People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 149: Set off to obtain the authority of the rock
Liyue, Minlin, Qingyunding.

As a golden light flashed, two figures appeared silently beside the Seven Heavenly God Statue floating among the mountains.

Upon closer inspection, they were two young men who were extraordinary in both their clothing and appearance.

It was the walking duo consisting of Lin Feng and Zhongli.

……

Lin Feng, who was wandering around Liyue Harbor before, after reaching an agreement with Zhongli on the issue of elemental authority.

Taking a ride with the Emperor, they arrived at the most remote statue of the Seven Heavens God in the whole of Liyue in a flash.

Under the cool moonlight,

Lin Feng looked at the silver-gray misty clouds under his feet and the tall stone peak that stood like an attic.

I feel that Jueyunjian is worthy of being the place where immortals live. Just from the scenery, it looks like a paradise on earth.

--only,
Emperor, isn't it a bit too unkind of you to place the Seven Heavens Statue on such a completely suspended platform?
Apart from those with wings and those who can fly, I’m afraid few people can get up here, right?

Standing firmly, Lin Feng looked at the person beside him, changing his usual leisurely demeanor.

Zhongli, who was able to act quickly and decisively, said:
"...Thank you, Lord. This place is far from human habitation, rich in rock elements, and very close to the Seven Heavenly Statue. It perfectly meets my requirements."

"But if I remember correctly, Jueyunjian should be the place where the immortals' caves are located, and many immortals stay here..."

"The noise I make might be a little bit loud. Will it disturb the immortals here?"

Thinking of the impact of his awakening authority in Xumi,
Lin Feng was very worried that he might accidentally destroy the house of Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang.

After all, Qingyun Peak is where the cave of this fairy deer is located.

"——It's okay. I will be by your side this time. You don't need to worry too much. Just concentrate on experiencing the power and try to replicate it."

"If there are any mistakes, it is due to my inability to adjust. After the incident, I will apologize to the old friends here."

Zhongli smiled and expressed his understanding of Lin Feng’s concerns.

Since ancient times, once the power of the demon god level appeared, the impact it caused has never been small. At the very least, the earth would shake and aftershocks would continue. At the worst, mountains would change shape and rivers would change course.

What's more, what is about to appear before him may be a reproduction of the power of elements and even the "Seven Laws" that has never been seen before in the entire continent of Teyvat.

The reason why he chose to accompany him was also to eliminate the impact.

Lin Feng felt relieved when he heard this, thinking that since the Emperor was here to guarantee for him.

Then no matter what happens afterwards, it will not cause a series of follow-up effects like Xumi.

After all, the overflow of the authority of grass would at most cause the vegetation to grow more luxuriantly, which is not a big problem. However, if something goes wrong with the authority of rock, it probably won’t be as “peaceful” as before.

"Alright, thank you very much, Emperor."

Lin Feng thanked him frankly.

"But why is the Emperor so sure that the process of me gaining power is actually a "breakthrough" of the underlying rules of Teyvat?"

"——If it is just a similar authority, then it should have appeared on this continent before."

Thinking of Inazuma's sisters and the demon god in Chenyu Valley who also possessed the ability of "dreams", Lin Feng felt that similar authority should have appeared on the continent of Teyvat.

Just like "rock" and "dust", "sea" and "whirlpool".

Hearing Lin Feng's question, Zhongli raised his head slightly and looked at the bright moon in the sky, as if he was lost in memories. After a while, he slowly spoke:
"If it is just 'similar' authority, then it naturally exists."

"Just as a river can be calm or turbulent, the two sides of the same thing can also be divided into different powers, and their manifestations are often very similar."

Zhongli paused, glanced at the boy beside him, and continued to explain:

"——Two thousand years ago, the mistress of the grass and trees and a pair of sisters from across the sea drank with me at the banquet."

"So, even though we haven't met often, I still have some understanding of the power they possess."

"——It is precisely because of this that I can better perceive the characteristics of you that are 'incompatible' with the laws of this world."

He thought about it and expressed his conclusion in the most understandable way:
"——In this land, the total amount of power of each element is limited."

"There may be different ways of expressing it, but there won't be too many of them that have enough 'power'."

"Even if they are twins among the demon gods, they will be in charge of different areas due to their different adaptability to power. In terms of the total amount of authority, they will not exceed other gods by much."

"——And you, my friend, have completely ignored this "rule". The strength of the plant and tree scent on you is not much different from that of the person two thousand years ago."

"But her successor is still on the throne, and the authority of the throne has not been reduced. So where does this "extra" power that exceeds the total amount come from?"

Zhongli shook his head, obviously having many doubts about the peculiarities of Lin Feng.

". Therefore, you, Your Majesty, can judge that the authority I possess is actually the result of a "reproduction" of the law."

"This power comes from myself. It is the "extra" power that has exceeded the upper limit, not drawn from the world."

After hearing Zhongli's judgment, Lin Feng became more curious about the source of his own peculiarities.

——He originally thought that he was like the ancient demon god, who just gathered the scattered power in some way. In essence, he still shared the power share from within Teyvat. At most, his methods were more strange and did not follow the normal process.

To use a modern metaphor, it is probably like hacking into the computer system. Although you can unlock more functions by continuously obtaining higher-level permissions, in essence, no matter how you try, the computer's hardware ceiling is there, and its theoretical computing power limit is relatively fixed.

But if he just obtained the sample from Teyvat and copied it directly, then the meaning would be very different.

——This shows that even when I first came, I already carried enough power. My appearance actually increased the total power of this world.

It is not about cutting the original cake, but adding a new layer to the cake. This is in line with the definition of the Adventer.

Back to the present.

Feel the two kinds of authority that I have vaguely obtained.

Lin Feng looked at the Seven Heavenly God Statue in front of him and pondered for a moment.

Finally, he shook his head, took a step forward, and placed his hand on the blue-gray base of the statue.

——In any case, he is now very different from when he was at his weakest.

There is no point in just daydreaming there. If you have any doubts, it is better to try to get some answers through your own efforts in the process of analyzing authority.

Thinking of this, the boy slowly closed his eyes, increased his concentration, and shifted his focus more to himself.

Under the cold moonlight, some orange-yellow spots of light began to emerge in the mountains and forests.

Accompanied by the owner of power, Lin Feng began his journey to acquire power with some anticipation.
