The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

“You don’t understand. If we don’t use this now, we won’t need it anymore.” Chen Li shook his head.

The reward for having the Wisdom Star God clean up the trash left over from the Robin's Concert is somewhat outdated.

Chen Li originally intended to use this reward to inspire the previous civilization's admiration for the fusion warriors, but later found it to be useless, because once Chen Li awakened the civilization's collective consciousness, he could change the entire civilization's preferences without this item.

Besides, since we know how to get this reward, why not just ask our good brother, the God of Wisdom, to help us clean up the junk when we need it?

Chen Li will pay.

"So let's strike while the iron is hot! And once the whole Earth has fallen in love with Houmu, we can make a fortune. Although the wave will eventually pass, by then the alliance name of Destiny, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent will have been set, and no one will dare to change it." After saying that, Chen Li crushed the reward that made everyone cheer.

"Alright, now do you think there's anything wrong with naming it Houmu Paradise or Houmu Kingdom?" Chen Li asked.

"no problem."

"I agree."

"You must have had a master come up with this name!"

Seeing that everyone agreed, Chen Li nodded in satisfaction.

Extracting the entry for "Golden Houmu King" (Miracle Card)...

Progress: 40% (Doing things related to Houmu as the Golden Houmu King increases the influence of the "Golden Houmu King" and can increase the progress)

Perhaps it was because Chen Li's character was so well-developed that he actually obtained clues to generate miracle cards, which is why Chen Li was so enthusiastic about this.

"Theresa, get ready. This afternoon is the alliance ceremony of the World Serpent, Destiny, and Anti-Entropy, and it is also the day you become the Archbishop of Destiny."

"What? So fast?"

"Soon? Half a day is enough for me to participate in the Second Honkai Impact, make a cameo appearance as the Golden Houmu in Sirin's dream, take a bite of the Herrscher of Thunder's core, catch up with Kevin, cut the River of Time, create a parallel world where the Second Honkai Impact didn't happen, and make Otto so angry he turns red-hot."

"..." by Theresa.

Your half-day has been quite fulfilling.

"And after I finish things here, I also need to work on modifying the Cocoon of the End and creating a world where Honkai energy can be properly utilized."

Did you just say something inappropriate without realizing it?

"The job of a craftsman is to create miracles. You don't think I came to this world just to collect the Divine Keys, do you? I'm here to save the world. I have a plan..." Chen Li explained the "Benkomon Project," which he planned to implement in the previous civilization, to everyone.

"I have a question. Why don't you experiment in the previous civilization first? That way, if something goes wrong in the previous civilization, it can be corrected in time, and we won't make the same mistake again in the current civilization," Kiana asked, raising her hand.

Kiana's question was also the question that everyone else listening to the "Pokémon Project" wanted to ask, but Kiana was just too straightforward and asked it without thinking.

Kiana only needs to ask questions, while the others have a lot to consider.

For example, if this question is raised, will other people from previous civilizations feel uncomfortable?

Or they might have thoughts like, "Those little brats from the future civilization are so despicable!"

"Kiana, you're so smart," Chen Li praised.

"I'm not that smart..." Kiana scratched her head sheepishly.

“But Mebius and Velvet thought the same thing. Let me experiment with the current civilization first, so that I won’t make the same mistake again with the previous civilization.”

Clearly, if Kiana could think of something, Mebius and Velvet could too.

"???"

"And then I agreed."

"!!!"

Those old fogies from a bygone civilization are truly despicable!

Chapter 236 Chen Li: Bronya, which Seele did you summon?! (11k "Bronya, don't be sad. Although your mother Cocolia was turned into a slime by me, you still have me.")

"Are you trying to provoke Bronya?" Bronya's question was phrased as a question, but her tone was full of certainty.

Bronya, who was casually kicked to death by Raiden Mei after Raiden Mei awakened as the Herrscher of the Void and defeated Cocolia, was also brought back by Raiden Mei.

Because of the Pleasure Dice, after being pierced by the Herrscher of Thunder's lightning, the Herrscher of Thunder not only conveniently released Cocolia's forced control mode in the biochip, but also did not cause her too much damage. So after a while, Bronya recovered.

But Bronya could do nothing. She could neither stop Cocolia from being turned into a slime by Chen Li, nor could she stop the Anti-Entropy conservatives from cooperating with Destiny and World Serpent to form an organization called Houmu Paradise.

Although Bronya quite liked the name "Houmu Paradise".

This once made Bronya think that Chen Li had great taste.

However, as a minor, the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance felt that there was no need to be too harsh on Bronya; the real problem was Cocolia.

As a part of the anti-entropy, Bronya was thus released.

