He changed Tiwat

The wind takes away time and brings freedom.

As the bell tolled, the goddess turned her head slightly to look at her god.

She recalled what he had said at the "Temple of Everlasting Night":

“I’ve come here to ‘ascend to godhood.’ If I’m going to become a god, of course I have to save these suffering people, don’t I?”

He always does what he says he will do.

Chapter 351 Bringing Light to Our Descendants [5k5]

"Are you alright?" The ceremony had just ended, and the first thing the divine child did was to ask about Han Fulai's condition.

The two of them had just jointly performed a "soul-pacifying ceremony" that covered the entire Yuanxia Palace, releasing the "spirits of the mortal world" who were bound within the Yuanxia Palace.

But Han Fulai did more than that.

Only the divine child knows the magnitude of what Han Fulai just did.

—He modified the "rules" of the Abyss Palace.

The Earthwalker Yaliu once told them that there was a law in the Abyss Palace that "sins leave their mark because of their sins." Those "spirits of the mortal world" were chosen by the laws of the Abyss Palace to form "sin shadows" because of their excessively strong emotions or sins in life.

Furthermore, Aru specifically warned them not to reveal the truth to the "spirits of the world," because "knowing one's sins is not a sin." If the "spirits of the world" knew that they were dead, they might vanish on the spot.

Han Fulai initially believed Ya Liu's statement, after all, he was a newcomer and did not know the overall situation of Yuanxia Palace.

When he first arrived in Mondstadt, Yura also gave him a lecture about "Mondstadt's unique national conditions." It's perfectly reasonable that the Kingdom of White Night has its own distinct national conditions.

But when he arrived at the "Temple of the Evernight," he encountered the lingering spirit of Abe no Yoru and the female official Kuri Maeyu who cared for the "Son of the Sun," and realized that something was wrong.

"Spirits of the Eternal World" are definitely not just simple "images"—on the way to Shadow Mountain with Shadow, they had seen many images of the earth's veins, which were completely different from these "Spirits of the Eternal World".

The ley lines are much clearer than the "spirits of the mortal world". Some powerful human or demon race ley lines can even use the power of their previous life, which is completely different from the "spirits of the mortal world" in the Abyss Palace whose figures and memories are blurred.

He even discovered the power of the "seeds of time" in Kyuri Yuma and those "sons of the sun".

...That's even stranger.

Those who live under the "Order of Heaven" have their souls return to the ley lines after death, and then "reincarnate." Leyline images are a byproduct of the Teyvat continent's cycle of life and death; the "information" left inside the ley lines after their souls return to the ley lines becomes leyline images.

This is similar to sending a file using a chat application. The file backup will be saved on the software server for a period of time. The so-called "earth vein image" is that "file backup that is retained on the server for a limited time".

It's just a matter of storing a backup of the transferred files on the server. Is it really necessary to use the power of "time"?

And you used the power of "time," so how come the files are still worn out like this, and the modeling is all blurry?

So he tried to use his power of "time" to help those "spirits of the mortal world" be liberated, and at the same time confirmed the truth of the matter—

"Sin Shadow" refers to the human soul.

Becoming a "shadow of sin" actually means "the soul is trapped in the abyss, never to be reborn."

Later, in the "Land of the Serpent's Heart," he encountered Spartacus, who had led the slave revolt. After Spartacus's revolt failed, his soul was imprisoned and tortured by the nobles of the White Night Kingdom, to the point that he couldn't even remember his own name... These are very typical symptoms of a soul being "worn out."

While using the power of "time" to liberate Spartacus, he also saw the face of Spartacus's soul.

At that time, he confirmed that after death, the citizens of Baiye would become the spirits of the "Eternal World" and would not be able to return to the earth's ley lines.

To put it bluntly, most people in the White Night Kingdom become "bound spirits" or "wandering ghosts" after death, unable to be reincarnated, and can only let their souls slowly wear away.

This is related to the unique geographical location of the White Night Kingdom.

