My days as a Simulation Herrscher since the Honkai Impact

Bai Chen felt that finding Kevin to train them was the best decision he ever made. After all, Fu Hua had lost most of her memories and power, and in terms of combat experience alone, who in the world could compare to Kevin?

Furthermore, Bai Chen has now used Kevin as a fulcrum to find Mei from the past. According to Mei herself, she came after witnessing the birth of the Herrscher of the End. Although she couldn't bring any research materials or her self-developed supercomputer, Mei herself is the most important database in the world, and 99% of the research can be entrusted to her.

"What do you think of them?" Bai Chen asked Dr. Mei with the same pride he would show off to his lab colleagues about the mice whose fur and tails he had trimmed.

"Very good. Not only does it possess the power of a Herrscher, but it also retains human consciousness and has not been corrupted by the Honkai. This is a miracle of our time and a stroke of luck for humanity. If we had more Herrschers like this, the Stigmata Project would be unnecessary." Mei's gaze fell on the fox lady below, and she sighed softly.

"If that tragedy hadn't happened back then, and people didn't have so much prejudice, Sakura's sister might not have died so tragically. If my research had progressed faster, she might have become one of us, as the Herrscher of Corruption."

"The biggest regret in life is regretting the regrets of the past. Dr. Mei, I didn't summon you from history to hear your stories of failure."

“You’re right,” May nodded. “Let’s continue discussing the plan you proposed.”

Mei had a laptop in her hand, which belonged to Bai Chen. It contained not only all the knowledge and information Bai Chen could find, but also the scanning and detection data of the Quantum Sea from the Tianming Research Department.

"If you want to complete your plan, you will need the power of the four Herrschers: the Herrscher of Reason, the Herrscher of Thunder, the Herrscher of a Thousand, and the Herrscher of Knowledge. Furthermore, they must develop their abilities to a very high degree and work together to complete the initial form of your plan."

On the computer screen, a red Earth projection was constantly rotating in the center, surrounded by dense annotations, like blueprints for a super weapon capable of covering the entire planet.

This was Bai Chen's new proposal to replace the Stigmata Project. He used the simulation blueprint of this new weapon and the promise to call upon heroes from history to fight against the Honkai in exchange for Kevin's temporary support.

Mei had just been summoned when Bai Chen pulled her into this imaginary space and gave her a blueprint for a plan that even surprised Mei.

"Currently, only the Herrscher of Reason and the Herrscher of Thunder seem to support us, and their current level of development is far from meeting the minimum standards for implementing this plan." The woman's beautiful eyebrows furrowed as she lightly tapped the keyboard. "And how can you guarantee that the Herrschers that appear later will also stand on the side of humanity? Leaving aside the Herrscher of Consciousness for now, the Thousand Herrschers are themselves a collection of many spirits, born from the Honkai Will. No matter how you look at it, it's impossible for them to stand on the same side as humanity."

“I naturally have my own methods. I can reveal a secret to you. Although I am just a tourist from another world, to me, the Herrscher is me, and I am the Herrscher. As long as I am here, it is equivalent to possessing the power of all the Herrschers.” A beautiful gem appeared in Bai Chen’s hand. This was the core of the Herrscher of Wind, the Gem of Desire. It originally belonged to Kevin, but now, as part of the transaction, it was temporarily stored with Bai Chen.

He tossed the Gem of Desire up and down. If he included this core, he had found four Herrscher powers. According to the rules of the simulation system, he would definitely receive a good reward after each simulation. If it was a reward that could be applied to technological equipment, it would mean that humanity could create a total of four special strategic weapons of wonder level.

Mei pushed up her glasses and stared at Bai Chen for a moment with a slightly surprised look. She knew Bai Chen's background, but she never thought that Bai Chen could be so special.

But Dr. May is also a smart person. Smart people don't delve into the origins of their teammates. As long as the final result is beneficial to fighting the Honkai, minor details can be ignored.

“If that’s the case, then we have even more room to maneuver. Bai Chen, you’ve only been in this world for a short time, and your understanding of Honkai energy isn’t deep enough. If you had enough time, we could refine the details of this plan and make it several times more powerful than it is now,” Mei said confidently.

