Start

Hey... did we just come back out again?

🔇 N/A

Kiana

What happened? What exactly lies behind the temple doors?

🔇 N/A

Bronya

Bronya saw a brief moment of pitch darkness before re-emerging at this location.

🔇 N/A

Kiana

That's so weird. What's wrong with this feather?

🔇 N/A

Bronya

We should ask the person who left it to us.

🔇 N/A

< The screen goes black, then switches to Shenzhou, where the Captain will have control of Kiana's [White Comet] and Bronya's [Drive Kometa] battlesuits. >

Head deeper into Mount Taixuan and find Lin Zhaoyu.

< Defeat the enemies. >

< Enemies defeated. >

< Interact with the feather. >

Bronya

This feather...

🔇 N/A

Kiana

Is it sealed?

🔇 N/A

Bronya

Nyet, but it feels different compared to the other feathers we found.

🔇 N/A

Bronya

Perhaps we should activate it unless you have another idea in mind...

🔇 N/A

Kiana

We should give it a try anyway.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

Zhaoyu.

🔇 N/A

The Phoenix called to her disciple.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

I'm heading to the South Seas. You're coming along. Go pack your things.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

Ah... of course, Master.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

Were monsters found by the South Seas?

🔇 N/A

Though the Phoenix heard her words, she walked off without turning back.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

You don't look too well. What is it?

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

The journey to the South Seas will take a while... I'm just worried about the little ones...

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

Su Mei is around.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

She was admitted to the School only a little bit earlier than the others.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

Yanqing is just a boy. Suyi has yet to recover from her sickness, and Wanru...

🔇 N/A

The Phoenix stopped and turned around.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

You want to stay?

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

No... I should go. I want to see the South Seas again... and pay respects to my parents.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

Good.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

......

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

What exactly happened at the South Seas, Master?

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

Nothing happened.

🔇 N/A

The Phoenix was cold.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

Like you, I have a few friends to whom I want to pay respects.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu left the shop with her substantial purchases.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

What did you buy?

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

Offerings for my ancestors, a wood puppet for Yanqing, books to teach Suyi how to read; rouge for Wanru...

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu counted her purchases.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

...local sundries for Su Mei... and this is for you.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu gave her a strange, cloth-wrapped package. The Phoenix felt its weight and hardly gave a response.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

I remember this town. We lived here when you first took me to Mount Taixuan many years ago.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

Did I?

🔇 N/A

The Phoenix looked at the hanging lanterns.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

I don't remember.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

Apologies, Master. This is the only ship willing to make the trip... you might have to live in this cabin for a while.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

It doesn't matter.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

Thank you.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

Why?

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

Because you're willing to take me back to the place where my parents now rest.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

Zhaoyu...

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

...I'm planning to go to the very same place.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu found the place where her people were buried, laid out the offerings, and paid her respects.

🔇 N/A

The Phoenix looked on in silence.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

......

🔇 N/A

Lin stood up, wiped away her tears, and gave an awkward smile.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

I'm sorry, Master. I didn't expect to hold you up for this long.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

It doesn't matter.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

Where are your friends, Master? I'll set up the offerings for them.

🔇 N/A

The Phoenix shook her head. She walked along the cliff's edge and gazed at the bottomless abyss.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

Their spirits flew to Empyrean and their souls slept in the Abyss. But these legends are false. They'll never return.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

Are your friends the people of the Nine Realms?

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

No.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

Those people wanted to resurrect Chiyou, while my friends sought to eradicate it. They could only be enemies.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

Chiyou is the Essence made flesh and laid waste to the South Seas. They faced it without me and fell in battle.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

Just over two decades ago, the people of the Nine Realms tried to resurrect Chiyou. I came here to stop them.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

......

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

Zhaoyu, your parents died because of me. Do you hate me?

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

They were corrupted. Death is the best way to end this...

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

Good.

🔇 N/A

The Phoenix unwrapped her package and revealed a life-like clay figurine.

🔇 N/A

The Phoenix looked at the clay figurine for a while before letting it fall into the dark abyss.

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

This is for the best...

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

It's time to leave.

🔇 N/A

The two said nothing during the return trip. Lin Zhaoyu broke the silence after stepping off the boat.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

Is there no cure for the Corruption?

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

......

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

They weren't bad people, they had no choice... why would the Heavens afflict them with such a curse?

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

......

🔇 N/A

The Phoenix did not reply.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

Wanru... she's just an innocent little girl... if she becomes Corrupted, there's no way that we... we...

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

Zhaoyu, there's nothing else we can do about this.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu gritted her teeth. The obedient disciple mustered all her courage to utter the blasphemous words.

🔇 N/A

Lin Zhaoyu

Master, will you please show mercy to Wanru?

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

......

🔇 N/A

Phoenix

She is corrupted, Zhaoyu.

🔇 N/A

The Phoenix said nothing more. Zhaoyu remembered the very words she herself uttered at the South Seas.

🔇 N/A

Death is the best way to end this...

🔇 N/A

< The screen goes black, then switches back to Shenzhou. >

Kiana

......

🔇 N/A

Bronya

......

🔇 N/A

Kiana

Lin Zhaoyu turns out to be Fu Hua's disciple...

🔇 N/A

Kiana

She is the first, and the only one of the Seven Swords who didn't appear...

🔇 N/A

Bronya

That is not the question, Kiana. Why did Lin Zhaoyu appear at Mount Taixuan?

🔇 N/A

Bronya

Why did a person from five hundred years ago appear in Mount Taixuan of our time?

🔇 N/A

Kiana

I think I know what happened here...

🔇 N/A

Kiana

Nothing about this place feels right. The high ambient Honkai energy, and the strange Fu Hua we saw...

🔇 N/A

Kiana

These feathers aren't the same feathers that Fu Hua showed us...

🔇 N/A

Kiana

...and Lin Zhaoyu from so many years ago appeared and led us to those Xinyin mind seals...

🔇 N/A

Bronya

It's a trap.

🔇 N/A

Kiana

Yeah. This definitely isn't the real Mount Taixuan. So where on earth is this place?

🔇 N/A

Kiana

And who would do that to us?

🔇 N/A

At that very moment, something emitted a bright glow.

🔇 N/A

Bronya

The feather that "Lin Zhaoyu" gave us...

🔇 N/A

Kiana

We should enter it again...

🔇 N/A

Kiana

We should be able to find the truth within it.

🔇 N/A
