Dan Heng recalled the scene of the bonsai growing earlier, looking at the golden fruits on the bonsai before him; his heart could not calm down for a long time.
Although he didn't know too much about the Xianzhou Alliance's affairs, and had never seen what the fruit grown by the Ambrosial Arbor looked like, he always felt that these golden fruits were the same as the fruits grown by the Ambrosial Arbor. Those who consumed the fruits on the bonsai could also receive the blessing of Abundance and become long-life species.
It wasn't just Dan Heng who felt this way; even Herta, who was not a Xianzhou native, felt the same.
'This is completely an Abundance Miracle, isn't it!'
'If it weren't for you, Takagi, taking action to control it, this bonsai would probably have grown into a towering tree like the Ambrosial Arbor.'
Herta's eyes widened, and her tone was full of surprise.
'No, given the hardness of this Astral Express of mine, I don't think this bonsai would be able to grow into a towering tree.'
Takagi said with a smile.
He was joking, as his Astral Express was naturally top-notch in hardness. Although an Abundance Miracle was special enough, it wouldn't be enough to burst his Astral Express.
'That's true, your Astral Express is also quite special.'
'Speaking of which, just a small part of the Wheat Ear of the Fecund was able to cause the previous commotion.'
'I also don't know what it would look like if you planted the entire Wheat Ear of the Fecund.'
'I now suspect that the Abundance Miracle that the wheat in your hand can create is purer than any previous Abundance Miracle.'
'If those Abominations of Abundance knew about your situation here, they would probably very much want to possess this Wheat Ear of the Fecund.'
Herta said.
'That being said, given Yaoshi the Abundance's attitude towards Lord Takagi, I think those Abominations probably wouldn't dare to lay a hand on Lord Takagi.'
Welt Yang pushed up his glasses and said.
Herta: "That's not necessarily true. Those Abominations will do anything to get an Abundance Miracle."
Takagi smiled indifferently, not worried about it at all. With the authority of Abundance he now possessed, even if the Abominations truly came, they wouldn't dare to act. Even if they dared to act, Takagi could ensure they wouldn't return.
"While the Abominations of Abundance might cause some trouble, I think the organizations and alliances that dislike Yaoshi the Abundance are more worth noting than the Abominations."
Screwllum said, turning to look at Ms. Ruan Mei.
Herta did the same. As Ms. Ruan Mei's colleagues, Herta and Screwllum both knew that Ms. Ruan Mei had deep ties with the Xianzhou Alliance. Furthermore, the Simulated Universe was able to obtain data on the Hunt Aeon Lan thanks to Ms. Ruan Mei's discussions with the Xianzhou Alliance. Regarding the Xianzhou Alliance, she had more authority to speak.
"If Lord Takagi needs it, I am willing to explain the reason to the Alliance."
Ms. Ruan Mei withdrew her gaze from the Abundance bonsai and looked at Takagi, saying. She knew of Takagi's uniqueness, so she naturally didn't want any unnecessary misunderstandings between the Xianzhou Alliance and Takagi.
"There's no need for such trouble. I think the people of the Alliance shouldn't be too impulsive."
"Moreover, I also have a way to communicate with them."
"If you really want to help, Ms. Ruan Mei, perhaps you could write me a letter of introduction or something so that I can also establish a tourist route in the Alliance in the future."
Takagi said with a smile.
He now had a Lightning-Lord, so even if a misunderstanding truly occurred between him and the Xianzhou Alliance, as long as he summoned the Lightning-Lord in front of the Xianzhou people, any misunderstandings could naturally be explained more clearly.
Although his Lightning-Lord did not directly receive power from Lan the Hunt, its purity might be slightly inferior to the gift given to it by Yaoshi the Abundance. However, Takagi believed that the Xianzhou people would still treat him well for the sake of his Lightning-Lord.
"As for a letter of introduction, I am certainly willing to write it."
"However, Lord Takagi, may I hear how you plan to communicate with them?"
