Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

After all, the palace stuck in the canyon can be easily explained by geological movements.

But the inverted palace in front of him truly caused Jiang Bai's brain to shut down.

"Does Teyvat even have science?" he murmured unconsciously.

But the next second, he refuted it himself.

"No, Teyvat has no science..."

Whether it's the palace that vanished abruptly or the network of ley lines running underground, both have exceeded the scientific understanding he had built up in his hometown during the first half of his life.

If he continues to try to understand Teyvat with common sense, he might suffer a great loss at any time.

Chapter 606 Kanria is probably at the Earth's core.

"Just how many things are hidden underground...?"

Upon entering the upside-down palace, Jiang Bai rubbed the goosebumps on his hands.

There was an inexplicably oppressive atmosphere in the air, which, combined with the eerie upside-down palace, made him feel uneasy.

It is said that the ancient kingdom of Kanria is also located underground. Jiang Bai really can't imagine what kind of underground space could give birth to such a huge kingdom.

Does this mean that the core of Teyvat is hollow?

Or is it that, like this ruin, the city of Kanria is also situated in a series of vast, empty spaces?

"Let's investigate this palace first." After saying that, Xiao disappeared.

The palace had existed for an unknown period of time, and the patterns on the stone carvings on its walls were unlike anything Jiang Bai had ever seen before.

Too much time has passed, and everything that once existed in this palace has long since weathered away and disappeared.

Some of the palace buildings were floating against gravity, and Jiang Bai even saw an upside-down pool.

This pool is located in the center of the entire palace. Even though the palace is in ruins, you can still see its former grandeur. It is also the best-preserved part of the entire palace.

Clearly, this pool held extraordinary significance for the people who once lived here.

Even this pool has escaped the ravages of time and is still flowing to this day.

Jiang Bai looked up at the pool that defied all reason and felt as if the world had turned upside down.

Basic gravity and gravitational forces seem to have no effect on these buildings; the water in the overhead pool seems to follow a different kind of gravity, with not a single drop spilling down.

This scene is so confusing.

Which direction is the positive one?

Is it positive? Or am I positive?

If this direction is the true positive direction, then wouldn't that mean everything he sees is the opposite?

Or does Teyvat have two gravity modes?

One set on the surface, and another set at the Earth's core?

Jiang Bai conceived a cross-section of a normal planet in his mind.

The normal Earth's surface is where the seven kingdoms are located now; they are subject to gravity, and objects there would fall downwards.

In the unfathomable depths of the Earth's core lies a dark and empty land, where gravity is the complete opposite of that on the surface, causing buildings to appear as inverted views to those on the surface.

Perhaps, that ancient kingdom of Kanria existed in such an environment.

Therefore, Teyvat is more like a hollow ring than a round, three-dimensional planet.

Jiang Bai felt that his guess was quite reasonable, at least it could explain why the palace was upside down.

But another problem arose.

The depth here is still far from the Earth's core; it is still subject to normal gravity.

Therefore, all those speculations just now seem to have been meaningless.

Jiang Bai shook his head, trying to clear his mind of the jumbled thoughts. These kinds of philosophical questions were beyond his comprehension; the more he thought about them, the more likely he was to go down a dead end and turn into a madman.

It used a phonograph to record these scenes, which it might use to embarrass the scholars of Mount Sumeru when it arrived there.

"Have you found anything?" Xiao appeared behind Jiang Bai.

"Aside from this upside-down pool, I didn't find anything special," Jiang Bai said, shrugging.

This palace has existed for countless years. Apart from the rocks that built the palace, which have not been worn away by time, other artifacts have long since disappeared into the past.

Although Jiang Bai had visited many historical sites, he was neither an archaeologist nor a professional in this field.

It's really impossible to derive any useful information solely from the architectural form and artistic style of the ruins.

"I just went down to take a look, and it's shrouded in a mist. I can't go in, and I can't see what's inside."

"under?"

Jiang Bai walked out of the main hall and looked down.

Below was complete darkness, which limited the light emitted by the lumenite catalyst.

Staring down for too long can feel like it's affecting you.

Jiang Bai looked at Xiao, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Xiao did not hide anything; honesty helps in better exploring this unknown land.

"The atmosphere here can stir up negative emotions in my heart and affect my spirit. If I hadn't been carrying a fragment of the Heavenly Nail, my karmic obstacles would probably have flared up in an instant."

The karmic obstacles he carries are usually suppressed, and such places that can affect his mental state are extremely dangerous for him.

Jiang Bai took out the Lianli Zhenxin Powder, "Want a sip?"

"Not for now."

Lianli Zhenxin Powder can help him suppress karmic obstacles, but excessive use can lead to drug resistance.

