Book 5: Chapter 1:1: The Allure of Returning Home, Part 1
Book 05: Merger with Honkai Impact 3rd’s World
This is not the worst part. The worst part is your ancestor’s applying for leave all of a sudden, wanting to go home to take a look.
Going home to check on the situation is normal, so the Purple Firmament Palace sent someone to replace your ancestor. Then your ancestor returned to his original world.
Most transcenders leave a spatial anchor when they leave their world, to make it convenient to return quickly. This anchor might be an item or a ritual array. However, your ancestor’s spatial anchor is your Chen Clan’s. An. Ces. Tral. Cry. Stal.
When your ancestor used the crystal as a target to return to, he discovered the crystal was no longer with the Chen Clan. Instead, an old man held it. Your ancestor felt quite angry, as it was an ancestral heirloom, yet it was actually lent to others.
However, when your ancestor flipped through your world’s akashic records to find the Chen Clan’s descendants to lecture them, he discovered he had no descendants left in his world. Your original world’s akashic records only have records up to the time you left because you ran to another world. This is due to the Dimension Administrators Association’s special characteristics. However, I guess your ancestor realized that. Even so, he wanted to run amok because of your Chen Clan’s miserable state.
“Then what? One should be punished for one’s wrongdoings.” Chen Heng felt nothing and even wanted to laugh, as he knew this ancestor would take revenge. This ancestor had been famous for being protective.
Then your ancestor went berserk. He pulled out the sleeping world consciousness with one hand and swung his sword without saying anything, beating the world consciousness half dead, leaving it practically on its last breath. Fortunately, the world’s emergency measures took effect and preserved the world consciousness’s life. Right now, the Purple Firmament Palace’s transcenders summoned by the world’s emergency measures are trying to stop your ancestor.
That’s why you need to rush back.
“What’s the rush? Aren’t there the Purple Firmament Palace’s transcenders to stop my ancestor?”
Chen Heng felt even less urgency upon hearing that. He slowly took out a cup of tea from his spatial storage. What a joke! This world consciousness siphoned so much of my clan’s luck. How can I let it have a good time?
Stop, my ass! Those are just mere projections, not their true selves. Transcenders are not that free. The Purple Firmament Palace has two opposing factions. Your ancestor’s faction is the one that supports the world consciousnesses. The other faction does not care about the world consciousnesses; the world consciousnesses and the second faction generally just ignore each other. The transcenders the world emergency measures can summon are from the first faction, and your ancestor is one of the powerhouses of that faction.
“This problem seems to have blown up.”
Although Chen Heng said that, he still casually sipped his tea.
So, how does the world consciousness’s life or death concern me—Chen Heng?
Let me tell you this: if you still don’t return, a war might happen in your world. Don’t forget, your younger sister is in that world.
“Damn!”
Chen Heng immediately stood up. He had nearly forgotten about that.
“That’s not right. I recall you said the Re:Life Chat Group members can transmigrate. Given my understanding of Luo Li and Mo Qingtong, they would probably flee with Jeanne d’Arc and my younger sister in such a situation.”
As you said, probably, so you are uncertain. You’d better rush back to check.
“That makes sense.”
Although Chen Heng trusted Mo Qingtong and Luo Li, there was always an in-case. To prevent his younger sister from dying from the shock waves of his ancestor’s battle, he decided to return.
Now, Chen Heng understood why he felt schadenfreude as he returned.
However, before he returned…
He Who Knows Fate: I recall you lot saying if my ancestor appeared, you would show up as a group to beat him up, right?
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: I recall saying that.
Lord of the White Night: I did say that.
God Sai: I recall agreeing to that.
Queen of Ice and Snow: So, your ancestor returned to your world, and you are feeling schadenfreude because you want to gather a group to beat up your ancestor?
He Who Knows Fate: My ancestor returned to my world, but I’m feeling schadenfreude not because of my ancestor but the world consciousness.
Magus of Flowers: I suddenly have an awful premonition.
Queen of Ice and Snow: What do your words mean?
He Who Knows Fate: My ancestor is a transcender, and he is currently beating up the world consciousness. So, are we ganging up to beat up my ancestor?
Lord of the White Night: …
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Ah! This… Are we just going to deliver our heads?
Customer Service: He Who Knows Fate, stop messing around. Keep it up, and your home world will be gone.
Efreet: This…
Queen of Ice and Snow: It looks like making promises too confidently might not be a good thing. Even though we said we would gang up, no one dares to go.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Who could have imagined his ancestor is a transcender?
Umaru-chan: Customer Service is getting anxious.
I Have a Strong Presence: Customer Service is really anxious. I’ve never seen Customer Service take such a tone.
He Who Knows Fate: Got it. Got it. What’s the rush?
Chen Heng tapped on the button labeled “Application to Return to Original World.” After that, a black hole appeared before him.
------
After staying in Arknights’s world for about ten days, Chen Heng returned to his world. Since he departed from his home, he returned there.
Chen Heng rushed downstairs to make sure his younger sister was alive.
When he arrived downstairs, he discovered Jeanne d’Arc and Sirin sitting in the living room. Meanwhile, Sirin was throwing food to Fafnir.
That’s fortunate. Nothing has changed from before, except…
Bang! Just as Chen Heng arrived downstairs, something charged into his embrace. He lowered his head and saw a loli with white hair. Yup, it’s Luo Li. The height is a big flaw. Also…there is no feeling of softness…not as good as Sirin.
However, Chen Heng found this embrace strangely familiar for some reason.
“Elder Brother Heng, it has been a long time.”
“Yeah! It’s been a long time.”
I say, Luo Li, there’s no need to pretend to be so obedient. I have already seen your true nature. However, he did not say these words aloud.
