"It looked like the Herrscher of Ice would still take some time to be born."
After roughly sorting through the recent events in Honkai Impact 3rd, Shen Fei calculated when the Herrscher of Ice would appear. He was certain to obtain the Herrscher of Ice's Core, as well as that Herrscher of Stars.
A Herrscher Core did not merely grant tremendous power; it also granted a lifespan far beyond that of ordinary humans. Fusion Warriors had gained such long lives merely by fusing Honkai Beast genes, let alone those who possessed Herrscher Cores.
That was why he would definitely give the Herrscher of Reason Core to Bronya in the end. Otherwise, her lifespan would fall far short of Kiana's and Mei's. The same went for Seele.
As long as someone became a Herrscher, even if they later lost their Herrscher Core, their lifespan would still be greatly extended. Just like Welt now—even after losing the Herrscher of Reason Core, he could still use its ability to construct all things, though its power was somewhat weaker.
The problem was that fusing with a Herrscher Core was extremely invasive, and ordinary people could not withstand it. Otherwise, this alone would have been enough to grant people quite lengthy lifespans.
As for taking a Herrscher Core to another world and fusing with it there, that would not work. Fusing with a Herrscher Core required absorbing an enormous amount of Honkai energy, something that could only be done in the Honkai world.
"Other worlds... Once Honkai is over here, we definitely have to go take a look."