“I won’t treat you like I treated Otto, like I would treat a Japanese person. I’m just stating a fact,” Chen Li said.

“Bronya accepted your provocation. But Bronya’s emotional circuits are burned out, so she may not be able to give you a satisfactory response,” Bronya said coldly.

Bronya participated in experiments at the X-10 laboratory to save Seele, who was quantumized after taking her place in the experiment. She suffered Honkai energy damage, resulting in a fractured thigh and 8% of her brain being destroyed. Her legs were completely destroyed by Honkai energy, and her emotional circuits in her brain were burned out...

"Hmm...Here you go." Chen Li stroked his chin and then handed a Senzu Bean to Bronya.

"This must be very precious, right? Are you just going to give it to Bronya like this?" Bronya hesitated, holding the beans in her hand.

Bronya was both suspicious of Chen Li's motives and worried that although the bean looked the same as the one Siegfried ate, it might actually be a different variety that would cause illness after consumption...

As a legendary figure in the assassin world—the Silver Wolf of the Urals—Bronya remains very vigilant.

"In China, even Einstein had to stand up and toast everyone at the banquet when asking for a favor. If you ask me for a favor, what's wrong with letting you eat a bean? Would I harm you?"

That's right, it wasn't Chen Li who approached Bronya, but rather Bronya who approached Chen Li.

Senzu beans aren't exactly precious to Chen Li... Whenever he needs more Senzu beans, he can just ask Haruhi Suzumiya to cultivate some, right? Haruhi Suzumiya is super useful.

Of course, they can't rely on Haruhi Suzumiya forever, so Mebius and Nguyen are cultivating Senzu Beans.

Moreover, Mebius seems to be combining the Senzu Bean with abundance, attempting to give the Senzu Bean the ability to cure diseases.

A bountiful destiny can heal even a mechanical puppet, so naturally it can also cure diseases.

The reason why Haruhi Suzumiya did not participate in this team building activity was mainly because Chen Li felt that it would be too unfair to have Haruhi Suzumiya appear before the Cocoon of the End personally took action.

We will never use Haruhi Suzumiya first unless the other side uses a nuclear weapon first!

Bronya thought Chen Li's words made sense, so she simply closed her eyes and ate the Senzu Bean.

"My leg..." Bronya touched her leg instinctively a moment after eating the Senzu Bean.

Because Bronya felt numb.

However, for Bronya, whose legs were damaged by Honkai energy, this feeling was already a very precious experience.

Normally, Bronya needs to use a prosthetic leg to walk or simply float with the help of the Heavy Bunny 19c...

"Your legs are so white, long, and smooth. What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Chen Li commented on Bronya's legs, following her words.

"...Would you like to touch it?" Bronya felt as if she could read Chen Li's mind.

As for the price of asking someone for a favor later, Bronya could accept being touched on the leg.

"Ahem, let's talk about this later... Now your emotional circuits are working fine, right?" Feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles, Chen Li chose to skip the topic.

Chen Li always felt that someone was watching him from behind, and he licked his knife while preparing to kill.

“I don’t know.” Bronya shook her head.

"Let's try again... Bronya, even though I turned your mother Cocolia into a slime, you still have me."

"...Perhaps the emotional circuits have been repaired." Bronya hesitated for a moment before saying.

"How are you so sure? Because you just felt very angry?"

“Not anger, just speechless,” Bronya answered honestly.

This was the second time Chen Li had said this to himself, and Bronya's feelings for Cocolia were already quite complicated.

Bronya was born after the Second Honkai Impact and was raised as a mercenary as an orphan. She was captured by Cocolia and taken back to the orphanage when she tried to assassinate her.

Cocolia enabled Bronya to meet Seele, so from that perspective, Bronya should thank Cocolia.

However, it is an indisputable fact that Cocolia's X-10 experiment on Seele led to Seele entering the quantum realm.

Besides, Cocolia isn't dead yet, is she?

She could even live for over 300 million years.

And Cocolia herself didn't say anything.

"..." This time, it was Chen Li's turn to be speechless.

Chen Li originally thought that after repairing Bronya's emotional circuits, she would be more fun to play with. But it turns out that he was the one being played.

"Alright, tell me why you came to see me."

“I long for a miracle,” Bronya said.

“Yes, I also yearn for miracles. I even yearn for power and Naiko.” Chen Li nodded.

Chen Li dreamt last night that he was buried under countless miracle crystals, so heavy that he couldn't breathe... When he woke up, he found that Little Black Tower was sitting on his chest.

Chen Li clearly remembered locking his door, but Xiao Heita said, "I think I can pick your door lock with a wire."
