I'm in the Teyvat running group

Third, close the door. This is the simplest thing to do, as long as you have the first two things.

However, despite Yunxiu and several deities having made so many preparations, even resurrecting Bai Chen as a test, they still failed.

Was it because of the obstruction of the four ruling powers? Impossible. Wendy's involvement shows that the ruling powers of time are very aware of the situation. The fact that this matter was chosen to take place in Nata shows that the ruling powers of death are also very aware of it. So, that leaves Rhinedoth, the ruling power of life.

But to be honest, if she could take action herself, Yunxiu suspects she would even dare to personally revive Guizhong...

With the three ruling powers united, the only obstacle might be the rule of the sky, but Yunxiu believes that the seven gods have a way to overcome it.

It's incredibly unbelievable that such an endeavor, supported by the Four Great Rulers and the Seven Gods, failed to succeed, given that they didn't stop it.

Based on what Yunxiu discovered earlier, we can almost certainly conclude that Guizhong's death is part of a massive conspiracy, and it is very likely related to Liyue's own situation!

Just as we said before, Liyue has the potential to end the Demon God War in a short time!

If the two ruling-level figures, Camel Dragon King and Zhongli, along with the four demon gods, Guizhong, Chenyu Valley Demon God, Maxius, and Sea God Palace, were also on their side, the six demon gods working together could definitely quickly flatten everything.

However, in the end, everything perished. The one in Shenyu Valley went mad, the demon god of the Sea God Palace disappeared, Marcius sacrificed himself, and Ruotuo Dragon King was also taken away by the will of the abyss, leaving only the Emperor. This is definitely not that simple.

The reason why everything began with the final destruction is likely because the final destruction truly possessed many secrets and the truth that would end everything!

Therefore, a certain mastermind had no choice but to influence the other demons to besiege and kill Gui Zhong, which led to the demon war in Liyue entering an extremely brutal stage and causing a lot of bloodshed.

Yi Xiaodaotian, Li Qinglian, and many other immortals could be said to have died because of this.

"He...maybe he really is me from the future." After figuring all this out, Yunxiu smiled and said, "Then we must go in and see for ourselves, otherwise, the truth will never be revealed!"

Chapter 296 Star Imprisonment of All Living Beings: A Glimpse into the Heavenly Path (First Update on Sunday!)

Yunxiu initially believed that Teyvat's fate was fixed and unchangeable, but after trying some things, he discovered that "he" had indeed changed some things.

However, he was unaware of the situation on this line. Just as he had discussed with Kong before, even if Teyvat's timeline was chaotic and traversable, it still required people's names to locate it. Locating people's names and situations at a certain moment was extremely difficult, making it even more difficult to transmit information.

The messages he is receiving are from his future self. This time, however, the message has not been located at him but at Shen He. But that doesn't matter; Shen He wouldn't lie to him anyway.

However, this also confirmed one thing for Yunxiu: escaping Teyvat was indeed a choice made out of desperation, and she couldn't even take most of the people around her with her when she fled.

Ultimately, the reason is likely that people born in Teyvat are subject to the concept of a destiny star in Teyvat itself. Unless one becomes an Overlord, the destruction of Teyvat will befall them as well.

To transcend one's destiny, one must at least reach the level of a Genshin Impact and reclaim all one's Destiny Stars—strength is not a necessary factor for transcendent beings. Master Rene has not yet reached the level of a Legendary being, but he is still a transcendent being.

After reclaiming your destiny star, you can seek to surpass it. The simplest way is naturally to rely on divine gifts, such as the "Star Carving Knife." Because it is a divine object personally bestowed by the goddess of the night, Serene, it can be said that there will be no aftereffects before you become a god. Even if you become a god, you will only belong to Serene's command.

Aside from becoming an enemy of the goddess of the night, Shar, there aren't any major problems...

Anyway, it's almost impossible to die completely once you reach that level, and most people can't reach that level anyway. Yunxiu was quite satisfied with Xiangling reaching the legendary level.

If one wishes to surpass others in other ways, there are ways. Master Rene's method is the "self-sacrifice" he himself comprehended. But in reality, whether it is the Celestial Arts of Liyue, the cultivation methods of Sumeru, or even the Angelic system, there is a way for those who surpass others to cultivate.

Liyue's Celestial Arts, when cultivated to the level of "Genshin," are actually at the level of "demigods." Why is Yanfei only considered a demigod, while Ganyu is a celestial? The reason is not due to differences in bloodline, but because after Ganyu ascended to the legendary level, he began to cultivate the "Severing the Three Corpses" technique, which means he was on the path of transcendence.

Of course, if you are exceptionally talented, it is not impossible for you to start practicing the method of severing the three corpses after you reach the "Genshin Impact". After reclaiming your Destiny Star and severing the three corpses, you will become an Overlord and thus completely break free from the fate of Teyvat.

