The Proud Phoenix Heroine Is Born!

On the contrary, getting lost is the main problem with the Chariot of a Thousand Worlds Vehicle. Getting lost is mainly due to randomly moving through space and not knowing where you are. However, returning is not difficult - as long as the holder does not accidentally delete their own coordinates.

So running around and getting lost is more like randomly placing teleportation points...

"Actually, if we take another step back, the Previous Era had relatively rudimentary space travel technology." Liu Bai stroked his chin, lost in thought. Well, it was so rudimentary that you'd have to leave it to Schicksal, but it definitely existed.

After a moment, Liu Bai looked at Kiana.

"T-Teacher? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Kiana felt a little guilty under the watchful gaze.

"Kiana, have you ever thought about becoming... uh, a navigator?" Liu Bai asked hesitantly. "I think this thing is really promising."

"Exactly, exactly." Himeko chimed in enthusiastically.

Himeko never gave up her dream of exploring the stars. Back then, she was just pushed by fate and, due to her youthful impetuosity and being a bit obsessed with her father's death, she became Valkyrie.

In reality, Himeko's talent on the Valkyrie path has already reached its limit. Unless she equips herself with a cheat code like the Godkiller Armor, her path will end here.

That's why Himeko decided to retire and switch to a clerical role—or rather, Himeko is finally ready to pursue her dream.

"... So, Himeko, did you think all along that Chariot of a Thousand Worlds could travel between stars?" Liu Bai finally realized something.

Himeko may not have come here to spy or join in the fun this time, but rather to confirm her own assumptions after learning some information.

"Of course!" Himeko rarely showed a girlish smile. "Although I can't experience the thrill of breaking through the atmosphere, as long as I can truly look down at the stars in the universe, the experience of just the atmosphere doesn't matter."

"Wow... this is such a welcome change of pace."

Liu Bai looked at Himeko with great satisfaction, then turned to Kiana was deep in thought.

"So, Kiana, have you made up your mind?"

"I... since it's Himeko- sensei's dream, then there's nothing I can do." Kiana shrugged first, then sighed helplessly. "Speaking of which, being a navigator... I don't expect to have to learn anything, do I?"

"Of course we need it."

Liu Bai gave Kiana a gentle smile.

"Tell Einstein and the others, as well as Mei, that each of them should set aside one to two hours each day to tutor Kiana. Also, you don't need to do the work of observing parallel worlds anymore; Himeko, you can take over."

OK~

Himeko agreed without the slightest hesitation.

At this stage, the most important thing is definitely to observe parallel worlds. As for the universe... it's more likely to be used as an emergency backup or a future goal for exploration after the Honkai.

Himeko can wait—if she can't, she can always get herself a Welwitschia.

"Understood," Otto nodded in agreement.

Kiana immediately put on a mournful face. "Wait, can I back out now?"

"Sure, as long as you can convince Sirin to learn." Liu Bai indicated that he was very open-minded. If you really think you can't learn, then you can bring out half of yourself. Anyway, we only need the Second Herrscher to learn, there's no rule about who it has to be—although Liu Bai thought Sirin wouldn't accept it.

A glimmer of hope immediately appeared in Kiana's eyes.

(Sirin! Sirin!)

(I'm dead, do not disturb.)

Sirin simply tossed Kiana a line: "Do you really think I can't see what you're doing?!"

You want me to take the blame for this? Is it fun for an idiot to lie to another idiot?

Even though agreeing might mean she could regain control of her body, Sirin had no desire to leave.

Anyway, she's not so obsessed with resurrection now. In fact, if it weren't for some obsessions and attachments, she would have already given up on herself.

Being force-fed 12 hours a day, Sirin felt she'd rather just die...

Kiana was nearly choked to death by Sirin's words.

"Teacher, isn't it going to kill you to study so much every day?" Kiana gave Liu Bai a fawning smile.

For Kiana, learning these things was more stressful than going into battle.

At least she won't mess up when fighting enemies, but when it comes to studying... as a slacker who always borrowed homework from Mei and Bronya to copy during her school years, she really doesn't have the confidence that she won't mess up when it comes to her brain.

"Hmm... alright, while maintaining your daily training, just schedule six hours of study time each day." Liu Bai wasn't a Devilmon, so after thinking for a moment, he agreed. "But I'll talk to your mom about it and have her keep an eye on you, so you don't disappear without a trace."

