Cangxuan also knew that the tree had corrected the world. The tree had corrected the world and sent the three future cores that Ling Xi possessed back to the future.

Finally, Cangxuan silently looked at Ling Xi and asked, "So, Ling Xi, what you need now is the Herrscher Core. Once you have the Herrscher Core, the effect of enhancing Honkai Energy Adaptability will be restored?"

"Yes, that's theoretically true, but I don't have Herrscher Core right now, and..."

Ling Xi stroked his chin slightly and said with some helplessness, "In this era, it's unlikely that Herrscher will appear unless we directly raise the level of human civilization and force the birth of Herrscher."

"But doing so will most likely result in Honkai Beast rather than Herrscher."

Cangxuan pursed his lips and said, "After all, the appearance of the Herrscher has other reasons besides Honkai Energy, so this trick is definitely not going to work. Besides, the Doctor asked us to carry out the Project Fireseed so that humanity can reproduce, not to come here and cause destruction."

"Forehead..."

Ling Xi paused for a moment, but did not refute. After all, if Artificial Herrscher were to be created, Chiyou would most likely appear as well, and facing Chiyou, plus the Herrscher...

Ling Xi wasn't very confident either. Things... seemed a bit troublesome. Could it be that she couldn't do anything again this time?

"Hey, what are you guys discussing?"

At this moment, Danzhu suddenly interjected, looking puzzled, "Isn't it just Herrscher Core? Didn't we have thirteen Herrscher Core in the Previous Era? Why are we waiting for this civilization's Herrscher Core?"

Ling Xi "..."

Cangxuan "..."

"Ahem, of course I know that. I was just saying it casually."

Ling Xi quickly offered an explanation, but in reality, he hadn't even thought of the Divine Key. Although it should have been easy to figure out, in his haste, he actually overlooked the correct answer.

"Yes, that's right, that's what I think too."

Cangxuan nodded silently, trying to conceal his thoughts, and said, "After all, although we don't have the Herrscher Core of the current civilization, we do have the Divine Key of the Previous Era. Although most of the Divine Key have been handed over to their respective mission holders, I think there should still be about five or six Divine Key in the base, but..."

"To use the core of the Divine Key, we must first dismantle the Divine Key itself. But Divine Key has its own mission, so here's the problem..."

Cangxuan silently looked at the two of them and asked, "Among us, is there anyone who can create or restore Divine Key?"

Ling Xi "..."

Danzhu "..."

What a load of rubbish! While the Divine Key of the Previous Era were inspired by Mobius, who refined the concept, the creation and design were basically Vill-V's responsibility. But now...

Not to mention that Mobius and Mebius are both in hibernation, the key point is... that Vill-V, who was the best at creating Divine Key, had already passed away 50,000 years ago.

Is this okay?

At this moment, Hua took out her Feathered Dust and said, "This is the Divine Key Feathered Dust made from the Herrscher Core. Although it is very useful to me, you can take it apart if you need it."

Chapter 515: How about... taking apart a Divine Key for fun?

"How about this?"

Hua took out his Feathered Dust and said, "Although I don't know much about the creation of Divine Key, the core of the Feathered Dust is the Herrscher Core of the Eighth Herrscher. You can take it if you need it."

Although the Feathered Dust was extremely important to her, as it was currently her only way to eliminate the side effects of her Hypervariable Factor, but...

Compared to the matters concerning Cangxuan and Danzhu, his own side effects seemed less important.

"No."

Before Hua could finish speaking, Cangxuan immediately rejected the idea, saying, "Your side effects require the use of Feathered Dust. Otherwise, it might be okay in the short term, but don't forget that you are the most important executor of the Project Fireseed. Several thousand years might be a conservative estimate for you. Do you think you can continue without Feathered Dust?"

"If you were here, my side effects shouldn't be too severe."

Hua also gave his own answer, saying seriously, "Moreover, compared to my side effects, your situation obviously needs more attention."

"Then you wouldn't need your Feathered Dust."

