Zongman: A Traveling Journey Starting from the Supreme

"I've been in this snow mountain since I was born, and I haven't seen the outside world yet."

Barbatos said so, he took the piano, and walked briskly to the ruins of the high tower.

Xixiang followed behind him, nodded and said: "...Yes, if you want to hear it, I will tell you the story of Liyue and Dao's wife."

Barbatos stopped in his tracks. The handsome wind god borrowed his friend's appearance and said happily, "... Liyue and Daowife? Well, I really want to hear poetry from other countries."

".... The 09 demon god who used to be Gaefeng blew a violent wind and did not allow the Mond people to communicate with the outside world, but occasionally some merchants from Liyue were allowed to come to this royal city."

"I have only heard of such a place, Daozuma, but I have never been there."

Barbatos didn't walk into the crowd, he just sat down in the ruins of a tall tower that overlooked the royal city better.

He sat on the edge of the high tower wall, dangling his legs, with a warm smile on his face, looking at the whole city happily.

"Although I haven't seen the Gale Demon God, it is because of his existence that these human beings can live in this cold and desolate domain."

Xixiang walked to Barbatos and sat down. He also looked at the people of Mond and spoke slowly.

"You're right. People can live here thanks to Dekarapian's efforts."

"... If He could understand people's psychology of pursuing freedom and leave a door leading to the outside world in the strong wind, then there would be no such thing as today."

Barbatos felt a little regretful, if Dekarapian was as he said, then the seat of the God of Wind must be that Demon God.

Barbatos doesn't care about the position of Fengshen, what he and his friends pursue is the longing for happiness and freedom.

"The girl who died was called Amos. She thought she was favored by the Demon God, but she didn't realize until before she died that the Demon God never loved her. The Demon God's love is fraternity."

"...Before she dies, before she bravely shoots an arrow at Dekarapian, no one will know her name."

Barbatos pointed to a dead girl with bare feet.

Then, his finger pointed at a red-haired man with a beard and scars all over his body like a knight.

"That's Lagenfinder. He was an unknown knight, but he bravely raised his sword against the brutal lord."

"...and my dead friend, who was an unknown teenager, and me, an unknown weak poet."

"Just like the records in the hero's biography, four unknown and weak people bravely stood in front of the enemy." "...but the result is not as magnificent as in the poem, and can only be described as miserable and embarrassing. "

"Hey, we didn't defeat Dekarapian at all. It was he who woke up at the end that he was not loved by people."

"...It turns out that the reason why people bowed down for him was not that he was worshiped, but that under the strong wind, people had to bow their heads to the tyrant."

"Dekarapian gave up his life and even his power in the end, so at the end of the story, the devil is more like a hero." Barbatos is like letting Xixiang remember what happened in this Mongolia Like all the stories of De, he told him his life and everything he had experienced.

Xixiang didn't interrupt him, just listened quietly, being a qualified listener.

At this time, the half-destroyed royal city heard noises again, and a group of weather-stained people staggered back to the city from the snow-covered mountains.Barbatos pointed at the blond woman at the head, and said happily: "...that's Gurnhilde. She was dissatisfied with the cruel rule of the tyrant, and she left the royal city with some people, and finally got lost in the blizzard-filled In the mountains." "They prayed in the mountains and were heard by some kind wind spirit."

"...Under their prayers, the Wind Spirit gained strength and sheltered her and her followers in the deep mountains full of blizzards." Barbatos had a playful look on his face, and he told the story The wind elf in it is himself.

He was originally a ray in a thousand winds, insignificant.

It was under the prayer of a group of wanderers seeking freedom headed by Gurnhild that he obtained the 'power of man' and thus possessed strength. "She's looking for you."

Xixiang stared at Gurnhilde. She had a straight appearance, a serious face, and long golden hair as beautiful as the morning sun.

At this time, Gunnhild was wandering back and forth in the city, as if looking for someone.

"Well, she's looking for me, but now is not the time for her to find me. Wind elves like hide and seek best." "...Come with me, I'll take you somewhere."

Barbatos stood up, and he greeted Xixiang cheerfully, beckoning him to follow.

