Original God, but the real world

Chapter 180 179-Investigation
Strictly speaking, the Layered Chasm in the game is far less painful than the Abyss Palace, because it has almost no branch paths, only one main road.

But now, the situation is different.

The paths in the Layered Abyss are complicated and intricate. If a person enters, it is likely that it will be difficult to find the right direction.

This is also the reason why Ye Lan brought a group of Qianyan Army.

Just killing people is enough for her and Jiang Qing.

But if you want to find someone and solve the problem, it is not a task that can be accomplished by two people.

Although this place is rugged and complex, with more people, we will be able to produce a complete topographic map.

This is where Ying and Paimeng are numb. They just climbed out of one underworld map, and then they have to go deep into another underworld.

"But it's actually not that bad here." Ying comforted Paimon, "Look, Ningguang gave us a lot of Mora."

"And we have maps."

At this point, Ying couldn't help but grit her teeth.

Naturally, Xinhai of the Coral Palace also had some maps of the Yuanxia Palace in his hands. These were not left behind by the ancestors of the Yuanxia Palace, but by the warriors who later risked their lives to enter the Great Sun Imperial Carriage in search of the Blood Branch Coral.

This map was fine for the search for blood branch coral, but unfortunately she was involved in another conflict, so the map was immediately scrapped.

The brave warriors who passed by were eager to get the blood branch coral immediately and leave that damn place, Yuanxia Palace, so they naturally would not leave any other route maps.

In her hand, she had a map of the route leading directly to the Great Sun Carriage, pieced together with some records of the Coral Palace. Relying on this half-pieced and half-guessed map, she almost ran across the entire Yuanxia Palace, but in the end she only completed one or two commissions.

Although obtaining [Things Before the Sun and the Moon] is already a very satisfying gain.

But when Ying thought about the experience of climbing up and down, she hated such places.

Fortunately, the map given by Ningguang's secretary, although a bit simple, can lead directly to the main force.

Having so many people exploring under the abyss together is definitely a much better idea than running around with Paimon alone.

The map couldn't soothe Paimon's heart, but Mora could.

Ying doesn't care much about Mora, but since she has to support Paimon, who consumes 300,000 Mora every month, she still has to prepare some.

The circulation of Mora began to slow down, and more and more people discovered that Mora would no longer be produced.

These artifacts, which contain special powers, were once regarded as currency for transactions, and their status was strong because of their occult applications in alchemy and blacksmithing.

But now its quantity is decreasing, and its value is increasing.

Ying didn't care about these things. No matter what currency a country used, with her abilities, she could quickly earn enough wealth to live in that country.

"Okay." Paimon sighed, "Let's go."

She floated above Ying's head, subconsciously helping Ying find the route.

This was a subconscious reaction developed in Yuanxia Palace. The terrain of that place was one thing, but there were also countless deep-sea dragon lizards in the dark corners.

Before the people from Yuanxia Palace left, that place was still considered human territory.

But with their departure, even with the protection of the Great Sun Carriage, that place had actually completely become a paradise for dragon lizards.

However, the Chasm does not have such a difficult problem.

After all, in Yuanxia Palace, Ying was looking for the shadows left by a group of dead people.

Those active in the Chasm are Liyue's Thousand Rock Army.

In fact, she didn't need any map at all. She just needed to follow the mining tunnel left by the Liyue people, and she would naturally be able to catch up with Ye Lan.

Ying didn't remind Paimon and let her float high in the sky.

We accidentally encountered several pairs of Thousand Winds Army along the way, but the combination of Ying and Paimon was indeed difficult to imitate in the current Teyvat.

With the token Ningguang prepared, she could easily travel through the Layered Abyss.

"Huh," Paimon breathed a sigh of relief while sitting on Ying's shoulder, "That's good now. I believe the Layered Abyss is indeed much better than the Abyss Palace."

In the places that had already been inspected, only a small number of Qianyan troops were arranged to patrol behind the scenes.

But a clear path and the occasional encounter with the Thousand Rock Army made Paimon feel much more relaxed.

At least, there is no need to worry about deep-sea dragon lizards suddenly jumping out from the corner, and there is no need to worry about finding those shadows whose positions are difficult to understand.

Ying reached out and teased Paimeng twice, while thinking about how to talk to Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing knew a lot of things that he shouldn't know because of his identity. He never concealed this and even actively expressed it.

Ying could understand Jiang Qing's approach.

When he was weak, if he wanted people like Ningguang and Qin to trust him, he couldn't make any mistakes.

Once he succeeds, these people will actively choose to cooperate with him next time.

Exposing the information he knew would certainly be dangerous, but frankly speaking, given his initial identity, he would have to take risks if he wanted to get anything.

