They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 561 Extra Chapter (26): Sandonne Comprehends the Immortal Path

In the outer spacetime, the crescent-shaped light behind the March goddesses, representing their respective moons, has now transformed into the three-colored planet Teyvat.

This means that the three of them have completely replicated Teyvat using the Four Shadows.

Normally, the Four Shadows allow outsiders to directly access and copy the Teyvat Origin Records, so even if Tenryu is fast asleep, he should wake up by now.

Otherwise, it would be killed in its sleep.

However, just as you can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep, if Heaven were to wake up, it would be 100% able to sense the gaze of the Immortal [1].

So, whether it was so badly injured that it would never wake up again, or it simply didn't want to wake up, Arya, Kanon, and Sanada had all finished their work, and Tenryu remained completely silent.

Of course, for Arya, Kanon, and Sanada, it would be best if the heavens remained untouched, since they didn't want to see Teyvat experience another War of the Dead.

Even if the natural order is suppressed in an instant, once the order it has established collapses, it will still be a disaster for humanity, which has adapted to the current order.

After finishing their business, Arya, Kanon, and Sanada looked at Teyvat, reluctant to leave for a long time.

Teyvat is their de facto home, and having watched over this place for countless years, they are understandably reluctant to leave.

For the goddess of March, this departure, under the new gods, and when she will be able to return to see them again, is completely unknown.

Genovia understood the feelings of the March Goddess, and since Danlei hadn't asked them to return immediately after replicating the Teyvat data, she didn't urge them.

However, after watching Ying being rescued by Danheng, and the Doctor silently raging alone, Sanada suddenly said...

“Miss Genovya, could I secretly help my little sister? I just want to help her get back to Teyvat.”

Before Genovia could even respond to this request, Canon directly and seriously retorted.

"Sannata! The Immortal Lord forbids us from interfering with Teyvat! We are not to overstep our bounds!"

Having already reprimanded Canon, Genovia didn't bother reprimanding her rather scheming new colleague. Instead, she drew her greatsword and coldly said...
“My Lord’s command is absolute. If anyone tries to disobey, I will kill them on the spot.”

There was no murderous intent in Genovia's eyes when she said this, but everyone knew she was serious.

Because her behavior was similar to that of rational fanatics among humans.

Such people are generally easy to talk to, and even kind-hearted, as long as their beliefs are not involved.

However, this becomes problematic when it comes to faith, especially commands issued by the faith itself.

Unless the believer herself changes her mind, no one can stop her from carrying out the divine decree.

Genovia's words really frightened Sanada; she didn't want to experience having her original body shattered again.

After saving them for three months, Danlei bestowed upon them physical bodies, which are now their true forms.

So, Sannada hid behind her older sister Arya with a frightened look on her face, and dared not say another word.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became awkward.

Fortunately, Rheindorf, now in power, was extremely bold and directly asked...

“Miss Genovia, you have achieved your purpose in coming here.”

So, will that supreme immortal stop paying attention to Teyvat from now on?

Genovia was not angry about Rheindorf's question and calmly replied as before.
"The thoughts of our Lord are beyond the comprehension of us mortals. This planet is already greatly honored to have received the favor of our Lord."

Genovya's answer made Rheindorf laugh, but she had no interest in refuting the fanatic's beliefs.

Especially since that god is completely beyond his ability to fight against, and is now watching him.

So she turned her gaze to Asmodian, the ruler of the skies, and smiled.

“I said, you’ve been hiding all this time, not even attending the Four Shadows Conference.”

Now that you've been forcibly brought here, don't you have anything to say?

Asmodé glanced at Rheindorf, then turned his head away and looked back at Teyvat, without answering the question.

Seeing that Asmodée ignored him, Rhein-Dort still didn't give up and wanted to ask again, even preparing to provoke her with words.

Anyway, with the former March and a powerful divine messenger present, Asmodie would definitely not make a move here.

However, Naberis, who had become one with Rhinedot, stopped her in time, speaking within Rhinedot's mind.
“Dear Rheindorf, please stop provoking Asmodé.”

