While I was in Mondstadt, I never imagined becoming a god.

His palm touched the shards of the Frostfire Nail, which seemed like ordinary objects, yet still retained the lingering power within them, cold and heavy, like grasping the weight of an entire winter.

It's far from enough, but it's a start.

Chapter Sixty-Two: The Power of the Three Realms

High above, the wind howls and the biting cold penetrates everywhere, making it a forbidden zone that ordinary people cannot set foot in.

Dvarin's wingspan covered half the sky, and each flap of his wings created a huge airflow, tearing the clouds apart and then closing them back together.

A thousand breezes swirled around Xu Chuan, keeping the cold at bay.

He sat cross-legged on the dragon's back, studying the fragments of the Frostfire Nail.

"Judging by appearance alone, he does look rather ordinary."

Xu Chuan reached out and touched the surface of the fragment with his fingertips.

Its exterior is very simple and unadorned, much like the stone pillars of Mondstadt Church, but its inner essence is completely different.

The knight did not die. The power of his bare hands surged from his palms, like countless fine threads, probing into the fragments of the Frostfire Nail.

He touched the power hidden within, and it was a feeling unlike anything he had ever experienced before.

That power was different from elemental power and also different from the power of the abyss; it carried a certain unquestionable sense of order.

Unlike elemental power and abyssal power, this is what is known as human power?

Through the knight's ability to survive unarmed combat, he carefully experienced the essence of power contained within it.

The power of the Frostfire Nail is vastly different from the power of the Abyss.

If the abyss is chaos, then the power of the human realm is order.

The two forces are light and shadow, which are in opposition to each other.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Chuan took out the Corruption Sword and infused a trace of the power of the Frostfire Nail into the blade.

The transformed Corruption Sword emitted a deep hum, and the light on its blade flickered, as if it were being suppressed by something.

Faced with the power of the Frost Nail, it was like a bird with its neck being choked; it struggled a few times and then fell silent.

Of course, it's also possible that the power contained in the Frost Nail overwhelmed the Corruption Sword, just like an adult and a child arm wrestling, the outcome was never in doubt from the start.

Xu Chuan felt it wasn't just a matter of power level, but a deeper kind of restraint.

He recalled something he had seen somewhere:

The so-called power of the light realm and the power of the human realm are essentially manifestations of different orders.

The Light Realm is the source of elemental power, the world of the dragons and lizards, and the original order of Teyvat.

Humanity's power is the order of humankind, the embodiment of civilization and laws.

Both are the opposite of the forces of the virtual realm.

The Old Order of Teyvat is the original Nibelungen of Light.

The new order is the natural order.

Xu Chuan found that the result was the same as before; the power of Heaven's justice could not affect him.

From the time he transmigrated until now, whether it's elemental power, the power of the abyss, or the power of the human realm now, none of these forces have ever had a fundamental impact on him.

Xu Chuan took a deep breath and refocused his attention on the fragments.

The knight did not die from the power of his bare hands penetrating to the core. He was like groping in the dark, searching for a switch, a node that could make this power submit.

After much effort, a blue polyhedral crystal emerged from the fragments, hovering above the palm of the hand and slowly rotating.

At first glance, it is crystal clear, like a carefully cut gemstone, with a certain regular pattern of light flowing inside.

The true core of the Frostfire Nail is this thing.

Xu Chuan held up the crystal, his gaze falling on the patterns of light.

In the Dragonspine Snow Mountain storyline, once all the blue crystals scattered throughout the mountain are collected, the broken Frost Nail will be restored to its original state and rise into the sky from the mountaintop.

Similar blue crystals can also be found in Liyue and Sumeru, where they were struck by the Sky Spikes.

The difference is that the Lumenite of the Layered Rock Abyss does not contain much power.

The Crimson King, on the other hand, used the fragments of the Heavenly Nail that crashed into Sumeru as an energy source, along with forbidden knowledge, to gradually create the once glorious Crimson King civilization.

However, the blue crystals in these two places are essentially just byproducts of the influence or assimilation of the power of the Heavenly Nail.

The crystal I extracted from the Heavenly Nail itself is closer to its origin.

"It has a remarkable effect on the power of the abyss and can be considered one of our trump cards for dealing with the abyss in the future."

Xu Chuan held up the blue crystal with his other hand and took out the Heart of the Wind God.

Both of these things are essentially creations of the natural order; let's see if we can merge them.

The next second, two forces surged into the body at the same time. The icy power of the Frost Nail and the flowing wind of the Wind God's Heart, like two wild beasts locked in a cage, instantly tore each other apart.

His blood surged in his veins, and his meridians felt like they were being pulled by two forces at the same time, causing him so much pain that the veins on his forehead bulged.

This was only because he managed to avoid dying unarmed while using the Knight's abilities and control both forces.

If left unchecked, a giant firework might appear in the sky.

"If we add more Abyss Power, can we maintain the balance of the three?"

