Konoha: This Sasuke has Tivat

Chapter 183 Nails, Forbidden Knowledge, Rice Wife
When the collapse stopped, Sasuke and Paimon returned to this space.

The huge crystal was still suspended in mid-air, but the surrounding scene had completely changed.

This place is in ruins.

And the mechanical snake composed of gear parts was completely buried in the ruins.

However, the black mud produced by the strange snake also dissipated.

"It looks like it's over."

Paimon breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the dust had fallen to the ground.

Is it really over?

Sasuke frowned.

"Do you know what that is? Paimon?"

he asked.

"Huh? Pamon doesn't know."

"I just think that after we used that big stone to clean up that big guy, the bad guys from the Abyss Cult failed in their plan and left here."

"Isn't this enough to at least make the Strata Rock Abyss quiet for a while?"

He still had those big clear eyes, looking at Sasuke brightly.

Sasuke didn't see any clues from Paimon's expression.

However, judging from the various details and clues he had discovered before, Paimon must be related to this crystal that Wendy called the 'nail'.

At the same time, the crystal stone and the black mud seem to have a mutually restrained relationship.

The crystal can melt and eliminate the black mud, and the crystal seems to be corrupted by the black mud.

The abyss is related to the black mud, so what is opposed to the abyss...should be the law of heaven?

Paimon should have some connection with Tianli.

But there's no use thinking about it now. Paimon doesn't want to say anything now, and Sasuke doesn't want to force him.

……

The matter was temporarily resolved, Sasuke encouraged Longyi to go all the way up and return to the surface.

At this time, Zhongli and Wendy were at the door of the secret passage. When he saw Sasuke coming up, Zhongli didn't say anything, but just nodded towards Sasuke.

Wendy breathed a sigh of relief and then said:
"Oh, Sasuke, you finally came up. You guys stayed down long enough this time. If you don't come up again, Liyue may be in for a big surprise."

Frightened?What scare?
Seeing Sasuke's confused expression, Wendy chuckled.

"Do you think the people of Liyue, who have just held the Immortal Presentation Ceremony, will be frightened if they suddenly feel the power of Emperor Yan again?"

"Really? Old man?"

As he spoke, he winked at Zhongli.

Feel the power of the Rock King again?

Zhongli, who was teased like this, just smiled faintly.

"It doesn't matter, just postpone retirement for a while."

This was revealed by Wendy without hesitation.

"Oh? Sasuke, don't look at how relaxed the old man is now. You don't know that he was walking around just now. He wasn't necessarily so nervous during the Demon War, right?"

Zhongli's arms were slightly raised with one finger.

In an instant, Wendy changed her expression.

"Oh, maybe I haven't rested for too long and I made a mistake."

"By the way, Sasuke, let's get down to business. You've been down there for so long. What happened?"

Seeing that Wendy finally started talking about business, Zhongli lowered his raised finger again.

What is this all about?

Sasuke didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He also guessed a little bit from Wendy's words that Zhongli was worried about him during the time he was down there.

Not only did they follow him, but when he didn't come up for a long time, the opponent seemed to be planning to temporarily abandon his retirement plan and regain power.

Perhaps it was because he was worried about something unexpected happening to him in the Strata Rock Abyss?

There seemed to be a warm current flowing through my chest.

Then, he summarized what happened underground later.From encountering the black mist, to meeting the Princess of the Abyss and their purification device, to the crystal 'nail' wrapped in black mud.

After telling the story, Sasuke asked about his confusion:
"Wendy, before you go down, you said that crystal was a nail. What on earth is it?"

Hearing Sasuke's question, Wendy first looked at Zhongli. After Zhongli nodded slightly, Wendy said:
"That nail was actually a tool against the Abyss. In the distant past, it repaired the cracks in Teyvat."

"The black mud used by the princess of the Abyss Cult is another form of existence of forbidden knowledge. It is a product of power that has the same origin as the Abyss."

"It has the power to purify and stabilize the power of Teyvat where it should not exist."

What is taboo knowledge?
When Sasuke asked this question, he found Wendy raising her head again.

It's still a familiar action.

But this is actually an answer.

Sasuke combined the ruins underneath, the nails there, and the large amount of black mud to see that the demise of this ancient civilization under the rocky abyss should be related to forbidden knowledge.

But Wendy's words about the power that shouldn't be in Teyvat made Sasuke feel that he had something else to say.

The power of Teyvat should not exist...

Then my chakra should not have the power of Teyvat, right?

But when he came into contact with the crystal stone, he was fine.

and many more……

Teyvat's power is elemental power.

And now the power I use, after combining with the Seven Heavenly Gods, has become the elemental power chakra...

Paimon also said at that time that the elements of this world responded to your prayers. I think this is a good sign.

I see……

For a moment, Sasuke felt enlightened.

At this time, Zhongli suddenly said:
"Sasuke, I remember that your main attack method is related to thunder, right?"

This sentence left Sasuke a little confused.

He nodded.

"Ah."

"The style of your name is also very similar to the Rice Wife in our world. The ruling god there also happens to use the thunder attribute."

"After you finish repairing here, it's time to set off to visit Inazuma."

"Now that the matter here has been resolved, let's go back to Liyue and take a rest."

Zhongli would not say such words for no reason, it was more like a hint.

In particular, the topic touched on forbidden knowledge and Sky Island.

At the same time, he felt as if he was gradually touching some of the threads of this world.

Paimon, the statue of the Seven Heavens, elemental chakra, and his own Sharingan.

Sky, Ying, Abyss, Canrea...

Everything seems to be connecting gradually.

……

The execution time of the Layer Rock Abyss this time was not very long, but it consumed a lot of energy.

Sasuke returned to Liyue under the guidance of Wendy Qianfeng, first took a good bath, and then had a feast with Paimon.

On the way back, Sasuke learned that Zhiqiong had been sent back to Liyue by Wendy first, and at the same time, the girl with excellent drawing ability was given a wind attribute God's Eye.

With the god's attention, she would be more confident if she wanted to go on his adventure again.

This is also good news.

At the same time, through this incident, Sasuke also figured out something that he had never figured out before.

About that voice.

Before, he had wondered why he helped the gods so much, whether it was Wendy, Zhongli, or the original Paimon.

That inner voice never reminded me and gained their approval.

But at the same time, he received gifts from them.

It's not that they didn't recognize themselves, it's more like they recognized themselves from the beginning, the moment they came into contact with the Seven-Heaven Statue.
