I'm in the Teyvat running group

Ying nodded. She and Asmody had met a few times, and many things were quickly discussed and resolved. Once things were out in the open, there were no major problems.

"Then let's go over and take a look."

The two did not continue flying, but instead slowly walked step by step towards the huge tower. Ying's story over thousands of years made her less eager to end it all.

Yunxiu, on the other hand, knew that it wouldn't be so simple to completely end this matter. He had fought his way here once before, and although he almost succeeded, in retrospect, he realized that he was still quite far from being truly successful.

However, from the moment I came into this world to the confrontation between my several clones in different timelines, and finally standing here to start the final battle with Fanes, it is indeed time to come to an end.

Regardless of what Fanes wanted to say, and regardless of the final outcome, at least he had done right by himself along the way.

This is also a way of living up to the expectations of my friends and partners who have always been with me.

"It has taken nearly forty years... to finally reach this moment."

"Whether or not this can end today, I believe you are the one who can end it all."

"There's no need to be so fixated on ending it. Fanes wanted to end everything once and for all, which is why he left behind such a huge mess..."

"But we will eventually end all of this, just as we ended the Grammer civilization, ended Kanria, and ended the flood war."

"We have reached the first destination of our journey."

Chapter 547 Old Stories, New People, Reflections on the Rest of My Life

"But we don't know who's waiting for us at the end, since we don't even know what Fanes looks like."

"Perhaps similar to Paimon? Paimon is Koytar, so Koytar's appearance should not be too different from Fanes'."

"A trinity, huh? But even trinities don't necessarily look alike. Strictly speaking, I also have a trinity form, but in reality, there are still quite a few differences between us..."

“There’s no difference. You’re all the same.” Ying blinked. “Although I don’t know how others see it, we really do see you all the same.”

I really don't understand how you people differentiate between them, but I've come to understand one thing...

Yunxiu scratched his head. Although he had lived with his wives for a long time, he often didn't understand what they were thinking. Or rather, he might not have truly understood them all... although that was the norm.

The environment of Sky Island is quite similar to that of the Sky Temple, with the only exception being the terrifying temperature and perceived pressure. Yunxiu could feel that the temperature was definitely in the range of three or four hundred degrees Celsius, which is far beyond the tolerance of most humans. Even people at the Genshin Impact level would probably not be able to withstand it unless they cultivated ice or water elements.

He looked at the strange light paths and components around him and said with some doubt, "These things, are they all heat dissipation products? I can feel the heat coming from them."

“There’s a theory that Fanes is a robot born from AI, and that it came from my spaceship, but I never expected that there would be such a thing on my spaceship…” Ying thought for a moment and said, “If that’s true, then these might really be large computing matrices that maintain its existence, which does require computing power and heat dissipation.”

“It’s strange. The Aru in the Spirit Realm and the Crimson King’s Tomb, and even the World Tree, are products with extremely high computing power, but I haven’t seen any need for any computing power settings.” Yunxiu looked at the dozens of pillars: “Simple light path and rune calculations should not generate too much heat. What is generated is mainly waste, distorted and mixed energy, which usually needs to be purified once and reused. But this has nothing to do with heat generation. It is true that chaotic energy itself is very destructive.”

“Strictly speaking, the technology of the Spirit Realm comes from the Void, and the technology of the Void is related to Aru. Aru’s technology comes partly from Sky Island… and much of it also comes from angels, so theoretically the technology should be of the same origin.” Ying also felt the temperature: “If that’s the case, then it can only mean that the computing mechanisms here are indeed under a very heavy load.”

"Perhaps this is his way of healing or... maintaining his own existence, so the temperature only rising this much might be a good thing."

Yunxiu shook her head. They still didn't know Fanes' true identity, let alone how these things were created. Moreover, after breaking through that ring of defensive facilities, there was no real defense or obstruction. They traveled very quickly.

Before long, we arrived at the core tower, from where we could see directly into the interior.

He gently placed his hand on the tower's entrance, and the door officially opened, revealing the interior: a strange building with almost nothing visible inside, exuding a distorted aura.

A faint burning smell emanated from it, and the temperature here was noticeably higher.

Stepping inside, one can feel an even more terrifying temperature on the floor. Although this terrifying temperature has no effect on the two visitors, this place is indeed no longer suitable for human habitation.

