The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

Of course, the final interpretation right of all the strange objects created by Chen Li belongs to Chen Li.

Chen Li can return these strange objects to the Universal Knowledge Library at any time.

The creation of this feature may also be due to the fact that the Miracle System was often entrusted to the wrong people in the past.

"Oh, so this is your first time traveling to another world." Alicia, who was continuing her conversation with Chen Li, nodded as if she understood.

"Ah."

"You answered my question so honestly, aren't you afraid I'll do something to you? Like locking you up and making you build strange things for me every day!" Alicia tried her best to put on a malicious smile.

"Even I don't know where I'll be when I open my eyes again, let alone you," Chen Li said casually.

According to the Oddity Forging Guide, the passive possibility of accidentally going abroad while walking may not have disappeared.

After being upgraded and strengthened by the Miracle System, Chen Li might even find himself walking into a world countless years in the past or countless years in the future.

"It's boring."

"Alright, Alicia, didn't you say you were going to take me back to the Firemoth? Where's your mode of transportation?" Chen Li asked after he had finished checking the materials.

"Sigh, didn't I tell you? My vehicle is hidden near the place where you fought the Herrscher of the Void," Alicia said, feigning surprise.

"...You didn't say that at all!"

"Oh dear, it seems they just forgot by accident."

"Then we'll have to go back the way we came."

"No need, the place where the Herrscher of the Void was defeated is just ahead."

"...So you admit it, you deliberately led me on a huge detour!"

"People are just curious why you fell from the sky. Besides, didn't you collect a lot of materials?"

"Cough cough..." Chen Li had no way to refute it.

Alicia really gave too much.

From this perspective, the Honkai Impact 3rd world truly lives up to its name as a "surprise" world, and it is indeed suitable for Chen Li to collect forging materials and obtain the power of miracles.

And this world truly is a world that needs miracles.

[The Herrscher of the Void's power model has been included. Current proficiency: 2%. Use is not recommended.]

The reminder from the Strange Item Forging Guide made Chen Li pay extra attention.

The reminder seemed to have popped up once during the fight, but Chen Li didn't dare to get distracted.

The Guide to Forging Rare Items hints that when Chen Li comes into close contact with individuals possessing abilities related to time, space, and destiny, he can analyze their abilities and temporarily use those abilities through star stones.

Crystals cannot be obtained out of thin air, but star stones can automatically regenerate over time, which is equivalent to Chen Li's magic power, so this makes perfect sense.

This might explain why "time travelers," with their top-tier time, space, and destiny attributes, can produce star stones—pure collections of time, space, and destiny-related energy—even though they lack any active abilities.

Originally, Chen Li didn't have this characteristic, probably because he had never transmigrated, and his transmigrator professional level was still 0.

"Watching others use their abilities will improve your proficiency. Practicing on your own will also improve it. I'll practice some more later. But practicing also requires Star Stones..."

The more Chen Li thought about it, the more he felt that the original intention of this characteristic might not have been to make him kill the other party, but to get along well with the other party.

"Tsk, where am I supposed to find a Herrscher of the Void who's both stupid and easily fooled? I guess I'll just have to practice on my own."

PS: Another 10,000 words to come. 1

Chapter 9: If a transmigrator doesn't create some interesting events, is he still a transmigrator?

Current balance:

Crystal (Miracle Crystal): 15

Star Stone (Spacetime Crystal): 100

After Chen Li personally killed the Herrscher of the Void, Chen Li obtained another 10 crystals.

Therefore, stealing kills is indeed very necessary.

Although the Silver Branch, as Chen Li's "wonderful summon," might have the same effect in killing the Herrscher of the Void, Chen Li didn't dare to gamble.

The result of this change—that "the Herrscher of the Void, who should have been killed by Alicia, ended up dying at Chen Li's hands"—is these 100 Star Stones.

As a time traveler, can you really call yourself a time traveler if you don't create something for the world?

The larger the task, the more star stones you will obtain.

This makes sense.

"Chen Li, are you really planning to donate the Herrscher of the Void's remains to the Firemoth?" Alicia asked as she drove.

