Explorer of Teyvat

On the twenty-fifth day of advent,

Out on the sea, on an isolated island,

As soon as Wang Daoyi fell from the sky, the shell fragments under his feet made a clicking sound.

A few days ago, I handed Yaojun over to Guishu,

After having a farewell banquet with everyone from the Liyue God Department, Wang Daoyi set off to the outer sea.

The outer sea at this time was very different from that of later generations.

Although there were also marine beasts in the open sea in later generations, they were only minor problems and were not a cause for concern.

But now, Wang Daoyi has encountered no fewer than ten ancient sea beasts that are not weaker than immortal gods.

There are also some remnants of the demon god who were defeated but still unwilling to give up, and they also gathered in the outer sea.

These monsters and ghosts greatly delayed Wang Daoyi's progress.

Basically, if you fly over a hundred miles of sea, you have to fight with the local sea overlord.

Yes, let's have a fight,

It's not that Wangdao can't kill them all,

It's just that these wild ancient beasts are really cunning,

Once they find that they can't be beaten, they will immediately dive into the deep sea and even cut off their tails to survive.

After all, Wang Daoyi only brought the authority of [Exploration], and he could not divide the entire sea area like he did with Lei Movie when he dealt with the evil god in the dark sea.

At the end of the fight, Wang Daoyi didn't bother to pay attention to these ancient beasts. He hid if he could, and took a detour if he couldn't.

At least taking a detour saves more time than fighting.

However, even so, Wang Daoyi still found this ancient island in the past few days.

This is a small island,

There are no trees on the island, but there are luxuriant grasses, and the scenery looks good.

Of course, what attracted Wang Daoyi was not these scenery, but the altar in the center of the island.

The altar is not big, only five feet square at most.

The complicated inscriptions engraved on the altar were even more damaged by the sea wind, and their appearance was no longer visible.

If ordinary people came here, they would probably think that this place is a relic of ancient sacrifices.

But in Wang Dao's eyes, these are different.

From Wang Dao's perspective, this small altar is a gate.

And behind the gate is a deep spiral.

Abyss Gate·Abyss Spiral.

Ancient ancestors excavated huge spiral buildings underground.

In this way, we seek answers from the dark side of the world.

The Deep Spiral is a legacy of our ancestors.

Through here, you can go to the dark side of the world, which is the goal of Wang Daoyi's trip, the abyss.

"Let me see how to use this thing."

Walking to the edge of the altar, Wang Dao began to observe carefully.

He knew there was a door here, but it was hard to say how to open it.

Time passes little by little,

The light in Wang Dao's eyes became brighter and brighter,

Finally, he stretched out his hand and touched it lightly on the altar.

The originally blurry and broken inscription lit up slightly, and a ray of light spread out on the altar.

A portal was opened like this.

"I just said, if we dig a spiral depth here, I'm afraid it won't be digging into the deep sea. It turns out to be a teleportation device."

Wang Daoyi chuckled twice, and then looked at the portal.

The faint blue light flickers slightly, and the portal looks a bit like an earth vein channel.

This should be a fixed-point teleportation gate that specifically anchors an area for teleportation.

Safe, but inflexible.

"Let me see what is different in the abyss of this era."

Wang Dao didn't hesitate at all, let alone worry about his own safety, and plunged into the portal.

The portal fluctuated slightly, and Wang Daoyi's figure disappeared, leaving only the portal still standing here.

Yes, Wang Daoyi opened it, but he didn't leave behind to close the door.

…

Where the abyss echoes,

Above the grave of civilization,

This is a huge underground ancient capital built by an ancient civilization that has long since perished.

In ancient times, people either wanted to explore more profound secrets, maybe explore the authority belonging to the sky, or maybe for some selfish desires, but the real purpose is unknown.

Its structure is divided into the "Deep Corridor" that connects the world and the "Abyss-Moon Spiral" that leads to the unknown, so it is collectively called the "Deep Spiral".

Wang Daoyi’s footsteps set foot here,

It’s different from the imaginary environment of howling ghosts and howling wolves.

