I'm in the Teyvat running group

As a demigod, Skirk was certainly well aware of these things, so it was impossible that he was looking for her to kill the prophet.

After eliminating all possibilities, only one conclusion remains: it's not murder, nor is it likely to be rescue; so it's highly probable that they want my help to find something.

It can't be that he just likes me and wants to marry me, right?

While signing autographs, Yunxiu pondered what she could trade with this being from beyond this world. Money and divine artifacts had lost their meaning at this level. The value of anything from beyond this world also mattered. As for manpower, she wasn't as short as she had been when she killed the Clown. If she were to truly fight the Prophet, she'd rather bring Yixiao Daotian and Li Qinglian along…

In terms of pure attack power, Li Qinglian is stronger than Silky. Li Qinglian's swordsmanship is a true swordsmanship of humanity. Like the Emperor's contract, he will become stronger as long as someone practices the swordsmanship. This is why he has become much stronger after sleeping in the form of the Locust Butterfly for more than two thousand years.

Now, with the four demigods of Liyue attacking together—Xiaoyue using spatial control, Yunxiu using defensive stripping, Yixiao using guiding the sky to resist monster taunts, and Li Qinglian using full-force attacks—there's basically no demigod they can't kill. Even if it's a true god, they're confident they can at least escape unscathed.

After finishing her book signings, Yunxiu returned to the magistrate's residence. Yueji went to the castle tower to pick up her daughter. Anxi, Anyan, and the others were also playing in the castle tower. Yunxiu was already praying that her children wouldn't get into any particularly naughty behavior...

Ayaka Kamisato was having tea with Skirk in the backyard, with a huge cat behind them. This was one of Yunxiu's disciples, the legendary cat demon Kiryo, who had grown six tails.

"Make room for me." Yunxiu patted Qiliangliang's head. After opening her eyes and glancing at Yunxiu, she immediately moved back a little, making room for the cushion that was covered by her paw pads, and even swept her big tail in a very obsequious manner.

Yunxiu sat down leisurely, smiling as she looked at Silky, who was enjoying tea and snacks with Ayaka Kamisato, and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you probably want me to help you find something, right? It's been a long time since we last met."

“Yes, I heard that you built a super-large scientific device. The Guardian told me about it, and I want to use it once…” Skork said quietly, “I can exchange it for a piece of information and a related solution. It will definitely be worth it for you.”

"Well, it must be very difficult for you to operate alone. Each operation of that thing requires three or four thousand people working together, plus about ten subordinate commanders." Yunxiu scratched his head, finished his drink in one gulp, and couldn't help but admire Ayaka Kamisato's thoughtfulness.

He poured himself a bottle of soda, and added just the right amount of ice.

"Then I'll trouble you to send these people again to help me activate it once more."

"I need to know what I'm supposed to do."

“I need to find the coordinates of this. Alice told me that your large scientific device can calculate the coordinates of planets and their destinies based on information.” Skork stretched out her hand, and a strange, abyssal-colored but completely different kind of power appeared in her hand. She looked at Yunxiu and said, “This is an energy carried by people. It should contain a lot of their information. I need you to deduce their destinies and corresponding coordinates from the information.”

"This is..." Yunxiu waved his hand, and the ball of energy was in his hand. After sensing the energy inside, many thoughts quickly flashed through Yunxiu's mind. This thing was indeed a variant of the Abyss, but it was much milder than the Teyvat one, and could even be easily manipulated.

“This is the power that destroyed my homeland; I’ve kept a bit of it,” Skykirk said calmly. “I need their coordinates.”

Yunxiu nodded. It was highly likely that Skirk wanted people to pay for their blood debts, but that wouldn't be too difficult for her. After all, it was rare for a star system to produce even one demigod, and it was already quite good if a legendary planet produced one legend.

The reason Teyvat can produce so many is simply because this world is a bit special. You have to know that even in a large universe like Star Iron, there aren't many Commanders. A Demigod is equivalent to a Commander who has the power of a Commander but hasn't received the blessing.

In a normal world, a legendary peak-level being would definitely have the ability to easily destroy a planet, and a demigod could easily destroy a plane or a large galaxy.

"So, what shall we exchange?" Yunxiu nodded. The cost of opening PRIME once was acceptable to him, and although Rene had been constantly opening and testing it recently, the data collection speed was faster than expected. Giving one of his services to Silky was feasible.

Of course, it does require that many people to run a single event, and these costs are naturally borne by Yunxiu.

“You have a wife who is a traveler from another world who has descended into this world.” Skork looked at Yunxiu and said softly, “If I remember correctly, although Ying has obtained the power of the seven elements, her power is not perfect yet. Compared with your strength, she is only slightly stronger and is far from having the super combat power of someone who once roamed the starry sea.”

