People are in Star Iron, and the game begins with the unsheathing of Heavenly Fire.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

For the next three days, Ron stayed in the laboratory arranged for him by the Black Tower, studying the special genomes in the Black Tower space station and using these genes from all over the universe to strengthen himself.

Of these, what Ron found particularly interesting was a gene called "Abundant Spoils".

This gene appears to originate from a group of beings called the Abundant People.

The people of the bountiful were originally just ordinary beings, but thanks to the blessing of the Star God Pharmacist of the bountiful, their bodies began to become immortal, fundamentally transforming them into another kind of being.

Thus, they gained eternal life, and also an almost indelible body and consciousness, achieving a tremendous sublimation on a physical level.

Although there is a certain cost, even with that cost, ordinary people would most likely be unable to resist the temptation of immortality.

At least in the short term, this is an absolutely irresistible and enormous benefit.

Therefore, ordinary people undoubtedly yearn for immortality.

Although Ron didn't have such a strong desire for immortality, and he didn't have such a great pursuit of such things, he still wanted to understand why the people of Bounty were immortal.

This might provide some reference for his gene technology.

In this way, he extracted almost all the genes from the [Abundant Spoils] collected by the Black Tower Space Station and created a brand new energy bottle—

【cure】.

To be honest, Ron was surprised when he saw the name of the energy bottle.

Because in almost all the records he saw about bountiful creatures, these bountiful creatures were said to have various drawbacks, and in some ways even more terrifying than the antimatter legions of the Destroyer Star God.

Despite being set up as a near-villain, the energy bottle that was created has a name that makes people feel beautiful just by looking at it.

To be honest, this made him feel an indescribable irony.

"To be honest, this energy bottle from the bountiful creature is quite a good match for my profession as a doctor. Normally, I should be researching energy bottles like this and trying to evolve them... However, according to the records, the power of bounty is a rejected power, especially by an organization called Immortal Boat, which, under the leadership of the [Hunting] Star God, hunts bountiful people everywhere. Although the power of bounty is not equivalent to that of bountiful people, if it continues to evolve, no one knows what will happen..."

Ling Lu hesitated as she looked at the [Healing] energy bottle in her hand, unsure whether she should use it as her primary energy source in the future.

After all, the energy bottles he currently possesses, whether for [Salvation] or [Evolution], are all geared towards combat.

Many of the functional energy bottles have disappeared in the previous battles against the end.

For example, the [Discipline] energy bottle he collected from the Firefly Moth could distort a person's mind and implant a mental imprint; the [Starlight] energy bottle could create matter out of thin air that did not exist in reality; and the [Infinity] energy bottle could grant the user immortality, allowing them to be reborn after death...

It can be said that Ron back then was far more powerful than Ron now, not in terms of strength, but more in terms of being almost omnipotent.

Aside from his main profession as a doctor, the only thing he can boast about now is his combat ability.

You should know that after the God of Destruction blessed his Heavenly Fire Judgment, a single sword strike could even burn down an entire galaxy...

However, even the strongest combat power has limitations when facing unexpected situations and cannot solve any problems.

So after much thought, Ron decided to keep the [Healing] energy bottle and planned to further develop it.

Although this might lead to conflict with the [Hunter] Star God and the Immortal Ship, Ron still felt he should be able to handle these troubles.

"According to the system, it's time to prepare for the next time travel."

As Ron emerged from the lab, he saw the system's time travel countdown.

There are less than ten minutes until the next crossing.

So he went from his laboratory to Black Tower's office and saw the familiar Black Tower lady changing Black Tower's sister's clothes.

"Why are you so late?" Black Tower complained.

"What's wrong?" Ron looked at the two girls who looked almost identical. "Why did you suddenly change her clothes?"

“This child and I look so alike that the staff on the space station can’t tell us apart, so I’m planning to change some of her features to make it easier to distinguish us.” As Heta spoke, he took out a pink dress and forcibly put it on his sister.

"Are they really that hard to tell apart?" Ron looked surprised. "When I looked at you, I could tell you apart almost instantly."

"This……"

Hearing Ron's words, Black Tower was slightly taken aback, and a few ripples inexplicably arose in his heart.

