Tingyun was still alive!!
After checking the group chat, Himeko also realized they were likely at Natasha's clinic.
March 7th, who knew Natasha, wasted no time calling her.
Thus, this scene unfolded.
"Of course I know them!!"
"Natasha, how's Tingyun doing? Is she alright?"
March 7th was visibly worried.
Natasha then brought her phone closer to Takumi and Tingyun.
"She seems to be doing quite well."
She smiled as she looked at Tingyun's recovering form.
Her condition was dire before, and now it was the complete opposite.
"March 7th, you already know? Want to come over? I can open the door for you."
Takumi looked at the worried March 7th and chuckled.
At this point, the treatment was already complete.
Chapter 238: Did You Divinate Something?
March 7's eyes lit up the moment she heard Takumi speak.
"Open the door quickly!!"
She didn't hesitate for a second. She absolutely had to come over. How could she possibly not?
Takumi replied with a chuckle, "Just in time. She should be waking up soon. Come on over."
With his words, a space corridor spanning countless light-years opened up right in front of March 7.
Seeing this, she promptly put away her phone and rushed through the portal with Xing, Lumine, and Paimon.
"Takumi~!!" March 7 called out excitedly when she saw him.
Her gaze immediately fell on the unconscious Tingyun lying on the bed. Seeing the fox lady again filled her with joy.
"When will she wake up?" she asked Takumi expectantly. Xing also turned her attention to him.
"Isn't she waking up right now?" Takumi said with a playful smile, motioning for them to look over.
March 7 and Xing turned back toward Tingyun, just in time to see her slowly opening her eyes.
"This... where am I?" Tingyun mumbled in confusion.
Wasn't she locked in a dark place? She had lost all hope.
But now, she could open her eyes again.
Fragments of memory began to surface.
"Tingyun!!" March 7 and Xing cried out in excitement.
Hearing the familiar voices, Tingyun froze.
"My benefactors?"
Seeing the two, she was clearly stunned.
"This is amazing!!" March 7 burst into tears.
"It's such a relief you're alright!" Xing beamed.
If Yukong found out, she'd be overjoyed too.
"Did you save me again, benefactors?" Tingyun sat up, her injuries practically gone.
She felt almost back to normal. Surprised, she examined her condition.
"No, no!" March 7 hurriedly wiped her tears and clarified.
"It was Takumi who saved you!!"
Tingyun blinked in surprise. Takumi?
She turned her eyes and saw a strikingly handsome man.
"That's right!! That's me," Takumi said with a grin.
Tingyun smiled, her heart full of gratitude.
"Thank you, benefactor, for saving my life. I will never forget this kindness. If there is anything you ever need from me, just say the word. I will do my utmost."
She was completely sincere. Without Takumi, she doubted she would've survived.
"Alright~! But you should also thank Dr. Natasha. She's the one who kept you alive long enough to save."
Tingyun had been hanging by a thread, and it was Natasha who had stabilized and gradually treated her.
Without Natasha, she really would've died.
Natasha shook her head at Takumi's words.
"Healing the wounded is a doctor's duty. No need to thank me."
She didn't think she'd done anything extraordinaryTakumi had done the real saving.
"You can't say that," Takumi shrugged.
"Without you, she would've been gone."
Tingyun nodded solemnly.
"Yes, Dr. Natasha. Thank you as well. I will remember this debt. If you ever need help, just ask."
Seeing their sincerity, Natasha didn't press further.
"Alright then! Since you're fully recovered, we can remove all this equipment. Your body's in perfect condition. It's the first time I've seen power like this. Anyone else might think the Aeon of Abundance showed up."
She couldn't help but admire it.
"Huh?" Tingyun flinched.
Abundance?
"It's not the power of Abundance," Takumi explained, still smiling. "It's just one of my Authorities."
This was meant to reassure Tingyun.
Hearing that, Tingyun finally let out a breath of relief. Goodit wasn't that.
Natasha stepped forward to remove the medical equipment from Tingyun.
These devices had kept her alive, but now they were no longer necessary.
With everything detached, Tingyun was able to get out of bed.
However, she was still in a patient gownloosely fitted and revealing in parts for convenience.
Realizing this, Tingyun felt a bit awkward.
Takumi was still here, after all.
Seeing her discomfort, Takumi smiled and materialized a set of clothes, handing them over.
It was the exact outfit Tingyun wore in the game.
"Change into this first. When you're ready, just walk through the portal. That leads to Luofu."
