Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

The most urgent task is to solve this major problem of meteorites.

Standing before the meteorite, one can feel its astonishing elemental power and will even more strongly.

Jiang Bai felt that the core was a little different from other meteorites. Although they were all blue, the core was brighter in terms of light, and its color was more like the color of the wind element.

Jiang Bai guessed that Leonard must have possessed the Eye of the Wind Element during his lifetime.

"Before clearing it out, I want to see what the stragglers saw inside."

As he spoke, Jiang Bai placed his hand on it.

“I’d like to see too.” Sora placed his hand on it as well.

Seeing that they had all done so, Mona, being an astrologer and someone who knew the stars best, naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass and placed her hand on it as well.

"I wonder if they'll fall asleep too. Let's protect them until they wake up," Hu Tao said to Fischl.

She wasn't very interested in these things, and someone had to keep watch over her to prevent any monsters or Fatui from returning, which would put them in danger.

“Okay.” Fischl nodded and took on the role of protector with Hu Tao.

To Jiang Bai's surprise, he didn't see the starry sky, but instead saw Leonard.

The young adventurer Leonard experienced all sorts of adventures, conquering mountains and oceans, and had already traveled to all the hidden places before he turned forty.

Only the pointed peak, this towering mountain, stood in the way of his life, a mountain he could not conquer.

It was a ferocious beast without any weaknesses, which terrified him.

Once an adventurer loses courage, it is not difficult for them to climb to the top.

He stopped climbing mountains and instead tried to develop tools.

He created the precursor to the Wings of Wind, an unfinished pair of wings.

"As long as one lives, one will eventually reach all visible places."

He left behind unfinished wings, and the hope of reaching the summit.

After watching these clips, Jiang Bai woke up.

This was the first time he had learned that the Windwings had such a story. It turned out that its predecessor was not used for gliding, but was regarded as wings for actual flight, like the feathers of a bird.

However, Leonard did not complete the wings, and the Wings of Wind are not real wings. Only with the help of the wind can they fly high into the sky and over towering mountain peaks.

But what does this have to do with the fact that the sky is a huge lie, as the skirmisher claims?

Did he miss something? Or is there some secret hidden in this scene that he hasn't discovered?

"So, what did you see?"

Seeing that he was awake, Hu Tao asked him curiously.

Jiang Bai told them what he had seen.

Sora and Mona also woke up quickly. When they compared their memories, they found that what they had seen was the same, and it did not involve the starry sky, lies, or anything like that.

"This is really strange. Why are the things the skirmishers are seeing different from what we are seeing?" Jiang Bai was very puzzled.

Did the skirmishers use some special method to access this core?

He probably didn't see those scenes; he doesn't even know Leonard...

Unfortunately, this meteorite cannot be kept indefinitely and must be destroyed as soon as possible. Otherwise, we can wait until we encounter him again, ask him for advice, and then take another look.

Mona shook her head. Even she didn't know how the skirmishers knew the sky was a lie.

"I don't know, but I never imagined that human beliefs could remain in the sky for thousands of years..."

She was deeply moved, realizing that the more she learned, the more she felt the boundless potential of astrology.

If you can communicate with the stars, you can grasp all the secrets of the past and present.

But she still has a long way to go before she can truly glimpse even a corner of the secret.

"What was once an insurmountable peak has become a small piece of land in the sea. Anyone can reach it by boat. Leonard could never have imagined such a sight before..."

Two thousand years have passed, long enough for mountains to turn into oceans.

Wishes that were once out of reach can now be easily fulfilled.

The power of time is truly immense...

Jiang Bai felt a bit emotional about this, but his focus was elsewhere.

Two thousand years ago, it was undoubtedly the time of the war between demons and gods.

The fact that this adventurer could venture across Teyvat during this period speaks volumes about their skill.

The key point is that he said he had explored all the secret realms before he turned 40. Secret realms are places that hide secrets, which means he knows a great deal of secrets.

This is probably why the stragglers were able to see the starry sky as a lie within the core of their destiny star.

Is such a person fixated on a mountain peak, or on what the mountain peak represents?

If the mountain peaks represent something, what exactly do they represent?

Jiang Bai decided to go back and ask Zhong Li. After all, that's what a master is for in situations like this.

Whether it's the relationship between elemental power and emotions, whether constellations can store elemental power, or the lies of the starry sky, he has accumulated a whole host of questions, just waiting for his master to answer them for him.

With a series of manipulations by everyone, the core turned into points of light and dissipated.

"Alright, the core issue is resolved. Those who are unconscious should wake up soon."

"Yeah! Great! We can go back to the Adventurers' Guild and report now!" Paimon stretched out a big yawn.

She's been busy for days, she's really exhausted.

Chapter 377 The Reason Why Others Can't Use Leyline Anchors

With the core issue resolved, the meteorite stopped falling.

After resting for a day in Mondstadt, Hu Tao and Jiang Bai went straight back to the Hall of Rebirth.

