I'm in the Teyvat running group

Yunxiu didn't believe that the Sky Ruler and the Five Great Sinners would just stand by and watch their victory!

Chapter 373 White Horse Breaks Through Illusions, Help Appears

One after another, abyssal monsters emerged from the gates of the abyss, and one after another, powerful beings rose to their defenses.

The army was constantly being deployed by Yunzhi and Ineff's exquisite command art, with various legendary powerhouses and legions being constantly arranged. The battlefield looked extremely chaotic, but in reality, there was a complete set of internal logic at work.

Once the legendary powerhouse's burst of power subsided, the mage legion quickly caught up with relentless firepower. In the gaps between the mages' spellcasting, the ranger legion continuously suppressed the fire with lightning bolts. Any occasional mishaps were quickly corrected by mobile forces. With the support of Xiaoyue and several other powerful figures, the entire battle line, though extremely tense, was gradually advancing towards the "gateway."

Large numbers of troops are constantly deployed to the battlefield, and then quickly withdrawn after a few waves of attacks. This is a tactic that Yunzhi came up with during the Crane View and Dead Zone battles. The idea is to use rotation to ensure a sufficiently low casualty rate, but this tactic can only be used when the troop strength is extremely abundant.

The good news is that their troop strength is indeed extremely abundant this time.

Having received advance notice, Nata had made preparations well in advance. The six nations sent more than thirty legendary powerhouses, and with the addition of two gods and several legends that Yunxiu later brought in, along with Nata's original forces, the number of peak powerhouses exceeded sixty. Seventy percent of the high-end combat power of Teyvat was gathered here, making it even denser in terms of troop density than the Dead Zone.

The sheer size of the army resulted in terrifying combat power. Yunzhi and Inef's command was undoubtedly the strongest in Teyvat at the moment. As a result, the entire Nata became a terrifying meat grinder. A large number of abyssal monsters, even those that had just emerged from the abyssal gate, were quickly blocked by lightning arrows or magic circles that flew in from nowhere before they could even roar a few steps. Then came a barrage of spells and attacks.

A few legendary and god-level monsters can indeed keep attacking despite the immense power, but they will soon be overtaken by the legendary powerhouses.

Yunxiu continued to cast spells through the portal opened by the True Lord of the Moon-Shaping Sun. His magical skill was already among the best in Teyvat. With his ability to cast spells in ascending rings and his enormous energy level, even after casting hundreds of spells, he was still full of energy and even managed to cast a few large-area healing spells.

But the battle between Mavica and Ying on the other side made him somewhat uneasy.

He could sense that he had already used up several spells from his emergency kit. Although he hadn't used his trump card yet, it was clear that this battle against Gustot would not be easy.

"It seems that Gustott has acquired some additional peculiar abilities, most likely with a stronger explosive force than previously predicted, and perhaps also a strange corrosive effect?" Yunxiu could sense that Gustott had used Invincibility and Advanced Restoration, which indicated that Gustott's attack power was likely even more terrifying, and at the same time, it had applied an extremely terrifying corrosive effect on the battlefield. She had prepared four Advanced Restoration spells, and had only used one so far, which seemed to be mainly due to Abyss Corruption.

Because Luminous isn't particularly afraid of the Abyss's corruption, but Mavika is different.

"The automatic counterattack spell has been used... It seems there are still ordinary monsters involved."

With no time to think about anything else, a new spatial portal opened quickly. Yunxiu watched as a group of newly ascended legendary monsters rushed towards her, and instantly unleashed two [Meteor Fusion] attacks. The immense energy sent the monsters reeling, and then two streaks of red and cyan light shot into the enemy ranks, swiftly reaping all the monsters.

Diluc and Jean, two junior members of the Knights of Favonius, have now also advanced to the legendary level. After their training in the Dead Zone, they not only stabilized their strength but also greatly improved their combat power.

Diluc's two greatswords have clearly been enhanced, and in addition to the Windhawk Sword, the Harp also has a unique and colorful sword in her hand, the "Ancient Oath of Freedom" from Mondstadt's "Millennial Symphony"!

The power of the divine sword was brought to its limit in Qin's hands. Any elemental energy poured in stirred up a storm at the tip of the sword, shredding all the surrounding monsters into pieces of flesh and destroying them with the raging wind element. This was a divine sword that was close to the "armor" level!

The two of them easily wiped out all the monsters here, and then in a flash, they rushed to the next battlefield.

Soon, a maintenance mech unit arrived at the battlefield, cleaned up all the monster debris, put the materials back into their storage bags, and quickly followed Jean and Diluc.

