"No, I just..."
"Why are you stressing over whether you are A Hua? You are you. You are not anyone else. You are an entirely new existence, independent of A Hua."
"You..."
A hint of panic flashed in Senti's eyes, and then her cheeks flushed slightly.
Although Kiana denied that she was Fu Hua, she acknowledged the legitimacy of her existence!
"You are the Herrscher of Sentience, Senti. You're completely different from that Old Timer, A Hua. You're tsundere and stubborn, lively and arrogant, and you have that air of looking down on everything. A Hua doesn't have that, you know~"
"Hmph~ At least you have good taste! But I am *not* tsundere and stubborn!"
Senti crossed her arms, quite pleased with Kiana's words.
Aside from the 'tsundere and stubborn' part, the other compliments were excellent, especially recognizing her air of looking down on everything!
Truly worthy of being her best sister!
Of course, this was Senti's own highly optimistic assessment.
"Alright, now you don't think you're Fu Hua anymore, right?"
Kiana looked at the tsundere Senti with a half-smile, teasing her.
In response, Senti completely reversed her previous attitude and glared at Fu Hua with utter disdain.
"Hmph, who is that blockheaded Old Timer anyway!"
"..."
Fu Hua opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but stopped.
How could she be like this... She was just desperately trying to prove she was Fu Hua a moment ago, and now she's looking down on her... Fu Hua felt quite helpless internally, but decided not to dwell on it, as the other party was still just a newly born child.
"In that case, I have another Great Grandmaster now, right?"
Li Sushang clapped her hands with a bright smile, looking very happy.
She felt like she would get along very well with this Great Grandmaster!
"That's right. In the future, you must show proper respect and filial piety to your Great Grandmaster, me."
Senti gave Li Sushang an 'aren't you sensible' look and curled her lips up in satisfaction.
"Naturally~"
Li Sushang nodded slightly.
"Well, that settles everything perfectly~"
Kiana glanced at the people around her, put her hands on her hips, and gave a warm smile.
All this hard work was for this outcome! Congratulations are in order!
"Oh right, Senti, give A Hua her body back. I'll make you a new one."
Kiana said, looking at Senti.
Having mastered the Herrscher of Finality's clearance, conjuring a physical body was an easy task, requiring no effort!
"Hmph, who cares about this Old Timer's body!"
Senti curled her lip. Although she said she didn't care, it was clear she didn't want to give it up.
But since Kiana had said so, she had to obey.
Fu Hua's body suddenly went limp. Rita, who was standing nearby, stepped forward slightly and elegantly caught Fu Hua to prevent her body from falling.
"Thank you..."
Fu Hua nodded to Rita, then used Fenghuang Down to guide her complete consciousness back into her own body.
Upon waking, Fu Hua sensed the extra herrscher core inside her body and then moved around a bit.
It had been a long time since she had felt so completely full of power.
Especially now, with the addition of the herrscher core, her overall strength had improved compared to before.
This way, when Warahip faces danger, she can also contribute her share of strength.
As for the Divine Realm, there were no longer too many worries.
After all, Kiana had now become the Herrscher of Finality, and the Honkai Energy concentration in the world had dropped to a relatively safe threshold.
Kiana walked over after seeing Fu Hua regain control of her body.
"A Hua, let me deconstruct your body, okay?"
"No problem."
"Then I'm going in, *cough cough*, here I go."
After receiving Fu Hua's consent, Kiana extended her palm, facing Fu Hua.
A faint purple glow flashed in Kiana's eyes, and after a moment, the analysis was complete.
Kiana then used her clearance to create a body that was slightly different from Fu Hua's in eye color.
"Looks pretty good! Let me try it out!"
Seeing that the body was a perfect 1:1 rerun, Senti couldn't wait to slip into it.
She slightly opened her pair of crimson eyes, looked left and right at her clenched fists, and felt the herrscher core wrapped in a trace of silver essence inside her body, leaping up excitedly.
"This body is much easier to use than the Old Timer's!"
Although she didn't know what that silver essence was, the subtle pressure it exerted made her feel that it was definitely a good thing.
Moreover, the clearance of consciousness was much easier to use; she felt like the consciousness of all things itself!
Of course, this was just her getting carried away.
Kiana was somewhat surprised as she looked through Senti's body to see her inner essence.
The herrscher core, imbued with her Divine Breath, was functioning around Senti's core without any side effects.
Does this mean that if Senti fully masters the cultivation of the Breath of God in the future, she also has the potential to become a god?
Kiana wasn't sure, so she walked over to Fu Hua and, under the latter's puzzled gaze, placed her hand where the herrscher core was located.
"Kiana...?"
Fu Hua's cheeks flushed slightly for a moment, and there was a barely noticeable tremor in her voice.
What... what did Kiana mean by this... Just as Fu Hua's mind began to wander, Kiana suddenly withdrew her hand and stared intently at the spot she had just touched.
In Kiana's vision, the core inside Fu Hua's body had also been coated with a layer of Divine Breath by her.
Likewise, it was operating normally without any abnormal reaction from Fu Hua herself.
This means... "I can transfer a small amount of my Divine Breath to others, guiding them to cultivate the Breath of God?!"
Upon realizing this, Kiana's eyes widened suddenly, and she murmured distractedly.
This was a major discovery. If more and more of their own people cultivated the Breath of God, it was terrifying to imagine the potential.
Soon, Kiana regained her composure.
Currently, the herrscher core was merely acting as a vessel for her Breath of God, but what would happen if she guided it directly into someone's body... Kiana didn't dare to test it immediately, fearing that without a vessel to bear the load, the recipient might explode.
"Ah... I can first teach them to control their own essence, progressing step by step until they can withstand the Breath of God before cultivating divine power."
Kiana's eyes lit up, feeling that this method was feasible.
"Kiana, your expression keeps changing. Is the power of the Herrscher of Finality putting some kind of strain on you?"
Bianca walked over, looking at Kiana with a crease of worry between her brows.
Having suddenly gained a biological sister, if anything happened to her, she would be heartbroken.
Especially since, for some reason, this sister was as cute as a kitten.
The others also looked over upon hearing this, their faces showing concern.
"No, no, I'm fine, I was just thinking about something."
Seeing their reaction, Kiana quickly waved her hands dismissively.
Seeing this, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
"By the way, A Hua, do you have any plans now? Do you want me to send you back to Warahip?"
"I need to go back to Mount Taixu to bring back some of my things, as well as the Chunbulao I planted some time ago."
Fu Hua pondered for a moment before speaking to Kiana in a calm tone.
The Book of Fuxi has been dormant for a long time. Xianzhou should have a way to produce energy.
Senti, standing nearby, turned pale upon hearing Fu Hua's words.
"Hey, Old Timer, you really shouldn't take that Chunbulao!"
