I'm in the Teyvat running group

This also made Yunxiu re-examine the concept of the "Five Great Sinners". If the "Sage" is so difficult to deal with, then the Four Shadows must be even stronger. In that case, the reason why Asmodel and the Nibelungen shadows are unwilling to fight to the death with their side is likely that they dare not make mistakes or pay any price.

"Did he say when we'd meet?"

"It's still quite early, not until December of this year."

“Then there’s no rush. We can deal with the rest later.” Yunxiu shook her head and looked at Zhilin, saying, “Let’s finish dealing with things here as soon as possible, and then train a few people. It’s a bit of a waste of your talents to be doing this. There are more important things to do.”

“Yes, Master. The Chamber of Commerce has some talented people recently, and I will start training a group of them.” Zhilin handed a box to Yunxiu: “These are special snacks given by the Empress. Please take them to your younger brothers and sisters.”

Yunxiu took the snack box and quickly passed through the spatial portal, returning to the backyard of Wanmintang.

Two years ago, Wanmintang was expanded again, and the courtyard finally felt like a mansion. As soon as you arrive at the gate of the courtyard, you see three children playing and fighting with each other. But they are not playing around. The magical aura emanating from their bodies is extremely terrifying. Some of them have even reached the level of the seventh ring!

"Pinghe, Anyue, Anyao! You can't cast spells like that! No spells exceeding the fourth ring can be cast within the city!"

"Dad!" When the children saw him return, they quickly huddled around him. One little girl with pink hair clung to Yunxiu and asked, "Did you bring back anything delicious today?"

"An Yao, wash your hands and face first. Here are some snacks given to you by the Empress Zhi Dong." Looking at the little girl who looked almost exactly like Cetalari, Yun Xiu smiled and took out the box of snacks.

Chapter 464 Parents Meet Amidst Stormy Weather

“Dad, Uncle Kong brought a strange guest today.” Yun Pinghe’s little head came in, and she took a piece of nut candy from the snacks and quickly stuffed it into her mouth. Then she said, “There are sunset fruit and some white spirit fruit. There should also be some winter rice wine added. The salt and milk in this piece are a little unbalanced, but it’s still very delicious.”

This is Xiangling's second child, four and a half years old this year, who already possesses an astonishing talent for cooking. Interestingly, however, Xiangling's eldest daughter, Yun Anli, doesn't have any talent for cooking. Instead, she has an exceptional talent for perception and has already become an apprentice of Xianyun to learn immortal arts.

"Yes, Dad, my younger siblings are still observing that guest." Yun Anyue casually tiptoed and jumped onto Yun Xiu's head, then sat down cross-legged, deliberately speaking in an old-fashioned tone, "And he doesn't talk much at all, he really doesn't give me, the second most beautiful girl in Inazuma, any face!"

“I’ve said it so many times, your mother’s way of speaking isn’t very good…” Yunxiu lifted Yun Anyue off her head and looked at her exquisite face, which was no different from Yueji’s, and asked, “Was that guest blonde and wearing a mask?”

"Dad is so smart! Here's a reward for you."

Yun Anyue quickly pecked Yun Xiu on the cheek, then darted into the room, shouting, "Daddy's home!"

"Dad, can I cast my new spell right here?"

"Father! Has the sorrow you promised your daughter arrived with your return...?"

“Anxi… Fu Ningna’s mother only speaks like this on stage.”

"Leave me alone!"

Yunxiu shook her head helplessly and stepped into the room, where she saw Sora and Daine sitting at the coffee table drinking tea, while Ying and Ayaka Kamisato were watching the two of them with smiles on their faces.

In front of Kong was Ying's child, Yun Anxing, who was constantly munching on snacks in his arms. Two little ones were crawling on his head, Ying's second child, Yun Pingchen, and Yun Anyue, who had just jumped in. Kong looked at the children with affection while occasionally tidying his hair to maintain his appearance.

“You are their uncle, but I am just a guest.” Dain sighed, took the little girl Yun Anlu off his head and handed her to Ayaka Kamisato, saying, “The children are still young, and my aura is not good for them.”

