I'm in the Teyvat running group

"I will definitely come back safely."

"Okay... Make sure you come back safely! I still want to eat your egg rolls!"

Both master and servant were extremely careful at this time, trying their best not to touch each other's wounds. This is also why Yunxiu liked this pair of characters so much in the original work.

As for where to go, of course, we'll arrange for her to go to Wanmin Hall first. At least Aino is a really good child, and Yunxiu won't feel too much pressure if she leaves her under Xiangling's care for a while.

“Now, we can talk about how to enter that country. I’ve thought about it carefully for a long time, and the best conclusion is to find Nico and a few local people who can use the lunar distance force.” Yunxiu smiled and looked around before saying something completely nonsensical to the void: “For example, right now, if you’re serious, you can actually see which one has a penchant for watching humans.”

"Huh? You found out already!"

A figure emerged from the corner, clutching a strange magical artifact tightly in his arms, and looked at Yunxiu with great confusion.

"I have some bad news and some good news to tell you at the same time. Which one would you like to hear?"

"I always peel off the cilantro I don't like before eating..."

Chapter 406 The Frosty Moon Pact: Goddess's Tears

"I don't like eating this either, but this news is probably not that simple. The good news is that we can indeed enter the ruins of Hyperion, although we need a few people who can withstand the power of the three months, but you should be able to do it. The bad news is that, based on my observation of the environment, we also need a powerful archmage with time magic to stabilize spacetime."

"Is it because of the power of the abyss that the spacetime of the entire Nordkalai is so unstable now?" Yunxiu had already sensed that the spacetime here was extremely unstable, and even with his abilities, he probably wouldn't be able to teleport here.

"Not entirely. However, there aren't many people in Teyvat who practice this kind of magic. It's best if they are also proficient in causal magic. I can do that, but without me, this gate can't actually be opened unless you can find someone who can open it. Perhaps the Moon Goddess can do it. This place is also considered half of her divine kingdom."

"Okay, I knew your main goal was to contact Colombia. Looks like this is good news, right?"

"No, the good news is that I can confirm that the second half of the book is indeed with the Treasure Stone. If nothing unexpected happens, this Tsukihime may be able to collect all four sacred treasures very soon."

Yunxiu shook her head. This was indeed quite good news, but it was something she had already expected, so it wasn't surprising at all.

In terms of pure strength, Tsukihime is now firmly in the top tier of Legendary characters, and her strength is basically on par with most peak Legendary characters, although she is still not as good as characters like Tsukihime or Hibari, who have far exceeded their limits.

As we mentioned before, the strength of Teyvat is such that being able to fight, having the skill to train, and having a certain rank are two completely different things...

Yunxiu had rarely seen anyone with such a high rank, strong fighting ability, and profound cultivation, because cultivation level does not necessarily translate into combat power, and combat power is not equal to rank. This is the awkward thing about Teyvat.

However, for gods who have acquired power, this is entirely different.

Power itself can offset a large part of "combat power" because power is actually an external manifestation of a rule. It's just that the rule is too powerful, so it manifests as power. And the gods who have mastered these all have some trump cards.

Columbia possesses the power of the moon. If she can gather the power of the three moons, she can basically be regarded as a mini-Fanes. Although she is not as strong as Fanes and her status is not as high as Fanes, she is basically on the same level as the Four Shadows. Although the Moon Goddess may not fight and therefore not be strong, she will definitely enter the same level.

"I'll go find Columbia. Leave Aino to me. Tsukihime will train with Nico and get used to the lunar distance power here. Ineff... well, a lot of people might come here later, so make sure to provide logistical support."

“Okay, I’m leaving Aino in your care.” Ineff nodded gently and quickly packed a small storage bag for Aino and handed it to her: “Make sure you eat as few snacks as possible. I’ll come find you as soon as things are over here.”

"Good luck, Ineff!" Aino carefully guarded the storage bag close to her body before saying, as if giving a reminder, "I also left you some emergency measures, but be sure to use them only when it's absolutely necessary! And remember to move the egg roll workshop away when the time comes!"

"I know, be careful on your journey."

Aino's strength is indeed undeniable, but she is still a child after all. Yunxiu led her all the way to the vicinity of the Frostmoon Children, and then handed her over to Yaoguang Star, which was leading a group of staff to evacuate the Liyue people. She also told Xiangling to prepare a room for Aino, who would stay at Wanmin Hall for the time being. As for where she would live in the future, Aino would most likely move the Egg Roll Workshop here later, and then she could live at her own home.

After bidding farewell to the genius girl, Yunxiu headed south and soon arrived at the territory of the Frost Moon Child.