"Teyvat's life or death hangs in the balance, held by the will of some immortal. I will not allow you to let your curiosity lead things astray at this moment."

Faced with Naberis's dissuasion, Rheindorf retorted without hesitation.
"I think that the god who uses change as the constant to prove immortality might actually want me to steer things out of control, because that would be more in line with his philosophy."

However, Rhein-Dortmund had his own objections.

In reality, she followed Nabelis's advice and didn't provoke Asmodeus further. Instead, she changed the subject and asked Istaru...
"Istaru, do you think that if this doctor's plan succeeds, he will destroy Teyvat?"

Istaru answered this question calmly.
"His plan was doomed to fail, and even if he defeated all his opponents in Nordkale, he would face new adversaries."

As you know, there are many hidden powerhouses in Teyvat, and we won't even have a chance to make a move before this doctor is defeated.

The power of the three months he seized does not make him invincible in Teyvat. The fire god can use the power of Ronava, and the wind god can use my power to fight against him to some extent.

The water dragon in Fontaine was not afraid of him at all.

The Rock God... well, that goes without saying.

"Huh! This is... the future is uncertain."

As Ishtar spoke, without any warning, the Immortal [One]'s gaze fell directly on a being in Teyvat.

This wasn't Danlei actively observing Teyvat; rather, someone triggered the Fatewalker's Glance mechanism, giving Teyvat its first native Fatewalker, and an Immortal Fatewalker at that.

Seeing this, and considering Istar's感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions), Rheindorf smiled broadly, then looked at Teyvat again and laughed.
"Oh dear, even Ishtar can't see the future. One of my companions must be having a real headache right now."

She's going to drastically change her divination methods; I reckon she sees everything as a muddy mess now.

Interestingly, this little girl was Teyvat's first native Pathwalker.

However, thinking about it, it makes sense; she was seeing the world from the shoulders of two giants…

To fully explain the story of this Teyvat native, we need to go back in time.

Long before the Star Train returned to Nordkale, Miss Sandone, the seventh seat of the Fools' Executive and Columbia's close friend, arrived in Nasha Town with a large amount of salvaged data after the Lunar Force Experiment Design Bureau was swallowed by the Doctor's Domain. She joined the anti-Doctor team and became one of them.

Later, while discussing alchemy with Abedo, Sandone learned that Columbia was still alive and was traveling backward in time in the Mirror Dimension.

The moment Sandone learned that Columbia was still alive, he instantly relinquished revenge on the Doctor to a lesser priority, his mind consumed by thoughts of how to bring Columbia back from the Mirror Dimension. For Sandone, Columbia's return was more important than anything else.

So she began to study the materials left behind by his creator, Alan Gijodan, one of the two legends of the Narcissus Cross Academy, the founder and first director of the Fontaine Academy of Sciences.

They hoped to find a solution to save Colombia from this great inventor's research on the world.

However, Alain Giordan's research on the world as a scientist was insufficient to solve the problem of summoning Columbia.

Sandoni was a flexible person and did not have some of Alain Giordan's obsessions.

Through Abedo's alchemical data, she analyzed step by step, gradually shifting her research focus from Alan's phenomenal numerology to another great legend of the Narcissus Cross, René's world formula.

To be honest, it's a cruel joke of fate that Alain and René were born in the same era.

René's world formula is full of calculations of constants, indicating that he was convinced that the fate of the world was fixed, and that it was determinism.

Alan firmly believes in mechanical technology, thinks the world can be changed, and insists on what is meaningful. Even if we cannot conquer nature, we must still demonstrate human consciousness.

These two people have completely opposite ideas.

Alan created the Phenomenon Numbers to calculate Teyvat itself, thereby finding a breakthrough in destiny.

However, calculating a world was far too advanced for the Teyvat civilization.

The fate of the world is too vast, and computing power is simply insufficient; the end of the world is naturally difficult to predict scientifically.

Therefore, Alain created Sandoni in his later years and gave her all his knowledge.

It is estimated that when Alain created Sandone, he had the idea of ​​having Sandone inherit his last wish to complete the symbolic number formula.