"But the name of this project is a bit strange. Does it really have to be called that?"

“Of course, the Alaya Consciousness Project will be the spark born from the unity of human spirit and belief, just like you once named yourselves the Moths of Fire.” Bai Chen placed the Plato Cube in Mei’s hand.

“Alaya-vijnana, that child will steal fire from the sky and burn the gods on the tree to ashes.”

Chapter 88 Turning Humans into Firewood

One person alone cannot fight against the Honkai. But with so many humans in the world, why must one fight the Honkai alone?

Bai Chen had carefully studied the genetic map of the humans in this world. In their genes, there were some special segments, that is, the part that contained the power of the Holy Mark.

Although not everyone has the adaptability to Honkai energy, and not everyone can possess great power, they all have potential, even if it is only a tiny bit.

If the power of the Holy Mark within them were forcibly activated, it would cause unimaginable casualties. It would be a miracle if the world's population were reduced by more than half. The most likely scenario is that only one country's population would remain in the world.

Bai Chen certainly didn't want to turn the world into that horrible state. To him, humanity was an important resource, and treating it as a disposable commodity would be a very unwise choice.

His plan was much milder. He would create something like a holographic game hibernation pod, connecting the minds of six billion people in the world together. At the same time, he would allow them to awaken a small part of their own power while they were asleep, turning all six billion people into burning bioenergy batteries to cultivate the Alaya consciousness he planned.

This is a super energy weapon driven by genetic and spiritual power. In the idealistic world of Honkai, the beliefs of hundreds of millions of people are superimposed on the Herrscher controlled by Bai Chen, which is enough to create a magnificent miracle.

If you don't have enough knowledge, make up for it with computing power. If you could connect to the brains of 100 million people, even a goose should be able to fly.

Compared to the Stigmata Project, this sustainable and scalable plan is certainly better. This is why Kevin was willing to accept Bai Chen's cooperation proposal, and why Dr. Mei was also willing to participate in the project.

Of course, in addition to these, there are also some new suggestions from Otto, but those suggestions are more radical and the methods are more intense. Whether to use them depends on the progress of Destiny's research.

“I need a considerable amount of time to refine this plan. Many of the technologies involved can be extracted and improved from our previous research. You may not know this, but we once implemented a Paradise Project, some of which are similar to the requirements you are now making…” Mei said, letting out a soft sigh.

"However, I'm afraid I don't have the same research conditions as before, and it will be difficult to find collaborators as capable as them again. I can't guarantee how long it will take."

“I can provide the Void Treasury.” Bai Chen recalled the Divine Key that Dr. Mei had personally created.

"This is indeed good news, and the chances of success have increased even more." Dr. Mei's attention was entirely focused on the computer. In addition to the project proposal, the computer provided by Bai Chen contained all the information about the world's history, culture, geography, and emerging cutting-edge technologies. These documents were originally collected by Bai Chen to understand the world, and now they were also perfect for Dr. Mei to understand this new era.

Even as the two were talking, the battle below continued.

Perhaps it shouldn't be called a battle, since a battle should involve two sides, not just one person beating up the other.

A human fighting against three Herrschers sounds like the three Herrschers are bullying a poor human, but the reality is quite the opposite.

Kevin wasn't serious. He didn't have the Divine Key, Judgment of Heavenly Fire, in his hand, nor did he fully unleash his power. He only used a little technique, and his level of seriousness was equivalent to training new recruits who had just transformed into Fusion Warriors.

Even so, the three Herrschers struggled to hold on against him.

The situation on the field is somewhat unsightly. Raiden Mei, thanks to the Herrscher of Thunder's super-fast reaction, is barely able to keep up with Kevin's actions, making her the one who has taken the least hit. She holds her long sword horizontally in front of her chest, and although she is panting heavily, she still stands upright and is in relatively good condition.

The other two are far inferior. Bronya has been the Herrscher of Reason for too short a time. Not only has she not been able to familiarize herself with her own abilities, but she has not even fully completed the fusion with the Herrscher core. She directly faces a powerful enemy like Kevin, and she is now experiencing instability in the fusion of the Herrscher core.