Cangxuan shrugged and laughed, "Although most of the Herrscher Core have become Divine Key, I remember there are still a few cores that haven't been made into Divine Key. And those cores are all kept at the headquarters base. We can just go back to headquarters and retrieve the Herrscher Core."

"I think so too."

Ling Xi nodded in agreement. During the time she spent with them, Ling Xi learned about Hua's situation and why Mobius would give the Feathered Dust to Hua. This was not only because Hua was suitable for using the Feathered Dust, but also because she needed the power of the Feathered Dust.

So even if it's to save Cangxuan and Danzhu, I can't dismantle Feathered Dust, and besides...

Besides Feathered Dust, didn't we also have the Xuanyuan Sword at home?

Um... never mind, the Xuanyuan Sword is a very important part of the Project Fireseed for the Shenzhou civilization, so...

Since neither Feathered Dust nor the Xuanyuan Sword can be touched, the only option left is to go to headquarters to retrieve the Herrscher Core, as Cangxuan suggested.

"But I remember the Doctor hid the remaining Herrscher Core, right?"

Danzhu then spoke up, saying with some hesitation, "We know the location of the Divine Key, but the location of the Herrscher Core should only be known to the Doctor, right?"

"Don't worry, I have a way."

Cangxuan smiled slightly and said, "Although the Doctor and the others are in hibernation and we can't wake them up at will, we can still activate the Elysian Realm. The Flame-Chasing Moths have left their memories in the Elysian Realm, and the Doctor is no exception. So why don't we just go and ask the Doctor in the Elysian Realm?"

"Hmm... it seems like it could work."

Danzhu nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with Cangxuan's words. However, she then thought of another question, "Speaking of which, the Doctor's last memory synchronization should have been about a week before our hibernation, and I remember the Doctor storing the Herrscher Core the day before hibernation, so..."

Danzhu looked at Cangxuan with a serious expression and asked, "Does the Doctor's memory know the location of the Herrscher Core?"

"Huh? This..."

Faced with Danzhu's question, Cangxuan was also stunned. He hesitated for a while before calmly saying, "Don't worry, the one who knows the Doctor best is definitely the Doctor herself. Therefore, even if the Doctor's memory does not contain the memory of the Herrscher Core, I think the Doctor should be able to guess where her main body put the Herrscher Core, so it should be fine... um, probably!"

Danzhu: "..." Sister, could you please not use a question?

"Don't worry, little sister."

Cangxuan patted his chest and said seriously, "There are at least five or six unused Divine Key at headquarters. If we can't find Herrscher Core, we can just pick one and dismantle it."

"Hmm, that makes sense..."

Danzhu completely agreed: dismantle an unimportant Divine Key, then repair Divine Key again after the future Doctor and the others wake up—perfect!

Ling Xi: "..." Dismantle the Divine Key...?

Aside from the Divine Key used by the Flame-Chasing Moths to execute their plans, as long as we don't dismantle the Heavenly Fire Self-Destruction and the Black Abyss White Flower, the rest... shouldn't be too important.

Ultimately, the four devised a new plan: to travel to the headquarters to retrieve the Herrscher Core or the Divine Key, and then fuse it with Ling Xi, allowing Ling Xi to regain the ability to enhance the Honkai Energy of others.

As for who will go to headquarters, Ling Xi is definitely a given, and secondly...

"Sister, you went last time, this time... it's my turn, right?"

Danzhu spoke first, clearly eager to seize this opportunity to go out with Ling Xi.

"Oh, little sister, it's not that I don't want to give in to you, it's just that..."

Cangxuan smiled slightly and said, "Going to the headquarters requires a lot of preparation, and even after arriving at the base, there will still be various tasks to be done. Are you... sure you can handle it?"

"Hmm... I think it should work."

Danzhu seemed a little unsure of himself. There was nothing he could do; he had slacked off too much back then, and three years had passed, so he had forgotten most of what he had learned in the lab.

"Little Xuan, why don't you come with me?"

Seeing Danzhu's appearance, Ling Xi decisively chose Cangxuan. There was no other way; this matter was too important, and Ling Xi didn't want to involve a troublemaker...

