At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

"This is the cultivation method, and some of our 'experience.' But don't worry, you don't need to do anything. Just do what you're supposed to do," Tao Jing said with a smile. Night Raid might just become a hero of this civilization.

"Alright, you're free to do as you please." He then looked at Hao Zhikai.

"Comrade Hao Zhikai, return their Imperial Arms."

"Yes, Commander." Hao Zhikai nodded. Actually, he only confiscated the Imperial Arms because he was worried that the Night Raid members would react violently, but he did not expect that they would be so calm while walking in the dark.

In the Xia Kingdom, there are many extraordinary individuals who are rather radical and impulsive, but they are only impulsive and may cause minor property damage, but they will not harm anyone.

"That's it?" Mine was a little confused, and the other three looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Of course, we have a canteen here, so you can come and eat anytime you're hungry," Tao Jing said with a smile. Academician Li Li has cultivated fast-growing crops that only require a little grass element to produce enough food for millions of people in a short time.

Food is the foundation of stability; only when people are well-fed can they have the strength to carry out a revolution.

"Commander Tao Jing, I have a question I'd like to ask you," Ma Yin called out, mustering her courage. She had wanted to ask a question ever since she saw the speech.

"Please ask, as long as I can answer your question, I will help you resolve it." Tao Jing nodded.

"What do you think of other races?" Mine asked nervously.

"An alien race? Comrade Mine, your question is not a question in my opinion. As long as we can become comrades, then we are all the same, fighting for the same goal, without distinction between us," Tao Jing said.

In the face of the ideal of Great Harmony, there is no distinction between imperial citizens and foreigners. As long as we share the same ideal and unite together for the same ideal, we are comrades.

"I understand, thank you." Mine bowed deeply, her eyes moist. She knew what she had to do; she had found her ultimate goal in life.

She wanted to liberate the other half of her bloodline, the tribe that the empire called the Western alien race.

We are all human beings, and we are all the same, except for the difference in hair and eye color.

After bowing solemnly to Tao Jing, the group left the city hall. They felt as if they had been reborn, and were no longer the same as before.

After returning to the inn, the four of them gathered together and opened the book that read 'Source Awakening'.

"This, this is..." Apart from Leone, who couldn't read, Mine, Brand, and Lubbock were all shocked when they saw it.

They felt as if certain shackles within their bodies had been broken, their constantly beating hearts seemed to connect with their souls, and a continuous stream of power burst forth from their hearts.

The next moment, the three of them connected their minds to the World Tree. They looked up at the World Tree in awe, and at the 'Temple of Gods' that was partially obscured by white clouds.

A continuous stream of elemental power surged from their bodies, and patterns of wind, fists and swords, and the sun appeared on their foreheads.

Stigmata are not limited to seven elements, but the seven elements are the most universal. If one's own will resonates with the powers of other gods, then one will obtain the corresponding symbol and be granted an ability.

While the abilities gained are far inferior to those materialized by the 'Eye of God,' they still possess the potential to grow stronger along with one's mind.

"What's wrong! What's wrong!!! What's wrong with you guys!!!" Leone stared in disbelief.

Mine, Brand, and Lubbock, who were reading books, suddenly became like demons, their bodies radiating light, and glowing patterns appeared on their foreheads.

It's like those outrageous myths and legends you hear in a tavern.

"So that's how it is! So that's how it is! God! The Eye of God, one who is close to God! Stigmata! World Tree, Pantheon! By constantly growing stronger and getting closer to God through one's heart and good deeds!!!" Lubbock returned to God and excitedly kept chanting.

"They are actually messengers of the gods! They have come to save this corrupt and decadent world!"

"No wonder they are so dazzling, no wonder I feel so inferior!"

“Yes, ‘Source Potential’, this is the power that the gods bestow upon kind and righteous people to change the world!” Mine hugged her shoulders and choked with emotion, looking up at the sky: “The gods finally couldn’t bear to see the world continue to degenerate.”

She raised her hand to touch the sun lines on her forehead, her nose slightly red, as if a pair of warm hands were stroking her head, soothing the torn wounds in her heart.

“It’s…unbelievable…no wonder they’re so powerful.” Brand looked up at the window and then burst into laughter: “Hahaha, now I know, the happy world they’ve described will definitely come true.”

