My days as a Simulation Herrscher since the Honkai Impact

Fortunately, the one who appears now is Shi Bao. No matter how strong she is, she is just a child who has only recently developed consciousness and has no ability to resist deception. With Bai Chen's cunning and shrewd deception techniques and guidelines, it would be a piece of cake to fool a child.

The Herrscher of Consciousness controls the consciousness of all living things and is most skilled at illusion and brainwashing, making it perfect for gently hypnotizing and fighting against the disobedients of the Teyvat continent.

Before even seeing the Herrscher of Knowledge, Bai Chen had already planned out how to use her in the future. A dark blue flame burned in his eyes as he used his Construct ability to connect to the orbital satellites that Schicksal used to monitor the world.

The satellite alarm had already filled the entire page. Almost effortlessly, Bai Chen found Durandal and the Herrscher of Knowledge locked in a fierce battle amidst a vast, desolate mountain range, their fight evenly matched and seemingly undecided.

The Black Abyss White Flower is an extremely powerful Divine Key, and its user, Durandal, is equally outrageously powerful. The aftershocks of the battle between the two sides were about to level the continuous barren mountains, and Honkai energy was being splashed around like it was free. Every now and then, huge celestial swords would pierce the ground from the sky, creating a deep ravine.

The attack by the Herald of Knowledge even created several underground watercourses. By the time Bai Chen arrived, the barren mountains had been transformed into plains and valleys, and its ability to alter the ecological environment was comparable to a massive earthquake.

When Bai Chen arrived at the edge of the battleground, the first person to speak was not him, but the unassuming Void Insect Fu Hua who had been carrying him all along.

Since the Void Insect and the Feather of Dust merged together, Fu Hua's consciousness projection also attached itself to the Void Insect. She never left this new body, and as time went by, she gradually felt a sense of utter detachment from her homeland.

"Is this me? But how did I become like this? I can feel the aura of a Herrscher within myself. This is a new Herrscher, a Herrscher of Knowledge who has just been born in this era." Having also possessed a portion of Herrscher power, Kong O Fu Hua could naturally recognize that it was also a Herrscher of Knowledge, and immediately warned, "Don't be fooled by her."

Durandal and the Herrscher of Knowledge also noticed Bai Chen, this uninvited guest. Before Durandal could say anything, the Herrscher of Knowledge, carrying a huge black spear and surrounded by black mist as if she had been corrupted, charged angrily at Bai Chen.

"Hey, you over there, what are you wearing on your hand?!"

Her blood-red eyes were fixed on the Void Fu Hua that Bai Chen was wearing on his hand, which resembled a glove. This thing, which was like a living being yet also like an object, clearly had its own mental fluctuations and the energy display of Feather Dust, yet it also carried a strong Herrscher of the Void vibe. It was like a cross between a zebra and an elephant, and the result was so strange that even Herrschers found it intriguing.

"This is the new era Divine Key I created by using the core of the Herrscher of the Void, combined with the Herrscher of the Void's heart cells, using the Divine Key as the adhesive, and a portion of your spiritual power as the raw material." Bai Chen smiled and raised his hand, showing the Herrscher of Knowledge the Void Fu Hua in his hand.

"I know you must be wondering why I was able to obtain your spiritual power and how I created this twisted biological Divine Key." Seeing that the Herrscher of Knowledge was about to ask a question, Bai Chen immediately preemptively answered, causing the girl to swallow her question with a displeased expression.

"Do you want to buy these things back? I can sell them to you, including all the Feather Dust feathers, most of your remaining spiritual power, and various living products related to you. But what can you offer, Miss Fu Hua?"

Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Complete Fu Hua, The Complete...Me?

The Lawgiver of Knowledge, or simply Little Knowledge, looked at the Void Insect in Bai Chen's hand with great curiosity.

She had never seen anything like it in the memories of Fu Hua that she inherited. In fact, not to mention Xiao Shi, even Mei, who was a doctor, had never seen such a magical single-celled organism as the Void Worm before, not to mention that Fu Hua's consciousness projection was residing in it.

The Sky Insect, which had originally taken the form of a glove, quickly changed its shape, transforming into a small doll. This doll resembled a chibi version of Fu Hua, with a large head and a small body, and surprisingly, it even looked somewhat cute.

"I never thought I could transform into this form. This era is truly wondrous; all sorts of creatures emerge here." The Sky Insect muttered to itself, waving its tiny hands as if greeting Xiao Shi.

