Explorer of Teyvat

"If you want to know something, just ask, I won't hide it anymore."

Zhong Li looked at Wang Daoyi in front of him as if he were looking at his grown-up child.

When a child says he wants to protect his father, that is when the father becomes truly old.

Although the emperor's strength would not show any signs of aging, the moment Wang Dao said he wanted to protect him,

There is no doubt that the emperor relented.

For my youngest and most accomplished dependent,

Although the other party was already out of his control, the emperor still relented.

He was finally willing to open his heart to Wang Daoyi.

One old and one young,

The two gods looked at each other and said nothing for a long time.

Only the dazed Guoba turned over in Zhongli's arms, then pushed Zhongli's head, gesturing for Zhongli to continue scratching it.

It was probably the movement of the rice cooker that broke the eye contact between the two gods.

The originally quiet air began to circulate again,

The breeze that had stopped began to blow again.

"What is your plan?" Wang Daoyi asked softly.

"It's very simple. If the Ice Queen is willing to be a pawn, then let her go. If Gao Tian shows any weakness, then I will take action."

Zhongli no longer had the gentle temperament of a guest at the Rebirth Hall, and the image of endless killing appeared behind him.

This god never gave up his power,

His apparent gentleness was simply a sign of lasting peace.

As long as he wants, he can transform back into the terrifying god during the Demon God War at any time.

"The sky has taken away too many things, and He has owed too many debts. In the end, Yaksha, Immortal, and there are too many. The passing of each of them leaves an inscription on the rock like a sharp knife. mark."

Zhongli raised his head slightly, his endless killing intent rising into the sky, but it was firmly sealed in this small courtyard.

"Humans are creatures with emotions, and God's emotions are richer than those of humans. Emotions, wills, dreams, desires, these seemingly illusory things are all harvested by the sky."

Zhongli's lips and teeth moved slightly, his murderous aura subdued slightly, and he looked at Wang Daoyi: "Whether they are humans or gods, they are all fuel for the sky."

Wang Daoyi's heart trembled slightly. Even though he had unparalleled fighting power, even though he had wisdom in his heart, and even though he had a lot of guesses, he still felt a little chilly at this moment.

People are fuel, Wang Daoyi had guessed this a long time ago.

Teyvat was originally a world of dragons.

The original came here, defeated the dragon, then transformed the world, and finally created humans.

Even the most important law of Teyvat was finally established,

[The devil always loves people]

After doing so many things, it’s definitely not just for fun.

Any mature individual has a purpose in everything he does.

This purpose may be simple profit, or it may be a dream without profit.

But no matter what, he must have this purpose.

The more complex something is, the more it needs a purpose to support it.

The movement of the original throne, not to mention complicated, can also be said to be earth-shattering.

Such actions build such a beautiful world for human life.

He must also need to reap greater benefits from mankind.

And what benefits do humans have that are worthy of the careful planning of such a great being?

Is it the physical body?

It is unlikely. Although the human body has many mysteries, the dragon body, the indigenous people of Teyvat, is more powerful and adaptable, and has greater value than the human body.

Is it intelligence?

It is somewhat possible that human intelligence is indeed higher than that of most beast species, but if compared with the aboriginal dragon species, they are only evenly matched.

Apart from the body and intelligence, what else can be called interests?

That's something even more illusory.

Dreams, emotions, will, desires, all the powers of the mind.

Wang Daoyi never underestimates the power of idealism.

The power of the mind is always an extremely powerful force.

This idea became even clearer after coming into contact with Jinren Siyan.

Outside the world, the power of the soul is part of the power to fulfill one's destiny.

By coordinating the mind with practical actions, you can activate your destiny and gain strength.

But now, Zhongli has made it clear that humans and gods are all part of Sky Harvest.

Obviously, Teyvat is a very large breeding farm.

Of course, in the past, if humans touched taboos again and again, the sky would be harvested again and again.

As time goes by, the humans of Teyvat become more and more powerful, and demon gods are born in the world.

The sky's control over Teyvat is getting weaker and weaker.

Probably the Throne War left irreparable trauma to the original.

The original fell silent, leaving the maintainers to continue to maintain this 'breeding farm'.

Of course, the power of the maintainer is not as good as the original, so the sky instigated a war between demons and gods.

Using the only seven places in the world as a lure, let the demons kill each other.

Of course, this is a very crude method,

But no big deal.

As long as there is a demon who can't help but take action, everything will be easier to handle after that.

The underlying rules of Teyvat,

[The devil always loves people]

If a demon takes action, it will inevitably harm the people of other demons.

You have hurt my people, and I will definitely take revenge.

In this way, even the demon gods who look down on those seven positions will be involved in the war.

And once the war starts, it is not so easy to escape.

The cost of escaping from war may be greater than that of participating in it.

The Salt Demon God Heulia proved this with her life.

The demon gods who participated in the war either died or became stronger as they fought.

The demon who chooses to escape must either escape from the Teyvat continent and go to the dark sea.

Or it will be crushed under the great trend of Huanghuang.

