I'm in the Teyvat running group

However, this is precisely what makes Fanes so despicable. Whether it is his suppression of the world itself, his resistance to power itself, or his increasingly extreme suppression of civilization, it can all be described as an act that defies the heavens.

Why do these things? Why hinder the progress of civilization?

Even if you can say that the area outside Teyvat is extremely dangerous, almost entirely surrounded by the abyss, how can you prove that humanity itself cannot find a suitable path?

The power of the Light Realm is extremely violent, and even after modification, it is difficult for humans to use. Couldn't the power of the Void Realm, represented by the Abyss, also be used? Perhaps only by combining and balancing the two can a true world be created.

What role does the Nibelungen play here?

Judging from the will of the abyss itself and a series of events, Yunxiu has most likely figured out the reason why the demon god went mad.

The will of Nibelungen itself influenced the demons and humans from the abyss, while the primordial fragments of the Heavenly Principle, namely Phanes, constantly influenced the demons to devour each other. Coupled with the system constructed from the bones of the Third Descendant, the demons were torn apart by several forces, so it was normal for them to go mad. Under such circumstances, with just a little guidance from Phanes or Nibelungen, the demons could do incomprehensible things.

Even self-destruction.

Even setting aside Liyue, take Ourobas as an example. When that giant serpent resolutely took Lei's thoughtless slash, did he really want to die? Wasn't it because he had been tormented to an unbelievable degree by the will of the Abyss and the principles of Heaven itself?

Perhaps at this moment, death is his only solace... at least that's what Yunxiu thinks too.

After hearing Yunxiu's idea, the immortals fell silent for a long time, and even the Emperor pondered it.

Many of them had considered this idea, and many immortals had even encountered similar situations. However, it was eventually forgotten in the endless wars, and no one was willing to mention it after the war.

This is precisely the most painful aspect of the war between demons.

Chapter 305 The Long Journey Home Leads to a Glimmer of Hope (Second Update on Wednesday!)

At least at this point, Yunxiu understood exactly what the Demon God War was like.

This was a war that Liyue had no choice but to fight, but it was also a war to establish the nation. After this war, Liyue has survived from before the Demon God War to the present day.

Most of the immortals were actually quite resistant to the war between the demons and gods, or even to telling the stories of the war. However, because of Yunxiu's request, the exchange was eventually completed. Of course, because they were concerned that the immortals themselves might have a series of mental problems, they did not invite the Yaksha.

Compared to the immortals, the Yakshas have a deeper understanding of war, which is naturally more brutal and painful.

After bidding farewell to the immortals, Yunxiu returned to Wanmin Hall for a meal and rest, and began preparations for her true resurrection and return to the end.

If the Emperor cannot speak, the other seven gods are probably in the same boat. Since none of them can speak, they have already exhausted all means of obtaining information, and have basically reached their limit. At least... their understanding of the Demon God War is much greater than before they came to Teyvat, and they know at least about the conspiracy behind the Demon God War.

Therefore, the revival plan naturally needs to be improved accordingly.

The first step, naturally, is to extract memories and the soul itself from the earth's veins.

After Gui Zhong died in battle, in order to prevent the remnants of the demon god's outburst from completely destroying everything, the emperor devised a way to erase Gui Zhong's remains and return her to the earth's veins.

This is the safest method, but it is also the most difficult to find the original soul and its remnants, because they have been almost completely obliterated... So what I prepared before was probably not enough. However, this should be the simplest method, as long as enough magical artifacts are made. It's just that the cost is higher, but other issues are very difficult.

The difficulty of condensing a soul is relatively small, partly because Yunxiu herself has condensed quite a few souls, and partly because they have resurrected several powerful individuals and have some experience.

Secondly, there's the issue of rank. The rank of a demon god isn't too difficult to resolve. It's highly likely that Gui Zhong has also practiced the Emperor's method of severing the three corpses, and she's very likely to have succeeded. Although Gui Zhong is likely an innate demon god, her abilities and wisdom are naturally sufficient, so there's no need to worry about her rank. Although it might drop a bit, it can be recovered quickly.

So in reality, she should be better than Bai Chen.

As for whether the energy of the resurrection itself would attract the attention of Fanes, that was actually the easiest thing to solve.

The power of the Death Ruler envelops Nata. During the Night Watchers War, a large amount of energy will be used for resurrection. Dozens or hundreds of them are naturally not as good as a single demon god, but tens of thousands are a different story. Even though Yunxiu is so powerful now, compared to a typical sixth or seventh ring expert, the energy difference is only a few hundred times. Of course, the difference in strength is much greater.

