"Master Yunxiu, are you here for an inspection?" Wulang, who was standing and directing the drills, saw Yunxiu approaching and said with some surprise, "There was no prior notice from the Spirit Realm. I'm sorry, I was not prepared in advance."

"No need, I'm just looking around... Where's Xin Hai?"

"Lady Xinhai is in the rear. She is the logistics manager of Inazuma. I don't have that kind of ability, and I don't know how to command legions in battle, so I was sent here." Goro smiled a little embarrassedly: "However, I am quite good at leading my squad. Our squad was third in the last exercise. Although we are still a bit behind the squads led by Kinich and Maple, we are not bad either."

"Hmm..." Yunxiu sensed that Fang Jin already had a resurrection talisman on him, and knew that his sister should have given it to him, so she didn't say anything more. She gently patted Wulang's shoulder and left, walking into another camp. She looked around one by one, occasionally finding one or two familiar faces, and even discovering many people she had only heard of before, but who had made new progress in this world.

Lana, Miles, Archibald, Hongyu, Changhu, Terada, Vina, Pagar...

"If my obsession is to save the world..."

"So my desire is... for everything in this world... and for them, for everyone to live."

A faint white light emanated from his body, and a figure appeared behind him, gently hovering in mid-air. His face was as gentle as jade, and his pupils were different from Yunxiu's; they were the color of starlight.

"This is my desire..."

"Yes, so... everyone must survive." The figure waved lightly, and then vanished instantly.

-----------------

"So, it was this moment..." a figure murmured.

Six thousand two hundred years ago, in a valley of Nazca Rock, an exceptionally fierce battle had just ended.

The dragon-horned figure in a long robe stood still, sensing the message from the future. The figure that had just swept away from the river of time had actually landed before his own era.

"Yunxiu, we should go back. Although you are powerful now, you must have exhausted all your strength, right?" A girl with dragon horns held a huge staff in her hand, which was somewhat similar to the Seven Dragon Staff, but it was not. Instead, it was a staff composed of seven strange chess pieces: "Conserve your energy so that we can continue in the next battle."

“Taranis…” Dragon Horn Cloud suddenly smiled and said, “Let’s get married.”

“Huh? I…” Taranis looked at the powerful figure in front of him in surprise: “Even putting aside the fact that angels cannot fall in love with dragons… I am not ready yet.”

"It doesn't matter...maybe we'll have a daughter."

"I haven't even agreed to marry you yet, and you already know about having a daughter..." Taranis looked at the young man before her with some hesitation. It wasn't that she wasn't tempted, nor that she hadn't considered this moment, but when it actually arrived, even she was somewhat taken aback. She looked at the dragon elder before her, who didn't seem to be joking, and asked, "Then... what will our daughter's name be?"

“Let her be called… Serania, she is also the daughter of the moon.”

Chapter 436 Spirit Anchor Tracing the Light: The Future

"Daughter of the Moon..."

So that's how she got her name—at this moment when the new moon was about to return to Teyvat and new life was about to be born, she was named "Serania".

I thought it was because Columbia's name was Hippar Selene that she was given this name. I see. You two were "born" at the same time, which means that a new moon goddess must be born. The moment the new moon goddess is born must be the moment she gave birth to Selene in the past.

So this moment in the battle to release the floodwaters is also... the final moment of the battle to bury the dead.

This intense sense of destiny made Yunxiu momentarily lose his composure, causing him to stand there motionless for quite a while.

"What's wrong? Why are you standing here?" Xiaoyue patted his shoulder from behind, smiling gently. "If you have time, come and lend me a hand. The spatial array here needs to be strengthened. Thanks to your anchoring technique, otherwise even I would find it difficult to stabilize the space."

“Okay.” Yunxiu nodded without saying anything more. Alice and the other witches had already left with the Seven Gods, and now only he and Xiaoyue remained as the powerful space mages of Teyvat.

"Speaking of which, True Lord, how are those divine artifacts I asked you to forge last time coming along?"

