I'm in the Teyvat running group

"The Emperor's strength and Taoist magic are still much stronger than mine. At least I still haven't completely figured out how to sever the three corpses."

"That old man is indeed unfathomable, but you don't need to be too afraid that you can't catch up. In fact, his strength lies more in his peculiar laws."

"Isn't your law quite peculiar? Of course, in terms of humanity as a whole, stories are indeed not as good as contracts, but even so, it is enough to make your law itself reach the level of a self-generating world."

“Even a world created by laws is not a real world. Your approach of analyzing and understanding the world itself before creating a new world is actually much better.” Anya smiled, but quickly added, “Of course, if your laws can also create a world, then the combination of the two worlds will have an effect far beyond your imagination.”

“In the entire universe, there are very few who can achieve this. Of course… it is already very difficult to create a world of its own.” Yunxiu stretched out a finger, with a peculiar point of light swirling around his fingertip, possessing an aura almost completely different from the world itself: “You see, even I, after acquiring so many technologies and spells, cannot fuse the power of the Void Realm and the power of the Light Realm. I am still quite far from creating a world of my own.”

"Truly remarkable... The Guardian Law has reached its pinnacle to this extent." Anya couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "With just this one law, your defensive capabilities are more than a hundred times that of a mage of the same level."

Yunxiu smiled confidently; Anya's judgment was indeed excellent.

After studying the power of the Void and the Aether, he has begun to transform his elemental power into a unique force. Combined with the advantages of the laws themselves, the bonus of all his defensive skills has soared to 3850%!

This is in addition to another breakthrough in shield-stacking skills.

He is currently protected by a shield of hundreds of billions of units at all times. Even if the improved super light sword cannon were to fire at full power, it would only break off one-fifth of his shield if he did not activate other protective spells.

The Eternal Pure Land and various protective spells further enhanced his defensive capabilities, increasing them more than tenfold, taking him to a whole new level.

Now he finally dares to spar with Mavica and Ray, and even when they are at full power, the two of them cannot break his shield with a single spatial lock.

As long as he can't be killed, he can run away!

Among the seven rulers of the mortal world, Yunxiu can now be called a god of defense!

After all, even his father Zhongli couldn't easily break through his shield. Judging from what the Dragon King Ruotu said, his combat power had already reached the level of a Dragon King who was even stronger than the average Seven Rulers.

Moreover, among the seven dragon kings, he is not considered weak. According to Apep and Tuozi, he is slightly stronger than the first generation Wind Dragon King and Thunder Dragon King, roughly equal to Grass Dragon and Rock Dragon, and slightly inferior to Fire Dragon King Shurkut.

However, the Fire Dragon King's powers are not particularly suited for combat, which is similar to Yunxiu's.

As for how to maximize one's attack spells, unfortunately, there is still no particularly good way.

He upgraded his magic sword to the armed level, but this only strengthened the fixed spells and increased the attributes a little; the actual output did not improve significantly.

Of course, he also developed a brand new spell, [Thousand-Layer Shattering Shield], when facing warriors.

It has a ridiculous name, but it works very well.

Simply put, it's like cutting a shield into hundreds or thousands of layers, like a mille-feuille. When facing a warrior with a move like "Tides of Movement," you can almost achieve the effect of dozens of shields with just one shield.

Of course, the effect on demigods of the level of Yixiaodaotian is reduced by tenfold.

The Law of Force is still too valuable for output.

Even with a tenfold reduction, it increased his chances of being hit by the shield shattering attack to over fifteen seconds in front of Yixiaodaotian, compared to five seconds. Fifteen seconds was enough for him to unleash dozens of life-saving spells.

However, this also shows that Yi Xiaodaotian's strength is still far inferior to that of the top seven rulers. Mavica can probably shatter the shield in about two seconds, but a spatial or temporal confinement can only lock Yunxiu for about one second at most. As long as he keeps his distance, he is not so afraid.

Because his defensive capabilities are getting stronger and stronger, Liyue sometimes uses him as a punching bag when testing equipment and the firepower of new weapons...

