Chapter 27: Teyvat, I Have Returned!

As Kurasaki Suzu spoke, she grew increasingly excited.

This treasure holds immense value even for a magician like her.

With it, perhaps even Kurasaki Suzu herself might glimpse the Root Vortex.

For a Crown Magician like Kurasaki Suzu, who stands at the pinnacle of magic, entering the Root Vortex would still be extremely difficult.

But.

It would merely be difficult—if she was truly determined, there were still ways.

Yet as a Crown, she knew well: once she entered the Root Vortex, she would almost certainly never emerge…

But if she possessed the Celestial Dimension Pearl…

“Immortal Perspective!!”

While Ning Qingyu and Li Hanyi might not understand “four-dimensional vision,” the term “Immortal Perspective” instantly gave them a hazy concept.

Suddenly, what had seemed like an exorbitant 368,800 points now felt like an incredible bargain.

Instantly.

Both martial arts experts made up their minds: once they saved enough points, they would snatch up one.

Not just the two martial artists—many group members were also tempted.

This treasure, if not in the chat group, would exist only as legend in their own worlds.

Want to buy it?

That’s pure fantasy!

After a quick glance online and confirming everything was fine, Hermes exited the chat group again.

After all, he had nearly finished studying dimensional theory, but practical application still needed actual implementation.

For instance, couldn’t he create a [2D Slab], just to try it out?

“Lord Hermes, I recorded only surface-level data from your dimensional experiment, as my knowledge of this field is too limited—I could only manage this much.”

Seeing the experiment end, Buer retrieved the recorded data with a hint of disappointment.

“Itachi’ve done excellently.”

Hermes comforted her gently; he had never expected Buer to keep pace with his research.

That was unrealistic.

Seeing Buer still troubled, he chuckled and reached out to gently pinch her pointed elf ears.

“Lord Hermes, this form of mine is only due to my greatly diminished power—it’s not that I’m truly a child!”

The sudden intimacy made Buer blush furiously and pouted.

“Hahaha, sorry, sorry—I’ve gotten used to it, hahaha…”

Hermes burst into laughter at her slightly indignant expression.

Teasing the usually gentle and serious Buer lifted his spirits considerably.

“Enough, Buer. The connection between Blue Star and Teyvat should now be much stronger—try contacting them.”

Hermes sighed: “My cultivation has only just begun; I’ll need to keep pouring in manpower and resources. I can’t really treat Itachi like a thousand people, can I?”

Teyvat has no shortage of talent—especially the Witch’s Guild and those Divine Beings, each possessing unique skills.

Once I’m ready, I’ll broadcast a message across the cosmos and begin openly recruiting.

As for having Interstellar Peace Corporation provide personnel and resources?

Hmph. Hermes hadn’t become that naive.

Haven’t Itachi noticed? Even Black Tower’s space station is only assigned peripheral, tedious tasks—none of the core points are ever entrusted to them?

Never overestimate the moral integrity of the Interstellar Peace Corporation.

If these people stole even a fraction of dangerous technology, who knows what they’d do?

“I recall the principle of the 2D Slab: a two-dimensional space sealed within a special field?”

As his calculations began, countless data streams flashed before Hermes’s eyes; models formed, then shattered and reassembled endlessly.

Having forged the Celestial Dimension Pearl and knowing the principle of the 2D Slab, Hermes found it no great challenge to create a physical version.

But the 2D Slab is an extremely dangerous dimensional weapon—misuse could trigger a catastrophic disaster.

Thus, Hermes needed to embed safety measures from the very moment the weapon began to take shape.

For example, once launched, how to prevent the 2D transformation from expanding indefinitely?

How to reasonably constrain its range?

And how to ensure it precisely hits its target, rather than allowing the enemy to escape via a quantum leap?

…

Even, what if the device accidentally goes out of control—how to reverse it?

All these factors must be fully considered.

Watching Hermes busily at work, Buer turned and left.

She intended to try contacting Teyvat.

“Heavenly Dao: Astrology, I am initiating contact with the Teyvat world—I require your support.”

With a thought, Buer linked her mind to the Heavenly Dao and submitted her request.

“Request received. Resource allocation calculation in progress.”

“Calculation complete. Lady Buer, the Heavenly Dao: Astrology can currently grant Itachi 3.45% of Heavenly Dao support for 12 hours.”

“Would Itachi like to begin now?”

Hermes had granted her high authority, but the Heavenly Dao is currently in rapid evolution and integration—this level of resource allocation is already its limit.

“Begin now.”

The next instant, Buer felt infinite power descend upon her.

An endless supply of [Virtual-Quantum Mixed State] energy stood ready at her command.

A power akin to authority, yet far greater, moved with her will.

Looking back, she could subtly influence past arrangements; gazing forward, she could unfold countless timelines and lock onto the optimal solution…

“Is this what an Envoy is? Even just a fraction of this power is this strong—then what of the supreme Star Gods?”

Buer was secretly startled; only now did she finally grasp a sliver of Hermes’s true power.

Unprecedented strength allowed Buer to effortlessly seize the connection between herself and the Teyvat world.

“Teyvat world… truly sunk deep within the Quantum Sea?”

A faint, elusive pull directed Buer’s will toward the Quantum Sea.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao possessed partial authority over Quantum Power, preventing Buer from being helpless.

The Heavenly Dao poured forth boundless energy, helping Buer forge a quantum channel to Teyvat.

The chaotic time sequences and disordered spatial structures of the Quantum Sea could no longer hinder her progress.

Before her, darkness stretched—but the Heavenly Dao’s immense power guided her, preventing her from becoming lost in the Quantum Sea.

Finally.

A world, wrapped in a shattered eggshell, appeared before Buer.

Without resistance, Buer gently touched the shell—and naturally merged through the barrier. The long-missed scent of home surged into her heart, causing her lips to curl upward as she could not help but declare aloud to the entire world:

“Teyvat, I have returned!”
