I'm in the Teyvat running group

Since it's impossible to call in reinforcements because of this, there's no point in saying it.

However, Yunxiu felt somewhat exhausted after discovering this, not because she had obtained the information, but simply because she didn't know what to say.

Could you please give me a 'name'?

“Hmm…” Yunxiu composed herself before speaking, “How about calling me ‘Yunzhi’? After all, you are a rare intelligent life form in Teyvat.”

<Okay, from now on, 'Yunzhi' will be my name.>

"Then Yunzhi, I'll trouble you to study on your own for a while first. After you've learned about this world, we can talk about the next steps in our development."

Thank you for saving me; I'm willing to learn first.

He casually picked up a chip and told Yunzhi how to 'go online'. He then called over a few servants and arranged for the puppet and Abedo to rest. Only then did Yunxiu take Yueji and head towards Hanamizaka.

Seeing Yunxiu's somewhat dejected expression, Yueji couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What happened just now? You look so down."

“No… I was just lamenting that this is what they call the impermanence of life.” Yunxiu sighed and said, “That robot was made from that ‘treasure,’ the one your aunt picked up from the Dark Sea.”

"Really? I always thought these things were useless." Tsukihime scratched her head and said, "Which world did he drift from? Was it a 'planet'? What's the word again?"

“Not a planet, not even a world, but a universe.” Yunxiu gestured slightly to Yueji and said, “It’s a universe with completely different laws.”

What do you mean by 'completely different'?

“Okay, let’s assume there’s a universe where you’re not a girl, but a boy…”

"How could I be a boy? My mother and aunt used themselves as a reference when they conceived me."

“This is a completely different concept.” Yunxiu looked at Yueji and said, “Boiling water will turn into steam, and birds will fly. This is our universe, but in another universe, water may not be able to turn into steam, and birds may not be able to fly.”

After a pause, Yunxiu continued, "It's even possible that the leaves won't fall to the ground, but will fly into the sky instead. This is a different law of the universe, and you, of course, could also be a boy."

"I get it, it's like the isekai light novel 'Reincarnated as Raiden General'!"

"You could say that, but in reality, it's much further away. Those isekai light novels are more like the concepts of 'plane' and 'world.' Most 'worlds' don't extend to a single planet, while a universe is made up of countless planets and planes."

When something is so far removed from our understanding that it becomes meaningless, the existence of a product can at most provide some information.

At least for now, it doesn't mean as much to him as "world-class". Yunxiu's original idea was that if it were a relatively close planet, such as the place that Alice had visited in Wind Wings, it would be more significant.

Then, in the future, one may be able to establish a stable spatial channel, whether for refuge, to call upon people from that world, or even to manipulate magic, all of which are entirely feasible.

But if the distance is too far, it basically loses its meaning.

"Forget it, on the bright side, at least the technological level of the Fontaine faction can be improved quite a bit."

Yunxiu chuckled self-deprecatingly, pulled Yueji to the Munan Restaurant, and sat down at the counter by the entrance, casually tossing out a Mora: "Boss, two bowls of animal bone ramen, extra firm, with scallions, meat, bamboo shoots, and a soft-boiled egg."

"okay!"

The proprietress, Kinami Anna, put away the Mora and busied herself in the kitchen. Soon, she brought out two bowls of ramen and placed them in front of Tsukihime and Yunxiu.

"How did you know that there's such a thing as eating ramen super hard?" Tsukihime picked up a bowl of ramen, quickly picked out the dried bamboo shoots, and then began to eat the ramen in a rather unladylike manner: "I always thought that was a way that only old women would eat ramen."

"If I said it was a dream, I wonder if you would believe me?" Yunxiu said with a smile, "In my dream, I dreamed of many of these ways of eating."

"I'll believe whatever you say," Tsukihime said happily.

After leisurely finishing her noodles, Yueji quite unceremoniously drank more than half of the soup before cleaning up and leaving with Yunxiu.

Yunxiu didn't go back either. Instead, she and Yueji started having fun on Hanamizaka. They visited Yaedo, watched Tenmoku Juju forge weapons, bought masks, fished for goldfish, ate snacks, and even went to Coral's place to play detective...

After wasting a whole day, Yunxiu and Yueji finally returned to the magistrate's office.

"Thank you," Yunxiu said to Yueji, "for keeping me company all day."

"It's alright," Tsukihime said cheerfully. "Although I don't know what's making you down, it's good that you're happy!"

"I'm not disappointed, I'm just a little helpless." Yunxiu shook her head. "But life is unpredictable, maybe the next thing will be a good thing?"

"The next thing is the Divine Cherry Blossom Exorcism," Tsukihime reminded him cautiously. "The final preparations will begin in just a few days."

"I know."

Yunxiu looked at the moon before speaking seriously:

"I know."

-----------------

Although it's impossible to call in reinforcements, getting some information is already good enough, but it's better than nothing.

Yunxiu quickly adjusted his mindset. After all, having experienced the huge changes in the timeline, he had already tempered his mentality to a high degree.

After entrusting the technical coordination and development of Yunzhi to Puppet and Abedo, and having Sugar learn from them, Yunxiu quickly devoted her energy back to the development of magic.

He now held almost no secrets about spells below the legendary level, and soon he developed a large number of spells, covering both offense and defense.

He even began developing a series of mental intimidation spells by combining [Collapse Reality] with [Meteor Explosion], such as a powerful area-of-effect spell that could both intimidate and destroy by combining [Meteor Explosion].

With his current powerful spell development abilities, the biggest bottleneck for this spell right now is actually naming it...

