Honkai Impact 3rd experience, starting with a thousand Herrschers

However, this is indeed a fake thing created using infection data. Of course, even if he wanted to, he could conjure up such a thing using the Herrscher of Reason's abilities.

"Perhaps I could try to give these data entities in Paradise their own bodies again. It's just a matter of structure, after all... But when it comes to biology, I'm afraid a certain cuckold wholesaler who has lived for 500 years is more skilled."

Cheng Xing chewed on watermelon while constantly making plans in his mind.

"Currently, the only surviving heroes in real life are Fu Hua and Kevin. Su has fallen into the Sea of ​​Quanta. Gretchen, the executor of Project Ark, is nowhere to be found. Doctor, I'm not even sure if her external body is truly dead; it's possible she's still alive. Alicia... this mysterious woman has never revealed any information to me. I don't even know how far in the future I'll meet her from the past, or even have my first meeting with her. Qian Jie, I wonder if this hot-tempered guy will agree to let me manipulate his body."

"Aponia... I can't figure out what this woman is thinking. Padofelis is just a poor cat, she shouldn't have any major problems. Sakura... after learning about Rin, I wonder if she'll fight with her former teammates? But now that Kotomaru is alive outside, if the two of them meet, they could become solid allies here. Eden, the brightest star of the former civilization, why was I completely indifferent to this aspect back then, and I don't even seem to know who he is? A chance to be resurrected is placed in front of me, I wonder if I would refuse. Kosmo... this guy talks too little, I have no idea about his personality. Velvi has multiple personalities that split off from herself, these personalities possess different skills and knowledge, hmm, why does she seem so similar to me? Moreover, I can also feel a strange malice in my heart, which is probably my negative emotions."

"These thirteen people all have some serious problems. It seems that the plan to revive Yingjie will have to remain on paper for the time being... By the way, I didn't watch much of the storyline where Raiden Mei enters Paradise, so I don't know what happened... Ah!"

At this moment, Cheng Xing seemed to suddenly remember something, and he pounded his head in frustration, saying, "Wasn't it in a parallel world in the future before? The experience there should be similar to this place. I should have asked! Oh dear, I was careless. I didn't remember this at all back then."

"Forget it, what's past is past. Now is not the time to dwell on these things. Let's go have a chat with the professor."

Cheng Xing wasn't too upset; it was just a small mistake and didn't matter much. Anyway, because of his existence, all the future plotlines had already been completely ruined.

He quickly arrived at where Möbius was, looking at the little green figure who seemed to be passing the time, looking at the documents in his hand and constantly adjusting the data, as if browsing something.

"Klein?"

Cheng Xing looked at the little figure and, in a daze, understood something. Then, looking at the doctor with a smile, he said, "It seems that you are also afraid of loneliness, Doctor."

"How could I be afraid of loneliness? It's just that Paradise lacks a proper maintenance worker, so I created this armed doll. As for the reason for its appearance, it's because Klein is the person I know best. Working together will naturally be more seamless."

Mebius smoothed his long hair and then spoke calmly.

"Sigh, are you still being stubborn?"

"So what brings you here? If not, don't disturb my research."

Mebius waved his hand dismissively, trying to shoo Cheng Xing away, but Klein could see that the doctor's hand holding the document had tightened its grip, and the paper document had been torn open.

"If you're clearly very reluctant to part with it, why are you pretending to be completely indifferent?"

"Klein, what are you talking about? I didn't..."

Mebius wanted to retort, but found that his hand had been grabbed by someone, and the document that had been torn open was now in that person's hands.

"Doctor, you're still the same as before."

"How could that be? I have already gone through countless changes and evolutions, and it is absolutely impossible for me to be the same as I was in the past."

"Then can you explain why you still weren't wearing your white lab coat properly during the experiment?"

"...You're so annoying!"

Klein calmly watched Möbius. Even though the Doctor seemed very agitated, she could tell from their years of friendship that he was happier than ever before.

