Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"Huh, we think we've arrived."

If it weren't for the ships hitting it, this boundary would have been as if it didn't exist.

Jiang Bai came to the front of the boat and reached out to touch the unseen boundary.

Suddenly, the boundary changed like ripples on water, signaling its existence.

Jiang Bai looked towards the other side beyond the boundary.

On the other side, there is also an endless ocean, and all biological activity is trapped inside the boundary.

However, the ocean over there was a deeper color, a deep blue, and after a distance, both the ocean and the sky seemed to be shrouded in gray-black, as if covered by a layer of mist.

From the air, it appears as if there is an invisible boundary line separating the two colors of seawater.

Hu Tao and Yi Dou also curiously came over and reached out to touch the boundary.

"Is this the boundary? I'm a little disappointed."

Before they even saw the boundary, they had already imagined all sorts of scenarios.

For example, the border is a high wall, a dangerous electric fence like a thunderstorm off the coast of Inazuma, or a fog that can lead you astray...

But what they ultimately saw was a simple, unadorned wall of air.

It's not that invisible walls are bad, they're just too plain and unadorned.

"The elemental energy here is so thin..."

Walnut sensed that, apart from the water element being relatively active, the other elemental forces were extremely thin at this boundary.

She can still create fire, but it's difficult for her to draw upon enough fire element to unleash powerful attacks.

"It must be because it's at the border," Jiang Bai thought for a moment and said.

Elemental forces definitely converge towards the center.

The elemental forces associated with each country controlled by a god will be much more active in that country.

"I'll test just how high this boundary really is."

Jiang Bai flew upwards, touching the barrier as he went, for several thousand meters, but the barrier remained intact.

Undeterred, he continued to fly upwards for several thousand meters.

At this altitude, the entire sea level appears to be curved, and the boundary even seems to recede inwards.

Looking at the other side of the boundary from this height, you still can't see anything.

Even sunlight was confined within the barrier, and the entire outer sea was plunged into darkness after a certain distance.

The colors of the world seem to be confined to the area within its boundaries.

Without sunlight, it's all gray and gloomy, no wonder it's called the Dark Outer Sea.

Chapter 569 Aren't you sure you won't get killed doing this?

Jiang Bai stopped flying upwards and landed instead.

"Should we follow the border and see just how big it really is?"

Hu Tao rejected his idea, "Let's not. The ocean in Teyvat is huge, and we don't have a map. We wouldn't even know where we'd end up..."

Ichidou nodded in agreement, "That's right, that's right. It's been so long since I left Narukami Island, I miss Grandma."

There's nothing interesting to see at this border.

There's nothing to see over there, so staying here is a waste of time.

Don't you want to cross the border and see the outside world?

Jiang Bai heard that during the Demon God War, many demon gods fled to the Dark Outer Sea.

"In no mood!"

Hu Tao and Yi Dou said in unison.

Although they were curious, they didn't want to go outside.

Teyvat is large enough for them to live and explore.

Once they go out, they might never come back.

By then, there will be no turning back.

Curiosity is fine, but it should be kept in moderation.

"Ok."

Jiang Bai was just asking casually; he didn't really intend to go out.

This barrier isn't something that can be broken easily. Let's rest here for a while; I'll go take a look at the seabed.

Jiang Bai dove into the sea and looked at the scene beyond the transparent boundary.

Compared to the thriving fish population inside the border, the area outside the border is completely desolate, with not even a single living fish to be seen.

Jiang Bai frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

Since there is also a sea area outside the boundary, how could there be no life in this sea area?

Unless, of course, the area outside the boundary is unsuitable for life.

Jiang Bai compiled the information that was currently known.

First, there is no sunlight outside the boundary.

Secondly, the area outside the border appears to be shrouded in a thick, grayish-black fog.

Finally, the area outside the border appears to be a no-man's land.

Each of these points perfectly matches the place he once lived in.

Could it be that he arrived outside the borders of Teyvat from the very beginning?

However, that place could also be a mysterious and extraordinary abyss.

After all, he has never been to the Abyss and doesn't know what it's like.

Walnut stood on the ship's railing, emerging from her body and tentatively extending a claw toward the boundary.

Even its intangible form was blocked within the boundary.

