Honkai Impact: Travel Notes of the Tree and the Sea

In a certain space in the Paradise, Tianan put his hands behind his head, lying on his back on the hillside, watching the clouds simulated with data in the sky slowly drifting by.

Tian Na closed his eyes and recalled the ending of Gracie.

If it hadn't been for the Honkai Impact, perhaps Gratius would have become an excellent painter under the influence of his parents.

In fact, it's not just Gratio. If Honkai hadn't happened, maybe all the Yingjie would have performed very well even if they were ordinary people.

It's just that the existence called Honkai robbed their future away in an almost cruel way, and they also chose another path to regain their future.

In the end, they may have failed, but they did leave something behind...

"Perhaps this is a little selfishness on my part..."

"What little selfish motives does A'an have?"

The pink girl interrupted Tian Na's thinking and raised her gaze. Alicia was leaning over to look at him with her hands behind her back.

"Nothing, just talking to myself."

Seeing Tian'an sitting up, Alicia also straightened her clothes, and then sat next to Tian'an.

"Eh? Tell me~ tell me~ okay?"

It was obvious that Aili was very interested in Tianjin's soliloquy just now, but no matter how much Alicia begged and acted coquettishly, Tianjin just smiled and shook her head.

After all, many of my plans would sound like fantasy to others.

"That's right, Ah An."

"Did Aponya look for you?"

Seeing that Tian'an didn't seem to want to tell her, Alicia stopped asking any more questions and asked Tian'an a different question.

Tian Na nodded silently. Now that he thinks about it, it seems that today is already the deadline mentioned by Aponya.

"I knew it?"

Alicia snapped her fingers, as if she was very happy about the fact that Aponya found Tianan.

"I just said that Aponya will definitely be interested in A'jin."

"At the beginning, Aponia also said, 'A'jin will disturb the thread of fate, and he will make A'jin leave the paradise as soon as possible'."

“I didn’t expect that Aponia would want to meet A’an in person so soon.”

Alicia stretched out her slender fingers, poked Tian's face, and said with a smile.

"A'an is the person that even Qianjie, the most difficult person to get along with, recognizes."

"You can definitely get along well with Aponya, right?"

"Then the four of us can enjoy afternoon tea together?"

Alicia chattered endlessly beside Tian'an about her infinite reveries about the future, and Tian'an just listened quietly.

This pink girl is always full of hope for the future, and she always has a smile on her lips. Tian'an knew this 50,000 years ago, but now he is even more convinced.

After all, she is Alicia.

……

"Dang——dang——"

The hanging clock on the tall building began to shake, indicating the arrival of midnight. Watching the hands overlap at twelve o'clock, Tian Na slowly closed his eyes.

The darkness gradually took away the last trace of light, and what followed was the familiar feeling of falling.

Until his feet stood on the ground again - the empty dark corridor, and the chaos surging deep in the corridor.

"The Deepest Place"

This was the name Ellie told him. This is where Aponya usually prays.

The last time Aponya had told Tian'an had arrived at this moment.

Tian's footsteps echoed again in the corridor. The cage deep in the corridor had been opened. Tian' stopped at the door for less than a breath, and then stepped into the cage.

"Bang-"

As Tianjin walked into the cage, the door closed instantly. Before Tiannan could turn around to check, a dazzling white light appeared from all around. When the light disappeared, Tian'an was no longer in the cage.

……

"So, this is the real depth?"

Tian'an stood on the white jade floor and looked at his surroundings. The gorgeous church, the statue of a nun in a praying posture, the butterflies that are constantly flying and spreading golden powder... and the staircase in the distance that leads to an unknown place.

In such a sacred place, the master here finally appeared in front of Tian Na.

The veiled woman placed her hands on her lower abdomen and walked slowly towards Tianjin, dragging her long skirt.

The inscription of [Commandment] - Aponia.

"Outsiders, have you...considered it..."

Aponya's dull eyes stared at Tian'an, and what came from her mouth was her ultimatum.

"Ellie likes you very much...if possible...I can delete your memory and send you out of paradise."

The soft tone made it impossible for anyone to have the slightest urge to refute, but the content of the words was undisguised hostility.

"I'm sorry, but I don't intend to leave."

Tian'an shrugged as always, "I haven't achieved my goal yet, so naturally I won't give up halfway."

"But I still want to know, why do you have to let me leave the paradise?"

"If, like Ellie said, you can feel every inch of the Paradise, then you should know that I have no ill intentions towards the Paradise and you in it."

Tian Na looked at Aponya, hoping she could give him an explanation.

Judging from Tian's character who doesn't want to bother, he doesn't mind using force to achieve certain goals. But for now, for the safety of Paradise itself, Tian'an doesn't want to use his own power unless necessary. Therefore, Tian'an is quite willing to explain things that can be avoided by explaining.

Then Aponya spoke.

"Your presence...will bring the Promised Land into the unknown future..."

Apponia's plain voice told a reason that surprised even herself at first.

As she said, Aponya herself can glimpse into the future to a certain extent. Originally, she had seen the end of this paradise, but...

The moment Tian'an entered the paradise, the future that Aponnia had originally observed became extremely unstable. Then Aponya discovered that he could not spy on Tian's fate. No matter how he used his power, there would always be an infinite starry sky to block him.

Aponya doesn't know what Tian's arrival means. She only knows that Tian' will bring Paradise into a future that even she can't determine.

However, the Promised Land was too important to Aponya, which also led to her not daring to gamble and put everything she had into that unknown fate.

"Just because my existence will change the established future?"

Tian Na was not surprised by this.

He himself knew very well what kind of existence he was. When he stepped into this world, he already knew that the world line of this world would be violently distorted because of him, and then move towards something that had nothing to do with the beginning. direction forward.

“What is the future without the expectation of the unknown?”

Tian Na laughed, seeming to be laughing at Aponya's ridiculous ideas. He is a traveler, a traveler with an almost fanatical hobby for all kinds of unknown scenery. It is precisely because of curiosity and expectation about the unknown that Tian'an has never used his prophetic power and his ability called future vision.

"The Promised Land is everything to Ellie and is our last hope. Therefore, the future of the Promised Land can only be that one, and no one can change it."

"So, "please" leave the paradise, okay..."

The urge to agree to Aponya came over again, and after just a moment, the urge disappeared from Tian'an's mind.

"I reject."

Tianna rejected Aponya's commandment, then waved his staff and cut a golden butterfly wrapped in thunder and lightning in half.

Looking at Tian's actions, Aponya's dull eyes were finally dyed with a hint of scarlet color. A pair of semi-ring-shaped weapons emerged from the air, floating behind her like a magic ring, with butterfly wings. The hem of her skirt also slowly opened.

"In this case, I can only kill one more enemy for the paradise."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky was engulfed by a swarm of butterflies and golden thunder and lightning.
