Is Kiana in Onphalos?

Normally, only the worlds Kiana has visited are recorded by the beacon. This means the world lines, time points, and synchronization rates she's traveled to are recorded. This ensures that she can go to the correct era the next time she visits.

However, if one travels directly without relying on previously recorded coordinates...

You will be randomly transported into the world of the work.

This makes perfect sense; Kiana could go to any world she has ever seen or that exists.

And it could go to any point in time, any timeline.

It could be the main storyline world, or it could be an event world line.

Even in a single world.

Because it is reality, various changes may occur.

It evolved into various parallel world-like processes.

This is all possible.

Kiana also knew that the first time she went there was like pioneering a new world. Only by going there could she record the world and become familiar with it the next time she went.

Because she has not yet been to any world, she has not recorded any coordinates. Therefore, once she uses the time travel function, it will inevitably be in a pioneering mode.

I don't know which world the next one will be.

Although a sliver of expectation will remain.

But precisely because she doesn't know or understand, she's unlikely to have even a sliver of enthusiasm because of whether she's familiar with or unfamiliar with that world, or whether she understands or doesn't understand it.

To actively go to that world or something...

Or maybe you can't wait, you really want to go...

Kiana naturally preferred to finish her own affairs first, or even put her own storyline on hold, before considering things like time travel.

Especially since this is her first time traveling through time, she might be a little more serious about it?

Is there a greater emphasis on user experience?

"You mean... items like Anna Shaniat's pendant, which seem quite ordinary and only have collectible value, can actually be linked to the time-travel module?"

Kiana thought thoughtfully.

The system replied, "Yes, Master."

This type of product is actually a consumable item. It's like a delightful surprise, a little Easter egg.

She told Kiana.

Kiana can also choose not to use her.

It should definitely be kept as a collectible.

However, it's not bad to use it if necessary.

Because if you've already been to a world, using it might lock you into a new parallel world.

If it's a place you've never been before, it can provide precise location information.

To know.

Kiana has seen quite a few works.

If any work, or even the slightest change in a detail, could create a new timeline.

Even with the same work, it is certainly not an easy task to pinpoint a familiar and relatable world.

The system can guarantee that Kiana only goes to worlds from works she has previously seen.

However, it cannot be guaranteed that those worlds are the ones she has seen, following the original plot development.

There will be various minor changes, which is perfectly normal.

While I wouldn't necessarily plunge headlong into the world of fan fiction or similar works, I feel that going into a world I don't like would be very upsetting.

With coordinates, things become much easier.

Precise screening, precise targeting.

Furthermore, the world provided by the system is over 90% similar to the original work in Kiana's memory, which also provides a guarantee.

Kiana also felt that if it were slightly different from the original, it might be more fun.

But sometimes, she also hopes that she can go to the world she is truly familiar with, like on a pilgrimage, to see, walk around, and get in touch with the people and things she is familiar with.

therefore.

Iconic items like Anna Shaniat's pendant.

So it is indeed useful.

In other words, even if Kiana goes to a variant of Honkai Impact 3rd, she can still use this product to anchor herself in a world that is more closely related to the original work.

"By the way..."

"Is this really not a fan-made world?"

Kiana propped her face up with one hand and continued holding the pendant in the other, swaying it slightly in front of her.

【Owner.】

The system answers.

Although various works of art, based on the original works, will give rise to all sorts of parallel worlds.

But at least those are real-world phenomena.

[Extracurricular works, such as those created through fan fiction or derivative works, often suffer from broken logic and self-contradictory elements, making it difficult for them to gain wider recognition.]

Kiana nodded slightly.

In other words, a timeline similar to the official Honkai Impact 3rd event timeline might indeed exist.

However, fan-made creations like the White Bug Tavern are basically baseless.

She didn't care why the works she had seen in her previous life extended into many possible world lines like a main axis.

but.

If possible!

She still felt that, compared to those chaotic worlds, she preferred the world she wanted to go to, one that better matched her own impressions.

The person must be someone you know well.

The object must be something you are familiar with.

If the discrepancy is too large, she might not remember it and wouldn't be able to find a corresponding basis in her mind. Perhaps she would feel a slight sense of disappointment.

Even if some timelines are better, she still longs to go to the original timeline. And then use her power to change the ending of the original story…

This was, after all, the world she had always dreamed of in her previous life.

She definitely prefers the original, authentic version of them.

"If we use 'traditional goods' as a benchmark, we're targeting works that are over 90% similar to the original. But are there any that are 100% identical?"

Kiana asked curiously.

【Master, this does not exist.】

The system replied, "After all, a work of art is a work of art, and the real world is the real world. The real world cannot possibly follow the rules of a work of art completely."

[To put it bluntly! These "beacon" products guide you to the world of the corresponding work, the one with the highest degree of similarity.]

[It can also be considered the most main branch of a whole river.]

Even other tributaries evolved from it.

she says.

Therefore, even if there are slight differences from the original work, they are only minor and insignificant.

This is the world of works that you are most familiar with.

Kiana nodded.

Understood.

In other words, if you use a product marked with a road sign, then you're going to get the most authentic one.

However, if it's random, we can set aside which world to go to and what time point. The most important thing is that the similarity level must also be random.

It's very likely that you'll stray into a strange and bizarre world.

Even if these worlds are not fan-created.

However, the original work extends into the main axis, and the main axis extends into these branches. Isn't this just like a re-creation world that naturally arises in reality?

Text: 117. Kiana is a little stubborn.

Kiana understands the diversity of the world.

That's understandable. In any world, different choices can lead to different paths.

but!

Now that we know the difference between the two.

We also learned the origins of both.

Kiana definitely wanted to go to the most important one!

After all, the one on the main axis is the closest to the works I used to like. It's the closest to the stories of those works in my memory.

Kiana, in fact, was more seeking that inner sense of being moved.

That was an emotion that she never forgot, even after reincarnation.

The closer she got to the work, the more she liked it.

So, the work extends from a main axis, the main axis extends into branches, and the branches extend into more branches, thus forming a vast world group in different dimensions and different regions.

Although it wasn't created based on fan-made works seen in a previous life.

But without a doubt, it is also a cluster formed by the natural extension and self-creation of the world.

Just like animals that reproduce and thrive.

The more backward a generation is, the rarer its bloodline may be.

Kiana has the options, so why doesn't she choose the very first generation?

Even though this world will still have some minor changes compared to the original work.

But at this point, these subtle changes are a pleasant surprise.

If too many changes are made.

On the contrary, it really becomes meaningless.

However, the system also said...

In fact, countless world lines are countless possibilities.

Some worlds are more powerful and more likely to support the birth of parallel worlds. These world lines would naturally be the actual worlds.

However, some worlds are relatively weak, or for other reasons, these world lines are actually just theories, a kind of virtual illusion. They do not actually exist, but are just different possibilities.

[From the system's perspective, during the journey, the world is randomly selected; any world is a world, and the system doesn't care.]

[Even a fictitious theoretical timeline, if the system randomly selects it, could potentially become reality and completely separate itself from the original world.]

The system explained simply.

Therefore, if you find the theory of countless world lines too complex, [this is not the case].

Thinking a little simpler is actually fine.

she says.

You could argue that the world line to which the beacon product is anchored is the true world line existing in the vast universe.

Other possible extensions might be parallel worlds that actually exist, or they might not exist at all, but the system can randomly select one, which is why you can go there.

Those fictional worlds will become reality because of your selection. If they become reality, then they will no longer be illusions, but truly parallel worlds, existing in reality.
