The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

Game Item (Rare): Unbound

PS: As we all know, the Stigmata War is conducted in secret!

[Stigmata], [Game], [Rules], [War].

Chen Li used these four terms to create this wondrous object that cost forty crystals.

Using Poké Balls to defeat Honkai Beasts doesn't mean you've truly defeated the Honkai; you've actually defeated the Honkai by using them to your advantage!

Holding the card in his hand, which made a crisp sound when lightly flicked and represented the game "Holy Wars," Chen Li walked towards the Cocoon of the End.

Following the small opening that Mebius had deliberately left after performing surgery on the Cocoon of the End, Chen Li tried to insert the card into the Cocoon of the End.

[Server: Binding in progress]

[Energy Station: In Progress]

[Artificial Intelligence: In Progress]

[Prize: Being linked]

[Game Rules: To be edited]

[Game Item (Rare): Unbound]

"Hmm~" The Cocoon of the End once again emitted a light and melodious sound.

The cocoon of the end is resisting!

"What strange things is it saying?" Chen Li turned to look at the translator, Alicia.

Chen Li couldn't understand a word the Cocoon of the End said.

Why was Alicia able to understand?

According to Alicia's explanation—this is the privilege of a beautiful female Herrscher!

"The Cocoon of the End seems to be saying: Child, I cannot be your server, your energy station, your artificial intelligence, and finally be used as a prize!" Alicia said seriously after listening carefully.

"Why not? I don't care! Get in!" Chen Li slammed his fist into the card that was halfway into the cocoon of the end.

Since it's a game, it needs servers, energy sources, and prizes. Besides, we can't expect Chen Li to be in charge of reviewing and distributing Holy Marks, can we? Chen Li can't even handle all the resurrection cards he has to approve.

Therefore, Chen Li could not think of any other choice besides the Cocoon of the End.

As Chen Li unleashed the brute force he gained after devouring the world, the violent power poured onto the Cocoon of the End, and the card representing the game's core was instantly injected into the Cocoon of the End.

Even the Cocoon of the End was knocked back dozens of meters by Chen Li.

The entire space shook violently in an instant.

Chen Li's efforts were not in vain; all four options—server, energy station, artificial intelligence, and prizes—showed that the binding was complete.

That's right, the Cocoon of the End is still a prize.

"Speaking of which, what happened to the previous civilization after you inserted the card into the Cocoon of the End?" Alicia asked.

Alicia remembered that the cocoon of the end of the previous civilization and the current civilization were no longer the same cocoon of the end after Chen Li severed the river of time.

"Don't worry, this artifact can be copied." Another card identical to the one inserted into the Cocoon of the End appeared in Chen Li's hand.

"Same as the revival round?"

“They’re different. The revival tournament shares a link, while this artifact shares the rules. The game itself is the core, and game cartridges can be copied infinitely. But this artifact is meaningless on its own; it needs to be used in conjunction with other artifacts, like a Poké Ball. The rules of the game will change depending on the artifact it’s bound to.” Chen Li said, taking out a Poké Ball.

Because this rare item cannot be used alone, Chen Li only needs to spend 40 crystals to complete its creation.

This is because the strength of this artifact is not determined by itself, but by the artifact it is bound to.

Just like the "one" in a three-of-a-kind with one extra card in Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).

The value of the card "[1]" is not important; what matters is the value of the other three cards.

"Having parasitized the sun for billions of years, you never thought you'd be parasitized by someone else, did you?" Chen Li's hand landed on the cocoon of the end.

The cool touch made Chen Li feel happy.

You little brat, you've finally met your match?

"No~"

"Alright, no need to translate what the Cocoon of the End is saying. Anyway, once I finish editing the game rules, the Cocoon of the End will eventually be adjusted to the way I want it." This time, Chen Li didn't ask Alicia.

"That sounds a little strange..."

"Never mind all that nonsense. Kevin made a promise on the burnt-out earth that no matter the cost, humanity will defeat the Honkai! Kevin was even willing to debut as an idol to defeat the Honkai, so why can't I humble myself and train the Cocoon of the End?" Chen Li looked like he was going to his death.

"???" Kevin was bewildered, not knowing why the topic had suddenly turned to him.

Kevin glanced at Sakura, who was wiping the Jizo shrine next to him, with a mascot floating in the air beside her, calling her "Big Sister" repeatedly, and fell into deep thought again.