Bai Chen had just conveyed a message to her, telling her not to reveal the Herrscher's identity to the Herrscher in front of her. It seemed that the Herrscher occupying her body was in a very special state, and that breaking this balance rashly would have negative consequences.

One thinks he is Fu Hua, a Herrscher, while the other knows he is a Herrscher. The former can be easily coaxed into obedience, while the latter has to consider philosophical questions about who he is. Just coaxing the child takes a considerable amount of time.

It would be better to leave this matter to Fu Hua's true form. I believe that once she sees Xiao Shi's Fu Hua true form, she will quickly understand the deeper meaning behind Bai Chen's actions.

"Hey, you're the weird little thing. My name is Fu Hua, and I'm your true form. Show some respect." Xiao Shi moved closer to Bai Chen, grabbed the Void Insect by the collar, and held her in his hand.

After carefully examining it from top to bottom, left to right, even Xiao Shi couldn't help but exclaim: "Using the cells of the Herrscher of the Void to contain my consciousness, and then creating a magical creature with the powers of the Herrscher of the Void. Impressive, a very good idea. Even in the last era, there were very few people with such flexible thinking as you."

"Thank you for the compliment. I was worried you'd be averse to these novel creations, but I didn't expect you to be so much more open-minded than before after waking up." Bai Chen couldn't help but smile and said softly, "I'm so glad to see you looking so radiant. Fu Hua, long time no see, how have you been lately?"

"Oh? You knew me before? But why can't I find any recollection of you in my memory?"

Xiao Shi was delighted to be greeted by Bai Chen in a tone befitting an old friend. During her battle with Durandal, she hadn't intended to use excessive force, but for some reason, Durandal refused to acknowledge knowing her, even though she had sparred with Durandal several times before.

I never imagined she would be such an tactless person, yelling things like, "You're not Fu Hua, hand over Fu Hua's body, don't ruin the world with that face," and other incomprehensible things. It was so annoying to hear.

No one could compare to the handsome man in front of her who had such a sweet tongue. Not only was he good-looking and had a pleasant voice, but he could also make some strange little gadgets that she had never seen before. He was far superior to Durandal.

Although it was only their first meeting, Bai Chen's image in Xiao Shi's mind was surprisingly good. Bai Chen's act of acknowledging her identity as Fu Hua hit her sore spot, making it impossible for her to refuse.

"I used to be a researcher under Destiny, so of course I had quite a bit of interaction with you. Maybe busy people forget things, after all, Fu Hua, your memory isn't always that reliable." Bai Chen put on an expression that he wasn't surprised that you forgot him, his ability to lie through his teeth was unparalleled.

Because Fu Hua's memories are often fragmented, Xiao Shi couldn't tell whether Bai Chen was telling the truth.

"My memories from before might not be very good, but things are different now. Anyway, it was a lucky accident. That Archbishop Otto, who had no good intentions, actually helped me and helped me regain all my power. I'm no longer the timid old man who could betray even his own apprentice."

For the first time in thousands of years, the Crimson Iris Immortal, who had always faced the world with a calm and peaceful demeanor, revealed an innocent and healthy smile on his face, which possessed an extraordinary and otherworldly air. Although the smile was somewhat arrogant, when paired with the Crimson Iris Immortal's innocent and naive eyes, it appeared to contain three parts purity, three parts ignorance, two parts curiosity, two parts innocence, and ninety percent confidence.

"If that's the case, that would be wonderful. I've long hoped that the former Crimson Lotus Immortal could stand up again and lead us against the Herrschers' invasion. Although the Herrschers of this era are different from those of the past, more power means more hope. It's always good to be prepared."

"Good to know, good to know. By the way, since you're a researcher from Schicksal, can you tell me where everyone in this world has gone? Otto isn't here, and there isn't a single Herrscher. Could it be that they've all disappeared down some rabbit hole?"

Xiao Shi crossed her arms in front of her chest and found Bai Chen increasingly pleasing to the eye.

"Archbishop Otto, along with Kevin, the leader of World Serpent, and Bronya, the current Grand Master of Anti-Entropy and the newly appointed Herrscher of Reason, have all temporarily left the Honkai world and gone to a place called Teyvat to find a way to defeat the Honkai."

As Bai Chen spoke, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a purple Eye of God, handing it to Xiao Shi opposite him. The source of this Eye of God was none other than Ke Qing. Although she had temporarily gained limited freedom after agreeing to a series of unequal treaties with Bai Chen, her Eye of God was confiscated by Bai Chen as a weapon.

