I'm in the Teyvat running group

Moreover, it was from this moment on that his strength surpassed that of Ying, who was currently under lockdown, which was quite an achievement.

After creating the world with Narcida for half a month, Funinna finally had some free time, and the work of the Grand Consul and the Grand Judge was finally on track, allowing the water goddess to relax.

According to Funina, she would serve as the water goddess for several years, and then step down after the Grand Consul's governance and the change of leadership had been effective. However, now that Navelette is very capable and Cares is doing a good job as the Grand Consul, she is much more relaxed.

So, after taking a short leave, Funina and Yunxiu prepared to go to the Abyss Palace. One reason was to find Serania, and the other was that Yunxiu planned to activate the nine coins in that space.

They called on Shin-haku, and the three of them traveled from Fontaine to Inazuma, then passed through Umijima Island and arrived near Asarai Shrine. They found the same group of people again and entered the underground world through a hole in the large ship of Seirai-maru. Guided by Fuchishita-no-Miyato, the three of them returned to the shrine.

Fu Ningna had been here once before, so she was quite familiar with the place. Shen He, on the other hand, was very curious as he touched the various marine creatures and the strange traces left by previous visitors.

Ever since Yunxiu completely erased the Lone Star Calamity, this girl's personality has become extremely curious about the world. She seems to have an endless curiosity and wants to try everything she sees. Of course, Yunxiu understands this completely. Under the suppression of the Lone Star Calamity, she has never truly experienced the world properly.

What reason would Yunxiu have to stop her?

Serania, however, remained listlessly seated at the shrine entrance, leaning against the statue and quietly reading a peculiar book.

Yunxiu glanced at it briefly and discovered that it was actually a work from the ground, and even had some connection to her, because it was a book called "The Emperor's Journey in the Mortal World," which described the various things the Emperor did as a mortal.

If I remember correctly, the first page of this book is—With the help of Yunxiu, the son of the god Emperor, the Rock King Emperor began his retirement life…

Upon seeing the three arrive, Serania asked in surprise, "You... did you bring 'umbilical cord blood'?"

“You’re very clever. Yes, the crisis in Fontaine is over.” Yunxiu said with a smile, “We found what you were talking about in the ripples of the Primordial Sea of ​​Conception.”

Surprisingly, Serania wasn't particularly surprised, as if she had expected them to be able to do these things. She put away her book, lightly patted off imaginary dust from her clothes, and smiled at the three of them, saying, "Shall we begin the ritual now?"

“I actually have a question I want to ask you…” Yunxiu asked hesitantly, “Although this question may sound a bit impolite, I still really want to know.”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t tell the truth about some things last time. I am indeed not the current Sea God Inspector, but I don’t think that’s what you’re most interested in.” Serania seemed to have anticipated his question and instead spoke frankly: “I think you want to know who my parents are?”

"Hmm...how did you guess?"

“Because I’ve read through all the books in the White Night Kingdom’s collection. Even in that era, I existed.” Serania laughed. “That’s right, it’s the answer you’re looking for. I’m the ‘Dragon’s Child,’ born around the time of the War of Burial Fire. As for who my parents are…”

She looked at Yunxiu carefully and said, "Father, isn't it you? Otherwise, why would I have brought you to this forbidden place when we first met at Yuanxia Palace? This is a territory that no outsider has ever set foot in."

"Then your mother is... no, even if my dragon bloodline is from the second time I transmigrated, how did I get it?" Yunxiu asked doubtfully. "Moreover, I think even for me, if I wanted to completely control the dragons at that time and carry out the War of Burial Fire, it would actually be an almost impossible thing to do. The dragons themselves had very serious internal struggles."

“If you ask me for the answer, I don’t know either.” Serania shrugged. “The only thing I’m sure of is that you are my father; it’s a memory etched in my blood.”

"That……"

“I was born in that era, so this is all I know. However, my mother shouldn't be a dragon. Although she has horns, I can sense the power in her bloodline; it's not dragon-like.” After careful consideration, Serania gave an uncertain answer: “But I strongly suspect she's still alive in this world…”

Still alive!?

There are very few old monsters who can live for six or seven thousand years and survive the War of Burial Fire to the present day!

Teyvats don't have long lifespans to begin with; they're not immortal. For most of them, living for even a thousand years is an extraordinary achievement, let alone six thousand. Living for six thousand years is definitely not something an ordinary person could do.

"How do you know she's still alive? Do you know where she is?" Yunxiu pressed. "If we know where she is, perhaps we can find her..."

“Since she has been hiding it all along, she must have her reasons.” Serania shook her head, but she quickly added, “However, I only sense that she is still alive. As for whether she is still in this world, that’s another matter.”

He sent his wife directly to another universe... That really suits my personality.

Yunxiu scratched his head in exasperation. He guessed that Long Yunxiu was someone who had descended into the body of a dragon in a certain timeline and held a high position in the dragon race. He was even one of the ancient dragons who participated in and even led the War of Burial Fire.

But it was precisely because of this peculiar identity that he left behind very little information. I searched for a long time and only found a few fragments.

