Vil-V: How about we get the Xianzhou back on its feet?!

"In short, every one of you Moth Chasing Flame is incredibly talented. This Elysia has only been in the world for two days and has already gained the approval of Path of Beauty. And your other friend Sakura is even better than Yanqing in terms of skill, which is quite remarkable for her age. If it's just a matter of causing trouble like this, then I'm quite relieved." After deciding who to blame, Jing Yuan felt much more at ease.

Jing Yuan is about to represent the Xianzhou in issuing a strong condemnation of the Masked Fool!

Why not just explain Elysia's situation directly?

Ha, a character who seems to be Envoy of Beauty has appeared in the Xianzhou. Does Phantylia still dare to come to the Xianzhou?

Anyway, the reputation of the Masked Fool is already bad, so it doesn't matter if it gets any worse.

Regardless, if the vanguard of Destruction dares to touch a hair on the Xianzhou, the Xianzhou will surely offer its due revenge to express its respect.

I haven't even touched the Xianzhou yet, I'm just thinking about it?

Even thinking about it is forbidden! Thinking about it is a sin!

If you dare to think it today, you'll dare to do it tomorrow. And the day after tomorrow, wouldn't you dare to set your sights on the Hunt Aeon?

Phantylia is doomed! Jing Yuan said so!

However, it would be better if we could catch them.

"You might be a little too optimistic." Seeing that Jing Yuan seemed to have remembered something happy, his joy was overflowing, Chen Li couldn't help but tease him.

"What do you mean?" Jing Yuan was taken aback.

He said, "It's nothing, just kidding."

Putting aside Sakura, who is an honest person, Elysia, who is the one who causes the most trouble on the surface, is actually the one with the least impact.

First, there was Vill-V who quietly became the Envoy of Joy, and then there was Mobius who was noticed by the Triple Path and even had the potential to become the Lesser Aeon of Abundance...

Jing Yuan, I'm so sorry!

Forget it, if these two cause any trouble, just say it was the Masked Fool.

"Yes, yes, okay, no problem, don't worry, I won't say anything." After dealing with Jing Yuan and hanging up the phone, Chen Li immediately received a notification from Fu Xuan.

Fu Xuan was asking Elysia how she ascended into the sky, and also informing Chen Li not to tell anyone that the pink sun in the sky was Elysia.

Only Jing Yuan and the Tai Bu Division a high-ranking official in charge of the divination) knew about Elysia's situation, and Fu Xuan, the Taibu Si, had personally handed her over to Chen Li, so this phone call was inevitable.

"I originally intended to resolve this matter with Approval of Noble Morality, but since all the blame has been shifted onto the Masked Fool, then forget it." Chen Li casually tossed the Karma Coins in his hand into his mouth.

The fact that Elysia transformed into a pink sun, illuminating the entire Xianzhou in a way that made it unlike a normal Xianzhou, is undeniably immoral. Therefore, theoretically, it's possible to use Approval of Noble Morality to make them subconsciously ignore this matter for the time being...

But now there's something even more convenient— the Masked Fool.

No matter how outrageous the situation, it's always right to blame the Masked Fool.

And the pink sun does indeed have the style of The Masked Fool.

At the same time, Chen Li used "Approval of Noble Morality" to make the people in the teahouse forget that it was he who had kicked Elysia away with great force.

"So when can I come down?" Elysia, her voice filled with boredom after reconnecting with Chen Li.

"You can come down when you stop shining."

"... Then you should renew my subscription. It's better to shine here than to return to my original body after the projection ends and then have my original body shine too." Elysia sighed through the screen.

"You can stay suspended in the sky in peace. I'll think about the Temple of Civilization. Actually, I think the Temple of Civilization and the Order Garden could be combined, but I have another idea..." Chen Li scratched his head in distress.

For a Miraculous Forger, having too many ideas isn't always a good thing.

Chen Li felt that while the idea of the Temple of Civilization was excellent, the definition of civilization was still somewhat narrow...

"Then I'll leave everything to you. Just tell me if there's anything you need me to do, or anything you need me to collect. Once I've digested this power, I'll be more secure traveling in this world and should be able to help you with many things," Elysia said.

"It's not just about doing a lot of things. If all Thirteen Arbiter-Generals came to the Honkai: Star Rail world for further training, they could form a group to drag the Herrscher of the End out of her Cocoon of Eternity and whip her for three days and three nights," Chen Li complained.

How could one's will not be firm if one persisted in something for 50,000 years? And it just so happens that what resonates with Path is precisely those with unwavering will.

Speaking of being 50,000 years old, it seems to be much earlier than some Path events.