Teyvat's "severing of the three corpses" is naturally different from the traditional idea of ​​severing good, evil, and self. In this world, the spirit is the root of everything, the soul is the vessel of the spirit, and the body is the vessel of the soul. Therefore, "severing of the three corpses" is actually about transcending the constraints of the body, breaking free from the shackles of the soul, and finally transcending the will of the self through the spirit, thereby achieving complete transcendence.

You can easily see that the Teyvat cultivation method is completely different from the "severing of the three corpses" system. The only point of intersection is the Destiny Star. The six Destiny Stars are a key. However, if you follow the traditional cultivation method afterward, you may be able to cultivate all the way to the peak of the Legendary level. As for whether you can obtain the opportunity to become a god, it depends on luck. Moreover, becoming a god does not necessarily mean you will live forever.

If you cultivate "Severing the Three Corpses", even if you cannot ultimately surpass them, your lifespan can be greatly increased after "Severing the Physical Body", and you can be almost eternally immortal after "Severing the Soul", as long as your spirit and will are strong enough.

When the "severing of the three corpses" and traditional cultivation methods are both cultivated to their extremes, one will embark on a path to godhood. Most witches follow this path, but very few can surpass it. Even a top-tier prophetic mage like Barbielos, who has at least "severed" her physical body and soul, still needs a "Star Carving Knife" to achieve the final transcendence.

Of course, she is only one step away from achieving her goal. She may not use the carving knife at all, but only as a reference. In this way, she can completely transcend this universe.

Yunxiu will naturally try her best to help everyone around her surpass their limits. As for her child, as long as the mother is not in this universe at the moment of childbirth, then the child will naturally have no connection with Teyvat. In other words, the child can be born in her own universe. Since the child is not born with a Teyvat destiny star, leaving will be easy.

Among the girls around him, Shen He is already a legend, and it's only a matter of time before Sugar's talent reaches the legendary level. Xiang Ling, Ayaka Kamisato, Yoomiya, and Navia are slightly weaker. It should be those few that Yunxiu will have to put in some effort. Tsukihime herself, with the four sacred treasures combined, will surpass the level of a descendant. Funina is already a transcendent...

Walnut has good talent, so it's not a big problem...

But Firefly isn't from this universe at all; strictly speaking, she's the Sixth Descendant.

Upon careful consideration, it became clear that even about half of the girls around him needed to find ways to ensure that no major accidents would occur during the destruction of Teyvat.

So at most, she can only protect her own family. She probably can't save the others. It's likely that Ying will have to use her special ability to take a group away to ensure that everyone survives...

After all, this was an escape from Teyvat, a rather desperate choice and a last resort. Even Yunxiu herself didn't really want to end up like this, especially with her whole family wandering in the universe. Even though they had their own little world, they ultimately had nowhere to settle down.

Shen He was naturally aware of the method of "severing the three corpses," and she had actually already begun to cultivate it. Of course, it would be difficult for her to even significantly extend her lifespan, let alone achieve transcendence in the short term.

Although Hu Tao didn't know much about these things, she was aware of the great calamities that Teyvat itself was facing. Even without Yunxiu telling her, she was already very knowledgeable about matters related to life and death and the two realms, so she naturally knew that various great calamities were likely to strike. Therefore, she understood Yunxiu's actions very well.

As for who exactly researched the method of severing the three corpses...

At the confluence of the three mountains in Jueyun Karst, Liyue, lies Taishan Palace, where the Trial of Earth takes place. So what about the Trial of Heaven? The Trial of Heaven is located directly above Qingyun Peak. By ascending to this place, one can obtain the complete method of Immortal Cultivation.

Of course, this is from ancient times. The cultivation of immortal arts is much more complicated now, and most of those immortal arts can be traced back to the "Ancestor of All Immortals," namely the Emperor.

The vast majority of methods of transcendence in the world are derived from Liyue's Three Corpses Severance or Sumeru's Severing of Self-Attachment. Lei's methods are also mainly developed based on Sumeru.

Inazuma's method is simply a different name for the Three Corpses Severing Technique. It consists of four levels: "Straight," "Righteous," "Bright," and "Pure." When combined with Yin-Yang techniques, reaching the Bright level generally grants one the strength of a Primordial God and a long lifespan. The Pure level is almost a complete Three Corpses Severing Technique. If one were to sever the soul, one could reach the "Dao" level of the Fox Abode Palace and possess the power of laws.

The true strength of Liyue lies here. In fact, judging from the footage from seven thousand years ago, Yunxiu really suspects that the Emperor first cultivated to become a transcendent being before becoming a demon god...

After all, the fact that he asked me for that coin most likely meant that he had grasped the final step to becoming a Transcendent at that time. So, at that point, he should have already known the truth about time, or at least understood most of the future.

