Live Q&A: I am the Star God of Heaven

Chapter 1037 The Witch's Solitary Pursuit 6

Bai Er: "I assure you, the pain... will pass in an instant."

Xi Lian: "Alright, let's not make the atmosphere so heavy. We're about to embark on a real hero's journey, so... smile, okay?"

Demyoga: "Xilian was born crying, fragile, transparent, like crystal. Xilian was said goodbye smiling, soft, pink, like a flower."

Huh, the memories after that are gone. Is it invisible, or simply vanished? Ah, I get it! Could this be... a blank? So, the next Xi Lian is a blank.

So, as long as there are two Xi Lians, the blank space will always exist, and the peach will always exist. Ah, I see! I understand now, I completely get it. Xi Lian's memories, all of them, will be preserved!

Once again, Xi Lian came here, and by this time, Demiaoge had grown into the appearance of Da Xi Lian.

Xi Lian: "It's so strange. Even though I can't see it, I have a feeling... Have you grown up?"

At this moment, the seed of memory had grown into a flower of memory, and she slowly uttered a sentence: "Hi, did you miss me?"

Honkai Impact 3 Raiden Mei: "Hearing this, it feels like the first time we met."

Honkai Impact 3rd Alicia: "Yeah, yeah, hi, did you miss me? Xilian's way of saying it has a different charm."

Xingqiong Railway Xilian: "What Sister Ai Li said makes me a little embarrassed."

Xi Lian: "I feel like you've gained a bit more maturity."

The Flower of Memory's Song of Demigos: "Yes, mature, beautiful, that's you. Now, I can listen, speak, read, and write. I can dance and sing. I can also tell stories; being able to tell stories is what makes Xi Lian."

So today, I'm going to tell you a story, a story I wrote myself. Please sit down.

After hearing these words, Xi Lian couldn't help but sigh, "For a moment, I felt like I could understand what you were saying. They were all very cute remarks."

Once upon a time, there was a flawless crystal flower, sparkling like every story of a peach. Such a beautiful flower, how beautiful must its heart be? A little fairy was curious and wanted to know the answer.

But as it looked and looked, it discovered that the crystal flower was flawless; no matter how it looked, it could only see its own reflection. Since that was the case, it decided to study hard! So the little fairy came every day, stood guard beside the crystal flower, and pondered the answer.

Until one day, it was astonished to find that the crystal flower had fallen to the ground and shattered! The little fairy was very sad, but it immediately noticed a ball of light within the shards. What was it? It didn't know.

But that light was good, bright, warm, and blissful. And I know it was love? Love unites all things, and it unites you and me, so Peach and I will never be apart.

After listening, Xi Lian said, "It's truly a fairytale story."

"I'm giving this to you. Peach loves beauty, can write poetry, and can tell beautiful stories. I hope to turn it into a story we write together."

"Okay, then, based on my aesthetic sense, I'll probably make a small change. I think that on the day the flower shatters, the little fairy will see an empty ground with nothing there."

Then it will realize that the flawless crystal flower has neither a heart nor the ability to love.

"No heart or love? Why?" Demogue was puzzled when he heard this.

"It's very simple. If it opens its heart to the little fairy, it will embrace the fairy's impurities and become imperfect. The crystal flower is pure because it closes itself off and blooms in solitude. That's why it shines so brightly in this fascinating world."

But such flowers shouldn't be called love, right?

"But then the story wouldn't work..."

"No, you've already written the most romantic ending to this story. The crystal flower fell to the ground and shattered. Because it was no longer pure, its fall wasn't an accident; it was its resistance against fate, using its brokenness to write the story's ending."

Then the little fairy will see its own eyes reflected in every shard on the ground. And in its eyes, the crystal flower, no longer flawless, finally has a heart and has learned to love.

At this point, Xi Lian gradually disappeared. After Xi Lian disappeared, Demiaoge sat alone on the ground, pondering what Xi Lian had said.

"I don't understand Peach's words because I haven't understood love yet? Heh, but that's okay, I can learn. Oh right—search for: 'Xi Lian?'"

"Electrical signal sequence: PhiLla093..."

"Why didn't I think of that? I don't have to do it all by myself; I can have Peach teach me! What is love? What is infatuation—"

"Electrical signal sequence: PhiLla093. Path: Lament."

Starry Sky Railway Emerald: "Everyone has different opinions. Xi Lian expressed her thoughts, and Demiaoge is also constantly learning."

Honkai Impact 3rd Eden: "Yes, and gradually, Demyogo is becoming more and more like Xilian."

Xingqiong Railway Xiaoxi Lian: "It can't be said that she's becoming more and more like me; rather, it's that she's gradually developing her own characteristics and has her own things she wants to explore and learn about."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this sound, Demogue was immediately puzzled: "Something seems off?"

The recorded voice echoed: "The development of 'intellectual knowledge' has no intersection with creative consciousness; their underlying principles are even contradictory. Without consciousness, there is no foundation for the heart, and one cannot possess true emotions."

But this doesn't prevent factor learning, recognizing emotional responses, and communicating with life through imitation. This is an objective meme recognition process, without distinction between "you" and "me." However, by a twist of fate, PhiLla093, embarking on a different path, mastered different powers…

Memory, a self-centered empathic mechanism capable of emotional projection. Pity is the closest factor to this behavior; perhaps that's why she was chosen.

Xi Lian: "The daughter of the Ai Li Mi Xie, truly lives up to her name. My pity is a weak, powerless, self-inflicted harm. But now, my good friend, I want to tell you that it is also the most romantic force in the world."

Sometimes, it's loneliness and unease. It's knowing the world isn't gentle and hoping to be seen in a more beautiful light. Sometimes, it's resentment and regret. It's knowing the past is full of pain and hoping to remember it in a more beautiful way.

Sometimes, it's an unfathomable wound, a destruction that engulfs everything. I bid farewell to this beautiful world, unwilling to become a vessel for the dark tide. Because a scene of hatred is a raging fire, but pity can silently engulf everything.

Cosmic Wanderer Gao Xuan: "The end of hatred is a raging fire. This must be describing Bai E. Doesn't Bai E represent hatred for destruction?"

Genshin Impact's Great Tree King: "One represents love, the other represents hate. Could this be the so-called First Cause of Life?"

Starry Sky Railway's Heather: "At present, this is the most convincing one."
