However, she now faces Raiden Mei, a Herrscher from the Honkai world. Not long ago, this Herrscher, like her, wielded a long sword, believing that her painstakingly honed swordsmanship could sever all injustice and even fate that she wished to sever.

He then received a thorough lesson and remains trapped in that indescribable tutoring class to this day, unable to graduate and escape.

Mei had long abandoned the method of wielding a longsword to slash enemies, which was driven by the power of lightning. Moreover, although both of them had the ability to control the lightning element, Mei, as a Herrscher, was obviously of a higher level than the Lightning General.

Purple lightning drew a straight line in the sky, a slash invisible to the human eye, a chilling radiance descending from the heavens, a single, unimaginable strike enough to annihilate all demons, monsters, and those who disobeyed.

But just as this strike began to shine brilliantly, it was firmly suppressed in place by an overwhelming force. The lightning that had once been at his command now writhed and rolled around General Thunder like dead loaches, struggling and unsure of where to go.

An invisible magnetic field twisted and formed in front of Raiden Mei, simply changing the polarity of the electrons scattered around. After being amplified by the power of the Herrscher, it formed a high-pressure magnetic field powerful enough to crush all metal and stone into another aggregate form.

With Mei's current abilities, as a fully-fledged Herrscher of Thunder, she could easily cover an entire modern city with this field. After overcoming the initial difficulties, she also learned the tricky methods that Bai Chen used when constructing his abilities, forming a magnetic field field unique to herself.

After demonstrating this ability to Bai Chen, he named it "Magnetic Field Rotation 50 Horsepower" and even proposed the absurd idea that it would allow her to rapidly move every cell in her body, forming a biological force capable of tearing apart planets, and gathering a massive force capable of shattering neutron stars into her fist, so that no matter what was in front of her, she could turn it to dust with a single punch.

Of course, that was just a joke; there's no way she could do something so outrageous. However, as long as Raiden Mei continues her research into altering magnetic fields, tearing apart a continent would only be a small step in proving her status as a Herrscher.

Although he possessed great martial prowess, he was barely beyond the level of illiteracy. How could the Thunder General, who couldn't even cook, possibly know the formulas for calculating electric fields, magnetic fields, and Feynman diagrams?

The Thunder General, imprisoned in the force field, stared wide-eyed. She couldn't understand why she, the so-called God of Thunder, had lost to this demon from another world in the contest of lightning element.

She is clearly the god of this world, the lightning general who governs and protects Inazuma, so why can a demon from another world usurp her power? And so thoroughly, even making it far stronger than when she used it herself?!

This same question arose in Sirin's mind several months ago. Unfortunately, the Honkai world is ultimately a special world based on physics, and even Honkai energy is just a special kind of omnipotent energy. In this world, if two sides possess roughly equal powers, the final contest will be about who has more knowledge, not who has the bigger arm.

"Welling!"

With her eyes wide open, General Thunder let out a low, unwilling roar, and thick black clouds immediately filled the sky above the entire island. Bolt after bolt of lightning struck down on the people below in response to her call.

However, the lightning also disappeared in mid-air without a doubt. The power of the Herrscher is greater than that of the Seven Gods, and Raiden Mei's suppression of Raiden General is definitely greater than that of anyone else in the world.

Mei's attention wasn't primarily on the Thunder General; instead, she was focused on using her mental connection to read the memories of the ley lines beneath the island. She casually imprisoned the Thunder General in a magnetic cage, using opposite electrodes to neutralize its power. Mei then tossed her lightning-infused longsword towards the cage, intending to teach the Thunder General a lesson, to shut it up and stop interfering with her reading.

However, Raiden General did not give up. After discovering that her lightning ability was completely suppressed, she immediately mobilized her spiritual power, intending to use the entire Inazuma ley lines to drag Raiden Mei into her personal spiritual realm—Ichishin no Sou.

But standing beside them now was a master of spiritual expertise. Xiao Shi merely moved his finger slightly, and then devoted his spirit to General Lei Dian's Pure Land of One Heart.

This caused General Thunder's expression to vanish instantly, and the Herrscher of Knowledge discovered the special state she was in within the Thunder God's mental realm. In a mere instant, she clapped her hands and shattered her obsession with eternity. The brutality of her attack nearly shattered her mental world, making her, after Barbatos, another pitiful god who was knocked into a coma by the demons of another world.

"Huh? There are actually people in this world who believe in the existence of eternal and unchanging truths? I've lived for 50,000 years and I wouldn't dare say that. This little girl who's not even a fraction of her age really has a big mouth."

Xiao Shi curled his lip and put his hands on his hips with a disdainful look.