If that's the case, then the Emperor is even more unfathomable than I imagined...

Yunxiu shook his head. The most important thing now was to find out the truth about Guizhong's demise. As for how to leave this space, he had a rough idea.

“This must be a space left behind by that demon god. Her powers include the power of ‘illusion,’ so we definitely can’t get out using normal methods.” Yunxiu looked at Shen He and Hu Tao’s surprised expressions before taking out the [Fleeting Radiance] item given to her by the Thunder God and smiling, “However, we are not without ways to counter the power of ‘illusion,’ because we also possess the powers of ‘eternity’ and ‘fleeting’ to break illusions.”

"Why would that deity set up such a space? What does she want to do?" Shen He asked疑惑地. "Moreover, it is hidden in that book, 'The Study of the Ruins of the Vast Ocean,' which clearly means that one can only enter as a Liyue person."

"Perhaps it's because he himself didn't know if he could keep this secret in the end, so he entrusted it to the Emperor, who then placed him on Mount Aozang?" Hu Tao proposed a completely new hypothesis: "What if that demon god didn't disappear suddenly, but disappeared after making preparations? But the Emperor can't tell us either."

"Perhaps that's true, but it's obviously not that simple... However, Hu Tao, you're right. Perhaps the Emperor does know many things, but he just can't tell us." Yun Xiu patted Hu Tao's head, and then activated [A Moment of Brilliance], causing waves of light to ripple around the group.

Soon, the space transformed from solid to illusory, rapidly shrinking in front of the group. Yunxiu and the other two stood before the inscription "Jiejianming," upon which lay the book "A Study of the Ruins of Canghai."

The Jiejian Pavilion remained unchanged, as if nothing had ever happened.

Yunxiu suddenly had a thought: the Sea God Palace might not last much longer; perhaps she could take the Sword-Unraveling Pavilion with her...

Chapter 297 Fragmented Map, Divine Alliance, Secret Contract (Second update on Sunday!)

Taking away a pavilion might sound like a fantasy, but it's actually not a big problem for Yunxiu.

Even taking the surrounding land and formation with you is not impossible. The main reason why it was not possible most of the time was the scarcity of spatial artifacts and the fact that formations themselves usually have a blessing on such divine kingdom-like places.

But now that the gods have passed away, and Yunxiu has a spatial artifact, the most important thing is... the Sea God Palace is indeed unlikely to last much longer. If my guess is true, then entering the last level of the Sea God Palace will inevitably take some things with it, and the Sea God Palace's protective shield may not be able to be maintained.

This place will most likely be submerged as well. Even if it can self-repair like the stone steps ahead, it's questionable whether the self-repairing power will still exist by then. It's better to just take it with us.

You can take it back and press it down somewhere on Mount Aozang, so that either Gan Yu or her mother can come and sit there whenever they have time.

Yunxiu told Shenhe her idea, and Shenhe naturally had no objections. The two of them got right to work. Although Shenhe's own magic was not suitable for this, the red rope was a pretty good artifact. Yunxiu's spatial magic had reached a level far beyond that of ordinary immortals. The two of them combined their abilities and quickly solved the problem.

Yunxiu was in charge of setting up the formation here, while Shenhe used a red rope to put the pavilion into his storage bag. The two worked together very skillfully, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they brought the Jiejian Pavilion directly into the storage space.

After briefly sensing the situation and finding no major problems, Yunxiu felt relieved and let Shenhe remove the red rope. The presence of the Sword-Untying Pavilion clearly caused some resistance within the storage bag's space, but Yunxiu didn't care. After all, this storage bag was something he had casually crafted. As long as he could survive this adventure, he could figure out a solution later when they got back.

After tidying everything up, the three quickly left. Floating Chariot Continent itself didn't have many key locations. To enter the next level, they needed to start from Jade Grass Continent, the place where the Sea God Palace used to cultivate medicinal herbs and immortal seeds...

Of course, it doesn't mean much to Yunxiu. He has a storage bag specifically for growing various materials and crops. Unlike the six plots of land that players can only manage in the Dust Pigeon Pot, the crop yield in Yunxiu's demiplane can be described in tons. Moreover, because most of them have been cultivated and modified by Sugar, their quality far exceeds many people's imagination.

Moreover, there's not much left in Yaocaozhou now, so the millennia-old spiritual herbs that you find in cultivation novels are impossible.

The herb garden is much more troublesome to manage than the orchard. If no one takes care of it for a period of time, all kinds of weeds, wild animals, and insects will come out and cause damage. In fact, the spiritual field here has obviously been damaged to a great extent. There are only a few scattered immortal herbs, and their quality is far inferior to those in Yunxiu's storage bag.

Not to mention they are indeed in a hurry right now.