The girl knelt on the ground, before her stood Black Seele, her eyes bloodshot, surrounded by crimson power, wielding a pair of giant claws. At her heart, a dim gem was partially exposed—the core of the Herrscher of Reason, previously blasted out by Kevin's powerful blow, and now, under Bronya's forced manipulation, it was merging with her once more.

At the other end of the training field lay Kiana, sprawled out in a starfish shape, covered in several wounds, her face swollen shut. For her, who wielded the power of the Herrscher of the Void and needed to fight with wits, Kevin was the most formidable enemy.

Kevin's Honkai energy perception is even stronger than Kiana's. Any trap is meaningless to Kevin, while Kiana's attacks all require charging. A mage who needs to charge up is obviously going to get crushed by a warrior who is several times faster than her.

"Why should we risk our lives for that bastard Bai Chen's arrangements? He won't even come out and explain himself to us!" Kiana lay on the ground, staring intently at the floating platform above.

She could sense Bai Chen above her, and she could even imagine him drinking cola, watching the battle below, and wearing that infuriatingly malicious smile.

Even a paramecium has its day to fight back, and Kiana's chosen form of resistance is to lie on the ground and not move, unless Bai Chen properly explains everything that is happening to them.

With another resounding crash, the Frost Greatsword slashed Raiden Mei away, the lightning exploding across the training ground, yet still unable to penetrate the thin layer of ice in front of Kevin.

After slicing Mei away, Kevin didn't continue his attack, seemingly realizing that the girls were about to reach their limit, and sat back down on his ice chair.

“If this is all there is to it, you won’t even see the face of the End.” Kevin’s voice was as cold as an Antarctic glacier.

"But fortunately you still have time. Bai Chen said that lying in bed will not affect your studies, so every week from now on I will give you special training. If you succeed, you can leave the training ground. If you fail, I will also ensure that you can enter the training ground again the following week."

Kevin spoke while glancing at the Herrschers in the arena. At that moment, he suddenly understood Bai Chen's enjoyment.

Chapter 89 Beacon to Another World and Return

Although Kevin is somewhat expressionless, he is actually a reasonably competent leader.

At the very least, he possesses sufficient military strength, rich experience, and clear and calm judgment. With these three qualities, he is a reliable commander on the battlefield.

Similarly, he is also a very good instructor. Back when he was still with the Fire Moth, when the battles with the Herrschers were not yet particularly intense, many new recruits were trained by Kevin himself.

In the training ground, the girls who had just gone through a fierce battle sat together again, exchanging wry smiles, while the floating platform in the sky opened a door leading downwards.

A semi-transparent spiral staircase stretched from the platform all the way to the ground, and Bai Chen and Dr. Mei arrived at the training ground together.

"The first training session is over. Kiana, when you get back, write a report summarizing your experiences and takeaways from this battle, and also plan your future career path," Bai Chen said with a smile.

"As for Mei, your course hasn't officially started yet, but I have high hopes for you. You'll definitely learn faster than Kiana."

"And Bronya, the Herrscher of Reason's infinite creation isn't used like that. When I get back, I'll personally visit Anti-Entropy and have a friendly conversation with Welt. By the way, I'll teach you how to develop the Herrscher of Reason's abilities from now on."

Without giving the girls a chance to object, Bai Chen directly and straightforwardly made plans for their future.

Now that Destiny is his ally, and Kevin, the leader of World Serpent, is willing to temporarily support his plans, while Anti-Entropy, as a young organization, is no match for Bai Chen, whose leader, Walter, is far from being a match for him.

Regardless of what Walter was thinking or what other tricks he might have up his sleeve, faced with the undeniable facts, he ultimately had no choice but to cooperate with Bai Chen.

As for Theresa of the Far East branch...

After all, she is Otto's favorite granddaughter, and Otto will definitely handle it properly. Bai Chen doesn't need to worry about it.

Kiana nodded helplessly, and Mei and Bronya could only follow Kiana and temporarily obey Bai Chen's arrangements.

This journey through the Sea of ​​Quanta has essentially come to an end. The Desire Gem has been obtained, Seele has been found, Kevin has successfully returned to the real world, and Dr. May has also joined the journey.

