Big Bronya and Bronie
"However... technology has developed to this level, and we already have things like TVs and sofas, so isn't the level of civilization already very high? Have any Herrscher emerged yet?" The Book of Cang Xuan looked at Fu Hua with some hesitation.
In Previous Era, the Herrscher was a terrifying term. Regardless of which Herrscher it was, they almost always caused irreparable damage to humanity or caused some kind of great tragedy.
Although the Book of Cang Xuan was not created to fight against the Herrscher, Fu Hua, as a Flame-Chaser, has the duty to fight against the Herrscher.
However, opposing Herrscher is an extremely dangerous thing.
"My little ancestor, don't misunderstand. The reason I was able to repair the Book of Cang Xuan is not because current technology has developed to this level, but because of this." Chen Luo couldn't help but explain when he saw Cang Xuan's worried expression.
Chen Luo directly clicked to claim the reward on the talent panel and took out the modified Void Archive.
The golden cube spun in Chen Luo's hand, and the already dazzling Void Archive seemed to shine even brighter and become even more mysterious after exceeding the limit.
"This is... the First Divine Key, Void Archive?" The Book of Cang Xuan looked at the golden hexahedron shimmering with light before him, and after searching through the database, it remembered it.
The First Divine Key, containing all the knowledge of the Previous Era, Void Archive.
"So you have the Void Archive, huh? A blockhead who only knows how to act recklessly has actually taken in a research talent. I wonder what you can teach him." The Book of Cang Xuan glanced at the Herrscher of Knowledge.
After all, the First Divine Key, the Void Archive, is not something that everyone can use; it has certain eligibility requirements for its users.
Those who are not intelligent enough cannot gain the approval of the First Divine Key, cannot use the Void Archive, let alone learn the knowledge within it.
A tic-tac-toe mark appeared on the Herrscher of Knowledge's forehead, but Herrscher of Knowledge endured it in order not to reveal her identity so quickly.
Fu Hua won't react to these words, but that doesn't mean the Herrscher of Knowledge won't.
"So, the current civilization isn't yet capable of supporting the emergence of Herrscher? That's good. Herrscher are truly terrifying." The Book of Cang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"..." Herrscher of Knowledge and Chen Luo both fell silent.
You might not believe it, but everyone in this house except you is Herrscher.
"Hey, why aren't you saying anything?" Book of Cang Xuan looked at Chen Luo and the Herrscher of Knowledge who had fallen silent and couldn't help but panic.
Did I say something wrong?
"Well, Xiao Xuan, actually the First Herrscher appeared several decades ago, and the Third Herrscher was only recently created," the Herrscher of Knowledge said after thinking for a moment.
"Are there already Herrscher? Have they been eliminated?"
"No, that's not the case. The First Herrscher Welt, perhaps due to the special nature of the Herrscher of Reason, or perhaps because of the special circumstances surrounding his becoming Herrscher, became a Herrscher from the human side. The Second Herrscher, Sirin, although not Herrscher from the human side, was also eliminated by me and others. The Third Herrscher appeared not long ago was not a fully awakened Herrscher. He was taken back by a Honkai organization for training and is expected to become the second Herrscher from the human side."
The Herrscher of Knowledge began to explain to Cang Xiao Xuan.
"Human Herrscher? Two of them? This civilization is a bit strange." Cang Xiao Xuan suddenly felt like he was falling behind the times.
After all, even though I haven't experienced this civilization yet, just hearing this information makes this era seem incredibly magical.
"You two chat first, I'll adjust the Void Archive." Seeing that the Herrscher of Knowledge was playing the "Guess Who I Am" game with the Book of Cang Xuan, Chen Luo didn't disturb them any further.
Moreover, having just brought out the Void Archive, Chen Luo still needed to add some initial settings to it.
That's right, some settings of the Void Archive after exceeding the limit can be manually modified.
For example, the image modification and personality customization of the artificial intelligence within the Void Archive.
Moreover, this was the first time Chen Luo had ever touched a five-star item, so he naturally wanted to carefully examine the interior of the Void Archive.
[Void Archive: Revelation - Overlimit Form] (Bound): A 5-star top-tier weapon created by overlimiting [Void Archive: Revelation]. After overlimiting, the weapon's performance in all aspects is greatly enhanced, and special functions are added.
① Copy:
It can completely replicate all weapons and equipment of quality 6 stars or below. When replicating equipment of quality 5 stars or below, the user only needs to interact with it for a period of time to understand its structure before it can be completely replicated.
When copying a five-star weapon, you need to understand its structure and master more than 80% of the structural blueprint to successfully copy the weapon completely.
