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

"This...this might be a little inappropriate..."

Lu Li's suggestion made Gan Yu take a step back with all four limbs, and she hurriedly shook her head from side to side.

She is actually considered a junior among the Liyue Immortals. If the Immortal Ancestor is the Geo Archon and the other Immortals are considered first-generation disciples, then Gan Yu can only be ranked as a second-generation disciple.

She absolutely wouldn't even dare to think about beating them up...

"Besides, now that we know Qiqi will be inside... why don't we just not go in?"

Gan Yu recalled what she knew about Qi Qi and made suggestions, while being careful not to let Qi Qi understand what she meant.

"But Fairy Sister, the glass pouch..."

Although she didn't quite understand what Gan Yu and Lu Li were talking about, Qi Qi still anxiously grabbed the fur on Gan Yu's back with her little hands and climbed up to Gan Yu's neck.

"That makes sense. We can't let Qiqi go in and risk her life. How about this, let's split up."

"Miss Gan Yu, you escort Qi Qi down the mountain. I'll go in to gather herbs and also see what's going on inside."

After stroking his chin and thinking for a moment, Lu Li came up with this idea.

With them around, protecting Qiqi's safety shouldn't be a problem, but accidents are inevitable, so it's best not to go in if possible.

However, Lu Li himself was very interested in what was happening inside.

"No, I have to go in too. I know what time it is now. Liu Yun Zhenjun and the others know me, and I'm not here at this time, so I can definitely help if I go in."

Upon hearing this, Gan Yu immediately stepped forward. In the short time that they had been talking, she had already guessed what time it was.

"That's right. One side in the war between immortals and demons consists of immortals, all of whom are acquaintances of Gan Yu. If she goes in with them, the immortals naturally won't suspect anything."

Lu Li began to ponder again.

As for the suggestion to beat up both sides, it was just a joke; he didn't think he could beat that many people.

However, Lu Li did not yet know what the immortals' enemies were.

"That's true, but it's definitely better for Qiqi not to go in, otherwise..."

At this point, Lu Li turned to look at Columbia.

Noticing Lu Li's gaze, Columbia slowly tilted her head slightly to the right.

"Please, little pigeon, take Qiqi down the mountain to a safe place. Miss Ganyu and I will go in and check the situation. Once we've collected the glass bag or finished dealing with things on the mountain, I'll come pick you up."

Lu Li clasped his hands together in supplication to Colombia.

"Since it's Lu Li's request, I agree."

Colombia nodded gently in response to Lu Li's request.

After the distribution was completed, Gan Yu lay down on the snow so that Qi Qi could get off her back.

"Fairy Sister, are you in danger...?"

Guai Guai climbed down from Gan Yu's back, but Qi Qi still held onto Gan Yu's fur with one hand, her little face showing a worried expression.

She really liked this fairy sister who called herself Coconut Sheep.

"It's alright, Qiqi, the immortals inside are all my sister's friends."

Gan Yu comforted Qi Qi and then entrusted her to Columbia.

"Let's go down the mountain."

Columbia skillfully took Qiqi's hand, patted her head, and then led her down the mountain.

"Big sister, is that fairy sister named Gan Yu?"

"Yes, Gan Yu is Coconut Sheep."

"Is the fairy sister really a coconut sheep? Or a qilin?"

"No, it's coconut sheep."

"oh……"

Along the way, Qiqi asked Columbia questions out of curiosity, and Columbia patiently answered each of her questions, whether they were right or wrong.

Qiqi thought this beautiful older sister looked like a powerful immortal, but her style was quite different.

As Columbia led Qiqi down the mountain, Gan Yu took a deep breath, and her originally chubby figure gradually became slender and elegant, transforming into a majestic Qilin.

"Ahem, Mr. Lu Li, this is my true form. The form I changed earlier was just to keep Qi Qi from being scared."

Gan Yu coughed lightly at this moment, looked down at Lu Li and explained. At this time, she was already a giant beast, and Lu Li was not even as tall as one of her legs.

