He changed Tiwat

The moment her hand touched the "Eye of Oath," a series of images flashed through her mind.

For the first time, a four-colored fluorescence appeared in the land beneath the eternal night.

The fluorescence comes from the four-colored coral branches covering the white giant snake.

These corals are a unique product not found on the continent of Teyvat—they come from the "Dark Sea," a gift received by the Great Serpent when it ventured into the darker side of the world. For it, carrying coral branches symbolizes power; and losing coral branches results in a corresponding loss of power.

Having lost everything and fled to the "Dark Beyond the Sea," the demon god encountered the abandoned people who had nothing in the abyss.

It made a vow with the boy who was as bright as moonlight, and decided to stay and become their "Orochi-no-Mikoto" and "Umi-no-Omikami".

Orobas broke off all the coral branches from its body and spread them throughout the world below the abyss. The coral branches were its blood and flesh. It used its own blood and flesh as firewood to give the children huddled in the darkness light to illuminate their surroundings.

It then used the broken coral branches to build a ladder, allowing its children to return to the ground and see the sunlight.

Because of the people who look up to him, the serpent god had no choice but to remain in the world he should have fled from, invading lands he should not have set foot in, and fighting enemies he could not contend with... until his divine body and the hills were severed together; until his blood turned into plasma; until his thoughts and power became the "evil spirits" that could never be dispelled.

The power of the three colors flowed into Ying's body along with those memories. At that moment, Ying suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She clenched her fist, raised the "Oath-Witness Eye," and shouted at Helios in the sky: "In the name of the Great God of the Sea, I command you to stop the collapse!"

Chapter 349 The New Sea God, Ying

An invisible wave, accompanied by the sound of fire, spread in all directions. The trembling tower gradually calmed down, and the wildly spinning Helios also returned to stability.

The collapse of Yuanxia Palace has stopped.

Yingmei, who had just "commanded" Fubuki-no-Miya in the name of "Umi-Gi-Omikami," felt a strange and inexplicable feeling in her heart—as if Fubuki-no-Miya, which consisted of several floating islands, was actually a huge living being that could understand her commands and take corresponding actions according to them.

The "Dainichi Kokoro" is the "eyes" and "ears" of this life form, while the ley lines that permeate Fukushita Palace are its "nerves." Her commands are spread through the "Dainichi Kokoro," a tower rooted in the ley lines, along the ley lines of Fukushita Palace, reaching every inch of the palace's land.

This is not a "scientific conclusion" based on any known experience or logic; it is purely Ying's "intuition."

But Ying inexplicably believed in this "intuition".

She was quite certain that the entire Abyss Palace was now under her control—it seemed that the moment she grasped the "Eye of Oath," she became the "Queen" of the Abyss Palace.

Han Fulai and Shenzi were both staring at Ying at this moment.

In their eyes, the current Ying is a completely different entity from the Ying of a few seconds ago.

To put it more clearly, Ying possessed an aura of "majesty" befitting a "high-ranking being"—similar to the "divine might" of a demon god or the "dragon might" of a dragon king. All beings weaker than her had to submit to her majesty.

Although this aura was not particularly aggressive, it clearly exuded an undeniable presence.

As a time traveler, Han Fulai has never been very sensitive to things like "spiritual pressure" or "aura". He has never felt pressure from people like Oser or Bache, and he has even taken a ride on Dvalin's "Didi Dalong" without feeling anything.

Only when one reaches the level of Zhongli and Lei Yingdian, the "Seven Rulers of the Mortal World," especially Lei Yingdian's murderous gaze at that time, could one experience the chilling terror that made one break out in a cold sweat.

The aura emanating from Ying is slightly weaker than that of Zhongli and Ying, but it is still enough for him to feel it – which means that Ying is now above him in both power and "rank".

In other words...

Han Fulai clapped his hands lightly and smiled, "Congratulations, Ying. You have just successfully 'ascended to godhood'. I think you have now inherited the divine status of Orobas and become the new 'Great God of the Sea'."

"what?"

Ying and Paimon both showed the same "confused.jpg" expression.

Paimon circled around Luminescent again and again, examining her carefully from top to bottom: "Um... Luminescent, why do I feel like you haven't changed much since then?"

Ying also looked confused. She first clenched her fists, then stomped her foot, and finally pulled open her collar to peek inside—

"...Nothing has changed."

Adhering to the principle of "do not look at what is improper," Han Fulai looked away and coughed lightly: "The change may not appear on the surface, but rather in the power within the body... such as the ability to fly... or something like that?"

"Huh? I can fly?" Ying was overjoyed and jumped up on the spot.

As an adventurer, Ying had envied Paimon countless times for being able to fly. If she could fly, would she still care about those mazes and traps in the secret realm? Moreover, flying is faster than running, so she could travel to various countries by flying without having to endure wind and rain all the way. That would be amazing!

Yes, her jumping ability is much higher than that of ordinary people. Jumping four or five feet high on the spot is an easy thing for her. The fluttering skirt made Han Fulai have to keep his eyes down and tell himself that he did not see the pure white fabric with a small bow...