The Kingdom of White Nights was accidentally plunged into this abyss during the "Battle of Burial Fire".

"The Abyss" is not the ocean on the continent of Teyvat, but rather, "the Dark Sea beyond".

The reason why Orobas, who fled to the "Dark Outer Sea" to escape the war between demons, accidentally ended up in the Abyss Palace is because the Abyss Palace was originally located in the "Dark Outer Sea"!

According to the "Previous Events of the Sun and Moon," the Heavenly Principle enveloped the continent of Teyvat with a "False Heaven" and then transformed the interior of the continent into the "Human Realm," a place suitable for human life.

The defeated dragons fled to the "Dragon Lizard Realm," also known as the "Realm of Light."

In reality, both the "Light Realm" and the "Virtual Realm" are outside the "False Heaven" and are worlds that do not belong to humankind.

The Abyss Palace was originally part of the "Light Realm," but it was occupied by dragon lizards and is an extraterrestrial land that is fundamentally unsuitable for human habitation.

This is also the root cause of Haiqi Island's suffering from "holy landification," because Yuanxia Palace itself is located in the "Light Realm," a place filled with wild elements.

The Abyss Palace is connected to the Sea God Island. Those wild elements spread from the Abyss Palace to the Sea God Island, just like water flowing downhill, an unstoppable natural phenomenon.

Istaru took pity on these innocent and suffering people and used her power to transform the land of the Abyss Palace, connecting a small piece of Teyvat "ley line" in the "Light Sphere" to create a "Human World" for the people of the White Night Kingdom to live in.

She then taught Abe no Ryūki how to create the "Great Sun Imperial Carriage," helping the people of Byakuya obtain the energy they needed for life and balancing the power of the three realms in the Abyss Palace, thus enabling the people of Byakuya to survive in this "Dark Outer Sea."

However, it is clear that Ishtar's actions violated the Sky Isles' prohibitions. She should have allowed these humans who had fallen into the "outside world" to fend for themselves, and the fact that she had connected the Teyvat ley lines for the White Night Kingdom should not have been discovered by the Sky Isles.

If we compare Teyvat's "ley lines" to the "Internet," then Ishtar is essentially like secretly laying a fiber optic cable underwater to connect the people of the White Night Kingdom to the Internet, with Sky Island paying for the internet... This matter naturally has to be kept secret.

So Istaru used her power to establish a rule for this "Eternal Kingdom," namely the rule of the "Eternal Spirit."

The special rule of the "Eternal Spirits" is that Ishtar built a "wall" that prevents the souls in the Lower Palace from entering the ley lines of Teyvat.

—The “overseas website” Yuanxia Palace does not exist at the official level of Sky Island. How could it be allowed to transfer files to Sky Island’s servers and expose its existence?

As a result, after the people of the White Night Kingdom die, they can only "recycle" within the "local area network" of the Abyss Palace and cannot connect to the "Internet" of Teyvat.

In this life I am a citizen of the White Night Kingdom, and in the next life I will still be a citizen of the White Night Kingdom. I will be born a citizen of the White Night Kingdom, and I will die a ghost of the White Night Kingdom.

The reason why the "Spirit of the Eternal World" carries the power of "time" is precisely because the cycle of life and death in the White Night Kingdom is maintained by Ishtar's power, and it is a different system from the "False Heaven".

In programmer terms, Teyvat is a normal system environment, while the White Night Kingdom is a virtual machine environment created by Ishtar, which is completely isolated from the Teyvat system.

Of course, compared to falling into the "dark outer sea" and dying as a whole, living in the "local area network" isn't so bad; at least you're still alive, right?

However, everything has two sides.

While Teyvat's leyline "internet" monitors everything in the world, it also means that everything is maintained by the Sky Isles. At least the reliability of this system is higher than that of a "local area network" created by a single Sky Isle ruler.

The White Night Kingdom's "local area network," which relied entirely on Ishtar, lost its maintenance capabilities after Ishtar's disappearance, and its self-circulation also encountered obstacles.

