After determining the location, finding Fu Hua was not a difficult task.

In fact, when Fang Zheng and others found Fu Hua, she seemed to be waiting for them to arrive.

"Oh, you're finally here. I thought I had to make some noise to attract you."

The girl in front of him looked at Fang Zheng, Kiana, Bronya and Raiden Mei and spoke in a rather cheerful tone. Hearing her words, Kiana, Bronya and Raiden Mei couldn't help but take a step back.

"Who are you?"

Bronya stared at Fu Hua and asked. Hearing Bronya's question, Fu Hua showed a dissatisfied expression.

"Is it necessary for everyone to ask me this? I am your squad leader, right? I haven't changed my appearance!"

Hearing Fu Hua's answer, Kiana spoke in a low voice.

"You do look a lot like the monitor, but she wouldn't be like this..."

“It’s just a matter of getting used to it.”

Having said that, Fu Hua snapped her fingers.

"Well, if that's the case, then you should come out and meet them."

As Fu Hua spoke, everyone saw another Fu Hua appear out of thin air and slowly came in front of them. Seeing this scene, Kiana and others were also shocked.

"Squad leader? What on earth is this...?"

Mei Raiden looked at Fu Hua wearing a cheongsam on this side, and then looked at Fu Hua wearing black clothes on the other side, and was stunned.

"Let me explain."

And at this moment, Fu Hua in black spoke.

"As for me, I was hit in the head by that bastard Otto before, and before that, I placed my consciousness on Yu Duchen. Then I dispersed my power, but when I was resurrected, I suddenly figured out a lot of things. I used to be a taciturn person who didn't tell anyone anything, which caused a lot of trouble. Now I have come to my senses, so I decided to let go of the past and become a brand new me!"

As she spoke, Fu Hua in black opened her arms wide. Then, she stared at Fu Hua in white with dissatisfaction.

"But when I found this piece of Yu Du Chen, she insisted that she was the real Fu Hua and I was not Fu Hua."

Having said this, Fu Hua in black became increasingly dissatisfied.

"How could I not be Fu Hua? I clearly have Fu Hua's memories. I know everything she went through. And this is clearly what happened to me. If I am not Fu Hua, then who am I? Memory is the soul. I clearly have the same memories, but you insist that I am not Fu Hua. This is really too much!"

"this……"

Facing the words of Fu Hua in black, the girls looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. Fu Hua in black nodded and looked at them with a smile.

"But neither of us can convince the other. She said she is the real Fu Hua, but I think it's just my scattered consciousness attached to Yu Duchen that has a problem... You see, just like a computer AI sometimes becomes mentally disturbed and thinks it is a human, but I am a very gentle person, so I plan to make a clear distinction. It just so happens that you are here, you are Fu Hua's closest classmates and friends, so why not let you judge who is the real Fu Hua."

"Well...even if you want us to judge..."

Looking at the two people in front of him, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes.

"But to be honest, I don't think it's necessary to choose. Look at those girls, they obviously care more about the one in white."

"That's right."

Kiana nodded as well.

"This is the squad leader we are familiar with! You are completely different from the squad leader we know!"

"Ah... I've already told you that I've figured it out now. Doesn't it seem normal to you? I was just stuck in a dead end before, but now I feel like I've been reborn! Why don't you understand?"

As she spoke, Fu Hua in black clenched her fists and showed an unhappy expression, but soon her eyes lit up.

"That's right, that's true. You have no idea what Fu Hua went through in the past. How about this, I'll show you Fu Hua's past experiences, and maybe you'll understand how I became like this!"

Having said that, Fu Hua in black snapped his fingers.

The next moment, the scenery of the surrounding Taixu Mountain suddenly changed, and then scenes appeared before everyone's eyes.

"I was just a little girl in a martial arts school. I knew nothing except martial arts. At that time, my father was attacked and injured in bed. I went to another city to study away from him... In that place, I rescued a girl who was attacked and became good friends with her, but... unfortunately, happy memories are short-lived."

As Fu Hua in black spoke, everyone saw the past Fu Hua walking into the airport. Just as she was about to take a plane back to her hometown to reunite with her father, suddenly, an explosion was heard in the distance - at the same time, the whole scene froze at this moment.

"This is……?"

"This is the first Honkai outbreak in the last era."

Fu Hua in black stood there, staring at the center of the explosion.

"Later, I was rescued by the Fire Moths, joined them, and became a warrior. Because my hometown was also destroyed by the collapse. In just a moment, I lost my friends, my relatives, my hometown, and everything I once had was destroyed by the collapse. Then, I met her..."

As Fu Hua in black spoke, everyone saw a woman with fiery red hair walk in.

"That's... Mr. Himeko?!"

