Chapter 42

~6 min read 1,025 words

Perhaps in the eyes of Fontaine citizens, they learned that Furina was deemed an impostor of the Water God.

But only Lumine, who touched Furina's final tear, knew of Furina's five-hundred-year collapse.

For this, Lumine carried guilt for a long time.

Especially Su Bai's explanation was very reasonable.

If Lumine got angry, wouldn't she turn herself into an unreasonable shrew?

Moreover, in his previous life, Su Bai had gone to great lengths for her.

She didn't want to ever embarrass the man who had sacrificed so much for her.

So Lumine quickly cast a pleading glance toward Paimon.

Seeing this, Paimon immediately understood: "Su Bai, I think your memories have returned, right?"

"You must have a lot you want to say to Lumine."

"What are you standing there for? Go find a place and finish your private talk."

..... requesting flowers..

..... requesting votes.....

..... requesting data.....

Thank you, thank you, thank you, a million thanks!!!

Chapter 36: Second Reincarnation, Noble Status

Su Bai's bedroom.

Lumine and Su Bai sat side by side on the bed.

The atmosphere was slightly tender and shy.

Memories from their past life made the two feel like a couple deeply familiar with each other.

But their experiences in this life left them unsure where to begin speaking.

"Are you hungry?"

Su Bai smiled: "Shall I go get you something you like to eat?"

Su Bai had a general understanding of Lumine.

Combined with memories from his past life, his understanding of her had deepened even further.

She was usually quiet and gentle, but occasionally showed a mischievous streak.

Especially when praised, the way she placed her hands on her waist was utterly adorable.

"I'm not very hungry."

Lumine replied.

Yet a faint trace of worry surfaced on her face.

"Su Bai, do you think in this life we'll still be caught by Teyvat's order problems and enter reincarnation again?"

Lumine wasn't foolish.

Although she felt uneasy seeing Furina in Su Bai's home.

Yet across so many reincarnations in Teyvat, Su Bai's story couldn't possibly be tied only to her.

Fortunately, she was the first to be exposed.

And in his past life, Su Bai had truly cherished her.

In this life, Lumine had gained a head start.

But according to Teyvat's order, she must ascend to the Sky Island to become the new Celestial Order to break the chain of reincarnation.

Yet right now, she was still stuck in Fontaine.

Lumine was deeply worried that once the reincarnation system vanished, Teyvat would revert to its former order.

Everything between her and Su Bai would vanish once more.

"I think it should be fine," Su Bai pretended to ponder.

"Since Teyvat suddenly broke free from the reincarnation system, everything must be over."

Lumine exclaimed excitedly: "So it really was because of your secret efforts?"

If everything proved Su Bai's reincarnation task, then Teyvat had indeed been saved completely.

There were many tasks.

Su Bai couldn't recall what exactly happened in each one.

But he remembered the final task with exceptional clarity.

He had indeed ascended to the Sky Island and become the new Celestial Order.

Yet Teyvat was far more complex than he'd imagined.

The sky wasn't real.

The Abyss was the true universe; Teyvat was, in fact, an upside-down world.

The shell protecting the world was also extremely fragile.

As the Celestial Order, Su Bai's power was already strong enough to manipulate the ley lines and information within the World Tree at will.

He could alter anything in Teyvat freely.

But the task required Teyvat to be peaceful.

So Su Bai eliminated all threats to Teyvat and waited quietly for his full power to return, so he could obtain Lumine—the one who carried the Descending Sword, imbued with world-level power and capable of enabling one to bravely face the world's fate.

Lumine charged toward the Sky Island.

She bore the beliefs of all Teyvat's continents; she had to defeat Su Bai to usher in Teyvat's new, beautiful century.

Su Bai pondered for a long time before realizing the crucial step to completing the task.

That meant the people of Teyvat had to believe Lumine has already successfully become the new Heavenly Principle for peace to reign across Teyvat.

Rather than defeating with overwhelming force.

The final mission focused on persuasion.

Just as Lumine, who gathered the wishes of Inazuma and used wish-power to defeat Raiden Ei.

That sword strike gathered the wishes of the entire Teyvat continent.

However, what Lumine did not expect was that this sword strike, containing the power to destroy the world and reshape a new one, could not even interrupt Su Bai's thoughts.

In the end, through Su Bai's unremitting efforts, Su Bai finally persuaded Lumine, pulling her will to his side.

Through Lumine, the apparent seat of a god, he summoned the Seven Archons of Teyvat and proclaimed a new era for Teyvat.

Peace reigned across Teyvat.

Su Bai's reincarnation mission was completely finished.

"Mm!"

Su Bai nodded: "I don't know if this matter has anything to do with me either."

"But I know this reincarnation system is so powerful it can let you freely fuse the seven elements; Teyvat must have long since broken the cycle of reincarnation."

Hearing Su Bai's response.

Lumine finally set her heart at ease.

If that were the case, she would no longer need to serve as Teyvat's hard drive to store information and continue traveling.

"Rest assured."

"This time, we will never be separated again."

Su Bai smiled and patted Lumine's head.

Lumine instinctively bent her knees slightly, then startled and said: "Stop talking, do not speak nonsense."

"In your past life, you said you would not die while helping me find my brother, yet you ended up sacrificing your own life."

"Never make vows carelessly again."

Su Bai nodded.

The two began chatting about the little moments they had experienced together before.

Like a young couple who had not seen each other for a long time, recounting the beautiful memories of the past.

When discussing certain details, Lumine's heart raced, and her face turned red.

"So, on the night you saved me, were you really keeping your eyes closed?"