Therefore, the resurrection of the finality itself will naturally not affect the situation of the Night Watchers' War.

If casualties can be minimized, enough energy can be saved for resurrection and restoration... This is why the other six countries want to help Nata win the war.

Of course, there are certain risks involved. Legendary powerhouses may perish in this war, and those who are not Nata's legends cannot be resurrected. However, there is no good solution at this time; the only option is to minimize the risks. Yunxiu plans to find the Great Compassion Tree King in advance to refine a batch of containers that can preserve souls. This way, they can be resurrected later using cloning techniques, which is much simpler.

Finally, the question naturally arises: will this matter attract the attention of divine justice?

Bai Chen didn't have much of a voice in the Demon God War, so he naturally didn't know many secrets. In fact, the sisters Raiden and Inazuma knew the most secrets, but the two sisters had close ties with the four ruling powers, so it wasn't a problem.

As a being who has achieved transcendence, Zhongli himself is under close surveillance by the Heavenly Principles and the Nibelungen. Ultimately, he may also have grasped the most fundamental secret of Teyvat, which is the biggest problem. He previously thought that if the Seven Gods joined forces and the Four Shadows did not interfere, there might not be a big problem, but now it seems that is not the case.

The other timeline version of herself is not without the ability to resolve the Abyss's corruption. Although Ying is in Nordkalai, she is very close to Nata. Moreover, she still needs to go to the key point of the Source Fire to unlock her fire elemental attribute... So she will definitely come to Nata to fight this war.

Based on his understanding of Nordkare, with both of the original two problems—Raylor and the Doctor—now eliminated, it was unlikely that they would cause too much trouble in the short term.

However, as a Teyvat being who does not belong to this era, even if the girl's core was strengthened after entering the primordial sea of ​​consciousness and she gained different abilities, it is highly likely that problems will arise. And to participate in this matter, it is naturally impossible without power approaching that of a demon god.

The power of March is at the level of the Four Shadows. As one of the goddesses of March, she is almost equivalent to one of the Four Great Rulers, and at least has the combat power of the Seven Dragon Kings.

What does this level of combat power mean? The Fuyu Valley in Liyue, the Musou no Hazama in Inazuma, and Mavka's punch that shattered the False Heaven all illustrate one thing: theoretically, the Seven Dragon Kings level even possesses the ability to single-handedly unleash a cataclysmic disaster in Teyvat!

Although it hasn't reached the level of destroying a planet, as long as a few strikes can completely obliterate human settlements, making them uninhabitable, the unrestrained energy bursts and terrifying combat power will naturally resolve any dissent—and this is precisely what Yunxiu is currently lacking.

In the story of Genshin Impact, the main reason why it was so difficult to defeat Doughtore and Rayleigh was that the combat power was insufficient. Even the strengthened servants were only at the peak of the Legendary level. In addition, there were two peak Legendary characters, Falgar and Flint, and a few other Legendary characters. Without Columbia regaining her power, it was impossible to defeat them.

Even after Columbia regained her strength, the battle was extremely difficult. This was because the Seven Rulers of the Mortal Realm could not use their fighting power outside most of the time, unless permitted by the laws of nature.

Therefore, except for the Teyvat Cataclysm when the Seven Gods were summoned to Kanria to fight with all their might, they were unable to take action outside.

This is why these legendary peak powerhouses are treasures of every god, and why even the stragglers in the original timeline were quickly recruited by the Little Auspicious Grass King—if there were no legendary peak powerhouses to support them, who would do all the work outside of Sumeru?

What if a Sumeru encounters problems in Nata? What if a Sumeru expert needs someone to intervene in Nordkalai? What if a Sumeru expert needs combat power to secure a certain treasure? What if there are many situations where a powerful expert is needed to eliminate hidden dangers?

So what you can see is that many things were actually done by the soldiers themselves, which is also his process of atonement.

In Nordkale, the skirmisher became the spokesperson for the Little Lucky Grass King, delivering all sorts of items and information, and personally taking the lead in battles. If there were no skirmisher, then only Seno, who had received the divine inheritance and could demonstrate some strength, would have been able to do it.

However, putting aside Seno's strength, what if something happens inside Sumeru while he's gone? Does that mean the Little Grass King will have to take action himself?

The biggest impact of Capitano, the captain who sat on the Throne of the Source of Fire and actually died, was precisely this: without anyone to restrain Dotole, Dotole would cause trouble in Nodcalai. In the end, if it weren't for the intervention of various beings sent by a bunch of gods and the Witches' Guild, no one really knows how this incident would have been resolved.

