Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Log

"There is still a lack of trust between us."

"so..."

Having said that, Gu Jing looked at him with a playful expression, and the already obedient Guardian S immediately understood.

Then, feeling frustrated and helpless, he nodded, indicating that he would stay obediently in the containment room until then, but there was a time limit. If he behaved himself within six months, the organization would give him his freedom.

Mr. Gu readily agreed, and even jokingly reduced the time by three months, since keeping him locked up would consume food.

[Ruri Gokou: Pfft~ Wasting food is so realistic!]

[Hu Tao: But it makes sense. If this guy stays obedient, there's no point in keeping him locked up.]

[Paimon: I have a question. We were beaten when we first came to Earth. Can we say we are peace-loving? Cover your mouth and smile.jpg]

[Gu Jing: Why not? You need to think about it from a different perspective. If we hadn't known his identity from the beginning—he was an alien of unknown origin, clamoring to destroy the Earth—we would have been very kind not to kill him on the spot, right?]

[Xingbao: That's right! Diplomatic influence is won through force! The fact that he can still sit and talk to Brother Jing so calmly means everyone in the organization is a truly peace-loving and wonderful person! Doge.jpg]

[Keisha: So here's the question, what about Guardian S's staff, and which other Peace Stars? Will they need to be returned later?]

[Gu Jing: ??? Little Milka, you can't be serious! I've never seen these things before!]

Pfft~ People who were amused burst out laughing. This guy is like a Pixiu, once you're in his mouth, you can forget about him spitting it out!

*******

After leaving the Hive Base, Gu Jing followed his plan to integrate "Gensokyo" into the crossover anime world. His next big goal was, of course, "Honkai Impact 3rd".

However, before that, the final chapters of the Cocoon of the End need to be properly handled. In the story of Honkai Impact 3rd, the Cocoon of the End is a creation of an alien civilization.

In essence, the Cocoon of the End is a kind of black technology that has self-awareness but is rather rigid. On the narrative level, the Cocoon of the End is linked to the end of the Imaginary Tree, thereby controlling everything related to the Honkai!

With the support of imaginary energy, the Cocoon of the End also possesses the ability to manipulate fate and others!

This refers to the "threads of fate" that Aponia once mentioned; those controlled by it become puppets in a cocoon!

In addition, the Cocoon of the End can use the power of time to continuously reincarnate civilizations on the planet!

The fundamental purpose of this approach is to enable their creators, that is, the alien civilization, to have their own kind!

To put it more bluntly, as long as humanity cannot completely coexist with the Honkai, the energy of the Imaginary Number will continuously flow into the [Cocoon of the End], constantly catalyzing new Herrschers of the End, continuously wiping out civilizations, and activating the power of time to reset everything back to the beginning!

As for the Herrschers? All Herrschers are actually just a shadow of the End, able to grasp one of the abilities possessed by the End through the Herrscher Core, and the birth of each Herrscher is a "hug" of the Honkai to reality!

Long before it landed on the moon, the Cocoon of the End had already visited other planets in the solar system and had stayed there for at least 10 billion years!

For example, 10 billion years ago in the Earth calendar, Mars faced the threat of the end, and 2.5 million years ago, the civilization on Venus, the home planet of Sa, was also destroyed by the end, with Earth being the last stop!

[Yanfei: Good grief! This setup between the End and the Herrscher sounds a bit similar to Tenryu and His four shadows, doesn't it?]

[Yōmiya: Not only that! It seems the Demon Gods of our Teyvat continent are similar, right? The powers they possess also seem to be fragments of primordial power?]

[Silver Wolf: Excellent! Based on this evidence, we can solve the case! The justice system of your Teyvat continent must be a sentient cocoon of the end! (winking emoji)]

[Mebius: No, no, no, that's unlikely. A rigid operating model like the Cocoon of the End wouldn't be so gentle, even on the continent of Teyvat. But if it's something like Alicia, then it's very possible! Listen to that, a Demon God's lover—how familiar that premise is!]