However, just as the Dragon King Ruotu could be shrunk by magic, Gan Yu could also shrink. In no time, she transformed into a Qilin that was slightly taller than a horse, and then naturally transformed into human form.

Seeing this, Lu Li showed a disappointed expression. He had originally been thinking of comparing the fur on Gan Yu and Dwarin to see which felt more comfortable to touch.

"let's go."

Unaware of the disappointment on Lu Li's face, Gan Yu reminded him, then raised her hand and released her immortal power to invade the formation in front of them, opening a passage for them.

Otherwise, only those with sufficient affinity for immortality could accidentally stumble into it.

Although he wasn't afraid of the cold, once he entered the passage and came inside the formation, Lu Li felt as if he had returned from a snowy landscape to a heated room.

"Miss Gan Yu, you must now understand our current situation. So, how much do you know about the great battle within this formation?"

Prioritizing the retrieval of the glass bag, the two continued their ascent to the mountaintop, with Lu Li casually inquiring about Gan Yu along the way.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be a war between immortals and demons."

"Although True Lord Liuyun did not mention that this matter was related to Qiqi, the end of the war between immortals and demons was indeed strange, and no real winner was decided."

Gan Yu observed the mountain range shrouded in the great formation from the mountain path, answering questions as she walked.

"What exactly was the war between immortals and demons? I heard it happened hundreds of years ago. Could it be related to the cataclysmic event of Kanria five hundred years ago?"

Lu Li continued to press for more information.

This is an answer that wasn't in the game in his previous life; at least in the "Moon II" version he transmigrated to, there was no specific text about the war between immortals and demons.

"So Mr. Lu Li knew about that catastrophe. It is indeed related, but not by much. The war between immortals and demons was actually a struggle for the lineage of the Dao."

Gan Yu turned her gaze from the distance and looked at Lu Li.

"A struggle over the orthodox tradition...?"

Lu Li looked surprised; he hadn't expected to hear this word in Teyvat.

"Yes, it is another force in the world besides the immortals of Liyue, which is now known as demons."

"They had never crossed the line, so they were never wiped out by the Emperor until the time of the Calamity of Kanria, when the Seven Rulers of the Mortal Realm rushed to the source of the disaster, and they took the opportunity to attack the immortals."

"Later, for some reason, the war between immortals and demons suddenly ended, and the demons were not wiped out, but fled to uninhabited mountains and forests or foreign lands."

Although she didn't know why she had returned to this time, faced with such an astonishing fact, there was no need to hide the secrets of these immortals from Gan Yu, so she told Lu Li about them in detail.

"I see……"

"Hmm, I can smell the scent of the glass bag. It seems we don't need to climb to the top of the mountain."

Just as Lu Li nodded in understanding, Gan Yu's nose twitched slightly, and then she raised her hand and pointed to the glass bag.

It was a cliff face located beside the mountain road.

Perhaps because the cliff was too steep, it was covered with many glass-like sachets.

"This quantity is more than enough. I'll go down and pick some more."

Looking down from the cliff face, after confirming the number of those glass bags, Lu Li immediately took out the Chigu Sword and tried to fly down.

But before Lu Li could use his magic to make the Chigu Sword fly, the ground beneath his and Gan Yu's feet suddenly began to shake.

boom--

The next moment, the cliff suddenly collapsed, and the two of them fell down together.

"...Now I understand why Qiqi got hurt! This was a trap!"

In a moment of desperation, Lu Li didn't have time to step onto the Chigu Sword. Instead, he gripped the hilt tightly with both hands and used the technique of manipulating objects to make the Chigu Sword carry him upwards.

The cliff collapsed so suddenly. If Qiqi had gone up the mountain alone to try and pick the glass pouches...

Gan Yu was also startled, but quickly recovered and immediately steadied herself by stepping on the void.

For a Qilin, being able to run through the void is considered a basic skill.

"But no matter what, I finally got my hands on the glass pouch."

After adjusting his position in mid-air, Lu Li released the Chigu Sword from his hand and let it fly to his feet to lift him up. Only then did he go over and take off the glass bag that had not been affected by the impact, and temporarily store it in the Glass God's Eye.

