He changed Tiwat

No, it's impossible.

Ying quickly dismissed this conjecture.

As an adventurer, she had explored many secret realms before, and there might not be many people on the entire continent of Teyvat who were more familiar with "leve teleportation" than her. She had never encountered that kind of sudden blackout during teleportation, along with the feeling of being pulled away from her body and the dizziness.

So, if it's not "ley line teleportation," then it must be...

"After we left Sumeru City, did we enter a new illusion?" Ying asked.

Han Fulai frowned and did not answer.

He knew very well that there was definitely something unusual about the space outside Sumeru City, so he was on high alert the whole way, paying close attention to changes in his surroundings. But the transition from the western suburbs of Sumeru City to Vimo Village was completely unexpected. Before he could react, Vimo Village was already in front of him.

To be honest, he couldn't determine exactly what had just happened.

"Look back."

Seeing that Han Fulai did not answer, Ying hurried a few steps, wanting to try to return the way she came.

Han Fulai stretched out his arm to stop Ying.

"and many more."

He bent down, picked up a small pebble from the ground, weighed it in his hand, imbued it with a bit of magical power, and threw it back the way he came.

Han Fulai's current strength far surpasses that of the martial arts heroes in wuxia novels who can injure people with a mere flick of a flower or a leaf. He can easily perform the "Flick of the Finger" technique by simply flicking something with his finger. The small pebble flew through the air quickly and steadily, and it looked like it could easily fly another hundred meters or so.

however--

"It's gone..."

Ying had been staring at that pebble without blinking, and she could guarantee that her gaze hadn't left it for even a second.

But things are so strange. The pebble was flying just fine, but suddenly disappeared in mid-air, as if it had melted into the air.

Han Fulai remained silent, but picked up a few more pebbles and repeated his actions in a different direction.

The result was the same: the pebbles all disappeared in mid-air.

He then tried throwing a stone vertically overhead.

The pebble also disappeared in mid-air, ignoring the effects of gravity, and never fell back to the ground.

"It's a new illusion."

Han Fulai stated the conclusion of the experiment: "The distance the stones travel is approximately 100 meters in radius from us, which is the boundary of this illusion."

"The pebbles I threw earlier did not touch any obstacles or penetrate any kind of barrier before disappearing. The reason the pebbles disappeared was because they exceeded the boundaries of the illusion. They were things that only existed within this illusion, and they could no longer maintain their existence once they left the scope of the illusion."

"Also... going back the way we came is impossible. After we entered the new illusion, our location has completely changed. If you wander around, you might get trapped in the new illusion."

“I marked the ‘void terminal’ I left for Dixia with my fairy power. Assuming that Dixia is still in the same place and has not moved, then, according to the direction I perceive, she is actually directly above us, at a distance of some distance.”

He pointed to the sky above and then smiled reassuringly at Yingmei: "We still have a way out, so don't worry."

The reason why Han Fulai gave the "void terminal" to Dixia and left behind a "lighthouse" was precisely this.

In theory, placing road signs on trees or rocks on the outskirts of Sumeru City would have a similar effect, so it seems unnecessary to have Dixia stay in one place. However, the cities and villages in the illusion are all false "scenery," with completely uncertain locations that could change at any time. Leaving marks on the "scenery" cannot guarantee safety.

Similarly, handing the signpost over to someone else is not very reliable, since most people are currently being affected by "reincarnation" in their dreams, and their consciousness may disappear at any time, causing the signpost to be lost.

Desia, who possesses the Eye of God and knows the truth about "reincarnation," is a rather special being. Her consciousness is not easily affected by "reincarnation," and she is very trustworthy—she is even willing to risk her life against the Order of the Church for the promise to protect Dinazet.

Since she promised to stay where she was, she wouldn't budge even if the sky fell. Han Fulai trusted her.

“…So that’s how it is.” Ying looked at Han Fulai with some admiration.

He was able to deduce so much information from just a few simple stones, and he considered both the advance and retreat so thoroughly. He truly deserves the title.

Yes, that's the sense of security that an "external brain" brings. No matter what the situation, there's always a way to get things done with it!

Han Fulai turned to look at the quiet little village.

"I need more information, it would be better to go in and take a look."

The two entered Vimo Village and, after walking a few steps, encountered a group of lively children.

"Sister Lana is back! She must have brought back a new story. Let's hurry and find her! Let's see who gets there last; the slowest one is the Floating Spirit!"

The one shouting loudly was a little boy with a chubby face and a hat shaped like a tiger with long sideburns, which was very cute.

The group of children behind him were also wearing the same tiger-shaped hats, and they ran with a fierce momentum, looking from a distance like a group of "little tigers" ready to hunt.

As the group of "little tigers" was about to pass by, Ying reached out to stop the leader of the group and ask him about the village.

"Little friend, I have something I want to ask you."

