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

(Before reading this chapter, it is recommended to read Chapters 31 to 34 of Volume . Reading with the Scarlet King may be confusing.)

Viper Star.

This is an endless grassland. Apart from a towering ancient tree, there is nothing else eye-catching.

Perhaps from the perspective of the universe, a towering ancient tree seems too ordinary, but what if some legends are added to this ancient tree. For example, what if this ancient tree is related to [the end]?

The birth of a legend must have its reasons. If there is any difference between this ancient tree and other plants on the Violet Star, it is probably its unique growth characteristics. The ancient tree will become shorter and shorter, smaller and smaller, until it regresses into a seed, and then after being buried deep underground for many days, it will break out of the ground again and grow into a towering ancient tree at a speed visible to the naked eye, starting a new round of degeneration.

But if it was limited to this, it would be nothing more than a spectacle for people to watch. What really made the high-ranking members of the Qili tribe associate it with [The End] was its ability to predict. On the first day of each cycle, strange patterns would appear on the ancient tree, just like the last king's mumbling, which was hard to understand.

However, after seeing the strange patterns, the leader of the Qili tribe, Qili himself, will have words that he can understand emerge in his mind, and these words can often predict the future of the Qili tribe to a certain extent.

Therefore, the Kui Li tribe regarded this ancient tree of unknown origin as a sacred tree. Every time the sacred tree completed a cycle of growth, a year was added to the Kui Li calendar. However, the length of each cycle of the sacred tree was different, so every year in the Kui Li was different, just like the Amber Period.

Year 106 of the Vili Era, Day 1

"My Lord...what did you see?"

Countless members of the Kui Li tribe who were kneeling on the ground asked the only leader standing, Kui Li himself.

"There will be crises. But crises... are also opportunities."

Year 106, Day 234 of the Kui Li Era. [Chi] returned to the Kui Li Planet.

"My Lord, fellow elders. The Sypath system... has been lost and has now become a hunting ground for the Bu Li people."

As soon as these words came out, many people stood up from their seats:

"This... Could it be that Bu Liren has seen through the [Dream Star Barrier]?"

"Ah... Elder Kui Lu, don't worry. If we don't take the initiative to attack, the starships that Bu Liren sees are definitely illusions."

Kui Lu's expression eased a bit, and he slowly sat back in his seat:

"Then tell me why you were defeated by Bu Liren."

Chi slowly stood up and started the online dream, sharing the situation on the battlefield with everyone in the form of a video.

"At the beginning, we hid very well, and the Buli people's beast ships did not find us. But after all, this was originally our territory. Although they could not find us, they had some understanding of our capabilities. So they noticed something was wrong and stopped before entering the ambush circle."

"The Bu Li people were very cautious this time. After they stopped, they put hundreds of thousands of fox people and other slave races into long-range weapons as shells, and fired at all the situations they thought might be problematic."

"I have to say... the Buli people's biological preservation technology is indeed advanced. When tens of thousands of fox people flew to our fleet, more than one-tenth of them were not yet dead. As a result... one of our brothers activated the starship, took the fox people who were not yet dead on board and quickly divided and ate them, and then we were exposed..."

In the scene, faced with the fresh meat delivered to their doorstep, the members of the Qili tribe were boiling water, taking knives, lighting fires, cutting vegetables, and even the Qili soldiers in charge of reconnaissance and command put down their weapons and started to feast on the food.

"Okay, we already know what happened next. We must have been attacked by the Buli people after our position was exposed. The illusion had little effect on the Buli people in the Moon Madness state. Our army will definitely be defeated. These barbarians who only know how to rob but not eat, sooner or later someone will be able to deal with them!"

The elders had no intention of blaming Chi for his defeat. After all, the Qili clan was not only a fertile people, but also a gluttonous believer. The ultimate purpose of living was to eat. If they gave up the opportunity to eat for the sake of winning a war, it would be putting the cart before the horse in their eyes.