No matter how high you jump, you will eventually fall back to the ground.

Yingmei looked disappointed: "...It still can't fly."

Paimon secretly breathed a sigh of relief—great! If she had any advantages over Luminous, it was only that she could fly. If Luminous could fly too, it would make her seem even more like a freeloader…

Han Fulai lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "Then try to sense it again. Is there some unfamiliar power within your body, or some power that can't be seen from the outside? I guess that power is related to the ocean..."

After inheriting the remnants of the Salt God, he obtained the power of "salt". Therefore, when Ying inherited the divine status of "Umi-no-Omikami", he should also obtain the power related to "ocean".

Upon hearing his words, Ying immediately began to try to gather the elemental power within her body, and after a moment she found a "surprise": "I can use the power of the water element now!"

Han Fulai nodded with satisfaction. As a "half-god, half-immortal" who carried the "remnants of the demon god," he was a veteran in the study of the demon god's powers. All the hints he gave were based on his own experience and naturally hit the nail on the head.

A tiny water ball had already formed at Ying's fingertip, bouncing and swaying with the movement of her fingers, just like a lively little slime.

Paimon stared in astonishment at the small water sphere—they had never been to Fontaine, the territory of the water god, and logically, Luminous shouldn't possess water elemental power.

Is this power the "divine power" that Ying obtained from the "Oath-Witnessing Eye"?

The divine child whispered in Han Fulai's ear, "This power... is it the 'Seven Transformations of the Serpent'?"

With her keen eyesight, she could naturally see that the water element condensed by Ying was not ordinary elemental power, but a peculiar power that was essentially similar to elemental power but not quite, and carried a hint of abyss.

Han Fulai nodded silently: "Aurobas is a rock-elemental demon god, and Luminous itself possesses the power of rock element, so the change is not obvious. However, Aurobas lives in the sea, and the power that drives the deep-sea creatures should be 'otherworldly power,' which is more obvious, so Luminous noticed it."

Ying was enthusiastically testing her newly acquired "divine power".

With a flick of her finger, a water ball shot out from her fingertip and slammed into the ground with a "plop," splashing up a spray of water.

The ground that was hit by the water ball was left with a... a wet mark.

"Uh...is that all?" Paimon asked.

Ying nodded heavily: "That's all."

Generally, she would give her newly acquired skills some cool names, such as "Wind Breath Rising", "Starfall Sword", "Thunder and Lightning Spin" and so on... But for this new skill, Ying really couldn't think of a cool name.

If she had played a famous Nintendo game, she would probably name this skill "Splash Jump"...

Paimon and Ying both looked at Han Fulai's face at this moment, their gazes clearly expressing their disapproval: "'Sea Goddess'? That's it?"

Chapter 350 The wind took away time and brought freedom

Han Fulai smiled helplessly.

The demons on the continent of Teyvat require the "power of will" of humans.

The power of demons generally follows the rule that the more subjects they have, the more "wishes" they receive, and the stronger their abilities become.

More than two thousand years have passed since Orobas died, and there are very few Sea Gods who still hold firm faith in Orobas—and those people are basically the "radicals" in the resistance army, who were wiped out by him and Xin Hai in the recent period of time.

The faith of most of the islanders of Haiqi is less for the serpent god Oropas and more for the "human god priestess" Xinhai...

Ultimately, Haiqi Island is just a small force with a population of about ten thousand. Even if all ten thousand people were fanatically devoted to Haiqi Daimyo, they could not gather a strong force. Orobas himself is not a very strong demon god.

Moreover, Ying has only just inherited the divine status of Orobas from the "Oath of the Bright Eyes," and has not yet fully absorbed it, so the power she can exert is even more limited.

The reason why Kong Ge tried so hard to bring Ying into the "Abyss Cult" was actually because he considered the factor of "faith".

Anyone who possesses a divine status can absorb "wisdom" to become stronger. For the entire fanatical group of the "Abyss Order," collecting "wisdom" is the easiest thing for them. Moreover, if Ying could become the "Abyss Princess," she might even be able to obtain "wisdom" from all the remnants of Kanria, including the Hilichurls.

Furthermore, since the "Seven Transformations of the Serpent" is itself a "power from outside the world," the "Abyss Order" must possess corresponding cultivation methods. If Ying could join the "Abyss Order," her strength would undoubtedly advance by leaps and bounds.

Of course, none of these things matter to Ying right now.

She has chosen to walk her own path.

For Ying, the greatest significance of this "legacy" from Orobas is that it gives her another way to absorb "willpower" and become stronger; everything else is just an add-on.

When Han Fulai first obtained the remnants of the Salt God, all he could do was add some "divine salt" to Shen He's longevity noodles for seasoning... which was not as good as Ying's "Water Splash".

The salt god's power he possessed was gradually strengthened in the process of practicing his own way.