Of course, after creating Sandone, this idea was incorporated into daily life. In the end, he only hoped that Sandone would find his own desire and live according to his own will.

As for Alain, he knew about Rene's research and had even read it carefully.

However, even after seeing René's research, he was unwilling to put his incompatible ideas into the same model.

All I can say is that Alain never forgave René until his death, not wanting his research to "pollute" his hard work.

However, Sandonne had none of these concerns.

In her eyes, as long as it could save Columbia, she would use not only René's research, but even the Doctor's research.

Thus, Sandonne began to piece together two diametrically opposed ideas.

She established the existence and judgment of the Great Circle.

Define complete nothingness and complete reality, and then search for the conditions and variables for construction between the two.

This variable is set as an external variable (the Descendant) outside the system.

Then, iterate through the world, time, and civilization, extracting the necessary nodes from the records and determining the variables they point to.

Thus, the primordial power... the power of light, is distinguished from nothingness.

After completing this initial step, Sandonne discovered that there were still many missing variables in the entire procedure.

So she thought of the information about Himeko's destiny that she had accessed simultaneously, and tried to fill in the blanks with the destiny that Himeko had described.

Then, we begin to simulate this new world-style operation.

Of course, a model of this caliber cannot succeed on the first try. Even if Sandoni's computing power is insufficient, it is still possible to perform a simple simulation to see if the formula can run.

Therefore, what followed was a long period of modification, until just now, when Sandonne completed the Nth modification, the simulation actually ran.

At the same time, Sandone suddenly sensed something, looked up at the sky, and saw an indescribable dragon watching her.

The next second, Sandonne's consciousness returned to the present, and then she felt an incredible power suddenly appear within her body.

The glimpse of Immortality [I] granted Sandone a powerful immortal destiny.

As a doll, Sandonne has the characteristic of being able to maintain itself for a long time by constantly updating its parts and maintaining it, which is in line with the concept of eternity.

Now, combining Alan and Rene's research, with the Advent and Fate as variables, she has completed a new world-building, bringing new variables to the entire world of Teyvat.

One could say that Sandonne's New World Theory theoretically provides a way to effectively break through the limitations of Teyvat's fate.

If this thing were recorded, it would be a forbidden book even more dangerous than the previous life of the sun and moon. If Heaven knew this, it would probably drop a dozen nails in an instant to completely destroy it.

However, Tenri is either still asleep or too afraid to move, and in any case, he has not done anything to Sandone.

Moreover, after Sandone was glanced at by the Immortal [I], the transformed Immortal directly helped her break free from the shackles of Teyvat's fate and become a transcendent.

Feeling the immense power of his immortal destiny within him, Sandonne exclaimed with excitement.

"This is the power of glimpse and destiny; no wonder those people on the Star Train are so powerful."

With this power alone, I should now have the fighting strength to be among the top three executives.

"Now that Columbia's back, I'm going to show her my new power and see who blows whose head off."

After evaluating his new power, Sandone looked at the new world on the table, injected the power of immortal destiny into his computing core, and ran it again.

Then her face froze, and she slammed her hand on the table, yelling at the air.

"Damn it, even with the new power, the computing power is still not enough. This time, my hardware can't keep up."

Am I supposed to invent a supercomputer on the spot? Even if I could, I don't have the time or resources to build it!

Sandonne's roar went unanswered; she didn't install a comfort module for Pronia beside her.

So, after Sandonne plopped back down, he said helplessly to Pronia.
"Pronia, get me some refreshments. I need something sweet to calm down."

Prognia received the order and silently brought Sandoni a cup of tea.

When Sandonne saw the tea and snacks, his eyes lit up, and he began to mutter to himself again.

"This is a cake that I took from the train on March 7th. Arecino brought it back for me."

Yes, the Star Train Group itself is also a variable; if you don't have the computing power, go find them.

I remember that the Frost Moon Child Moon Singer announced that the Starry Sky Train crew had returned.

"Pronia, tidy up the spells on the table. Let's go find that biggest variable!"
