The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

"The Masked Fool...we'll remember this!"

"It's Masked Fool Fireworks, don't get it wrong," Chen Li continued to shout.

Anyway, they'll forget about it soon enough. It's not a bad thing to tarnish the reputation of fireworks.

Anyway, Chen Li was quite happy.

As for why we want to tarnish the reputation of fireworks?

Because Hanabi hasn't said "zao shang hao" to herself for two days!

"Clang, clang... Time to forge another artifact. But I only have 23 crystals left. Sigh, this is really frustrating."

"Oh, right, I haven't claimed the two crystals I got from completing the two newbie quests yet."

Chen Li usually prefers to claim his rewards all at once after completing a series of beginner tasks, but it seems he'll have to make an exception this time.

[Ding! Congratulations on acquiring a new professional trait—overspending.]

"Wait, how did I overspend? I just made an exception and got a few crystals first! Game planner, come out here!"

First of all, I'm not called a planner, I'm called "Miracle".

Secondly, my professional traits are beyond my control, and even the Artifact Forging Guide is completely beyond my control. All I can do is help you access the Artifact Forging Guide and see what its underlying code logic is.

"Oh... let me see what kind of trash trait I got." Chen Li was sullen, unable to shift the blame to anyone else.

However, after looking at the attributes of this new profession trait, Chen Li felt that this trait seemed pretty good.

[Overspending]: You can obtain an equivalent amount of crystals by mortgaging a Miracle Card. The Miracle Card will be temporarily invalid during the mortgaging period until the loan is repaid.

Chen Li knew that Miracle Cards could be converted into Crystals, but that conversion was irreversible and yielded very few.

Now that this new trait has been introduced, Chen Li feels that his previously useless Miracle Card has finally come in handy—[Soul Severance]!

The effect of this miracle card is most effective within 24 hours after Chen Li destroys the Four Souls Prison. Without the effects 1 and 2, which grant +1 damage to treasures that bear the fate of the world, Chen Li currently has no use for it.

"Anyway, I'm sorry to trouble you for now, Duanhun!" Chen Li "sold" the Miracle Card without hesitation.

The Soul-Shattering Miracle Card turned gray the moment it appeared, and Chen Li's account gained an extra 30 crystals.

"57 crystals...that's enough." Seeing this number of crystals, Chen Li nodded in satisfaction, then threw a handful of crystals and a feather from the Feather of Dust into the Miracle Flame.

[Memory], [Consciousness], [Transformation]... vibrant entries appeared one by one, but Chen Li still felt it wasn't enough, so he logged in the entry he had just acquired—[Fictional Historian].

"Come on! Bring on the big one!" Chen Li cheered.

Chapter 142 Chen Li: Otto, kneel down, I have something to tell you.

While Siegfried was chasing after Sirin with the Judgment of Heavenly Fire, Chen Li was forging a wondrous artifact.

While Siegfried unleashed his ultimate skill six times in three minutes, Chen Li was forging a wondrous artifact.

While Siegfried was unable to use his ultimate move due to insufficient energy, Chen Li was forging a wondrous artifact.

While the disheveled Sirin summoned Honkai Beasts to attack Siegfried after seeing that Siegfried was running out of energy, Chen Li was forging a rare artifact.

While Sirin watched incredulously as Siegfried devoured a Honkai Beast to replenish his energy and then unleashed a powerful attack on her, Chen Li was forging a wondrous artifact.

While Sirin's left hand was severed by Siegfried's Judgment of Heaven's Fire, Chen Li was forging a wondrous artifact.

While Sirin was being trampled to the ground by Siegfried, and the Tranquil Gem and the Infinite Corridor that imprisoned Cecilia were successfully separated from Sirin's body, Chen Li was still forging a wondrous artifact.

"Ah, am I dead?"

"I can't feel anything, except the cold."

"God, where are you?"

"Help me, I can't hear your voice anymore."

Xilin felt her body falling endlessly.

His own companions, his own mother, his own family... no one could respond to him.

In the end, I was all alone.

The trauma of having the Tranquility Gem forcibly taken away caused cracks to appear in the Herrscher of the Void core within Sirin's body.

The next moment, the Herrscher of the Void's power went out of control.

