Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Log

At this moment, Yagokoro Eirin and the others, who only wanted to live in seclusion, did not object to communicating with this sudden stranger.

Yukari Yakumo smiled and steered the conversation: "Speaking of which, aren't you all curious about the yokai evolution that Kei-kun mentioned earlier? This matter itself has nothing to do with Kei-kun, but he is quite sentimental, and he only paid attention to the yokai issue because of our relationship."

"As you all know, the reason why youkai can survive in Gensokyo is ultimately because Gensokyo can still produce the [fear] that youkai need. But what if one day Gensokyo can no longer produce [fear]..."

"Where should the monsters go from here?"

******

It was past 9 p.m. when the banquet ended, and the monsters on their way home were all somewhat dazed.

At this time, Yuuka Kazami and Yuugi Hoshiguma, who were still at the Hiroshi "820" Reishi Shrine, were pioneers who dared to try evolution. Of course, they were not the only two yokai who dared to try evolution. This result was actually a decision made for the sake of prudence.

Furthermore, a considerable number of diary copies were distributed tonight. Almost everyone who participated in the banquet received a diary, including Eirin Yagokoro, Kaguya Houraisan, Mokou Fujiwara, Keine Kamishirasawa, Yuuka Kazami, Yuugi Hoshiguma, Suika Ibuki, Alice Megatron, Marisa Kirisame, Reimu, Remilia, Sakuya Izayoi, Aya Shameimaru...

In addition, Patchouli, Kanako Yasaka, Suwako Moriya, and Sanae Kochiya, who did not participate in the banquet, were also present.

The live stream room became incredibly lively due to the arrival of so many female monsters, with Black Tower Silver Wolf and others cheering them on.

[Black Tower: Welcome, welcome! I was watching the live stream and wondering when Gu Jing was going to give you guys the diary copy, but I didn't expect this result. He just wiped you all out in one fell swoop! *winks*

[Silver Wolf: Isn't this basic procedure? Gensokyo is full of beautiful female youkai, after all. I'd be surprised if someone could resist!]

[Gu Jing: But haven't I always gotten to know the person first before giving them the diary? This is a legitimate and healthy friendship, right?]

[Silver Wolf: Who would believe that? Kaffa, do you believe it? @Kaffa?]

[Kafka: Well... if we replace the 'good' in 'good friendship' with 'with,' I think it would be more fitting.]

[Qingque: Hiss~~ The chariot is like the wind, its sound like an arrow; its wheels fall like swallows, crushing my face. The chariot has no shadow, its wheels have no trace; its tracks do not cover the ground, but cover my face!]

[Xingbao: Car! What a fast car!]

Everyone: "..." (Beautiful girl blushing.jpg)

Seeing the increasingly heated discussion among Silver Wolf and others in the comment section, Eirin and the others, who immediately understood, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. However, they now understood what was going on; this diary instance was for communication.

[Kanako Yasaka: It's possible to have real-time conversations with people just by using a diary? If that's the case, it's something incredible.]

[March 7th: That must be something extraordinary, and it's not just a simple real-time chat. In fact, we're from another world!]

[Yagokoro Eirin: Just as I thought.]

[Yagokoro Eirin: Nice to meet you.]

[Kanako Yasaka: Hmm—!!! Great-Grandma, you're here too?]

[Gu Jing: Pfft~ Speaking of which, I just remembered something. Most people who know Gensokyo refer to Eirin, Yukari, and Kanako as the 'Three Big Eight of Gensokyo,' but actually, Eirin is older and more senior than them.]

[Gu Jing: Kanako is Takeminakata in Japanese mythology, one of Ōkuninushi's many children. Ōkuninushi, in turn, is Susanoo's child. Based on this lineage, Kaguya is Kanako's aunt.]

[Yagokoro Eirin: However, you should also know that being older or of a higher generation is not something for a woman to boast about.]

[Gu Jing: But in my opinion, this maturity that comes with age actually makes Yonglin look even more charming.]

At this point in the conversation, Eirin Yagokoro didn't continue the discussion, and Gu Jing didn't dwell on it, smiling as he looked at Yuuka and Yuugi in front of him:

"Are you two ready?"

Upon hearing this, Kazami Yuuka, whose expression was unreadable, nodded slightly to indicate that it was no problem, while Hoshiguma Yuugi laughed and replied, "Of course!"

"So--"

"Let's welcome a new life!"

******

Standing in the courtyard of Hakurei Shrine, witnessed by Yakumo Yukari, Yakumo Ran, Yuyuko, Youmu, and Reimu, Gu Jing raised his right hand and flicked his finger. Two beams of light shot from his fingertip and entered the foreheads of the two women respectively.

After performing this action, he explained: "Generally speaking, the path of cultivation is about cultivating a person's essence, energy, and spirit. Therefore, there are roughly three locations in the human body used to store energy, which are also known as the upper, middle, and lower dantian."

"The upper dantian is located at the glabella on the forehead, also known as the Niwan Palace."

"The middle dantian is located at the Tanzhong acupoint in the chest, where the ancestral qi gathers."

"The lower dantian is located at the Guanyuan acupoint on the Ren meridian, three inches below the navel, and is the place where essence is stored."

"Whether it's a monster or a god, they are all life forms born from their own concepts in this world."

"Based on my observation just now, most of you have developed and utilized your upper and lower dantian."

"Of course, these three paths are not of different strengths or weaknesses, they just have different focuses."

"Generally speaking—"

"The upper dantian is mainly used to develop spiritual power."

"The middle and lower dantian are mainly used to develop physical strength."

"And the [Demon Power Core] I am about to create for the two of you is a unity of essence, energy, and spirit."

