Miraculous Forging Guide Beginning in Honkai

Just like the Miracle System of the past.

Thus, in the process of a Miraculous Forger gaining Miracle Power, forging Miraculous Items was not the hardest part. Finding suitable users for them was.

However, whether it was Argenti or Elysia, both were trustworthy people.

Of course, Chen Li retained final interpretation rights over every Miraculous Item he forged.

Chen Li could make those Miraculous Items return to the Omniscient Archive at any time.

Perhaps this function existed because the Miracle System of the past had so often entrusted its power to the wrong people.

"Oh, so this is your first time drifting through another world." Elysia, who was still talking with Chen Li, nodded as if she half understood.

"Mm."

"You answered my question so honestly. Aren't you afraid I might harm you? For example, lock you up and make you forge Miraculous Items for me every day!" Elysia tried her best to put on a sinister smile.

"Even I don't know where I'll be when I open my eyes next time, let alone you," Chen Li said casually.

According to the Miraculous Forging Guide, the passive ability that could send him abroad just by walking around might not have disappeared.

After being upgraded and strengthened by the Miracle System, perhaps Chen Li might walk along and end up countless years in this world's past or future.

"No fun."

"Alright, Elysia. Didn't you say you'd take me back to Moth Chasing Flame? Where's your transportation?" Chen Li asked after roughly checking over the materials.

"Huh? Didn't I tell you? My transportation is hidden near where you fought the Herrscher of the Void," Elysia said with feigned surprise.

"...You never told me that at all!"

"Hehe, looks like I accidentally forgot."

"Then we have to go back the way we came."

"No need. The place where the Herrscher of the Void was defeated is right ahead."

"...So admit it, you deliberately led me in a huge circle!"

"I was just so curious about why you fell from the sky. Besides, didn't you pick up lots more materials too?"

"Cough, cough..." Chen Li could not refute that.

Elysia really had given him too much.

From that perspective, the Honkai world truly deserved to be called a world of "chance encounters." It was indeed suitable for Chen Li to gather forging materials and obtain Miracle Power.

Moreover, this really was a world in need of miracles.

Herrscher of the Void Authority model recorded. Current proficiency: 2%. Use not recommended.

The notification from the Miraculous Forging Guide drew Chen Li's attention.

This notification seemed to have appeared once while they were fighting, but Chen Li had not dared let himself be distracted.

Part of the Miraculous Forging Guide stated that when Chen Li came into close contact with someone possessing abilities related to time, space, or fate, he could analyze their abilities and temporarily use that Authority through Starstones.

Crystals could not be obtained from nothing, but Starstones could recover automatically over time. They were essentially Chen Li's mana, so this made sense.

Perhaps this was why the top-tier time, space, and fate aptitude known as "Traveler" had no active abilities at all, yet could produce Starstones, a pure aggregate of time, space, and fate energy.

Chen Li had not originally possessed this trait, likely because he had never traveled between worlds and his Traveler profession level was still zero.

"Watching others use the corresponding ability can raise proficiency. Practicing it myself can also raise proficiency. I'll practice later. But practice costs Starstones too..."

The more Chen Li thought about it, the more he felt that this trait's original purpose was not to have him defeat its owner, but to build a good relationship with them.

"Tch. Where am I supposed to find a Herrscher of the Void who's both stupid and easy to fool? I should just practice myself."

Current balance:

Crystal (Miracle Crystal): 15

Starstones (Spacetime Crystal): 100

After personally killing the Herrscher of the Void, Chen Li gained another ten Crystals.

So stealing kills really was necessary.

Although Argenti, as Chen Li's "Miraculous Item summon," might have achieved the same result by killing the Herrscher of the Void, Chen Li did not dare gamble on it.

And the result of changing events so that "the Herrscher of the Void, who should have been killed by Elysia, instead died at Chen Li's hands" was these one hundred Starstones.

As a Traveler, could he really call himself a Traveler if he did not stir up some trouble for the world?

And the bigger the mess he made, the more Starstones he received.

That was perfectly reasonable.

"Chen Li, do you really intend to donate the Herrscher of the Void's corpse to Moth Chasing Flame?" Elysia asked while driving.

"Mm." Chen Li nodded.

"The Herrscher of the Void Core too?"

"Mm." Chen Li nodded again.

"I thought you'd keep the Herrscher Core for yourself. Didn't you say anything could be used as forging material? And you even picked up Honkai crystals earlier." Elysia glanced at Chen Li.

"Don't look at me, look at the road! You're already breaking traffic safety rules by driving in high heels!" Chen Li hurriedly said.

"Don't worry. Even if we flip the car, I can take you with me when I jump out." Though she said that, Elysia did turn her head back and carefully watched the increasingly damaged highway.

"There are countless roads, but safety comes first. Drive improperly, and your family will shed two lines of tears!"

"Yes, yes. So can you answer my question now?" Elysia nodded with apparent sincerity.

