Didn't you go to Teyvat to earn money to support me?

It was just four hours earlier, during his match against Skykirk.

Shen Liang realized that the timeline he had jumped back to was too short.

What can he do at this time?

By now, lightning is truly dead!

No, we have to keep going.

Shen Liang performs another World Tree jump.

next moment.

It was pitch black all around. He was hanging by his hands, tied to a cherry tree. The little doll and the little fox were doing their best to untie him from the tree and carry him to the bed.

“He’s the older brother you can’t resist.” Yae no Miko licked her lips and looked him up and down with a grin.

"He is an older brother who cannot resist," the general said calmly.

"Hmph, you're always the one trying to bully us. Even tigers have their downfalls and dragons have their moments of weakness."

"Humph."

"Don't mimic me, you foolish general! You'll support me from behind later, hmm~ I need to go first..."

This is Lei's sanctuary, and Shen Liang instantly realized his position. He also immediately recognized that this was an opportunity to change things.

"Stop playing around! Call Master over!" Shen Liang shouted immediately, urging his two younger sisters, "Right now, I need to talk to Lei Yingdian!"

"How many times have you been saying you're looking for Ying these past few days? Give up, Ying won't come to see you." Yae no Miko raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "But brother is quite bold, actually calling him by his name. Aren't you afraid Ying will beat you up?"

Shen Liang was extremely anxious, and just then Lei Yingdian actually appeared.

Shen Liang was overjoyed, "Master, I..."

"How did you suddenly get such a serious injury?" Lei Yingdian interrupted his question, her delicate brows furrowing in suspicion.

Shen Liang was stunned. He suddenly realized that he had not returned to his body from this historical period. His body was still the one that had exerted extreme effort when Kanria was destroyed.

The massive consumption of Honkai energy had already caused him to show crimson aftereffects, his temperature had exceeded the warning line of 60 degrees Celsius, and his fiery blood had begun to boil.

Shen Liang only realized this pain belatedly!

He hadn't considered the consequences of his previous battles, so his current aftereffects were more severe than ever before. By the time he came to his senses, he was on the verge of collapse!

Lei Yingdian gritted her teeth. She didn't know what she was thinking. She exchanged a glance with the puppet general, a helpless yet resolute look on her face, and turned her head away!

So much time has passed, and she has made up her mind.

“Liang’er, for your blood-burning illness, the stronger and more resilient the woman, the better she can provide for its treatment, right…”

She couldn't continue speaking because Shen Liang had vanished from her eyes in an instant.

She was stunned.

"That matter is urgent and requires expediency. Although we are master and disciple in name, for Liang'er's safety, Master cannot refuse..."

The next moment, Shen Liang, clutching his burning heart, was forced to end his transcendent transformation!

The aftereffects were so severe that he no longer even had the strength to maintain his superhuman state. Naturally, unleashing combat power surpassing that of a top-tier demon god came at a price! Ultimately, he wasn't using elemental power but Honkai energy. In a world without Honkai energy, this was tantamount to going against the entire world!

His blood was burning all over his body, and even the hair on his skin was curled up from the heat. The blood of the saintess was boiling in his body at a temperature exceeding 100 degrees Celsius. For someone whose physical body was merely beyond that of an ordinary human, this intense internal heat made him lose his senses.

"No...no! You can't faint!"

Shen Liang was acutely aware of the aftereffects of his condition. He absolutely had to experience this pain while fully conscious; he couldn't afford to lose consciousness. As long as he was awake, his body's self-healing abilities would prevent him from dying, but if he passed out, his brain might be burned out!

Of course he wasn't afraid of death. As Eve, he didn't care how many times he died, or how many years he could waste! But there was no second chance for what he had to do!

At this moment, we are still in the Pure Land of One Heart.

Shen Liang suddenly bit the neck of the girl in front of him, pinning her to the ground, not knowing which witch she was.

The witch screamed, and the other young witches waiting for their turn to take their turn were also terrified.

"Your Highness? Your Highness, there's no need for this. We are all priestesses left to you by Lord Saigon. Have you forgotten, Your Highness? There's no need to rush..."

Shen Liang forced himself to give in with all his might, but the aftereffects were too strong. His craving for desire was almost escalating into a bloodthirsty craving. His breath was hot, almost scalding the girl beneath him, but he still said in a ferocious voice, "Sorry, I... need help."

The witches fell silent, and then a faint, strange smile crept onto their faces.

"What are you saying, Your Highness?"

“Serving the gods is the duty of Narukami Taisha.”

"Although I knew that this was our duty as priestesses, I never expected that Your Highness would also have such a yearning for mortals."