"In that world, we discovered a way for ordinary people to effectively and safely control Honkai energy and improve the combat power of the entire world. In fact, not only us, but also the Herrscher of the Void and the Herrscher of Thunder went to that world together."

Bai Chen said confidently, looking directly at Xiao Shi, since what he said wasn't a lie and there was no possibility of him being exposed.

However, a mental wave extended from him toward Durandal behind him. This wave did not hide from Xiao Shi in front of him, and even what Bai Chen was about to say could not escape the ears of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

“Lady Durandal, I am Bai Chen, a researcher who was recently transferred from Sky City. Everything that happened here is within the Archbishop’s plan. Please leave and I will handle this.”

Bai Chen passed the Herald of Knowledge and smiled gently at Durandal behind him. His warm and gentle demeanor made him seem like an important researcher who was truly powerless.

After recovering, Durandal took a deep breath to regulate her breathing. Looking at Bai Chen, who was smiling at her, she felt as if the hairs on her body were about to stand on end.

She is the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal, so of course she will not fear anyone in terms of strength, even if the person in front of her is a Herrscher. She believes that the lance in her hand can break through any obstacle in her way.

But those strange scientists with convoluted minds and knotted intestines were not included. She heard everything that happened in Sky City from Rita and was wary of this man who was exceptionally terrifying both as a Herrscher and as a human.

However, he is now a collaborator personally chosen by the bishop, and given that the bishop will travel with him to explore another world, his words can indeed represent Otto.

So Durandal quickly left the scene, carrying the Black Abyss White Flower. Bai Chen didn't need her to go to Teyvat with him; their current strength was sufficient, and it was better to leave this destined Valkyrie here to guard the home front.

"You have a high status. I didn't realize you were such a figure in Schicksal." Xiao Shi tossed the Eye of God up and down a few times between his fingers, confirming that it was indeed a special gem that allowed ordinary people to use Honkai energy. He glanced at Durandal as she left and whistled.

"But since you made such a great discovery in another world, why did you come back now?" She was also very interested in the Eye of God and couldn't help but ask.

"We encountered obstacles in that world. There is a supreme god named Tenri who rules that world, just like the collapsing will of this world. He is hindering our further development, and the situation is deadlocked. That's why he sent me back with the Void Insects to find reinforcements," Bai Chen replied, half-truthfully.

Xiao Shi couldn't detect his Herrscher identity because the Herrscher aura surrounding him lacked its own distinctive characteristics. Unlike each Herrscher, who possesses a clear aura, he, using the simulation system, had the feeling of being a Herrscher but wasn't specifically categorized. Moreover, this aura was almost identical to the Void Worm he carried. If one wasn't familiar with Bai Chen, it would be easy to attribute the Herrscher's abilities to the Void Worm.

"Huh? What kind of justice is this? Just hearing that name makes me think it's something bad. But you said Otto and Kevin are both here. Let's leave Otto aside for now, Kevin is an old acquaintance of mine. Although I'm reluctant to admit it, he's a strongman worth fighting. How could he be no match for a mere native from the World Cannon?" Xiao Shi dug out the parts of his memory related to Kevin and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

She certainly didn't think Kevin was stronger than her, but as someone she acknowledged as strong, it was truly disappointing if even a mere native from within the World Bubble could stop him.

"After all this time, Kevin has been seriously injured and his strength is not what it used to be. He can't fight alone and it will be difficult to deal with threats from all sides." Bai Chen sighed, as if they really had encountered a problem and had no choice but to return to the Honkai World to ask for help.

"Hearing you say that, I'm a little curious about just how strong this so-called Heavenly Justice really is." Xiao Shi immediately became interested.

Bai Chen immediately shook his head and waved his hand in refusal: "No, you are the guardian of Shenzhou. I know you swore that you would protect Shenzhou forever and would never leave this world easily. The situation over there is not so bad that we need your help. As long as we have time, we can solve it ourselves."

If Bai Chen had directly sent the Herrscher of Knowledge to Teyvat, she might not have been willing to follow his arrangements. But now that Bai Chen had refused her offer of assistance, it immediately ignited her strong competitive spirit.

