Chapter 270

The girl rubbed her eyes in confusion, her amethyst-like eyes reflecting Takumi's figure.

"?"

Takumi reached out and touched the girl's cheek. The current Tohka was the same as the original Mio—a pure, blank soul, no different from a newborn baby.

There existed another consciousness on the opposite side of Tohka's personality. This consciousness was born before Tohka herself, and though Tohka did not know of its existence, this consciousness knew everything about her.

'Kabbalah' is originally divided into two aspects: positive and negative. The 'spiritual crystal' also contains the power of 'reversal.'

After the 'spiritual crystal' is reversed, the personality of the adaptor of the 'spiritual crystal' will also be reversed, but both sides are essentially the same consciousness.

Tohka is a life born of consciousness as a 'spiritual crystal,' with both positive and negative aspects giving rise to 'consciousness.'

"Anti-consciousness, let's call it Yatogami Tenka."

Takumi did not change the name from the original work, as it felt more natural.

Tohka blinked blankly, and then, holding hands with Takumi, they walked out of the 'spiritual world.'

The moment she stepped out of the 'spiritual world,' she appeared wearing ordinary women's casual clothes.

For the first time, everything in the world entered Tohka's eyes, and an intelligent light flickered within them. Like Takamiya Mio, she would gradually be given the 'knowledge,' 'language,' and understanding of the world over time.

However, her learning process was not as fast as Mio's, and she absorbed the world's information at a slower pace.

Click!

A sound reverberated through the world, a sound akin to the ticking of a clock. It was so brief that no one noticed, and if they did, they would dismiss it as a mere hallucination.

This was the sound of time being reconnected by Takumi. That disrupted period was now seamlessly integrated with the present timeline, becoming a fixed destiny. From now on, even if someone traveled back in time to change it, the world would correct itself.

"It is finally over..."

Takumi led Tohka along the bustling streets. Tohka's amethyst eyes glanced around, curious, like a cat seeing itself in the mirror for the first time. She opened her mouth and tried to form syllables, trying to learn the language from what the passersby were saying.

The 'Ring of Ouroboros' behind Takumi slowly rotated, and the 'Kabbalah' surrounded by ouroboros shone brightly. The ten stars were radiant and sacred. His aura became closer to 'eternity' due to the merging of the two truths.

At this moment, he had truly reached the state of 'omniscience and omnipotence.' Even though it was just the most basic quality of "omniscience and omnipotence," it was still an immense power. After all, the quality of 'Ouroboros' and 'Kabbalah' was at the lowest tier. However, when combined, they allowed him to conquer even higher-tier truths.

"Two fists are no match for four hands," Takumi mused. This saying also applied to the confrontation of 'truth.' Though Takumi walked with such a sacred aura, passersby were unable to see it. 'Truth' wasn't something ordinary people could perceive unless it chose to reveal itself.

Takumi arrived at Kurumi's residence. As more Spirits wanted to live with Kurumi, even the Yamai sisters frequently visited. To them, the last time they had met Takumi had been more than forty years ago, and they were now on their journey to becoming deities.

Yes, they had lit up the fourth 'Life Star' twenty years ago, and they still appeared as young girls.

Kurumi's home had now become a multi-story building. Besides serving as a residence, it was also her manga studio.

Before Takumi entered, the sound of fireworks and confetti could be heard, followed by Easter eggs bursting overhead. Tohka was startled and hid behind Takumi instantly.

"How are you? Were you scared, my Hengda people..."

Kurumi said with a smile, holding the fireworks launcher.

"Ah la ah la~ The final sister has arrived. Just now, I felt the chaotic time settle back into place, so I knew our Creator was returning."

Tokisaki Kurumi emerged from the shadow on the ground. The golden dial in her eyes, partially obscured by her bangs, slowly turned.

Rokuro Hoshiguma hurried closer, her eyes filled with longing and a hint of resentment.

"The officer disappeared for so long after bringing me back. Now that you're back, you won't be leaving for another ten or twenty years, will you?"

Takumi smiled at Rokuro, who now appeared to be sixteen or seventeen years old. "You've grown up, Rokuro. You were only eight when I brought you back. This time, there will be no time travel."

Rokuro pouted. "The Hengda people have gathered all the Spirits. Of course, they won't leave again. But we've been waiting for decades. If we hadn't become Spirits and attained immortality, we would've been old by now."

Honjou Nia's expression froze, and she angrily pulled on Kurumi's cheek. "According to our actual age, I'm the oldest, besides Mio! But I'm not old—the beautiful mangaka is always seventeen!"

Kurumi muttered with her cheeks pulled. "Pretending to be young..."

Miku Izayoi put her hands on her hips. "I am actually a real seventeen-year-old beautiful girl!"

Itsuka Kotori crossed her arms. "Speaking of which, my parents aren't as old as Aunt Kurumi."

Those words pierced Kurumi like a sharp sword.

Kurumi clutched her chest, pretending to vomit blood. "Sister-chan... as evil as ever."

Yoshino, feeling overwhelmed by the conversation, tugged her bunny hood, unsure how to join in.

Tobiichi Origami, ignoring her noisy companions, spoke flatly. "So, when's the party? Everyone's eager."

The room fell silent for a moment. Everyone turned to stare at Origami.

Kurumi's lips twitched. "Did you just say... a certain type of party?"

Itsuka Kotori stared at Origami blankly. "Origami, what are you saying?"

Tokisaki Kurumi chuckled. "Ah la ah la~" She knew that Tobiichi Origami was quite bold in the original timeline.

Yoshino blinked, confused. "What kind of party? Why is everyone so quiet?"

Kurumi quickly covered Yoshino's mouth and led her aside. "This is not something Yoshino should know. Let's go over there."

Takumi glanced at Origami, feeling a little awkward. Though he often experienced it during their gatherings, hearing such a suggestion from a girl was strange.

It got even stranger.

Takumi touched Origami's forehead. "The timeline has changed, yet..."

Origami calmly took Takumi's hand off her forehead and placed it on her chest. "The temperature here is more accurate."

"I see... Some overlapping timelines have caused mixed personalities," Takumi observed.

Itsuka Kotori ran over and pushed Origami aside. "Origami, stop it! Don't corrupt the fourth generation!"

Yoshino peeked out from behind Kurumi, but she was quickly pulled back.

Takamiya Mio smiled gently. "Next, you'll take us back to your universe, right? And include Earth in the Teyvat universe."

Hearing this, all the Spirits quieted down.

Takumi nodded. "The Earth-Moon system has begun integrating with the Teyvat universe, but it's not something you can feel."

"Now, let's go to my Garden of Eden."

A 'Gate to the World' appeared in the living room, slowly opening.
