Therefore, Ling Xi felt it was still necessary to keep a trump card up her sleeve against Otto, as for Li Sushang...

It's all thanks to my own skill!

Also, I wanted to make up for not getting to play as Li Sushang in the game. Mihoyo is such a terrible developer; they don't release Cangxuan, Danzhu, or Shigure Kira. I finally got to Li Sushang's storyline in the main story, but then...

Your plot took a direct turn into Previous Era, and as a result, the beloved Miss Li Sushang disappeared!

So, since we can't play as Li Sushang in the game, we can still try it in the real world. After all, she is the grand-disciple of the Immortal. When we take the little girl Li Sushang to visit the resurrected Immortal to wish him a Happy New Year, the scene will definitely be very interesting!

Chapter 559: Otto's Priest Storyline...

"Ling Xi ..."

Back in the hall, Klein silently looked at Ling Xi and asked, "What are your plans now? Will you stay here to hibernate, or go somewhere else?"

Klein was also Ling Xi's next plans. After all, Cangxuan Danzhu was currently in hibernation, and Hua had also lost contact. That's why Klein asked Ling Xi about her next plans, whether she would go into hibernation or something else.

"I will stay in Europe for a while before returning to Shenzhou."

Ling Xi smiled. He had already made his plans for the future: to stay in Europe and get to know Otto. At the very least, he would make an acquaintance so he wouldn't be too embarrassed to ask for help later.

Of course, Ling Xi didn't want to be called an old friend by Otto, after all... this guy's favorite thing to sacrifice is his old friends.

"Is that so..."

Klein nodded silently and said, "Since you're not going into hibernation, then leave as soon as possible. I need to reseal the base quickly, since equipment ages very fast in an oxygen-rich environment."

"Wait a minute!"

Ling Xi asked directly, "Klein, is there a place in the base where Herrscher Core exists?"

As Ling Xi spoke, she took out the Black Box and said, "If it's here, the Black Box's time will stop, which is equivalent to wasting five hundred years of time to weaken her, so I still hope to keep it in the base."

"Can."

Klein did not refuse, saying, "Just put it in the Divine Key Armory. It can isolate all Honkai Energy connections there, since it was originally made to target the Herrscher Core in the Divine Key."

"Understood..."

Without hesitation, Ling Xi decisively placed the Black Box into the Divine Key Armory, weakened her for another five hundred years, and ensured that she could easily deal with the Doctor after he woke up!

"Klein?"

After leaving the Divine Key Armory, Ling Xi looked directly at Klein and asked, "Why is there only the Seven Thunders of Retribution left in the Divine Key? What about the others?"

When Ling Xi last came here, there was still half of the Divine Key, but now only the Seven Thunders of Retribution remain!

"It's been taken away."

Klein said quietly, "Kevin came back and took away the Black Abyss White Flower and the Oath of Judah. He said he found a suitable candidate. This was one of the experimental projects originally planned, so I did not refuse!"

Ling Xi: "..." Even if you wanted to refuse, you couldn't refuse Ancestor Kevin...

"Was the Star Sea Harmony not recovered?"

Ling Xi inquired about the Star Sea Harmony. Over four thousand years ago, he used the Star of Eden to perish together with Chiyou. Logically speaking...

Fu Hua and the other two should go and retrieve Star Sea Harmony, since they had a spaceship back then!

"No."

Klein shook his head slightly and said, "Because according to satellite positioning, the Star Sea Harmony does not seem to exist in the real world. It is suspected that it has drifted to another space, so the recovery plan cannot be carried out."

"What? Not in the real world?"

Ling Xi was a little dumbfounded. Good heavens, this thing actually floated into another space?

Holy crap, what will happen to Joyce in the future? Without the Star of Eden, how is Joyce supposed to fight Otto?

Um... never mind, after all, I lost it myself. I'll look for it when I have time after I get back to Shenzhou.

As for Judah and the Black Abyss White Flower, if nothing unexpected happens, they should be in Schicksal's hands now. Kallen's weapon is Judah, and it seems that Otto gave the Black Abyss White Flower to the Saniat Family to use. Um... I'm not very clear about the specific details!

But one thing is certain: Judah and the Black Abyss White Flower seem to have been in the hands of Schicksal from this moment on!

However, this is for the best. After all, after Otto unified Schicksal became the only hope for humanity in this civilization to fight against the Honkai. So it is a good thing that Judah and the Black Abyss White Flower are in the hands of Schicksal!

Although Ling Xi didn't think that humans in this era could fully master the Divine Key, it was still the Divine Key. Even without activating its power, it was still very powerful to use it to smash people!

For example, Judah alone weighs nearly 200 kilograms, and his height is even taller than a certain launcher!

"Klein, I'll be leaving now."

Now that everything that needed to be done had been done and the two girls had successfully entered hibernation, Ling Xi naturally planned to leave!

"Okay, Ling Xi."

Klein nodded and said, "I hope that next time we meet, you'll be here to wake up the Doctor and the others. Also... before the Doctor wakes up, you'd better find an excuse about Cangxuan Danzhu, Yae Sakura, and Yae Rin!"

Ling Xi: "..." Are you deliberately picking a fight?

"Sigh, now... I'm all alone again."

Back on the ground, Ling Xi smiled helplessly. Just half an hour ago, he was all lovey-dovey with his two wives, and now he was all alone, and...