Many "spirits of the world" cannot enter the self-circulation and can only remain as "shadows of sin," essentially becoming "wandering ghosts" who suffer eternal torment.

Upon discovering this, the high-ranking nobles of the White Night Kingdom took advantage of this obstacle to the cycle of souls, turning "rebirth" into a privilege reserved for the nobility.

They possess the knowledge left behind by Istaru, and can use the "Requiem Ritual" to allow the souls of the dead to enter the cycle normally. The "Requiem Ritual" mastered by the court lady Juri Yumai is a "privilege" known only to the high-ranking officials of the White Night Kingdom.

This is also why there isn't a single "sinful shadow" of a high-ranking nobleman in the entire Yuanxia Palace; these people certainly wouldn't allow their souls to suffer like those of commoners after death.

They even abused this rule to retaliate against warriors who wanted to overthrow aristocratic rule, tormenting their souls. Abe no Yoshihisa, Spartacus, and others were victims of aristocratic rule.

Those short-sighted nobles did not realize that if their rule continued, it would only lead to the destruction of the White Night Kingdom.

The Kingdom of White Night was once a prosperous civilization, and its population should not be as sparse as that of the Sea Island today.

The biggest factor contributing to the sharp decline in the population of the White Night Kingdom was not only war, hunger, and poverty, but also the unsustainability of the "soul self-circulation" of the Abyss Palace.

Without the cycle of souls, the number of newborns in Yuanxia Palace will only decrease.

During the reign of the seventh "Son of the Sun," Miyubesu, Orobas broke into the Fuchishita Palace.

Together with the first "Sea God Envoy" Umei, it overthrew the regime of the "Son of the Sun," and later built Sea God Island, leading the Sea God people back to the "Order of Heaven," thus ending the abnormal cycle in the Abyss Palace.

Even Orobas was powerless to deal with the "shadows of sin" left over from that time. As a result, the "shadows of sin" left over from the era of the "Son of the Sun" have been enduring "wear and tear" in the Abyss Palace ever since.

until today.

Until Han Fulai liberated them.

While Ying was activating the "Great Sun Imperial Carriage" to balance the power of the three realms in the Abyss Palace and activate the "Coral King Insect," Han Fulai was absorbing the power of "time" left behind by Istaru and modifying the "rules" of the Abyss Palace.

He demolished the "walls" of Yuanxia Palace.

The Lower Palace is no longer an isolated island in the Lower World; from now on, it will be completely connected to the ley lines of Teyvat and become a part of this world.

All the people of Yuanxia Palace, whether from the past or present, whether alive or dead, will return to their homeland.

—As Aji said, “A person belongs to the place where he was born.”

Han Fulai gave the Divine Child a strained smile: "Don't worry, I can still manage. There's still something I need to do."

His "ascension to godhood" is not yet over.

The inscription on the "imperial bridle" points to his path to godhood—

"I am Alpha, I am Omega, I am the one who was, is, and will be."

In the Greek alphabet, "alpha" is the first letter, and "omega" is the last letter. The Bible, on Earth, uses this as a description of God.

The inscription, translated into plain language, means "I am the beginning, I am the end, I am the eternal one who transcends time."

The "Great God of the Eternal World" and "Time Ruler" Ishtar, worshipped by the people of White Night, truly fits the description of "an eternal being who transcends time."

Han Fu came to Yuanxia Palace to absorb the power left behind by "Time Ruler" and the godhood he wanted to achieve was "Great God of the Eternal World"... or even a godhood above that.

To become the "next Heavenly Justice," he must start at a very high level.

"To become a god and save these suffering people." This was the "great vow" he made in the Kingdom of White Night, and he had to fulfill this "great vow" in order to "ascend to godhood."

The liberation of the people of the White Night Kingdom who had suffered was only part of his "ascension to godhood" ceremony, representing only the part that "was there before".

The people of the White Night Kingdom who are "currently alive" have not yet been truly liberated.

