Chapter 36

What kind of Stellar Core is this — to think it's such a terrifying thing!

The power it erupts with could even destroy a planet!

Doesn't this mean,

if a Stellar Core were to be dropped on Teyvat,

then Teyvat would be completely done for?

"So scary, so scary!"

"I hope the Stellar Core never falls onto the continent of Teyvat!"

Paimon was trembling with fright, able only to pray over and over in her heart.

"A creation of the Destruction God, Nanuk!"

"I never imagined such a dangerous thing could exist in the universe!"

"If this thing were to fall onto Teyvat, I'm afraid even Celestia would be at a loss, right?"

"Looking at it this way, Teyvat being sealed off might actually count as a kind of protection?"

Wangsheng Funeral Parlor,

Zhong Li looked at the introduction about the Stellar Core,

and his heart began to waver.

He had originally planned to push Teyvat to connect with the universe.

But now it seemed,

it was probably not appropriate.

In case, after Teyvat connected with the universe,

a Stellar Core happened to fall from the sky,

wouldn't he then become a sinner of the entire continent?

"It seems this needs to be carefully considered."

"Unless Teyvat can latch onto one of those powers capable of dealing with Stellar Cores."

"Otherwise, according to common reason, the plan to connect Teyvat with the universe will have to be postponed indefinitely."

"Until we are no longer afraid of the threat that Stellar Cores bring."

"But that is clearly far too difficult."

Zhong Li kept pondering in his heart,

and finally decided

to temporarily shelve the plan.

Because he had no confidence whatsoever in facing a Stellar Core.

He did not dare lightly place Teyvat in peril.

"Should I say this is worthy of the universe?"

"Every little thing is a catastrophe that destroys planets."

"Compared to this, the disasters that happen on our Teyvat are simply like playing house."

"Sigh, what a terrifying and ruthless environment indeed."

"I wonder if, after that old man finishes reading this, he'll still want to connect Teyvat with the universe..."

Venti downed the wine in his hand in one gulp,

and felt a touch of melancholy in his heart.

The universe is so dangerous,

for their Teyvat to want to step out into the cosmos

would probably be unimaginably difficult.

"Stellar Core?"

"This thing is actually this powerful?"

"Isn't that far stronger than any Gnosis?"

"If I could obtain this Stellar Core and fuse it into my body, wouldn't I become an existence that surpasses the gods?!"

God-Creation Base,

after Scaramouche finished reading the introduction about the Stellar Core,

his expression grew somewhat excited.

He currently uses the Electro Archon's Gnosis as his energy source,

to power the mecha divine body specially manufactured for him.

But although the Gnosis's energy is vast,

compared to the great power of a Stellar Core,

it falls far short!

Therefore, Scaramouche now

greatly desires to obtain a Stellar Core,

and use it as an energy source to complete the feat of ascending to godhood!

This way, he would surely become an existence standing above all the gods.

"Scaramouche, stop your idle fantasies."

"That kind of great creation of a God is not something you are qualified to lay a finger on."

Dottore overheard Scaramouche's wild talk,

He couldn't help but mock with a laugh.

"Oh?"

"Hehehe... hahahaha!"

"I don't even have the right to touch it?!"

"Then does that mean you, Doctor, have the right?"

Scaramouche heard the Doctor's words,

and began to laugh wildly as he questioned him.

"Indeed, something like this can only be put to use by someone like me."

"And through it, I may very well be able to unravel the essence of the Aeons!"

The Doctor looked at Scaramouche,

and spoke in a tone that took it as a matter of course.

In his eyes,

everything in the world held the possibility of being investigated.

Were it not for the temporary lack of opportunity,

he believed he might even be able to thoroughly study the Aeons themselves.

"Ahahahaha..."

"Doctor, I truly didn't expect that you've already gone mad to this extent!"

"You actually dare to attempt researching the Aeons?"

"Tell me, can you rein in that inexplicable confidence of yours?"

"First figure out how to walk out of Teyvat before you spout such grand talk!"

"Otherwise, that's just another brainless remark."

Scaramouche looked at the Doctor and instantly felt his interest waning.

The Doctor was, at his core, an extremely madly self-confident person—

this he knew,

but he hadn't expected the Doctor to have gone so mad he was about to lose his mind entirely!

Research the Aeons?

So many great powers throughout the cosmos don't dare to claim they can study the Aeons,
