I'm in Genshin Impact, and I started by teaming up with Luna.

"Forty to fifty years old is considered a top-tier level among humans, a level that is difficult to reach even with the Eye of God."

The system spoke quickly before, but suddenly stopped here, then emphasized, "Here comes the important part: level 50. This is a hurdle for humans."

"To put it simply, it's a calamity, of course, not a divine thunderbolt. It's a personal calamity, not just a calamity of talent, but also a calamity of the heart."

"Reaching level 50 means you are an absolute top expert among humans. The Qin Kaiya Lisa you know are all experts at this level."

"Even the more powerful ones like Diluc and Klee are only around level 55."

"Tear—" Wu Qiu gasped. He really hadn't expected that Diluc, Chin, and Klee were only in their fifties. What about higher levels? Wu Qiu didn't dare to even think about it.

"It's already very difficult for humans to reach this level, after all, some weak immortals can only reach this level in the end."

The system continued, "Levels sixty to seventy are also a tribulation. Breaking through level sixty means you've already surpassed the human realm and can now compete with most immortals."

"Reaching seventy to eighty is almost impossible for humans unless they have the help of a world god. Even among immortals, very few reach this level."

"Among them, the Great Demon Slayer Xiao, whom you know, is at this level. And the Wind Demon Dragon Dvalin is also at this level."

"Finally, eighty to ninety is a very special level. All the demons in the Demon God War a thousand years ago, as you know them, were at this level."

"But the division of power levels is very serious; the difference between levels is like heaven and earth. Apart from the seven ruling powers of the mortal world, only a few demon gods can reach level 85 or above; all the others are between 85 and 80."

"However, the seven gods mentioned here do not refer to the current seven gods, but to the original seven gods. Currently, only two of the seven gods possess power above level eighty-five, and one of these two has almost fallen below level eighty because he gave up his divine position and no longer wears the crown. I don't need to say who I'm talking about, right?"

Wu Qiu understood immediately. The system continued, "I won't talk about anything above ninety, it's meaningless to you right now."

Wu Qiu didn't ask, nor did he need to. He actually knew that among those at level ninety, there were probably only a few: Tianli and the Tianli maintainer.

"Okay, I've finished speaking. Do you have any other questions?"

The system spoke. Wu Qiu thought for a moment, "Rock God, what level are you at now?"

Wu Qiu was purely curious. He really wanted to know what level Old Master Zhong, the number one among the Seven Gods, was.

"His peak strength was eighty-eight, and he is still eighty-eight now."

"Wasn't it eighty-nine?" Wu Qiu was surprised. He thought Zhong Li would be at least eighty-nine, after all, that was the closest to ninety. And your peak was eighty-eight, what does eighty-eight mean now? Isn't it the same as before?

The system rolled its eyes at Wu Qiu again. "Who said that the same level means the same strength? Besides, his level of 88 isn't due to a lack of talent, it's just that he can only reach this level."

“As long as I do not interfere, the laws of nature are the masters of this world. The reason why it allows all living beings to reach the age of eighty-eight, or rather eighty-nine, is that it is possible for them to touch that realm and pose a threat to them.”

"Oh—!" Wu Qiu understood. So, Tianli was afraid someone would defeat him, so he forcibly prevented others from becoming stronger.

"By the way, what level is the Ruotuo Dragon King?"

Wu Qiu suddenly thought of Tuozi Ge. He was also very curious about Tuozi Ge's abilities.

"Eighty-nine."

......................................................

"Didn't you fucking say you couldn't go to eighty-nine?"

Wu Qiu was dumbfounded. You just said the highest was eighty-eight, and now you're saying eighty-nine? What, is it fun to contradict yourself?

Unexpectedly, the system spoke up in a serious tone, "No, he is different. He was conceived by heaven and earth, created by this world."

"No matter how strong the principles of Heaven are, they still exist in this world. What sustains the existence of this world and everything in it is the Way of Heaven, the law of the Way."

"The ability of Heaven to limit the level of others is also a use of a part of the power of Heaven's Way. But how can the power of Heaven's Way be used to limit the beings created by Heaven's Way?"

"So let alone the Dragon King, even a slime, as long as it has enough talent, can be as good as 89 or even 90 or higher."

"Because they are elemental beings, and elements themselves are created by the Heavenly Dao. Although the Heavenly Dao only maintains and does not manage, the laws of the Dao are something that no living being can resist, because your very existence depends on the Heavenly Dao."

