I'm in the Teyvat running group

The pure energy circulated slightly around Yunxiu before entering his body. It didn't bring any attributes or perceptions, but it instantly cleared Yunxiu's ears, allowing him to hear strange sounds.

"Human," the giant ram spoke slowly, "I sense a different aura emanating from you compared to the humans of the 'White Night Kingdom.' You come from the outside world."

“Sir, I do indeed come from the outside world, and I wish to reach the summit of Helios.” Yunxiu’s words were automatically translated into a strange language and reached the giant sheep’s ears: “May I learn some important information from you?”

The giant sheep didn't say much, but slowly glanced at the people behind Yunxiu, especially staring at Funina for a long time.

Whether it was a misperception or if Funina really did have some secret, Yunxiu actually saw a hint of satisfaction in the sheep's eyes!

Just as he thought the giant sheep was about to do something, it simply nodded, exhaling a breath that condensed into a strange rune that landed in Yunxiu's hand: "Give this to the newly born 'Lord of Water,' and he will give you the answer."

The newly born "Lord of Water"? Most likely it's Navelette...

Yunxiu put away the rune, about to ask further, when she heard the giant ram speak slowly again: "I sensed the aura of 'Time' on you. May I have a look?"

"You mean this?" Yunxiu took out the comic book and placed it under the giant sheep's eyes. "But you can't see everything like this,"

"It's alright."

Suddenly, the patterns on its body changed, and it resonated with the pages of the book, forming a huge, strange magical rune. In just a few minutes, the text and images on the comic book pages disintegrated as if they had been erased and quickly disappeared!

The words and images formed clusters of black runes, which converged into a small dot and were then thrown into the giant magical rune, disappearing completely.

"this!"

Yunxiu stared in disbelief at the scene, a scene that was nothing short of terrifying!

Soon, the entire magical rune and dot disappeared completely, and the surrounding energy was almost completely drained. The giant sheep seemed to be in a state of great weakness, and the whole sheep lay down.

“So that’s how it is…” The giant ram uttered a sound of relief, returning the book and a strange object to Yunxiu, saying, “Please accept this item… Go now…”

Yunxiu was about to say something more, but the giant sheep had already closed its eyes and lay there like a stone statue. Helpless, she put the things away and left with the others.

An hour after the group left, the giant sheep slowly opened its eyes. However, unlike before, this time its eyes held a complex expression similar to that of a human.

"So... this isn't the first time we've met..."

-----------------

Yunxiu, of course, knew nothing of this. As he pondered, he played with the item the giant sheep had given him.

The comic book had indeed been completely turned into blank pages. Yunxiu carefully flipped through them and found that there was nothing left on each page.

What the giant sheep gave him was something that Yunxiu was very familiar with, but it was precisely because it was so familiar that it puzzled him.

It was the same coin he had obtained from Kaeya in the Wind Dragon Ruins. The obverse had Cecilia flowers, and the reverse had twisted, strange runes. Yunxiu hadn't discovered the secret of the coin at the time, and even after studying it for a long time, he still hadn't found it.

He even tried to develop spells to identify it, but still failed. You have to know that Yunxiu's spell development ability is comparable to that of a legendary peak expert, which is simply abnormal.

Yunxiu took out the coin that Kaiya had given her from her storage bag and examined it carefully again. The only unusual thing was the twisted and strange runes on the back, which were somewhat different from the original.

Aside from that, the only difference might be the serrations on the edge of the coin. Yunxiu counted them clearly: Kaiya's coin had 44 serrations, while the one she had just received had 42.

But that doesn't prove anything...

Shaking her head, Yunxiu suddenly realized that this seemed to be the words her future self had said!

"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 words on the book inexplicably disappeared from the magic circle, and the giant beast lay there as if it had lost all its strength, giving itself a strange coin.

Isn't this a "trace of the timeline"?

As for why Kaeya has...

It's perfectly normal for Kanria to have such coins, because based on my own speculation from my previous life, Kanria is very likely a "future built on the past!"

Kaiya has many more!

It seems there's another reason to go back to Mondstadt, or at least to contact the two brothers at Dawn Winery...

"Once I figure out the principles of the void, I'm determined to develop WeChat..." Yunxiu couldn't help but complain.

"What WeChat?" Fu Ningna's big head suddenly popped up, startling Yunxiu.

"Um... it's a communication method, is there something you need?"

"Get up! The last part of the Great Sun Palace is going to fly up!"

Oh...it seems we've arrived.

Yunxiu flipped herself off the back of the pack animal with a somersault, and could see the Great Sun Imperial Carriage without even looking up.

But only when you stand up and look at the huge magic circle at the bottom can you truly feel its enormity!

Chapter 132 The Solo Dance of the Water Singer (Second Update on Monday)

"Speaking of which, Funina, which is bigger, this thing or the Crimson King's Tomb?"

"I'm not sure if it's bigger, but this one is taller." Funina thought carefully for a while, seemingly comparing it to the Crimson King's Tomb in her memory, and after a long pause, she said uncertainly:

"It's not some kind of great law, is it? Can you imagine anything more twisted, complex, and deep than the interior of the Crimson King's Tomb?"

“Um…Mello Petersburg?” Yunxiu said uncertainly, “Although it’s built underwater, I remember Melo Petersburg being very large and very deep…”

"It seems so... but I've never been there."

The two were still chattering about which was bigger when they saw Ying and Paimon walk directly to the huge pillar and stare blankly at the wall of the Great Sun Palace.