This is the maintenance mech unit of He Guan. After the last battle, it has been expanded again and now has more than seventy mechs in service. This time, one-third of them were transferred by Yun Zhi and led by Chong Yun. Their mission is to constantly patrol on the tanks, clean up the battlefield, collect materials, and maintain equipment such as the return mechs.

Later production models were made partly to save costs and partly because they didn't need to fight, so they only had two simple rune swords, which were fine for dealing with ordinary monsters, but not for head-on combat.

The good news is that the cost is indeed not high, at least much cheaper than training a specialist in this field. The maintenance is also simple; two mech masters can be responsible for the maintenance of dozens of mechs. This time, only the mech unit came, and Xinoning was responsible for maintaining these repair mechs, which was a very casual matter for her.

"High-energy reaction detected. All powerful individuals, except those unable to leave, are to converge on the line between the Smoke Mystery Master and the Flower Feather Society!"

Yun Zhi's voice suddenly rang out throughout the hall. Yun Xiu looked up in surprise and saw an unprecedentedly large hole in the sky above the line between the Smoke Mystery Master and the Flower Feather Society.

An extremely malevolent aura emanated from there, and there was a pair of eyes staring intently at the battlefield below. The red light in the eyes grew increasingly eerie, and a faint fluctuation emanated from there, causing everyone present to suffer a subtle mental attack.

This might just be the legendary monster, the "Zataos" that shares the same name as Bushgalo and Gustot!

This refers to the one that Nico mentioned before, who was likely to arrive but ultimately did not come to the battlefield.

Without hesitation, Yunxiu immediately took out the Dudu communicator and transmitted a stream of energy. Alice had originally said she would try to see him before the battlefield, but since she didn't come, she must have been preparing for this moment!

Dudu Ke—Dudu Ke—

Soon, Alice's voice came from the other side.

"Yunxiu, I know your situation. Things are really bad here too. I'm sorry I didn't get there in time." Alice's voice was hurried, as if she was also dealing with a large number of monsters. She continued calmly, "But this big monster isn't the one you're thinking of. We're holding it back. It's just an avatar!"

As if anticipating Yunxiu's question, Alice calmly added, "Have that old deer, Xiaoyue, find a way to open a point in the space, and then you throw a space bomb in with all your might. Oh, and take this with you!"

Suddenly, a spatial portal opened beside Yunxiu, and a giant Dudu bomb rolled out. It looked a lot like Klee's, but it was clearly not a product of the same level.

"Ms. Alice, will this really be useful?" Yunxiu stared wide-eyed at the thing, even finding it somewhat cute. "What should we do next if it doesn't work?"

"It will definitely be useful. Oh dear, this is what I prepared for blasting so many mountains in Mondstadt flat. The monsters on my side are catching up again. You guys hurry up!" Alice hung up the Dodo communicator. It seems that she wasn't as nonchalant as she appeared.

Yunxiu looked at the huge bomb without thinking too much. He had used many of Alice's things, and most of them were quite reliable. Even his storage bag was developed based on the Swallow Bag. Without Alice's ideas, he would not have been able to create these things. He gently lifted the bomb, and the teleportation portal of True Monarch Xiaoyue Zhuyang opened at just the right moment.

This time, of course, she couldn't just throw spells. Yunxiu took a step forward and quickly arrived at Xiaoyue's side with explosive speed.

After hearing Alice's suggestion, the old man hesitated for only a few seconds before quickly casting a spell to open a door for Yunxiu that led directly to the core of the cave.

Meanwhile, a series of dazzling lights flashed around Yunxiu's body as he unleashed a multitude of spells and status effects in an instant!

"You have used the Unrestricted Talisman; all your dice scores are now uniformly 20!"

"You used Spellbreaker Strike! This time, all your spells ignore all of the opponent's resistances!"

"You have used the 'Return of All Laws' spell; the spell's effect has been forcibly increased to level 13!"

"You used Dao Fruit II, this spell's damage has been increased by an additional 580%!"

"You have infused 1000 million fire elemental damage, this damage is increased by 400000%!"

A terrifying "singularity" emerged from Yunxiu's hand. According to theoretical figures, this attack would deal over a hundred billion damage!

Of course, this is impossible. The damage reduction and special resistance of a god-level character are enough to offset most of the damage. Yunxiu's spell effects will also face suppression from the grid level. The actual effect will be good if it can deal a few hundred million damage. Against a legendary peak character, this is still a pretty good combat power, but against this demon god, it may not be enough.

But that's not the biggest problem. The biggest problem now is that Yunxiu, who just condensed this terrifying singularity, has discovered that he has no control over it at all!

The power of the legendary spell was too terrifying. Unlike the simple Tear of the Ruins, which was relatively easy to control even when stacked, the terrifying power floated in Yunxiu's hand. His expression became difficult. Even the immortals who were narrating did not dare to approach. This huge spell had the ability to destroy everyone!

