[Star Dome Railway - March 7: Alas, Mei could have comforted herself that Kiana didn't know the details. But Kiana not only knew everything, but was also ready to take the same risk as in Sky Dome City. Mei must be very sad...]

[Genshin Impact-Paimon: I think she will definitely not let Kiana hurt herself like this again, right? ]

[Starry Sky Railway-March 7: But judging from the current situation, if even "Anti-Entropy" can't solve the crisis in Changkong City and Kiana's physical problems, what can she do? 】

[Starry Sky Railway-March 7: Ah!!!]

[Star Dome Railway - March 7: You guys think... Mei is not going to look for the "World Snake", right?]

[Honkai Impact 3 - Theresa: This... shouldn't be possible...]

[Honkai Impact 3 - Theresa: Although the raven is still trustworthy, I still think it is better to be cautious about the entire "World Snake". 】

[Honkai Impact 3 Tesla: After all, they are a group of lunatics who want to carry out the "Stigmata Plan". 】

[Honkai Impact 3 - Tesla: God knows what side effects the "method" they are talking about has. 】

[Original God - Paimon: That's right, after all, the "Stigmata Project" also said to fight against and solve the collapse, but the cost is really too high, it's simply unacceptable. ]

Amid the discussion among the crowd, a new video began to play.

[Now playing: Honkai Impact 3rd - Elegy of the Sinner. ]

[Starry Sky Railway - Gui Naifen: Elegy for the Sinner? This...could it be referring to Miss Kiana?]

[Original God - Paimon: Sinner... Hmm... It does fit somewhat... But what does this elegy mean? ]

[Star Dome Railway-Star: I always have a bad feeling...]

[Starry Sky Railway - March 1: Ominous premonition +.]

"What exactly is collapse?"

A man's questioning voice sounded in the darkness.

[Honkai Impact 3 - Theresa: Is that grandpa's voice?! ]

[Honkai Impact 3 - Einstein: Yes, it is Otto's voice. 】

[Honkai Impact 3 Tesla: It was that guy. I will never forget this disgusting voice in my life. 】

For a long time, Otto continued to search for the answer to this question.

He devoted five centuries to this project and searched documents spanning two eras. His understanding of Honkai is absolutely first among the seven billion lives on Earth.

He knew more and more.

He knew less and less.

In the end, Otto found that he didn't understand Honkai at all.

Where did He come from and where is He going?

What force drives Him, and to what end?

Why is He born, why is He intervening, why is He continuing, why is He stagnating, why is He erupting, why is He silent—

Is He a personified being or some kind of eternal rule?

Doubts, doubts... Doubts were like a surging tide, drowning, sweeping, and pushing Otto into the darkest and most terrifying abyss - the abyss called "Unknown".

He wanted to move forward, but he didn't know where to go.

He wanted to set off, but he didn't know where the end was.

He explored, he doubted, he failed, he was lost.

He worries, he experiments, he suffers, he is anxious.

Five hundred years have passed, and the hypotheses he proposed are countless, and the conjectures he denied are immeasurable.

Answers emerged in his mind one after another, arranged, transformed, and combined, forming blueprints and pictures, which were torn into pieces and reassembled, reassembled and torn into pieces again...

In this repetitive process, a hazy phantom gradually took shape.

"Now, let's imagine a tree, the tree of imaginary numbers.

"There was a huge tree, the top of which was so high that one could not see, and its branches and leaves blocked out the sky.

“Beneath the tree, there is a vast sea, its depths unfathomable, its boundaries unreachable.

“Between heaven and earth, there was only one tree and one sea, and so they began their endless competition.

"The sea keeps expanding and accumulating, and the giant tree keeps taking root and growing. One wants to drown the other, while the other wants to absorb the other."

[Star Dome Railway - March 7: Is this the "Tree of Imaginary Numbers" and "Sea of ​​Quantum" that Uncle Yang and everyone in the "Honkai Impact 3rd" world mentioned? ! ]

[Starry Sky Railway-March 7: It sounds super awesome! ]

[Star Dome Railway-Topa: It seems that Mr. Otto will explain the "Tree of Imaginary Numbers" and the "Sea of ​​Quantum" in this video. 】

[Star Dome Railway - Doctor Truth: It just so happens that we can also understand how the imaginary number tree in the world of "Honkai Impact 3rd" is different from our world. 】

"The tree spent countless years under the nourishment of the sea, branching out into countless branches and producing countless flowers and leaves."

[Genshin Impact-Paimon: Wait, what do these words, Ganges sand, Asankhyeya, Nayuta... mean? ]

[Star Dome Railway-Walter: This is a Buddhist term in the world of "Honkai Impact 3rd". These three words are often used to describe a very large number.]

[Starry Sky Railway - March 7: It means infinity, am I right in understanding it? ]

[Honkai Impact 3 - Fu Hua: That’s right. 】

"In this endless process, in some insignificant corner, between some newly born leaf buds -

“A civilization called humankind was born.”

The tree of imaginary numbers. The moment Otto touched this noun, he completed his Eureka.

All that chaos suddenly became orderly, and he suddenly saw a winding path extending out of the darkness.

He began to run along the road, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter as he went forward.

Without realizing it, he had reached the end of science.

He knew that his predecessors' research had ended here, but he wanted to follow the path they left behind and jump into a darker, more invisible abyss -

“Imagine! Imaginary numbers are the starting point of mankind and the beginning of civilization.

“Time flows along the trunk of the tree of imaginary numbers, branching out into infinite worlds like its crown.

“Each branch is a form of civilization. Each flower and leaf is the present and past they left behind in the dimension of time.

"However, the development of the world needs constraints. In the competition with the quantum sea, the direction of the growth of branches and leaves is constantly screened and corrected by a mechanism.

"A naturally formed mechanism, a mechanism derived from imaginary numbers, a mechanism of nurturing, nourishing, and washing away, a mechanism of cleansing and eliminating.

"For humans, it is a disaster called collapse.

"That's right, that's right, humans will never be able to escape the collapse.

"Humanity can only move forward, because the tree of imaginary numbers must grow. If not, we will eventually wither like those failed worlds, becoming another bubble in the quantum sea.

“If we want to achieve permanent peace, mankind must return to the starting point of civilization, to imaginary numbers.”
