People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 284: The Awakening of Power and the Planning of the Power of the Abyss
".How are things going lately?"

".It seems that the influence of the abyss on your followers should have almost disappeared?"

".Besides that, is there anything else I can do regarding forbidden knowledge?"

"."

After arriving at the oasis, because of the mutual assistance contract signed with Apep,

With the idea of ​​helping out before the power is awakened,

Lin Feng observed the mushrooms and sandworms that were quietly showing up around him. Although he found that they were in good condition, he still asked for safety reasons.

"No need, the help you provided earlier is enough."

Apep, who had shrunk a few sizes in order to stay in the oasis but was still very large, shook his huge head and explained:

"Grass-attributed elemental life has always been the most adaptable group.
The reason why they are a little abnormal now is that after I gave up the power of the abyss, they are gradually returning to their original form with me. "

".Is that so."

"Since the influence of the abyss is gone, I feel relieved."

"."

Knowing that whether it is the grass elemental followers in Apep's body that have now turned into mushroom beasts, or the sandworms in the outside world, their original forms were actually not like this.

Since Lin Feng didn't quite understand how big the difference was between these guys in ancient times and now, he didn't have any doubts about Apep's statement.

"."

Hearing the anomaly in front of him who holds the power of grass mention the abyss again,
Apep, who had chosen to completely give up that power, felt that he and his followers were now full of vitality.
It was once obsessed with the pursuit of the power outside the realm. It was silent for a moment, and finally said with some relief:
".Now it seems that there is a natural repulsion between the power of the abyss and the grass element. After all, it is difficult for them to coexist."

".Although the characteristics of the grass element allow me to withstand pollution for a longer period of time, I am far from being as special as you and the Dragon King. This power may not be what I should pursue."

The Grass Dragon, which did not receive any strengthening from the abyss but instead only encountered pain and weakening, looked at Lin Feng in front of him with some envy:
——Whether it is complete power or adaptability to the power of the abyss, these are actually what it has always dreamed of but ultimately failed to obtain.

How can it not yearn for something that perfectly combines the two?
"."

"After all, I don't actually have any good methods for utilizing the power of the abyss."

"Although this power is not a big threat to me, once it is leaked, the impact on the surrounding areas will be too serious."

Recalling the power of the abyss within me,

Lin Feng had no doubt that with his previous reserves and the remains of the Red King absorbed from Apep,

If it is released without restriction, there might be another catastrophe on the level of the Kanreya War.

"."

"Although I have been searching for a long time, I am not the Dragon King after all, and I don't know the more advanced methods of utilizing the power of the abyss."

After hearing what Lin Feng said, Apep shook his head and said with some regret,
But after a brief pause, it also revealed what it knew:

"——According to the clues I learned from the Dragon King's legacy, the power of the abyss will have a far better effect than usual for the owner of complete elemental power."

"According to my guess, after completely accepting this power, perhaps the shackles on our great power can be removed.

By using power beyond the world's threshold to liberate the power of the elements, and by completely controlling a corner of the Seven Laws, I can gain enough power to fight a decisive battle with that outsider."

"."

".But the price of doing so is too heavy. The many holes in Teyvat today are all remnants of that battle.

Now, this world should no longer be able to withstand another war of the same magnitude."

".Is that so."

Because Xumi is currently in another golden age,
I don't want to repeat the history of the Red King and be used as a negative example by future generations.

Lin Feng has always been very cautious in using the power of the abyss.

But after hearing what Apep said, he felt that after he had dealt with the current matter,
In fact, you can also find another little yellow-haired guy in Mondstadt to consult him on how to use the power of the abyss safely:

——Since the completely liberated Seven Powers can destroy the world, theoretically they should also be able to repair the damage.

If there is a safe enough occasion and method to use it, judging from the performance of those Kanreya criminals and even Master Gongzi,

This abundant power of the abyss may be able to find some unique uses that can have a positive effect on the world.

——Speaking of which, I don't know what the specific situation of Musk Reef in Mond is.
If the power of the abyss is as abundant as recorded in the game, perhaps I can also raise the level on my panel a little bit beyond the upper limit.

