I'm in the Teyvat running group

"That flood discharge plan..."

"The flood discharge plan is also necessary. If this world has truly reached this point, even the return in March will most likely not solve the problem." Taranis looked at the large number of calculations he had just listed, tapped his light screen, and continued, "This time window is actually very short. From the return in March to the successful flood discharge, we can only buy about ten years at most. We need a sufficient number of powerful individuals within these ten years... Yunxiu, did your plan succeed?"

"If you mean raising the overall quality of the Teyvats by a significant margin... I think I've already succeeded more than halfway."

“That’s good. Many plans have failed in the past, but it seems you’ve found a completely new path this time. You truly are my dear.” Taranis winked at Yunxiu before continuing, “Our current goal is to find a Moon Goddess. We need some information to do many things. I sense that this place should be the space of the Crimson Moon… so we can find her first.”

"Taranis, you're still as decisive as ever. But are those methods still as effective now?"

"Whether it's useful or not, let's just do it first. Are we really going to wait to die?"

"That's right, let's just do it first and talk about it later!"

Chapter 419 Skillful Hands Join Forces to Retrieve the Crimson Moon

Tsukihime was naturally the most enthusiastic one. For her, this was a perfect opportunity to cause trouble, so how could she not try her best to pull off a heist?

Especially after the four divine artifacts were combined into one, its strength became incomparably powerful, and its combat power was close to that of a proper ruling god. It was even not much weaker than some gods, only not as strong as the top ones.

After Tsukihime finished her test last night, she sent herself a message. She was able to block Lei Yingdian's three all-out attacks. Of course, after the three attacks, she used up all her life-saving trump cards and had to run away. With the blessing of "Soul-Suppressing Eternal Tsukuyomi" and the Four Sacred Treasures, she was still able to escape successfully, which is already a remarkable achievement.

If it were during the Demon God War, she might have been lucky enough to become one of the Seven Rulers. Her strength would undoubtedly have reached the second level below the Seven Rulers, and she would be very good at fighting.

Just like Vilet, even in his true form, the Dragon King isn't particularly skilled in combat. It's just that his cultivation and rank are extremely high, allowing him to suppress most opponents. If he were to fight Lei Yingdong, it would be a mere scratching motion. He would scratch Lei Yingdong, and Lei Yingdong would scratch him as well. So when he fought the clown, even if the clown unleashed his full power, Vilet could easily suppress his necromantic domain.

Of course, his direct combat ability is still very easy to deal with people of the legendary level. Not to mention that the young master is not yet at the legendary level, even if he is, he can be killed instantly.

Tsukihime's potential is even higher because her power is actually a part of "Moon". In this Teyvat, she even slightly surpasses Raiyo, because Raiyo's power is actually split in two with her sister's. Only when the two are combined can it be confirmed that she surpasses Tsukihime. Of course, at crucial moments, the possibility of the two being combined cannot be ruled out.

After all, even for a demon god, giving up power does not mean death, but only a slight weakening. If lightning can find a second power, its strength will still recover.

The group walked together into the deepest part of the Crimson Moon Kingdom. If the Kingdom of the Night God was a vague and elusive concept, then the Kingdom of the Crimson Moon could be described as a realm like the "Gray River." The sewers of Fontaine were incredibly wide, and people could even walk inside them. Many things and stories had arisen within them, but did that mean it was a good place?

The answer is of course no. Moreover, this "blood river" makes the whole world even more distorted and crooked, with countless laws visibly collapsing. Most people with the Eye of God are destined to be unable to cast spells if they enter here.

If it's a magic system, one might be able to barely survive here by relying on their own understanding of magic runes, but it definitely won't last long. At least when one reaches the legendary level or higher and forms their own inner world, creating a legendary domain, they can barely survive here.

The original story wasn't actually this tragic.

This is strange. Based on my abilities and the design at the time, it's unlikely that I would have let Red Moon fall to this state. Could it be that I didn't foresee this? But that's unlikely. If I could even foresee Taranis, there's no need for me to have failed to foresee this outcome.

"Could it be..." Yunxiu suddenly thought of a possibility. If that were the case, then this operation might go much more smoothly than he had imagined!

Taranis erected a powerful protective barrier of laws along the way, which was also her most powerful ability. The protective barrier in the Abyss Palace was her creation, and it could even directly withstand the spying of Fanes and Nibelungen, protecting Serania from much harm over thousands of years, demonstrating its formidable strength.

Within her domain, all laws were regulated by Tsukihime's aura, transforming into a silvery-white lunar kingdom.

The combination of these two factors makes their combat strength actually higher than it is outside.

