“Ugh!” A heavy sigh echoed.
Eula, seated on a rock by the lake, propped herself up with both hands, gazing at the sunset gradually sinking in the distance.
She lamented her unfortunate fate.
She had just received a message from Amber, who was inquiring about her current location.
From Amber's anxious tone, it was easy to tell that the citizens of Mondstadt were undoubtedly deeply dissatisfied with her choice to join Su Xuan's ranks.
Eula didn't tell Amber her exact whereabouts, she simply sent a smiley face emoji and reported that she was safe.
She also planned to run away temporarily.
“Damn the Fifth Descender, evil Su Xuan.”
“Before, I could still return to Mondstadt.”
“Now, you've ruined me, forcing me to wander the wilderness. This grudge, I'll remember it.”
Even though she was a mature woman, Eula would occasionally show her childish innocence when alone.
Her puffed cheeks spoke of her inner discontent towards Su Xuan.
However, after a while, Eula shook her head and chuckled bitterly.
What did all this have to do with Su Xuan?
It was all her own choice.
“For now, I’d better find something to eat and a more secluded place to rest.”
Eula stood up, her gaze fixed on the direction of Mondstadt.
“Hopefully, things will take a turn for the better, otherwise, I'll be homeless and have no choice but to seek refuge with the Fifth Descender.”
“But, where is Su Xuan hiding? He's like a ghost, nowhere to be found.”
Eula chose to avoid the limelight, opting to wander the wilderness for the time being, hoping for a reversal of fortune.
Windrise Ruins.
At this time, Su Xuan was unaware that he had been noted in Eula's little black book.
He was currently basking in the benefits of his new powers bestowed by the lottery.
Fueled by the excitement of the light screen, the communication in the chat group, and the emotional extensions of people's private interactions in the real world.
Su Xuan quickly accumulated enough for another twenty pulls.
【Control of the Force, primarily manifested as gravitational, repulsive, and weight-related interactions.】
【Its extension into tangible skills are: Universal Pull, Divine Punishment, Simulated Black Hole.】
He had landed three skills in one go.
Even Su Xuan, as the system's owner, was astonished by the generosity of the 【Future Weaver】 system.
There was also a very interesting item.
【Energy Restraining Collar: When placed on another's neck, it can react to their energy fluctuations and deliver electric shocks. It has an automatic damage tolerance assessment function, with a maximum power output that can render someone unconscious, but not fatal and will not cause damage to the recipient’s organs.】
The remaining rewards were pretty much the same, mostly combat experience, overall improvements, and a mishmash of exquisite lifestyle products.
Su Xuan looked up at the setting sun.
“Tonight, may the people of Mondstadt sleep well.”
Su Xuan chuckled, combined with his newly acquired abilities, he released his last prediction for today.
【As night descends upon Teyvat.】
【Su Xuan walks through the valley, until he reaches a green barrier that blocks his path, he stops slowly.】
【He touches the barrier in front of him.】
【Strong wind whips across his palm.】
【“This is the barrier set by the Anemo Archon, Barbatos.”】
【“Even Stormterror, Dvalin, doesn't nest here. What's the point of setting a barrier here?”】
【As Su Xuan spoke, the space around his palm, which touched the barrier, suddenly twisted. The twisted space formed a dark void at a speed visible to the naked eye.】
【The dark void seemed to devour everything around it, and the powerful attraction quickly absorbed all the wind that formed the barrier.】
【The barrier left by Barbatos in the Windrise Ruins disappeared instantly.】
【Su Xuan stepped inside, only to be greeted by a scene of utter devastation.】
【A cliff-like corridor stretched all the way to the damaged tower in the distance.】
【Near the tower, there were still several wind walls blocking the way.】
The new scene left everyone baffled.
What was the Fifth Descender doing in the Windrise Ruins?
However, Barbatos, who was using the millennia-old gale to search for Su Xuan in Liyue Harbor, frowned.
“What did he just do? He actually absorbed all the barriers I set up?!”
Those were wind barriers that were like a dome, directly covering the entire Windrise Ruins.
Su Xuan had actually absorbed and dissipated them so easily.
Dvalin rolled his eyes, unsure how to express his shock.
The appearance of Beelzebub had already dealt him a heavy blow, and this time, even Barbatos had not been spared.
【Rosaria】：“So, the legendary barrier set by the Anemo Archon Barbatos is so weak?”
【Fuhua】：“What?! This is a barrier set up by the Anemo Archon, and he broke it just like that?”
【Tartaglia】：“Eula has become a Valkyrie, isn't this the perfect time to attack Mondstadt? Why is he going to the Windrise Ruins again?”
【Jean】：“You Fatui are all so bored, aren't you? Are you hoping to see him attack our Mondstadt?”
【Ganyu】：“I remember he told Eula after Amber ran away that he still had some things to take care of, and after he was done, he would personally attack Mondstadt.”
【Yae Miko】：“Ganyu-san is really observant. You’ve even caught those details.”
Abyss Order.
Kaedehara Kazuha diligently observed, like a detective, unwilling to miss any trace of Su Xuan’s actions.
Sadly, Su Xuan's actions truly baffled him.
“Enjou, why did he go to the Windrise Ruins?”
“Besides Hilichurls and slimes, there’s nothing worth investigating there.”
“Indeed, there's nothing worth investigating in the Windrise Ruins, Your Highness,” Enjou replied respectfully. “Stormterror, Dvalin, doesn’t nest there anymore, but I truly cannot understand his purpose for going there.”
“Could it be that he wants to take advantage of the starry night to admire the beauty of the Windrise Ruins?”
【Su Xuan, like entering a deserted land, effortlessly broke through all the wind barriers.】
【He walked towards the top of the tower, one step at a time.】
【As he walked, he didn't look back or pause, as if he had come for a specific purpose, with clear direction.】
【Until he reached a discarded Ruin Guard, Su Xuan stopped.】
【He aimed his hand at the Ruin Guard’s core eye.】
【The next second, the Ruin Guard's eye was in his hand.】
【Su Xuan examined the tiller’s eye in his hand, nodded in satisfaction, and then put it into his Void Space.】
【Under the moonlight, a blonde man with an eyepatch suddenly emerged from behind him.】
【“The thing you just took, could it be...”】
【The blonde man cautiously stared at Su Xuan's back, frowning, “You don’t have the Abyss’s aura.”】
【“You aren’t from the Abyss Order.”】
【“Who are you?! Why are you taking that item?”】
【Su Xuan didn't answer the man's question directly, instead, he chuckled with an air of amusement, “You actually managed to find this.”】
【“The Last Light of Khaenri’ah, the Sword of Dainsleif.”】
