Chapter 932 The Method to Save Beidou
After talking with many people, Ying and Xiao Paimon went to find Mawika, but Safiel did not go with them and returned to Chengehu.
Rosalyn and Fox Palace were standing guard beside Beidou, their faces full of worry. Ningguang was also there, along with Baizhu, who were preparing the medicine to be used next.
Upon seeing Saffir arrive, Ningguang stood up from the bedside and went to greet him. She opened her mouth, but said nothing.
“I’m sorry,” Saffir said first.
Ningguang shook her head. She knew that Saffir couldn't be blamed for this. The situation was urgent, and if Beidou hadn't blocked all the damage, Mavica would have been injured.
The cost of resurrecting an ordinary person is different from that of resurrecting a god. At that time, it was the right choice for Beidou to exchange his own life for Mawika's.
Moreover, Beidou's body was even stronger, and it did not die from such a huge energy impact, but instead fell into a deep coma.
Saffir treated Beidou immediately, but Lillian's self-destruction was not just a simple case of external injury; it simply meant that her body could not immediately awaken Beidou.
Looking at the woman lying quietly on the bed, Saffir didn't know what to do.
Fox Palace spoke up, "I've checked her; her consciousness is still hazy, perhaps..."
“It’s a side effect. Beidou died once, so the fusion between his soul and body is not as good as that of an ordinary person. And that guy’s self-destruction could damage the soul, so this was to be expected.” Saffir could make a diagnosis with just one glance.
Damage to the soul is very difficult to heal.
Fox Palace nodded silently. Not only was Beidou like this, but all those who were resurrected were like this; it was no secret.
Among Safiel's retinue, Hokuto Rosaline and Fox Palace had the best relationship.
They were the first three members of the family, and also the family members who spent the longest time together.
Now that Beidou is injured and unconscious, Rosalyn and Fox Palace are very worried.
Looking at the people present, Saffir felt a little sad. Support was necessary, and casualties were expected. In fact, it was the best outcome that only Beidou was seriously injured.
But this is not something to be thankful for; looking at the people on the bed, they felt only heaviness in their hearts.
Bai Zhu walked over with the bowl of medicine, looked it over from left to right, and then handed it to Ning Guang: "I don't know if this medicine will work, it's a sedative..."
“It’s my prescription. I don’t know if it will work or what the side effects will be. If something goes wrong, he can’t take responsibility. You can come to me.” The longevity charm hanging around Bai Shu’s neck spoke up.
These words were spoken to Saphir. After all, Changsheng was a celestial being, and it didn't need to answer to anyone except Saphir.
Saffir nodded slightly: "I understand, thank you for your hard work."
Ningguang fed Beidou the medicine little by little, then sat silently by the bedside.
The atmosphere inside was somewhat heavy; no one spoke, making it exceptionally quiet.
Rosalind winked at Saffir, signaling her to go outside to talk.
Saffir nodded, and the two opened the door and went out.
Once outside, they walked a short distance before Rosalyn spoke: "Beidou is badly injured and won't wake up anytime soon."
"Well, but his life isn't in danger. His physical injuries have fully healed. The main problem now is the trauma to his soul, which is a bit tricky." Saffir was quite familiar with the situation, so he was also a little troubled.
Rosalyn sighed, "She's ultimately just a human soul, not that resilient. If she were a demon god, she'd probably be alive and kicking by now."
“What if it’s a demon god…” Saffir fell into deep thought upon hearing this.
Rosalyn felt a chill run down her spine upon seeing this. She sensed that Saffir might be having some dangerous thoughts and wondered whether she should stop him.
After a long while, Saffir came to her senses, a barely perceptible light flickering in her eyes. She looked at Rosalyn and said, "It's unrealistic to turn her into a demon god, but there is indeed a way to repair the soul."
"What do you need?" Rosalyn asked without hesitation.
Saffir shook his head. "I'll prepare the things. It's not a difficult thing."
Her thought was simple: an ancient name.
