Is there something wrong with playing Genshin Impact in the dungeon?

At the same time, in the 'official history' timeline, in the 'lower realm' where there are no signs of life except for Ling Shu (the original body).

"Ying's side has had quite a haul this time."

indeed.

The combined power of seven evil gods, while still insufficient for him to accomplish the great task outlined in the prophecy—to return to the primordial era and rectify all things—but…

"At least, my plans are already being actively implemented."

By now, Ling Shu has thoroughly understood most of the contents of that 'prophetic poem'.

Based on the incomplete information Cassandra transmitted through her soul at the cost of her own life...

"The second round of blazing sun does not represent 'calamity' itself."

"The root of the problem lies in the irresistible invaders from outside the world."

Ling Shu recalled the events that had occurred earlier, "It was precisely to deal with this unknown disaster that 'I' used that thing in the sky to forcibly evacuate the entire lower realm."

"To eliminate the negative impacts once and for all, we must 'return to the original era' and make good use of the 'extra three thousand years' to accumulate strength."

What kind of strength should we accumulate?

That would naturally mean further expanding the scale of the 'Temple of Time (World-Class Shelter)', fully awakening all the abilities possessed by my 'two past lives', and activating all 'Herrscher powers' for my main body and twins.

In this way, the 'Magic King (Ling Shu)' who has been hidden in the shadows for more than three thousand years will complete the 'time loop' once again with the light of the 'second round of blazing sun' at the same time.

This is the essence of what is revealed in the 'prophetic poem': [Salvation is also destruction].

The truth is: although we do not know just how powerful the 'invaders from beyond the world' are, the message given by the prophetic poem is that we must abandon this lower realm and evacuate completely.

and so……

Next, until he has collected enough 'divine power', Ling Shu will remain in this lower realm, using himself as an 'anchor' to prove his existence.

Only in this way can he truly use this 'lower realm' as a base point to return to the past of 'this lower realm'.

Instead of randomly jumping to other 'parallel worlds'.

Incidentally, the specific nature of those 'invaders from outside the world' can be seen in 'parallel worlds'.

Because the invasion targeting the 'DanMachi worldview' is indiscriminate.

The power that 'Magic King (Ling Shu)' has accumulated for over three thousand years is only enough to protect one of the worlds.

That is: the world where I and my older sister, the goddess, reside.

In short...

"The accumulation of power over three thousand years was all for the purpose of ensuring that the previous 'forced evacuation' would proceed without any unexpected incidents."

Ling Shu thought to himself, "Although I still don't know who the 'Last Goddess' and the 'Blood-Blazing Destroyer of Gods' in the prophecy are, since Miss Cassandra is willing to give her life to tell me these things, I can't let her down. I must complete the 'Time Loop'."

"at the same time……"

He sighed helplessly, "Although we can't save the other 'parallel worlds' as well, 'we (our own team)' will still contribute our strength to help the indigenous people there and fight against the foreign enemies together."

This is clearly a win-win situation.

Because, on the one hand... take Ying's situation as an example: she and Alexie and the others are already considered friends, so it's impossible for her to stand by and watch someone die.

On the other hand, fighting against invaders from outside the world in a parallel world allows one to learn about their strengths and weaknesses.

Ling Shu believes that this 'accumulation of power over three thousand years' is just the beginning.

In the future, given the opportunity, he... or rather, the 'magic king who has completed the time loop' will definitely fight back.

in this way……

"The internal troubles on Ying's side have come to a temporary end. Next, she only needs to deal with Dionysus, the urban destroyer."

"As for the other gods..."

Ling Shu felt that as long as someone like 'Ishtar' didn't jump, he could let her cause trouble for the time being.

After all, Orario seven years ago is not the same as the "canon" side. Even though the "dark faction" was completely wiped out, Orario was still in a stage of rebuilding.

Therefore, apart from Dionysus, the madman who is obsessed with the 'Feast of Madness', it's best not to kill all the other gods who are in the gray area at once for the time being.

Ultimately...

"Even if we slaughter them all, we're still far from reaching the 'divine power reserve index'."

Clearly, Ling Shu's 'dangerous' idea means:

“Once the ‘divine power reserve index’ is about to be collected, then… those gods who are temporarily used to stabilize the situation can also ‘use’ it.”

Chapter 379 Departure

Ling Shu originally thought that he might have to stay in the 'desolate lower realm' for a long time before he could gather enough divine power to 'return to the original era'.

But he didn't expect...

"Boom!"

That evening... just after Ying had finished wiping out the remnants of the 'Dark Faction', not long after Yu Lingshu himself was aware of it, a meteor struck near the 'Port City-Meilun' where he was temporarily staying.

And then...

"..."

He sensed two unusual changes.

Firstly, it seems that another soul has been 'preserved' within oneself.

Secondly, there are... two shields.

The latter was the true form of that shooting star.

Or it could be said to be: one of the main forms.

Because, as the 'other half' of the true self, she is actually a goddess.

Not long after she descended to the lower realm, she lost her life because the 'desolate lower realm' was no longer suitable for 'ordinary people' to live in.

Strangely, the phenomenon of 'divine return' did not occur at that time.

The goddess's soul went directly to Ling Shu.

Then, a message was conveyed to him.

"These two shields are divine weapons known within the Celestial Realm as the 'Shields of Aegis'."

"It symbolizes 'protection'."

"Now, it is given to you by us (the gods) to use."

"It holds everything you need."

……

At this very moment, having received these messages, Ling Shu instantly confirmed his suspicions after touching the 'golden cymbal'-like device formed by the overlapping edges of two shields…

Within it lies immense divine power.

At that moment, he understood many things.

"I see."

Ling Shu thought to himself, "The prophecy poem mentions that 'the last goddess will return to the beginning of time with firewood after losing everything'... so the 'firewood' refers to me."

The current Ling Shu is essentially 'Heavenly Fire'.

It was precisely because he had devoured the latter that he awakened the skill of 'Absolute False God'.

Therefore, the goddess who had just arrived, with only her soul residing in Ling Shu, could indeed be considered as 'carrying firewood'.

Furthermore, the vast reserves of divine power she brought were enough for Ling Shu to time travel back more than three thousand years...

"The last goddess, the goddess who has lost everything."

Ling Shu pondered to himself, "Who exactly are you? And what does 'losing everything' mean?"

The answer to this question came quickly.

"Palas, that's my name."

The goddess's soul, unlike Cassandra's lingering soul, was ultimately not unable to respond.

However, the information she provided greatly surprised Ling Shu: "There's also..."

"The Celestial Realm no longer exists."

"!"

******

What was the 'lower realm' like more than three thousand years ago?

Originally, Ling Shu was very curious about this era.

But now, even though he has set foot on this land of the times, he has no mood to appreciate the things around him.

because……

"The Celestial Realm was actually destroyed by a 'powerful enemy from beyond the world'?"

Having just completed 'time travel'... well, strictly speaking: Ling Shu, who had to rush through time, is still utterly shocked.

The heavens are the dwelling place of the gods.

The majority of the gods in the DanMachi world possess 'star-level' power.

Within the heavenly realm, they are not bound by the restriction of 'not being able to use divine power'.

Even so, the celestial realm had already been destroyed.

This……

"No wonder 'I' chose to use the 'time loop' method to forcibly evacuate the entire lower realm."

There's nothing we can do about it.

As mentioned before, Ling Shu's own 'magic' has an energy level that is inexplicably very high.
