However, she didn't seem very interested in the conversation between the two. Instead, she turned to Yunxiu and asked, "What kind of being is the Goddess of March? I have never seen them before. I only have memories of them from when I was born five hundred years ago, but I have lost a lot of them now."

"The Moon of Eternity most likely shattered in the Sea of ​​Inazuma, the Rainbow Moon sank into the abyss and became the Crimson Moon, and you are the goddess of the Frost Moon. However, there should have been another one before you." Yunxiu looked at these beings related to the Moon Capital and couldn't help but sigh, "I once even thought that the 'lover' of the Goddess of March should be the Morning Star Angel Koitar, but now it seems that Koitar is still hiding in this world and has not yet appeared."

“You mean the ‘first and most beautiful daughter of the Creator God’? I found that information in the Winter Solstice Library, but at the time I thought it was just some strange songs.” Columbia suddenly seemed to remember something and said, “There’s a strange palace at Lake Anvardinier. Is that where the ‘first angel’ resides?”

Yunxiu nodded silently; it was indeed possible.

That place is very likely the "last place" of the "first angel," originally called Nephalem, also known as the Celestial Royal Court. It was the last refuge prepared by the Third Descendant for Koitar.

The "first angel" was actually the "first fairy spirit." She named the wolf that accompanied her "Boreas," which means "northern wind." This wolf eventually went to Mondstadt and evolved into the wolf king "Andrius" of the Wolfrune that we see today.

"The cicadas' chirping on autumn nights of yesteryear, the exiled's chant; only song and memory remain in this strange land; the last singer plays a pale finale; the first angel lingers in the halls of angels." Columbia's ethereal voice sang out this ballad, the last echo left by that angel. She finished singing softly, then turned around, surprisingly opening her eyes, looking at Yunxiu with those purple gemstone eyes: "Do you know where that archangel went? I always felt that you were the one among these people who knew the most about this matter."

“I really don’t know yet.” Yunxiu pondered for a while, then decided to tell Columbia what she knew: “I don’t even know whether the Third Descendant is the former me or that possessed boy… I’ve thought that maybe it’s actually two parts of one person, but even if you sever the three corpses, you can only sever three parts at most. So where did this fourth part come from?”

“Perhaps, that boy was also created… just like me.” Columbia closed her eyes again before continuing, “Did a boy truly exist? Or did the Third Adventist live quietly in the boy’s body until the moment he could truly raise the banner of rebellion?”

Yunxiu was shocked; this was really something he was capable of doing!

If the boy never existed, or if he was born into this world, then many things would make sense. The claim that he persuaded the Third Descendant is just his own explanation. Otherwise, how can we explain how the Third Descendant could be persuaded by a boy, and how the boy could unite with the original angel?

But now that the original angel has disappeared, Yunxiu naturally doesn't believe that she didn't leave any backup plan. Even if she really didn't leave any backup plan, Yunxiu doesn't think that the archangel would disappear so easily!

After all, in terms of pure status, this person is definitely no less than the Descendant, otherwise they wouldn't have left such a huge impact on the world. But now is not the time to think about that, since I haven't even brought Zibai back yet...

“We’ve arrived, this is it.” Arecino looked at the beach before her, which was now covered with various arrays. Standing quietly at the very core of these arrays, Arecino spoke: “The former seven-colored sovereign, the present great mother—the one in crimson, ruler of both realms. Severed by fire, reunited by fire. Now I offer myself, respectfully inviting your arrival…”

Streams of crimson light burst forth from around her, quickly converging to form a staircase in the scene—the gateway to the Crimson Moon Space.

Arecino nodded, and Tsukihime, Yunxiu, Columbia, and Nico instantly rushed through the gate and entered a peculiar space.

It seems that this place has lost contact with Teyvat. Yunxiu is certain that this is most likely a place where the power of the Crimson Moon and the power of Nibelungen have mixed together, which means it is an absolutely safe place.