Beidou left behind many stories throughout Teyvat. Even in Nata, because she protected the Flower Feather Society, the Nata people held her in very high regard.
If that's the case, then the conditions for creating an ancient name are met.
Of course, the ancient name is not the most important thing; it's just a medium. Or, Saffir could have thought about it differently: why must we use Nata's standard?
She could easily create an ancient name for the continent of Teyvat based on the way the Nata people used ancient names, without necessarily limiting herself to Nata.
It's possible in Liyue, but there's a problem there: the world of the dead is located on Wuwang Slope, and the situation there isn't good. To deal with things there, we need to take over the power of the Hall of Rebirth.
Moreover, now is not the time. The right time and place are not yet in place. Should we wait?
BeiDou may not be able to last until then.
Just as Sapphire was debating whether to insist on going, Zhongli arrived.
Seeing Saffir and Rosalyn's furrowed brows, a knowing glint flashed in Zhongli's eyes.
He stepped forward and asked, "I understand the situation. What are your plans now?"
“I want to go to Wuwangpo,” Saffir honestly replied.
In the current situation, being honest with Zhongli directly might garner some assistance.
Zhongli nodded upon hearing this: "Are you planning to visit Taodu?"
"Hmm. Can I go?" Saffir looked intently at Zhongli.
Zhongli pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "I don't recommend it. The time isn't right yet."
"But what about Beidou?" Saffir was not surprised by Zhongli's reaction; her reason told her that this was not the time to do it.
Zhongli thought for a while before speaking: "We can use Nata's ancient name for now, and the time will be right when the Lantern Festival arrives. It won't be long."
There are still a few months left until the Lantern Festival. Before that, let's make a simple Nata name for Beidou.
Zhongli's suggestion made Saffir hesitate; she preferred to resolve the issue directly rather than drag it out.
Zhongli noticed her distress and spoke up again: "Actually, Captain Beidou's condition is not dangerous. Even if left unattended, nothing will happen. He just won't wake up."
“That’s very serious. She’s such a proud person, how could she be willing to lie in bed and be taken care of by others?” Saffir spread his hands. “I want to cure her, I want to cure her immediately.”
"Boss Phil, haste makes waste. Stay calm. The matter with Nata is far from over. We need to prioritize things," Zhong Li reminded him.
Saffir looked intently into Zhongli's eyes, sensing that he was implying something.
She narrowed her eyes: "Do you know something?"
“You don’t want to miss out on anything either, right?” Zhongli smiled when he saw that Saffir understood.
Upon hearing this, Saffir turned and left. She'd be an idiot if she still didn't understand after all that.
Since we're going to create Nata's ancient name, we need to first get some materials from Kustark, and then create a simple ancient name to temporarily keep Hokuto's soul from shattering by borrowing Kustark's power.
Let's just leave it at that for the next few months and then solve this problem completely when the Lantern Festival arrives.
Saffir left the Dust Song Pot and immediately headed to Kustak's location.
Meanwhile, Ying and Paimon found Mavica.
Upon seeing the two little ones approaching, Mavica was somewhat dazed: "Ah...you've come."
"Why do you seem a bit listless? Are you tired?" Paimon keenly noticed that something was wrong with Mavica.
Mavica forced a smile: "I think so. After taking to the skies, I can see the entire Nata region and the sacrifices people have made to achieve victory."
I am so glad that I was able to find Safiel as an ally this time; otherwise, I don’t even want to think about what might have happened.
Ah, now's not the time for that, um... let's stick to the juice, right?
"Mmm! I want a large!" Paimon's bottomless stomach is never full.
Ying was more optimistic: "In any case, this is the best-case scenario now, isn't it?"
“Well, for me, the plan I made five hundred years ago is basically complete. Now there’s only one last step left.” Mavica breathed a sigh of relief. “This last step is the final battle against the Abyss. Combat is the thing I’m most familiar with, so I don’t feel that much pressure.”
The mention of fighting immediately energized Paimon: "You looked so cool punching that bad guy to pieces! Will you always be this strong?"
