Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

"This is the product of the condensation of life consciousness and the sedimentation of the self. If you find this a bit convoluted, you might as well understand it as the manifestation of emotions and thoughts that are most difficult for ordinary people to understand."

Although Su Feng explained, Ying still had several question marks on her head after hearing this. She couldn't help but exchange a glance with Paimon beside her, and then she saw that Paimon's big eyes had started to dart around.

Hmm, it seems it's not that her comprehension is lacking.

Ying felt a little relieved after seeing that her guide was even less knowledgeable than she had.

"Hmm... If you still can't understand it, then think of it as a power unique to mortals, except that the gathering and emergence of this power requires the sacrifice and destruction of countless lives."

"Let's just leave this thing here. After being mixed with the consciousness of countless lives from a civilization, this pool of water is no longer something that ordinary people can use. At most, it can only be used to make it instinctively unleash a certain amount of power, like what the Abyss Order did before. Its usefulness is limited."

Ying's mind was full of questions, which naturally did not escape Su Feng's notice. Even Dain, who had just arrived, and Xiao, who had been there from the beginning, were also full of doubts. However, these two usually had very few changes in their expressions, so it was not so obvious.

Realizing that his explanation was not being understood, Su Feng scratched his head and then tried a different way of explaining.

He no longer expected them to understand much; he only hoped that this explanation would let them know just how terrifying the cruelty hidden behind this power truly was.

After all, this power is the last remnant of this civilization, and a civilization that has been annihilated is still worth commemorating.

Let this pool of spring water flow slowly here; after all, no one can utilize its power.

However, the technology behind this power... perhaps we could consider it?

Chapter Thirty-Three: Arriving at the Location of the Light Nail

Although Su Feng really wanted to figure out the specific construction method of this pool and also wanted to analyze some technologies that he might be able to use, unfortunately he didn't have much time to study this lost mysterious power.

After all, they still have a fallen dragon king at their feet who hopes to cause a big stir in the whole of Teyvat!

So in the end, Su Feng had no choice but to temporarily give up his idea of ​​becoming a researcher of the ruins and instead prepare to become a miner or archaeologist to excavate the big guy below.

Of course, if the other party tries to rise from the dead or if some unofficial archaeological team is active during the excavation, Su Feng will also be responsible for dealing with these unfortunate things.

Well, thinking about it this way, the things that both sides need to do are actually quite similar. The only difference is whether they have obtained official authorization or whether their ultimate goals are different.

“I have already asked the mortals to leave this place for the time being. From now on, we will have to make our own way. The only one who will join us is this lady who seems to want to know something from the depths of the Abyss of Laminaria.”

After seeing that the crowd had gathered, Su Feng decisively explained the current situation. The other three people present had no objections to this – to them, the role that mortals could play was indeed quite limited, and letting them evacuate now would reduce some of the casualties later.

As for Ye Lan's sudden decision to join the operation, it didn't cause too much of a stir. After all, Ye Lan had acted with them before. Although they weren't exactly close, they weren't completely unaware of each other's backgrounds.

Ye Lan's strength is indeed quite good.

"Then let's set off quickly. There are some things I'd like to confirm as well."

Xiao nodded after glancing at Yelan, who had appeared beside them at some point. He didn't know what Yelan wanted to search for below, but he also wanted to know who the Yaksha who had sacrificed himself in the Layered Rock Abyss hundreds of years ago was.

Everyone has their own secrets and things they want to know, so let's not say too much.

'Brother Fushe, could it be you?'

Perhaps inspired by Yelan, Xiao couldn't help but think this as he looked deeper into the layered rocks. He so desperately wanted to receive some news, even if it wasn't good news.

After all, he didn't think his missing older brother could still be alive. Now, his only hope was to find out where his brother was and what his final fate was—as for whether his brother had died quietly in some corner?

Ah, they are Yakshas! Those are the Dharma Protector Yakshas, ​​Tengshe, Grand Marshal Fushe!

How could they possibly be willing to live a life of ignominy, or to die a worthless death in some corner?

Although Xiao's longing wasn't outwardly displayed, it was keenly noticed by the people around him. They exchanged glances, but in the end, no one wanted to point it out—who among them didn't have some secrets? Even Paimon, who seemed the most clueless, probably harbored a huge secret as well.

Well, judging from Paimon's expression, she really didn't know anything. After all, no one would think that this little guy was the kind of person with deep thoughts.

"Let's move on first. After all, we're still a bit far from our final destination, so we can't afford to slack off."