(Everything above represents only my own thoughts and has nothing to do with the game's settings, so please don't criticize me~)

Chapter 143: Absorption

After the system finished speaking, Wu Qiu was surprised, but only for a moment. What the system said was still too far removed from Wu Qiu's reality. However, at that moment, Wu Qiu thought of another question.

"By the way, what level would Ryu's combat power be converted to now?"

Wu Qiu asked this because he wanted to see the limits of human potential. Liu was the strongest person he had ever seen; although she was a Hilichurl, she was still considered to be at the human level.

Wu Qiu was genuinely curious about Liu's fighting prowess, as he was likely the most powerful human in the world.

"I can only tell you that it's ninety and above."

"What!" The system spoke casually, but Wu Qiu was completely dumbfounded. Ninety and above, even higher than Zhongli, the Heavenly Principle level.

"System, are you kidding me? Ninety and above? Doesn't that seem like justice?"

The system shook its head. "There are requirements. First, he has to retrieve the Sunset Glow. Second, reaching his peak strength requires consuming life force. Without these, his current combat power is only 87."

"As for the principles of Heaven, Ryu has also escaped their control. To be precise, he has transcended the Heavenly Dao and is more advanced than any other creature in this world. As for the reason, you should be able to guess."

"An object from outer space?" Wu Qiu asked tentatively. The system nodded. "That's right, and you might even reach that level."

Wu Qiu was thrilled. Above the principles of Heaven, beyond the Way of Heaven, that must be a true god, right? This is too awesome.

At this moment, Wu Qiu suddenly realized that his body was beginning to dissipate, clearly indicating that he was about to wake up. He raised his head, looked at the system, and said, "System, although I really want to punch you, chatting with you allows me to recall the feeling from my previous life. Although the feeling isn't pleasant, thank you anyway."

The system remained silent, simply watching Wu Qiu disappear. Only after Wu Qiu had completely vanished did the system look up at the sky.

"Wu Qiu, I'm begging you, I beg you, you must reach the Falling Star Plain. Miss Bai's divine fragments really can't stay there any longer. You really have to reach the end."

Wu Qiu couldn't hear it, but if he did, he would be very surprised. The system's voice was calm, serious, and helpless, completely unlike his usual self.

......................................................

"Damn, I get a headache every time I come out of there."

Sitting up, Wu Qiu rubbed her head and complained. Looking around, the first thing that caught her eye was Dvalin's enormous body.

This is a platform, a very large platform. Tvalin was lying in the center, and Wu Qiu was right next to him.

The area was completely blocked off by wind barriers. It was practically sealed off. Although Wu Qiu hadn't tried it, he knew that if he touched it, he would be torn to shreds.

Fortunately, Tvalin had his eyes closed, seemed to be in some pain, and was not moving, as if he had fainted.

"Woo~"

Suddenly, a strange sound rang out. Wu Qiu was startled; it sounded like it came from Tevalin.

He leaned closer and listened carefully. Sure enough, weak sounds came from Dvalin's mouth. Although they were very faint, Wu Qiu could tell that Dvalin seemed to be moaning, as if he was in great pain.

Approaching, Wu Qiu gently touched his cheek, then climbed onto his back without hesitation. There, Wu Qiu saw the poisonous thorn she had broken off.

However, Wu Qiu was stunned to remember that when he pulled out the poisonous stinger, blood spurted from Dvalin's back, indicating that he was clearly injured.

And now, the wound was already beginning to heal. This made Wu Qiu wonder how long he had actually been on the Fallen Star Plains. He didn't remember it being long. Could it be that Dvalin's regenerative abilities were very strong?

But Wu Qiu didn't care about any of that anymore. He saw that the broken poisonous stinger was emitting a black light and clearly showed signs of healing.

This made Wu Qiu realize that simply pulling out the poisonous thorn was useless; the root cause needed to be completely eradicated: the poisonous blood and the wind element tainted by it.

Yes, because the poisonous blood is contaminated with wind element, it has gained the ability to absorb and release wind element. Just imagine how dangerous it would be to have poisonous wind element.

If Dvalin had released this poison during the attack on Mondstadt, Mondstadt would be a living hell now, with more than ten times the current death toll.

As if guided by a ghost, Wu Qiu reached out his right hand and gently touched the broken area. Immediately afterward, a stream of black energy swept directly towards Wu Qiu's arm.

"Holy crap!" Wu Qiu exclaimed and quickly pulled his hand back. He then flung it away, but it was no use. The black energy traveled up his arm to his shoulder and formed a black dot there.

