Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

In Teyvat, memory, like emotion and desire, is a very special thing.

The Eye of God is the crystallization of desires, while the elements carry emotions and wishes.

Knowing how Jiang Bai regained his memories might be helpful for his research.

"It's a complicated story, it's related to a place I unexpectedly visited a while ago..."

Jiang Bai recounted what happened in that space and some of Zhong Li's warnings.

After listening, Abedo fell into deep thought.

He only snapped out of his daze when a burnt smell wafted from the pot.

"It happened!"

He quickly took the pot off the fire, and when he opened it, thankfully, it was only slightly burnt.

"Let's eat first."

Jiang Bai was also somewhat helpless. He had been thinking about the problem and hadn't paid attention to the timing.

He himself had many questions about the sudden return of his memories.

Why was his reflection appearing in that space? Was it due to the unique nature of that space itself, or was it deliberately created by the sound?

Jiang Bai leaned towards the latter, since if it was due to the special nature of the space, then Hu Tao couldn't possibly be completely unaware of it while in the same space.

But why was that voice able to help him regain his memories?

It was as if his lost memories had been stored until he retrieved them.

But is that even possible?

What could record his memories, including those from much earlier times, about his homeland and about the stars and the universe?

Or perhaps the voice simply awakened something forgotten in one's mind in some way?

Jiang Bai was filled with doubts.

"Klee, dinner's ready!"

"Here it comes~"

Klee, who was playing with the horse, gave it a few instructions and then came running over.

Their lunch was a thick vegetable stew with meat, a simple dish that was perfect for outdoor cooking.

A sip of hot, thick soup seemed to heal much of the fatigue from a morning's journey.

While eating, Abedo didn't forget to ponder, "What do you think was the purpose of that voice in restoring your memory?"

Regardless of how the memory was recovered, it has now been recovered—that's an undeniable fact.

“I don’t understand either. I don’t even know what that being is, so I have no way of guessing its intentions.” Jiang Bai looked troubled.

"I even wonder if he caused my memories to return, or if I was meant to regain my memories there, and he just happened to be there..."

Aberdo shook his head as well, "There's simply too little information to make any valid inferences. And that space you mentioned could be anything..."

Teyvat has many dangerous and bizarre secret realms, and it wouldn't be difficult to create a space like the one Jiang Bai described. Relying solely on this information for investigation would be far too limited.

"I wish I could go again..."

"I also think that going again might yield some clues."

Jiang Bai felt that going back to that palace again shouldn't be difficult. Although the tomb had collapsed, the entrance was still there.

“I’m very interested in the place you mentioned. Let’s go check it out sometime,” Abedo suggested.

"Okay," Jiang Bai readily agreed.

"However, I feel it's unlikely I'll encounter that Abyss Apostle..."

That space was opened by the Abyss Apostles. If they can't open it, there's probably not much point in them going there.

"What are you talking about?" Claire finished her soup and tilted her head in confusion.

After listening for so long, she still couldn't understand what they were talking about at all.

“We were talking about research…” Jiang Bai handed her a cup of hot milk tea. “Take a break to digest after you’ve eaten. We’re not in a hurry to leave.”

"Oh..." Upon hearing that it was something related to research, Klee immediately stopped paying attention.

It's normal that she doesn't understand Abedo's brother's research because it's too profound.

She held the milk tea, took a big gulp, and the sweet taste spread in her mouth—it was the taste of happiness.

Abedo and Jiang Bai chatted idly for a while, until the conversation drifted to the point of emptiness.

"I asked Kong to do some research last time, and some of his properties are very similar to yours. For example, neither of you needs the Eye of God to manipulate elemental forces, and both of you can master multiple elemental forces..."

"Oh?" Jiang Bai became interested.

"Have you figured out anything from the research?"

Abedo nodded. "He's just like you, very much like the humans of this world. I originally thought that people outside of Teyvat would have other forms, but it seems they're all pretty much the same..."

Jiang Bai shook his head. Whether all humans in the Star Sea are in this form is another matter, but he and Kong are still very different.

“I’m different from him. He can purify the pollution from Dvalin, but I can’t.”

This alone completely distinguishes him from Kong.

Although both are outsiders, this difference creates a mission for the void.

He didn't know what kind of corrupting force was polluting Teyvat, but Teyvat might have a lot of such polluted things that needed to be purified and cleansed.

Perhaps this is why Zhongli said Kong would ascend to the throne of gods.

Perhaps, in the future, even the throne of gods will need him to purify it...

Abedo nodded. At the end of the experiment, he also took Sora to Dulin's heart. Sora was indeed able to purify that filthy power.

But he couldn't figure out exactly how it was purified. The foul power disappeared slowly upon contact with Kong, almost as if it had been absorbed. However, when he examined Kong's body, he found no foul power at all.

He was puzzled by this for a long time, and finally could only attribute it to the special nature of emptiness itself.

"By the way, this is my weapon, Bai Yuan. See if you can figure out anything about it."

"Weapons?" Abedo asked, his voice rising slightly as he looked at the arm armor in his hand, his tone filled with obvious doubt.

Jiang Bai took off the Bai Yuan tattoo from his arm and handed it to him.

As soon as we left Jiang Bai, Bai Yuan seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, and suddenly became gloomy.

It's as if something brand new has suddenly become old and worn by time.