"It should be at the top of this tower." Yunxiu glanced at the surroundings, then picked up Ying and flew up, directly entering the room at the very top. The room wasn't large, and there was no one inside, only an empty seat.

"Did I go to the wrong place?" Ying glanced around, but there was nothing there that made her feel a little unfamiliar.

“I didn’t go to the wrong place. I’ve seen this place before.” Yunxiu wasn’t lying. He had indeed seen this place once before, back when one of his clones defeated Fanes and became the master of this world.

Although it's not on this timeline.

"If he doesn't come out, I'll just destroy this place and rebuild it."

He began to unleash his power, and the enormous energy fluctuations impacted everything around him. The massive elemental force stirred up an energy storm, making the environment even more chaotic and disorderly.

Ying stood by with her arms crossed, watching. She was quite used to Yunxiu's style.

"Stop... I don't want to be your enemy."

"So you've finally decided to come forward. How about we have a chat?" Yunxiu chuckled as she heard a voice pop up in her head. "If you can answer my long-standing questions and concerns, I wouldn't mind sitting down and having a real talk with you."

"We have nothing to talk about."

"Then I have no choice but to continue. I think this is definitely the most reasonable option right now. At worst, I'll just leave this world."

The voice remained silent for a long time, seemingly assessing Yunxiu's actions, judging what Yunxiu would do, and searching for information about Yunxiu.

Finally, the voice continued:

"What exactly do you want to know?"

"I just want to know some things that have been puzzling me, like... who exactly are you? And what's your connection to Ying?" Yunxiu smiled. "And also... who is your biggest enemy, the one who makes you so radical?"

I don't want to answer you.

“If that’s the case, then we can only continue to fall out, but I think you definitely don’t have as many backup plans as I do.”

"...You really are a ruthless person."

"This isn't the first time I've heard such comments."

"But my advice is that you should still communicate with us properly."

"I know your style, and I've seen a lot of things you've done... so I can't completely trust you."

You have no choice.

The voice fell silent for a long time before finally managing to utter a weak sound.

"You can go and see first... that way, when it's time for us to really discuss things, we can actually talk."

After he finished speaking, beams of light appeared in the space, displaying various images and telling one story after another.

Yunxiu quickly saw the first scene in front of her, marked with the number: TTD-0583

This is a scene of angels imparting various information and technologies to the world. Yunxiu recognized the angel as the goddess of flowers, Marikata. She held some seeds in her hands, and these crops kept shimmering in her hands. Several seeds quickly transformed into various strange shapes.

A primitive human sat in front of a cave, holding an infant in his arms, with several men, women, and children of different appearances behind him.

"what is this?"

“This is your tomorrow.” Marikata pressed the seed into the soil, and in a few breaths the seed broke through the soil, sprouted, grew, and headed, becoming a wheat field ready for harvest.

The moment people's hands touched the rice stalks, the stalks instantly transformed into glistening grains of rice, falling into his hands. He looked at the child in his hands, staring intently at the grain before him: "This is... what tomorrow feels like?"

"This is what tomorrow feels like. I will teach you how to plant."

The angel produced more grains in her hands, which took on various shapes. She knelt down and began to explain and educate the people there one by one.

In the distance, several angels descended upon various places. Dressed in cloud-like garments, the angels imparted all sorts of knowledge, enabling the people here to begin living a different life.

“Maricatta…is she the later goddess of flowers?” Ying looked at the scene of the angels imparting knowledge and said with some emotion, “Although I don’t know where this is, the angels do feel very kind to me.”

“She was an angel who was willing to die for humanity, and she was the first angel I knew to have died completely… though she wasn’t the first in the timeline.” Yunxiu sighed. “However, almost all angels are willing to die for humanity, just like in the final battle led by Koitar.”

Soon, Yunxiu turned her attention to the second act, which was numbered TTD-0867.

This scene is set on the battlefield of Kanria, where the Abyss Rift, like a vertical scar, tears from the center of the earth to the top of the sky, its edges writhing with black flames.

Countless demons are pouring out of the rift in an endless stream. The seven gods who are trying to plug the gap are already exhausted, and some of them are even about to transform into their true forms to begin a final battle.

A figure opened his eyes from the very center of the Nata Night God Kingdom. His dragon horns were broken, and his body seemed to have been forcibly stabilized by a powerful force. His robes could not reveal his figure, and behind him was a staff with seven-colored dragon scales.

