"This... is not the end."
A young-looking girl with yellow hair stated softly, her face showing a trace of surprise.
Where had she been transported to?
Despite her youthful appearance, her true age was at least five hundred years old, as she had been sealed by an "unknown" deity, and that period of sealing lasted five hundred years.
The "unknown" deity had taken her brother, and the companion named Paimon she met after waking up had also disappeared in an accident.
Just a moment ago, she was searching for Paimon and her brother, but with the appearance of a magic circle similar to the ones that made Paimon and Zhongli disappear, she blinked and found herself here.
"I need to find an intelligent being as soon as possible, prefer one that can speak human language, so I can gather some information."
The yellow-haired aunt had traveled through many worlds, and back then, she and her brother had seen many strange worlds, so she wasn't panicked.
The primary task was to figure out where she was, and then to search for her brother and Paimon.
Of course, there was also another possibility!
"I wonder if this is somewhere in Teyvat, or perhaps this isn't Teyvat at all?"
She hadn't traveled to another world but had been transported to a place on the Teyvat continent she had never been to before.
There are many teleportation waypoints on the Teyvat continent, and while traveling the continent, she often uses these waypoints to quickly reach her desired destinations.
It could also be a tentative appearing temporary waypoint that brought her here...
"Paimon, brother, where are you?"
The yellow-haired aunt murmured, looking up at the sky, silent for a long time.
The Abyss Heralds had approached her, saying the prince had disappeared and hoping she would take charge of the Abyss Order.
They were once "enemies"...
In the end, she refused.
While she was on her way to search for Aether and Paimon, the Abyss Heralds were also searching for Aether, her brother.
As for her, her name was Lumine.
She took out a Sweet Flower from her backpack, chewed it twice, replenishing some sugar for her body, and prepared to set off.
"Sigh~"
Suddenly, Lumine seemed to sense something, her brows furrowed, and a hint of confusion and joy flashed in her eyes.
She didn't know why this change happened, but it was a good thing for her.
"My... my strength?"
After carefully sensing her own strength, Lumine discovered a special change!
Her strength has been restored!
The seal of the unknown deity had completely disappeared!
Her strength on the Teyvat continent wasn't her full strength from before but was partially unsealed through awakening elemental powers via the Statues of The Seven.
Now, her strength had reached its peak, with all seals removed, without any restrictions.
She clenched her fist, feeling the power, which was not false but incredibly real.
"This place...should not be the Teyvat continent!"
At this moment, Lumine was certain of her speculation.
If this were the Teyvat continent, her strength wouldn't have been restored so easily.
Then, if this isn't the Teyvat continent, where could it be?
With her strength fully restored, Lumine's perception was naturally different from before.
She closed her eyes, and her perception spread...
"There's a town a hundred miles away!"
In a short while, Lumine sensed the traces of "intelligent beings." After some thought, she decided to approach the town in a normal manner.
Her pace was neither fast nor slow, but each step covered ten meters, akin to the legendary shrinking of the earth.
A hundred miles would take an ordinary person a bit over a day, but for a soul master, half a day would suffice.
The stronger the strength, the faster the travel speed.
In Lumine's perception, this town's development path resembles that of Fontaine, with many cutting-edge "technologies," making it seem quite fantastical.
She and her brother had also seen technological worlds, but this backward yet advanced technological path made her somewhat dazed.
Because the "technology" here seems to focus on exoskeleton armor, with other technologies being scarce.
"Why is this the case?"
At this moment, Lumine was curious.
"Unfamiliar yellow-haired girl, please stop!"
After an unknown amount of time, Lumine arrived at the town's gate, where a guard called out to her.
The guard was clad in heavy armor with faint streams of light, a standard first-tier soul tool.
In his hand was a heavy sword, the hilt glowing faintly.
"Unfamiliar yellow-haired girl?"
Lumine was slightly stunned, instinctively looking around but seeing no little girl.
Seeing this, the guard was speechless.
Is there a possibility that he was talking about her?
"It's you, stop looking!"
Lumine's eyes widened, her right index finger pointing at herself, her mouth slightly open, wanting to speak but hesitating.
"Huh?"
Seeing Lumine's clueless, silly expression, the guard's eyes twitched, his eyelids jumping.
If it weren't for the fact that this person was a little girl, he would have given her a piece of his mind!
"Where are you from?"
Lumine: "..."
"Alright, I forgot you're a bit silly, a mute."
"???"
"Go in, but don't cause any trouble, or else I'll throw you out!"
The guard solemnly warned.
A cute girl, but unfortunately, a mute.
Hearing this, Lumine was speechless.
She just didn't speak much, but she wasn't mute!
Seeing that the other party was just doing his duty and not deliberately making things difficult for a "mute" girl, Lumine pouted and entered the town.
This was a town called Moonwheel Town.
Most of the people were normal, with only a few discussing soul tools, and even fewer talking about mechanisms.
And, the Cloud Retainer!
"Have you heard?"
"That woman, she, she actually defeated the ninth-tier soul master Qing Hongchen with her so-called mechanisms!"
"Not only that, Qing Hongchen even admitted defeat, intensified his lack of skill..."
"Qing Hongchen might be completely disheartened, that woman is too terrifying."
"Yeah, none of the ninth-tier soul masters in the entire empire could defeat her, all losing to her."
"What exactly is this mechanism?"
"Where did this woman, the Cloud Retainer, come from?"
Lumine automatically filters out the soul tools.
What did she hear?
The Cloud Retainer???
That woman!
It really is that woman???
At this moment, Lumine's expression was extremely vivid, filled with surprise and joy.
It was the feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
She never expected that after the Cloud Retainer disappeared, she also came to this world, so could Paimon and her brother also come to this world?
Don't say it, really don't say it!
This news was simply the best news for Lumine!
