My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

Jeanne d'Arc (alter), this is your inescapable fate. Now, lift it up, for... there must be a Lich King.

Chapter 658: Both Grinding and Paying

"The evil spirit of the Tower of Babel took the place of the original doctor, and the original doctor returned to the place where he was trapped in order to rescue the young master."

The woman recounted what she had seen and heard, and as she spoke of her observations in winter, Xia Qing in Mondstadt stretched.

"Great, the last piece of the puzzle is complete."

Who said that there was a material model floating in front of him, emitting a pale white light and somewhat resembling a wormhole?

"However, the applicability of the Gate of Eternity is not as good as I imagined."

Looking at the model in front of him, Xia Qing said with a hint of helplessness, while the system's equally pleased voice rang out at that moment:

"It's already pretty good. Now that we understand the principles of this system, we can make appropriate modifications when it can't be used. The system is quite compatible."

"Well, to be specific, it should be based on the mind-based abilities Yog gave you, and the abilities you obtained from Diablo, Sirin, and Seele."

Hearing this, Xia Qing nodded and casually said, "But it seems we've already been discovered. That feeling of being watched at Fruit Wine Lake was definitely not fake."

Generally speaking, due to the different fundamental rules of different worlds, abilities that are usable in some worlds may not be usable in others.

However, with the system's adjustments, his various abilities are basically perfectly adapted to the world he enters. If the system's adjustments are not needed, the abilities he has mastered through the Crown System are basically universal.

Taking space as an example, the space transfer ability that I can use now can be divided into two types. The first type is Sirin's ability to seek and control imaginary space for space transfer.

The second type is the spatial ability obtained by continuously using imaginary space and successfully reading the "position" that one obtained when changing jobs and receiving the crown.

The latter is roughly equivalent to directly connecting oneself to the spatial essence concept of the boundary of destiny encompassing countless worlds, and then performing coordinate shifts on oneself as a pair of operations.

However, compared to the latter, I am undoubtedly more familiar with the method of imaginary space transfer. I currently have three types of abilities that I have obtained through the initial position of the crown system.

Conceptual abilities that are nearing the peak of the user stage, and spatial abilities that allow beginners to move within their perception range.

As for the third type of time-based ability, I estimate that my proficiency is slightly higher than that of space-based abilities, but still far inferior to conceptual abilities.

"Hmm, it seems that the maintainers of justice have already set their sights on you, host. So, should we make a run for it or do you want me to fight a match for you?"

Rest assured, once the source is in place, all natural justice will be disregarded.

The system confidently stated that its own strength was not weak; otherwise, it would not have been able to help Xia Qing perfectly seize the body of the ancient immortal.

"A righteous hero can't back down at a time like this, but I'm not planning on being a righteous hero, so System, let's run away~"

So relatively speaking, he's quite upright, but Xia Qing has no intention of taking on the title of a righteous hero. If he did, he'd suddenly become a loser, which would be disastrous.

"Okay, shall we go now?"

After a moment's thought, Xia Qing replied to the system's question:

"It will probably take some time for Tianli to find my existence, so I'll take this time to hand in the mission I originally accepted."

However, since she has been targeted by Tianli, it will probably be difficult to complete the contract with Keqing in the short time before Tianli makes a move.

"In that case, let's complete that contract the next time we return to this world."

After saying this, Xia Qing closed her eyes and began to locate Ke Qing's current location using the imaginary space of this world.

Instantly teleporting to the door of Ke Qing's office, Xia Qing picked up the prepared document and gently knocked three times. After hearing the "Come in" voice from inside, he opened Ke Qing's door.

At this moment, the office was filled with scenes of intense grinding and spending money. Looking at Gan Yu, Ke Qing, and Xia Qing in the office, he casually said, "This is the task you gave me last time, and it's already completed."

As Xia Qing said this, Gan Yu looked at Ke Qing with an expression that showed she hadn't expected it at all.

Who would have thought that this efficient current official, Yuheng, was secretly employing child labor?!

"Ahem, don't look at me like that. Do I look like the kind of person who would hire child laborers? Hmm, this Mr. Mitch is a genuine, legally born young boy."

Keqing coughed twice and explained that if Michi hadn't lied at the time, what she said should be true.

Gan Yu looked at Ke Qing with a subtle expression, seemingly not entirely believing the words of the person in front of her.

Faced with skepticism, Gan Yukeqing looked at Xia Qing with a helpless expression: "It seems you've completed your mission. How difficult did you find it?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Qing, using the secret code, revealed a thoughtful expression: "From a general rational perspective, the difficulty of the inner self is indeed a bit too high for ordinary people in Liyue."

But for me, it's a piece of cake.

Xia Qing wasn't lying. Most of the tax issues Keqing had given him were quite troublesome, and it was indeed difficult for ordinary people in Liyue who hadn't received compulsory education to handle them.

Upon hearing this, Ke Qing nodded, having no doubt what Xia Qing said.

After bidding farewell to Keqing, Xia Qing was ready to leave this world. The system allows her to freely choose the time point in other worlds when traveling to them.

When I return to this world again, I can naturally choose to choose the moment I left.

After leaving the primitive world and returning to the gate, Xia Qing successfully lived a peaceful life for a while.

"So that's how it's solved? That's amazing."

