Chapter 50

Takumi's perception expanded across Narukami Island, and finally his eyes rested on the fox-masked shrine maiden in front of the dilapidated shrine, sorting out the resentment pouring out from the ground.

"Yes, although it can only be regarded as an empty shell composed of memory and obsession," he said.

He then snapped his fingers and used his space power to move "Hua Sanli" into the consciousness space.

Hua Sanli, who was sorting out the resentment of the earth, was stunned for a moment. When she saw Yae Miko and Raiden Ei, she calmed down and bowed respectfully.

"Hua Sanli pays respects to the General."

Yae Miko was confused. Kitsune-sama was a yokai, yet here she was before them. She stepped forward, and sure enough, she felt the aura of Lady Kitsune Saiguu from the fox-masked shrine maiden. Yae Miko pursed her lips, her eyes moved, and her voice held a hint of trembling. "Lady Kitsune..."

Hua Sanli was silent for a moment and sighed. "Lady Guuji, I am not the Kitsune Saiguu. I am merely an aggregation of her memory and earth energy, wandering aimlessly in the world because of obsession."

Yae Miko said nothing, only looking at Takumi.

The 'Original Dharma Ring' appeared behind Takumi. The colorful halo behind him highlighted his supreme holiness and greatness. His eyes instantly turned golden, and he stepped forward.

"How lucky you are. Fortunately, the 'Seat of Fate' belonging to Kitsune Saiguu is intact and unbroken, which means she can be resurrected completely."

At this point, the "Fate Seat System" began to activate.

Correspondingly, the six stars in the false sky suddenly glowed brightly, clearly visible even in the daytime.

"If even a part of the 'Seat of Fate' was broken, not even the Heavenly Laws could revive her," Takumi said.

The Demon God is a fragment of the 'Original Dharma Ring.' As long as the Heavenly Laws do not obliterate the Demon God, they will not truly die. But beings below the level of a demon god are different.

The 'Seat of Fate System' determines the destiny of everyone in Teyvat and creates a 'Seat of Fate' for each individual.

After a person dies, their 'Seat of Fate' becomes extinguished. After a period of time, it becomes corrupted and broken, eventually disappearing altogether. This time can vary—sometimes taking thousands of years, and other times the 'seat of fate' disappears within a mere seven days after death.

The 'Seat of Fate' records the trajectory and life information of a person. As one who fully masters the 'Human Realm Power System,' Takumi can gather the information scattered across Teyvat by reigniting the 'Seat of Fate.' By reuniting the consciousness dispersed after death, extracting memories from the ley lines, gathering dust and power from the remains, and injecting the law of life, resurrection can be achieved.

At the moment when Kitsune Saiguu's 'Seat of Fate' was reignited, light emitted from Hua Sanli, and countless light spots—like fireflies—appeared across Inazuma, converging continuously towards the Sacred Sakura on Mt. Yougou.

Seeing this scene, the people of Inazuma looked toward the Narukami Shrine on Mt. Yougou.

Apart from being surprised, there was no panic. Instead, they were enjoying the scene together, munching on snacks.

After all, Yae Guuji-sama of the Narukami Shrine was a yokai. It was normal for the shogun's followers to possess such mystical powers.

Hua Sanli watched the light spots pouring into her body. "This is... ?"

The dull eyes beneath her mask slowly gained clarity.

Kamisato Ayaka and Kamisato Ayato watched silently.

After experiencing different worlds and making significant contributions to Teyvat, they could already remain calm even in the face of such events.

Resurrecting Kitsune Saiguu after five hundred years—compared to something as exaggerated as annexing an entire world—seemed small by comparison.

Yae Miko stared intently at Hua Sanli, who was surrounded by countless light spots. Each light spot was an essence of Kitsune Saiguu's aura.

These light spots floated past her, and fragments of Kitsune Saiguu's memories occasionally flashed through Yae Miko's mind. Without realizing it, the tip of her nose turned red.

Five hundred years ago, she would rest on Lady Kitsune Saiguu's shoulder, sniffing at the smoke rings she blew out—often waving her paws in disgust. Since that day, she could no longer even smell those smoke rings that once irritated her.

Tears began to form unconsciously in her eyes.

A video camera appeared in Takumi's hand, capturing Yae Miko's expression at that moment.

Yae Miko had no resentment. Instead, she raised her fingers, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and smiled tearfully. "You're a god—obviously a good one—but why do you have such a terrible personality?"

Takumi smiled slightly without explaining and silently put away the camera.

The six stars shining in the sky had long been noticed by many, though most people paid it no heed. Only a few understood its significance.

Zhongli, who was listening to an opera while drinking tea in Liyue Harbor, simply raised his eyes and looked up.

He understood that this was merely a reward from the gods for Inazuma. Yet the girl beside him kept chattering, and he could only sigh.

He just couldn't deal with that child.

Meanwhile, astrologer Mona—tasked by her master to retrieve a box—stared at the six shining stars in the sky with her mouth agape, the astrolabe in her hand nearly turning to dust.

"The 'Seat of Fate' extinguished for hundreds of years is actually reignited! How is that possible?!"

"When a person dies, their light goes out—that's not just a saying. This has never happened before. Could it be that someone used forbidden magic to resurrect someone who died centuries ago?"

"If that's the case, it's an act of rebellion! This will incur divine punishment!"

Even Mona, an astrologer who could see the threads of fate, dared not change someone's destiny. Changing just one person's fate could create a domino effect that altered the destiny of countless others. Not even the gods could withstand such karmic consequences.

Once the trajectory of fate is altered too greatly, divine punishment is inevitable.

This was the most serious warning given by her master when she began her training.

Meanwhile, the being made of Kitsune Saiguu's memories had fully absorbed the light and regained her form. White fox ears stood atop her head, her short silver hair smooth and radiant. The life force naturally flowed from her, and a crack formed in the fox mask on her face.

Slowly, a beautiful face was revealed. She opened her pale golden eyes, filled with vitality. Before she could fully awaken, she was enveloped in a warm embrace, a voice breaking with emotion.

"Lady Kitsune Saiguu... Shenzi has missed you so much."