The wind spirit in the past, the current wind god is quite free and easy, he doesn't seem to care about anything, he just pursues the free wind.

For this free poetry, even his own life, the so-called Fengshen position can be given up.

Saigo stood up and followed Barbatos' pace.

Not long after, Xixiang listened to the sound of the wind, and came to a nearly dilapidated temple with Barbatos. "This is the Temple of Thousand Winds, where the ancestors of the past worshiped the God of Thousand Winds."

"...It's just that they made a wrong sacrifice. The god of thousands of winds is the god of thousands of winds, and the god of winds is the god of wind." "The wind brings stories, and time makes them germinate", the ancestors mistaken the time Sacrifice with the God of Wind." 420 Barbatos didn't care about the mess of the temple, he sat down on the dusty stone slabs of the main hall, and continued to pluck the strings of his zither.

"Just wait here, and soon you will be able to meet the person you want to see."

"...I want to write a poem here, write those nameless people in the story, and let them blow with the wind to all parts of the world."

"Even after thousands of years, some people still remember their stupid and happy adventures."

Barbatos said in an aria-like voice.

Immediately, he looked at Xixiang again, blinked and said: "...I have fulfilled your request, and then you must tell me the stories of other regions."

“….…if, I mean if, it would be nice to have a glass of wine while the story is being told.”

Xixiang stared at the statue in the Temple of Thousand Winds, where he could already feel the flow of time.

Hearing what Barbatos said, Xixiang looked at the Fengshen and said with a smile: "... People trade wine for stories."

"...you are fine, but it is the storyteller who wants to bring you wine."

Barbatos said "Hey", he was very thick-skinned and didn't care about Xixiang's words at all.

While Xixiang was talking to Barbatos, the flow of time in this temple suddenly became chaotic.

In the turbulent flow of time, Xixiang saw a beautiful and elegant figure emerging from it.

Saigo knows that it is time to rule—Istaru! .

Reward, share, report, comment

The first one and the third throne in chapter five, Zarathustra!

In front of Xixiang, a turbulent flow of time appeared in this temple of thousands of winds.

And in the turbulent flow, a beautiful goddess can be vaguely seen ups and downs in it.

The goddess couldn't see her face clearly, and her whole body was disturbed by the turbulent flow of time and space, making people guess that her body was not in this time and space.

But only from the chaotic flow, one can get a glimpse of her general appearance.

She has beautiful white hair, and her facial features are blurred, but it can be generally seen that she is a rare beauty.

His figure is slender, even if he is wandering in the turbulence of time and space, he can still see his slender legs and skin like creamy fat.

This time ruler wears a completely different style of clothing from the Tivat continent, with a sense of technology, and the long cloak-like clothes flutter in the wind.

And between his hands, there is still the fine sand that symbolizes time flowing gently.

"Istaru, the eternal god of the people under the deep, I don't think this is the first time we have met."

Seeing Istaru's body, Saigo said slowly.

Istaru didn't make a sound, her golden eyes shone with a glint, and she glanced at Barbatos.

Fengshen, who was playing the piano, noticed his gaze. He stood up and said with a light smile, "...Hey, I'll wait for you outside the temple."

"...Zarathustra, don't run away, tell me a story as promised!"

Saying this, the Fengshen passed away with the breeze and left the temple.

And there is no air flow in the entire temple.

Because Fengshen can hear distant voices from the wind, Istaru stopped the flow of the wind, just to prevent Barbatos from hearing her and Saigo's next words.

What the two said next, if Barbatos listened, it would not be a good thing for him.

"From outside this planet, from an existence outside this world, this is the second time we have met."

"...In the chaos of time, I noticed your existence. Because of your appearance, the time of the whole world has changed."

"Even the 'reason' has undergone unknown changes."

Istaru's voice came from the turbulent flow of time and space, and her voice was like a mosaic with rustling behind a veil.

The first time the two met was in Yuanxia, ​​Xixiang had noticed the appearance of the phantom who ruled in time.

"It seems that you have read "The Sun and the Moon" and know the past history of this world~."

"...Then I'm here to ask you, are you the 'Third Throne'?"

There was a trace of tension in the words of Time Ruling, and there was also a trace of imperceptible excitement.