Ayaka Kamisato picked up Yun Anlu, pinched her little head, and then placed her next to Yun Anying, indicating that she should play with her sister. Then she smiled and said, "Actually, it's okay. The children all have their husbands' fixed spells that automatically counteract and suppress them. This is to prevent them from casting any dangerous spells while playing."

"You two, what brings you here together today? Is it because of the 'Prophet's' news?" Yunxiu smiled and sat down, looking at Kong's constantly getting his hair messed up. "If you're just here to keep your nephew company, that's fine too. I can share some information I gathered today."

“Yes, but not entirely. We also received the message from that ‘prophet,’ but there are other reasons.” Kong, carrying the weight of two or three children, turned to look at the group and said, “The ship we took to Teyvat… how’s your research going? I remember Ying told me that we might try to look at some of the internal systems…”

“Brother, I know that. The Mage Association contacted me a few days ago. They mainly want to study how the internal circulation space and the high-strength outer shell for interstellar travel are forged, so they're currently focusing their research on that.” Ying picked up Yun Anxi, gently pinched her soft little face, and continued, “There's progress on the internal circulation space, but I don't quite understand the specific technical details…”

"By combining spatial anchoring, wishing spells, some alchemy techniques, and bubble spells, we can now barely achieve self-circulation within space and resist the pressure of the chaotic laws in the False Heaven, but it is still unstable." Yunxiu shook her head and said, "That person has left too much trouble for the whole world. Normally, it would never be like this, but if we don't invest in research and development of these, we can't fly out of the False Heaven. There's no other way."

"Even coming here now requires me to suppress my strength the entire time, and I need to be protected by a divine artifact." Kong shook his head helplessly. What he said was indeed true. Even now, it was extremely difficult for him to truly come to the surface world. The reason he was able to come to see his nephew was because Yunxiu and Yueji had joined forces to forge a divine artifact to suppress his aura, using the aura of the moon to cover up the dense abyssal power on his body.

Yunxiu's own strength has increased a lot in the past few years. Although the Seven Dragon Staff has not returned, the original phantom was solidified by his Super Wish Technique, so it has always been there.

The weapon successfully devoured three world fragments: Zibai, the Flower Goddess, and the one left behind after defeating the Sage's clone six years ago. It has now evolved into a complete high-level divine weapon. With his own strength breakthrough and level increase, as well as the continuous strengthening of several old artifacts, his intelligence correction value has reached 56 points, and the correction coefficient has also skyrocketed to 16582.

The [Guardian] Law has increased to a bonus of 1260%, and even the effects of several artifacts have been significantly enhanced. For example, the duration of the Unrestricted Talisman has been shortened to once every 30 minutes, and the stacking effect of the Thousand Wind Feathers' poems has been increased to twice the Intelligence.

He can now place four skill slots. In addition to Arcane Protection, he has also placed Projectile Shield and Wisdom Sanctuary in them, as well as the newly developed spell [Eternal Sanctuary], a purely conceptual defensive skill.

They also developed an additional feat that increases the number of stacks of all shield-stacking skills by 50%, and even developed a feat that allows them to level up their rings by 6 at once.

Of course, there are no additional effects, just a simple numerical increase.

Now, a single layer of Arcane Protection has reached 26159763, and it can be stacked up to 168 times, bringing his shield value to a terrifying level of 44 billion.

Compared to some god-level monsters, its health is a slight advantage. Without other defensive methods, it would be almost destroyed by a single shot from the upgraded Super Lightsaber Cannon at full power. The Super Lightsaber Cannon's effect has now increased by about four times. This time, Zhongli was brought over for the test. It was estimated that a single full-power overclocked shot could reduce its shield by less than 1.5%. The Emperor was quite surprised.

Of course, his own life points have also increased significantly, now around 3800 million.

While his strength alone has indeed improved significantly, Yunxiu is well aware that he is still relatively low-ranking among the Seven Rulers, roughly stronger than Xiaoyue, and similar to Li Qinglian and Yueji. In terms of pure combat power, he is not far behind the lower-ranked individuals. However, his problem lies in:

First of all, he has no offensive power, unlike the Emperor. The law of contract, when reversed, is the law of dissolution. Therefore, his rock spear can sever all your connections and contracts with this world almost the instant it pierces you.