Of course, there is still a long way to go before it reaches the self-generated world that Anya mentioned. However, Yunxiu cannot achieve this in the short term, as his ambition is to integrate the power of the Void Realm and the power of the Light Realm.

If he used any kind of pure power, he should have already been able to achieve the point where the laws of the world arise spontaneously.

But whether he wanted to run fast for a while or to reach a higher ceiling in the future, he was very clear about it.

After all, from the very beginning until now, he has pushed the laws and potential to their limits with almost every step he has taken!

The ultimate goal is to surpass and perfectly ascend to godhood when the third corpse is unleashed. This would allow one to leap to a level even stronger than Long Yunxiu's former self, and the fusion of the three corpses would far surpass Fanes.

“Alright, as long as it continues to develop, new cultivation systems and schools will naturally emerge.” Anya finished releasing the stream of light in her hand, and with a smile, she tossed out another book and merged it into the world: “As for what it will become, it will probably be similar to your current system? Your system is indeed one of the most complete systems I have ever seen.”

"Thank you very much. Miss Anya, please feel free to tell me if you need anything, and I will try my best to do so."

"Oh? Let me stay here a little longer. Also, I'd like to go see space and that big sphere. Can you come with me?"

“Staying at my house is no problem, but I think you’ll be taking the space elevator to space…” Yunxiu scratched her head. “As for the Genesis Center, they might be having experiments soon, you could consider going to take a look.”

“The story of Mr. René from the Center of Creation is quite interesting, especially his transformation into a water-shaped phantom in another timeline before finally falling into slumber.” Anya pulled out another peculiar notebook: “Perhaps I could write a story for him and his friends, called ‘The Great Adventure of Narcissus Cross’!”

I have no objection...

Yunxiu sighed and led Anya out. She was staying at her own home recently, so there was no need to arrange a new place. As for going to the Genesis Center and space, Xiaogong was free these days, so she could just let her take her along. Yunxiu could finally spend a few days exploring.

It will be time to go and explore Poheyura once Ying's power has been fully restored.

As for Kong, I've only seen him twice recently, when he came back to visit his nephew for his child's birthday.

However, what Yunxiu didn't expect was that Anya actually stayed here for more than five months, and even spent several family reunions with Yunxiu's family. For a while, she mingled with the crowd, and no one noticed anything was wrong.

Dulin and Abedo also visited the storyteller witch. Anya went to Mondstadt with Dulin for two days, but quickly returned.

Yunxiu didn't care. There were dozens of people eating at home, so one more or one less wouldn't be a big deal. Besides, her mother-in-law already lived here...

After Chong Wan and Shen He returned, they basically lived together. This mother-in-law had an extraordinary enthusiasm for taking care of children and quickly became very familiar with the children in the family. She would even occasionally go to Wanmin Hall to show off her skills. She really never thought of going back to the Shen family or the Chong family.

The only awkward thing was that she was indeed eight or nine years younger than Shen He at the beginning, but after the two got to know each other, it naturally became no big deal.

After being healed by Yunxiu, Chongwan also began to cultivate the magic system. She was originally a genius, otherwise she would not have given birth to a genius of Shenhe's caliber.

In just a few months, it quickly transformed into the magic system, breaking through the barrier of the original god, leaving Shen He completely stunned.

In the end, it was Yunxiu who stepped in and persuaded her to become Grandma Ping's apprentice.

However, during another Lantern Festival, Yunxiu's home welcomed an unexpected guest.

"Your Majesty, how have you been lately?" Yunxiu looked at Empress Zhidong, who had come to visit with Zhongli, and couldn't help but be somewhat surprised: "Could it be that you're also going to imitate Lady Egolia? And then... a scene of the emperor entrusting his son to another..."

"?" The Queen looked a little confused, but she quickly realized: "I am completely different from Ergolia. It is unlikely that I would want to commit suicide in the same way as her, so there is no need to worry."

"The reason I've come to you is because I heard the Emperor say that you're going to Poheyura to find a way to open the gate there and discover the secrets buried within?"