He can still control it for now and doesn't need to take any medicine.

"Then have a mint jelly."

Peppermint jelly doesn't have the same strong effect as Lianli Zhenxin San, but it does contain some medicine, and eating it can soothe the mind.

The demon did not refuse.

"I'll go down and take a look."

Jiang Bai jumped down directly, and under the light of the Lumenite, everything around him was clearly visible.

He looked around and saw nothing but dark filth.

The abyssal power here has completely eroded the surrounding rock layers, and there are even more large swaths of black mud than in the space above.

Moreover, this was only the outer perimeter; the true center was shrouded in a thick fog, from which an even more foul odor emanated.

Jiang Bai felt this was somewhat tricky.

The purifying power of the lumen catalyst on his body is very limited; it can only purify some thin black mud and is powerless against the abyssal forces that have already invaded the rock strata.

Not to mention getting into this fog.

But there must be a great secret hidden in this fog, so we have no choice but to go in and investigate.

"Ugh, my head hurts..."

Jiang Bai had an urge to go to the snow-capped mountains and carry that entire Frostbite Nail back with him.

How about we go and carry half a stick?

If one isn't enough, then half a bunch should be fine.

Thinking it over, he immediately set to work, quickly returning to the previously recorded ley line anchor point and arriving at the snow mountain.

The poor Frost Nail was frequently visited by Jiang Bai, and this time a third of it was gone.

Jiang Bai, carrying the Frostfire Nail that was taller than him, stubbornly resisted the Frostfire Nail's own gravitational pull and returned to the abyss through the leyline anchor.

As Jiang Bai carried the somewhat familiar object back, the black mud in his path quickly dissipated.

Xiao suddenly understood the Emperor's intention in having him go with Jiang Bai.

With Jiang Bai around, it will definitely be much safer.

If he were the only one in this space, the situation would probably be extremely bad.

Looking at the rock layers that remained unchanged even under the illumination of the Frostfire Nails, Jiang Bai sighed.

Even the cold-weather nail is powerless against this stubborn ailment.

Fortunately, these rock formations are not as dangerous as the black mud, so they can be ignored for the time being.

Chapter 607 I am Your Highness's biological brother

"Huh? What's this?"

After the black mud subsided, Jiang Bai found a backpack.

Judging from the markings on the backpack, it seems to belong to the Fools.

When Jiang Bai opened the backpack, he found that some of the original items inside had been contaminated and their original shapes were no longer visible. However, he could still vaguely make out the words on a diary.

[...Sergeant Anton discovered a large bell in the southeast direction...and the rock face was inscribed with the word "them"...]

[...It's similar to the large structure the captain saw in the ruins to the northwest; perhaps there's some connection...]

[Dispatch two people to each ring the large bell in the ruins...]

A terrifying howl echoed throughout the rock face, and the black mist dissipated, revealing an inexplicable phenomenon... as if announcing someone's arrival...

[...Ten men were killed, and two vanguard squads suffered heavy losses. The captain ordered an immediate retreat...]

A simple map slipped out of the logbook, drawn by these Fools soldiers during their investigation of the area.

Jiang Bai closed the log and sighed.

When the Abyss of the Rocks was in danger, the Winter Kingdom sent many soldiers down to help Liyue, and this log was left by one of the small teams.

It is difficult to judge this country simply as good or bad.

However, one thing is certain: the Kingdom of Winter has always stood on the side of humanity.

They are trustworthy in the fight against the Abyss.

Jiang Bai picked up the map and looked at it, then looked up at the upside-down ruins above.

"There's even a large bell in these ruins..."

He hadn't noticed it at all when he was exploring the ruins before.

You can't blame him for that; after all, a person's attention span is limited, and this ruin is an entire palace, which isn't something that can be explored in an easy way.

Jiang Bai and Jiang Han set down the fragments of the Heavenly Nail and looked at the black mist that still showed no signs of dissipating.

Clearly, the Frostbite Nails are ineffective against the Black Mist.

He returned to the ruins with his logbook and map to find Xiao.

"Find the large bell in this palace, and I'll go check out the ruins in the southeast direction mentioned in this log."

"it is good."

Jiang Baishun's map led him to the ruins in the southeast.

Compared to the monotonous rock walls of the layered rocks, the area around this site is much more colorful.

Flowing water, vegetation, flowers, and even small animals live there.

Jiang Bai was somewhat moved.

Even in such a harsh place where the sun has never been seen, there was once a brilliant civilization.

He examined the ruins carefully.

This ruin and that upside-down ruin are identical in both architectural style and carved patterns.

It is clear that they come from the same civilization.

Jiang Bai was somewhat concerned about the "them" mentioned in the log.
