I'm in the Teyvat running group

After reviewing the competition list, Yunxiu couldn't help but exclaim that there were indeed many strong individuals in Nata.

Because of my special status, I was invited to the judging panel as a guest of honor, and thus received the list of contestants in advance.

Nata's strength was already terrifying, and with the addition of its magic system, it became even more formidable. In terms of sheer numbers, it even surpasses Liyue! If Liyue didn't have the "Severing the Three Corpses" technique, which allows it to have a group of immortal beings, it might not be able to compare to Nata.

Each of the six tribes has at least four legendary warriors, and even the declining Munata has produced two.

The strongest are the Suspended Wood People, who have a total of seven legendary warriors. The weakest are the Smoke Mystery Lords, who, even with the addition of Sitralli, only have four. However, the Smoke Mystery Lords are strong in their support of magic and some mystical aspects, which is unmatched by other tribes.

However, perhaps because Nata's own promotion mechanism has problems, Yunxiu believes that Nata's legendary experts are slightly weaker than those of other countries.

This is mainly reflected in the balance of combat power and the diversity of means.

Generally speaking, most legendary powerhouses in most countries, as long as they advance normally, will have some special qualities, or even some extraordinary abilities. Even if they are not so powerful, most of them will master several elemental forces and multiple methods.

For example, Liu Yun Borrows the Wind. Although she mainly cultivates the wind element and seems to be a master of mechanical arts, she is actually a powerful legendary ranger with many unique abilities. Of course, we cannot deny that this is due to her lifespan. After all, if you can live for four thousand years, you will most likely have a lot of abilities as well.

Even though Shen He is only in her early twenties this year, she has a variety of skills. In addition to her own martial arts prowess, she also has very strong talisman-making skills and sealing techniques, which are all advantages of Shen He.

Most of the powerful figures in Nata have focused their skill points on attack. In addition, due to the inherent mechanism of the elemental burner, most legendary figures are powerful in combat but lack in skill. Moreover, most of them do not actually have a secondary element or profession, only a few do.

Of course, the advantage is that cultivation is very fast. Some of the exceptionally talented Nata people can even become legends before the age of thirty, and the most talented can even lower this minimum to twenty.

However, Nata's legendary average lifespan was also the lowest; the information Yunxiu saw indicated he was only fifty-seven years old.

Even if legendary powerhouses are human and lack the means to extend their lifespan, they can generally live to be over two hundred years old. In the world of legends, someone in their fifties is still considered a child. So why do these legendary powerhouses live so short? The answer is endless war. Each time, a few are selected to enter the Kingdom of the Night God. Although they are resurrected, they will ultimately lose something, or they may reach a point where resurrection is impossible...

This is what makes Nata different from other countries; Nata people really don't care much about death.

It's not just because of their long-standing beliefs and traditions, but also because for the Nata people, life is sometimes a matter of "what joy is there in living, what sorrow in dying?" Entering the ley lines after death is simply a different way of life.

On the continent of Teyvat, each country has its own unique cultivation and lifestyle. Each country faces different problems, so naturally the issues they need to resolve are also different. They also have their own cultivation methods and the laws governing the birth of the strong, adapting to local conditions.

However, even before Yunxiu promoted the magic system, Liyue's system was indeed the most advanced and the best, and it had the most legends on the entire continent. It even had a magical method called "Severing the Three Corpses," which could allow humans to cultivate into transcendent beings. Moreover, the immortals of Liyue all had some kind of inheritance.

Although the trials from the Demon God War era have been abolished, the immortals still descend into the mortal world to find disciples and teach. Recently, Yunxiu learned that the three from Jueyun Pavilion had taken in three or four disciples, one of whom Yunxiu knew.

However, he himself is now an immortal. Among the disciples he had previously taken in, the more outstanding ones have been turned into his personal disciples. For example, Senior Sister Zhiqiong has already started to have her own disciples.

Although it mainly involves surveyors.

Zhiqiong's combat strength has never been strong, and most of the spells she has mastered are used to deal with various strange situations in the wild. However, she has never been interested in fighting, so this is not surprising.

However, Nata's own Holy Night of Return pilgrimage, combined with the selection methods of various tribes, is also a very effective training mechanism, which is very suitable for Nata's situation, at least from the perspective of the training system.

Moreover, if you include sports meets and various additional training programs, Nata can basically guarantee that every talent will be discovered, which is truly remarkable.