It seems... Ying hasn't learned to fly yet, and Paimon would also have a hard time flying that high.

Helpless, Yunxiu took out her staff and cast a flight spell on everyone. She then lured the pack animals into her storage bag before leading the way and flying onto the Great Sun Imperial Carriage.

If we start counting from the actual base, the height of the Great Sun Imperial Carriage isn't too terrifying. Yunxiu estimated that at his and the others' speed, it would take them less than a minute to fly from the bottom to the top of the Great Sun Imperial Carriage.

This enormous building is about 10,000 meters high, and together with the mountain that forms its base, it is about 17,000 meters high, which is almost twice the height of the highest mountain on Earth.

Perhaps because of the abundant energy around them, Yunxiu and the others did not feel any lack of oxygen.

The closer they got to the core of the Great Sun Imperial Court, the stronger the presence of energy became. There were even various ghost-like things that had become "pure energy" and appeared. However, no matter how they tried to communicate, there was no response.

Yunxiu even used the [Contract of All Things] destiny ability, but all she got were strange sounds and responses, which were almost worthless.

"Rather than calling this the very top of the Great Sun Palace, it's more like a laboratory..." Ayaka Kamisato couldn't help but sigh, "Even though Abe no Yoshihisa was framed and imprisoned here, did he still need to keep doing research and development?"

"Human evil truly far exceeds our imagination..."

Thinking of all the twisted humans involved in the series of missions at Yuanxia Palace, Yunxiu wasn't surprised at all by the mess they made there. In fact, to put it more wickedly, perhaps even the later-twisted Abe no Ryoku was involved...

Walking up the steps, they soon arrived at the final gate, which had several rune patterns on it. Yunxiu quickly checked it and found that it was a gate reinforced with three locks.

"Can we force it open?" Yunxiu asked Funina.

She glanced at the gate, walked forward, fiddled with it slightly, then drew her sword and stabbed it against the wall before turning back and shaking it vigorously: "It's possible, but once it's forcibly opened, I'll hardly have the strength to fight anymore."

Ok……

The group had no choice but to try to crack the three locks.

The first problem was a peculiar math problem, but it wasn't a big problem for Yunxiu. With his research skills that directly doubled his intelligence bonus, he quickly solved it.

The second obstacle was a series of traps, several of which were nested together. The most difficult part was finding the password for the traps. However, this was not a big problem. Although the identification difficulty was as high as 40 points, Yunxiu activated the Unrestricted Talisman and forcibly identified the password.

"The final obstacle is... the energy avatar that defeated the Great Serpent Orobars!"

Just as they finished reading the line of text that popped up from the mechanism, the door in front of them suddenly opened, leading them into a huge hall, a space that was a full hundred meters long, wide, and high.

In the very center of the space was a twisted, strange dragon. Its upper body was human-like, holding a huge, strange branch in its hand, while its lower body was a completely twisted and coiled snake. The aura emanating from its body had already surpassed that of an ordinary legendary being!

"This is……"

Yunxiu threw out a check, and her expression turned ugly.

Because of the huge level difference, and the absence of the Unrestricted Talisman this time, Yunxiu's inspection showed almost no key stats, only the name, health points, and two skills, but that was enough to terrify him!

Yunxiu finally understood why Yueji, even though she was about to reach the Legendary level, had such a hard time dealing with Bache, which had just broken its seal. She also finally understood just how big the gap was between Legendary and those below Legendary.

No wonder Tsukihime needed two outrageous artifacts from those movies to dare to fight against Ba Che, who was far stronger than her...

After Tsukihime is equipped with Nagisashi no Inahi and Masatsukami no Mikoto, she can deal 30 to 40 million damage with a single full-power attack, but she can't even cut a single Bacha. Although Bacha was definitely not as strong as the phantom of Orobas at that time, even with only one-third of its strength, it still had hundreds of millions of HP!

Even though Yue Ji dealt over 100 million damage, and both artifacts had instant death and percentage-based damage effects, she only managed to put Ba Che into a critically injured state. This was still a Legendary Peak with incomplete combat power!

"No wonder the Emperor can create a shield with a thickness of tens of millions of points that makes him immune to 90% of the damage without even using his full strength..." Yunxiu muttered to herself, "Does that mean we'll never be able to get in?"

Although the immense energy within the Great Sun Imperial Carriage formed a barrier, protecting them from the corrosive water, they all saw that the crucial key was inside the energy-formed body, and it was impossible to retrieve it without defeating it.

"Oh dear, it seems I, the big star, have to step in." Fu Ningna laughed as she looked at everyone's unpleasant expressions. "That's right, how could Inazuma be unclear about Fuchishita-no-miya's feelings?"

"You are... Lady Fucarus..."

“This time, the price won’t be something that can be solved simply by eating a few meals.” Fukaros lightly tapped the diaphragm and jumped down.

"Be careful……"

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—

The filthy black water sensed her presence and rushed towards her frantically. The massive amount of corrosive water hissed against the energy membrane, but it was firmly blocked by a water ring around Fukaros!

"Roar—!" The phantom of Orobas charged forward with a strange coral branch, and the surge of water it created almost swallowed her up immediately!

"Hehe...that's not elegant~"

With a light touch of her toes and a flick of her wrists, Fukaros dodged all the attacks with an elegant dance step. Then, her body drew a graceful arc in the water, her fingertips tracing through the void as if plucking the strings of space. A pure and strange water elemental array appeared directly around her.

"The curtain falls, let's dance!"
