Lumine had also read web novels.
Although she could travel across worlds, the power she obtained came entirely from her own hard work.
Just a moment ago, Jiang Chen had told her he came from an ordinary world.
Yet, in the blink of an eye, he tells her she possesses Karna's Spirit Graph?
Good grief, what kind of system-protagonist novel is this?
Lumine was instantly dumbfounded.
She looked at Jiang Chen with a sudden, strange gaze.
"Do you have a System?"
Hearing Lumine's words, the corners of Jiang Chen's mouth curved upward slightly.
He knew Lumine would ask that.
"Nope!"
"Perhaps this is just my ability?"
"Or maybe it's a gift from Mother Earth."
Hearing this, Lumine looked at Jiang Chen suspiciously.
After a long while, she finally had a flash of insight.
"I get it!"
"The System must not allow you to talk about it, right?"
"I've read the novels, I understand."
Makes total sense.
She knew why Jiang Chen was denying it.
......
"I really don't have a System."
His setup didn't really count as a System either.
It didn't even give out quests.
Nor did it mention any rewards.
Things were just shoved straight into him.
Rather than calling it a System, Jiang Chen preferred to believe it was a gift from Mother Earth.
Lumine nodded.
She didn't press the matter further.
"What are you two talking about?"
"How come I don't get it at all?"
"What System?"
Paimon, standing to the side, was completely bewildered.
Why were these two talking about things she couldn't understand?
"Children shouldn't poke their noses into adult business!"
Jiang Chen shot Paimon a heavy side-eye.
Being too curious will only get you killed.
Lumine also agreed with Jiang Chen's remark.
Indeed, kids shouldn't pry into adult matters.
Having understood Jiang Chen's situation, she declared that she was going to ride his coattails.
After all, she was well aware of how strong Karna was.
Even though she didn't know if Jiang Chen was Karna in his prime.
If the Noble Phantasm he possessed were fully unleashed, it would probably be able to defeat 99% of the people in this world.
That was an anti-army, anti-country grade Noble Phantasm, after all.
There were even anti-divine ones.
Especially the anti-divine Noble Phantasm.
Using it against the deities of the Seven Nations in this world was simply absurd.
Therefore, riding his coattails!
She simply had to ride his coattails.
Whenever she encountered an invincible enemy in the future, she would just send Jiang Chen in.
However, Jiang Chen had no idea what Lumine was thinking at the moment.
The two left Starfall Lake and began heading toward Whispering Woods, with Paimon acting as their guide.
Mondstadt in reality was quite large.
Whispering Woods was also a sprawling forest.
And it harbored quite a few dangers within.
Hilichurls, Slimes, and the like were the indigenous residents of this forest.
Along with things like wild boars.
It wasn't long before Jiang Chen and Lumine encountered a group of Hilichurls blocking their path.
Just like the elevated danger spots in daily commissions.
They had built a few high platforms right here.
Jiang Chen's eyesight was exceptionally good.
Having suffered from mild myopia and astigmatism in the past, all his vision issues had been cured after crossing over into this world.
Seeing the Hilichurls not far ahead of them, Jiang Chen's eyes instantly lit up.
The next moment, Vasavi Shakti materialized in Jiang Chen's hand.
"O Brahmā, cover the earth!"
Lumine, watching Jiang Chen's maneuver, was instantly filled with question marks.
Was that really necessary?
She watched as Jiang Chen produced the Noble Phantasm and directly released its true name.
Flames wrapped around the spear shaft, and Jiang Chen hurled it directly.
The spear transformed into a beam of light that blasted straight toward the Hilichurls.
Lumine was dumbfounded.
"Boom!"
An explosion echoed, and the area where the Hilichurls stood was swallowed by a blaze.
They didn't even have time to let out a scream before they were reduced to ashes.
"6!"
She didn't know what to say about Jiang Chen using a sledgehammer to crack a nut like this.
Good grief, opening with an ultimate move the moment he sees monsters, huh?
"Testing out its power!"
"Feels pretty good."
Jiang Chen hadn't released it at full power just now.
After all, there was no need.
If he had released it at full power, the entire forest would have been turned into a sea of fire; it wouldn't just be this minor bit of damage.
What he had done right now was more than enough.
Jiang Chen was quite satisfied with the power.
Especially after sensing the magical energy within his own body.
Jiang Chen felt even more elated inside.
By acquiring Karna's Spirit Graph, Jiang Chen had also acquired his magical energy.
Yet, because this was reality, the amount of magical energy Jiang Chen obtained was immense.
On top of that, he also gained Divinity.
This Divinity wasn't just something that buffed stats like in a game.
It was a tangible enhancement to every single attribute.
Possessing Divinity meant that Jiang Chen was a god in Teyvat!
Thus, his body contained unimaginably terrifying power.
Limitless, the kind that could never be exhausted.
In other words, Jiang Chen was no weakling.
Some people acquire great power, only to run out of steam after using it a couple of times?
That simply didn't exist.
Such an issue didn't exist here with Jiang Chen.
And that made Jiang Chen feel extremely comfortable.
"So fierce!"
Paimon was terrified out of her wits watching this scene.
She immediately hid behind Lumine.
She never expected the person in front of her to be so terrifying.
He just attacked and wiped out the Hilichurls on sight!
Simply horrifying.
Jiang Chen didn't pay any mind to Paimon's reaction.
Little thing, she's just a mascot after all.
What malicious intentions could she possibly have?
Give her a meal, and she'd probably stop being scared in no time.
Jiang Chen raised his hand, and the weapon he had thrown returned to his grasp.
Jiang Chen was thoroughly satisfied with this weapon.
It could be used as a two-handed sword, as a spear, or even thrown like an arrow.
When summoned, Karna had to use weapons according to his class.
But Jiang Chen had no such restrictions.
He could use this weapon however he pleased.
After disposing of a few Hilichurls and putting away the weapon, the trio continued on their way.
However, they hadn't walked far before fierce gales whipped up across the sky.
Lumine felt the Anemo element in the air and instinctively looked up.
Then, she saw a giant dragon flying overhead.
At the sight of that dragon, Lumine's eyes widened.
"This!!"
A dragon?
Jiang Chen also spotted Dvalin.
The plot was just beginning, which meant Lumine was about to fight it and go through a series of story events?
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen suddenly felt that he could skip the plot entirely.
"Let's go!"
"After it."
With that, Jiang Chen quickened his pace and strode forward.
At the same time, Jiang Chen retrieved his weapon once more.
Seeing Jiang Chen's action, Lumine thoughtfully drew her own weapon as well.
An ordinary one-handed sword.
With her weapon in hand, she hurried to catch up.
"Wait for me!"
Seeing both of them running off, Paimon hurriedly followed.
The three of them arrived one after another in the depths of Whispering Woods.
Then, Jiang Chen and Lumine saw a green-haired youth dressed in white tights conversing with the dragon.
However, the moment the three of them drew near, the youth noticed them.
He seemed to be avoiding the three of them, vanishing from the spot in the blink of an eye.
Meanwhile, the giant dragon cast a murderous gaze upon Jiang Chen, Lumine, and their group.
Clearly, it was extremely displeased at being disturbed.
