I'm in the Teyvat running group

“Nico means that at least speaking less will solve the problem.” Columbia nodded slightly to the three of them, then two different lunar powers, one blue and one red, appeared in her hands and merged with Nico’s power, quickly opening a door.

Yunxiu and the other two slipped through the gate and entered the ruins.

Watching the three enter the ruins, Columbia turned to Nico and quietly said, "Nico, if I'm not mistaken, there's something you haven't told Yunxiu yet."

"Moon Goddess... how did you tell? I didn't show any emotion. Could it be because I don't talk much? But that shouldn't be the case."

“When you were talking to Yunxiu just now, your little finger kept twitching. That’s a bad habit of yours.” Columbia smiled and continued, “Although I didn’t open my eyes, the lunar distance force allows me to perceive many things.”

"Moon Goddess, if I told you that I do know some things, but I can't tell you or anyone else right now, would you believe me?"

“I believe in him, just as I believe in him.” Columbia gently looked at Yunxiu jumping in: “I believe in him just as much as you do.”

"Sigh...sigh? Sigh!"

Chapter 410 Clouds Break and Dragon Roars Like an Old Friend

What kind of existence was the ancient kingdom of Hippolya?

There is actually no single answer to this question. At least in the current history, all information about Hyperion has been erased. However, Yunxiu and many other scholars who study this topic can confirm one thing: the Hyperionians were very likely the first humans on this planet, and they were very likely the first humans guided by Fanes.

Modern humans are simply descendants of people like those from Hyperion.

Hyperion was just one of many ancient civilizations, but in reality, all ancient civilizations are essentially the same. Aside from the ancient civilizations of Langkawi, which were largely characterized by their diverse and complex cultures, most ancient civilizations were also quite similar.

However, the ancient civilizations that Yunxiu has visited and learned about are actually not so...normal.

The Delphi Palace beneath the Abyss was in chaos, with infighting raging within. The fall of Fendnir was not so simple. Remuria of the Ancient Sea transformed the entire nation's humans into rock monsters. It can only be said that this was a time when humankind shone brightly.

The reason why the slaves became like this was because of the existence of Zi Bai and even Zhong Li; it's not that simple. But now, the slaves are like a man on the sidelines, and ...

So, is Hyperportia normal?

At least from what Yunxiu is seeing now... it doesn't seem quite normal.

I had seen it once before, when the nine coins opened the gate and I saw Zhongli and myself from back then. But at that time, Hyperion was clearly Hyperion on the eve of its destruction, and everything was different.

Various shadows, an aura of destruction, and a sense of fragmentation rushed towards her, making Yunxiu feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"This... is this the moment before the destruction of the Golden Kingdom..." Arecino didn't seem to feel too uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because the Crimson Moon itself signified madness, and its power contained the power of the abyss, so she was actually the most comfortable. She looked at the surrounding aura, then pointed in a direction and said, "I can feel a very strong attraction in that direction, it should be there..."

“I can also sense that the location of the ‘Book’ must be there. I have half of it here.” A phantom image of half a book appeared behind Tsukihime. The book, which shone brightly, surprised her for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal.

Yunxiu nodded, and the three of them quickly left the entrance to the ancient kingdom.

The ancient city of Hyperion is known as the "Golden City of the Far North." Although it is somewhat vague in many of the original Genshin Impact stories, if you truly understand what this ancient kingdom did back then, you will find that eating Frost Spikes was almost a perfectly normal thing. This is also why Yunxiu never understood what her Third Adventist clone did back then.

However, after hearing Zi Bai say that he had actually thought about how to popularize magic back then, Yun Xiu roughly understood what her past self really wanted to do.

In the last days of Hyperion, humanity sought to use the power of the ruling class to create humans who could perfectly adapt to the power of the Light Realm, the so-called "Holy Heirs." They could easily use pure elemental power and merge with the world. Interestingly, Kukulkan was also doing something similar, which was not at all unexpected for Yunxiu.

As for why Haiborea and the Ancient Dragon Clan were able to unite, it can only be said that the two Yunxiu were originally one person, and they both participated in the War of Burial Fire.