As the top entrance to the Spiral Deep Realm,

On the contrary, it is quite clean here, with a beautiful environment and pink and white flowers growing all around.

At the end of this spiral, there seemed to be a figure flickering, as if there was life.

It is said that buried here are secrets and treasures that have long been forgotten by the world...

People and monsters who covet the treasures and knowledge within occupy this spiral tower.

Wang Daoyi took a slight sniff with the tip of his nose: "The smell of the earth veins here is quite special."

He has been in contact with the earth veins of this era and can clearly feel that the earth veins here are completely different from those in the outside world.

The power of the earth's veins from the outside world is extremely violent because it wants to eliminate things like the resentment of the demon god.

And the earth veins here are as calm as water.

Wang Dao felt unusually comfortable from the moment he stepped here.

There is a sense of relief in being hugged and not having to worry about it anymore.

However, this did not make Wang Daoyi give up his vigilance. Instead, it made him wary and cautiously stepped into the spiral.

It is said that it is a spiral, but it is not actually a spiral staircase, but a large secret realm. It is such a secret realm that accumulates layer by layer to form a corridor and form a deep spiral.

Stepping into the corridor,

Wang Daoyi soon discovered something different.

The figures I saw before were indeed not hallucinations. There were people or, in other words, humanoid beings here.

"Ho ho ho ho, I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that there would be humans here now."

The speaker has a crown on his forehead and his face is old and as dry as a dead tree.

He was thin, his clothes looked gorgeous, but they were already rotten, his voice was like a drake, and his whole body still smelled bad.

Wang Dao's eyes flashed slightly, and he glanced at the crown on the other person's forehead strangely.

They are branches of the ancient silver tree.

If he remembered correctly, before the ancient civilizations disappeared, they all sent priests to carry such branches into the depths of the earth.

Is it possible that the other party is really an ancient priest?

"Who are you?" Wang Daoyi asked. While asking, he also began to mobilize his strength, ready to take action at any time.

A flash of memory flashed in the old man's eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

"Who am I? Yes, who am I?"

A trace of confusion flashed across the old face, and then it became excited again,

"I am the beloved of heaven, I am the sacred sacrifice, I am the last hope!!!"

"But who am I? What's my name, no, no, I can't remember!!"

The old man let out a painful cry, and traces of dark aura emerged from his body.

Wang Daoyi was about to take action, but found that these auras were suppressed by the silver crown on the old man's head.

After a while, the old man calmed down.

He glanced at Wang Daoyi with dull eyes: "I am a sinner."

"I questioned the sanctity of the gods, and I peeked into the gods' authority, which led to disasters falling from the sky. The hoarfrost and cold current destroyed everything, but I couldn't find a way to save it. I am a sinner."

The old man's dull eyes couldn't help but shed tears.

It was obvious that he regretted and blamed himself.

Wang Dao's eyes flickered slightly,

Frost and cold snap destroy everything,

So, this old man is a sacrifice to the ice? No, it should be a sacrifice to Lei. The destruction of Lei's civilization was caused by ice.

"Then what did you find here? What's below?" Wang Dao was not interested in whether to sacrifice ice or to sacrifice thunder. He was very interested in what was below the spiral.

The old man glanced at Wang Daoyi and said nothing.

Well, this is not a man who likes to talk,

The nagging just now was because Wang Daoyi stimulated him and he said so much.

His eyes lingered on the old man again, and Wang Dao turned around and walked deeper.

The old man was lying on the road in the corridor, looking at Wang Daoyi's back with a hint of envy in his eyes.

How much he wants to go down like this, but unfortunately, he can't. He is already the last remnant of civilization. Once he goes down, it will declare the end of civilization.

This is not a place for us to seek knowledge at all. It has always been the cemetery of civilization.

After passing through the initial corridor, Wang Dao stepped into the spiral and came to the next floor.

The environment here is a little darker than above.

There are no flowers everywhere, but there are many dead branches falling on both sides of the road.