"Because... I'm ultimately an outsider, and the Herrscher Core can serve a greater purpose if it remains in this world," Chen Li said.

Chen Li was not some saint, nor was he selfless.

But he truly had no need to take things that were unnecessary.

A Herrscher Core was powerful, and then what?

Could a Herrscher Core still function if Chen Li brought it to his own world? No.

Because Spirit Energy and Honkai energy operated on entirely different principles.

But Miraculous Items could work, which was why Miraculous Items were the priority.

His father had once said that Herrscher Cores were unimportant. Miraculous Items were what mattered!

And when the Herrscher of the Void dropped her material card, every one of her traits had already transferred into it. Although the Herrscher Core could still be used to forge conventional items such as God Keys, it did not mean much to Chen Li.

The material card's value lay in the fact that he could extract certain traits from it at any time. Unlike other items, he would not have to use everything at once after placing it into Miracle Fire, or spend Miracle Crystals to preserve it.

And after losing her traits due to the material card, the Herrscher of the Void herself would not decay like the Knight's Broken Sword. Her original abilities remained intact; only her source traits could no longer be extracted again.

"For this world's sake? Are all outsiders like you, who travel between different worlds, so considerate?" Elysia seemed somewhat surprised.

"Thanks for the compliment. But despicable outsiders are probably the majority. Orderly neutral people like me should be the minority, I guess," Chen Li said uncertainly.

"I see."

"Also, Elysia, don't imagine me as being too good. I'm willing to give both the Herrscher of the Void's corpse and her Herrscher Core to Moth Chasing Flame because I want to exchange them for more resources from Moth Chasing Flame," Chen Li said.

For example, Soul Steel.

However, Chen Li was not sure whether Moth Chasing Flame possessed something like Soul Steel at this point, so he did not say it aloud.

"Mm-hm, mm-hm. The way you keep denying your own kindness is even more interesting," Elysia said with great interest.

"..."

Someone once said that only kind people would pretend to be bad after suffering a severe blow.

Bad people, meanwhile, often disguised themselves as good people.

Those words were not entirely accurate, but they still made some sense.

"Sigh, Chen Li, why aren't you saying anything? Chat with me, or I can't guarantee I won't fall asleep from boredom while driving," Elysia complained.

"Don't say something so terrifying with that teasing expression! What do you want to talk about?"

"I'm just interviewing you about your emotional journey."

"Stop interviewing me. If you keep it up, I might really keep the Herrscher of the Void all to myself."

"Yes, yes."

"..."

Having the Herrscher of the Void meant nothing to Chen Li. What mattered was making sure this world no longer had a Herrscher of the Void.

The Second God Key: Eden Star was not as destructive as the other God Keys, but its significance was immense.

Taking away the Second Herrscher Core could create consequences that might even indirectly lead to the destruction of the world.

And Chen Li, having caused such a huge disturbance, naturally received an enormous number of Spacetime Crystals—Starstones.

On one side was the temptation of immense instant profits from disrupting time and space to destroy the world; on the other was the patience of slowly reaping rewards by creating and spreading miracles.

However, Chen Li was not worried that he would fail to resist. After all, Miracle Crystals were more precious than Starstones.

Besides, although Chen Li did sometimes have a wicked sense of humor, he had no interest in Destroy the world.

Just as Chen Li was thinking about how to obtain more Miracle Crystals, he suddenly felt a weight on his head.

Elysia's slender fingers, like soft feathers carrying a faint warmth, gently stroked Chen Li's head.

Chen Li turned and saw Elysia with the corners of her lips slightly raised.

"Chen Li, you're so good at resisting temptation. This is encouragement from a beautiful girl, so be sure to treasure it." Elysia gently patted Chen Li's head.

"People who know how to resist temptation can always accomplish great things. I hope the road ahead of you is smooth all the way," Elysia said cheerfully.

Elysia had never been stingy with offering encouragement to others.

"So..."

"So?" Elysia tilted her ear toward Chen Li's two words.

Would he say something embarrassing?

Or would he get flustered and say something tsundere?

Elysia was looking forward to it.

"So, do you admit that the beauty of the goddess of Pure Beauty, Idrila, is unparalleled beneath the heavens?" Chen Li tilted his head.

"Hmm, Chen Li, your attempt to change the subject is so clumsy. And has no one told you not to use the words 'unparalleled beneath the heavens' to describe another beautiful girl in front of a beautiful girl?" Just as Chen Li had expected, Elysia puffed out her cheeks in anger.

Chen Li shrugged.

You want to make me embarrassed? Patting my head isn't enough!

Proselytizing progress: 1/30

The transaction with Mobius and Moth Chasing Flame.

"Name?"

"Chen Li."

"Gender?"

"...Female."

"Really?" The other party was shocked, thinking it was some kind of outsider trait.

"Of course it's fake. Do I really need to report information like my gender myself?" Chen Li complained.

"It's all for rigor. Mm, rigor. Just cooperate, little brother." The burly man seated across the table from Chen Li scratched his head awkwardly.