Yunxiu still needs to use the "Return of All Laws to Emptiness" technique to separate herself from the void, but the Emperor doesn't need to. The Emperor can easily stab you into a state of complete separation from all laws with a single spear thrust.

Yunxiu himself was also pondering this, but unfortunately... he didn't have any good ideas. However, the Guardian Law was indeed getting stronger and stronger. Now he could even cast the Pure Land of Wisdom instantly, and he had even solidified it on his children.

Then there aren't any particularly good offensive artifacts. The Seven Dragon Staff isn't actually that outstanding; it's just that its various effects are excellent. But the dragon scales of the Seven Great Dragon Kings are only at this level at best. It's impossible to become stronger unless you kill the Seven Great Dragon Kings... But that would be too overpowered. Even Yunxiu might not be able to defeat him now.

Speaking solely of weapons, he has forged a magic sword in the past two years, and the effect is quite good. It grants +16 Intelligence and comes with a weakened version of the [All Laws Return to Emptiness] effect, which can be stacked to enhance it. It also has an additional attack identification bonus, doubles all spell dice values ​​with a minimum of 6, solidifies the spell-breaking and powerful strike effect, comes with four layers of upgrade rings, and reduces spell casting time by 50%.

Even among divine artifacts, it is an extremely rare and superior weapon, surpassing even ordinary weaponry.

However, this does not solve the problem of conceptual enemies. When there are no offensive laws, the opponent will use laws to counteract them.

“In that case, we’ll be leaving. I promised the Knights I’d help them out, so I’m in Mondstadt lately, unlike this one who’s always hiding at the bottom of the Abyss.” Dain stood up coldly and took out a box of pastries, placing it on the table. “These are pastries from the Kanria era. I asked Miss Marjorie to make them for me this morning. Since we didn’t finish them, we’ll leave them for the children.”

Yunxiu noticed that the box was unopened, but he didn't say anything.

“I’m still being watched… I can only hide in the abandoned places of various ancient kingdoms now.” Kong shook his head, glanced at his sister and the two children, and affectionately pinched Yun Anxing and Yun Pingchen’s little faces and smiled, “Uncle came today to celebrate Anxing starting school, so I’ll give you this amulet. Pingchen will get one later too.”

He pulled out a talisman from behind his back and put it on An Xing. It was a legendary piece of equipment with a pretty good effect, with +6 perception and some auxiliary effects.

As the child of two Descendants, Yun Anxing was very talented, but he was neither a mage nor a warrior. Instead, he chose the path of a priest, and his talent was surprisingly strong, which was something no one expected.

Ying got up and hugged her brother, then saw Kong to the door. She still often goes out on adventures, but once she knew her brother was coming, she quickly used a portal to return. Although the siblings had resolved many of their differences, they still didn't see each other very often each year. After Yunxiu crafted a divine artifact for his brother-in-law, he could occasionally come to Liyue, and he would usually notify Ying in advance so she could come back.

Yunxiu followed behind Ying, watching Daiyin and Kong turn a street corner and disappear.

"It's only been nine years since the flood control battle, is it time for chaos to break out again?" Ying leaned against the door with some worry.

Chapter 465 A Joyful Gathering of Young Children

"It's alright, we have a final guarantee." Yunxiu hugged Ying and smiled: "Anxing will be here, Pingchen will be here, and I will be here too. We will also find a way to take your brother away."

"Was your departure from Teyvat that time to resolve this matter?" Ying glanced at Yunxiu, then stared intently at her two children sharing the snacks Dain had brought. Suddenly, she laughed as well: "Yes, but we still have to give it our all, for the sake of more people and children."

Yunxiu didn't say much, but instead gently squeezed Ying's palm.

"The children are back, time to eat!" Xiangling's voice came from inside the house. Ying stopped worrying about it; it wasn't something a powerful warrior like her would dwell on forever.