But if you want to reach a height that ordinary people cannot reach in a short period of time like you are doing now, this is not a problem that can be solved by taking risks.

Jiang Qing was a gambler, even though he thought he had the overall situation under control and had a great chance of success, he actually succeeded.

But that doesn't detract from the fact that he is indeed a gambler.

Ying is able to understand the fact that she is a special case and has no problem with the mediocrity of others.

It's not difficult to know that you are special.

As early as when her brother was captured and she was sealed, Ying knew that she must be special to this world.

The simplest and most important evidence is that she is still alive.

If a person's value is limited, she is not worthy of being captured, and there is no need to seal her power and let her get up again and travel through seven countries five hundred years later.

If anything that can be handled simply is made complicated, it means that it needs to be complicated.

Simply put, since the god had the ability to kill her and had already tried, but did not kill her in the end, the mere fact that she was alive was enough to prove her specialness to this world.

if not?
Otherwise, how could she survive?
Attack together with Kong, catch and seal each opponent one by one. No matter whether they are captured alive or sealed, why not go through the trouble of killing them directly?
Since he did not choose the simplest way of killing, but had to do this kind of thing, it means that Ying's life is a must for Him.

So she is special.

If it were someone like Jiang Qing, if he could kill someone without killing him, and actually did it but let the other person live, Ying would naturally know that this person must have other value to Jiang Qing, so Jiang Qing could kill someone without killing him, and let the other person continue to live.

Being able to understand other people's experiences, Ying would certainly be able to understand if the same experience happened to her.

She would not recklessly take risks and commit suicide because of this speculation, but she would not be completely unaware of her own uniqueness.

But...Ying never thought that she could be so special.

She originally thought that she had just undertaken a mission, but after thinking about it carefully for so long, she always felt that the direction of things was far more interesting than she expected.

For example, whenever she arrived in a new country, she always ran into trouble quickly.

Ying read the history of Mondstadt and Liyue, and later asked Coral Palace Xinhai and Kamisato Ayaka, and finally suddenly realized something.

These countries were more peaceful and tranquil than Ying had expected.

This is an answer that anyone can discover, but Ying is the only one who needs to think about it to come up with it.

Before Ying arrives, everything is in the stage of brewing and development.

But when she arrived, the matter suddenly began to explode, dragging her into it and making it impossible for her to escape.

Fortunately, this kind of thing is not absolute.

For example, this time, she clearly did not return to Liyue, but something went wrong in the Chasm.

This at least proves that Ying was just unlucky and happened to encounter these difficult troubles, rather than her causing these troubles.

We just happened to meet.

······
The method of going down the pit is not difficult.

While the Qianyan Army was laying out the equipment, Jiang Qing was also observing the surrounding environment.

The secrets of the Chasm are much more difficult than those of the Abyss Palace.

The trouble with Yuanxia Palace is that the environment there is too dark, and the existence of the shadow of the eternal world requires the Great Sun Carriage to turn day and night to find the final answer.

In comparison, the answer to the Layered Abyss is almost a straight line. As long as you follow the main trunk of the mine, you will naturally reach the final destination.

But if the terrain isn't dark enough, you can make up for it with other things.

For example, the Hanging City, the work of the cult.

Another example is the huge stone pillar that resembles the Frost Nail.

The true face of this world is far from being revealed, and he does not carry the true power.

In this sense, it is actually better not to know the truth.

As the loser of the Demon War, Orobasi originally wanted to escape to the map of the Dark Sea. However, he met the people from the Abyss Palace on the way. Out of curiosity, he took a closer look and was about to lose his life.

Knowing more is certainly a means of taking advantage of the fire for the weak, but it is also a disaster.

It might be an exaggeration to say that Orobas is weak, but judging from the results, he is indeed not that powerful.

"An old friend of yours is here." Ye Lan patted Jiang Qing on the shoulder.

The Qianyan Army has its own means of transmitting information - in short, it is not carrier pigeons.

Alchemy can be used to transmit messages remotely. Alice has even used this method many times to communicate with Klee across a long distance.

Nashida is even more outrageous. In the island plot, she went to the island from Jingshan Palace and participated in Klee's summer activities.

If the former is technology, I don’t know how to describe Nashida’s method.

"Old friend?" Jiang Qing raised his eyebrows. "I have a lot of friends. Are you talking about the kind that want to kill me, or the kind that have worked with me before and think I'm trustworthy and plan to continue working with me?"

Strictly speaking, the latter actually includes the former.

There is no conflict between wanting to continue cooperating with Jiang Qing and wanting to kill him.

"It's Ying." Ye Lan looked serious.

Ordinary people may make fun of him, but this person's experience is a bit legendary and it is not easy to make fun of him.