Speaking of which, he obtained the divine status of the Salt God after having a heart-to-heart talk with Zhongli in the "Salt in the Earth"—but Ying obtained the divine status of Aurobas simply by touching the "Eye of Oath"... How can the difference between people be so great?

So Han Fulai simply explained, "When I absorbed the remnants of the Salt God, the power I could use wasn't very strong. The key to making that power stronger lies in what you've done."

"Luminous, you just need to travel across this land of Teyvat as before, do what you want to do, and you will naturally become stronger—because your journey will surely leave a deep mark on this world."

"My...footprints?" Ying seemed to understand but not quite, tilting her head.

Han Fulai nodded solemnly: "Yes. Your footprints are in history books and in people's hearts."

Ying inexplicably felt that his words seemed to be addressed to her, but also to himself.

Although she didn't quite understand yet, Ying smiled and nodded.

Anyway, she'll definitely find the answer she's looking for at the end of her journey.

Ying's "ascension to godhood" is complete, while Han Fulai's "ascension to godhood" has only just begun.

He handed the "bridle" to Ying as well, and said, "Now that the 'Great Sun Imperial Carriage' is under your control, let the final step of the 'Triangle Road Festival' be completed by you, the new 'Umi-Gi Great God'."

Ying held the "rudder" but didn't know what to do. Han Fulai smiled and said, "Hold this 'rudder' and order Helios to switch the Abyss Palace to 'White Night' and connect the three 'Virtual Towers' at the same time."

“You should be able to sense the distribution of the ‘Three Realms Power’ in the Abyss Palace more accurately than I can now. Therefore, it will be up to you to balance the Three Realms Power and reverse the ‘Holy Land Transformation’.”

Yingyi grasped the "bridle" as instructed, and once again entered the state of being connected with the Abyss Palace—Helios's core cube spun rapidly again, releasing even more intense light and heat.

The three "Virtual Realm Towers" located in the three corners of the triangle once again shone towards the "Great Sun Imperial Carriage".

Three bridges of light connect the entire Abyss Palace.

A golden pillar of light shot into the sky, and the white night descended.

Helios's power of light did not pour out instantly, but rather surged like a living tide, flowing step by step along the spiraling rune grooves of the tower.

For every inch of the tower wall that the light passed through, a new branch would sprout from the coral attached to it. When the light penetrated deep into the ground, the entire "Dairi Mikoto" was wrapped in huge coral branches, resembling a giant tree.

—If an experienced adventurer were to look from afar, they might discover that the shape of this “giant tree” is exactly the same as the “silver-white ancient tree” in the secret realm.

The power of light flowed into the earth's veins, and miracles began to bloom in every inch of the decaying soil of the Abyss Palace.

The "coral kings," once eroded by the black fog and forced into hibernation, are awakening one after another, and specks of fluorescence appear on the decaying coral skeletons. The reefs, eroded to a grayish-white color, also regain their four-colored brilliance at this moment.

Further away, at the edge of the Abyss Palace, in what is known as the "Dragon Lizard Realm," a roaming herd of dragon lizards suddenly raised their heads and roared in unison. The serpent-eyed priestess turned around abruptly and saw that beam of light shooting into the sky.

The golden light inexplicably reminded her of a strand of beautiful blonde hair and a pair of amber-gold eyes.

"fluorescent……"

The serpent-eyed priestess murmured the name, a slight smile unconsciously creeping onto her lips.

At the same time, Han Fulai looked at the Divine Child: "Divine Child, let's begin too."

The shrine maiden smiled gently, took out the "True Meaning of Kagura" from her wide sleeve, and began to dance the "Dance of Kagura":

"I hereby inform Bai Chen of the reason for suppressing the soul."

"Allow me to offer my blessings, and guide the lamp homeward."

"We are filled with awe and fear of divine might..."

The sound of the bell was mournful and plaintive.

Unbeknownst to Han Fulai, a "musical instrument"—a golden pipe organ—had appeared in his arms.

Those were the Wind Wings that Wendy gave him, "Wings of Starlight".

His fingers touched the strings of the Wind Wings, and a melodious piano sound rang out.

In sync with the goddess's dance steps, Han Fulai sang the "Song of the Wind":

"The land is shattered, and the world is scarred."

The gods passed by, and their traces vanished.

Seeking poetry in lamentation, seeking dreams in prison.

Undeterred by worldly troubles and barriers, undaunted by the darkness ahead.

Spring flowers bloom again, and eagles soar through the blue sky.

The wind sings its song, and freedom arrives.

The silver light of time, accompanied by the sounds of bells and zithers, resounded throughout the land of Yuanxia Palace.

All the spirits of the world who look up at the "Great Sun Palace" are listening to the same song at this moment.

A sudden gust of wind arose in the Yuanxia Palace.

A very gentle, warm breeze.

The "Undying Wind" of the "Great God of the Eternal World" caressed everything in the Abyss Palace equally, whether alive or dead.

The singing stopped, and all the "spirits of the mortal world" vanished in the wind.
