And then!
It felt like in the blink of an eye.
The news spread across the entire world.
From various countries, various organizations, the upper echelons, those in power, to later, all sectors of society, reaching every corner.
It didn't take very long at all.
That very night, after Kiana finished her dinner.
You could see it.
Online, it was an absolute uproar.
Offline, it was probably even more so!
The whole world seemed to be in an uproar.
Utterly unable to calm down.

Hot searches and trending terms, all related to Kiana.
During this recent period, quite a few artists and celebrities had been planning to seize the moment while the Sky Screen hadn't appeared and everything was peaceful to properly grab a spot on the trending lists.
Well, now that was shot.
Totally doomed!
They were just miserable.
Even trying to get on the hot searches, they had to worry: 'The Young Miss hasn't made any new moves, right?' 'No new Honkai Eruption has descended, right?' 'The country hasn't started evacuating civilians, right?' Or, 'The Sky Screen hasn't appeared, right?'
And now, their anxious hearts could finally rest in peace.
Ironically, they genuinely felt happy about it too.
"Great! The Honkai is gone, Honkai sickness will be gone too! Great! Just fantastic!"
"This round, I just woke up and it was already dawn!"
Before.
No matter who you were, there was always that worry. Not knowing when you might run into something. Things might seem safe now, but what about later? What if...?
What if, you were just gone in an instant.
Who would want that?!
The more status, the more position, the more money someone had, the more they feared death.
Now it's settled!
No need to worry anymore...
"Honkai energy rendered harmless? I don't really understand it, but! I know! The zombies, the Honkai beasts, they'll all be gone, right?"
"Right?!"
Ha!
Now that's a relief!
Now you can walk at night without worrying about some 'big cutie' suddenly jumping out and slapping you silly.
That's just great!

News, media.
Forums, Twitter...
Private outlets, or state media.
All were racing against the clock, vigorously reporting on this event.
Places with developed information networks naturally knew earlier.
In areas with poor information flow, various countries and organizations sent official members, like messengers in ancient times, going door to door, shouting the news to everyone.
For a time.
Online was jubilant.
Offline, it was pure carnival.
In many places, people spontaneously took to the streets in celebration.
In many other places, bosses immediately declared a holiday on the spot, treating everyone to drinks.
Some even poured out of bars, even onto the streets, howling with excitement, everyone drinking together in the streets.
Goods? Prices? Who needs money?! Just take it, I'm happy!
Some places, it was night, perfect! Night is the time to party.
Some places, it was daytime, no problem! Daytime works too.
Even in the early hours, many were woken up, grabbed their phones, had a sudden jolt of excitement, and couldn't sleep anymore.
Standing on their balconies, letting out a whoop, and instantly, all around the residential area, various other whoops and calls answered back, as if the whole neighborhood had turned into a zoo.
So happy!
"Good evening, dear viewers in front of your televisions!"
"I am Xiao Qin, a reporter from Shenzhou Television."
"..."
Kiana and the others were watching TV together.
They saw the live news broadcast showing the scene in the capital.
"As we can see! Because of The Young Miss, the Honkai has been confirmed to be over! All residents have taken to the streets, starting celebratory parades!"
Reporter Xiao Qin was also very excited.
The screen showed countless people, hanging lanterns and decorating, performing dragon and lion dances, shouting, waving flags.
All sorts of bright colors, a feast for the eyes.
Actually, as a major economic hub of Shenzhou, Sapphire City also had many residents living here.
Luckily, where Kiana and the others lived was relatively quiet, surrounded by official personnel assigned to look after them, who wouldn't dare to make a ruckus.
Otherwise!
Their area would definitely be very noisy too.
"Shall we go join the fun later too? It looks so lively!" Elysia, who loved lively scenes the most, clasped her hands slightly and proposed.
Kiana gave a doting smile and nodded.
After all, with perception interference spells, no one had to worry about being recognized.
Sharing the joy with the people sounded like a good kind of fun.
"Sir, you there!"
And on the TV.
Reporter Xiao Qin found a guy.
"What are your thoughts on the Honkai ending?"
"All I wanna say is, The Young Miss is freaking awesome!" The guy didn't bother with any pretenses.
He was very enthusiastic. He directly grabbed the microphone.
"I actually had Honkai sickness, but today, it rained, I got caught in it, and I'm all better now!"
That was true. Kiana's ascension to godhood benefited all living things.
The entire world, whether human, animal, or plant, received her blessing.
The heavenly rain was just the most common manifestation.
Whether it was deserts turning into oases, rivers becoming clear, abundant resources, bumper harvests, favorable weather.
Everything you could imagine, on this day, appeared. Even if only for a short time.
It was still incredibly uplifting.
Next, the auntie she interviewed was even more of a heavyweight.
"Let me tell you, all those bodhisattvas, all those buddhas and deities, they're useless! If you don't even worship The Young Miss, the true living god right here, you totally deserve not getting any protection."
"So?" Reporter Xiao Qin was startled.
Before the auntie could even speak.
The entire group of elderly ladies with her eagerly brandished their 'gear'.
There were jade statues of Kiana.
There were exquisite hanging scrolls of Kiana.
There were even some jade pendants of Kiana, with her likeness carved right on them.
Was this merchandise?
No...
This couldn't even be called merchandise anymore!
This was clearly for making offerings!
Who knew?
The aunties nodded affirmatively, speaking in unison.
"Thanks to The Young Miss, my back doesn't hurt, my legs don't ache. I'm going to enshrine The Young Miss! I pray she blesses my son to find a good wife."
"Yes, yes, three sticks of incense every day, healthy for life!"
"The Young Miss has done so much for us, we have nothing to thank her with. Offering some incense daily is surely better than those useless gods and buddhas."
However, in fact, this kind of thinking wasn't unique to these aunties.
Many people online were talking about it. Who said it first was already lost to history.
But since everyone felt it made perfect sense.
The Young Miss definitely needed to be enshrined.
If this were ancient times, wouldn't she be a sage? Wouldn't they erect a longevity tablet for her?
And so, while it was indeed a bit of a wild move.
Their reverence and adoration for The Young Miss were equally genuine, without a hint of falsehood.
