I'm in the Teyvat running group

"Really? I think it's great! Your magic system comes from the world of 'Io,' right?" Alice looked at Yunxiu with a sly smile. "Although I've never been to that world, legend has it that the gods of that world have descended upon Teyvat!"

Well... I'm not surprised at all that Alice knows about these clouds.

This adventurer from various worlds has indeed visited many planets, and is even a frequent visitor to transit stations in many star systems.

As for the arrival of the gods in this world, Yunxiu was not surprised at all after discovering Selenne's tears in the Abyss of Layered Rocks.

"I have something I'd like to ask for your help with this time..." Yunxiu began, "I want to train with 'Ms. B' from the Witch's Guild, also known as Ms. Barbie Ross..."

"Oh? That old woman? I see, that's what you're after." Alice hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I can help you, but on one condition!"

"Speaking!"

"I'll teach you this spell; you must use it!"

"?"

In the end, Yunxiu succumbed to Alice's pressure and learned this rather shameful spell...

As a mage with an intelligence of 54, he has a +48 intelligence bonus when learning spells, a level that most legendary mages would find difficult to reach.

However, Yunxiu could tell from the spell model itself that Alice had a very high level of mastery over spells, and her intelligence attribute far exceeded her own. Based on the relevant estimates, Yunxiu felt that Alice's actual intelligence bonus might be over 70 points...

However, what's peculiar is that, judging from her rank and strength, Alice's power is still within the "peak of legend" category, not reaching the level of a god.

Yunxiu quickly learned the magic, and with a slight activation, all sorts of strange characters appeared around him...

"Bushgaro Destroyer", "Wanmintang Live-in Son-in-Law", "Rock King Emperor, Son of God", etc...

The effect of this spell seems to be adjusted based on Alice's wicked sense of humor and her "anchor" in the world.

As for the term "Wanmintang live-in son-in-law", it's highly likely that Yunxiu's initial wish was indeed to become a live-in son-in-law at Wanmintang and eat Xiangling's food for the rest of his life...

"Great! Finally, I've met another person who appreciates this magic as much as I do!" Alice clapped her hands happily. "I'll contact that old woman for you right now!"

Looking at her string of shameful titles, and imagining how these titles would come up every time she introduced herself, Yunxiu felt a sudden pang of gloom in her life…

However, Alice did keep her promise, and soon a beautiful lady walked through the portal.

Looking at Alice and Yunxiu, a glint flashed in her eyes, and a strange star chart seemed to appear faintly behind her. She immediately understood what the two of them were doing here. She smiled and said, "It seems that I've been drawn into a major event again..."

“Astomanser Barbiros Trismedustus… I remember that’s the name,” Yunxiu said. “I’d like to ask for your help; this matter is really important to me right now.”

“Hmm…it is very important, and also very important to the little girl beside you,” Barbiros said. “However, her ‘fate’ is still reflected in Teyvat, and this might be an opportunity.”

"Me?" Tsukihime exclaimed in surprise, "My 'fate' will also usher in a new opportunity?"

“Everyone’s fate has a clear turning point, and you will encounter one too. But what happens after that turning point depends on your ‘choices’.” Barbie Ross glanced at Tsukihime:

"As for this Master Yunxiu, his 'turning point' and 'fate' are not within Teyvat; on the contrary, he wants to change the fate of everything."

This old woman truly lives up to her reputation as a legendary, top-tier prophetic mage. I suspect she has already glimpsed the secrets of godhood and is simply waiting for the right opportunity...

There are four or five archmages in the Witches' Guild: Alice is a legendary peak mage of the spellcasting system, there is also a legendary peak mage named Nikelion, plus Okotavia, who is at least at the legendary peak level and created the Thousand Star Wonderland, and Andersdort, who is also at the legendary peak level but does not want to prolong his life.

In terms of pure strength, the Witches' Guild is definitely the most powerful force in all of Teyvat. If we consider their status and mystique, most of them are even comparable to the Seven Gods!

At least, Barbie Ross's ability to instantly see through the entire situation is something Yunxiu wouldn't even dare to dream of in a short time. This surpasses the abilities of many characters in novels and movies, such as Doctor Strange...

“Of course, everything comes at a price, and my 'divination' isn't without its costs.” Barbie Ross glanced at Yunxiu: “As long as little mage Yunxiu gives me a copy of the 'carving knife' in the future, I'll perform divination for you this time.”

burin……

That is the moon's carving knife that alters destiny, mentioned in that proverb...

Yunxiu still doesn't understand what this thing is...