Compared to the original timeline, perhaps because the Abyss Disaster has decreased and Columbia has been almost always with the Frostmoon Children, the Frostmoon Children's territory has grown considerably, and of course, there are many more people. The priests here have also begun to gradually withdraw, and now only a few high priests, led by Rauma, remain, followed by this Moon Goddess.

She will remain in Nordecale at least until the moon is pulled back, and even after that, she will likely not be able to travel to other countries frequently, as the restrictions imposed on gods are numerous.

However, when Yunxiu arrived at the Frost Moon Child, she discovered that the priests were using their magic to dismantle the moon goddess statue. They were all very careful, as if they were afraid of damaging the statue in the slightest.

"Is this... moving the Moon Goddess Statue as well?" Yunxiu looked at the Moon Goddess Statue, whose base had been almost completely dismantled. This statue was much larger than the one seen in the original timeline, almost a hundred meters tall. The huge statue's arms stretched towards the moon, which was also the form in which Columbia was originally born.

“Yes, we are going to move the statue to Nata’s island. Lord Vulcan has agreed.” Rauma, who was directing the dismantling of the statue, turned around and saw Yunxiu behind her, quite surprised. “Has the day of war already arrived? The Frost Moon Children are calculating the time based on the withdrawal of the last batch of people in August…”

"No, I'm here to find Columbia. I probably still have some things to do, but it's best not to stick to the main point too strictly and try to leave as soon as possible." Yunxiu looked at Rauma and suddenly noticed that her horns seemed to be a little bigger than before. She stared at the horns curiously for a while before saying shyly, "I noticed that they seem to be a bit bigger? Does this change according to the lunar distance force?"

Rauma was quite generous and showed no embarrassment. She smiled and touched her horned crown, then said seriously, "Whether it's the increased activity of the lunar power or the increased strength of the Moon Goddess, the horns on the heads of us Frostmoon Children priests will be slightly larger. However, this is only temporary. The moon has its phases, and it won't always be this big."

“Come on, I’ll take you to where the Moon Goddess is. She should be playing games with the children right now.” Rauma called over another priestess and explained the situation to her before smiling at Yunxiu and saying, “These children will also be removed with the Moon Goddess statue. This is the last batch of children; they are all the priests’ children.”

"I never expected that the priests of the Frostmoon Children could get married."

“Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural course of life. Even we cultivators, who may be able to live forever, cannot escape love, hate, separation, and reunion. So it’s not strange that people fall in love, get married, and have children. Otherwise, how could the Frostmoon Children tribe have expanded?” Rauma led the way while greeting everyone. “In the Frostmoon Children, if a couple gets together, they can pray for the Moon Goddess’s blessing. However, the Moon Goddess may not have time to respond, so this is the highest congratulations we can offer here.”

I didn't expect Columbia to offer this service, but I heard that success isn't guaranteed?

Oh... that makes sense. While success isn't guaranteed, it doesn't mean that if you succeed, I can't guarantee your happiness! Of course, whether you're happy or not is another matter entirely.

The two walked for about twenty minutes and finally found Columbia in front of a house. There were four or five children next to her, and they were indeed playing a game with her. It was a rather interesting board game in Nordekale, and some people here had even incorporated the game into the spirit world, so it was quite popular.

Sensing their arrival, the children quickly said goodbye and left. These were their last few times playing here, as they would soon be evacuating from Nordkale. Moreover, due to the flood control plan, it was highly unlikely that the children would return, at least until they had grown strong enough.

The consequences of the flood discharge plan may not be as severe as those of the Dead Zone, but a large number of monsters will still enter the land of Nordkalai. Even with continuous efforts by armies and legendary experts to exterminate them, it will be impossible to recover in a very long time. Therefore, the people of the Frostmoon Children for the next two or three generations are destined to be unable to return to their homeland.

This is the price of salvation.

"Hmm... it's Yunxiu. I sensed your arrival. Are you here to ask for payment?" Columbia didn't open her eyes, but still turned her face towards Yunxiu and Lauma before continuing, "Lauma is here too. The children told me they are very sad to leave their homeland and asked if I had any solutions. I told them I couldn't help them either. The children are very sad..."

“Lady Moon Goddess, there’s nothing we can do about it… It’s already incredibly difficult to keep the children alive.” Rauma sighed sadly, then continued after a moment, “If the plan hadn’t been prepared and proposed by the Seven Gods in advance, we might not have been able to evacuate properly. In that case, Nordkare would have been in even greater danger with the Wild Hunt raging around.”

“I know, but these things are really heartbreaking.” Columbia quietly stretched out her hand, and a very beautiful little pigeon landed on it. A tear rolled down her cheek as she softly said, “Can these animals be taken away too? I think they also need to leave this land.”

"This……"

"I can figure out a way to do that. After everyone else has evacuated, I can mobilize some strong individuals to assist in the evacuation of the animals," Yunxiu said.

