I'm in the Teyvat running group

Instantly, the space around the mechanism seemed to be rapidly impacted. The Treasure-Stealing Weasel kept leaping within it, but it could never escape the barrier. The others waited quietly by the side until, half a day later, when Fox Palace stopped the time acceleration, the Treasure-Stealing Weasel finally emerged from it.

It was obvious that he looked much "smarter" than before. Yunxiu gently tapped him and instantly awakened his intelligence using the [Enlightenment and Awakening] technique.

A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the treasure-hunting weasel, but soon, he actually began to speak: "Everyone... what's wrong with me?"

"It works..." Yunxiu made a check. The Fox Palace had just accelerated for four hours, which is 40,000 hours, or a full 1600 days. Yunxiu's assessment showed that the Treasure-Stealing Weasel had indeed increased its attributes by eight points.

With three points in constitution, two points in perception, one point in intelligence, and two points in strength, it's not perfectly balanced, but it's definitely much stronger than before, and can definitely be considered a level three magical beast.

"You are free to live here, but please come back here every now and then," Yunxiu said. "Go ahead, I believe you can find this place."

The treasure-stealing weasel silently circled the spot once, then dug a hole and disappeared. However, Yunxiu didn't expect that this treasure-stealing weasel would play a completely different role in the later part of the story...

"Have you done the cost accounting?" Yunxiu asked Abedo. "How much alchemical potion was consumed during this acceleration period?"

"It's about forty liters, and the cost is a little over 300 Mora, which is very cheap," Abedo laughed. "However, the manufacturing cost is still very high; the cost of manufacturing the mechanism is around 60 Mora."

“But the coverage area is 100 meters, and only a few dozen mechanisms are needed to cover the entire school.” Xianyun nodded: “If we calculate that each school costs 50 million Mora, and there are more than 10,000 schools in Liyue, it is entirely feasible to build them in one or two years.”

"Then... let's leave it to Yanfei to handle." Yunxiu said with a headache, "We've been developing for so long, let's take a few days off first."

The group nodded and went to rest. Even if they really wanted to push things further, they would wait until tomorrow...

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

Over the next few days, Yunxiu dealt with these matters and lived a very casual life.

Fishing is still a must, but after Ayaka Kamisato and Yoomiya arrived, it became a regular occurrence for everyone to go fishing together. Even Tsukihime couldn't resist her interest and came over, although a fishing competition was not actually started.

Only occasionally at night would there be a private competition, which allowed people to relax quite a bit.

On the fourth day, Yan Fei finally arrived in Fontaine and led a team to handle these matters. As is usually the case, Yan Fei, who took 10% of the shares, can be considered a small boss.

However, the bulk of the magical artifact still went to Navia, not just because of Yunxiu's promise, but because many of the runes and crafting ideas for the artifact did indeed come from the music box in Navia's possession, and the Sweet Flower was indeed the improved version that Fontaine was best suited to grow.

With the support of the Rose Society, a large area of ​​land on Mount Mansos was leased, and many people were hired to cultivate this sweet flower.

However, this flower grows very quickly, taking only two or three days to mature. Its enormous crown can yield dozens of liters of nectar, which is quickly packed and shipped to Liyue, where the artisans will assemble the magical artifacts.

After completing his work, Master René and his wife embarked on a new round of development. His wife was also an outstanding mathematician, and their collaboration was so strong that it even gave Yunxiu a rather magical feeling.

In this atmosphere, just before the appointed time with Funina, Yunxiu was greeted by a peculiar guest.

"Your Majesty... why are you here..." Yunxiu said in surprise, "And the person behind you is... Ruotuo?"

Chapter 227 Resurrecting the Ancient Demon God! (First update on Friday!)

Yunxiu was unsure mainly because Ruotuo was just too handsome.

If you were to rate the top ten most handsome people Yunxiu has ever met, Yunxiu himself wouldn't even make the list. This is mainly because while his appearance isn't exactly ordinary, it's certainly only averagely handsome.