In this situation, Hyperion's last effort naturally failed, and many things were even discovered by the later hero "Ajax". The executor of the Fools, now the captain of the elite assault squad under Yunxiu, is named Ajax, which comes from this legendary hero.

The "Gemstone," one of the four sacred artifacts bestowed upon her by the goddess of the night, Serene, was used as a key component of a later super device, the "Subatomic Energy Derivation Core," which was later known as the "Three-Gemstone."

The essence of this thing is actually an information-state matter-energy conversion device. It can perfectly convert between the three states of matter, energy, and information. It is also the last gap to fill in the gap in Tsukihime's ability. Tsukihime's biggest limitation is actually here. She is a puppet, which directly causes her elemental energy to be relatively low among the same level of strong people.

That's why there are situations where she unwittingly drains herself dry and completely faints. Most of the time, without relying on the "Soul-Suppressing Eternal Moon Reading Fate" that Lei Dian really crafted for her, she wouldn't be able to properly engage in a war of attrition. It's simply not on the same level as the endless, continuous combat ability that Lei Dian's movies can unleash for hundreds of years.

From the voices of those ancient inhabitants, one can still hear many secrets from that time, but some of them are completely incoherent, as if they were covered up by something.

"The Holy Son Project seems to be over... but... there's still no way..."

"The army set off yesterday, and I saw my child among them, and it seems my husband was also there. Has this country really become like this?"

"I heard that Shar Fendnir has completed its reconstruction. I wonder how Delphi Pito is doing? Your sister seems to have married into Langya."

"The past... everything... destruction... such is its existence... a metaphor."

"When will the Goddess of the Night descend once more to save us...?"

Wishing you all the best.

This wasn't a deliberate capture; it's most likely an echo of information preserved from ancient times—in other words, it was captured in a "photograph." However, preserving information in this way isn't actually that simple, and information might even be lost over time.

Even for legendary powerhouses, preserving something intact for six thousand years is not an easy task, because most legendary powerhouses themselves are unlikely to live for six thousand years... Although it is not a problem for Yunxiu, whose lifespan has been extended by more than a hundred times after severing his first corpse, he should be able to live for at least six thousand years if nothing unexpected happens.

Nico and Columbia outside were still forcibly maintaining the space. The three of them didn't stop, but charged straight into the innermost space, where they encountered an enormous door, comparable to the massive gate of Remuria...

“There’s a strange password and keyhole; it seems impossible to open.” Yueji investigated briefly and quickly ran over to lead Yunxiu to a small door nearby. This small door clearly had a peculiar screen and a keyhole, although the keyhole itself was also strangely shaped, square and irregular.

“There are traces of the Super Wish spell… Wait, Hyperion, dragon…” Yunxiu took out a small cube from his storage bag. This was the small cube he had found at the time in the mural in Crane View that depicted eight people, including a human with dragon horns. It was a combination of bubble spell and Super Wish spell, and he couldn’t open it at the time!

Could it be that……

Yunxiu gently pushed the small cube into the keyhole, and it fit perfectly, closing without any mishap.

Suddenly, the screen burst into a huge light, and countless spell runes frantically decomposed, combined, and reshaped, while the image on the screen constantly distorted and changed.

Soon, a series of strange runes appeared on the screen, which was already filled with deep purple, forming a line of rather distorted text. This was the script used by the Hyperion civilization during the Golden City era.

"Is this era before or after the prince's revenge in the abyss?"

"Before." Yunxiu gently tapped the button, and the screen color quickly changed from dark purple to light purple.

"Was it before or after the Heavenly Nails descended again after a thousand years?"

"Before," the light purple turned into deep red.

"Was it before or after the travelers from the Star Sea were cast out by Asmodian, the ruler of the skies?"

"After that," the deep red turned into a light red.

"Is the person answering this question before or after the traveler from the starry sea?"

"After that," the light red turned into pale pink.

"Is the divine judgment of the Water Kingdom coming before or after?"

"After that," the light pink turned into pale yellow.

"Is this before or after the Archangel's revival?"

"Before," the light yellow turned into light gray.

"What is the name of the Archdia Angel's daughter?"

"Serania Cloud" transforms from light gray to pure white!

