I'm in the Teyvat running group

There were also a lot of champions in other areas. Falgar went on to compete in another drinking contest, but even though he was from Mondstadt, Falgar wasn't a particularly heavy drinker and couldn't actually outdrink Mavka.

Of course, she was stronger than Cetalari. In the end, she didn't even make it into the top 32. The one who won the drinking contest was Chaska. No one expected that Chaska would be so good at this.

In this lively atmosphere, the Night Watchers' War began.

"What exactly is the Kingdom of the Night God like?" Yunxiu asked the contestants next to her with a smile. "I've never been involved in anything like this before. Can someone explain it to me? I'm really looking forward to it."

"The Kingdom of Night... strictly speaking, it's not actually a real country, nor is it real land. It's a place that feels very strange," a girl with the Eye of the Wind Element said with a smile. This was Chasca's younger sister, Aiko. "However, for a great hero like you, it shouldn't be a big problem."

“You’re Lord Vulcan’s friend, so of course there’s no problem!” Marani said with a smile. “Besides, Grandma is here to help you too!”

Chapter 338 First Expedition to the Netherworld: A Night Patrol

Yunxiu turned around and saw Cetalari sitting with Orlan, cheering him on. But next to her was... uh, where did Ying go?

Ying waved to herself with a smile, leaving Yunxiu speechless. However, in the original story, Ying did not enter the Night God Kingdom with the first batch of victors of the Night Watchers War. She entered the Night God Kingdom with the second batch of rescuers after Kazina failed to return. Although Kazina was indeed rescued later, the problems that arose in the Night God Kingdom were only discovered by the first batch of people after they had seen everything.

Yunxiu's purpose in entering this place was naturally to obtain firsthand information and see just how vulnerable Ye Shen really was.

Since the cataclysm of Kanria five hundred years ago was altered, the Night God himself certainly couldn't have been in such a dire state as in the original timeline. Yunxiu also inquired about the situation of many powerful figures in Nata, and from the feedback, the number of people the Night God could support in the Night Watchers War was much greater than in the previous timeline. For example, the number of "heroes" was six in the previous timeline, but now it's fourteen.

Sixteen people can enter the Night Watchers War, and the Nata people can also leave Nata temporarily. The Great Spirit and the Night God will occasionally issue commands and things through the priests and the Fire God, allowing the Nata people to leave temporarily and do some things. This is proof that the Night God was not as badly damaged as before.

In fact, there are two reasons why Yagami has weakened to this extent.

The first reason is naturally because he was hit by the Heavenly Nail during the ancient War of Burial Fire, which cost him most of his life. After that, due to the Ancient Dragon Clan, Nata did not experience the War of the Demon Gods, so the ley lines themselves were able to recuperate for a period of time. However, the accident five hundred years ago completely destroyed the Night God.

However, in this lifetime, the calamity of Nata was actually relatively small. Yunxiu later learned from Wendy that even the Tenochtitkes were not completely wiped out in this timeline, but were scattered among the other six tribes of Nata, only appearing as separate representatives when attending the conference.

Although the Sea of ​​Ashes still exists, its area is much smaller, and reaching the center of the Sea of ​​Ashes is much easier than before.

Secondly, due to the constant need to resist the disasters of the abyss, Gust is still actually there and poses a great threat. Mavika has been thinking about how to completely get rid of Gust. The current situation is more optimistic than before, but the problem is that it is impossible without someone to go with Mavika.

Therefore, Yunxiu and Ying will definitely have to go with Lao Ma to deal with Gustot later on.

Judging from Bushgalo's strength, Gust should be about the same. If the connection between him and the real Gust could be severed, with the strength of Vulcan and Ray, which are comparable, he could wipe out the entire Gust with a single strike. But the question is how to sever this connection.

From the original storyline, the alliance between Mavica and the Traveler was actually the Traveler solving the problem of rank, with Mavica simply outputting power. Of course, as the God of Fire, her power is indeed unparalleled, but in terms of rank and level, she is slightly inferior. So it is precisely for this reason that Mavica was unable to defeat Gustot by herself.

One very puzzling thing is that becoming Abyss-ified does not necessarily mean increased strength, but becoming Abyss-ified certainly makes one more difficult to kill. This is partly because most Teyvats do not have a way to deal with the Abyss.

Another reason is that the Abyss is essentially a void force. If you want to completely deal with the Abyss, you must have a light force of the same level. Pure elemental force is naturally inferior to void force.

This is why Skok is so powerful. Her ice element is actually just a mimicry; its essence is still a higher level of light element. Mimicking ice is just a habit of hers. If necessary, mimicking other various elements is of course no problem.

In particular, the elemental power of the Teyvats has actually been weakened by a round, and the Light Force is the power of the dragons, so most people cannot use even the seven elements derived from the Light Force.

