The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

"I'm not kidding, it seems I really have become the Balance Controller."

"……you sure?"

"I am sure."

"So Chen Li, your culinary skills are this strong? The more Star God parts you devour, the more you can surpass the Star God's authority and mobilize the power of destiny to become a Commander? How about I borrow it?" The Great Black Tower's eyes lit up.

The reason the Great Black Tower said this is because the power of the Envoy should not be something that can be obtained after devouring the Star God.

Although no one has ever been able to do this before, and probably no one will be able to do it in the future, the power of the envoy is actually more like a qualification or authority.

When the star deity of destiny is not in charge, the further you go on this path, the more likely you are to become a messenger.

However, if the star god of this destiny has not fallen and is still in charge, then who becomes the messenger is up to the star god.

The Star God grants the messenger authority, which the messenger uses to draw upon the power of destiny...

"You're overthinking it. Neither the Gourmet Cells nor the Food God Miracle Card will allow me to become a Commander after consuming a part of the Star God," Chen Li shook his head.

Consuming the Star God with gourmet cells will grant Chen Li a large number of attribute points and resistance to the Star God.

It can even simulate the deliciousness of the Star God, which is to say, it can mobilize the power of destiny just like the Star God.

The effect of the God of Food is that Chen Li gains some of the characteristics of the Star God...

Both of these could make Chen Li a being similar to a Star God Envoy, but not an Envoy.

That is to say...

"So, you forged this wondrous artifact, and the God of Balance not only didn't want to kill you, but also rewarded you with the authority of a Balance Envoy?" The Great Black Tower didn't understand, but it was greatly shocked.

True tipping

Those who can withstand the pressure will be rewarded; those who cannot will be punished.

"Balance exists between all things." That sticky whisper rang in Chen Li's ears again.

“I am maintaining the equilibrium, and you are disrupting the equilibrium, which is also a kind of equilibrium.”

"Although your actions have repeatedly disrupted the balance, I observe that you are still striving to curb the disorder, hoping to guide the world toward good and avert its destruction. Therefore, let us observe your extreme."

The first sentence proved his identity, the second sentence answered Chen Li's "question", and the third sentence explained his purpose.

"Wait a minute? What does He mean?" When Chen Li heard the Balance Star God fall silent after saying those three sentences, he was even more confused about what the Balance Star God was going to do.

In layman's terms: Although your actions have been disrupting the balance, I can see that you are also trying to curb further imbalances and guide the universe in a positive direction, without being destroyed by the disruption of the balance. Let me see your limits then.

"???" Chen Li tilted his head.

Theoretically speaking, the God of Balance is right.

Chen Li's creation of wondrous artifacts was itself a disruption of the balance maintained by the Star God. However, Chen Li simply felt that this balance was not quite the same as the balance he had imagined, so he made a slight alteration.

The operating logic of the precursor to the Miracle System in the Wondrous Crafting Guide was to save the world.

After receiving the final gift, Chen Li was not asked to sacrifice himself to save the world, but at least he would not destroy it.

Therefore, when Chen Li was creating the artifacts, he had to consider both the effectiveness of the artifacts and the fact that their appearance would not cause chaos in the world and lead to its destruction.

Otherwise, if Chen Li creates the resurrection artifact and then uses memes to have everyone forward this link without any approval, approving all resurrection applications, the Honkai Impact 3rd world will be doomed in less than three years.

"But the problem is... I can't be a referee. Balance Star God, I can't live without you, Balance Star God... Can we talk about this again? Don't go!"

Chen Li wasn't joking when he said he highly respected the Balanced Star God; he was serious.

Because if the worlds the Miracle System had visited previously contained beings like the Balance Star God, it wouldn't have had to destroy countless worlds and become a world destroyer.

Chen Li had no intention of destroying the world; he simply wanted to pursue another kind of balance—that those who do good will be rewarded with blessings, and those who do evil will be punished by heaven.

To create more positive miracles without bringing the world to the brink of destruction.

"What do we do now?" Chen Li turned to look at the Great Black Tower.

"What do you mean?"

"I've become the Balance Controller, is that reasonable?"

"Hmm... Theoretically speaking, it doesn't make sense, but as an outsider, didn't you come to this world to break the rules?"

"When did I say I came into this world to break the rules? Didn't I come here to create miracles?"

“That’s right, the one who disrupted the balance became the Balance Envoy, isn’t that amazing?” The Great Black Tower clapped his hands and said directly.

"..."

"Alright, it's just a messenger, isn't it? Let's take a look at the specific effects of this strange artifact that could anger the God of Balance to the point of punching you. By the way, what's the name of this artifact?" Black Tower asked curiously.

“...[cute and whimpering].”

"What kind of weird name is that?"

198

Chapter 198 [Adorable Body], Activated!

