Their commission was suspicious.

Destination: The public lounge area of ​​Daydream Hotel.

“Oh, right, darling, I also prepared a gift for you,” said Huang Quan, the Envoy of Pleasure, just before they reached the public rest area.

"A gift? What gift?"

"A knife and a sword."

"Hmm?" Chen Luo asked, somewhat puzzled.

If it were a single sword, Chen Luo could guess that it might be the Guardian Edict Sword or a combination of 12 Guardian Edict Swords.

But what is a sword?

With these questions in mind, Chen Luo arrived at the public rest area.

Upon arriving at the public rest area, Chen Luo was immediately drawn to a particular corner.

Because only this corner contained a large number of items covered by various red cloths.

Beside these items, there were some figures that Chen Luo seemed to recognize guarding them.

It seems familiar, but it's not exactly the same.

Chen Luo now understands why Huang Quan wasn't too surprised when he saw Raiden Mei.

This also explains why Huang Quan was able to understand Welt's metaphor about Honkai Impact 3 so quickly in the original storyline.

Because they do have some similarities.

"My lord," a man who looked remarkably like the Grey Serpent from Honkai Impact 3rd called out in a mechanical voice.

Surrounding him were several men who looked exactly like him.

Damn it, the gray snake!

"How about that? Surprised?" Huang Quan, the Envoy of Pleasure, said to Chen Luo.

"...It's a bit unexpected, why him?" Chen Luo's expression was complicated.

Chen Luo was no stranger to the Grey Serpent, because he had made a deal with it in the Honkai Impact 3rd world, a deal with a huge impact.

However, under normal circumstances, the gray snake does not appear in a positive light.

Therefore, Chen Luo was quite surprised that Huang Quan, the Envoy of Pleasure, chose to bring the gray snake to Pinocchio.

“There are actually many people similar to those in the Honkai Impact 3rd world, but since most of the bar patrons are currently vacationing in Pinocchio, we didn’t invite them. It’s not that we’re worried that similar people will make them feel uncomfortable, but rather that we’re worried they won’t enjoy their trip,” said Huan Yu Huang Quan.

"I brought Gray Serpent along because he can do the work of many people; he has a lot of clones. As for safety, there's absolutely no need to worry." Huan Yu Huang Quan's words, discussing these matters in front of Gray Serpent, did not elicit any emotional response from him.

“Of course, that’s not important. What’s important is the gifts I’m carrying,” Huan Yu Huang Quan said, pointing to the items under the red cloth.

"What gifts? Are all these prepared for me?" Chen Luo could see that there seemed to be a lot of things under the red cloth.

"Of course. Who else would it be prepared for?"

"But……"

However, when Chen Luo looked at the saved ending, it seemed that Huan Yu Huang Quan had never mentioned his name.

"There are no 'buts'. Protect your eyes, or you might go blind." Huan Yu Huang Quan interrupted Chen Luo, then pinched a corner of the red cloth.

Chen Luo paid no attention to Huang Quan's words, so when the gift Huang Quan had prepared for him was revealed to him... Chen Luo was blinded by its brilliance.

"Ah, my eyes."

"Darling, I told you to protect your eyes." Huan Yu Huang Quan tenderly rubbed Chen Luo's eyes and then gently blew on them, seemingly very distressed.

...It would be even better if Huan Yu Huang Quan could put away the smug smile on his lips.

Chen Luo glanced at Huan Yu Huang Quan with annoyance before looking at the 12 swords in front of him.

12 swords to protect the world.

Protector's Decree Blade: True (Salvation Tool)

Protector's Decree Blade: Heaven (Salvation Tool)

Protector's Decree Blade: Cry (Salvation Tool)

……

12 protective swords, 12 tools for saving the world.

That's right, all 12 knives are tools for saving the world.

It was because the savior artifact shone brightly in Chen Luo's eyes that he was blinded by the light, while Huang Quan, standing next to him, was completely unaffected.

"No, you gave me all 12 Guardian Swords, what about Izumo?" Chen Luo asked.

"Izumo? Izumo no longer uses the Guardian Blade, my lord. Times have changed. Now, Izumo uses Star Destroyers to protect its homeland and save the world." Huan Yu Huang Quan waved his hand.