Ying smiled, ready to demonstrate her traveler's skills in asking for directions.

Frequent travelers know that wherever there are people, there are roads; after all, "the road is in your mouth." Even Paimon, the "best guide in Teyvat," doesn't know every route; in fact, she's mostly lost. In those situations, Yingmei has to ask around...

It has to be said that Ying's face is a big advantage. When such a beautiful blonde girl strikes up a conversation, most people will be quite enthusiastic, especially towards men. She can charm anyone from eight to eighty years old.

But the little boy completely ignored Yingmei and didn't even slow down—resulting in the two of them bumping into each other with a "thud."

Ying was certainly not knocked down, but the little boy fell hard on his bottom.

"Ah, I didn't mean to..." Ying was about to help the fallen child up when the child dusted himself off and ran away as if nothing had happened.

An old man nearby laughed and called out, "Youdan, how many times have I told you to slow down? Look at you, you can even fall on flat ground."

The little boy named Youdan made a face at the old man and ran even faster.

From beginning to end, it seemed like no one noticed Ying's presence.

"...They don't seem to be able to see me?" Ying turned around and asked Han Fulai with a puzzled look.

Han Fulai nodded silently: "We don't belong to this illusion, so the people in the illusion can't see us. Otherwise, if such conspicuous outsiders entered the village, the villagers would definitely ask us a few questions."

Moreover, this situation is very similar to that of Nasita—in that "cycle of the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival," Nasita also seemed to be a "transparent person."

When Nasita took him, Ying, and Paimon to the "Health Home," Han Fulai had already noticed the situation on the way. Nasita didn't deliberately use illusion magic to hide herself while walking, but among all the vendors and passersby in the Grand Bazaar, not a single person reacted to Nasita's presence.

"Grandpa Amazya, I'm back!"

Someone was greeting the old man from earlier; the voice sounded like that of a young and lively girl.

Han Fulai and Ying looked towards the source of the sound, but couldn't see anyone.

But Grandpa Amazia waved happily towards the empty space: "Oh, it's Lana. You've worked hard. Although the work of a forest ranger is important, you should come back more often."

The young woman's voice rang out again: "Yes, I know. The patrol is to ensure that those 'little tigers' can play safely outside. The current situation is really making me uneasy."

“By the way, Grandpa Amazia, I’m planning to organize a night watch team. I’ll call on Alfonso, Balan, and Aurelius to strengthen the security around the village… There have been a lot of disappearances lately, and the ‘dead zone’ keeps happening. The jungle is getting more and more dangerous.”

Amazia nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes. Let's do it your way. After all, it's all for the children's good."

At this moment, the "little tigers" he mentioned also gathered in an open space at the entrance of the village, forming a hollow circle, as if they were surrounding someone.

"Is Lana also an 'invisible person'? But if she is, how did these people see her?" Ying was even more confused.

It sounds like this woman named Lana is the forest ranger of Vimo Village, and she's very popular with the children there. Every time she returns from her patrols, the children pester her to tell them stories… but she can't see Lana at all.

Han Fulai looked at the group of children thoughtfully: "Let's go, let's follow them and see."

Yudan then pulled a handful of golden mushrooms from her pocket, holding them high above her head, as if showing off a treasure: "Sister Lana, I picked a lot of star mushrooms for you to eat!"

Lana, the "invisible person," seemed taken aback when she saw the star mushrooms. She didn't accept Yudan's gift, but instead adopted a scolding tone: "No! Yudan, didn't I tell you not to leave the village? These star mushrooms can only be found in the rainforest. You must have sneaked into the forest to play again! If you don't behave, you'll be caught by the 'Long-haired Tiger Luoja'!"

Yudan pouted a little, looking a bit aggrieved: "I'm all grown up now, I'm a big tiger, I'm not afraid!"

Just then, another little boy raised his hand: "Did Sister Lana catch the Crocodile King this time?"

The little girl next to him also raised her hand, trying to attract Lana's attention: "Sudabe wants to hear Lana tell stories about the forest!"

"Hmm...we didn't catch the Crocodile King this time." Lana sounded a little troubled. "Well then, how about I tell you the story of 'Lanalo' today?"

“'Lanalo' are small, round, plant-like spirits; they are the inhabitants of the forest and the guardian spirits of the trees…”

"And it looks a lot like a cabbage!" Yudan interjected.

"Hey! Don't disturb Sister Lana's story!" The little girl named Sudabe glared at Yudan with displeasure.

Lana's voice sounded somewhat suspicious: "Hmm? Yudan, have you ever seen the legendary 'Lanalo'?"

Yudan looked away guiltily: "N-nothing...?"

“Hmm… alright.” Lana ignored Yudan’s interruption and continued her story: “Our Sumeru Forest is vast, inhabited by countless wondrous creatures, and the ‘Lanaruo’ is a very magical creature. It is said that only those who have a ‘destiny’ with them can see them…”

“I think I’ve seen the ‘Lanalo’ she mentioned before…” Ying recalled the incident when she delivered food to the scholar Haibasha in Daocheng Forest.

