He changed Tiwat

The towering hero and wanderer before us would also declare war on Sky Island for her sake, leaving the "Order of Heaven" who rules Sky Island severely wounded and on the verge of death.

This should have been decided long ago.

The moon palace collapsed, the chariot fell, the three sisters perished, famine struck, and the people of the past perished... A harsh order descended from the heavens, and from then on, the stars stopped moving and the earth stopped moving.

She was confined within the shell of the starry sky, forced to remain in this stagnant foreign land, waiting for her mother's thousand threads of love, waiting for the wear and tear of the stubborn stone, waiting for an encounter from the outside...

Having finally waited for this encounter, why is she now reluctant to end it?

She wasn't an immortal, but she was supposed to be even more ruthless than an immortal.

She is a princess.

She is a descendant of the "Prince of Light" and the "Princess of White," and she seeks revenge against the "Mother of Night."

She represents the past; she should free the world from its fate and reunite the fragmented "Third Throne."

Now that things have come to this, she can no longer hesitate.

"magnificent……"

After staring intently at the black-haired youth before him for a long time, Bai Chen finally made his choice.

She will continue to walk on the threads of fate, hiding her tracks in the woods and springs, far from the gaze of the gods... and then, sever all shackles.

She reached out her hand to him.

"Since you have made up your mind, then I will entrust this power to you."

A silver ribbon of light, resembling an ouroboros, flowed from her palm and then slowly into Gu Hua's hand.

Gu Hua clenched his fist, opened it, and then clenched his fist again.

He felt a gentle, spring-like force seeping into his body, just like her skin—cool, moist, and soft.

Gu Hua closed his eyes, opened his eyes, and closed his eyes again.

He discovered that everything in front of him had changed.

She had just told him that the "time" in the eyes of immortals is completely different from the "time" in the eyes of mortals.

In the eyes of immortals, time is a wasteland without beginning or end, covered with spiderweb-like threads that stretch to an unknowable distance.

What ordinary people see as unchanging towering mountains and giant rocks, she can see as worn and crumbling.

And now, he sees the scenery through her eyes.

Everything was covered with black, spiderweb-like threads, stretching toward the unknown distance.

He has these silk threads in his hands.

His sword has these kinds of silk threads on it.

The bamboo grove beside him, the ground beneath his feet, and even the noisy cicadas hiding among the grass and trees all had such silk threads on their bodies.

Moreover, the thread can move.

Gu Hua looked at his hand, where the black thread extended along his wrist vein, pulsating like a human artery... He lifted the greatsword in his hand, and the thread on the greatsword trembled near the blade. He saw several barely noticeable cracks on the blade.

Those were marks he left when he killed demons in the past.

This greatsword was just a cheap item he got from the mountain people in exchange for the soft wool of sheep. It was essentially a large, sharpened piece of iron, and it might chip after a few more uses...

Only Bai Chen didn't have it.

Perhaps it's because she's a celestial being, different from everyone else...?

Gu Hua suddenly realized something, and he channeled the power of the rock element into the greatsword, enveloping the blade.

As the rock element covered the sword, the black threads that were originally near the blade suddenly moved downwards and to the hilt.

"This is……"

Gu Hua's heart stirred.

Han Fulai saw Gu Hua suddenly turn around, carrying a greatsword and walking towards him, looking like he was about to kill someone.

He subconsciously stepped back slightly, brushing past Gu Hua.

Gu Hua's target was not him, but a rock behind him.

He saw Gu Hua take a deep breath, remove the rock elemental power that enveloped the greatsword, and restore it to its normal form.

Then, Gu Hua held the greatsword horizontally against the rock, very slowly pressing the tip of the sword against the surface of the rock, and then gradually pushed the greatsword forward...

The sword tip sank into the rock millimeter by millimeter, followed by the entire blade, all the way to the hilt.

The whole process was completely unimpeded, just like a hot knife cutting into a block of butter.

"Huh?" The goddess stared in surprise, her eyes widening.

Not only her, but Ying and Paimon also stared wide-eyed.

Paimon exclaimed, "Wow, that sword was so sharp!"

Ying shook her head: "It's not because of the sword..."

She was an expert swordsman, and of course she could tell that Gu Hua's greatsword and her usual bladeless sword were of the same grade and did not possess the sharpness to "cut iron like mud".

If you ask her if she can stab a sword into a stone, she can, but that would be "stabbing" it in, requiring extra speed and strength, rather than "sending" the sword into the stone like Gu Hua did.

If she hadn't used her own power to protect the sword, how could a mere bladeless sword possibly withstand a direct clash with a rock? It would have broken long ago.