“Let’s do it here. Now is the perfect time.” Yunxiu took out the mirror, the crystal, and the box. As soon as the three appeared, they gathered into streams of power, which sealed off the surrounding space, forming an absolute “pure land.” As the three converged, streams of energy were constantly being stimulated.

The mirror trembled violently, creating ripples.

The illusory figure, the dragon-horned girl, slowly opened her eyes and looked at Yunxiu.

The box and crystal slowly melted and gathered in the mirror. The illusory figure became more and more solid, completely transforming into a ball of light. The ball of light emitted a pure, golden light, forming a peculiar cocoon.

"Return to the self, return to the soul, return to the obsession, return to the destiny, return to the self..." A flash of light appeared in Yunxiu's hand. This was the method to undo the spell. Although the activation method was not fully developed, the undoing and calibration were relatively simple. Yunxiu had already completely sorted everything out.

squeak-

A crack appeared on the cocoon of light, then more and more cracks appeared, becoming increasingly dense, until finally, the cocoon shattered into countless specks of light, scattering and falling in all directions. After the light dissipated, only a figure remained, still floating.

A dragon-horned girl with a beautiful face very similar to Taranis stood in mid-air. Her horns gleamed faintly, and she was surrounded by a layer of silvery moonlight. Six wings spread out behind her, which was the mark of an angel.

She slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the one who haunted her dreams.

“Yun…Yunxiu…you’ve come.” Taranis gently floated down, placing her hand on Yunxiu’s face: “Is this the ‘complete’ you? Or is it still a part of ‘you’? No, I can feel it, this is the complete you, your destiny is complete, it is you…”

"Do...do you hate me?" Yunxiu was at a loss for words. Although for Taranis it was the past that had already happened, for him it was something that had not yet happened. Even though he had sensed some of the things Long Yunxiu had done in the past, it was the feeling of the Three Corpses that had returned to him, and he really didn't know the specific details. He just wanted to be sure of one thing now, which was how this girl felt about him.

“Just like him, just as foolish.” Taranis took two steps forward, gently hugged Yunxiu, and laughed, “Do you think I would be fooled? When I left back then, it was my own choice. What other reason could there be?”

"Now, I've found it."

Yunxiu didn't speak, but she also reached out her hands and hugged the returning angel tightly.

Watching the two act, Tsukihime remained unmoved, but Nico was rather excited. She chattered excitedly in her mind, seemingly quite gossipy:

"Ah, she's awake! What did she mean by that? Was she confessing her feelings?! Write it down! This is crucial for blackmailing Taranis later!"

“Nico, although I don’t know much about these things, I think I need to remind you…” Tsukihime whispered to Nico, “Don’t they already have a child? That Serania, hasn’t she already existed in this world for thousands of years? Although she is older than her parents combined.”

"Yes... but it's a reunion after six thousand years, it's still exhilarating..."

“Nico.” Taranis and Yunxiu walked over, and she hugged Nico tightly, saying happily, “It’s so good to see you alive. Yunxiu told me that you’ve lost a lot, it must have been very hard for you.”

"I...I'm probably the best-lived of all those angels so far, I actually feel very lucky."

"It's alright, we'll find a way to rescue them." Taranis said with considerable confidence, "Back then, I was the last line of defense left by my mother and Yunxiu!"

Chapter 418 Fate Annihilates the Heavens and Abyss

"Finally... a guarantee?" Tsukihime really didn't understand this at all, because she truly had no understanding of this topic.

"This young girl possesses a rich lunar power, which, in my opinion, is in no way inferior to that of the Goddess of the Third Month." Taranis smiled as he looked at the Moon Princess, then extended his finger, a strange light appearing on his hand: "So, do you know what 'Dark Fate' is?"

"A dark fate? My mother seems to have told me that, but I don't think I paid attention in class." Tsukihime scratched her head, revealing an innocent expression untouched by knowledge: "But it seems to say that a great being anchored fate, and thus countless worlds vanished into nothingness, and the nothingness transformed into a dark fate... I forgot the rest."

