King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 881 Nonsense
"I understand."

Behind them, Ying also followed. She glared at the people in front of her and said, "Why did you lie to me!"

"Alas... isn't this what I'm worried about?" Zhongli, who was always dignified, now had a look of worry on his face.

"Then what's the point of this? Are the people in my memory really human?" After getting Zhongli's confirmation, Ying shook his head, as if he couldn't believe it.

As she walked, she suddenly stopped.

"when!"

A strong wind whistled past accompanied by the sharp sound of metal clashing, and Ying rushed towards Zhongli in an instant.

The spear and the one-handed sword collided, and for a moment they were evenly matched. Ying walked down from the throne, having broken through the seal set by the original law of nature.

"Yes, or no? I was confused at first, but the people in your memory were so vivid that I gradually felt that they were the same people as before."

"But to me, fake is fake!" Ying yelled, and she exerted force with both arms, releasing all her strength, even forcing Zhongli to retreat.

"When the false is made to appear true, the true becomes false; when the true is made to appear false, the true becomes false." Zhongli dodged Ying's attack and turned around to distance himself from her.

"And now, it has to be true." He shook his head. The legendary martial god who stood tall and proud now looked more lifeless than an old man on his deathbed.

Ying had never seen Zhongli like this before, and for a moment even the anger in her heart dissipated a lot.

"Zhongli, you are still so cultured." Wendy jumped to his side and helped him up.

The two oldest gods are like two old men.

Wendy raised his head and looked at Ying, retracting the playful smile on his face: "Ying, I understand that you are angry about all this. But have you ever thought about...what should we do when the abyss comes?"

"Darkness, chaos, and taboos are all outside this world. They are about to break the eggshells."

Wendy looked up at the sky and he clearly understood that opposite the sky was the earth and the world was upside down.

The land is wrapped in a thick crust within the planet. The crust and the original power of the original man form the "eggshell" of this world, preventing the darkness of the universe from encroaching.

However, after the two throne wars and the Kanreya catastrophe, the "eggshell" has been full of cracks, and the darkness outside the world is already stirring.

"Ying, let me ask you, when the eggshell is broken and the dark universe rushes towards us, what can save us?"

"We can't do it, and neither can the crippled Phanes. You are our only hope."

Wendy said slowly.

"You are the son of man, and you can easily travel through the sea of ​​stars. Everyone who was born because of your memory can do the same!"

Wendy reached out her hand to Ying. This is a fucked up world. Darkness is normal in the universe, but Teyvat is the abnormal one.

No matter how strong the eggshell is, or how powerful the Original Man is, the abyss will always erode into Teyvat.

By then, both humans and this world will become part of the darkness.

Is it possible to save the world by reshaping it with the memory of the Son of Man? Perhaps not, but it can at least keep Teyvat in its original form in the dark universe.

This was also what Phanes thought of, and Zhongli and Venti agreed to it. It was the only solution.

At this moment, Ying's anger had long dissipated. She clenched her fists, feeling powerless because of the tragic fact.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, and said hurriedly as if she had grasped a life-saving straw: "The original reversed the destruction, and I am also an original! Can't you wait for me to become stronger... as strong as Phanes!!"

"That's too late."

This time it was Phanes who answered Ying's question. He slowly came to the front, looked down at the light under his feet and said:
"Son of man, do you know why I ask you to repeat the journey you have already taken over and over again?"

"..."

Ying didn't say anything. Since Phanes said so, she knew it would not be as simple as just asking her to remember everyone on the journey.

"Teyvat itself has no future. Its next step is complete shattering."

“The world provides a stage for people to display their destiny. Now it is the turn of the world to be maintained by destiny.” He picked up a starlight, rubbed it on the audience’s face for a while, and then threw it back.

Before the Son of Man remembers everything about Teyvat, Phanes himself doesn't know whether the Burning Fate is enough to maintain this broken world.

"This this……"

Ying looked at Phanes, then looked at the gods he was familiar with, and finally his gaze fell on Yujin.

"Senior! You are so strong, there must be a way, right? You must have a way!"

"I……"

"So what if there is a way? Reverse everything like I did back then? What about the curiosity of mankind? As a little person, you always want to drill through the ground and break out of the universe."

Phanes' expressionless face finally smiled, a smile full of helplessness. After laughing, he continued to ask:

"Or can you change the laws of the entire universe and dispel all the darkness?"

"So we must learn to coexist with the abyss instead of blindly rejecting it."

"elder brother!"

Kong also came to Sky Island, and he said this as soon as he came up. However, this whimsical idea naturally did not get the approval of everyone.

"Becoming an Apostle of the Abyss? Regardless of the success rate, the pain during the process is enough to make most ordinary people commit suicide, right?" Wendy touched his chin and shook his head.

"Are you all fine then? I heard everything. Isn't it all death? At least after successfully becoming an Apostle of the Abyss, you are still yourself!" Kong's eyes widened.

He now understood why he would pursue the power of the abyss no matter what, not only for Kanreya, but also for everyone on the journey.

Kong glanced at Phanes. Unlike Wendy who shook her head and sighed, Kong didn't care at all even when Kong discussed matters of the abyss in front of him.

Perhaps He really had no other choice. As long as people could survive in the abyss, He would be happy even if they became apostles of the abyss.

Both sides were silent, and a feeling of powerlessness swept over everyone. In front of the laws of the universe, even the so-called gods were nothing more than ants.

When the abyss encroaches, will only humans disappear? I'm afraid that's not the case. Gods will also perish in this dark wave.

It is true that someone in Teyvat controls the power of the abyss, but that is completely different from being directly in the dark universe.

"Using the memories of the Son of Man to shape this world..." During the silence between the two sides, Yu Jin muttered to himself.

Everyone looked at him, but Yu Jin didn't seem to care at all. He just shook his head.

"No, no."

"That is an existence exactly the same as this world, why not?" asked Phanes.

"Are they really exactly the same? How do you know they are exactly the same?"

"Could it be that... you clearly understand everyone's joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness? What makes them laugh, what makes them cry, how many points they laugh, and how loudly they cry? Do you know all this?"

“Don’t deceive yourself! Many people never understand others in their lifetime, and even they themselves are confused. They don’t know what they like, what their goals are, and what they regret.”

"You are a little... too arrogant." Ember wiped the weapon in his hand and came up with an adjective.

Now, except for himself, no one dared to say that he understood everything. For example, why did the Fire Keeper always cover her face, why did Patch always swear at him, etc.

Trying to erect a person based on memory... Ember shook his head.

"Then what can you do?"

"some."

Yu Jin nodded. But before the gods could react, he changed the subject and continued:

"I just need to borrow your lives!"