Behind the door, Xia Qing uttered a line from a promising knight, while Yog, who was clearly a head shorter than Xia Qing beside him, spoke softly:

"If you've already done that, going to that world should be relatively safe."

The system in Mio's form nodded: "The theoretical impact of the energy released through this mode is indeed high, but unfortunately the movement speed is too slow."

Xia Qing replied to the system beside her with a somewhat helpless voice:

"Without relying on abilities like conceptualization, it would be quite difficult for me to make the spread of destructive power exceed the speed of light."

"We don't need to worry about the amount of destructive power; my current energy level, suspended in the destiny of the world, has already slightly surpassed that of a star like the Sun."

Chapter 659: System, if you've been kidnapped by Fischl, just say so.

"If you want to exceed the speed of light, well... expand your perception range and directly locate the energy release target in imaginary space."

Or rather, the rules of time; once mastered, one can use the power of time to adjust the flow of time both within and outside of attacks, achieving miracles that surpass the speed of light.

Yog thought for a moment and offered two possibilities, to which the system nodded and said:

"Well, if we want macroscopic matter to exceed the speed of light through physical means without resorting to tricks, its own position must at least reach the conceptual level."

However, it's much easier to use shortcuts; it works in both time and space, but this only applies to the speed of energy transfer.

Xia Qing nodded in response to the system's words:

"Indeed, my next step is to improve the speed of attack transmission to the speed of light, not to make the speed of materialized energy attacks reach the speed of light."

If the mass to be released were to reach the speed of light to attack an object, in most universes, that kind of energy would be too much to bear, even if it burned up the entire macroscopic universe.

If you have time, you could go to the information hub and see if there are any tricks similar to time manipulation using Stands.

Xia Qing plans to return to Type-Moon next time, and take the opportunity to try out the function of the Gate of Eternity.

In fact, the idea of ​​stopping the time of the entire universe is, in some ways, even more absurd than mass reaching the speed of light, and is still quite a long way from the concept of "concept eight".

According to the information obtained from the intelligence gathering place, Concept 8, which surpasses Concept 9, is called Infinity. Xia Qing currently has no clue how to achieve that.

If I were to travel to other worlds and encounter battles, my only drawback would be my attack range.

In terms of attack power, the ideal fluid you obtain can be said to be able to cut through anything you encounter if you don't play by the rules and can hit it.

The only drawback is that large-scale conversion control requires a lot of control.

That kind of attack is essentially non-continuous; it is based on independent forces formed entirely under the influence of Honkai energy, which is fundamentally unscientific.

Having experienced many worlds and repeatedly completed role-playing exercises, his control over these experiences far surpasses that of Wendy.

Therefore, it can directly mobilize that power to fight the enemy, unlike Wendy whose control is too poor and can only indirectly control the wind by spreading it in the wind instead of directly turning the ideal fluid into an attack capability.

Now, those involved in the Gate of Eternity have basically been located, and there's no need to worry about their safety. They are unlikely to encounter any danger in their current location in the short term.

Speaking of which, let's first take a look at their current situation.

While thinking this way, Xia Qing tried to open small doors to those worlds by using the marks that existed.

The flow of time is not the same in different worlds. A few minutes later, Xia Qing opened his eyes. He had already roughly browsed through the existences that had been sucked into the Gate of Myriad Worlds.

Kiana's Build hasn't even started its main storyline yet, and the Strikers are no match for her. Bronya and the Nine Heavens are currently living a peaceful life.

As for Kevin... he's in a bit of a predicament right now. He's been in the dark world of bullets for half a day and still hasn't found any large-scale human settlements.

"Black bullets... What a tragic world. In that case, when I go to pick up Kevin, I might consider practicing my skills in this world?"

But before that, let's go to Type-Moon and end that Holy Grail War.

While speaking, Xia Qing attempted to manipulate the rules that transcended all worlds and filled the boundaries, existing independently of the world.

The rules of time materialized as pale golden ribbons of light emerging from his palm. Once his strength reached a certain level, the distinction between the past, present, and future of the world became meaningless.

"Host, please use your time manipulation powers on humans~?"

The system suddenly mimicked Sirin's tone and then silently created a camera out of thin air to take a picture.

"Hehe?"

Xia Qing was a little stunned when the system suddenly picked up the camera. The system then silently gave her a thumbs up and showed an encouraging look: "Host, shouldn't you say something at a time like this?"

After thinking for a moment, Xia Qing nodded, looking at the system: "Oh, I understand, I understand."

After saying this, he suddenly raised his right hand and slammed it into the air in front of him. The light band of time disappeared at this moment and turned into a dazzling sea of ​​stars.

I will turn the world upside down!

Xia Qing imitated Shi Lu's tone and spoke, but the system shook its head and replied, "The purity is too low, host. You should learn from me."

As the system finished speaking, it turned its back to Xia Qing and said in a deep voice:

Time flows in my palms, space shatters beneath my feet, all things arbitrate before my eyes, and concepts are constructed by my will.

I stand atop the dome, looking down upon the mortal world.

The time has come to obliterate the past, reverse the future, and reconstruct the universe.

Looking at the system in front of him, Xia Qing subconsciously asked, "System, if you've been kidnapped by Fischl, just say something."

In response to Xia Qing's speech system, he casually said, "Sure enough, it still feels a bit disjointed. It doesn't quite match the feeling of Fischl's usual speech."
