I'm in the Teyvat running group

“My answer is… I don’t know either.” Abedo pondered, resting his chin on his hand. “Mother wasn’t actually someone who liked killing or destruction. Even the creations of the Black Tide were mostly created when she was corrupted by the Abyss and went mad.”

Looking at Yunxiu's expression, he added, "I'm not trying to excuse her; it's simply the objective fact at the time."

"Of course I believe what you say, but I really don't know the specifics of the water goddess Egolia right now."

Yunxiu explained to Abedo in detail the situation she had recently encountered, her exploration in Fontaine, and the problems she was currently facing.

From the disappearance of Ergolia, to the silence of the Eye of God itself, to the water element entering a strange state of activation, and the information I learned about the Governing of Life itself.

Aberdo also began to ponder, as this was a very worthwhile question for him to consider, because the relationship between the four ruling powers and the seven gods was actually very close, especially for Mondstadt.

Wendy readily admitted that she was "one of the many winds" and that a large part of her power came from the ruling power of time.

“I don’t know the specifics, but I can try to recreate the situation when my mother created the ‘Primordial Beings.’ Perhaps I can simulate her state of mind.” Abedo told Yunxiu his idea:

“A few days ago, I spent time in Sumeru with Ying exploring a fairy tale world in a book. There was a little dragon in it named Dulin, and I want to ‘refine’ him and bring him to the world of Teyvat.”

It seems that little Dulin should be born soon...

Do you need my help?

“Not now, I’m not ready yet, but I’ll contact you when I’m ready.” Abedo sighed. “I haven’t fully grasped the essence of bio-alchemy yet. I’ll contact you when I do.”

As if remembering something else, Abedo continued, "I am an 'artificial being.' When my mother was alive, she didn't take much care of me. Her mind often oscillated between collapse and reconstitution. Until one day, she led me to the 'Heart of Naberius,' and after I devoured it, I finally gained a long-lost peace. But soon she disappeared."

"It wasn't until the most recent information that I learned she had become the 'Reign of Life,' ranking alongside the other three Reigns."

Yunxiu fell silent; in truth, he himself didn't quite understand Abedo's mentality.

In his previous life, he was an orphan, but his life was actually not bad. In this life, although his father and sister are busy every day, they love him. Growing up with Xiangling has filled the void in his heart.

If there's one problem, it might be that his past memories continue to affect him, preventing him from fully opening himself up in this life. But regardless, he's doing quite well.

As a homunculus, Abeldo may very well have been created by Rhinedot as one of the results of alchemy from the very beginning, and there was no intention to give it any greater importance.

Just like the several Aberdos who once fought each other on the snowy mountain, whoever survives in the end will be the real Aberdo—at least that's likely the case for Rheindorf.

In other words, for Rheindorf, Aberdo's significance may only be truly recognized when he achieves complete success.

If we're talking about feelings, Rheindorf and Aberdo's relationship might not be as deep as Aberdo's with Klee, at least Klee genuinely calls Aberdo "brother".

It can only be said that Mondstadt is indeed a gentle and loving place, which managed to turn Abeddo around. Otherwise, an Abeddo who had turned to the dark side would have been far more dangerous than Abeddo in the original timeline...

“But no matter what, the people of Mondstadt are still very good. Even if you do manage to create a new ‘Durin’ in the future, I believe he can live well in Mondstadt.” Yunxiu thought for a moment and decided to respond in this way: “It’s just that I think we all know that under the current circumstances, how long we can live peacefully in Teyvat is still a question.”

Abedo glanced at Yunxiu quietly and said helplessly, "Yes, no one knows how long Teyvat can hold out, but we always have a way."

Yunxiu nodded. There was always a way. As far as he was concerned, Teyvat's future was uncertain. Although he was still unsure how to save it, at least escaping would be no problem.

At worst, I'll end up like that witch O, wandering the stars with my family and friends—that's the worst-case scenario.

Of course, I must do my best to solve the problem before the worst outcome arrives.

Suddenly, a ripple appeared on the surface of the water, and Tsukihime flew out from it. However, the entire pool condensed into a book and entered her body!

Tsukihime gently landed beside the two of them and said thoughtfully, "It seems there is only half of this book. According to the information left behind, the other half should be located in 'Hyperpolia,' in the same place as 'Treasure Mill'..."

"If we're talking about 'Hyperion,' then it seems we can't go there anytime soon; we'll have to wait for a specific abyss eruption." Yunxiu calculated for a moment, "It's impossible to do it in the short term; let's wait for a future opportunity."

Abedo seemed to shake off his sullen expression, smiled, and looked at the two of them, saying, "In that case, let's leave. I need to continue monitoring 'Dulin' and also prepare for its refining."

Yunxiu nodded, and the three of them left one after the other.

Abedo remained on the snow-capped mountain, while Yunxiu and Yueji flew all the way to Gestalt, attempting once again to enter the deepest void.