But she quickly overlooked this detail and replied, "What's the use if you can tell the difference? Everyone on the entire space station needs to be able to tell the difference! Otherwise, Estella and the others will keep getting it wrong, and they'll even mistake me for this girl and try to take me to eat some kind of kids' meal! Damn it!"

"..."

Seeing Black Tower's expression of disbelief, Ron couldn't help but smile.

He then suddenly spoke up: "By the way, Black Tower, I'm going to do an experiment next, which may require me to stay in the lab for a long time."

"Really? How long exactly?"

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be too slow."

Ron didn't know exactly how the system's time travel occurred, so he could only give a rough estimate.

Black Tower didn't seem to mind and casually said, "Alright, I'll be researching that girl with the star core and my daughter's experiments for a while anyway."

"Your daughter..."

Ron was somewhat surprised by the other party's attitude. Black Tower's current behavior was less like that of someone facing an experimental subject and more like that of someone genuinely treating Black Tower's sister as a daughter.

"What? Are you trying to correct me and say it's our daughter?"

"That's not..."

Ron shook his head, only to find that Black Tower actually looked disappointed.

Just as he was confused, Black Tower's sister, who had been tormented for a long time and tried on all sorts of clothes, finally broke free from Black Tower's clutches and hugged him tightly while wearing a pink dress.

"Dad, save me... Mom is a devil!"

"This……"

Seeing the girl's panic, Ron thought for a moment, then pulled her away and brought her back to the Black Tower.

"You guys continue, I'm leaving now."

"Hmph, whatever you want."

Black Tower spoke with an indifferent expression.

"Waaaaah, Daddy's a bad guy too..."

Ron then slowly left the scene under the pained gaze of Black Tower's sister.

[Countdown to time travel: 3, 2, 1]

Almost the instant Ron stepped into the laboratory, everything before his eyes began to change.

The high-tech laboratory began to transform into an almost snow-white wall. Although the white lab coats they were wearing remained unchanged, the material of the clothes became thinner.

Behind the white curtains, the blinding sunlight shone on his face.

Most importantly, there was a kind of Honkai energy emanating from the air that he was extremely familiar with.

He quickly realized that he had returned to the broken world once again!

Chapter Forty-Three: Heavenly Fire Shakes the Sky!

This is a world in ruins.

The so-called Honkai is a periodic natural disaster that randomly occurs at different times in every corner of the world and rapidly spreads a substance called Honkai energy.

Creatures infected with Honkai energy will gradually become twisted and transform into terrifying Honkai beasts.

Humans infected with Honkai energy will be corrupted by it and transformed into twisted zombies.

Furthermore, after each Great Honkai eruption, a Herrscher is born. Different Herrschers possess vastly different abilities, but they all share the same goal: to completely destroy human civilization.

If human civilization wants to continue in this world, it must find a way to defeat the Herrscher and completely resolve the crisis of Honkai at its source.

Of course, for some reason, the existence of Honkai is not known to everyone in the world.

Most people are kept in the dark about the Honkai, unaware of just how twisted and bizarre the nature of those sudden Honkai events truly is.

It is within this fragile balance that human civilization has slowly developed in this world.

Ron was also forced to travel through time by the system, arriving in this world that he was very familiar with, yet felt strange to him.

[Name: Ron]

[Affiliation: Senba Academy]

Position: School Nurse

Employee ID: 800-820-8820

Looking at the face on the teacher's certificate that resembled his own, Ron once again marveled at the system's bug-like ability to forcibly grant identities.

Each time he travels to a different world, the system gives him an identity that blends in seamlessly and naturally into that world.

By the way, is this the same identity I had when I came to the Honkai World last time?

Can the identity of a school health teacher be reused?

Ron sighed, put on his white coat, and sat down in the chair in the infirmary.

He glanced at the equipment and medicine on the table and quickly realized that this place was quite different from the Chiba Academy he remembered.

Last time, Ron traveled to a pre-Honkai civilization; this time, he's traveling to a current Honkai civilization.

There is a time difference of tens of thousands of years between the two.

Because Ron had once saved a world from a previous civilization, he seriously doubted whether the Honkai world he was traveling to this time was the same one he had come to before.

After all, if it's the same world, in the timeline where he has already defeated the Herrscher of the End, the Honkai world shouldn't have Honkai, nor should the Herrscher exist...

Just as Ron was deep in thought, the system suddenly beeped.

【Ding! 】
