The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

"No, at least not now. Maybe he'll be willing to look at me once I've devoured the Gluttonous Star God?" Chen Li sighed.

Chen Li always felt that it was the God of Greed's loss that the God of Greed didn't pay attention to him.

What about my one-star rare item doesn't fit the characteristics of a gluttonous destiny?

Can't they eat anything?

Hmm...maybe the food Chen Li is eating is too low-grade?

Eating a Star God might be enough to catch the eye of the gluttonous Star God.

Just like before Chen Li forged the first rare artifact in this world, the Star God of Wisdom didn't give Chen Li much of a second glance.

You have to do something big to earn people's respect.

"???"

"Ahem, let's get back to the main topic. You want to see the Abundance Divine Object, and you also want to know my relationship with Abundance, right?" Chen Li asked.

Who exactly is changing the subject?

Although Jingyuan wanted to say that, he nodded anyway.

Jingyuan's time is precious, and he is only able to find time to see Chen Li thanks to Fu Xuan.

Although he didn't know what had gotten into Fu Xuan, who suddenly came to him saying that he was now capable of serving as a general, Jing Yuan, who was worried about not having time to meet Chen Li, took the opportunity to ask Fu Xuan to handle the work he had accumulated over the past half month under the pretext of a trial.

Jing Yuan made time for himself, Fu Xuan became the acting general, and everyone has a bright future ahead of them.

"Here, a bountiful divine object." Chen Li placed the ear of wheat directly on the stone table.

Upon seeing the ear of wheat, Jing Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and golden lightning faintly appeared behind him.

Jing Yuan did see the item Chen Li was holding, which was brimming with abundant divine power, at the Six Emperors Conference, but because it was through a holographic image, he couldn't feel it very clearly.

But when the ear of wheat was actually placed in front of him, Jing Yuan realized that the abundant divine power emanating from it was almost excessively concentrated.

Even Jingyuan's divine lord had a slight involuntary reaction.

"this!"

"See for yourself." Chen Li was too lazy to explain, so he simply tossed the Miracle Card [Seeking Medicine] to Jing Yuan.

Anyway, Chen Li is now appearing in his true form.

After receiving the Miracle Card, Jing Yuan hesitated for a moment before attaching his mind to it under Chen Li's guidance, feeling the miracle that belonged to Chen Li at that moment—the request for medicine.

Jingyuan remained speechless for a long time after viewing the Miracle Card.

As a hunting envoy whose mission is to conquer the bountiful lands, Jing Yuan was seeing the bountiful star god so "real" up close for the first time.

"You are... a blasphemer?"

"That's right... no, how is that blasphemy? Even the God of Abundance hasn't said anything. Besides, aren't you and the God of Abundance enemies? Why are you accusing me of blasphemy? I demand that your Immortal Ship immediately clear my name and record it in the new edition of the history book, to demonstrate the foresight of this medicine-seeking envoy!" Chen Li protested.

"That's not important, what's important is... how did you... my master..." Jing Yuan's thoughts were in complete disarray.

"Alright, stop overthinking. I'm from out of town."

"What do you mean?"

"I came from another world, so time has no meaning for me. The matter of seeking medicine actually happened not long ago," Chen Li said.

"Is your visit to the Immortal Ship related to my master... or Jing Liu?" Jing Yuan asked after a moment of silence.

Although Chen Li's explanation is absurd, there is indeed no other explanation at present.

Chen Li's youthful vigor was hard to conceal; an old man couldn't fake it.

"It's somewhat related. I came to deliver something to Jingliu, but I got lost and ended up on the Immortal Ship," Chen Li said with a sigh, holding his teacup.

"get lost?"

"Yeah, isn't that amazing? But after arriving on the Immortal Ship, I inexplicably became the Envoy of Abundance because of the Abundance Divine Object, and then had close exchanges with the Medicine King's Secret Teachings." Chen Li said quite frankly.

"The secret teachings of the Medicine King..."

"You might not believe it, but the reason your Cloud Cavalry was able to capture me was because I surrendered myself. However, the Medicine King's Secret Techniques later managed to break me out of prison," Chen Li explained.

"I see. Then why don't you turn yourself in again?" Jing Yuan asked.

“Because when I was in the middle of this mess, I already knew that I couldn’t get out so easily. I’m going to give you a big scoop as a thank you for the teapot and osmanthus cake you brought,” Chen Li said.

Upon hearing Chen Li's words, Jing Yuan subconsciously looked at the stone table and discovered that not only were the teacups gone, but the teapot was also missing.

Dude, do you know how expensive this teapot is?