"But now, we have more to do."

Chapter 407 Skillful Hands Dispel the Fog and Open the Path to the Underworld

While the request to take away animals may sound troublesome, in reality, if there are several demiplanes, taking away the insects of Nordkale wouldn't be a problem.

The only problem is that we need enough manpower and demiplanes... but Yunxiu has all of these. We can just send a batch of people over when the time comes. The demiplane merchant guild also has some reserves, which can be handed over to Nordkalai for use first. The only problem is probably how many people will come if Yunxiu offers high rewards.

As for how much land area is needed, that's not a problem at all. Not to mention that Nata really needs these people, since they are short of manpower themselves. Even if they are really short of people, making a few small spaces is not a big deal.

Seeing that Yunxiu had agreed, Columbia's expression softened considerably. Yunxiu could even sense that Columbia had secretly opened her eyes and looked at her. Her pure and flawless eyes were as beautiful as amethyst, definitely one of the most beautiful creations Yunxiu had ever seen. This was probably the most exquisite part of March.

“You really are a good person… It seems choosing you as my ‘lover’ back then was the right decision.” Columbia’s voice was light and airy, as if it didn’t exist in this world at all. She paused slightly before continuing, “Did you come to see me for something? I heard you plan to enter that ancient kingdom, the past of the Golden City.”

“Strictly speaking, you’re not wrong, but in reality, it’s definitely not that simple.” Seeing Columbia’s puzzled expression, Yunxiu added, “The space and time here have become extremely unstable. According to one of our archmages, this is because the erosion of the abyss has begun to gradually corrode the real world, and it will become more and more serious in the next five months.”

"Is it because those two witches are also gradually and deliberately adjusting the thickness of the barrier here?"

“I think that’s part of the reason, but right now we really need you to open the road to that place…”

“Okay, but I probably won’t be able to use much power.” Columbia tilted her little face up and looked at Yunxiu seriously. “I don’t have much power left… I need to prepare to enter the dark side of the moon to collect the power of the three months. I only found out after you told me this.”

"Of course, there's not much for you to do."

The girl nodded and turned to Rauma: "Rauma, just stay here and maintain order. I need to leave for a little while..."

"Moon Goddess, please return safely." Rauma's face showed anxiety and a hint of hesitation about the current situation. She seemed to want to stop Columbia from doing something, but in the end she stopped and said, "I will go and make preparations for the transfer now."

“I will.” She nodded.

Yunxiu then took out a business card and handed it to Lauma. It contained all of Yanfei's contact information, including a secret communication channel that outsiders could not see. This was a rare recognition from Yunxiu.

Since he had already agreed to help Colombia with these things, he would naturally take responsibility for the consequences himself. He couldn't just leave all the work to the Frost Moon Child, could he? That would be too outrageous. He was at ease leaving these matters to Yan Fei. As for whether Yan Fei could issue tasks with her money or simply ask some immortal to take them away, he wouldn't concern himself with that.

Lauma instantly understood Yunxiu's meaning, took the business card, nodded, and all the hesitation on her face disappeared.

Seeing that the two seemed to have resolved the matter, Columbia waved her hand, and a strange array appeared beneath her feet, instantly teleporting the two back to the egg roll workshop.

"You're back? My preparations here are basically complete. If it's the Moon Goddess who opens the door, things will be much easier for me. But would the Moon Goddess like to come in with me? If you're only going in for a short time, I can manage from outside. Of course, if you're going to stay for several days, my abilities won't be able to handle it."

"I won't go in, thank you... You can help me explore the Dark Side of the Moon later." Columbia gently stroked Nico's face before saying seriously, "Just like Nerauma, are you also coming to the Frostmoon Children to be a priest?"

"Ah... sigh! Lady Moon is really unconventional, isn't she? But I'm not cut out for this. I don't have the talent for it. Alice once told me that I'm a witch who can't do anything but write novels. But my memory is much better than Alice's. You know, Alice even forgot to prepare a proper passage for her husband, and the two of them accidentally bumped into each other and fell all over the place. And when Klee bumped into her, her parental authority was completely lost! By the way, do you know Alice's husband? He's... "

"Oh dear, I seem to have said too much again. Let's go do what we need to do."

Nico scratched his head sheepishly before unfolding a map, pointing to a location and looking at everyone present.

"Only those who can bear the power of the Moon can enter here. The power of the Moon itself is a peculiar variant of the power of the Three Moons, which is the power of the Light Realm. Therefore, the power of the Light Realm is the key. So anyone who can bear the power of the Light Realm can enter. The current idea is for Yunxiu, Yueji, and Inef or someone else to go in together. Actually, the best choice would be Ying, but Ying and Alice are said to be exploring the 'Sea of ​​Ashes,' so we can only find another person..."