Even if he is as strong as Morax, he cannot protect his friends in this situation.

The Demon of Dust has fallen.

The Kitchen God contributed his power to the land of Liyue.

Countless Yaksha Immortals died.

For his own benefit, Sky promoted this horrific war without hesitation.

"So, if Sky can't even level the Ice Queen's rebel flag, it means that she is extremely weak. That's when it's time to resist."

The murderous aura in Zhongli's body completely calmed down, and he became the gentle guest of the Palace of Death again.

"So, you gave the Heart of God to the Fools just to promote the Ice Queen's rebellion?" Wang Daoyi asked.

Zhongli shook his head: "That's not entirely true. The main thing is that as I said before, I need the people of Liyue to get used to my absence."

Zhongli was really prepared to die.

If he fails to resist Sky by then, He will inevitably fall. Instead of waiting for the people of Liyue to grieve at that time, it is better to let everyone get used to it in advance.

"Facts have also proved that without me, although there are some ups and downs, Qixing still holds on."

Zhongli had a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.

Zhongli was very satisfied with Tianquan Ningguang and the other seven stars.

They completed the test of the gods and proved that they were capable enough to lead Liyue forward.

Wang Daoyi put down the teacup: "It's just this generation."

Human beings are fickle, and the royal way is clear again and again.

If there are no special circumstances, in just a hundred years, the majesty left by Emperor Yanwang will be forgotten by people.

Then in a hundred years, people will question the former emperor.

In another hundred years, people will completely overthrow the emperor.

This is humankind, a race that always grows up in doubt.

"It doesn't matter. I was prepared to be abandoned when I faked my death."

There was a hint of memory in Zhongli's eyes,

"I have protected Liyue for long enough, just like I protect the children who have grown up at home. It's time for them to work hard on their own. Even if they fail in the end and resent me as a parent, so what."

Wang Daoyi fell silent.

Yeah, so what?

[The devil always loves people, but the devil never cares about people's responses. 】

Just like the lonely king of the high tower, doesn’t he love his people?

No, He loves deeply, and He wants to protect His people to the death.

But does He care about the feelings of His people?

Mostly they don't care.

Under the strong wind, He could not hear any words. He could only see the people bending under His mighty power.

But Zhongli saw it more clearly. He knew that the people of Liyue really loved him.

That's why he had to let go in advance.

Even if the final result is that the people of Liyue resent him, he doesn't care at all.

How could a father who loves his children care about his children's resentment?

He only forgives.

There was another silence.

Wang Daoyi changed the subject: "Then what are the plans of the other gods? Are they also waiting?"

"I don't know much about that guy Barbatos. He once came into contact with [Thousand Winds of Time]. You must have discovered that although he may not directly resist the sky, he is definitely not with the sky. In this, trust Him.”

"The one from Dao Wife, although he didn't communicate with us much after you woke him up, he must have some ideas. As far as I know, Zhi Dong sent people to Dao Wife again, and it seemed that he wanted to exchange the gods again. Heart."

"As for Sumeru, you should know better than me. I can't say the power of the World Tree. Hehe, things engraved on the rock cannot be wiped off and re-engraved over and over again."

"The one from Fontaine, his current situation is very special. I don't quite understand the methods left behind by the previous Water God. If you have time to go to Fontaine, you can help. The sword of the dragon-slaying boy has never been born. Rusty, the water god... is very pitiful."

"That guy from Nata... don't think of him as a brainless warrior. Sometimes, the more conspicuous his behavior is, the more likely it is to cover up. Everyone thinks that he is a war maniac and a violent maniac. Maybe he is a comparison. Everyone is attentive."

"As for the Winter Solstice, He has made it very clear. The rebel flag already represents everything."

The emperor mentioned all the seven consuls in one breath.

Finally, he hesitated and continued: "As for the dark sea, there is nothing worth paying attention to. The losers have lost their blood, but it is an abyss that requires special attention."

Wang Daoyi was shocked and quickly asked: "What exactly is the abyss?"

Before Zhongli could answer, Wang Daoyi told Zhongli everything he had seen in the Dreamland of the Sky.

The mysterious hanging device, the mysterious existence suspected of being the last king of Camria, and the [Loom of Destiny] Kalibel.

After listening to what Wang Daoyi said, Zhongli's expression did not change. It seemed that he understood all these things.

"What do you think the abyss is?" He did not answer, but asked Wang Daoyi.

Wang Daoyi frowned slightly and began to think.

Regarding the abyss, Wang Daoyi thought he understood it very well at first.

Abyss Mage, Abyss Chanter, and Abyss Prince.

Isn't it just a special force on Teyvat?

But as the strength becomes stronger and the knowledge grows.

Wang Daoyi also gradually paid more and more attention to the abyss.

"The Abyss is a special space attached to Teyvat?" Wang Daoyi said hesitantly.

Zhongli nodded slightly: "I guessed it somewhat correctly."

Wang Daoyi's eyes lit up and he looked at Zhongli, waiting for him to continue speaking.

