Cross through Teyvat, and you'll become stronger by taking the hits!

Another 70,000 planets fell silent in the darkness.

The primordial soul and flesh took shape, and the white-haired, dragon-winged youth crawled out of the petri dish.

"...Holy crap, there's no air in here, I'm suffocating!"

Upon waking, the primordial youth issued his first divine decree.

Thus, all living things in the starry sea have needed to breathe to survive.

"Huh? Who's speaking? What's that narration?"

White, yes, white—the most dazzling seven-colored light of creation.

"?"

"Gotcha! What are you doing with that random voiceover?"

Just then, Lu Li pounced over and grabbed a ball of white light hiding behind the chair.

Although it looked like a ball of white light, when Lu Li grabbed it, he found it to be soft and squishy, ​​feeling like he was rubbing the belly of a fat giant.

"I was wrong, I was wrong! Host, please don't eat me! I'm just a newly born little system!"

The white light struggled in Lu Li's hands, but it could not escape Lu Li's clutches.

"System? What kind of system are you? Why are you here?"

Lu Li looked at the little thing in his hand with a puzzled expression. When he squeezed it with both hands, it deformed, just like a slime.

"This system was created to assist the Child of the Stars, and has been waiting here for your birth. Now that you have finally been born, you are my host."

The white orb of light excitedly emitted a soft sound.

"...Wait here for my birth?"

"Then who is he?"

Lu Li scratched his cheek, then raised his hand and pressed a button on the instrument next to him.

After waking up, Lu Li had some additional memories of operating these instruments in his mind, which seemed to have been passed down to him by the Nibelungen.

As the button was pressed, the huge ice crystal that had previously made room for Lu Li slowly emerged from the ground.

"Huh?"

"How come there are... two Children of the Stars?"

The white orb of light was clearly bewildered.

Then it struggled out of Lu Li's arms and flew to the huge ice crystal to take a closer look.

"Forget it, I don't like kids. I'll just stick with you, host!"

"Boss, someone's impersonating you here! Take me away quickly! I don't eat much, so I don't cost much!"

The white orb clearly looked down on the fetus inside the ice crystal, then snuggled up and hugged Lu Li's leg like a slime.

"..."

Upon hearing what the white orb said, Lu Li suddenly had a strange guess.

I never had a system when I was a child. Could it be because I kidnapped this white orb of light...?

"Never mind... Speaking of which, where's Laoni? Have you seen it? It's just a little dragon about your size."

He lifted one leg and shook it, shaking off the white orb that was holding his leg. Only then did Lu Li look around and ask in confusion.

"It has already voluntarily become the leader's nourishment."

The white sphere of light answered truthfully.

"...?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Li realized something was wrong.

"The birth of the eldest brother required the material of this world. The little dragon sacrificed its own soul as the material for the eldest brother's soul, and used the original flesh and blood left here to create a new body for the eldest brother."

The white sphere of light continued its explanation.

"Lanni, you..."

"They didn't even tell me about this..."

Having confirmed that there was no longer any trace of Nibelungen in the vicinity, Lu Li looked down at his hands with mixed feelings.

He never wanted to see anyone die in front of him, even though Nibelungen had actually been dead for a long time, but now even his soul and consciousness were gone...

"System, can you trigger a time-space shield? I want to save Renny."

Lu Li could only look at the white ball of light that had moved closer to his feet.

"?"

"What is the boss talking about? The system is being activated for the first time today, so it doesn't have the relevant functions yet."

It was clearly puzzled for a moment.

"First activation..."

"Look over here, you're from the past system..."

"Fine, I'm going back to Teyvat. Don't follow me. Just wait here for your true host to be born."

Lu Li shook his head; he decided to go back to Teyvat first.

The funeral pyre should be over by now, but he needs to return to Teyvat to borrow the power of time to return to his own time.

"Hey, boss, wait for me...!"

Seeing that Lu Li was about to leave, the white ball of light quickly hopped after him.

Lu Li had some memories of the Nibelungen in this region in his mind, and he quickly found the passage to leave the birthplace of the stars and returned to the red starry sky.

As far as the eye could see, countless planets within the red starry sky had already been affected by the darkness.

Aside from Teyvat, for any civilization in the universe, this red starry sky is a nightmare, and perhaps one day, a dark shadow will descend upon their own planet.

