Chapter 48: The Yellow Millet Dream

Although she knew these were similar people from different worlds, Raiden Shogun and Raiden Mei were not the same person.

Yet Old Yang still couldn’t let it go.

“Uncle Yang! If that’s the case, why don’t we go check on Teyvat and see if we can lend a hand?”

March 7, having roughly understood the situation, noticed Uncle Yang’s rare display of anxiety and offered the suggestion.

“Looks like it’s finally time for my Galactic Baseball Bat Hero to step in!”

Star, standing behind March 7, spoke with a cold expression.

Honestly, the serious-minded Explorer really did have the aura of an ice beauty.

“Hermes, can we go take a look at the Teyvat world?”

Ji Zi turned her gaze toward Hermes, her expression inquiring.

“Actually, Itachi needn’t worry—I’ve already sent Buer ahead. She’ll act when the critical moment comes.”

Hermes gestured for Walter not to be anxious; he already had a foolproof plan.

“But if Itachi truly wish to go, it’s possible—though the Stellar Express requires a substantial amount of fuel to navigate the Quantum Sea.”

Still, Hermes didn’t dampen the team’s enthusiasm and added: “If Itachi’re short on fuel, I have some reserves I can supply Itachi.”

“The train currently has plenty of fuel left, but if Itachi need more, I won’t refuse Itachi.”

The Stellar Express had been cruising the stars for some time now, having largely overcome its initial fuel shortage—but Ji Zi didn’t overpromise, smiling as she accepted Hermes’ kindness.

With the decision made, Ji Zi quickly organized the itinerary and prepared to set course for the coordinates Hermes provided.

But—

Before the train officially launched, Ji Zi gave Hermes a warm, generous hug, whispering softly into his ear: “Even though Itachi already have one Ji Zi, don’t forget there’s still me.”

After performing the gesture, Ji Zi walked back to the train with her usual calm, graceful step.

“Heh.”

Hermes watched Ji Zi’s figure with amusement—if he hadn’t seen her ears turn red, he’d have thought she was completely unfazed…

With that matter settled, Hermes finally had time to focus his attention on the chat group.

The Explorer’s Wisdom: “@Stellar Traveler, did your luck ritual work? What was the draw result?”

The Omniverse’s Leading Lady: “I suppose it worked?”

Luo Qianqiu’s reply sounded ambiguous.

The Explorer’s Wisdom: “What do Itachi mean ‘suppose it worked’? Did it work, or did luck still fail Itachi?”

Luck, though Hermes had taken time to study it, had yielded some results.

So he was curious whether Kage's ritual could influence the chat group's draw outcomes.

Stellar Traveler: “Check the result yourself—image.jpg”

【Power: The Yellow Millet Dream】

【Obtained from the God Slayer world, when the Abbess of Luo slaughtered the Roman god Saturn.】

【When activated, the power creates a halo effect around the wielder, accelerating the development of surrounding civilizations (economic prosperity, bountiful harvests).】

Hermes regarded the power with a peculiar expression.

Is this thing good?

Of course it is!

Its value, even among all God Slayer powers across the entire world, ranks among the highest!

If used properly, it could, within a few centuries, elevate a civilization to interstellar spacefaring status.

The effect is terrifyingly powerful!

But the key issue is: the one who obtained it is Traveler·Fluorescence.

She's a Stellar Traveler, currently roaming all of Teyvat—and when she eventually arrives in the Honkai: Star Rail world, she'll be galloping across the galaxy.

How could she possibly sit still and use this power for farming?

So this divine farming technique, placed in her hands, isn’t without value—but it’s only marginally useful…

Stellar Traveler: “Why did I draw this thing? Itachi could’ve given me any other kind of power!”

In Teyvat, Fluorescence stared fixedly at the chat group’s draw interface and sighed deeply.

The luck ritual worked—she was happy.

The reward’s value was high—she was happy.

But drawing 【The Yellow Millet Dream】…

Fluorescence was deeply conflicted.

For a moment, she had no idea what to even do with this peculiar power.

The Explorer’s Wisdom: “@Stellar Traveler, if Itachi don’t want this power, have Itachi considered selling it?”

The Explorer’s Wisdom: “I’ll pay Itachi ten times the chat group’s buyback price.”

Hermes was very interested in this power.

Pure attack or defense powers meant nothing to him.

But 【The Yellow Millet Dream】…

Actually, it wasn’t particularly useful to him either.

Still, Hermes found it intriguing enough to study.

For example, comparing it to Teyvat’s powers, researching the unique worldview of the God Slayer world—【Mythology】—or studying it thoroughly to see if it could be upgraded…

Stellar Traveler: “Sold! But I don’t want actual points—can Itachi give me something useful and suited to me instead?”

The Explorer’s Wisdom: “No problem. Here are a few options—pick one.”

The Explorer’s Wisdom: “1. A custom-tailored Devil Fruit, same tier as the Phoenix Fruit given to the group owner; 2. A top-tier galaxy-class planet-killer ship; or 3. Permission to borrow my Envoy Authority: Alchemy for three days.”

Members of the chat group held their breath as they watched Hermes’ offers.

Each one was enough to propel someone to godhood.

The Omniverse’s Leading Lady: “@Stellar Traveler, if Itachi’re hesitating, sell this opportunity to me? I’ll pay Itachi twenty times the points.”

Seeing Fluorescence lost in thought, unable to decide, Luo Qianqiu joked lightly.

Of course—

It wasn’t really a joke.

To acquire this opportunity for merely twenty times the points, Luo Qianqiu felt she’d already scored a massive bargain.

A Devil Fruit of the same tier as her Phoenix Fruit?

Only someone who had consumed a Devil Fruit could truly understand the power of the Phoenix Fruit!

She could simply lie down somewhere, sleep for hundreds or even thousands of years, and awaken as a Star-Shattering powerhouse.

And a top-tier planet-killer ship from the Honkai: Star Rail world?

Was it just a ship?

It was essentially a nearly complete technological tree!

With just one such ship, and a few centuries of effort, she could effortlessly build a first-rate interstellar civilization.

Finally—

Borrowing the Envoy Authority: Astrology for three days.

If it were her choice, she’d pick this without hesitation.

According to the chat group’s evaluation, with proper use of these three days, she could awaken her Phoenix Fruit to its complete form.

That is, attain true Primordial Beast-level power.
