Seeing the illusory and formless 'leranke Praying in the Lake' in her hand, even though Sylutia didn't understand many things about this world, she knew this was an extrely precious and important item, probably sothing that could be considered the inheritance artifact of a faction.
By the way, she had originally planned to step onto the path of a gardener with the 'Verdant Nectar' Aspect, but now this inheritance artifact she had obtained was guiding her onto the path of 'Luminous Moon'.
This kind of test left her in a dilemma. However, now was not the ti to choose between 'Tsinghua' and 'Peking University'. What she needed to focus on now was how to leave this place first and return to the normal world.
According to the revelations in the book 'leranke Praying in the Lake', if she wanted to return, she either had to reach the Third Tier and learn the moon-attribute Aspect's [Moon Reflection Traversal thod], or she had to find an extrely rare space-ti fold rift and pass through it to return to the continent above the sea of clouds.
Advancing to the Third Tier in a short ti was simply impossible, so her only option was to find another space-ti projection fold rift. Only then could she return.
"According to the records in the book, these space-ti projection rifts are exceptionally weak. The vast majority cannot allow passage; they can only reflect so anomalies of the Shadow World, causing 'haunting'-like strange events," Sylutia analyzed, lowering her head.
"Unless a lifeform possesses the 'Alien Star' Aspect, can they easily traverse such weak space-ti rifts without being affected." Reading this, Sylutia understood why she had entered the Shadow World so easily back then.
So this was the side effect of the 'Alien Star' Aspect; she was just too proficient at traversing space-ti.
In that case, as long as she advanced again and obtained an Aspect tier, then she could rely on her [Star] talent to obtain the 'Alien Star' Aspect of the sa tier. This way, she could use a certain minute space-ti rift to traverse it and return to the Cloud Sea Continent.
The [Dew Prayer thod] and [Branch Grooming thod] she had learned before were integrated into her Fate Card and were destroyed and dissipated when facing the Grotesque Black Cat. The [Flower Blooming thod] was similar; they were all damaged.
Now, she simply didn't have the ti or resources to relearn the [Dew Prayer thod]. So, the only thing she could rely on was the [Breathing Technique]. That ant she first had to step onto the path of the 'Bloodline' Aspect, rely on this to escape, and then consider other thods to dissipate or transform the 'Bloodline' Aspect.
After clarifying her thoughts, Sylutia stood up, looked at this gray-white world, hesitated no longer, and began to focus her spirit to advance.
In her Fate Plate, the only remaining Ability Card, also the first ability she learned, [Breathing Technique Lv.3], began to operate after a long interval, greedily absorbing the faint Aspect power contained within Sylutia's blood, sending out ripples.
She felt her heartbeat becoming more and more pronounced, an intangible pulse rhythm slowly spreading.
Her blood began to circulate faster, nourishing every cell in her body, greatly increasing their vitality. At the sa ti, this Aspect power was gradually transmitted by the [Breathing Technique] to the [Slumbering Maiden] at the center of the Fate Plate.
In the image, the originally blue Cornflower began to be dyed with the bright red of blood, spreading from the edges of the petals slowly towards the stan.
Finally, the grass where the girl in the painting stood was set against a field of bright red Cornflowers, and then the entire card once again radiated with brilliance, causing it to transform.
[Slumbering Maiden] (Aspect: None) → [Girl Amidst the Scarlet Flowers] (First Tier · Bloodline)
- Effect [Discernnt Eyes Lv.3]: Originating from a special talent and physique, you can distinguish colors imperceptible to ordinary people, as well as part of the essence of things. (When you raise the tier of your Fate Card, this ability will also be enhanced accordingly.)
- Effect [Balanced Physique Lv.3]: Adjusted by the Breathing Technique, your body has gradually adapted to the flow of 'Bloodline'. Strength, perception, agility, and speed are all enhanced. (Influenced by the moonlight baptism, Balanced Physique Lv.2 → Lv.3)
So the effect of that baptism in the dream earlier was enhanced here. Sylutia roughly understood now.