Then, the screen completely changed, white light filled the entire screen, and the small cube was completely swallowed up into the gate, making a creaking sound. The huge gate opened directly from the middle, revealing the scene inside.

"What...is this?" Yueji asked curiously as Yunxiu answered all the questions. "Why didn't you just ask what era this is, or who you are?"

“Time in Teyvat is not stable enough. It’s impossible to verify a spell by storing information about someone who hasn’t even been born yet. It can only verify key information that only a handful of people in this world might know.” Yunxiu sighed as she looked at the complex mechanism. “Moreover, the timing of many events is uncertain. We can only determine a key moment. As long as he determines the time and the person’s identity, he will open the door. Whether it’s me or not may not matter.”

“However, after all the screening is over, the final answer can only be that you did it.” Arecino quickly followed and walked into the door with Yunxiu and Yueji: “Some information is known only to the princes of the abyss, some information is known only to the travelers of the starry sea, some things can only be known after experiencing the judgment of the gods, and the names of some angels and daughters of angels are known only to one or two people.”

"After putting all this information together, and adding the position, it is almost certain that only one or two people can enter."

“Besides me, Ying is probably the only one who has hope. She’s the only one who knows almost all the information… But it doesn’t really matter who comes, her or me.” Yunxiu continued as she scouted ahead, “Now I can be sure what kind of product I will encounter in this place… Perhaps, this is truly the most crucial thing left behind by that person from the past.”

The three of them passed through the gate and were greeted by a clear spring and several other sculptures. In the center of three tree-branch-like trays was an amber, and the core of the amber seemed to have a strange light.

“Go, collect it. If I’m not mistaken… this is the final part of the ‘Book’ and the ‘Precious Mill’.”

Chapter 411 The Four Gods Gather and Divine Essence Emerges

Yueji nodded. This was certainly not the time to be coy or have any other thoughts. Yunxiu had already made almost all the preparations, and obtaining it at this moment was simply an expected choice.

With a light lift of her leg, she jumped directly into the lake.

Looking at Tsukihime, Arecino was unusually sentimental: "When I first met her in the Fatui, she was just an innocent girl. I don't know what agreement she made with the Queen to come to the Fatui. She was powerful but extremely unruly. I knew then that she couldn't stay here for long... Now it has come to this."

“You’ve come to this point too, haven’t you? I think you can understand how Tsukihime feels.” Yunxiu looked at Arecino, then pointed to the strange supports around them and the peculiar architecture in the hall, saying, “Let’s take a look together and see what this place is.”

Arecino nodded, and the two of them walked around the lake. These branches were quite peculiar, not like something made by Teyvat's own technology. Instead, they resembled the material of the World Tree, but they were very different from the material of the World Tree and the Silver Ancient Tree derived from it. At least Yunxiu could feel something was wrong just by touching them.

When Bai Chen was being revived, he had come into contact with the branches of the silvery-white ancient tree.

"It does resemble the figure and material of the Moon Princess doll somewhat..." This Cloud Spirit really has the right to speak on this matter, as he has actually been in close contact with it. There are practically no Teyvats who have a higher level of appreciation and have been able to come into contact with the Moon Princess.

"Could this be the place where the Dragon Lord once raised three moons?" Arecino looked around at the space, pondered for a moment, and then spoke uncertainly, "If it is really as you say, that the Goddess of the Night, Serene, bestowed four divine artifacts, and then the three moons that rose in Nibelungen, could it be that he imitated the powers of the four divine artifacts and combined them with the situation in Teyvat to create the three moons?"

Yunxiu's eyes lit up; that really might be true!

Ultimately, the power of March is similar to the very origin of this world, a product that controls the planet itself. In fact, Zhongli's "Severing the Three Corpses" technique was also comprehended based on March. As for why Nibelungen was so knowledgeable about the power of the moon, the answer may lie on the surface of the mystery: he did indeed observe the power carried by the artifact of the Goddess of the White Night.

While the power of the artifact itself, when fully integrated, cannot compare to the complete power of the three months, the laws of the artifact are, after all, complete.

The four sacred artifacts combined are equivalent to the status of the Advent One, without a doubt. The three moons combined are also equal, but the three moons combined also contain the laws and power of Teyvat, so the three moons combined is equivalent to double the power.