Chapter 156: The True Trial

[Just say what you need to say quickly, I'm still recharging here, and I don't know what kind of boring scenario I'll be in for the next simulation.]

(You also think the current plot is boring, right? To be honest, the people above have told me that the current plot is too bland and they want to see some more exciting developments.)

[Want to see some dramatic plot twists? But my current host is practically a moral exemplar, steadfastly adhering to his principles. Unless we make him lose his memory or abilities, most scripts are just ordinary stories for him.]

(Oh dear, losing memories and abilities is a really bad thing for the plot. If it's written like that, I think the higher-ups will find it even more boring. Maybe if all else fails, they could go there.)

[Are you really asking me to send my host to their death? That place is one that even I, as a system, can't guarantee a perfect victory. The strongest beings in that world have already reached the multi-dimensional realm; I can't guarantee I'll escape unscathed.]

(Don't worry, as long as the script is interesting enough, and people don't want the story to end so quickly, all sorts of things will happen to make it perfect. After all, you don't want that one thing to happen either, right?)

[Tsk, I get it. Anyway, my host said before that he wanted to go, so I'll just go along with his wishes this time.]

After the exchange ended, the system seemed to sigh helplessly, and then immediately spoke to Cheng Xing.

[My dear host, due to your lackluster performance in these simulations and the heavy price paid in the last simulation, I'm afraid I'll have to send you to a world that won't be easy this time.]

As Cheng Xing was conjuring up some ingredients to try making some strange and unusual dishes, this sentence popped into his mind.

"Which world? You're not planning to put me in some fantasy web novel world, are you?"

[That's not quite right. Unless you're put in a floor level or something in between, I wouldn't dare go into a ceiling-level place. Anyway, the next world is the place you've always wanted to go to. I'm telling you beforehand, don't be too conspicuous about it.]

This was the first time Cheng Xing had ever seen the system warn him like this. Thinking about the place he wanted to go, he instantly understood where the next simulation would take him. His whole body stiffened, and a determined look appeared in his eyes.

Will I die?

[It's hard to say. If you offend the dominant consciousness of that place, you probably won't be able to escape unscathed.]

"In other words, this is not just a simple simulation, but a real time travel."

[Yes, a time-traveling story where death could truly mean death.]

"So what is my task?"

[Alive.]

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xing immediately felt an inexplicable pressure, as it was the first time he had encountered a task requiring him to survive in a simulation.

"I understand. When is the next simulation?"

[It'll probably be tomorrow, so go do anything you want to do, this might be your last trip... If you get a high score this time, there's a good chance you'll receive news about going home.]

"go home……"

Upon hearing this word, Cheng Xing's eyes immediately glazed over. He couldn't help but recall some past events, the confusion and loneliness he felt when he first came into this world, and the inexplicable pain he felt when he was wandering the world alone.

I recall my parents' appearance and voice, the house I lived in as a child, and the daily necessities I ate growing up.

That world of the past finally has a way back, or rather, a possibility.

Cheng Xing closed his eyes at this moment, having abandoned his previous leisurely attitude towards life, and instead picked up something he had long ago discarded.

That was a sense of crisis that arose when I first arrived in this world and learned that it was a cruel world called Honkai, a constant fear that I would die.

He had to rediscover that feeling, to transform himself from a high and mighty Lawyer into an ordinary person cautiously trying to survive.

Finally, with a calm smile on his face, he went to see his old friends and new friends in the paradise.

Furthermore, each of them stated that they might have the ability to enable their data entities to obtain real physical bodies and survive in the outside world, so they wanted to seek their opinions.

However, most people refused.

"Our era has long since ended, so why wander through this civilization like a lost soul? The only obsession we have left is to find a way to help the current civilization overcome the collapse and not repeat the same mistakes."

Su seemed to notice his friend's confusion, came to his side, patted him on the shoulder and said something.

