Jiang Bai tried other original sea mutants, and apart from becoming more active and excited, they showed no other abnormalities.
Jiang Bai caught some more ordinary fish, and to save on the seawater, he added a lot of purified water so that the surface of the water was enough to cover the fish.
As soon as these fish come into contact with the fetal water, they begin to struggle frantically, jumping around incessantly until they leave the small basin.
Even if Jiang Bai scooped them out and put them in a clean basin of water, these fish would gradually die within a few minutes.
Jiang Bai was unable to determine the cause of death of the fish.
He wasn't sure if the fish died from overloaded life force because the amniotic fluid contained too much vitality, but simply because they were incompatible with the amniotic fluid.
Jiang Bai caught a lot more fish to use as a control experiment.
The experiment investigated the condition and survival rate of fish under different dilution levels and contact durations of fetal seawater.
This was a rather tedious process. In order to ensure the variables, a considerable number of experimental subjects were required. Jiang Bai spent an entire afternoon just catching fish.
Chapter 886 My name is Jacob
All freshwater fish will die within three minutes of leaving the womb water; the higher the concentration of the womb water, the faster they die.
Jiang Bai could not determine the specific cause of death from this rudimentary experiment.
These original marine creatures can move around in the low concentration of primordial amniotic fluid. Once the concentration of amniotic fluid increases to 10%, these original marine creatures will fall into a state of painful frenzy and then die within a certain period of time.
It's uncertain whether the pain is caused by an overflow of life force.
However, one thing is certain: neither ordinary fish nor marine life can live in pure, pristine gestational water.
Jiang Bai captured some slimes for experiments. Slimes are pure elemental life forms, but their tolerance to the water of the Primal Sea of Embryos is not much better than that of the original sea alien species.
However, Jiang Bai was able to clearly see their death process.
It's like encountering an overwhelming force that you can't absorb, causing it to explode from the inside out.
Finally, Jiang Bai used himself as the subject of the experiment.
Although the amniotic fluid will not dissolve upon contact, prolonged contact with it can cause various symptoms such as dizziness, oxygen deficiency, and pain.
The higher the concentration, the faster these symptoms appear.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye due to this busy schedule.
Jiang Bai is not a professional researcher, and he has already done most of his research here, so he cannot draw any more conclusions.
In conclusion, the primordial womb may indeed be the place where life is conceived, but the power within it is beyond the capacity of modern beings to withstand.
It is still unclear what the doomsday prophecy in Fontaine has to do with the Primordial Fetal Sea. Jiang Bai puts this matter aside for the time being and plans to continue wandering around Fontaine to see if he can find anything.
To my delight, Gudu woke up.
After waking up, Gudu's body underwent some changes. Several beautiful patterns appeared on its fish-like tail, which were so faint that they could not be noticed unless you looked closely.
It excitedly circled around Jiang Bai, blowing out a string of bubbles, its spirits incredibly high.
Jiang Bai patted its head, "Is there anything wrong with your body?"
Gu Dong shook his head and showed off his tail to Jiang Bai.
"So beautiful!" Jiang Bai gave a thumbs up.
Unfortunately, aside from looking a bit nicer, it didn't serve any other purpose.
But as long as it looks good, that's enough.
Gudu indicated that it wanted to drink some more fetal water, as it could feel its strength increasing slightly.
Jiang Bai took out the fetal water and let it drink as much as it wanted; if it wasn't enough, he could get more.
Gudu didn't drink much, just a little more than last time, and then he couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep.
Jiang Bai wandered around Erinas alone and saw some special magic circles carved on the ground in some remote places.
The area covered by the magic array was completely different from the surrounding environment, presenting a sense of desolation and death.
Moreover, these areas are also home to many hunting dogs.
"Could these be Teyvat's weak points?"
Jiang Bai did not approach rashly, but instead circled around the area.
He discovered a stone tablet, which had been placed there at some unknown time, with several lines of text engraved on it.
A rift in the Beast Realm. Danger! Do not approach!
"A rift in the Beast Realm?"
Jiang Bai knew what the Beast Realm was. According to Abedo, the Beast Realm was a buffer zone between Teyvat and the Abyss.
These monsters are widely known as Beast Hounds for two reasons: first, they originate from this place, and second, they resemble hunting dogs.
The gold gave them the real name "Leaching," a name derived from their ability to dissolve borders.
"So, the other side of this passage is the Beast Realm?"
These magic arrays are a kind of seal, blocking the passage to the Beast Realm.
As for the beast-hunting dogs in the vicinity, the magic array may have worn down, allowing them to find an opening and slip in.