Aberdo observed the changes closely and his interest in studying them was immediately piqued.

Chapter 330 The Unexpected Hilichurl Tribe

He weighed the arm armor, which had little weight, and used alchemy to perform a simple analysis.

Before long, his brows furrowed.

“I have never seen this material before. It is unlike any known metal or ore. I cannot even analyze it in greater depth.”

He rested his chin on his hand. "And once he's away from you, he seems to be affected by the laws of Teyvat, becoming utterly ordinary."

Teyvat is governed by laws, which, though imperceptible in normal times, are undeniably real.

Just like the seed from the starry sea that he had obtained before, no matter what method he used, that seed could not bloom.

That is a manifestation of not adapting to the Teyvat rule.

Later, he imitated the life of emptiness, adding some of his own new ideas, which made the seed bloom.

Jiang Bai's weapon has probably encountered the same situation.

"Could you demonstrate how to use it?" Abedo handed the arm armor back to him.

"no problem."

Jiang Bai took the arm armor, and it seemed to come alive, transforming into a golden longsword in his hand.

Jiang Bai handed the knife to Abedo. This time, it was no longer in the same old, worn-out state as it had been in Jiang Bai's hands. It was exactly the same as it had been when he handed it over.

Feeling the elemental power circulating within the blade, Abed felt a sense of understanding.

"If I'm not mistaken, it was your elemental power that kept it active. It's also because of your elemental power that the law considers it one of its own, thus preventing it from being rejected."

"That should be the case, but the elemental power I input will slowly dissipate. If I want to maintain this state, I need to continuously provide elemental power."

In short, how powerful Bai Yuan can be depends entirely on how much elemental power he provides. If there is only a trace of elemental power, he might not even be able to kill a chicken.

However, if one condenses and continuously concentrates the immense elemental power and pours it into the vessel, then one can achieve a decisive victory with a single strike, just like in the battle between the lady and the prince in the Golden House.

However, if a massive amount of terrifying elemental power were incorporated into it, its power would be no less than that of a missile.

However, on the other hand, if one can already manipulate massive amounts of elemental power, then raising one's hand can cause mountains to collapse and tsunamis to erupt, so whether a single strike has the power of a missile or not is not very meaningful.

"Elements are fluid; dissipation is a normal occurrence. Just like the tables and chairs we condensed using the rock element, if we don't maintain them, they will quickly disappear..."

Once Abedo got into the research, he took out various items and started conducting research right there in the camp.

This research couldn't be completed anytime soon. After telling Keli to play around nearby and not run around, Jiang Bai planned to take this time to visit Dadaupa Valley.

They were some distance from Dadaupa Valley, so Jiang Bai found a teleportation point and teleported to the vicinity of Dadaupa Valley.

Dadaupa Valley is a fairly large valley.

Standing on the hillside and looking into the distance, you can see many primitive-style buildings of the Hittites scattered throughout the valley.

In addition to the simple shacks used for shelter from the wind and rain, there were also various watchtowers, barricades, and wooden walls.

And scattered throughout various places, with patterns painted in oil paint and shaped like animal horns on wooden frames.

If Jiang Bai didn't know that the inhabitants were Hilichurls, he probably would have thought they were a group of primitive people.

From this perspective alone, Hilichurls are clearly a race with great potential.

From an aesthetic point of view, Jiang Bai even felt that those rough wooden frames were quite beautiful.

He quietly entered the valley, avoiding the patrolling Hilichurls.

There are three Hilichurl tribes in Dadaupa Valley, and these tribes occupy different directions.

The northernmost tribe is the Good Meat Tribe, and in their territory there is a very large pot.

This pot is huge; Jiang Bai estimates it could stew three of himself inside.

The boiler is continuously heated by several fiery flowers below.

To prevent companions or other animals from affecting the energy supply of the Flame Flower, the entire space under the pot was sealed off with wooden planks and stones.

Several Hilichurls were gathered around the pot, waiting for the food to cook.

Jiang Bai initially thought it was a stone pot, but upon closer inspection, he discovered it was actually an iron pot.

Jiang Bai couldn't help but click his tongue. Did this mean that the Hilichurls had mastered the smelting of iron?

Or was this pot obtained through some other means?

Jiang Bai didn't disturb the few Qiuqiu people and quietly went around to another place.

He saw a designated area for raising livestock, with several wild boars kept in simple wooden enclosures.

Besides wild boars, the trees that grow fruit trees were also specially designated and were well cared for.

Jiang Bai also saw a specially built fighting arena for venting excess energy.

Jiang Bai didn't linger. After taking a stroll, he headed south to the territory of the Sleepy Clan.

The Hilichurls are as fond of sleeping as their name suggests. Aside from a few patrolling Hilichurls, most are asleep.

They lay in the shade of trees, on the grass, on the stones, and inside houses; their figures could be seen sleeping everywhere.

However, their territory is the largest, and because of their need for sleeping, they have built many more huts to shelter from the wind and rain than the Good Meat tribe. At the same time, this tribe also has the largest population.

Finally, there is the Black Sun tribe located to the east.

Just as Ella said, this tribe was the fiercest and most warlike of the three races.

The Good Meat Clan and the Good Sleep Clan were rather lazy in their patrols; Jiang Bai slipped past them without them noticing. But the Black Sun Clan was different.

The patrolling Hilichurls were all very vigilant, never putting down their weapons.