"It can cultivate spiritual power, develop physical power, and also absorb and store energy."

"One can specialize in one path, or cultivate two or three paths simultaneously."

Simply put—

"It unifies the two concepts of being monsters into a single seed of power."

"The energy that the two of them obtained during their cultivation."

"It's the nutrients that make the seed grow stronger..."

"How to develop."

"It depends on the choice of the two of you."

At this point, those watching the live stream could clearly see that a diamond-shaped crystal had formed on the foreheads of both Kazami Yuuka and Hoshiguma Yuugi.

This rhombus-shaped crystal is a perfect regular octahedron. Yuuka's core is green, and there is a sunflower pattern inside. Yugi's core is blood red, and there is also a unicorn demon pattern inside.

Moreover, as the two cores were fully constructed, Yuuka and Yuugi's bodies became somewhat ethereal, but then solidified again in the next second.

When they opened their eyes again, both of them had a gleam of eager anticipation in their eyes, their fists clenched, their eyes filled with barely concealed excitement.

******

During this process, Yasaka Kanako and others who were previously unaware of the situation learned what Gu Jing and the others were doing through the explanations of the others. Now, seeing Yuuka and the other two so excited, she couldn't wait to ask them questions in the live broadcast room.

[Kanako Yasaka: How are you two feeling, @Yuuka Kazami and @Yuugi Hoshiguma?]

[Hoshiguma Yuugi: Haha! That's awesome! I've never felt so powerful! But that's not the point—the point is I don't need [fear] anymore! Even without [fear], I won't disappear!]

[Yuuka Kazami: Not only that, this demonic energy core also has strong growth potential. I poured my previous power into it without any loss. Moreover, this core comes with an energy conversion rule that can convert soil, sunlight, air, and water into corresponding energy, thereby continuously strengthening itself!]

[Hoshiguma Yuugi: Huh? You can transform so many things? Why can my core only transform things like resentment, bloodlust, and malevolent energy?]

[Gu Jing: This energy conversion rule actually depends on your own concepts. Youxiang's concept is that of the master of flowers in all four seasons. Rather than a flower spirit, she is more like the embodiment of nature. Yongyi, as a member of the demon race, is naturally different from her.] 0.6

[Kanako Yasaka: Converting everything into energy sounds a bit scary. Is there no limit to this conversion?]

[Gu Jing: The core's energy ceiling also depends on each person's conceptual strength. According to my estimation, if nothing is done from now on, Yuuka, as the embodiment of nature, should eventually grow into a planetary-level great youkai. The Japanese oni race holds a position in mythology equivalent to the Western dragons, and in the realm of concepts, they are among the strongest species on a planet. As the oni king, Yuugi will probably only be one level below Yuuka.]

[Gu Jing: But concepts have been explored to an extreme degree in the worlds of *Type-Moon* and *Hakoniwa*. To enhance a concept, you just need to be good at exaggerating. Even if it's just boasting, as long as the vast majority of people believe it, then what you're exaggerating is considered true!]

[Gu Jing: At this point, you should all understand that once the core is constructed, your future will be inextricably linked to human history. The stronger human civilization becomes, and the more people who believe in you, the stronger the conceptual power you possess will become.]

PS: Thank you to '**' and '天お涯' for the votes!

Chapter 297 Silver Wolf: Hiss~~ I don’t understand these things, but I am greatly shocked!

After the banquet, Gu Jing and his group did not stay at the Hakurei Shrine for long. Except for Yuuka, who took her leave, the rest of them came to Hakugyokurou in the underworld at Yuyuko's invitation. It was a garden full of cherry blossom trees.

The spirit princess of Huaxu danced gracefully against a backdrop of fluttering cherry blossoms, while the earnest Yaomeng stood by, overseeing the second banquet.

Still very excited, Yuuichi dragged Gu Jing into a drinking contest. Yakumo Yukari, who was standing next to Gu Jing, gently fed him food, while Yakumo Ran, who was kneeling behind Gu Jing, thoughtfully massaged his shoulders.

The three beautiful mature women, each with their own unique charm, gathered together, and with every move they made, a fragrance as sweet as orchids and musk wafted onto Gu Jing's face.

However, to prevent them from becoming addicted to the power of [concepts] on their first encounter with it.

After drinking the wine in his cup, Gu Jing gestured for Yuyuko, who was dancing, to rest for a while, and also recorded the advantages and disadvantages of this power in his diary.

[About the conceptual system—]

In fact, conceptual systems are not all beneficial.

[For example, it's like the White Demon in the world of "The Little Garden".]

She was originally the most powerful Star Spirit, in charge of the "Primordial Star," which governs the total mass of the universe. Later, with the establishment of the Miniature Garden Central Hub, she was also endowed with the spirit status of the "Theory of Celestial Movement." What does this mean? It means that she is in charge of trillions of suns throughout the entire universe!

At the time, she was ranked second in strength in the entire world, but as human history progressed, the theories of the Cosmic Theory were continuously refuted, and her spiritual power shrank, reducing her individual strength from second to tenth.

[Later, she was defeated by the two goddesses of creation (α) and end (25Ω).]

[Becoming the other party's dependent.]

In other words, while the power of concepts can grow stronger with the development of civilization, it can also decline with the course of history.

Choose your concept carefully!

Another example is Goetia from the Type-Moon universe.

[With a single move, "The Burning of Humanity"].

He conceptually destroyed the entirety of human history!

Who can withstand this?

Therefore, if you decide to embark on this path, you must be careful.

[The choice is based on a specific period of history.]

This history is the foundation upon which you depend for your survival.

[It must be protected.]
