I'm in the Teyvat running group

"It's alright, trust me." Yunxiu waved to Yunsong and quickly pulled Shenli Linghua away: "Yunsong, study hard with your master!"

Only Old Lu and Yun Song, one old and one young, were left there, staring at each other.

"Well... shall we eat first?" After holding back for a long time, Xiaoyue finally spoke her first words to her newly accepted disciple: "Did you eat before coming here? If not, come with me to get something to eat first?"

"I've already eaten, but may I call for the chef now?"

“We in Liyue call you Master, and of course, Inazuma might call you Master, but I think you must be from Liyue.” Zhu Yang Zhenjun, in his deer form, shook his head and gestured for Yun Song to climb up.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you to the cave first to lay the foundation. It’s obvious your parents haven’t been involved in these things.”

Chapter 365 Amidst the Vast Sea of ​​Stars, I Ask About the Way Home

"The True Lord of Moon-Shaving and Sun-Building is quite an easy person to understand." As soon as Shen Li Linghua stepped out of the cave, she quietly said to Yunxiu, "He actually wants to take on disciples, but he can't bring himself to do it because of his status as an immortal. So he was actually very happy when you talked to him about these things."

"I didn't even realize it... So you're saying I gave away that carving knife for free? This thing is quite precious..." Yunxiu joked. This thing is indeed quite precious. Now almost all of them have been given away. Those who have received it are basically high-ranking witches from the Witches' Guild, and several gods have also participated. Strictly speaking, Xiaoyue, Little Lucky Grass King, Amaranta, and Serania are among the lower-ranking ones, but none of them are simple.

Serania is the offspring of herself and an angel, and her rank is actually no lower than that of the Seven Gods.

Both the Moon Shaving King and the Little Auspicious Grass King can ascend to godhood at any time; they are essentially candidates for godhood. The only one who is indeed a bit lower in rank is Amaranta, but she is not simple either, and she gives a lot of things.

The two from the Witch's Guild were already part of a pre-arranged deal, and what Okotavia gave her was indeed substantial enough. The remaining ones were Zhongli, Funina, and Mavica, which were basically half of the Seven Gods. Of course, Yunxiu had no regrets.

The breakthrough of the Moon Slash will inevitably lead to a fundamental improvement in his strength, and the spatial attribute is also very suitable for him. This is different from Alice's direction but equally important. Moreover, the Moon Slash's magic can be passed down, which is the most important point. After his strength is improved, his mastery of spatial magic may bring out a group of great mages of spatial magic in Teyvat.

"Didn't you already plan to give it away, my husband? Otherwise, I don't believe you would give away something as precious as you consider it for something like Yun Song's little matter." Ayaka Kamisato covered her mouth with her fan and laughed. "I went on an adventure to the Abyss Palace with my husband. Everyone was eager to get this back then, so of course I know how precious it is."

"It must be even more precious than this divine artifact-level robe I'm wearing. While these divine artifact-level robes are valuable, each of the powerful figures around my husband possesses several. And this 'carving knife,' though I don't know what it is, is something that even the Moon-Carving and Sun-Building True Monarch is taking so seriously; it must be something extraordinary."

"Besides, my husband knows more than just one immortal. I believe that if you are only looking for a master for the sake of the child, you can also become a master of Xianyun or Lishui Zhenjun. Even the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons will give you face. Why do you have to find Xiaoyue?"

“So, my husband has long wanted to give the carving knife to the True Lord of Tsukuyo, perhaps to get him to come down the mountain, and the child is just an excuse.” Ayaka Kamisato said with a smile, “Of course, it’s not a bad thing for Yun Song. Many of the great youkai in Inazuma consider it an honor to learn Liyue’s magic. It’s just that now I’ll have to stay in Liyue for a while.”

Yunxiu patted Shenli Linghua's head. He could only say that Shenli Linghua's intelligence was indeed first-rate. Although she had only gone to Yuanxia Palace with him and had not had much interaction with the immortals, she still quickly deduced the truth of the matter.

She was certainly right. As for divine artifacts, at least the ones she possessed were not much to this old deer unless they reached the level of divine weapons. The Unfettered Talisman was originally his treasure, but he quickly gave it up after the end of the Demon God War. The Red Rope, a super divine artifact, was given to Shen He when Shen He was just a five or six-year-old child.

As for himself, why would he keep the carving knife to breed? It's definitely for rapidly increasing his combat power. He has this one, but in reality, only two or three people in Teyvat need it.