"I know that, do you have a solution?"

“I don’t have it, but I know where it is.” Skork hesitated for a moment, then seemed to have made up her mind before speaking: “There is a temple in Mondstadt, the temple where the former Sky Ruler Asmodian once lived… If I’m not mistaken, there should be a part of the Sky Ruler that he took from your wife there.”

"As for the Ruler of the Void, she has now left the temple and her whereabouts are unknown, so..."

"So you mean we can bring Ying into that temple and then let Ying complete it?"

Yunxiu was extremely surprised to hear this news!

It wasn't that he hadn't guessed what the Sky Regent had done to Luminosity; in fact, it was almost inevitable. After all, Asmodian had imprisoned Luminosity for a full five hundred years, so it was perfectly normal for him to do something. But to be able to extract something from Luminosity was definitely not normal.

Even disregarding the final outcome, how did her status manage to achieve this?

“I can confirm that this news is absolutely true, and I can even tell you its opening date this year.” Skirk handed a peculiar little pendant to Yunxiu and then said, “There should be about five months left. You can enter with Ying then. It’s a very interesting place… at least I think so.”

Five months, that means November...

It seems this happened after I left the Immortal Spirit Royal Court. I'll find some time to talk to Ying about it.

“Okay, I agree. When do you need to use PRIME? I’ll have to ask René and arrange one for you soon.” Yunxiu put away the little pendant and smiled at Silky, saying, “The next test should be next Tuesday, which is the day after tomorrow. Do you want to stay in Inazuma for a few days?”

“No need, I’ll go there myself when the time comes.” Skirk finished his tea in one gulp, then casually opened a spatial rift and disappeared.

Watching her departing figure, Yunxiu couldn't help but sigh. It wasn't because things had exceeded her expectations, but because she had encountered completely unfamiliar information. She hadn't had this information when she traveled back in time, around the time when Colombia had just regained her powers...

Since the Void Reign has a temple, it must also have life, death, time, and space. The four ruling powers must not have been randomly assigned. So what are the temples and situations of the other ruling powers?

Having already launched the astronomical observatory into space and established a base on the moon, coupled with years of continuous construction, theoretically, even without the advantage of prior knowledge, there shouldn't be anything I don't understand.

However, the Temple of Asmodae appeared so quietly, it seems that there are more secrets in this world than I imagined.

"What is my husband worried about?" Ayaka Kamisato brought over a plate of snacks and placed it in front of Yunxiu, smiling. "Although I don't know exactly how powerful the Ruler of the Sky is, from what you've said, he seems to be an extraordinary figure."

"The four rulers of life, death, time and space are beings above the Seven Gods... so they should be roughly equivalent to Lord Thunder God." Yunxiu pondered for a moment. The statement that only eternity is closest to the laws of nature is not an exaggeration. After all, lightning was truly the first bolt of lightning to be lit at the beginning of the world. Although it had not yet taken human form at that time, its inherent strength was indeed very strong.

No matter what, the Four Shadows are merely shadows of the principles of Heaven, not the principles of Heaven themselves; this difference is still very significant.

"An Yue, you were the intern Thor for a day today, how did it feel?"

"I feel so sorry for my grandma. I don't want to be Thor anymore."

"Really? Mom also thinks being Thor isn't very interesting. Actually, being a general is already quite troublesome..."

Outside the door, Tsukihime led the "Five Beautiful Girls Team" in one by one, with An Yue, who was in the lead, wearing a strange crown.

"Dad! Ayaka Mom! I was the Thunder God for a day at the Castle Keep!" An Yue ran up to the two of them quickly, proudly touching the crown on her head, and said, "Grandma gave this to me, but she told me to return it in a few days."

Yunxiu's eyelids twitched involuntarily. This was yet another top-tier divine artifact. Although it was nothing to Lei Dianzhen, it was still rather absurd that someone would casually give it to a child to play with...

"Oh, right, Grandma also asked me to tell Dad something." An Yue glanced at Yue Ji, nodded to her mother, and continued, "Grandma wanted me to tell Dad that this year is the last chance to enter the temple, and her time to return has come!"

Yunxiu nodded quietly; this was the answer he could have guessed.

This is normal.

It would be highly unusual for Thor to not even know that Skyker was running around on his own turf.

Chapter 487 Suspicion of the Mastermind Emerges

I stayed in Liyue for two more days, as usual, taking care of the children and handling a lot of other matters.