Jiang Qing was about to say something when a dark purple vortex suddenly appeared around him.

He subconsciously raised his fist and punched forward.

The vortex had just disappeared, and the blue apostle had just emerged when a fist hit its face.

"Tsk."

Jiang Qing let out a light sigh.

Is it necessary to cooperate like this? She just arrived, she hasn't even arrived yet, and you guys can't wait to start preparing for the performance?

It could be a coincidence, but coincidence is a little unlikely.

These bastards are really anxious.

The Apostle of the Abyss had no intention of talking, and didn't say a single word. He didn't behave like an Apostle of the Abyss at all.

It raised its hands, and the water element turned into double blades, which made Jiang Qing think that Tartaglia's teacher back then might be a water element apostle.

"Is this what you called the Abyss Apostle of the Cult?" Ye Lan blinked.

"Ah, your archenemy." Jiang Qing answered casually, "You'll beat it half to death soon, and then it will open its shield to disgust you."

Thunder and water break the water elemental shield... torture, so much torture.

The Apostle of the Abyss who suddenly jumped out was actually of the same level as himself. The combat power of the cult was still quite reliable.

Of course Ying could beat Yuanshang until he screamed "If you hit me again I'll die", but this is Ying.

Pull out the combat power counting unit Rosaline. After Ying can crush Rosaline, he will immediately have a decisive battle with Lei Dianying. The number of his opponents must be at least three or four Rosalines.

What's more, she is the eldest sister of the family's boss. If you really fight with her, you will suffer if you lose, but even if you win, you may not get any good results.

Jiang Qing can't do it.

He and the opponent were barely on par with each other, and he would surely win by asking his big uncle for help, but he might not be able to keep it.

Fortunately, Jiang Qing didn't intend to fight alone from the beginning.

"useless!"

The sound of "xinxin" was automatically dubbed in Jiang Qing's ears.

Two consecutive traces of wind elements passed through the air, and the Apostle of the Abyss, who was still recovering, suddenly froze in place.

From high above, a blue arrow landed on the wound and then exploded.

"Kneeling already?"

Jiang Qing looked at the Apostle of the Abyss who exploded directly with a surprised expression.

It seems that opening the shield still requires some subjectivity.

If it is not activated actively, there will be no 20% blood-locking shield.

That's normal.

Regardless of whether it can be opened or not, the result will be death.

Theoretically speaking, there is really no choice for the wind element to control the water element, but it depends on the person.

To General Jinpeng, who travels around Liyue and has been nailing monsters and evil spirits to death on the earth for a thousand years, being at the same rank as Jiang Qing is basically the same as having no rank at all.

They are all at the same level of two shots each, so it makes no difference whether you turn on the shield or not.

If we assume that the demons are ranked according to their levels, Heulia is clearly at the bottom, but she is still a demon, and should be at the level of one of the top three Fatui executives mentioned by Nashida.

Continuing to speculate, it is probably at the level of Osel, who has been sealed for thousands of years and can turn around and pin a group of immortals to the ground and beat them.

Going further, it is a relatively mediocre level among the seven rulers.

Narcida is an absolute exception. She is one of the seven rulers, and her ability may be only slightly better than Heulia, so she is threatened by the Doctor.

The weak will be threatened by the strong, and Nashida is clearly no match for the Doctor.

The top of the seven rulers is Zhongli, who won the title of God of War a thousand years ago.

It’s not so good now. The old man is really old and he probably can’t give his full performance.

Above are Phanes and his four shadows. Phanes is the First Throne, and the Second Throne has also appeared.

The rest has no reference value. Who knows when these people will appear in the plot. Maybe they can only serve as a background board before winter.

Xiao should at least be at the level of Heulia, right?

Jiang Qing could only guess this.

There are no particularly positive battle records to support these speculations, but no matter what, it is not difficult to crush an Apostle of the Abyss.

"Is this the place?" Xiao clasped his arms, and the spear had disappeared from his hands.

"According to the records in ancient books," Jiang Qing spoke without hesitation, "during the black disaster five hundred years ago, Ye Lan's ancestor Bo Yang arrived at the Layered Rock Abyss carrying the Taiwei Instrument Disk."

"You should know more about the disaster than I do. At that time, the Thousand Rocks Army was struggling to hold on, and in the end they could only use the Taiwei Plate to seal the monster under the Layered Rock Abyss."

"During this war, a Yaksha with four arms who had lost his mind protected the Thousand Rocks Army."

Ye Lan raised an eyebrow.

Now you don't pretend at all, right?

I don't know as much about the records of my ancestors as you do.