Mei paid no attention to what was happening here. The memories of the land rising from the base of the Divine Cherry Tree contained all the feelings that another deceased Rai God had placed on his younger sister.

In fact, the current Thunder God General is named Thunder Movie, and before her, there was another Thunder God who had died in battle, her sister Thunder True.

Although Kage was stronger than her sister in martial arts, she had absolutely no talent for handling political affairs. Raiden Shin was well aware of this; if it weren't for her continuing to exert influence on the people of Inazuma even after her death, and if she hadn't arranged for her friend Yae no Miko to assist her sister in governing, Inazuma would have long since fallen apart due to Raiden Shin's willful actions.

For some unknown reason, Mei was mistaken by this land for Raiden Shin, who had not returned for a long time. The moment she returned to Inazuma, she had effectively taken over the position of Raiden Shogun, becoming the new Raiden God of Inazuma, and even reclaimed most of the gifts that Raiden Shin had left behind.

Despite having gone through so much, Mei remains, at heart, a gentle and kind young lady from a wealthy family. Having sorted out those memories and glimpsed a part of Raiden's true emotions, her gaze towards Raiden immediately shifted from that of a stranger to that of a pitying, yet infuriating, foolish younger sister.

"Kiana, send her back to Valhalla. The Heart of God is not with her; it has always been held by the Grand Master of this island."

Mei waved her hand, controlling the magnetic chains to throw the Rai movie into the spatial portal created by Kiana.

Then, the dark clouds that had not yet dispersed in the sky gathered again. As Mei spread her power throughout the island, lightning, as always, poured into one luxurious mansion after another, in accordance with her will.

All of these mansions contain artifacts that allow communication with the Raiden General. Now that Raiden Mei has usurped the position of Raiden God and become the de facto ruler of Inazuma, she can also communicate through these artifacts to send her orders to the various noble families.

"Everyone cease resistance and accept the mechanical legion's control. Anyone who causes an accident due to resistance will bear all the consequences."

Kiana's mechanical legion was no smaller than the mechanical legion surrounding Sumeru, and a large part of it deployed amphibious unmanned ships that had been prepared in advance, taking advantage of Inazuma's terrain surrounded by the sea.

These unmanned vessels can anchor and anchor on the sea, and their long-range main guns can fire from the sea all the way to the inland areas hundreds of kilometers from the coast. In addition to these small ships, larger capital ships are on their way to Inazuma. These well-established naval fleets will surround all the islands of Inazuma, forming a dense network of firepower and creating an encirclement structure as vast as Mount Sumeru.

This firepower might not be necessary, but Bai Chen didn't want his void simulation operation to be hindered or resisted in any way. In any case, sufficient power was enough to deter any discontented individuals; cowering and shrinking back would only waste too much time.

Everyone on Inazuma Island witnessed the thunderous battle in the sky, and the subsequent orders indirectly revealed who the ultimate victor was.

Although they were unwilling, the Thor who protected the island had already been defeated and captured. So how could ordinary samurai fight against those alien demons who were covered in steel and could fly and travel freely?

The mechanical legion's takeover of Inazuma went more smoothly than ever before. Although there were samurai who tried to resist, those brave men were all beheaded without mercy, and no one dared to disobey Thor's orders or rebel at will.

Needless to say, Mei led Kiana and the others all the way to Narukami Shrine.

Inside the shrine, Yae no Miko already knew the outcome of the battle in the sky. She sat on the threshold of the main hall with a worried expression, a rare sight for someone who usually prided herself on her wisdom and beauty.

Those demons from another world are truly unreasonable, and the power they wield far exceeds the imagination of the divine child. Any one of them, taken individually, is on par with the Seven Gods, or even stronger than the ordinary Seven Gods... If we use the Grass God as an analogy, even ten of them couldn't defeat one.

However, compared to the gloomy-faced Yae no Miko, Kiana and Mei, who saw her, had even stranger expressions on their faces.

The woman in front of me, with fox ears and dressed in a shrine maiden's outfit, looked strangely familiar no matter how I looked at her.

How could they not be familiar with each other? Not to mention Yae Sakura, whom they had met in the Stigmata Space, they had also dealt with Sakura from the Thirteen Heroes of the Fire Chaser not long ago, and Yae Divine Child's appearance was exactly the same as these two.

"Your name is Yae no Miko?"

Mei raised an eyebrow. Pink hair, fox ears, shrine maiden outfit, surname Yae—could it be that no matter which world you're in, everyone with all of these features has the exact same face?

If we take her back to Karen, Karen will be very happy!

"Yes, celestial beings. You kidnapped your Thunder General, so you must have come here for this."

Yae no Miko pulled out a purple, chess-piece-like object from his robes—it was the Heart of Raijin.

