Genshin Impact creator: Alicia, please endorse me.

I just wanted to prepare for that prophecy.

After questioning Sue and Klein, he also discussed the matter with Raven.

There was nothing to be gained.

And just then, that feeling of dizziness returned.

She was pulled back into that dim space.

Compared to before, Mei is much calmer now.

However, even with her composure and vigilance, Mei's body still compels her to obey Aponia's words when she says "please."

This situation is truly terrifying.

All I can say is that he truly deserves to be called the "most outstanding mental perception-type fusion warrior."

But... the terrifying and bizarre nature of the opponent's abilities goes beyond this.

When Aponia's hand touched Mei's hair, she actually possessed that... kind of ability, similar to [memory reading]!!

"Oh...not only have you investigated me thoroughly, but you've also devised a plan to fight back...that's impressive, Mei."

Aponia said this without the slightest hint of sarcasm.

Her voice remained gentle and loving, truly praising Mei.

"Enough!" Realizing that her thoughts had been seen through, Mei finally came to her senses and quickly moved away from Aponia.

Aponia didn't react much, only expressing slight apology:

"Very perceptive. I almost saw what happened when you were with that girl—I didn't mean to."

She paused, then continued, "So, you want to change the fate I see?"

Mei didn't deny it: "That was originally the case, but now... I'm going to make other plans."

Aponia nodded gently: "Because the plan is pointless to expose... It's alright, Mei, just go for it."

"This is also... an inevitable part of a person's growth."

"What a pity, why did it have to end like that?" As she said this, Aponia's gentle tone took on a hint of sorrow and compassion.

"By the time you realize that [it] is unavoidable... you will have to die."

"Just do as you see fit, if... this will give you that pleasant illusion of not being left to your fate before you leave."

If someone else said such a thing in this situation...

That was definitely mocking Mei for overestimating herself.

When Aponia said those words, the players knew that she was genuinely encouraging Mei, not mocking her.

Because, after Alicia confirmed her prophecy, players also know that Aponia had tried many times to change her "fate".

But it never succeeded.

Perhaps, more than anyone else, she hoped that Mei could truly change this "fate".

……

After finishing her conversation with Aponia, Mei consulted with Raven for a while.

Unfortunately, aside from knowing that Aponia's prophecy was indeed accurate, the raven found no other clues.

"I also asked Eden about (the King's Zhao), and the result was similar; almost everyone believed her [prophecy]."

The raven sighed: "So... you have no choice but to believe it, right?"

Mei shook her head: "No, I will not acknowledge the existence of fate."

Raven: "So what are you going to do? Or rather... what can you possibly do?"

After pondering for a moment, Mei said solemnly, "I still believe that the prophecy she told me is limited to the paradise of the past."

"Only in this man-made world can fate unfold according to some predetermined prophecy."

"But if that's the case... what if I reverse my thinking?"

Mei meant that she believed Aponia's "prophecy" was merely a program algorithm similar to that of the Past Paradise.

But let's reverse the thinking—

"Aponia's prophecy was: 'I will die in ten days'..."

"So I'm curious, what if I had already faced a situation where I was certain to die before that? What would have happened then?"

"For this, I must..."

"...Challenging a Thousand Tribulations"

Raven: “…”

Mei acted on her thoughts without the slightest fear or hesitation.

Under the astonished gazes of countless players, Mei found Qianjie and uttered that single word—No—

"A Thousand Calamities"

"Please come over here."

Qian Jie: "??"

P.S.: miHoYo's weapon pool is truly disgusting.

Chapter 240 The "Evil" Saintess...

"Huh?? Herrscher...you've mistaken me for someone else, haven't you?"

Mei's way of greeting completely baffled Senju.

Even Qianjie was starting to doubt whether Mei had mistaken someone for someone else.

"No, this is something I learned from you, Thousand Tribulations."

"Haven't you always been bluffing like this?"

"This is not a new tactic; I've seen many small animals use similar methods to try and scare away predators."

Mei's words elicited a burst of healthy laughter from Senju.

Qianjie appears to be irritable and easily angered.

But he wasn't stupid.

Such a simple chicken-themed strategy is obviously easy to see through at a glance.

He didn't care why Mei wanted to provoke him.

His response to Mei was a fist imbued with a strange power.

"Bang~"

Mei easily blocked the probing punch.

"Okay...okay!"

"Before you provoked me, were you prepared for the worst, Herrscher?"

Mei remained calm, continuing to provoke Senju with her words.

"I think you wouldn't lack the courage to even engage in a fight with your successor without authorization, would you?"

Qianjie laughed loudly: "I didn't think you were that annoying just now, but you insisted on courting death at this moment?"

"Under no circumstances will I show any mercy," Qian Jie said, a warning that was also a reminder.

Ya607's expression was serious: "Of course I understand. Showing no reservations is the only way to show respect; otherwise, you wouldn't bear the inscription of 'annihilation'."

After saying that, Mei added in her mind, "And... I definitely didn't come looking for you."

As if understanding Mei's determination, Senju didn't hesitate any longer and went directly to the depths of Paradise to wait for Mei.

That place was once the final trial site of the [Paradise of the Past].

It was also there that trial participants had died.

"Herrscher, go and explore the deepest parts of Paradise to the best of your ability."

"Even if you have to crawl, you'll get there. Otherwise, you don't even deserve to die by my hand!"

……

The audience got excited at this point.

Perhaps because she has the "immunity card" of the Post-Honkai Odyssey, the audience is not worried about Mei's safety.

What they care about is how the story unfolds.

Kiana didn't hesitate and followed the mission instructions to enter the Paradise Trial level.

Alicia was still waiting for Mei at the entrance to the trial.

"Mei, why do you suddenly look like you're ready to die? Don't give me that 'you've got me covered' look, it'll make me really worried~"

Mei ignored Alicia's teasing.
