Chapter 324

"That's wonderful, thank you so much, darling!"

"But are you really content with just an escaped Miraculous Item?"

"Well..."

"Just say what you want, say it out loud..." Chen Li coaxed.

The Aeon of Joy just played me, so I'll play the Masked Fool under His command!

"Actually, I think this Miraculous Item you made for me is alright. It lets me know where there's fun, but it would be even better What If you could make it so that I can appear at any place where there's fun anytime," Sparkle said, revealing her true feelings.

[New Need]: New fun has emerged, how can we stand still! Create a Miraculous Item that can quickly transport Sparkle to the location of the fun!

Posted by: Sparkle

Reward: 30~100 Crystals

Risk: Low to Medium

"Huh?" Chen Li admitted that he was genuinely stunned when he saw the reward.

What are you trying to do, you naturally evil, Masked Fool?

Chen Li had no idea how much trouble Sparkle would have to go through to gather the Miracle Power of 100 Crystals.

"But I invested in this project!"

Creating each Miraculous Item is equivalent to starting a new project.

So far, Chen Li has never lost money.

"Sparkle, go to the Party Car and find someone named Argenti. Take him to the Parlor Car. He has the entries you need."

"Sure, no problem. But why hasn't the train left yet?" Sparkle asked, voicing her doubts.

Sparkle clearly climbed in through the car door, so logically, the Sparkle should have departed once she got on.

"Waiting for someone."

"Darling, you'd rather wait for someone else than for me. Do I really hold such a low place in your heart? I'd like to see which vixen has you so obsessed with me!"

"Driver."

"Driver? That's alright then. I'm going to find Argenti."

Upon hearing the word "driver," Sparkle's mental wrinkles instantly smoothed out...

The driver... indeed, no matter how long it takes, we have to wait.

"Wait a minute, where did the Astral Express get a driver?" But it wasn't until Sparkle arrived at the Party Car that Sparkle came to her senses.

According to the script given by Silver Wolf, does Sparkle remember that the Astral Express starts automatically?

But speaking of Silver Wolf...

[Sparkle]: Dear sisters, today our Friends Circle Miraculous Item group is hosting a super luxurious party on the Astral Express. Guess who didn't get an invitation?

[Silver Wolf]:???

Oh no, I'm being bullied!

"I heard from Sparkle that you're going to host a super luxurious party on the Astral Express. Why didn't you invite me?" Silver Wolf stood in front of Chen Li in the form of a holographic projection, hands on his hips.

This is one of the new Friends Circle features developed by Pixie).

"That unlucky kid, Sparkle..." Chen Li sighed.

"Get to the point, why didn't you invite me? Sparkle said everyone you know was invited. Plus, there are super fun games and incredibly understanding online teammates!"

"Silver Wolf, according to the script, shouldn't you be meeting with the people from the Astral Express right now?" Chen Li countered. "Huh? Really? It seems so... But don't worry about it, anyway, Acheron is staying up all night revising the script. Hurry up and invite me, I want to play a super fun game!" Silver Wolf said excitedly.

"Rewrite the script?"

"Yes, I've even read its new script. I've memorized the whole thing." Silver Wolf nodded.

"What did you write?" Chen Li asked, somewhat curious.

Hearing Silver Wolf say this, Chen Li couldn't help but feel admiration for Acheron.

With the time traveler's talent for causing trouble fully utilized, is it possible to continue observing the future?

Or is it that as Pathstrider on the Finality Path, one is walking from the future to the past, and therefore truly knows what will happen in the future?

"Want to know?" Silver Wolf revealed a sly smile.

"Think."

"Then invite me!"

"Well... fine. But I'm not responsible for helping you disguise yourself. I don't care what the consequences will be if the people on the Astral Express find out about you."

"No problem. Doesn't Kafka always say that anything Acheron didn't write in the script is irrelevant? Since Acheron didn't say I couldn't attend this party, it means I can attend, so it's perfectly fine!"

"???"

Are you sure that Acheron didn't say you couldn't attend the party because it was unimportant, or because he was completely unaware of it?