The Honkai world Impact lies in its Worldview...

If all Thirteen Arbiter-Generals were to come to the Honkai: Star Rail world, Path of Preservation would undoubtedly be the only viable option for them. This is because each of Flame-Chasers has made tremendous efforts to safeguard the civilization.

Even Pardo, who lives only to survive, is willing to risk her life and use her luck to open a door to the Cocoon of Eternity next to the Herrscher of the End of the End.

But to be more specific, Kevin is somewhat like the Hunt, because— Kevin once stood on the burnt-out earth and made a promise that humanity would definitely defeat the Honkai!

This aligns perfectly with the concept of revenge.

Su is like Abundance, because Su was originally a doctor who helped people and saved lives.

Eden is like Harmony.

Aponia is like Order, but its act of integrating into the Land of the Past with its own will is somewhat like Remembrance.

The Kalpas may appear to be Destruction on the surface, but in reality, they are not.

We'll find out about Sakura later; it's probably the Hunt, since the Path of the Hunt is characterized by "ruthlessness," "decisiveness," and "revenge."

Cosmo's behavior is like that of Voracity, because he can evolve by devouring Honkai beasts, while Cosmo's philosophy is more in line with that of the Galaxy Rangers, because Cosmo started out as a "hero."

Hua... this one is definitely Preservation!

Gretel and Pardo are pending.

"Jing Yuan is right, everyone in the Moth Chasing Flame is a talent!" Chen Li exclaimed.

"Where to next?" Jingliu's voice interrupted Chen Li's thoughts.

"How about revisiting this place? I happen to still have the pass that the Tai Bu Division gave me. I was originally going to take Elysia shopping..." Chen Li suggested.

"Can."

"Then let's go to the Gong Zao Division first. I have a companion there who is learning forging techniques. I can also go to the workshop to help you forge Heroic Spirit Miraculous Item," Chen Li said.

Forging Miraculous Item produces very special sounds, and Chen Li didn't want to spend Crystals to summon Miracle Barrier, so the most suitable place for Chen Li was the Gong Zao Division where the sound of hammering echoed.

"The Gong Zao Division... Speaking of which, how's the project to create Miraculous Item to suppress Mara-Struck coming along?" The thought of revisiting Jingliu reminded him of the Mara-Struck.

The place called Xianzhou left a deep psychological scar on Jingliu.

"I plan to develop the Miraculous Item that suppress Mara-Struck into a group-type Miraculous Item," Chen Li said.

"Miraculous Item in groups? Then don't be polite with the Xianzhou. The Xianzhou has many good things. What price are you asking for?"

As the former head of the Xianzhou Luofu Sword Sect, Jingliu naturally knew just how important the Miraculous Item that suppress Mara-Struck would be to the Xianzhou if it could be widely used.

"Me? I didn't ask for a price; I told them to decide what to pay."

"This negotiation tactic is very clever. As the saying goes, rare goods are worth hoarding... What's free is often the most expensive." Jingliu nodded slightly.

The most difficult negotiation is the one that doesn't involve negotiation.

Chapter 192 Vill-V: How about the idea of making the Xianzhou stand up?!

The enchanting sound of hammering echoed throughout the Gong Zao Division until it finally stopped. Only then did the Gong Zao Division come to their senses and look into a forging room, wondering what such an elegant and melodious sound of hammering, like art, truly meant.

"As expected of the general's distinguished guest, he certainly has some skill in crafting objects. It's a pity he's a short-lived species..." After making a few remarks, the craftsmen from the Gong Zao Division dispersed and devoted themselves to their work.

In the mouths of the craftsmen of the Xianzhou, the term "short-lived species" is not a derogatory term, because the knowledge within the Gong Zao Division is vast and boundless, and it is impossible for humankind to fully comprehend all of this knowledge in its short span of 100 years.

"No matter how many times I've seen it, the awe-inspiring power of forging Miraculous Item never diminishes. Although I still don't understand it, it feels incredibly powerful," Vill-V remarked from the side.

"Speaking of which, Vill-V, you've become the Envoy of Joy, so why haven't you caused anything yet? You're making me uneasy; I have a feeling you're brewing something big." Chen Li put down the Miracle Hammer, reached into the Miracle Fire, and took out the crafted Miraculous Item.

"Why do I have to cause trouble?" Vill-V tilted her head.

"Because my preconceived notion of the Masked Fool is that he's a troublemaker, and a big one at that," Chen Li said.

"Your preconceived notions are quite accurate. Here, this is my result." Vill-V gave Chen Li a smug smile and then took out a mask.

