Chapter 601: Su Yuan’s ancient name is actually…

After briefly understanding Su Yuan’s request, Xilonen showed an expression of complete confusion and spoke:

“To forge an Ancient Name specifically for a foreigner… this is simply unheard of!”

“Kachina, you did tell Su Yuan that forging an Ancient Name is a very complicated process and requires many conditions, right? It’s not like crafting some handmade souvenir, something you can just make because you want to…” Xilonen said to Kachina.

Kachina responded, “I did tell Su Yuan everything, but he still insisted on coming to you to forge an Ancient Name.”

“Honestly… I literally just finished crafting something for Mavuika, I’m completely exhausted, and I was just about to go home and sleep. And then this shows up…” Xilonen let out a helpless laugh.

Su Yuan also gave an awkward smile and spoke sincerely:

“I’m really sorry, Miss Xilonen. If you’re too tired, it’s totally fine if you go rest first. I’m not that urgent about it…”

“It’s fine, Su Yuan.” Xilonen waved her hand casually and continued, “Besides, judging from the current situation, there is a very high chance that forging an Ancient Name for you will fail.”

“Whether it succeeds or fails… we’ll know in a short while. If it fails, then of course there’s nothing else to talk about afterward.”

As she spoke, Xilonen set down the tools she had just cleaned up, turned back to the forging platform, and said:

“Well then, let me try!”

Kachina then asked, “By the way, Sister Xilonen, what did you forge for Lady Archon Mavuika, to tire you out so much?”

While preparing for the Ancient Name forging, Xilonen responded:

“I originally thought Chasca’s requests were already unmatched in this world, but then again… who is Mavuika the adjutant of?”

“For example, Mualani’s shark-surfboard that can glide on both water and land—honestly, that one wasn’t too difficult.”

“But Chasca’s flying great revolver did cost me quite a bit of effort. Still, all she wanted was for it to fly. So it was still acceptable…”

“But Mavuika? She actually asked me to forge her a full-featured motorcycle that can sprint on land, glide across the water, climb mountains, and fly and glide in the sky???”

“Tell me, is that something a human would request???”

“…Ah, no. That’s right. Mavuika is no longer an ordinary human. She is the Pyro Archon of Natlan!!!”

“But even so, Sister Xilonen, you still managed to forge it!” Kachina clapped, full of admiration.

“You’re the greatest smith in all of Natlan. If even you couldn’t forge it, who could?”

“Of course. I just finished forging it not long ago. Mavuika immediately took it for a test ride afterwards… By now she’s probably who-knows-where…” Xilonen sighed with a faint smile.

“But that’s good too. Mavuika has given so much for Natlan, and with the Night Warden War about to begin, letting herself relax a bit is a good thing.”

However, in the next moment, Xilonen’s expression changed entirely.

She froze, utterly stunned.

If Su Yuan had to describe this expression… it would be like:

In a championship 100-meter sprint, at his peak, Bolt gets effortlessly overtaken by a short guy who sells compressed towels.

Or Aristotle discussing philosophy with a three-year-old child, only to be rendered speechless by the child’s counter-question.

In short: pure, overwhelming shock!!!

“How is this possible…”

“The Great Spirit actually responded to my invocation… and granted permission to forge Su Yuan’s Ancient Name???”

“But Su Yuan isn’t even a Natlan native!!! He just arrived here. There shouldn’t be any heroic deeds of his recorded in the Land of the Night God!”

“Why… why would the Night God willingly bestow him an Ancient Name???”

“You see? What did I say? If you don’t try, how would you know whether you meet the conditions or not?” Su Yuan smiled.

To him, this outcome had already been within his expectations.

His very existence in Teyvat was special to begin with.

“By the way, Xilonen—since this Ancient Name will belong to me alone, could you help me communicate with the Great Spirit and let me choose the name myself?” Su Yuan said.

Even though the Ancient Name didn’t hold much practical power, it was basically the same as a title system…

So obviously, the name had to be cool.

So then… what should he call himself?

“‘Overlord’? ‘Chief’? ‘Analyst’? ‘Genius’? ‘The Su’? ‘The Yuan’? ‘Crouching Dragon’? ‘Young Phoenix’?”

“Or maybe something with a few more words… something slightly dramatic and edgy?”

“‘Seeker of Truth’? ‘Wanderer Between Worlds’? ‘Master of Reversal’? ‘Eerie Executor’?”

“Or perhaps I should take inspiration from Aether. Since he’s called the ‘Traveler’, maybe I should also pick something like ‘The Something-er’?”

“But calling myself ‘The Transmigrator’ would be way too on-the-nose. Too lowbrow.”

“In that case, what about ‘The Drifter’? A name that symbolizes drifting here from another world?”

However, Xilonen ‘s next words completely shattered Su Yuan’s imagination:

“I’m sorry, Su Yuan. The name of an Ancient Name can only be decided by the Great Spirit itself. You can’t just choose whatever you want…”

“Uh… Xilonen, could you maybe try communicating with the Great Spirit one more time? See if there’s any room for… negotiation?” Su Yuan asked.

“I mean, I am a rather special existence…”

“A cool Ancient Name is very important to me…”

“I’m really sorry, Su Yuan. The Great Spirit has already clearly responded. Your Ancient Name has been finalized. I’ll start forging it now.”

As Xilonen spoke, she picked up her forging hammer and began crafting.

Before long, accompanied by a mysterious glow, a black, feather-shaped stone—identical in style to Kachina’s Ancient Name—appeared.

Xilonen brought the stone to Su Yuan and said:

“To be honest, I don’t actually know what Ancient Name the Great Spirit granted you. That’s something you’ll have to reveal yourself.”

“Alright.” Su Yuan nodded, taking the Ancient Name from her hands.

“Then let me witness exactly what my Ancient Name is…”