"Star Destroyer? Izumo can now be attacked by Star Destroyers?" Huang Quan, who was standing next to him, was somewhat shocked.

Huang Quan went back in time hundreds of times. Based on her understanding of Izumo, even if she successfully survived the ordeal at Takamagahara, she wouldn't be able to build something as advanced as a star destroyer, right?

Whether a civilization can become an interstellar civilization in the Starry Sky Railway world depends not on whether it can leave its home and fly into space, but on whether it will be lucky enough to be discovered by the Interstellar Peace Corporation.

Therefore, those who can reach interstellar space may not necessarily be able to develop interstellar spaceships, let alone something as outlandish as star destroyers.

"So many years have passed, your impression of Izumo is already ancient history. Although... before cooperating with Void Archives, Izumo really couldn't build a Star Destroyer."

"Cooperate with the Void Treasury?"

“Yes, is that so strange? He is the Envoy of Joy, and so am I. Moreover, I prophesied his arrival to the Star God of Joy. It’s normal for us to be connected, right? Besides… isn’t there my darling here?” Joyful Yellow Springs whispered as she leaned close to Chen Luo.

"Try to be normal." Chen Luo moved to the side.

"In short, the technology tree advanced by 99 rewinds was already very high, and the power of the Joyful Envoy can do many things that other civilizations cannot. Therefore, in the face of the fully developed New Izumo and me with the power of the Joyful Envoy, Takamagahara is just a dungeon that provides materials."

"Furthermore, after Void Treasury came to this world, with the help of the Star God of Joy, it arrived in Shin-Izumo and received a great deal of wealth from Shin-Izumo, which enabled it to establish the interstellar company's game division more quickly. After the two sides exchanged technology, Izumo's national strength became even stronger." Joyful Yellow Spring spoke of these things with great emotion.

"..." Chen Luo was somewhat surprised that Shinichimo could proceed so smoothly, but it also felt reasonable.

With the help of the Star God, if Izumo still can't develop this quickly, then all the attention from the Star God of Joy will have been wasted.

Because of the overlap in timelines, history has been slightly deviated from its original course, though the impact is not significant.

Its influence extends throughout the entire universe; this is the immense power of altering world lines.

This naturally includes the myriad treasures of the void that have traveled through time.

While Void Archives appears to be solely focused on gaming in the Starry Railway world, even as a sub-entity of the Void Archives after its transcendence, it possesses a vast amount of knowledge far exceeding the current development level of the Starry Railway world's civilization.

After all, Chen Luo's Imaginary Stigmata contains all the knowledge of all imaginary worlds.

However, the Void Archives does not carry knowledge of other real worlds, but only knowledge of the Starry Sky Railway world.

The reason it is so advanced is mainly because this knowledge comes from the Venerable Master of Broad Knowledge.

As a god of wisdom, if the knowledge of the Venerable One could be used to transform the world, it would be enough to advance existing technological means by more than a dozen generations.

The so-called Genius Club was not established because their findings were useful to Bo Shizun, but because they were able to "discover" findings that Bo Shizun already knew.

With the help of two star gods—Pleasure and Wisdom—Izumo's current national strength, while not comparable to a behemoth like the Interstellar Peace Corporation, should not be underestimated.

This was because Izumo was unable to communicate with the outside world in its early days, and was therefore limited by materials and funds.

However, perhaps due to the modification of the timeline, Izumo only revealed its true national strength a month ago, having previously maintained a low profile in its development.

It shook the entire galaxy for a whole month!

"That's the power of time," Chen Luo remarked.

"It's not over yet, don't rush to feel sentimental. I've given you the knife, but you still have the sword," Huan Yu Huang Quan reminded Chen Luo, patting him on the shoulder.

"besides?"

"Of course. These 12 swords alone are not worthy of the title of savior. Clang clang clang clang!" Joyful Underworld lifted the last curtain.

"A... ship model?" Chen Luo saw a one-meter-long spaceship model floating in the air.

“That’s right, this is the second gift I’m giving you, a sword—a Star Destroyer. This is just a model; the real one is parked outside Pinocchio.”

