Alicia was planning to introduce this place to Fang Zheng, but unfortunately, she encountered a rather embarrassing situation right at the beginning.

“…”

“…”

Fang Zheng and Kevin looked at each other without saying a word.

"Honestly, seeing the person I killed appear in front of me again, the only thing I want to do is to kill him again."

Fang Zheng silently clenched the Frostmourne in his hand.

"Ahahahaha... Mr. Yuki, this is just a memory..."

Alicia wanted to smooth things over, but Kevin just shook his head.

"I don't know what I did outside, but here, I am just a soldier who follows orders and holds the inscription of 'Savior'. Apart from that, there is nothing else."

"salvation?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"How dare you have such a reputation? You have no interest in saving the world at all."

“…”

"The most important thing to you is your old lover, Dr. Mei. What else do you care about? The world? Humanity? Aren't they all just tools for you to fulfill your promise to Dr. Mei? If Dr. Mei had asked you to destroy the world before he died, you would have done it without hesitation. It's really ridiculous that someone like you can be called a savior."

“…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Kevin's eyes instantly became as sharp as ice, but Fang Zheng was not afraid at all.

"How about it? Do you want to fight? I want to see how many of my moves you can block without the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire."

“…There will be a chance.”

After saying this, Kevin turned around and left, while Fang Zheng snorted coldly and looked away.

As for Alicia next to her, she made a gesture that gave people a headache.

"Really, Mr. Yuki, you really know how to bully people."

"To you, he may be a reliable and trustworthy companion who fights alongside you, but to me, he is just an undead who will do anything to fulfill his promise to the dead."

Fang Zheng shrugged.

"He doesn't care about humans or the world at all. He keeps saying that he wants to lead humans to defeat Honkai, but he doesn't care about humans at all. All he cares about is a dead person. So for him, since he doesn't care about humans, as long as humans can defeat Honkai, he doesn't care about the pain and sacrifice that humans will suffer."

"The battle against Honkai is not easy, and we often have to make sacrifices."

"Yes, you made so many sacrifices, but you still perished. The facts prove that your so-called sacrifices are meaningless and only prolong your survival."

“…”

Fang Zheng's straightforward answer completely killed the conversation. After that, Alicia kept pouting angrily, looking unhappy.

"You seem to dislike us very much."

"Of course, I know your story, and I also know what happened in the previous civilization, so I'm sorry, in my opinion, you are no longer human."

"…You mean, we are fusion warriors?"

"No."

Fang Zheng shook his head.

"The problem is not the form. Some people still have a human heart even if their entire body has become a machine. But on the other hand, some people are still human but have long lost their human heart. Hope, warmth, trust, the reason why humans become human is not just because they can think better than animals."

Having said that, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Alicia.

"In my opinion, under the threat of Honkai, you are more like machines, and everything exists subconsciously for the purpose of resistance. Ah, this is very useful in fighting Honkai, so keep it. That is useless in fighting Honkai, so abandon it. This is likely to pose a threat to us, so destroy it... This is the way of thinking of machines, not humans."

Fang Zheng shrugged and spread his hands.

"In my opinion, you have long lost your way. You have forgotten your original intention. You set your goal to fight against Honkai instead of protecting humanity. This is a mistake in itself. Dr. Mei is wrong, and so are you."

In Fang Zheng's opinion, the biggest problem for people in previous generations who took the wrong path was that they set the wrong goals.

This is similar to the history of the earth. Fang Zheng also remembers history. In history, because of their beliefs, people set their goals to fight against capitalism. Because capitalism is bad, evil, full of exploitation and oppression, they would rather sacrifice everything they have to fight against capitalism.

But what is the result?

Marx believed that capitalism is a historical stage that human history must go through, and no human civilization can skip this stage. Our goal is not to believe in a certain doctrine or to fight against a certain doctrine, but to make the country and the people prosperous and strong. So what we need to do is not to deny it completely, but to remove the dross and take the essence to achieve our goals and ideals.

This mistake was made in previous eras.

They mistakenly linked protecting humanity with fighting the collapse, as if seeing the exploitation and evil of capitalists, they completely denied the value of capitalism. And they did not hesitate to make tearful sacrifices again and again in an attempt to stop this process, but the fact is that the law is not subject to human will.

When you choose the wrong goal, there will be no results.

This is true for Kevin and Dr. May as well.

Kevin is obsessed with humanity defeating the Honkai.

But the question is, what good will it do to humanity if it defeats Honkai?

Even if we take a step back, humanity sacrificed everything and defeated the Honkai, but in the end only one person was left. Can this also be called a victory for humanity?

Of course, if that were all, Fang Zheng wouldn't hate them. At most, he would just laugh at their stupidity and incompetence and shed a few crocodile tears.

But the problem is that this group of people are still planning to look up the old calendar even in the new era.

Then Fang Zheng couldn't stand it.

You have already failed once, but you still won't give up? It's bad enough that you destroyed the human race of your own era, but you are planning to drag the new generation to do it again?

You are the culprits who destroyed human civilization!

The Qing Dynasty has fallen, and you are still calling for a restoration?

This is why even though Alicia acted very friendly, Fang Zheng still disliked this place.

After all, if things go wrong here, the human beings of this era will be dragged back to the ditch of the previous era.

However, hearing what Fang Zheng said, Alicia chuckled.

"Then maybe we'll get along well."

"Really? I hope so."

There weren't many places to see in the whole Paradise of the Past Life. The important thing was the portal leading to the Paradise of the Past Life. According to Alicia, it led to the world of memory, and in it, the memories of the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire were waiting for the arrival of the trialists, giving them tests. If they passed the tests, they would receive gifts.

"If you want to know more details about the Stigmata Project, you can go to Mebius... But please be careful, she is not an easy person to deal with."

"You don't need to explain this. I will go and confirm it myself."

Having said that, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and stared at Alicia.

"Then, I just need to go in."

"certainly."

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Alicia smiled and nodded. She stretched out her hand, pointed at the portal, and explained to Fang Zheng.

"As long as you enter the Paradise of the Past and reach the deepest part, you will be able to find Mobius. I think she will be very interested in your arrival. In addition to Mobius, there are other heroes here. They will use their own different methods to test you, or even challenge you, so you have to be careful. Although they are memories, in this memory world, their power is not much different from that of real heroes."

"By the way, can I kill her?"

"I suggest you not to do this... Anyway, although the heroes here may have different positions on certain things, we are all companions who have fought side by side before, and we are also colleagues working together in this paradise of the past. If you insist on doing this, it is very likely to bring some bad consequences."

"Haha, I really want to see how powerful the Thirteen Heroes are."

After saying this, Fang Zheng turned around and walked into the portal without looking back. As she watched his back disappear, Alicia raised the corner of her mouth and revealed a playful smile.

"What an interesting man. I also want to see what kind of expression Mebius will have when he sees him... That will definitely be quite interesting."

As the words fell, the next moment, the girl's figure disappeared without a trace, only a few petals flashed by the wind and disappeared.

At the same time, Fang Zheng also passed through the portal and entered the paradise of the afterlife.

On the surface, this is a world platform similar to the quantum sea, woven by memories and intertwined with each other. In other words, the nature of this place is actually equivalent to an artificially created memory world.

"So, what I have to do next is to pass the test here? I hope there are no people in this group who like to decode..."

“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!”

Just as Fang Zheng was speaking, suddenly, thunder roared down and hit the ground. Then, one after another, Honkai beasts emerged from it, with their fangs and claws bared, and pounced on Fang Zheng.

"Well, it looks like it's a copy."

Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows and then raised his sword.

"That's much easier."