"The will of Heaven is fickle, like white clouds turning into grey dogs..." A gentle voice rang in Yunxiu's ear, gently supporting his wrist. Streams of energy swirled around his body, raising his control over magic by several levels. The voice said earnestly, "Throw it out, aim at that key point."

Yunxiu didn't turn around. He was too preoccupied to see who was behind him. In an instant, he threw the huge entropy annihilation singularity in his hand at those eyes!

Chapter 374 The Ancient Kingdom's Past Unfolds Like Thunder

The enormous "singularity" was thrown directly into the passage, and a terrifying energy exploded within it, blasting the eyes to the point of losing their focus.

"Now's the perfect time!" The voice gently tapped Yunxiu's shoulder. Without hesitation, he immediately took out the Dudu Big Bomb and tossed it to Falga, who was watching nearby. Falga caught the Dudu Big Bomb without hesitation, and his expression only showed a slight surprise for a few seconds before returning to normal.

He patted the bomb casing, took a few quick steps, and threw the bomb directly into the hole!

Before the power of the entropy annihilation singularity had dissipated, this terrifying power exploded again. The power of this bomb was at least ten times greater than Yunxiu's full-force spell. A violent energy storm even surged out of the cave entrance, making everyone present unsteady on their feet.

The eye inside the hole gave Xiao Fang a deep look, then the hole closed, as if it too had suffered a great wound, and left the battlefield.

"Hahahaha, this is what Alice's stuff is like. I saw her throw this in the Dead Zone before, and it directly killed two god-level monsters!" Falga laughed heartily. He had a good relationship with the Witch Society, especially with Alice and Barbielos. It was precisely for this reason that Yunxiu felt at ease letting him throw this bomb.

"Everyone, return to the battlefield! Return to the battlefield!"

Yun Zhi's voice echoed throughout the battlefield. The powerful figures exchanged glances and quickly returned to their own battlefields, leaving only Yun Xiu and the white-haired woman who had suddenly appeared.

"Shall we... go downstairs to talk?" Yunxiu had never seen this woman before, but judging from her appearance, she looked a lot like the "White Horse Immortal" who appeared when the Bronze Sparrow was resurrected. However, there were obvious differences; at least, the color of her eyes was different. But since she had helped him, she shouldn't be a bad person, right? Seeing that the woman didn't react much, he continued, "It's dangerous here after all. We can talk slowly when we get to the Holy Flame Arena."

"I am the 'White Horse Immortal' that the Emperor spoke of. You should have already heard him mention me. My name is Zi Qiao." Zi Qiao gracefully extended his arm to Yun Xiu, smiling as he said, "Although it's somewhat similar to our meeting seven thousand years ago, the roles are reversed now. I am one of the Three Corpse Gods, and you are the true form, right?"

Seven thousand years ago... was that the time when his third descendant, Yunxiu, descended?

That should be his own "corruption," which hasn't appeared yet at this point in time... However, this Zi Qiao is also one of the incarnations created by Zi Bai.

Although she didn't know if it was right or wrong, Yunxiu gently took Ziqiao's hand and they returned to the Holy Fire Arena together. With Zataos defeated, the war had basically entered a period of stability. Yunxiu and the God of Fire had made preparations for more than half a year and had basically plugged all the loopholes.

Now all we need to do is wait for Luminous and Mavica to defeat Gusto in the Kingdom of Night, and then we can be resurrected and return to the end.

Ziqiao's arrival... was naturally to tell Yunxiu some stories about her mother and that era.

Taking out the tea leaves Xiangling had prepared from her storage pouch, Yunxiu brewed a cup of Shenyu Valley's immortal tea for Ziqiao and handed it to her. Seeing the white-horse immortal's amused expression, Yunxiu spoke quite seriously, "If I'm not mistaken, the Emperor shouldn't be talking to you about something that happened at this time..."

"Isn't it fun to appear at this time?" Zi Qiao took a sip of tea before saying quite seriously, "If it hadn't appeared at this time, how would I have been able to see these interesting things? And some of the things you didn't finish back then have now appeared in this world. It's really interesting."

"Back then... I didn't finish it?"

"Yes, the spell system! Aren't these mage legions exactly what you've always wanted to create?"

"I really don't know about that, but the reason it wasn't finished back then was probably because the Sky Island system was unlikely to amount to anything... Let's get down to business." Yunxiu wasn't in the mood to dwell on these things anymore. Since the Night Watchers War was nearing its end, finding out what happened to her mother and what had transpired back then was crucial: "The Emperor probably wants you to tell me quite a bit, like about my mother..."

