Xianzhou Luofu.
Divination Commission.
"Hmm?! This is?!"
Fu Xuan suddenly opened her eyes wide, looking at the Matrix of Prescience in front of her in disbelief.
"Fu Xuan, what has surprised you so much?"
The Luofu General, seeing Fu Xuan's surprised expression, walked over with interest.
"General? Why do you have time to come here today?"
Fu Xuan frowned slightly and turned to look at General rakashu Yuan.
"It's a rare day off, I thought I'd take a walk, and I unintentionally came to the Divination Commission."
"Speaking of which, would you mind sharing the results of your divination today?"
General rakashu Yuan asked curiously.
General rakashu Yuan and Fu Xuan had worked together for many years and he understood her very well. Although Fu Xuan performed daily divinations for the Xianzhou, most of the time, Fu Xuan would not show surprise at the divination results. And once Fu Xuan showed surprise at the divination results, it was certainly not a minor matter.
"Alright, the results I divined earlier needed to be reported to you, General, anyway."
"Since you're here, I don't have to make a trip to the Seat of Divine Foresight."
Fu Xuan nodded, her expression suddenly becoming extremely solemn.
"General, I'll get straight to the conclusion."
"When I was divining the whereabouts of the Denizens of Abundance."
"It seems there was the appearance of a suspected new Emanator of Abundance."
Fu Xuan said.
"A new Emanator of Abundance?"
"Fu Xuan, are you sure?"
Upon hearing this, General rakashu Yuan's expression also instantly turned serious.
Although the Xianzhou Alliance's biggest enemy was Yaoshi, the Aeon of Abundance, in fact, Yaoshi the Abundance had no history of attacking the Xianzhou Alliance. Instead, the Denizens of Abundance had fought with the Xianzhou. And in one of the battles with the Denizens of Abundance, General rakashu Yuan had lost a very important friend. In such a situation, suddenly hearing Fu Xuan mention the appearance of a new Emanator of Abundance, how could General rakashu Yuan not be concerned?
"This... I'm not entirely sure."
"Although I divined the appearance of a suspected Emanator of Abundance."
"But I couldn't divine His exact information."
"He seems to be shrouded in a layer of mist."
"However, there is one thing I can be sure of, He is related to Yaoshi the Abundance."
"Moreover, He possesses quite powerful Imaginary Energy."
Fu Xuan said.
"I see, it seems this one is a very mysterious existence."
"It seems I need to trouble you, Fu Xuan, to pay more attention to Him recently."
General rakashu Yuan said with a slight frown.
"I understand."
Fu Xuan nodded heavily.
With the divination result showing a suspected new Emanator of Abundance, both General rakashu Yuan and Fu Xuan had to face it seriously. As she spoke, Fu Xuan turned back to face the Matrix of Prescience, preparing for the second round of divination.
Herta Space Station.
[Charlotte: This... everyone is back at Herta Space Station, is that the end?!]
[Venti: It's a bit of a shame, I really wanted to observe the image of Yaoshi the Abundance more. This was much clearer than the images displayed in the Simulated Universe.]
[Lumine: After all, we met the Aeon in the real world. Not to mention it was clearer than Yaoshi the Abundance in the Simulated Universe, I even felt that the image of Yaoshi the Abundance earlier was more vivid and lifelike than the Yaoshi the Abundance we saw through Barbara in Belobog.]
[Paimon: Yeah, Yaoshi the Abundance didn't even speak back then, let alone respond to people's prayers. This time, she actually responded to Herta's prayer and even spoke to Takagi.]
[Tartaglia: It seems La Signora, The Doctor, and the others missed the chance to pray to Yaoshi the Abundance.]
[Arlecchino: That's not strange. It seems now that Yaoshi the Abundance came specifically for Lord Takagi. Herta's successful wish was just an accident. After Yaoshi the Abundance finished talking with Takagi, she naturally disappeared.]
[Alhaitham: Indeed! Lord Takagi's meeting with Yaoshi the Abundance might have a time limit. Unless Lord Takagi is willing to give up his time meeting with Yaoshi the Abundance, otherwise, others cannot get the chance to talk to Yaoshi the Abundance.]
[Kaveh: Speaking of which, the wheat-like plant Yaoshi the Abundance gave Takagi before disappearing must be an extraordinary item.]
[Zhongli: By universal rationality, items from Aeons are absolutely not ordinary. Perhaps that segment of wheat-like substance can create an Abundance Miracle.]
[Venti: Abundance Miracle, huh? That's quite something. If something like that from Yaoshi were to fall into Teyvat, it would cause quite a stir.]
