The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 308 is no exception

"What's wrong Tianfeng?"

Ying looked concerned and waved his hand to disperse the mist around the two people: "Did you catch a cold from being too high up, or did you just eat something bad?"

"How could I catch a cold... I guess someone is talking about me behind my back."

Chen Tianfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head and looked down at the entire Haiqi Island. "Is the harmful energy of Haiqi Island the darkness of Yuanxia Palace, or is it the thing that caused the land of Haiqi Island to become [holy soil]?"

He and Ying went all the way to Qinglai Island, Heguan, Shenwuzhong and Bayun Island, dealing with thunderstorms, fog, the trembling formless fire and the "nuclear waste water" caused by someone's excessive effort.

Thunderstorm has a crispy texture, quite similar to spicy potato chips; Mist is soft and has a long aftertaste, but it is slightly bitter, like marshmallows with bitter melon juice.

The Formless Fire voluntarily gave up most of its energy and turned into a red spherical crystal that looked and tasted like an apple. It then entered a deep slumber and it would probably take at least a hundred years for it to even have the strength to wake up.

Chen Tianfeng was very satisfied with all three, but what left a deep impression on him was the "nuclear waste water" in the narrow space of the Wuxiang Blade.

It tasted like salted fish that had been dried for at least a hundred years and was really hard to swallow. Fortunately, the Divine Sakura Tree had no sense of taste and didn't mind it, so Chen Tianfeng threw it all to the Divine Sakura.

And Haigi Island is the last stop for the two.

"All."

Ying nodded lightly, without reminding Chen Tianfeng that the two were probably the same harmful energy, and said: "One of the reasons why the Coral Palace has lasted for a thousand years is that the land of Haiji Island has the problem of [sanctification]."

[Sanctification] will make the land barren, reduce the cultivated area, and greatly increase the survival pressure of the people of Kaigi Island. And for thousands of years, the only one who can effectively curb and reverse [Sanctification] is the Coral Palace Priestess, or more accurately, the contemporary Shinto Priestess who personally presides over the [Kaigi Imperial Spirit Festival].

That is why Ying said that the Coral Palace has been able to continue to this day, and [Sanctification] has played a very important role.

The reason why the Coral Palace was dismantled so neatly this time was naturally because they knew that Chen Tianfeng could devour all living things. If Chen Tianfeng had not taken the initiative to express his intention to help Inazuma clean up the hidden dangers, Ying and Shenzi would have asked him for help before they left.

"I understand. Leave it to me."

Chen Tianfeng stretched out his hand and pressed down.

next moment,
Endless gray-white tree roots either stretched out their bodies, dancing like mad snakes, or dived straight down, ignoring the seal and confinement, occupying the entire Haiqi Island, greedily searching for every bit of "abnormal energy".

The body of the Formless Water, hiding in a cave somewhere, stiffened for a moment, and then it felt a sense of relief that "it's finally here". Without hesitation, it gave up most of its energy like the Formless Fire, condensing it into a ball of jelly-like dark blue gel, and presented it to the gray-white tree roots with an attentive and flattering intention, then drilled into the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

As early as five hundred years ago, after sensing the existence of the gray-white tree roots for the first time, the two formless monsters were ready to sacrifice energy in exchange for survival. It's not that they didn't think about escaping, but when they sensed the gray-white tree roots, the gray-white tree roots also sensed them and marked them, as if waiting to be harvested.

The two formless monsters gave up on escaping and secretly breathed a sigh of relief - as long as they didn't devour them completely and just took some energy, it would be okay to treat them as special plants that could be recycled and picked. After all, they were still alive, right?

About half a quarter of an hour later, the gray-white tree roots re-emerged underground.

"ended."

Chen Tianfeng withdrew his hand, took a bite of the dark blue jelly, and his eyes lit up.

As expected of a product from the Wuxiang series, its taste and texture are flawless. This jelly is sweet and refreshing, much better than the salted fish chopped by a woman with a knife at her chest... the goddess.

Chen Tianfeng glanced at Ying, muttered a few words inwardly, swallowed the last bite of jelly, and clapped his hands: "The darkness in Yuanxia Palace will be normal darkness from now on. There will be no erosion and no danger, and the [Holy Landization] of Haiqi Island will no longer exist." He did not mention the fate of the group of dragon lizards in Yuanxia Palace, and Ying did not care. A group of inhuman monsters hostile to humans, if they died, they died. She was a human god, so naturally she had no sympathy or pity for them.

"Luckily you're here."

Ying breathed a sigh of relief and didn't say any words of thanks, nor did he mention any compensation - now, including her, everything of Inazuma belonged to Chen Tianfeng, so what was the point of talking about compensation?
The corners of her lips curled up slightly, she looked down, and was suddenly stunned, hesitantly said: "Haigo Island... Why do I feel like something is missing?"

For a long time, Haigi Island has been under the jurisdiction of the Coral Palace. The name Coral Palace comes from the fact that there are many corals on Haigi Island. The most eye-catching one is the giant coral behind the Coral Palace.

And now...

Ying blinked, and after confirming that he was not mistaken, he asked in astonishment: "Where are the corals on Haiqi Island?"

How come not a single coral was left? Even the giant coral behind the Coral Palace was gone!
"Well, I ate it."

Chen Tianfeng coughed, and in the face of Ying's increasingly stunned gaze of "Why did you even eat the coral?" he explained, "It's not that I have to eat it, but the energy entrenched in Haiqi Island is very stubborn, and it has a vague binding relationship with the coral. Only by eating the coral can we prevent it from making a comeback."

"……I see."

Ying reluctantly nodded, and after thinking about it, he suddenly felt that it was a good thing that all the corals on Haigi Island were eaten up. It would make the people of Haigi Island surrender faster and more thoroughly, and completely forget the existence of the Coral Palace.

If hundreds of years later, someone has nothing to do and wants to research the history of the Coral Palace, and after going through great pains to find the remaining books, and sees records such as "The Coral Palace is backed by a huge coral, which is the origin of its name and also the proof of the approval of the gods", and then thinks of the "real appearance" of Kaigi Island, he will naturally doubt the authenticity of the books.

After all, there are no corals on Haigi Island, so how could there be a coral palace?

It is even more ridiculous that there are gods after the Coral Palace - from the beginning to the end of Inazuma, there is only one god, General Raiden.

Ying collected his thoughts and thought that he should discuss with Yae Shinko and Kitsunayomiya to see if the idea could be turned into reality. They were better at planning a plan that could easily last for a hundred years.

"Tian Feng, when are you going to Xumi?"

"The sooner the better."

Chen Tianfeng thought for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly: "After all, the World Tree is the foundation of the world of Teyvat. Maybe many beings will come forward to stop it. So the faster we do it, the more we catch them off guard, the better it is for me."

"I will go with you."

Ying did not hesitate at all, with murderous intent: "My naginata will cut through all obstacles for you!"

"Not really, not really. Right now, not many beings know that I'm targeting the World Tree. If I go alone, no one will jump out in the early stages. If you go with me, too many people will get nervous."

Chen Tianfeng shook his head and refused, jokingly saying, "Besides, the trip to Xumi might even awaken the principles of heaven. Inazuma has just recovered her vitality, so she should rest and recuperate. It's better not to take risks with me."

"I understand. This 'understand' is the first sentence in my answer to you. The second sentence..."

Ying nodded, then his expression became serious, his eyes looked extremely serious: "Tianfeng, I said, my naginata will cut through all obstacles for you - even the law of nature is no exception!"
