I'm in the Teyvat running group

“Yes.” Yunxiu put her arm around Ayaka Kamisato and said, “Abe no Yoshihisa brought the White Night, which gave the whole country a distinction between day and night. But once things settled down, the heroes were forgotten, and the villains seized power and used puppets to imprison Abe no Yoshihisa.”

However, if Teyvat is also a huge abyss palace, then who is Abe no Yoshihisa...?

Yunxiu thought silently, and then tightened his grip a little. Shenli Linghua felt his strength and gently placed her hand in Yunxiu's palm.

The warmth of his palm made Yunxiu momentarily lost in thought, but his resolve quickly hardened—even if the truth really was Abe no Ryouku, what did it matter to him, who was determined to save the Teyvats anyway?

When we're really going to be on a new, bigger ship, we won't be short of one more person, will we?

Yunxiu gently squeezed her hand back, smiled, opened her storage bag, and led Shenli Linghua into her small space: "How about we have some Liyue's special steamed buns today?"

"I want the spicy one!" Funina shouted as she followed in, "And I also want the Jueyun Spicy Snail Jerky that Xiangling made!"

"Then who will wash the dishes?"

"Husband, leave it to me."

Although they traveled like tourists, Yunxiu and the others arrived at the library in Hazama no Machi on the afternoon of the second day.

As before, there are also handwritings left by Paimon and Ying here, but this time it's different, this time it was Ying who wrote it herself.

"Yunxiu, I have found my brother's trail. After you have finished investigating the library, please come to the Everlasting Night Temple to meet me! I will wait for you here for three days!"

Chapter 128 Please, My Other Self! (First update on Sunday!)

After a quick check, Yunxiu found that the time was written this morning, which means that Ying must have been gone for about half a day.

At their pace, it would take them about two days to travel from here to the Temple of Everlasting Night. That means I only have half a day. Finding those key documents shouldn't be too difficult in half a day...

But as soon as he entered the library of the White Night Kingdom, he found several books neatly arranged on the bookshelf closest to the door, with Ying's handwriting still visible below them.

"I have placed several of the documents you mentioned here. This book, 'The Past of the Sun and Moon,' mentions a special case. You should take a look, but don't take it away from here."

Ying is indeed a person who is rough around the edges but meticulous at heart...

Turning the pages of "The Past," Yunxiu began to read carefully. Compared to the game, this book contained much more information, but most of it was still within Yunxiu's expectations, as it only supplemented some details of the game.

The existence of Istaroth, the battle between the Four Shadows and the Seven Dragon Kings, and the story of the Year of the Burial Fire were not much different from his own memories. The only unexpected thing was...

In the war records of the "Year of Burial Fire", Yunxiu seems to have discovered the figures of the Emperor and a mysterious man. According to the description, this mysterious man seems to be the strong man who was sealed away during the war to destroy the country of Kanria.

“No wonder he patted the Emperor on the shoulder back then,” Yunxiu murmured to herself. “But the year of the Burial Fire was at least four or five thousand years ago. How did he survive to this day?”

Before the Year of Burial Fire, the goddess of the White Night, Serene, did indeed descend. In addition to what the dragon-horned girl Serania said, there was also a record of the goddess of the White Night bestowing four divine artifacts.

According to the records, the four divine artifacts are "Teardrop", "Book", "Grinding Mill", and "Doll". Yunxiu raised an eyelid. If this is the case, "Teardrop" should be the one below the Abyss of Layered Rocks.

If I'm not mistaken, the "treasure mill" should be the "three treasure mill" from Nordkale. According to records, this artifact can convert matter into stable energy and is a relic left behind by the "Golden City of the Far North".

As for the "doll," Yunxiu's biggest guess right now is that the Raiden sisters probably obtained this technology. Judging from the fact that Tsukihime's transformation into a legendary figure was almost indistinguishable from a human, this doll body is definitely worthy of being called a super artifact.

Yunxiu currently has no clue about the "books," but she suspects they might be related to Sumeru. Although there are many related "books" in the history of Teyvat, very few items of the super artifact level have appeared...

Moreover, judging from the current situation, it is very likely that each super artifact has spawned a related civilization.

The "doll" is likely a product of the civilization that gave rise to the Abyss Palace, but it eventually ended up in the hands of the Thunder Sisters. The "teardrop" is a civilization under the giant rock abyss, while the "treasure mill" is the golden city in the far north.