At this moment, the frost-like snowflake patterns on Wu Qiu's arm quickly appeared, spreading across his entire arm. Wu Qiu felt a tingling numbness in his arm, but it wasn't too serious and subsided quickly.

Looking at the black dot again, it turned out it had been absorbed by the pattern, forming something resembling a lotus seed in the center of the flower. Although it was very faint, it was safe to say it no longer posed a danger to Wu Qiu.

"Could it be that the poisonous stings that even Dvalin couldn't deal with could be absorbed by the frost and snow?"

A crazy idea popped into Wu Qiu's head. The moment the idea formed, Wu Qiu couldn't help but reach out his hand.

As he approached the broken poisonous stinger, the entire stinger suddenly burst forth with a black light, and then pounced on Wu Qiu like a pack of wolves seeing their prey.

In that instant, Wu Qiu's entire arm was submerged. Just like ink being splashed on something, black mist swirled around it.

"what!!!!!!"

First came a tingling numbness, followed by a sharp pain that enveloped his entire arm. Wu Qiu was instantly drenched in sweat, and his screams were truly agonizing.

But Wu Qiu didn't withdraw his hand, because he realized that the black energy hadn't come to him on its own. Much of it was being actively absorbed by Shuangxue. Although the process was painful, Wu Qiu knew that Shuangxue was doing her best to absorb and transform it.

As long as the frost and snow continue, Wu Qiu will not withdraw his hand, because he believes that the frost and snow will not harm him. Therefore, Wu Qiu must also unconditionally trust him.

This process was incredibly painful, more painful than anything Wu Qiu had ever experienced before. Yes, that's right, more painful than having a toothpick put inside your toenail and then being kicked hard against a corner. (Does this bring back any bad feelings you might have?)

Wu Qiu howled, screamed, rolled around, and cried. Seeing the black mist increasing, Wu Qiu was about to collapse again.

Just then, Wu Qiu suddenly saw Tvalin move. He looked up at Wu Qiu, his eyes filled with emotion.

Yes, thanks to Wu Qiu's absorption, the poisonous stinger grew smaller and smaller, and was about to disappear. At this moment, Tvalin finally regained some of his senses and looked at Wu Qiu with a lot of gratitude in his eyes.

Why are you helping me?

Finally, Dvalin spoke, his voice filled with doubt, but even more so with gratitude. Wu Qiu, upon hearing Dvalin's voice, managed to steady himself, raised his head, and forced out a sentence despite the pain: "I feel your pain. Don't worry, I'll heal the wounds Mondstadt inflicted on you."

Chapter 144: Leading You Out of the Darkness

Wu Qiu's words silenced Tvalin. He had never imagined that anyone would understand him and go to such lengths for him.

But Wu Qiu, a complete stranger, could. Although he didn't know why, Wu Qiu's actions told Tvalin that he owed him a life.

Wu Qiu had no time to care what the Wind Demon Dragon was thinking. He was already feeling dizzy and his surroundings were changing.

Everything that was there disappeared, replaced by darkness, as if the space was being swallowed up by darkness little by little, until finally even Dvalin beneath them vanished.

Not only that, but the pain also disappeared, and his arm returned to its original state. This left Wu Qiu completely dumbfounded, thinking, "What's going on? Did I transmigrate again?"

The moment this thought arose, a cloud of black energy gathered in front of me, eventually forming a huge, phantom-like creature.

The shadow was entirely formed from condensed black energy, without any physical form; only a pair of eyes were visible. Even so, Wu Qiu could tell it was a dragon, a demonic dragon.

"Was that... the dragon that Dvalin defeated and then corrupted, driving Dvalin mad?" (I forgot the name, so I'll use "dragon" instead.)

Without a second thought, the guy glanced at Wu Qiu and then pounced without hesitation. Wu Qiu reacted extremely quickly as well. There was already some distance between them, and he had been on high alert, so the moment the demonic dragon moved, he raised his hand and conjured a brick, smashing it down.

However, something that left Wu Qiu speechless happened. The demonic dragon ignored the brick, passed right through it, and flew straight towards Wu Qiu.

As the room drew near, Wu Qiu's heart tightened, and the next second he was completely enveloped in darkness. Surprisingly, Wu Qiu felt no pain; he only felt his consciousness growing increasingly blurred.

"This is……"

Wu Qiu opened his eyes wide and stared intently at his hands. At that moment, many different things came to mind.

I remembered being abandoned as a child, being bullied at school, and the injustice of this society. I was inexplicably dragged into this world, looked down upon by a group of people, and met with their contemptuous and indifferent gazes.