In fact, in order to investigate the matter of this ancestor named Boyang, Ye Lan took the initiative to apply to join the Thousand Rocks Army team that went deep into the rock abyss.

And now it seems that her choice was right.

Here was someone who knew her ancestors better than she did.

Ye Lan did not doubt Jiang Qing's source of information. In fact, by now, Ye Lan already had the answer.

Although this answer was a bit bizarre, Ye Lan felt that no matter how bizarre the answer was, it could not be more bizarre than what Jiang Qing had done.

Identity, position and ability are all necessary conditions for the choices a person can make.

Jiang Qing is able to make the choice that benefits him the most every time. This does not mean that his ability has surpassed everyone else, so that every time he makes a plan, others can only help him make wedding clothes.

Anyone with a little bit of perceptiveness would have noticed that rather than being smart, it would be more accurate to say that Jiang Qing knew the answer from the beginning.

When it comes to the future, most people piece together intelligence and make predictions.

Jiang Qing already knew the future, and then he pieced together the process based on the answer.

Although this guess is bold, Ye Lan was not sure about it before.

Not only her, but also Ningguang, Ying and Tartaglia, actually had such speculation.

But they were also unsure.

Until the end of the Inazuma incident, Tartaglia, who still didn't know what Jiang Qingbo had obtained, might still be a little confused. However, Ye Lan and others, who knew that this person had become a follower of the God of Thunder and was still plotting to create the next god, had confirmed their guess.

This person must know the future to some extent.

Jiang Qing has never concealed anything, and he didn't dare to conceal it in the past. Others only chose to trust him when they had this speculation.

Now...it just doesn't matter.

He has the status of a follower of the god of thunder, and can pull the general to rescue him from a distance at any time.

Now he is in Liyue, and the old man is waiting for help above the Chasm.

After all, this time, Jiang Qing brought a little more immortals.

Ganyu and Xiao, two of Liyue's few hardworking role models, are both here. Just for them, Zhongli has to be there in person to avoid any accidents.

The old man still understands the difference between being busy temporarily and being busy all the time.

Next, Jiang Qing went to Xumi. Lei Dianying had already decided to set off for Xumi to make a decision with Dapao.

In other words, at least in these two versions, he is protected by gods.

Once the Xumi version is completed, he will at least be a demon god level.

In fact, by the time he had fully accepted the divine power of General Thunder, he had already stood at the pinnacle of mortals, and all he had to do was step onto the Sky Island to become a god [Original God].

Jiang Qing didn't plan to take this path. He just added points directly and was able to obtain demon-level power without going to Sky Island.

At this stage, even if the Fatui still had the means to kill the Demon, Jiang Qing didn't believe they would easily throw it on him.

After all, if we don't compare him with Ying, his progress is still very fast.

In this case, what does it matter if you know that he can predict the future?

People will not bring disaster upon themselves because of their great wealth, but disaster will come upon children carrying gold walking in a busy city.

The key to the problem is not what kind of treasures you have, the key is whether you can keep your treasures.

If Jiang Qing could hold down the Fatui's dog heads, then they would naturally choose to trade for what they want.

But if Jiang Qing can't hold it back, the ability to predict the future will be a disaster for him.

There must be someone who wants to capture him, squeeze out everything he knows, and then cut off his head as quickly as possible to ensure that Jiang Qing will not cause any harm to himself.

Jiang Qing knew that he was making a fortune in a busy city, but he didn't think of himself as a powerless "child".

At the very least, he should be considered a warrior with a knife, right?

Xiao doesn't care about these.

He probably knew that Jiang Qing was special, but he had no intention of asking Jiang Qing some questions.

Firstly, the other party will definitely tell it on his own initiative. Besides, Jiang Qing also received the gift from Morax.

Xiao's character is still trustworthy.

"Brother Fushe..."

Xiao pursed his lips, looking a little more relaxed.

He is the only guardian yaksha left now. In fact, even if he finds Fushe, he will only find a corpse.

It's not worth taking the risk for a corpse.

But many times, people do things not just for the sake of whether it is worth it, but also for whether they are willing to do so.

He just wanted to look for Fushe's trace, so even though he knew the danger of the abyss, he still came.

Ye Lan poked Jiang Qing on the shoulder, "What else do you know?"

Since Jiang Qing already knew it, there was no need to spend time investigating it.

She still believed in the accuracy of Jiang Qing's information.

"Not much." Jiang Qing thought for a while, "Probably your ancestor and Fushe took the monster into a certain underground palace, and after killing the monster, everyone didn't have the strength to come out, so they lay down underground together."

Tsk.

Ye Lan sighed softly.

What kind of investigation is this?

The giant ruins snake was actually released after completing the plot... I thought this snake had always been there, I must have written it wrong before!
