep, her consciousness residing in a single feather, which was taken and sealed by Kevin."
"Under Otto's treatment, Fu Hua's body recovered to the peak state it had been in five hundred years ago. Her awakened consciousness, guided by the Id, Ego, and Superego, killed Otto, retrieved the feather from his corpse, and destroyed half of Schicksal. But Otto was not so easily killed; the resurrected Otto guided 'Hua' to find Kevin to recover the feather."
"'Hua' caused a commotion within World Serpent that drew out Kevin, and after a brief clash, she retrieved the feather. Afterward, 'Hua' unlocked the seal Kevin had placed on the feather and injected Honkai energy to awaken the consciousness within."
"The awakened Fu Hua discovered that a new consciousness had been born in the body she had abandoned, but 'Hua' did not take the original Fu Hua seriously, believing this to be a cognitive error caused by Fu Hua's consciousness transfer."
"'Hua' knew that time would not wait for her to adapt; she needed to become Hua as soon as possible. So, she came to Mount Taixuan, which could be called home, attempting to overcome her fear of unfamiliar memories and accept herself."
...
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Sparkle: Oh, a dual consciousness? But this newly born consciousness can actually suppress the original? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kevin: What is going on? Why do I always feel that Hua in this form has a familiar feeling? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Mei: Herrscher of Sentience. ]
At this moment, Dr. Mei, watching the inventory livestream, raised an eyebrow at Hua's various strange behaviors.
[ Genshin Impact - Collei: Ah, is this big sister going to turn into a Herrscher? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Hua: ... ]
...
"'Hua' discovered that a Honkai phenomenon had occurred in a village near Mount Taixuan. Under Fu Hua's guidance, she eliminated the Honkai beasts in the village, but not a single person in the village survived."
"Fu Hua had once placed numerous Xuanyuan Swords and Fenghuang Downs on Mount Taixuan; ordinary Honkai outbreaks could hardly affect this place. Yet, after they arrived, the Honkai erupted. Fu Hua believed this was because 'Hua' was a Herrscher."
"'Hua' denied Fu Hua's assertion and, after clearing the Honkai on Mount Taixuan, intended to reclaim this feather of Fu Hua. However, even if Fu Hua put up no resistance, 'Hua' could not absorb her; they were two different souls."
"Fu Hua pointed out that although 'Hua' believed she was fighting for humanity, everything she did benefited the Honkai. She was executing the will of the Honkai; she was a Herrscher."
"'Hua' believed Fu Hua's accusation held no weight; even if she were a Herrscher, she was still fighting for humanity."
"At this moment, Kiana and Bronya arrived at Mount Taixuan on the Helios. 'Hua' decided to leave the question of 'who is the real Fu Hua' for them to answer."
...
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kiana: Ah, leave it to me? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Bronya: Stupid Kiana, it's me, not you. What kind of solution could you possibly come up with, with that brain the size of a tuna? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kiana: Ah, Bronya, I want to duel you. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Bronya: Simple-minded, physically developed tuna, have you finished your make-up exams? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kiana: Ah, this... ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Xuanyong: Hehehehe, there's a good show about to start. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Firefly: Ah? Is something about to happen? ]
As this inventory livestream broadcasted, people from the three worlds realized that this Aeon of Destiny seemed to know things they did not.
