chapter 9

"So this is how it ends? After 3487 reboots, humans ended up in such a pathetic way? I can't decide whether to laugh at them or be disappointed that they couldn't get further... What do you think? My dear other half (fake me)?"

The one who spoke was a girl with long white hair and opaque yellow eyes. She was standing on the surface of the moon watching planet Earth, which at this moment was the vision of hell itself. The planet that was once blue and full of life was now red and completely dead and inhospitable.

The white-haired girl spoke in a monotonous and bored tone while looking at the dead planet.

A few meters away from her there was a white shadow that was unstable and constantly oscillating from disappearing at any time. Although the shadow had humanoid form it was not possible to see its features.

"..." The shadow said nothing.

"This last attempt until it was not bad. They managed to create a method to destroy Honkai. But instead of aiming at the cocoon of the purpose they decided to aim at Honkai's will, that's not funny? Humanity was trying to destroy their terrible enemy but they didn't even know they destroyed the biggest contributor to the war against Honkai, it's so laughable." The girl with white hair can not fail to give some small laughs of mockery.

"..." The shadow continued in silence with its existence slowly disappearing.

"The next reboot will be the last. If humanity cannot meet Honkai's expectations then the cocoon will look for another planet and leave this planet dead behind." The girl with white hair spoke in a monotonous tone.

"The ... humanity ... will not give up ..."

Using the little strength that remains the shadow spoke a short sentence before disappearing from that place.

"I hope it is like this or all these restarts would have been a waste of time." The girl with white hair spoke in a tidy tone.

And so the consciousness of the shadow was extinguished and fell into the darkness.

She thought that moment would be her last ...

But even she, who was countless times referred to as Honkai's will, with her calculations could not predict what she was awaiting.

That this would not be her end.

************

Present, within the spiritual sea of Ju Ran.

"How about we start with the presentations? My name is ..." (Ju Ran)

"There is no need for this, I already know about two since the first day of the disappointment of the martial spirit, you are Ju Ran and Qian Renxue.

Ju Ran tried to break the silence that was here with a presentation but he was interrupted by the gray girl who spoke calmly and inexpressively.

"What do you want with us? And how did you appear here?" Qian Renxue went to the front of Ju Ran asked cautiously. She was holding a sword in her hand.

"There is no need for this level of warning against me. After all, although I have not yet understood why I am in this situation after so long, I know that at least we have no reason to house hostility between us since we will be together for a lot of time." The girl with gray hair spoke in a calm and inexpressive tone for both of them.

"What do you mean by that?" Qian Renxue asked her eyes narrowing with suspicion.

Qian Renxue asked suspiciously while she pointed her sword to the gray girl.

"Are you my martial spirit?" Ju Ran asked with a mix of doubt and certainty. He managed to feel a very deep connection between the two.

But at the same time he was also shocked, because from her appearance he remembered a certain mobile game where the plot is packed tragedy for all the characters.

"Answering your question, yes, I'm your martial spirit. You can call me Void Archives." The girl who named Void Archives spoke.

"Void Archives? What a strange name is this?" Qian Renxue strange the name Void Archives.

After all the names on the continent Douluo have always pulled to the Chinese side, with very few exceptions like the Oscar. That's why an English name was quite strange and displaced to Qian Renxue.

"So? Void Archives, how much do you know about us?" Ju Ran asked.

"I know everything that happened since the awakening of the martial spirit. I saw and heard everything you did and planned. It was only when you absorbed the first spiritual ring that I finally managed to talk to you." Void Archives spoke.

"If you know everything that happened between us then you should know that we are not in this world, right?" (Ju Ran).

Qian Renxue looked at Ju Ran with disbelief because she did not imagine that he would talk about their truth so directly.

"Yes, I realized that you two are of parallel worlds to this world we are in and that you plan to change the predicted events from the world to oppose the subject known as Tang San and against these self-proclaimed gods." Void Archives spoke without changing his expression.