"Although being resurrected from the dead might be very appealing, I think things are fine as they are now. Everyone is with me in this paradise, and I have people I know here... But the outside world feels like another world to me, it's so unfamiliar."

Padofelis gave a somewhat forced smile, then touched the can of food in her arms and said.

"I don't need your help."

After saying that, Kevin turned and left, though in fact he didn't need any help.

"Hmph, boring."

Qianjie seemed to have overheard something boring, so he snorted dismissively and left.

Most people in Paradise rejected him, and Cheng Xing didn't seem too surprised by this.

He stood there quietly, deep in thought.

"Although I do want to go out into the world, I no longer want your help. I will rely on my own methods... I will surpass the past."

Möbius no longer wanted to accept help from someone that felt like charity.

"Oh dear, you seem a bit confused. Would you like the lovely fairy to help you sort out your psychological issues?"

Alicia suddenly appeared out of nowhere and went to Cheng Xing's side.

Looking at Alicia's friendly smile, Cheng Xing asked, "Alicia, what do life and death mean to you?"

"Oh dear, you're asking such a philosophical question right off the bat? Still confused about what happened earlier, right? Actually, everyone in Paradise has already accepted the fact that they are dead. Even if you said you could be resurrected now, the outside world is no longer the world they know. So what's the point of being resurrected?"

"No... um, I understand."

Cheng Xing seemed to want to ask something else, but he stopped himself, nodded, and left.

"Have a safe journey!"

Alicia whispered after Cheng Xing left.

Chapter 157: The Collapsing Universe

As his consciousness gradually faded, Cheng Xing could clearly feel himself being enveloped in some kind of liquid, traversing through the boundless starry sky.

Then, I don't know how long this strange feeling lasted. Ahead, there seemed to be some huge barrier of liquid. It kept creating a kind of corrosive effect on the barrier, and then it broke open a small hole, and I slid in.

[I will be unable to speak with you until this simulation ends. I must now focus on confronting the consciousness of this world... Good luck, my host.]

Cheng Xing opened his eyes, his consciousness returned to his body's power, his keen senses flowed again within him, and he became familiar with the outside world, with its vast, ocean-like Honkai energy.

If the Honkai Impact 3rd world under normal circumstances has a Honkai energy reaction on a scale similar to that of a lake or river, then this place is as vast as an ocean and its magnitude is immeasurable.

Cheng Xing looked at this shattered world, at the obviously devastated ruins, where Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors roamed, though they all looked strangely shaped.

In particular, some of the assassins were dressed in penguin costumes and wandered the streets with blank expressions, creating a strangely comical atmosphere.

But when Cheng Xing saw the assassin who seemed like a joke, he took a deep breath and knew that he had reached the most difficult part.

"Make way for the people in front!"

Cheng Xing suddenly heard someone shout behind him and turned around to see a white-haired girl with double helix curls rushing towards him. She ran past him in no time.

A large group of various types of zombies and Honkai Beasts were charging towards the direction the girl was running from.

Just as Cheng Xing was about to use his abilities, he suddenly realized that the End was right beside him. If he used his abilities from outside the world so recklessly, wouldn't he be discovered?

So he took a deep breath, turned around, and quickly caught up with the girl in front of him, shouting, "What did you do?! Why are so many monsters chasing you?!"

"How should I know! I just wanted to collect some supplies, but I didn't expect these guys to chase me like they'd been attacked!"

The girl skillfully traversed the ruins, nimbly passing through obstacle after obstacle and scaling one collapsed rubble after another. Then, she looked at Cheng Xing beside her and asked without batting an eye, "I didn't expect that a man would survive. It seems you are a rare male adaptor."

"Now is not the time to introduce the world-building. Is there any way to keep chasing us like this? We'll be caught up sooner or later!"

Cheng Xing ducked to avoid the arrows fired by the archers behind him, and then asked.

“Go to Chiyu Academy… these guys wouldn’t dare go there.”

"...My intuition tells me that you are trying to take me to a more dangerous place."
