The author doesn't really like reading comments, but regarding some negative ones, I still feel the need to explain.
Regarding those who say I'm a "cloud player," I hereby declare that I am a player of Honkai Impact 3rd, Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero.
I've been playing Honkai Impact 3rd since 2017; although I haven't been a perfect attendance player, I've played for over 1,200 days on and off. I finished everything normally before Part 1.5, and I also watched the story of Part 2 on Bilibili.
However, the author is not a lore-expert, so some mistakes are inevitable, though I will try my best to avoid them.
Regarding the explanation of the protagonist's abilities.
Although some people might be misled by the book title, I wrote in the synopsis that I have merged more than one game.
It's not that I didn't think of other names.
For example, Lord of Rock Heavenly Star, I am Rex Lapis, etc., but in the end, I chose Star of Eden.
First, can the Herrscher of Rock actually control rocks?
In the naming conventions of the Previous Era, the attack method of the previous Herrscher of Rock was to manipulate rocks, so it was named after its characteristics.
Even though it was indirectly manipulated through gravity.
And in the current era, it was discovered that the true ability of Chen Tianwu is to control gravity and attraction, so it was renamed the Herrscher of Stars.
Moreover, I am completely playing on a voice actor joke here.
Welt from Honkai: Star Rail and Zhongli are voiced by the same person. (It seems Welt in Honkai Gakuen 2 is also the same.)
Secondly, is it unreasonable to control rocks?
My physics isn't great, but as one of the four fundamental forces, what is the problem with controlling rocks?
Without gravity, the Earth would have fallen apart long ago, okay?
Besides, since it's called the Herrscher of Stars, is it hard to control a planet?
Gravity was never a simple attribute; any object with mass has a certain amount of gravity.
Rocks have mass, and mass carries gravity, so controlling gravity is equivalent to controlling the material of rocks—no problem there.
Furthermore, the authority of a Herrscher is never just its literal meaning; the Herrscher of Wind doesn't just control wind, and the Herrscher of Thunder doesn't just control thunder—those are just external manifestations.
I think it makes perfect sense.
Next is the issue regarding the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Can the Ice Staff and the Star of Eden fuse into Meteor Ice?
I just wanted to write it that way; treat it as a budget version.
Besides, as long as I want to write it, I could even fuse the Ice God Pearl and the Ice Staff into the Ice God Staff.
And if the Star Staff and the Star of Eden fused into a Martial Soul Fusion Skill that was even more bugged, wouldn't that be even more unreasonable?
I'll give you two hints: Harmony and Destruction.
As for the protagonist's identity, I didn't choose it blindly either.
The Sun Martial Soul mutation fits the Lord of Rock Heavenly Star of Zhongli.
Even the Purple Imperial Heaven-Destroying Dragon bloodline has its uses, corresponding to the Exuvia of the Immortal Ancestor.
However, those who can read up to this point have certainly accepted the author's imagination and settings.
The author welcomes those who like reading this book.
For those who don't, I won't force it.
Everyone has their own preferences.
Thank you to the readers who have been following along; thank you for your monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and tips.
The author bows to you here.
Ahem... having said that, happy May Day holiday.
I'm taking a day off from updating.
Hehe!
