Chapter 45 - Chapter 45: This Also Counts as Holding the Truth of Teyvat

Seeing the Skyfrost Nail mentioned in Su Xuan's diary.

The Ladies were all bewildered, few knew what this thing was or what it specifically did.

But the word [divine punishment] stood out.

One could tell with their toes that this was a punishment from Celestia to the mortal realm.

On the other side of the sea, Raiden Ei's delicate body suddenly trembled.

Her gaze involuntarily turned towards Mondstadt.

Even across the boundless ocean, she could feel Su Xuan's overwhelming presence.

"Skyfrost Nail, he..." Raiden Ei didn't know what words to use to describe Su Xuan, who was about to reproduce the Skyfrost Nail.

Su Xuan's Psychokinesis, its terrifying destructive power was indeed frightening.

But the Skyfrost Nail was a symbol of Celestia's judgment.

"Such a supreme symbol, in his hands, is actually so easily attainable," Raiden Ei murmured in a daze.

Fortunately, remembering Su Xuan's words, "Inazuma is yours during the day, and you are mine at night," Raiden Ei's tense mood relaxed slightly.

"No, this is not the time to think about such random things."

"I must quickly unite with the Shogun to restore Inazuma to its proper path, so that when Su Xuan visits again, he can see my changes."

Dragonspine.

Two streaks of light passed through the swirling cloud storm at the summit, looking down, the vast land below them was breathtaking.

Eula was filled with awe and yearning.

Her heart was also deeply attracted by this ability to soar freely in the sky, a feeling she could only describe as romantic.

It is said that in Mondstadt, lovers would sit under Starsnatch Cliff and count the stars, but compared to the ability to soar freely in the sky, counting stars seemed utterly insignificant.

However, this act was probably only achievable by this person who could use Psychokinesis.

Glancing at Su Xuan not far beside her, Eula even wanted to take his hand at that moment.

Unfortunately, Su Xuan's attention was entirely on a stone pillar with fragments floating around it.

After a while, Su Xuan withdrew his hand from the Skyfrost Nail.

He lightly snapped his fingers, and suddenly, two nails identical to the broken one before them floated to Su Xuan's left and right.

However, the Skyfrost Nails Su Xuan reproduced were complete and undamaged.

"Did you succeed?" Eula asked excitedly.

"Yes, I succeeded." Su Xuan nodded slightly.

Eula leaned closer and looked, asking curiously, "You said this is divine punishment from Celestia. What exactly is its purpose?"

"I mean, how does it punish?"

Su Xuan did not directly answer Eula's question, but merely pointed to Dragonspine beneath their feet.

"Do you know that the snowy mountain beneath us was once an ancient kingdom whose civilization was several times stronger than present-day Mondstadt?"

"A civilization several times stronger than Mondstadt?" Eula was surprised.

Eula, who frequently traveled to Dragonspine, naturally knew that Dragonspine was once an ancient kingdom, as many of the ascending stairs and damaged buildings around it allowed for such a judgment.

She just hadn't expected the civilization of this ancient kingdom to be several times stronger than present-day Mondstadt.

"The reason this ancient kingdom became what it is today is because of it." Su Xuan pointed to the damaged Skyfrost Nail: "It happened in an instant."

Eula: "?"

[Through my understanding of the Skyfrost Nail, I successfully learned to reproduce it.]

All the Ladies' eyes widened.

The two brand new Skyfrost Nails floating to Su Xuan's left and right formed a stark contrast with the damaged Skyfrost Nail.

Continuing to read, the Ladies were shocked to their core.

[As for the function of this thing.]

[It can repair the damaged boundaries of the Teyvat world, it can repair the ley lines, and it can suppress the Abyss.]

[Of course, it can also serve as a weapon of truth to destroy the land's surface.]

[Mondstadt's Dragonspine was once the ancient kingdom of Sal Vindagnyr, with its advanced civilization.]

[But due to the local priests misunderstanding the Seelie messenger's meaning, the Seelie messenger was warning them to protect the Silverwhite Tree, not to misuse it.]

[The priests mistakenly believed that the Silverwhite Tree, which was a branch of the ley lines, was a power bestowed upon them by Celestia for their development.]

[So they built an altar beside the Silverwhite Tree and used the ley line elements to develop their nation, whose level of civilization was not inferior to Khaenri'ah.]

[As a result, Celestia dropped a Skyfrost Nail.]

[Sal Vindagnyr thus became Dragonspine.]

[And the Sumeru desert, which was originally a rainforest, became a desert after a nail descended.]

[I have to say, Teyvat's technology is quite good.]

[I, who possess the Authority of Reason, can pick up some nice little trinkets.]

[If a fight really breaks out in the future, besides Psychokinesis, I can also throw Skyfrost Nails.]

Ladies: "?"

No wonder it was a [Divine Punishment] from Celestia.

The destructive results it caused to the continent were too terrifying. One nail falling would not only doom people and nations but also destroy the surrounding environment.

How many years have passed since the Sumeru desert appeared? Not even a single blade of grass grows there.

And according to Su Xuan's past performance and ability analysis,

Psychokinesis, as his own power, can exert stronger force as Su Xuan himself becomes stronger.

In contrast, the Skyfrost Nail is more like a technological product. Su Xuan's own power does not affect its destructive power but rather the number of reproductions.

However, the power of Psychokinesis can at least be controlled by Su Xuan, while the power of a Skyfrost Nail is fixed; it is an uncontrollable force.

You want to throw nails when you fight?

You're probably trying to destroy everything around you, aren't you?

Dear brother, you should just stick to using your Psychokinesis; at least it won't accidentally harm others.

Eula's beautiful eyes trembled slightly as she looked at the two Skyfrost Nails around Su Xuan.

If these were to fall on Mondstadt, Mondstadt would probably become a historical relic of Teyvat.

However, fortunately, Su Xuan only let them shine for a moment before quickly retracting them.

Immediately, Eula saw Su Xuan rub his stomach: "I haven't eaten since I rescued Dvalin. Are you hungry?"

"Let's go back and eat something first."

Eula nodded like a pecking chick: "Okay… I still have some food in my tent. I'll go back and prepare it for you now."