After racking their brains to finally come up with a name for this spell, "Meteor Fusion," this area-of-effect attack spell was finally completed.

Meteor Fusion: Eight Rings/Energistic System

Define an area, currently with a maximum diameter of 120 meters, and summon a meteor to explode at the core. Every enemy within the area must undergo a DC28 Dexterity saving throw, or suffer 20D20 fire damage and 20D20 impact damage.

While taking damage, the enemy will be hit by a massive shockwave, fall into a stunned state for an additional 15 seconds, have their saving throw reduced by half, and ignite all flammable materials in the area.

After spending several days poring over spells, he finally received Arecino's arrival from Mondstadt.

She first handed two coins to Yunxiu, then elegantly picked up a cup of black tea before speaking, "Rosalyn has arrived. Do you want to see her?"

"Hmm? Let's meet him." Yunxiu replied while playing with the coin.

Arecino nodded and asked Linnie to go to the island to inform Rosalyn to come over. Then she and Linnie leisurely began their afternoon tea time.

Yunxiu took out the three coins she had already obtained and compared them with the two coins. One of the coins had 42 teeth and the other had 44 teeth, and they looked exactly the same as the two coins she had in her hand.

This made Yunxiu curious. Could these coins simply be different "batch" sizes?

The runes on the back are actually similar, with only minor differences, and the Cecilia flower on the front is exactly the same.

There's actually nothing strange about putting five coins together.

"That's really strange." Yunxiu said with considerable doubt, "Since it can be placed together with the box, it means that the coin must have something to do with it, but what is its purpose?"

It seems that only by continuing to collect more information can we perhaps find out what this thing is actually used for...

With coins, comics, and runes, Yunxiu has more and more ways to collect information, but she also has more and more doubts. Yunxiu knows very well that what she is missing is something that can connect the whole story.

But what's missing?

I'm just a bit lost here.

Even though he himself was the key figure, no one knew the true timing until that crucial moment arrived.

"If I could meet the witch Nicole, I would have her give me some information..." Yunxiu shook her head.

He himself had tried prophetic magic, but the results were extremely poor. Teyvat's timeline seemed to be in a rather extreme "locked-in" state.

No matter how many times I look at it, the result seems to be the same, and no matter what I do, the result doesn't seem to change.

Even in many future scenarios, the ending doesn't even happen to him!

It is very likely that if one cannot reach a certain level of existence, one cannot break the so-called "time" constraint. This is Yunxiu's most helpless situation, and it also made him deeply understand the difficulty of prophetic spells.

Of course, if they could meet Alice or Nicole and obtain some information, that would be a different story altogether...

As I was pondering this, I saw the former Executor of the Fools, "Lady," walk in. The madness and pain of the past were gone from her face, and flames no longer clung to her body.

She wasn't even wearing the iconic Fools uniform.

She slowly walked to Yunxiu's side, glanced at Arecino, and said, "If you can revive Rustan like you revived Clementine, I am willing to serve you."

“Resurrecting Rustan is too difficult.” Yunxiu glanced at Arecino before speaking:

"I can't even make a promise to you without at least five years."

Chapter 158 The Witch's Past and Imagination (First update on Wednesday!)

Yunxiu wasn't lying to him.

The reason why reviving Aru and Clementine was relatively simple is mainly because their souls still existed; to put it bluntly, they were not actually "dead."

At most, they would only die from bodily dysfunction, and resurrection would be relatively simple.

In a fantasy universe, you could be reborn from the ashes.

However, once you truly die and merge with the ley lines, it's a completely different story. Resurrection would mean fighting the ley lines for your soul...

Furthermore, was Rustan's soul torn apart or devoured during his battle with the Abyss? If he was taken outside the world by some Abyss monster, then forget about it.

Therefore, reviving Rustan is very troublesome.

At the very least, you'll need a Legendary Wish and a Legendary Resurrection. If the Legendary Wish can't locate or restore the soul, then you might need other spells...

In terms of difficulty alone, it's not much different from treating Shen He. And the cost of activating a legendary prayer spell is so high that Yunxiu is unlikely to make that sacrifice for the lady.

Legendary spells are divided into two types: simple damage or shields, and some special types of spells. Simple damage spells are very simple; it's just a matter of how much force you use to create a miracle.

However, magical spells like wishing, time manipulation, and time stop are extremely expensive.

If you don't want to incur the cost of reusing it? That's fine too. Legendary Wish spells can be permanently forgotten after being used once, and the probability is not low.

When Yunxiu modified her variant rules, she added the option to pay the cost of use with other items, but the cost must be balanced.

In other words, when you pray to find a powerful being and want to locate their position, the cost is that another powerful being of the same level is sacrificed—of course, you can capture a monster instead.

Even if Yunxiu truly advances to the legendary level, the first person she will want to save will definitely be Shen He, and Shen He's Lonely Star Calamity requires a total of six similar spells.

Legendary Dispel, Legendary Fate Weaving, Legendary Mind Barrier, Legendary Energy Reshaping, Legendary Symbiotic Contract, and the final Legendary Prayer.

Judging from the cost of Yunxiu's [Weakening Prayer] spell, Shenhe's six spells will likely burn more than twenty legendary materials...

That's enough to forge three or four top-tier artifacts!

So in other words, Rosalind's requirements, though slightly lower, are basically equivalent to a piece of armor from the movie Rai, namely, the armor of the Magatsu Mikami.

As for Yunxiu ascending to the throne of godhood and being able to revive Rustan with a single word, that won't matter then...

But by then, the lady was of no use to him anymore.

"Is there really no way?" Rosalyn slumped down opposite her.