"It may not be pleasant to say, but Your Highness is indeed the god who is closest to Inatsume-no-Tsuru."

"I don't know what Your Highness is trying to do so hard, but it must be something very important."

"I am but a humble willow, yet I hope Your Highness will not despise me."

Of course, mortals cannot serve as the antidote for demons, but fortunately, the Fox Palace had considered this from the beginning. The priestesses have studied the "Book of Yin and Yang Harmony" for a long time and have never acted alone.

The red and white robes are lightly undone, and the beauty is as lovely as jade. But the tender embrace of the young girl can only last a moment, as Shen Liang once again initiates the World Tree Leap.

In the imperial court, Lei Yingdian was about to crown him, formally acknowledging his title of "Crown Prince".

—No, it doesn't change anything. At this point, Lightning is already in Canria!

At the Tenshukaku racecourse, the entire army was in preparation, and Shen Liang delivered a mobilization speech.

—No, we need to go forward!

The shadow faces the mountain, offering sacrifices to comfort the soul.

--wrong!

The owner of the fireworks shop in Hanamisaka...

--wrong!

Upon learning the devastating news of Fox Palace's death.

--wrong!

wrong! wrong! wrong!

Not this time period! Not this time period! Not this time period!

Jump after jump, jump after jump! Shen Liang lost count of how many times he jumped, pondering the perfect moment to stop the situation from happening.

When will we finally find a way to fool history?

The aftereffects that had just been relieved returned, which was inevitable. During the battle of the even milder layer of rock, he lost control to the point that it took Mistelin and Rosalind to restrain him, but this time, a group of human witches only managed to delay him for a few hours!

But he couldn't waste time; he had to keep jumping between different timelines to find that opportunity to deceive!

jump!

A comforting warmth enveloped him, and Shen Liang instinctively embraced the person in his arms.

A lighthearted yet helpless laugh rang out.

"How old are you? Why do you still like to act like a child?"

In the hot spring pool, the beautiful and noble purple-haired woman felt the little wolfhound gently wrapping his arms around her waist from behind, the tenderness of their skin touching, and couldn't help but laugh and say, "Why are you hugging me so tightly? Mother won't run away."

Shen Liang was stunned.

"What's wrong? Liang'er, you're so hot..." Lei Dian sensed something was wrong, turned around, picked up the boy, and looked at the red veins on his body. A hint of confusion flashed in her beautiful eyes. "This... this sudden burning blood? I'll go call someone."

However, she couldn't break free from Shen Liang's arms, and the boy hugged her slender waist tightly.

His heat was no problem for Raiden Shin; his overheated body temperature even began to surge wildly, causing the hot spring water to bubble up. Or rather, the hot spring water was actually cooling him down, but the amount of steam rising was far greater than the steam from the hot spring itself, to the point that it blurred Raiden Shin's vision.

"Still alive, that's great..." Shen Liang murmured to herself, hugging him even tighter.

"Liang'er? You...you need me to call for you..." Lei Dianzhen pressed Shen Liang's forehead, feeling the extraordinary heat, and became even more anxious. But she was a very intelligent person, and she was stunned for a moment when she heard Shen Liang's words.

"Talking in your sleep? Liang'er, did you have a nightmare or..." Her beautiful eyes flickered a few times, then she suddenly lowered her voice, "It's from the World Tree, isn't it?"

Shen Liang didn't speak, but gently pressed her against the edge of the pool. Even though he had to grit his teeth to suppress the pain, he didn't use force, for fear of hurting Lei Dianzhen.

The only thing he did with all his might was to hug her, to embrace the woman who was still alive and had warmth.

Looking at the boy who so desperately craved her embrace, Raiden's beautiful eyes softened with even more sorrow. "Is that so? Just as the Flower Goddess predicted... I'm already dead, aren't I?"

"No." Shen Liang pressed her down tightly, gritting his teeth, "No."

“I know, Liang’er, you came here to make a change.” Lei Dianzhen smiled. “Just as I expected. I knew my Liang’er wouldn’t let me down.”

Shen Liang's eyes gradually turned crimson.

Raiden looked at him with a smile.

“I know that the only way to change this history is to deceive it from the very beginning.” Shen Liang suppressed his voice to avoid screaming and tried to maintain his last bit of clarity. “The only way to prevent the Empress Dowager from dying and thus change the course of history is to be indistinguishable from death.”

"Uh-huh."

"But this would cause a historical inconsistency. First, the Queen Mother's body has no power and cannot cause large-scale environmental destruction or damage to Kanria."

"Uh-huh."

"So I will fabricate a fact that my mother's body was protected by alchemy and was not destroyed. As for Kanria, I will destroy it myself."

"Um……"