"Mm." Chen Li nodded.

"The core of the Herrscher of the Void was also donated?"

"Mm." Chen Li nodded again.

“I thought you would keep the Herrscher Core for yourself. After all, didn’t you say that you could use anything as a forging material? And you even picked up the Honkai Crystal just now.” Alicia looked at Chen Li.

"Don't look at me, watch the road! You're already disregarding road safety rules by driving in high heels!" Chen Li quickly said.

"Don't be afraid. Even if the car overturns, I can jump out with you." Although she said that, Alicia did turn her head and look seriously at the road that had become somewhat damaged.

"There are countless roads, but safety is the most important. Reckless driving will bring tears to your loved ones' eyes!"

"Yes, yes, so can you answer my question now?" Alicia nodded, seemingly serious.

“Because… I am ultimately an outsider, and this Herrscher core can play a greater role if it remains in this world,” Chen Li said.

Chen Li is neither a saint nor a selfless person.

But Chen Li really didn't need to steal things that weren't essential.

The Herrscher Core is powerful, but then what?

If brought to Chen Li's world, can the Herrscher Core still be used? No.

Because spiritual energy and Honkai energy operate on completely different principles.

But rare items are acceptable, so rare items are the key point.

My father once said that the Herrscher core is not important; the artifact is what matters!

The attributes on the Herrscher of the Void were all transferred to the [Material Card] when she dropped a Material Card. Although Herrscher Cores can still be used to forge regular items like Divine Keys, it's not very useful for Chen Li.

The significance of material cards lies in the fact that you can extract some entries from them at any time, unlike other items that must be used up or preserved with Miracle Crystals after being put into Miracle Fire.

Unlike the Herrscher of the Void, who doesn't decay after losing her original abilities due to her material card, the Herrscher of the Void retains her original powers, but she can no longer extract her original abilities.

"For the sake of this world? Are all outsiders like you, who can travel to different worlds, this considerate?" Alicia seemed somewhat surprised.

"Thank you for the compliment. But the majority of outsiders are despicable. People like me who are law-abiding and neutral should be in the minority." Chen Li said somewhat uncertainly.

"I see."

"And Alicia, don't think too highly of me. My willingness to give the Herrscher of the Void's remains and Herrscher core to the Firemoth is also in order to obtain more resources from the Firemoth," Chen Li said.

For example, Soul Steel.

However, Chen Li wasn't sure if the Fire-Chasing Moths currently possessed Soul Steel, so he didn't say it aloud.

“Hmm, your constant denial of your own kind actions is even more interesting,” Alicia said with interest.

"..."

It has been said that only kind people, when deeply hurt, will pretend to be bad.

Bad people often disguise themselves as good people.

These statements are not entirely accurate, but they still contain some truth.

"Hey, Chen Li, why aren't you saying anything? Chat with me for a bit, otherwise I can't guarantee I won't fall asleep from boredom while driving," Alicia complained.

"Don't say such scary things with a joking face! What do you want to talk about?"

"It's just an interview to get a feel for your journey."

"Stop the interviews. If you do, I might just take the Herrscher of the Void for myself."

"Yes Yes Yes."

"..."

The presence of the Herrscher of Void is unimportant to Chen Li; what matters is ensuring that the world is free of the Herrscher of Void.

The second Divine Key, Thousand Realms One Ride, while not as powerful as other Divine Keys, is of great significance.

Taking away the core of the Second Herrscher could have consequences that could indirectly lead to the destruction of the world.

Chen Li, who orchestrated such a massive undertaking, naturally obtained an enormous amount of spacetime crystals (star stones).

On one hand, there is the temptation of instantly gaining huge benefits from disrupting spacetime and destroying the world; on the other hand, there is the patience to create miracles, spread miracles, and slowly reap the rewards.

However, Chen Li was not worried that he would not be able to resist, after all, Miracle Crystal was more precious than Star Stone.

Moreover, although Chen Li does have a wicked sense of humor at times, he has no interest in destroying the world.
