Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: The Beginning of the Crossing, Invitation to the Chat Group

Nan Li was a Transmigrator.

In his previous life, he was scared to tears by the damage from Lord Xiadie's Dead Dragon, and his tears seeped into his computer, causing an explosion.

In a daze, he saw the figure of Yaoshi the Abundance.

However, after what seemed like a long slumber, Nan Li had just stretched.

A light arrow shot from the edge of the universe, streaking across the starry sky, and struck his lower back.

The intense pain instantly sobered Nan Li.

At the same time, he realized the truth: he had transmigrated into the honkai: star rail universe and become the Ambrosial Arbor of the Xianzhou Luofu.

Regarding The Hunt's warning, Nan Li initially resented her.

Although he was a creation of The Abundance, he hadn't done anything wicked, so why did he get such a blow out of nowhere?

Considering age, you, The Hunt, are still a junior! Brother Lan!

However, after learning that his single stretch caused the sea in the Phosphorus Abyss Realm to flood, leading to the near-total destruction of many people and buildings on the Xianzhou Luofu, Nan Li put away his dark emotions.

Moreover, with Brother Lan's initial warning arrow, Nan Li's subsequent actions were very cautious, fearing that too large a movement would cause her to shoot him again.

Although Nan Li was a creation of The Abundance, his recovery ability was astonishing.

Furthermore, the Ambrosial Arbor and the Xianzhou Luofu shared a common fate: one flourished, the other perished.

If the Ambrosial Arbor died, the Xianzhou Luofu would also cease to exist.

So, Brother Lan would most likely not kill Nan Li.

But!

Someone was afraid of pain!

The most important thing was that Brother Lan's strike also carried magic damage, directly affecting the soul.

In any case, Nan Li had no intention of taking a second hit.

So, for the initial period, he wandered as a disembodied soul, acting as an observer on the Xianzhou Luofu, silently watching the people on the Xianzhou work from sunrise to sunset.

It wasn't until the Second Abundance War broke out, and he saw the battlefield, like a meat grinder, that Nan Li couldn't help but lament the cruelty of war and the fragility of life.

As the saying goes, if one is not a plant, how can one be without feelings?

After being an observer for many years, he still had a certain affection for this place.

Thinking about the internal and external troubles and the lack of talent the Xianzhou Luofu would face later, Nan Li decided to do something.

When Bai Heng died, he secretly intervened, intercepted her soul, extracted her memory, and stored it within the Ambrosial Arbor, then silently returned a blank soul.

At that time, Nan Li only dared to make such small moves.

Any more, and he feared Brother Lan would shoot him again.

Even during the later [Rebellion of the Seditionist], when the High-Cloud Quintet fell apart, he did not intervene again.

And so, many more years passed.

Nan Li, growing bolder, took a small piece from the Ambrosial Arbor to create a body for himself and began to operate on the Xianzhou Luofu.

After many years of hard work and accumulation, he even became the Master Alchemist of the Dan Ding Division.

Later, the Third Abundance War broke out.

Nan Li, who was dispatched to the front lines to treat the wounded, decided to no longer hide his strength in order to buy time for the alchemists under him, the wounded, and the Fanghu Pearl Keepers to evacuate.

After all, having lived on the Xianzhou for so long, he ultimately couldn't stand by and do nothing.

After sighing to his subordinate alchemists, "Medicine cannot save the Xianzhou people," he plunged alone into an army of hundreds of thousands of The Abundance.

In reality, Nan Li didn't even know how many Abundance Fiends he had killed.

The approximate figure of over a hundred thousand was given to him by someone who made a rough estimate after the war.

Later, when Fu Xuan requested Jing Yuan to use the [cloud-gazing mirror] to seek help from The Hunt, Nan Li, with a strong stance, overrode all dissenting opinions and took on the task of guarding the [cloud-gazing mirror] to the death.

After all, his true body was the Ambrosial Arbor; as long as his true body was not destroyed, he could have as many such bodies as he wished.

However, after the war, Nan Li disappeared for a period, traveling across the universe.

Firstly, he had exposed the power of The Abundance during this war.

Nan Li was somewhat unsure of the Xianzhou's view on The Abundance, especially since he possessed strength suspected to be that of an Aeon Envoy.

After all, the culprit of the Second Abundance War was a certain Abundance Aeon Envoy—Shuhuo leading his army to press the border.

He just wanted to hide outside for a while first.

Secondly, Nan Li wanted to see the world outside the Xianzhou.

And incidentally, make some insignificant changes to this war-torn universe.

The recently established [Tree God Alliance] was founded by him.

It was precisely because of this journey outside that Nan Li's mindset underwent a different change, after which he returned to the Xianzhou Luofu, calmly accepted Jing Yuan and the Ten-Lords Commission's inquiries and investigations, and reassumed the position of Master Alchemist of the Dan Ding Division... Seeing Fu Xuan still staring at Qingque's retreating back, Nan Li decided to remind her to snap out of it.

"Diviner, getting angry isn't good for your skin."