A smile crept into Mavica's eyes as she shook her head. "Oh, that's because the Divine Throne activated all my potential. It's only a temporary effect. If it were to continue like this, my body wouldn't be able to handle it."
Furthermore, the special effect of the Resurrection Poem has disappeared; from now on, it can only be used by the holder of the Ancient Name.
Ying thought for a moment and said, "But, there won't be a Night Watchers War for the time being, right?"
“Yes, the Abyss has been severely weakened and will not appear periodically for the time being.” Mavica nodded, agreeing with Ying’s idea. “I also hope that people can enjoy this period of peace…”
"Yes, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should be a lasting peace. The millennia-long war with the abyss should come to an end at this moment."
After a moment of reflection, Mavica suddenly looked at Ying: "By the way, there are a few things I'm curious about. In other countries, you were always at the center of the story, fighting against all sorts of powerful enemies."
The war has just ended, and you've been tirelessly traveling everywhere... You're clearly just a traveler, so why are you always so full of passion and willing to risk your life?
Ying thought about it carefully for a moment, and then said, "Because I also received unreserved kindness from others when I was most confused and helpless."
"Does this count as a legacy?" Mavica didn't think too much about it, simply assuming that Ying had passed on this kindness.
Ying smiled slightly: "Whether it counts as inheritance or not, I can't say for sure. I feel like I'm just learning from Saphir. She was a busybody, so I will try my best to help others and other countries."
“Having a qualified guide is really important.” Mavica was not surprised by this answer at all. After all, she had also obtained a lot of information about Saffir, and Saffir was indeed worthy of being Ying’s guide.
She looked at Ying and then at Paimon: "It's unbelievable. She's clearly an executor of the Fools, yet she doesn't connect you with the Fools."
"Because she has many identities, she cannot be simply summarized as an executive officer." Paimon was well aware of this.
Upon hearing this, Mavica nodded. She was still unsure whether Saphir had obtained the position of the Rock God.
However… judging from the strength she displayed this time, it seems that a divine position is nothing to her.
"Speaking of which, Mavica, could you have defeated Saffir in your previous form?" Paimon was more curious about this.
Mavica raised an eyebrow: "What does Paimon think?"
"Should...maybe, probably...maybe?" Paimon used many vague words. Even with Mavica going all out, she wasn't sure who was stronger between the two.
Seeing Paimon's reaction, Mavica chuckled and said, "There's no point in asking now. We're not really going to fight."
“That makes sense,” Paimon nodded.
Mavica smiled without saying a word, but she knew very well what was happening in the sky while various battles were taking place below.
The fact that Safiel single-handedly confronted both the ruling powers of Time and Death, and even forced the ruling power of Death to back down and make concessions, is simply astonishing.
Most of her divine power comes from the Reign of Death, yet Sapphire has dared to directly confront Jonawa. It's quite obvious who is stronger.
What she didn't know was that Saffir's current performance was still suppressed. If she left Teyvat, Saffir, with all her abilities unleashed, might even possess power exceeding that of a star level, or even greater power.
There's no point in comparing combat strength with the Teyvats anymore.
“In short, you have extraordinary talent and a righteous heart. I really hope to join hands with you to the end and get through this catastrophe.” Mavica changed the subject. “But I don’t want you to feel that I want to use your kindness and enthusiasm to coerce you. After all, the final battle is a dangerous thing, and for you, the journey ahead may be more important.”
After saying that, without waiting for Paimon and Ying to reply, she waved her hand and said, "You must be very tired. Get some rest today. Please come to the office again tomorrow."
I will explain the final battle, and I hope to get your answer then.
The conversation ended there, and Ying and Paimon went back to rest.
But the night is long, and some people can't fall asleep, like Sylvanas, the master of smoke.
She foresaw Mavica's death, thinking that everything would be alright after this war ended, but tonight, she foresaw it again; the threat of death was not over.
Sweating profusely as she emerged from her meditation, Cetalli stood up, walked to the window, and gazed at the bright moon outside, all sleepiness gone.