[Alice: It might even bring about a catastrophe to Teyvat.]
Although the people of Teyvat didn't have enough understanding of Abundance Miracles, they knew that Abundance Miracles were probably the thing that caused the appearance of many Abominations of Abundance in the Universe. Thinking that the wheat Takagi got from Yaoshi might turn Teyvat into a long-lived species like the Abominations of Abundance, the people of Teyvat couldn't help but pay more attention to the Wheat Ear of the Fecund in Takagi's hand.
Are we back? The time Yaoshi appeared was the same as the time the Astral Express, representing Trailblaze, appeared last time. Could it be that this is the time limit for meeting with an Aeon?
Takagi thought to himself, raising his hand to look at the Wheat Ear of the Fecund in his hand.
A gift from Abundance?
If the people of the Xianzhou Alliance knew about this, their reaction should be quite significant. If the Xianzhou Alliance learned that I met Yaoshi the Abundance, I wonder if they would still agree to my plan for the Teyvat route.
Speaking of which, what was that feeling of being spied on earlier? Could it be that my conversation with Yaoshi the Abundance was known by the Hunt? Or did the Divination Commission of the Xianzhou Alliance calculate my existence?
Takagi chuckled and shook his head, then turned his attention to the prize draw opportunity displayed on the System panel, obtained because The Doctor embarked on the Path of Propagation.
If I can draw General rakashu Yuan's template, can I also gain the power of the Lightning-Lord? If I can gain the power of the Lightning-Lord, even if the Xianzhou Alliance knows that I met Yaoshi the Abundance... Knowing that I received a gift from Yaoshi the Abundance, they shouldn't do anything to me, right?
Thinking of this, Takagi chuckled again and shook his head. Although getting both the Lightning-Lord representing Lan the Hunt and the Wheat Ear of the Fecund representing Yaoshi the Abundance simultaneously is a very interesting thing, but Takagi knew that the difficulty of drawing General rakashu Yuan's template with a single draw was like finding a needle in a fiery ocean.
That being said, Takagi didn't keep the draw chance. He silently activated the draw permission in his mind. The next moment, the golden light appearing on the System panel completely attracted Takagi's attention.
Could it be, did I really draw General rakashu Yuan?
Takagi muttered in his heart.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the "General rakashu Yuan Template," including the Light Cone "Before Dawn"!]
Takagi: "..."
Looking at the text displayed on the System and feeling the extra power within him, Takagi was momentarily speechless. Although General rakashu Yuan's strength in the game wasn't entirely satisfactory, it is undeniable that his strength in the early story was among the highest tier. Not to mention, Takagi actually felt the presence of the Lightning-Lord after obtaining General rakashu Yuan's template. It seemed as if the Lightning-Lord would appear by his side immediately with just a call from Takagi.
If only I had been this lucky when playing the game before crossing over. As Takagi sighed in his heart, his mood became increasingly relaxed. With the Lightning-Lord representing Lan the Hunt, Takagi felt that even if the news of his meeting with Yaoshi the Abundance reached the ears of the Xianzhou Alliance, they would not stop him from bringing tourists from Teyvat to the Luofu Xianzhou, to the Xianzhou Alliance.
When I meet General rakashu Yuan, I'll discuss with him how to use the Lightning-Lord. If he sees a Lightning-Lord like his own, he should show a very interesting expression.
Takagi smiled, muttered a few words in his heart, then turned to look at Herta, Himeko, and the others. Upon returning to Herta Space Station, the influence from Yaoshi the Abundance gradually faded, and Herta, Ruan Mei, Himeko, and the others were finally able to collect themselves.
"Did Yaoshi the Abundance just disappear?"
"She left too quickly."
"There were clearly so many things I wanted to understand."
Herta looked at the familiar surroundings of the office, frowning as she muttered.
"That may be true, but compared to us, you have gained more, haven't you?"
Ruan Mei said.
"That's true."
"But it was a rare opportunity to meet with an Aeon."
"Losing it just like that feels a bit regrettable."
Herta sighed and looked up at Takagi.
"Speaking of which, you were able to chat so happily with an Aeon."
"If those who dislike Aeons knew about this, I wonder how they would evaluate you."
Herta said.
"I don't mind, but you, if the outside world knows that you were blessed by an Aeon."
"Will it have any impact on the situation here?"
Takagi smiled.
"What impact could it have? Yaoshi the Abundance merely modified this puppet body of mine."
"Compared to what you got from Abundance, what I got is nothing."
As she spoke, Herta quickly approached Takagi, holding his hand that held the Wheat Ear of the Fecund tightly with both hands.
