Book 6: Chapter 21:2: Root: Chen Heng, Your College Entrance Exams Are About to Start, Part 2
Flat-Chested Chinese: Itâs now 10 PM, and the college entrance exams are tomorrow morning. How much time do you think you have left?
He Who Knows Fate: Why would the world merger speed up the worldâs time?
Flat-Chested Chinese: Alright, alright. Be content. Your world just fast-forwarded a few days. Ours jumped 20 years in an instant, and I havenât said anything yet.
He Who Knows Fate: Speaking of which, Fu Hua, I didnât tell you about our worlds merging, right?
Flat-Chested Chinese: No. After I felt the world change, I asked Customer Service, and Customer Service said our worlds had merged. Customer Service said she had told you, so she didnât tell me.
He Who Knows Fate: â¦Sorry, sorry. Iâve been so busy that I forgot to tell you. Customer Service said the time wasnât certain. I thought it might take a few more days to merge. I didnât expect it to happen so quickly.
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: The real situation is that the storyline and settings are already complete, so the merging began.
He Who Knows Fate: Itâs that practical?
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Whatâs going on? Whatâs going on? Immortal, are you in my world, too?
Flat-Chested Chinese: Why are you calling me Immortal, too? Yes, Iâm in Chen Hengâs house now.
He Who Knows Fate: ??
Flat-Chested Chinese: Thatâs right. Iâm in your house.
He Who Knows Fate: Immortal, come on. I just mentioned your erotica and life-sized body pillow. Are you really ambushing me at home to beat me up?
Flat-Chested Chinese: â¦
God Sai: Is this the second time two membersâ worlds have merged?
I Have a Strong Presence: The first time was the merging of Sage Megumiâs and Hiratsuka Shizukaâs worlds.
Iron Fist Teacher: Yeah, it felt weird back then. I wasnât affected by the world consciousness because I had joined the Dimension Administrators Association. Suddenly, a lot of people appeared who were familiar with me, and I didnât recognize them. It was awkward.
I Have a Strong Presence: Indeed, it happened. However, after contacting Customer Service, you could choose to receive the information that the original world consciousness was going to give you.
Queen of Ice and Snow: The worlds of Honkai Impact 3rd and Chen Heng are both high-tier worlds with powers, so itâs not the same as Sage Megumi and Hiratsuka Shizukaâs merger, right?
Flat-Chested Chinese: Itâs indeed different. After the world merger, my original power system changed a lot. The Honkai Energy inside me was directly converted into Spiritual Energy for cultivating the Void Arts. Iâm now a Void Hollow Realm cultivator.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Void Hollow Realm? If I remember correctly, thatâs the kind of powerhouse that can destroy a nation with a wave of the hand.
Flat-Chested Chinese: Furthermore, Iâm already close to reaching the Great Manipulator Realm.
He Who Knows Fate: Thatâs a little ridiculous, isnât it?
Flat-Chested Chinese: Customer Service explained that I became a Void Hollow Realm cultivator because the Honkai Energy within me was converted into Spiritual Energy. Furthermore, I was already practicing Void Arts; fast-forwarded through 20 years, it led to my current state as a Void Hollow Realm cultivator.
Flat-Chested Chinese: Also, I didnât deliberately go to your house to ambush you. Iâm now your master.
He Who Knows Fate: Master?
Flat-Chested Chinese: Yes.
He Who Knows Fate: Whatâs going on?
Flat-Chested Chinese: According to Customer Service, your ancestor arranged for me to be your home tutor. At the same time, I am to teach you the knowledge and life experiences Iâve gained over 50,000 years.
Lord of the White Night: A divine home tutor, indeed.
Solomon: No matter what, becoming a home tutor is a bit excessive.
Flat-Chested Chinese: I donât find it excessive. Why do you think I could become a Void Hollow Realm cultivator?
Efreet: So, the Void Hollow Realm cultivation was like the tuition fee paid by the Chen Clan ancestor?
Flat-Chested Chinese: Iâm more like a tutor and bodyguard. Furthermore, my mind now contains some quite impressive techniques.
Flat-Chested Chinese: Since Iâve received the payment, Iâll fulfill my duty. Furthermore, since the Chen Clan ancestor initiated this world merger, which essentially helped humans resolve the Honkai, thanks are still in order.
Blank Never Loses: What does that mean?
He Who Knows Fate: Actually, this world merger was casually requested by my ancestor to resolve Sirinâs transmigration problem.
Umaru-chan: So, what about the Will of Honkai? Was it eradicated?
He Who Knows Fate: No, it seems to have become a conceptual demon god. By the way, howâs the part of the Will of Honkai in my Poké Ball?
Fu Hua was sitting on Chen Hengâs couch, looking at the unusually quiet (and timid) Poké Ball. She paused for a moment and replied to Chen Heng.
Flat-Chested Chinese: It? Since itâs your pet, its memory hasnât changed, and itâs trembling right now.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Is there anything about me?
Queen of Ice and Snow: Big shots are indeed different. Theyâre on a completely different scale; handling a âminorâ issue like a world merger is nothing to them.
He Who Knows Fate: Keep a low profile. Keep a low profile.
Queen of Ice and Snow: I wasnât talking about you.
He Who Knows Fate: No worries. Thereâs essentially not much difference between my ancestor and me.
He Who Knows Fate: What I can do, my ancestor can, too. What my ancestor can do, I can also accomplish by asking my ancestor for help.
Solomon: You have the air of a spoiled, rich second generation.
He Who Knows Fate: I need to think about this.
Chen Heng withdrew from reality and squatted in a corner to think.
Tomorrow is my college entrance exams, and giving up is not an option. I studied for over a decade for this one test. There was no way I can abandon it now.
However, it is also the Holy Grail War period, and if I take the exams, what about the Holy Grail War?
Chen Heng was not boasting. Besides himself and Luo Li, no one else here could fight.
It would be impossible for Doctor Roman. Itâs no exaggeration to say he is useless. He has no mana or skills; he is here simply to make up the numbers and also bring a wife home.
The Queen of Sheba? The Queen of Sheba indeed has some combat value; however, matching Golden Glitter would be tough for her.
Luo Li? Luo Li can match any Servant. However, if I return to my world, Luo Li might follow. Chen Heng clearly knew what Luo Liâs purpose in coming to this world was.
Sirin? Forget it. A puffed-up pufferfish isnât trustworthy. I might sound harsh as her elder brother, but in my heart, I know Sirin is exceedingly unreliable.
After thinking for a while, Chen Heng returned to the sofa and cast his gaze on Luo Li.
âLittle Li, letâs discuss something. I have my college entrance exams coming up, so I plan to go home and take them while fighting in the Holy Grail War. Iâll take the exams during the day and come here at night. However, Iâm afraid some Servant might ambush us in the daytime. Could you stay in this world and protect everyone? Little Li, youâre my last hope.â
âDonât worry,â Luo Li reassured him, holding her Primal Chaos Bell. âElder Brother Hengâs business is my business. Why not finish the Holy Grail War in one night? If necessary, I can defeat all these Servants in one minute.â
âNo, no, no. I can finish the Holy Grail War just as quickly, too, but the situation is complicatedâ¦.â He explained to Luo Li why he was in a hurry but didnât want to end the Holy Grail War quickly.
Yakumo Yukari had spent 50,000 points to teach Merlin a lesson to her heartâs content, after all. If he ruined her plans, he would not have the points to repay her.
Furthermore, that would mean letting Merlin off too easily, which was simply not Chen Hengâs style.
He could pay the points, but Merlin must die!