Countless imaginary pillars emerged, and the intensity of Honkai energy on the Siberian plain continued to increase and spread outward.

It is expected to pollute the entire Siberian plain within two hours.

After the Herrscher of the Void's power went out of control, the Infinite Corridor that had been controlling Cecilia also completely collapsed. When Cecilia came out of the Infinite Corridor, she saw Siegfried, whose muscle tissue was almost torn apart, many bones were broken, and he was on the verge of death.

"I didn't expect to encounter the user of the Black Abyss White Flower here. It's clear that she is very powerful. If it were her, she might be able to save Siegfried, who has exhausted his life force. Unfortunately, she doesn't have time left."

"The Second Herrscher's core rampage will release core energy that will continue to spread until it engulfs half of the Asian continent."

"It's regrettable that with your current strength, you can't stop this disaster. You and your wife will die here. Farewell, my successor." Kevin, connected to Siegfried's subconscious, silently watched everything that was about to perish.

"Hey, Kevin, nice to meet you." A voice rang out beside Kevin, who was startled.

"Or rather... it's been a long time." Chen Li slowly removed his hood.

"..." Kevin quietly looked at the figure with its back to him.

Does this guy see himself or not?

"Ah, behind me? Oh." Soon the person seemed to get a hint and turned to look at Kevin.

Kevin's pupils contracted slightly the moment the other person turned around.

I remember this person!

The person who once gave me a guide to authentic local love quotes.

Later, after Kevin joined the Firemoth, he heard that this person was the Firemoth's short-lived head of the engineering department.

After leaving behind countless weapons for the Fire-Chasing Moth, it mysteriously disappeared.

However, for some reason, whether it was Virvi, Alicia, or even Qianjie and Ying, they all firmly believed that this person would eventually reappear.

Unfortunately, he was unable to meet the person before him again until the very end.

And then, the other party reappeared at this turning point in fate.

"Although I can't see your expression, you must be quite surprised to see me."

"So...would you like to see a performance?"

"A performance that...saved the entire civilization!"

Are you still grieving the loss of your loved one?

Are you still grieving over the destruction of civilization?

"Can the time be changed?"

Can civilization be fabricated?

Can history be rewritten?

"Could the departed Herrscher of Humanity have a better ending?"

"As the last hope of the entire civilization, how exciting would it be for the thirteen heroes to live ordinary lives?"

"But can the collapse be suppressed by one's own power? And transformed into endless energy for the transformation of civilization?"

"Why did I, the former Minister of Engineering of this civilization, leave without saying goodbye? And why did I never reappear until the end of civilization?"

"All of this will be revealed today."

"So, why don't we stay here a little longer? Until a miracle happens?" Chen Li invited Kevin.

Chen had no other choice but to leave.

Chen Li's excessive desire to perform made him unable to bear showing off in front of others without any audience.

The more unique the audience's ideas were, the more excited Chen Li became.

Countless imaginary pillars pierced through everything, yet within three meters of Chen Li, there seemed to be an infinity barrier that repelled everything.

Kevin, connected to his descendants through the consciousness of the Holy Mark, followed Chen Li past Siegfried and Cecilia, who were protected by the colossal robot Alahato, driven by the consciousness of Welt, and were only safe and sound thanks to the help of countless imaginary pillars.

The shield generated by the activation of the Moon Throne's defense mode bought Cecilia and Siegfried time.

Meanwhile, Chen Li, with his Herrscher of the Void powers almost identical to Sirin's, had already reached Sirin's side, where the Herrscher core was berserk.

Chen Li's proficiency with the Herrscher of the Void's power model is rapidly increasing.

Because the power to go berserk is also a power.

Looking at Xilin, who exuded an aura of loneliness, Chen Li patted her head.

Chen Li knew that Cecilia was about to use her entire body of holy blood to quell the rampaging Honkai energy, in order to buy Siegfried the opportunity to use the Judgment of Heavenly Fire to hit Sirin and stop the core from going berserk and destroying the entire Siberia.

Chen Li didn't intend to stop it, but he also didn't intend to stand idly by.

The wounds inflicted on the people of the Siberian Plains by the Honkai are already present and continue to spread. Without the purification of the Holy Blood, countless people will die from the Honkai.

Chen Li simply kept watching the extraction progress of this entry above his head.