"Bai Chen, listen carefully. I don't know why I used to live like an old-fashioned person, always nagging and complaining when fighting, never enjoying a fight, and experiencing loss and betrayal. But now I understand. What memories, what emotions, what duty to protect? Now I have regained all my power. I am Fu Hua, the strongest immortal in the world. No matter what kind of enemy I am, they cannot escape from me. I will protect this world in my own way and completely drive out the Honkai."

Xiao Shi threw the Void Insect back to Bai Chen, raised her right hand and clenched her fist. A small black sphere appeared in her palm. As the black sphere appeared, an energy vortex composed of Honkai energy appeared in the air. The massive Honkai energy was compressed into the sphere and, under the interference of some rule, began to transform into a breathtaking spiritual power.

Countless flashes of swords seemed to be flying up and down within the sphere. If it were to explode now, there would likely be no living being left within a radius of hundreds of miles. This was the world's most powerful mental bomb, containing the Void Sword Intent capable of destroying souls.

She suddenly leaned against Bai Chen, wrapped one arm around his neck, and placed the round ball in her hand in front of him with the other.

"Times have changed. I am not the same person I was before. I died from betrayal, and I was reborn from death. I am the Fu Hua this world needs, and I am the strongest protector of this world!"

“But Bishop Otto has a well-prepared plan. As long as it is executed smoothly, we will definitely be able to defeat the Heavenly Principle. We don’t need to do anything extra. Everything will be arranged by the Archbishop…” Bai Chen seemed a little hesitant, but in the end he decided to still carry out Otto’s non-existent tactic against the Heavenly Principle.

"To hell with Destiny and Otto! Bai Chen, I have faith in you. You're the first reasonable person I've met since I regained my wholeness, and you even managed to create such an interesting little gadget as the Void Worm, which is no less impressive than the Divine Keys that Dr. Mei created before. It seems that this amazing thing called the Eye of God also came from your hands. Since you have such technology, why not work for me? With me protecting you, we will definitely be able to build an organization even stronger than Destiny!"

Xiao Shi began to confidently recruit Bai Chen, but her tone of voice was not like that of a fusion warrior, but rather that of a mafia boss recruiting underlings on the street.

Bai Chen smiled slightly, said nothing more, and simply waved his hand: "Let's put these aside for now. I need to build a portal to the Teyvat world first. Only with a portal can we continuously produce Eyes of God."

After all, he couldn't change his Herrscher powers before the portal was completed, so he couldn't get the power from the Herrscher of Knowledge for free.

Without the power of the Law Enforcer, it would be difficult for him to brainwash the ignorant person in front of him.

Chapter Thirty: These are my beloved family and friends, my siblings.

In Bai Chen's plan, the Herald of Knowledge plays an irreplaceable and crucial role.

As a Herald of Consciousness specializing in spiritual and mental powers, Bai Chen would need her help to construct a magnificent structure connecting the consciousness of all humanity in the world, and for her to maintain the operation of the Alaya Consciousness Project.

Such an important position should have been entrusted to a reliable person, but considering that Xiao Shi is a newborn individual and still retains the uncertainty of a child, Bai Chen must have a certain degree of coercive measures and final means to ensure that the operation of the Alaya Consciousness Project will not be disturbed.

Fortunately, the current Herrscher of Knowledge is still in the stage where they are most likely to trust others, and they are easy to deceive and coax. Whether it is using their abilities to restrain others or using sweet words to deceive others, these are areas that Bai Chen is good at.

The original plan to set up a spatial gate at the headquarters of Destiny had to be changed. Because Xiao Shi couldn't find Otto, he almost completely demolished the entire headquarters building, and it would be impossible to restore it to its former state for at least one or two months.

Fortunately, the Tianming family is large and powerful, so spending tens of billions to build a building is not a big problem. However, they cannot take care of Bai Chen's side for the time being.

Bai Chen thought for a moment. Since fate was unreliable, he had no choice but to go to the World Serpent. He knew the location of the World Serpent's headquarters and also knew how to enter it.

However, beneath the World Serpent lies a relic from a previous civilization, one of the final solutions left behind to cope with the end of civilization. It is a special consciousness space that preserves the spiritual consciousness of the last thirteen heroes who chased fire, a paradise of the past.

From beginning to end, Paradise of the Past was never out of Kevin's control, but Kevin refused to enter Paradise of the Past. Since the destruction of the civilization of the previous era, he has never set foot in Paradise again.

Bai Chen didn't know what special principle Kevin was adhering to, but he knew that Dr. Mei didn't have such strange adherence. On the first day back at the World Serpent headquarters, Dr. Mei entered Paradise and stayed there for more than thirty hours.

