Inquirer of Teyvat

Chapter 365 [Shadow of the God-King of the Past] (5k)

After three days,
Dachishahai, a remote corner,
Nearly a hundred holy skeleton warriors surrounded this place heavily,

In the middle of the crowd is Wang Daoyi in white clothes with gold trim,

Sitting in the center, Wang Dao looked at the sky, and then said to the people waiting beside him, "Are you all ready?"

"Don't worry, the pulsation of the earth's veins and the suppression of the magic circle, unless a strong person personally destroys it, don't even think about moving the earth's pulse here today." Niguled said lightly,

Although he didn't know why Wang Daoyi asked him to prepare these, he still tried his best to fulfill Wang Daoyi's request and suppressed this land vein.

"Well, okay, thank you very much." Wang Dao nodded.

"Ha." Niguled smiled, and then said, "You are my lord in name, so don't be so polite."

Wang Daoyi shook his head slightly, with a smile still on his face: "I'm afraid that Abedo will say that I oppressed you later."

The only alchemist that Chisha can handle at present is Niguled, so many alchemy needs are concentrated on him alone, and the workload can be called abuse.

However, Nicolaide himself enjoyed it, he liked the feeling of being needed.

"With these ley line stones and magic circles, plus the protection of Niguled and nearly a hundred holy skeleton warriors, it should not be a big problem to light up the fifth star."

Before, when Wang Daoyi lit up the fourth life star in Liyue, Zhongli called Mandrill to protect him.
And the situation at that time was indeed dangerous.

According to Mandrill, after Wang Daoyi entered the False Heaven, an inexplicable fluctuation affected the Tianheng Mountain's veins, causing various monsters to attack Wang Daoyi, and finally even the resentment of the demon god appeared.

And later, when Wang Daoyi smoothed the Tianheng Mountain's veins, he did find out that the veins were abnormal.
So, when preparing to light up the fifth life star in the desert,
Wang Daoyi began to prepare various things to suppress the leylines.

The combination of the earth vein stone suppressor, the earth vein magic circle, and the holy skeleton warrior, Niguled, should be enough to protect him from lighting up the fifth life star.

"Nigreed, I'm going to enter the false sky. There may be anomalies in the leylines in a while. Please control the stone and magic circle to suppress the leylines. The soldiers will guard this place and don't let the monsters have a chance to get close."

Nicolaide: "Don't worry, there's no problem."

All the soldiers: "Yes, my God."

Nodding slightly, Wang Dao waved his hand,
On the yellow sand, a rock platform rose slowly, supporting Wang Daoyi's body.

Closing his eyes and thinking about it, his thoughts once again came to the abyss-like starry sky.

Familiar with the road, he set off to the explorer seat, and quickly skipped the clusters of fate seats of various shapes.

Maybe it's giving up, or maybe it's brewing a big one,
The pitch-black chain composed of black squares did not appear beside Wang Daoyi.

It didn't even appear within his perception range.

All the way to the side of the explorer seat,

Like a half-length figure holding a book in both hands, Wang Daoyi's Seat of Fate gradually brightened. When Wang Daoyi approached, it was already shining brightly, and the shining light made the surroundings look even darker.

Feeling the kindness from the Seat of Fate, Wang Daoyi's eyes were not happy, but rather surprised.

The maintainer behind the false sky has not come out to stop him, which is not right.

It's like you know that you are breaking the rules, but the law enforcers turn a blind eye to you,
This kind of unreasonable thing often represents a greater danger hidden behind.

but,

Up to now, Wang Daoyi can't back down,
"Since you don't come out, then I won't be polite."

Stretch out your finger, a gleam of light blooms, and head towards the dim fifth star point on the Seat of Fate,
On the Seat of Fate, the Fifth Fate Star vibrated slightly, and a ray of light was born inside, wanting to respond to Wang Daoyi's hint.

As the fingers got closer to the fifth star, Wang Daoyi became more and more vigilant in his heart, and his perception was fully opened, guarding against the dark chains that might surprise from the void at any time.

However, until Wang Dao's finger came into contact with the fifth star, nothing abnormal happened.