"This is..." Chen Li could see that the mask in Vill-V's hand was emitting a faint light, indicating that the mask was extraordinary.

There must be many great entries above!

"Persona Mask".

"???"

"It can bestow a mask upon any object that possesses an additional personality. What If worn by a human, it will create a dual personality; What If worn by a non-living object, it will give the object consciousness and personality, and may even bring it to life."

"You scared me to death! I thought it was one of those Persona Mask from the 'Smell of Goddess' series that could summon something like a Stand... No, this thing is even more dangerous than Persona Mask. What are you going to do with it?" Chen Li couldn't help but ask after realizing that the Persona Mask's effects seemed a bit too overpowered.

The effect of this item is rather ordinary compared to Miraculous Item, but it is still a bit too advanced for ordinary Pathstrider.

"Chen Li, as you know, I fell deeply in love with you the moment I saw you..."

"???"

"... the forging furnace."

"..."

"But I've discovered that human strength has its limits. Without the help of special powers, forging items similar to Miraculous Item artifacts is incredibly difficult. However, the arrival of the Aeon of Joy and the power she provided have given me even more possibilities," Vill-V said eloquently.

"How is that possible?"

"I briefly read through the history of this world. The Aeon of Intellect was originally a computer used to solve all things, and Emperor Rupert, Genius Society member, was also a computer with self-awareness. This shows that in this world, the potential of machines is unpredictable. Allowing unconscious beings to transcend the limits of the individual may also be one of the ways to become a god."

"Vill-V, calm down. The two examples you just gave are not replicable," Chen Li reminded her.

"You're right. In subsequent experiments, I also discovered that even though this mask, created by fusing one of my blank personalities with the power of the Envoy of Joy, does have the ability to give consciousness and personality to non-living matter, the personalities are too weak. Although they are pure enough, they cannot even control their own bodies smoothly because the 'signal' is too weak, so it is difficult to even move." Vill-V shook her head regretfully.

"It would be strange if it could work... Wait a minute, did you just say something incredible?" Chen Li was stunned for a moment.

"Are you referring to the entire power of the Envoy of Joy? I feel that given the reputation of the Aeon of Joy, He might take back this power at any time, so I have never considered this power as my own." Vill-V waved her hand.

"No, I meant what you just said about the mask incorporating a blank personality of yours?"

"Yes, is there a problem with that?"

"There's a problem, a huge problem, are you crazy?" Chen Li couldn't help but press his forehead.

To be honest, when Chen Li met with Vill-V, he found that she hadn't created any Genesis Mech or anything like that. Chen Li thought that this Envoy of Joy was originally quite outrageous, was actually the most docile. He didn't expect that Vill-V had secretly pulled off a big stunt for him!

You care about me, right?

"Nonsense!"

"It feels so good to be cared for, but what What If I told you that this blank personality was provided by a god with different faces who suddenly glanced at me?" A sly smile appeared on Vill-V's lips.

"Ha?"

"Here's the thing, as you know, I have multiple personalities..." Vill-V said quite frankly.

After Chen Li learned the secret from the plot, Vill-V no longer considered it a secret.

"Then what?"

"The plot you provided was indeed helpful to me because it made me realize my own talents... Although my id has always refused to face reality, I am still quite capable of facing reality now that I only have two personalities. So after switching personalities using different methods and successfully reaching an agreement for each personality to work for a period of time, an Aeon glanced at me, I think it was the Harmony Aeon mentioned in history books."

"Ah... this is an unexpected path, but it seems quite reasonable." Chen Li scratched his head.

Can cooperation between different personalities be considered Harmony?

The behaviors of 'understanding,' 'support,' and 'cooperation' are manifestations of a Harmony Path.

The Pixie offered a friendly reminder.

Okay, that makes sense.

Or rather, the future Vill-V, who possesses eight equal personalities, is indeed very similar to Xipe, who has a thousand faces.

And Vill-V's id personality is completely indifferent to being a part of something, rather than the main body.

This Om is so Harmony.

"So you embarked on Path of Harmony?"

"More or less, but quite a bit different. The moment we reached a consensus, we did indeed embark on the Path of Harmony, and this Path of Harmony, for some reason, gifted us a unified platform that allows the id and other personalities to communicate normally, cooperate, and progress together..."

"Isn't this great?"

"Theoretically it's good, but my ego thinks we're disturbing her. Plus, with the idea that 'Vill-V is not just Vill-V, but only Vill-V,' and the help of the Path of Joy that just happened to come to our door, we 'took' this overarching platform out and put it into this mask," Vill-V said.

"..." Chen Li roughly understood.