“If it’s related to the moon, then I’ll have Arecino come over. As a descendant of the Crimson Moon, she should have the same ability.” Yunxiu took out her spiritual terminal and quickly sent a message to Arecino. According to the previous situation, Arecino had been cultivating recently, but it should still be feasible for her to come here to handle some matters, as she was not far from here.

Arecino replied quickly, and Yunxiu breathed a sigh of relief after reading it.

“No problem. Arecino is in Fontainebleau, she can arrive tomorrow. Can we finish preparing here by tomorrow?” Yunxiu looked at Nicole and Columbia, and they both nodded.

"No problem, we can get there quickly from here. The Moon Goddess should be able to teleport there. The only problem might be that the Golden City isn't very appealing to humans now, but that's not a big deal. After all, Hyperion started to become strange in the later stages. In that era, everyone had their own problems and worries, but it seems that this doesn't really matter in any era."

“Nico, it’s quite amusing to talk… It’s a pity you’ve lost the ability to speak.” Columbia gently touched Nico’s lips with her hand, a smile playing on her lips. “If only you could speak someday…”

"Moon Goddess, there's no need to worry. Actually, there are advantages to not being able to speak. For example, you can clearly see, but you chose to close your eyes and use the power of the moon to feel. This is also a way of facing the world. This is the price I pay to be able to walk in this world. The price you paid, Moon Goddess, is not much less than mine."

“You’re really funny… Rauma is getting a bit serious.”

Seeing the two start chatting, Yunxiu didn't bother to join in. Instead, she went around the egg roll workshop looking for Yueji—who had disappeared again.

Ineff was gradually packing up the things in the egg roll workshop, categorizing them into storage bags. Apart from the necessary facilities and energy to maintain the weapons, it was highly likely that most of the things in this egg roll workshop would be dismantled and taken away, and then reassembled near Liyue.

If the flood discharge plan succeeds, it is unlikely that many people in Nordkalai will survive, and even most monsters may not survive. The high-purity abyss is a product that many people cannot understand.

The reason why the Dead Domain is stable is mainly because Long Yunxiu used the Karssden divine magic to steal the authority of Nibelungen. This is essentially a kind of "inertization" of the abyss. Even so, this inert abyss has caused great damage to the Dead Domain. Although it has been struggling to resist for many years, it has not shrunk, but has instead expanded slightly.

Yunxiu is currently unable to use the Karssardian Divine Art even once. The gap between his rank and that of the Nibelungen is too great, and the Seven Gods' decision to defeat or even kill the Nibelungen would make the theft of this authority extremely troublesome.

Moreover... it might not be able to be used a second time. After all, it's a miracle if such a super spell can be used even once, and this is a concept spell at the twelfth ring level.

Although many of the spells Yunxiu currently uses can be upgraded to the thirteenth ring, and even the prayer spell can be forcibly pulled to the fourteenth ring, this only increases the damage, not the concept. From a purely conceptual point of view, his spell development and mastery ability is almost entirely still within the tenth ring range. At most, some spells are slightly more complex and can surpass the tenth ring range, approaching the eleventh ring.

For example, the preparation time for developing the "All Laws Return to Emptiness" spell to kill the villain is one minute, which can be compared to the level of a 10.9 ring spell. If Yunxiu can compress the preparation time to about ten seconds, then it is an eleventh ring spell.

However, the Karthusden spell is a proper twelfth-circle spell, which most people cannot even understand. Yunxiu herself, however, can understand a portion of it.

However, if Yunxiu could simplify the Karthusden Divine Art to a point where only one person needs to prepare, and the cost is calculated by "stealing," then she is still far from being able to do so.

At that level, he could crush a clown with a single finger; even a wise prophet couldn't match his casual strike.

Therefore, it's simply impossible to use it again.

If another corpse is severed, Yunxiu might be able to create a beggar's version, but at most it would only inertize a portion of the Abyss, and then clean and purify it together with Ying. For the entire kingdom, it would only be a drop in the ocean.

As for why Ying went to the Sea of ​​Ashes... Yunxiu guessed that it was a task arranged by the Ruler of Time and the Ruler of Life. Most likely, she was going to find something in the Sea of ​​Ashes. In the original storyline, the monsters of Rhinedoth ruled the Sea of ​​Ashes, giving the place a strange feeling. In this timeline, even though the disaster is smaller, the thing she is looking for is probably still there.

Ying will return when she goes to the Dark Side of the Moon to explore it together. For her, Columbia is naturally also her friend.

Yunxiu wandered around the various peculiar rooms in the egg roll workshop several times, casting a few detection spells before finally finding Yueji playing with peculiar gadgets and having a great time with these junk items in the pile of parts. Seeing her usual good energy, he felt much more at ease.

At least no matter what, this person is still so energetic, isn't he?