Chapter Forty-Two: The Tower of Babel, Proclaimed Throughout the World, Thus Have I Heard

When Kiana and the others returned to the underground of Valhalla, a small pink fox was perched on Raiden Mei's shoulder.

This little fox is none other than Yae no Miko. After handing over the Heart of the Thunder God, Yae no Miko was also chosen by Raiden Mei to be taken back to Valhalla.

After all, there are no fox spirits in the Honkai world. Now that we've seen a real fox spirit, of course we have to take it back for Dr. Mei to study.

Knowing she couldn't dissuade her, Yae no Miko could only obediently follow. And for some unknown reason, she didn't maintain her human form, but instead transformed into a little fox and was carried away by Mei in her arms.

Because the return location was locked through Bronya's creations, it naturally landed in the laboratory she was most familiar with.

Lei, who had been sent over earlier, was already lying on a bed in the center of the laboratory, undergoing rounds of examinations by Dr. Mei.

"Mei, give me a copy of your genes. Bronya, could you collect some for her and put it into the reader?"

Seeing Mei and the others return, Dr. Mei, busy with experiments, said without even looking up.

Now, this laboratory not only has Dr. Mei as a researcher, but also dozens of researchers from Destiny and World Serpent, all of whom are under Dr. Mei's command and are responsible for various experimental operations.

All of these people came to Teyvat through the spatial passage above Dragonspine Mountain. And it wasn't just them; now there are three teams of Chosen Valkyries entering Teyvat, led by Kallen, heading to the realms of the Fire God and the Water God to collect local specialties and capture unique creatures native to the land.

The continent of Teyvat has vastly different ecosystems in different countries. Many creatures can only survive under the protection of a certain god, and once they leave their native land, it is difficult for them to reproduce and spread on a large scale.

Dr. Mei's research proves that all these special creatures possess elemental power, which they absorb through ley lines. Different regions have different ley line characteristics, and unless a simulated greenhouse suitable for their breeding environment is created for them using technological means in a laboratory, they simply cannot survive outside.

Besides Kallen's Valkyrie squad, Otto also left Valhalla and disappeared somewhere, seemingly intending to mess with the Abyss and retrieve something he wanted from the depths of Teyvat.

Mei also left Yae no Miko with Dr. Mei. The doctor held the little fox in his hands, rubbed its long ears, and showed a rare expression of nostalgia.

The feel of these ears was almost identical to that of Sakura from the game "Fire Moth". Since the Herrscher of Corruption incident ended, she hadn't touched such soft ears in a long time.

Mei and her group found a few more administrators from the Honkai Impact 3rd world and sent them to Inazuma to help the Mechanical Legion stabilize the situation there. Then, they once again embarked on their journey to find the Heart of God.

Two Divine Hearts have fallen into the hands of the Fatui Enforcers, and the Fatui are currently missing. The Enforcer Burgundy, who was supposed to be in Liyue, has also disappeared. However, with the Olympus System constantly monitoring them from the sky, and the Herrscher of Knowledge's mental search, finding the hidden Fatui is only a matter of time.

Dr. Mei finished her work and took out Mei's gene report, which she had just completed, only after Mei and the others left.

"Yes, you two do indeed share the same Holy Mark gene. In terms of bloodline, you both share the same ancestor 50,000 years ago." Dr. Mei leaned against Lei Yingdian's bedside and flicked the experimental report in her hand.

"The entanglement of fates between two worlds is a wondrous outcome, one that science often cannot explain. However, if you no longer cling to your obsession with eternity, you can go with that child to our world." Mei smiled and lowered her head, looking at Ray, who had already woken up but whose eyes were blank.

"She's a very gentle child, you won't be disappointed."

Bai Chen was unaware that another of the Seven Gods was about to be abducted to the Honkai World. At that moment, he was moving a chair over and placing it next to the little girl opposite him.

"Sit down, Nasita." He had a good impression of the young grass goddess loli and gave her what he thought was a kind and friendly smile, gesturing for her to sit down next to him.

However, the girl with long silver hair trembled and hesitated to sit down.

As the youngest of the Seven Gods and specializing in the spiritual realm, Narcida's perception of the Olympus System far surpasses that of the others. Moreover, her keen senses grant her extremely strong energy detection abilities. In her eyes, the energy surrounding Bai Chen is mixed and chaotic, and carries an extremely strong sense of destruction.

Furthermore, considering his actions on the continent of Teyvat, he is by no means a good person.

“What’s there to be afraid of? We won’t be staying in this world for long. Once we’ve finished dealing with what we have to do, we’ll naturally return this continent to you.” A swarm of nanobots appeared beside Bai Chen and pressed Narcida back into her chair.