Most people actually use the human realm power, which is a further degraded version of the seven elements of the light realm, and is naturally inferior. In fact, if they could use the power of the light realm, beings like Ying would have a much easier time facing the abyss. As for Skok, it is questionable whether most abyssal monsters can even harm her.

However, putting all that aside, the sixteen Nata who will enter the Night God's Kingdom to fight the Night Watchers' war are basically ready—Yunxiu entered directly using spatial tracking. Although she doesn't have the Night God's protection, it doesn't really matter to her, since her survival ability is many times stronger than Ying's...

Soon, one figure after another disappeared, dragged away by the power of the Night God himself.

Yunxiu left her anchor point on Marani, who was the ninth to be pulled away. Yunxiu instantly understood what this teleportation was all about.

The barrier between the Night God Kingdom and reality is actually more of a conceptual product. It does not actually exist, and naturally, it has no boundary with reality. However, some products in reality whose energy can penetrate space and those terrifying energy aggregates themselves will affect the stability of the Night God Kingdom itself. This is actually the reason why Mavica punched and shattered the barrier between the two worlds.

She has reached the point where she can penetrate both realms, and in fact, judging from her later destruction of the False Heaven, her abilities are likely even greater than that.

Of course, this barrier is still within the realm of space. If one has sufficient mastery of spatial magic, it is still possible to force one through, which is naturally not a problem for Yunxiu.

With a slight tremor, he stepped out and instantly arrived within the Night God's Kingdom. In reality, he had used projection magic to forcibly create a projection next to Marani using the mark. As for his original body, it went directly into his personal space and into his safest place.

He only needs to use the artifact and power to maintain the projection, and he can maintain the existence of power indefinitely, since he does not have the protection of the Night God.

However, even though she had made preparations in advance, Marani was still startled by the sudden appearance of Yunxiu, and even jumped up in surprise.

"Ah... so we got in like that? Is this the magic of a mage...? But I don't think any of the mages from the Flowing Springs have this ability." Marani even reached out and pinched Yunxiu's arm to make sure she could really pinch it before saying with relief, "But it really is real. Can I learn this spell?"

"Hmm... I don't think you can learn it, but I can teach you some similar spells, which are theoretically possible to learn."

Marani's profession is a very special "water ranger". The ranger profession is not uncommon, and there are even some unique professions due to the master-apprentice system. For example, Tinari and Cole are the forest rangers, a branch of the ranger profession. Many forest rangers are this profession.

Marani's profession can also be said to be unique to Nata. As one of the heroes, she also has a legendary equipment, which is a peculiar weapon that looks a bit like a throwing ball, but with a very cute design.

However, due to the special nature of her profession, her constitution and perception attributes are quite high, both at 24 points. Yunxiu has seen this little girl deal damage; she is the kind of person who combines agility and burst damage. The only problem might be that her resistance and resilience are average, which is why she was taken down by a smooth combo when facing Valesa. She only managed to come back through the round-robin tournament.

"Really? Oh well, it's alright. I can learn slowly as I go. And if you need to pay, I have no problem with that." Marani proudly patted her chest and gave a thumbs up, saying, "Even if I'm just a tour guide, I should be able to afford the spells!"

“Marani, Lord Yunxiu may be saying that even you would find it difficult to learn.” Kui Ke walked over carrying her peculiar harp, followed by her sister Chaska. One of the sisters was a bard, but the other was a rare branch of the Mechanist class, the Magic Cannon Master, which was as rare as aliens in Teyvat.

Strictly speaking, there are only four or five aliens in Teyvat so far, which shows how many people are in this profession...

Fortunately, the magic cannon master's attack method is different from others. In fact, the machine itself can still be made by ordinary mechanics. Otherwise, how to make this thing would be a problem.

However, for some unknown reason, there are indeed relatively more individuals with special professions among the powerful in Nata. Yunxiu guessed that it might be because Nata is such a diverse and complex place, making it easy to find ancient inheritances and secrets. As a result, all sorts of strange professions have evolved. It is certain that these professions each have their own path of inheritance, so...

At least Nata is actually a really interesting place.

The biggest impact of the seventeen people's entry was that the surrounding monsters quickly surrounded them. This is the reason for the existence of the "Night Watchers' War". Every once in a while, it is necessary to clean up the filth and monsters to ensure the stable operation of the ley lines.

The biggest consequence of Nata's lack of strength was that too few people were sent down. Five hundred years of accumulation directly led to the increasingly serious situation in the Night God Kingdom, making it extremely difficult to clear them out all at once.

But this time Yunxiu could clearly feel that the Night God Kingdom was obviously much better.

