Honkai: It’s broken, I have become the Herrscher of Corrosion?

April 2017, 4, Taixu Mountain.

Kiana stood on the top of Mount Taixu, guiding the Houkai energy of the entire Mount Taixu to gather around her. In order to avoid interference between the two Herrscher cores, Bronya returned to Hyperion in advance.

"God is extremely changeable, and all wonderful things can be described in words, and cannot be expounded."

Kiana moved her mind, and the huge Honkai energy changed from a chaotic shape to a giant sword that was a hundred meters long.

"Taixu sword energy, divine essence!"

The giant sword was shot out and exploded in the distance. Although it did not cause any damage on the surface, as a mental attack, the Taixu Sword God could cause the S-level Valkyrie to collapse mentally on the spot, or even turn her into an idiot.

"So this is the essence of God. It is an eye-opener to be able to see it."

Cheng Lixue, who was originally sitting cross-legged on the ground, stood up and expressed her gratitude to Kiana. Although she knew that she could not use this move at all with her talent, even if she could not do it, Cheng Lixue still had some enlightenment in Kiana's Taixu Sword God. She believed that as long as she could take the time to digest it, her strength would definitely be able to reach a higher level.

"Master, Kiana, now that the Herrscher of Knowledge incident has come to an end and I have finished observing the Grand Void Sword God, I should return to the Destiny Headquarters and report to the bishop."

"Senior Cheng Lixue, if we just go back like this, Otto won't..."

Cheng Lixue smiled and shook her head:

"Kiana, don't worry. I have worked under him for more than 20 years. Although I can't say that I can see through him, I can still hear many hidden meanings."

"Although I don't know what his conspiracy is, I know that I am still useful in his eyes, so he won't do anything to me."

"Besides, I am an S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny after all. As long as Otto is still the Bishop of Destiny, he is my leader."

Seeing that Kiana's doubts were dispelled, Cheng Lixue turned around and bowed to Fu Hua:

"Master, I am unfilial and cannot continue to stay by your side. But I believe that we will meet again soon."

"…Lixue, take care on your journey."

Looking at Cheng Lixue's receding back, Fu Hua felt a mixture of emotions in her heart. At the same time, she secretly made a certain decision.

"Qiana, you haven't mastered the Taixu sword energy yet. After practicing for a few days, we will leave Taixu Mountain."

"Well, I'll listen to the monitor."

April 4, Destiny Headquarters, Floating Island.

Compared to 20 days ago, the building materials and the gases of various colors that could be seen everywhere have disappeared, and the damaged walls and floors have been repaired a lot. However, looking from a distance, it still looks like it has experienced a disaster.

Under the guidance of Amber, Cheng Lixue entered a high-rise building. It seemed that this was Otto's temporary office.

"The Bishop is waiting for you on the balcony on the third floor."

Amber left after saying this. Otto met with S-level Valkyries in various strange places, and Cheng Lixue was already used to it. Compared with the previous location, the balcony of the headquarters building was already quite normal.

After arriving at the location, Cheng Lixue discovered that there was a woman next to Otto whom she had never seen before.

This is a pretty woman. The first impression she gives is that she is graceful and elegant yet polite. It is obvious that she has received a good education.

The ancient costume she was wearing suited her very well, and it also reflected her straightforward, free-spirited, yet rule-abiding personality. Seeing her dress, Cheng Lixue immediately thought of Lin Chaoyu.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is her proud breasts. Compared with her, Cheng Lixue looks much thinner.

"Rakshasa, is she the one you asked me to wait for here?"

Before Cheng Lixue could speak, the other party's eyes were already looking at her.

"That's right, Su Shang. Although you have never met each other, you have a deep connection with each other. Let me introduce you to each other."

"Cheng Lixue, this is Li Suchang, the disciple of Chiyuan's fifth disciple Cheng Lingshuang and the daughter of the seventh disciple Qin Suyi. She was seriously injured 520 years ago and could not be treated at the time, so I put her into hibernation."

"Su Shang, this is Chi Yuan's eighth disciple over 30 years ago, and also the S-rank Valkyrie of destiny, Cheng Lixue."

"Lixue, Suchang has just woken up and is not used to modern society yet. Your next task is to take Suchang with you and help her get familiar with modern society."

After Otto finished speaking, he left without looking back.

"I haven't seen you for over 500 years, and the Rakshasa are still the same as before, leaving at any time..."

Li Suchang grumbled in dissatisfaction, then took a few steps towards Cheng Lixue, then bowed with both hands and lowered his body in a very respectful manner:

"I am Li Sushang, the eldest disciple of the Supreme Freedom Sect. I am honored to meet you, Master."