However, out of curiosity about Acheron, Chen Li eventually invited Silver Wolf.

At the same time, Chen Li thought of something else: it was said that Acheron was a black cat. So What If Chen Li Pardo and adopted Acheron instead, wouldn't that...

"Alright, so tell me, what exactly did Acheron write in the new script?" Chen Li asked after inviting Silver Wolf onto the Astral Express. "It's completely blank. He didn't write a single word all night." After Silver Wolf finished speaking, he spotted the Party Car and ran over, afraid that Chen Li would change his mind and kick him out.

"Then you still say you memorized everything... Okay, indeed." Chen Li then realized that What If not a single word was written down, then a blank page would be the entire content.

Too cunning, Silver Wolf!

"Here I am, here I am!" And at this moment, the culprit that made Chen Li wait for 10 minutes finally appeared.

Vill-V brought three other the Lady to Chen Li via her Friends Circle.

"Tell me earlier if you want to throw a party next time. I was just performing a fusion surgery on Eden," Mobius complained to Chen Li as soon as he appeared.

It was because Mobius was undergoing fusion surgery that the time was delayed.

"Next time for sure... But what does your surgery have to do with Vill-V? Vill-V doesn't seem like the type to wait for someone on purpose." Chen Li asked curiously.

"Because we can't set off without a driver, right? So, to make you wait for me, I stabbed Vill-V in the back, putting her in a state of needing surgery." Mobius said these extremely terrifying words with nonchalance.

"Ah?"

"Don't listen to Mobius's alarmist talk; she only cut off a lock of my hair," Vill-V said irritably.

Although Vill-V has become Fusion Warrior, the spider Vill-V fused with is a mind control type, and in reality, she is no match for Mobius, who fused with the snake.

"So this counts as surgery? Well... won't you introduce these two the Ladies to me?" Chen Li looked at the other two people present besides Mobius and Vill-V.

"What's there to introduce? Don't pretend you don't know them, okay? You're really being pretentious," Vill-V said disdainfully.

"If you can't understand what I'm saying, then I do know a little bit about martial arts." Chen Li clenched his fist.

"Both of them had dreams, and you were in them. Cough cough, if I had to introduce them... this is Aponia, the third of the Flame-Chasers who runs a sanatorium on Dusk Street. This is Eden, the fourth of the Flame-Chasers, the greatest singer and artist of the First Civilization Era!" Vill-V introduced the two stunningly beautiful women beside Chen Li.

"Do they dream of me?"

The dream that Vill-V refers to is that the Thirteen Arbiter-Generals who did not exist in the Second Civilization Era would know what would happen to them in their original destiny through dreams.

However, Chen Li did not have any contact with Aponia or Eden during the First Civilization Era.

"Because of me and Elysia," Vill-V explained.

In other words, in the original future, Vill-V always liked to include Chen Li when she boasted.

"I've long admired your name, Chen Li." The stunningly beautiful singer, who had captivated the entire civilization, stepped forward first and extended her right hand to Chen Li.

The lights of the Astral Express shone on the singer's long, wine-red hair, which was then reflected back by the dark gold hair ornaments that held the strands in place. Her beautiful face was tinged with a slight blush, perhaps a side effect of the fusion surgery.

Wearing an elegant and gorgeous black and red long dress of her own design, the fitted waist and full skirt gracefully outlined a fleeting glimpse of that era, while the delicate black stockings accentuated her beautiful leg lines.

As a representative of art and song in the First Civilization Era, Eden possesses a composed and elegant, all-encompassing grace.

"Hello, Miss Eden." Chen Li gently shook Eden's hand.

The singer before me is impeccably beautiful, and even more so, impeccably polite.

"Thank you for taking care of Aili for so long, and thank you for personally erasing those unfortunate fates, allowing the First Civilization Era to continue to shine. We will always remember your contributions to this civilization," Eden said softly.

"That's too much of an exaggeration. You don't need to praise me like that."

"It's no exaggeration. A couple of days ago, Aili came to me and suddenly said that singing couldn't save civilization, which really startled me. Later, I learned from Aili that the cruel fates in those dreams were not illusions, but things that could actually happen in the future."