As for why Serania could sense the bloodline, it's because the bloodline of the Descendants is the noblest. In Serania's bloodline perception, the bloodline of the Descendants suppressed the bloodline of the Dragons.

In other words, even if she and Xiangling had a child now, if it were a girl, Serania would be able to sense her bloodline. The bloodline of the Descendants is largely rooted in their souls, while the physical body is secondary.

Moreover, even without considering the soul, one's status is unique. Even if one changes bodies, one's status remains at the level of a Descendant, but one may not possess many magical abilities.

But just as Yunxiu said, sending his wife and children away at the last minute is really Yunxiu's style...

"So, the sealing formation here was also set up by 'me'?" Yunxiu scratched his head. "If that's the case, he should have left you something to give to me..."

“Unfortunately, no.” Serania shook her head. “Father didn’t seem to expect his sudden failure. In fact, he was initially confident of success. Judging from the information he sent back, the dragons had actually reached the final step of victory, but for some reason, they still failed in the end.”

"All the dragons were overjoyed, believing that this dragon prince with the rank of Descendant would lead the dragon race to new heights. However, they ultimately lost the battle, and 'that one' quickly launched a full-scale counterattack. Only a few hidden individuals survived."

“And at the last moment, after my father’s bloodline connection disappeared, it briefly reappeared, and my mother also disappeared.” Serania said sadly, “This great formation was set up a long time ago. Although its initial purpose was not for me, he arranged for me to be here before he left.”

Ok……

Yunxiu fell into deep thought.

According to this account, Long Yunxiu was actually very close to succeeding.

In his previous conversation with Da Yunxiu, Da Yunxiu also mentioned this point. He had actually almost succeeded. Although he had defeated Fanes and even become the new Heavenly Principle, it was not a true victory.

In fact, during their later conversation, Yunxiu saw several shadows around him, one of which was Long Yunxiu.

The dragon race's technology is extremely advanced, and Yunxiu is very confident in himself. If he were transported back thousands of years and became a dragon prince, with his abilities and level of magical development, he might even have been able to create an even more powerful system than the one they have now...

Oh, right... phlogiston!

Yunxiu suddenly thought of phlogiston, a thing that could store information and various products, and even directly impart knowledge. Wasn't this thing similar to her own past ideas?

However, to be on the safe side, he ultimately chose magic education and the development of a new system, embarking on a completely different path.

The reason for Long Yunxiu's current failure seems to be that he did not take into account the contingency plan of Heaven's Law, and he was somewhat reckless in advancing the Dragon Clan itself. His assessment of the war itself was not comprehensive enough.

The reason for Da Yunxiu's failure is unclear to him, but it should be that he did not realize the problems of the Teyvat world itself and oversimplified the extremely complex situation of the world. Although he forcibly won the war against the laws of nature by relying on his powerful strength, he also completely trapped himself on that throne.

In the few times I saw his image, he was always on the throne, lamenting in pain, constantly pondering the meaning of war, and even wanting to start over, even if it meant destruction on the path of exploration.

At first, Yunxiu thought he was only acting out of longing for love and guilt towards Xiangling, but now it seems that the situation is completely different...

Chapter 246 The Emperor Seven Thousand Years Ago (Second Update on Thursday!)

For Yunxiu, one thing he can be certain of now is that these occurrences are likely his own trial and error.

Just as Da Yunxiu had said before, the information he obtained did not actually include the existence of the Absolute Zone Zero, meaning that the time travel was very early, even when Sumeru had just emerged, and he did not have any information about Fengdan.

If we take all of this into account, then the missing information about Da Yunxiu is likely related to the Battle of Haiboboria and the Battle of Burial Fire. Therefore, the arrival of Long Yunxiu was likely an attempt to fill in the gaps in the information about the Battle of Burial Fire. However, the Battle of Burial Fire was almost won under Long Yunxiu's leadership, but it was overturned at the last moment.

Neither of them had the information here, but they pointed themselves to a time seven thousand years ago, before the War of Burial Fire even began...

Wait... a carving knife?

Could it be...?

“If that’s the case, let’s first offer the ‘umbilical cord blood’ and see if we can try to wait for the ‘Goddess of the White Night’ to descend.” Yunxiu said after careful consideration, “Actually, although I am that Yunxiu, I am different from that Yunxiu. If I’m not mistaken, I am from a different timeline.”

“You don’t need to worry about it so much. At least I can’t possibly disturb your life.” Serania smiled gently. “As soon as I step out of the area under our control, the Constituents of Justice will immediately take notice. As long as I don’t show up, this region doesn’t exist in Teyvat.”

Yunxiu nodded, glancing at Funina: "Let's take out the 'umbilical cord blood' and try the ritual."

"Ah... okay." Fu Ningna, who was watching the show, was clearly still in a daze. She was getting a headache from being bombarded with so much information, but she quickly took out a small bottle of "umbilical cord blood" from her storage bag and handed it to Yunxiu.