[Alicia: Wow~ Mebius is getting to know me better and better, and is he praising me? How embarrassing~]

[Bronya: Based on the information currently available, Heavy Bunny judges that Dr. Mebius's viewpoint has a greater than 70% probability! The remaining 30% probability is that the laws of Teyvat and the Cocoon of the End may be similar yet different entities!]

[Lei Movie: Indeed, if that's the case, I can probably understand why the demons inherited the primordial will to protect humanity, and why the rules of Sky Isle are largely like the rigid operating mechanism of the Cocoon of the End! That's why in Teyvat, we see civilizations being supported only to be repeatedly destroyed by Sky Isle!]

[March 7th: But then again, why would a civilization that created the Cocoon of the End do something so cruel?]

[Dr. Mei: To be honest, I can't give an accurate answer to this question right now, but if I had to guess, I do have one (from Nuo Wang).]

If we must speak of it, it's true that civilizations that don't understand each other are more likely to develop hostility. But to be fair, such conflicts are naturally prone to arise between strangers. Since this self-destructive tendency can be considered the "original sin of intelligence," then... the fear of loneliness and the longing for one's own kind must also be universally present on a cosmic scale.

And deep within the cosmos, perhaps such beings exist. Like us, they are rooted in planets, dependent on them for survival. But unlike humans, they go a step further, becoming completely integrated with their planets. Their will pervades the earth, is omnipresent, and eternally enduring; there are no barriers between their hearts. If such a "civilization" truly exists, then it might deeply yearn to "embrace its own kind."

Everyone: "¨〃 .....｀ ˇ." The pretty girl was speechless.jpg

After carefully reading Dr. Mei's comments, people in front of the screen felt their heads buzzing and had a sense of awe and wonder.

PS: The picture shows Dr. Mei.

Chapter 444 Kiana: Why do I have to speak first? I'll just count to three, and we'll all speak together!

Dr. Mei's speculation is not without basis. In the story of Honkai Impact 3rd, Prometheus 17 used the back door opened by Paddo to hack into the interior of the Cocoon of the End with her own consciousness!

A shackle called 'Honkai Will' was placed on the Cocoon of the End, making the Herrschers of the current civilization consistent with those of the previous civilization!

The translation is like Honkai Impact being an exam for civilization, and the existence of the 'Honkai Will' makes the current students take the same exam as the previous students, which makes it easy for the current civilization to copy the answers!

However, as the Honkai Will, Prometheus 17 had already reached her limit by doing this, because the interior of the End Cocoon was a very large cluster consciousness, and Prometheus 17, who actively integrated into it, was only a part of the cluster consciousness. Her feeling of integrating into it was that she was completely integrated with the planet!

Or perhaps, the senses of the Cocoon of the End are like a mirror, reflecting everything in the real world. She can feel that her will is everywhere, omnipresent, and eternal, and that there is no barrier between their hearts!

Moreover, if you pay attention to the details, you will find that the technological creations of a civilization can usually reflect the characteristics of that civilization.

The genetic technology of the Super God Universe is a very apt example, which is why Dr. Mei made the guess just now:

Since the Cocoon of the End contains a massive collective consciousness, is the unknown civilization that created it also like that?

***960***.

The answer to this question is still unknown for now. However, the live stream explained the general situation of the "Cocoon of the End" and showed Gu, who had entered the world of "Honkai Impact," appearing in a magnificent cosmic space.

As you can see, this is an endless starry-colored platform, surrounded by shattered meteorites, and directly in front of you is a large, constantly swaying purple sphere.

The surface of this large purple sphere is covered with cracks, and there is a diamond-shaped opening in the center, which makes it look like its eye!

And it was the Cocoon of the End. With Gu's arrival, a pure white figure appeared in front of him. Judging from the outline alone, it looked very much like Kiana. Accompanied by an ethereal and obscure voice, it resounded in this space.

The people in front of the screen also understood His meaning through the connection of the diary copy: You're back, what do you plan to do this time?

This was clearly the tone and question one would use when seeing someone they knew well, but under the live stream camera, Gu Jing's expression was rather serious and earnest: "Logically speaking, I should greet you properly now."

"After all, back in this world before."