Seeing the radiance of the fifth life star, Wang Daoyi became more and more puzzled.

"Is this...the keeper accepting his fate? Or, is there some factor that I don't know about getting involved?"

Various thoughts circulated in Wang Dao's mind,

And his eyes are looking at the screen projection in the fifth star,

Before a great golden throne,

A thin figure is looking at the nothingness in front of him,
And in the nothingness in front of the thin figure, there are other pictures appearing,
It was in a garden of roses, three beings wearing crowns were communicating,

Then one of the beings noticed the peeping of the thin figure and shook his head at him. Finally, the picture was broken,

The thin figure came back to his senses, and a faint light appeared in front of him,
As soon as Wang Dao knew, that thin figure was himself, and these scenes were the scenes where he gained power in the Scarlet King's Holy Manifestation Hall.

The pictures flowed, scenes of what Wang Daoyi did in the desert appeared in it,
Incarnation of the image of the Red King, the scene of giving relief to the last Red King believers,
Manipulate the scene where the sandstorm sweeps across the desert,
The scene of establishing the Chisha tribal alliance,
Build statues of gods, broadcast authoritative scenes,
Until three days ago, the scene where Wang Daoyi and Naxida signed the divine contract with each other.

Before Wang Daoyi could react, countless scenes gathered and then exploded.

A phantom figure appeared in front of him.

With white hair, golden eyes, and a crown on his head, he has a heroic demeanor, a stern expression, and a sense of majesty all over his body.

". Red King."

Looking at the illusory figure in front of him, Wang Dao narrowed his eyes and revealed his identity.

While Wang Daoyi looked at the 'Red King', the other party was also looking at him,
The illusory figure of the 'Red King' became more and more solid, as if this ancient god-king was about to return from time,

"Long time no see, my successor, my brother, my heir."

The solemnity in Wang Dao's eyes dissipated, replaced by a look of bewilderment,
The successor, even the brother, Wang Daoyi can understand,
But what the hell is an heir?

"You seem puzzled?"

"Of course I have doubts. I have inherited your authority. If I say successor, I agree. I have learned your form. If I say brother, I can understand."

There was doubt and a trace of resistance in Wang Dao's eyes, "But, son, I can't understand this word. Do I have anything to do with you?"

The 'Red King' looked at Wang Daoyi, his eyes became more and more satisfied, and the strands of admiration seemed to be overflowing.

"Of course it matters. The moment you accept my gift, you are my heir."

'Red King' nodded, then looked at Wang Daoyi's strange expression, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, what are you thinking, don't use mortal thinking to think about the words of gods, in the eyes of gods, the words about children The definition is not so narrow."

"You have inherited my authority, my form, and even my people, so why can't you be called my heir?"

Wang Daoyi was stunned, did he explain it like this?
However, after hearing this explanation, his resistance to the word "children" was not so great.

According to the Red King's statement, it is nothing more than a different kind of incense inheritance.
It is similar to the meaning of the ancient long house cutting off the incense and adopting one from the second house.

"So that's it, I'm really narrow-minded." Wang Dao nodded, and then looked at the phantom of the Scarlet King in front of him, "But why did you appear here?"

Although he recognized what the 'Red King' said, it doesn't mean that he won't be on guard against the king's way.
This is a false sky, and even next to it is the seat of your own destiny,
An existence at the level of a god king, an existence that had been agreed to have dissipated, suddenly appeared here, and Wang Daoyi's inner vigilance was already full.

"Being vigilant is a good thing, but it doesn't have to be the case for me. What is standing in front of you now is just the information I left in the World Tree, not the real Scarlet King."

His words are a bit forgiving, on the one hand he thinks he is the Red King, on the other hand he denies that he is the real Red King,

However, Wang Daoyi can understand that the other party's current state is like the King of the Great Mercy Tree in the secret realm of the World Tree,
The real King of the Great Mercy Tree has long since died, and what remains in the World Tree is the last remnant of the King of the Great Mercy Tree.

The Scarlet King in front of him is probably in this state.

"Then why are you here?"

