I'm in the Teyvat running group

Even when the four divine artifacts are truly united, Yunxiu believes that Yueji will still be the same Yueji.

"Hehe, look at this thing I just found in the junkyard! It's really fun (^o^)/~" Yueji handed Yunxiu a strange little model, which was made from a bunch of scrap parts and turned into a peculiar robot shape. It looked a bit like the robot monster that recently appeared in "Yunxiu Zhenren's Demon-Slaying Chronicles", but according to the setting, that monster was actually a variant of their mecha...

"I didn't expect you to have this talent. You can sign comic books and novels, plus models. You could say you've got everything." Yunxiu smiled and took the little robot. It was indeed a very well-made machine. The only problem was that the color was a bit dull. He smiled and conjured a spell in his hand: "Then I'll color it."

Soon, a small robot, painted and assembled by Yunxiu, appeared in front of the two of them, and it truly had the air of a grand master.

"This thing is worth at least several million Mora. It was created by the most beautiful girl in Inazuma and the most powerful mage in Teyvat together Σ(⊙▽⊙"a!" Tsukihime carefully took out a box, put the robot in it, and stuffed it into her backpack.

"That's true, but are you going to sell it?"

"I'm not selling it, I was just saying!"

Chapter 408 Explosive Flames Break Through the Ground and Open the Mysterious Gate

Judging from your greedy attitude, you seem to be planning to store it away and wait for the price to go up...

Yunxiu shook her head. But Yueji has always been like this. If she doesn't do these things, is she still Yueji?

Not to mention, if she were always full of bitterness and resentment, Yunxiu would definitely not like her, let alone help her find four divine artifacts. Isn't that a thankless task?

After pulling Tsukihime back to the egg roll workshop's room, they cooked a meal for everyone and then rested there. Although the place looked quite peculiar, it was actually quite large, especially in terms of accommodation. While it was true that Aino was a genius mechanic at the egg roll workshop, just like any big shot, she naturally had a lot of research staff under her.

There were already quite a few places to live, and now that these people have left Nordkalai one by one as they evacuated, these places are naturally perfect for Yunxiu and the others to live in.

A few spells easily cleared several rooms, and they all rested. Although Columbia didn't need to rest, meditation was a way for her to stabilize her lunar power. However, she didn't plan to sleep in the room. She wanted to go to the cannon at the very top of the egg roll workshop, and even dragged Nico up with her. I wonder what the two of them will say.

It couldn't possibly be something trivial, could it?

But Yunxiu wasn't interested, so she slept with Yueji anyway.

The next morning, before the two were even fully awake, they heard strange crackling sounds outside, including cute children's voices and the sound of bombs, which made Yunxiu's eyelids twitch.

"Ah... (~O~), who's making that sound outside?" Moon Princess, still half-asleep, looked up and asked Cloud Xiu, "I think I heard a bomb going off. Has the war in Nordkalai started?"

"I think this matter might not be as simple as you think... Let's get up and go take a look." With a few casual spells, Yunxiu changed his clothes into a mage's robe that he usually wore, and instantly cleaned himself up. However, Yueji refused Yunxiu's spells and decided to brush her teeth and get dressed herself.

He didn't care and quickly walked to the entrance of the egg roll workshop. Sure enough, he saw two blond figures, one big and one small, in red clothes running around, throwing bombs all over the ground, making the ground look like it had been hit by a meteor shower.

"Mommy! This popping bomb is powerful enough! We can start making more for the brothers and sisters of the Mondstadt Expedition!" The little girl excitedly held up a large bomb and said to her mother, "And Klee discovered that these bombs can be strung together, making them even more powerful!"

"Wow, Klee's amazing! Let's go with the Popcorn Bomb then." Alice clapped her hands, quite pleased with herself, and took the giant bomb. With a flick of her finger, an identical giant bomb appeared in her hand. "Hmm, the cost is really low. Even using a wish spell to create it isn't that difficult. Klee is truly remarkable!"

amount……

It's really a dilemma whether to say it or not, because Klee and Alice are indeed doing something important!

This bomb was specifically requested by Mondstadt's army, and it was just one of many. Klee developed a number of bombs and magical contraptions for Mondstadt to use. Jean even helped her open a shop in the Spirit Realm, which sold a lot to other countries in Teyvat and adventurers. Jean managed the income and hired a professional to manage the finances, which made Klee one of the wealthiest women.

Although her monthly allowance is only a few hundred moles, it's more than enough for a little girl to buy candy and snacks.

But bombing this place... well, the egg roll workshop has already started demolishing, and this place will soon be abandoned. The cannons and energy components on it will be preserved and adjusted. Bombing it around now is actually making use of its last bit of value...

