The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [272]

“A Constellation, huh…”

Jax curiously shook the bag of meteorite fragments in his hand.

In this world, Constellations represented the stars in the sky. According to Mona, every person had a Constellation tied to their destiny in the heavens. However, both Jax and Lumine, as travelers from another world, had no corresponding Constellation in this sky.

But…

During a conversation with Mona, Jax learned that while Lumine lacked a true Constellation, she possessed a so-called "Traveler's Star," a false Constellation.

Jax, on the other hand, had no Constellation at all.

Mulling this over, Jax reached into the bag and grasped a meteorite fragment.

He wanted to see if touching a fragment of a Constellation would prompt any reaction from the system he often relied on.

The moment Jax’s hand made contact with the fragment, the residual energy within began to flow into his body.

It seemed to carry the intent to put him into a deep sleep, just as it had done to others. But the energy was insufficient, leaving Jax conscious.

Even so, that trace of energy revealed something to him.

He caught a glimpse of the shared dreamscape—a towering snow-capped mountain, cold and insurmountable.

Though it was only a fleeting image, Jax saw an elderly man climbing toward the summit.

Then, the system responded.

[Contact with a Constellation fragment detected. Permission level rising.]
[Would you like to dismantle the fragment? Dismantling will grant a (False) Constellation.]
[Activating the (False) Constellation will shroud your fate.]

“Activate it. Let’s do this,” Jax said with satisfaction. “I’ve been waiting for something like this.”

[Constellations in this world are reflections of fate upon the celestial sky. Fate is not immutable, and a false Constellation is no mere facade. The reality reflected in this starry sky is ever-changing. For that reason, believe in your ability to alter all futures. Overturn every regret that might come to pass, and rewrite every scar left in the past. Your fate… is the truth hidden within the falsehood.]

[Our fates are now intertwined. This is destiny. The paths you choose to cross with others will reshape our beginnings. Yet, despite the ripples of fate’s weave, your original intent shall remain unchanged.]

[Will this world become the tapestry you most long for? Or is it, perhaps, already the one you have envisioned?]

After absorbing the fragment, a pure black interface materialized in Jax’s system.

At its center was a single radiant star, standing out in an otherwise empty void.

Jax frowned at the sight.

A lack of elemental color was understandable—after all, he didn’t possess elemental powers or a Vision. But a Constellation with only one star? That felt like a joke.

I’ve seen other people’s Constellations. They’re entire star charts based on zodiac signs! Why is mine just… a lone star?

Though displeased, Jax tapped on the star to explore further.

The moment his finger touched it, ripples spread across the interface.

From that single star, countless roots of light branched outward, transforming the dark background into a sprawling map of stars.

While no explicit prompts appeared, Jax intuitively understood: the stars branching out from the center represented the people he had met in this world.

These stars symbolized the connections he had forged, the changes—subtle or significant—that he had brought to their lives. The faint light from these connections formed the intricate constellation before him.

“This is…”

Jax could identify Lumine’s star, along with those of the Knights of Favonius and other residents of Mondstadt.

When he placed a finger on a star, he could vaguely sense the well-being of the person it represented.

For instance, Lumine’s star was faintly glowing with… amusement?

Jax fell silent and quickly moved his finger away.

I don’t know what she’s up to, but it’s probably best not to pry into my teammates’ inner thoughts…

At that moment, Lumine, standing beside Fischl, was engaged in a lively, slightly dramatic conversation. Suddenly, she sneezed.

Not only that, but she felt a strange sensation, as if someone had been watching her.

Shaking her fist angrily, Lumine muttered, “It must be the Fatui!”

With three capable individuals clearing the surrounding meteorites, the fragments near Springvale were quickly dealt with. Those who had been unconscious gradually regained their senses as the fragments were removed.

News that clearing the meteorites could awaken affected individuals began to spread across Mondstadt, helping prevent further incidents.

After the task was completed, the group received an invitation from the head maid of Dawn Winery.

Lumine had a clear impression of her. After all, she had often helped the maids with tasks like sweeping stubborn leaves or cleaning difficult areas during commissions. The maids always mentioned how strict their head maid was…

But Lumine’s opinion of her was positive. After all, the last time Diluc had paid her hush money, it was the head maid who delivered it.

The head maid indeed had a request. Due to the meteorite incident, the winery had lost contact with a shipment bound for Liyue. She hoped the adventurers could investigate along the trade route.

As one of the administrators of Mondstadt’s wealthiest winery—and the head maid of the richest man in Mondstadt, Diluc—she offered a very reasonable price. It was hard for anyone to refuse.

“We’ll take the job,” Jax agreed. “But you’re aware of the meteorite situation. If the workers encountered fragments, it might take some time for them to recover.”