"Naturally I came here for you, my successor, can you tell me, is the current Great Red Sand Sea okay?" Chi Wang Xuying looked at Wang Daoyi and asked, with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

"It's not good. After you fell, later generations distorted history and regarded the rainforest as an enemy. The Dachisha Sea Dynasty stood up and fell apart, and the civilization of the people of the sand plummeted."

Wang Daoyi described the evolution of the desert for thousands of years,

Chi Wang listened quietly, without any expression on his face, as if he had expected it long ago.

for a long time,

"Oh, yes, at least they reproduced and survived."

Scarlet King Xuying showed no sympathy for Sha Zhimin's miserable situation, but smiled instead.

"You don't seem to care about them?" Wang Daoyi felt that Chi Wang didn't feel uncomfortable.

Chi Wang gave him a strange look, then shook his head, denying Wang Daoyi's statement: "How is it possible, they are my people, I naturally love them, if I don't love them, I won't choose myself sacrificed."

Wang Daoyi: "."

Seeing Wang Dao hesitate to speak, Chi Wang knew what the person in front of him was thinking.

However, the reason for it is a long story, and Chi Wang was not ready to tell it.

After hesitating for a while, he spoke slowly: "He once told us the secret of the sky. He predicted that I would have the most rebellious thoughts, and I also predicted that He would plot against me."

"Who made me fall in love with Him so much?"

Wang Dao's eyes were full of curiosity and an irresistible desire to explore: "Is he Kao? What is your plan?"

The Red King didn't answer, as if he was recalling something, he was silent for a moment, then looked at Wang Daoyi again, and asked, "My successor, what do you think the gods are like for people?" exist?"

I don't know why Chi Wang can change the subject so bluntly,

But Wang Daoyi thought for a while, and answered this question: "God, for people, is a sustenance, a belief, and an existence that provides them with protection."

This is Wang Daoyi's answer after a long meeting after coming to Tivat.

The Mond people put their faith in Barbatos, and under His protection, they sought freedom, although the singing said that it was the freedom that the Mond people fought for themselves.

The Liyue people put their faith in Morax, and under His protection, they achieved prosperity, although the emperor always said that it was the prosperity created by the Liyue people themselves.

Even Dao's wife, after General Lei Dian returned to the right path, was full of vitality.

Therefore, Wang Daoyi believes that gods are sustenance, faith, and existence that provide shelter to people.

"In your eyes, do gods and humans exist like this?"

Chi Wang nodded slowly, and then a trace of madness suddenly appeared in his eyes: "So, what if I tell you that the so-called [God] is a superfluous thing from the beginning?"

"." Wang Daoyi was silent for a while, then raised his head, "I think, you mean that people can live well without God, right?"

The Red King nodded, this statement was part of his meaning.

"In my opinion, no matter what things can exist for a long time without dying, then there is a reason for their existence."

"Whether it is a god or a human being, since they have existed in this world for so long, the gods have not disappeared, and neither have humans, which means that the current ecosystem can be maintained."

"So, maybe people can live without gods, but with gods, people can continue to live."

Speaking of this, Wang Daoyi knew that he hadn't convinced the Scarlet Crown King when he saw the expressionless expression on his face.

However, Chi Wang didn't seem to be angry, he just nodded plainly: "So you think so, anyway, our ideas have not yet reached unity, then, you just need to listen to the next words, no Need to think deeply."

"I can't tell you the specific process of my plan. Let's put it this way, the country at that time was managed by me, Kao, and Tree King. The tree king was keen to develop the rainforest, and the people here It is basically managed by me and Kao.”

"And Kao and I believe that the so-called [God] is superfluous from the very beginning, so the two of us formulated a plan, [Take God's lies as the main body, and take the shattering of the lies as an opportunity to completely free mortals from God's will.] "

A trace of shock flashed in Wang Dao's eyes: "God's lies are shattered."

His mind flashed, and many things were connected by him,

Chi Wang Xuying stopped talking and looked at Wang Daoyi: "It seems that you have understood something."

Wang Dao nodded, he really understood.

Whether it is the fall of the Red King or the fall of the Kao, these two gods have already prepared for it.