Because in Nordekale, only Rauma is slightly stronger, and Yunxiu's understanding is only at a pretty good level among the legendary players.

Therefore, before heading to Nordkalai, one needs to reach the level of a demon god. Even if one cannot reach the level of a dragon king, one must at least be stronger than the legendary peaks who participated in the war—this is not too difficult for Yunxiu.

Nata's own salvation is of course necessary, but Nata has two treasures that Yunxiu has always longed for. The first is "Vichylopochtli," which can almost be said to be the pinnacle of dragon technology. At least in Yunxiu's own understanding, there are really few such terrifying beings in Teyvat that can truly destroy the world.

He naturally had no interest in destroying the world. According to his understanding, this thing was most likely transformed from a fragment of a world, so if he obtained that fragment of a world and the related laws, his strength would definitely increase significantly.

The second is the False Heaven itself. The technology of the False Heaven originally came from the Dragon Clan. There are False Heavens in the ancient sacred mountains, although they do not cover such a large area. Since this technology can cover the entire Teyvat and even allow it to drift freely in the sea of ​​stars, it is naturally an extremely terrifying protective artifact.

At least for Yunxiu, this technology is something they are determined to acquire.

To accomplish these two things, whether she likes it or not, Yunxiu will inevitably need to come into contact with the Source Fire, which means she must confront Gustott.

Even if Nata's war goes smoothly and Gui Zhong is resurrected normally, how to kill Gust is still a problem. Yunxiu is now almost certain that in the previous life, Gust's killing must have been closely related to the four ruling powers, and it is even possible that the ruling powers personally took action.

In this life, because of the need for resurrection and return to the end, it is naturally not so easy for Gust to kill him.

Since it is almost certain that the Four Shadows will not intervene, and may even restrict their involvement, the difficulty of this war will naturally increase.

And the most absurd thing is that the artillery and machinery that Yunxiu has always liked may not be that useful in this war...

Nata's Abyss Invasion is quite unique. Their Abyss itself has a layer of armor, which is actually used to withstand the first wave of attacks. Subsequently, due to their peculiar pheromone system, attacks without pheromone are unlikely to be able to deal with monsters.

Phosphorus fuel is precisely the kind of substance that is very difficult to release mechanically...

So this time, we really have no choice but to fight head-on and use sheer force to overcome everything...

As Yunxiu thought about it, she began to have an endless headache. She knew from the beginning that it wouldn't be that simple, but she didn't expect it to become more and more troublesome after thinking about it.

Furthermore, it is also necessary to consider that, given his numerous actions, which have even attracted the attention of the four ruling powers early on, will Tianli awaken? No one knows, but one thing is certain: Tianli is definitely not completely dead yet, otherwise the Emperor would not still be so cautious.

As someone who was likely the first Teyvat to achieve transcendence and become a god in human form, Yunxiu did not believe that the Emperor could really sit down obediently.

This is really a bit of a dead end...

"It seems you have something unpredictable going on. Do you need the great witch's help?" A figure in red led a cute little girl into the Wanmin Hall and sat down at Yunxiu's table. "Invite the beautiful Klee's mother to dinner, and I'll tell you who you should go to."

"Brother Yunxiu! Mom was just kidding. Klee will pay for her meal!" Klee obediently hung her little backpack on the hook on the wall, grabbed Yunxiu's big hands and said, "It's just... it's just that Klee wants to eat something from Mondstadt today, and Mom said there's some here."

"Klee can have whatever she wants to eat, it's on me." Yunxiu smiled and patted Klee's head, saying, "Ms. Alice, you really are elusive."

"It's a rare vacation time, so I definitely have to take my daughter out for some fun. What's with the 'appearing and disappearing like a ghost' thing?"

Chapter 306 The Witch's Relic Reflects a Childlike Face (First Update on Thursday!)

"It seems that everyone in the Witch's Guild really enjoys this kind of sudden appearance..." Yunxiu smiled and said, "Although I am also a mage, this method can still be quite annoying, Aunt Alice."

"It was Nico who started doing this first. I just thought it was interesting, haha. I'm even planning to teach Klee." Alice smiled and patted Klee's little head, like a big cat petting a kitten. Yunxiu was quite happy to see this. In fact, he quite liked this kind of scene. Of course, it was different for the Knights.

And the fact that the witch likes to make abrupt entrances... well, it's probably a bad habit brought on by Nico.

