The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

"Dad, are you going to explain the pink sun in the sky to me?" Jing Yuan got straight to the point as soon as he connected with Chen Li on the video call.

"Ah, what are you talking about?"

"Pretending is useless. The Taibu Si is not just for show. Even with such a huge sun in the sky, they can't detect what it is." Jing Yuan's tone was quite calm, showing no sign of impatience.

"Are you sure the diviner can see it clearly?"

“Okay, no. But it’s vaguely clear that the person inside is that distinguished guest from the celestial ship.” Jing Yuan readily admitted this.

“I knew it. If the Grand Diviner could easily monitor the situation of a envoy, then the Grand Diviner would be invincible. Although the Qiong Guan Formation is indeed useful…” Hearing this, Chen Li nodded in relief.

"Commander? What commander? Isn't that the wondrous artifact you forged?"

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Alicia got to where she is today entirely through her own efforts. She won over the Pure Beauty Star Goddess with her own abilities!" Chen Li shook his head repeatedly.

"Wait a minute, my mind is a bit muddled, let me catch my breath." Jing Yuan's brain began to work at high speed, trying to process these complex linguistic logics.

"Simply put, after Alicia arrived in this world, she was spotted by the Goddess of Pure Beauty on her first day visiting Chang Le Tian, ​​and the Trial of Pure Beauty was initiated. Today, after passing the trial, she was successfully recognized by the Destiny of Pure Beauty and has now become a special individual who, while not exactly an Envoy, can still influence a small number of Destinies of Pure Beauty." Chen Li said, pointing to the pink sun in the sky.

Since the Star God is dead, he can no longer command envoys. However, the Destiny Path still exists. Therefore, as long as one can resonate with the Destiny Path, draw power, and reach the level of an envoy, one can be called an envoy.

So from a certain perspective, a dead star god is a good star god.

"..."

"Why are you so silent? You told me a while ago that I didn't need to worry about them causing trouble. I still have the chat history here," Chen Li said quickly after seeing Jing Yuan fall silent.

"...In my imagination, your friend was just someone who liked to look at pretty girls, and at most she would only bother the diviner of the Taibu Si and the captain of the Tianbo Si. Who would have thought she would become the sun of the immortal ship?" Jing Yuan sighed.

Jingyuan originally thought that this distinguished guest, who only liked to look at beautiful girls, was the least likely to cause trouble, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be the first person to cause trouble.

"I have a great idea! Just say it was done by the Medicine King's secret technique!"

“The Medicine King’s secret teachings wouldn’t involve such a thing. This doesn’t fit with the Medicine King’s secret teachings at all. I’ve already blocked the news; currently, only the Grand Diviner and I know about this. So, before things escalate, I need to come up with a perfect explanation,” Jing Yuan said.

"I have another good idea."

"What's the idea?"

"Wouldn't it be better to just trigger another, more remarkable phenomenon? Let me tell you..."

“It must have been the Masked Fool!” Jing Yuan suddenly interrupted Chen Li.

"what?"

“I said the pink sun in the sky must have been the work of the Masked Fool. Very well, the matter is resolved perfectly.” To prevent Chen Li from doing anything outrageous, Jing Yuan naturally shifted the blame to the Masked Fool.

"...Jingyuan, you're simply a genius." Chen Li couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

"In short, every one of you Fire Moths is incredibly talented. This Alicia has only been in the world for two days and has already gained the approval of Pure Destiny. And your other friend Sakura is even better than Yanqing in terms of skill, which is quite remarkable for her age. If it's just a matter of causing trouble like this, then I'm quite relieved." After deciding who to blame, Jingyuan felt much more at ease.

Jing Yuan is about to represent the Immortal Ship in issuing a strong condemnation of the Masked Fool!

Why not just explain Alicia's situation directly?

Ha, a character who seems to be a Pure Beauty Envoy has appeared in the Immortal Ship. Does Huanlong still dare to come to the Immortal Ship?

Anyway, the reputation of the Masked Fool is already bad, so it doesn't matter if it gets any worse.

Regardless, if the vanguard of destruction dares to touch a hair on the Immortal Ship, the Immortal Ship will surely offer its due revenge to express its respect.

I haven't even touched the Immortal Boat yet, I'm just thinking about it?

Even thinking about it is forbidden! Thinking about it is a sin!

If you dare to think it today, you'll dare to do it tomorrow. And the day after tomorrow, wouldn't you dare to set your sights on the Star God?

Huanlong is doomed! Jingyuan said so!

However, it would be better if we could catch them.

"You might be a little too optimistic." Seeing that Jing Yuan seemed to have remembered something happy, his joy was overflowing, Chen Li couldn't help but tease him.

"What do you mean?" Jing Yuan was taken aback.

He said, "It's nothing, just kidding."

Putting aside Sakura, who is an honest person, Alicia, who is the one who causes the most trouble on the surface, is actually the one with the least impact.

First, there was Velvi who quietly became the Envoy of Pleasure, and then there was Mebius who was noticed by the Triple Fate and even had the potential to become the Lesser Star God of Abundance...

Jingyuan, I'm so sorry!

Forget it, if these two cause any trouble, just say it was the Masked Fool.

……

"Yes, yes, okay, no problem, don't worry, I won't say anything." After dealing with Jing Yuan and hanging up the phone, Chen Li immediately received a notification from Fu Xuan.