"Ah, yes, maybe there really is such a thing as reincarnation in the world. She was the one who took me in when I was helpless, taught me how to fight, and I fought against Honkai with her, but the good times didn't last long..."

The next moment, the scene changed again. This time, everyone saw Ji Zi lying against the wall, her body covered in white frost, and Fu Hua standing in front of her.

"Teacher Jizi!"

Seeing this, Kiana rushed over and tried to grab Jizi, but her hand just passed through the illusion and fell to the ground.

"At that time, she was about to awaken and become a Herrscher, but I knew that her consciousness was still struggling with the Honkai. We wanted to save her, and we finally got to her. She still remembered me, she called my name, she didn't attack me, she smiled at me... However, at that time, Dr. Mei ordered Kevin to kill her."

Fu Hua in black spread her hands helplessly and sighed.

"Can you imagine? The person who pulled me out of hell and brought me back to hope and sunshine was killed right in front of me! I knew clearly that she could have the will of the War God to collapse, just like Kiana and Mei, but at that time I was still like a puppet, watching her being killed! If someone was willing to listen to me, if someone was willing to give me a chance..."

The next moment, Fu Hua raised his hand and swung it hard at Ji Zi.

"don't want--!!"

Without Kiana's screams, the scene turned dark again, and Fu Hua in white just stood there, head lowered, not saying a word.

"What's the point?! We are just tools, we have no say. If the people at the top think that the Herrscher is hopeless, there is nothing we can do."

Fu Hua in black stared at Fu Hua in white as if venting her anger.

"Kill her? And then what? We sacrificed so much? Did we prevent the collapse? Didn't we still perish in the end? If that's the case, then why did I have to do such a stupid thing in the first place?!"

“…”

“It’s more than that.”

As he spoke, Fu Hua in black waved his hand again, and this time, the scene changed to a scene that Kiana and others were very familiar with - it was inside Chi You's body.

"This is also one. When Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu proposed to accelerate the development of human civilization through the Spark Project, I knew that this would cause unpredictable effects, but I still agreed. I could have refused. After all, their mission was to assist me. If I hadn't agreed, then this monster wouldn't have been created."

“…”

Seeing this, Fu Hua in white sighed.

“No one can predict the future.”

"Also at that time, Danzhu offered to make up for her mistakes personally. I could force her to stay and wait for me to come back, but we didn't do that."

"...The rebellious Chiyou almost destroyed half of the South China Sea, and many people died as a result..."

"I do not understand."

Fu Hua in black interrupted Fu Hua in white's answer again.

"I understand that wars involve sacrifices. Why should I feel that the lives of strangers are more important than my most important friends and my right-hand men? Why don't I put down what I'm doing and rush back as quickly as possible to eliminate Chi You and save my friends?"

“…”

Fu Hua in white stared at Fu Hua in black and spoke.

“…I must put the well-being of all humanity first.”

"Nonsense, who made this rule? Dr. Mei? Why should I listen to her? After so many years, where is this so-called welfare of all mankind?"

Having said that, Fu Hua in black glared at Fu Hua in white.

"When I got here, Chi You had already been sealed, and only these small fry were left here."

“…”

Fu Hua in white lowered her head.

“I have always deeply regretted this.”

"Because you are me, you can understand my pain. You see, we still have something in common."

Having said that, Fu Hua in black looked at everyone.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, these don't seem to have much to do with you... Then next, I'll show you something that is relevant to you."

As Fu Hua in black spoke, the scene changed again the next moment and turned into an ancient battlefield.

"here it is……?"

"Five hundred years ago, Tianming attacked Shenzhou."

Fu Hua in black stared at the battlefield in front of him.

"This is the real war, the real hell. The disaster caused by Chiyou is nothing compared to this. If it weren't for the destiny using the Key of God, you and I would not have intervened at all. What's the logic here? The number of deaths is not important, but whether there is collapse has become the most important thing? At this time, Dr. Mei doesn't mention the welfare of all mankind?"

"War is an essential part of the development of civilization. It is one of the laws of nature. We fight against Houkai because it goes against nature."

Fu Hua in white opened her mouth to answer, but at this time Fang Zheng spoke.

"Let me interject, I don't agree with what you said."

"oh?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Fu Hua in black turned around and looked at him curiously.

"how do you say?"

"It's very simple. Humans fight against Houkai because Houkai causes disasters to humans. It is essentially no different from volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tornadoes, and tsunamis. In the final analysis, humans only choose to fight against Houkai because Houkai threatens their existence. In my opinion, Houkai is not against nature, it is also a part of nature."

Having said this, Fang Zheng spread out his hands.

"I share the same view as the man in black. Humans don't value themselves, so they deserved to perish in the last century. Whether it's Dr. Mei or Kevin, they are all like this. They only focus on the results, not the process. But if you don't have the right process, how can you get the results you want? You sacrificed your friends and your loved ones, saying that you wanted to stop the collapse and protect humanity. But what did you protect? Didn't the civilization of the previous era perish in the end?"