"We need to take the 'Source Potential' back to the boss and back to the Revolutionary Army."

"As long as we share the same ideal, everyone is a partner, everyone is a comrade."

"If everyone were kind and just, that world would arrive very soon!"

"What?! What?! What happened to you?! What are you saying?!" Leone was frantic, looking at their blissful expressions.

“Oh dear, boss, we’ve told you to read and learn to read whenever you have time, but you just won’t. Come on, let’s talk about it, why are you doing this…” Lubbock quickly said the words ‘Source Awakening’.

Even if one is illiterate, as long as one can understand, one can cultivate oneself. There are no barriers; the only barriers are one's heart and good deeds.

Leone quickly learned it, then put his hands on his hips and laughed heartily: "Hahaha, no wonder they're so powerful, they're backed by gods!"

"Big Sister, is that all you've got?" Lubbock asked in surprise.

Leone punched Lubbock on the head, arms crossed: "You know perfectly well what you're asking, you deserve a beating."

"Ouch! That hurts, you're so violent..."

"Violence what?" Leone instantly activated her Imperial Arms, transforming into a lion girl, clenching her fists.

"No, it's nothing. My head was a little itchy just now. Thank you for scratching my itch, boss..."

After the 'Free Army' entered Jelock, they implemented comprehensive management and then launched a massive survey of farmland while advancing towards the surrounding towns.

However, progress on the 'Awakeners' is a bit slow, with the awakening rate around 31%, mostly basic awakenings. There are relatively few 'Source Turbulence' awakenings, and even fewer awakened abilities. In the entire Gerald and surrounding towns combined, there are less than five who have obtained 'Stigmata'.

However, this is already quite good. After all, it was the end of a dynasty, and it was already difficult for ordinary people to survive. More or less, they did bad things to survive.

If we do more good deeds in the future, and our good deeds outweigh our bad deeds, we will awaken to the truth.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the other side, on Earth, in the Pantheon.

Los Saint opened his eyes from his nap. At his level, he didn't need to sleep at all, but he still retained human habits.

Even if he is very strong, he still prefers the human way of life when nothing major happens.

"Ah~ Taking a nap makes me feel refreshed." Luo Sheng stretched.

With more gods, civilization developed and he had less to worry about. He didn't need to deal with small things anymore. Even if those god-level monsters fell over, the gods could discover them in time and eliminate them.

If one god isn't enough, then bring in a few more. Not for any particular reason, but simply to quickly deal with those who like to gang up on each other.

You thought you'd fallen into a vast blue ocean, but guess what? You'd be surprised to find a bunch of top-tier bosses blocking the fountain.

"It's time to go check on that old slacker Barbatos. I haven't spoken to him for so long, he must be getting impatient."

"Hmph, Barbatos's bad habit of slacking off must have been learned from Istaru."

Chapter 178: I, Barbatos, am a loyal subject!

Tivat

At this time, Teyvat had moved away from two countries, Liyue and Fontaine, reducing the original seven countries to five. The reason for the two countries' relocation also spread throughout Teyvat along with Fontaine's 'Triple Judgment'.

Teyvat is about to be destroyed, and the other five kingdoms are filled with fear. Apart from Venti, who has a direct connection with the laws of the other world, the other four kingdoms have no gods who have the slightest connection with the laws of the other world.

The possibility of Teyvat's destruction was hinted at by the four shadows who descended upon the Sky Isle of Fontaine. After all, the commotion was so great that many people witnessed it in secret, especially since two of the shadows had already left Teyvat with the otherworldly Tenryu.

The other two shadows also failed to summon the remaining Teyvat gods, which made the people of the Seven Kingdoms even more uneasy.

Apart from Barbatos, the gods of Teyvat have no connection whatsoever with the laws of the other world, let alone with the 'law maintainers' of the laws of the Sky Isles.

Teyvat's commercial system was thrown into complete chaos after Liyue left, making trade between the five nations extremely difficult and even forcing them into a state of isolation.

Currently, the only one of the five Teyvat kingdoms that can be considered to have a direct connection with the laws of the other world is Barbatos of Mondstadt, so the gods of the other four kingdoms all want to go to Mondstadt to inquire about the matter.