Ms. Ruan Mei asked with some concern.
"It seems you're still a bit worried."
"Alright, in that case, take a look at this."
Takagi's lips curved upwards as he spoke. As his words fell, dazzling golden electric light shone from Takagi's body. Then, under the astonished gazes of Ms. Ruan Mei, Dan Heng, and others, the figure of the Lightning-Lord appeared behind Takagi.
[Furina: This... What is that golden giant behind Takagi?!]
[Neuvillette: Judging from the expressions of Ms. Ruan Mei and the others, it seems to be something quite extraordinary.]
[Venti: It feels very strong.]
[Lumine: Hiss, why does it feel a bit familiar? Could it be a Stand?]
[Paimon: Stand? What's that?]
[Lumine: Nothing, I was just saying.]
[Hu Tao: Although I don't know what it is, it must contain extremely powerful strength. Otherwise, it wouldn't have scared The Doctor, Lisa, and the others.]
[Zhongli: Perhaps, this is also a symbol that can protect Lord Takagi from the organizations and alliances that Ms. Ruan Mei and others are worried about.]
"How about it? Are you still worried after seeing this, Ms. Ruan Mei?"
Takagi saw that even Ms. Ruan Mei, who had always seemed very calm, showed a surprised expression, and he was satisfied as he withdrew the Lightning-Lord. Hearing Takagi's words and then seeing the Lightning-Lord disappear, Ms. Ruan Mei and the others finally came back to their senses.
"Lord Takagi, why can you command the Lightning-Lord who is the General of the Divine Firmament Thunder Mansion and Commander of Thunder and Lightning, the Demon-Chasing and Filth-Sweeping Celestial Lord?"
Ms. Ruan Mei asked Takagi with a look of surprise. Beside her, Dan Heng also looked at Takagi and the Lightning-Lord in shock.
"The Lightning-Lord who is the General of the Divine Firmament Thunder Mansion and Commander of Thunder and Lightning, the Demon-Chasing and Filth-Sweeping Celestial Lord?"
"Is that the name of the golden giant from before?"
Cloud Retainer muttered.
"It's amazing you can remember such a long name." La Signora glanced at Cloud Retainer, then looked at Ms. Ruan Mei: "However, why is she so surprised?"
"The Lightning-Lord who is the General of the Divine Firmament Thunder Mansion and Commander of Thunder and Lightning, the Demon-Chasing and Filth-Sweeping Celestial Lord, abbreviated as Lightning-Lord."
"That is the power of Lan the Hunt."
"Only those who have received the Blessing of Lan the Hunt can control the Lightning-Lord... under normal circumstances."
By the end of her sentence, Ms. Ruan Mei's tone was somewhat lacking in confidence. This was understandable, as Takagi was simply too special. Ordinary people needed the Blessing of Lan the Hunt to obtain the Lightning-Lord, but Takagi might not necessarily need the Blessing of Lan the Hunt to get the Lightning-Lord. Perhaps, just like when he met Yaoshi the Abundance, Lan the Hunt directly gifted him the Lightning-Lord; it was also possible.
Thinking of this, Dan Heng's gaze towards Takagi became even deeper.
"Wh- What?!"
"You said that golden giant is the power of Lan the Hunt?"
La Signora asked Ms. Ruan Mei in surprise.
"There's no mistake. The power of the Lightning-Lord, I would never mistake it." Ms. Ruan Mei nodded firmly, looking at Takagi with emotion and saying:
"So Lord Takagi also possesses such power."
"With the Lightning-Lord present, my worries were indeed unnecessary."
"However, Lord Takagi, have you perhaps also met Lan the Hunt before?"
Herta nodded heavily, saying:
"Yes, Takagi, have you also communicated with Lan the Hunt?"
"If you have spoken with Lan the Hunt, how did you manage to communicate with both Lan the Hunt and Yaoshi the Abundance!"
"Speaking of which, I've wanted to ask you from the beginning."