"Mom..." Kiana thought for a moment, "Instead of Mom, how about you, teacher, supervise my studies?"

Kiana felt she needed to be pampered by her mother these days, and all the maternal love she had been missing suddenly returned. Therefore, Kiana felt she didn't need to spend all day with her mother.

If we really get tired of each other, we can just kick our dad onto the sofa at night and sleep with our sister and mom.

So...

(I think I could try learning it too.)

Sirin suddenly came online again.

(I thought about it, and realized I can't let you suffer all the hardships. As the one who's been causing you so much pain, I should share some of your burdens.)

Kiana: "..."

"I don't think it will work." While Kiana was speechless for Sirin, Himeko directly refused, "I seriously doubt whether you can learn anything if Liu Bai is by your side."

You brat, get your act together! Back then, you were a perverted lesbian at St. Freya, and now you want to do something even more perverted?

"I second that." Otto nodded as well. "I think Cecilia is quite good. If necessary, we can have Kallen and Elinor keep an eye on you too."

Otto threw out two ancestors, Kiana's face immediately fell.

Okay, Kiana thinks that Kallen's ancestor was actually quite nice, approachable and without much of a generational gap, but those two lumps on her chest... Kiana said she could somewhat understand why Otto, that bastard, disliked her ancestor.

Otto can be blamed for everything, but Otto really can't be held responsible for this.

As for Elinor... Kiana also sees her as a good person, but she's too rigid and straightforward, exuding an aura of loyalty and reliability, much like her older sister. While she's a good comrade-in-arms, being an ancestor inevitably puts some pressure on Kiana.

To describe him, he would be something like a "stubborn old-fashioned grandfather."

"...Fine, Mom it is." Kiana stopped struggling.

She knew the importance of this matter no matter what, and her desire to decline was simply because she felt it wasn't right for her—after all, Kiana never felt she had much of a connection with "brains."

Since everyone seemed to agree, she accepted the offer.

"Then I'll leave this place to you."

Liu Bai addressed Yang, Himeko, Shigure Kira, and Schrödinger.

"You should familiarize yourselves with the Chariot of a Thousand Worlds first. Don't rush the observation task. I will have Mei guide you when it is officially launched."

"Understood." Yang nodded calmly.

Although he's a bit clueless when it comes to things like shipping couples, as a "veteran" who has weathered Anti-Entropy storms and is now seventy years old, he's mature and prudent enough to handle serious matters and would never take unnecessary risks.

Of course, shipping couples is a form of gossip, especially since it's gossip about our own Alliance Leader. It's a cross-cultural mega-gossip that spans 50,000 years, and basically no one can resist it...

"Let's go back and see how Anna is doing."

After the others started working and sent Kiana away, Liu Bai finally spoke.

Judging by the time, Anna should have finished her talks by now.

"News has come from Gray Serpent —everything is going smoothly."

Otto glanced at his personal terminal.

"Anna did not react violently, and there was no damage to the office... Raven speculated that the two may have peacefully severed ties, and now Anna has requested access to the database to find the families of the victims from that year."

"Approve it." Liu Bai didn't think much of it. "Tell her to go and atone for her sins... no, if you send it, say 'Go and atone for your sins'."

"You..." Otto smiled wryly, but still nodded and sent the message as Liu Bai had instructed. "By the way, shouldn't we arrange for surveillance personnel? Just in case something goes wrong..."

"Kevin."

Liu Bai didn't think much about this issue.

Firstly, Kevin, as Flame-Chasers who came from Previous Era, has seen much of life, death, and difficult choices, and is able to offer some guidance on Anna's situation.

Secondly, the Judgement of Shamash has returned to Kevin's hands after going around in circles. In addition, Kevin's energy has almost recovered. Normally, Herrscher encounters a Lawbringer would be killed. He is not afraid of Anna's Lawbringing at all. Even if Anna makes the first move, she might not be able to kill Kevin.

Thirdly... Kevin hasn't been having a good time lately, and Liu Bai thought he should take care of this unlucky kid.

"After her journey of atonement is over, if the Herrscher of a Thousand are not dealt with, then let her, Joyce, Wendy and the others go after the Herrscher of a Thousand."

