Original God, but the real world

Chapter 182 181-Transaction
Certain mechanisms in the secret realm are often connected to the treasure room.

If you do not follow the arrangements of the people who set up the mechanisms and crack down on them layer by layer, but choose to use violent means to advance, you probably won't have to think about any benefits for the rest of your life.

Outside the secret realm, the Hillichul people or monsters would habitually put all the looted items together.

Kill them and you can take everything they have.

The people who set up the mechanisms require you to obey their will and play the game according to their rules.

But people obey the rules because obeying the rules brings benefits, and there is violence to maintain the rules, which can punish most people who try to break the rules.

Jiang Qing thought about it for a long time, but he didn't realize that this black mist was precious.

That’s great...just blow yourself up.

Anyway, their mission here is to disperse the black fog. Simply blowing up the black fog can be considered a solution to the problem.

As for whether the black fog will fight back and bring any trouble... isn't this what they are expecting?

According to the rules of the mechanism, go ring the bell and then come back to continue to break the black fog?
Yes, but it is not necessary.

Since Ganyu can forcibly break the resistance of the black fog, whether it resists or whether there are extra solutions is no longer important.

Only one method is needed to solve a problem. The optimal solution can be used, but it is not necessary.

Considering the military strength of the Liyue dispatch team, any solution can be used.

Ganyu said nothing.

Showing off her archery skills against a motionless target was somewhat of a waste of the skills she had honed during the war against demons.

After all, there is no way to express it.

However, things like indiscriminate bombing don't make people feel particularly uncomfortable.

"Will she find the joy of explosions like Klee does?"

Jiang Qing asked casually.

The more she attacked, the more skillful Ganyu's bow-drawing skills became.

Since the end of the Demon War, she has given up all her martial arts.

But thanks to the Qilin's bloodline, she can still maintain her lifespan for thousands of years, and her strength is still rising.

As long as he adapts a little, he will soon be able to get back to his state in the Demon War.

Her life span and fighting power...are really a naked reflection of her bloodline.

"That elf?"

There are real elves in Teyvat, and their lifespan seems to be very long.

Ye Lan thought about it seriously: "Do all immortal species have this habit?"

Wielding a huge amount of elemental force and bombarding somewhere seems to be quite relaxing.

When Osel swims, he can create huge waves. In his heyday, he might be able to create a tide strong enough to destroy Liyue Harbor just by swimming.

In terms of combat effectiveness, its size can solve many problems.

Osel was swimming in the sea, his head almost level with the Jade Pavilion.

With this size alone, the waves created by just a roll would be enough to make anyone despair.

The four gods all use human form, but Jiang Qing does not think that the human form is their most powerful form.

"It's not that the immortals have this habit, but if you don't have this level of vitality, you probably won't be able to drive such a huge amount of elemental power." Jiang Qing thought for a moment, "But if it's Klee, she must really like it."

At Klee’s age, she probably doesn’t have much elemental power left in her body.

However, she does have some talent in alchemy, although it is mainly concentrated in the field of alchemical bombs. By combining alchemical bombs with elemental forces, this young elf girl is also a genius who can flatten the entire Wangfeng Mountain and completely change the topography of the Wangfeng Mountain.

Both Eula and Jean are knights with outstanding skills and talents, but in terms of destructive power, the two of them combined are not even as powerful as Klee.

This talent is really powerful. No wonder Jean can tolerate Klee's mistakes every time.

Not to mention the affection that comes from being cared for since childhood, this talent alone deserves special treatment.

The two people were discussing something casually out of boredom. Ganyu, who was listening, had calm and steady movements with her hands, without any changes at all.

Miss Qilin proved one thing with facts: not all puzzles need to be solved according to the ideas of the puzzler - if you don't care about the benefits, and happen to be able to hang the riddler up and beat him, he will still give you the answer.

After the black fog was dispelled, two Abyss Singers suddenly appeared at the spot.

Fire element and thunder element.

Jiang Qing looked at Gan Yu beside him, then looked at Ye Lan beside him, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

No, this is the Abyss Warrior, right?

"Who are you?"

Along with the question came the sound of arrows exploding.

There is really no way to describe the scene of being beaten. These two elements collided with Ganyu of the ice element and Ye Lan of the water element. Even without Ye Lan, Ganyu alone was able to hang up and beat these two unknown life forms.

But these two Abyss Singers were very dedicated and although they talked big at the beginning, they had no intention of retreating halfway, but persisted until their death.