"Now that we've obtained the glass pouch, should we go back to find Qiqi?"

As Gan Yu spoke, she flew over to help pick the other glass bags.

"Let's go back first. Qiqi seems to urgently need these medicinal herbs. We can check on the situation of the war between immortals and demons later."

Lu Li thought for a moment and decided to go back and give the medicinal herbs to Qi Qi first. Anyway, for them who can fly, going up and down the mountain will only take a short while.

"Okay, then we'll head back right away..."

Boom—

Gan Yu nodded, but before she could finish her reply, a deafening explosion erupted from the distant mountain peaks, and two raging forces collided, forming a mushroom cloud that rose into the air.

The next moment, a shockwave followed. Lu Li and Gan Yu, who were flying in the air, felt a gust of wind hit their faces and were sent flying backwards a distance.

"You demons, do you think you can run rampant here just because the Emperor is not here!"

Immediately afterwards, an angry voice of an immortal echoed through the mountains.

"It's True Lord Liuyun... I need to go and help."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Gan Yu felt a desire to help.

"By the time we get there, the fight will probably be over...?"

As Lu Li spoke, he looked up at the sky and found that the formation covering the mountain range had become fully visible.

Immediately afterwards, several beams of immortal power, which were very familiar to Gan Yu, rose up and merged with the great formation. The entire formation immediately began to operate, and the elemental forces between heaven and earth converged towards a point in the sky.

The immortals had set up the grand formation here in advance, all for the purpose of annihilating these demons in one fell swoop.

"Hehehe..."

The demons' voices didn't echo through the mountains like the immortals', but Lu Li could still faintly hear their clamorous laughter.

The next moment, the power gathered by the great formation came down from the sky like a space-based cannon, crashing down on the mountains.

At the same time, another force rose from the mountains, attempting to contend with it.

Boom—

The two forces vanished above the mountains, transforming into aftershocks of mixed-color light that spread in all directions, causing the entire earth to tremble.

The aftershock flew towards Lu Li and Gan Yu, striking the mountain peak precisely, causing the entire peak to collapse.

At the foot of the cliff where Lu Li and the others were, an uninhabited cave was instantly buried.

"Miss Gan Yu, are you alright?"

Lu Li raised his shield and stood in front of Gan Yu.

"I'm fine, but..."

Gan Yu shook her head and turned back to look at the spot where they had come from.

Due to the collapse of the mountain, many boulders rolled down the mountain road.

The formation did not hinder the boulder, and with the heavy snow blocking the mountain outside the formation, the boulder rolled down without any obstruction.

But directly below the foot of the mountain lies the village where Qiqi lives.

"!!!"

Lu Li was startled when he saw this scene.

The same mountain, the same rocks—this is bound to crush Qiqi to death...

The fate of all beings in Teyvat has already been predetermined...

Lu Li suddenly remembered this setting.

Only a force from outside the world can change a predetermined fate...

Immediately, Lu Li realized this.

Seeing that the boulder was about to roll down to the foot of the mountain, Lu Li immediately raised his hand in that direction.

"Cuteness is justice."

Lu Li couldn't think of which line to read for a moment, so he simply read out the skill name.

This is also his only skill that allows him to shield others remotely.

"...?"

Gan Yu looked at Lu Li with some confusion.

Meanwhile, at the foot of the mountain, in front of the village.

"Um?"

Columbia sensed something and raised her hands to look at the shield on her body.

"Lu Li..."

"What an adorable power! But don't worry."

Feeling the shield around her, Columbia smiled and put one arm around Qiqi's shoulder to protect her, while raising her other arm forward.

The next moment, a light curtain formed by the convergence of water elements unfolded at the foot of the mountain.

Rumble— Rumble—

The boulders that rolled down crashed into the light barrier one by one, and shattered into several pieces under the enormous impact, but none of them broke through the light barrier released by Columbia.

On the mountain, Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the light screen appear.

Although Teyvat's fate can reverse people's experiences, the three of them who traveled through time and space also borrowed power from outside the world.

"It seems we really have to go and help. Without Qiqi stopping the war between immortals and demons, who knows what the consequences would be if this war continued."