"So, huh ... you too ..." Ju ran.

"Yes, I'm not in this world either. Being more accurate, I didn't come from a Douluo Continent like you both." Void Archives.

These words surprised Qian Renxue. Their current situation was already quite crazy with her and Ju ran being from different periods of the Douluo continent. But now is there a martial spirit of another world?

What will happen next? Will a divine beast offer to be a martial spirit?

"And how is your world? There are gods there?" Qian Renxue asked. She had a little curiosity.

"In the world from where I came, humanity lived on a planet called Earth, there were no spirit masters, martial spirits, nor the spirit beasts, humans were the predominant species of the planet." Void Archives spoke.

"However, humanity was not safe because they were devastated by Honkai who could create terrible natural disasters and create hordes of Honkai beasts and undead to destroy human civilization." Void Archives

"Undead?! Are there undead there?! And what are these Honkai beasts? These Honkai beasts are like the spirit beasts?" Qian Renxue asked.

"I don't know about the spirit beasts of this world, so without comparisons for now. Although some Honkai beasts have been able to erase some whole continents in the past." Void Archives spoke.

"..." Qian Renxue was shocked by that.

When she was alive, Qian Renxue was a goddess for a very short time before she died at the hands of Tang San. She only had time to condense only one divine ring and she only reached the Rank 100 before she died.

At that time she felt invincible against anyone on the continent Douulo but even now she was not confident that she would have enough power to erase a continent.

'It is a pity she had her deity destroyed in the original story. If it wasn't for Tang San and the God Asura she could have risen as a first-class goddess of Rank 120 or higher with 7 divine rings. ' Ju Ran thought of a little pity for Qian Renxue.

If it wasn't for Tang San and God Asura she seriously one of Douluo Dalu's greatest winners and she might even have a chance to have a happy life with her mother if they got them could reconcile with each other.

"My world was completely destroyed by Honkai and there is no single living human to tell history of it. I was destroyed myself and thought that would be my end. But then, the moment after my end I woke up here as a martial spirit." Void Archives.

"Honestly, being a martial spirit is a very strange experience." Void Archives crossed his arms.

"You're not alone in that. To this day I have not accepted that I became a martial spirit." Qian Renxue sighed with a slight touch of melancholy.

Void Archives looked at Ju Ran.

"There are still things that I don't understand but for now I will cooperate with you for now." Void Archives.

"How right do you have to talk to us like this as if you were doing us a favor of being here?" Qian Renxue spoke a little annoyed by the words of Void Archives. Even after all this time she still has her own arrogance.

After all, in her life she has risen and became the angel goddess, she would not accept being put down by others. She is tolerant of Ju Ran because they are accomplices and he never disrespected her, although sometimes he made a small joke with her with her expressionless expression, she was not very annoyed by it.

"I am the AI (Artificial Intelligence) responsible for managing the first divine key created in the fight against Honkai, the divine key Void Archives. What was about to create this divine key was nothing but the core of the first Herrscher, for the standards of his world, the Herrscher could even be comparable to the gods of this world. for me." Void Archives spoke.

Qian Renxue was surprised by this presentation. Although the word Herrscher sounded very strange to her, she was still surprised that this being could be comparable to a god.

Does this mean that Void Archives is a divine-level martial spirit like the Qian family seraphim?

Although Qian Renxue did not want to believe she also thought it was not impossible, after all her divine conscience could find nothing before in this martial spirit.

"By the way, what are your skills?" Ju Ran asked.

"Void Archives was created essentially to have two functions. The first was to be a library that contains all the knowledge of human civilization, so that it could be used by the next generation of humanity. Originally it should be so, but it seems that some abnormalities have happened." Void Archives.

"Like this?" Ju ran.

"Before you put that Spirit Ring on me I did not have access to the library, it was only after the absorption of the spiritual ring that the library was opened and yet only part of it has been opened while the rest is blocked. I suspect that every time a spiritual ring is acquired a part of the library will be released by making more knowledge of my world." Void Archives.