But they were all unable to set off due to various reasons.

Mond

Mondstadt was still bathed in sunshine and gentle breezes, with a faint aroma of wine mingling with the scent of grass carried on the wind. It seemed to look much the same as always.

However, there were more caravans than ever before on the trade routes, or perhaps more like immigrants.

Most of these immigrants came from Sumeru.

Mondstadt, Knights of Favonius

By this time, the main force of the Knights of Favonius had already withdrawn from Nordcale following Barbatos's notification.

The withdrawal of the main force also raised Mondstadt's military strength by one or two levels, and the Knights of Favonius became more adept at handling various matters in Mondstadt, without the previous haste and commotion caused by the temporary leadership of Acting Master Jean.

The Grand Master's Office of the Knights of Favonius.

The burly leader, Falgar, dressed in the Knights of Favonius uniform, with a sharp face and short blond hair, crossed his arms and frowned as he said, "Ever since Fontaine and Liyue completely moved away from Teyvat, the whole of Teyvat has been in chaos, especially Sumeru."

"With the mass relocation of Liyue, the ley lines of the entire land have become disordered, and a large number of monsters have sprung up. It's almost become a monster kingdom. Fortunately, the trade route connecting Sumeru and Mondstadt has been monopolized by adventurers from various countries' adventurer associations. Otherwise, Liyue would have severed the connection between Mondstadt and Sumeru."

"But Captain, even so, we can't stop the Sumerians from risking their lives to come to Mondstadt. There have been many cases of caravans being wiped out by monsters," a girl wearing a purple witch's hat and dressed in purple said helplessly.

“When I was studying in Sumeru, my mentor told me that the gods of Sumeru had not shown themselves for five hundred years, not even when Teyvat was about to be destroyed.”

"This terrified many ordinary people in Sumeru, so they kept running towards Nata and our Mondstadt."

"Alas, but I am not a Sumeru person, so I don't know what the Grass God of Sumeru is thinking. He has not shown himself since he took over as the new Grass God of the Great Compassion Tree King five hundred years ago, nor has he given any divine pronouncements."

“When I was studying abroad, even the elders of the Order of the Fathers only had a few words to say about this.”

"Do the Sumeru people not believe in their own gods? It's unbelievable." A blonde girl with twin ponytails wearing a white priest's dress covered her mouth in disbelief.

“Things are probably not that simple.” A young man with short white hair said calmly, “As far as I know, no matter what kind of demon god it is, it is impossible for them to ignore their people, even if they are second-generation gods, just like the water god of Fontaine.”

"Even if the demon god has unrealistic expectations of his people, and the people do not respond to those expectations, he will not abandon his people."

"Unless the people themselves abandon their gods."

Falgar crossed his arms and said, "Let's put aside these issues that are irrelevant to our current situation. Our most important task right now is to settle the endless stream of Sumerians coming to Mondstadt."

"Huh? Shouldn't we ask Lord Barbatos first?" the priestess asked.

“Barbara, if we have to consult Barbatos about everything, we might as well just let him handle everything in Mondstadt,” Falgar said, shaking his head.

“That’s true…we can’t just ask Lord Barbatos for his opinion on everything.” Barbara fidgeted with her fingers restlessly, her hands clasped around her abdomen.

She only recently learned that the drunken poet who suddenly appeared in Mondstadt and was constantly mooching drinks was actually the Anemo Archon she worshipped.

She even chased the drunken poet away because he was drinking in front of the Cathedral of the West.

Thinking about it now makes me want to crawl into a hole and disappear.

"Commander, what are your plans for those Sumerians who are going to Mondstadt?" Lisa asked.

After Liyue and Fontaine disappeared, the Sumeru Rainforest region sandwiched in between became an isolated island. To get to Nata, one had to cross a vast desert, and to get to Mondstadt, one had to cross Liyue, which had become a monster kingdom.

Fortunately, Sumeru can still travel to Mondstadt via sea routes; otherwise, it would be a nightmare for the Sumeru people.

“Let’s take in the Sumerians for now, but it’s impossible for them all to enter Mondstadt. Mondstadt can’t hold that many people, so we can only settle most of them near Springvale for now,” Falgar said.