But Gu Hua only used the greatsword itself, without using any extra power...

The next second, Gu Hua suddenly pulled his sword out of the rock.

The greatsword, which had been clashing head-on with the mountain rocks, remained completely undamaged!

The surface of the rock has only a black crack, which is exactly the same size and width as the greatsword itself. It would almost make people mistakenly believe that the rock is the greatsword's "scabbard". Otherwise, how could it fit so perfectly?

At this moment, Gu Hua stretched out his finger and gently tapped the rock.

He only used the force of knocking on the door, and that was all, yet the rock suddenly collapsed and shattered into powder.

Gu Hua looked at the powder and stone chips scattered on the ground, as if he had an epiphany.

He once again raised his greatsword and began to practice his swordplay in the forest, reciting poetry with great flair as he did so: "The sword of ancient Hua is as beautiful as rain, as beautiful as drifting flowers. Drifting flowers can be picked, but raindrops are hard to draw."

This is precisely the sword technique of the ancient Hua School's "Rain-Cutting Method" that has been passed down through generations.

He stabbed, sliced, chopped, and hacked, and in just a few dozen seconds, he had ruined all the bamboo, wood, and rocks around him.

Ying frowned involuntarily.

She had also seen Xingqiu's "Rain-Cutting Sword". To be honest, in Yingmei's eyes, Gu Hua, the "founding father" of Gu Hua swordsmanship, was a complete novice in swordsmanship.

Not only were there no decent moves to be seen, but the angle of force applied was also completely wrong. The normal consequence of wielding a sword like that would be twisting an arm or straining a back... but the power of his sword dance was inexplicably strong. The once beautiful bamboo forest was now a mess, as if it had been run over by a bulldozer.

Anything touched by the greatsword, whether it was rocks or bamboo, was neatly broken in two.

Suddenly, Gu Hua burst into a ridiculously childish laugh, throwing his head back and shouting, "Hahaha! With this 'Mystic Eyes of Death Perception,' I can kill even a god!"

PS: If you don't remember the story of the Prince of Light and the White Princess, you can go back and look at the relevant content about Yura.

The story of the White Horse Sage's origins can be found in *Bamboo Forest Moonlit Night*, *The Hidden Jade Spring*, and *Peleeniri*. Combining these books reveals that the White Horse Sage is the "Daughter of Time," and also a descendant of the "Descendants" and the "Goddess of March." She has been striving to escape the prison of Teyvat. She is the messenger of the Great God of the Eternal World worshipped in the Abyss Palace, and also the celestial messenger once received by the Red Moon Dynasty of Kanria. She possesses the power of time, and may even be the daughter of Ishtar.

Of course, whether she is Ishtar's daughter or the daughter of some other descendant is not explicitly stated in the game.

I hesitated for quite a while before writing this chapter, since this setting is easy to be betrayed. Perhaps it would be better to wait until the Winter Solstice version is released before writing it—but a professional fanfiction writer must be bold enough to make judgments, so be it! Hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮

Actually, I had already decided on the relevant plot last year. After all, I couldn't retcon the plot points that were already laid out in the Yura volume. So even if miHoYo's later plot is different from mine, I will only write according to the script I designed. I'm letting everyone know in advance.

Chapter 346 The rest is up to you [4k]

"Holy crap, why?!"

Han Fulai has lost count of how many times he has exclaimed "Holy crap!" today.

He just can't understand it!

They're all from China, from the same school and the same dorm, so why does Gu Hua come with such amazing advantages, like beautiful older sisters throwing themselves at him and giving him superpowers? He, on the other hand, couldn't even bring a cell phone and almost starved to death on the street.

Surely it's not because the perks for time travel are tied to how much money you spend on the game, right?

Gu Hua is a heavy spender in the game, so he becomes an overpowered protagonist after transmigrating. Han Fulai, on the other hand, is a monthly card hoarder, so he still ends up as a working-class person after transmigrating.

Heaven is unjust!

It's really a "capital-driven scheme," isn't it!

And the perks they give out for time travel are just too outrageous, aren't they?

That's the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception! The highest-level Mystic Eyes connected to the Root, the coolest and strongest protagonist's cheat ability in the Moon World!

According to the setting of the Moon World, "Death Perception" is "seeing the end of things". All things that are born must die. When things flow out from the source, their "death" is already determined by the source. If a pair of eyes can connect to the source and see the "death" of things, it will be called "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception".

Those who possess the "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception" can see crisscrossing "lines" on things, like graffiti, and "points" formed by the intersection of line segments.

"Line" represents "a line that easily divides or destroys an object," and "dot" represents "the death of something."