He shook his head and kept this matter in mind for the time being.

After taking a glance at Xiaobai who was playing with the mushrooms,

Lin Feng also decided to turn the topic to another elemental dragon who came with him this time and is currently visiting other areas:

".I think Nashida should have told you the purpose of my visit this time."

"——Before you complete the second piece of elemental power, you should also want to meet this fellow from the neighboring country.

Although he is not the first generation of ancient dragons, if nothing unexpected happens, he may be one of the elemental dragons with the longest history in Teyvat today."

"."

".Heh, I naturally discovered it a long time ago. I guess it's just another descendant who got too close to humans and forgot the hatred of the world being taken away."

Apep's tone was somewhat disdainful.

"——Then while I'm preparing the awakening site, do you want to meet me?"

Hearing this, Lin Feng, who already had some understanding of this guy's temper, was not confused by Apep's performance, but asked directly.

"."

"Humph, since his power does not disgrace the name of the Elemental Dragon, let him come and meet me."

"——Looking at him like this, he must have forgotten a lot of things. That Tianli really put a lot of thought into obstructing the inheritance of the elemental dragon."

as predicted,

Although there was a lot of disdain in his tone, Apep actually still wanted to meet this fellow dragon that was closest to the first generation. ——After it recovered, it had discovered that
In Teyvat today, the later an elemental dragon appears, the more likely it is to lose the power and heritage of the ancient dragons.
Perhaps after a period of time, all newly born elemental dragons will be influenced by certain rules and naturally become as close to humans as those demons.

The one in front of it is at least a fully adult individual. Compared to those elemental dragons that were born in modern times, this may be the most suitable fellow dragon for it to chat with.

"Okay, then I'll build a suitable environment first.

If there are any serious external influences during the awakening process, I would like to trouble you to help stop it."

Recalling the strangeness that occurred when I awakened the power of grass element last time,

Considering the special function of rock as the skeleton of the world in the continent of Teyvat, Lin Feng solemnly entrusted Apep in front of him before going to find Rota.

On the other side,
After Ruota arrived here, he had already walked around the oasis in the desert with a group of Lanaros who came to join in the fun.
During this process, he naturally noticed the fellow tribesman in the central area who exuded a strong presence.

Since being born in Liyue and found by Morax,
He had never actually met his own "kindred".

Although according to the method of identifying the identity among elemental dragons, Lin Feng is now the real "Grass Dragon",
But considering that the other party would soon obtain the identity of "Rock Dragon", he decided not to treat the obviously abnormal fellow in the conventional way:

——If they really do this, then when the seven elemental powers are gathered, can these original elemental dragons really get together with the dragon lizards?
"."

The more I think about it, the more I feel that such a scene is too unacceptable.
Ruota also shook his head and decided to find a way to give his fellow tribesman some other title.
To prevent him from coming over and taking the original positions of these elemental dragons.

——One person squeezed out seven elemental dragons. This was too outrageous no matter how you looked at it.

But just as he began to seriously consider the feasibility of this plan,

The message from Lin Feng also brought him back to his senses:

——The main business has been discussed, and the original Grass Dragon hopes to talk to him.

"."

". The original ancient dragon, I never thought that after I left the seal, you would soon become inferior to your own kind."

Ruota had lived underground for a long time before being discovered by Morax, and had never imagined that such a scene would occur.

After suddenly facing this double suppression in terms of seniority and power, for a moment, a rare feeling of nervousness about meeting elders appeared.

——This is an elemental dragon that once fought with the Dragon King and Heavenly Law and still exists today.

Even though he had never actually seen Heavenly Principle and the Dragon King, he was still overwhelmed by the thought that even the Law of Wear established by Heavenly Principle made him powerless to deal with it.

He had a heartfelt admiration for this ancient dragon clan who could be called a living fossil.