The three laws of reason, wind, and ice battling against Herrscher of a Thousand —it sounds pretty exciting.

"In addition, the alert level in various places has been raised a bit. They might take action against the Herrscher of a Thousand at any time... Keep an eye on Chen Tianwu while you're at it."

The main reason Chen Tianwu became a law was that when he was on the verge of death while protecting Anna, he saw the scene of Anna abandoning her sister, which caused him to be consumed by despair. He then handed over the core because he was so desperate that he no longer cared whether he could live again... Well, perhaps there was still a little bit of kindness left.

This shouldn't happen anymore.

However, the future seems to be starting to become uncertain...

Chapter 374 Feng Aotian's creation!

"That guy... he really dares to think that way."

After hearing Himeko's suggestion relayed by Liu Bai, Mei fell silent.

"As a plan at this stage, it is indeed unnecessary, but after the Honkai, the value of this plan will probably be magnified many times over."

Mei has to admit that Himeko's methods are a bit unconventional.

The idea of stopping and taking a break when you can't walk is indeed a very low-level statement, but it's precisely because people haven't thought it through that they haven't realized that this somewhat absurd method is actually quite practical.

"That's a matter for the future. I just came to let you know so I can look after things over there—so now, can you tell me why you were touching Raven's thigh earlier?"

The Raven beside them looked up at the sky.

"Just researching black stockings," Mei replied without the slightest hint of embarrassment. "Or you could say you're researching new combat suits."

The Raven sighed beside him.

"I have to say, there's a lot to learn about clothing. Back then, Eden handled all of this, so it's a bit of a hassle to start learning now."

Mei completely ignored the Raven's sighs and lamentations beside her.

"Have you... did you finish your important business?" Liu Bai looked at his student with a sense of helplessness.

Your methods aren't any better than Himeko's!

"Are you referring to the new generation of Valkyrie Armor or the renovation of the Moonlight Throne?"

"Yes, we have both."

"The Moonlight Throne Anti-Entropy is in charge. The research on the new generation Valkyrie Armor is almost complete, except for one main material. It is estimated that once the main material arrives, those who are currently qualified to wear the fourth-generation Valkyrie Armor will see their combat power increase by 30% to 50% after the fifth-generation Valkyrie Armor is put into use."

"...ah?"

For a moment, Liu Bai didn't understand what Mei was saying.

"The improvement of the new armor is that significant?"

"Valkyrie Armor is also a type of weapon, and this kind of enhancement is already relatively low in terms of the performance difference in weapon updates and iterations."

"Etc..."

Liu Bai suddenly seemed to understand something.

"So you copied the Key of Emptiness? And now you're missing the core of the Herrscher of Herrscher of Domination?"

"Yes." Mei nodded calmly.

"That can't be right... I remember that the energy of a single core of Herrscher of a Thousand is only one-thousandth that of a normal Herrscher, right?"

"Yes, but it didn't say that it could only connect to one core. When I created the Key of Emptiness, I didn't expect there to be Herrscher of Herrscher of a Thousand forms, so I only left one connection position for the Key of Emptiness."

The difference between the Key of Emptiness and a normal God Key is that this thing is itself a soul steel shell of a God Key. To use it, you need to connect it to the Herrscher Core, or you can connect it directly to God Key has already been made.

"While there's not much need to add connection slots for a normal Herrscher Core, it's still meaningful for a low-output core like the Herrscher of a Thousand."

She only made one connection position at the time, which was a last resort. After all, the qualification requirements for the Key of Emptiness are quite high. She was the only one in the entire Moth Chasers to Fire who could use it, but she was just an ordinary person with a relatively good physique.

It's already good enough if you can control one, and do you really think a normal person can control two? Even Fusion Warrior would be out of commission if the energy of two Herrscher Core were to fuse normally.

Herrscher> Honkai Beast> Death Soldier – this is common knowledge.

A regular Fusion Warrior is really just "a bigger weed" when facing a true Herrscher at her peak – you can't say that a human physique fused with the genes of a Judgment or Emperor-Class Honkai Beast can defeat Herrscher or Honkai Beast of the same level, right?

If that's the case, then logically it should be Honkai trembling, not humans. If the average combat power of the Previous Era's Fusion Warrior was above the Emperor-class, then Honkai Beast would have been bred into an industry chain long ago...