When copying a 6-star weapon, the user needs to touch it for a long time and fully understand its structure in order to copy the weapon to a certain extent.
When the object to be reproduced is a consumable, a certain amount of Honkai energy, spiritual power, and magic power will be consumed to construct it. The constructed consumable can be maintained for a long time, but it still has a time limit and cannot exist permanently.
(Once a weapon is perfectly copied or partially copied, the corresponding blueprint will be generated within the Void Archive, and it can be directly constructed the next time it is used.)
②Storage:
The Void Archive is Great Library. When knowledge is stored or text is entered into the Void Archive, users will receive extremely high bonuses when learning that knowledge (photographic memory, rapid comprehension, enhanced experience, enhanced inspiration, etc.).
When the input object is a spell, magic, or other type of attack support technique, once the user understands the technique's content and reaches the required level of proficiency, they can instantly cast the spell at a certain cost. The number of casts depends on the user's mental strength. (This cost can be excessive spiritual power, excessive magical power, excessive Honkai energy, etc.)
③Wisdom:
Knowledge is power. The stronger a user's mental strength, the more they read, and the more knowledgeable they are, the greater the power they will have when using the Void Archive.
It can store and seal away certain useless, abandoned, or Forbidden Knowledge, transforming it into certain mental attacks that inflict mental damage on enemies.
④Auxiliary:
This Divine Key comes with a portion of the artificial intelligence Prometheus. After exceeding its limits, this AI has greatly enhanced its computing power, enabling it to help users quickly analyze, input, and decipher certain data. The more complex the data, the longer it takes. Once the data is analyzed, it can be used as a one-time use item before the user understands it, but its power will be weakened.
(The AI's appearance, personality, and attributes can be freely set.)
"Emmm, how should I put it... Although the various descriptions of this Void Archive after its transcendence seem quite complicated, the whole thing boils down to one sentence—don't use it if you're illiterate." Chen Luo felt a bit awkward looking at this Void Archive after its transcendence.
It's not that the Void Archive after its transcendence isn't strong; it's strong, extremely strong. If Dr. Mei had possessed the Void Archive back then, the strongest warrior of the Previous Era might not have been Kevin, but Dr. Mei.
However, on the other hand, the Void Archive is actually most suitable not for a technological civilization but for a magical civilization, or a civilization with certain Forbidden Knowledge.
Carefully examine the descriptions of each function in the Void Archive; each function requires corresponding knowledge to use.
The first function is copying. If you're too stupid to understand the structure of the equipment or weapon, you can only use Void Archive to copy equipment or items below five stars. The most powerful function is completely unusable.
The second function is storage. If you are illiterate, what use is it if there is an endless Great Library full of knowledge that you can't understand?
Not to mention the one with the storage function (mobile turret).
You can cast magic instantly after learning it? LOL, you can't learn that at all!
The third function is intelligence. Needless to say, it's practically written all over their faces that they despise illiterate people.
The fourth function is less restricted for illiterate people; almost anyone can use it.
But what's the point of having a fourth function if it's not functional?
"Fortunately, I have Furniture Mastery." At this moment, Chen Luo was even more grateful that he had this initial skill.
Chen Luo is just an ordinary Traveler is above average but not quite a genius. Without Furniture Mastery, he wouldn't be able to navigate this Void Archive at all.
With the Furniture Mastery, Chen Luo can say that he is a true master of all professions, which means that Chen Luo possesses the corresponding level of expertise.
With this bonus, using the Void Archive becomes much easier.
"But... isn't this AI customization just face sculpting?" Chen Luo looked at the last sentence in the entire introduction.
Is this character customization feature legitimate?
Chapter 143 Bronya the Elder and Bronie
Chen Luo personally dislikes the original Void Archive replicating items requires not only a complete understanding of its structure, but also results in weapons that are weaker than the originals.
If that were all, it would be fine. After all, there are gains and losses. The Void Archive is so powerful, it's normal for it to have some shortcomings.
However, the problem is that the Void Archive has another, even bigger and more fatal flaw.
The Void Archive possesses self-awareness and is a combination of the First Herrscher and the super artificial intelligence Prometheus designed by May. Its core and microelectronic information are inscribed with the ultimate mission of "saving humanity from the Honkai".
Therefore, in a sense, Chen Luo, who has no intention of eliminating Honkai, is not qualified to use the Void Archive.
The consciousness of the Void Archive governs the library within the Void Archive, and eligible individuals need its permission to enter the library.
Although Chen Luo's Furniture Mastery allows him to control the Void Archive, the Void Archive's self-awareness is actually quite strong.