After Taranis returned, her information naturally appeared in his mind. From this moment on, this being truly appeared in the "world." This is the power of the [Locust Butterfly] spell. However, Yunxiu estimated that there weren't many beings who could use this spell, because even Taranis clearly experienced many discomforts after returning. If he wasn't mistaken, this was probably the spell's limit.

In other words, even a true 12th-ring spell cannot be withstood by many beings. Taranis is among the top tier of archangels, with strength comparable to Zibai of Liyue, slightly surpassing the level of the Flower Goddess, and far exceeding the level of Nico and Sybil.

However, if we follow this line of reasoning, it's highly likely that Koitar is still alive, though his whereabouts are unknown. Theoretically, this "first angel" shouldn't have died so easily...

Strands of crimson light drifted past in the outside world, and the collapse of the laws of the entire world became increasingly severe. When they reached the very core, it was almost a blood-red kingdom. The space, stained to its limit, was filled with an eerie halo, as if the entire world had become a battlefield where the power of the abyss and the moon converged.

At the heart of the war lay a pure crimson moon marrow, covered only by a thin layer of abyss.

“As expected… I guessed right. The reason why the laws here have collapsed to such an extent is because the Crimson Moon is not dead, and even retains powerful strength, which is why it continues to resist the abyss.” Yunxiu stretched out her hand and gently sensed the abyss-like aura before saying, “It should still be conscious, but how to cover up the aura inside is still a problem. We need to find a way to take this Moon Essence away.”

“That’s simple. Your ‘All Laws Return to Emptiness’ spell is just reversed, and it becomes ‘Blessing of All Laws,’ isn’t it? Don’t tell me you haven’t mastered this spell yet.” Taranis gently patted Yunxiu’s hand and said, “As for how to conceal it from that person, that’s something we’ll need this Miss Yueji for.”

"Under the blessing of all dharmas, your rank should be able to contain the lunar marrow, so I entrust it to you."

"Huh...? Me? I haven't tried it yet." Tsukihime carefully stretched out her hand and gently touched the surface of the moon marrow. Sure enough, she felt an extremely attractive aura.

“It seems to be possible, but how should we purify this lunar marrow?” Columbia also stepped forward and touched it slightly with her hand. The power of the Crimson Moon had no effect on her; instead, it gently released some power to touch her palm, giving Columbia a strange feeling: “I feel like this lunar marrow is responding to me… What is this feeling?”

"Yunxiu, prepare to give him seven layers of protection. Nico, use your abilities to create a restraint device for the lunar marrow. Use the technology our angels used to restrain high-energy cores." Taranis waved her hand, quickly assigning tasks to everyone. Seeing Columbia's confused look, a smile appeared on her face: "Moon Goddess, come with me to support the defenses here. I think many more troubles are coming."

Yunxiu glanced helplessly at the others. Since everything was already arranged, let's just do it.

The only person here who can create a restraint device in a short time is Nico. As a magician of transformation, turning lead into gold is commonplace for her. She casually took out a few legendary materials and gently squeezed them, and a blank took shape in the air. Then Nico continuously added various runes into it, and soon, a rather beautiful restraint device was formed.

The white spherical restraint is composed of six peculiar skeletons, with a small spherical space inside. Even within the angelic system, this is an extremely advanced technology, but in the hands of a peak transformational archmage, it is of course commonplace.

After she finished, she quickly threw the restraint device to Tsukihime, who then gently fastened it onto the Moon Marrow. The restraint device fit perfectly, and the Moon Marrow was firmly restrained within the white sphere, forcibly suppressing even the pollution of the abyss.

Yunxiu's prepared spell was also completed at this time. With a gentle flick, seven nails surrounded the restraint device, completely binding the cause and effect of the entire restraint device.

Taranis, seeing that the restraint device was complete, gently tapped the small ball, and instantly the entire ball shrank many times over, becoming a tiny dot, and entered Tsukihime's body.

"Is this... finished?"

"Yes, it's done. We should get out of here." Taranis sensed the surrounding atmosphere and decisively said, "It's starting to collapse. Evacuate immediately!"

The journey here was a bit troublesome, mainly because we were worried about encountering some inexplicable trouble. But the evacuation was much simpler. All of them were top-tier experts, and even the weakest one, Nico, had surpassed the peak of a typical legendary expert. He was definitely one of the peak existences in Teyvat. All sorts of monsters that appeared along the way were easily killed by these people. It was countless times faster and more enjoyable than the journey here.

In just a few minutes, they arrived at the entrance to the space and then dashed out.

Seeing Yunxiu emerge last, Arecino breathed a sigh of relief and immediately closed the gate to the Crimson Moon Space.

"So this is the current successor of the Crimson Moon? Tsk tsk tsk, she actually cultivated the method modified by that madwoman Sybil. Little girl, I must remind you, the Golden Peak method will encounter a major problem in the later stages: the ever-burning sin will also begin to burn your perception." Taranis looked at the interdimensional fire burning on Arecino's body and sighed, "When you realize that step, you must begin to find your own 'anchor,' otherwise you will not be able to achieve the final transcendence."

Arecino looked at Taranis with some surprise. She didn't recognize the beautiful dragon-horned girl, but she was very surprised that she had seen through her predicament so easily. She quickly gave Yunxiu a questioning look.

"She should know more about this than I do, so there shouldn't be any problem." Yunxiu scratched his head. He knew more about the Three Corpses Severing method, and he was okay with Bodhi Realization, but he was completely clueless about the Sin Breaking method, which had been passed down from Phanes to the present day. However, most angels should use this method, so there shouldn't be any problem.

Arecino nodded without asking if it was successful; since it had come out, it must have been a success.

“I feel that Agoria is probably gone. Who is in charge of the life force now?” Taranis did not slow down because of this, but continued to prepare for the next step: “To revive her, we not only need a powerful being who can purify the abyss, but also someone who controls the life force.”

"It seems...we'll have to go to Fontaine. Let's have Serania come along too."

Chapter 420 Settling Old Stories and Deceiving Fools

“Serania…?” Taranis, who had been decisive and efficient since the start of the resurrection, hesitated, clasping his hands together as if deep in thought.

“Serania doesn’t hate you, and she’s doing well now. She moved to Liyue a while ago.” Yunxiu took out a crystal plate from the Spirit Realm terminal, quickly set it up, and handed it to Taranis. She then pulled her into her arms. “Talk to Serania more. At least that way you’ll be prepared before you meet her. This is the Spirit Realm terminal. With your abilities, you should be able to use it quickly. Give it a try.”

Taranis hesitated for a few seconds, but quickly took the crystal panel and saw the video call invitation from Serania.

She gently clicked on it and saw that pretty face, almost identical to her own, appear on the screen. Tears welled up and fell instantly.

Yunxiu gently pulled her away, walked to a corner of the beach, and then came out to stand guard, quietly waiting.

To be honest, from the perspective of bloodline perception, Serania is indeed his daughter. She has half Liyue blood, so Serania, who has the blood of Yunxiu and Taranis, is naturally proof of his relationship with Taranis. After Taranis returned to this world, he already knew what his three corpses did with Taranis in that era.

Although I'm still a little unaccustomed to it, this is indeed my wife and child, and there's no mistake about it.

However, I need some time to accept and process this, because I really did it, so I can't deny it. Besides, Taranis and Serania have indeed suffered too much over the past few thousand years...

The mother and daughter must have chatted for more than twenty minutes before Taranis quietly came out. Just as she was about to put the crystal plate into her pocket, Yunxiu handed her a beautiful storage bag. After sensing it for a moment, she discovered that it contained a huge space, large enough to be called a small town, and even houses and some utensils had been prepared.

"You really managed to create this?" Taranis took the storage bag, played with it for a few moments with great delight, and then continued happily, "But I don't need a house or supplies, do I have nowhere else to live?"

“Of course, it’s impossible not to have a place for you to stay, but it’s better to be prepared.” Yunxiu patted Taranis’s cheek and found that its elasticity was indeed top-notch. She couldn’t help but admire her own taste before continuing, “Teyvat is completely different now than before, and I may have… quite a few girls around me, but they probably won’t mind your arrival.”

"No need to explain, how could someone like you lack companions? But, I am quite curious about who the eldest sister is now." Taranis looked at Yunxiu with a teasing smile: "But judging from your appearance, I can imagine that you must be a very approachable and interesting person, so what do I have to worry about?"

Although there may have been some problems with the process, the results were all correct.

Yunxiu didn't have the energy to explain this further. These things could be dealt with later. Anyway, the worst outcome would just be that her kidneys would suffer a bit, because some girls might want to have a child after seeing Taranis's return...

He pulled her away from the corner, and after exchanging a few words with the others, Yunxiu, Taranis, and Yueji headed to Fontaine. Arecino stayed behind to handle some matters, while Nico and Columbia began the final dismantling work. Only after the dismantling was complete could the war fortress be fully transformed. The next time they came, they would enter the dark side of the moon to find the moon goddess. Even if the Crimson Moon they found this time could be resurrected, it would not be enough. It would be best to find all three of them.

For some reason, a large crowd had gathered at the Mo Mang Palace today. There were even vehicles with the official markings of the Winter Solstice visible outside. Many of the Fools were even lined up outside, confronting the Duel Executors and the Law Enforcement Court.

