My days as a Simulation Herrscher since the Honkai Impact

That energy, like an eggshell, firmly enveloped the entire world of Teyvat, sealing off both space and time. It was as if a glass of water had been placed in a turbulent river of time, and everything outside had no connection to the water inside.

"It's unclear for now. Time is too tight, and we simply don't have the energy to research it. Once we've settled down in this world, I'll dive deep into the outer reaches of the world to investigate those energies in detail."

Bai Chen answered casually. Of course, he had some guesses about the situation on the Teyvat continent based on his previous knowledge, but now was not the time to explain it to Dr. Mei.

As Bai Chen reached out and summoned back his creations, the swarm of machines, like obedient children, transformed back into their original forms, whether it was the Star Scepter or the cage that locked Dvalin, swirling and dancing above Bai Chen's head.

The black and gold aircraft numbered nearly a million, blotting out the sky and blocking out the sunlight and clouds as they flew. Interspersed among them were scattered red lights, which were the robots' detection cameras. Thousands of red lights connected in lines, adorning the black and gold clouds.

The others each emanated different energies. Except for Mei, who was sitting on the back of the motorcycle formed by Bronya, the others were all using their own methods to stand in mid-air.

"This world is very special. I haven't even felt the call of the Honkai..."

Kevin reached out, and what should have appeared was a weapon made of frozen Honkai energy. However, the spear he wanted to construct did not appear. Instead, a surge of ice elements condensed in the air, forming a huge iceberg a hundred meters high, which crashed heavily onto the grassland of Windrise.

In the distance, Wendy, who had come to the side of the seriously injured Dvalin and placed her hand on Dvalin's head with concern, couldn't help but swallow hard when she saw the sight of the iceberg.

The mechanical constructs that blotted out the sky were terrifying enough, but those locust-like machines could even merge with each other, a terrifying weapon that this wind god had never seen in thousands of years.

Not only the terrifying figure who controlled the mechanical creations, but everyone else who appeared was not benevolent. Wendy sensed energy fluctuations from almost everyone that were no less powerful than those of the Seven Gods. Among them, the young girls carried terrifying power of rules, similar to the authority of gods.

This was more than just a hostile visit; it was downright murderous. If this had happened a thousand years ago during the war between demons and gods, the massacre of cities and the destruction of nations would likely have been a trivial matter.

"Kevin, don't act rashly. We all need some time to adapt to this world. If we cause too much damage, it will seriously affect our next exploration plan." Bai Chen noticed that Kevin was even trying to take out the Heavenly Fire Judgment from his waist and immediately stopped him from his reckless actions.

"Teyvat is a relatively peaceful world, and dealing with the people of this world does not require much violence. Kiana, Mei, Bronya, you can develop your powers in this world. There are a few special gods in this world, and you may be able to gain inspiration from them."

"Dr. May, the task of finding the Firemoth soldier Teyvat is now in your hands. This world is vast and has undergone countless changes in its nearly ten thousand years of history. If we rely solely on searching or investigating the local history, it may take several years to find what we are looking for."

After Bai Chen finished speaking, he immediately lowered his altitude and flew towards Dvalin and Wendy below.

He never expected that he would encounter the Anemo Archon, one of the Seven Archons, as soon as he arrived in the world of Teyvat, and that he would cause his fleet to become uncontrollable, giving the Anemo Archon a good beating.

The bard's appearance was quite disheveled. His clothes were torn in several places, and his pale face and the faint traces of blood at the corner of his mouth indicated that he had suffered considerable injuries from the bombardment of the Star Scepter.

"Ahem, my friend from another world, I'm so sorry. As you can see, we are travelers between different worlds. Due to some minor accidents, we finally managed to tear through space and arrive here. In our haste, we couldn't turn off the automatic defense function of the fleet, which is why we accidentally hurt you."

With a massive, overwhelming array of aircraft overhead, the Void Worm in his left hand still repelling the surrounding space, and an ever-expanding iceberg behind him, Bai Chen, his face full of apology, sincerely apologized to Wendy.

The Wind God opened his clear, lovely dark green eyes wide and nodded repeatedly: "Ah, yes, travelers, welcome to Teyvat!"

Chapter Three: Three Sentences That Killed the God of Wind

For Wendy, this wasn't the first time she'd encountered travelers from outside the world.