After everyone who was going to join the final operation had arrived, Su Feng decisively suggested that they start immediately. No one had any objections to this, and they all knew that now was not the time to waste time.

......

Whether it was because the Abyss Order had pulled off a major attack earlier, or because they noticed that the mortals weren't advancing but instead starting to plant moon lotuses everywhere, Su Feng and his group didn't encounter many obstacles on their journey. As for the mindless monsters that occasionally appeared, they weren't even considered obstacles by the group.

The group of people traveling together were all quite powerful. Ordinary monsters were not worth their attention. Moreover, without the obstruction of beings at the level of Abyss Apostles, these monsters that were everywhere could not even slightly hinder their actions.

But this unusual situation also aroused everyone's vigilance.

Su Feng didn't think the Abyss Order would give up so easily, but no one knew what the Abyss Order was planning to do, so in the end they could only deal with it as it came in the unclear situation.

"As expected, the Abyss Order will definitely not let this place go. The entire Sky Nail is almost buried by these guys?"

Without any obstruction, they quickly arrived at the location of the Sky Nail, where they saw a large amount of abyssal silt that had almost completely covered the Sky Nail.

If it weren't for the tiny bit of light still filtering through the silt, Su Feng might have thought these guys had already taken care of the Sky Nail.

"Is this what you call the Sky Nail? Is it the same thing that appeared on Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain recently?"

"But how did this thing end up here?"

As the one who knew the fewest secrets about the world among everyone, Yelan couldn't help but feel puzzled after seeing the Sky Nail, which was covered by abyssal silt and whose shape could only be seen in a little bit.

So this thing exists deep within the Abyss of Layered Rocks?

However, no one answered Ye Lan's question for the time being, as everyone's attention was focused on the Heavenly Nail.

"Let me free this thing first. It seems the resources in the abyss are much greater than we imagined. A great battle is probably in the works!"

Although it is still uncertain what the people of the Abyss are planning, since they have invested such a huge amount of money to seal the Heavenly Nail, they must be preparing something big.

Su Feng's body slowly floated up, and then beams of almost icy light gradually emanated from his body—at this moment, he seemed to have transformed into a cold, bright moon hanging deep underground.

The light energy emanating from him transformed into pure power, illuminating the abyssal silt that had almost completely filled the area. The silt, which had already been treated by the light nails, vanished without a trace when faced with the pure and powerful light energy. As Su Feng's power spread, the celestial nails that had been covered by the silt gradually became visible to everyone.

"Buzz!"

Perhaps sensing the primordial light energy emanating from Su Feng, the newly released Heavenly Nail immediately became active, with wisps of divine power gradually spreading out from it.

Soon, Su Feng felt the Heavenly Nail constantly pulling at him – the nail seemed to be trying to absorb his power and turn it into its own.

Wow! Is this some kind of unconventional approach?

Then he won't hold back!

After realizing that the Heavenly Nail was trying to absorb his power, Su Feng unconcernedly gave the Heavenly Nail a huge gift of light energy. Under his control, a dazzling, even blinding, burst of light energy was extracted and then floated gently onto the Heavenly Nail.

The next moment, the brightness of the entire Heavenly Nail suddenly increased several levels, and then, to everyone's astonishment, a crack suddenly appeared on the open ground below the Heavenly Nail.

"Brother Fushe! You really are here!"

After the crack appeared, Xiao, sensing something, suddenly looked up.

Chapter Thirty-Four: This thing was actually converted from civilian to military use?

"What place is that?"

After Su Feng landed from the sky, Xiao was the first to raise his question. Although he could sense his elder brother's presence from the suddenly appearing spatial rift, Xiao was no fool.

Although he was certain that the aura was real, the place that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere didn't seem like a place one could just wander into.

This is not the time for him to be willful. The most important thing now is to deal with the crisis facing Liyue. Everything else must be put aside for the time being. So he could only ask Su Feng what the situation was.

"That's a space connected to the Heavenly Nail, and also a seal used to isolate the inside from the outside."

"We now need to travel through this space to the true boundary, the true location where the Geo Archon placed and utilized the remains of the Geo Dragon—that is the true boundary of Teyvat."

As Su Feng watched the Sky Nail gradually light up, he explained the itinerary they would be taking next.

"I see."

After receiving a clear answer from Su Feng, Xiao nodded and remained silent. Although he was eager to know what had happened to Brother Fu She here, Xiao managed to control his emotions.

As the last remaining active guardian yaksha, Xiao knows exactly what he should and should do.

"Then let's get going, we don't have that much time to waste."