The Emperor has already taken the "Rock" piece, and even though the Witches' Guild knows about it, Alice has never asked for it back, which means Alice doesn't need it. Since neither of them needs it, only Xiaoyue actually needs it. However, given his temperament, he simply hasn't had the nerve to ask Yunxiu for it. Of course, the main reason is that he feels he can't pay a sufficient price.

But in reality, Yunxiu didn't really care what she got in the trade. Strictly speaking, most of the nine coins were traded at a loss. If Yunxiu wanted, she could have sold them for a higher price.

But why didn't he do that?

Because once Teyvat is destroyed, what is the value of these things? To trade them for survival supplies while wandering the universe?

Okotavia is just like that. She wanders in the universe without a home of her own. If she hadn't been lucky enough to obtain a carving knife from me, which would have allowed her to transcend and find a way to create a new world, then what the future would have been like is still unknown. The precious materials from beyond the world that she traded with me are far more valuable than the price of a carving knife.

Those were genuine materials, completely independent of the world, but Okotavia couldn't utilize them. Her spatial magic skills were insufficient, and if she were to forcibly create one, her level would be somewhat inadequate. Her level was close to that of a transcendent being, but not quite at the level of true transcendence. This was because her homeland had been destroyed, and she needed a new vessel to transcend, something that most worlds couldn't provide.

Therefore, she could only make a deal with Yunxiu. She didn't know when she would encounter something like this again. As for how much material she would have left after the deal, enough to create a world, that was another matter entirely.

Of course, Okotavia isn't at a loss either. She can finally find a home, and even the revival of civilization may not be impossible, although it will be very difficult.

The revival of civilization is never a simple matter. Just look at Kanria to see. It is extremely difficult for a country to revive. Even with the help of the rebels, Kanria's own strong foundation, and the support it received, it has only managed to revive to its current level. It is still far from being a true nation.

Reviving civilization is even more difficult than rebuilding the entire civilization of Teyvat, something even Fanes couldn't accomplish.

Fanes still hasn't solved the problem of the cultivation system, and even after Yunxiu patched it up, it's still not completely resolved. This shows just how difficult it is. And this is only one cultivation system. The technology and knowledge required for the revival of the entire civilization are terrifying. It's almost impossible for Okotavia to revive the entire civilization. Perhaps she only wants to revive a part of it as a consolation for her existence.

“You won’t be idle while you stay in Liyue for a while. I’ll talk to Grandma Ping and you can cultivate there for a few days. Then you’ll be considered a disciple of a celestial being.” Yunxiu took Shenli Linghua’s hand and led her to the outer perimeter of the Sacred Fire Arena. It was a rare scenic spot. The couple looked like they had just sent their child to school. They found a famous restaurant in Nata, ordered a bunch of dishes, and leisurely enjoyed the scenery of Nata.

"I thought that a country in the midst of war would be a land of constant conflict, or at least a place where people would be terrified of the pain of war. I never imagined that the people here would love life even more than Inazuma." Ayaka Kamisato elegantly cut a skewer of grilled beef heart, dipped it in Nata's special sauce, and carefully took a bite.

She was very happy with the tender meat and the delicious sauce.

“It is precisely because we live in a country where war is everywhere that we should enjoy life even more…” Yunxiu said with a smile. “Because the meaning of war is to make life better, so even between two wars, it is necessary to enjoy life.”

This is not indifference to war or helplessness in the face of death, but a kind of open-mindedness in a true sense.

This is also why Yunxiu really likes the original timeline of Genshin Impact, because it truly doesn't stigmatize anything.

In the original timeline, the Night Watchers War in Nata was also extremely brutal, with many powerful warriors dying in battle. Among them were even many of the "Six Heroes'" relatives and friends, including Chasca's sister, Queko. Queko even helped us with some matters.

But in the original story, did the Nata people become devastated because of this, or even cry and wail during the war?

No, they not only stood up and truly fought the Night Watchers War, but also launched several grand carnivals after the war, including carnivals, sports meets, and a grand stage on an island in the summer event version, all of which were trying their best to vent their emotions and celebrate the significance of all this.

This is Nata, a nation living under the sun, where the soul of the entire country is free from so much filth and helplessness.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Nata have been able to persevere through thousands of years of continuous warfare. Without such a strong will and mental strength, how could they have possibly extended their fate to this point?

“I see… This is completely different from Inazuma’s aesthetics, but I do prefer it here.”

"Try this, you should like it." Yunxiu waved his hand, ordered two glasses of "Deep Sea Tupac" and handed them to Ayaka Kamisato. This was also his favorite drink recently, and he drank one or two glasses almost every day.