"You mean this heart-shaped pendant, which looks like it's made of pink crystal, is an item with effects comparable to the Resurrection Match that can revive a Star God, a gourmet cell that even a Star God can eat, or a one-star wonder that can trap a Star God in a friend circle?" The Big Black Tower stroked his chin, looking at the pink pendant in Chen Li's hand in disbelief.

It looks nice, but I don't see any particularly amazing effects.

Although both the WeChat Moments posts and the revival competition seemed rather unremarkable...

“That’s right.” Chen Li nodded.

"Can this little thing be used to suppress the demonic spirit?"

“That’s right, and it’s not just the Demonic Yin Body.” Chen Li nodded.

【Cute Body】(One Star): Waaaaah, waaaah, waaaah, waaaah!

"How do you use this? Who should you use it on? What are the effects? What are the side effects?" The curious Black Tower kept asking questions.

“Well… how about we find an immortal being to conduct the experiment on the spot?” Chen Li said, glancing at the Great Black Tower.

"What... what do you want to do? Let me tell you, I'm not an immortal being, I can only reverse aging... Although I can live forever now, I don't have any psychological problems, nor do I have a demonic body." The large black tower, which was being targeted by Chen Li, subconsciously took a step back.

The Great Black Tower enjoys studying strange objects, but it is clearly unwilling to be the first person to have one used.

“Then… Ruan Mei?” Chen Li suggested.

"What? You actually dared to spout such nonsense in front of me, saying you'd use Ruan Mei for experiments. Don't you know she's my brother, my dearest friend, and my most beloved business partner?" The big black tower frowned.

“I can give you the wondrous object so that you may use it.”

"Deal." The Great Black Tower snapped its fingers immediately.

"Don't be so quick to refuse. After all, we're doing this for Ruan Mei's own good... Alright, never mind. You can invite Ruan Mei now." Chen Li, who hadn't expected the Great Black Tower to betray them so quickly, said.

"I'll invite you, I'll invite you." Daheita immediately picked up his WeChat Moments app and sent a message.

"Then I'll wait and see."

Although Jingliu, who is already on the verge of demonic possession, would be a more suitable test subject, according to the schedule, Jingliu should currently be with Baiheng, planning to go find Jingyuan and give him a big surprise...

Chen Li didn't want to betray Bai Heng's sincere feelings for Jing Yuan.

Although Chen Li felt more like he was being frightened.

Moreover, this wondrous item has extraordinary effects on immortal beings; it can cure diseases for the sick and prevent diseases for the healthy.

You won't lose out, you won't be cheated!

After receiving the message from the Great Black Pagoda, Ruan Mei quickly used her WeChat Moments device to send the message to the vicinity of the Great Black Pagoda.

Although Ruan Mei had already used teleportation once today, exhausting all her chat history, the Great Black Tower specially provided Ruan Mei with a few star stones as a teleportation fee.

"I never expected that among the people I know, the most recent one to become a Commander would be you, and even a Balance Commander?" Ruan Mei cast a surprised look at Chen Li as soon as she appeared.

Chen Li, who owns all the WeChat Moments, can clearly see that the reason the Great Black Tower invited Ruan Mei to the Black Tower Space Station is: Chen Li, the one who disrupted the balance, actually became the Balance Envoy because of disrupting the balance. Let's investigate him together!

"The God of Balance maintains balance, while I disrupt it. Isn't that also a kind of balance? Moreover, my goal is similar to that of the God of Balance—to maintain the operation of the universe. He doesn't want the universe to be destroyed, and neither do I." Chen Li shrugged.

Chen Li didn't want to needlessly add another point to his record of destroying the world.

“Then let’s begin the study.” Nguyen Mai nodded toward the Great Black Pagoda.

Ruan Mei believes that Chen Li, the balance envoy, is indeed of great research value.

Moreover, witnessing friends become Balance Envoys and collect data related to the Balance Star God is indeed beneficial to the research and development of the simulated universe project.

"Then let's begin the research." The Great Black Tower nodded to Chen Li.

"Let's begin the study." Chen Li nodded to Ruan Mei and then handed the pink heart-shaped ornament to the Big Black Tower.

"How am I supposed to use this thing?" Only after he got his hands on the strange object did the Great Black Tower remember this question.

“Shout out these three words... No, these three words can neither be spoken nor written.” Chen Li suddenly felt a little confused.

Because once Chen Li utters these three words, the artifact will be activated, and it will not be considered that the Great Black Tower has used the artifact.

"What three words? What are you talking about?" Ruan Mei looked at Chen Li and Da Heita, sensing that something was amiss.

“Repeat the first character of ‘cherry blossom’ three times.” Chen Li did not explain to Ruan Mei, but said to the Black Tower.

"Waaah?" The big black tower tilted its head.

As the Great Black Pagoda uttered those three words, the heart-shaped pendant in his hand suddenly shone brightly, as if a bright yet gentle sun was rising in his hand.