Although the Paradise of the Past was not established by Dr. Mei herself, at that time, human civilization had few resources available, and as one of the highest leaders, Mei was certainly aware of what secrets the Paradise of the Past held.

Moreover, she seemed to have activated some special hidden program in the Land of Past Lives, and even specifically warned Bai Chen not to enter the Land of Past Lives casually in the near future, as this would interfere with the progress of the Alaya Consciousness Project and might even cause irreparable pollution to the project.

After all, Bai Chen was a special individual that Mei had never seen before, and she couldn't guarantee what kind of impact the information disturbance brought by Bai Chen would have on the meticulously constructed Paradise of the Past.

However, based on the information he had, Bai Chen knew that the Paradise of the Past was built using some spatial technology. He didn't know if establishing a spatial gate beneath the World Serpent's headquarters would interfere with the Paradise of the Past below, so he needed to project a portion of his consciousness back to Teyvat to inquire.

The Void Insect transformed back into a glove and put it on Bai Chen. He opened a spatial rift and stuffed a small teleportation robot inside.

Arriving at Teyvat unprepared on his first visit, Bai Chen suffered a major setback at the barrier outside the world. However, now he not only has a clear receiving location, but he has also found a way to break through the barrier with minimal effort. After all, the Herrscher of the Void's authority has extremely high priority, and as long as the Herrscher's authority doesn't malfunction, all spatial obstacles can be easily overcome.

After successfully sending the transport robot back to the Teyvat world, Bai Chen turned his attention back to Xiao Shi, who was curiously staring at the Void Worm.

"This little thing is so useful. Unlike the Herrscher Core, which each Herrscher only has one of, once it's forged into a Divine Key, there's never another one. And from what you've said, this thing can be mass-produced. Can't I have one to play with?"

Xiao Shi still remembered Bai Chen saying that as long as the money was enough, he could sell her something similar. The Herrscher of Knowledge also wanted to experience the power of a Herrscher. Although she was already invincible with her own abilities, no one could refuse a weapon that was practically a divine artifact, could they?

“Of course, but it requires enough time and enough materials. Although it doesn’t require a Herrscher core, it does require countless very precious biological materials. Both the cultivation and the funds required are extremely expensive, so expensive that even if the entire Schicksal’s resources were used, it would be difficult to replicate the product corresponding to each Herrscher.” Bai Chen smiled and nodded, seemingly really intending to sell Xiao Shi another Void Worm. “Fortunately, I have a set of materials on hand in Teyvat, but I haven’t started working on it yet.”

"In addition, I need Feather of the Frostbite, and the feather must also contain the spiritual projection you left behind. Another suitable feather is currently on Kiana Kaslana, the Herrscher of the Void. Once I return to Teyvat, I will seize the time and do my best to make another one for you."

"This thing is so precious? Hmm, that makes sense. After all, the technology of our current civilization can't keep up with the last era, and we went bankrupt trying to create the Divine Key." Xiao Shi scratched her head a little embarrassedly. She wasn't very close to Bai Chen, and accepting such a valuable gift from him on their first meeting made her feel a bit awkward. "If it's so valuable, I think I should just refuse it. I'd have to go and steal Kiana's things, that would be too embarrassing..."

"No, no, powerful weapons can only unleash their full potential in the hands of powerful people. Fu Hua, you are now one of our strongest forces, and you should rightfully have priority in receiving weapons. However, due to research reasons, our next product will be the Reason Worm, which possesses the power of the Herrscher of Reason. Please don't mind." Bai Chen smiled and waved his hands repeatedly, making sure that Xiao Shi accepted the gift he intended to give her. "Just as Kevin has the Judgment of Heavenly Fire, you should also have a powerful weapon of your own."

"Well, since you've said so, I'll gladly accept it!" The Herrscher of Knowledge didn't notice anything amiss and said happily, "Thank you so much, Bai Chen."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. We're best friends. Of course, I'll think of you if I get anything good."

Bai Chen was equally pleased. The Herrscher of Consciousness's abilities act on the mind, while the Herrscher of Reason's abilities act on matter; working together, they are incredibly efficient, making them arguably the strongest shield in the Alaya Consciousness Project. Furthermore, he could legitimately arrange for Fu Hua's original will to reside beside the Herrscher of Consciousness, constantly correcting her personality and subtly exerting a positive influence on her that even she wouldn't perceive.