“But my husband, there’s something I’ve always wanted to ask you.” Ayaka Kamisato took the wine, took a couple of small sips, and then said seriously, “I’ve seen everything you’ve done over the past year. If you really succeed one day in the future, what will you do?”

"Will I wander the stars, continue developing magic, or... leave this world in search of something?"

Chapter 366 The Loom Will Begin, and Sin Will Arise

"Wandering among the stars, leaving this world..." Yunxiu asked, puzzled, "Why would you think that?"

“My husband has been preparing for all this, I can feel it, and I know it must be something incredibly terrifying,” Ayaka Kamisato said with a smile. “However, you haven’t told many people, so I didn’t ask, but I know.”

Yun Xiu carefully observed Ayaka Kamisato's expression, earnestly confirming her thoughts, and for a moment, she was at a loss for words.

He didn't tell many people around him about this. Those who were capable of getting involved didn't need to be told, and most of them actually knew about it. Those he didn't tell were mostly people who weren't capable of getting involved.

Ayaka Kamisato is indeed quite strong. Recently, she has even shown signs of breaking through to the ninth ring, which is a sign that she has completed half of the fifth stage of godhood. According to her talent, advancing to the legendary level is not a problem, and she may even be able to fight for the peak of the legendary level in the future. This can almost be said to be the limit of strength among mortals.

Unfortunately, at this level, it's unlikely that Ayaka Kamisato will be able to grow any further.

Even a person's talent will eventually run out. Ayaka Kamisato is not actually young. Although she can be said to have locked away her youth because she is a powerful warrior, she is actually two years older than Yunxiu and is already 21 years old this year.

The original cultivation system in the Genshin Impact world was quite against one's will, and this was the reason why some people broke through to the Legendary level in their early twenties. Even Diluc, who was still stuck at the seventh ring in his twenties, was mainly due to his mentality. In fact, after solving this problem, he quickly broke through to the Legendary level. A Legendary level person under thirty is still very young.

Even with Yunxiu's help, Ayaka Kamisato has only barely reached the edge of the ninth ring. Without Yunxiu, she would probably reach the eighth ring at around twenty-five and the ninth ring around thirty-five. At that time, her strength would be quite good, but she would most likely not be able to touch the legendary level until after fifty.

This can certainly be called genius, only slightly inferior to someone like Kaiyangxing, and can definitely be considered a top-tier expert under a god.

But... that's not enough.

This leads to another issue: the understanding of the origin of the world and the cognition of its laws.

The reason why Tsukihime was able to quickly elevate herself to the legendary pinnacle in a short period of time is because she had actually come to understand the fundamental laws of her mother and aunt, the Thor sisters.

Therefore, after comprehending the martial arts of "Dao Heart", she was able to unleash that thoughtless slash in an instant, directly killing the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard, which would have required at least two or three nine-ring squads to kill—just like how the Golden King Beast was killed by the servant and Abedo working together, both of whom were demigods with divine artifacts.

It is true that there are many ways to become powerful in martial arts, and it is not just about relying on laws.

For example, Li Qinglian is a very typical example. He is not particularly skilled in the cultivation of laws and the Three Corpses, but he has a sword and intense emotions.

Only by reaching the pinnacle of emotion can one reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship. This is Li Qinglian's way of the sword. In this idealistic world, this kind of enhancement to combat power is terrifying. It is the true meaning of the way of the sword reaching the divine level.

This is why Gan Lin is still willing to wait for Li Qinglian even after thousands of years, and even went to learn about the Sword Pavilion and brought back many stories.

Unfortunately, Ayaka Kamisato is still at the level of "technique" and has not yet reached the ultimate level of "Tao".

“You’re thinking about the future. I’ve already taken the hardest step.” Yunxiu touched Ayaka’s face and said seriously, “Even in the worst-case scenario, I can guarantee that the people around me will survive… I wouldn’t mind giving you a few spots, though that might mean wandering the universe.”

"Wandering the universe, that sounds like an interesting thing, but surely my husband wouldn't just make such basic preparations, would he?" Ayaka Kamisato said with a smile, even a hint of danger in her expression. "Besides, my husband is the epitome of 'a cunning rabbit with three burrows,' you know. I heard Miss Navia say last time that he really does have a place to stay anywhere, doesn't he?"

Um... is this a case of like repels like? But I remember you and Navia seemed to have a pretty good relationship...