Fu Xuan was asking Alicia how she ascended into the sky, and also informing Chen Li not to tell anyone that the pink sun in the sky was Alicia.

Only Jing Yuan and the Taibu Si (a high-ranking official in charge of the divination) knew about Alicia's situation, and Fu Xuan, the Taibu Si, had personally handed her over to Chen Li, so this phone call was inevitable.

"I originally intended to resolve this matter with praise of lofty morality, but since all the blame has been shifted onto the Masked Fool, then forget it." Chen Li casually tossed the merit coins in his hand into his mouth.

The fact that Alicia transformed into a pink sun, illuminating the entire celestial ship in a way that made it unlike a normal celestial ship, is undeniably immoral. Therefore, theoretically, it's possible to use high moral praise to make them subconsciously ignore this matter for the time being...

But now there's something even more convenient—the Masked Fool.

No matter how outrageous the situation, it's always right to blame the Masked Fool.

And the pink sun does indeed have the style of The Fool.

At the same time, Chen Li used "praise of lofty morality" to make the people in the teahouse forget that it was he who had kicked Alicia away with great force.

"So when can I come down?" Alicia asked, her voice filled with boredom after reconnecting with Chen Li.

"You can come down when you stop shining."

"...Then you should renew my subscription. It's better to shine here than to return to my original body after the projection ends and then have my original body shine too." Alicia sighed through the screen.

"You can stay suspended in the sky in peace. I'll think about the Temple of Civilization. Actually, I think the Temple of Civilization and the Paradise of Order could be combined, but I have another idea..." Chen Li scratched his head in distress.

For a craftsman specializing in rare items, having too many ideas isn't always a good thing.

Chen Li felt that while the idea of ​​the Temple of Civilization was excellent, the definition of civilization was still somewhat narrow...

"Then I'll leave everything to you. Just tell me if there's anything you need me to do, or anything you need me to collect. Once I've digested this power, I'll be more secure traveling in this world and should be able to help you with many things," Alicia said.

"It's not just about doing a lot of things. If all thirteen heroes came to the Collapse Iron World for further training, they could form a group to drag the Herrscher of the End out of her cocoon and whip her for three days and three nights," Chen Li complained.

How could one's will not be firm if one persisted in something for 5 years? And it just so happens that what resonates with one's destiny is precisely those with unwavering will.

Speaking of being 5 years old, it seems to be much earlier than some destiny events.

The downside of Honkai Impact lies in its worldview...

If all thirteen heroes were to come to the Collapsed Iron World, preserving their lives would undoubtedly be the only viable option for them. This is because each of them has made tremendous efforts to safeguard the civilization.

Even Padre, who lives only to survive, is willing to risk her life and use her luck to open a door to the Cocoon of the End next to the Herrscher of the End.

But to be more specific, Kevin is somewhat like a hunter, because—Kevin once stood on the burnt-out earth and made a promise that humanity would definitely defeat the Honkai!

This aligns perfectly with the concept of revenge.

Su is like a bountiful man, because Su was originally a doctor who helped people and saved lives.

Eden is like a homonym.

Aponia is like order, but its act of integrating into the afterlife with its own will is somewhat like memory.

The Thousand Calamities may appear to be destruction on the surface, but in reality, they are not.

We'll find out about Sakura later; it's probably a patrol, since the patrol's destiny is characterized by "ruthlessness," "decisiveness," and "revenge."

Kosmo's behavior is like that of a glutton, because he can evolve by devouring Honkai Beasts, while Kosmo's philosophy is more in line with that of the Sea Ranger, because Kosmo started out as a "hero."

Hua...this one is definitely a security protector!

Greta and Patto are pending.

"Jingyuan is right, everyone in the Fire-Chasing Moths is a talent!" Chen Li exclaimed.

"Where to next?" Jingliu's voice interrupted Chen Li's thoughts.

"How about revisiting this place? I happen to still have the pass that the Diviner gave me. I was originally going to take Alicia shopping..." Chen Li suggested.

"can."

“Then let’s go to the Crafting Department first. I have a companion there who is learning forging techniques. I can also go to the workshop to help you forge heroic artifacts,” Chen Li said.

Forging artifacts produces very special sounds, and Chen Li didn't want to spend crystals to summon a miracle shield, so the most suitable place for Chen Li was the workshop where the sound of hammering echoed.

"The Bureau of Crafts... Speaking of which, how's the project to create a wondrous object to suppress the Demonic Yin Body coming along?" The thought of revisiting Mirror Stream reminded him of the Demonic Yin Body.

The place called Xianzhou left a deep psychological scar on Jingliu.

"I plan to develop the artifact that suppresses the demonic body into a group-type artifact," Chen Li said.

"A rare item in groups? Then don't be polite with the Immortal Boat. The Immortal Boat has many good things. What price are you asking for?"

As the former head of the Luofu Sword Sect, Jingliu naturally knew just how important the artifact that could suppress the demonic body would be to the Immortal Ship if it could be widely used.

"Me? I didn't ask for a price; I told them to decide what to pay."

"This negotiation tactic is very clever. As the saying goes, rare goods are worth hoarding... What's free is often the most expensive." Jing Liu nodded slightly.

The most difficult negotiation is the one that doesn't involve negotiation.