Although he was quite uncomfortable when he saw the Sky Nail, Dain still suppressed his emotions and prepared to continue the journey, after all, he hoped to prevent his former kin from causing any more major trouble.

Teyvat really can't take any more setbacks, and Canria can't keep making the same mistakes.

"There's no need to rush. My power isn't something you can easily absorb. Let's wait until I can exert enough influence on this Heavenly Nail."

"Besides, if we can't move the Heavenly Nail, there's no point in rushing into this space. Otherwise, why would the Rock God have placed such a space here?"

"This space can be considered a kind of blockade and defense for the border. If we rush in directly, we will have to fight against its own defense mechanism first, which would be a waste of our strength."

Compared to the others who were a little anxious, Su Feng was much calmer. Moreover, he was now focusing most of his attention on the Sky Nail. After solving the problem, the Sky Nail from the snow mountain had returned to the high sky. Su Feng felt quite regretful after missing out on the Sky Nail.

Now that they finally have a Heavenly Nail, it hastily swallowed their Light Realm Power. If Su Feng doesn't put in more effort to get the Heavenly Nail back, wouldn't that be a huge waste?

After all, the person has already been delivered to our doorstep. Besides, it's too much trouble to break the seal—it's dangerous and time-consuming. If possible, it would be much more comfortable to directly obtain the administrator or even the manufacturer's permissions for the seal.

It must be said that the Sky Nail is indeed a pretty good weapon—although it looks like a pillar of a building on Sky Island, and even gives the illusion that it was just broken off, it actually has quite a few uses.

Su Feng's Light Sphere Force, in appearance and even in perception, is not much different from the Primal Light Sphere Force that once filled Teyvat. According to the Sky Nail program, this level of Light Sphere Force can be directly used with just a slight transformation. Even the Primal Light Sphere Force of dragon kings like the Primal Rock Dragon has little power to resist when facing the Sky Nail.

After all, Tenri is now the ruler of Teyvat. Even the Dragon Lords were at most administrators in the original Teyvat, and now they have been demoted. So they really have no ability to resist Tenri, who has completely mastered the source code.

This sense of powerlessness, stemming from a deeper source, is precisely the reason why the corrupted Rock Dragon King chose to fall.

The earth has already borne far too much pain and disaster, and as the embodiment of the earth's veins, it has lost even the power to resist. Since that is the case, it will completely fall into the deeper darkness and then annihilate everything in one breath!

When all disasters and their perpetrators have perished, the earth will always rise again.

Well... after saying all that, the main point is that because the Celestial Principle has reached a very deep level of control over Teyvat, Sky Spikes can often be replenished directly using Teyvat's own power. It can even draw upon the souls, memories, and emotions of living beings as a source of power when necessary. However, the best way to replenish it is still through the power of the Light Realm.

The power of light in the wilderness is still the power of light!

So, after sensing Su Feng's power, the nearly exhausted Heavenly Nail immediately prepared to have a good 'feast'.

Unfortunately, the clueless Tian Ding had no idea that he had eaten a poisoned candy.

Teyvat was indeed completely controlled by the laws of nature, but Su Feng's Savage Light Dimension Power was not produced by Teyvat itself, but was directly transformed from the imaginary energy he absorbed. It was something that simply used a Light Dimension Power template.

Although their uses and appearances are almost identical, Tianli's backend program actually has no control over Su Feng's side.

Soon, everyone saw a pure, cool white light gradually spreading across the surface of the Sky Nail, and the crystals that had been shimmering with pale blue light were gradually tinged with pure white light in everyone's sight.

"Phew~ It really lives up to its name as a patch for repairing the world. If I hadn't been prepared for my situation at the beginning, it would have been really difficult to handle."

After the pure white light completely enveloped the Heavenly Nail, Su Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. But soon he was delighted to see the Heavenly Nail in front of him, which was just a different color. Although it looked like just a different color, Su Feng had actually temporarily blackened the Heavenly Nail.

Only after he officially brought the Sky Spikes under his control did he realize that these Sky Spikes used to repair the world were truly... simple and brutal.

Because the largest component of the entire Sky Nail is actually a device for collecting and disseminating light force—its main function is to diffuse the light force stored inside in various forms and frequencies to form a light force barrier that mortals can or cannot perceive within a certain range.

Other functions, such as suppressing ley lines, repairing world barriers, and converting and disinfecting knowledge of the abyss and forbidden knowledge, are all inherent means and effects of the Light Realm Power. Apart from being sturdy and able to collect Light Realm Power from the mortal realm, the only other function of the Heavenly Nail is to tune the Light Realm Power to convert it!
