The Previous Era held several countermeasures. Project STIGMA corresponded to Kevin. Project Valuka was handed over to Su. Project Ember was assigned to Hua.
Finally, Project ARK was first given to Kosma before he passed it onto Griseo.
All four projects failed.
Su wasn't able to find a Bubble World containing the key against the Honkai. Hua's act of teaching humanity the Blade Mantra resulted in the advanced appearance of the first Judgement-class Honkai Beast, Chi You. Kevin failed in his attempt to enact Project STIGMA, resulting in the current development of Earth.
Griseo's Project ARK failed the moment she entered the edge of the solar system. Fire MOTH considered a lot of factors at that time, but they never considered a goddess interfering.
1,500 years ago, the Ark crash-landed on a planet near the edge of the solar system. Griseo was placed upon a samsara loop where she had to relive the same day for 1,500 years. She only had herself at that time. It was nothing short of a grueling experience—retaining her sense of self was a miraculous feat.
Griseo encountered a stroke of luck upon years of waiting. The power shown by Kiana and Shi Tian intimidated Sa. She threw away most of her arrangements to do a last-ditch attempt at Mars. That included Griseo.
She was discovered once Sin Mal expanded her spiritual consciousness throughout the solar system. She was indoctrinated with new sayings such as "Cutting off one's trouble at the roots". Sin Mal checked around to see if Sa had any backup plans—to which there was none. Her discovery over Griseo at the crashed Ark was a coincidence.
Griseo was taken back to Earth. She was treated with all sorts of spiritual pills until she woke up. Everyone had a problem after that.
Nobody knew what to do with her.
It wasn't until a rather unexpected person came that this problem was solved.
"Staring at the Sun again? Wouldn't your eyes hurt?"
A concerned voice came from behind Griseo.
"I… made a promise with someone."
"..."
Senti scratched her head. Even after four months, she could not truly understand Griseo. She was confident she could take care of her, just as she (Fu Hua) did back then. Unfortunately, she could not.
Senti was aware of Griseo's experience, though it is precisely because of it that she chose not to say anything randomly. She is sensitive enough to avoid reminding Griseo of that experience, but she doesn't know what to do for the rest.
'Can she handle this..? No. I can do it better than her!'
A lot of unseen things happened between Fu Hua and Senti. The latter used to be the Herrscher Persona brought by Fu Hua's thousands of years of memories. Senti represented another version of Fu Hua—one that placed matters into her own hands.
Unfortunately for her, Fu Hua possessed the capabilities of an immortal cultivator and an awakened Herrscher. Senti was forced to watch everything from the sidelines.
By the time the Honkai was defeated, Senti felt lost. Her presence in Fu Hua's life diminished to the bare minimum. She no longer knew of her purpose.
'She did what I wanted to do. There is no use for me…'
That went on until Fu Hua confronted her after twelve long years.
"I am granting you a new life."
"...What for?"
"To see the things I would have never done."
Fu Hua acknowledged Senti's presence, more so the impact she brought to her. She is another version of Fu Hua. Whatever mistake Fu Hua is bound to make, Senti might not. The same applies otherwise.
Senti was not just a fake; she is a part of Fu Hua.
That resolution sent Senti into a whirlpool of emotions. Knowing she needed time to process everything, Fu Hua went into a seclusion after giving her a physical body.
Little did she expect, Griseo would return to Earth. The task of taking care of her fell to Senti.
Seeing Griseo acting like this reminded her of herself… and she hated it. She thought for a long while before speaking:
"You used her colors once, but not mine. Isn't that unfair?"
"Sister Senti…"
Griseo looked at her with a startled look. In the past, she used to transform into others by taking on their colors. She did not know much at that time, but once she was aware enough, she stashed that ability. It was far too disrespectful to intrude upon one's personal space like that.
"You will have to make things up."
Senti flashed an unrestrained smile.

We finished our shortest dual cultivation session. Three days was all it took to turn Kiana from a naughty girl into a dazed Tuna.
I cleaned up the bed while she sat silently at the edge of it. The damp bedsheets became clean after a cleaning spell. If it had any masteries, it would have been [Beyond Perfection] due to the number of times I had to use it.
I swiftly sat beside Kiana after cleaning everything up. Her blue eyes contained that mystical purple star, though she remained dazed.
A strong sense of guilt came knocking to my mind.
"Let's not do that again, okay?"
Her irises focused as she regained consciousness. She wanted to say something when her legs trembled once again.
A brief moan escaped her throat as she bit her lower lip. The cleaned up bed turned damp again.
"I-it's not like I can't… Hn..!"
Just like that, she came for the umpteenth time. I placed my right hand onto her back and helped her digest the recovery pills I fed her. It took another day for her body's state to return to normal. Kiana could not speak properly until tomorrow. Her naked body did stir up the desires on my lower body, but reason prevailed over it.
"It's my first time taking it all in…"
"Does that matter?"
"...Yeah."
Four days ago, Kiana started a dual cultivation session. Like drought to a farm field, she was especially active in milking me dry. Unlike Seele and Veliona, she mastered the art of riding my dick without her womb hurting.
That was when she proposed to try out the dual cultivation techniques she saw. It was tame at first, like the Lactation Spell and Increased Sensitivity. But then, she used the more risque ones such as the Breast Enlargement Spell, Aphrodisiac Pills, and even the Womb Modification Spell. The last one increased the depth of her pussy, which made her irises roll out literally once I inserted my dick inside.
When everything stacked upon together, it made Kiana super sensitive. She came nonstop and got locked out of her dazed state. I had to cancel her spells altogether and deal with the aftermath.
"So, which one's bigger? Mine or the new Shenzhou girl?"
…
Was this why she did all of this?!
