Chapter 7

Within the game, the game's mechanics appeared no different from a 'Vision'.

But in reality, it was not so.

Previously, he had even sensed the philosophical concept brought by a 'Path'.

Such as his current state of 'Nihility'.

"My Path Seems a Bit Off."

For an instant, he even felt panic...

'Visions' correspond respectively to Teyvat's seven great elemental attributes: Anemo, Geo, Electro, Dendro, Hydro, Pyro, and Cryo.

And now.

Standing in Teyvat, he discovered he could likewise control the power of all seven elements.

Take 'Preservation' as an example.

He could apply 'Wind's Protection', 'Rock's Shield', 'Thunder's Barrier', and so on, just like Brother Jie using ice, or that scoundrel Star using the Will of Fire.

Seven Paths?

Lu Shu's 'boastful' words instantly shocked the entire chat group.

【Hydro Archon Furina: Eh?! (Paimon is shocked!)】

【Little Thief Cat Nami: Seven Paths? Something's wrong with you, guy! (Paimon's eyes widen)】

【Sinnoh Region Big Sister Cabbage: What, seven Paths?】

【Busujima Saeko: Wait, wait, are you serious? Can one actually walk seven 'Paths' simultaneously?】

【Nakano Miku: The key point is, aren't you in Teyvat? How could you have embarked on a Path?】

【Mu Hai Xingzi: Illogical, this is completely illogical (Paimon is very confused).】

Soon, the women snapped out of their shock.

One by one, they questioned Lu Shu for showing off.

This damn cat must be joking!

Among them, the shortest acquaintance had been a month, so they were all very clear about each other's world power systems.

World-weary laughter at Shuo's skirt is like riding an umbrella while leading a spirit.

In Teyvat, where Lady Furina resides, there is simply no 'power of the Paths'.

There is only elemental power!

In Ko's World, ordinary people long to be gazed upon by an Aeon; wanting to embark on a 'Path' is not easy.

Even one is an extreme luxury.

You damn well have seven Paths?

Are you playing around?

【Lu Shu: I am speaking very seriously!】

However, he could also understand.

After all, the matter of simultaneously walking seven Paths was too unbelievable.

And moreover, in Teyvat.

It was as unbelievable as Furina swallowing the 'Gum-Gum Fruit' in one bite.

【Lu Shu: Although I am also very puzzled, it is indeed so.】

He simply recounted the incident during his transmigration when seven Aeons had simultaneously cast a 'fleeting glance' upon him.

Of course, he omitted some important parts.

【Hydro Archon Furina: Now it's time to tag the Admin Lady, @Himeko】

【Little Thief Cat Nami: Can one really walk seven Paths simultaneously, Sister Himeko?】

【Busujima Saeko: The feeling I get from a 'Path' is like a church; moreover, it requires one's own conviction, needing a will equal to the Path's trajectory before one can embark on that Path.】

【Hydro Archon Furina: Exactly, it feels like unless you have a split personality, no one should have two obsessions equally strong, right?】

Over here, Himeko was equally stunned.

The event of seven Aeons casting their gaze simultaneously was simply unheard of!

【Himeko: It's possible? Aside from the Aeons themselves, a Path isn't necessarily limited to just one. If you practice a certain Aeon's philosophy, the power usable on that specific Path will become stronger.】

Wasn't she just like that?

Although she was a Nameless belonging to the Path of Trailblaze, she could still utilize the power of Erudition.

【Himeko: Pathstriders need not worry about the Aeons; we are all travelers on the same Path. Only the power of an 'Emanator' is bestowed by an Aeon.】

She was somewhat bewildered!

Embarking on a Path might attract an Aeon's gaze.

But such occurrences were extremely rare.

For someone like Lu Shu to receive the simultaneous gaze of seven Aeons—'Nanook', 'IX', 'Qlipoth', 'Yaoshi', 'Aha', 'Fuli', and 'Xipe'—was something that had never happened before.

Lu Shu took a full-body photo and posted it in the chat group.

Upon seeing it, the women instantly froze.

Wasn't this guy Lu Shu unreasonably handsome?

However, their gazes quickly noticed Lu Shu's semi-transparent body.

As well as the golden transparent shield protecting his surroundings.

And the pieces of green leaves, glowing with fluorescence, condensing in his hand.

This...?

【Himeko: Could it be 'The Nihility', 'The Preservation', or 'The Abundance'?】

This makes no sense at all!

This makes absolutely no sense.

The women instantly felt their minds becoming somewhat chaotic, extremely chaotic.

【Lu Shu: By the way, Sister Himeko, how does one cultivate the Path?】

007: It's Makima; Lu Shu burst out laughing at this nickname.

He could only wield these three Paths.

After all, 'The Elation', 'The Remembrance', and 'The Harmony' were far too abstract as concepts.

And 'The Destruction'?

Was he supposed to blow up the Forest of Guardians just to show them?

Forget it.

He didn't want to lure that dandruff fox back again.

Yet even the power of just three Paths was enough to stun the women speechless!

To Furina, it was as if someone had obtained three 'Visions'.

To the little thief cat Nami, it was like someone eating three 'Devil Fruits' and looking for death!

In the eyes of Xi Xi Luona and Mu Hai Xingzi, it was as if someone had caught three Legendary Pokémon or Ultimate-level Digimon!

This was outrageously absurd!

……

Cultivating the Path?

【Himeko: I am very sorry!】

【Himeko: I have never heard of a situation like yours; my experience is likely not suitable for you.】

She did not know what kind of 'qualitative change' would occur after combining the seven Paths into one body.

After all, he was the first person in history to do so.

What if she accidentally ruined the handsome young man?

(*￣3￣)q

【Himeko: The power of the 'Path' is very abstract, and there are no clear advancement methods or rule restrictions.】

【Himeko: The Aeons are those who have walked the deepest and furthest on the 'Path'; one could say they are the extremists of the 'Path'.】

【Himeko: Heh, without being extreme, one cannot become an Aeon! To uphold their Path, Aeons will even eliminate every obstacle in their way.】

【Hydro Archon Furina: From the perspective of an Aeon, ordinary people are probably insignificant to them.】

The Archons love humanity.