Seeing this nephew, who was about 500 years older than him, saluting him, Cheng Lixue hesitated but finally accepted the salute.

After all, not to mention that Cheng Lixue's mental age may not be younger than Li Suchang, it is not uncommon to see people who are young but of high seniority in the martial arts sects.

"…Su Shang, in this era, there is no need to stick to these etiquettes."

Li Sushang scratched his head in surprise:

"Ah... Really... It seems I have a lot to learn..."

Cheng Lixue smiled calmly:

"Su Shang, there's no need to be so nervous. In modern society, people are still divided into different classes based on wealth, status, ability, and other standards. But even the poor people no longer have to kneel down to greet high-ranking officials or even heads of state. Instead, they stand and cheer and applaud. The distance between people is closer than before."

"Of course, according to ancient Chinese sayings, a prosperous era is one where almost no one starves to death for many consecutive years. In this era where everyone can meet the most basic needs of food and clothing, people are definitely living better than in any other prosperous era in history."

"...So, where does Su Chang want to start understanding?"

Li Sushang blinked:

"Food is the most important thing for people, so let's start by getting familiar with the places where we eat... But, we should not be in Shenzhou now."

"Well, we are now above the Mediterranean Sea... uh... the distance from here to the Kipchak Steppe in the east may be farther than the distance from the Kipchak Steppe to Beijing in the east."

"So that's how it is... Is the hometown of the Rakshasa people nearby?"

"Yes. There are many employees from Shenzhou in Tianming, so there are chefs who can cook Shenzhou dishes in Tianming's cafeteria. If you want to taste Shenzhou's delicacies, you don't necessarily need to go to Shenzhou..."

"Ah, that's really convenient. I'll trouble you to lead the way."

After they left the high-rise building, Li Sushang was immediately attracted by the various high-tech devices in the Tianming headquarters and kept looking around. Her dress also attracted the attention of many people.

"That... is Lady Cheng Lixue, right? Who is the person next to her in ancient costume?"

"Alas, that's not some ancient costume. It's the armor of the fourth generation Valkyrie of the Destiny: Jade Knight Moon Scar. It just looks like Shenzhou's ancient costume."

"The fourth generation Valkyrie armor, that's not the same as the one worn by Lady Rita and Lady Youlan Dell... That's right, anyone who can chat and laugh with Lady Cheng Lixue must not be an ordinary person..."

Feeling the curious gazes of the crowd, Li Suchang felt it was very lively.

"It seems that Master-aunt is very popular here. I can see that what surprised them the most was not me, but my presence by your side."

"...By the way, Su Chang, remember to call me by my name in front of others. Because the identity of the master still needs to be kept secret, in the entire Tianming, besides the bishop, the only two people who know Chi Yuan are you and me."

"Ah...Okay, Master...Lixue."

After Li Sushang changed her address, Cheng Lixue breathed a sigh of relief. Although her address was correct in terms of seniority, it was precisely because they were disciples of the same sect that Cheng Lixue could tell at a glance that her attainments in Taixu Sword Qi were far superior to his own.

In her ears, Li Sushang's address to Cheng Lixue was like someone who was better than her in what she was good at calling her teacher. Coupled with her actual age, Cheng Lixue always felt that it sounded very strange.

"Lixue, are we there yet?"

Cheng Lixue looked in the direction of Li Suchang's finger and saw a sign not far away:

"Authentic Chinese cuisine, General Tso's Chicken is 20% off today..."

"Um... not yet. This so-called "authentic Shenzhou cuisine" is just a means to an end. It is actually prepared for non-Shenzhou people. At least for now, among all the Shenzhou delicacies, there is no "General Tso's Chicken"..."

"Alas, but the name Zuo Zongtang should be from Shenzhou."

"Yes, she was from the Qing Dynasty... a Chinese from China more than a hundred years ago. He..."

The two of them walked and talked until they came to the restaurant recommended by Cheng Lixue.

"Now, to pay, you only need to swipe your card or use electronic payment. You don't need to carry any cash when you eat."

Cheng Lixue noticed Li Suchang's gaze and knew what she was thinking, so she immediately explained to her.

"Electronic equipment...?"

"Well, I have to explain this slowly from the beginning. Let's eat first."

"Then... I won't be polite."

Li Suchang, who had not eaten for 520 years, saw the table full of delicious dishes. She immediately put aside her doubts and picked up her chopsticks to eat.

"For someone like Su Shang, it's not very difficult to integrate into today's society, even if there's a cognitive disconnect. It's just that..."

"At this time, you awakened her, a person whose destiny is second only to Youlan Dale, and put me in charge of it... Bishop, what exactly do you want to do..."