For example, while dealing with matters at the ancestral hall, Anzhi also disposed of quite a few of the strange little trinkets her mother had bought. Pingxi sneaked off to the dance academy to cosplay as a teacher for two days without being discovered. Finally, he found a non-existent person among the students' unusually positive reviews and finally found Yunxiu's place...

Yunxiu initially wanted to offer some compensation, but the dance academy stated that hiring a seven-year-old child was illegal under Liyue's laws, but they were willing to "pay" Pingxi to transfer to their school...

Although it sounds outrageous, this kind of thing is actually quite common. It's just that Pingxi himself refused. For him, it was just a hobby. Pingxi actually put most of his energy into cultivation. Inheriting his parents' talents, he is a water-type enchanting mage with considerable potential. Although it's not surprising that people from this school are good at dancing, he clearly has no intention of developing in that direction.

Finally, after reluctantly agreeing to occasionally teach one or two classes, the dean left overjoyed.

"To be honest, these kinds of things have been happening more and more often since the children started going to school..." Yunxiu complained helplessly to Nilu, who was standing next to her. After the children started going to school, the children in the family were all very talented. In addition, she had a lot of offspring and was one of the few demigods who could easily find a place to live, so all sorts of strange things kept happening.

However, most of the time it's good news. Occasionally a few An Yao or An Yue might act up, but they usually won't cause any major problems.

“Honey, according to the people of Liyue, this is called ‘getting a good deal and then complaining,’ but why would Pingxi do something like this…” Nyru smiled as she looked at the group of children in the room, and said thoughtfully, “Although he does have some interest in dancing, he shouldn’t do something like this.”

"It's said that An tide instigated it. The two siblings have a good relationship. An tide also went, but because she looks so much like Fu Ningna, she was discovered immediately." Yun Xiu was speechless as she looked at the trending topic "Former Water God's Daughter Appears" which was already at the top of the trending searches on Lingjing.

"...This is quite an unexpected turn of events."

After dealing with this matter, Yunxiu quickly went directly to the Genesis Center. A few days ago, after making a deal with Skok, Yunxiu had already agreed with Rene to start an extra experiment today.

Skok's request seems simple, but it is actually a very troublesome matter, mainly for two reasons. First, the fate of the entire universe is completely different from that of Teyvat. One of the main reasons why Teyvat can be verified and studied is that its fate is locked. Fanes collapsed all the possibilities of Teyvat, which did cause the flooding and amplification of the Abyss, but this does not mean that the external universe is the same.

Therefore, in the outer universe, even if PRIME can lock onto the coordinates of time and space, it is unlikely to give a direct answer; at most, it can only provide a range of possibilities.

Secondly, every world in the Abyss exists, it's just a matter of how many. Teyvat's false heavens and the way fate is anchored bring immense pressure from Abyss invasions, but also lead to a certain degree of insufficient understanding of the Abyss among the Teyvats. In fact, due to various invasions and combinations with other factors, many peculiar Abyss structures have been born in the universe, and at least Rene doesn't have much information about these.

However, on the other hand, it is precisely for this reason that the abyss of Teyvat is closest to the "Primal Abyss," because it is pure malice born without being integrated with various forces and external factors.

So although Skok's request was somewhat troublesome, Rene still provided a suitable solution. The lunar base already had a giant astronomical observation platform and equipment that was constantly searching for information from the outer universe. Based on the strength of the signal and its comparison with the native abyss, there was an almost complete sample library and corresponding method.

Compressing the energy of the abyss itself and causing it to explode will generate a peculiar gravitational wave. As long as it corresponds to a signal in a certain direction, the location of this strange energy can be easily found.

When he arrived, Skok was already standing in the main control room, watching the energy flow begin to compress.

With repeated testing and gradual improvements to the PRIME device, the compression time can now be further reduced to about five hours, and its durability has also been improved. Although maintenance is still required after each experiment, the troublesome nature of the maintenance itself has been greatly reduced, and most of the time only routine checks are needed.

Of course, after every three or four tests, a complete shutdown and inspection for a day is still necessary. Even with so many top mages and alchemists gathered, it is still too difficult for such a large scientific device to operate normally.

"Having found this... what do you plan to do with it? Revenge?" Seeing Skok staring intently at the ball of energy in the center, Yunxiu couldn't help but ask, "Although I don't know how many years have passed... even if you find it, it's unlikely you'll find those people. Perhaps they've already been killed?"

“I don’t know, but I’m sure of one thing: I seem to have lost interest in revenge.” Skok spoke quietly. “But I want to see what the reason or origin of all this is. The moment these love and hates were born out of nowhere, there might have been something very wrong with them.”

“My master once told me that the malice of this group was very pure. They slaughtered an entire planet, simply because they wanted to gain our people’s ability to adapt to the Abyss… it’s that simple.”

