After the explanation was complete, a celebratory feast was naturally held to welcome everyone.
Once the feast ended, Wu Tong and Kiana, not wanting to disturb Fu Hua and the others who had just reunited after a long separation, excused themselves and left.
Wu Tong brought the group back to his room and manually recreated the games he had collected from the world of Yi Ren.
Then, he began challenging the top gamers of Honkai Impact 3rd's world—specifically, Bronya Zaychik, the "Silver Wolf of the Urals," who dominated the leaderboards of the Honkai gaming scene.
However…
"Ah? Dead again."
Wu Tong looked at his character, which had just been KO'd once more, and sighed helplessly.
As expected, my gaming skills just aren't enough to challenge a pro like Bronya, huh?
"Wow, Wu Tong, you're so bad. Can you even win? Don't tell me you're gonna lose to this little midget," Kiana, who had been watching from the sidelines, teased, not wanting to let Bronya have the satisfaction of an easy victory.
"If you're so good, why don't you try?" Wu Tong shot back at the white-haired troublemaker, refusing to take the bait and instead egging her on.
"Wha—me? Play against Bronya?" Kiana froze, blinking in confusion at his suggestion.
"...Nah, forget it. You go ahead," she quickly backtracked after a moment of realization.
Though she hated to admit it, Bronya's gaming skills were undeniably superior to hers. In the past, Kiana had frequently challenged Bronya in an attempt to prove herself, but no amount of determination could bridge the gap in their skill levels. Unsurprisingly, Kiana had been thoroughly crushed every time, to the point where she'd sworn off ever gaming against Bronya again.
"Tch~"
The others rolled their eyes at the white-haired goofball before ignoring her and returning to the game.
And so, the group immersed themselves in the novelty of the new games, and before they knew it, evening had arrived.
As night fell, Wu Tong took out the Gourmet Tablecloth and shared a meal with Otto and the others who had joined them. Just like that, the day came to an end.
Wu Tong's Fourth Day in This World
St. Freya Academy
Dormitory Building – Ground Floor
"Hey~! Any plans for today?"
Wu Tong greeted Fu Hua and the others with a cheerful smile.
"Wu Tong? Is there something you need?"
Fu Hua studied his grinning face, her instincts telling her that he had come specifically for her.
What's this about?
Before she could ponder further, Wu Tong spoke up.
"Of course there is!"
"If you're free today, how about accompanying me to the Elysian Realm?"
Elysian Realm?
Hearing the name, Fu Hua's expression froze for a moment before she awkwardly replied, "I'm sorry, Wu Tong. As much as I'd like to go, my memories aren't complete. Everything I know about the Previous Era comes from the storylines we've seen."
"So, while I'm aware that World Serpent's headquarters are somewhere in Europe, I don't know the exact location."
Smack!
Wu Tong slapped his forehead after hearing her explanation. "Ah, my bad! How could I forget to heal you?"
It suddenly dawned on him that he had neglected to treat Fu Hua's injuries. Strictly speaking, the current Fu Hua didn't have her past memories—everything she knew came from the world's plotlines discussed in the chat group.
But since those storylines were primarily from the perspective of the Three Herrschers Arc, some details were inevitably missing for Fu Hua.
With a snap of his fingers, a green light flowed into Fu Hua's body.
The next moment, before she could react, Fu Hua's mind was engulfed in a daze.
Her body, like parched earth blessed with rain, began to rejuvenate. And with it came the flood of memories—
Her life at the martial arts school, Captain Himeko, Kevin, the MANTIS Project, Elysia, the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, the Elysian Realm…
Memories of the Previous Era's battle against the Honkai, her role as the Guardian of Shenzhou in the Current Era, and even the memories of her injuries—everything rushed back at once.
Fu Hua felt as though every fragment of her past was surging into her consciousness, revived alongside her healing body.
But the sheer volume of memories was overwhelming. Caught off guard by the torrent, Fu Hua's mind short-circuited, and she collapsed unconscious.
Fortunately, Xiao Xuan reacted swiftly, catching Fu Hua and gently lowering her to the ground.
"Mr. Wu Tong, you could've at least warned us first!"
After laying Fu Hua down, the girls turned to Wu Tong with reproachful looks.
"I didn't expect this either! I thought her memories would return gradually after her body healed. Who knew they'd all rush in at once?" Wu Tong scratched his head awkwardly.
Hearing his explanation, the girls could only sigh in resignation.
Well… who could've predicted this?
"Speaking of which… now might actually be the perfect opportunity."
Dan Zhu, reassured that Fu Hua was merely unconscious, suddenly had a mischievous idea and grinned.
"???" ×n
The others, not understanding her train of thought, turned to her in confusion.
"Little Senti!"
"Didn't we say a few days ago that we wanted to bring her into existence?"
Seeing their blank stares, Dan Zhu elaborated.
"!!!" ×n
Ohhh!
Realization dawned on everyone's faces.
With no objections raised, Dan Zhu eagerly turned to Wu Tong.
"Wu Tong, quick! Do it now!"
Her eyes sparkled with anticipation. If anyone could make "Little Senti" a reality, it was undoubtedly Wu Tong.
After all, over the past few days, they had all witnessed just how absurdly capable this boy was—practically a Doraemon-level miracle worker.
"But… Fu Hua—"
"Ugh, Fu Hua already agreed to it days ago! Stop overthinking it!" Dan Zhu cut him off impatiently.
"Em… alright, I'll do it."
Wu Tong didn't refuse. After all, this was the Herrscher of Sentience they were talking about—he'd been wanting to meet her for a while now.
With everyone's approval, Wu Tong waved his hand and constructed a Simulated Feather of Xuanyuan, transferring all of Fu Hua's consciousness into it.
All that remained on the ground was an empty shell of a body.
Then, Wu Tong summoned a massive amount of Honkai energy and channeled it directly into Fu Hua's vacant vessel.
The girls watched with bated breath, excitement bubbling as they waited for the birth of the Herrscher of Sentience.
"What's going on?"
Fu Hua, now forcibly separated from her physical body, woke up immediately.
Taking the form of the Vermillion Phoenix immortal, the now-spiritual Fu Hua stared at the scene before her in bewilderment.
"It's like this…"
Wu Tong quickly explained the situation.
"I see… So you're using this chance to facilitate Little Senti's birth?"
After hearing him out, the confusion in Fu Hua's eyes faded. Like the others, she turned her gaze to her own body lying on the ground, a faint trace of anticipation in her expression.