"If that's the case... I think your strength should also be able to undergo a significant improvement with the help of these." Yunxiu looked at Arecino and smiled, "How about cultivating here for a while? Since you are a descendant of the Crimson Moon, you are naturally also a child of the 'Moon.' With your strength, you can be said to have reached the point where you need to break through. I just wonder what kind of transcendental technique you are learning?"

“I have seen the methods you taught. I am learning ‘Breaking Sinful Nature’. ‘Severing the Three Corpses’ is too difficult, but ‘Attaining Bodhi’ is not suitable for me. As for ‘Severing Self-Attachment’ in Sumeru, I cannot cultivate it at all.” Arecino smiled and sat down to cultivate.

The four methods of transcendence are indeed different, but it is undeniable that severing the three corpses is the first, while the other three are about the same.

In terms of difficulty alone, "Severing the Three Corpses" is arguably the most difficult and the most complicated to cultivate, but the final result is the best. This is because it creates three separate bodies and has the ability to merge them into one, which is equivalent to having several additional bodies. It is even possible to send several bodies into different timelines, just like Yunxiu. Of course, this is also the most difficult.

It is the most powerful, but also the most difficult to cultivate, and the most terrifying to master. However, the advantage is that one can achieve immortality by severing the first corpse. This is also a clever idea developed by the Emperor.

"Attaining Bodhi" is a variant of the Three Corpses. Because the Three Corpses variable is eliminated, the difficulty is reduced considerably. However, it requires extremely high levels of comprehension. Only those with pure and sincere minds can achieve the best results in cultivating it. Therefore, it is easy for Lei to cultivate this thing. Many great demons in Inazuma have also cultivated it to a considerable extent. However, those with too many distracting thoughts cannot succeed.

However, Serene, the captain, is indeed the most suitable person to cultivate this, as his heart is truly pure and noble.

The advantage of "severing attachment to self" is that it mainly tests one's attachment and spiritual transcendence. It has higher requirements for wisdom and lower requirements for the physical body. Therefore, many scholars of Sumeru, including Lei Nei, have chosen this method. However, it cannot be used if one's attachment is too strong. The only thing that can be "accepted" when one's attachment is too strong is to sever the three corpses. Yunxiu also cultivates this method.

As for the key to "breaking sin," it lies in using one's own path to burn away the seven "sinful" aspects of the soul or personality. This is very much in line with Arecino's philosophy. Her "fire" is precisely the kind that can burn away everything. Using one's own fire to burn away sin and allowing one's soul to transcend in the flames is the path she chose.

Arecino's cultivation lasted for a full day and night, and Yunxiu naturally stayed there for a day and night as well. Watching the flames on her body gradually rise to a height of over a hundred meters, and then slowly recede into her body, her body seemed to have become much purer. Even the blood-red patterns that were originally on her body and hands disappeared, and her hair color turned into a pure color. Her whole temperament was completely different.

“It’s really effective… I think I’ve successfully resolved the hidden dangers of the Crimson Moon bloodline.” Arecino stood up, gently patted her calves, and casually pulled out a mirror to check her appearance before continuing, “Although I don’t know what will happen next, one thing is certain: I should be able to unleash my power at will now…”

With a single deep thrust of her hand, the crimson moon shape instantly appeared in her hand, condensing into a gigantic scythe tens of meters long!

With a casual wave, a blood-red streak of light appeared in her hand, bursting out like a cannonball in an instant, tearing through space. But after circling around once, it returned to her blade. The power between them easily slid through countless layers of space, even cutting the partitions in space into a turbulent flow. She was definitely a super strong person who could be considered extremely powerful even among the legendary ones!

While this strike wasn't quite up to the level of Skok, it was comparable to Falgar's. And this was just a casual swing without her using her full strength, demonstrating that Arecino's power had reached the peak of the legendary level.

At that moment, the entire space suddenly fluctuated, and a strange suction force formed between the three branches. The water surface gurgled and sank downwards, gradually disappearing. The light that was originally at the bottom of the lake also disappeared completely. A stream of light shot out, and Yue Ji's figure suddenly appeared in the center of the three branches.

The armor on her body had transformed into a suit of armor, and behind her were six enormous golden wings.
