Chapter 520

Xiao stared at the items in Takumi's hands. After thinking it over, he decided to leave. Staying there wouldn't help, so he gestured to Takumi and disappeared on the spot. He could only rely on Takumi now.

After Xiao left, Keqing, who had been silently watching, finally spoke up.

"Takumi, what are those?"

She looked at the items in Takumi's hands with a puzzled expression.

"These are Xiao's siblings. Morax once had five Yakshas under his command. Xiao is the youngest. There were two more above him, two men and two women. However, they died due to various reasons. Now Xiao has found their last remnants of consciousness."

Takumi examined the items in his hands closely.

"Amid the fleeting life, all is forsaken. Bosacius, the leading Yaksha under Rex Lapis, wielded the power to control the Electro element. He was corrupted by the remnants of the fallen gods' grievances, eventually losing his mind. In his madness, he wandered into The Chasm. During the Battle of Khaenri'ah, even with his lost memories, he instinctively aided the Millelith in turning the tide of battle. He ultimately perished in The Chasm."

"Indarias, known as the River Carver, could control the Hydro element. However, due to the demonic contamination, she and Menogias ended up killing each other."

"Menogias, the General of the Fire Rats, was also tainted by the demon god's hatred..."

"Bonanus, known as the Heart Ape General..."

"And finally, Xiao, the Golden Winged King, also known as the Conqueror of Demons. He is the only Yaksha who survived and, perhaps, the loneliest among them."

Takumi sighed deeply as he looked at the items. Hearing this, Keqing took a deep breath. She had heard stories of the Yakshas but seeing their remnants made her heart ache.

"Can they be saved?" she asked with genuine concern.

Takumi nodded confidently.

"Yes, it will take some time, but I can do it. Keqing, I need you to handle things here. It will take time to bring them back. After all, only a faint trace of consciousness remains. If Xiao had come a few days later, it might have been too late."

Keqing nodded firmly.

"Understood. Go ahead, I'll take care of everything here."

She didn't mind handling the duties at the General Affairs Department, knowing Takumi had a crucial task ahead.

With her agreement, Takumi nodded back. He then opened a spatial portal and returned to his manor. He placed the items on the table and couldn't help but smile wryly.

There was a purple stone with various elemental attributes—this was Bosacius. A tough, uncut conch represented Indarias. A piece of mouse skin was Menogias. Lastly, a plain-looking yellow stone belonged to Bonanus.

Takumi marveled at Xiao's luck in finding these remnants. Without hesitation, he began activating the Herrscher of Consciousness' power to stabilize the fragile consciousness within.

As Takumi channeled his power, many people felt it. Xiao, who had returned to Wangshu Inn, turned his gaze toward Takumi's direction, his heart filled with hope and anxiety.

"Will I really see them again?" Xiao's heart wavered. He had not even informed Morax about his discovery, choosing instead to go straight to Takumi. Now, he could only hope this decision wasn't a mistake.

Elsewhere, Zhongli and Guizhong, sensing Takumi's sudden surge of power, were also puzzled. Zhongli, in particular, was curious.

"What is going on? Why is he doing something all of a sudden?"

He focused his senses and, upon seeing the items in front of Takumi and recognizing the familiar auras, Zhongli's expression changed.

"What's wrong?" Guizhong asked, noticing his reaction.

"I didn't expect it to be them!" Zhongli's surprise slowly shifted to joy. Xiao had actually found them. It was undeniably good news. He even started to wonder if perhaps other fallen Adepti could also be resurrected—like the Bronze Sparrow or the Moving Sky. Perhaps it was worth looking into.

However, Zhongli decided to wait and see if Takumi could truly revive those people before pursuing this idea.

Meanwhile, Ningguang, from Liyue Harbor, also sensed the energy radiating from Guiliyuan. She furrowed her brows.

"Nuwa, did something happen in Guiliyuan? Is this Takumi's doing? What is he up to?"

Nuwa, through the mobile device, quickly responded.

[I'm not sure! It seems to be related to the Conqueror of Demons.]

After saying this, Nuwa fell silent. Ningguang raised an eyebrow.

"Something to do with Xiao?" she mused. After thinking for a while, she decided to check it out that evening.

On Yujing Terrace, Granny Ping also gazed in the direction of Guiliyuan.

"A familiar aura... Are you coming back too?"

Beyond Takumi's energy, Granny Ping also felt the steadily recovering auras. She couldn't help but smile warmly. Liyue was truly getting better and better. Old friends long gone were finding their way back. Rex Lapis had indeed chosen wisely.

It took Takumi an entire day to fully stabilize the consciousnesses. As he observed the now calm items, he nodded in satisfaction.

"The next step is treatment... but I'll start tomorrow."

The first and most difficult step was complete, but the process had taken a toll on him. Handling four fragile consciousnesses at once was no easy task. He decided to rest for the night and continue the restoration process the next day. From then on, he would focus on rebuilding their souls, bringing them one step closer to resurrection.