Of course, Yaocaozhou itself is quite beautiful, and because of the array, there is a very high concentration of elemental energy here. At least in its prime, the herbs that can grow here must be quite good.

After quickly passing through Yaocao Island, you will reach the middle layer. The three middle layers are Cangzhu, Wentai, and Lingxi. This was actually the political center of the Sea God Palace in the past. Wentai Island was a library, but now it is almost empty of books. After the sinking of the Sea God Palace, some immortals came here, and most of the books here have been moved to Liyue.

Lingxi was the residence of the Sea God's Palace Demon God in the past, but what is very interesting is that the buildings here are not in a normal form, but are stacked up like coral. It is unknown how this Demon God lived.

However, this was naturally not Yunxiu's concern. His current goal was to reach the bottom of the Abyss Palace as soon as possible. The passage to the bottom was in the center of Lingxi Prefecture, directly below the residence of that demon god. It was said that before the Sea God Palace sank, the passage was always open, but it was naturally closed after the Sea God Palace sank.

Legend has it that a demon was suppressed here to suppress something beneath the sea... It's quite like a Teyvat version of a toilet.

However, it doesn't matter where a demon god lives, so there's a theory that this demon god does indeed still reside here.

Of course, Yunxiu did not find any signs of habitation here, at least he did not sense any aura of the demon god.

When he arrived, the passageway was still open, not closed.

"It seems the legends aren't true after all; at least the passage here is still open." Yunxiu touched the mechanisms around the passage and chuckled, "The disappearance of the Sea God's Palace demon was so peculiar, how could we possibly need to make all the necessary preparations? Even if we really did need to make some preparations, informing the Emperor beforehand would probably be more reliable than her doing it herself..."

"The Emperor and she shouldn't have such a deep relationship, right? Could it be that she's in love with the Emperor?" Hu Tao scratched her hair in confusion, then said as if she had just remembered something, "Speaking of which, before Zhong Li revealed his identity, quite a few elderly people wanted to introduce girls to him here. Once, they even introduced the owner of Mingxingzhai to the Emperor..."

So this is what life is like for the Emperor. You must have had a tough time...

While complaining, he led Hu Tao and Shen He to the "Ruins of Return," which is the lowest part of the legendary Sea God's Palace, where there is said to be a sea eye.

"Is this the legendary 'Return to the Void'? It feels no different from the outside world." As soon as Hu Tao landed, she touched a seaweed plant around her and gently plucked one. It seemed that it was indeed not much different from other places.

"Ahead, there's energy... and strange sounds." Shen He sensed something different and pointed to the space ahead. She was the one most capable of perceiving completely different things, and after gradually adapting to everything here at the Sea God Palace, her perception of this place had reached an even higher level.

"Then let's go take a look ahead." Yunxiu sensed it for a moment and found that the restrictions here seemed to be even stronger, limiting the power of her spells by at least half.

Although there were no other manifestations, Yunxiu clearly felt the suppression of so-called "fate" here, because although her destiny star could still be used here, the faint connection between her and the world seemed to have disappeared, and she could only vaguely sense it.

According to the Teyvats, this place is "a place where the laws of nature cannot be seen."

Of course, it's not impossible to see through it. A vague perception is still a perception. At most, we can only say that the perception here is partially blocked, but we can't say that it's completely absent.

"What would happen if I cultivated the immortal technique 'Severing the Three Corpses' here?" Yunxiu asked, looking at Shen He. "If it's possible, then it means this place is likely connected to more than just demons and gods; it might even be related to a certain ruler..."

“I’ll give it a try…” Shen He nodded, sat down, formed a hand seal, and briefly circulated the “Severing the Three Corpses” technique. After quickly completing the cycle, she slowly said, “I don’t feel any more relief or ease, but it’s about 10% easier to circulate.”

“One-tenth…” Yunxiu nodded. One-tenth was actually a pretty good stat, but it wouldn’t be very effective in a battle of this level.

Was it a failure to transcend? Or some other reason? Yunxiu pondered for a moment, but soon decided to go and see for himself as soon as possible. No matter the reason, it was never a bad thing to go and see.

However, just in case, Yunxiu still cast a bunch of spells on Hu Tao and Shen He. Although they might face demon god-level power and it might not be very effective, it would still buy Yunxiu time to escape. His armor hadn't been used much yet...

The three of them walked forward. It seemed that there was some kind of anti-flying law here, so they could not fly. However, the area was not very large, so the three of them arrived at the place they had sensed earlier very quickly.

This place seems to be the real "dwelling place of the gods," at least more so than many places Yunxiu has seen.

The temple, the divine array, and the aura of the gods, along with murals all around, depicted scenes that Yunxiu had never seen before and were completely different from anything she had ever seen.

The first scene depicts seven people drinking tea and chatting happily together.
