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

"Give it a name?" Xu Chuan was taken aback.

When Wendy brought it up, he really hadn't thought about it.

In Teyvat, names are very important.

The most obvious example is Dulin Jr.

Xu Chuan watched the figure busily working amidst the ruins.

"Scattered Soldiers" is the code name for the Fools' Enforcers, and we definitely can't use that name anymore.

I gave him the name in the game, but I'm not comfortable saying it out loud.

For a moment, he really didn't know what to call him.

"Let's call it Cannon."

"Cannon?" Wendy looked surprised, her emerald green eyes widening. "What a strange name!"

Xu Chuan recalled the life story of the stragglers in the plot.

This guy named himself "Kokubun" in Inazuma.

The phrase "national collapse" also has the connotation of cannons.

Although I changed his core, I gave him back his name, which can be seen as a way of not forgetting my original intention.

Xu Chuan turned to look at the puppet that was carrying the core of a tiller out of the ruins.

"Dapao, move the stuff over here, it's time to go."

The puppet stopped moving and turned to walk towards Xu Chuan.

His image was reflected in those empty eyes; there was no emotion, no consciousness, only obedience.

Watching this scene, Wendy suddenly said, "Are you really not going to leave him any dignity at all?"

"No need," Xu Chuan replied decisively.

"What I need is a combat doll, not another skirmisher."

Wendy didn't say anything more.

He plucked the strings and played a light chord, as if to put an end to this battle.

"Let's go back to Mondstadt."

Xu Chuan leaped onto the dragon's back, followed closely by the cannon, which landed steadily on Tvalin's back.

The doll has excellent balance; it doesn't move an inch even when standing on the dragon's back.

Wendy jumped down from Tvarlin's head and landed next to Xu Chuan.

Dvalin spread his wings and took off.

The wind whistled past my ears, and Mondstadt lay quietly on the shore of Cider Lake in the distance.

The setting sun dyed the sky golden red, and the clouds looked like burning flames.

Chapter Sixty-Eight System Rewards

Xu Chuan stood on Tvalin's back, watching the Wind Dragon Ruins gradually disappear into the distance.

The setting sun dyed the ruins a dark red, like a pool of congealed blood.

As he admired the natural beauty, he mentally recounted the gains he had made in this battle.

The lady escaped with serious injuries and will not cause trouble in Mondstadt for a while. He took the stragglers into his dolls, so their combat power was not wasted.

The crisis that had been hanging over Mondstadt has now been mostly dealt with.

Furthermore, despite making such a big commotion, he didn't attract the attention of the Abyss Order.

It seems that Sora, that sister-obsessed guy, really isn't putting any more effort into keeping an eye on him anymore.

Thinking of this, Xu Chuan felt a sense of relief.

The operation was very fruitful, and he was quite grateful to the lady.

He stretched on Tvalin's back, forcing himself to stay awake.

After a fierce battle in the Wind Dragon Ruins, he was quite exhausted. Although his physical injuries were not fatal, he was still mentally fatigued.

For an ordinary person, this is the kind of condition where they absolutely cannot recover their vitality without at least half a year of rest.

But he's different.

Xu Chuan initially felt that his physique was somewhat abnormal and that he was very different from his former self, but he gradually got used to it.

As long as he is not completely dead, his powerful adaptability will allow him to continuously strengthen himself, and his recovery speed will also surpass common sense.

Wendy played her harp on the dragon's back, the melodious tune drifting in the wind, blending with the sound of Dvalin's flapping wings, like an ancient lullaby.

Xu Chuan leaned against Wendy's back, closed his eyes, and let his consciousness sink into the system panel.

The system was triggered after defeating the skirmishers and obtaining the core of the first tiller.

This also means that, in addition to the regular storyline check-ins, there is a viable way to obtain extra rewards.

"Let me see what good stuff we have this time," Xu Chuan thought with anticipation.

[Has a significant impact on the plot and receives the reward: Golden Light Mantra]

Xu Chuan stared at those three words for several seconds before falling silent.

Is it that I have too high expectations of the system, or does the system not want me to get too cocky?

The Golden Light Mantra has a wide range of functions, but compared to those abilities that sound very powerful, it always feels like it's missing something.

Xu Chuan couldn't help but sigh.

He realized that without expectations there would be no disappointment, and that he was still too fixated on the system.

After clearing away those emotions, Xu Chuan regained his composure and began to ponder this new ability.

The rewards given by the system are often more auxiliary, from Teyvat Common Language to Knights Not Dying Barehanded, from Projection Magic to the current Golden Light Charm.