"How exactly did you manage to summon an Aeon to meet with you?"
Hearing this, Takagi shrugged and smiled:
"Just consider my face important enough to summon an Aeon."
"As for Lan the Hunt, I've seen her from afar."
Herta: "In that case, can you summon another Aeon to meet with us? It doesn't have to be Lan the Hunt! Just summon any other Aeon."
Although Herta really wanted to see if Lan the Hunt would have any stress reaction after Takagi had just met with Yaoshi the Abundance and then met with Lan the Hunt, for safety reasons, Herta still thought it would be better to meet with other Aeons.
For example, the Preservation Aeon and the Harmony Aeon who had previously defeated the Aeon of Propagation together with the Trailblaze Aeon, or even the mysterious Equilibrium Aeon.
As for the Elation Aeon... even Herta was worried that she would be made fun of by the Elation Aeon. So meeting with the Elation Aeon or anything like that could only be placed at the very bottom of Herta's list of Aeons she wanted to meet.
Takagi: "Unfortunately, only Yaoshi the Abundance is free today. I temporarily cannot summon other Aeons to meet with me and with you."
Herta: "How can this be? I'm begging you, okay?"
Herta thought Takagi was just being perfunctory, so she didn't want to give up.
"No, at least not now."
"Instead of this, since you don't plan to maintain the Simulated Universe now."
"Then spend some time creating an artificial intelligence for me to control the puppet you left with me."
"When you are not online with this puppet, the artificial intelligence can also control it."
"After the artificial intelligence is completed, I can also try to integrate the Stellaron into it."
Takagi shook his head firmly and said.
After directly obtaining a large amount of Imaginary Energy and Abundance authority from the Abundance Aeon, Takagi felt that he could also modify the Herta Puppet through the power of Abundance. Thinking of Phantylia, the Emanator of Destruction, who could use the Ambrosial Arbor containing Abundance power to create powerful bodies, Takagi felt that he could also integrate the Stellaron perfectly into the Herta Puppet through the power of Abundance.
However, in order to allow the Herta Puppet with the Stellaron to be compatible with the Stellaron for a long time, he might need some time to conduct some experiments. As for Herta wanting to meet the Aeon again, she would have to wait until he leads the Teyvat passengers on a trip next time. Therefore, Takagi could not agree to Herta.
Herta saw Takagi's determined expression and sighed deeply. However, regarding Takagi's proposal to create artificial intelligence, she did not refuse.
"Fine, I want to see how you plan to integrate the Stellaron into my puppet."
Saying this, Herta quickly walked to the Herta Puppet placed by Takagi in a corner of the Astral Express and began creating the artificial intelligence. In her opinion, as long as her own puppet was still on Takagi's Astral Express, she would still have a chance to meet the Aeon through Takagi in the future.
Takagi naturally did not idle either, stepping up to Herta's side and starting to work with her. Although Ruan Mei and Screwllum were willing to help, but thinking that it was Herta's puppet after all, Ruan Mei and Screwllum ultimately could not take a step forward.
The two stood silently in front of the bonsai that had produced Abundance fruit, quietly observing and analyzing. Just like Himeko and other Nameless, The Doctor and other passengers. However, without Takagi's permission, no one dared to reach out and touch those fruits, even though these fruits seemed to be constantly emitting a sweet fragrance.
[Dehya: I can't believe the golden giant that appeared behind Lord Takagi earlier came from the Hunt Aeon. This is truly unexpected. That must be a gift from Lan the Hunt to Lord Takagi, just like Yaoshi the Abundance previously gave the Wheat Ear of the Fecund to Lord Takagi.]
[Ningguang: It is indeed surprising that the relationship between the Hunt Aeon and the Abundance Aeon is so poor, yet I didn't expect that both of them seem to be able to get along well with Lord Takagi.]
