Honkai Impact: Did you meet the First Herrscher when you first arrived? !

"Why do birds fly?"

If asked this question, countless captains will immediately think of an old man who started talking about philosophy before he even graduated from university.

As soon as they disagreed with something, they drew their Skyfire. In the end, the three royal families could only rely on cyber violence to defeat our invincible ancestor Kevin.

You know, Old Man Kevin is just tired, not dead. Besides, a world without Mei is not important at all!

Li Ming looked at the little Otto now. He was very curious about what different opinions the bishop, who had not yet become the god of pure love, had.

“Birds, why do they fly?”

There was a flash of confusion in the butler's eyes, and he was even a little angry. He felt that this new nobleman was a little lacking in etiquette, while a light flashed in little Otto's eyes.

"I thought it was a no-brainer, and it was ultimately explained as the birds' instinct, just like our instincts, rather than why they wanted to fly."

Li Ming recalled the plot of the final chapter at that time. Not only that, he began to think about what made Kevin, who originally looked careless and thick-skinned, become what he was later.

Birds - Why do they fly?

Li Ming, who had never thought about this question for a while, was obviously just looking for fun, but he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Just like we can see, can go on expeditions, and can move forward, it is precisely because I know that there is such a city and such a place in a distant place that I have come here from afar, from Shenzhou..."

Originally the butler wanted to say something, but after noticing Otto's expression and Li Ming's tone, he still maintained the qualities of a butler of the Apokalis family.

"Many people have walked with me on this journey, and some have given up one after another, but they did it instinctively. However, they gave up their undergraduate studies, so why didn't the birds give up this instinct?"

Li Ming and little Otto looked at each other, looking at the green pupils, as calm as a piece of jade, transparent and clear.

Little Otto thought for a while and then said, "Birds can fly because of their unique body structure and physiological adaptations. Birds' bodies are streamlined, which reduces resistance during flight. Their bones are light and strong, with hollow spaces that reduce overall weight. At the same time, their wings are made of feathers and bones, and their shape and structure are suitable for generating lift and thrust. According to the formula..."

As soon as the topic of formulas came up, Otto began to talk nonstop. Yesterday's formula was indeed different, but it also made him discover something he had not noticed before.

Li Ming smiled. "But if we could go back to the origin of the world and see the first bird, it must have never had wings. What it had at that time was not the wings it obtained after praying to the gods - but a heart that wanted to break through the sky!"

“The church once said that everything in the world was created by God, and Aristotle once wrote in "History of Animals" that "the progress of nature from inanimate objects to animals is a gradual process, so due to its continuity, we can hardly perceive the boundaries between these things and which side the intermediate objects belong to. After inanimate objects, plants came first... The process of changing from these things to animals is continuous...", so this is not instinct, but the transformation and evolution of species again and again. After repeated changes, it has evolved into the birds flying in the sky today, just like a mathematical formula. Based on Archimedes' formula, I can also deduce more formula changes, which does not mean that the previous formula is useless."

Li Ming's gaze suddenly came back to focus on little Otto, which was different from Kevin's theory of survival of the fittest, but very similar.

That's why Kevin didn't kill Bishop Otto immediately when he saw him.

But it’s true, the Bishop in BengBeng is even more terrifying.

"Hahaha, very smart, worthy of being the young master of the Apokalis family." Li Ming suddenly realized that he was not Kevin, and he could not understand the vicissitudes of life that Kevin had experienced after 50,000 years of changes.

But because of this, he is Li Ming. If we distinguish people based on certain characteristics, one is a hero and the other is a mortal.

Then Kevin is a hero, a well-deserved hero after being called the savior.

Li Ming, on the other hand, is a mortal who is always fussy about everything, cares about trivial matters, and is always thinking about the daily necessities of life.

"But if I can really do it, then being a hero wouldn't be bad at all..." Li Ming murmured, thinking about something.

Thinking back on everything that had happened since the time travel, if the old man's affairs could not be changed, and the father-in-law's affairs had only been slightly changed, Ragnar had accelerated the birth of the Second Herrscher through his own influence, which in turn caused his death, but the Valkyrie Assault Corps was not left with only Himeko as before, although the organization was still disbanded.

So now Li Ming doesn't want to follow this fixed plot to follow the original story. If there really has to be a happy ending, it is the ending he chooses.

The silver coin engraved with a cat's paw was still lying quietly in the backpack, shining brightly, just like Padu's eyes.

Li Ming took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly became deep. After tidying up his expression a little, he returned the wooden bird in his hand to little Otto.

"In fact, if they don't want to fly, then maybe those birds will turn into fish or tigers. But who knows? Isn't it because of this instinct that humans continue to progress?"

Little Otto's face showed a maturity that was beyond his age. He raised the wooden bird in his hand and easily removed its wings.

The lonely torso looked a bit ugly. Li Ming touched his whole body, but it seemed that there was nothing suitable for a gift. After feeling around for a long time and being silent for a while, he reluctantly handed the pass he carried with him to Otto. On the pass were stamps of the checkpoints that Li Ming had passed through along the way. This was a rare souvenir second only to his diary!

"This is a customs document. It has seals and inscriptions of the places I passed through on my way from Shenzhou. I'll give it to you as a meeting gift, young master."

Otto looked at the small book in his hand with some curiosity. The outer layer was wrapped in precious cloth and there were patterns on the corners. He opened the pass document and saw seals of various sizes covering every page.

"Thank you for your gift."

Otto knew that this must be something very precious. The stranger in front of him could not be an ordinary person to say such words. And Zhang Ke was said to be a very important thing in Shenzhou.

"You're welcome. I should thank you." Li Ming smiled and waved his hand indifferently. "Oh, I've wasted a lot of time. Please continue to lead the way, butler."

The butler's face looked a little ugly, but he did not lose his temper on the spot. Instead, he changed his expression and continued to take Li Ming into the territory of the Apokalis family.

"A heart that wants to break through the sky?"

Otto thought for a long time and felt that there was still room for improvement in his wooden bird. The current wooden bird could not fly very far, it was shaky and had many limitations.