“Ms. Alice, while I don’t mind, I think it should still be everyone’s rest time…” Yunxiu thought for a moment and decided to clarify things first. As for what would happen next, that was beyond his current consideration: “Besides, Keli is still so young, it’s not really appropriate for her to be looking for a place here at this time…”

"It's alright, I'll definitely protect Klee." Alice smiled at Yunxiu and said, "But I still need to talk to you about something else today, so I brought Klee along. It's very important!"

"Okay... let's find somewhere to talk. What about Klee?"

“Leave Miss Klee to me.” Ineff appeared out of nowhere, holding a plate of omelets and handing it to Klee. “This is Aino’s favorite flavor. I’m sure Klee will like it too.”

"Wow, Ineff's omelets!" It seems that Klee doesn't just like them, she really likes them. She quickly picked up a spoon and fork and carefully started eating. Before eating, she even used her water magic to make a water ball and carefully washed her hands and face.

It must be said that Alice's parenting skills are indeed quite good. Klee may be a mischievous child, but her manners are very high...

Although it was unclear when the group had started contacting each other, Ineff had indeed taken on the responsibility of caring for Klee, and her performance was quite good. Yunxiu and Alice then went to a relatively quiet place.

Looking at the situation on the ground with a headache, Yunxiu casually slammed down a few elemental arrows to level the ground, and then directly cast two high-level repair spells to create a table and chairs. She took out the tea and snacks that Xiangling had prepared for her from her storage bag before inviting Alice to sit down.

“I feel that your understanding and use of magic is no less than mine. You truly deserve to be called the strongest mage of this generation in Teyvat.” Alice touched her face, picked up a cup of red tea and smiled. “Especially your application of transformation and restoration spells, you are indeed no worse than that old woman Nico and Barbie.”

“Ms. Alice, I think... you should be able to do these things easily too, right?” Yunxiu spread his hands helplessly, pointed with one hand, and poured some boiling water into the bowl he had prepared. This was also the breakfast that Xiangling had prepared for him in advance. After being quickly dehydrated, it was preserved by spatial magic, and it could maintain more than 90% of its original taste.

To be honest, this method is extremely extravagant. The breakfast that Xiangling sells only costs 10 Mora at Wanmintang, and it even comes with soy milk and eggs. However, the cost of Yunxiu's spatial magic solidification is definitely more than 10,000 Mora. But this is something that money can't buy, I'm happy to do it...

At least for him, he could accept not eating Xiangling's cooking for a day or two, but if it went on for more than a week, he would feel resentful. Moreover, this level of spatial magic was only at the fifth ring level, and the materials were of a quality that he could easily obtain in the thousands with a wave of his hand.

When he first went out, he brought a lot of compressed dry food that Xiangling had given him, and he has been used to eating like that ever since.

"Mmm...it smells delicious, can I have some?"

With a gentle tap, Yunxiu quickly prepared a portion for Alice as well.

"Alright, it seems I can't just eat your food for nothing." Alice, having eaten and drunk her fill, looked at Yunxiu with considerable satisfaction and said, "My husband sent me a message a few days ago, telling me that you once told him that at a special time, he needed to send a key person back to Teyvat. This was an agreement between you and him. So he's telling me that now that 'special time' is approaching, is that agreement still valid?"

"Your husband? Sent back to Teyvat?" Yunxiu was momentarily confused, but he quickly realized what he meant and replied seriously, "You mean, the archangel Taranis, who was sent out of Teyvat in ancient times, originally from the ancient civilization of Mondstadt and Arcadia! He is indeed the wife of my avatar..."

"Yes, she and you have a daughter named Serania, whom you should have already met."

"Yes...when?"

"Hmm... Kleiner told me that he would help you send Taranis back in seven days."

Seven days later? When I return from exploring the ruins of Hyperion?

Yunxiu quickly considered the matter in her mind. When Long Yunxiu left, he told her that if she protected Serania, she would know everything. At that time, Serania was still a child. After the War of the Dead ended, either she or the third Adventist body that possessed her was made into the Heart of God. Next was Long Yunxiu's slumber and Taranis being sent out of Teyvat.

Speaking of which, it turns out that Alice's husband is named Kleiner. That's quite an interesting piece of information. Since he has the ability to travel through the universe and even help her with some things, could it be that they are quite familiar with each other?

Wait a minute, if he's familiar with the Third Descendant and has such powerful abilities...

“If I remember correctly, the Third Descendant was made into the Heart of God, created by Fanes and another being together…” Yunxiu raised her head and looked at Alice seriously, “Ms. Alice, if I’m not mistaken, the being who was able to sign a contract with Fanes and create the Heart of God should be Kleiner, right?”