"This star destroyer embodies the pinnacle of Izumo's technological prowess, and with the blessing of the Star God's power, it is the most powerful star destroyer ever created. As for its power... given enough energy, it's enough to blast an entire star system apart!"

Star Destroyer... A galaxy is also a star, which makes sense.

"???"

"Such a dangerous thing, your family would allow you to leave it at their doorstep?"

Chen Luo did not doubt whether the Star God of Wisdom could research similar methods, or whether there was any technology of similar level in the world.

Instead, they were wondering how Void Treasury could possibly dare to hand over this technology to the other party.

"Laughable, as if they could refuse. If they agree, the Star Destroyer will just stay here. If they refuse, or even dare to fight back, then..." Joyful Yellow Springs' face showed an extremely excited expression.

"Bang!" Chen Luo smacked Huang Quan hard on the head.

"It hurts. Darling, what are you doing?" Huang Quan looked at Chen Luo with teary eyes.

"Stop fooling around."

"Tch. Okay, this star destroyer is indeed powerful enough to blast an entire star system, but the only problem is that it doesn't have enough energy, so it can only fire one shot and destroy one planet. Pinocchio can't afford to mess with Izumo and doesn't think he would do something so stupid. Plus, this star destroyer has stealth capabilities, so the family reluctantly agreed to the docking request. It's just that the docking fee is ridiculously expensive."

"Energy issue?"

"Hmm. This star destroyer is powered by a star core, but star cores aren't so easy to capture, are they?" Huan Yu Huang Quan complained.

The only star core was delivered to their door by themselves.

Our destination is Izumo.

“Aha still likes star cores so much…” Chen Luo’s expression was slightly strange.

Chen Luo didn't believe that this energy source had to be a star core, without Aha's involvement.

However, this timeline overlay did not actually affect any other people or gods besides Izumo.

This is also the basic rule for world line coverage.

Before returning to the present, the saved world would be hindered if it wanted to do anything too disruptive to other worlds.

However, the bottom line for such obstacles is quite flexible.

You can push your own civilization to the limit in terms of technology, but you can't let it affect other planets and civilizations.

Conversely, even if you don't advance your technology, you'll still suffer if you impact other planets.

A stroke of luck can minimize your impact on other civilizations and the world.

This is the corrective force from the world.

That's why Izumo only started to officially emerge in this world a month ago.

Because a month ago was the time when Chen Luo came into this world.

One of the fundamental principles of the ability to rewind is that the present world should not be destroyed in the process of saving the past.

Well, except for Takamagahara.

As for the impact of the worldline coverage on Chen Luo himself... well, it had no effect.

Ex and talent are unique, so no matter how the world covers them now, Chen Luo's physical sensations should be prioritized and Chen Luo's physical sensations should be the main focus.

Izumo can develop, but it must develop outside of Chen Luo's sight.

In addition, Chen Luo had only been to three places: Black Tower Space Station, Yalilo, and Immortal Boat.

Therefore, Chen Luo was completely unaffected.

"If you ask me, the only pity is that Huan Yu Huang Quan didn't become a member of the Genius Club. It's such a shame. The technological achievements that Huan Yu Huang Quan brought out are far beyond the average level of the Genius Club members," Aha complained, appearing beside Chen Luo at some point.

Aha was still bothered by the fun of having his creation join the genius club.

"You said it yourself, it's about taking it out, not researching it. Do you think the Star God of Wisdom is so easily fooled?" Chen Luo said.

"So it's a pity. Or... if we can't make the Masked Fool a member of the Genius Club, then let the Genius Club members become the Masked Fool?" Aha suddenly had another idea.

"What's with this 'Kiana, the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny' theory?"

Since Kiana can't be the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, then let Kiana become the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal. Very good, that makes perfect sense.

“Although Huang Quan, you hold a high position in Izumo, is it really appropriate to just give me the 12 Guardian Blades and this Star Destroyer? Won’t it affect your status?” Chen Luo asked.

“Darling, is this your way of showing concern for me? I’m so happy… But don’t worry, in Izumo, I am the savior, I am the prophet, I am the sage, and my decisions represent the entire Izumo,” Yomi Yomi said confidently.

"No reason needed at all? That's quite impressive."
