Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"That's a long story."

Mentioning this, even the images left from the past are inevitably tinged with sadness.

"The misfortune of the Sea Goddess has fallen into this place, outside the jurisdiction of the 'Order of Heaven.' It has done many things for us, but in doing so, it has also touched upon the truth even before its birth."

"Therefore, it was ordered by the Heavenly Capital to sacrifice itself for righteousness. This sacrifice must be carried out without any suspicion, only in this way can the people of the White Night be allowed to live under the new 'Seventh Order'."

"We sealed up Yuanxia Palace in order to seal this secret."

However, she ultimately did not want all the truth to be buried in the dust of history, so with the help of the sea goddess, she left behind such a sinful shadow.

This is the truth she doesn't want to be forgotten, the truth behind the death of the sea goddess Omikami that she doesn't want to be forgotten.

Yuan Shang asked impatiently, "So, what exactly is the truth he touched upon?"

Eboshi shook his head. "All I know is that it was a sealed ancient book. After the Sea Goddess Omikami accidentally flipped through it, it was sealed away and no one was allowed to see it."

"What exactly is recorded on it?" Jiang Bai became increasingly curious.

Yuanxia said with some disappointment, "That book should record the events before the sun and moon, the events of the first and second thrones. I came here for this book."

"Before the sun and moon? Is this some kind of timekeeping method?"

"Yes." Ebony nodded.

"In the era before the Great Sun Chariot of the Sun was built, before we became the sun and moon."

When Eboshi spoke of the history of the White Night Kingdom, this was all she knew.

Before the White Night Kingdom fell into the abyss, the whole world was under a unified culture.

"The heavens have bestowed knowledge upon us, and we speak the same language, write the same script, and establish similar city-states."

"Then a great war broke out, the sky collapsed, and the earth cracked. A dark abyss fell upon this land at that time."

Haiyuan.

"Then, it seemed the order of heaven did not want those who remembered all this to remain on earth. We searched for our way back."

They searched for a way, but couldn't find it no matter what they tried.

"Until much later, the power of the Heavenly Decree gradually weakened. The Sea Goddess Omikami fell into this place..."

This is the history of the White Night Kingdom as known to the priestesses, and now only these sinful shadows can remember it.

The history that Wu Maozi described was largely the same as what Jiang Bai knew. The relics on the land of Teyvat, which were carved with Celtic triangular patterns, all came from this ancient era.

Listening to Wu Maozi's words, Jiang Bai felt that his guess might be true.

The first throne is dead, and the sky has been usurped by the second throne, according to speculation.

Otherwise, why would the sky today try so hard to erase the past?

Even Orobas, who learned of this by chance, had to sacrifice his life without arousing any suspicion.

All those who knew the truth became mindless shells. Afterwards, whether it was arranging the war between demons and gods or setting up the seven ruling powers in the mortal world to govern the seven kingdoms, it was all to erase the influence of the first throne.

However, some things can never be completely erased.

Even though the words and murals carved on the stones have faded over time, the marks remain deeply etched on them.

But now another question arises: what is the reason for the war between the Goddess of Ice and Heavenly Principle?

Although the second throne is usurped, it doesn't really make much difference to the people below, does it?

Both are forms of rule, but the difference might be that those living under the first throne have a better life.

Jiang Bai asked some more questions about this, to which Wu Maozi replied with complete ignorance.

After asking around, the conversation finally came down to the topic of dragon lizards.

"Deep-sea dragon lizards are primitive elemental creatures. Because they have lived in the deep sea for a long time, they have not been affected by the power that descended from the sky."

Surrender. "

The ordinary dragon lizards that Jiang Bai encountered on the ground were all beings subdued by the power of the heavens; they were fundamentally different.

The essence of "sacred landification" is actually the expansion of their habitable environment. This is the original element within the Three Realms.

The elemental force became dominant.

"If Yuanxia Palace weren't connected to Haiqi Island, leaving this territory to them wouldn't be a bad thing. It's just a pity that this place is so closely connected to Haiqi Island; this is a war for survival..."

The White Night Kingdom and the Dragon Lizards have been fighting for thousands of years, and this war will continue indefinitely for the survival of their territories...

After saying goodbye to Eubaozi, the three of them lit a fire in a safe place and cooked food.

"Where could that book be...? Do we have to dig three feet into the ground to find it?"

Jiang Bai felt a headache coming on.

Finding a hidden book in the enormous Yuanxia Palace is incredibly difficult.

"It's all up to us. If we really can't find it, then there's nothing we can do."

Yuan Shang's mindset was alright.

After all, how could it not be good? He had already uncovered all the secrets of Yuanxia Palace, but this book alone had not been found for so many years.

Perhaps it was just a matter of fate that brought us together.

"Could it have already been taken by the Abyss Order? Or taken away by the people of Keria..." Ah Mao felt that this possibility was still very high.

There are a great many abyss mages in the Abyss Palace. These abyss cult monsters could not have appeared here in a sealed place for no reason, and the same applies to the machines of Kanria.

They've been here so long, they might have already found it and taken it away.

"Impossible!" Yuan Shang immediately denied.

Jiang Bai and Ah Mao both looked over in surprise. "Why are you so sure?"