"Oh, little sister, it's not my fault."

Cangxuan looked at Danzhu with a smug expression. This time, it wasn't just him saying it, even Ling Xi was saying it too.

"Magnificent..."

Danzhu silently looked behind her and saw Hua.

What does "Hua???" have to do with me?

"Eh..."

However, Hua finally gave his opinion, "I also think it would be better to let Cangxuan go, after all, this matter is too important, and Cangxuan is more steady."

"Hmm, three to one..."

Cangxuan patted Danzhu on the shoulder and said with a heartfelt smile, "Accept reality, sister..."

Danzhu "..."

"Snort..."

In the end, Danzhu could only snort. Even though she was still somewhat dissatisfied, there was nothing she could do. She regretted that she had been slacking off all along.

"Alright, Danzhu."

Ling Xi could only comfort her, "Don't worry, I'll definitely take you with me next time I go out, okay?"

"Tch, that's exactly what you said last time..."

Danzhu just rolled her eyes at Ling Xi. After all, this guy had said the same thing when he went out with his sister last time, and what happened? He still said "next time, definitely."

Chapter 516: Danzhu plays games, Ling Xi plays... a pinball game!

Although the decision to go to headquarters has been made, Ling Xi and Cangxuan only returned two days ago, so there's no need to rush. Let's rest for a while first.

Anyway, the Divine Key and the Herrscher Core are in the headquarters base, they can't escape.

Even if something unexpected happens and the headquarters loses its Divine Key and Herrscher Core, they can still dismantle the Xuanyuan Sword or the Feathered Dust. Of course, this is only a last resort. If it's not absolutely necessary, Ling Xi still doesn't want to dismantle such important Divine Key as the Feathered Dust and the Xuanyuan Sword.

"Get out of here, I don't know you at all, hmph!"

That night, when Ling Xi came to find Danzhu looked disgusted and continued playing her game. Clearly, she was still very unhappy about what had happened that day.

"Oh..."

But Ling Xi had spent so much time with the Doctor and Elysia, she had seen it all, so she decisively hugged Danzhu and laughed, "What, are you still angry?"

"Hmph, no."

Danzhu curled her lip and snorted, "After all, we weren't familiar with each other to begin with, hmph!"

"Hehe..."

Seeing Danzhu's displeased expression, Ling Xi felt it was immoral, but she couldn't help but laugh. The girl looked even cuter when she was angry than usual.

However, Ling Xi could sense that the girl was only verbally complaining, but her body showed no signs of struggling. So Ling Xi became even bolder and picked up Danzhu, placing her on her lap.

"Alright, Danzhu, I'm doing this for your future, aren't I?"

While gently stroking Danzhu, Ling Xi whispered, "After all, if you two don't hurry up and enhance your Honkai Energy, then we probably only have a few decades left to be together. So this trip to headquarters is very important."

"Ugh..."

Feeling Ling Xi's actions, Danzhu blushed slightly, but did not struggle. However, she still did not let go of the game controller, seemingly intending to express her attitude through silence.

"Don't worry, once I obtain the Herrscher Core, I'll be Honkai Energy. As for the future..."

Ling Xi gently hugged her and whispered in her ear, "We still have thousands of years to go. By then, we can go wherever we want, right? Of course, when that time really comes, I think you'll probably still stay at home."

As she spoke, Ling Xi gently applied more pressure to her hand...

"Mmm..."

Danzhu gave a soft hum, but still didn't want to answer Ling Xi, concentrating on playing her game...

Ling Xi "..."

"What a dedicated gamer..."

Seeing that Danzhu was so patient, Ling Xi decided to stop pretending and decided to play games with Danzhu herself... cough cough, play games!

So, he picked up Danzhu, lifted her gently, and then gently put her down...

In an instant, the armor combined!

Danzhu: "???"

"You..."

Danzhu suddenly wanted to curse, and even paused in her game!

"Cough cough, your character's health bar is almost gone!"

Ling Xi calmly reminded Danzhu...
