You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

"And this last one is Sirin's father, named Qiu Bi, who possesses a powerful ability called 'Contract'!"

Sirin explained the terrifying effects of the "contract" to Alicia, which immediately made Alicia understand why human civilization had not been wiped out.

However, there was one thing Alicia couldn't understand—

Why is Xilin so keen on "recognizing a mother"?

Before Alicia could figure it out, Sirin asked a new question: "Alicia's mother... sister, are you the only one in 'Paradise of the Past'?"

"Of course, I'm not the only one. After all, this place is where the memories of the 'Heroes' are formed, so naturally there will be other Heroes here. Kevin, whom you all know, also has memories here."

Alicia's smile is beautiful, with a fairytale-like dreamlike beauty.

Then, she said meaningfully, "Cilin, my little cutie, were you... trying to call me 'Mommy' just now?"

"Hmm... Sirin does want Alicia to become Sirin's mother. I wonder if Alicia would be willing?"

"Oh my, my lovely little Sirin, of course I'd love to have a daughter as adorable as you. But I'm just a memory, and besides, love takes time to develop; it can't be rushed."

"That's it..."

Sirin nodded as if she understood, then asked in return, "But Sirin has heard of the phrase 'love grows over time'! Sirin remembers that Gana's mother fell completely in love with Daddy because of 'love growing over time'!"

Upon hearing this, before Alicia could say anything, Qiu Bi belatedly realized what was happening and quickly covered Sirin's mouth to prevent her from saying anything more shocking.

In just a moment of inattention, Sirin made a "mother's request" to Alicia, letting Sirin continue talking, who knows what she might say.

"I'm sorry, Celine is a bit impulsive, I hope you can understand."

“Cute girls often win other people’s understanding. I am like that, and so is Celine. I quite like Celine.”

Alicia's smile hasn't changed much, but it doesn't feel perfunctory or generic; instead, it makes people feel like they're basking in a warm breeze.

Sirin broke free from Qiu Bi's grasp, glared at him resentfully, and then, unwilling to give up, tried to seduce Alicia again.

"Sister Alicia, Daddy is incredibly strong—his 'Contract' ability can do anything, and Sirin's magical girl status was bestowed upon her by Daddy!"

"Is it really possible to do anything?"

Alicia smiled and asked Sirin a question in return, which was clearly a perfunctory response to Sirin, but due to the influence of her tone, it was difficult to detect the perfunctory meaning.

However, Sirin's expression was serious and earnest when she answered.

“Yes, Sister Alicia, Daddy’s ‘Contract’ ability can do anything.”

Perhaps sensing Sirin's serious attitude, Alicia became slightly more serious, pretending to ponder for a moment before smiling and asking, "Then can the 'Heroes' be resurrected collectively?"

"Of course, it's not difficult."

This time, Qiu Bi took the initiative to answer Alicia.

Strictly speaking, reviving the "Heroes" is not even as difficult as ending the "Honkai".

Even caring for a newborn baby is more difficult than resurrecting the "Heroes".

"..."

Alicia suddenly fell silent, even the smile on her lips faded slightly.

Qiu Bi and Xilin were both very serious, and their strong self-confidence inevitably influenced Alicia.

After a while, Alicia readjusted her expression and subtly changed the subject.

"Oh dear~ Three adorable girls have arrived this time, I almost forgot about the main mission~"

Alicia, hands clasped behind her back, struck a playful and adorable pose. "Next... I'll show you the true functions of 'Paradise of the Past.'"

Upon noticing that Alicia was deliberately avoiding the topic of "resurrection," Sirin immediately pouted in dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Qiu Bi reached out and pressed down on Xilin's head, gently comforting her, "Xilin, if the heroes are unwilling to be resurrected, then don't force them."

"Oh……"

Xilin gave a hesitant reply, then lowered her head, clutching Qiu Bi's clothes as she followed the others step by step.

Qiu Bi could vaguely hear Xilin's mutterings, and then helplessly covered his cheeks.

"With such a beautiful older sister like Alicia, her little sister will definitely be very cute..."

"Cirin will definitely find a way to make Alicia her mother, and then Alicia will have lots of cute little sisters..."

Celine's mutterings all revolved around "sister," highlighting her insatiable longing for her "sister."

Before long, Alicia led everyone to a huge door-shaped device.

"This is the 'entrance' to the 'Paradise of the Afterlife'."

"The entrance? But isn't this the 'Paradise of the Afterlife'?"

"Indeed, but this 'entrance' actually refers to the entrance to the 'Paradise of the Past' trial grounds."

Alicia smiled and explained again, then added, "Of course, it might not serve as a 'trial' for you; it's more like an 'obstacle'."

"Before seeking the truth, experiencing some obstacles makes the truth all the more precious, doesn't it?"

“But…” Celine hesitated for a second, then cautiously continued, “Celine doesn’t want to know the ‘truth’.”