Just like now, although the war was lost and the land was lost, the soldiers who went to the battlefield got to eat fresh meat. Isn't this more important than the war itself?

"Chi, did you have any adventures on this trip?"

Hearing this, Chi immediately perked up: "After our troops were dispersed by the Buli people, we were attacked by the Wing Makers..."

Looking at the fertile people with bird wings in the picture, the elders looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

"According to the information sent by Kui and Xiao, didn't Yu Huang order all Wing Makers to return to their planetary mother tree and prepare to jump to snatch the miracle of another group of Fertility People? How come he is here?"

"Don't panic, elders. The intelligence is correct. The Wing Makers are not Buli people and are not immune to illusions. Although this small group of Wing Makers wanted to take advantage of the situation, they ended up falling into a trap. This shows that they know very little about us. After interrogation, we learned that their leader was convicted and the entire tribe was exiled. It was purely a coincidence that we met. Ah, the timing is just right, right... Elders and the Lord must be tired of listening..."

Chi dispelled the illusion, and dozens of Qili soldiers hurriedly brought up several wooden barrels, and a fragrance wafted out.

"We pluck the feathers of the Wing Makers, brush them with seasoning, put them on the grill, and bake them until the skin is golden and crispy. This is the best way to cook them. The Lord and the elders have worked day and night, so let's have a meal to replenish our energy first."

When the elders heard about eating, their brows lit up immediately. After [虺璃] had picked the best ones, they rushed forward and each of them grilled a Wing Maker and started eating.

Soon, dozens of Wing Makers' skeletons appeared on the ground, and the elders all had greasy faces.

"It would be great if Buliren's beast ship was as delicious as Wing Maker's. The meat has two contradictory qualities: tenderness and chewiness. But it tastes... just too ordinary."

Elder Kui Lu recalled the smell of the Buli human-beast ship and showed a look of disgust.

After a short rest, Chi opened his dream again and continued to report.

"According to the interrogation of the Wing Makers, we learned that Yu Huang gathered a large number of Wing Makers to return to the Mother Tree in order to seize the Jianmu of the [Immortal Boat]."

"Xianzhou? Those people of abundance are quite good at eating, but their fighting ability is too weak. They have nothing special about them and will eventually become food... We wanted to know what the people of Xianzhou taste like, but unfortunately they were busy fighting the Buli people, so the Wing-Makers got there first..."

Seeing the elder's rather regretful expression, Chi looked towards [虺璃] who was sitting on the main seat.

"My Lord, the Wing Makers have expressed their willingness to form a rich coalition with us and attack the Immortal Boat together. According to them, Jianmu will belong to them and the population will belong to us. I wonder..."

"Refuse." Qi Li said firmly.

"The Immortal Boat is far from being a match for the Wing Maker, so why would Yu Huang bother to let us have a piece of the pie? I'm afraid he wants to kill two birds with one stone, and after he seizes the Immortal Boat, he will come back and rob us. It's better for us not to get involved in this matter. While the Wing Maker's mind is on the Immortal Boat, we can avoid fighting on two fronts when we fight Bu Liren."

"Yes, my lord is wise."

As Chi's mind moved, the scene in the dream changed, and what came into everyone's eyes was an unfamiliar galaxy.

"Although the WingMakers' attack did not cause any casualties, it caused our fleet to deviate from its original route and accidentally enter this unfamiliar galaxy... We discovered that the insect plague was spreading in this galaxy."

"After preliminary investigation, we found that there is an energy tide on the outskirts of this galaxy. Although the Zerg in this galaxy have strong reproductive capacity and vitality, they do not have the ability to break through the energy tide and fly out of the galaxy, so there is no need to worry about being targeted by other forces."

"Good, very good, very good, this is a pleasant surprise."

The leaders of the Qili tribe looked at the swarm of insects that covered the sky above the planet, and saliva flowed from the corners of their mouths.
