Chapter 154 - Chapter 154

Star Rail Train.

"Go to sleep. Don't think about continuing to challenge the Forgotten Hall until your spirit recovers."

"I'll be here to guard."

After Takagi used the Trailblaze authority to teleport everyone back, he walked to the sofa and sat down.

He picked up the travel guide he hadn't finished reading and started reading it.

Signora, Cloud Retainer, and others looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

After a long time, Lisa sighed slightly helplessly.

"Even if you ask me to go to sleep, Takagi."

"But I probably can't fall asleep no matter what right now."

"If I lie in bed and can't fall asleep, I will think wildly and waste extra energy."

Lisa said.

"Is that so... Do you want me to sing a lullaby by your bed?"

Takagi moved his gaze away from the travel guide and looked at Lisa.

Lisa: "If possible, please be sure to sing me a lullaby."

Takagi: "Forget it, if I sing, I'm afraid you'll be even less able to sleep."

Lisa chuckled twice and came to sit beside Takagi:

"Why is Lord Takagi so sure without trying?"

"However, it's actually okay not to sing."

"As long as Lord Takagi can stay by my bed and hold my hands."

"I think I should be able to fall asleep."

Takagi: "Aren't you worried that I might accidentally end up in your bed?"

Lisa: "Wouldn't that be even better?"

After speaking, Lisa gave Takagi a sweet smile.

[Rosaria: As expected of Lisa, she easily said what was difficult for us to say.]

[Kaeya: Is that so? I think if it were you, Rosaria, you would also be someone who would dare to say such words.]

[Rosaria: At least, I'm not as sincere as Lisa, am I not?]

[Kaeya: That's true.]

[Amber: No, that's not it, right? Is Miss Lisa really planning to sleep... sleep with Lord Takagi?]

[Eula: I feel like she isn't joking at all.]

[Dori: As expected of Miss Lisa, she easily did something many women couldn't do.

If only Lord Takagi liked lolis, then I could make a move myself.]

[Dehya: To be able to set up an Astral Express station right outside your home, you really are quite diligent, Dori.]

[Dori: I can't help it. I can't just watch as the station leading to Herta Space Station also falls into Mondstadt's hands, can I?

Speaking of which, Dehya, how about we cooperate? I'll provide the mora, and you'll be in charge of seducing Lord Takagi?]

[Dehya: Sed- seducing?! Aren't your words a bit too bold?]

[Yae Miko: To put it more directly, it can indeed be called seduction.

It's just a shame I'm not at the Space Station, otherwise I might give seducing Lord Takagi a try.]

[Ei:...]

[Columbina: For us, we'll have to rely on Signora, right?]

....

"It's fine if you don't want to sleep."

"With your physiques, as long as you don't continue to expend energy experiencing the Forgotten Hall, your spirits will slowly recover."

Takagi leaned on the sofa and said casually.

"Since that's the case, let's chat."

Lisa moved her body, getting a little closer to Takagi.

"Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

Takagi put down the Trailblaze Guide and asked.

"Let's talk about the Aeon of Propagation."

"Let me think, what should I say?"

"There are too many confusing points in my mind, I don't know where to start for a moment."

Lisa put her index finger to her sexy red lips and said, looking slightly troubled.

As Lisa finished speaking, Signora, Nahida, and Cloud Retainer also each found a seat closer to Takagi.

Dottore stood beside Takagi, showing no intention of leaving.

Evidently, rather than sleeping, everyone hoped to learn more information about the Aeon of Propagation from Takagi.

"How about we talk about why the Aeon of Propagation appeared in that mysterious space in such an illusory form?"

Dottore said with a smile.

[Tartaglia: The Aeon of Propagation is illusory?]

[Arlecchino: It seems there are some hidden details about Dottore embarking on a Path that we didn't know.]

"You didn't know?" Signora first looked at Dottore in confusion, then quickly nodded in understanding.

"Right, in that mysterious space over there."

"You were standing close to the Aeon of Propagation and didn't hear Lord Takagi's words."

"It's normal that you wouldn't know the Aeon of Propagation is already dead."

Signora murmured softly.

[Dehya: Huh! The Aeon of Propagation is already dead?! Did I hear that wrong?]

[Candace: You didn't hear wrong. Although Signora's words were quiet just now,

I heard them very clearly. She did say that the Aeon of Propagation is already dead.]

[Lumine: Good heavens, there's even this! How exactly did the Aeon of Propagation die?

It couldn't really have been killed by the Aeon of Trailblaze, could it?]

"The Aeon of Propagation is already dead... Is that why the Aeon of Propagation I saw was just an illusory shadow?"

Dottore muttered to himself.

"That's right! Lord Takagi said that the Aeon of Propagation was smashed to death by the Aeon of Preservation using a hammer for building walls."

Nahida said.

[Noelle: Aeon of Preservation Qlipoth?!]

[Candace: Did the Aeon of Propagation really clash with the Aeon of Preservation Qlipoth?]