This Return of the Holy Night Pilgrimage is the highest-level competitive tournament in Nata, similar to the Olympics. I'm sure you've all seen the original tournament in the timeline.

Kachina defeated Marani, but after entering the realm of the Night God, she did not return. This led to Ying and several others entering the realm of the Night God, and they almost could not return. In the end, Mavica punched and shattered the barrier between the realm of the Night God and the human world, at the cost of burning a lot of materials.

Memories and materials represent power, and this price was paid by Mavica. Of course, her need for the Holy Flame to maintain the boundary is a very important part of the reason. If she could use the Holy Flame directly, it would be much easier, but that would not show the depth of Mavica's memories.

Although Mavica, as the Goddess of War, possesses top-tier abilities and formidable combat power, her memory is not particularly strong compared to mortals, and is even inferior to some of the more powerful mortals. This is what worries Yunxiu about Mavica. However, judging from the current situation, Mavica's spirit is top-tier even among gods, and is in no way inferior to Funina.

This level of mental strength is enough to support her cultivation of the Three Corpses Severance to the final step. As the God of Fire, she already possesses a divine position, so naturally she doesn't need any restrictions and can cultivate all the way to becoming a transcendent being.

What Yunxiu is actually more worried about now is that the original thing will still happen—that is, the failure of the Holy Night Pilgrimage of Guihuo. This is actually very hurtful to Mavica. However, Mavica's strength in severing the three corpses has greatly improved, and her rank is high enough that she should not encounter such a thing.

But... who knows?

After thinking it over, Yunxiu found Mavica and prepared all the spells and skills. Then she arranged everything. Naturally, preparations needed to be made for this Holy Night of Returning Fire Pilgrimage.

"At worst, I can just go down with them..." Yunxiu thought to himself. It really wasn't a big deal for him. He was one of the top archmages, and escaping with spatial magic was no big deal at all...

But how to get down is another problem. However, I seem to be getting along quite well with Nata's Night God now that I'm here, so it's probably not a problem.

After having another drink with Mavica, Yunxiu returned to her room. These matters would naturally need to be dealt with later. The Guihuo Holy Night Pilgrimage wouldn't begin for another week, so she had plenty of time to do things, though there wouldn't be much to do.

Over the next week, Yunxiu learned about Nata's current situation. Nata's strength was certainly formidable, but the problems Nata himself had were also undeniable.

Nata is indeed powerful enough and relatively wealthy enough, and the model of the six tribes is actually quite suitable for Nata's own situation. However, the problem is that this model is actually somewhat incompatible with the current situation.

As Teyvat has developed, its main adversaries are no longer monsters, but the Abyss or even more terrifying opponents. Therefore, concentrating all resources and manpower is the best approach, which is why nations like Liyue and Mondstadt have built powerful armies.

Nata's Holy Night of Return pilgrimage did indeed bring all the tribes together, but was it really that simple? Of course not.

No matter how harmonious the tribe is or how united the upper echelons are, you can't change the internal problems, and these are precisely the problems that must be solved now.

For example, if the Mist Lord is now facing a large-scale invasion, then other tribes will definitely need the support of the Flower Feather Society or the Suspended Wood People, which is actually equivalent to losing troops. However, this problem can be solved in Liyue because all the Thousand Rock Armies are actually under the command of a single group.

Of course, the main reason for this is that Nata itself does not have a sufficiently stable and long-lasting leader. Even someone like Mavica, who returned from the past, did not actually lead for very long because of her limited lifespan.

Why is Liyue so strong? Why is the Geo Archon able to maintain such a firm grip on Liyue?

Many people actually overlook one point, which is the fundamental power of lifespan and one's own people.

Just like Fulyna, why is Fulyna's life so difficult? Because Fulyna doesn't have her own followers.

Even a god needs people on his side. Without a few powerful henchmen, it's inconvenient to do many things.

This is actually consistent with the political logic in reality—in the end, you need a group of people to carry out any task, otherwise you will definitely fail to get things done.

Furina's biggest problem is that she lacks her own power base. In most cases, the only armed force she can utilize is almost entirely in Navilette.

He held it in his hand, and then Vilette was Fucarus.

They found someone who created a structure of a water god and a high judge, so Funina had no choice but to carry on like this.

In the beginning, even Naviette had no one to rely on. In the end, Melusin and Naviette went through many hardships to finally bring the situation under control. But by then, they had entered a period of stability, and it was best not to change things during a period of stability.