"What...do you need?" Nasita asked softly. She had already made preparations before coming here. Whatever these demons from another world asked of her, she would give them without reservation.

"Whatever you want, I will give it to you. But please spare the people of Sumeru, stop destroying the forest, and please stop harming the innocent animals in the forest."

Compared to treasures and knowledge, the people of Sumeru are undoubtedly more important, and protecting that forest is also the duty of the Grass Goddess. She cannot bear to watch flames and steel relentlessly carve through the forest, turning tree after tree into charcoal and withered branches.

If that were all, the forest itself would have the ability to recover. However, the deformed monsters that these demons graze in the forest are simply unbearable for Narcida. Those things should not exist in the world at all. The deformed experimental children of God are simply the greatest collection of malice in this world. Their ferocious, ugly, and greedy spirit spreads within the forest, turning the once beautiful forest into a filthy swamp.

"If you mean those children of the gods, rest assured, their lifespan is not long to begin with, and they will soon die from the collapse of their own genes. Moreover, their predators will soon appear and drive them all out of Sumeru without exception."

Bai Chen didn't intend to make a big deal out of this matter, because he had already arranged for one of the gray snake's bodies to carry the Naga to Sumeru to prey on the children of gods who were free-roaming in the forest. After this period of devouring and growing, these children of gods had become rich in various genes and extremely nutritious.

Although it is unknown how much the Naga will grow after absorbing these children of the gods, Bai Chen does not need the Naga's power for the time being, and as an experimental standard, there is no need to pursue too good results.

"As for stopping the felling of the Sumeru Forest and those Sumeru scholars, you will need to exchange them for special knowledge. Narcida, hand over the Void System to me. I want to promote the Void System to the entire continent of Teyvat and have everyone connected to it."

Nasita remained silent, seemingly considering whether she could entrust the foundation of the Void System to Bai Chen. But soon, she made up her mind, and a ball of yellowish-green light appeared in her hand, gradually forming the shape of a seed.

"This is the core of the Void System, and its origin is the Heart of the Grass God. However, the Heart of the God is only used to provide energy to the Void System and maintain its operation. Its main body is still the legacy left by the Great Tree King, and a part of it has fallen into the hands of the Order of the Church."

"I can only provide you with a basic level of intervention identity, which allows you to directly access the Void System's underlying layers. However, if it were you, gaining complete control of the Void shouldn't be too difficult."

Naxida handed the ball of light in her hand to Bai Chen, and said in a low voice.

Wearing the Wisdom Insect on his wrist, Bai Chen directly extended the Herrscher's power into the system provided by Narcida. He had already discovered that because of the shared origin of the Teyvat continent and the Honkai world, the Herrscher's power could not only be used freely in both worlds, but its level was also higher than that of the gods of the Teyvat world.

Therefore, he was not worried at all about any conspiracy. The Grass God's strength was too weak to interfere excessively with the Herrscher's powers.

That was indeed a huge tree.

When Bai Chen entered the void system, he found himself inside a giant tree inlaid with countless crystals. He was at the very bottom, and looking up, he saw thousands upon thousands of memory crystals, more numerous than stars, floating within this tree world constructed of spiritual power.

With the activation of the power of reason, wherever Bai Chen's spirit passed, all the secrets of the Void System were revealed to him.

The essence of the Void System is a massive vortex of spiritual origin, and also a true dream so vast that it encompasses all those connected to it. Although its source is the powerful spiritual energy of the previous generation of Grass God, a divine dream that materialized into reality, it has now become a shared spiritual domain for all Sumeru people after being accessed by generations of Sumeru inhabitants.

Yes, the Void System no longer belonged to the previous Grass God a hundred years ago, nor to any single individual. All the control methods used to be effective have essentially become ineffective. The entire Void System has become another piece of Sumeru within the Sumeru Spirit Dream.

The knowledge supposedly stored in the void has all transformed into countless crystals of knowledge, floating within this boundless and vast dream realm. Anyone with sufficient access to this dream can see these knowledge crystals constantly flashing and glowing. Each time they glow, it means someone is reading the knowledge within the crystal, as if they have stored all their wisdom and memories within this dream realm.

In reality, even without Bai Chen imposing mental shackles on Teyvat, Sumeru would have gradually succumbed to destruction due to the nature of the Void System. Their wisdom and knowledge are not stored in their own minds, but rather entrusted to a vast, false dream. If one day this dream shatters, everything accumulated over thousands of years will instantly vanish into nothingness.

But that was the end of it all. The worm of consciousness broke free from Bai Chen's palm and assimilated the entire dreamscape of the void at an unimaginable speed. This was a power far stronger than that of the Grass God before, capable of achieving a spiritual miracle that even the Tree King could not accomplish.
