I'm in the Teyvat running group

"Let's assume that what's inside this sphere is Teyvat right now, and what's wrapped around it is Teyvat's 'timeline,' or 'fate.' Each of these energy lines corresponds to a 'natal star,' which is each person's destiny."

"so……"

"Yes, it seems you understand. The surfaces of these two spheres are unconstrained and can flow freely!" With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed a burst of energy that swirled freely along several lines: "Given the connection between fate and time, and the fact that fate is fixed, it means that it's possible to calculate and resist a point of 'fate'!"

"Is this what René's 'world-class' is?"

“Yes, but if we collapse a piece…” With a flick of his hand, a section of the sphere collapsed, the top and bottom overlapping each other, and a new section suddenly appeared on the outside of the sphere, but there were no new energy lines.

"This is the overlap of 'time,' and at this point, the energy added can affect the existence of this 'overlapping time.'"

"So the energy that filled the gap was..." Yunxiu suddenly realized, "When Teyvat's fate collapsed and the timelines began to overlap, it was the energy of the Abyss that filled the gap!"

“Yes, that’s why the Abyss can influence time.” Kong nodded. “Teyvat’s model is just that peculiar. Even though I’ve traveled through the universe for so long, I’ve never encountered anything like it.”

"If that's the case, wouldn't controlling the power of the Abyss to erode time itself mean that the entire 'Fate' layer of Teyvat would eventually be completely eroded by the 'Abyss'?" Yunxiu suddenly realized that this was the moment when the Abyss submerged the throne, as mentioned in the PV of "Footprints"!

Now everything matches up!

Yunxiu looked at the peculiar model with excitement, as it was one of the things that had puzzled him for a long time.

Is the submersion of the throne by the abyss merely a simple power struggle, or a game of you defeating me and me defeating you? No, the true meaning is that the abyss will influence time, thus influencing destiny, and ultimately bringing everything into a new order!

“If that’s the case… the essence of time travel is actually to find the key points of the abyss’s erosion, and thus find the weakest point where the power penetrates.” Yunxiu smiled and said, “In that case, the most recent point was the large-scale abyss eruption during the Kanria Cataclysm five hundred years ago. That event must have been the most in Teyvat’s history.”

“That’s right. There were many incidents and people who took advantage of the chaos to do a lot of things, and many of them are hoping for a second time…” Sora put away the model ball: “Let’s end our meeting here. Tsukihime will be out soon, and I’ve been away for too long.”

"Wait, this is for you." Yunxiu took out a photo album she had recently taken with Ying and handed it to Kongdao: "I think other gifts are insignificant to you, this is what you need most."

Kong nodded, glanced gratefully at Yunxiu, uttered the barely audible word "thank you," and then vanished into thin air.

All spatial blockades and energy fluctuations vanished at that moment, and even the table and wine in front of Yunxiu were taken away by Kong.

Yunxiu chuckled, but then began to ponder.

"If that's the case, then I can give it a try... but my strength isn't enough right now." Yunxiu sorted out the relevant spells. If she wanted to do these things, the Prayer spell would be essential.

From the perspective of the spells themselves, the most suitable combination is the legendary Wish spell combined with the legendary Time Robbery spell. This combination should be able to briefly "send things through time" into the past, thereby changing history.

However, if Teyvat itself does not have the concept of time, then Time Raid is not very suitable. Instead, other spatial spells should be considered. Yunxiu turned her attention to the Gate of Another World, a spell that can open a gate of another world in the name of a creature.

If one knows the name of a key historical point in time, one can theoretically open the door using this spell.

Time raiding wouldn't be suitable then; time stop would be better. Combining time stop with wish spells and a portal to another dimension, theoretically, could open a time gap in Teyvat's history.

Whether it will succeed or not, we'll have to test it after we achieve legendary status...

but……

What Yunxiu is most concerned about now is, if time can be so easily and casually trampled and changed, and the history of Teyvat is constantly changing and moving forward, then do the things in history really exist?

After all, Teyvat itself has the "World Tree" as a creation, so if one wants to know the "true name," one will most likely have to look it up within the World Tree.

"Yes, that's the real reason why they say a 'name' represents how the world perceives you, like the most important thing you have in this world." Yunxiu suddenly realized, "Although I don't know how they time travel, the magic in any world should be roughly the same; they all need to use 'names' for identification!"

Your name is not only a trace of your destiny in this world, but also your 'coordinates' in the long river of time in Teyvat!

If you were to actually travel through time and need to return, you would have to rely on your 'name' to locate yourself and pull yourself back into the present timeline!