"Hey, Takagi, can you let me study this wheat?"
Herta asked expectantly.
"Do you think that's possible?"
"Or do you want to be targeted by Lan the Hunt?"
Takagi smiled.
Although Takagi had not seen Abundance Miracles like the Xianzhou Ambrosial Arbor, Takagi could feel that the wheat in his hand could probably grow into a more pure Abundance Miracle than the Xianzhou Ambrosial Arbor. If such a thing were given to others casually, it might have a significant impact on this Universe. It might even attract the arrows of the Hunt. Takagi did not want Herta to be struck by the Hunt's arrow because of him.
Moreover, if he were to casually give this Wheat Ear of the Fecund to others, Takagi felt that it would likely be quite difficult for him to travel to the Xianzhou afterwards. Of course, merely meeting Yaoshi the Abundance, and obtaining Imaginary Energy, authority, and wheat from the Aeon, was already enough for the Xianzhou Alliance to maintain a cautious attitude towards him. Fortunately, however, Takagi possessed the authority of Trailblaze. With his ability to create Astral Express trains, Takagi believed the Xianzhou Alliance would not treat him as an Abomination of Abundance.
'Alright, since the Simulated Universe can no longer operate.'
'I think it's about time for me to return to the Astral Express.'
Takagi waved his hand, about to activate his Trailblaze authority to directly teleport himself back to his Astral Express. Seeing the dazzling light of Trailblaze shining on Takagi, Herta quickly grabbed Takagi's arm.
'Don't be in a hurry, Takagi, think about it a bit more.'
'This wheat is a waste if you just keep it; why not let me research it?'
'At worst, I can give you a few more of my puppets?'
Herta said.
'You are quite generous now.'
'But never mind giving me puppets.'
'Even if you gave yourself to me, I would not give you the Wheat Ear of the Fecund.'
'If you want to research Abundance, why not research your current body that has received the blessing of Abundance?'
'Speaking of which, I haven't even asked you for a price for you receiving the blessing of Abundance through me.'
Takagi shook his head and said.
Although the blessing of Yaoshi the Abundance upon Herta was not particularly strong, it at least granted her puppet body eternal life. With Herta's intelligence, Takagi believed she could research many things.
'Furthermore, I won't just keep this wheat as a collection.'
'I happen to feel that my Astral Express is missing some bonsai.'
'I think I can use this wheat to grow some bonsai or something.'
Takagi said.
'Using Wheat Ear of the Fecund to plant bonsai on the Astral Express?'
Herta said in surprise.
'Such a thing is truly unheard of.'
'If it weren't for Lord Takagi, even I probably wouldn't have thought of such a scene.'
Ruan Mei sighed.
'Yes.'
Himeko nodded in agreement.
'Then at least take me to see it with you.'
'I want to see with my own eyes what kind of bonsai the wheat given to you by Abundance can grow.'
Herta said.
'That's not a problem.'
Takagi nodded and looked at Ruan Mei, Screwllum, Himeko, and the others.
'I still have an unfulfilled promise to play the Ruan Qin for Lord Takagi.'
'Going to the Astral Express this time, I can also play a piece for Lord Takagi.'
Ruan Mei said.
After Ruan Mei, Screwllum and the others also expressed their desire to follow. Without exception, everyone present gave an affirmative answer. Seeing this, Takagi no longer hesitated and directly used the Trailblazing Power to cover everyone present. In just an instant, everyone was teleported along with Takagi onto Takagi's Astral Express.
Afterwards, Takagi found a pot, cut off a branch and leaf from the wheat, and planted it in the pot.
Buzz!
Accompanied by emerald green light, the wheat in the pot directly took root and sprouted in the soil, growing rapidly. Its branches instantly grew to the ceiling of the Astral Express and spread out towards the surroundings of the Astral Express. Takagi frowned, raised his hand, and placed it on the main trunk of the bonsai tree. Because he had obtained part of the authority from Yaoshi the Abundance, Takagi could easily control the growth of the tree before him. As Takagi adjusted it, the originally rapidly growing tree slowly shrank. Before long, it became a bonsai truly suitable for placing in the Astral Express carriage.
'This should be fine, right?'
Takagi put his hands on his hips and looked at the highly ornamental Abundance bonsai before him with satisfaction. Just looking at the emerald green branches made one feel calm. And the more than ten golden fruits, like peaches, dotted on various parts of the branches, were even more eye-catching.
'The Ambrosial Arbor...'
Dan Heng looked at the scene before him, his brows furrowing tightly.