Shaking his head, Ruo Tuo, who had been looking forward to this meeting for a long time, temporarily put aside all distracting thoughts.
Adhering to the habit of meeting the elemental dragons in memory, it also headed to the central area of ​​the oasis in a dragon form that was several sizes smaller.

at the same time,

After learning about the characteristics of the owner of the Rock Power from Apep,
Lin Feng drew lessons from what Apep did when he awakened the power of grass last time, and planned to build a suitable awakening space for himself in the earth veins:

——According to Apep, the complete power of rock not only possesses the power to resonate with the entire earth, but the rock dragon is also one of the elemental dragons with the strongest control over the earth veins.

If you want to minimize the difficulty of awakening authority, the best option is to make good use of the connection between the Power of Rock and the Power of Grass and the earth veins.

As long as you can use the earth veins to perceive as much as possible the rhythm of the earth itself when you awaken, and understand and analyze it,

Then the difficulty of awakening the Power of Rock this time will be greatly reduced.

"."

".Speaking of which, in Apep's opinion, the lack of control over authority doesn't seem to be a big problem worth mentioning."

". And the solution it provides is also quite dragon-like."

Through the power of the rock, sinking into the earth veins,
While Lin Feng was arranging the place he would use when he awakened, he also complained helplessly about Apep's solution:
——According to this ancient grass dragon, it would be strange for a young elemental dragon to have sufficient control.

If other creatures trespass into the territory without permission and are affected, they can just consider themselves unlucky. No one in the dragon clan, which respects strength, will care about such idiots.

——As for the solution?

It said that there was no need for any solution and that just leaving it there would naturally be enough time for the elemental dragons to grow out of their infancy after a few hundred or thousand years.

"."

Well, I feel like staying away from young elemental dragons was common knowledge in that era.

I shook my head and temporarily put the complaints in my heart out of my mind.
Lin Feng, who was glad that he had completed his further studies with his grandfather, nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the spherical awakening space he had constructed.

——He was very familiar with drilling earth veins, and it didn’t take long to construct an area that could filter out those messy memories.

Unlike last time,
Lin Feng, who already had experience and had done so much preliminary preparation, did not intend to waste any more time.

Notify the companions above who are responsible for mitigating the external impact when the authority awakens in various areas.

Lin Feng also took out the Heart of God borrowed from the old man, as well as the Elemental Dragon Origin that Ruo Tuo had divided.
After adjusting his state, he began this long-awaited awakening in the earth veins.

next moment,
Along with the authority from the Rock Dragon, Lin Feng's long-lost rock elemental authority was filled.
The attraction from the world itself and the repulsion from the laws of nature began to confront each other again.

Keep in mind the reminder from Apep,

Lin Feng, who now has enough power to fight against the world's rejection, does not pay too much attention to the laws that cannot affect him.

Instead, he tried his best to align his will with this land that carries so much life, and to perceive one of the most ancient existences in the world.

The will of the earth itself.
Thinking about how to interpret this very abstract thing, Lin Feng, who has been trying, still can't figure out where to start.

However, in the process of continuously spreading his will along the earth veins without seeing any actual effect,
Suddenly at some point, it was as if the quantitative change had achieved a qualitative change.
Lin Feng, whose body was almost in a sleeping state due to receiving too much information, finally sensed for the first time what the "rhythm of the world" was in his consciousness connected to the earth veins.

next moment,
A kind of almost imperceptible tremor spread out from where he was, spreading from the veins in the desert to the outside world at an extremely fast speed.

Desert, rainforest, ocean.
Xumi, Liyue, Fontaine.
Not only the neighboring countries, but the entire land of Teyvat seemed to have suddenly gained life.
All of them are welcoming the return of the master of this vacant law in a slow, ancient but extremely coordinated rhythm.
Under such circumstances, Lin Feng, who was under the ground, suddenly felt that his consciousness had become unprecedentedly heavy and broad.

Although it is huge in size, it is full of endless tolerance and peace, with no signs of causing any damage to the outside world.

Finally, I let go of my worries about the destructive power when it awakens.

With a sigh of relief in his heart, he immersed himself wholeheartedly in the memories shared by this land.