Just like the umbilical cord blood that Funina brought out from the primordial womb, this bottle of umbilical cord blood was filled with a peculiar aura. The entire bottle was completely different, deep purple with a strange hue, and there were even faint traces of the starry sky within it.

Yunxiu touched the bottle, glanced at it, and sighed deeply.

If this thing were placed in a mysterious world, it would at least be material for advancing to a demigod...

After carefully inspecting the bottle while complaining, he handed it to Serania.

Serania took the bottle as if it were a treasure, examined it carefully, and then said, "That's right, let's go prepare for the sacrificial ceremony."

She glanced almost imperceptibly at the statue in the center of the hall before leading the group to the same hall they had visited before.

She took out three coral branches of completely different colors and placed them on the altar. Serania glanced quietly at the statue of the three moons, then opened the bottle of "umbilical blood" and placed it in the center.

She clasped her hands together and chanted a string of words that Yunxiu could hardly understand. Although she was exceptionally intelligent, Yunxiu could only barely grasp the general meaning, because it was a peculiar language that seemed to have been left behind by the dragon race, the Golden Kingdom, or even earlier humans.

The general meaning is that they have found the umbilical cord blood and infused moonlight into the coral branches, hoping for guidance from the goddess of the night, Serene...

But as Serania continued to chant, the small vial of umbilical cord blood began to float out on its own, coating the three coral branches with a strange color. The three coral branches flew up and formed a triangle, as if opening up a new space.

On the other side of the space was a mass of silvery white, but soon, nine silvery white coins fell out, and then three coral branches fell back to their original positions.

“Coins…” Yunxiu immediately took out the nine coins from her storage bag.

When the black coin and the silver coin meet, they instantly burst forth with a powerful light!

The collision and fusion of the coins brought a terrifying aura, and at the same time, it also caused spatial fluctuations, as if a huge rift was about to be opened.

Nine coins linked together create a huge image!

The scene depicts a massive city where countless humans and dragons coexist. Their technology has advanced to an extremely high level; at least, Yunxiu can see that they have even developed single-person anti-gravity hovercraft!

Behind the city stood a colossal statue, and around it stood a tall figure, whom Yunxiu recognized at a glance—it was someone she had seen before.

That's Dvalin!

However, it's probably not this generation's Dvalin. It looks much more ferocious, and it doesn't have any real wind aura on it.

"The first Wind Dragon King..." Yunxiu thought for a moment before saying uncertainly, "Then should the current Dvalin be the second or third generation Dragon King..."

In the sky, March could be seen hanging high, and figures descended from the sky, with long golden hair and wings displayed on their backs—these were angels.

“This is the era of Hyperion, which should be about seven thousand years ago,” Serania nodded. “The leading ‘angel’ was named Nabu Marikata, and even in that era, she was one of the top archangels.”

“Nabu Marikata, isn’t that the Flower Goddess?” Funina exclaimed in surprise. “I thought only Fontaine had an 'angel'…”

“If I’m not mistaken, there’s a high probability that every country has an archangel, and I should at least know who the one in Liyue is…” Yunxiu patted Fryna’s head. This water goddess’s head was indeed exceptionally soft to touch, her hair was as smooth as silk, and had a completely different feel.

Seeing Yunxiu patting Funina's head, Shen He tugged at Yunxiu's sleeve and offered his own head in as well.

"Okay, okay..." Yunxiu chuckled and touched Shenhe's head, which was now covered in black hair. Ever since she got rid of the Lonely Star Calamity, she had really liked her "new look". At least Yunxiu had never seen her change back.

“Those are… my mother and father…” Serania pointed to the screen and said, “They’ve come out.”

Yunxiu looked closely and saw that it was indeed a powerful being who had also descended from the sky. The man leading the group, who had dragon horns, looked exactly like her!

The woman following behind him, though she had horns and no wings, had eyes that Yunxiu noticed were different from Nicolein's, but had an almost identical aura!

“Your mother seems to be an angel as well… Have you seen any other angels?” Yunxiu suddenly asked. “If you have seen other angels, then you should be able to notice something is wrong.”

“I… in these thousands of years, I’ve only appeared a few times when the laws of nature have determined that I cannot escape,” Serania said bitterly. “I’ve also rarely seen humans from the outside world.”

“This is what angels look like.” Yunxiu stretched out her hand, mimicking the images of Nikolai and the White Horse Immortal. Although they did not possess great power, one could still discern many suspicious aspects of the enemy just by looking at their appearance.

“If that’s the case, then my mother must indeed be an ‘archangel.’ I’ve seen several such beings around her.” Serania nodded before adding, “If I remember correctly, there should be seven such beings. I wonder how many of them are still alive.”

"Them? Angels are all female?" Yunxiu exclaimed in surprise, "The angel race is truly amazing..."

“It’s not that simple. Because the ‘first angel’ fell in love with a descendant, who was a boy, all the angels became female.” Serania pondered for a moment and said, “Strictly speaking, beings at this level can actually decide their own gender at will.”

Come to think of it, I seem to have an identity that's also related to the Third Advent...