Yunxiu was quite troubled, but he quickly decided to give Shenli Linghua some information. After all, Xiangling knew about these things, and Shenli Linghua could get information from her "elder sister" if she lowered herself a little. Xiangling wouldn't refuse, since they sometimes teamed up to "deal with" Yunxiu.

“This is the worst-case scenario. In reality, it certainly won’t be like that, and there are other ways… but my priority is definitely that everyone survives.” Yunxiu tapped the table with a headache, then lightly cast a spell to cover the area with a cognitive barrier before speaking: “The destruction of Teyvat itself is almost inevitable. Many beings have now set their sights on Luminous, hoping that she can reopen the world and revive everyone, but I think that’s unrealistic.”

This is real.

It wasn't that Yunxiu thought it was completely unrealistic, but rather that Yunxiu believed even the Descendants weren't that powerful.

Even someone as powerful as Fanes couldn't completely reverse the fate of a world, and his own survival was questionable. So it was definitely unrealistic, and one of the most important reasons why Yunxiu judged it was impossible to succeed was...

He tried it himself!

That image of himself, standing on the high platform of Sky Island, in agony, was something he could never forget!

He defeated Fanes, and even had four shadows appear on his body, which can be said to have continued the legacy of Teyvat. However, in the end, it was a miserable defeat, and he even suffered a painful one.

Yunxiu didn't disbelieve in Ying's abilities, but it was a very simple truth—even she, a transmigrator and prophet, couldn't accomplish what Ying could, so what would be the cost?

Zhongli once said to Ying, "I don't want you to get too involved with this world, so please understand the pain of not telling you these things."

This shows that getting too deeply involved with this world comes at a heavy price.

"Is it unrealistic..." Ayaka Kamisato fell silent. This was indeed a rather heavy topic. If she could still think of a way to deal with everything concerning herself, then the problems of the world itself were something she simply couldn't touch. If Yunxiu found something troublesome, then she probably couldn't do anything about it either—it was really beyond her ability.

“However, there are always other ways. At least we have a backup plan now, right?” Yunxiu smiled, called the waiter over, ordered some more food, and slowly began to eat. “Besides, even in the worst-case scenario, there’s nothing wrong with going to see other civilizations. Perhaps one day we can find a new Teyvat.”

After hearing this, Ayaka Kamisato said nothing more.

She has always been a very wise person. Since Yunxiu clearly stated that the solution to a problem is very troublesome, then it's better not to even think about it.

Not causing trouble for Yunxiu is her best option right now.

As for how far things will develop in the future...

At least she already has a ticket to the new world, and she can bring a few family members with her, which... is enough, right?

perhaps.

-----------------

Ayaka Kamisato's problem was just a side issue; since they were already there, they didn't bother going back to Inazuma.

Inazuma doesn't have much to deal with lately. In addition, Inazuma is currently fighting on three fronts: the Dead Zone, the Dark Sea, and Nata. This has directly led to a rather serious atmosphere within Inazuma, and there aren't many things to deal with.

Yunxiu's initial plan was for Shenli Linghua to become an apprentice of Xianyun or Granny Ping, so that she could stay in Liyue for a while. However, she did not expect that Shenli Linghua would eventually find Ganyu. After a conversation, the two of them addressed each other as master and apprentice. Then, under Ganyu's escort, she returned to Liyue Academy with Yunsong.

Gan Yu came to deliver supplies. She brought over a new batch of Guizhongji after it came offline, and also picked up Shenli Linghua and Yun Song, the new disciple of Xiaoyue Zhuyang Zhenjun.

It must be said that Zhenjun's level is indeed very high. When Yunxiu met Yunsong on the third day, it was obvious that he had been taught a lot of magic and his abilities had become much stronger. He even carried two legendary equipment.

Upon asking, Yunxiu learned that Xiaoyue had given her two items, which made her marvel at how wealthy the old deer was.

On the fourth day, Ying finally returned, travel-worn. After a fierce battle with Yunxiu, Ying told Yunxiu about the recent events.

In particular, her ancient name "Dumani" has been basically completed, and the real war is about to begin. This made Yunxiu marvel at Ying's efficiency. In fact, they have only been in the world of Nata for less than a month, and they have already cleared the Dragon Clan dungeon, Ochika Nata and the Ancient Holy Mountain in just one month. Ying is truly a god!

"However, this time in the Land of Woru, I saw my brother again, and Dainesreb..." Ying lay on the bed and said quietly, "My brother seems to be even stronger now, and he has also completed that 'Loom of Destiny,' and it is said that he has a chance to weave the ley lines of Kanria, but there is no place to place them yet."