They traveled slowly and leisurely, and it was several days later when they finally returned to the ancestral hall.

After washing up, Jiang Bai went straight to Zhongli's courtyard. Before he even arrived, his voice could be heard inside.

"Master~"

Zhongli was painting inside the house, painting the orchids that were blooming beautifully in the courtyard outside the window.

He didn't paint often, but thousands of years were enough for him to master the skill to perfection.

Seeing Jiang Bai enter the courtyard, Zhong Li slightly raised her head, but her paintbrush did not stop.

He casually asked, "I haven't seen you and the hall master for the past few days. Where have you been?"

Jiang Bai leaned against the window railing, craning his neck to see what he was drawing.

Zhongli's painting is a unique ink wash painting style of Liyue. The style is free and expressive, and with just a few strokes, an orchid leaps onto the paper.

"We went to help because meteorites keep falling from the sky."

Jiang Bai smiled mysteriously, "Master, guess what those meteorites that fell from the sky are?"

"It should be the star of destiny," Zhongli said casually.

Jiang Bai: "!!!"

Jiang Bai's eyes widened. "You know?"

Damn, if I had known he knew, I would have just asked him directly. Why did I have to go through all this trouble!

“I went to see those meteorites, that’s how I found out,” Zhongli said with a smile.

There were many meteorites, and the traces of their fall were quite obvious.

Normally, he definitely wouldn't pay special attention to it.

But after hearing that these meteorites could cause people to fall into a deep sleep, he went to the place where the meteorites fell to take a look.

These meteorites are said to be normal meteorites, but they are different from normal meteorites. They contain a strong elemental force and a certain intense emotion.

With a little speculation, we can figure out what it is.

After finishing the last stroke of the painting, he admired it to make sure there were no problems, then wrote a poem and stamped it with his seal.

After waiting for the ink to dry, he went to the tea table in the pavilion in the courtyard to boil water and make tea, intending to listen to Jiang Bai recount what they had discovered in the past few days while drinking tea.

Jiang Bai sat down opposite him, resting her chin on her hand as she watched him make tea.

"The owner of these destiny stars is named Leonard, a person from two thousand years ago. Master, do you remember him?"

"Leonard?"

Zhongli thought for a moment and shook his head.

At that time, Liyue was in the midst of the Demon God War, and things were unstable everywhere, so it was unlikely that he would have any interaction with an adventurer.

"This adventurer has already traveled to all the secret realms by the age of 40. He is an extraordinary person."

"To claim to have access to all the secret realms? That sounds like an exaggeration."

How many secret realms are there in Teyvat? Even just considering Liyue, he doesn't know exactly how many secret realms there are in Liyue.

"I agree. While that might be a bit of an exaggeration, it's true he's been to many secret realms. It's just that he ultimately stopped at Peak Spire, and his obsession became conquering Peak Spire..."

Jiang Bai briefly recounted Leonard's story, including his unfinished wings.

"I see..." Zhongli was also hearing these stories for the first time.

Although he is the Geo Archon of Liyue, he is not omniscient or omnipotent; things outside of Liyue are beyond his knowledge.

"We encountered a Fatui Executor, a skirmisher. After making contact with the core, he said, 'The starry sky is a great lie.' What does that mean?"

Upon hearing this, Zhongli paused slightly as he poured the tea, his expression complex.

What is your opinion on this statement?

"Me? I'll just sit and watch."

What's Jiang Bai's opinion?

Literally, this statement might mean that the starry sky is illusory and does not exist.

But meteorites do fall from the sky, and there are also constellations in the sky. The constellation is also a star. How can the starry sky composed of constellations not be considered a starry sky?

The problem is that this starry sky is different from the starry sky he understands.

Zhongli smiled, not taking his nonsensical answer to heart.

"I can't answer that question either; you'll have to find out for yourself."

"Here we go again, there are just too many things you can't say..."

Jiang Bai helplessly covered his forehead. There was a know-it-all in the family, but there were many things he couldn't say. It was like having a mountain of gold in front of him but not being able to spend it, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

The water in the kettle had already boiled. Zhongli slowly poured the water into the teapot, and the tea leaves in the cup were tossed about by the water, rising and falling like a small boat in a large wave.

"The starry sky, that touches upon the very essence of Teyvat, and is naturally beyond my scope of discussion."

"Fine, fine..." What could Jiang Bai do?

Are you suggesting we pry his mouth open with a crowbar?

"And what about the false heavens? I met an astrologer who explained it this way..."

Jiang Bai slowly recounted Mona's explanation of the False Heaven.

You can understand it this way for now.

"Temporary? Why is it temporary?"

"Because for you at present, knowing the secrets of the sky is of no benefit."

"Uh, okay..."

Jiang Bai is now quite used to Zhong Li's habit of not being able to say this or that.

It's better not to tell anyone than to be a riddle teller. Giving him ambiguous information and making him guess is also very tiring.

"But why can that stragglers see it, but we can't?" Jiang Bai felt that he was being treated differently by the core.

"You should ask that soldier."