"After we finished practicing, Ruotuo, Nata, and I, along with a craftsman, enchanted the items and then had the Emperor imbue them with spirituality." Xiaoyue chuckled. "There were a total of sixty-five items. We old guys also rummaged through our own warehouses and took about ten more each to make it a round number before sending them to Ningguang. They should have started distributing them by now."

Yunxiu nodded. Although the cost of a divine artifact is said to be as high as hundreds of billions of Mora, the actual material cost is only a few billion. A good one uses three to five legendary materials, and a few billion is enough.

However, whether it's crafting by a legendary artisan or enchanting by a god or a legendary powerhouse who has awakened the power of laws, the most troublesome thing is to imbue it with spirituality. Only people of a high enough rank can do this. Without the ability to create, it is simply impossible. In addition, a lot of Mora catalysts must be prepared...

Essentially, if you could find a few legendary peaks who would work for free, and a Descendant or Transcendent willing to work for free, then the price of the artifact could be driven down significantly, but in reality, that's impossible.

Therefore, the price of these magical artifacts is incredibly high, and they often end up being unavailable for purchase, with most being sold as barter items.

Although Yunxiu's ability in enchanting is not particularly strong, his ability to imbue things with spirituality is much stronger than many others because he truly possesses a small world, a complete world with spirituality. Therefore, he can forge equipment for his disciples relatively easily. However, because his enchanting skills are not high enough, he cannot forge very powerful equipment.

Therefore, these matters were left to Xiaoyue to handle.

The core of the anti-interference spatial anchoring technique lies in the "anchor," which is a spiritual material. For Yunxiu now, she can unleash hundreds or thousands of them with a wave of her hand. With a casual wave, the surrounding space is "locked" down, and then she can prepare the spatial array. Most of the monsters in the abyss have good spatial abilities, and the spatial array is designed to solve this problem.

Even a seventh-ring Beast Hound with the ability to teleport would require a small team to allocate some of its strength, but a Beast King Beast without the ability to teleport, even if it is as high as the ninth ring, would not be able to withstand the combined attack of Gui Zhongji or an elite team.

Xiaoyue inspected all the nearby magic arrays and reinforced the key ones. Xiaoyue and Yunxiu finally had some free time. They sat on the top of a small hill and watched as a large number of soldiers around them prepared and trained in an orderly manner, waiting for that moment to arrive.

“Don’t feel too much pressure…” Xiaoyue took out a bottle of wine, poured a glass and handed it to Yunxiu: “Try it. This is something I got from the Emperor back when Yixiao Daotian was still around.”

He paused for a moment before continuing, "The Emperor told me that you are prepared, so if that time really comes, you should take your wife and children and run away... We old folks have some ideas too. Let's all run first and come back later."

"The Demon God War wasn't a continuous victory. The Emperor also had many troubles at that time, but he eventually got through them."

“I’m not worried about that… I’m wondering if this is the last time we’ll fight a war like this?” Yunxiu took the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. This wine, which was over three thousand years old, was indeed a rare delicacy. He said with a hint of pride, “If we follow the current plan, I am confident that we will win this war. I am even confident that I can keep the casualty rate down. These powerful members of the family might not even die.”

"So what are you worried about?"

"Is this the last time? And... is this really how the enemy was defeated?" Yunxiu sighed helplessly, "We can win once, we can win ten times, but if we can't find that crucial point, there will always be a time when we lose."

“I see…” Xiaoyue nodded. He wasn’t good at comforting people; in fact, he was rather taciturn.

Not knowing how to continue the conversation, he poured Yunxiu another cup, and the two of them continued drinking in silence.

I don't know how many drinks I had, but then I heard a cat come charging towards me: "They're...they're arguing!"

"What's it to you, you little cat? What's all this arguing about?" Looking at Kira, who was running towards her, Tsuki asked curiously, "You're a retainer of Ayaka Kamisato, could it be...?"

"It's...it's because they started arguing during their meeting at Qunyu Pavilion!" Qi Liangliang said breathlessly, "That Lord Tianxuan Star seems to be dissatisfied with the deployment of the powerful figures from various countries and is currently throwing a tantrum!"

"Oh? Tianxuan, she should be a very good-tempered person." Yunxiu looked at Xiaoyue with some confusion. The two exchanged a glance before Yunxiu said, "Let's go take a look."

Both were legendary peak archmages. One after the other, Yunxiu habitually transformed into a streak of light and flew straight away, while Xiaoyue took a light step, seemingly shortening countless spatial distances. Seemingly strolling leisurely, she was actually a fraction faster than Yunxiu. In less than three minutes, the two landed on the core of the newly built "Tianxuan" warship.

As soon as I landed, I heard angry shouts coming from the hall.

"There are a total of forty-five ships, but only twenty-seven have submitted their confirmation forms. What about the remaining eighteen? Do you know how tight the berths are at Paha Island right now? Do you know that every voyage of the fleet needs to be monitored by the Jade Pavilion at all times?"

"They might still be unloading..."

"Lady Frederica, the Mondstadt people's lax attitude must be corrected! I'll give you four more hours. If you haven't finished unloading, you'll be carrying those heavy bags yourself!"

"What's so funny? Mr. Carles, how are your warehouse docks going? How are the waterproof tarpaulins and food supplies that Fontaine is responsible for producing going? Let me check. The logistics department has received 7,450 tons. If I remember correctly, Fontaine's quota should be 12,000 tons arriving today!"

"I...I'll try my best to get it sorted out tonight."

“This is the last time. Next one, Mr. Puccinella, the cold-resistant talismans requested by the Winter Solstice have been prepared. Why are my patrol teams still reporting that they are using traditional methods to keep warm?”

"We have been keeping warm in this way for so many years since the beginning of winter. As long as you have firewood and water, the men of the beginning of winter can defeat anyone!"

"Fire and water affect combat readiness, and firewood pollutes the battlefield environment! The Observatory is already operating beyond its capacity. Will you send us a Qunyu Pavilion by Winter Soldiers? Winter Soldiers have a total of 742 camps and 13 elite squads. I will have the patrol squads inspect them one by one."

"How do you know so much detail..."

"You'll understand after one look. Next, Lady Ianshan. I have no objection to the Nata Dragon Clan joining the war, but a dragon consumes three times the amount of food and clean water as a normal person. You didn't inform us in advance, so we need to transport an additional fifteen grain ships, totaling 46,000 tons of supplies. No questions? Good, you're the most cooperative one today. I'll prepare two berths for you at the temporary dock on Xixi Island. The goods will arrive within three days. Next, Immortal Lishui, how's your array talisman production going?"

"The first and second batches have been delivered, and I have arranged for about half of the third batch to be produced. The rest can also be produced within a week."

"Hmm, rare good news. All the inspections have passed. Next, Lord Kaiyangxing, I didn't expect you to be the one who caused me the most trouble. Why aren't you eating hot food?"

"We should be on the front lines now..."

"Is this how it is on the front lines? What's the point of developing talismans then? Luckily, you're in charge of an elite squad this time. Don't interfere with logistics command; hand it over to your deputy, General Zhen Dong. You should focus on fighting."

After a series of rapid-fire outputs, Tianxuan slumped weakly into a chair, looked helplessly at everyone in front of her, and waved her hand: "Go and prepare. Make sure you are all there according to your respective schedules."

"Yes……"

One by one, legendary powerhouses left this place, leaving behind only a few secretaries and the still rather powerless Tianxuan Star.

"You've worked hard. Sometimes it might be more appropriate to be stricter." Yunxiu cast a high-level restoration spell and patted Tianxuan on the shoulder, making the head steward hum comfortably.

“They always fought like this before, and it made it easy for them to win. But this time it’s different for us… Give me another spell.”

"it is good."

Chapter 437 Night Talk: Planning for Forging Divine Weapons

"It's not that they lack experience in leading troops, but rather that they've never fought a battle like this before." Yunxiu waved her hand and cast another advanced restoration spell on Tianxuan. This was a ninth-ring level advanced restoration spell. Although it didn't require various materials like the Divine Restoration spell, the Mora cost was genuine, and a ninth-ring level spell would cost around 500,000.