If the power of the "Law of Cycles" were not still insufficient, Sirin would have already dragged Angelin to launch a counterattack against the Honkai, and naturally there would be no need for the "truth" recorded in the "Paradise of the Past".

Angeline is the "Herrscher of the End" and has absolutely no interest in these "truths".

As for Delta...

She remained silent throughout, while staying close to Qiu Bi, ready to fight at any moment.

"Then why have you come to the 'Paradise of the Past'?"

"Well……"

Celine hesitated for a few seconds, then thought for a moment before answering, "Should it be 'tourism'?"

Celine actually meant to say "finding more mothers," but felt that was a bit inappropriate, so she changed it to "traveling."

Chapter 226 The Fall of Heroes Must Be Grand and Magnificent

Alicia stared at Qiu Bi and the others, her expression a mixture of confusion and astonishment.

Then, as if she had guessed why Qiu Bi and the others had entered the "Paradise of the Past," she instantly broke into a radiant smile.

"Since none of you have come here seeking the 'truth,' why not, while experiencing the 'Paradise of the Past,' take a closer look at the past stories of the 'Thirteen Heroes Who Chase Fire,' what do you say?"

"The end of heroes must be grand and magnificent, after all, we have all lived very hard."

Alicia's suggestion undoubtedly set a "goal" for Qiu Bi and the others, preventing them from wandering aimlessly and ultimately leaving "Paradise of the Past" feeling bored.

Although Qiu Bi already knew the story of the "Thirteen Heroes Who Chased Fire," he didn't mind experiencing it firsthand with Angeline, Sirin, and Delta.

Angeline and Delta were equally interested in learning more about the stories of the heroes and were deeply curious about what happened in the previous generation of civilizations.

As for Xilin...

Her idea was even simpler.

This is Alicia's "mother's" first request, and we absolutely cannot let Alicia's "mother" down.

"Sister Alicia, Sirin will seriously study the stories of the 'Heroes,' so..."

Taking this opportunity, Sirin extended another invitation, "Would you like to leave 'Paradise of the Past' and witness the end of the Honkai?"

"Well..."

Alicia smiled mysteriously, offering an ambiguous answer, "That depends on your performance! If you successfully attract the 'Heroes,' we might choose to leave 'Paradise of the Past' and see the world as it is now."

"Hmph~ Sirin will definitely lead you out of the 'Paradise of the Past'!"

Sirin proudly made a vow, while silently adding in her heart: "In addition, Sirin will also make you the 'strategists' of the magical girl army, and make women Sirin's 'mothers'."

When it comes to the position of "strategist", who can compare to the "Thirteen Heroes of the Fire Chaser" from the previous civilization?

According to the information Celine knew, Kevin had the nickname "Merlin".

However, Sirin still needs to carefully plan the "strategist" matters for the "Thirteen Heroes of Fire Chasing", and strive to make all thirteen of them "strategists" for the magical girl army.

— Sirin has already tacitly accepted that the "Thirteen Heroes of Fire Chaser" will become the "strategists" of the magical girl army.

"Then I'll wait and see!"

Alicia smiled slightly, then urged, "Alright! Now you should experience the experimental grounds of 'Paradise of the Past' for yourselves. Although it won't pose a threat to you, it's still a wonderful experience."

sound off.

Alicia gently touched the huge door-shaped device, which quickly activated it, revealing purple doors.

Xilin stared thoughtfully at the purple door, sensing a sense of déjà vu within it.

"I see, so it was based on the Herrscher powers of the Herrscher of the Void?"

Celine murmured softly, then stepped through the purple door, truly entering the "Paradise of the Past".

Angeline followed closely behind, but ended up passing directly through the purple door and was unable to enter the "Paradise of the Dead".

"How is this going?"

Angeline looked at Alicia, her expression remaining indifferent.

Alicia furrowed her brows, then slowly relaxed them.

"Strange, this is the first time we've encountered a situation where we can't get in. Could it be that the device is malfunctioning?"

"It's alright, I'll have someone come and check it out later, so please wait outside with me for a bit."

Although Alicia attributed Angelin's abnormal situation to a malfunction of the gate device, she was well aware of the actual situation. It was clear that Angelin's strength exceeded the limit of "Paradise of the Past", which was why she could not enter "Paradise of the Past" normally.

After all, Angeline is the "Herrscher of the End," and there are very few devices or equipment that can support her.

Then, Alicia looked at Qiu Bi and Delta.

"Hmm~ You should be able to enter normally, go ahead and try it."

Upon hearing this, Delta hesitated and looked at Qiu Bi, as if asking who should enter the entry-level device first.

After a second of thought, Qiu Bisi instructed Delta to enter the entry-level device.

Sirin has entered the gate-shaped device, which means that the area behind the gate-shaped device must be in a relatively safe state, and at least Delta will not encounter any accidents.

"Teacher, I'll be going now."