Yunxiu landed on the ground with the two women and couldn't help but ask Sedna, the legendary Merusin warrior who was leading a group of Merusin, about her situation.

This person, Melusin, who was originally in charge of some of Fontaine's political affairs and liaising with Navelette, is a super strong person among this group of cuties, and one of the few who can truly be no less powerful than human beings.

"Sedna, why are you here? Aren't you usually handling things inside?" Beside Sedna were two legendary Melsinians, Rias and Chiara. There were only a few legendary members left in Melsinians, which made Yunxiu curious: "And it seems that several strong members of Melsinians have come. Is it because of these Fatui?"

"No, everyone's here to show their support for Lady Vilette. Apparently, it's about Winter's diplomatic accountability, something about the death of the 'Clown.'" Sedna looked at the two people behind Yunxiu and asked curiously, "Mr. Yunxiu, are you taking them to see Lady Vilette? Normally you need an appointment, but you should still be careful now."

"Oh? Then I'll go take a look."

With Tsukihime and Taranis by their side, the three of them entered the Mo Mang Palace. The Fools, the agents of Fontaine, and the Merusin were naturally aware of Yunxiu's identity, and no one dared to stop them. However, when they reached the door of Navelette's office, they heard a rather intense noise coming from inside.

Yunxiu waved her hand, indicating that she should listen first; it did indeed seem quite interesting.

"Lord Kares, we are not here for sightseeing. Two months ago, Mr. Ivor Tilvett, the commander of the Fools of Winter's Kingdom, was attacked and killed at the border between Winter's Kingdom and Fontaine. That area is under Fontaine's jurisdiction. Shouldn't your side provide an explanation for this matter?"

"The problem is, this land is now a 'special control zone' belonging to the three countries of Nordkale, Winter Solstice, and Fontaine, isn't it? If I remember correctly, it was Winter Solstice that insisted on participating in the 'control,' and Fontaine ultimately conceded."

"Yes, according to Article 327, Paragraph 4 of the Fontaine Law, the responsibility for the management of special control zones shall be borne by the local authorities."

"You are... a mere detective, yet you dare to speak to me!"

“Xia Wore, there’s no need for such a serious rebuttal, Mr. Pantalone. I have a question for you. Since it is Ivor Tilvett, the commander of the Fools of your Winter Kingdom, to whom does he belong, and who is in charge of handling these matters?”

“Yes, for stateless persons, Fontaine’s law does not have personal jurisdiction, only territorial jurisdiction. Therefore, the judgment in that region should be made by Zhi Dong, and we certainly will not interfere in Zhi Dong’s affairs.”

"Lord Villette, as far as I know, you were also present at the time?"

Yes, I am here.

"Then you are the party involved! As the Supreme Judge of Fontainebleau, you participated in the assassination of a high-ranking foreign official, isn't that..."

"I need to correct you on one word. It wasn't 'surround and kill'; it was just that a friend invited me to travel together, and I happened to be vacationing there."

"..."

"According to Article 452, Paragraph 8 of the Law of Fontaine, the personal conduct of public officials during their leave is not subject to official jurisdiction. Lord Navilette was on annual leave at the time, which even caused the suspension of the trial. As for what he witnessed, that is his personal testimony and cannot be used as the basis for official charges."

"...However, some of our people saw Violet appear nearby."

“I was taking a walk at the time.”

"A walk? Could a walk turn the surrounding area into a swamp for tens of kilometers? Lord Vilette, this is a manifestation of the power of life!"

"This place is somewhat desolate, with a swamp in the way, which may be a good thing for the future."

"Wait a minute, you guys have been coming here every day lately, disturbing my afternoon tea time. It's been so long since I've had freshly baked cakes at 3 pm! Mr. Puccinella, I, Fucarus, the Queen of Fontaine, need to ask you a question. What was the identity of the person you mentioned in his lifetime? What did he do? Should I have Clarinde read aloud the 'Biography of Mr. Ever Tilvett' collected by the Fontaine intelligence department?"

"If Mr. Puchnera is not satisfied, I can also send invitations to Liyue and Sumeru. I believe they will be willing to provide more information."

"you……"

"Alright then, Lady Vilette, Lady Funina, Mr. Puccinella, Fontaine will launch an internal investigation and upgrade some equipment at our base. Also, since Lady Vilette's whereabouts are indeed somewhat questionable, in accordance with the relevant regulations for Fontaine public officials, her monthly performance bonus of 47,600 Mora will be deducted. We will issue a public notice and send a letter to Winter. This should give the Queen an explanation. What do you think?"

"Lady Funina, this requires your approval."
