Transmigrating to the world of Genshin Impact and becoming a big shot.

Some time has passed since the Melo Petersburg incident, and Ying and Paimon's prison life in Melo Petersburg is coming to an end.

At the same time, Zhao Chuan was also working hard to stabilize his realm. After reaching the Heavenly King Realm, his meridians were completely transformed by the power of the Primordial Embryo Sea, and he was able to absorb the power of heaven and earth.

"Alright, my cultivation has stabilized. I'm now at the half-step Heavenly King Realm. All that's left is to take that pill to advance another realm and reach the Lower Heavenly King Realm. I've also completed my comprehension of the power of laws. Now all I need is a more advanced cultivation technique."

Zhao Chuan clenched his fist, feeling a sense of comfort from the spiritual energy. He looked at the scenery outside the cave and murmured to himself.

"Host, what kind of cultivation technique do you want?"

The system's voice rang out, and it seemed to have sensed what Zhao Chuan was thinking, so it immediately came over.

"Hmm, let's take a look at the online store."

Zhao Chuan nodded, wanting to see if there were any suitable cultivation techniques he could exchange for.

As soon as he had the thought, the blue panel in front of him immediately unfolded, displaying the mall interface.

"Okay, host."

The system responded cheerfully, as if it was eagerly anticipating what kind of cultivation method Zhao Chuan would choose.

Zhao Chuan's gaze fell upon the dazzling array of cultivation techniques and manuals, and he began to browse through them one by one.

"The Radiant Jade? Five thousand points?"

Zhao Chuan looked at one of the cultivation techniques, titled "Yaotian Jue," which was priced at a staggering 5,000 points.

This manual looked rather ordinary, which forced him to temporarily abandon his idea.

Then, he continued searching among the many cultivation methods, hoping to find a method that suited him.

"【Nine Heavens Divine Technique】: This is an ancient and mysterious method of body cultivation, which is said to have been created by an old immortal.

Beginners can transform their own blood into arrays, possessing powerful defensive and offensive capabilities; those who cultivate to the middle stage can utilize wondrous methods such as transcending the Three Realms and traversing the Six Paths of Reincarnation; those who cultivate to the pinnacle can reach a state of immortality in the face of gods and equal to all deities and Buddhas.

"【Sword Heart Myriad Methods】This is the supreme method of sword cultivation. It takes the sword as the supreme weapon, communicates with the sword heart, and allows the flying sword to soar through the clouds. It can transcend heaven and earth and traverse mountains and rivers. When cultivated to the peak, one can even summon the sword as the supreme weapon, command ten thousand swords, and break through and then rebuild."

"【Three-Word Secret Technique】The Three-Word Secret Technique is known for the three words 'Slay and Execute'. Each word is an independent system. When cultivated to the limit, one can slay anything."

"They all look good. And this Xuanming Shield, which is formed from the laws of nature and can be used to counterattack. It can also be swapped with other shields. Can I have them all, system?"

Zhao Chuan carefully examined the cultivation techniques he had purchased from the system shop and began reading them intently.

"Okay, host. I'll give you a 20% discount. I've already paid 100,000 points. Since you don't have enough points, I'll just convert it to Mora. You now have 30 Mora."

Just then, the system suddenly popped up and reminded Zhao Chuan.

Upon hearing the system's voice, Zhao Chuan paused for a moment, then gave a helpless smile.

Then Zhao Chuan had the cultivation methods for these techniques in mind, so he couldn't wait to start cultivating.

Time passed quickly, and Zhao Chuan had mastered the Nine Heavens Divine Technique and the Sword Heart Myriad Techniques to a minor degree, but he still had some questions about the Three-Word Secret Technique.

Suddenly the ground trembled, causing the vigilant Zhao Chuan to frown and stand up to look outside.

"Is this feeling... the primordial waters of the womb beginning to overflow? I need to go and see."

After Zhao Chuan finished speaking, he flew into the sky and headed towards the direction of the tremor.

Baisong Town...

"Everyone, move up quickly and orderly, don't rush."

Navia directed the crowd to run towards land.

"Boss, you should go up too, the primordial fetal sea is already rising steadily."

Silver reminded him somewhat urgently.

"No, the seawater doesn't know when it will recede. As their leader, I must take on the responsibility of protecting them."

Navia said firmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the seawater roared hoarsely, crashing against the houses in Baisong Town. Residents who hadn't had time to evacuate were immediately submerged by the seawater.

"Oh no, young lady, let's go!"

Myles witnessed the seawater crashing down on Navia, right after the house. He reacted quickly, grabbing Navia's arm and waist and throwing her as high as he could with all his might.

Navia, who had been thrown out by Myles, looked back at Silver and Myles, who were still below.

Just as Navia reached out to pull them up, the cold, merciless seawater engulfed them.

Navia was left standing there, helpless and desperate.

Just then, Zhao Chuan also arrived in the sky above Baisong Town.

His gaze swept across the scene and immediately noticed Navia kneeling on the ground. At the same time, he realized that the sea level was still rising and the situation was extremely critical.

"Navia! Oh no, danger!"

Zhao Chuan's heart sank. He hurriedly called out a reminder and rushed to her location as fast as he could.

“Miss Navia, I apologize for the intrusion.”

Zhao Chuan instantly appeared beside her, casually put his arm around her waist, and quickly led her to a safe area.

After arriving at the safe area, Zhao Chuan gently put down the stunned Navia and turned to leave.

However, at that moment, Navia suddenly tugged at his clothes from behind.