Five hundred years to go!

Of course, if I can find Fu Hua in a decade or so, it shouldn't be too boring, and by the way...

I can also go and see if Immortal Fu Hua's flat tablet is really because of her traitorous disciple!

However, before that, let's go talk to Otto first...

Venice, Italy, is located on a small island not far from the port...

A golden-haired man was leading the prayers of the crowd. As a monastery that trained clergy, he was quite well-known in the area and had a considerable number of followers...

Ling Xi also arrived here silently and saw that very familiar person, Otto Apocalypse!

Amen...

A moment later, the prayer ended, and Otto saw Ling Xi!

"Hello, guests who have come from afar."

After dismissing everyone, Otto took the initiative to approach Ling Xi and bowed slightly.

"Hello, Father Otto!"

Ling Xi returned the greeting and asked with a smile, "How did you know I came from afar?"

"Because you have an Asian face."

Otto smiled slightly, "I once had the privilege of visiting the East, so I naturally know that it is a country very far from here."

"That time with Kallen?"

Ling Xi directly mentioned Kallen.

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Otto immediately became serious and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"My name is Ling Xi!"

Ling Xi didn't hide anything and directly revealed her identity. If nothing unexpected happened, Otto would definitely recognize her, since Kallen would probably mention her to Otto.

"Ling Xi?"

Otto was taken aback for a moment, his expression changing slightly, before he smiled and said, "Ling Xi, would it be convenient for us to talk somewhere else?"

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. We will follow Father Otto's arrangements."

Ling Xi didn't stand on ceremony, after all, some things are indeed not suitable to be discussed in public, and who knows... there might be Schicksal spy here.

"Please..."

Otto also invited Ling Xi directly to the monastery...

Chapter 560: Trading everything in the future for the possibility of Kallen!

"Kallen ...she told me about you, but..."

In Otto's private room, he silently looked at Ling Xi and asked, "I don't seem to know you. Why did you say you knew me when Kallen was in the Far East?"

"Because I really know him."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "Moreover, I also know that Kallen is very likely to sacrifice herself after returning, but it is her own choice after all, so we did not stop her."

Otto remained silent. To be honest, if it meant Kallen could live, he would rather Kallen stayed in the Far East, but alas...

"Then why do you know me?"

Otto immediately abandoned the topic of Kallen and went straight to asking Ling Xi the crucial question. He was certain he didn't know Ling Xi, had never met Ling Xi, and...

Ling Xi is from Shenzhou, and he met Kallen in the Far East. How did he know me? Moreover, according to Kallen's description, Ling Xi seems to know me very well, even... better than I know myself!

"Father Otto, I don't think this question is important."

Ling Xi didn't want to tell Otto too much at this moment, but simply said, "I didn't come to see you today just to chat, but to make a deal with you."

"Trade?"

Otto's gaze darkened, and he chuckled, "Heh, do you think I have anything worth trading right now? Or rather... do you think you have anything I need to trade?"

"Of course."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "For example... what if I said I could revive Kallen?"

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Otto immediately became serious. He really wanted to ask Ling Xi how she did it, but...

Otto didn't immediately believe this illogical thing; he just stared at Ling Xi silently.

"I know you might not believe it, but it really can be done!"

Ling Xi was too lazy to explain further and laughed, "Let me put it this way, you know the Immortal Crimson Kite of Shenzhou, right?"

"That's natural..."

Otto nodded silently. The Immortal Crimson Kite, in that battle, it really was the Immortal Crimson Kite alone who repelled the entire army of Schicksal. That kind of power was truly a power that only an immortal could control.

However, according to the news brought back by Kallen, Mount Tai Xu, where the Immortal Crimson Kite was located, has been destroyed, and the immortal's whereabouts are unknown.

Otherwise, I would have taken Kallen to Shenzhou long ago.

"That makes things easier."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "Eighteen years from now, if you can unify the Schicksal, then come to Shenzhou to find me, or you can find Immortal Crimson Kite. I will tell you the answer then. Of course, if you can't even do that, then you don't need to come, because..."

"If you can't even do this, then even if I tell you the answer to resurrect Kallen, you still won't be able to do anything."

"I think you have ulterior motives."

Otto simply looked at Ling Xi silently, "There's something complicated in your eyes, but..."

Otto looked at Ling Xi seriously for a moment, and finally said, "I believe you didn't lie to me!"

"Ah, that's natural."

Ling Xi laughed again, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Besides, as I said, this is a deal. As for reviving Kallen, I think... you should know the answer soon enough, and then you'll know whether I was lying to you or not."

Based on the timeline, Otto should be coming into contact with the Void Archives soon, or rather, the Soul Steel Computer, and Otto will gain relevant knowledge from it!

Thus began his journey to godhood. So Ling Xi wasn't worried about whether Otto would believe it, or rather... even if Otto didn't believe it, he had to believe it for Kallen's sake!

"..."

In response to Ling Xi's answer, Otto remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

Although he was willing to do anything for Kallen, but...

Before that, I must first protect myself, because I must live in order to find Kallen!

And what Ling Xi mentioned...

Unifying the Schicksal in eighteen years was no easy feat for him. After all, the forces within the Mandate of Schicksal were now intricately intertwined and showing signs of fragmentation. With the power he currently held, unifying the Mandate of Schicksal was a formidable challenge...

It has to be said, this is very difficult.