There are many things that even a god cannot intervene in. It's not just a matter of whether or not one has the power to do so; even if one does have the power, it's still not acceptable, because intervening would lower one's prestige.

For example, if a vicious human villain suddenly attacks and tries to assassinate Frynn, even if Frynn has the ability to do it herself, it would be beneath her dignity. The best way would be for a guard to slap him to death, but unfortunately, Frynn doesn't have that.

Why are Zhongli and Wendy considered the strongest? One fundamental reason is that they have people under their command. They only need to give an order, and various people will carry it out. God only needs to handle the most troublesome matters.

By cultivating this group of long-lived beings, and because they live so long, they can maintain firm control over everything.

Just like Gan Yu, it's more accurate to say that the Seven Stars are Gan Yu's cabinet than to say that Gan Yu is the secretary of the Seven Stars. Gan Yu reviews a series of documents from the Seven Stars and then sends them out for execution. Once Gan Yu leaves her post, the entire operating system of Liyue will immediately collapse.

This is the problem facing Nata now. Nata has no immortal beings, no sufficiently immortal leaders or even gods, which is a very difficult situation. Under such circumstances, it is already an achievement to be able to maintain Nata using the current system.

Therefore, whether Mawika can achieve immortality and establish her own system is actually very important, at least in this era.

Fortunately, with the method of severing the three corpses, perhaps Mavica can now do some things properly.

Living a long life is often an advantage. After all, like Yue Ji, who lived for five hundred years and met Yun Xiu, she broke through from the ninth ring to the legendary level in a short time. Isn't that the benefit of living a long life?

However, this pilgrimage is a great opportunity.

Chapter 333 A Gathering of Heroes Amidst Abundant Harvest

Mavica's own strength is undoubtedly top-notch, but the lifespan of gods and their followers determines the rule of a country.

The reason why Nata has been able to continue to this day without major problems is that Nata is actually facing a world-ending crisis. Under such a crisis, everyone must unite together, which is not much different from Inazuma.

Inazuma itself actually has many problems. In the original timeline, Rai didn't have much ability to govern the country. His solution to problems was basically to cut and slash. But even so, Inazuma was able to maintain stability. One fundamental reason is that the threat posed by the Dark Sea to Inazuma was too great, to the point that even if they tried their best, they might not be able to solve it.

In this situation, isn't it necessary to rely on Shadow to solve these problems? So we can only endure it.

In this timeline, although Raiden is still around, the management of Inazuma remains relatively high-pressure. This problem has been alleviated to some extent since Yunxiu recently invented the Spirit Realm, because Inazuma now has a reason for many Teyvat powerhouses to be stationed there for a long time, which greatly reduces the defensive pressure on Inazuma itself.

The main server of the Spirit Realm Agency is located here. Because it is the common property of the seven kingdoms of Teyvat, each kingdom has deployed a number of super-strong individuals. These strong individuals have attracted a large number of ordinary strong individuals to come here. Now, this place is almost the second largest gathering place of strong individuals in Teyvat.

The first one is naturally the dead zone.

The official Inazuma organization allocates a portion of its quota and computing power as rewards, allowing many powerful individuals to undertake tasks in Inazuma to deal with monsters and disasters. Occasionally, it even attracts legendary powerhouses to take action. As a result, many areas on Kiyose Island have been cleared recently, along with the battle fortress of Tsurugai.

At least recently, Inazuma's condition has been much better than before.

What other advantage does having more people have? It means that the seemingly troublesome manga artists and writers like Inazuma can find a lot of material to create. Recently, the exotic style has become popular, and even the ongoing serialized "Yunxiu Zhenren's Demon Subduing Chronicles" has released an otherworldly chapter.

As for where the information came from, it naturally came from Ms. Firefly of the Grammer Iron Cavalry, who wished to remain anonymous.

For this reason, she redesigned her transformation device, making it not only extremely cool, but also able to slowly transform from her hand like flowing water—it can only be said that Liu Ying is actually a chuunibyou girl at heart, right?

However, he was helpless to the fact that Yunxiu had now become one of the top three must-eat items for female fans of Hanamisaka.

One more thing to add: the other two in the top three are the Emperor and the gender-swapped Moon Princess.

After the Emperor retired, he also visited Inazuma during his leisurely travels in the mortal world. He was warmly received by Raiden. Although outsiders naturally do not know what happened between the two in private, in public, Inazuma and Liyue did have more contact and signed many new agreements.