Jiang Bai didn't know how to repair magic arrays, nor was he sure how much the array had been damaged. He planned to report the anomaly when he returned to Fengdanting.
As for the demons inside the magic circle, Jiang Bai ignored them.
These places are sparsely populated and normally no one comes here. Killing these beast-hunting hounds might cause a disturbance, allowing more monsters to emerge from the rift.
Jiang Bai didn't linger; he wandered aimlessly in the waters off Fontainebleau once more.
After getting used to the feeling of diving, there isn't much difference between being in the water and on land.
The only inconvenience is probably not being able to eat.
Fortunately, the bottom wasn't all water.
Some of the submerged buildings still had some air remaining.
These buildings were not completely covered by water, leaving ample oxygen.
Jiang Bai wandered aimlessly, occasionally slipping into one building and then another.
There aren't many ancient ruins underwater; these buildings were mostly submerged during a major flood 500 years ago.
After passing through countless layers of water curtains, Jiang Bai arrived at an underground cave.
The cave was not flooded. Inside, there were some plants that emitted a faint glow, as well as bookshelves, desks, and various other items, as if someone had once lived there.
Jiang Bai saw a magic array similar to the one outside. In the very center of the array was a desk with a book unfolded inside.
In the dim light, Jiang Bai saw a human-shaped black shadow.
Seemingly sensing someone's arrival, the shadowy figure turned its head to look.
As the light from the illuminating stone shone through, Jiang Bai was able to see clearly what the dark figure was.
This is a person, a simply dressed person.
"Uh, hello."
Jiang Bai felt that this person must live in this cave, and he had mistakenly entered someone else's home.
The man did not respond to Jiang Bai's greeting; he simply looked at him.
His face was in the darkness, and Jiang Bai couldn't see what expression he had on it.
Is this your home?
"No."
"Uh? Where is this place? And what's that under your feet? It looks dangerous. Should you move away from here...?"
"Here?" The man smiled. "This is where the Book of Revelation is located."
His gaze swept over Jiang Bai, as if he had seen something peculiar.
"I can sense that you are extraordinary. Would you mind telling me who you are?"
"What makes it so unusual?"
Jiang Bai secretly became more vigilant.
Could he have encountered something like the Witches' Guild?
Anyone who lives in this place is definitely not a normal person.
"The aura emanating from you is unlike any I have encountered in the past few hundred years; it is truly unique."
For hundreds of years?
It's another long-lived species.
As everyone knows, long-lived species are extraordinary.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
“My name is Jacob.”
Chapter 887 He's just a delusional savior.
"My name is Jiang Bai."
Jiang Bai also mentioned his name, but didn't provide any further information.
There's no way around it; you can't be too careful.
"You don't want to tell me? That's alright. Would you like to take a look at this book of revelation?"
What is the Book of Revelation?
"This is how we reconstructed Teyvat after its destruction."
Jacob turned his head to look at the book, and said in a tone that was calm to the point of numbness, as if he had read it hundreds or thousands of times:
"The cycle ends here. No new civilization will be born, and even sweet flowers and mint will cease to grow on the earth..."
Jiang Bai's pupils contracted, and his body instinctively moved towards the Book of Revelation.
What Jacob mentioned was undoubtedly Jiang Bai's biggest worry.
The demise of Teyvat—what a heavy word.
He had forgotten all caution and vigilance, and only wanted to see what Teyvat would look like after its destruction.
"What should we do?"
Jacob stepped aside. “It’s simple. Just look at it and meditate.”
The contents of the book pages consist of incomprehensible graphics, letters, ancient words, and geometric patterns.
Jiang Bai stared intently at the pages, his mind blank. The edges of the pages gradually blurred, and a world that was both incredibly strange and incredibly familiar entered his field of vision.
When I came to my senses again, my consciousness had already reached another space.
The scene here was familiar; Jiang Bai had spent a long time in a similar environment.
It was dark and deathly silent; all that remained were ruins, and even the sunlight had vanished.
The sky was as if a huge hole had been cracked open from an eggshell, and deep darkness shone through, inspiring fear.
"The eggshell is broken..."
Jiang Bai looked up at the huge rift in the sky, his mind a jumble of thoughts, so many and so chaotic that his brain went blank.
Jiang Bai walked aimlessly along the road, needing some time to calm his thoughts.
It was known that the eggshell would break.
The difference lies in whether the disruption comes from the outside or from the inside.
Jacob's reconstruction of the scene here is undoubtedly an image of the eggshell being broken from the outside, and the world being destroyed.
But this is something that has not yet happened.
Isn't the purpose of him lingering in Fontainebleau precisely to prepare for these things?
Who exactly is this Jacob?