The thought flashed through my mind like a lightning bolt cleaving through the chaos.

First there were the Five Sinners who controlled the power of the Abyss, and later, Skork, the apprentice of the Evil Knight, was also able to wield this power.

With his innate adaptability to various systems of power, he might actually be able to unify the power of the three realms into one.

Xu Chuan gritted his teeth, enduring the surging pain within his body, and slowly guided the two forces to find some balance within his body.

It's like walking a tightrope on the edge of a cliff; the slightest misstep could result in total destruction.

Tvalin sensed an unusual aura coming from behind him.

Two different forces clashed within Xu Chuan's body, and the aftershocks caused the air to tremble slightly.

It wanted to look back, but refrained, and instead increased its flight speed.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Chuan slowly opened his eyes.

The two forces found a fragile balance within the body, like two snakes coiled together, wary of each other, but temporarily at peace.

"In the end, I only borrowed the power of the Heart of the Wind God and the crystal fragments of the Heavenly Nail."

Xu Chuan clenched his fist, the sharp edges of the chess pieces and the crystal surface stinging his palm.

No matter how much contact you have with them, they will never be a part of you.

Some knights do not die unarmed; they can indeed control them.

This is no different from the lunar marrow of the March Goddess; both contain powerful energy.

But once he loses these external things, he will fall from grace just like that guy, the Doctor.

Xu Chuan was well aware that this was his greatest weakness.

When Wendy gave him the Heart of God, she subtly reminded him of this point.

If he gets lost in these powerful forces, he will sooner or later become a tool for their control, which is not the outcome he wants.

"Have you found the power that truly belongs to you?"

This made Xu Chuan fall into deep thought.

The system rewards abilities ranging from mastery of Teyvat Common to the knight's invulnerability to unarmed combat and projection magic.

That was the foundation of his livelihood in Teyvat.

These abilities do not possess great power; rather, they are like tools for understanding the world of Teyvat.

Upon realizing this, a glint of light flashed in Xu Chuan's eyes, and he gradually formed his own answer.

"The power of the Abyss, the power of the Light Realm, and the power of the Human Realm are just the foundations I use to understand Teyvat and explore my own potential."

Chapter Sixty-Three: Two Executives

Returning from Longji Snow Mountain.

Xu Chuan immediately went to Yura to inquire about the news.

Since that night, there seems to be an indescribable membrane between the two, so thin that they can see each other but have never been able to break through it.

However, Yura seemed a little different this time.

She no longer deliberately avoided his gaze, no longer hesitated to speak, and regained her former vitality, even starting to joke with him.

"I heard you caused trouble at the Goethe Hotel?"

She leaned against the wall, arms crossed, a teasing smile playing on her lips.

"It's not about causing trouble, it's about negotiating," Xu Chuan corrected.

"How many Fools soldiers died during the negotiations?"

"Sometimes, unexpected things happen, don't you think?"

Yura chuckled and told him the information he wanted to ask.

"The lady has already left Mondstadt. She set off not long after you left, and she seemed to be in a hurry."

Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment.

He had assumed the lady would stay in Mondstadt to continue her plans, but he hadn't expected her to leave so decisively.

Even the Fools have become much colder towards the Lawrence family.

Xu Chuan always felt that there was something strange about this.

"Could it be that she's afraid the Wind God will show up and punish her?"

"It's not that bad," Xu Chuan shook his head.

"A woman like that won't leave just because she's afraid."

That's the girl who fought General Thunder to the very last moment; we can't underestimate her courage.

Her hasty departure from Mondstadt must have been due to some hidden reason she was unaware of.

At this juncture, what could be more important than seizing the Heart of the Wind God?

He didn't dwell on it; some things will reveal themselves in time.

“No matter what the lady is doing, everything should be over when she returns,” Xu Chuan said.

Yura nodded, her tone filled with concern.

"I know you're powerful, but you should still be careful when dealing with women."

"She is not an ordinary Fool's soldier, she is an executor."

"Don't worry," Xu Chuan smiled. "Even if something unexpected happens, Tvalin is still here."

As for that famous scene of a drunken wind god, it probably won't happen again.

The Knights' purge of the Lawrence family will also take place simultaneously with their attack on the lady.

This was a plan that Xu Chuan and Qin had discussed from the very beginning.

While the Fools are preoccupied, we will eradicate that cancer from Mondstadt.

The way to minimize the impact on Mondstadt is to strike when the enemy is at their weakest.

“After this is all over,” Yura suddenly said, “let’s have a good drink. This time it’s on me.”

Sunlight streamed in through the window, falling on her hair and turning the pale blue into a warm gold.

Her eyes were bright, her smile was natural, and she seemed to have let go of something heavy.

"Then I'll have to look forward to it," Xu Chuan said with a smile.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Chuan, under the guise of being an apostle of the Wind God, invited the lady to the Wind Dragon Ruins.
