[Amber: What a big ball! Did Acting Grand Master Jean and the others really reach beyond Teyvat?]
[Mona: Oh my goodness, such beautiful scenery... is this the starry sky?]
[Azar: Interesting insights, truly rare knowledge. It would be wonderful if I could personally experience this starry sky.]
[Furina: Did they really cross worlds? Does Takagi's Astral Express really have the function of crossing worlds?]
[Neuvillette: There should be no place on the Teyvat continent that matches the scene shown in the live broadcast. Takagi and the others should have already crossed worlds.]
[Furina: How could this be? Is Path power also real, and are the Aeons also real?!]
[Scaramouche: They can actually cross worlds!]
[Yae Miko: Do you feel like you've been slapped in the face, Kunikuzushi?]
[Scaramouche: Don't call me by that name! Be careful or I'll kill you!]
[Yae Miko: You're really short-tempered. Speaking of which, since it has been confirmed that Takagi can cross worlds, then the Path power should also be real, right?]
[Scaramouche: That's not necessarily true.]
[Yae Miko: You're really stubborn.]
When everyone saw Yae Miko's message, their hearts were filled with excitement—especially the people of Mondstadt. After all, most of the people who went with Takagi this time were from their city. Thinking that Jean, Barbara, and the others might embark on the Path described by Takagi, the Knights of Favonius were looking forward to it. Of course, where there is anticipation, there will also be those who are not. Especially La Signora of the Fatui, but now, she had no way to do anything to Jean and the others. She could only watch the live broadcast and sulk.
Astral Express.
[Host has brought the Teyvat people to the Star Rail Universe. Would you like to activate the Blessing?]
[After activating the Blessing, the possibility of the Teyvat people led by the Host stepping onto a Path will be enhanced, and the Blessing will last for a certain period.]
'Activate.' Takagi silently chanted in his heart, and immediately, a fluctuation that ordinary people couldn't detect spread out from his body, quickly enveloping Lumine, Paimon, Jean, Klee, and Barbara.
'This should be effective now. I hope at least one person can step onto a Path. Otherwise, it would all be for nothing,' Takagi thought to himself.
"It's truly unbelievable; that planet covered in ice and snow is actually an entire world. Could it be that the Teyvat continent also exists on such a planet?" Barbara exclaimed.
"Even though I had somewhat accepted the fact that the train could travel through worlds before coming, when this moment truly arrived, I still felt very emotional," Jean said.
"On a planet covered in ice and snow like this, is there really life?" Lumine slightly furrowed her brow and murmured.
"There should be, right? Otherwise, this trip would be too boring," Paimon said.
"Brother Takagi, are we going to that ice planet later?" Klee tugged at Takagi's sleeve and asked.
"That's right." Takagi nodded slightly, looking at Paimon. "I said before, this planet has a city named Belobog. So, you don't have to worry about not seeing people, Paimon."
"Hehehe, I was just saying it," Paimon said sheepishly.
"It's okay. Instead of this, let's go down. First, let's go to the Belobog Underworld," Takagi said.
When the Astral Express traveled from Belobog to the Teyvat continent, the train had already automatically recorded the coordinates of the Underworld and set up a teleportation point. Therefore, he could actually arrive directly there. The reason he allowed the train to go to the current default location was to let Jean, Barbara, and the other travelers witness space with their own eyes. Now that the goal had been achieved, there was no need to stay.
The next moment, the Astral Express passed through a wormhole and arrived at the Belobog Underworld.
...
"Everyone, welcome to Belobog. Due to very special reasons, Belobog is divided into the Overworld and the Underworld. First, let's start our tour from the Underworld." After Takagi put the train into his spatial storage, he clapped his hands and spoke to the group.
Seeing the scenery of a different world for the first time, everyone, whether it was Jean and the others or those watching through Paimon's live stream, had curious expressions.
"The air here smells terrible. And there's no one here either. Takagi, are you sure you came to the right place?" Paimon waved her hand in front of her nose, voicing the thoughts of Lumine, Barbara, and the others.
"This is an abandoned town; it's normal for there to be no people. Besides, I can't just land the train in a place with a lot of people, right? Come with me; I'll take you to where there are people." Takagi beckoned to everyone and stepped forward. However, as soon as he took a step, he raised an eyebrow and looked to the side.
"Takagi, what's wrong?" Lumine asked.
Takagi: "An Outworld Blaze is coming."
Klee: "What is an Outworld Blaze, Brother Takagi?"
Takagi: "Well, Klee, you can think of it as the Belobog version of a Hilichurl Mitachurl."
As Takagi was speaking, an Outworld Blaze, slightly taller than a Mitachurl and wreathed in flames, appeared within everyone's line of sight. When Jean saw this monster, her brows instantly furrowed. Her sensitive nose told her that the creature before them was definitely not on the level of a Hilichurl.
"A Hilichurl? Seems like this Outworld Blaze isn't a big deal after all. Seriously, you scared me. Lumine, go deal with it," Paimon waved her hand grandly.
When Lumine heard this, her face darkened. She didn't want to casually risk fighting unknown creatures in an unfamiliar world.
"Let Lumine fight the Fragmentum creatures? Seems like a good plan," Takagi said.
Lumine: "Are you serious, Takagi?"
Takagi smiled and nodded: "I'm very serious, Lumine. I have already activated the Blessing that can increase your chances of stepping onto a Path. Although doing nothing also has a certain chance, fighting will make the probability higher. So, I suggest you let go and try fighting this Outworld Blaze from the Fragmentum. Additionally, you can help the Teyvat people understand the power of Belobog's monsters and give everyone a general understanding of the ecosystem here."
"I see, is it for me to step onto a Path?" Lumine nodded slightly. "But isn't your last sentence your real purpose, Takagi?"
"Just tell me if you want to step onto a Path or not, Traveler," Takagi smiled.
Lumine: "Are you sure there's no danger?"
Takagi: "With me here, I guarantee you won't be in mortal danger."
Lumine: "Alright then, put a shield on me, and I'll give it a try."
Takagi: "Putting a shield on right from the start wouldn't be training. You need to try using your own power first."
Lumine: "Tsk, fine, I'll trust you just this once."
Although Lumine was a bit resentful about not getting a shield, the Path power held considerable allure for her. With Takagi's encouragement, she ultimately drew her Dull Blade and stepped toward the Outworld Blaze.
[Dehya: Here it comes! Finally, we can see the battle between Teyvat people and monsters from another world.]
[Candace: Since Lumine is an outsider, strictly speaking, this battle cannot be considered a battle between Teyvat people and another world's monsters.]
[Dehya: Anyway, the Traveler came out from Teyvat this time and can also use its elemental power, so let's just consider it that way, hehe.]
[Alhaitham: The combat data of monsters from another universe is truly an excellent subject.]
[Azar: It's just a monster of the Hilichurl level; I don't think there's much data worth collecting.]
[Dori: The bets are open! Traveler vs. Outworld Blaze! Everyone, place your bets!]
[Arataki Itto: Open bets? Then I'm definitely betting on the Traveler! Since the Outworld Blaze is similar to a Hilichurl, it can't be that amazing.]
[Amber: I've seen the Traveler's strength. I believe in her, hehe.]
[Zhongli: A Hilichurl from the stars... is it really that simple?]
[Hu Tao: Um, Traveler, are you really not going to place an order at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor right now? There's a discount!]
