Qingque savored the entire storyline with meticulous care.

Even after the story ended, Qingque was still somewhat unsatisfied.

Just like the comments said, she also hoped for more sweet moments, and that the plot of these two chapters would be full of sweet moments.

"I've already been using Himeko's words as my motto."

"When you cry for the sun you've missed, you'll also miss the stars. That's why I always look to tomorrow."

"Let's postpone today's tasks as long as possible."

"We'll talk about tomorrow's problems tomorrow."

Qingque shook her head and said, "How about that? My reading comprehension skills are pretty good, right?"

Clearly, Qingque was in a wonderful mood at that moment.

The audience felt the same way, and coupled with Qingque's amazing reading comprehension ability, they were all laughing their heads off.

All I can say is, he truly lives up to his title as the Emperor of Slacking Off—the Azure Emperor…

"Okay, okay, let's keep watching."

……

After making a brief joke, Qingque quickly turned her attention back to the game's storyline.

After spending time alone with Kiana, the two chatted and laughed with their friends and family for a while.

Afterwards, Dumb Goose and Rita, who had come to provide emergency support, temporarily returned to the Destiny headquarters.

Theresa and Siegfried also established contact through remote communication and adversity quotient.

However, things took a turn for the worse at that moment.

The originally sweet and heartwarming storyline took a dramatic turn.

In the game, Bronya and Seele found Kiana, panting heavily.

"Kiana!"

"In the last half hour since you entered the Sacred Mark Space..."

"Have you seen Mei?"

This sudden change in atmosphere caught Qingque completely off guard.

"No way..."

She felt a little worried, so she turned her head to look at the comments.

"Oh right! Mei has a post-collapse immunity card, so there shouldn't be any worries...々〃 ..."

"I just hope... nothing else happens to anyone else..."

Thinking this, Qingque clicked on the next part of the story.

At the beginning of the story, the perspective shifts back to the Arlene sisters.

One day, Rosalia had a dream in which a green older sister (a big cabbage) woke her up and told her that she had been living in a dream all along.

Reminded by the cabbage, Rosalia finally remembered everything in reality.

Seele, Bronya, these were originally her best friends...

Upon waking up, she immediately sought out Lilia and woke her up as well.

Seeing this, the players became even more curious about the identity of the giant cabbage.

Why has she been quietly interfering with the operation of the Stigmata Project?

Although she never formally intervened in any action against the Stigmata Project.

However, the factions like Destiny and Anti-Merchant were able to quickly return to normalcy amidst the initial chaos, which was absolutely inseparable from the help of this spacetime interventionist.

Even now, she continues to offer hints to those lost in dreams.

Just like the prompt given to Rosalia.

She touches the dream world again and again, giving those who are immersed in beautiful dreams a little hint.

However, as she explored each of those dreams, she discovered something extraordinary.

"This is……"

"Even the [Conquered Herrscher]... cannot completely break free from the shackles of the Stigmata Project on [individual life]?"

Clearly, the dreamlike ball of light in front of Ai is Mei's dream.

The players then realized that the missing Mei... had been pulled into a dream...

Just as Ai was about to touch Mei's dream, a figure suddenly appeared behind her.

"You should know that everything a person does comes at a price... dear intruder."

Ai turned her head and saw that the person who came was... it was Gray Snake.

However, this gray snake's attire was somewhat different from the other gray snakes.

Its armor was actually gold.

During their conversation, the player realized that Mei's sudden appearance in the dream was actually the work of the gray snake.

"Unfortunately, to prevent them from making irreparable mistakes during the [incubation] period, I must only invite one key member back to the dream for a short rest."

"Besides... judging from the content of the dream, this isn't necessarily a bad thing for her."

……

Ai-yi found the gray snake's words utterly repulsive.

In its mouth, whether it's Mei or other humans, they are all called "cogs" and used as "tools" to rebuild the Earth.

This gray snake was indeed just a machine with a humanoid shape, lacking both the tearing power of life and the warmth of life.

...No, to be precise, it is precisely because this gray snake's starting point is so cold that it is more detestable than those beings that simply "lack" these qualities.

The two then engaged in a debate about dreams and reality.

The friend who gave me the candy said, "Candy in dreams has no taste, and games aren't fun either." Then, *splat*, she fell into another child's dream.

"I think it's probably because what she longed for wasn't the candy itself, but the moment of receiving it, or the moment of sharing it with someone."

"You don't need to worry too much. I didn't do anything to their dreams. The obstacle you felt was probably just because those dreams were too fragile; even the slightest tremor would shatter them."

"If the current problem weren't more pressing, I think if we gave them more time—say, ten or twenty years—by then, probably everyone would realize they're trapped in a dream."

"If things come to that, then this so-called 'heaven' will probably be hopelessly turned into 'hell'."

"While holographic games are really fun, getting trapped in them is a completely different story."

……

In a debate about the topic of "humanity," the gray snake was clearly no match for Ai.

"My duty is not to understand humanity, but to protect the Stigmata Space," he concluded with a blunt remark, quickly ending the topic.

The reason it talked to Ai about "humans" was simply to buy time to "capture" Ai.

After all, it has absolutely no interest in humans.

Now that preparations were complete, Gray Serpent naturally moved on from the topic of "humans".

Aiyi also sensed something was wrong at this moment.

She was not originally human.

They won't dream, and they won't be affected by the Stigmata Project.

However, after observing humans for some time, she seems to be slowly getting closer to them. Therefore, she has now fallen into a dream state.

"So, I have to leave here... Although I'm a little reluctant, I've indeed completed what I had to do~"

"Although the Stigmata Project ultimately [captured] me, preventing me from continuing to help them, it also meant that the will of humanity acknowledged me."

The gray snake scoffed, "Like humans, indulging in self-pity?"

Ai smiled: "If you had ever used your heart to perceive human dreams, you wouldn't have said that."

"I can observe the most likely past and future of this world."

"Within the simulated time crystal, from a human perspective, the time I spent with them was almost endless."

"It was like reading a long and dramatic story, being moved by the joys and sorrows of the characters, laughing with their happiness and crying with their sadness."

"And now, as the story reaches its climax, rather than simply throwing the future I desire at them..."

"I would rather say to them, 'Thank you for your hard work, I will always be with you.'"

……

Seeing this, seeing these few words from Ai-yi.

Countless players were somewhat dazed.

It seems... this Ai is also a Honkai Impact 3 player.

As she saw the story nearing its end, she invaded the game and offered the Valkyries some assistance.