"Let go, let go of everything, and fall into the embrace of the void. Here is eternal peace~"

An inexplicable voice sounded in Wang Dao's ears. It was like an echo from ancient times or the whisper of a devil.

Leisurely, stable, comfortable, peaceful, peaceful, quiet and comfortable.

All reassuring words are not enough to describe this feeling.

More comfortable than mother's embrace, more reassuring than father's embrace,

Even Wang Daoyi can't describe this feeling with words and wisdom.

"Abyss." The knowledge was flowing in his eyes, and Wang Daoyi resisted this comfort.

"Is this the reason why the old priest from the upper level is unwilling to come down?" Wang Daoyi guessed in his heart.

The old priest may have come down here before, but because he couldn't resist the temptation, he went back again.

As for why he was unwilling to accept this tranquility, Wang Dao thought that it might have something to do with the price.

Everything has a price, so what is the price for accepting this peace?

I'm afraid, it means completely losing the persistence and turning the position into an abyss.

Choosing to ignore the temptation in his ears, Wang Daoyi continued walking deeper,

It seems like a mysterious place, but there are actually quite a lot of people there.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Wang Daoyi suddenly felt a cold feeling on his back and his pupils shrank suddenly.

His body flashed and he was tens of meters away in an instant.

The next moment, violent force bombarded the place where Wang Daoyi had just stood, exploding layers of smoke.

Wang Daoyi's expression turned cold, and with a thought, the wind element turned into a sharp wind blade, covering the smoke and going away.

The wind blade swept across, and there was a muffled sound in the smoke, and it hit.

But the coldness in Wang Dao's glance did not fade away, and it hit, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

The smoke disperses,

A figure appeared in front of Wang Daoyi.

This was a man with bare hands, but Wang Daoyi felt a powerful aura on him.

"Ha, I thought it was the old guy above who came down."

The man patted the dust on his body without caring at all.

The wind blade just now did hit him, but it obviously didn't break his defense.

"Who are you?" Wang Daoyi looked at him with a hint of wariness in his eyes.

This journey into the abyss has already allowed Wang Daoyi to see many different things.

The priest wearing a silver crown has been here for who knows how many years.

Now there is another powerful man walking here, and he attacks without saying a word.

"Me? Hahaha, I am [Ji], a person who pursues the limit." The man laughed, "I thought you were that old guy, I'm sorry."

He seemed to be very happy with Wang Daoyi's arrival and did not reject communication like the old man above.

[Ji], Wang Dao knew without thinking that this was just a code name at most, or maybe even a random name.

Although the other party seemed willing to communicate and even apologized for the attack just now,

But it is impossible to tell you everything from the beginning.

"I am [Secret], and I am here to explore the secrets of the abyss." Wang Daoyi also casually picked up a code name and told his secret.

[Extremely] Laughing: "Hahahaha, not bad, really good. You are much better than that old guy. The old guy came down once and never dared to come again."

Wang Daoyi frowned slightly: "Why?"

"You can also feel the magic here. It is as kind and peaceful as the mother of all things, and people can't help but fall into His arms."

[Ji] had a standardized smile on his face and seemed to know this place very well.

"I don't know if you have ever seen those abyss monsters. Once you accept this peace, you will not be able to stop getting closer to the forms of those abyss monsters. The old guy above just knows that he cannot resist the temptation of this kind of peace. , that’s why I haven’t dared to come down.”

Wang Daoyi suddenly had an idea: "Is he afraid of losing his human form?"

"Yes, the old guy is a sacrifice of an ancient civilization. He may be the last remnant of that civilization. Once he loses his human form, it will represent the end of that civilization."

"Obviously I came here to seek answers, but I dare not move forward because of timidity. Ha, what a waste."

As he spoke, the smile on [Ji]'s face became more obvious: "So he would rather wait for death to come than dare to come down and fight."

It was obvious that [Ji] looked down upon the old priest, and there was no respect in his words, even full of disdain.

Wang Dao looked at him and suddenly said: "What about you? What do you want?"

Since the sacrifice came here to seek answers, then why did this [Ji] come?

