The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 302 Original Law
The gray-white flames penetrated into the earth veins, traveling through almost endless information, moving aimlessly but leaving traces wherever they passed.

It was a grayish-white line that did not look clear, and even had broken points in some places. However, these traces clung to the earth veins like a cancer, and no matter what kind of screening, rejection and cleaning system the earth veins activated, they could not be driven away.

Chen Tianfeng is searching for the secret of soul resurrection in the earth veins, and also looking for evidence of Lei Dian's true death. Now he has forcibly witnessed Inazuma's 500-year history, taking all deaths into his hands, and reshaping and strengthening the time ring in other ways, but still has not found any traces of the former two.

Where exactly?
It clearly feels like it's just a little bit off, but how can I make this little bit of inspiration appear successfully?
Chen Tianfeng frowned, without any reservation, his perception spread out in all directions, following the path opened up by the gray-white flames. He no longer pretended to be gentle, but unceremoniously showed the hideous side of the alien god to the earth veins.

——You have already tricked this “ignorant girl” Dimai out and got her drunk, why are you still pretending to be a gentleman?
Of course, do whatever is comfortable for you!
Then countless gray-white flames burned rapidly, faintly condensing into snake shadows one after another, no longer gentle or hesitant, and raged violently in the earth veins.

A large amount of [memories] and [history] were devoured by the gray-white flames, and countless earth veins turned gray.

Finally, at a certain moment, the gray-white flame stopped.

Chen Tianfeng finally found the proof of Lei Dian's death in the geomantic records. He saw her breath stop and her vitality disappear. He saw her body lose temperature and her soul return to heaven and earth. Everything was quiet, as if it was exactly the same as the end of life of creatures in other worlds, quiet and peaceful.

Chen Tianfeng frowned.

This is very wrong.

The demons of Teyvat are undoubtedly special. Although they are also creatures of the world, their deaths should never be so peaceful, even if it is in the earth veins.

He intercepted this recording, watched it repeatedly, and finally found a subtle abnormality: when Lei Dian's soul returned and disappeared, something separated from the soul.

Chen Tianfeng narrowed his eyes, grasping this slight abnormality, following the connection, sensing and diving rapidly, to the place where the separated objects arrived. He sensed this special place, hesitated for a moment, and swallowed a few of the separated objects at random with a try-it mentality.

This is……!
Chen Tianfeng's eyes suddenly widened, and he "looked" at the separated objects densely packed in front of him like a vast ocean, and finally figured out what they were - memories!
These are actually the materialized memories of the deaths of one living being after another!

But why is it memory?
Why do memories separate from dead souls?

Chen Tianfeng's eyes flickered, and he no longer cared about this sea of ​​memories. Gray-white flames erupted and suddenly drilled into the deepest part of the ocean.

There must be something hidden under the sea of ​​memory, maybe that is what I need!

He fell like a meteorite, crashing into the sea of ​​memory, creating "waves" tens of meters high.

One second, two seconds... one hour, two hours...

After an unknown amount of time, the God of Death broke through the obstacles, and a hand surrounded by gray-white flames stretched out from the sea of ​​​​memory, tearing a hideous gap.

Amidst waves of intense dizziness, Chen Tianfeng walked out of the crack and looked back thoughtfully at the sea of ​​memories.

Down is up, or maybe up and down are actually reversed... This ocean of memory is actually an upside-down sea.

He retracted his gaze and "looked up." His gray-white snake pupils suddenly shrank, followed by an endless smile.

"Ah, I see you."

He sighed, staring at the strange tree that could not be described in mortal language or summarized by mortal common sense. It emitted a strange glow, and through that light, it seemed that he could see the laws of the world one after another.

For the first time, the fundamental laws of the world of Teyvat were exposed before Him without any concealment, like a shy girl waiting to be picked.

"The World Tree...body, soul, memories, wishes...I see."

The otherworldly god suddenly dissipated, leaving only a wisp of gray flame, which turned into a small snake and quietly drilled into the World Tree, lying dormant. …

Rice wife, castle tower.

After reviewing the documents submitted by the Third Magistrate, Yae Shenzi glanced at Paimeng who was sleeping soundly on the table beside him, gently put down his pen, gave Ying a wink, and they stood up and walked to the terrace together.

"Hmm~"

"Ha~"

They both stretched at the same time, letting out comfortable moans from their noses.

The former is refreshing and full of girlishness, while the latter is full of the charm of a mature older sister.

"It's really troublesome to handle government affairs. Alas, I'm already regretting agreeing to help her for two hundred years."

Miss Fox sighed in distress, leaned against the railing, rested her chin on her hand, and looked in the direction of the sacred cherry tree: "When Ying comes back, I must discuss it with her and see if I can reduce the years by a hundred years, or even fifty years."

Ying thought about it and shook her head: "Not very realistic. Maybe when she comes back, it will take another two hundred years."

As for why... of course it's because Ying is now acting with Tianfeng. It's not that Tianfeng will bewitch her or something, but this Inazuma Mingshen is likely to learn Tianfeng's "experience in governing the country" involuntarily.

"Ugh……"

Yae Shenzi sighed again and muttered softly: "It would be great if I could really come back."

She stared at the sacred cherry tree for a long time before she looked away. After blessing Ying in her heart, she moved her wrist slightly and was about to return to the room to devote herself to the hard work of paperwork again.

The next moment, Yae Goddess suddenly became dazed for a moment, his body swayed a little, and he subconsciously grabbed the railing, trying to steady himself, but he grabbed nothing.

"Son of God? What's wrong with you?"

Ying noticed something was wrong and quickly supported her.

"Hiss... My head hurts. No, there seems to be a lot of extra things in my head..."

Yae Shinko grabbed Ying's arm with one hand and pressed his temple with the other, trying to sort out the memories that suddenly popped up in his mind bit by bit, but he was suddenly stunned, raised his head, and looked at Ying with a confused look mixed with a bit of panic: "Ying, you! Do you still remember what color the petals of the sacred cherry tree are?!"

What is the color of the sacred cherry blossom petals?
Ying was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Yae Shenzi asked this, but she immediately replied: "It's cherry pink, Shenzi, what's wrong with you?"

"Cherry pink... Cherry pink..."

Yae Shinko let go of Ying's arm and staggered back two steps: "Yes, it should be cherry pink. There is something wrong with my memory..."

Before she finished her words, her eyes suddenly widened, staring at the red cherry blossoms that were falling onto the terrace. Her breath got stuck in her throat, and it took her a long while before she uttered a sound: "Sakura...pink?"

Surprisingly, half of the falling cherry blossom petals were grayish white!