Not long ago, Wendy had been drinking heavily with a traveler from another world in a tavern. If the traveler hadn't been drinking juice, Wendy believed she could have easily beaten her in terms of alcohol tolerance.

However, the traveler was gentle and approachable. His favorite thing to do was to help strangers in trouble. If someone was in trouble and happened to be seen by a passing traveler, the traveler would definitely lend a helping hand, and the troubles would be easily resolved.

But the people who have appeared now seem to be completely unrelated to being approachable, kind, and generous.

"I'm sorry, we are all kind and gentle people, and we had absolutely no hostility. This was just an accident." Bai Chen smiled apologetically and took out an item from his spatial storage.

"As compensation, and also as a small token of our appreciation, please accept this gem as a testament to our friendship."

What appeared in Bai Chen's hand was the Gem of Desire. This core of the Herrscher of Wind was once placed on a girl named Wendy. Unfortunately, she could not withstand the erosion of the Herrscher core, and eventually lost her self-awareness and was defeated by Kiana and the other two.

If Bai Chen wants to simulate becoming the Herrscher of Wind, he must find a true Herrscher of Wind who can accept the Herrscher core, will not be corrupted in a short period of time, and is recognized by the system.

Such people are extremely difficult to find even in the Honkai world, since there is no clear conclusion or data regarding the corruption of the Herrscher core; sometimes it truly is a predetermined fate.

But now, standing before Bai Chen is Venti, the god of wind on the continent of Teyvat, a millennium-old deity who governs the wind element.

It's not unreasonable for the God of Wind to equip the Herrscher Core and become a Herrscher, right?

"Then I'm welcome."

Wendy initially didn't care, thinking that Bai Chen had just taken out an ordinary, pretty gem. But as soon as his finger touched the Desire Gem, he immediately jumped back as if he had been electrocuted, and his finger was immediately pulled back. His eyes were filled with fear, and his face was filled with uncontrollable astonishment.

"This... my friend, this gem is far too precious. It's our first meeting, and I really can't accept such a valuable gift. You should keep it. If you'd like to apologize, how about buying me a drink?"

Bai Chen raised an eyebrow slightly upon seeing Wendy's reaction. He didn't know what Wendy had sensed during that brief contact, but he was certain that the Desire Gem had automatically released a burst of energy the instant it touched Wendy, seemingly eager to merge with her.

“No, how can a cup of wine express our apology? This was originally meant for you, and you felt its longing, didn’t you? Lord Wendy, God of Wind.” Bai Chen smiled and straightened up.

He hadn't forgotten his purpose in coming to Teyvat. This time, it wasn't to establish friendly relations between the two worlds, or to make any kind of declaration or threat. They had come to the continent of Teyvat to find the communication equipment for Project Ark, which had been lost ten thousand years ago, and at the same time to explore the secrets of Teyvat and collect all the precious items that could fight against the Honkai.

To put it nicely, it's called treasure hunting; to put it bluntly... it's the Teyvat Pirate King.

Venti was truly shocked. Almost no one knew his identity as the Wind God. Even the priests of the Church of the Wind God in Mondstadt couldn't tell him he was the Wind God. How could a traveler from another world who had just arrived in this world know his secret?

"How do you know about the Seven Gods and the Teyvat continent?" A gust of wind surged around Wendy, and even the free-spirited God of Wind could sense the malice in Bai Chen's tone.

However, he hadn't fought anyone for far too long, and he had absolutely no understanding of Honkai energy, this almost omnipotent special power.

Countless transparent threads, almost invisible to the naked eye, filled the air around him. Originally, these threads were just floating, but with the movement of the wind, all the threads wrapped around Wendy, and he had become trapped in his own web.

"Because we once summoned a resident of Mondstadt to our world, Anemo Archon, as the god who protects this city, you have been so careless that you have no idea what has happened in just a few days."

Bai Chen reached out and pulled, binding Wendy tightly with the millions of threads wrapped around his wrist. These threads were made using a mixture of Buckytube carbon nanofiber bundles and carbonyne layers. Through Bai Chen's experiments, these threads could even be used to manufacture the main cables of a space elevator. After being enhanced by the power of reason, they were even filled with Honkai energy to strengthen the intermolecular forces.

Even spaceships or rockets in their second-stage flight state couldn't tear apart the net created by Bai Chen, let alone the Wind God Wendy, who currently has little power left.

"I will now enhance your power. Please accept this gift from another world with gratitude!"