"And the reason you signed the contract with Tenri to protect the border, and the reason you were able to openly establish the Witches' Guild in Teyvat, is also partly due to your husband's efforts?"

"Oh dear, as expected, we can't give you any information about a mage like you. You guessed so much from just a name. You're quite a clever child." Alice took a sip of her black tea and looked at Yunxiu with amusement. "But you are also our friend, it's just that you haven't experienced that era yet."

Yunxiu shook her head. This wasn't a question of whether she had experienced it or not; it was a rather troublesome matter because not only had she not experienced it, but one thing she was certain of was that...

The things his three-corpse clones did back then must have left information for him, but some of this information must have been intercepted by some being.

Moreover, the methods used were extremely secretive. Even Zhongli may not have obtained all the information, or he may have been restricted. Otherwise, he would not still be unaware of Kleiner's situation!

Yunxiu's eyes suddenly lifted, looking at the island floating in the sky.

Is that you, Faenes?

Chapter 409 Past Events Like Smoke and Clouds

But soon, Yunxiu dismissed the idea. It wasn't that Fanes didn't have the idea, but rather that he probably didn't have the ability to do so.

This isn't Yunxiu boasting. While the abilities of the Descendants aren't exactly the same, one thing is certain: their status is identical because they all carry the laws of the entire world. As long as it's a complete set of laws of a world, it's unlikely they would do something like this, especially concealing information, because it's simply impossible.

Just like in the original storyline, Fanes didn't have a firm grasp on Luminosity's information either; Luminosity still knew everything she needed to know, although she was indeed no match for Luminosity in terms of physical strength.

“Ms. Alice, if I’m not mistaken, this ‘time is approaching’ isn’t a specific time, but rather a time for ‘time activation’, right?” Yunxiu smiled at Alice and asked, “Your husband may not have made this clear to you. Do you have a way to contact him now?”

“Huh? Kleiner didn’t tell me any of this…” Alice looked at Yunxiu with some surprise, something she hadn’t expected: “Kleiner said that you would understand once he told you… I’ll try to contact him.”

Alice pulled out a strange communicator, somewhat like the Dudu communicator, but with some differences. It was engraved with layers of peculiar runes. Yunxiu could tell that these were powerful spatial spell runes, stacked at least dozens of times, and even included spell runes related to fate and causality. In terms of manufacturing difficulty alone, it should be a super spell construct of the twelfth ring or higher... a conceptual twelfth ring.

Seeing Yunxiu's surprised look, Alice smiled and said, "This is the prototype of the Duducom communicator. Everything else is simplified from here. This is a creation that can communicate across interstellar distances."

Yunxiu nodded without any surprise. Interstellar communication was indeed not a simple matter. Spells like "plane communication" in D&D were alright, but once you got to "interplane communication," the difficulty increased dramatically.

This principle is not difficult to understand. Although everyone boasts about how big the scale is, the so-called "do whatever you want, as big as you want".

However, according to the official setting, most "planes" in D&D are actually only the size of a planet. Even the larger ones are generally only the size of a star system. For example, the familiar continent of Faerûn is actually smaller than the Asian continent.

The setting is a continent about 6000 kilometers long and 4000 kilometers wide. The influence of most legendary powerhouses is limited to a single planet, while weak gods have only a few planets or even just one. It is extremely difficult for a legendary being to destroy a planet. Therefore, the plane is not actually that big, and the difficulty of communication within the plane is not much different from that within the solar system.

Interdimensional communication is roughly equivalent to communication between star systems; legendary spells are standard, and as for galaxy-level communication...

It probably requires spells of the twelfth ring or higher to achieve this. Reaching this level usually requires a god-level being, or at least a medium-level divine power. So this thing must indeed be an extremely powerful artifact.

A surge of energy flowed into Alice's body, and the communicator kept running. After a series of flashes of light, the connection was successfully established, and a voice rang out from the other end.

"Honey, is something urgent? I told Claire stories for a long time last night, and I just woke up..."

“It’s like this…” Alice quickly explained the situation, then added at the end, “You didn’t explain it clearly to me, so I don’t know how to explain it to Yunxiu…”

"Ahahaha... I'm sorry, I forgot about that. Yunxiu should be right next to me. I am Kleiner. Alice should have already told you. My answer is that you are indeed right. The answer you gave me was to send Taranis back just before you learned the truth, before you returned in March."

"I see. If I'm not mistaken, Taranis is currently in a state of slumber, right?" Yunxiu was not surprised at all by Kleiner's statement. He had roughly figured out what was going on. If he was not mistaken, the one hiding this information was the "First Angel," namely the Morning Star Angel Koitar, and the method was most likely taught to him by himself.