“If there’s more than one ‘Carving Knife,’ I’m willing to make a deal with you.” Yunxiu thought for a moment and agreed. Once he becomes a Legendary, he’ll likely be able to solve most things with a wish spell. At that point, he can simply use a wish spell to change his fate…

“I can sense that you will indeed give me a share in the future.” Barbie Ross nodded.

"The key to destiny lies in the deepest level of the Gestalt. You must enter with the Doll to discover how to obtain the Teardrops, then use the Teardrops to find the Book and unlock the final path."

A doll? A teardrop? A book? At this moment, Yunxiu still didn't understand, but she finally understood why this matter was so complicated, because it was closely related to "the Goddess of the White Night, Serene"!

These things left behind by this powerful god were things Yunxiu had discovered but failed to obtain before, at least not because he himself lacked the strength at the time. When he discovered the teardrop, Yunxiu was only a sixth-ring mage! When he found the clue in the book, Yunxiu was only a seventh-ring mage…

"What about my friends, Arecino and the others?" Yunxiu pressed. "I'd like to know how they are doing too."

"Consider this a bonus. They are still in a state of confusion. You just need to pay attention during your investigation," Barbiros said. "However, this event is also an opportunity for them."

After saying this, Barbie Rose vanished like a bubble, and a streak of light followed her disappearing form, landing on Yunxiu as if giving her some kind of buff...

However, after sensing for a while, Yunxiu found nothing unusual and didn't think much of it.

"That's settled then, I'm off too!" Alice picked up the Dudu communicator and handed it to Yunxiu, saying, "This is for you, I'll give Barbatos a new one!"

"Thank you, Ms. Alice. Have a wonderful vacation with Keli." Yunxiu smiled. "Please also thank Ms. Barbielos for me. I know this magic is actually not simple."

"The old woman actually enjoys doing this kind of thing when she has nothing else to do, so you don't need to worry about her," Alice chuckled. "But for you, the real test will only begin when you reach the 'Legendary' level in your 'Aio' world."

"Then I'm really looking forward to what surprises this world has in store for me." Yunxiu smiled; this was indeed something he had been eagerly anticipating!

Alice waved her hand, opened a spatial portal, and disappeared. Yunxiu put away her communicator, stood up, and said to Yueji, "Now that we have a lead and our friends are out of danger, let's rest for the night and then head to 'Gestalt'."

Tsukihime nodded: "Miss Sandone once said that Gestalt was built by the greatest genius in Fontaine's history, Master René. I really wonder what strange things might be inside!"

"Moreover, this time we might be able to unlock the secrets surrounding you, making you truly no different from a human." Yunxiu chuckled. "As for Agoria, judging from the situations of Alice and Barbiros, I suspect that this goddess may still exist, only her divine aspect has died."

"There may not be such a simple story behind this incident."

Chapter 209 The Shadow of the Four Great Rulers (First Update on Saturday!)

The Witches' Guild was indeed the most amazing combination Yunxiu had ever seen, perhaps even the most amazing one.

Although there are many powerful figures in the Witch's Guild, as mentioned before, there are four or five legendary peak characters. Many of the others who have passed away did so not because they were not strong, but because they reached the age of majority.

Teyvat is a very peculiar world where power and lifespan are not closely related, which is actually quite absurd.

Like Kinich, this powerful legend can indeed be said to be one of the youngest legendary powerhouses in Teyvat. In terms of cultivation speed alone, he is not much slower than Yunxiu, and he is very likely to be the one to inherit the role of the God of Fire in the future.

but……

He may not be able to live forever; in fact, no one in Natas's Vulcan realm is immortal.

However, many of the gods in Nata can cultivate to extremely high levels in a short period of time, just like Mavika. How old is she this year? Just over thirty.

After the Battle of Kanria five hundred years ago, Mavika fell into slumber. Before falling into slumber, she was already the God of Fire. At that time, she had reached the pinnacle of legend, or even higher, as a mortal. Recently, she was resurrected and once again became the God of Fire. She is not yet thirty-five years old.

Of course, in Yunxiu's understanding, reaching this level in a short time is not difficult. In countless universes, there are beings who are born as gods...

But Teyvat is an extraordinary world!

When lifespan and strength are unrelated, several inexplicable situations arise. Some people live for hundreds or thousands of years without reaching the legendary level, while others reach the peak of the legendary level in just twenty or thirty years but only have the lifespan of an ordinary person.

Or conversely, it's quite remarkable that the Witch Association could gather several legendary peak witches with various unique abilities.

Especially Barbiros, who is definitely one of the most amazing people in Teyvat, she can truly "see" fate!