Princess Tsuki gathered the power of the three sacred treasures together, transforming it into a silvery-white stream of light that covered the seal of the primordial ocean at the bottom of Gestalt.

Although the seal was shaken and shaky, it managed to hold on after it was on the verge of collapse.

"Only half of the 'book' is available, so its power is somewhat insufficient..." Tsukihime scratched her head. "Now we can only wait for the full moon, when the moon's power is at its strongest."

The night of the full moon? That should be in three more days...

"It seems we can only wait in Fontaine for three days... There's really no time to rush things now." Yunxiu shook her head helplessly, left a few monitoring runes here, and then left with Yueji.

"I need to go back to Inazuma. There's too much stuff there. Since I can't enter for several days, I plan to go back now and have my mother and aunt take a look." Tsukihime waved her hand. "They should know quite a bit about this. Besides, my strength has increased a lot, so I need to get used to it."

“Then I’ll wait for you in Baisong Town.” Yunxiu smiled. “It’s not far from Gestalt, so even if there’s a problem, I can get there quickly.”

"See you in three days!" Tsukihime transformed into a streak of light and headed straight west—Teyvat is round, so going west would actually be closer.

Yunxiu flew all the way to Baisong Town and easily found Navia's residence. At the door, she saw the young lady lying on a recliner, wearing loose clothes and leisurely playing the game of the Spirit Realm.

It wasn't until Yunxiu walked right up to him that he realized what was happening. He hurriedly sat up and said, "Yun...Yunxiu? What brings you here? I heard from Arechino that you were going to find something to go to the Primordial Sea of ​​the Embryo."

"We can't get in right away; we'll have to wait two or three days." Yunxiu smiled. "Could you stay with Miss Navia for a few days? I'll pay for it."

"No need for money... Is Miss Sandoni's room alright? She's already left."

"Oh? She left with Arecino?"

"Yes... they also took a group of children, supposedly to send them to Liyue for training." Navia stood up, patting off imaginary dust to hide her embarrassment, then smiled sheepishly, "Recently, with so many major events happening, the Rose Guild has been very busy and rarely gets a break, but you always manage to find out..."

“It’s nothing serious. I’ve been so busy these past few days that I’m thinking of taking a break. After all, big things can’t be resolved in a short time.” Yunxiu shook her head. “If it weren’t for this unexpected event, I might have come to Fontainebleau for tourism or to visit a water park.”

"Huh? Has something serious happened somewhere? Could there really be some conspiracy behind the Water God's demise?" Navia exclaimed in surprise. "If there really is some conspiracy, doesn't that mean Fontaine will be even more dangerous from now on? Is the prophecy true?"

“The prophecy is probably true, but it has nothing to do with this matter.” Yunxiu pondered for a moment: “In fact, the most serious problem is the one hidden beneath the prophecy, so we can only clear our minds for now.”

“In that case, why don’t we go fishing together?” Navia said eagerly. “I just bought a brand new automatic fishing rod recently, and I haven’t tried it even once yet!”

“Okay, although I don’t know how to fish, I can learn…” Yunxiu smiled.

When Navia saw that Yunxiu had agreed, she quickly went to make preparations. Instead, Yunxiu took out a pair of sunglasses from her storage bag, put them on, and gently lay down on the recliner.

It has to be said that Navia's recliner is truly a treasure. Both its comfort and location are just right. Baisong Town is a town that is half above ground and half underground. Sunlight shines through the grass and openings in the ground of Baisong Town and falls right on this recliner, but it is blocked by a sunshade in front of the house. The part that shines through is warm and comfortable.

Moreover, you can enjoy the scenery in front of you and feel the gentle, refreshing sea breeze without any bitterness.

It has to be said that being born into a prominent family certainly brings advantages. This is probably one of the most fundamental reasons why Yunxiu didn't build a mansion for herself but instead stayed at various places.

For him, acquiring money and resources was not difficult, but the accumulated foundation he had built up over a long period of time was not easy to obtain.

In the comforting sea breeze, Yunxiu actually fell asleep.

Chapter 220 The Battle Between Dragons and Gods! (Third update on Tuesday!)

Yunxiu had a dream in which he rolled and spun on the grass, touching all sorts of small animals and looking at the strange colors of the sky.

Flocks of sheep and cows walked past him, a sight that was exceptionally comforting. For Yunxiu, these neat, soft, and fluffy creatures had always been his favorite, even more so than many of his anime/manga waifus…

Suddenly, a cat stretched out its paw and scratched his nose with its paw pads, making Yunxiu's nose itch, but he couldn't bear to chase the cat away.

"Achoo!" Yunxiu woke up groggily from the deck chair, only to find herself at sea, with Navia next to her, who was smiling and teasing her nose with a feather.

"How...did I get here?" Yunxiu was still in a daze.