"What I want to know is exactly what my father did there back then!"

Chapter 525 The Fusion of Laws and the Emergence of the Three Corpses

"Although I don't know exactly what that White Tsar did... I am certain of one thing: the Third Adventist and he should not be considered pure enemies."

"Is that so... There's a rumor that the image they saw inside the cocoon was actually themselves, and it's true?" The Empress thought with a hint of helplessness, which made her feel somewhat dejected, but she quickly cheered herself up.

Looking at the Ice Queen, Yunxiu couldn't help but sigh. Zhi Dong had always been on the path of rebelling against the laws of nature, but many times they didn't even know what they were rebelling against.

Legend has it that the White Sand Emperor was born from the corpse of the Ice Dragon King, but perhaps that was destiny...

Yunxiu was somewhat moved, but these feelings couldn't be easily dismissed with a few words, especially at this moment.

He invited Zhongli and the Ice Queen in, prepared tea for them, and then continued, "No one has enough information about what Boheyura is really like, because not many people have been there. As for the stories in the Zhongbei Prayer Collection or other rumors, they may not be complete or true."

“Yunxiu is right… However, your father did not do entirely wrong.” Zhongli took a sip of tea and said quite calmly, “Everyone is opposing the Abyss and that one in their own way. His methods can only be described as radical at most, but they cannot be considered wrong. At least they are much better than Remus.”

The Queen nodded but didn't continue speaking. She didn't have much affection for Remus either. She really couldn't appreciate the Grand Symphony and turning people into stone. Rather, it was probably only Remus who liked this kind of operation.

"Oh? What a rare guest! It's surprising that Your Majesty would come here today." Anya walked in from the doorway carrying a few storybooks and saw the group sitting together drinking tea. She casually put the books down and put them into her own world, then sat down gently and smiled, "It's also rare to see the Emperor. By the way, I heard from the people of Liyue that you can randomly refresh your location. When are you going to refresh it at my place?"

"If I agree, will you write me into the story again?" Zhongli chuckled, but nodded without hesitation: "Your shop is indeed interesting, but where did you get the funds to open it?"

"I don't know. The Chamber of Commerce seems to have quite a few houses, so I just took one."

Yunxiu shook his head; he hadn't even known about this...

He didn't even know when Anya opened her shop.

Yunxiu inquired carefully and learned that Anya had opened a children's bookstore that specialized in selling stories. The most amazing thing was that there were no specific books. Instead, she let the children who came in think of their own stories, and then she would write them down.

As for what to use to pay, the answer is "story" and "dream". As for the money, this store was originally under the Fireplace House brand, a shop that was planned to be renovated to sell teaching materials, but Anya donated a lot of money to Fireplace House.

So the shop was rented to her for free. The Emperor knew about this, but Yunxiu only went out to pick up her children; the rest of the time she was flying around, so he didn't know.

The Ice Queen sat for a while longer before leaving alone. However, she did not return to Winterfall but went to the Mage Association, probably to chat with the old witch J who had recently returned from the cracks in time.

Zhongli, however, stayed behind. He ate a pastry, praised her with satisfaction, and then looked at Yunxiu and said, "Your strength has improved a lot recently. Have you already figured out the way to the third corpse?"

"I really want to ask the Emperor about this... It seems that I've gradually entered a process of severing the Third Corpse, and my strength is increasing rapidly." Yunxiu extended a finger, a special spiritual light floating on its tip, as if something was about to leave her body, but she quickly concealed the light again: "But in any case, my feeling is that the Third Corpse may not really exist?"

“There are many kinds of severing the three corpses, or rather, they can be divided into different forms according to one’s true nature.” Zhongli laughed: “Zibai’s three corpses are the embodiment of emotions, while my three corpses are the manifestation of my status, the celestial stars and earth bones, and my true human form.”

"And your three corpses, as it stands now, are the existence of the 'origin.' The three dragon corpses represent your connection with this world, the three descendant corpses represent your own status, and the last corpse, if I'm not mistaken, should be the corpse of 'humanity.'"