"Your mother is either Bar or Barzeb, isn't she?"

"Hey, how did you know?"

“Buyer will definitely educate you properly. As for Winter, although I don’t know what it’s like now, even if it’s an empress now, the harsh land of Winter can’t raise a child like you. The one in Fontaine might be, but you don’t have any of her aura on you.” Taranis shrugged before continuing, “Even if the Nata are now dominated by humans, they must still have the aura of dragons, so I can tell the difference as soon as I sense it. The old man, Tianxing, the Rock Lord, is probably still alive, so only Baal or her sister are left.”

“Taranis, after all, I call that Geo Lord Tianxing my father…” Yunxiu poked Taranis’s waist.

"Oh, old father's things."

Um...maybe there's some kind of rift between Taranis and the Emperor, but it's not a big deal...he can just explain it to him properly when he has time.

“A dark fate is the abyss,” Columbia floated over and said. “The abyss is the opposite of fate, something the moon goddess knew when she was born.”

“A new Moon Goddess… As expected, those three couldn’t escape.” Taranis nodded as he looked at Columbia, then looked at Yunxiu and continued, “The birth of a new Moon Goddess means that all the old Moon Goddesses have perished. Just as you predicted, so if I’m not mistaken, the new order should have been established for some time now.”

“If we look at it from the end of the Demon God War, it should be about two thousand years ago.” Yunxiu calculated for a moment and said, “The Demon God War lasted for about a thousand years, and before that was the time when that person reshaped the order.”

“Is that so? It seems that the system was indeed adopted in the end. Sure enough, our mother must have completely implemented the plan around this time. Heh…” Taranis sneered, sneering indifferently, “For such a powerful being to take this step in the end, it’s no wonder that Teyvat still has the concept of the Abyss. But the Abyss was essentially created by itself.”

Yunxiu nodded. Taranis was right; this was indeed the biggest problem facing the Great King of Law.

"As for the dark destiny, let me explain it to you simply." Taranis pointed and opened a light screen, then spoke softly: "This first step is destiny itself, the key to the birth of infinite possibilities."

It must be said that Taranis's explanation was far superior to Yunxiu's; in less than twenty minutes, he clearly explained the ins and outs of the entire universe.

As mentioned earlier, this would push all the unchosen worlds into the opposite of their predetermined fate, thus breeding the most intense hatred. So how exactly does this model work?

We briefly discussed the situation of the Abyss and the birth of this will. The Great King's method was indeed simple and brutal. So, is the birth of the Abyss idealistic?

The answer is no. Although it sounds idealistic, it is actually a materialistic question, and there is indeed a scientific explanation for it.

Simply put, the actions of the Great King of Law caused the abyss to expand and overflow, which can be explained by a completely scientific principle. Moreover, this scientific principle is not complicated. There has been a similar situation in Doraemon, and even the robot cat jumped out to explain it.

This is actually a five-step process.

The first step is the birth of infinite possibilities.

In quantum physics, there is the "many-worlds interpretation." This theory is actually very simple: at a certain point in time, after you make a crucial choice, the world will split into a new world.

For example, before Yunxiu left Liyue, she confessed her love to Xiangling and made a promise. This split into two worlds: one where Xiangling accepted Yunxiu and the other where Xiangling did not accept Yunxiu. This is the birth of a "parallel universe". The birth of each world is a new world that appears after countless subtle changes.

The world of "Da Yunxiu" is one where Yunxiu doesn't accept or confess her feelings.

This is also the most common setting used in most science fiction and time travel works.

For example, Dragon Ball is such a story, where each time Trunks travels through time, a different new universe is born.

The second step was Fanes's "observation".

The many-worlds interpretation does not need to consider the Copenhagen interpretation, that is, it does not consider the case of wave function collapse.

