The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

"Alright, let's consider the idea of ​​going to interstellar space as just a pie in the sky for now, and see what other rules we have."

"Rule Two: Obtain three Stigmata to qualify for the Honkai Impact 3rd Global League. After becoming the global champion, you will receive one limited wish. The prize will be provided by the Cocoon of the End."

"The Cocoon of the End? Is that reliable?" some people questioned.

"Don't worry, Honkai is omnipotent. And even if someone isn't interested in the End, they'll still be interested in the revival card, right? The champion can choose between making a wish to the Cocoon of the End and obtaining a revival card link as a reward. And if the situation is special, the other party can choose to have both," Chen Li said.

Of course, it is up to Chen Li to determine whether the situation is special.

"Alright, now no one can refuse." Everyone couldn't help but nod.

Obtaining a resurrection card link means you can produce countless resurrection cards.

Which cadre could resist such temptation?

"Wait, what if someone made a wish to the Cocoon of the End to become a Herrscher?" someone asked.

"It's impossible. Because all the Herrscher slots have already been filled."

"What do you mean?"

"Uh... I used the artifact Eye of the Thorn to fix the order of Herrscher appearances in the previous civilization. And when I was integrating the game rules in the Cocoon of the End, I also moved the scope of this artifact to the back... which means that the order of Herrscher appearances and even the candidates in the current civilization are already fixed."

Chen Li only discovered that he could move the nail after entering the Cocoon of the End.

"However, you can't become other Herrschers, but you can wish to become one of the thousand Herrschers. Each of the thousand Herrschers in the previous civilization possessed a weakened version of the abilities of other Herrschers. It would be a bit difficult to ask the Cocoon of the End to replicate the core of a normal Herrscher as a reward, but replicating the core of the thousand Herrschers in the previous civilization is no problem at all."

"Sounds...not bad."

"Rule 3: Starting from the end of the game update, all Honkai Beasts will become neutral creatures. Once captured, they will develop initial intelligence, which will gradually increase with their interaction with their trainers. Wild Honkai Beasts also have a very low probability of gaining intelligence. Trainers who capture Honkai Beasts will own them, but cruelty and mistreatment of Honkai Beasts is prohibited."

"Oh no, now Honkai Beasts really are protected animals."

"This is also to prevent a tragedy. Unhappy Honkai Beasts can kill those wild Honkai Beasts that lack intelligence," Chen Li said, shrugging.

Are there any other rules?

"That's all for now. However, it's currently in beta testing, so the rules may be changed or added later. Once the basic game rule framework is complete, adding new rules won't be as troublesome as it is now," Chen Li said.

“If that’s the case… then I suggest we wait until the current civilization’s closed beta test is over before deciding on the rules for the previous civilization. At least wait a few days to observe the situation and summarize our experience,” Ruan Mei suddenly said, appearing out of nowhere.

“That works. But if that’s the case, I’ll have to borrow Durandal.” Chen Li looked at Durandal.

Although Chen Li was startled when he saw Ruan Mei due to psychological factors, Ruan Mei's advice was still quite reasonable.

"Ok?"

"I'd like to forge a rare artifact for you, or temporarily allocate one to you, and then, when you summon it as a friend, help clean up the Honkai Beasts of the previous civilization. You can name your reward," Chen Li said.

The advantage of projection is that it can work together with the main body.

Durandal's projection is responsible for dealing with the Honkai Beasts of the previous civilization, while Durandal's original body remains in the current civilization to maintain order.

“No problem. Let’s settle the payment with Star Stones.” Durandal nodded.

"Kevin, you're not getting away either. I need to use your projector too."

"Understood." Kevin nodded coldly.

“I can help too,” Sue said.

“Me too…” Fu Hua raised her hand.

"Then I'll just throw another 10 crystals into the recycling bin and see what kind of strange items I can randomly produce," Chen Li nodded.

With Durandal and these old fogies from the previous civilization as helpers, why worry about the collapse and chaos caused by the previous civilization?

"By the way, besides the rules of the Holy War game, I've adjusted the Poké Ball crafting template. For example, it can't capture highly intelligent creatures like humans. Also, trainers can't participate in the Pokémon Global League," Chen Li said.

"Can't the trainers participate?" Kiana asked, somewhat disappointed.

"Wake up, I'm doing this for your own good. Otherwise, how could you beat Kevin?" Chen Li smiled and patted Kiana's head.

Besides, if trainers can participate, what kind of Pokémon League would it be?

Let's call it Honkai Brawl.

"I feel like I'm pretty good at fighting too..."

"What's the point of having a trainer who can fight if you're participating in the Honkai Impact 3rd League? Besides, have you forgotten that the Herrscher of the Void's companion Honkai Beast, Benares, is still frozen in Siberia?" Chen Li reminded him.