After flipping through the pages of "Past Events" to the end, Yunxiu finished reading the remaining books one by one. Most of them were not much different from what she had imagined.

"Once I finish reading the last book, I can take a break and set off again tomorrow morning..."

When the last book was brought out and Yunxiu opened it, her pupils immediately widened in shock!

The book's cover and contents looked much the same as those in the White Night Kingdom's collection, but when Yunxiu opened it, she discovered that it was actually a comic book!

This isn't a Teyvat comic, but a real comic from the world of Yunxiu Plains!

This is a comic that Yunxiu has read many times, specifically the Snow Woman and Swordsman arc from the "In/Spectre" series.

This comic tells a rather twisted yet beautiful story: a snow woman falls in love with a human, has a child with him, but refuses to start a new relationship. Instead, she entrusts her offspring to a young swordsman who also falls in love with her, and then commits suicide.

This manga is completely different from the original volumes; it tells the entire story of the Snow Woman.

However, the story takes a completely different turn at the end, with the snow woman choosing to marry the young swordsman and spending a very happy time together.

“No…” Yunxiu noticed that before the end of the comic, each page seemed to have some parts that were completely different from the original work, and between these differences, there were always some strange patterns.

He carefully pieced together the different patterns on each page, forming a strange seal pattern.

"This is……"

I directly submitted an appraisal, which turned out to be a question-and-answer system. After answering one question, I could see the information left inside the seal.

"Which character in this world do you think is most relevant to the snow woman in this story?"

Could it be a hidden meaning in the Yuki-onna story? But I don't quite understand, as there shouldn't be a similar character in this century.

If we're just talking about swordsmanship, the Raiden sisters are probably unparalleled in the world, but there's no story of them committing suicide for love...

Wait! The answer might be right there in the riddle itself!

"My answer is, Ying!"

The seal quickly dissipated, revealing a peculiar mark. Yunxiu probed it with her spiritual power and saw a strange image.

The person in the image was none other than himself!

However, he looked much more weathered and haggard, and it was obvious that he was extremely powerful. Yunxiu glanced at him and found that he was almost covered with divine artifacts, and each one was far superior to the few she had...

The location he was in was clearly a strange throne, and the background clearly indicated that it was on Sky Island!

He didn't look at Yunxiu, but instead kept talking to himself on the ground.

"Transmitting this level of information is too cumbersome, so I could only design this many layers, but I think I could crack it myself."

"You'll only know many things when that day comes, so I can't say too much now, but I failed. Even though, as you can see, I defeated Fanes, she wasn't the enemy."

Not an enemy? This answer was not beyond Yunxiu's expectations, but what he did not expect was that this "future self" could actually grow to the point of defeating Fanes. After all, from his current understanding, this was almost a high-level divine power.

"Time is difficult to reverse as a whole, but it is not entirely impossible. However, the price to pay is indeed quite heavy, even for me now."

"The timeline is not necessarily immutable. I think you have already discovered many traces. As for how these traces were created, you will soon find out the first one after you get this book."

"The divine oracle of the White Night Kingdom is not wrong, but even the true gods cannot solve all problems..."

In fact, when Yunxiu saw the book "Fiction," she had already guessed who left the message, especially the question. The reason she answered Ying was very simple.

Since Yuki-onna and Hibari share the same voice actress, the answer to this mystery lies right there in the mystery itself... but no one else would know that.

"Zhongli's identity is indeed not that simple, but he is a friend of ours, not an enemy. You can trust him."

"I'm not one to enjoy being a riddle-maker. Beware of the Abyss's Will. It's alive, but I'm not sure if it's Nibelungen or someone else. Even now, I don't have the ability to completely destroy it."

Yunxiu also knew that the will of the abyss was very good at bewitching people. At least judging from the information of the Five Sinners and the reaction of the prophet Viserfnir, the will of the abyss might even have bewitched more than one person at a time.

All five sinners have developed various problems; Raelil is almost insane, the prophet and the sage are not much better off, and Rhinedoth has even swallowed the Reign of Life...

"In the end, I rejected many girls along the way, and now I'm all alone... Isn't that a bit pathetic?"