Yunxiu and Ying stepped into their family's dining room. Most of the children had returned. Those who were studying at school or with their master would also come back. Nowadays, most schools in Liyue provide lunch, and Yunxiu wouldn't give her children any special treatment, but they would definitely come home for dinner.

Xiangling would also cook dinner at home every day, while everyone would go to Wanmintang for breakfast.

Because there were more than twenty children, including the three older sisters, they were divided into several tables. The mothers who were at home, Yunxiu, and Tianshu would each watch over one table. Fang Jin and Huixin were usually too busy to be home, so even the three children surnamed Fang would occasionally wonder who their parents really were...

The saying goes that nephews resemble their uncles, and these few people do bear a resemblance to Yunxiu in some features. However, Yunxiu herself also looks very much like Tianshu, but not so much like her mother. She didn't inherit her mother's distinctive features.

"Is Sister Liuying still on the moon today?" Xiangling brought over a plate of Tian Shu meat, then sat down and served herself some rice. Looking at Yunxiu, she said, "It seems like she really likes that place. She often travels in outer space. She even took me flying there once last time, but it seems a bit... strange?"

"Mom said she'll be back tomorrow, it seems she still has some things to do today..." Yun Pinghai quickly swallowed the two pieces of meat in his mouth, then picked up a large mouthful of Yan Gang Sanxian and said, "But it's not surprising that Xiangling's mother isn't quite used to it, even I'm a little unaccustomed to that kind of environment..."

As the son of the Grammer Knights, Yun Pinghai's talent is indeed quite good. He was born with the strength of a third-ring mage. However, his talent is more like his father's. On the third day after his birth, he could conjure fireballs by hand while looking at the magic circle in the room. Later, he showed extremely terrifying talent as a spellcaster. Now he is at about the fifth-ring level. It's not that he can't go higher, but he needs to lay a solid foundation.

Therefore, Yunxiu still planned to let him attend school for a while. After all, children have their own way of growing up, and it's not good to force them to grow too fast. It would be fine to let him go to Xiaoyue's place for extra lessons every now and then. The old man had promised to take in three more sons, and Pinghai was the first child with the talent for spellcasting.

“The Grammer Knights originally fought in space, so you could say that’s their home turf.” Yunxiu smiled and pinched the head of Yun Anzhi, who wasn’t eating properly, next to her: “Eat well. What did your mother do today? She should be home by now.”

"Mom said she's going to the Rebirth Hall branch in Nordkale with the guest priest. Apparently, she wants to build one on the moon too..." The girl, "Walnut Branch," who looked remarkably like Walnut and even had plum blossom-shaped pupils, said with a grin, "Mom is amazing!"

I think your mom's workload is still too light...

Yunxiu wanted to complain, but she suppressed it in the end. It wasn't that she was worried about affecting the child, but rather that this kind of behavior was already a habit for Hu Tao.

Even with a daughter, she's still a big kid at heart, just more reliable when it matters.

However, the workload at the Hall of Rebirth has indeed decreased considerably. With the popularization of a series of necromancy spells and the establishment of the Academy of Physicians, Teyvat's medical level has improved dramatically. After the war, many talismans were converted to civilian use, and their costs were further reduced. As a result, many diseases, both major and minor, can now be treated not only at a low cost.

Just like [wound closure], most wounds don't actually require a level 5 talisman. A level 2 or even level 1 talisman is enough. How low can the cost be? 15 Mora, which is about the same price as a bowl of noodles with an egg.

Therefore, healing talismans quickly began to be promoted in Teyvat and became an important product, which also led to Sugar's treasury continuing to grow hugely - although she spent a lot of money on space alchemy, so it can be said that she spent almost all of it.

However, Sugar also receives a portion of the "Hall of Darkness" dividends. That initial ten million Mora has now become billions annually in dividends, which she has essentially poured into bio-alchemy research. It's said that Sugar is currently using "Langa" to... (The sentence is incomplete and requires more context to translate accurately).

Although it's unclear when the results will be available, it's true that it's very expensive. A large amount of Mora has been poured into this thing like stones being thrown into water, and a considerable amount of Mora has even been consumed as a catalyst.