"The Great Lord of Annihilation, Illusory Illusion, intends to launch a surprise attack on the Immortal Ship." Chen Li's words left Jing Yuan completely bewildered.

Who? The Great Lord of Annihilation, Huanlong? Is he out of his mind?

"You were shocked to hear this news, weren't you? I was shocked when I first heard it, because I couldn't understand why the Great Lord of Annihilation would cause trouble for the Immortal Ship." Chen Li nodded in satisfaction, admiring Jing Yuan's surprised expression.

Yes, that's the expression!

Chen Li's surprise was genuine, because even after watching the storyline of Collapse Iron, he still couldn't understand what had gotten into Huanlong.

There are plenty of easy targets in the Honkai Impact 3rd world, why do you insist on targeting the follower with the most unique relationship with the Star God in the entire Honkai Impact 3rd world?

Moreover, you've offended a star god who has revenge ingrained in his very being and has even made it the meaning of his destiny.

are you crazy?

It wasn't until Chen Li saw a text in the game that he realized Huanlong actually wanted to create an excellent body for himself and had his eye on the Abundant Blessing, which is why he set his sights on the Immortal Ship.

Oh, so you had ulterior motives. Never mind then.

"So... how about we cooperate?"

"Cooperation?" Jing Yuan's eyes widened upon hearing Chen Li's suggestion.

He was using all my words.

“Although the Great Lord Huanlong has not yet posed a danger to the Immortal Ship, if no unexpected event occurs, Huanlong could actually destroy half of the Immortal Ship. So even though Huanlong has not done this yet, I still have to ask you, do you want to take revenge on Huanlong?” Chen Li asked.

"Yes." This time, Jing Yuan did not hesitate and quickly gave his answer.

Because Jingyuan had no time to hesitate.

Honestly, in the Immortal Ship Alliance, a force entirely driven by hunting, if you, as a general, knew that a Great Lord of Annihilation might destroy half of your Immortal Ship, and someone asked you if you wanted to retaliate before the other party carried out their plan, but you refused...

Let alone if this matter reaches the Marshal, even if it is simply spread among the people, the entire Luofu Immortal Ship will be in an uproar.

The Immortal Boat emphasizes that even a feud spanning ten lifetimes can be avenged.

After all, the true meaning of the hunting journey is "revenge".

What? The other party hasn't done it yet?

So, we can't get revenge?!

Hunting is not such an inconvenient thing.

“Very good, it’s a pleasure to work together. However, I have another request.”

"What are your requirements?" Jing Yuan wasn't surprised, after all, it would be strange if Chen Li didn't make any requests.

Otherwise, why would Chen Li help Xianzhou when they are not related?

Just because Chen Li and Jing Yuan both have the same Immortal Boat Master?

You might as well tell Jing Yuan that Chen Li and Jing Liu have actually started a relationship, and that Chen Li only helped Xian Zhou because he was lusting after Jing Liu's body.

"My request is not excessive. I only ask that you return what belongs to me to its rightful owner."

"what?"

"The star stone I gave to you, the envoys of the Immortal Ship, when I was seeking medicine thousands of years ago."

Chapter 97: Do you want the Immortal Boat Marshal or a way to deal with the Demonic Yin Body?

Not long ago, when Chen Li was seeking medicine, he met the oldest medicine seeker of the Immortal Ship for the first time and gave him a star stone.

While saying he wanted to keep it as a memento, Chen Li was actually looking forward to handing over the star stone to the other party, wondering how many star stones he could obtain from this.

At this moment, the star stone took on an even more important meaning...

Although the star stone was only given to Chen Li a few days ago, it had a history of several thousand years for the Immortal Boat.

As the most important link in the turning point of the Immortal Ship's history, that star stone witnessed the transformation of the Immortal Ship from a short-lived species to a long-lived species.

Chen Li wasn't even sure how many entries there were on that star stone, or how bright they would be.

Perhaps the once-hunting star god also stood before that star stone, gazing up at this exceptionally beautiful gem whose purpose was unknown.

The value of that star stone is immeasurable.

Moreover, Chen Li might be able to witness the entire history of the Immortal Ship over thousands of years from another perspective through that star stone—perhaps even triggering the [Extract] skill.

As a condensation of energy related to time, space, and destiny, it seems not impossible for star stones to record history.

However, Chen Li had never come into contact with a star stone that had existed for so long, so he was not quite sure.

"What? You mean if I want to get this star stone before things are over, I have to sneak into the Ten Kings Bureau and take it out myself?" Chen Li's eyes widened.
