"Kiana?" Fu Hua's voice fell into her mind. This was communication between consciousnesses.
Kiana came back to her senses and murmured: "Did I fall asleep? I... had a dream. I dreamed that I was standing in a place like the moon, preparing for a big battle."
"I also dreamed that a man was talking to me. His face was familiar, but I didn't recognize him... He thought I was someone else and called me 'Hua'."
Fu Hua thought for a moment. He replied: "Maybe for some reason, our consciousnesses are intertwined... It seems that with your dreams, I can also recall many things in the past."
"I didn't have the chance to tell you before. In fact, you can't believe it when I tell you. My identity is not just a Valkyrie of Schicksal..."
"My life journey is too long, and it can be traced back to what you call the pre-civilization era."
"I'm a survivor of that era."
Kiana was shocked. Although she had long known that her squad leader was unusual, she never expected that it would be so exaggerated that it was unbelievable.
"Then...who is the man talking to you?"
Fu Hua replied: "Kevin Kaslana. The source of your Kaslana family's bloodline, a survivor of the final battle of the previous civilization, and the most powerful protector of mankind..."
Speaking of this, she was silent for a moment. He added: "...If he had died in that battle, everything would have been like this."
"But the result of the final battle was too tragic... It changed me and it also changed Kevin."
"After the war, Kevin founded an organization called the 'World Serpent' and began to implement human revitalization plans left over from previous civilizations."
World Serpent... Kiana remembered the information from the recent investigation.
"You mean 'Project Stigmata'?"
Fu Hua nodded: "Yes. This plan is necessary, but the price it will pay may never be affordable by humans."
"Many forerunners could not agree with what Kevin did and thought he had crossed that line. Many people broke away and rebelled against him...but then he suddenly disappeared from history."
Kiana asked: "What's going on?"
Fu Hua said: "It's a long story, I'll tell you when I get the chance. In any case, many people breathed a sigh of relief... After Kevin disappeared, the World Serpent became a mess. I even thought that hundreds of years ago, it had died."
"But in the underground laboratory, when I saw the files recording my footprints and the familiar sign, I understood that they had not disappeared, but had just hid in the shadows, waiting patiently for their master's return."
"Listen up, Kiana, we can't stay in Tianqiong City any longer."
"If that man comes back from the seal, if all this is his plan...then this place is too dangerous!"
"Based on what I know about him, once he finds you, he will definitely kill you."
"I could still protect you in the past, but now..."
Kiana was a little unwilling: "So I can only escape? Like the past three months?? But Squad Leader, escape... where can I escape to? I have escaped countless times. Am I afraid, retreating, shrinking, hiding in a group in a corner and finally escaping?"
"I will not leave Tianqiong City. I don't want to look back in the future and find that every choice I make is an escape."
Fu Hua sighed. He did not persuade her anymore: "Now that you have made up your mind, I will not oppose you. But Kiana, once you find out that Kevin appears in Tianqiong City, you must choose to avoid him temporarily."
"I understand." Kiana nodded and agreed.

Seeing this, in the chat area:
[Nahida]: "Even his former comrades commented this way. Now he is indeed a complete villain. Everyone in Inazuma should be on guard."
[Furina]: "But... doesn't he pay great attention to promises? For the promise of the pre-civilization, he resolutely implements the plan without caring about other people's opinions, even if his former comrades stay away from him. Isn't this right?"
[Nahida]: "Being focused on commitments does not mean that he can control other people's lives at will. This is evil!"
[Furina]: "I don't think so... at least, his purpose is to save mankind, which is definitely not evil."
Seeing the two of them arguing, many people in the chat area chose to remain silent. The reason was simple: they couldn't tell who was right for a while. Everyone had their own opinion. In Lin Hao's previous world, no one knew what consequences his choices would have. A rational person would choose to continue watching and then make a decision.
However, Venti came out and said: "Okay~ There is no need to argue about good and evil. This kind of argument has no meaning. After all, the current Lord of Inazuma is not the Kevin in the previous life, right?"
[Kamisato Ayaka]: "Actually... it may be true. I once saw that big sword in front of the sacred sakura tree, and also saw the cold back of the god..."
[Venti]: "It's time for you to slip up, let's talk about it."
[Zhongli]: "In terms of universality..."
[Venti]: "You'd better say otherwise."
[Zhongli]: "Drunkard, where are you? I'll buy you a drink."
[Venti]: "No need."
Due to the deliberate quarrel between the two, the debate between good and evil was temporarily put on hold.

In Inazuma, at Narukami Taisha Shrine, Yae Miko watched the argument between the two with interest. She deliberately approached Lin Hao and said teasingly: "Look, they are arguing about whether you are a good person or a bad person. What do you think? Do you want me to explain it to them?"
Lin Hao looked directly at the exposure screen, looking at the sky. He said in a cold tone: "No need, let others judge the merits and demerits. I just want to have a clear conscience and fulfill my promise."
Yae Miko was stunned for a while, then showed a smile: "As expected of you, you know who you are, but remember the promise between you and me~"
Lin Hao nodded: "That's natural."
Yae Miko smiled even more happily. She didn't care what kind of person he was in his previous life. It was enough to know that he valued his commitment so much.
But Yae Miko was also quite curious. Why would such a powerful man be willing to make such a promise?
Just curious, the exposed scene gave her the answer.

In the screen, Kiana once again sneaked into the medical base to find a way to stop the World Serpent experiment. And Rita also launched her own action. While contacting Himeko, she also sent a message to Anti-Entropy, and she also sneaked in to find the antidote.
At this time... A girl appeared behind her holding a sword.
"Miss Mei...Long time no see."
The girl's face was revealed.
The Eightfold Divine Son was stunned and said: "Hey!!! Isn't this...isn't this my god?"