At this mont, she activated her [Star] talent ability once again, transforming [Girl Amidst the Scarlet Flowers].
A teor flashed across the night sky. The scarlet Cornflowers gradually receded to the corners of the card, allowing the sky full of silver stars to appear.
[Girl Amidst the Scarlet Flowers] (First Tier · Bloodline) → [Girl Under the Starry Sky] (First Tier · Alien Star)
- Effect [Discernnt Eyes Lv.3]: Originating from a special talent and physique, you can distinguish colors imperceptible to ordinary people, as well as part of the essence of things. (When you raise the tier of your Fate Card, this ability will also be enhanced accordingly.)
- Effect [Alien Star Perception Lv.2]: Tainted by Alien Star power, your observation of all things is more insightful. You can see five colors difficult for ordinary people to perceive, discovering unknown secrets.
Ability Card: [Breathing Technique Lv.3]
Not long after, the power that had filled her body dissipated. However, compared to before the advancent, so part was still retained. Sylutia guessed she at least maintained a physique of [Balanced Physique Lv.1]. Because the enhancent to physical constitution from the Bloodline Aspect was partly permanent; even if the Aspect dissipated, so part would remain.
Trying to swing the Black Steel Short Sword in her hand, Sylutia felt she could still adapt. Now she could also begin searching for the path ho.
Having the explanations and guidance from 'leranke Praying in the Lake', she could now use [Alien Star Perception Lv.2] to distinguish which traces were space-ti rifts leading to the Cloud Sea Continent.
And so, Sylutia once again began to run and traverse through the gray-white world.
...
About half a day later, standing under a large tree, Sylutia once again saw a familiar aura between the tree branches.
That was it. Passing through there would lead back to the Cloud Sea Continent.
She leaped up, felt the rhythm within, and then closed her eyes.
Everything before her eyes began to twist and shake, just like that day. Not long after, she took a step forward and once again fell from the tree.
The grass stained with morning dew, the verdant green large tree, the azure blue sky, and the familiar mountain air at the tip of her nose filled Sylutia's heart with imnse joy.
Finally, finally she had returned to the normal world.
The unease and tension that had been suppressed in her heart all this ti were released at this mont, making her feel as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
Although these past few days she hadn't shown much panic and hadn't given up, after all, she was in a completely unfamiliar and unknown environnt. It was impossible not to feel any panic at all. It was just that reason told her panic wouldn't solve the problem, so she consciously tried not to think about those pessimistic things.
Now that she had finally escaped, the unease in her heart from before completely dissipated, making Sylutia want to jump up and shout loudly. However, the restraint in her personality made her ultimately not shout out, only transforming it into a lighthearted hum as she walked nimbly through the mountains.
She was finally back. From now on, she decided never to casually wander into the forest again.
But then her footsteps paused as she suddenly understood sothing.
Since she had once again suddenly appeared in a certain corner of the forest this ti, then back on that day...
She must have also, for so reason, traversed a space-ti rift and landed in this forest.
Well, was this finding another piece of the puzzle? But now she had many concrete clues and wasn't as anxious as before. With her mother's powerful 'Aster' characteristic, she definitely wouldn't be an unknown figure. So, using this as a basis and clue to find her own origins and background was just a matter of ti.
Co to think of it, living outside on her own seed quite good too. Recalling fragnts of mories from her childhood, she felt that wherever she went, there was a group of maids from her family following her, which sotis she really didn't like.
By the way, since her mother could rely on the empowernt of the 'Aster' talent to achieve such high accomplishnts, could she also rely on the empowernt of the 'Cornflower' talent to recreate the miraculous scenes she witnessed as a child?
Her mind, which had been wavering between 'Verdant Nectar' and 'Luminous Moon', once again leaned a bit more towards 'Verdant Nectar'.