This is also why Yunxiu sought out this great witch; at least in times like these, the only way to see one's fate and understand various secrets was through her divination, much like when Sun Wukong couldn't find the last Dragon Ball and sought out the fortune teller...

Of course, Barbie Rose is much more beautiful than the fortune teller.

If she couldn't find Barbielos, Yunxiu's idea was to ask Nikelien. This great witch could contact all the fairies on the entire continent, and perhaps she could find some clues through this clumsy method.

But now that we've found a clue, we naturally have to go inside the Gestalt.

Now that she had returned to Teyvat, Yunxiu naturally went straight back to Yueji's demiplane to rest.

It's not that I don't have any, it's just that I recently came back and haven't had time to update my manga and light novel inventory. Now that things are starting to look promising, taking a break is the best thing to do...

She was quite familiar with Tsukihime's various treasures; she regularly bought various manga and light novels every week, and even all sorts of figurines and related merchandise...

"Are these some of Inazuma's most popular merchandise items? I heard that Spirit Realm has released several very popular games now, have they released any merchandise?" Yunxiu touched Yueji's various figurines and unexpectedly discovered a few rather peculiar designs, which were actually mecha designs that were completely unseen before Teyvat.

"The hottest merchandise right now is actually yours... but of course I don't need to buy it." Tsukihime said happily, "How about you sign a few for me? You should be able to make a lot of money from that."

"Are you short of money lately? I can just give you some." Yunxiu asked doubtfully, "Wait, you're one of the generals of Otsu's army, your salary should be quite high every month, right?"

"Following up on peripheral products is a kind of fun..."

"As far back as I can remember, I've never won a single time in any activity that even remotely involves luck."

This is real.

When playing board games with friends, Yunxiu always had the worst luck. There was a time when he rolled the dice five times in a row to pass a check, and in the end, the DM couldn't pass him...

I've never won the lottery, the highest I've ever won with a scratch-off ticket is twenty, and I've never been successful in a prize draw. Just when life was finally starting to get back to normal, I was transported to another world...

While the standard cheat codes do exist, putting aside the fact that they're custom-written, there's not even a simple way to obtain them; you basically still have to level up through your own efforts.

Therefore, Yunxiu was quite envious of those who were lucky.

However, she did sign it in the end, though I don't know why Tsukihime is so enthusiastic about promoting these things...

Ever since I met her, she has been interested in these strange and unusual things, and now almost a year has passed, but her interest in these things has not diminished.

According to the original timeline of Genshin Impact, if the Traveler is moving at the same pace, it should be about time to go to Sumeru by now. Speaking of which, I wonder where Luminous has gone on adventure recently.

However, judging from Ying's situation at the time, she was probably adventuring in Liyue and may have unearthed some ancient ruins... probably.

My judgment of time is actually quite accurate. In about two or three years, Teyvat should reach the final critical point, which is when Yunxiu must consider taking people to other worlds or find a way to protect Teyvat.

The initial goal of advancing to Legendary rank within two years was quite wise. Now I have reached the edge of Legendary rank, just one step away from the 'Destiny Rank'. Once I step into it, I will basically advance to Legendary rank.

However, judging by the timeline, it should be close to the point where Rhinedoth fully integrates with the Governing Power of Life, since it shouldn't be long before the Governing Power of Death makes the captain sit on the toilet in Nata...

By the way... it seems that the Reign of Life and Agoria have a lot to do with each other?

Could it be that Egolia's recent incident is related to the Reign of Life?

A sudden and terrifying guess popped into Yunxiu's mind: the Ruler of Life had been on the verge of death, which was when the Heart of Naberius appeared. This thing was eventually devoured by Rhinedoth, and thus the two merged.

Egolia is the deity most closely connected to the waters of the primordial sea of ​​wombs. She was created by the Reign of Life and is the "heart" of the waters of the primordial sea of ​​wombs!

“If that’s the case, then Ergolia might not be dead…” Yunxiu murmured.

He had a very scary idea, but it was probably true; however, he would have to verify it himself to find out the truth.

After resting for a night, Yunxiu and Yueji left Mero Petersburg the next day.

When I woke up this morning, I had already heard the news from Fontaine. Thanks to the return of Funina, Navelette and Funina have temporarily stabilized the situation and prevented it from deteriorating further.

The blockade of Fengdan is gradually being lifted; at least now, the Spirit Realm is accessible.

Yunxiu immediately asked Navia about the current situation of the puppet and the Fools. Navia replied that the puppet had recovered and was still living in Baisong Town, but there was no news about the other Fools.