If you hold a sharp blade (or any object that can cut the "line of death," such as a fingernail) and cut an object along the "line," you can inflict "real damage" on the object that is incurable and cannot be defended against; but if you stab it at the "point," the object will cease all activity, that is, die.

This ability can even be applied to various metaphysical things, such as "barriers," "energy," "touch," and so on. Even non-material things, as long as they possess the concept of "ending," can be "killed" through the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

Gu Hua's sword dance just now seemed to have no rules, but in fact it cut through the "dead lines" of the surrounding rocks, bamboo and trees. Because the "dead lines" are located in "places that are easy to cut and destroy", without a fixed location, Gu Hua had to chase after those "dead lines" to cut, which is why the posture looked rather ugly.

Of course, if he possessed martial arts skills as high as Yingmei's, and could freely control his center of gravity and posture, his sword-wielding posture would definitely be much more aesthetically pleasing.

When he thrust the greatsword into the stone, he pierced the rock's "dead spot," causing the rock's shape to crumble and disintegrate, as if it had been weathered into dust by the passage of time.

To put it extremely, if he could see the "point" that "ends the universe," he might be able to bring about the universe's "heat death" with a single touch of his finger.

So Gu Hua's chuunibyou description just now was not an exaggeration. The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception truly means "I'll kill even gods!"

Han Fulai now understands why the ancient Hua-style martial arts restored by Xingqiu are "pupil techniques".

According to Xingqiu's understanding, the ancient Chinese school's use of spears and swords is fundamentally based on the application of the "Eye of God." Martial artists should regard the "Eye of God" as an extension of the body, and spears and swords are, in turn, an extension of the "Eye of God."

People say that wielding a sword is like wielding a finger, but I say that the light of a sword is like the gaze.

This is Xingqiu's definition of "pupil technique".

But this definition is incorrect.

Because during the time when Gu Hua was active, the war between demons and gods had not yet ended, the "Seven Orders" had not yet been established, and there was no "Eye of God" in this world.

"Pupil technique" does not refer to "the eye of God", but rather to "the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception".

Like "Byakugan," "Sharingan," and "Rinnegan," it is a "pupil technique" in the literal sense.

Han Fulai initially thought that the martial arts of the Guhua School were flashy but impractical, so he understood them as the techniques of a "battle mage"—this is close to the truth, but not entirely correct, because Guhua was not exactly a "battle mage".

Essentially, it was his roommate Gu Hua who later practiced using the most cringeworthy and coolest pose to cut the "death lines" on monsters.

That's not real fighting techniques or combat skills at all; it's just pure showing off and posing... Just like Han Fulai, although he doesn't know proper gun skills, he can wield a gun in a very elegant way—because being strong is a matter of one version, but being cool is a matter of a lifetime!

Damn it!

Why is it that all the skills Gu Hua learns are cool and stylish, while he can only use the thickest shield to take the most vicious attacks?

Is something wrong?

Seeing Gu Hua laughing so happily, Bai Chen decided to pour cold water on him.

She flicked her finger, and a handful of spring water descended, drenching Gu Hua's head and face, finally calming the grinning Long Aotian down a bit.

"Don't get too cocky. In your current state, let alone Sky Island, even I could easily defeat you." Bai Chen's lips curled into a mocking smile. "...You can't even see the 'dots' and 'lines' on my body, can you?"

Gu Hua really wanted to say, "Sister, I've seen both your 'dots' and 'lines,' especially your abs, they're really amazing..." He swallowed hard but didn't dare to say it.

Bai Chen knew exactly what he was thinking, and flicked his forehead: "It's because you have too many lewd thoughts in your head!"

"How dare one speak of 'godslaying' without a sublime standard comparable to that of an entire world?"

"Unless your shoulders can bear the weight of a world, you will never be a match for Sky Island."

Despite being scolded, Gu Hua was still grinning foolishly—now that he already had the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, going to Zhong Li to cling to his thigh and learn some immortal techniques would be a piece of cake for him to uphold justice.

Bai Chen sighed softly: "If you want to defeat Sky Island, you must become stronger. Go and gather as much power as possible from the 'people' in this world. This is my advice to you."

Seeing Bai Chen speak so seriously, Gu Hua also put away his playful expression and nodded earnestly.

—Later, he traveled far and wide to protect the people, all because of this piece of advice.

When he broke through the void, he had already collected the "wishes" of the people of a nation, and became a god who was not a demon god.

Bai Chen paused, then said, "To see 'death' in a creature stronger than you, you must understand 'cause and effect.' The world you see now is the phenomenon closest to the essence of the world. The lines you cut are not ordinary divisions, but the result of things being led to 'death.'"