[Zhongli: The Aeon of Preservation's actions are the way of Preservation, and the Aeon of Propagation's actions are the way of plunder. It's normal for the two Aeons to clash.]

[Furina: Could it be that the Aeon of Propagation just happened to destroy a world preserved by the Aeon of Preservation, and then was targeted by the Aeon of Preservation?

Speaking of which, is that wall-building Aeon of Preservation really that powerful?]

[Mountain Shaper: Someone who is good at using shields is not necessarily bad at attacking. Rex Lapis is like this, and I suppose the Aeon of Preservation is also like this.]

"How about it? Are you disappointed to hear that the Aeon of your Path has already died?"

Signora rested her chin on her hand, looking at Dottore with interest.

"How could I be?"

"Although the Aeon of Propagation is dead, it doesn't affect my embarking on the Path of Propagation, does it?"

Dottore said with a smile.

"You guy, aren't you even a little disappointed?"

Signora frowned.

Dottore shook his head and looked at Takagi beside him.

"Lord Takagi, you said before that after an Aeon perishes, the Path they pioneered will not dissipate."

"However, it is possible for it to be torn apart by other powerful existences."

"Then is it possible for this Path to be completely occupied by a certain person?"

Dottore asked.

Takagi sized up the Dottore before him and asked:

"What, you want to swallow the entire Path of Propagation and become the new Aeon of Propagation?"

Dottore smiled but did not answer.

However, everyone present clearly sensed Dottore's intention.

"You plan to become the Aeon of Propagation?"

"There should be a limit to joking, right?"

Signora frowned her beautiful eyebrows, looking at Dottore with disgust.

She didn't like Dottore to begin with.

Now that Dottore seemed to have the idea of turning into a giant bug, she naturally disliked him even more.

Nahida, Cloud Retainer, and Lisa also stared intently at Dottore, as if they wanted to see through him with their eyes.

[Lumine: Good heavens, Dottore plans to swallow the entire Path of Propagation and become the new Aeon of Propagation?]

[Rosaria: This Dottore, does he really want to become a bug?]

[Ningguang: If Dottore becomes the Aeon of Propagation, will Teyvat be his first prey?]

[Dehya: That's truly a dangerous idea. We absolutely cannot let this guy become the Aeon of Propagation.]

[Candace: Don't worry, becoming an Aeon is definitely not that simple.

It's already good luck that he could embark on the Path of Propagation. Wanting to become the Aeon of Propagation? That's completely a pipe dream.]

[Kaveh: But speaking of which, Dottore has embarked on a Path whose Aeon has already perished.

Will it be easier for him to swallow the power of the entire Path than for someone who has embarked on another Path?]

[Alhaitham: Perhaps, but the difficulty is certainly not something we can imagine.

Although Dottore is very courageous, he takes things too much for granted.]

[Venti: If it were really that easy to become an Aeon,

If it were really that easy, the God of Geo next door would at least become the Aeon of Contracts.]

[Zhongli:...]

"Heh heh, having ambition is not a bad thing."

"After all, many people want to ascend higher."

"I can understand that you have the idea of becoming the Aeon of Propagation."

"However..."

Takagi sat on the sofa, supporting his chin with both hands, looking deeply at Dottore before continuing:

"Even assuming you become the new Aeon of Propagation, whether you will possess the power of the original Aeon of Propagation, Tayzzyronth, is also a question."

"After all, when Tayzzyronth fell, the Path of Propagation might have already been diluted and torn."

"Furthermore, the original Aeon of Propagation, Tayzzyronth, attracted the hostility of other Aeons because of His excessive 'Propagation' behavior."

"Do you also want to experience the taste of being hostilely targeted and pursued by other Aeons?"

Hearing this, Dottore widened His eyes in surprise:

"The Path Power of the Path of Propagation might have already been diluted and torn?"

Takagi smiled and nodded, saying:

"Of course, you wouldn't think that if the Aeon of Propagation is killed, the Path He represents won't be affected at all."

"You should know that it was other Aeons who wielded weapons against the Aeon of Propagation."

Takagi's words greatly surprised Dottore and the other passengers.

However, after a moment's thought, everyone understood.

Yes, the Aeon of Propagation has already fallen, so it's normal for the Path of Propagation to be affected.

However...

"However, since I can still embark on the Path of Propagation."

"This at least proves that this Path still possesses considerable power, right, Lord Takagi."

Dottore asked.

"That is natural, the current Path of Propagation is still considerably influenced by the Aeon of Propagation, Tayzzyronth."

"Otherwise, the slices that Dottore split off wouldn't have turned into bugs."

"In fact, even though the Aeon of Propagation, Tayzzyronth, has passed away."

"But the bugs He created are still rampant throughout the Universe."

"And there will still be many worlds facing the threat of these pests."

Takagi said.

If that's the case, this Path can still produce a new god, right?

Dottore thought to himself, a satisfied smile appearing on His face.