[Keqing: Initially, seeing Lan the Hunt in the Simulated Universe and how she didn't really talk to Lord Takagi, I thought the Hunt Aeon and the Trailblaze Aeon weren't close. Now it seems that the reason the simulated Hunt Aeon didn't really talk to Lord Takagi at the time was simply because she is an Aeon who doesn't talk much.]
[Dori: Could it be that both the Hunt Aeon and the Abundance Aeon are trying to win over Lord Takagi?]
[Yelan: Win over, huh? It seems that possibility is not non-existent!]
[Keqing: If that's the case, the gifts given by the Hunt Aeon and the Abundance Aeon to Lord Takagi must not be ordinary items.]
[Ningguang: The Lightning-Lord that Lan the Hunt gave to Lord Takagi can bring powerful strength, Yaoshi the Abundance's wheat should bring vigorous vitality. If the bonsai grown from the Wheat Ear of the Fecund is truly an Abundance Miracle, do the fruits growing on that bonsai possess the power to bring infinite lifespan to humans?]
[Dori: Hiss! How much mora must this fruit be worth!]
[Grand Sage Azar: Is... is that really true?!]
[Navia: Whether it has such an effect, perhaps letting someone whose lifespan is nearing its end try eating it could verify it. However, if this fruit truly has such an effect, Lord Takagi probably wouldn't easily let others eat it.]
[Yae Miko: That's not necessarily true. This fruit is precious to ordinary people, but it might not be precious to Lord Takagi.]
[Tartaglia: Could it be that this batch of travelers will get a chance to eat this fruit?]
[Kaveh: Although whether this batch of travelers can eat the Abundance fruit is something to be concerned about, we can't eat these fruits right now. Instead of worrying about the fruits, it's better to care about whether Lord Takagi can integrate the Stellaron into the puppet.]
[Yae Miko: That's true. If Lord Takagi can integrate the Stellaron into that Herta's Puppet, then he must also be able to integrate it into other puppets.]
[Ei: ...]
[Grand Sage Azar: Abundance fruit, Stellaron puppet...]
Within Sumeru, Azar looked at his body, the unfinished shell of the artificial god in front of him, and then looked at the golden fruits on the live screen and the back of Takagi who was working with Herta. His mood could not calm down for a long time.
"If only I could get that Abundance fruit and the Stellaron containing power."
Azar muttered.
"Instead of saying these useless words, you might as well speed up your work."
Not far from Azar, a segment of The Doctor glanced at Azar and said coldly.
Azar: "Aren't you interested in the fruits and Stellaron on Takagi's Astral Express?"
The Doctor: "Of course I'm interested."
Azar frowned tightly and said:
"If that's the case, why are you still so indifferent?"
"Another you is on the Astral Express."
"Can't you find a way to have that other you try to get the fruit and the Stellaron?"
Hearing The Doctor's words, Azar became exasperated. In his opinion, The Doctor, who was lucky enough to get an Astral Express ticket, should have had many opportunities to gain benefits from Takagi. But what happened? So far, The Doctor has only stepped onto the Path of Propagation. And this, Azar felt he could easily achieve himself, perhaps even better than The Doctor.
The Doctor seemed to have seen through Azar's thoughts and couldn't help but reveal a trace of disdain on his face. By now, he had figured out that Takagi did not like people like him and the Grand Sage. This determined that it would be very difficult for people like him to gain benefits from Takagi.
And the Grand Sage couldn't even see this point by now, which destined that even if the Grand Sage got a ticket, the difficulty for him to gain benefits from Takagi would be even greater. To be more severe, Grand Sage Azar might even die during the journey because Takagi did not provide security services.
However, The Doctor had no intention of informing the Grand Sage about these matters.
"The me over there will naturally find a suitable opportunity to get what we want."
"Compared to this, we should seize the time to complete the artificial god's body."
"You also don't want to see us not having completed the artificial god by the time Lesser Lord Kusanali returns, right?"
"Don't wait until you are confronting Lesser Lord Kusanali to regret it."
The Doctor chuckled.