Somewhat defiant, it banged its head against the boundary. For the first time, it experienced what it meant to hit its head, something it had only ever managed to do before.

"Woo~"

It floated back with its head drooping, and, feeling utterly dejected, wrapped itself around Walnut's hand.

Hu Tao could only comfort the injured little guy, "It's alright, it's normal not to be able to get through it, don't be sad."

Jiang Bai dove out of the water, shook the water off his hair, and climbed onto the deck.

Have you seen any creatures appearing over there in the sea?

Hu Tao raised an eyebrow. "No, did you see any creatures on the seabed?"

Jiang Bai shrugged. "That would be great."

Knowing that staying here would be pointless, he didn't linger any longer and waved his hand dismissively.

"Wang Sheng Tang, return to port! Go back to Ming Shen Island to ask General Lei Dian for money!"

The thought of receiving a large sum of money filled Jiang Bai with boundless energy.

Walnut glanced sideways. "I hope you can be just as loud when you're facing General Thunder."

She always felt that facing Jiang Bai, who was so arrogant and demanding money from her, General Lei Dian might very well kill him with a single blow.

Jiang Bai raised his head defiantly, "Hmph~ If she doesn't give it to me, I'll lie down at the entrance of the castle tower and refuse to leave! I'll also hang up a banner saying that General Thunder owes me a debt and won't pay it back!"

╯^╰

If they still won't give it to him, he'll go back and complain to the old man!

Hu Tao's lips twitched. "Aren't you sure you won't get hacked to death like this...?"

Yi Dou also gave a thumbs up.

A true warrior has to rely on his little brother.

He only dared to be disrespectful to General Thunder verbally, but he wouldn't dare to do so to his face.

Jiang Bai swept his hair back, concealing his achievements and fame.

The stone boat traveled at sea for many days, and finally Narukami Island came into view.

"Hahaha, Narukami Island! I'm finally back!"

Having been away from home for more than two months, Yi Dou is now almost home and is incredibly excited.

"I also miss the land a little." Hu Tao was also very happy.

I've been on the boat the whole time, and even sleeping feels like I'm swaying.

"Hahaha, I can go ask General Thunder for Mora soon!"

Hu Tao flicked Jiang Bai on the forehead as he laughed heartily.

"You'd better take it easy!"

Even if you want Mora, shouldn't you at least be more tactful?

Before getting down to business, you should at least be polite and subtly state your purpose, rather than stating it directly.

And to associate with a god like Timorah, how mercenary!

Aren't you afraid that you'll become someone who adores Mora in General Thunder's eyes?

"Hehe, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Jiang Bai believed he had grasped some of the nuances of General Lei Dian's personality.

They are meritorious people, and General Thunder and Lightning will not only not do anything to them, but will also reward them according to their merits.

Jiang Bai patted his chest, "Don't worry, I'll take your share too!"

"Whatever you want, just don't make me collect your corpse."

Hu Tao didn't have much hope that Jiang Bai could get Mora from General Lei Dian.

In contrast, she felt that General Thunder was more likely to offer something in the form of "divine friendship," something that couldn't be valued in Mora.

Although the friendship of the Inazuma deities isn't of much use to the people of Liyue...

But this vague and ethereal thing sounds so appealing, and it can save a lot of Mora...

As the stone boat entered the harbor of the outlying island, its unique shape immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

Currently, most of the ships people see are made of wood, with only occasional mentions of steel ships built in Fontainebleau or Winter.

But I've never heard of or seen a ship made of rock before.

"How can stones be used to make boats? And they look so exquisite?"

"If steel can be transported by boat, why can't stone?"

"But don't stones sink in water? Why is it floating?"

"Even steel can sink in water..."

"But this ship doesn't even have sails, so how does it move?"

"Just rely on the ocean currents, and drift with the waves..."

A murmur of discussion arose at the dock, and a large crowd gathered to watch, their heads blocking Jiang Bai and his companions' path to disembark.

"Is this the welcome ceremony prepared for me, the great one?"

Yidou stood on the ladder leading down from the boat, proudly taking out a comb to comb his hair.

Jiang Bai gave him a push, "Hurry up and go, or we won't be able to leave if there are even more people later."

He truly hadn't expected that a stone boat could cause such a sensation.

"Hello, I am a ship management officer. May I ask who is the captain?"