Bai Chen pressed the Gem of Desire hard against Wendy's chest, and the moment the Gem of Desire made contact with Wendy, the hard Herrscher core turned into an illusory energy state and instantly disappeared into Wendy's body.

The wind god stared wide-eyed in disbelief, his face full of surprise. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word. Then his head lolled to the side, and he fainted with his eyes still open.

There was no sound, no heartbeat, no breathing.

"Hello? Hello? Could he be dead? That's impossible, he had such good compatibility with the Gem of Desire!"

Bai Chen hurriedly put Wendy on the ground and slapped his cheeks left and right, but to no avail. Even though he had slapped the wind god's fair face until it was red, the wind god, who had opened his eyes and fainted, still showed no signs of waking up.

At this moment, the others also came to Wendy's side. Raiden Mei squatted down and reached out to sense Wendy's bioelectric current: "Heartbeat...breathing...have all disappeared. There is no bioelectric reaction in his body. He should be completely dead."

"Don't compare him to human body parameters. He's the Wind God, an elemental being unique to the Teyvat continent, a pure energy being. The human form is just a transformation of his. How could he just be killed so easily?" Bai Chen was also a little flustered. Could he have destroyed the Wind God that crashed into him as soon as he got off the car in Teyvat?

And it even came with the coveted gem!

Just as Bai Chen was about to proceed with the next step of the examination, a girl suddenly shouted from afar, "Hey, you guys over there! What are you doing to that poor boy?!"

Chapter Four: My Own View on the Civilization of Kanria

Mondstadt, the city that represents freedom and wind, one of the seven main cities on the continent of Teyvat, a beautiful city-state under the protection of the wind god, welcomes a group of special guests today.

"So you are travelers from another world? Hmm, you are a completely different type from the last traveler."

In the headquarters of the Knights of Mondstadt, in the office of the Grand Master, a tall, well-dressed female knight with long golden hair tied in a single ponytail and a curvaceous figure thoughtfully looked at the group of people in front of her.

She is Jean, the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, and the strongest knight currently in Mondstadt.

"After all, there are all sorts of other worlds." A long, rectangular box made up of a fusion of machines floated beside Bai Chen, speaking righteously.

Meanwhile, in the office, another young woman, Amber, dressed in a fiery red scout uniform, stood with her hands on her hips, glaring fiercely at Bai Chen. She said to the leader of the guild in an unfriendly tone, "Leader, don't listen to his excuses. Look at the coffin floating next to him. The bard in that coffin is a singer who is quite famous and often appears in taverns. He is a resident of our Mondstadt!"

The person she was referring to was Venti. At this moment, the Wind God of Mondstadt was lying quietly in a long, rectangular box next to Bai Chen. The box was large at the top and small at the bottom, with a rounded curve. To make him more comfortable, Bai Chen had thoughtfully placed a red velvet cushion inside.

His hands were crossed over his chest, and he looked very serene. Perhaps he would have looked even more peaceful if he could have closed his wide-open eyes.

"He's just asleep, don't worry, he'll wake up on his own in a few days." Bai Chen didn't know how to explain this for a moment, so he could only stubbornly insist on his point.

Just after he placed the Gem of Desire into Wendy's body, causing him to collapse to the ground, losing his heartbeat and breath, Amber, the scout knight of Mondstadt, arrived at the scene.

The appearance of such a glaring anomaly in the spatial rift, accompanied by lightning and hurricanes, coupled with the aerial battle between the aircraft and Dvalin that could be clearly seen even from the walls of Mondstadt, naturally attracted the attention of the knights within the city.

In fact, it wasn't just the scout knight Amber who was dispatched this time; almost the entire knightly order followed behind her, all in order to find those who were fighting in mid-air.

But it was at this very moment that Wendy collapsed.

If it weren't for the aura surrounding Bai Chen and his companions, which clearly indicated they weren't easy to deal with, Amber would have led the Knights of Favonius to capture them and imprison them simply for killing people in the wild and severely beating Dvalin, the guardian of Mondstadt.

Knowing that they would likely not gain any advantage if war broke out, and might even lose the lives of their fellow knights, Amber proposed a compromise: Bai Chen and the others should go to the Knights to see Acting Grand Master Jean, who would then decide how to handle the matter.

This is why Bai Chen and his group appeared here.

Qin stepped out from behind her desk and approached the floating steel coffin. Instead of looking at Wendy, she reached out and touched the coffin that Bai Chen had constructed using the Soul Steel machine group.