However, there was still one important thing that couldn't be done.

"Kevin, May, where did you put the signal receiver for the escape pod in Project Fireseed?" Bai Chen asked the two people beside him, remembering that he still hadn't been able to find the signal receiver.

Dr. Mei pushed up his glasses and pulled Gretsch to his side: "That was an accident. Because of the arrival of the End and the severe shortage of manpower, we did not send a fusion warrior to place the Fire Seed communicator. Instead, we sent an ordinary warrior to dive down to Abyss City."

"He not only carried a communicator, but also a batch of technological equipment that we wanted to preserve in the Sea of ​​Quanta for future generations. However, after entering the Sea of ​​Quanta, he encountered a once-in-a-century catastrophe. For some unknown reason, a natural phenomenon similar to a rising tide appeared in the Sea of ​​Quanta at that time, which caused him to be swept into a huge spatial wave."

"The last thing we learned was that he didn't end up in any of the world bubbles. Instead, he was transported by the spatial wave to a different world that we had never observed before, along with all his supplies and the Fire Seed communicator."

Mei lovingly ruffled Gretsch's short blue hair, shaking her head helplessly: "More than 50,000 years have passed, and the records from that time have long been lost. Finding that other world is simply a pipe dream. Moreover, the technology of this era has regressed on a large scale."

Bai Chen was not disappointed after hearing this, but thoughtfully reached into his pocket.

Before setting off to the Sea of ​​Quanta, Bai Chen deliberately took Fischl's Eye of God. Although he was unsure if it would be of any use, it was better to be safe than sorry.

"Do you still remember that soldier's name?" Bai Chen asked.

“Let me think… For me, it was just a short time ago, and his name should be… Teyvat.”

Upon hearing the name, Bai Chen couldn't help but chuckle: "This is truly... an unexpected twist of fate."

"What? You've already observed this other world?"

“Actually, although we haven’t observed it yet, once you step out of the Sea of ​​Quanta, you will be able to see the girl from another world with your own eyes.” Bai Chen took out the Eye of God and handed it to Dr. Mei.

Dr. Mei held the Eye of God in her hand and examined it carefully. This magical item, which was clearly different from Honkai energy, did indeed attract her interest.

“It’s not a Honkai creation, yet it contains such peculiar power. It’s almost like a degraded Honkai energy, retaining only a single attribute. It’s far less powerful than the omnipotent Honkai.” Mei immediately recognized the difference between elemental power and Honkai energy.

"Although it's not very strong, it's quite interesting. This isn't something that could have been created in our world; it's definitely a gadget from another world. And it's not the work of celestial beings. I know the characteristics of those guys; their power is far more aggressive than this."

After playing with it for a while, Dr. Mei returned the Eye of God to Bai Chen.

“If there is a living person from another world, it is not difficult to locate the other world. What’s more, we still have you, the Herrscher of the Void. Give me a few days, and I can put the exact coordinates of that other world in front of you.”

"However, you must take Kevin and me with you when you go to another world. Maybe we can find a new way to fight the Honkai in that world."

Bai Chen, of course, wouldn't refuse and immediately agreed to Dr. Mei's request. He also really wanted to go to Teyvat to see the Heart of God and the Eye of God in that world, which might provide new ideas for his Alaya-vijnana project.

With everything settled, Bai Chen retrieved the imaginary space he had opened in the Sea of ​​Quanta and redefined his location to return to the real world.

Having just gone through a fierce battle, the girls traveling with him were too exhausted to continue traversing the Sea of ​​Quanta. Bai Chen simply enveloped everyone in space and carried them through several long-distance spatial traversals.

Otto was sitting in front of the Gate of the Abyss, teaching Karen, who was beside him, to decipher the data tables and calculation formulas on the computer. This kind of knowledge, which she had never seen before, made Karen's temples swell.

Just as Karen was about to reach her breaking point, violent spatial fluctuations spread outwards through the Abyss Gate.

Bai Chen took a deep breath of the cool sea air, and the quantum underwater swim was successfully completed.

And he can finally replace the Herrscher of the Void simulation and try out a new Herrscher.