Seeing that the foot of the mountain was safe again, Lu Li said confidently to Gan Yu.

Gan Yu also realized that the war between immortals and demons had a huge impact. After all, it was no longer the time of the war between demons and gods, and the mortals below had no protection.

With that in mind, the two flew together toward the center of the battle between immortals and demons.

"Gan Yu? What brings you here, child...?!"

"Who is this...?"

The immortals were somewhat surprised when they saw the two arrive.

……

"Big sister, are you perhaps the legendary Sparrow Immortal?"

Qiqi, who had been trembling with fear, hugged Columbia's arm and looked at her with admiration after Columbia dealt with the rolling boulder.

"A celestial being... a sparrow?"

Columbia was somewhat at a loss.

No matter what, I should be a pigeon, how did I become a sparrow...?

At this moment, the sound of the boulder also startled the villagers who were huddled in the house, but most of them were elderly people and children, as the young people had all gone out to work.

Upon seeing the giant rocks outside the village and hearing Qiqi's explanation, the villagers respectfully thanked Columbia, calling her the title of Fairy Tuanque.

Their enthusiasm left Columbia somewhat bewildered, so she could only follow Qiqi to her home.

Inside the house, Qiqi's older sister was lying on the bed, her brows furrowed and unconscious, looking very uncomfortable, while an elderly neighbor was helping to take care of her.

"Are you sick? Please let me try."

Seeing that Qiqi's older sister was unconscious, Columbia went over and sat on the edge of the bed, holding one of her arms in her hands.

When Lu Li and Gan Yu helped end the war between immortals and demons and came down from the mountain, the villagers were already discussing building a temple for the immortal Tuan Que.

Although Columbia wanted them to change their title to White Dove Fairy.

……

"Goodbye, Fairy Sparrow, Fairy Coconut Sheep, Big Brother."

Before Lu Li returned with Columbia and Gan Yu, Qi Qi held her sister's hand and waved goodbye to them from afar.

Lu Li and the others waved back and walked out of the village through the snow.

"We've changed Qiqi's experience now, what will happen to her when we go back...?"

After walking a little further away, Gan Yu raised her hands and placed them on her chest with some concern, then looked at Lu Li.

The idea of ​​going back 500 years is too far-fetched. Even the immortals of Jueyun Mountain do not have the magic to travel through time. She is worried that such a change will have serious consequences.

"No, only a portion of it will be reflected in our timeline. You can think of this as another parallel world."

"Furthermore, the butterfly effect obviously doesn't work in Teyvat where fate is predetermined. Didn't you mention Qiqi to Lord Liuyun before you left? Well, maybe you'll have another junior sister who will be called Lord of Salvation and Calamity in the future."

Lu Li shook his head. This was mentioned in the details of the system's prompt, which was that after clicking to read it, he would receive 1 Primal Stone.

"That's good... Qiqi has a natural affinity for immortality, so she might indeed become an outstanding immortal."

Gan Yu was finally relieved.

"Hmm... So we've traveled to the past? To change the future from the past?"

It was only then that Columbia belatedly realized this.

She knows absolutely nothing about the history of Liyue or Qiqi's experiences.

"More or less."

"Maybe when you come to Liyue in the future, you'll find that everyone calls you the White Dove Sage or the Sparrow Sage."

Lu Li smiled and explained to Columbia.

[Returning...]

[Congratulations, host, for altering Qi Qi's experiences, saving her from a fate teetering between life and death.]

[Reward settlement: The host provided protection during the incident; settlement in progress...]

[Settlement complete, reward: "Mastery"]

[Mastery: The host can now control the effects of skills more closely, allowing a skill to only exert certain effects, excluding negative effects.]

[For example: The Snowfield Survival Rule provides 50% defense and 3.5% health regeneration. The host can choose to activate only the 50% defense bonus and disable the health regeneration effect, but cannot cancel the negative effect of reduced attack range.]

[Also, the Kalia-style retaliation only clears ranged attacks and does not convert them into a Shining Sword counterattack; the Support Command does not generate Golden Apples, etc...]