As Dottore's colleague, Signora naturally understood His thoughts as soon as she saw His expression.

"Are you really not worried that the Aeon of Preservation will swing His massive hammer at you?"

Signora asked with a frown.

"Of course I'm afraid, that's the Aeon of Preservation's massive hammer."

"As a mortal, of course I would feel afraid."

Dottore laughed.

"Is that so? I don't see much fear in you."

"Could it be that you think although Tayzzyronth was taken down by the Aeon of Preservation."

"But that doesn't mean you won't be taken down by the Aeon of Propagation after you become the existence in charge of the Path of Propagation?"

Signora sneered.

"Or perhaps, Dottore thinks that after embarking on the Path of Propagation, as long as He doesn't create a Swarm Disaster like Tayzzyronth, the Aeon of Preservation won't target Him?"

Cloud Retainer pushed up her glasses and muttered.

Takagi shook his head and said:

"The Path of Propagation is an extremely pure Path."

"Tayzzyronth can be said to have carried the concept of 'Propagation' to the extreme."

"His empty head probably only contained the idea of continuously creating bugs."

"If Dottore truly takes charge of the Path of 'Propagation', He will inevitably be bound by the Path of 'Propagation' and turn into a monster that only knows Propagation."

"Unless He can add something else to the Path of Propagation, otherwise, His head will also become devoid of anything other than Propagation due to being in charge of the Path of Propagation."

Hearing this, Signora looked at Dottore with interest:

"You don't think you can not only take charge of the Path of Propagation, but also add something else to the Path of Propagation, do you?"

"Although the pursuit of power is human instinct, isn't this idea a bit too exaggerated?"

Dottore chuckled softly twice but did not answer Signora's question.

This made Signora even more displeased with Dottore.

"Furthermore, even if someone can take charge of the Path of Propagation again."

"Then the Aeon He needs to worry about is definitely not just Preservation."

Takagi suddenly said.

"Lord Takagi, do you mean we also need to worry about [The Trailblaze]?"

Dottore asked curiously.

The previous journey in the Simulated Universe made everyone understand that the Aeon of Propagation may have clashed with the Aeon of Trailblaze.

And Takagi is suspected to be the Aeon of Trailblaze who is currently recovering.

Since Dottore wants to take charge of the Path of Propagation, He naturally also needs to worry about Takagi.

Nahida, Lisa, Cloud Retainer, and Signora all looked at Takagi simultaneously, wanting to learn more about the Aeon from Takagi's mouth.

"Although the Aeon of Trailblaze Akivili did participate in the final battle of the Aeon of Propagation's demise."

"But Akivili has now disappeared, so if someone truly becomes the Aeon of Propagation, they don't need to worry too much about [The Trailblaze]."

Takagi said.

"The Aeon of Trailblaze did indeed fight with the Aeon of Propagation."

"And He even participated in the final battle of the Aeon of Propagation's demise?"

"Could it be... could it be that before the Aeon of Propagation was hammered to death by the Aeon of Preservation."

"The Aeon of Propagation took the lead in taking down the Aeon of Trailblaze?"

"The Aeon of Propagation was actually taken down by the joint efforts of the Aeon of Trailblaze and the Aeon of Preservation, two gods?"

Signora asked in surprise.

"Is the Aeon of Propagation that strong?"

"He actually needed two Aeons to join forces to take Him down?"

"And He also needed to pay the price of the Aeon of Trailblaze's silence?"

Cloud Retainer placed her right hand on her chest and muttered in surprise.

But soon, Cloud Retainer shook her head again and muttered:

"No, that's not right! Since Lord Takagi said that after someone becomes the Aeon of Propagation, they not only need to worry about the Aeon of Preservation, but also said that they don't need to worry too much about the Aeon of Trailblaze."

"This means that the demise of the Aeon of Propagation, in addition to involving the Aeon of Preservation and the Aeon of Trailblaze, is very likely to have involved other Aeons!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but swallow.

Their gazes towards Takagi also became increasingly fervent.

The corner of Takagi's mouth lifted, and He said with a light chuckle:

"That's right, in the final battle where the Aeon of Propagation ultimately perished."

"Although in the end it was the Aeon of Preservation who hammered Him to death, blow by blow."

"But it wasn't just the Aeon of Preservation who took action."

"And participating in this battle to eliminate the Aeon of Propagation, in addition to the Aeon of Trailblaze, there were at least three other Aeons involved."

"That's right, just as you thought, the Aeon of Propagation was beaten to death by many Aeons."

[Furina: The Aeon of Propagation... was beaten to death by several Aeons?!]

[Lyney: This is truly a result far beyond my imagination, I didn't expect that there were as many as 5 Aeons involved in the battle that led to the Aeon of Propagation's death!]

Neuvillette: This also indirectly shows how repulsive the Aeon of Propagation is, even the Aeons cannot stand the existence of the Aeon of Propagation.