"Thank you. Could you please help me clean up all this seawater? It might be a little difficult for you, but..."

Tears welled up in Navia's eyes, and her voice was filled with pleading.

"Well, since Miss Navia has said so, then you can leave it to me."

Zhao Chuan turned around, a warm smile appearing on his lips.

After saying that, he headed towards Baisong Town.

As the seawater continued to rise, Zhao Chuan frowned deeply, his heart filled with anxiety.

He raised his arm, closed his eyes slightly, and mumbled some strange and indistinct words.

As he spoke, the surging seawater seemed to understand his command and flew towards his palm.

The seawater flew into Zhao Chuan's palm and then miraculously disappeared! This spectacular sight not only astonished Navia, but also left the people who had just been rescued wide-eyed in disbelief.

Time passed second by second, and the seawater was gradually absorbed by Zhao Chuan.

As the last drop of seawater disappeared, Zhao Chuan slowly opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

He turned his head and his gaze fell on Navia. Navia was still immersed in grief, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam, filling her eyes.

"Miss Navia, please accept my condolences. If you want to cry, just let it all out; it might make you feel better."

Zhao Chuan walked to Navia's side, handed her a tissue, and said softly.

Navia took the tissue with trembling hands, gratefully said thank you, and then continued to bury her head in her grief.

Zhao Chuan looked at her quietly, a hint of sympathy and helplessness in his eyes.

He knew it was best to leave Navia alone for the moment, so he silently turned and left.

After a while, Navia wiped away her tears and cheered herself up.

She took a deep breath, stood up resolutely, and walked over to the members of the Thorn Plum Society, beginning to direct them to clean up the mess.

Despite her deep grief, she tried to remain calm and showed resilience.

Zhao Chuan stood on a mountain peak, looking down at the situation below and nodded in satisfaction. He then sat down, took out a jar of peach blossom wine from his storage ring, and began to drink.

"No one can predict when disaster will strike, nor can they know that they were by your side one second and will be gone forever the next."

As Zhao Chuan drank his wine, he muttered to himself, reflecting on the brevity of human life.

After a while, Zhao Chuan looked in the direction of Miss Navia and saw her kneeling on the ground, looking at her father's tombstone and crying, wondering what she would do in the future. Ying, with red eyes, was standing next to her.

"Ying, Paimon, what brings you here?"

Zhao Chuan put the wine away, jumped up, and went to their side to say something.

"Zhao Chuan, what brings you here!"

Paimon said with some surprise.

“We just got out of prison and felt a tremor, so we went to ask Navelette. He told us that there had been an accident here, so we came here hoping to be of help.”

Ying felt a pang of sadness, but she still answered Zhao Chuan, though her voice was choked with emotion.

“Miss Navia, I know you are very sad right now, but you must be strong, because their sacrifice was not in vain. They want you to live a good life.”

Zhao Chuan squatted down, held her hand tightly, and said gently.

He handed Navia a tissue so she could wipe her tears.

Seeing Navia so heartbroken, Paimon couldn't help but feel sad as well.

But since I'm not good at comforting others, I can only stay by her side silently.

"Navia!"

Paimon called out softly, trying to offer her some comfort and support.

At this moment, Ying looked at Zhao Chuan, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Zhao Chuan, do you have any way to bring them back to life?"

She knew the question might be difficult, but she couldn't help asking it anyway.

Zhao Chuan frowned and slowly shook his head, saying:

“Ying, I understand your concern and sympathy for Navia, but death is an irreversible fact. We should respect the laws of life, not try to defy them. And…”

At this point, Zhao Chuan suddenly stopped, as if he had something difficult to say.

He turned to look at Navia, then gestured with his eyes to Ying, hoping to speak with her alone.

Ying also understood the meaning behind Zhao Chuan's words and nodded, leaving Paimon standing there looking dazed.

“Ying, I do have a way to revive them.”

Zhao Chuan and Ying walked to a secluded corner and spoke seriously.

"What? You have a way!"

Paimon, who had just floated over, also exclaimed loudly, startling Zhao Chuan and Ying. They quickly covered Paimon's mouth and looked back at Navia, but seeing that she was still crying, they ignored her.

"Paimon, keep your voice down."

Zhao Chuan put a finger to his lips in a shushing gesture.

"Okay, I understand."

Paimon quickly covered his mouth and nodded.

“I do have a way, but her subordinates were washed away and dissolved by the sea. Not to mention their bodies, they didn’t even have their souls. To fulfill a wish, you have to pay a price. If her wish is indeed to be resurrected, then we need to find their souls. That’s the basic condition.”

Zhao Chuan sighed and said.

"Well, there's really no other way!"

Ying said helplessly.

"It's really heartbreaking to see Navia like that."

Paimon said with some heartache.

"Ying, there's something terrible that you know."

Zhao Chuan looked towards Fontaine in the distance and said.

"What's up!"

Ying also knew that Zhao Chuan might have learned something from his trip to the seabed.

"There may not be a single human in this city. To put it simply, the people here are all pure water spirits."

After Zhao Chuan finished speaking, the two were shocked again and looked in the direction of Zhao Chuan's gaze. Was there not a single real normal person in that distant city? Or rather, were there not a single Fontaine people who were real humans? No wonder they were cursed.

"Alright, Ying, that's all I have to say. I still need you to protect Navia. I need to continue my seclusion."

After Zhao Chuan finished speaking, he left.

"Well, I will."

Ying nodded, but remained stunned for a moment.
