First Blood, the Tree and Time
Moreover, there's still a lot to do in these three days:
The Academy's arrangements include relocating the villagers of Pan Rock Village, relocating the Icefire Yin-Yang Well, relocating the Lake of Life, and relocating the Golden Tree. It also involves resolving some remaining minor issues...
These things need to be done as soon as possible.
Thinking of all the troublesome things that gave him a headache, Wu Tong couldn't help but sigh.
Ugh, when will he finally get some real time to relax?!
Sigh.
After that, he put everything out of his mind.
After washing up, Wu Tong lay down on the bed.
"Awesome!"
"But it would be even better if there was someone to warm the bed."
Wu Tong found a comfortable position to lie down and began to sigh.
Even so, since all her maids were asleep, Wu Tong didn't want to disturb their sweet dreams.
Therefore, Wu Tong's idea had to be abandoned.
After lying down for a while, Wu Tong, who really couldn't fall asleep, gradually became irritable.
The past few days of apocalyptic killings had also accumulated a lot of negative emotions in his heart.
Although Wu Tong had killed people before, he had never killed so many as this time.
Therefore, upon returning to his own territory, the quiet environment only made Wu Tong more and more irritable, and he wanted to vent the negative emotions that had accumulated in his heart as soon as possible.
The best way to vent is undoubtedly through release.
But no one is helping with this method.
"Oh, right, it seems I haven't released Busujima Saeko and the others yet. They can come and help me out."
Just as Wu Tong was becoming increasingly irritable, he suddenly remembered the three people, including Busujima Saeko, whom he had forgotten.
Wu Tong doesn't consider himself a good person.
Therefore, he didn't feel there was anything wrong with asking the three people for his help.
Having made his decision, Wu Tong naturally didn't hesitate and immediately immersed his consciousness into the World Model in his mind.
After searching for a while and finding the three people, they summoned Busujima Saeko and the other two.
The three summoned individuals— Busujima Saeko, Marikawa Shizuka Minami Rika —were slightly taken aback by the sudden change in the scene.
However, upon seeing the surrounding environment, along with Wu Tong's slightly reddened eyes and the night-covered sky outside, one would immediately notice the surroundings.
They weren't stupid; they naturally understood what was going to happen in this situation, and their faces flushed red instantly.
However, the three of them did not resist. Back in the world of Highschool of the Dead, after being saved by Wu Tong, they had already secretly fallen in love with him.
Therefore, none of the three had any objection to Wu Tong becoming their man; on the contrary, they were looking forward to what was to come.
As the saying goes, it begins with the grace of being saved, is captivated by unparalleled beauty, and ultimately remains loyal to unparalleled talent.
When everything is done with equanimity, then everything will naturally fall into place.
Seeing that the three showed no resistance and even had a hint of anticipation in their eyes, Wu Tong was naturally delighted.
Although he didn't consider himself a good person either, he summoned the trio just to indulge himself once.
But if both parties are willing, then it can be considered a two-way journey, right?
So, after figuring it out, Wu Tong took action, got out of bed, and led the three of them to wash up.
Back on the bed, a sudden, intense passion erupted.
Whether before or after his rebirth, Wu Tong's achievement of drawing the first drop of blood was thus accomplished naturally.
The pink pillow still evokes the allure of spring, the new dress fades as desire burns. The three winds revel in the joy of the paulownia tree, while the red candle remains oblivious to the rising sun.
What followed was nothing more than a fleeting moment of pleasure.

Putting aside the current romantic fortune that Wu Tong is experiencing, let's turn our attention to the other returning group members.
Star Rail World.
"We're back, Himeko."
As soon as he returned, March 7th excitedly shouted into the train.
They were teleported outside the train when they left, so when they returned, they naturally appeared in the same spot.
At that moment, navigator Himeko had just seen the group off and was about to turn and walk towards the train.
But the person she had just seen off reappeared, and seemed to say something incredible.
"Huh? You're back?"
Himeko was stunned. She had just seen these people off. How did she suddenly come back?
However, Himeko also believed that March 7th and the others wouldn't lie to her.
So, if they really went to Otherworld and came back so quickly...
Then there's only one explanation.
Time.
This was the only answer Himeko could think of.
'I never imagined that the Dimensional Chat Group in Little March could even control the time?'
What kind of powerful force is this, if it really is?
It seems Little March might have really joined an extraordinary organization this time.
As the navigator of the Star Rail Train, Himeko was naturally very aware of just how powerful the force capable of manipulating time truly was.
In the Tree Sea World, time is a realm that no one can ever touch.
Because the power of time has always been the Authority of the tree, and cannot be touched by humans.
In the study of the Imaginary Tree in the world of Honkai Impact 3rd, there is an understanding that "every flower and leaf is the present and the past they left behind in the dimension of time."
It is evident that the power of time has always been in the hands of the tree.
Within the Star Rail World, apart from the Last King, no one else can access the power of time.
Only this Aeon, born at the end of the universe and a mysterious being who came from the end of the universe in reverse time, could barely touch the Authority of time.
Even so, the revelations He sends to His followers are transformed by the power of time into a jumbled mess of murmurs.
This shows that even the Last King, Aeon born against the tides, is affected by the power of time.
It is precisely because I have a concept of how difficult it is to manipulate time.
Himeko could better understand the power of the Dimensional Chat Group that March 7th had mentioned.
(PS: My setting is that in the Imaginary Tree worldview, individual beings cannot control the power of time.)
The power of the Herrscher of Finality is related to time because the cocoon was placed on the tree and stole the tree's power, so it is not surprising that it has the power of time.
As for Istaru from the Genshin Impact World, to be honest, she's a bit too overpowered. She's not as big as Star Rail World, but she has the power of time that no one in Star Rail World can control.
Therefore, in my concept, Teyvat is a world bubble that has fallen. Since it is no longer on a tree, it is naturally not subject to the laws of the tree.
Therefore, Istaru was able to control the power of time.
P. S.: Haha, I hope I don't get betrayed by the HoYoverse.