Han Fulai silently regulated his breathing and reached out his hand to Ying.

"Ying, can you help me out?"

Ying happily took his hand.

"Of course!"

“Like this, the land is divided into small ‘grids’, then a drainage ditch is dug next to it, and a large amount of fresh water is poured into the land to wash away the salt in the soil—this is called ‘salt washing’.”

On the ridges of the fields in Wanglong Village, Xin Yan was explaining the methods of soil improvement to Xin Hai in detail.

The "experimental field" where she was located was surrounded by red flags from Liyue, with the slogan of the "Liyue Labor Association" on them: "Haizhi agriculture is underdeveloped, we must support it!"

As the "Propaganda Minister" of the "Liyue Workers' Association" and the leader of the "Red Strings" band, Xin Yan is more than just a rock musician. She has also truly participated in the Guili Plain renovation project with the Liyue workers and has shed sweat in Guili Plain.

Xin Yan was practically an expert in transforming saline-alkali land. Moreover, she had a lively personality and was good at communicating with people, so the workers who came to support Haiqi Island unanimously elected Xin Yan as their worker representative.

Xin Yan is currently explaining soil improvement methods to the islanders of Haiqi Island. Xin Hai, Wu Lang, Uncle Hong, and others are all following beside her, listening attentively to the expert Xin Yan's "lecture" and occasionally taking notes.

Xin Hai raised his hand and offered his opinion: "Miss Xin Yan, your method is good, but it has some difficulties. Haiqi Island is located in the sea and naturally lacks fresh water. Only some deep wells and the inner lake of 'Water Moon Pool' can provide water. I'm afraid the 'salt washing' method will be difficult to implement on a large scale."

Xin Yan nodded: "Yes, Secretary Han also mentioned this to me. According to his plan, he will coordinate with the Inazuma Shogunate to provide some freshwater resources, and I heard him say that we might be able to request the Thunder General to bring rain to the sea spirits if necessary..."

—This was the original plan that Han Fulai had given to Xin Yan. If there was a collaboration with Lei Films, the fresh water used for "washing salt" wouldn't have been a problem; more rain would have solved it.

However, plans can't keep up with changes. When Han Fulai sent a letter to Liyue to ask for help, he never thought that he would propose to the Goddess in front of Ying in a while... Now how could he have the face to ask Lei Yingdian for this favor?

Even if he shamelessly begs, Lei Movie probably won't pay him any attention.

However, Xin Yan was naturally unaware of these changes.

Anyway, Secretary-General Han said that as long as we work hard, there will be plenty of resources. Xin Yan was just conveying the established plan step by step...

Just then, a light flashed before everyone's eyes.

—It is the "Moon Bathing Abyss" in the center of Haiqi Island that is glowing.

A golden ray of light broke through the seal that separated the Abyss Palace from the Sea God Island, and shot straight into the sky!

Everyone's attention was drawn to the golden beam of light.

At that moment, everyone on Haiqi Island looked up at the golden pillar of light.

Two golden figures appeared from the pillar of light rising from the Abyss Palace.

One of them had brilliant blond hair and wielded a longsword shaped like a purple lightning bolt; the other had black hair and a pair of golden wings on his back—they were Ying and Han Fulai.

The two people held hands and flew through the sky, soaring higher and higher until they reached the clouds.

"It's General Ying!"

"And that Han Sheguan too!"

Those among the islanders who recognized the two men began to shout about it.

Ying in the sky wielded her "Mist-Cutting Reflection," the longsword slicing through the air and parting the clouds.

Lightning is brewing in the clouds.

Then, the white clouds suddenly darkened, turning into a deep black, and gathered above Haizhi Island.

The "Reflection of the Mist" contains the divine power of the Thunder God, and the newly appointed "Umi-Gi-Omikami" also possesses the power of the "Umi-Gi".

With the energy provided by the "Great Sun Palace", Ying can now do some amazing things - for example, change the celestial phenomena on a small scale.