With that, Takumi opened a space portal.
He intended to bring Tingyun back but wanted to arrange a few things first.
Tingyun blinked, then nodded.
"Yes, benefactor!"
After a nod, Takumi walked into the portal and disappeared.
Watching this, Natasha grew more curious.
Just who was Takumi?
To wield such power?
That portal led to Xianzhou Luofu?
Incredible!
She knew exactly how far Jarilo was from Luofu.
And now he just casually opened a passage to it?
Was this real?
For a moment, Natasha was stunned.
Now that only the girls were left in the room, Tingyun began changing.
But as she did, she couldn't help wondering
How did Takumi know her exact measurements?
Her face flushed with embarrassment.
She pouted slightly but said nothing.
Instead, she quietly stepped aside and got changed.
...
Meanwhile, Takumi had returned to Luofu.
Just as he paused to wait, someone came to see him.
"Honored guest, forgive our lack of hospitality."
"Esteemed visitor, I am Fu Xuan, head of the Divination Commission."
"Might I ask your name?"
Takumi turned to look at her, a bit surprised.
She had come alone.
He had only met her once before.
And now she had come to meet him in person?
Had she divined something?
Curious, Takumi looked at her with interest.
Chapter 239: Arent There Quite a Few Similarities?
Fu Xuan had indeed divined that something good was going to happen today. At first, she was quite puzzled. But after a more detailed reading, she realized that an extraordinary guest was arriving. Adding to that, she had the odd feeling earlier that someone had been watching her.
That prompted her to conduct a more thorough divination, and she discovered that the long-missing fox tribe girl, whose fate had been unknown, had actually been rescued. And what's more, she would be returning to the Xianzhou very soon. This made Fu Xuan feel unsettled, and she immediately made her way here.
"Hello! I'm Takumi. I didn't expect the renowned Lady Type-C herself would come here. Did you foresee something in your divination?"
In response to Takumi's question, Fu Xuan nodded. "Something good is destined to happen today, so I came. Mr. Takumi, welcome to Luofu."
Takumi smiled upon hearing that. "I merely brought her back and let her handle a few matters. After that, I intend to take her with me."
Fu Xuan was slightly surprised upon hearing this, but didn't comment further. The two stood and chatted casually for a while.
Before long, March 7th and the others came through the spatial passage. As soon as March 7th arrived, she spotted Fu Xuan.
"Huh? Fu Xuan, you're here too?"
"Lady Fu Xuan!" Tingyun's eyes lit up when she saw Fu Xuan and immediately greeted her.
"Seeing that you've returned puts my mind at ease. Make sure to inform Yukong. She's been rather distressed about your situation. And in the future, follow Mr. Takumi. I've done a readingit shows your future with him is limitless."
Hearing this, Tingyun froze for a moment. "Understood. I'm willing to follow my benefactor. I'll go meet Lady Yukong shortly. I've truly caused her a lot of worry."
As she said this, she felt a bit guilty. Given what had happened to her, Yukong must have been terribly upset. As for what Fu Xuan saidfollowing Takumishe didn't think much of it. That actually sounded quite good. She didn't know exactly what kind of person her benefactor was, but since Fu Xuan endorsed him, she would certainly obey.
"Tingyun, are you really going to follow Takumi? That means leaving this world, you know?" March 7th blinked in surprise. She didn't quite understand why Fu Xuan would suggest that.
March 7th's words made Tingyun pause, but she quickly composed herself.
"I don't mind. If my benefactor is willing to take me away, that's actually quite wonderful."
This world was far too dangerous. She didn't want to go through those experiences again. Besides, if her benefactor could be here, that meant he had the ability to return at any time. So it wouldn't be a problem.
"I will take Tingyun with me," Takumi said, smiling. "But if she ever wants to return, she only needs to say the word. She can come back here anytimeit's no trouble."
Takumi smiled gently at everyone. Truth be told, he hadn't expected Fu Xuan to say such things. Her words had saved him a lot of explaining.
"Hmm... that's true," March 7th nodded in agreement. "It would be easy for Takumi to bring Tingyun back anytime."
The group chatted for a while longer before Takumi spoke up.
"Miss Tingyun, go take care of your matters first. I'll come find you later."
After saying that, Takumi disappeared and resumed wandering the world. He gave Tingyun time to settle her affairs, so he wouldn't interfere for now.
Once Takumi vanished, Fu Xuan turned her gaze to March 7th.
"I'm quite curiouswhat is Mr. Takumi's identity?"