"Oh! I'm late..." Sugar, with her green hair, hurriedly walked into the dining room. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly sat down next to her son. Before Xiangling could serve her rice, she couldn't wait to ask, "Pingsi, you told me the other day that you almost had an answer to your question. How is it going?"

"Eat first!" Xiangling placed a bowl of rice in front of Sugar and gently shook her head: "Let's talk after we finish eating. Nothing is more important than eating right now."

"Okay...okay, Sister Xiangling." Sugar took the bowl and quickly started eating. Sugar still looked like the same girl she always had, almost unchanged. This wasn't just because of the Kiss of Time, but because Sugar was originally a rather pure person. She spent more than 90% of her time in the laboratory. But while eating, she looked at Yun Pingsi and said, "It's that ideal magnetohydrodynamic equation you told me about last time..."

Yun Ping glanced up at Xiang Ling and saw her sigh helplessly and nod. He then continued eating, "It's about the global well-posedness of the three-dimensional resistive magnetohydrodynamic equations. I've made some breakthroughs recently. If all goes well, I should be able to first overcome the existence and nonlinear stability problems of the equilibrium state under toroidal magnetic confinement geometry. So, Mother, the idea you mentioned last time should be achievable..."

Sugar listened with a beaming smile, while Yunxiu and the others were all incredibly troubled.

This is where the saying "everyone has their own expertise" comes in. Yunxiu is a genius in magic, but she knows nothing about magic. Sugar has now advanced to the level of a legendary alchemist, and her destiny seat is at the level of five colors and one gold. Nine years have passed and she has steadily reached the level of a high-level legendary alchemist. Her understanding and level in this area have reached an incredible level.

Yun Pingsi is even more outrageous. At the age of eight, he has already entered the Imperial Academy and become a student of the visiting professor Abedo, studying under this current demigod alchemist. He is a true super genius.

In terms of talent alone, according to Abedo, he is comparable to Master René. René was initially unconvinced, but after personally examining Yun Pingsi for half an hour, the first thing he did was to compete with Abedo for the disciple. In the end, the two had no choice but to teach together. Under the guidance of these two extraordinary experts, Yun Pingsi now even occasionally teaches a group of students from the Imperial Academy, albeit as a teaching assistant.

It is said that the current Tianji Star is considering whether to break the rules for this genius disciple and make him the first person in the Imperial Academy to become a professor before theoretically graduating from elementary school.

Although Yunxiu thought it was absurd, the current Tianji Star might actually do that. He was originally a professor, and later worked in the Preaching Hall, one of the Eight Gates, for ten years before finally taking over the previous Tianji Star two years ago. He is a genuine person who values ​​academic ability the most. For this genius who has already shown talent far exceeding that of all professors, it is really normal for him to do something.

After finishing their meal, the mother and son continued to discuss it. Finally, Sugar excitedly patted Yun Pingsi on the back: "This might really be feasible! Come with me to space for testing tomorrow. I'll ask for leave from school."

“Tomorrow is a day for family reunion… How about we give the data to the people at the lunar base so they can configure it first, and then we can go together the day after tomorrow?” Yunxiu pondered for a while and said, “Although I’m not familiar with the process, normally, without a day or two of configuration, it’s impossible for this kind of algorithm to adapt immediately. Take a good rest tomorrow; you’re very tired.”

“Okay…” After thinking it over carefully, Sugar adopted Yunxiu’s suggestion. She glanced at her son and said, “Let’s go and organize these now.”

"Sugar, what exactly is its purpose?" Yunxiu asked, somewhat puzzled. "Pingsi has done a lot of research before, but I've never seen you so excited."

Sugar glanced back at Yunxiu and said with a smile, "Why can the Demon God's energy core output power indefinitely? It's like a magic wand, a machine that can endlessly generate power. It's like a magic wand, a machine that can endlessly generate power."

"You mean..." Yunxiu suddenly realized, "Humans can create..."

"Yes, humans can create a true demon god energy core!"

Chapter 466 Dawn Breaks, Light Shines Through the Nine Heavens

However, after the information was sent, the mages and alchemists at the lunar base unanimously agreed that the test could not be conducted until four days later.