Of course, it may be impossible to escape...
"They said this is a forbidden area?" Ye Lan stretched her waist a little, looking relaxed, "So they are the jailers guarding the prisoners?"

She was playing with a Rubik's Cube in her hands.

A forbidden place is a place where certain people are forbidden to enter.

From this angle, the two people holding the special props are obviously the jailers guarding the forbidden area.

If they are watchers, what are they watching over?
She looked at the Rubik's Cube in front of her, her expression becoming more serious.

The specific shape is not important, generally speaking, this kind of thing needs to fit into a keyhole.

With the key in her hand and Jiang Qing beside her, Ye Lan was not worried about not finding the answer.

Since the end of the Demon War, the Layered Chasm has been under the control of the Liyue people.

But this time, after going deeper, we found that what they knew was probably not even the tip of the iceberg.

Even if Ye Lan were told now that there was a new intelligent race below and that they were the true masters of the Layered Abyss, Ye Lan would still be able to accept it.

"The world beneath the abyss is really complicated."

Ganyu couldn't help but sigh.

She couldn't help but feel thankful for the past Liyue.

Ever since the Dragon King Rudra was sealed, the mining activities here have never stopped.

Even so, no one had ever noticed the problem with the Layered Chasm.

This place actually hides so many unexpected factors. Fortunately, the Liyue people who passed by were not injured.

"Go ahead," Jiang Qing said without looking back, "We have the key, so we can probably take the last step."

"Is this the key to the treasure?" Ye Lan looked up at the upside-down city. "If this is the key and the guard who guards the key, then what is that thing in the sky?"

"Some kind of truth." Jiang Qing replied.

······
It was Dainsleib again.

There was a hint of speculation in Ying's eyes.

"Will there be a chance for us to meet again?" she asked. "You don't seem willing to be honest with me about all your problems."

There was a hint of annoyance in her words.

From the time they set out from Mond to today, most people who know the situation are like the Riddler.

It's not that Ying can't understand.

From the events of the Sun and Moon and Oropus, she could probably understand that this world was far more dangerous than she had imagined.

There is nothing special about the events before the Sun and the Moon. These are records of the people in Yuanxia Palace, and the materials are definitely not something special.

Even so, Oropas would die if he saw it.

This shows that it is not [previous events] but knowledge that serves as a warning.

If someone comes into contact with knowledge, it means they are violating the taboo, and anyone who gets close to it will be punished by Sky Island.

It’s like you recite a name in your mind, and then someone locks onto your location and senses your presence from thousands of miles away.

Your cognition has been captured artificially.

This method is considered a very rare ability during Ying's long journey.

So it is quite normal that some people know but dare not say it.

But does Deinsleib also fall into this category?
I can't be sure.

After all, even her brother, Sora, is a riddle man.

"I know you're very unhappy, but if there are some things that can be said directly, why do you think he didn't say it?"

Dainsleb spoke calmly.

Universal answer.

What can I do if your brother doesn’t even tell me?
Ying narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking about how confident she was that she could directly control this person.

If we speak logically, isn't fist also a kind of truth?

But she soon gave up the plan.

At present, Dain is more reliable than any other god.

He just didn't tell the whole story, but at least he could get some answers... and it seemed that Sora was his enemy, so maybe he could wait until Sora and Dyne fought.

In comparison, most gods are really useless.

They would only point out a direction. If Ying hadn't put traveling first, she probably wouldn't have tried to accept the gods' commission.

The gods' entrustment, rewards and efforts are often disproportionate.

Besides, Dainsleb could also use the same method of teleportation. She was not absolutely sure of controlling him, so she was naturally unwilling to try it easily.

If we have a complete falling out, there will be no way to get any information from him.

"Hey, there's a camp over there!"

Paimon, noticing that the atmosphere had become slightly more relaxed, immediately floated up happily.

“It’s a trace of the life of the Qiuqiu people.”

Ying half-crouched on the ground.

Arrowheads, unknown scrolls, masks... these are all special alchemical items that can be searched from the Hillichells.

In alchemy, these things still have some value.

"The client said that the Hillock people have been gathering in the Layered Rock Abyss for a long time, and they can't get out." Ying looked at Dainsleib, "You told me last time that the Hillock people were originally Kanreya people. They were cursed, so they became like this."

"You should know something, right? This is something I can't tell you about? [Sword of the Last Light]."

This is venting anger on others.

People often get angry because they are powerless at certain times, or because they do something but don’t get the results they want.