But faced with the ultimate darkness that affected the entire universe, Lu Li was powerless and could only close his eyes and use the power of the Nibelungen to sense the location of Teyvat.

Although isolated by the False Heaven, Nibelungen, as a consciousness born alongside the planet, could still sense its presence.

"Boss, wait for me... I don't want a child host!"

After Lu Li flew away, a ball of white light rolled and rolled in the boundless starry sky, following the path Lu Li had taken.

In the pitch-black universe, countless stars lay silent.

A lone white sphere of light rolled through the sea of ​​stars, following the traces of Lu Li's aura, for an unknown period of time.

"Boss! Wait for me!"

boom--

Sound cannot travel in outer space, but when a spaceship swept past and the white orb of light was instantly knocked away, it sounded like a huge muffled thud.

"Hotaru, did you bump into something?"

"It's probably a meteorite from space. The set hibernation time is almost up, brother, hurry up and get ready."

"All right."

After being knocked away by the spaceship, the white orb continued its relentless march toward Teyvat.

However, by the time it arrived in Teyvat, it was already some time later.

However, it finally found a host after it grew up.

So it transformed into a white treasure-stealing weasel from Nordkalley, secretly followed the Fools' ship, and went with them from Nordkalley back to Winterhold.

……

Nordkalai.

Columbia's disappearance had a significant impact on everyone's plans to fight the Lunarians.

Their original plan was to give Columbia the power to fight the Lunarians, and then banish her to the Moon Gate.

The problem is that although the Moon Gate is a prison for the Moon Goddess, it can only be opened with power related to the moon, and even Daines Reeb could not open it.

Just as the Moon Hunters were about to escape, they still couldn't find any trace of Columbia, so they had no choice but to find a replacement.

Ying possesses a special physique that can contain all power, and also has the lunar marrow of Hengyue within her body.

So she became the person chosen to replace Columbia.

After the Moon Gate opens, Dainesreb will help maintain its existence, at which point Luminous will need to force the Lunarians through the Moon Gate.

"Feel sorry……"

Hearing about the last-minute change in plans, Columbia, who was sitting to the side but unseen by anyone, spoke apologetically.

Ever since that day when she felt herself getting weaker and weaker, she woke up one morning to find herself in a state where no one could see her and she couldn't touch anyone.

She tried calling out to Ying and the others, but received no response.

As the chessboard trapped the Moon Hunters for the time they could hold them, the plan to exile them officially began.

Columbia followed them anxiously, but the combatants had all been pulled into another space, and Columbia couldn't see anything from outside.

She was so ghost-like that she couldn't even eat, so she just sat bored on a rock and waited quietly.

"Boss! Boss!"

As Columbia waited quietly, she suddenly heard a strange calling.

Turning her head in confusion, she saw a white treasure-stealing weasel carrying a small backpack running towards her.

"Little White, what are you doing here...?"

"Hmm, you can see me?"

Seeing the white treasure-stealing weasel running up to her, Columbia was first puzzled, then wondered why it could see her.

"Of course, boss."

"I'm back from robbing the Northern Bank! I brought you lots of Mora! You can go buy some hot dogs!"

As it spoke, the white treasure-stealing weasel took off its backpack, dumped it on the ground, and with a whoosh, a small Mora mountain appeared in front of Columbia.

"Well……"

"But Lu Li isn't here, so the hot dog doesn't taste as good..."

Columbia didn't seem to care about the White Treasure Weasel robbing the Northern Bank; she just seemed a little down when the hot dog was mentioned.

"It's alright, boss, I even got you this!"

As it spoke, the treasure-stealing weasel placed the backpack on the ground, grabbed one corner of it, and dragged it to the side, emptying out all the contents.

Those were almost enough to cover the entire ground, filled with pinkish-blue, cross-shaped stones...

"Boss, there are 300,000 Primal Stones here, all stolen from passing adventurers. Let's combine them to create an Entangled Bond and get your wife a 6+5 draw!"

As he spoke, the Treasure-Stealing Weasel casually tossed the empty backpack aside.

"I heard my sister-in-law used to like drawing little loli characters. If we draw a few 6+5 little loli characters, maybe she'll come back on her own!"

"...?"