"So that means this corpse doesn't actually exist? Or at least it didn't appear in a normal form?" Yunxiu asked with some doubt, "But I seem to have seen it in the images before..."

“If the original body is destroyed, then the three corpses will also evolve into a new original body. This is also the advantage of the Three Corpses Technique.” Zhongli glanced at Yunxiu: “This means that in that timeline, your original body should have perished.”

Yunxiu nodded, which explained why Zhongli himself rarely achieved the Three Corpses in one state—he had only witnessed it once in his life, when he killed the monster with a spear after returning from the battle in the heavens.

He seems to have triggered something recently, and his strength has indeed increased rapidly. The laws of protection are constantly advancing, seemingly without end, and are gradually beginning to transform into more conceptual aspects.

This is not just due to the combination of the power of the Void Realm and the power of the Light Realm, because he has only achieved it in its initial stage. However, for his current strength, the increase in this progress is actually perceptible! Even without looking at the panel, he can often find that he is slightly stronger than yesterday.

Moreover, although the Law of Protection itself has not reached the point of creating its own world, it seems to be gradually expanding outward, as if it is about to permeate this world.

The backyard of the Wanmin Hall where he usually resides is now being frantically reinforced under the effect of the law itself. Every plant and tree here, and even the air, seems to be filled with powerful divine power.

Yunxiu's wives have all experienced varying degrees of improvement in strength, especially the weaker ones. For example, Ayaka Kamisato and Yomiya have made rapid progress and entered the high-level legendary realm, and their strength is still advancing by leaps and bounds.

However, after the examination, there was no harm done. It was just that once they left Yunxiu's side, their speed of improvement in strength would decrease to varying degrees.

According to Ying's speculation, Yunxiu's laws have indeed conceptualized protection, and everything around them is gradually being transformed into a divine realm. However, Yunxiu's laws are not yet powerful enough to be like the Emperor's laws—capable of transforming Liyue into a contracted kingdom and even influencing Teyvat.

However, it is still possible to influence the area around him. And because of the spillover of the law, the strength of the "own people" recognized by the Yunxiu Law will continue to increase, although there will be an upper limit.

"This isn't a bad thing. It means you might soon 'become a god through humanity.' I encountered the same thing after I created the Law of Contracts and spread it." Zhongli sensed the aura of law around Yunxiu, reached out, and picked up a fallen petal. "And this god isn't really related to the gods of Teyvat itself; this is within your system."

"Of course, if I'm not mistaken, the source of your godhood isn't purely about protection, but rather involves the power of 'order.' This is the feedback you received from promoting order in Teyvat."

"Order can serve as the path to your second law. You can extract it and cultivate it. Establishing order itself is also protecting all living beings."

Order and protection... it seems I'll never be a law that allows me to be truly aggressive in this lifetime...

Yunxiu sighed. Contract reversal can break the contract, but order reversal can only cause chaos at most. It is a controlling law. Although it can definitely defeat a large number of opponents at a lower level, it is not very meaningful when facing opponents at the same level.

Strictly speaking, this definitely made his shell much thicker...

After sitting for a while, Zhongli left, while Yunxiu began to ponder how to extract the law of order. Although it was not surprising that he possessed this law, extracting it was still quite troublesome.

Establishing order itself encompasses many powers in this regard, such as creating a reasonable promotion system, an excellent spell system, and promoting the entry of more people into the system... These are all part of order.

It took him more than half a year to finally separate the Law of Order itself into a separate law, but then he combined it with the Guardian to form a solid Great Dao.

The moment this path took shape, his third corpse was finally successfully unleashed, propelling his strength forward by a significant margin once again.

The entire backyard of Wanmintang has become a place like a "divine kingdom". All beings who enter here and are recognized can have almost invincible power and the concept of immortality. As Yunxiu's Great Dao continues to grow, this area is also gradually expanding.

The combination of order and protection finally allowed his laws to enter the realm of self-generated worlds.