But Yunxiu knew that the matter was actually very simple: the two gods were having a contest of not blinking, and in the end, with the help of Lei Dianzhen, he narrowly defeated the Emperor by three minutes. So…

We can't even say that Lei Dianzhen had the upper hand, because the Emperor was actually in a state of three corpses combined to deal with some matters, which meant he was one person more than Lei Dianzhen.

Although the Emperor has retired, everyone tacitly accepts that he is not an outsider. The Emperor has simply lost his continuous guidance and help in Liyue, but he will still take action when necessary. After all, as he himself said, he was a human from ancient Liyue who cultivated to become an immortal, so he has always been concerned about these things.

Does Nata actually have any major, irreplaceable advantage? The answer is crop cultivation.

In this respect alone, Nata boasts one of the largest and most fertile plains in Teyvat, making it ideal for growing a wide variety of crops. While Mondstadt also has vast plains, as described in the introduction as "a city of wind and pastoral songs," Mondstadt's most important aspects are naturally animal husbandry and the production of various wines. Nata also possesses these, and its wine industry is not lagging behind, just with a different style.

However, when it comes to other crop cultivation, it can only be said that even Liyue cannot compete with Nata's innate talent. With the support of volcanic ash and abundant elemental energy, Nata's talent can be said to be brought to its fullest potential.

Whether it's grains, fruits, or all sorts of crops, Teyvat has almost reached a level of uniqueness. Places like Inazuma, Sumeru, and Fontaine import large quantities of crops from Nata every year. Inazuma is relatively barren, which goes without saying. Fontaine is mainly because the Water Kingdom is indeed slightly inferior in grain cultivation, but Fontaine is also the largest fishing ground on the entire continent.

The waters of Lake Fontaine, the source of all waters, are particularly suitable for aquaculture, and Fontaine's fisheries are among the best on the continent, but its agriculture is not so successful.

Agriculture in Sumeru is not very developed, for a very simple reason: neither deserts nor rainforests are suitable for the development of agriculture, especially rainforests, where the amount of rainfall and the trees and fallen leaves can easily kill most crops.

The crops that most of us eat are actually grasses, that is, gramineous plants. In this respect, Teyvat's classification is very similar to what we are familiar with. As a ranger, Tinari was very knowledgeable about these things, and his introduction mostly focused on his identity as a ranger and botanist.

So, is grass suitable for growing in rainforests? Of course not. Therefore, it is only suitable for planting in temperate plains with abundant water.

Nata is such a place.

Although Liyue has indeed cultivated a lot of farmland through magic and hard work, and the crops grown are quite good, their talent is simply not enough to compete.

Therefore, Nata's trade with other countries was mostly conducted through agriculture, which indirectly affected Nata's technological development. Fortunately, Nata possessed a powerful ancient civilization—the glorious civilization established by the ancient dragons—so Nata could rely on archaeology for technological advancement...

Of course, with the establishment of the Spirit Realm and the promotion of the magic system, Nata is no longer the same as before.

For example, the registration for this year's Holy Night of Return to Fire Pilgrimage was actually done in the Spirit Realm.

To date, 16546 people have registered for the entire Nata, and the minimum requirement for registration is five rings!

In reality, most of the time, in order to ensure results, players who have reached the sixth ring and entered the "Genshin Impact" level will really put in the effort to prepare.

"The final number of applicants should be around 22,000, compared to 15,000 last year. This year's increase is mainly due to the promotion of the magic system." Mavica pointed to the registration form that Yunxiu was looking at and said with a smile, "Especially this year, there are many true geniuses participating, such as this one, Kui Ke, a genius from the Flower Feather Society. She was originally far weaker than her older sister Chaska and did not have the talent for cultivation."

"However, within the magic system, she unexpectedly possesses a talent for bards, and in just one year, she has cultivated to the point where she has the opportunity to enter the path of 'Genshin Impact.' Although she is still far behind her sister, she is enough to compete for a small championship."

"Oh?" Yunxiu looked at the woman who had died in the Night Watchers War due to the damage from the Abyss. She carried a peculiar Nata ancient musical instrument on her back. According to the description on it, this thing was called "Kunaqin". It was an ancient Nata musical instrument and a collection of the Flower Feather Society. Kui Ke unexpectedly recognized it as her master after becoming a bard.

In Yunxiu's opinion, this ancient musical instrument is practically a legendary piece of equipment, which explains why Mavica said she was capable of winning a minor event...