"I have also absorbed quite a lot of imaginary energy with your help."

"But what I'm about to do might not be good for you. Do you understand what I mean?"

A buzzing sound, both ethereal and enigmatic, rang out again, conveying an emotion that was a mixture of joy, doubt, and curiosity.

The diary copy once again served as a translator: Of course, I understand, but I'm curious, what do you want to do to me?

"Like the beginning of civilization."

"Lightning struck from the sky and ignited the trees."

"The flames that result from this."

"It brought endless crises to humanity at that time."

"It also taught a civilization that was still eating raw meat and drinking blood how to obtain cooked food."

"In modern society, people who have mastered direct current and alternating current have also made cities brightly lit."

"Your existence is to civilization what fire and electricity are to civilization."

"It is both a danger and an opportunity."

"And the danger you face outweighs the opportunity."

"If you just want civilization to learn how to control imaginary energy."

"I will not be here."

"But you must make civilization proceed according to your ideas."

"Destroy it if it doesn't fit your logic."

"So, as you can see—"

"I am coming."

Having clearly explained his reasons for coming here, Gu Jing stood still and waited quietly for the reply from [The Cocoon of the End].

After a moment of silence, the answer given by [The Cocoon of the End] was somewhat unexpected: I believe there is actually no disagreement between us. Although you are not the 'End' chosen by the 'Cocoon', you also possess the power of the 'End'. Therefore, for both of us, the way you embrace humanity is also the way the 'Cocoon' embraces humanity.

Upon hearing this, Gu's feigned serious expression finally relaxed. Looking at [The Cocoon of the End], he smiled and replied, "This answer is not unexpected. It seems that there is still a way forward between us."

"But some unpleasant things need to be said upfront."

"If you ever cause me any trouble..."

"Then don't blame me for being impolite!"

As he said this, he released a tiny bit of his aura, and visibly, the constantly shaking Cocoon of the End got stuck. After a long while, the noise that started again made people feel a little panicked.

After Gu Jing and the Cocoon of the End reached a consensus, the process of merging the two worlds became much simpler.

Thus, after the world merged, the official administrators were still the Shenzhou military, led by Lianfeng, Qilin, and others, while the Church of Destiny and the Moth Chasing Fire from the previous civilization were directly integrated into the organization and served as its backbone!

Having done all this, Gu arrived at St. Freya Academy immediately. In the dormitory building, in front of Theresa and the others, he put his arm around Himeko and said that such a happy occasion must be celebrated with a party tonight.

As expected, Kiana and the others, feeling ashamed and indignant, were about to punch someone on the spot, but in the process of fighting, someone took full advantage of them!

******

However, after dinner that evening, the pressure fell on Fu Hua's shoulders because Gu couldn't help but urge her, saying that his beloved little treasure was finally going to be born.

In an instant, everyone in the living room turned to look at them with gossipy eyes.

Fu Hua felt her cheeks burning from being stared at, so she got up to say goodbye and fled into her bedroom.

Pfft~ Chongchong, sitting opposite Gu Jing, laughed, attracting everyone's attention. When Theresa and the others looked at her, she smiled and tried to smooth things over: "The captain always likes to joke, but this joke might be a bit too much for the class monitor. In public, you're asking her to have your baby? That's really too exaggerated!"

Gu, who was given a sneer by her, shook his head with a smile: "You might not believe it, but I wasn't joking just now. And don't you all think that our Shibao is really lovable?"

Upon hearing this, Kiana, who was present, seriously recalled Shi Bao's performance in the story and burst out laughing.

Their eyes met, and the Spanish girl sitting next to Gu Jing asked her with a smile, "Idiot Kiana, what were you thinking about just now?"

The white caterpillar wiped its drool and tilted its chin up slightly, feigning arrogance: "Why should I speak first? I'll just count to three, and we'll all speak together!"

"it is good!"

"Okay, one, two, three!"

"Telecommunications fraud!" x2

They both blurted out what they had just thought of, and the two girls burst out laughing. Seeing the two laughing so happily, Theresa, Mei, Seele, Himeko and the others present couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh as well.