"Go!" With a swift shout, the staff transformed into a streak of light and flew towards Inazuma. Seeing the staff fly away, he seemed to sigh with relief and stood up: "It's time."

“Are you really going? Even if you don’t go, that person should still be able to solve everything in the end.” A voice rang out from beside him: “Besides, even if you go, she may not thank you. She’ll just see you as a kind person.”

“I’m not doing this for her, or even for Teyvat, but for myself.” The figure chuckled. “I’ve waited for over five thousand years since that war, just for this moment, to save more of the people I care about… including you, of course.”

"If one day I need to find myself... or rather, if you are yourself and never come back?"

"I will come back someday, and you will know when that day comes."

The figure stretched out its body, and in an instant, a huge light burst forth from its body, transforming into a stream of light that rushed through a crack and instantly reached the sky above the battlefield.

Seeing the astonished looks on the faces of the gods before him, he waved his hand and immediately began to gather his magic power and magic array. Looking at Zhongli's expression, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I think we have met before. Of course, I am also your child... Let us meet again at some point in the future."

Without saying a word or making any unnecessary movements, Long Yunxiu's body began to disintegrate in an instant, unleashing a super spell at the cost of his life!

Karthus's Divine Art!

Chapter 548 The Final Battle (1)

"Karlsathon Divine Art... what kind of spell is this exactly?"

"A spell developed by Karthus, an archmage from another world, should strictly be considered a legendary thirteenth-ring spell that has never appeared before." Yunxiu looked at the powerful abyssal force summoned by the Ascension Spell and said with some sadness, "Karthus did not consider the impact on the world itself before using this spell, which led to the collapse of the entire world."

“But I see you still used it. I remember you should have other spells as well…”

"It wasn't until my clone actually stood there that I understood what was going on. The essence of the Karthus Ascension Divine Art is a key force that can leverage the entire world. The void power can only be neutralized or closed with void power, but to master the primordial power of the world, this spell is necessary... Of course, the Karthus Ascension Divine Art actually requires a series of other materials, so the Prayer spell was used here to forcibly skip the preparation steps of the Ascension Divine Art."

"And what about the clones?" Ying looked at Yunxiu's body: "Completely annihilated?"

“Of course it returned, and it was also the key to suppressing my bloodline later.” Yunxiu moved, and a dragon-shaped phantom appeared behind him: “The moment he turned into a seal in the timeline, he returned to my body. Of course, the Dragon Scale Staff was not there. This was kept in Serania’s hands after she used it to help suppress Inazuma’s calamity.”

Yunxiu has not yet achieved the unity of the three corpses. Although his power has almost reached the pinnacle of this world, he can completely suppress Fanes. Even if Fanes and Nibelungen joined forces, they would probably still be no match for him.

But the final opportunity is still missing, as if something is still lacking in his destiny.

The two turned their attention to the next scene, numbered TTD-0999.

It was in the spacious hall of the Temple of the Sky. Chong Wan was sitting with a woman, drinking tea, and standing next to them was a woman with long gray hair.

Yunxiu and Ying were familiar with these people. The woman drinking tea with Chongwan was Luoying, Yunxiu's mother, and the gray-haired woman standing there was Asmodie, the ruler of the sky.

Luo Ying's hair shimmered with a hint of silver-white light, giving her an eerie appearance. This was a glint of silver in her hair, a subtle, almost otherworldly quality. Her hair was styled in a way that was both elegant and delicate, and her features were subtly shimmering. The hair seemed to possess a unique, almost otherworldly quality.

Yunxiu inherited his mother's talent, but it was sealed, which is one of the reasons why he could analyze the Myriad Laws Record and use various spells without any difficulty.

"Are you sure? Yun Qing is indeed a good person, but I think... after all, he had a wife and a daughter before. You can marry him and not have this child."

Luo Ying did not answer immediately. She looked down at the scroll and text in her hand. Yun Xiu recognized it as the complete "Collection of Prayer Songs of Zhongbei" and some of the texts seemed to contain images of herself.

"My bloodline... will kill me."

"But my child will survive, and he will become the one who connects everyone."

Luo Ying opened the Zhongbei Prayer Song Collection, stroked the strange, large book, and softly read aloud:
