My outrageous life in Honkai Impact 3

Otto appeared before Luo Chen, his purple tuxedo replaced by a white suit, and his long golden hair was tied up and trailed behind his head, exuding elegance.

"No need for small talk, you know I don't like talking to you."

Luo Chen said calmly, while Otto was secretly saddened, but on the surface he still had to maintain a smiling face.

"Alright then, since you're unwilling to talk to me, I'll have no choice but to do as you say."

Otto looked very sad and waved to Luo Chen, beckoning him to come with him.

Otto led Luo Chen to the place where the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle was stored. Looking at the huge locomotive, Luo Chen showed great interest in it.

"Why did you call me here? What kind of experiment do you want to conduct?"

Luo Chen withdrew his gaze. If he showed too much interest at this moment, he might be tricked by Otto later.

"No rush. Speaking of which, you were originally a member of Destiny. Let me show you around this town."

Otto left without saying a word, giving Luo Chen no chance to bargain. Luo Chen watched Otto leave, sighed heavily, and followed after him.

Otto led Luo Chen around most of Klosten, finally stopping in front of Schicksal's old headquarters. Luo Chen looked at the tall church and wondered what it would be like inside.

"Our sightseeing time is over; it's time to get down to business."

Otto turned around with a smile, which made Luo Chen feel like he had suddenly fallen ill. Having been tricked by Otto countless times, he was all too familiar with that smile; every time Otto tricked him, he would show that smile.

The two returned to the front of the Thousand Realms One Vehicle. Otto used the Void Treasury to construct a table and chairs for Luo Chen to sit down so they could talk slowly.

"You should already know about the Thousand Realms One Vehicle."

Otto looked at the huge locomotive. The Thousand Worlds Journey had been modified. The next step was to guide Luo Chen to do what he needed to do.

"I roughly know, but what does that have to do with me?"

"Yes, but not much."

Otto said calmly, raising his hand to construct a model of the Babylonian laboratory beside him, while his other hand gently tapped the table with his fingers.

"The Herrscher of the Void, Sirin, is that her name? Aren't you curious why she harbors such deep hatred for you?"

Luo Chen's gaze sharpened, and he vaguely guessed why Otto had summoned him. But putting aside why he would do such a thing, the Thousand Realms One Vehicle could only travel to the Imaginary Space and the Quantum Sea, but crossing time was not within its scope of business.

"Judging from your expression, you probably already know what I'm about to say. That's right, while the Thousand Realms One Vehicle doesn't have the ability to travel through time, it's a different story when combined with your powers."

"The Thousand Realms One Vehicle will find your anchor point, and then use you to activate the anchor point's power, so that time can be reversed on the Imaginary Tree, and the Thousand Realms One Vehicle will take you to the place you want to go."

Otto withdrew the model from the Babylonian laboratory, looked at Luo Chen who was deep in thought, and silently waited for him to sort things out.

What good would it do you if I went back in time?

"The original form of the Herrscher of the Void is far more powerful than its clone. If handled properly, it can be a great asset to humanity."

"I want to hear the truth."

"That's the truth."

Otto withdrew his smile, faced Luo Chen solemnly, and, abandoning his usual cunning demeanor, said earnestly, "I know you haven't believed a word I've said from beginning to end, but this time I'm telling the truth. Whether you believe it or not, this time I'm genuinely trying to help you."

Luo Chen was taken aback by Otto's sudden seriousness. After thinking about it carefully, he tentatively asked, "I have a question. In your era, could I have gone there?"

"Yes, but there are limitations."

Otto leaned back in his chair, seemingly accepting Luo Chen's opinion, so things would be easier from there.

“You are not free to go back to the past. Since your self does not belong to that timeline, as long as the use of Honkai energy exceeds a certain threshold, you will be judged as a heretic by the Imaginary Tree and then removed from the original world.”

"Does 'clear'... mean 'erasure'?"

"No, it's being banished to the imaginary space, and then returning to the original world on your own."

Otto nodded, stood up from his chair, and walked to Luo Chen's side to continue explaining, "One more thing: the longer you stay in the past, the greater the interference from the Imaginary Tree will be. In the end, it may directly kick you out of the original world and force you back to the original timeline. Moreover, the longer the timeline you return to, the more obvious this restriction will be. Friendly reminder: going back to 50,000 years ago is impossible."

Having said all this, Otto extended a hand, his shrewd smile returning: "Whether you do it or not is up to you; I will not force you to do anything."

Luo Chen hesitated for a second, then grasped Otto's hand. Feeling the warmth from his hand, his pupils dilated slightly, and he looked at Otto with disbelief.

"What? Are you surprised that I just switched back to my own body?"

Otto withdrew his hand. It's just a change of body, why is Luo Chen so surprised?

"Alright, tell me, what should I do?"