"I always overthink things. I wanted to resolve the crisis in Teyvat first before getting caught up in personal matters, but it seems time is no longer giving me that chance..."

"So, please... if it were me, I could have come up with a completely different ending!"

After saying all this to himself, the great Yunxiu waved his hand lightly, and all the images disappeared. But before he disappeared, Yunxiu saw him sitting on the throne, with four clones of different shapes gradually appearing around him, though they had a somewhat unreal, illusory quality.

So... I've already traveled that journey once, only to fail...?

According to his own account, time was ultimately reversed?

So who is now sitting on the throne of Heavenly Principle? Could it be myself?

"Impossible." Yunxiu quickly rejected the idea, not because he didn't believe in his own abilities, but simply because, based on his personality, he really couldn't bring himself to continue using the former "Four Shadows"...

He was absolutely confident in himself on this point, because he was such a petty person.

After putting the other books away and sealing the comic book in her storage bag, Yunxiu didn't think about anything else for the time being.

I had already speculated about most of the information, and this time I was just confirming it by using the future "Dayunxiu" theory.

As for matters of romantic love, Yunxiu's initial thought was indeed to avoid such things as the first time he held Xiangling in his arms, but he quickly gave up on that idea afterward.

According to Yunxiu's guess, it is highly likely that after awakening in her previous life, she quickly chose to go out for training, and may not even have taken the initiative to meet the Emperor. Otherwise, why would she specifically mention the Emperor?

In this life, he awakens to find Xiangling first, and is then gifted with an imperial artifact. His farewell to Xiangling unexpectedly triggers a cutscene...

Therefore, it would be wishful thinking to ask Yunxiu, who has already eaten meat, to go back to eating plain white rice soup.

It's actually that simple. If you've never been exposed to it before, you won't take it seriously.

But once you've experienced it the first time, it becomes a regular occurrence when you encounter it again.

Stepping out of the library, Ayaka Kamisato and Funina had already prepared dinner. Yunxiu wasn't surprised at all that Ayaka Kamisato could cook, but Funina...

"Miss Funina's skill level is quite good," Ayaka Kamisato said with a smile. "At least she didn't cause any trouble while cooking, and she even came up with a lot of very creative ideas."

Emotional Intelligence

Seeing Fufu's ahoge standing on end, Yunxiu didn't say much. After all, there was no need for him to argue with a little girl who was already willing to help out...

After enjoying a hearty meal of Inazuma's signature curry rice and resting for the night, the group set off again the next morning. Since their appointment with Ying was approaching, they didn't go to Daiichi no Mikoto, but instead quickly made their way to Tokiya Rei-ji Temple after just passing through.

Even though they were traveling thousands of kilometers away from the Great Sun Imperial Palace, the group could still see the enormous building. Fufu quickly finished drawing several pictures of the Great Sun Imperial Palace in her notebook.

During the operation, Yunxiu often saw the Great Sun Imperial Carriage light up and then go out at the same time. She knew that this was probably Yingmei clearing the level and searching for treasures.

On the morning of the fourth day, after walking for two full days, they finally arrived near the Temple of the Night.

Upon arriving near the Temple of Eternal Night, several beams of light clashed repeatedly in the distance, accompanied by massive energy fluctuations, indicating a fierce battle was taking place.

The enormous sound could be heard thousands of meters away, and the surging elemental power allowed Yunxiu to instantly perceive that it was Ying's power.

After traversing the layers of rocks, they were shocked to see Ying engaged in a fierce battle, surrounded and attacked by a group of Abyss Apostles!

Chapter 129 Brother and Fufu's Big Discovery (Second Update on Sunday!)

"fluorescent!"

Yunxiu and the others jumped down and unleashed a wide-range attack!

Yunxiu simultaneously condensed four drops of Tear of Return to the Void in both hands, and with a flick of her wrist, the four droplets covered the four Abyss Apostles in front. A dense net of grass elemental energy condensed on their bodies, and in an instant, the Disintegration spell exploded and disintegrated, turning the Abyss Apostles into ashes in a few seconds.

With a dance, Fu Ningna summoned dozens of water spirits of different shapes and sizes. In addition to a few that Yunxiu was familiar with, there were also a large number of characters that she had never seen before!

They split into several teams, each attacking different Abyssal Apostles and monsters, and one monster after another fell down.