"Fate... So this is fate!" Yunxiu finally understood what Teyvat's fate meant; Teyvat's fate was related to its name...

A series of massive magical power fluctuations swept out from his body, creating waves of energy surging throughout the space. Yunxiu finally crossed the "Life Rank" level and entered the ninth ring level!

"Your 'Destiny Rank' has been fully activated. You will gain your first specialty, which will be customized based on your strengths!"

Beep beep beep beep...

The Secret Record of Myriad Laws emitted a series of sounds, and soon a panel popped up for Yunxiu to choose from:

"Please select your Fate Rank specialty. All specializations have been optimized based on your strengths. You can choose two."

A. Health Points

"B. World Correction Coefficient"

C. Energy Value

"D. Attack Power"

"E. Charm"

...How can I still be charming? Do I look like someone who lacks charm?

After thinking for a moment, Yunxiu chose energy value and correction coefficient. He didn't really need health value, as the defensive school of mages basically only had a conceptual understanding of it.

Soon, a series of specializations appeared in front of Yunxiu, and another option popped up.

"Please select an additional area of ​​expertise; you can choose one."

A. Growth Potential

"A. Spell Development Ability"

"A. Detection capability"

After a moment's thought, Yunxiu chose the ability to develop magic. The potential for growth was indeed not that important to him anymore; the combat power and development ability he had were the most important things. If necessary, he could develop a related spell later.

The Secret Record of All Laws seemed to lag slightly, but it quickly brought up the last option.

Please name your specialty.

Yunxiu pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution, so she reluctantly named it "Dao Guo No. 1".

"Your exclusive personal specialization: Dao Fruit No. 1 has been generated!"

"Your energy level increases based on your intelligence bonus, with each point of intelligence providing an additional 20% increase; currently at 440%."

"Your world modifier increases based on ring order, currently by an additional 90%."

"All stats related to your spell development ability have been doubled, currently standing at +92 points!"

This is a truly unique personal specialty that deserves to be called a "Dao Fruit," and it is unparalleled among all the specialties that Yunxiu has encountered so far!

However, Yunxiu wasn't really interested in seeing the specific effects in the short term, because Yueji finally came out, holding the [Tear of the White Night Goddess Serene] in her hand, and said to Yunxiu happily, "I've obtained this divine artifact, and now it's exclusively mine!"

"How much has your strength increased?" Yunxiu asked curiously. "The four divine artifacts should be connected, so your strength should have increased a lot, right?"

"Hmm... I can probably beat three of my previous selves now?" Yue Ji took out her long sword and swung it casually. The sword energy was actually wrapped in a strange holy light energy. This holy light combined with Yue Ji's own energy, which was extremely domineering and destructive, making Yun Xiu feel a little scared just by sensing it!

"Very good, next we'll head to the Abyss Palace." Yunxiu patted Yueji's shoulder. "Once we arrive at the Abyss Palace, we'll be able to find the 'Book' quickly, and your strength will be able to improve even further."

After thinking for a moment, Yunxiu asked again, "What exactly is the function of this 'teardrop,' and is its assessment very difficult?"

"It's quite troublesome... but you'd never guess what his test will be about." Tsukihime smiled. "However, its usefulness is certainly not that simple!"

Chapter 217 The Long Echoes of the Snow Country (Third Update on Monday!)

Yunxiu had a good chat with Yueji for a while before she finally understood the purpose of this "teardrop".

It's not as simple as it appears; in reality, this thing is a highly destructive artifact.

Moreover, his purification of the abyss is not actually a purification, but an assimilation! Therefore, all energy is actually assimilated, not just the abyss.

It was only because most creatures and things in this space had been assimilated by him that he did not encounter so many strange situations.

The test was indeed quite unexpected for Yunxiu. According to Yueji, the test was actually a peculiar puzzle with thousands of different solutions. Only by patiently solving them all could one obtain the final reward, which was this bead.

However, the flow of time is naturally different. It took Tsukihime five years to solve all the mysteries. In the end, the bead became her new "heart", which greatly enhanced Tsukihime's strength.

This made Yunxiu start to wonder what exactly the "book" was.

After all, judging solely from the books themselves, Yunxiu's two "Secret Records of Ten Thousand Laws" can be considered among the most powerful artifacts...

"Oh, right, here, take this. I probably won't need it." Tsukihime handed over a strange black ball of light: "He said it's part of a 'world fragment,' but I probably won't use it..."

"A fragment of the world? Thank you, I really can use it." Yunxiu took it, casually sealed it, and put it into her storage bag. She could have it absorbed by her weapon later, but right now she needed combat power, so she should find a less troublesome time...

The two quickly rushed out of the Lava Abyss, rested for half a day in Liyue Harbor, had a meal at Wanmin Hall, left a message for Ying, and then soared into the sky, flying all the way from Liyue to Haiqi Island in Inazuma.

Unlike the last time I visited, Umigi Island has now entered a completely new phase. Large quantities of building materials and various facilities are piling up on the island, thanks to the supplies and equipment provided by Ayaka Kamisato. Umigi Island is now undergoing a major construction project.

The effects of the Elemental Barrier and the Sealing Cave Mirror far exceeded most people's expectations, because even Yunxiu herself did not expect that this thing could be used to deal with polluted land, acting like a "plastic greenhouse." The people of Haiqi Island also surrounded large areas of land with the Sealing Cave Mirror.

Then, by continuously nurturing and enriching the land with the power of the grass element, Haiqi Island gradually began to become a place capable of producing large quantities of food.

Based on what Yunxiu had observed along the way, although the current Haiqi Island could certainly not compare to the fertile Liyue Mondstadt, and even fell short of Sumeru, it already had enough food to feed itself.

Meanwhile, the soldiers of Umijima Island have also greatly increased their strength. In addition to the flag of Umijima Island itself, they have also raised the distinctive personal flags of Kamisato Ayaka and Kamisato Ayato, indicating that the cooperation has entered a new stage.

Without disturbing the Coral Palace's inner sea, Yunxiu and Yueji went directly to the entrance of the Abyss Palace on Haiqi Island and flew down.

Upon entering, one discovers that the Abyss Palace is completely different. Just a few months ago, an earth-shattering battle broke out here. Lei Yingdian even killed six legendary peak-level monsters here, not to mention countless other monsters.

A large number of monster corpses are piled up here, and Inazuma's soldiers are constantly processing these monsters, taking all sorts of materials from their bodies.

A legendary monster can indeed be described as 'a treasure from head to toe', especially the larger ones. The bones from just one of them could be used to forge several legendary artifacts, provided that a legendary master craftsman personally crafts them.

However, Inazuma possesses the Mikage Furnace Core. Although it was transferred to Tsurukan and mainly used to provide energy for the war fortress, it is not a problem to use it to refine treasures during peacetime.

Yueji and Yunxiu didn't look at it too much, but flew straight to the Great Sun Imperial Carriage. Their minds were now completely focused on the "book" and the upcoming journey to the Primordial Fetal Sea. If they couldn't resolve this matter, then everyone would basically have to go to bed.

At least for Yunxiu, the death of Ergolia, the succession of Funina, and then the recurrence of the Sinners' Dance a few years later was naturally unacceptable.

They easily climbed up the Great Sun Imperial Carriage, and this time they naturally didn't need to face the phantom of Orobas. The two of them easily reached the very top of the Great Sun Imperial Carriage and met Abe Ryouji.

“Abe, I’ve brought the ‘Doll’ and the ‘Teardrop’ with me.” Yunxiu looked at the man’s illusory figure and said, “Now, please tell me the location of the ‘Book’.”

“It’s the scent of ‘Teardrops’… Yes, you’ve returned from ‘Eleusios’…” Abe’s voice trailed off, but he still recognized the scent of “Teardrops”.

"Elyusios"... that must be the legendary paradise in Greek mythology, which does fit the feeling that "teardrop" evokes...

"The 'Doll' ended up in Delphi, the 'Teardrop' in Eleusius, and the 'Gemstone' remains in Hyperion..." Abe sighed for a long time, and finally, as if forcing out all his strength, answered, "The 'Book' ended up in the deep palace of Fendnir..."

"As for where Fendnir is, I don't know..." After saying this last sentence, the phantom fell silent.

Fendnir... I do know it, it's on Dragon's Spine...

Hyperboria is likely the present-day Nordkal, the site of the legendary ancient city of gold in the far north.

The doll was in Delphi, also known as the Abyss Palace, so it's quite normal that it eventually ended up in Thor's hands.

"Where do we go now?" Tsukihime asked after staring at the motionless Abe for a long time. "This Fendnir, the name sounds familiar..."

“It’s Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain. It’s also a ‘lost ancient kingdom,’ the descendants of Hyperion.” Yunxiu smiled and said, “Let’s go there and rest with Abedo at Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain. Ask him to take us in.”

"it is good."