Being too handsome can affect the sense of immersion.

But Ruo Tuo's human form was indeed more handsome than almost everyone Yun Xiu had ever seen, and it was a rather masculine kind of handsome.

"I even gave you a dragon scale, and now you don't even recognize me?" Ruo Tuo laughed. "If that's the case, I really have to wonder why the Emperor would take a liking to you."

"Hmm... I was mainly surprised. It's rare to see the two of you together. Is something important?" Yunxiu asked curiously, "Can you tell me?"

Ruo Tuo looked at Zhong Li seriously for a moment, and when Zhong Li nodded, he said, "The Emperor and I have been traveling around recently. Some time ago, we went to Fontaine. At the invitation of the Wind God, the Emperor went to Nordkalai... After finishing his business, he came back and continued his travels."

"Nodekalai...that energy, even more powerful than the Ice God, is it you, Your Majesty?" Yunxiu wasn't surprised that the Emperor was even more powerful than the Ice God—that was basic for a Rock God—but he was actually surprised that the Emperor was actually in Nodekalai...

“There’s something important. Barbatos invited me.” Zhongli smiled at Navia, who was serving him a cup of coffee, before continuing, “We surrounded and killed one of the ‘Five Great Sinners,’ managed to obtain his world-class status, and successfully shattered the power of two ‘God Thrones.’”

"Ambush, the five great sinners, Nordkalai?" Yunxiu suddenly seemed to realize something: "You ambushed and killed the 'Moon Hunters'!"

Zhongli nodded and didn't say anything more.

"The Emperor controlled the battlefield, the Ice Queen imprisoned him, the Wind God collected the fragments of the Moon Hunters, and finally, the God of War killed him." Ruo Tuo counted on his fingers, calculating for a moment, and said:

"In the end, the Emperor and the Ice Queen shared this power, so I can now be considered a 'Complete Dragon,' having mastered the power of the Geo element."

These four gods actually took the lead in doing such a big thing. Only the Thunder God and the Grass God did not participate. However, Yunxiu could roughly guess why the two of them did not participate. The Thunder God needed to suppress the Dark Outer Sea and the Abyss Palace. At this time, he would definitely seek stability.

As for the Grass Goddess, she most likely participated, because Yunxiu just searched the current information on the Spirit Realm Terminal and found that all the information on the "Five Great Sinners" of Teyvat has been changed to "Four Great Sinners". The Grass Goddess's participation was quite mysterious; she erased Rayleigh's existence from the records of the World Tree, which is the ley lines.

The moment his avatar was devoured, Raelil vanished completely from this world.

The moment Columbia killed the Moon Hunter, she sensed a powerful fluctuation of lunar distance force, which directly dragged everyone around her into her sea of ​​consciousness to watch history or original historical footage.

Yunxiu's eyelids twitched involuntarily. Even considering only their strength, these guys could be described as incredibly audacious. The biggest problem with besieging the Moon Hunters was that they couldn't let the Moon Hunters be too weak or have too few fragments, otherwise their positions would be incomplete.

However, it can't be too strong, otherwise a complete being comparable to a world-level being would be too difficult to kill.

To be honest, these actions really made Yunxiu's scalp tingle. Although she had thought about hunting one, she had never found a suitable way since she came to this world.

Or perhaps it's more accurate to say that Wendy's actions this time were emboldened by the aftermath of his previous reckless killing of the Doctor...

Based on Yunxiu's own personal experience, hunting can be addictive if you do it too much. It's just a matter of not knowing which one Wendy will target next, since Raleigh is the easiest of the Five Deadly Sins to kill.

The whereabouts of the "Sage" and the "Prophet" are unknown, and the only clue that is "Extreme Knight" is likely to be outmatched. As for "Gold" Rhinedoth, he has already become part of the Teyvat Order.

Apart from Rael, there really isn't anyone else who is both of high status and has a high social standing.

After chatting with the Dragon King Ruotu for a while, Yunxiu finally learned the whole story.

Agoria's death was a long process. In fact, she had already begun to make arrangements for her own affairs when she went to Liyue to find the Emperor last time. However, because Fynne was deliberately lured away, and Agoria clearly encountered something before her death, this long-planned slow suicide became a sudden event.

But regardless, the incident still happened in the end.

The transformation of Ergolia into the sea of ​​fetuses was irreversible, and it was already quite remarkable that she was able to leave behind a hope of resurrection.

As if sensing something, Wendy made a ruthless move when Agoria perished, joining forces with several other gods to hunt down Rayleigh. If Yunxiu were to comment on this action, there are only three words to describe it.

Steady, accurate, and ruthless!

They quickly identified the most suitable opponent and then chose the best time, when the god perished, most eyes would be focused on Fontaine.

As for ruthlessness, he was ruthless, needless to say. In order to completely annihilate the Moon Hunters, he was even willing to give up his position and join forces with the other five gods to set up this killing scheme. He truly deserves to be the most scheming person among the seven gods!

Speaking of this, there's another interesting thing: the Emperor. Although the Emperor was quite skilled in strategy and intelligence, during the Demon God War, it wasn't the Emperor who focused on "intelligence," but Gui Zhong.

In the era when Gui Zhong still existed, the combination of Gui Zhong, the Emperor, and Maxius could be described as a complex alliance. On one hand, they allied with the demons of Shenyu Valley, and on the other hand, they even reached a tacit understanding with Inazuma and Mondstadt. However, after Gui Zhong died in battle and Maxius also returned to the earth.

The Emperor truly had no choice but to kill. He transformed into a God of War and slaughtered all his opponents, to the point that even the Demon Gods preferred to flee Liyue rather than continue vying for the position.

In other words, the emperor is actually fulfilling the role of military force...

Final End: What to Do?

Zhongli: Only killing

That was the situation most of the time.

Zhongli is essentially a pure killing god, especially after Gui Zhong's death in battle, his bloodlust is truly surging.

"What do you need me to do next?" Yunxiu asked. "And... is there anything I need to prepare?"

"There is something we need you to handle." Ruoduo handed over a notebook and said, "As far as I know, you have recently developed something very important, so we would like to ask about your thinking, how to research such a thing, and whether it can be made."

Yunxiu took the notebook and flipped through it, discovering it contained a different kind of tool. It seemed to be able to extract something different from the earth's veins, and it also had deep, sharp spikes that seemed to be able to pierce into something.

Looking through the notebook, I discovered that it has two main functions: first, to search for and extract memories and information from the ley lines; and second, to solidify and then aggregate all the information to awaken the existence of the 'soul'.

This thing seems to be something used for summoning spirits...

There are indeed similar spells in necromancy, but Teyvats playing like this actually defies the rule of the dead. Of course, strictly speaking, Yunxiu has recently resurrected quite a few people...

However, Yunxiu's resurrection is essentially based on two points. First, her soul did not enter the ley lines. Because it did not enter the ley lines, it is not actually considered 'death'. At most, it can only be considered as losing her physical body. This is troublesome for Teyvat, but it is naturally nothing for Yunxiu.

Secondly, their souls were intact and had undergone some repair. Whether it was the resurrection of Clementine or René's family, their souls were 'well-preserved'. René even built a virtual 'resting place' to ensure their existence.

In an ordinary world, there wouldn't be any problems, because most worlds don't have as many twisted laws as Teyvat. Although there are 'gods of death' in many places, if you live long enough, you won't encounter such things, and naturally there won't be any curses or wear and tear.

This is the fundamental reason why Yunxiu kept saying that necromancers in Teyvat faced great difficulties. The essential world law of Teyvat does not allow the use of normal necromancy laws and spells. Practicing necromancy here will either yield little result or result in being quickly killed by the Reign of Death.

If you want a soul here, you can only draw it from the ley lines, or you can protect your soul yourself and prevent it from ending up somewhere.

Drawing directly from the ley lines would be a huge problem. A true resurrection of the dead would be dancing on the head of the ruler of death, Ronava—though not quite to the point of defecating, since she has cast the curse of immortality before.

“If it’s possible, it should be possible. I should be able to come up with a preliminary plan within a few days.” Yunxiu thought for a moment and said, “But even if this thing is made, it can only have a few words with the souls that have entered the earth veins at most. In reality, it’s very difficult to revive them.”

“Normally it won’t work, but there will always be ‘weak points’.” Zhong Li finished his coffee, which was unusual for him, and then ordered a cup of Baisong Town’s specialty black tea before speaking. “For example, the upcoming Night Watchers War in Nata is a crucial juncture. The best opportunity will be when we use the Holy Flame for ‘infinite resurrection’.”

“Then someone needs to maintain the kingdom of the Night God first, so that Nata can win the war at a relatively low cost…” Yunxiu thought for a moment: “If we are to use this to resurrect a person of the Familia level, it would require offsetting the deaths of about three or four thousand people.”

“You don’t need to worry about that, everything is ready,” Ruoduo added. “Each country will send at least thirty powerful members of the Familia level to help Nata win this Night Watcher War. Although it’s unlikely to be a zero-casualty war, we can reduce it to a very low level.”

“Thirty.” Yunxiu exclaimed in surprise, “If the Night Watchers’ war is swept away by a few dozen powerful members at the level of their subordinates, it’s very likely that zero casualties can be achieved. Who would you revive with such a huge amount of energy?”

King Ruo Tuo and Zhong Li exchanged a glance, and after a few more glances, the Emperor finally spoke: "The Demon God of Dust, Hargentus, is also..."

"Return to the end!"

Chapter 228 Breaking the Taboo of Life (Second Update on Friday!)

Return to the end!

It really is her!

There's a saying in Teyvat that "Demonic Gods are immortal." This doesn't mean that Demonic Gods actually don't die, but rather that their essence is inherited or enters the ley lines.

This is indeed immortal, but it is unlikely to return. This is the situation with Gui Zhong, especially at the most critical moment, when Zhong Li personally destroyed Gui Zhong's last hope of resurrection, which was Gui Zhong's remains.

The pain was so intense that even for the Emperor, it was devastating. Even if there was no romantic love between them, there was a deep bond of camaraderie and camaraderie. In addition, Gui Zhong was almost the only deity in the camp who could be on par with him in terms of ability, which made the relationship even more extraordinary.

Moreover, Gui Zhong has another very strong point, which is her powerful creative and inventive ability!

The fact that the Return Machine remains one of the most powerful weapons of war after all this time is a testament to this. Although it has undergone some improvements, the Return Machine's inherent capabilities are beyond question.

“This is indeed a very challenging problem.” Yunxiu nodded with a smile. “However, I completely understand Your Majesty’s thoughts. I will try my best to work with Xianyun to develop this.”

Zhongli nodded and said, "Then, I will be traveling around Fontainebleau for the next period of time."

"Should I have Navia send some people to follow you?" Yunxiu couldn't help but ask. "Also, Your Majesty, your bills have decreased quite a bit recently. Although I certainly wouldn't mind paying for you, it seems you've found a part-time job recently?"

“I recently contributed articles to Liyue’s newspaper and unexpectedly received a royalty payment.” Zhongli nodded and said, “It was quite unexpected; it’s more than my and Ruotuo’s combined pensions.”

Well, even the Dragon King Ratna has a retirement pension...

Upon further inquiry, it was discovered that the Dragon King Ruoduo's retirement pension was actually higher than that of the Emperor, amounting to 180,000 Mora per month. Further questioning revealed that although the two retired at the same level, the hunchbacked man received a "war trauma" allowance.

Because of this subsidy, Brother Hunchback's retirement pension is now 15 times higher than Emperor's, although it's unclear why he was given this.