"Your mother... the Emperor should have told you, she was indeed the one who searched for the Langya Palace back then!" The Emperor touched the rim of his teacup, looked at Yunxiu seriously, and continued, "Although we don't know the reason, perhaps it's what humans call 'mutation,' her bloodline is in no way inferior to that of the High Priest of that time."

"You must have seen the high priests of the Frostmoon Children, right? They all have huge horns on their heads, which is one of the proofs of their bloodline. Although your mother didn't have such exaggerated features, her body also underwent many abnormal changes, such as her talent. Her super strong elemental perception ability caused her to be constantly polluted by violent elemental energy. In that era without a magic cultivation system, it would have been almost impossible for her to survive."

"Your father, the Emperor, and the immortals all tried to suppress her energy, but to no avail. In the end, she did not live past the age of twenty-four. At the last moment, Ishtar revealed his hand and, just like with my original body, trapped her in that infinitely stretched space-time."

Seeing Yunxiu's expression, Ziqiao seemed to have read her mind and continued:

"Don't think about whether you can release her to cultivate immediately... Elemental energy has already corrupted her soul. Even if you use your resurrection spell to bring her back to life, it's impossible to make an infant start cultivating magic and then cleanse the energy pollution in her body."

Yunxiu fell silent. This was indeed a situation he didn't know how to handle. This extraordinary elemental perception was theoretically a powerful tool for cultivating magic, but the problem was that pure elemental energy was difficult to control. He couldn't easily manipulate the elements within the body, and his abilities were severely limited.

As a result, endless energy accumulated in her body but could not be used. By the time Yunxiu developed the magic system, it was too late.

Now that they're released, there's no time for them to cultivate, and with their souls corrupted, rebirth is impossible...

No... No wonder I couldn't cultivate elemental energy since I was a child, and no wonder the Emperor suppressed it when I was born. Yunxiu also understood why her Myriad Laws Secret Record was stuck at 99.99% and wouldn't move. This was not a coincidence, but intentional!

This is the Emperor's seal! The reason he was able to find me so accurately at that moment is because he knew that only at this time could I truly begin to cultivate. Besides delivering the Hundred Taboos Talisman, he also came to see me to check if I would have any problems cultivating after the seal was broken!

"You understand?" Zi Qiao picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp, then laughed and said, "You also possess extremely strong elemental perception, otherwise why would your advancement be so rapid? It's just that you were sealed by that old man Zhong Li. He only unsealed it when the Fourth Descendant awakened and could take the blame for his son. What a kind old father."

Emperor...

The sudden influx of information left Yunxiu speechless for a moment. If this was the Emperor's way of doing things, then she could completely understand why the Emperor had bestowed such a great favor upon her on their first meeting.

If I'm not mistaken, the emperors from 500 years ago and 6400 years ago must have seen me back then, and then deliberately waited for me to appear. The earliest version of myself must have had something to say to the emperor on Mount Aozang. Although the emperor told me about this conversation, he didn't tell me what they said.

However, judging from the Emperor's behavior and the current situation, Yunxiu has a bold guess.

Perhaps it was because he had the Emperor save Zibai and several angels, and then handed over some of his magic to the Emperor, allowing him to establish the immortal system.

If that's the case, then the deal and series of entanglements between myself and this old man might have been established eight thousand years ago, when the Emperor was still a sorcerer. But back then, which version of myself was I?

Judging from the timeline, it's very likely that this was indeed the first time the Third Descendant descended upon this world, encountering the ancient Nibelungen, before descending once more...

"I think I know what the Emperor wanted that coin for seven thousand years ago... to control the power of the Celestial Stars!" Yunxiu suddenly understood, connecting everything. He looked at Ziqiao and said, "You were one of the first people to know the Emperor, so you should also know the story of the 'Celestial Star Lord' back then?"

"Very clever. No wonder the old man said you're one of the wisest people in all of Teyvat." Zz'Qiao smiled, then said quite casually, "Since things have come to this point, why don't you take a guess...?"

"You're not going to tell me that Langya Muqi is a cunning and ruthless man, a treacherous and cunning person, a treacherous and ruthless ...

"You guessed right! Too bad there's no prize, but there are some differences. There's no Ishtar, just you, me, and that old man." Ziqiao looked at Yunxiu and uttered a terrifying message, word by word, enough to silence everyone:

"If I were to say, 'Langyan, qiao, mu, pian, huan, qu, kan, zuo, yi, xia, shun, gou, zhui, nai, shao, yi, yu, jiao, du, shao, yu, cai, qie, shuo, wu, wu, jun,' I would say, 'Langyan, qiao, yu, jiao, du, shao, yu, jue, yu, shuo, wu, wu, jun,'"