Chen Luo can control the Void Archive to change its appearance, while the consciousness of the Void Archive can stop Chen Luo from entering the Great Library.
Although the opponent's resistance decreased considerably after prolonged contact with Void Archive, Chen Luo still didn't like Void Archive's consciousness.
Can you tolerate a spirit that might turn against you?
Although the other party's mission to fight against the Honkai was not wrong, it just became more difficult for Chen Luo to use, which is something that cannot be criticized or refuted.
In Chen Luo's view, the consciousness of this Void Archive was just like a human being under the discipline imposed by Aponia; it had already gone mad.
Especially in Post-Honkai Odyssey, he did indeed fulfill his mission of saving humanity from the Honkai —but directly attracted an even more terrifying enemy.
Advanced extraterrestrial life form - Lucheni
This can't even be considered "driving away the wolf to devour the tiger" anymore; "driving away the wolf to devour the tiger" can at least result in both sides suffering heavy losses.
To say that he harms others without benefiting himself is actually a compliment.
This Void Archive is only responsible for removing Honkai; whether humanity will still exist after the Honkai is gone is not its concern.
The world was at peace, but you insist on stirring up trouble. Who can tolerate that?
But that's outrageous.
Therefore, Chen Luo suspected that the other party might even kill him.
Therefore, Chen Luo was extremely satisfied with this improvement.
Chen Luo snapped his fingers and began to summon the original consciousness of the Void Archive.
The consciousness of Void Archive has no specific form. Although Prometheus looks somewhat like Bronya, Void Archive is the Herrscher of Reason Core, plus a part of Prometheus.
Chen Luo successfully summoned the consciousness of the Void Archive, but instead of having the Void Archive appear outside, Chen Luo entered the Void Archive.
Chen Luo appeared in a huge, boundless, Great Library.
A golden Herrscher of Knowledge appeared in front of Chen Luo.
This is a common method used by the Void Archive Consciousness: to simulate one's own appearance as that of someone the other party is familiar with.
"What... did you do to Void Archive?" As soon as Chen Luo entered, Void Archive asked Chen Luo with a gloomy face.
"Hey, don't look so gloomy. Xiao Shi wouldn't make such an expression. At most, he's just angry because he was tricked by his own mother." Chen Luo felt that Void Archive was simply an insult to the image of the Herrscher of Knowledge.
Even someone as carefree as the Herrscher of Knowledge would be gloomy?
At most, they'll just get furious.
"You know, that's not the point."
"Huh? What's the point? I came in just to see you one last time." Chen Luo didn't understand what Void Archive was talking about.
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, don't worry, I won't let you completely detach from yourself; I will retain a part of you," Chen Luo said sincerely.
"What exactly are you..."
"Alright, stop. I don't want to hear anything more from you." Chen Luo snapped his fingers again, and the [Herrscher of Knowledge], who originally had absolute control over the Void Archive as its consciousness, instantly lost even the ability to speak.
Void Archive is extremely adept at tempting people. Although Chen Luo didn't think it could tempt him in any way, Chen Luo figured he shouldn't let it waste its breath, just in case it had something that could tempt him.
The villain dies from talking too much.
Even though I'm not a villain.
"Hmm, how should I set it up? Let me think... Prometheus... Bronya... I've got it!"
Chen Luo just said that he would allow the consciousness of the Void Archive to retain a part of itself.
But Chen Luo did not say which part to keep.
Furthermore, the character creation system in Void Archive after exceeding the limit is not limited to one creation; you can create multiple creations, and it is not completely fixed. You can switch back whenever you want.
Chen Luo first froze the original consciousness of Void Archive into the first record, and then began the process of creating the second consciousness.
After all, it's a scientific creation, so it's normal to have multiple backups, right?
Only Chen Luo can modify this backup.
The reason Chen Luo didn't delete the original backup was because he thought it might be useful when he went to the Previous Era.
Creating a character's face isn't difficult, or rather, it's not difficult to create a face in the Elysian Realm. You only need to give an image and imagine it in your mind to create a perfect face.
The more data available, the more realistic the character creation will be. Alternatively, you can simply set a few keywords and some emotion tags, Void Archive can create a custom image for you.
Even with such convenience, it still took Chen Luo a full half hour to create the face of Void Archive.
This clearly demonstrates how seriously Chen Luo took creating the character's face in the Void Archive.
"Hmm, not bad." Chen Luo's consciousness was projected into the Void Archive, looking with satisfaction at the two backups with different appearances but the same personality displayed on the backup screen.