“That’s right!”

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Fu Hua in black snapped her fingers excitedly, then she turned around and looked at Fu Hua in white.

"Look, old antique, I'm not the only one who thinks so! Moreover, Tianming has used the Divine Key of our Fire Chasing Moths for its own benefit, and has launched many wars for its own selfish interests, and even attacked the Shenzhou that you and I swore to protect, causing great suffering to the people of Shenzhou. Why should such an organization stay? We should eliminate Tianming at this time, completely destroy this expeditionary force, take back the Divine Key that belongs to us, and crush the evil ambitions!"

"I agree."

Fang Zheng spoke again.

"If it were me, I would fight my way to Europe, kill all of Tianming, and destroy them completely. Why don't you kill this thing and keep it for the New Year? I don't understand. Your actions are totally inconsistent. Thousands of years ago, you even watched your friends die in order to protect the people of Shenzhou. But thousands of years later, you stand by and watch the people of Shenzhou suffer? You are really too much of a fool."

“That’s right!”

As he spoke, Fu Hua in black stretched out his hand and clenched it towards the distance. The next moment, the army of Tianming turned into dust. Seeing this scene, Fu Hua screamed.

"--stop!"

"Why? This is just fake, just to satisfy your craving."

Fu Hua in black curled her lips, while Fu Hua in white looked at her helplessly.

"Don't you understand? Look at what you've done? Look at what you've done. Don't you understand?"

"What do I understand?"

"Haven't you figured it out yet? ... You are not who you claim to be. There is a reason for your awakening. A body without a soul cannot give birth to consciousness out of thin air."

“…”

"You are not fighting against Houkai. Think about it carefully: all your actions, destroying destiny and attacking the World Serpent, are actually executing Houkai's will... No matter how legitimate your reasons are, your actions will not lie. You will only do one thing... and that is destruction."

“…”

Hearing this, Fu Hua in black looked even gloomier, and at the same time, Fu Hua in white raised her head and stared at her.

"Because... you are a Herrscher."

Along with these words, the scene before him completely shattered.

Everything returned to normal, Fu Hua in black and Fu Hua in white confronted each other, Kiana, Bronya and Raiden Mei were stunned, and Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes meaningfully, looking at the scene in front of him.

Fu Hua in black lowered his head, thought for a moment, and then raised his head.

"So, this is what you're saying? You think I'm actually a Herrscher who just took over your body? So you're the real Fu Hua?"

Having said that, Fu Hua in black looked at Kiana and the others.

"What do you think?"

"I……"

Kiana frowned, and they looked carefully at Fu Hua in black, and then at Fu Hua in white.

However, at this moment, Fang Zheng spoke.

"If that's the only argument, then I don't agree."

"Mr. Yuuki?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Kiana and others looked at him in surprise, while Fu Hua in black and Fu Hua in white also looked at Fang Zheng.

"You don't agree?"

"Yes, I already know a lot about your past. To be honest, I can understand why you became like this. But if you give this answer just because of what the girl in black thinks, then I don't agree. Because my thoughts are the same as hers, the girl in white."

Fang Zheng spread his hands.

"As a human being, you should live freely and unrestrainedly. Daring to love and hate is the spirit of a man of the world. If you are as cautious as you are, afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, what can you achieve?"

As he spoke, Fang Zheng snorted coldly.

"Besides, how can attacking Destiny and the World Serpent be considered as accomplices of Honkai? Do you really think that Destiny and the World Serpent are against Honkai? Are you sure? Think about the Second Herrscher, think about how the Herrscher of the Void awakened? Who awakened? Who is the culprit of all this? Is it Honkai? Or Destiny? Do you have the nerve to say that Destiny is against Honkai? If it weren't for the bastard Otto's mess, would the Herrscher of the Void have awakened?"

Having said that, Fang Zheng extended his hand.

"And the World Serpent, Kevin's Stigma Plan, is that called fighting against destiny? Forcing everyone to activate the Stigma, and then only those who survive are qualified, then what about the future? Will humans who have awakened the Stigma have to rely on Honkai forever? Is this called fighting Honkai? Isn't this becoming a slave to Honkai? You call this fighting Honkai? Are you kidding me?"

"this……"

"I guess you don't know the story of the Sun and the North Wind."

Fang Zheng folded his arms and looked at Fu Hua in white.

"The north wind and the sun made a bet that whoever could make the passers-by take off their clothes would win. The north wind blew hard, and the passers-by wrapped their clothes tighter. The sun then shone brightly, and the passers-by felt warm and took off their clothes."

Having said that, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Fu Hua in white.

"Are you the North Wind, then? Or are you the Sun?"

Then he asked.