The object of anger may not necessarily be yourself, it can also be "this teammate is so bad".

Dain looked normal.

He has been wandering for five hundred years since the destruction of Kanreya.

He knew Ying's value and would not have any unnecessary reaction to Ying's sudden anger.

"I do know."

The curse in his body told him the truth.

"The surrounding environment can weaken the effect of the [Curse]."

It seems that cursing depends on the person.

The less experienced ones became the Hilichurls, followed by the main force of the cult, the Abyss Mages and Abyss Apostles.

Dain preserved his human form.

"The curse of immortality... Can something like immortality also become a curse?" Ying seemed to be thinking about something.

"This is the realm of the gods. It is not something you and I can peek into right now." Dain said calmly, "The curse will bring pain, but here, the curse has been alleviated."

"People who are tortured by pain and then sense this power will naturally move closer to the Layered Rock Abyss."

This must have a range. It's impossible that all the hillbillies in the entire continent are rushing here.

"Immortality, are there really any Hillilks who can survive from five hundred years ago to today?" Ying asked softly, "If we regard the Hillilks as a new race, their starting point is the destruction of Kanreya five hundred years ago, but the number of people a kingdom can have is limited, even if all of them are converted to Hillilks."

"What's more, you also said that they have intelligence. Indeed, they have language and writing, and can indeed be considered a kind of intelligent life."

Five hundred years ago, some people had tried to deduce the social structure of the Qiuqiu people.

Obviously, they have their own writing and language, eat cooked food, and can drive elemental forces. They are indeed new intelligent life forms.

But they never communicate with humans and rob merchants' carriages... This doesn't seem like a choice that life forms that have inherited the wisdom of the Kanreya people would make.

So stupid.

Ying recalled the hillbilly camps she had cleared out during her travels.

"Curse is a form of punishment that requires the victim to endure constant torture over a long period of time."

But this was the original victim.

They retain the intelligence and memories of the Kanreyan people, just as the mages of the order always talk about revenge.

If it had continued to be passed down, the Hillilchur people after three or five generations would have become another kind of creature, which is the monster that people are familiar with today.

Ying looked at Dain, "Will you regard the later hillbillies as your own kind?"

"You are very perceptive." Dyne did not answer. "For living beings, wisdom comes from inheritance."

"Our ancestors recorded their wisdom in stone carvings and books, and then passed it on to the next generation. The next generation will build on the research of their predecessors and open up a new future."

But although the Hillichul people today can use fire and treat slimes as bombs...this can only be regarded as the early seeds of wisdom.

For a new race, reaching this point in five hundred years is already quite remarkable.

But the earliest Hill people inherited the memory of the Kanreya people. They multiplied and passed on wisdom, and in the end only an early life race was left.

This life race has offended the Seven Kingdoms. Amber has been hunting and clearing out the camps of the Hillock people all year round, and the Adventurer's Association has regarded the clearing of the Hillock people as a long-term commission.

"This is not the answer." Ying thought for a moment, "Forget it, let's end this matter here. It's good enough that I know the answer."

Doesn't count.

The first generation of Hilichurls were the Kanreya people who were cursed and turned into such monsters.

But after they multiplied and prospered, the Hillickls who now live in the Seven Kingdoms and various ruins are not regarded as the same kind by the Church and Dain.

The cult simply regarded them as a new race of life that could be driven.

Erdainsreb sympathized with the Kanreans because of their origins, and he also sympathized with the Qiuqiu people, but that was all.

None of them would regard the current Hill people as their own kind.

"It seems that you don't seem to have any emotional fluctuations about the demise of Kanreya."

Dain folded his arms.

"No, I always pity the weak." Ying smiled, "Kan Ruiya is a weakling, right? I pity them."

Paimon subconsciously held Ying's fingers.

The little floater pinched it gently, hoping that she would calm down.

The time is wrong.

If it weren't for the underworld environment of Yuanxia Palace, Ying wouldn't be so aggressive at this moment.

"Go on, maybe there are still many clues ahead."

Dain turned and continued on his way.

Ying shrugged and pinched Paimon's cheek with his backhand.

"What are you afraid of?" She lowered her voice. "We're not asking for help from anyone. He and my brother are not in the same group. At worst, we can just go our separate ways."

Dainsleb is indeed the only clue at hand.

But to be honest, this is not the first time that Ying has been a naive person.

Starting from Mond, she didn't get many clues to begin with, and was simply back to her naive state of knowing nothing at the beginning.