Chapter 824 Is there any question of correctness here?

why?

Yuan Shang really wanted to say that he was a member of the Abyss Order, so how could he not know whether the book had been taken or not?

But of course he couldn't say that; the book hadn't been found yet, and there was no point in revealing it himself.

Once he gets the book, wouldn't it be better for him to reveal his true identity, make a few boastful remarks, give the riddles a little, and then make a quick getaway?

As for the question of whether I'll get beaten to death...

Nonsense, it's not like he can't beg for mercy.

“I think if the Abyss Order finds this book, then there’s no need for these Abyss Mages to stay here any longer.”

Yuan Shang offered a seemingly reasonable but ultimately meaningless conjecture.

Who knows why these abyss mages stayed here? Maybe they just wanted to avoid the human population?

Moreover, there is a dragon lizard race here with considerable intelligence. The dragon lizards, who are hostile to humans, can be considered natural allies with the Abyss Order.

"But I didn't see any signs that these abyss mages were searching for anything," Jiang Bai thought, finding it illogical.

Perhaps these abyss mages simply couldn't leave, which is why they haven't.

"Just catch one and ask around, then we'll know."

Ah Mao didn't bother guessing. He patted his clothes, stood up, and spiraling wind patterns appeared behind him. He took off and flew quickly into the distance.

Not long after, he flew back carrying an Abyss Mage.

The Abyss Mage was thrown to the ground, landing face-first.

Its condition was so bad that it was powerless to resist even when released.

Ah Mao crossed his arms and looked down at the Abyss Mage who was getting up from the ground.

"What is the purpose of your Abyss Order in the Abyss Palace?"

Who exactly are you people?

The abyss mage's voice remained as high-pitched as ever; their vocal cords were also affected as they had become demons.

"Don't worry about who we are, just tell us what your purpose is here."

Ah Mao's eyes turned cold, and a murderous aura enveloped the abyss mage, who, already not very brave, trembled in fear.

"My patience is limited, so you'd better answer my questions truthfully. Otherwise, I don't mind catching another one."

Ah Mao's meaning was self-evident: if you don't answer, then you might as well die.

Yuan Shang pushed up his glasses, and an aura inadvertently escaped his lips, a barely audible whisper of "Abyss" echoing in the ear of this Abyss Apostle.

Answer truthfully.

The Abyss Apostle paused for a moment, instinctively shifting his gaze towards Yuan Shang. Unfortunately, he was wearing a mask, and no one could see what expression was beneath it.

"The...the cult sent us to find a book, but that was a long time ago..."

"Did you find it?" Yuan Shang asked.

"No...we haven't found it yet, and the cult hasn't pressed us, so we've just left it to fate..."

Finding things sometimes really depends on luck, and it's clear that the Abyss Order doesn't have that kind of luck.

"What do you want with that book?" Jiang Bai asked.

It's just a book that records secrets. Even if the Abyss Order finds it, what use will it have?

"If we find that book, our Abyss Order will have concrete evidence to prove that the gods and Sky Island are alien entities."

"What's the point?"

The Abyss Mage couldn't answer Jiang Bai's question, after all, it was just a low-level monster in the Order.

Yuan Shang spoke thoughtfully, "I think this gives the Abyss Order's hostility towards the gods and the sky a certain justification."

This kind of political correctness is quite meaningful at times, at least in terms of leveraging external influences and raising high-sounding banners.

Although the Abyss Order has an indelible hatred for humanity, Teyvat is not just a race that consists of humans.

Monsters, elemental beings, dragon lizards, dragon kings...

With this banner, perhaps we can bring these races into the Abyss Order and work together to complete their grand plan.

"Is even the Abyss Order doing this now?"

Jiang Bai was greatly shocked.

A villainous organization that is at odds with all of humanity actually has some sense of righteousness!

It's outrageous yet incredibly real.

"Speaking of which, couldn't Sky Island just destroy books like this?"

Since the World Tree can erase the existence of the Great Tree King, it's only natural that it can manipulate the natural order to erase these things as well.

"Because of the special nature of this place."

Jiang Bai and Ah Mao both turned their gazes toward Yuan Shang, who had spoken.

"How to say?"

"Do you remember what Eboshi said? The Abyss Palace has lost its connection with Teyvat, which means that Tenri can no longer directly influence this place."

"Moreover, this is the border between Teyvat and the Abyss. If the Sky Spike were to fall here, the consequences would be unpredictable."

"I see..."

The answer to why Tenri didn't destroy the book is already clear. As for why Orobas didn't destroy it either, it might be out of some kind of resentment at being forced to die.

Leaving this book is leaving behind proof that the sky has usurped the bird's nest.

What will happen to those who read this book later is not something he has considered.

In any case, all the people from the White Night Kingdom have left.

Having already answered the question, Ah Mao swiftly and decisively sent the Abyss Mage back to the ley line cycle.

"It seems that finding that book depends entirely on fate." Jiang Bai suddenly lost hope of finding the book.

The Abyss Order has been here for so many years and still hasn't found it. For these three newcomers to find it, it really depends on fate.

"If we stay for three more days and still can't find it, there's no point in staying any longer."