“Seeing you were asleep, I got a few people to carry you onto the boat, and we’re almost there now,” Navia said with a smile. “Miss Sandone told me that this is the way you prefer to be woken up…”

"Then I'm glad Sandoni didn't tell you that splashing me with water is the best way to wake me up..." Yunxiu muttered under his breath, then jumped up in a flash, casually casting a spell to change into a clean and neat set of clothes. Now fully awake, he looked quite contentedly at the beautiful sea around him and couldn't help but sigh:

"If we really have to say where the most beautiful sea in Teyvat is, there really isn't another choice besides Fontaine."

“Yes, but I’ve heard that Nata’s place is also very good. It’s a pity I haven’t had time to go there yet.” Navia handed over a fishing rod and a small bucket of bait to Yunxiu, saying, “This is bait that I just made myself. It’s said to be the best thing for these fish.”

"I've heard that there's a robotic fish in Fontainebleau..."

“Oh, you mean those robotic fish? They used to exist, but the Water God banned them.” Navia nodded. “Now, some of the fish in Fontainebleau were originally there, while others were imported from other places. It’s said that in some areas, there are even fish that can only be born from Mount Nata.”

Yunxiu took the fishing rod, skillfully baited the hook, and with a flick of her wrist, cast the rod out.

As for how to fish...

Yunxiu, being a lazybones, naturally didn't bother fishing himself. With a flick of his finger, a large hand gleaming with a ghostly light flew out from beside him, grabbed the fishing rod, and began to fish seriously.

Then he lay back on the deck chair, put on his sunglasses, and enjoyed this rare moment of peace. Fontainebleau, though called a sea, is actually a large lake with almost no waves. The calm surface and warm sunshine made it truly a delightful place.

"This spell... isn't it a bit unfair?" Navia took a closer look at the fishing rod and discovered that this ghostly hand was actually a fishing expert, quickly catching its first fish. Then, the ghostly hand split slightly, creating three hands. One hand was still holding the fishing rod, while another began to process the bait and float...

"If you'd like, of course you can." Yunxiu lazily snapped her fingers again, and several more ghostly hands appeared, taking the fishing rod from Navia's hand and skillfully beginning the fishing process: "This is the real 'automatic fishing rod'..."

“Arecino was right, you are one of the most powerful mages in Teyvat right now.” Navia walked up expectantly, looking at Yunxiu’s half-dead state, and said with a hint of challenge, “If I wanted a surprise right now, what kind of magic could you do?”

"A surprise... I don't know either, but you can make any request, and I'll do it." Yunxiu smiled, "Consider it a return gift for this fishing trip."

“Requirements…” Navia pondered.

Yunxiu herself wasn't really sure what Navia wanted. As the young lady of the Thorn Rose Society, she wasn't short of money. Although in the original timeline this young lady seemed to be short of money, she was actually short of a lot of money because she had to support the Thorn Rose Society.

However, in this timeline, the Rose Society was already far more successful than in the previous life. While Yunxiu was promoting various mechanisms and products, Navia's Rose Society took on a lot of work and was now far from short of money.

As for status, beautiful clothes, and food, those are even more indispensable.

If I really had to name a request, Navia's only request would probably be...

“If possible, I hope you can fix this. Can you do that?” Navia handed over a music box and said earnestly, “This was left to me by my father, but it’s broken. I’ve asked many people to fix it, but none of them can.”

Yunxiu took the music box, did a quick inspection, and was surprised to find that it was a peculiar product with ancient dragon technology!

"Where did your father get this thing?" Yunxiu asked in surprise.

“Well…” Navia thought for a moment and told Yunxiu about the origin of the music box.

This was something Carles bought at an antique auction. He discovered that it could produce a peculiar melody and had a great calming effect on people's spirits, so he gave it to his daughter, Navia.

After careful examination, Yunxiu discovered that this item was essentially a product of the dragon race used to appease the raging dragon descendants, and it also had the effect of enhancing the wisdom of the dragon race, making it a rather powerful treasure.

However... in reality, the entire system relies on phlogiston and the internal crystals. In fact, the crystals have been shattered, and the energy pipelines are almost damaged, so the phlogiston cannot be activated.

Such a thing would naturally be difficult for the Teyvats to repair, because most people cannot create such an energy core, even powerful engineers like Aino and Shinonin are not quite capable of it.

Ochikan might be able to, but Ochikan is dead.

Seeing Navia's expectant eyes, Yunxiu chuckled. What might be troublesome for others was simply a matter of resources for him.

Several streaks of light flew out from Yunxiu's storage bag and transformed into a strange stream of light in Yunxiu's hand. The light of the wishing spell burst forth and directly enveloped the music box. In less than a few dozen seconds, the cracks and shattered light on the music box were completely contained.

ding ding ding-

A series of sounds emerged from the music box, and under the effect of the wishing spell, he had been completely restored to his original form!