Zhongli did fulfill his promise just now, without any concealment, and said directly: "In the most ancient times, the world was still full of wilderness elements. At that time, the master of Teyvat was still a dragon. At that time, there was no concept of an abyss.

Even after the first throne battle, the abyss still does not exist.

It was not until much later that the Abyss began to appear in Teyvat. "

Wang Dao's eyes flashed slightly: "The power brought by [Dragon King] from outside the world."

Zhongli nodded: "It seems that you have understood something. Those powers from outside the world were not eliminated after the failure of the [Dragon King], or in other words, they could no longer be eliminated. So, under the power of the sky, those powers The power is sealed or channeled into the outer space of Teyvat.”

"Outer space?" Wang Daoyi heard another new word.

"Have you ever seen Ms. Alice repair the original shell? The outer space is the layer of space between the continent of Teyvat and the original shell." Zhongli explained.

Wang Daoyi frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.

If the Abyss is located in outer space, doesn’t that mean that the Abyss is also protected by the primordial shell?

Regarding this doubt, Zhongli gave the answer before Wang Dao asked: "The abyss has become a part of Teyvat, and the original shell cannot peel it off Teyvat."

"Are those twisted monsters behind the rift in the world coming from the abyss?" Wang Daoyi asked again.

The rift in the world appears because the original shell is damaged. If the abyss is located within the original shell, then the monsters on the opposite side of the rift are not from the abyss.

Zhongli nodded: "The monsters outside the world rift that Ms. Alice is dealing with are indeed not from the abyss, but there is some connection. You know the beast realm, right?"

"I know, Gold Reindot's creation."

"The void where those twisted monsters are located is probably similar to the beast realm. It is an outer space that is worse than the abyss. They are not tightly integrated with Teyvat like the abyss, so they are still resisted by the original shell. , only when the outer shell is damaged or weak can they dissolve the space and enter Teyvat."

The king's way is clear, and now it is understood.

For the original shell, the Abyss is also one of its own, so the people in the Abyss can use the portal at will in Teyvat.

But those Beast Realm hounds or twisted monsters are pure enemies, so they are blocked by the original shell.

Only when the original shell is broken or weak can these monsters dissolve the space and enter Teyvat.

However, the relationship between these monsters and the abyss cannot be viewed so simply.

If there is an invasion of the abyss, Wang Dao has no doubt that the abyss can drive these twisted monsters.

In the original pitch-black beast tide, there were a large number of beast-level monsters surging in it.

These monsters with the power of [dissolution] are the best vanguard soldiers.

"I see, I probably understand." Wang Daoyi nodded slightly, recorded this information in his heart, and then continued to ask, "Then, what is the situation in False Heaven?"

The False Heaven was the first high-level mysterious area that Wang Dao came into contact with after coming to this world.

Under Zhongli's guidance, he realized his zodiac sign and obtained the Eye of the Rock God.

Although Wang Daoyi doesn't use the Eye of God very much now, he still keeps it.

"The False Heaven is the place where the original shell reflects the beings of Teyvat. He maps the fate of all the beings in Teyvat on the life throne. As long as he does not ascend to the gods, the False Heaven can continuously harvest the life seats of Teyvat. The power of the sky is needed to harvest all sentient beings."

"What is the Eye of God?"

"What we cannot deny is that no matter whether it is a human being or any intelligent life, there are always individuals whose talents far exceed those of the same kind. The Eye of God is a tool, a tool used to guide the holder to the Sky Island."

"What will happen if you go to Sky Island?"

"I don't know either, but no one has been there for a long, long time. Barbatos once helped Vanessa land on Sky Island, but since then, there has been no news about Vanessa."

Zhong Li said, and reminded him: "Remember the old dean? That guy was also qualified to go to Sky Island, but he refused. He had received a little favor from [The Ruler of Time], and he probably knew how to go to Sky Island. There is no good outcome, so he would rather die of old age in this world.”

Of course Wang Daoyi remembers the old dean, a powerful being who lit up six life stars, who was also blessed by time, an old antique who survived the Demon God War.

"So, people who hold the Eye of God have the qualifications to become gods and can be called [original gods]. Is this also a conspiracy?" Wang Daoyi was a little shocked.

Wang Dao is not the only one to know what [Original God] said. This is a statement recognized by all the rulers of Teyvat.

"Of course it's not a conspiracy. Aren't you the best answer? With the Eye of the Rock God, wouldn't you have accomplished the great deeds of the gods?" Zhong Li glanced at Wang Daoyi with a smile.

"but I……"

"You want to say that you became a god because of Ahmar's legacy, right? But have you ever thought about whether you can bear Ahmar's legacy if you don't have the qualifications for the Eye of the Rock God?"

Wang Daoyi frowned slightly, still a little confused.

Zhongli continued softly: "Elemental power is corrosive. The Eye of God helps you block the erosion and also gives you the ability to use elemental power. Elemental power is the basis for becoming a god, so those who hold the Eye of God He is the [Original God] who is qualified to become a god."

This makes it clear enough.

The Eye of God is nothing, the elemental power brought by the Eye of God is the foundation.