This brings us to the famous cat, Schrödinger's cat, which illustrates that a quantum state exists in a superposition state. When you observe it, it instantly collapses into a definite state.

In the original many-worlds model, wave function collapse was not a concern, but Fanes was an "ultimate observer" who observed the splitting of all the "timelines" and forcibly anchored a timeline, namely the choice of "fate".

This directly caused all timelines except this one to collapse.

In the original explanation, there were countless cats in the room, so it wouldn't matter if you shrunk one or two.

However, Fanes only chose one cat, and killed the rest of them with an infrasonic weapon, causing them to collapse.

Third, the discarded information will not disappear.

According to the law of conservation of information, information is born the moment a possibility arises. The countless parallel universes that have collapsed will not truly disappear, and it is even possible to reconstruct the original universe based on the information.

Where is this information? It has accumulated on the edge of that real universe, in the form of debris.

These remnants have no "matter" present, which is the abyss.

Fourthly, information residue will only accumulate more and more.

Because the number of abandoned parallel universes will inevitably increase over time, under Fanes's forced anchoring, the parallel universes lost all possibilities the moment they were born, instantly becoming part of the abyss.

The remnants of this information, accumulating on the edge of Teyvat, will begin to cover the entire world, and even gradually submerge the entire Teyvat.

The fifth step is that the enrichment of information itself will give birth to pure informational products.

When enough simple units interact, complex behaviors emerge. Countless discarded remnants of information from parallel universes interact and begin to self-organize, self-maintain, and adapt.

"Life-like" behaviors will naturally emerge, which is an inevitable result of the evolution of complex systems.

Is not it simple?

Yes, Fanes was bad because of the second step. As the ultimate observer, he destroyed all the timelines—which was an extremely rebellious act.

How extraordinary was this? It was so extraordinary that both Phanes and Teyvat were incredibly powerful, almost to an unparalleled degree. Why?

Because this world is a collection of infinite possibilities.

When Fanes chose to collapse countless parallel universes of Teyvat, his power had already approached an incredible level.

This is the fundamental reason why so many invaders have perished at his hands, and why even such a vast abyss has not completely crushed this world.

On this basis, the powerful Teyvat can naturally resist the increasingly severe abyss. However, as the system operates and the abyss becomes stronger, even the false heavens gradually begin to be unable to withstand this dark fate. Then, the dark fate will flow down and completely annihilate Teyvat.

This is the root cause of the time chaos in Teyvat, and also the root cause of the unity of past, future, and present in Teyvat. Because this Teyvat is actually a "super Teyvat" that is the convergence of possibilities from countless parallel universes, so even any being who steps out of this world will be incredibly powerful.

Kind-hearted people will become "seekers" like Kleiner, traversing the universe, protecting the cosmos, and traveling to save the world.

Those with malice and madness will become like Surtroch, a world-destroying "cosmic catastrophe".

The reason these powerful people are so powerful is because this world itself is an existence born from the sacrifice of infinite possibilities. It is like a convergence point of destiny, and the people born from it are naturally those from the convergence of infinite destinies.

This is true for every Teyvat.

However, does this mean Teyvat can weather the storm? The answer is also no.

Because this system itself has reached its limit, no matter how powerful Fanes is, he cannot truly withstand the backlash from the information deluge of the infinite universe. Therefore, Teyvat must undergo a process of destruction and reconstruction, but this destruction and reconstruction is extremely dangerous.

This is the reason for the existence of the "Flood Discharge Plan." It is necessary to first eliminate some of the pressure, then further enhance the strength of Teyvat, and even obtain some energy and information from the outer universe, in order to truly solve the problems of this universe and thus truly save the entire world.

“Therefore, our most important task now is to promote the return of ‘March,’ because the most important function of March’s return is to integrate with that system and make more transcendence possible.” Taranis stared at Columbia and said, “If this new moon goddess is to bear the power of ‘March,’ then a ‘fourth moon’ is also needed for stability. However, this young girl with abundant lunar power can do it.”
