Book 5: Chapter 25:1: Deserving a Beating to the End, Part 1
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Even when considering the vast dimensional sea, we can find several worlds that are actually multidimensional worlds. Such worlds usually have a higher chance of a transcender appearing in them, but that is it. Even with that, it is still an infinitesimal chance.
Queen of Ice and Snow: That’s why the world consciousness of Chen Heng’s world was truly unlucky.
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Isn’t that so? There are less than 200 transcenders in the entire dimensional sea. Yet it ran into one and even forgot to assign the luck and fortune to the right people. Tut! Tut! Tut!
“Elder Brother, I’m almost done absorbing the Honkai Energy. Shouldn’t we leave now? That white-haired Valkyrie of a similar age to me gives off an extremely dangerous vibe.” Sirin looked at Chen Heng worriedly. It seemed she had yet to trust Chen Heng’s ability to see the future.
Actually, this was rather normal, as he had never shown anything more incredible before Sirin. Although she saw Chen Heng’s ancestor casually crushing a world consciousness, she was not at a level where she understood how horrifying that was.
Furthermore, Chen Heng’s ancestor was Chen Heng’s ancestor, and Chen Heng was Chen Heng; they were different people.
“Alright. Since you are so worried, let’s go. Some problematic people will come soon. Listen to my instructions. Jump 21 kilometers in the direction I point in.” Chen Heng pointed 25 degrees northwest and told Sirin to spatial jump there with him. This was the direction of the giant egg in the comics, the one she visited in the comics.
Chen Heng had worked together with the Honkai Beast that led Sirin there in one of the possible timelines, so he knew the location of this giant egg.
“Sure, but what is there?”
“One of your cheats is there.”
Right now, Sirin had difficulty throwing a Subspace Lance, unable to throw her Subspace Lance into the imaginary space and ignore defense.
[TL Note: There is not much detail on the imaginary space available, but you can see it as something like the dimensional sea of this novel where the many worlds reside. This would be something similar on a smaller scale, containing only the Honkai worlds. The imaginary space also has other properties relating to Honkai. Here is a site that describes the imaginary space: https://hoyodex.miraheze.org/wiki/Imaginary_Space.]
So if she wanted to fully become the Herrscher of the Void and communicate with the Honkai God, she needed to go to that giant egg.

“What a humongous egg! Are we going in?” Sirin stared at the giant egg several floors tall before her in astonishment.
“You have to go in alone. I cannot accompany you in this. However, Sirin, remember this: no matter what you encounter there, even if it brings back terrible memories, I will always be with you. I can bring you into the association in another two days. After that, we can return to my world. Never get influenced by it.”
“Alright. I’ll remember that.”
“Then, Sirin, do you have anything you wish for or want?” Chen Heng still felt worried. After all, she had lived a tragic past. Even with the Mental Defense Ring to protect her, the scenes that Sirin would see would probably change her.
This ring could block all these scenes; it was possible to configure it to do that. However, he worried they would not get the expected result if he did not go with the giant egg’s flow.
Hence, Chen Heng decided to reward Sirin with something.
“Then, Elder Brother, can you move the ring on my left index finger (not married) to the left ring finger (married) or the left middle finger (engaged)? If not, the right ring finger (in love) or the right index finger (in a relationship) will do too.” Sirin’s eyes lit up with hope as she looked at Chen Heng.
“Erm…if you can come out fully intact, I’ll shift the ring to the right ring finger. That is the farthest I’ll go. Also, you are not to flaunt the ring before Luo Li or Mo Qingtong. You can make the ring invisible. If you want to see it, you just have to think about it.” Chen Heng felt so worried that he eventually compromised.
“Alright, it’s a deal. I’m going in now.”
Chen Heng shook his head as he watched Sirin leap into the giant egg.
He hoped Sirin would not change too much after coming out. Otherwise, he could only use the hidden function of the ring.
The ring had a hidden function to rewind the wearer’s personality and memories to a certain time.
Although this seemed akin to controlling Sirin, Chen Heng did not want his precious little princess to become a cruel queen.
A queen was alright, but a cruel one was not.
------
While Chen Heng waited, the leader of Anti-Entropy, the 1st Herrscher, Welt, met with Theresa. Of course, there was a small fight before they met; that was unavoidable.
After all, Anti-Entropy and Schicksal never got along.
The storyline had changed a little because of Chen Heng.
For example, the disappearance of the A-Ranked Valkyrie Patricia caused Otto to send a Schicksal’s Knight, Siegfried, and two A-Ranked Valkyries to Babylon Labs. However, because there was now a difference in when Sirin controlled Honkai Beasts to attack Babylon Labs, Welt and Siegfried never met.
------
Back at the giant egg:
Chen Heng waited outside the giant egg for a few hours. This was in the Siberian snowfield. Although he possessed a strong body and did not feel cold, the vast snowfield still had a small psychological impact.
Chen Heng did not use the chat group, practice his sword in his mind, or use the Will Energy cultivation technique given to him, as Theresa and the others would rush over soon. Instead, he read about some higher-grade techniques, restrictions, and ritual arrays.
Chen Heng had already finished reading the Complete Foundational Skillset for Cultivators. In fact, he had read it three times and now was just practicing its contents.
The techniques in the book were low-grade stuff. The good stuff was the clan’s secret techniques.
After Chen Heng finished reading about a technique called Heavenly Demon Hand, the main character’s group arrived slowly.
Actually, Chen Heng did not care about the main character’s group; the Heavenly Demon Hand was more interesting. While this technique had such an impressive name, it was simply making a massive hand of Spiritual Energy in his attribute. The shape of the hand could be changed, but most people simply ended up with weird tentacles.
Chen Heng could not help but ponder this.
