I'm in the Teyvat running group

Therefore, it can be completely confirmed that Yunxiu has set her sights on the sorcerer monk Huo Dewang from the Kingdom of Zhidong.

Based solely on their current motives and capabilities, this person is almost the only possibility.

Chapter 211 Existence is a Paradox (Third update on Saturday!)

Who is this wicked monk, Huo Dewang?

Although Yunxiu has not been seen yet, based on all the information available so far...

Even someone as inhuman as the PhD student becomes as adorable as a child in his presence.

Even among the group of humanoids who were "shining like stars" during the winter, Hodwang was someone who could hardly be classified as humanoid.

As we all know, the second-ranking member of the Fatui, the "Doctor," was expelled from the Church of England. From all the descriptions, we know that many people in the Church of England are already quite human-like, such as the Great Sage Azar.

We are all well aware of his humanoid deeds. Of course, the Church of England had always been humanoid for five hundred years, but even so, the Doctor was still expelled.

However, the doctor's behavior was nothing out of the ordinary in Canria. Many studies were commonplace in Canria, at least in Canria's "Deep Secret Institute".

As we can see from the storyline, much of the research at the Deep Institute is focused on the Abyss and various strange products. If the Doctor had gone to the Deep Institute, he might have returned to the sea like a dragon returning to the ocean. Unfortunately, by then, Kanria was already gone.

But this Huo Dewang was someone who had been expelled from the "Secret Academy"!

His extraordinary abilities are further demonstrated by what he did later in Nordkalé.

For example, regarding the so-called 'Bloodline Purification Project', we all know that the current Moon Singer of the Frostmoon Child is Rauma, while five hundred years ago it was Aiira. If you complete the map puzzle of the Isle of Hixi in Nordkale, you can see this saintess.

She and her sister Elie were born through a bloodline purification project, which involved continuously feeding them with the blood of their own kind, ultimately resulting in the birth of these two sisters.

Elie died during her adventure with Redmiller.

Aiira became the first Moon Singer, guiding the Frost Moon Child to this day.

Such a tragic accident was merely a minor incident in Huo Dewang's life.

At least in the land of Nordkale, if you discover something bad that you don't know who did, then you shouldn't doubt it; it's highly likely that they were the one who did it.

It's not surprising at all that they've now set their sights on Fontainebleau.

Fontaine is not actually that far from Nordkale, and as the House of Hearths gradually slips out of the Queen's control, it's quite normal for someone to take over Arecino's place and do some bad things in Fontaine.

Having sorted things out, Yunxiu roughly understood the sequence of events.

Now only two questions remain.

If it is possible to impersonate Fryna, then what means would be used to impersonate her?

Among all these clues, why did Agoria perish?

Yunxiu was certain that even if the five members of the Fools went all out, even with the addition of a demon monk, they wouldn't be able to do anything to Egolia, after all, she was the true water goddess!

"Then you can rest in my demiplane for now. I still need to continue exploring downwards." Yunxiu glanced at Arecino, and seeing that she didn't object, she waved her hand and took Arecino into her demiplane.

"Speaking of which, what exactly is 'March'?" Tsukihime sighed, looking at the traces left by Arecino's battle. "I think I've heard my mother mention it many times, but she herself wasn't willing to tell me much."

"It's probably because your strength was too weak back then. 'March' herself might have been connected to Inazuma," Yunxiu said with a smile. "If you ask your mother now, she'll probably tell you a lot of things."

"Then tell me something," Tsukihime said after thinking for a moment. "I also want to know why I'm called Tsukihime. Am I also related to the moon?"

"Alright... I'll tell you what I know." Yunxiu didn't want to do anything too discouraging, so she told Yueji some things she could tell him.

To put it simply, this is actually quite interesting.

Because of this timeline, the creation of Tsukihime actually has nothing to do with the idea of ​​a puppet ruling the country in the movie.

Therefore, the material of the Tsukihime doll itself is much better than that of the Raiden Kingdom Collapse, which is a scattered soldier. Raiden Shin even specially used a super magical item, namely the existence of a "doll".

In the original timeline, the bodies of the skirmishers were simply made of World Tree branches; they weren't bad, but they weren't much better either.

As we mentioned earlier, it's very likely that some fragments of the broken moon also fell into Inazuma. In the Inazuma Secret Realm, it was mentioned that after the broken moon, Inazuma gradually lost contact with other regions.

The meaning here isn't actually that mysterious; it's most likely just the literal meaning.

In other words, the moon's crash did indeed have the power to change the world, and the terrain of Inazuma was altered.

So, Yunxiu had a rough idea of ​​what Yueji really was, and that she might actually be related to the goddess Hengyue.

The significance of the March Goddess's existence is self-evident.

However, an interesting thing is that if the goddess of the moon is really related to the moon princess, then Arecino in the later stages of the Crimson Moon and Columbia, the moon goddess of the Frost Moon, should be in Gestalt now.

This is a true "March convergence".

"Could this be the 'opportunity' that Barbie Ross was talking about?" Yunxiu suddenly realized that his words had actually hinted at her, and this could indeed be Yueji's chance to change her fate!

This old woman is really something else...

After hearing this information, Yueji didn't hesitate too much. After all, Yunxiu wouldn't harm her, and this girl was quite a free spirit...

The two walked down the passage, solving numerous challenges along the way.

