Chapter 64: Otto's Schemes
[Passerby]: Confirmed. The treasure hoarder inside the Serenitea Pot survived transmission, but tried to attack me. I killed him.
Kadoya Tsukasa transformed into Decade and slashed the attacking treasure hoarder in half with a single blow. Then, he sent a message to the group chat.
Zhongli had no issue with Kadoya killing the treasure hoarder. In fact, before sending the Serenitea Pot, he had already investigated the hoarder thoroughly:
Robbery, murder, rape... complete scum. Not even dying a hundred times would be enough.
[Drifting Through the Mortal World]: Good. Thank you, little friend, for confirming it. Consider the Serenitea Pot your reward.
As the ancestor of all immortals, Zhongli's mastery over immortal techniques naturally stood at the peak. His skill in external scene arts was second to none.
And as the Geo Archon, gathering materials to craft a Serenitea Pot was hardly a challenge for him.
So something like the Serenitea Pot—he had no shortage of them. He simply couldn't be bothered to make them.
[Passerby]: Got it.
Kadoya Tsukasa understood this well. Since Zhongli offered the Serenitea Pot, he accepted without hesitation.
After all, he was in need of such a spatial item that could store living beings. With this tool, whether for housing or smuggling, it would be very convenient in the future.
...
Honkai Impact 3rd.
St. Freya Academy.
Late at night, inside Fu Hua's dorm room.
Fu Hua breathed a sigh of relief after reading that both red packet smuggling methods had been successfully verified in the group.
"With this, I can bring Kiana and the others to different worlds for training. I wonder whether the innate Qi from Outcast World will have any effect on Honkai energy."
Ever since learning about the plot of the Honkai world, Fu Hua had become even more diligent in training Kiana. She now subjected Kiana and the others to daily special training sessions.
And after hearing everything from Fu Hua, Kiana and the others also stopped slacking and began to follow Fu Hua's training schedule earnestly.
Within Kiana's body flowed the bloodlines of both the Kaslana and Schariac families. With those alone, even without a Herrscher core, her talent alone could make her one of the strongest warriors.
The Honkai world was undoubtedly a world of tragedy. Even after the ultimate victory, the wounds in people's hearts remained unhealed.
Himeko Murata, Kevin Kaslana, Himiko, Mei, the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, Dan Zhu, Cang Xuan, Li Xue...
However, since Fu Hua had joined the group chat, these tragedies could be undone. The past could be salvaged. The future could be changed.
All that was needed... was to start now.
As this thought passed through her mind, Fu Hua looked forward, her gaze piercing through the dorm walls toward the training room.
There, a white-haired girl who now knew everything was still training, sweating hard even at this quiet hour of the night.
Beside her were two others—a girl with deep violet hair, and another with light gray drills—accompanying Kiana in her training.
"But Otto..."
Snapping out of her thoughts, Fu Hua's eyes darkened slightly at the mention of a certain blonde bastard.
Otto would never let Kiana slip from his grasp. If they wanted to take her out for training, things were going to get troublesome.
...
Destiny Headquarters.
Floating Island.
The blonde bastard Fu Hua referred to—
Destiny's Overseer, Otto Apocalypse.
Was sitting with a serious expression on his face, fully focused on the screen before him. It was playing the exact scene where Fu Hua explained the Honkai world's plot to Kiana and the others.
That's right—Otto had never once relaxed his surveillance of Kiana, the key figure in his plan.
Even within St. Freya Academy, hidden surveillance was in place, monitoring her every move.
By the time Fu Hua had spoken to Kiana, Otto was already aware of everything and had been monitoring their conversation live.
This was already the fourth time he'd replayed the footage. Watching Fu Hua's explanation to the group, Otto listened just as intently.
The revelation of "The Last Lesson," the deal with Kevin, becoming the Herrscher of Constraint, obtaining pseudo-divinity from the Imaginary Tree, Durandal's true identity, his own voluntary death...
All of it, Otto heard in detail.
Yet his expression remained unchanged, as if he were listening to something entirely unrelated.
Only when he heard "Apocalypse" utter those words did a ripple finally appear in Otto's eyes.
His plan... had succeeded.
Kallen had survived—in another world.
"I never would have imagined... that my old friend would encounter such fortune. Endless voids, countless realms, the chat group, Honkai Impact 3rd, and... revival coins."
Listening to Fu Hua's explanation, even someone like Otto—who had lived for five hundred years with a heart long as calm as still water—couldn't help but feel shaken.
Especially when he heard that the revival coin, an item capable of bringing someone back to life, was considered trivial within the chat group. Otto became visibly excited.
"Looks like... the plan needs some adjustments."
Turning his head toward another screen, Otto began calculating in silence.
The screen showed a live feed from Fu Hua's dormitory.
He had heard her mention traveling to other worlds—and even meeting up with group members.
Otto's expression grew animated as he murmured to himself, "Kallen... wait for me. Soon, we'll be able to meet again."

Elsewhere.
Douluo Continent.
Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Wu Tong exited the chat group.
The King of Wisdom had just completed all assigned simulations.
"Report: Seventy-eight simulation schemes have reached conclusion. Thirty-two have been completed. The remaining forty-six cannot proceed due to insufficient data."
"Completed schemes include:
– National Martial Arts Future Path (Simulated up to the highest realm from host's memory: shattering the void, seeing the god, remaining indestructible)
– Perfection of Red Wheel Heart Method (Simulated through Pure Yang and Sun Realms; now possesses ability to fuse various energies, inherit their traits, and freely convert back into their original forms)
– Cultivation Support Technique · Infinite Return to Origin (Inspired by Six Vault Immortal Thief, a method that devours all things, reverting them to primal energy suited for cultivation aid)
…"
Whoa~
So many successful results.
Wu Tong hadn't held high expectations for the King of Wisdom's simulations at first. After all, some of the plans he proposed were rather unrealistic.
But to his surprise, the King of Wisdom had used knowledge from just two worlds to complete thirty-two simulations.
It far exceeded his expectations.
"King of Wisdom, store the data from completed simulations into the archive.
As for the unfinished ones, retain the experimental records. Once more knowledge is collected, resume simulation.
Also, retrieve the newly generated Red Wheel Heart Method data to assist my cultivation."
"Confirmed. Executing... Transfer successful."
As the King of Wisdom's voice fell, a stream of information surged through Wu Tong's mind.
In an instant, it was etched deep into his memory—every word perfectly clear.
