Chapter 13 - Chapter 13

[Tighnari: Little Paimon is right. Humans and animals can be healed by healing power, but how can inanimate objects be healed?]

[Lyney: Restoring dead things shouldn't be called healing, but rather repairing.]

[Yoimiya: Yeah, no matter how you think about it, it's quite strange for inanimate objects to be healed like living creatures.]

[Cloud Retainer: Could it be that this man, Takagi, is deliberately using such words to entice Barbara to step into the universe with him?]

[Albedo: Could it be that Abundance is actually a power similar to alchemy?]

[Sucrose: But... if the Holy Lyre der Himmel was repaired using alchemy, it shouldn't be called healing, right?]

"This is the limitation of your thinking." Takagi shook his head and smiled. "Abundance is by no means simple healing power. Powerful Path power can easily cure stubborn illnesses, regrow severed limbs, and bring withered trees back to life. And if the Blessing of Abundance one possesses further increases, this power can even cure conditions like 'Short Lifespan'. Just repairing the Holy Lyre? That's simply too easy."

[Baizhu: 'Short Lifespan'? Does that mean it can extend life?! To what extent can it extend it?!]

[Hu Tao: No way... extending life like that is a bit too exaggerated, isn't it?]

[Tighnari: Since it's a power that can treat life-limiting conditions, does that mean it can also treat madness?!]

[Dehya: It can treat madness?! No, I have to go to Mondstadt too.]

[Candace: Calm down, Dehya. Even if you leave now, you won't reach Mondstadt in time. It's better to observe for now.]

"According to what you're saying, isn't the power of Abundance omnipotent? Can the erosion of a Demon God also be treated?" Suddenly, Venti's voice rang out in the field.

"You're finally willing to show up?" Takagi looked at Venti with interest.

"You!" Barbara looked at Venti, her eyes full of resentment.

"Well, since Takagi said he has a way to repair the Holy Lyre, I thought you didn't need to feel sad anymore. And I don't think Barbatos will blame you," Venti said with a smile.

"You're not Barbatos; how do you know he won't blame me?" Barbara sighed, stood up, and hugged the Holy Lyre.

Venti gave an awkward smile, then turned to look at Takagi. "Takagi, you haven't answered my question yet."

As Venti asked, many beings deeply affected by erosion perked up, looking at Takagi with either doubt or anticipation. Unfortunately, Takagi did not give them the answer they wanted.

"That's a very good question. However, to avoid anyone saying I'm bragging again, I think it's better to let someone who has stepped onto the Path of Abundance and been affected by erosion answer." Takagi looked at Venti meaningfully.

It was as if he was asking if Venti was interested in personally verifying whether the Path of Abundance could cure erosion. Whether the power of Abundance could truly cure it, Takagi himself did not know. Naturally, he couldn't answer Venti casually. Compared to Abundance, Takagi felt that the power of the Aeon of Remembrance might be more likely to reverse erosion.

"To give such an answer..." Venti shook his head regrettably. "In that case, can you tell me specifically about the Aeon of Abundance? Earlier you only mentioned it was a god in the universe, but you didn't mention what kind of deity they are or what their purpose is."

"Well." Takagi rubbed his chin. After thinking for a moment under the gaze of the crowd, he said: "Originally, I planned to wait until everyone in Teyvat went to the universe to learn about it personally. However, even people in the universe don't all have a sufficient understanding of the Aeons. Okay, in that case, I'll briefly mention the Aeon of Abundance."

Hearing this, people immediately pricked up their ears, especially the scholars and Demon Gods.

"Yaoshi, the Aeon of Abundance, is the nurturer of all living beings, the deity of the land of bliss. They aim to make life flourish endlessly! It is an Aeon who will not refuse a plea, and cannot bear to see decay and sickness. To make all sentient beings attain what they seek—that refers to this Aeon."

"To make all sentient beings attain what they seek!" Venti rubbed his chin. "So, this Aeon of Abundance is a rather good god?"

"To make life cycle endlessly!" Diluc frowned slightly. "Could it be that this god can really grant people infinite lifespans?"

"An Aeon's view of good and evil cannot be judged by mortal standards. Whether it is good or evil, you should make your judgment after you go to the universe and fully understand them," Takagi smiled.

"That's a rather brief judgment," Venti said helplessly.

"Hearing a hundred times is not as good as seeing once," Takagi replied.

"Then... what about the Aeon of Preservation? What kind of god is that?" Suddenly, a clear voice came from the crowd. Takagi turned his head and immediately recognized who was speaking.

"This is our trainee knight from the Knights of Favonius," Jean said, quickly introducing her.

"Miss Noelle, hello. I can tell that you are a trainee knight who is good at protecting everyone," Takagi said.

"I... I'm not worthy yet. Compared to you, Lord Takagi, I'm still far behind." Noelle thought of the scene where Takagi summoned an energy shield to block Stormterror's attack, and her eyes shone with admiration.

"Hehe, as long as you keep improving, Noelle, I believe that one day you will also be able to withstand Stormterror's attacks." Takagi smiled and continued: "As for the Aeon of Preservation you want to know about, that is a god who constantly forges barriers in the universe in units of light-years—sealing, isolating, and protecting worlds that still have vitality. Because he knows that a great enemy threatening the universe is imminent, he who practices the Path of Preservation has to do this. For this reason, he created the Celestial Comet Wall, the Subspace Crystal Barrier, and the Great Attractor Base... Well, you can understand them as shields that can protect many worlds. In addition, the worshipers of the Aeon of Preservation call him the 'Amber Lord'!"

[Candace: A shield that can preserve an entire world? No, multiple worlds?!]

[Hu Tao: If this is true, wouldn't he be much stronger than the Geo Archon of Liyue!]

[Zhongli: In terms of universal rationality, that is the case.]

[Cloud Retainer: It's just talk; everything has to be seen to be believed!]

[Madame Ping: Indeed.]

[Kamisato Ayato: The ability is too exaggerated; it's hard to accept easily.]

[Takagi: That's why I hope everyone can see it for themselves.]