Hearing this, Fu Xuan retracted her gaze, turned, and sat in the seat Qingque had just occupied, then stared expressionlessly at Nan Li opposite her.

"If Master Alchemist hadn't helped Qingque forge a sick leave note, I wouldn't be so angry."

Hearing her slightly sarcastic words, Nan Li, on the contrary, smiled calmly.

"Since Qingque could get me to help her forge a sick leave note, isn't that a skill of hers?"

"It's merely an unorthodox path, with impure intentions, making it difficult to achieve great things."

"Since Qingque is difficult to achieve great things, why doesn't Diviner just let go and stop paying attention?"

"Hmph, it's not up to Master Alchemist to tell me what to do."

Although both of them used "adult" and their words were somewhat confrontational.

However, those in the know were aware that the current Head of the Divination Commission and the Master Alchemist of the Dan Ding Division had always had a good relationship.

As for why it was so "strained" now, that had to be traced back to some time ago.

After all, the Diviner's ambition was known to all.

But somehow, rumors had spread among the populace that "the next General of the Luofu will definitely be Nan Li."

And busybodies had already thought of Nan Li's titles.

The most widely accepted among them were [Earthshaker] and [Wind-Calmer].

If Nan Li were indeed elected General of the Luofu, he would be called [General Earthshaker] or [General Wind-Calmer].

When Fu Xuan heard this, how could she tolerate it?

Throughout the entire Luofu and even other Xianzhou, who didn't know that she had coveted the position of General for a long time?

If it weren't for her fear of an illegitimate ascension, and that old man Jing Yuan guarding it tightly like a thief.

She would have kicked him aside and taken the General's throne long ago.

Now, thinking about the public's clamor for "Nan Li to take office as General of the Luofu," Fu Xuan, who was originally confident, felt very uneasy.

"I ask you, are you… not interested in the position of General?"

To this, Nan Li was quite helpless, "I've told you eight hundred times already, I'm not interested."

Recently, Fu Xuan had been asking him this question, from every other day to now every few hours.

Even now, she was still asking.

However, regarding this.

Fu Xuan was still uneasy, "Swear it."

Nan Li was very decisive, "I swear."

Because someone agreed too decisively, Fu Xuan still had some doubts in her heart.

However, seeing the former's expression, which didn't seem feigned, and considering their many years of camaraderie, she decided not to dwell on this topic any longer.

"Hmph, I'll believe you for now."

"So what are you doing here today? It's not just to catch Qingque and confirm this matter with me, is it?"

Seeing that a queue had already started forming in front of the free clinic stall, Nan Li began to urge them.

In fact, including Nan Li, a total of six people from the Dan Ding Division came for this free clinic.

Except for his side, which hadn't officially opened yet, the other five medical practitioners had already begun to consult patients.

Fu Xuan also knew that Nan Li was about to start working, and she quickly got to the point.

"The two most important matters have been resolved, but I do have another purpose for finding you this time."

"Speak."

"The medicine you gave me last time is finished; I came here today just to get some more from you."

Hearing this, Nan Li couldn't help but frown.

"Finished? That quickly?"

"Yes."

"You really think those are candy beans, just gobble them up."

"Isn't it?"

"I know you care about the Luofu, but your body is the capital of the revolution; don't ruin your health before you even get to sit in the General's position."

Nan Li naturally knew about the special nature of Fu Xuan's third eye between her brows.

One must know that the Xianzhou people's physique was also very special; although they possessed immortal bodies, they had a strong rejection reaction to foreign objects.

Therefore, as long as Fu Xuan did not transplant the third eye out, she would constantly feel continuous pain every moment.

Especially after using the third eye, that pain was at its peak.

To alleviate Fu Xuan's pain, Nan Li developed a targeted treatment formula specifically for her and made it into granular form.

Unexpectedly, Fu Xuan, due to the powerful relief effect of the new medicine, began to greatly increase the frequency of using her third eye without any hesitation.

"Alas… I don't have much stock here; after all, I didn't expect you to consume it so quickly."

"How much do you still have? Give it all to me."

"I can, but you have to promise me not to use your third eye so frequently."

"I used to, but now don't I have your medicine?"

"Tsk, be careful not to fall into Mara-Struck prematurely."

"Uh… alright, I'll try to control it appropriately."

As soon as Mara-Struck was mentioned, Fu Xuan flinched.

After all, she was still a mere young woman of just over 200 years old.

Afraid of death, she did not want to fall into Mara-Struck in her youth.

After making a series of promises, Fu Xuan, having received the medicine, turned and left, as if she had made some kind of decision.

And Nan Li then began his free clinic work for the day, while listening to Storyteller Xiyan's vivid storytelling.

Just like that, it was almost five in the afternoon.

After Nan Li helped the last patient resolve their issue, he was about to call the other five medical practitioners to pack up and return to the Dan Ding Division when a cold notification sound appeared in his mind.

"Ding ~ You have joined the 'Multiverse Correction Chat Group', please start chatting."