"Yes, when you handed her over to me, she was already sealed away. For all these years, I've kept her in a special safe at a transit station near Teyvat. But don't worry, you've already paid for it."

"Paid? It seems our relationship back then wasn't so simple." Yunxiu smiled. This didn't surprise him at all. Or rather, having some connection with this legendary, elusive adventurer who wandered beyond the world was the most normal thing he did back then. But soon, he thought of something more crucial: "If I'm not mistaken, there are still many things that we need to discuss in person... It's not convenient now, is it? But when you come back, perhaps we can find a way to meet."

"I'm sorry... Yunxiu, I understand what you mean, but it's not the right time yet, at least not the time you're talking about. I mean, we'll meet. I'll hand over your wife's protective pod to Alice. We're not ready to meet yet. But I can tell you one thing for sure: our relationship is definitely not that simple."

"Moreover, Teyvat, just as you said back then, has many secrets and many stories, and of course, many powerful beings. It is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and there are even many treacherous aspects to it. But what you have done has always been right, and that is what I admire most about you."

"Many things are a future that hasn't happened yet for you right now, but for me and Alice, they are a past that has already happened. Although it may seem like there is no difference in Teyvat, I can say for sure that it is because of those past events that we have our future. And it is because of your existence that many people have a past to speak of. I think you understand what I mean."

“Thank you, Kleiner.” Although the other end of the communicator probably couldn’t see her, Yunxiu still smiled and nodded, then continued, “If that’s the case, I roughly understand what’s going on with the information and Taranis. If I’m not mistaken, the key to this node isn’t actually who sent her back, but the process of creating the information itself. The reason I don’t know this information is very simple: at least at this moment in Teyvat, the information hasn’t been created yet.”

"A remarkable judgment. Truly worthy of being the most powerful mage in Teyvat's history. Well then, I believe you'll soon figure out the 'birth process' of all this. We'll meet again someday, and have a couple of drinks next time!"

After she finished speaking, the runes on the communicator quickly dimmed, and Alice let out a long sigh of relief, putting away the Dudu communicator. Even for a legendary peak witch like her, this kind of intergalactic communication was extremely painful, although in terms of pure energy and power she was stronger than Yunxiu at the moment.

"It's a rare morning, but it's already been so tiring... You really are a handful." Alice touched her face and said with a hint of worry, "The abyssal power in Nordkalai has been fluctuating frequently lately, which is already very troublesome for me as a guardian, and now this has taken so much effort."

“Ms. Alice, if I succeed this time, perhaps I can help you solve part of the problem of border stability.” Yunxiu smiled and pointed to the sky, then continued, “If nothing unexpected happens, I think this should be the last time we have such a big problem with the False Heaven. We will soon resolve many issues.”

"If that's really the case, that would be wonderful..." Alice stretched and stood up, then quickly drifted away to who-knows-where: "See you next time, maybe there will be some other good news next time!"

Iris naturally took Klee with her, and what had just happened made Yunxiu finally understand one thing: the schemes she had made back then were indeed more extensive than she had imagined. Moreover, the simultaneous actions of several corpses to lay out the plan, some of which were even outside of Teyvat, formed a huge causal network. It was highly likely that Iris, Kleiner, and even one of her own corpses only possessed a portion of the information.

Because some things haven't happened yet, some things have happened but are likely hidden in the layers of time and space, and some things, once they happen, may be quickly covered up by fate.

All of these things combined form a vast network, which is the root cause of the current perplexing situation in Teyvat. The only thing he can be sure of is that the worst outcome would be to succeed Fanes as the king of the Sky Isle, just like the famous opening proverb of that game.

"Even though the guidance has been broken, please ascend to the throne of Teyvat..."

Yunxiu casually made a self-deprecating remark, which truly reflected his current mood.

With a casual wave of her hand, the ground returned to flat land, and with a few quick, elusive steps, Yunxiu swiftly teleported to the entrance of the egg roll workshop.

Nico and Columbia had prepared the final part, and Arecino arrived at this time. She had indeed reached the peak of the legendary level. Although she was still unstable at the beginning, one thing was certain: Arecino, as one of the descendants of the Crimson Moon, was undoubtedly powerful.

After exchanging information briefly, the five of them quickly arrived near the Moon Sanctuary on Xixi Island. A little further ahead was the place where the gate to the Golden City Ruins would be opened.

"This is it. The Moon Goddess and I will open it, and the three of you can go in directly. Remember to try not to interact too much with the Hypopolians after you enter. The ruins here are actually just the echoes of the old era in the present era, and they don't really have any real meaning. If you do trigger the doubts of the phantoms, you may enter the cracks of history. However, most of them will correct their image of you in their minds, so there shouldn't be too much of a problem."