"I want to see what kind of world this is before I decide whether to destroy it."

Yunxiu nodded. This was not unexpected. When a person is truly faced with the moment of revenge, their heart must be extremely complicated and conflicted. This does not mean that she gave up revenge or the idea. Rather, it is a very simple and straightforward thought: revenge is of course possible, but then what?

And then nobody knew.

Some people might enter the revenge spree without a care in the world because of that moment, while others might hesitate because of it. Skok is clearly the latter. When she starts to think about the reasons and purpose of her revenge, she enters this way of thinking. This is why she wants a coordinate, but doesn't know what the future holds, and instead decides to wait and see.

The six-layered nested magic array, with a diameter of 1,500 meters, began to rotate violently. Unlike the previous rotation, this time the innermost ring rotated in the forward direction, while the others rotated in the reverse direction. The energy, compressed to the extreme, was not spherical, but rather long and thin like a wrung-out towel. The energy itself was compressed into an extremely thin energy band, emitting violent energy fluctuations.

Detonated by the sugar, the energy band expanded into a peculiar long strip, which was tightly compressed at the very center of the formation.

The generated information was quickly recorded and compared with various information stored in the lunar base's monitoring station. Soon, a message was delivered to Yunxiu.

“Based on our own search and information exchanged with Okotavia, the power of this abyss should be on one of the two planets, S-227 or S-268.” Yunxiu handed a report to Skok and said, “It’s also possible that it’s on both, but Okotavia has never been to those two planets. She only caught a glimpse of them from afar during her journey from S-273 to other planets.”

“I’ll take a look.” After receiving the information, Skok seemed much more relaxed. She put the report into her storage space and then said, “I will ask that guardian for help… Of course, I will also try to maintain contact with this place while I’m here. During the time I leave until I return, I’ll leave Ajax in your care.”

“No problem, he was originally a member of our chamber of commerce.”

Skok nodded, opened a spatial portal, and disappeared, most likely heading to the False Heaven to find Alice.

Interstellar travel is no easy feat, and setting up a teleportation array is even more impossible. Therefore, it's highly likely that she traveled by spaceship. Whether it was Kleiner or Okotavia who helped her is another matter entirely.

The time Yunxiu went out before, because it was relatively close, she directly traversed the universe with her physical body. This is an ability that most legendary powerhouses have. However, the problem with doing so is that she can't fly fast enough, and naturally, she can't go far enough. Although there are no teleportation arrays in the universe, there are natural wormholes that can be used. However, even most legendary powerhouses don't have the ability to use them. Spatial magic might be possible if it's strong enough, but even someone like Alice can't do it.

He had also considered whether to go back to Earth to take a look. Alice knew Earth's coordinates and had been there many times, but Yunxiu had no relatives there and no reason to go back, so he never went.

However, objectively speaking, Earth is not without its rare treasures, such as rare metals. These things don't exist in Teyvat. Most of the metals and materials in Teyvat are manifestations of energy condensed to the extreme. For example, amber is the rock element condensed to the extreme. If you are strong enough, you can even turn it back into a pure element. Of course, most powerful beings cannot do that.

"Alright, now that this is done, let's prepare to move on to the next compression test." René waved his hand, indicating that they should resume work after the inspection. Looking at Yunxiu, who was deep in thought, he asked, "What? Do you and she have a past relationship? But as far as I know, she's not 'your type,' is she?"

“No, I was thinking about another question…” Yunxiu thought for a moment before telling Rene her doubts, but she put it in a more tactful way: “In the current universe, is it possible for us to achieve a true final victory by contacting or helping other planets? As far as I know, many worlds in the universe have encountered the problem of the abyss, but Teyvat’s is just too severe.”

“I see… But the problem in Teyvat might be more serious than you think.” Rene, of course, knew what Yunxiu was thinking. After thinking for less than thirty seconds, he gave a reply that surprised Yunxiu quite a bit: “You once told me that your angel wife speculated that one reason why the Teyvat Abyss disaster was so severe was that it had anchored spacetime, turning all the parallel universes into abysses…”

"That's right, that's why the Teyvat Abyss is almost overflowing."

"Have you ever considered this?" Rene held out his hands, drawing two circles in the air before speaking, "Wasn't the initial 'pruning,' or rather, 'destroying other futures,' precisely his personal intervention that completely severed the development of the Teyvat dragons?"

"Teyvat should have a future for dragons, shouldn't it?"

"So, is the birth of the Nibelungen in the Abyss truly the fall of the Nibelungen? Or is it because the reason for the birth of the Nibelungen itself is that the fate of all the dragons that were cut off was combined with the Nibelungen from beyond the heavens?"