"Bella? Isn't she with Sirin?"

"That's Bella's soul and wisdom. Her true form is still in Siberia. If you believe in your luck, hurry up and fly to Siberia, take a Poké Ball and try to catch it. Be careful someone doesn't steal your things."

"No one can take what's mine!" Kiana's eyes instantly gleamed with golden light.

“Calm down. I’m repairing your Herrscher core. Once it’s finished, Benares should come to you on his own,” Ruan Mei said as she walked to Kiana’s side.

"Oh, that's right."

"The Herrscher of the Void awakens... Grey Serpent, World Serpent has a cadre named Raven, right?" Chen Li suddenly looked to the side.

"Yes."

“She probably hasn’t bought a villa on the island… Never mind, she probably hasn’t saved enough money yet.” Chen Li realized he had asked too soon.

In the original storyline, Raven's villa island, which she had saved up for many years to buy, was flooded by the tide caused by Kiana's reawakening as the Herrscher of the Void. It is said that Raven cried and made a scene when she heard the news.

But if we repair the Herrscher of the Void's core sooner, the islands they buy in the future won't be flooded, right?

At least the raven wouldn't be foolish enough to buy a small island that's already been submerged.

We averted another tragedy today.

As expected of me!

Gray Serpent didn't know what Chen Li wanted to ask, but since Chen Li said "never mind," he didn't discuss the matter of giving all World Serpent cadres a large bonus yesterday to celebrate the perfect conclusion of the Stigmata Project.

Sigh, you're saying the Stigmata Project wasn't implemented?

Shouldn't we celebrate even more?

"To prevent any mishaps during the repair of the Herrscher core, let's find an island as the repair location," Ruan Mei said to Kiana.

“No problem.” Kiana nodded.

"Speaking of which, isn't helping Kiana repair the Herrscher of the Void's core part of the Great Black Tower's job?" Chen Li asked Ruan Mei, somewhat puzzled.

"She has other more important things to do."

Chen Li guessed that it probably referred to data analysis.

It must be, right?

"The weather is clear and sunny today, and we've all gathered together, let's go catch jellyfish... Chi You," Chen Li said to the group, looking at the rising sun.

Chen Li still hadn't forgotten his Chi You.

Chen Li's current rule for the Pokémon Global League is that trainers are not allowed to participate, but he did not say that Chi You is not allowed to participate!

“Chi You has been captured for you. It was Dahei Tower that paid 50 Star Stones to Yakumo Yukari to help capture it using a Poké Ball.” Ruan Mei said as she took out a red and white Poké Ball and handed it to Chen Li.

Although the Poké Balls won't be available for sale for another two days, Yakumo Yukari, as an insider, will obviously have access to internal channels.

"The Big Black Tower says this is compensation for you."

"..." Looking at the Poké Ball in his hand, Chen Li felt a mix of emotions.

"Compensation for what? Compensation for the Great Black Tower not doing anything excessive to Chen Li?" the Spring Spirit asked curiously.

"Wasn't Chen Li always inside the Cocoon of the End? It must be something he did in the past that caused him trouble, right?" Raiden Mei guessed.

Chen Li remained silent, only saying nothing.

The Great Black Tower truly deserves compensation.

"Speaking of which, have I forgotten something...?" Chen Li looked up at the sky.

The headquarters of the Heavenly Mandate is suspended high in the sky, where the weather is always clear and the rising sun can be seen at all times.

Hmm, wait a minute, the rising sun?

"Damn it, I was wondering why I felt like I'd forgotten something! I haven't collected the gift that fell from the sky today!" Chen Li's eyes widened.

Chen Li didn't even dare to think about what kind of chaos might occur if a world-destroying monster were to land in his home while he was away.

"The Great Black Tower says nothing fell from the sky at your house today," Ruan Mei suddenly said after glancing at her WeChat Moments.

"That's good... Wait, Big Black Tower? What's she doing in my house?" Chen Li's heart skipped a beat.

"That's the more important thing she has to do."

"..." Chen Li had a strange premonition.

The things the Great Black Tower needs to do in its own home...

What good thing could there be?

"No, I have to go home... Oh, right, let me introduce you. This is Prometheus 17, the artificial intelligence I picked out from the Cocoon of the End, responsible for the collective consciousness of humanity in the Honkai world and the operation of the Stigmata Game." Chen Li snapped his fingers, and a phantom appeared beside him.

While editing the Cocoon of the End, Chen Li discovered what appeared to be a backdoor within it, and inside that backdoor seemed to be a virus…

Then Chen Li casually used the Myriad Manifestations Judgment to pick it out from the cocoon of the end.

Chen Li originally planned to finish things here before trying to awaken the collective consciousness.