However, for Tianxuan now, it would be worthwhile to keep throwing money at it.

Just like her dispatching just now, it can reduce a large number of casualties. Even if it's only a few hundred fewer people, even without considering humanitarian factors, it will save tens of billions in compensation. So even from a purely economic point of view, it's worthwhile.

“It’s not that we haven’t fought battles like this before, but that we won too easily in the past. Even in the Dead Zone, the intensity is far from this level.” Although the Advanced Restoration Technique was indeed immediately effective, the mental fatigue was hard to erase. After resting in the chair for a while to recover, the head steward picked up the Spirit Realm Terminal again and began calling: “Tinari, the logistics support supervisor of Sumeru, Hiiragi Senri, the dispatcher of Inazuma Wharf, and Silver, the Fontaine Talisman distributor, come to the office in ten minutes.”

This can't go on...

However, if we were to forcibly elevate her to legendary status, and disregarding the issue of materials, it would be impossible for her to be forcibly elevated again in the short term.

Yunxiu thought for a moment and took out several special legendary materials from his storage bag. He originally planned to make a "weapon" for Shenhe after she broke through to the peak of the legendary realm, so he had been accumulating these special materials. Among them were even some top-quality materials that he had obtained from Bushgalo before, as well as some that Ying obtained from Gustott after defeating Gustott.

"True Lord, lend a hand?" Yunxiu gathered several materials in his hand, the light of his weakened prayer flickering. Tens of millions of Mora were instantly burned away, melting the materials in his hand into balls of light. Xiaoyue was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted. Strands of laws floated out from his hand, and powerful spatial fluctuations and a spiritual power of law inscribed layers of runes on them.

A peculiar ring gradually took shape in their hands; it was a small, silver-white ring.

"Next..." Yunxiu's hands flashed with spiritual light one after another. From [Immovable King] to [Advanced Restoration] to [Freedom of Movement] and [Mental Barrier], Yunxiu solidified four spells in one go!

After a moment's thought, he gritted his teeth, and the two legendary materials shattered and solidified into the light of the Prayer spell. He then added another [Wisdom Pure Land] spell to it. Although the effect was much weaker and it could only be used once every five days, this was still the most powerful conceptual spell he had.

“Then, I will activate the spirit…” A long, peculiar beam of spiritual light flew out from the sleeve of the Moon-Slicing Ring, circled the ring once, and then solidified into beams of light.

The ring was now complete, its silvery-white shape unchanged, still incredibly small, with a small, warm, jade-like fragment set in the face—a remnant from the horns of Bushgalo.

The inside of the ring is engraved with two extremely fine runes. These are Yunxiu's spells and the laws of the Moon-Shaving Technique. The power of the spatial laws has firmly solidified Yunxiu's spells on this ring, making it quite perfect in appearance.

"Hmm... let's call it the 'Ring of Rest.' The only problem is that it requires legendary-level power to activate the first time. Unfortunately, time is too tight."

Yun Xiu carefully examined the ring in her hand. It was indeed a pretty good auxiliary artifact. Its overall attributes were not much different from her own, but the added spell effects were good. Although it was not quite worthy of the "legendary" rank, it was indeed the most suitable equipment for Tianxuan to use at the moment.

"Ring of Rest": Forged by two powerful immortals for victory in the war, but who knew that it was actually an unexpected outcome?

Rank (Legendary): Constitution +12, Perception +4

characteristic:

"Immovable King": The wearer is constantly surrounded by an invisible protective force field, which increases all elemental resistances by an additional 40 points. Any attack targeting the wearer must pass through a deflection field of DC28. It also provides a base shield of level ×5 + 1000 points.

"Advanced Restoration": Removes all negative status effects, removes all control effects below level nine, and restores health to full. Can be used 5/5 times per day.

"Freedom of movement": The wearer is immune to any slowing, immobilizing, entanglement, or binding effects below DC35.

"Mind Barrier": The wearer is immune to the effects of any spells below DC35, such as charm, mind reading, etc.