Though she had divined that Takumi was an esteemed guest, his true identity remained elusive. March 7th should know, right?
Tingyun was also curious.
"Takumi is a Stellaron Hunter," March 7th began, chattering away. "He's a newly ascended Aeon from another world!"
Hearing her explanation, both Fu Xuan and Tingyun were stunned.
An Aeon? Shocking!
They were both absolutely astonished. So he really was that newly ascended Aeon? Incredible!
...
Meanwhile, Takumi was unaware of what was happening after he left. He was currently streaming in the chat group while wandering around, chatting with everyone.
Fujiwara Chika, in particular, was deeply curious about Takumi's destiny.
Fujiwara Chika: [Does your path overlap with other Aeons?] [Black-handsome Void, and Entropy.] [Isn't that risky? Aren't Aeons capable of mutual assimilation?]
This was what intrigued her the most.
The Entropy path naturally overlapped with several others. The Aeon of Order had already been assimilated by the Aeon of Harmony, after all. Would Takumi face the same problem?
Takumi: [What does this outsider Aeon have to do with the locals?] [Which Aeon is bold enough to try assimilating me?]
Takumi found the suggestion ridiculous. That sort of thing wouldn't happen to him.
Leaving aside his strengthhe was already on par with Aeons even before ascending. Furthermore, he had always been favored by the Imaginary Tree, and now he'd become a full-fledged Aeon. He was essentially an out-of-system entity. Others couldn't meddle with him.
In fact, in this world, it was uncertain if anyone could even step into his destined path.
A mere official trying to execute the crown prince? Outrageous!
Seeing Takumi's response, Fujiwara Chika exclaimed in disbelief.
Is that so?
Himeko: [Aeons in our world are obsessive incarnations of abstract, highly condensed philosophical concepts. But Takumi is an outsider. His Aeonhood came from the Imaginary Tree, unlike the Aeons here who ascend through their own understanding.]
Himeko clarified the distinction. They were fundamentally different, so the concerns Fujiwara Chika raised wouldn't apply.
Fujiwara Chika: [Is that so? How complicated!!]
Reading Himeko's message gave Chika a headache. It was too complicated. She couldn't understand it. Forget it, she didn't want to think anymore. Brains weren't for her.
Takumi: [Besides, I'm not even from this world, so there's no need to worry about that issue. If we're really talking about risk, going to the Little Garden could be more dangerous.]
[After all, the path of Entropy somewhat overlaps with one of the twin goddesses of creation and endthe Goddess of Omega.]
One of Shiroyasha's top superiors. Creation Alpha and Entropy Omega.
Aren't those a bit too similar?
Chapter 240: When Things Go Wrong, Dont PanicJust Immigrate
Takumi brought up a topic that sparked shiroyasha's interest, prompting her to chime in as well.
shiroyasha: [What you said does make a lot of sense.] [But it doesn't seem like there's much to worry about.] [After all, your power and hers are fundamentally different.] [The spiritual identities might be similar, but that's it.] [So something like that is basically not going to happen.] [There are tons of people in the Little Garden with similar spiritual traits.] [Besides, you might just be humanity's final trial.]
The more she thought about it, the more shiroyasha felt it was impossible for such a thing to occur. It's a fundamental difference.
If you dig into the powers of the Decadent Wind, isn't that pretty much the same as End? But that person is the Final Trial.
Kaguya Houraisan: [This is way over my head!] [@Miori Shiba, you there? I'm heading over now.]
Kaguya Houraisan also appeared in the chat. She was already prepared and planning to head out.
Seeing someone tag her, Miori Shiba quickly responded.
Miori Shiba: [Just come over.] [I've had Prometheus make all the arrangements.]
Since Takumi wasn't around, Kaguya Houraisan had to turn to Miori Shiba.
Takumi glanced at the situation in the group chat and smiled, choosing not to continue the topic.
He was definitely going to the Little Garden. After coming to Honkai: Star Rail, he basically had no worries left.
Takumi also realized one thing: all his power came from the chat group.
Isn't the chat group more advanced than the Little Garden? Just look at how the Imaginary Tree treats him.
No problem. No panic!
Rather than panic, Takumi was more curious about the chat group. What kind of existence was it really? Its power was borderline terrifying.
While Takumi wandered around, Ruiko Saten suddenly tagged him.
Ruiko Saten: [@Takumi, I think Aleister's really got his eyes on me!!] [shivering.jpg]