"Me?" [Ji] said with a smile, "I am just like you, I also come here for the secret of the abyss.

There are so many secrets buried here, and I want to take a look to see if there are any secrets that can help me pursue more extreme limits. "

The smile on [Ji]'s face never disappeared, but although he was clearly smiling, Wang Daoyi could not see any joy.

It was as if his smile was just an expression.

There is a feeling that he is smiling but not smiling, but there is no hostility. It is probably because he has not had any mood swings for a long time, and he has forgotten what kind of emotion laughter should always be.

He also saw that the other party may not really be hostile, but he may have just stayed here alone for a long time, so he was willing to talk to him.

A strong person enjoys and endures loneliness, but if he can avoid being lonely, he will choose not to be lonely.

"Then did you find any secret?" Wang Daoyi asked casually.

"This is the Spiral Deep Realm. Except for the old guy on the upper level, I have met many people here. Some great will has set the rules here. If you defeat the enemy, you can obtain the [Abyss Star], and [ Abyss Star] can be used to exchange for something you want from some great will here."

If you overcome the challenges at each level, destroy the enemies within them, and win the [Abyss Star], you will be rewarded by the great will hidden in it.

Wang Daoyi looked strange. Could it be that he was fighting in the abyss?

Looking at Wang Daoyi's strange look, [Ji] stretched out his hand and took out a golden star: "This is [Yuan Star]. I have been here for more than a hundred years and have obtained a total of more than a dozen. I used part of it to send it here. His great will was exchanged for some martial arts skills.”

Wang Daoyi remained calm and looked at the star in the opponent's hand.

That's right, they are the stars obtained from fighting in the abyss in the previous life.

In previous games, you can get a secret treasure box by completing [Abyss Star], and you can get holy relics from the box.

But now, according to [Ji]'s description, these [Abyss Stars] can be exchanged for unknown knowledge.

Considering that the holy relic itself is formed by unforgettable memories and stories,

It is normal for Yuan Xing to exchange knowledge.

However, [Ji] said that he had only acquired more than a dozen [Abyss Stars] in his more than a hundred years here, which surprised Wang Daoyi.

It seems that the real [Abyss Star] is not as easy to get as in the game.

"If we fight now, will the winner also have [Abyss Star]?" Wang Daoyi looked at [Ji].

The other party shook his head: "It's hard to say. I have been here for so long, I have fought no less than ten thousand times, and I have been recognized by the great will only a dozen times. Only by defeating powerful opponents and presenting wonderful battles can I obtain the Yuan Star." .”

Got it, you can’t brush Yuanxing anymore.

If you fight, you can get the Abyss Star, and Wang Dao will wipe out your bankruptcy.

Just create elemental life directly and then fight.

"Is that so..." Wang Daoyi pondered for a moment, then looked at [Ji], "Just fight, or do we have to decide between life and death?"

"Well, good question, but I don't know. Except for you and the old guy above, the enemies I met here are all abyss monsters. In the battle to obtain the abyss star, I tried my best to defeat the enemy. Behead."

"In other words, you can be sure that you can get the Abyss Star by killing the enemy, but you can't be sure if you don't kill the enemy."

Wang Daoyi pondered.

It sounds a bit confusing, but it’s actually a very simple calculation.

[Extreme] Kill the enemy and obtain the Yuan Star, so the answer is that killing the enemy is effective.

And [Ji] has never obtained the Abyss Star without killing the enemy, which means that it is not certain whether the Abyss Star can be obtained without killing the enemy.

Why not say that not killing the enemy is ineffective, because other factors must be taken into consideration - that is, fighting with all your strength.

"I don't like calculations. Anyway, if you keep fighting all the way, there will always be someone who can get enough Yuanxing." [Ji] doesn't like Wang Dao's calculations.

"That's not right. You said you have been here for more than a hundred years, but why are you still on the second floor?" Wang Daoyi suddenly reacted.

No matter how big the Deep Realm Spiral is, it won't still be wandering on the second level for more than a hundred years.