Anyway, Kong has said it, so just continue traveling.

You can't say that Kong would deceive her, right?

Besides, Sora and Dyne were clearly on opposite sides before.

She didn't know what her brother was doing, but as a sister, she supported and trusted Sora, obviously more than she trusted Dainsleb.

If you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it. If you are not satisfied, then don’t be satisfied.

You're not happy? I'm not very happy either.

I'm not asking anyone for help, so what do I have to be afraid of?

When people don't seek help from outside, they can naturally be much stronger.

What's more, Ying also believed that Jiang Qing could provide similar information.

As we go deeper into the cave, the traces of the hill people's life become more and more obvious.

"Although it is called the Curse of Undeath, Undeath is just an additional attribute of the curse." Dain said, "We all believe that the curse is to punish the Kanreya people for touching the taboo. The so-called Undeath is precisely because death is the end of everything."

"And the gods don't want this to end."

The pain will continue to torture for hundreds of years, only then can it be called a curse.

The so-called immortality is just to allow a person to persevere.

"Even if they are lucky enough not to die at the hands of others, they will reach the end of their lives at some point sooner or later."

"Because the soul has weight, the longer it lives, the more it cannot bear the weight, and finally it is killed by wear and tear."

Wear and tear...Ying thought of Zhongli's words.

"So, this is the place they chose to sleep?"

Paimon got the answer.

The curse brings pain, but the Abyss can alleviate the pain, so they subconsciously chose to come to the Abyss.

Really lucky.

There was no absolute way to deal with these Fatui before, so the Thousand Rock Army did not directly control the Layered Rock Abyss... Of course, they probably couldn't control it either.

The Abyss is so huge that as long as you are determined, you can always find other entrances deep underground.

Without the Seven Stars' nod, the Thousand Rocks Army would not have been able to expend resources and effort to seal off the entire Layered Rock Abyss.

"I've read the information Ningguang gave me. This kind of situation never happened before. Only recently have records of the Hillilchur people pouring into the Layered Abyss been reported."

"That is to say, in the past hundreds of years, there has never been any sign of the curse weakening in the Layered Abyss... If it weren't for the sudden change in the environment here, then it seems that this might be our old friend."

The curse is artificially imposed, and no matter how the natural environment changes, it is impossible to create an environment that can specifically suppress this curse.

There may be poisonous herbs that can detoxify poisonous snakes near them, but it is unlikely that an antidote for the T virus will be found in the natural environment.

The eyes flickered.

No wonder Jiang Qing wanted her to come here.

"But as far as I know, the cult shouldn't have such technology." This was also Dain's answer.

"That means your intelligence is outdated." Ying said meaningfully, "People will improve, let alone a group of people who are willing to do anything out of hatred."

Considering that Kong is still the leader of the cult, she is still willing to define this group of troublemakers as human beings.

In fact, what does the fight between the Seven Kingdoms and the Kanreya people have to do with her?

She is not even a Teyvatian, so how could she have the leisure to care about the suffering of others?

When it doesn't involve Sora, she enjoys showing her kindness.

But if she has her own friends and relatives, she will naturally stand on their side.

"Maybe." Dain was noncommittal.

The facts are before our eyes, it is clear that the Abyss has new technology.

"Wait a moment, the guests are coming."

He suddenly reminded.

Following his line of sight, Ying saw the "knight" suddenly emerging from the ground.

"This thing... looks familiar."

Paimon relaxed a little.

She had seen these guys in Yuanxia Palace and had some understanding of their methods.

"Not quite right."

Ying shook her head.

These things...seem to have their own will.

If the ones in Yuanxia Palace can be called empty shells, then these knights, even if they are empty shells, still have something left in them.

"Have you seen them?"

Dain took the first step.

He knew these Black Snake Knights, so he chose to give them death without reservation.

Cleaning up is a simple matter.

Ying and Dain teamed up and easily dealt with the Black Snake Knight who suddenly appeared.

“I’ve seen them in Yuanxia Palace,” Ying suddenly remembered something, “but although they look somewhat similar, the ones in Yuanxia Palace are almost hollow black shells, while these seem to still retain a certain degree of will.”

She was testing.

The whereabouts of Kanreya's delegation could not be hidden from the Sword of Last Light.

However, Dain did not respond, but simply avoided Ying's temptation.

“Maybe they are similar, but they were once my comrades.” Dain threw out another secret in exchange, “The Black Snakes, the palace guards of Kanria.”