Eden and Elysia met a long time ago, and Eden was also the biggest Elysia fan leader in the Previous Civilization.

"Because I witnessed the cruelty of the future in my dream, I realized how hard-won the peace we enjoy today is. I look forward to witnessing with Aili the innovations you bring to the First Civilization Era and that new future." Eden's tone was full of affirmation for Chen Li's actions and expectations for the future.

Amidst the endless yellow sands and scorched earth filled with radiation, he sang his final song for Elysia, and together with that era, they vanished into the Finality —this was the end of Eden.

Eden believed that as a symbol of an era, he should disappear along with it.

The ship bound for the new world (Honkai Impact 3rd Part 2) has no place for us old folks. jpg So Eden remained in the Previous Civilization after the song ended.

But who can stop civilization from continuing to shine?

There is no harm without comparison. It is precisely because Chen Li's changes to the Previous Civilization were subtle and gradual that Eden, with its delicate and gentle nature, could understand just how precious this seemingly gentle change truly was.

"And as a token of my gratitude, please accept this gift." Eden handed the golden cup he had been holding to Chen Li.

"No need to be so polite..." Although Chen Li said this, Chen Li body still honestly took the golden cup. Because from the moment they appeared, Chen Li's eyes were drawn to this golden cup.

The entries on this page are quite eye-catching.

"This is..."

When Chen Li, holding the golden cup, saw the inscription on it, he was greatly surprised.

Echoes, Civilization, Art, Gold, Apocalypse, Finality, Rebirth, Destruction, Dreams...

There were so many entries that Chen Li was a little flustered, and they were all very prominent.

What is this?

"This is the ability I used after fusing with that bird that could transmit echoes, creating the first and final echo," Eden explained.

"Perhaps it's because in that dream that foreshadowed the future, the last sound I left for this world was a song, which gave birth to this echo. It contains another Destruction world, my Destruction dream, and also an expectation for the future... I hope you like it."

Whether by coincidence or by design, the most professional singer of the entire civilization, who witnessed the world's demise, used his ability to record all echoes to recreate the last moments of that lost and Destruction dream civilization.

"I love it so much!" Chen Li said, clearly delighted.

What a brilliant entry!

"But you didn't even listen to me explain what it's good for."

"Uh, isn't this for me to Extract Attribute?"

"If you wish, of course you can. But it has two other uses. First, crushing it can summon the world-ending blow of the Finality. Second, drinking from it will allow you to hear my song. It records my life in dreams, and there's bound to be a song that suits you. May my song help you fall asleep more peacefully." A gentle smile graced Eden's face.

"I see, that's quite an amazing souvenir..."

Chen Li then realized that the golden [Gold] entry was Eden's exclusive entry.

This also indirectly proves how well Eden and the bird that can record echoes are compatible.

"If Mister Chen Li Chen Li n't mind, you can give me a Negative Artifact. If you need me to record certain echoes for you, you can summon my projection and use it at will. Don't worry about dying, because I've already made the corresponding preparations," Eden said with a light laugh.

"That would be wonderful. I can craft a rather unique Miraculous Item for you, which might be perfect for you."

Eden's role is well-suited to be a battlefield reporter, and Chen Li happens to have a suitable entry for her.

This recorded recollection can be considered a more advanced form of Light Cone.

It also has the ability to replicate attacks.

"Then I'll wait and see."

If the Miraculous Item that Chen Li crafted for him could help him better assist Chen Li in recording the echoes, Eden would naturally not refuse.

Eden understood that wealth was insufficient to express his gratitude to Chen Li, so he had to find another way.

"Eden, Aponia, you two are here? That's great! I came as soon as I heard Vill-V text me." Elysia returned to the Parlor Car from the Party Car and was very happy to see Eden and Aponia.

Although Elysia and Aponia had only known each other for a few days, Elysia's social skills made their relationship quite good.

"Ah, Aili, you seem to be having a lot of fun," Eden greeted her with a smile.

Meanwhile, Aponia, the other protagonist mentioned by Elysia, walks towards Chen Li.