"Alright everyone, our camping time is over for today. I'm going to start editing the game rules. After inserting the game cards that symbolize the game rules and binding them to the Cocoon of the End, changing the rules will change the Cocoon of the End, so there might be some big commotion in a bit. For your safety and to avoid wasting your friendship and bonds, you should all go back first," Chen Li said to everyone.

Editing the game rules is like editing the final cocoon, which will bring about a massive change in the rules, a massive change in the world, and a massive change in worldviews. Staying here is not safe.

"Sigh, is today's party over already? I haven't even seen Nguyen Mai play the ruan like a guitar yet."

"Child, that doesn't sound nice."

"Okay, let's go."

"That Jingliu looks like he could play the erhu, but he doesn't seem interested in playing it. It's a real pity."

As he watched his fellow group members leave one by one, Chen Li turned his gaze back to the Cocoon of the End.

"Alright, all the irrelevant people have left. It's time to enjoy the delicious food."

"Don't worry, I know you're the server, the energy station, the prize giver, and you're in charge of distributing the Holy Marks. It sounds like your job is really tedious, but why can't you add another job as a gourmet? I'll just eat a little bit at a time."

"Um, Cocoon of the End, wait a moment... Great Black Tower, what's wrong?" Chen Li looked at the projection of the Great Black Tower that was walking towards him.

"While you're editing the rules of the Cocoon of the End, first lift the curse from me. Here, this is the food I'm going to feed you. Open your mouth." The Great Black Tower held a pastry that looked quite like the style of Nguyen Mai and brought it to Chen Li's mouth.

"Is this your decision, or your decision... Never mind, forget I said anything." Suddenly realizing that projections and aids were not clones, Chen Li accepted the Great Black Tower's suggestion.

"But in the battle for the world's best hat, are you finally going to admit defeat?"

"No, of course it's not admitting defeat, but I have more important things to do later." After seeing Chen Li eat the pastry, Daheita shook his head.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if we temporarily admit defeat to the world.

"What's more important?"

"It's a secret. Oh, by the way. Do you have any extra artifacts that aren't bound to anyone else? I'd like to borrow them for a day."

Although he didn't understand, Chen Li respected the actions of the Great Black Tower, so he took out the [Pale Justice] that he hadn't used for a long time.

【Pale Justice】is indeed a good thing, a friend to beginners, but Chen Li is no longer a beginner.

"Ruan Mei, come here for a moment. Sign a friendship contract with Chen Li." The Great Black Tower turned its head and called out to Ruan Mei, whose true form had appeared here.

"Ok?"

"This is very important. Would I ever harm you?"

Trusting the Great Black Tower, Nguyen Mai walked this way...

I swallowed the final gulp; my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens!

After receiving the attribute points from tasting the Cocoon of the End, Chen Li used his administrator privileges to forcibly open the Cocoon of the End's closed opening and then stepped inside.

Next, Chen Li will begin editing the rules of the game for the solar system controlled by the Cocoon of the End.

......

All the group members who had returned to the real world looked up at the sky at the same time. There, countless numbers, like code, covered the entire world and disappeared in a flash.

The rules of the world seem to have been transformed into some kind of program, and are being arbitrarily edited.

[Ding! The large-scale realistic game "Earth Online" is undergoing a version update...]

[The expansion pack, "The Journey of Fire," is coming to an end. Please remain calm.]

The major expansion pack, "Honkai Impact 3rd: The War of the Collapsed," is about to begin.

The new expansion will bring new gameplay. Players who have obtained the "Stigmata" in three days should go to Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, or World Serpent to collect the game item "Poké Ball" to capture Honkai Beasts that will randomly appear around the world.

Pressing "6" gives you a chance to get an insider code.

A sound of unknown origin reached the ears of all living beings in the world.

"6"

"6"

"6"

Throughout the world, and even within the Destiny headquarters where everyone was, people were shouting "six" everywhere, trying to obtain an internal number.

"...6."

"Huh?" The group members turned to look at Kiana.

"No, it wasn't me who said it, it was the Spring Spirit." Kiana quickly shook her head.

"So you got an inside number?" someone asked curiously.

"How could such a thing exist! It's obviously a scam!" someone said rationally.