As a top-tier transformational archmage, Nicole's magical abilities are among the best in the Witch's Guild. Moreover, the greatest strength of transformational magic lies in the fact that these mages, after advancing to the legendary level, have virtually endless means to rewrite the rules of reality, change their own form, and even manipulate time to a certain extent. This level of power makes her one of the most terrifying beings in the Witch's Guild.

Of course, everyone in the Witches' Guild is quite strong, and Alice, as a master of spellcasting, is naturally no weakling either; she just doesn't have as many tricks up her sleeve as Nico.

However, with her exquisite manipulation of space and mastery of magic, she can instantly appear anywhere in Teyvat, which is quite unpredictable.

Eating a few dishes certainly didn't cost much, especially since Wanmintang was essentially Yunxiu's own business. So, they quickly brought over several dishes that were perfect for children. Keli was indeed a good child who made Alice worry-free, and she quickly finished all the food. Alice, on the other hand, didn't eat much, only taking a few bites, perhaps because she needed to maintain her figure...

“Alright…Ms. Alice, I think you didn’t come here just to tell me something, did you? Or did someone send you to deliver a message?” Yunxiu smiled and said, “The Witches’ Guild should also know about the big plan coming up in Nata. I believe you are very aware of my current predicament.”

"Alright, alright, I really can't hide it from you." Alice waved her hand helplessly and said, "Actually, many things have omens. For example, in the original timeline, the Battle of Nata wasn't this complicated, and the Moon Maiden would be reborn as the Goddess of the Empty Moon as prophesied. This point in time is the most appropriate."

"But you have changed everything now, and many things are naturally different from before. It is not so simple for the goddess of the empty moon to be revived... Of course, the overall difficulty has been reduced because both she and the forces supporting her are stronger."

"Is this the world that Lady Barbielos saw?" Yunxiu smiled and looked into Alice's eyes. "If it was that prophetic witch who saw these things, then you must have seen my identity as well. So... let's talk about how to deal with Nata's situation."

"Don't rush, let's talk slowly. Yunxiu, in your opinion, have you changed this world?"

This question really hits the nail on the head for Yunxiu... Has he changed the world? The answer is yes, but has he truly changed the overall rhythm of the world? The answer is no.

Can the survival of a world depend on the death of a few people, the salvation of a few people, or even the existence of a few demon gods? When the darkness from beyond the heavens truly invades, what real role can even a demon god play? Even legendary powerhouses at the peak of the legendary level can only flee.

If the Adventors don't have matching combat power, they can't even defeat Phanes and Nibelungen, let alone completely save Teyvat.

Strictly speaking, there was only one thing he truly and thoroughly changed in this world: he corrected a part of the cultivation system. By using elemental isolation and the magic cultivation system itself, he completed the cultivation system left by Fanes, but only half of it, because at a higher level, one still has to return to the path of the original god.

Then he would cultivate a secret technique similar to "severing the three corpses" to extend his lifespan.

Therefore, this can most likely only be considered half.

"Probably... none? Or rather, very few." Yunxiu thought for a moment before cautiously speaking, "The world is still operating on its original trajectory, only some things have changed..."

“You understand things very well. It seems I don’t need to say much more. You should be able to understand everything.” Alice looked at Yunxiu with a smile. “However, you don’t need to underestimate yourself. Many things you have changed are things that even the Demon God cannot do. It’s just that your power and level are still too weak. Changing more things is not so simple.”

Yunxiu wholeheartedly agreed with this point. Even for Ying, in the original timeline, the major event that truly changed Teyvat was around the time of Nata, when she defeated Gustot with the god of fire, Mavica, and reshaped the ley lines of Nata. This was the first time that Nata truly changed the entire landscape...

As for Nordkale's role in bringing about the appearance of the empty moon and allowing the girl to ascend to the throne of the gods, that was undoubtedly a great creation, and of course, it was accomplished with the help of the March Goddess and the Witches' Guild.

Could it be...? Yunxiu looked at Alice with great excitement.

“That’s right, our Witches’ Guild will also participate this time, because the resurrection of Guizhong is a truly significant event that can change many things. She is involved in the secrets of the Demon God War. As for the problem that is troubling you, our sister Kaiperos will help you. Of course, you also need to make some efforts.”

Alice took out a map from her bag, pointed to two places, and said, "The Witches' Guild itself is subject to many restrictions. For example, my vacation will soon be over and I will return to the border, so this matter needs to be handled by you... Of course, although it will be a bit troublesome with your abilities, it should still be manageable. I have already explained the situation to the Emperor."
