It's considered a traveler's exclusive weapon... because it only increases attack power by 66 points when equipped by a traveler.

However, because the sword's attributes are so poor and it cannot be refined, it is jokingly referred to by many scholars as a three-star weapon with four stars.

This also led to a meme—

"A traveler who writes as a five-star but reads as a four-star, wielding a weapon labeled as four-star but actually only three-star... how could he possibly defeat the Queen who has returned to Teyvat?"

cough cough.

In short, if you only look at the attribute panel of the 'Sword of Descent'... it's really useless.

but……

The key to unlocking the 'world' has been placed in your hands!

"?"

Ling Shu (Kong) vaguely heard a notification sound from the 'Genshin Impact System'.

But why are the words and tone so strange this time?

At that moment, he would naturally continue to ask questions.

But at this point, the 'Genshin Impact system' began to selectively turn a deaf ear again.

have no choice……

"The key to unlocking the 'world'?"

Ling Shu (Kong), who was temporarily taking a 'halftime break', could only summon this unique 'Sword of Descent' and examine it carefully in his hand.

In fact, in the original concept of Genshin Impact, each Genshin Impact weapon has its own corresponding backstory.

For example: the highly renowned three-star critical damage bow - Sharpshooter's Oath.

Isn't that a nice name?

However, because its backstory is so ridiculous, it has also been nicknamed "Stinky Feet Bow".

In contrast, speaking of this 'Sword of Descent'...

Its backstory is as follows—

"emmmm~"

Ling Shu (Kong) was a little confused.

These descriptions all sound very sophisticated and high-class.

But most importantly, there isn't much 'information' to draw inferences from.

At this time...

"Travelers, there is no need for doubt."

The old emperor, who was sitting on a rock stool and sipping tea, suddenly interjected, "You can't see the truth related to it because this sword is not a weapon that belongs to 'your present self'."

"Therefore, its true power, and its true form, cannot be activated in your current state."

"after all……"

Zhongli said meaningfully, "This sword is the key to unlocking the 'world'... but it is only a 'key'."

"The key exists for the corresponding 'door' and the 'room' behind the 'door'."

"If even the most fundamental 'room (world)' is missing, what can it possibly open up?"

After hearing these words...

"understood."

Ling Shu (Kong) took a deep breath. "In other words, this sword is actually my (original body's) exclusive weapon."

"So……"

A slight smile played on his lips, revealing an eager expression. "Let's not delay, let's find an opportunity to 'test' the effects now."

That night, Ying moved the teleportation anchor point, originally set up inside the 39th floor of the dungeon, to her own tent inside the Great Tree Sea Border Defense Line, and then temporarily left the military camp.

Then, she summoned Xiao and used its bug-like teleportation ability to go to a remote valley.

Only then did Ling Shu (Kong) use the passive effect of the 'Seven Heavenly Statues' skill to consume 'magic power' and teleport to her side.

Furthermore, for the first time outside of Orario, the split transformation state of 'Airfire' was deactivated.

That night, almost immediately after Ling Shu grasped the 'Sword of Descent', he attempted to activate the 'truth' inherent within it...

"!"

At the same time, the moon goddess, who was resting in the tent used by Hermes's family, was suddenly awakened.

Because the 'Orion's Arrow' placed beside her had begun to shimmer with a powerful light.

The inscriptions, each recorded in 'sacred script', appeared particularly restless.

It wasn't just her.

Initially, it was the goddesses of beauty who possessed the 'eyes that could see the brilliance of souls'—Freya, Aphrodite, Ishtar…—who all saw that sky-piercing brilliance, invisible to ordinary people, in the far south of the continent.

Immediately afterwards, almost all the gods who descended to the mortal realm sensed a subtle energy fluctuation.

then……

"Cough cough, damn it!"

In a secluded valley, devoid of human presence and monsters, Ling Shu lay sprawled on a patch of grass, panting heavily.

This time, it was even more 'terrifying' than the previous time when the Emperor intentionally held back his power.

In just over two seconds... really just a tiny bit of time, Ling Shu, who was trying to open the 'world', almost fainted.

Clearly, this is a precursor to entering a state of 'mental fatigue'.

However, in that incredibly brief moment, he still clearly saw the changes in the 'Sword of Descent'.

At the same time, I also fully understood what it means to be the key to unlocking the 'world'.

can only say……

"Ha, with this trick, you (Andaris) are finished."

Hahaha~

Even though Ling Shu was still lying on the ground and didn't want to move, he laughed heartily like a child as the heavy pressure he had been carrying recently was relieved.

"This world will not be destroyed."

"I said it!"

******

One week later, at 3 PM...

The location is inside the military camp of the 'Dashuhai Border Defense Line'.

"Phew~ We finally made it."

A group of elven girls were chatting away in the tent used by the Loki Familia members.

"Lady Riveria, we've had such a tough journey QAQ."

"Alright, Anqiu, you've been spoiled by Miss Ying."

"Aren't you the same? You've been complaining the whole way here about how bad the rations are and how drafty the tent is."

"..."

Indeed, just as these elven girls said, with Ying around for the first half of the trip, it felt like the group was on a hiking or picnic.

But in the second half, without the silly little sister to guarantee their food, clothing, and shelter... look, every single one of the girls looks travel-worn.

but……

"Fortunately, Lady Riveria's 'elf mage force' is also in place."

At this moment, Ying was in the tent used by her family and relatives, discussing the follow-up plan with six officers.

Artemis... even Hermes, and the current leader of the latter's Familia, the "Omnipotent One" Asphi, were there too.

"We can't wait any longer."

Ying looked around at the crowd, and when her gaze fell on the blue-haired, blue-eyed moon goddess, she said directly, "Goddess Artemis... your condition is already very bad. Considering that we still have several days to travel after entering the 'Great Tree Sea,' we must set off as soon as possible."

Hearing her say that...

"But what about Orion (Barbara)..."

Unfortunately, although the girl has been forcing herself to practice her javelin throwing skills these past few days, it seems that she can only "use" them so far.

Relying on her to deliver the decisive blow is far too risky.

But in the eyes of others, this is the only feasible method at present.

There's no other choice.

As for Ling Shu...

"I have faith in the abilities of 'our own people,' and they will never let us down at a critical moment."

His will was transmitted here via teleportation, "and..."

"The situation inside the Caios Desert is also not optimistic."

As she said...

Ordinary people... even adventurers, would find it difficult to survive in that kind of environment.

Unfortunately, the 'Scorpion of the Secret Realm' took advantage of this, turning the entire desert region into a secret passage for its 'Scorpion Split Legion' to pass through freely.

Faced with such natural advantages, even if our side wanted to establish a blockade, it would be a case of good intentions but lack of ability.

After all, a large number of Scorpion Splits with potential Lv.1 abilities have been attacking this defensive line every day recently. Under such circumstances, even with the help of the Lachia Kingdom's army, our side has no surplus to 'split troops'.

Left with no other choice, Ying even sent Xiao out every night to try to reduce the threat from the 'Chaoos Desert' as much as possible.

But this is ultimately a drop in the ocean, a solution that only addresses the symptoms and not the root cause.