From Istaru's emotions, Xixiang roughly guessed her thoughts, and also verified his guess.

It seems that in that battle, the Second Throne finally defeated the First Throne.

And Istaru suspects that he is the "third throne" from a foreign land, if Xixiang is really the third throne, and he is also interested in the Tivat continent.

Then, in order to gain the ruling power of this world, Xixiang must go to Tiantian Island and overthrow the second throne.

Although for the first throne, both the second and third thrones are invaders.

But this Istaru, who was caught in a battle with the Second Throne, would prefer to see the fall of the Second Throne.

"The third throne? If you want to call me that, there is no problem."

"...But I am more related to the 'reason' you have received."

After Saigo finished speaking, he stared at Istaru closely.

Even the turbulent flow of space at that time could not completely cover Xixiang's sight.

"you……"

Sure enough, just as Xixiang thought, after Istaru heard the word 'reason', her pupils shrank a little. This answer was beyond her expectation.

"Sure enough, the four ruling powers of your life and death time and space were split because of that 'reason'."

"...Now it seems that 'Li' is still in Sky Island, controlled by the Second Throne."

Xixiang showed such an expression as expected.

This world, just as I thought, also has fragments of the mother of the evil gods. That power with full authority is the foundation for the First Throne to create the Tivat continent.

And the power that people in this world can't understand is called the "law of heaven" by them.

Seeing that the time in front of him is in power, Xixiang feels joy in his heart.

As one of the dualities in Zoroastrianism, the mother of the evil god resides at the extreme of evil and opposes the good god.

But this duality is completely limited to the concept of 'good and evil', so that although the mother of the evil god and the good god have full power, they also lose further possibilities.

But after the death of the Mother of the Evil God, after her spirituality and power fell apart, the people who got some of her fragments in later generations used this insignificant power to derive more infinite possibilities!

It's not that the Mother of the Evil God doesn't have the ability to manipulate the time and space of life and death. As a person in the full domain, the Mother of the Evil God certainly has such power.

It's just that the mother of the evil god did all this because she derived the power of "evil" from the foundation of "evil".

The mother of evil gods can achieve phenomena, but cannot control the essence.

This is because the mother of evil gods is limited to the category of 'evil', which is the duality of Zoroastrianism and the world view of Zoroastrianism.

The Mother of Evil Gods cannot escape the limitations of this worldview.

The Mother of the Evil God cannot be changed when she is in a complete state, but now her power is broken, and most of the power has been obtained by Xixiang.

As Saigo regroups this power, he is instead able to add other things to this duality.

For a moment, sparks of wisdom collided in Xixiang's mind, and countless ideas came out.

He even wondered if it was because he couldn't go any further that the Mother of the Evil God chose such a self-destructive method to break up the spirit and reintegrate it?

Of course, this is just Xixiang's idea.

While thinking about it, Xixiang was even more convinced that his initial thoughts were correct, and that it was also correct to come to see this time in power.He opened his mouth slowly and said: ".....The 'reason' on Sky Island is no longer important to me." "....I am more interested in the power you four rulers have."

"Istaru, give me part of the source of the power of time that you have mastered, and if the other three ruling powers are also with you, give them to me too." "...In return, I can take away Take the 'Crown of Reason', and even help the original person, and lift up the throne again! (It's gone)" When Xixiang deduced that each world has the power fragment of the mother of evil gods by going to different worlds.

He concluded that the Tivat continent was transformed by the power of the fragments of the "First Throne" from the Mother of the Evil God.

In the "Sun and Moon Before Things" record, the first throne split into four shadows, that is, the four rulers of life and death, time and space.

This made Xixiang feel strange, because the power of the mother of evil gods should not be separated into such a clear dualistic realm.

If the first throne is divided into two ruling parties, such as 'death' and any one of time and space, it is normal.

But it is not normal for all the opposing and unified forces of life and death time and space to appear.

Now that he has seen the time rule Istaru with his own eyes, Saigo finally confirmed his guess.

The power of the mother of evil gods has new possibilities, and it is this possibility that Xixiang needs.

Sure enough, no matter how weak a person is, their existence may bring changes that people cannot fathom.