Chapter 339 Night Abyss, Starlight, Moon in the Sky

The Night God can protect more people, so the cleanup of the Abyss is naturally much easier, especially since the scale has always been quite large. Therefore, it has basically been in a state of balance or even gradually reducing pollution. If it weren't for the later wars, it might have been cleaned up eventually over a thousand years.

Therefore, Nata in this life is not actually as precarious as in the other timeline.

The problem is that Teyvat is currently in a very precarious situation, so it's really hard to say what will happen.

"Hmm...?" Yunxiu suddenly sensed something very peculiar in the 'soil' beside him. He cast a detection spell and discovered that it was actually raw stone ore. With a snap of his fingers, thousands of rock elemental mage hands flew out from his body and burrowed into the soil, quickly digging out a large piece of raw stone ore.

"It can probably be broken down into about 15,000 pieces..." Yunxiu nodded in satisfaction. The Mage Hand quickly finished processing the raw ore, giving Kui Ke and Marani about 2,000 pieces each, and naturally sending the remaining 10,000 pieces back to his storage space: "Everyone gets a share, this stuff is very rare in Teyvat."

“There are indeed quite a few Primogems here in the Kingdom of Night… so coming down here to collect Primogems can be considered a perk. Because the ley lines in Nata are active and connected to volcanoes, many Primogems that fell in ancient times will erupt for this reason.” Marani happily accepted the two thousand Primogems and put them into her storage bag, saying happily, “This will make it much easier for my sister to hone her Genshin Impact path.”

"There are more... there should be quite a few more." Yunxiu glanced around. Although there were many monsters here, most of them were easy for him to deal with. But judging from his senses, there should be a lot of raw stone mines. Most of the warriors who came here in the past probably didn't pay attention to these. After all, dealing with monsters was difficult enough, and it was already quite difficult to dig up a few pieces.

However, Yunxiu naturally doesn't have this problem. Even without killing the demons, even without taking action, his twelve-ring level [Automatic Spell Counterattack] skill, which he always carries with him, can solve most problems.

The monster's spells and energy attacks were directly neutralized and transformed into energy that entered his body, becoming a continuous source of energy. Yunxiu's [Detection Magic] and [Earth Vein Perception] also reached an extremely high range, even with a range of tens of kilometers, covering a large area around him.

He found a large number of raw stones through his senses, and then used the mage's hands of different elements to dig them out under different environmental conditions.

In just a few tens of minutes, more than 200,000 raw stones were unearthed. Yunxiu generously gave 40% of them to the strong people who came to participate in the Night Watchers War. Each person received four or five thousand, which was quite a good amount, almost enough to polish a Destiny Seat.

This thing is quite valuable outside as well—as mentioned before, it's meant to help those who can't reach the path of the Genshin Impact refine their Seats and then ascend to the path of the Genshin Impact. But the problem is that most of the Seats refined this way are silver, at most gold, so they can't even break through to the seventh ring.

This is mainly because most people in the past were unable to directly enter the Genshin Impact tier and obtain the ability of the Eye of God, so the Primal Stones are very precious.

With the promotion of the spell system, many people may think that the price of raw stones will decrease, but in fact, it has increased. This is because there are now more people who can reach the critical point, but many people's talents end at the sixth ring. Therefore, in order to advance to the seventh ring, many people will buy raw stones, because raw stones are indeed hard to find.

Previously, the price of a raw gem was around four or five hundred Mora. One tempering required two hundred raw gems. If a master with a high level of skill were to handle it, the price could be reduced to around one hundred and fifty. However, in general, it would take around ten thousand raw gems to successfully temper a Destiny. Therefore, tempering one Destiny would require around four million Mora, and six Destiny would require twenty million Mora, which is basically beyond the reach of ordinary families or individuals.

The price of raw stones has now risen to over a thousand yuan per stone, a surge comparable to that of gold, but there is still no market for them despite their high price.

Yunxiu definitely doesn't plan to sell this thing. Zhiqiong doesn't seem like someone who can properly get through the Genshin Impact stage on her own. She'll hone as many Constellations as she can, and Yunxiu plans to give the rest to Zhiqiong. As for the extras, there are quite a few people on her side who need them...

For example, Xiangling is definitely one. Chefs at the Genshin Impact level are very valuable. However, Xiangling should be able to improve a lot on her own, but there will definitely be one or two flaws.

After all, Xiangling's talent in cultivation is far inferior to her talent in cooking.

However, Yunxiu did not expect to find so many raw stones here; it was truly an unexpected surprise.

As for the many monsters and materials killed along the way, that was nothing. Yunxiu's own magic was powerful enough, and the level of cooperation among these people was also quite high. After all, in Nata, a country of war, their strength in this aspect was absolutely top-notch, regardless of other aspects.