I wonder when I'll get a reward that directly boosts my strength.

But then Xu Chuan thought again and realized that the Golden Light Mantra was indeed suitable for him now.

The essence of the Golden Light Mantra is to unify one's nature and destiny through cultivation, achieving a state of unity between body and mind.

What we seek is not some dazzling golden light, but to enter a state that elevates our spiritual cultivation.

The golden light is merely an appearance; life itself is the true essence.

Xu Chuan closed his eyes and began to cultivate according to the method given by the system.

He quickly entered that state, his consciousness calm, his breathing long and even, his body like a still pool of water, clear and transparent inside and out.

He could feel something flowing inside his body.

It is more fundamental, originating from the power within this body.

A moment later, a flash of golden light appeared on his outstretched right hand.

That pure golden light carried a certain indescribable texture, like a flame but without temperature, like flowing water but incredibly light.

The appearance of golden light indicates that he has successfully cultivated the Golden Light Mantra.

In the future, as long as one continues to strengthen one's own life force, this golden light will become stronger and stronger.

Xu Chuan entered that state again, and this time he planned to maintain it and continuously improve his life cultivation.

Dwarin's flight was smooth, and Wendy's piano playing was gentle.

He calmed down in this atmosphere, his consciousness flowing like water.

When the two returned to Mondstadt, Wendy looked at Xu Chuan with some suspicion.

He tilted his head, his emerald green eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.

"Could it be my imagination?"

"It feels like something has suddenly changed about you."

"Really?" Xu Chuan stretched his shoulders and asked, "So, do you think it's good or bad?"

Wendy stared at him for a few seconds, then smiled.

"I think it's heading in a positive direction."

He plucked the strings and played a light chord, without asking any further questions.

Xu Chuan sighed with admiration, "Wendy is truly amazing; she noticed even such subtle changes."

The two chatted as they walked into Mondstadt.

Xu Chuan planned to go to the West Wind Church to have Barbara treat his injuries first.

Although he could recover quickly if left untreated, he didn't want to see Yura with his injuries and make her worry about him.

While the Golden Light Mantra does enhance one's life force and improve recovery, it's not an instantaneous effect; external injuries still need to be treated.

Xu Chuan placed the cannon with Tvalin first, as it wouldn't be convenient for that guy to come into the city with him.

The Fools scattered like birds and beasts, and he had no use for the puppet in Mondstadt for the time being.

The setting sun bathed the church spire in gold, and the stained glass windows shimmered with colorful light in the afterglow.

He stepped onto the stairs, about to push open the door.

"Xu Chuan!"

A familiar voice came from behind, accompanied by hurried footsteps.

Xu Chuan turned around and saw Yura walking quickly toward him.

She appeared to have just finished a mission, and there were quite a few members of the Knights around her, some of whom were also injured.

"Yura, what are you doing here?"

"Let's not talk about that now."

Yura walked up to him, her gaze falling on his robes, which were scorched by lightning, and his wounds, which were still bleeding.

Her brows were furrowed, and her voice carried a hint of heartache.

"You need to get your injuries treated as soon as possible."

As she spoke, she grabbed Xu Chuan's hand and pulled him into the church.

Her hands were cold, but she held them tightly, as if afraid he would run away.

Wendy stood on the steps outside the church, watching the two figures disappear behind the door, smiled, and turned to walk towards the direction of the Angel's Gift.

My throat is a bit dry; I need to moisturize it.

The church was very quiet.

Evening prayer time had passed, and only a few candles were still burning, their orange light flickering under the dome.

Barbara was tidying up the altar when she heard footsteps. She looked up and saw Xu Chuan's disheveled appearance, and covered her mouth in surprise.

"Mr. Xu Chuan! How did you get injured like this?"

"It's a long story," Xu Chuan said with a wry smile.

Yura pulled him to sit down on a bench and said to Barbara, "Thank you for your help."

Barbara quickly came over, put her hands together, and the light of the water element gathered in her palms.

A soft light enveloped Xu Chuan's wounds, and the burns and cracks healed at a visible speed, the cool sensation replacing the previous burning pain.

Yura stood to the side with her arms crossed, saying nothing.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Strange Dreams

After the treatment, the two left the West Wind Church.

A night breeze blew from the square, carrying the scent of dandelions and dispelling the lingering smell of candlelight in the church.

Xu Chuan glanced back at the church, where lights were still on and several wounded knights were receiving treatment.