"This metal..."

Qin muttered something under her breath, shook her head, and said nothing more. As the acting Grand Master of the Knights and one of the heirs of the largest noble families in Monte City, she immediately recognized that the metal used to construct the coffin was unlike any she had ever heard of before, and it seemed to be more precious and rarer than any metal she had ever seen. Furthermore, the coffin's construction was not simple; although the exterior appeared to be just a layer of normal metal, the faint sound of the machine's core vibrating could be heard emanating from within.

According to Amber, the steel coffin was simply a creation made by the young man in front of her with a wave of his hand, just like someone with a Geo-elemental Vision could create a Geo-elemental object.

But there has never been a divine eye of metal in this world. Metal and technology, the creation of man-made objects that can fly and attack in the sky, missiles and lasers... these are all taboos of civilization in this world.

Qin took a deep look at Bai Chen and the group of people from the Honkai world behind him. She knew far more about the secrets of the world than Amber, but now was definitely not the time to bring them up.

She then turned her gaze to Wendy. She had noticed that Wendy's chest was not rising and falling, and he had obviously stopped breathing, but his face was rosy and his skin was firm, so he did not look like a dead person.

Then, a wisp of breeze enveloped her hand, and she touched Wendy's forehead. It was Jean's Eye of God, a wind-attribute power, but a gentle breeze with healing and protective properties, possessing the special power to heal injuries and diseases.

This power had enabled Jean to save her comrades on the battlefield more than once, and almost everyone in the Knights had enjoyed the touch of this breeze.

"A bard?... Hmm, this bard is indeed alright. He just drank too much dandelion wine and passed out."

A fleeting look of surprise crossed Jean's face. She had seen Wendy before and had long harbored a vague suspicion about his identity, but she had never been able to confirm it. Only now, after using the power of the Eye of God to touch this free bard, did she truly confirm the identity of this Wind God.

Although it's unclear why the wind god has taken this form, Jean is certain that he is not facing a life-threatening crisis. On the contrary, a vast life force is surging within the god's body, while an immense amount of energy from an unknown source is filling his entire being.

The feeling was as if he were undergoing an evolution, like transforming from a cocoon into a butterfly, with even the essence of life undergoing a leap. This was the reason he fell into a coma. In this state, he had to fall into a deep sleep to ensure that his body could evolve smoothly.

“Alright, Amber, leave things here to me. Go and call Lisa over first, then go and find the alchemist in the city. Mr. Abedo should have finished his sketching in the snow mountain, go and invite him over as well.”

Having received Jean's affirmative reply and been given a new task, Amber could only glance at Wendy in the coffin with slight surprise before turning and leaving the office.

Only after Amber's footsteps disappeared around the corner did a serious and earnest expression finally appear on Jean's face.

"Let me ask you first, travelers, who is your leader?"

Bai Chen turned to look at Kevin and Otto. Kevin, expressionless, looked away, while Otto smiled and shook his head, indicating that everything was up to Bai Chen: "No, Chief. But if you have any questions or anything you'd like to discuss, just tell me."

"Alright, my first question. Is this your first time coming to this world?"

“Of course, if it weren’t for some accident, we wouldn’t even have been able to find this world.” Bai Chen put a lid on Wendy’s coffin, raised the bottom of the coffin so that it was placed on the ground, and then sat on the coffin lid.

"So you were conscious, found this world, and entered it through some means. Instead of drifting between worlds and falling into this world due to uncontrollable forces, and even losing some of your previous memories." Qin's eyes widened slightly.

“Yes, we’ve come to this world to find something. It’s a set of metal objects that were left behind from our world a long, long time ago. They’re also experimental devices with storage capabilities, and we need them to retrieve some extremely important and valuable data.” Bai Chen didn’t hide their purpose in coming to this world. This was a plan that had been agreed upon with everyone before they entered the Teyvat continent.

Bai Chen was absolutely certain that his group's combat strength was among the top tier even in the Teyvat world. They could even put up a fight against all seven gods if they descended. Therefore, there was no need to conceal their objective. They should cast a wide net and catch as many fish as possible. Even if the local forces in the Teyvat world wanted to use those devices as leverage to extort money or seek benefits, it was better than not finding any trace of the communication equipment at all.

"A very, very long time ago, roughly how many years ago?" Qin continued to ask.