Especially under Yunxiu's onslaught of raw stones, most people no longer had any reservations. Yunxiu himself was a legendary mage with great strength, and a friend of the Fire God, so he was already very popular.

In a country like Nata, everyone admires the strong, and Yunxiu is happy to share money with everyone, so it's not something that can be solved by simply being popular.

Soon, all the monsters here were wiped out. Under Chaska's command, everyone sorted out the spoils. Because of the frequent wars in the Nata region and the fact that most people have military training, they all have a high level of battlefield discipline. The spoils were distributed according to their respective needs.

Even Yunxiu received some, and quite a lot of it. Perhaps because everyone knew that Yunxiu had no shortage of equipment or Mora, they all tacitly gave him a lot of materials.

Yunxiu's material bank, which had been depleted by using various materials recently, has been replenished. Just now, three or four legendary monsters were killed, so there are still a few legendary materials among these. Yunxiu appraised this legendary material with Nata characteristics and found that it was quite good, at least more interesting than materials from other regions.

It's not that it's very strong, but rather that it's interesting.

Because many of the materials in Nata have a special property, namely Night Soul and Elemental Fusion, these things were key materials for the dragon race in ancient times, and are now much more interesting than those from other regions.

Many of the materials used in the Elemental Fusion have been passed down through generations. More importantly, in addition to these traditions, many also possess special energies. These special energies can often be used as special additions to equipment as a unique skill. For example, Yunxiu has seen that many pieces of equipment in Nata have the Elemental Fusion effect, and many of these effects are quite unique and powerful.

For example, the item Marani is wearing has the effect of ignoring 20 points of the opponent's resistance when in a state of burning energy.

Marani is powerful enough on her own, and with the penetration from her class and the ignore effect from her equipment, almost every hit she deals true damage. Only under these circumstances can Natamen deal enough powerful output.

This output itself is also the best tool for dealing with these monsters.

After putting away the materials, Yunxiu followed the others into the depths of the Night God Kingdom. The depths of the Night God Kingdom were completely different from the outside world. In particular, the further in you went, the more strange conceptual things there were, making it look less and less like a normal kingdom.

Although these situations were within Yunxiu's understanding, the situation of the Night God Kingdom itself was still beyond his comprehension.

The feeling was particularly peculiar. The energy of the Night God was a very gentle thing, but this gentleness was not tender. Instead, it was quite corrosive. This corrosive feeling was somewhat similar to the feeling of an abyss. However, Yunxiu could understand where the problem with this corrosiveness came from.

Because the Night God is, after all, an angel, and it incorporates the completely different powers of the Abyss and the Heavenly Nail, all its energy is naturally extremely strange.

Moreover, considering the situation of the Night God's Kingdom itself, it is certain that the Night God suffered greatly during this process. Only when the ley lines were perfected and the power of the abyss was not deep enough could the Night God devote all his power to fighting against the Heavenly Nails. Only when the power of the Heavenly Nails was removed could the Night God regain his former glory as an angel.

However, almost all angels have been struck by the Heavenly Nails.

Night God was one of them, Zibai was another, and the angel of Sumeru, Marikata, also known as the Flower Goddess, also suffered from the Heavenly Nail.

However, the first one to be hit by the Sky Nail was probably Zibai, because Zibai had another task, which was to serve as the "False Moon" of Teyvat. This False Moon has existed since the War of the Burial Fire six thousand years ago.

The existence of the False Moon and the Real Moon is a major problem for Teyvat, and it can only be truly solved after the Real Moon is pulled into the False Moon. However, Yunxiu has thought that if spatial magic is powerful enough and he has a certain conceptual ability, he should be able to pull Zibai over, and at least one of Zibai's three corpses.

However, all of this depends on understanding the true nature of the angel race from the Night God, so this conversation with the Night God is also an opportunity.

However, the Kingdom of Night itself has become increasingly bizarre.

Chapter 340 Abyss Meets Dark Star to Unravel the Mystery of Time

As mentioned earlier, the Kingdom of Night is actually a very peculiar place. The outside world is closer to reality, while the inside is closer to the conceptual realm.

Yunxiu pondered for a moment why the raw stone was so enormous in the Kingdom of the Night God. One major reason was that the raw stone was also a conceptual product. It was very easy to break down once it was dug up; it could even be broken apart by hand, and then it would naturally become a single piece with almost no weight.

Because it is a conceptual stone, it can be polished into a conceptual destiny seat, or perhaps it is a projection of a higher dimension... But in general, the raw stone is a very magical thing.

Another reason might be that the Netherworld has accumulated a great deal of life energy, which is why these things have formed. The Netherworld has seen the fall of many powerful beings, and their energy has accumulated here. Although no one dies in the Night Watchers' War, other human deaths will still enter this place.