Hua Wang led the Red King to embark on the road of rebelling against the sky, and left some messages for the Red King, and then embarked on the road of death calmly,

Then the Red King used Kao's death as an excuse to unite all the forces in the desert. Whether it was Kao's family Zhenling or the humans who once believed in Kao, they all belonged to the Red King.
Then, the Red King made up a lie again,

That is [Eternal Oasis], this lie keeps those forces belonging to Kao still closely united and will not be split.

After that, the Scarlet King deceived his people again and again, leading them into the abyss of madness until the end came.

Finally, there is the pollution of taboo knowledge, and the self-sacrifice of the Red King,

The people in the desert remembered the Red King and Kao, and fell in love with these two gods deeply. In the lies left by the Red King, they looked for opportunities for their resurrection time and time again.
But disappointed again and again, in the cycle of hope-seeking-disappointment, the people of sand will slowly and completely turn their love for gods into disappointment, and finally abandon this hopeless belief,
And they who have been deceived by the gods will naturally not believe in other gods.

In this way, the idea of ​​"God is superfluous from the beginning", naturally planted seeds in the hearts of the people in the desert.

The desert people have developed all the way to the present. Before Wang Daoyi came to the desert, the desert people really did not believe in gods.

It can be said that Chiwang and Kao are almost on the verge of success,

The people in the desert can live without the blessing of the gods.

But they also failed, because all this is based on the kindness of King Dacishu,

Without the presence of the former Great Mercy Tree King and the present Little Auspicious Grass King,

The people in the desert will still not have a good life. They don’t believe in gods, and they don’t have Kanria’s superb technology. They can only engage in violent careers, and they can’t break through the blockade of the Holy Order. It is inevitable that they will gradually die out.

And the arrival of Wang Daoyi,
That is to say, it destroyed the road that the Red King and Kao wanted the people of the desert to follow, and it also introduced the theocracy into the hearts of the people of the sand.
The longing for faith that had been missing for thousands of years, after seeing Wang Daoyi bring them a good life, made these sand people's belief in Wang Daoyi extremely firm.

Well, in a sense, Red King and Kao used their own lives to awaken the people of the sand. As a result, Wang Dao slapped out the newly born awakening light one by one, and then shrouded it again with the brilliance of theocracy. People of the desert.

That's right, Wang Daoyi can be said to be turning back the clock on history.

"The idea between you and Kao is a little too outdated."

Wang Daoyi couldn't help shaking his head: "I don't think it's advisable to let the people carry out the so-called awakening when food and clothing cannot be guaranteed."

"If what they are facing is already desperate and cannot get worse, then naturally they should break through and build up. However, in my opinion, the situation back then was far less hopeless."

Red King: "."

It wasn't that he had nothing to say and was refuted by Wang Daoyi, but that he understood that Wang Daoyi couldn't convince him, and he couldn't convince Wang Daoyi either.

This is the difference brought about by basic cognition,
Both are right, and at the same time, both are wrong.

【God is always a lover! 】

This sentence is vividly reflected in Chiwang and Kao,

In order to awaken their people, they can even abandon their own lives,

But another face of God - arrogance, is also vividly reflected in them,
They gave their people what they thought was right, but completely ignored whether the people really wanted it, so that the people in the desert experienced a thousand years of perdition.

Isn't this a kind of arrogance of God?

silent for a long time,
The Scarlet King suddenly smiled, and he shook his head slightly: "Hahahaha, no matter what, I have already fallen, and I am no longer their god. I should not continue to think about these things."

"Take care of your people, new authoritarian lord."

As he spoke, the Scarlet King raised his hand, a light shone on his fingertips,

"In the name of the Chijin Authority Lord Amon, I will pass it on to you. I hope you will take over the authority, protect the people, and live up to your trust!"

Amon is also the real name of the Red King, and Akhmar is not the real name of the Red King, but the name of a god, or a posthumous title conferred by later generations.

Standing opposite the Scarlet King, looking at His sincere red-golden eyes, the king's way is blessed to the soul,

Also stretch out your hand, the authority and authority deep in your soul slowly emerge,
"In the name of the Mysterious Master of Inheriting the Law, I accept your inheritance. I will assume authority, protect the people, and live up to expectations!"