From the earliest mathematics to the recently passed bioalchemy.

As they continued down the path, they even encountered several checkpoints related to astrology and fortune telling. Finally, the two of them reached the last checkpoint.

Unlike other levels, the level here is a puzzle, and each puzzle piece presents a problem.

Only by answering the questions will the puzzle seem to come to the correct side, and the entire wall will open, allowing Yunxiu and Yueji to reach the final destination.

And on the four puzzle pieces, there are four different questions.

How can a predetermined fate be described using a deterministic formula?

This is probably the problem with the "world-class" model itself...

Below the question were several whiteboards, and next to them were rune pens, presumably for Yunxiu to write down.

Yunxiu thought for a moment, then quickly gave her answer, which she wrote directly on the first board:

"It is indescribable, but fate is not 'destined for destruction.' A formula for certainty cannot be constructed in this situation, but we can construct a completely different approach, which is to find the 'most suitable' path amidst countless uncertainties, and ultimately break 'fate' through 'sacrifice' so that the destiny of certain destruction will no longer occur."

A flash of light appeared on the board, and the words mysteriously disappeared, but the puzzle pieces were pieced together again and again, indicating that Yunxiu had answered the first question.

But problems arose with the second puzzle as well.

"Which is mathematically superior: saving one person or saving the world?"

This is simply the trolley problem.

The trolley problem is a very interesting problem because it loves to put people in a paradox that is almost non-existent and then watch everyone bewildered.

But the funny thing about the trolley problem is that you will almost never encounter a truly perfect trolley problem.

The reason is that, in reality, many things are born out of weighing and balancing.

Take the worldview of "The Wandering Earth" as an example. The trolley problem is an objective reality. Even in the worldview of the movie, taking humanity away and enjoying life seems to be a perfect trolley problem.

But is that really the case?

If you watch the movie carefully, you'll find that the trolley problem never existed in the first place.

Why? Because before the Wandering Earth project was even proposed, solar storms had already erupted many times, destroying cities and many other places.

Without the Wandering Earth project, it would be impossible to enjoy life; one would only suffer and die amidst endless solar storms.

On the contrary, only by carrying out the plan can one survive and find some space for entertainment.

In a game, the trolley problem wouldn't even exist.

For example, in the famous game "Credibles 5", the development team actually designed a complete city operation system, traffic rules, and even traffic lights.

But will anyone actually follow it?

If a company were to create a trolley problem and let people choose, I can guarantee that most people would choose the road with the most people every time.

Ultimately, the trolley problem became a game of maximizing numerical limits.

Therefore, this problem does not exist.

Yunxiu picked up her pen and quickly wrote down her second answer.

"Saving one person is mathematically incomparable to saving the world, even if it were saving a hundred million people or saving the world. Saving the world is equivalent to saving the existence of all living beings. In the process of saving, there may be sacrifices and unavoidable situations, but only by truly achieving the ultimate goal can the majority of people survive."

This time, the wait was much longer, but soon the words disappeared and the puzzle piece was put together.

Then, the words on the third puzzle piece also appeared.

"If 'existence' requires the price of eternity to maintain, then does this existence itself constitute a denial of its meaning?"

This is yet another paradox about life itself and existence.

Yunxiu understood. Most likely, these four questions were related to life and existence. Master René spent almost all of his final stage of life dealing with these issues, which was also his ultimate goal in life.

How to save Fontaine, how to restore Teyvat to normalcy, and how to help life find its meaning—these were the things Rene pursued throughout his life.

The same applies to this issue, as does the final disagreement between René and Alain in their lives.

But for Yunxiu himself, this problem was not difficult, because he had just solved a problem about a civilization itself.

So he picked up his pen and gently wrote the third line.

Chapter 212 The Price of a Twist in Fate (First Update on Sunday!)

"The price of eternity does not exist. Even if the universe has an end, if the price itself comes from itself, it is not a denial of 'existence'. If it requires 'devouring' other existences as the price, then it constitutes a denial of 'existence', because the most important thing about eternal existence is the integrity of 'self'. At this point, the 'price' constitutes 'denial' itself."

When Yunxiu wrote this answer, she actually understood what Rene had done.

Rene's ascension to the level of a half-step transcendent was not without cost; in fact, this was precisely the reason why Rene ultimately failed.

Or to put it another way, René's actions could at most elevate him to "half a step," because he was no longer pure in his soul and in his will.

The transcendent and the descendant are not so much related to strength, but mainly to their rank. However, rank is something that cannot be achieved by simply "piling up" it.

Therefore, once it requires devouring or incurs additional costs, it negates existence itself, and existence cannot be fully maintained.

In reality, Rene's salvation could not be fully accomplished, because, as mentioned before, Fontaine's pure water spirits, under the system of natural law, inherently possessed "original sin."

Even if René can indeed save and reshape, without the complete power of the Ancient Dragon, he cannot transform the Fontaines into pure humans. He still has not eliminated the "original sin," but only covered it up to a certain extent.

However, will this original sin be eliminated because of René's actions?

The answer is no, because Rene's actions are actually a kind of "original sin," which is the root of the problem in the Teyvat universe, and also the reason why Yunxiu has never liked the laws of nature.

The main reason for this is that Teyvat's laws and advancement system are not complete. Although Yunxiu does not know the specific reason now, it is likely because the laws of nature have not finished everything, and what remains is a half-finished product.