"Once you enter the Thousand Realms, find an LCD panel on the control panel, activate the Thousand Realms and input your Honkai energy into it. After that, you only need to sense the timeline reached by the Thousand Realms, and finally stop inputting Honkai energy."

Otto explained the method simply and clearly, leaving Luo Chen stunned. Could this really allow him to travel through time? He had his doubts.

"It's a waste of time to think about whether it's true or not here. I'm going up."

Luo Chen got up, walked past Otto, and stood in front of the Thousand Realms Train. After hesitating for a while, he finally decided to get on.

Upon entering the control room, Luo Chen immediately noticed the LCD panel in the center of the console, along with a button next to it, below which were the words "Simplified System" written in large characters.

Luo Chen pressed the button, and the Thousand Realms Journey started amidst a burst of noise. A very familiar voice came from the loudspeaker in the control room.

"The Thousand Realms One Journey Idiot System is activated! Please follow the instructions of this system step by step. Do not make any mistakes, or there will be serious consequences."

"Vilvi?"

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, surprised to hear her voice in the Thousand Realms One Journey.

Following the prompts, the various functions of the Thousand Realms Journey were gradually activated, and the Thousand Realms Journey was finally fully launched, awaiting Luo Chen's next move.

Luo Chen placed his hand on the LCD panel, inputting the Honkai energy from his body into it. He saw the instrument panel of the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle begin to change. He withdrew his hand, picked up the operating core next to him, and focused on dealing with what might happen next.

The train emitted a bright light, and just a few seconds later, the entire train flew into the sky, entered the spatial gate that appeared out of thin air, and disappeared into the present time with Luo Chen.

"This is finally over."

Otto watched the disappearing Thousand Worlds One Vehicle, and sat back down in his chair with a sigh of relief. When Luo Chen returned, he would have someone to rely on, just like before. Finally, he would no longer be planning everything alone.

Some unknown place

Two ethereal figures were in a starry sky, on opposite sides of a chessboard, engaged in a long-standing stalemate.

"Oh?"

One of them uttered a question, opened his eyes and looked into the distance, as if he had noticed something.

"Who could possibly reverse time? This is...!"

A fleeting look of shock crossed the man's usually placid face, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

"Chen...how could he..."

"Are the awakened ones of humanity surprised by this sudden change?"

The other illusory figure on Su's side chuckled, then said nonchalantly, "Your human best friend possesses power beyond any of your imagination."

Chapter 209 Snowfield, cabin, girl

The Siberian snowfields are deserted. Apart from Honkai Beasts, it is virtually impossible for any other creature to live in this extremely cold land, which makes it possible for Honkai Beasts to run rampant in this region.

Suddenly, a portal appeared in the azure sky. A train flew out of the portal, descended to the ground, and gradually slowed down, leaving a long trail in the snow before finally coming to a steady stop.

The train doors opened, and Luo Chen staggered off the train, plopped down on the snow, feeling dizzy.

"Finally landed, that was so shaky!"

After resting for a few minutes and the dizziness had completely subsided, Luo Chen got up from the snow and turned to look at Qianjie Yicheng with a puzzled expression.

"It's not good to leave this here, but I have nowhere else to put it."

"You forgot about imaginary space."

Black Dust's words reminded Luo Chen, but he had never used the power of the Herrscher of the Void before, and was it really safe to throw this thing into the Imaginary Space?

"Don't worry, you'll get it after a few more tries."

"That's fine."

Luo Chen activated his power over the Thousand Realms One Vehicle and successfully collected it on his first attempt, which made him feel a sense of pride.

"So, did we really go back to the past?"

Looking at the white snowfield, Luo Chen had seen a tall tower in the distance when he was still in the sky. It looked like Siberia, but he didn't know if the time was right.

"I don't know, why don't you ask someone?"

"Where did these people come from in this godforsaken place?"

Luo Chen looked around. There wasn't a single person, not even a house. All he saw were Honkai Beasts. Was he supposed to ask one for directions?

"Never mind, let's walk around a bit more. It seems like the second Honkai hasn't happened yet."

Luo Chen brushed the snow off his clothes, activated the armor's heating function, and headed in the opposite direction of the Babylonian Laboratory.

Suddenly, heavy snow began to fall from the sky. The swirling snowflakes not only obscured Luo Chen's vision but also made it difficult for him to move forward.

"This godforsaken place... I'm really fed up."

Luo Chen constructed a pair of goggles, activated the armor's heating function, and looked at the snow falling all around him, feeling speechless. Why was he so lucky?

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the snow gradually subsided, and Luo Chen was finally able to see the road ahead clearly.

"There seems to be a small town ahead."

Several black dots appeared in the distance, and upon closer inspection, they turned out to be several houses. Luo Chen sighed with relief that he had finally found the person and quickened his pace to get there.

Reaching the nearest house, Luo Chen peered through the window, but it seemed no one was inside.