Han Fulai was pondering whether the existence of these "invisible people" was related to "Lanalo".

Just then, he suddenly heard a voice:

"Di-"

Chapter 86 "Dream Bubble" and "Simulated Universe" [4k]

"Di-"

Upon hearing that voice, Han Fulai's muscles tensed up instantly.

He remembered clearly that he had heard this voice during the second "Flora Festival," which was the "cycle" of "The Trial of the Great Sage."

Upon hearing this sound, the second "cycle" immediately ended.

In the last "reincarnation," the voice rang in his mind, but this time, he heard it clearly with his ears.

"Did you hear that strange sound?" Ying reacted almost simultaneously.

Her gaze sharpened as she looked toward the source of the sound—the location of Lana, the "invisible woman."

That sound just now came from Lana's direction.

Lana was still telling stories to the children of Vimo Village, seemingly oblivious to the "beep" sound. The children listening to Lana's stories, and the elderly people nearby, also showed no reaction.

...It seems that only Ying and Han Fulai heard that voice.

Where did this sound come from? What does it represent?

Before Ying could figure it out, she suddenly heard Han Fulai growl, "Watch out!"

Then, she felt someone grab her hand.

Before she could react, Han Fulai had already pulled her up and soared into the sky.

Last time at Yuanxia Palace, he seemed to have held her hand in the same way as they flew out of the ground together.

The moment they left the ground, the surface of Vimo Village suddenly collapsed, as if an invisible force was pulling at their ankles, as if it didn't want them to leave.

Fortunately, Han Fulai reacted in time, and the ground collapse did not affect the two of them.

They witnessed a spectacular sight from the air.

Centered on the unseen Lana, within a radius of 100 meters, all houses, trees, rocks... are continuously collapsing, as if someone has pushed over dominoes from the outside, causing them to fall inwards. This illusion, too, is crumbling and shrinking as the "setup" collapses...

Han Fulai didn't dare linger in the air. He immediately carried Yingmei upwards, breaking through the boundaries of the illusion.

As they broke through the limits of the Illusionary Realm, the Vimalakirti Manor beneath their feet also reached its limit, collapsing into a tiny sphere.

Drawn by an unseen force, the sphere shot into the sky with a "whoosh," flying towards the sun like a moth drawn to a flame, before disappearing without a trace.

Ying looked at the sun in the sky, her face filled with horror—if she hadn't been able to leave that illusion in time, she would have been thrown into the sun along with the illusion...

No, it's still uncertain whether that thing is actually the sun, but Ying definitely doesn't want to be sucked away by it... Maybe if she is sucked in, her consciousness will also disappear.

"Watch your step." Han Fulai took Ying's small hand and guided her to look in the direction of Vimo Manor.

Vimo Manor has vanished, leaving only a void of darkness, as if a piece of space had been forcibly removed.

Beside the excavated space, countless large and small white transparent spheres were rolling, rotating, and moving rapidly, quickly filling the gap that had just appeared.

In a far more distant place, through the gaps between countless spheres, the two glimpsed a huge sphere—it possessed unique and magnificent colors, like rosy clouds, constantly changing and shifting.

The entire space they were in consisted of the "sun" overhead, a huge "colorful sphere", and countless transparent "small spheres".

If Han Fu were to describe it, he might say that he is in outer space, looking at the sun, the earth, and countless "artificial satellites" orbiting the earth...

"Sitting still, one can travel 80,000 miles a day; gazing at the sky, one can see a thousand rivers." Han Fulai murmured a line of poetry. "So that's how it is. This is the secret outside the city of Sumeru."

"What do you understand?" Ying asked immediately.

"You understand why we suddenly appeared in Vimalakirti Village and where we are now," Han Fulai replied. "The reason the Great Sage sealed off Sumeru City is because countless dreams exist outside the city. If someone leaves the area of ​​'Sumeru City's Flower Goddess's Birthday,' they will, like us, enter the dreams of others."

“The Vimalakirti Manor we just saw was the dream of that forest ranger named Lana. Those transparent ‘small spheres’ can be called ‘dream bubbles’, and each ‘dream bubble’ represents a person who is dreaming. The large ‘dream bubble’ in the distance is the ‘Birthday of the Flower Goddess of Sumeru City’, the ‘Birthday Festival of the Flower Goddess of Reincarnation’.”

“Look, these ‘dream bubbles’ are constantly moving rapidly in this space. After we left the area of ​​Sumeru City, we stepped into Lana’s ‘dream bubble’, and Lana’s ‘dream bubble’ carried us away from Sumeru City. However, we, who were inside the ‘dream bubble’, could not feel ourselves moving.”