"The second function is that Void Archives can use a small fraction of the power of the first Herrscher." Void Archives spoke.

"And what is the power of this supposed God?" Qian Renxue asked.

"The power of the first Herrscher, the Herrscher of Reason, is to create anything as long as he understands his structure. An example would be that if Já ran understood the structure of a sword then he could create how many swords he wants." Void Archives used a very basic example that even someone like Qian Renxue could understand.

"Was it something like that?" Ju Ran asked while he materialized a simple golden sword in his right hand.

It was a completely strange feeling but at the same time as natural as breathing.

Soon after cracks began to appear in the sword so the sword shattering in various pieces.

Ju Ran's understanding was not enough to keep the sword for a long time. He still was nothing very inexperienced.

"How was the feeling? Using the power of a Herrscher brought some discomfort to your body?" Void Archives asked inexpressively.

Although they were within the spiritual sea of Ju Ran, it was still possible to simulate the power of Void Archives inside.

"I didn't feel at all different." Ju Ran said.

He knew that divine keys use Honkai energy and Honkai energy in the universe of Honkai Impact is very harmful to the human body. But Ju Ran need not worry about it because he felt that Void Archives used only a little of his spiritual energy and mental power to create that sword.

"Great, so the other day we can test your limits on using Void Archives. I will also take the opportunity to do some more tests about the nature of this spirit power. Would you two like to visit the library to see how it is?" Void Archives asked.

"I pass. At this point I have to wake up to the real world, after all the librarian Bei Li is watching the surroundings while I absorb the spirit ring. Later I can enter the library?" Ju Ran asked.

"Of course, you can enter whenever you want." Void Archives spoke.

"Why are you being so cooperative with us? Qian Renxue and I have the same goals because we are from the continent Douulo and because of our circumstances. But you are from a different world, based on the words you said now you are from a different world, you would not have so much reason to deliver all the knowledge of your original world just because you would be my martial spirit." Ju Ran asked with his arms crossed.

"I want knowledge ..."

"This unknown energy that is called spirit power, martial spirits, spirit rings, spirit beasts, and these supposed gods ... All this is unknown to me. So I thought, what if I can understand all this in the future and this can be used to eradicate Honkai?"

"I can help your way to revenge but in return I want you two to provide me with useful data to me. As for example, the Spirit Hall library that claim to contain a vast knowledge of this continent."

Void Archives spoke.

Ju Ran took a quick look at Qian Renxue, after all the spiritual hall belongs to her family.

"Well, at some point we would have to go there anyway, so there's no problem." Qian Renxue sighed.

And so Ju Ran came out of her spiritual sea and woke up in the forest. He was greeted by Bei Li that he was watching the surroundings.

Bei Li congratulated Ju Ran because he absorbed the spirit ring and became a true spirit master. Ju Ran's spirit power advanced to Rank 11.

Bei Li asked curiously about Ju Ran's first spirit ability and Ju Ran responded with a mixture of truths and lies to him, after all it was thanks to Bei that he got his spiritual ring but Ju Ran also wants to maintain the true nature of his well-hidden martial spirit of others.

Ju Ran said his first spirit ability can create a golden sword to fight. Bei Li was a little confusing about Ju Ran being able to make a golden sword with his first spiritual ring that came from a purple spark cat but he didn't persist much on the subject and was happy that Ju Ran had at least one way to defend himself in this dangerous world.

"Ju ran, now that you have become a spirit master, what do you intend to do from now on?" Bei Li asked.

"I intend to graduate from the academy and go back to my village." Ju Ran declared his future plans.

**********

Ju Ran and Bei Li li came safely from the Hunting Forest of spirit Beasts. They took the corpse of the purple spark cat and sold it for 3 gold coins, in which two coins got Ju Ran while Bei Li got a gold coin.
