King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 872 Light Curtain
"There are more and more Faints in the city recently." After throwing the work to his great-great-great-grandfather, Kaia leaned against the window and watched for a few days.

The flow of people on the street keeps changing, the only thing that remains unchanged is the increasing number of Fools.

"Who knows? Maybe the queen here wants to hold a grand military parade?" Anfortas yawned and said casually.

"When can we go out? We're almost suffocating staying in the room and the camp all day." Zain came over and asked with expectant eyes.

"Wait a little longer, at least until the Fatui make less noise." Without waiting for Anfortas to respond, Diluk took the lead in advising.

"Then I guess you'll have to wait!"

"boom!"

"I'll dodge!"

As glass shards flew, Kaia quickly dodged from the window, and then the embers jumped in almost brushing against Kaia's body.

Following closely behind him were Paimeng and Ying who also swung over.

"Hey, they are all familiar faces. It's quite lively here." Yu Jin clapped his hands and said in surprise.

"Yu Jin, Ying and Paimon, why are you here?!"

Diluk was extremely surprised to see an acquaintance.

"Hey! Can you guys keep quiet? We spent a lot of effort to get this base!"

Because he was almost kicked away, Kaia's face no longer showed much surprise, but rather a lot of shock.

Apart from anything else, with Yu Jin's extraordinary way of "entry", there must be a large number of people outside pointing fingers at him.

"Don't worry." Yu Jin waved his hands, as if he didn't take it to heart at all.

"Please, the Fatui are..."

"Wait! It seems like there is really nothing to worry about!"

Before Kaia could finish his words, he was interrupted by Anfortas, who hurried to the window with a look of shock on his rough face.

It was the first time that Kaia saw Anfortas with such an expression. In his memory, this ancestor who had lived for hundreds of years always looked weathered.

What on earth was so shocking to him? With such doubts, Kaia walked around the embers and looked out the window.

All he saw was a huge curtain of light spreading out from the tall Queen's Palace in the center of Winter City. The curtain of light was looming, one end connected to the Queen's Palace, and the other end extended to the sky at the end of his vision.

"Isn't this right? I clearly remember that they only had three God's Hearts some time ago. How come they are all here at once?"

After a brief shock, a trace of doubt arose in Anfortas' heart.

"Do you know what that thing is?" Seeing Anfortas looking thoughtful, Yu Jin couldn't help but ask.

"The road to Sky Island, but it seems that the Queen of Winter has expanded it." Anfortas carefully sensed it for a while, and then rejected his own statement:

"No, the recorded path to the island is not like this. It should be that after collecting all seven God Hearts, the Ice God underwent some unknown changes!"

He affirmed categorically.

Just as Anfortas was thinking about it, the light curtain that was originally half dream and half real gradually stopped fluctuating.

The light flashed, and the light curtain became a solid entity. Clouds piled up in it, constantly surging towards the sky, as if guiding the people on the ground to step into the sky.

"Is this... done?" Yu Jin held his chin and muttered to himself. But obviously, no one answered him now.

……

"here we go."

"Yeah, but why do I feel like it's a little fast this time?"

On the high mountains of Liyue, Zhongli and Venti nodded in tacit understanding.

"How do you think this will turn out?"

"It depends on whether anyone is willing to help her."

Wendy chuckled, raised the teacup and took a sip very naturally, but the bitterness that rushed into his nose made his face distorted instantly.

“Isn’t this too bitter?!”

"Suffering is refreshing. From what you said, is there anyone willing to help her?"

"Who said that? You or me?"

Wendy waved her hands quickly, and Zhongli could only sigh when he heard that.

"I wonder what Sky Island wants."

"Who knows? Over and over again, if this continues, maybe one day I'll go over and help!"

"Hahaha! I will definitely support you Wendy then!"

The two smiled at each other, but the sadness between their brows could not be dispelled. …

"Really, over there..."

In front of the main hall of the castle tower, Ying, who felt something was happening, hurried out. While looking at the scene in the sky, she called out to Zhen who was behind her.

"Over there... is there someone who wants to go to Sky Island?" Zhen looked into the distance and saw a huge curtain connecting the sky and the earth.

Looking from Inazuma, the two could clearly see that one end of the curtain was connected to the earth, and the other end was connected to the Sky Island.

"what……"

In shock, Ying suddenly covered his forehead with his hands, and this behavior made Zhen extremely worried.

"Shadow! Are you okay?"

"No...it's okay, I just...remembered a lot of things." Ying opened his eyes again, and when he looked towards the sky again, the shock was gone.

She glanced at Zhen, then forced a smile:
"Really, this should be the first time you see this scene, right?"

"Yeah. I've seen people land on Sky Island, but the scene was different from today. I guess that Ice Queen wants to rebel against Sky Island?"

"It's true."

Ying nodded. She suddenly realized that the Ice God had rebelled against Sky Island countless times.

But it seems that every time...it ends in failure.

"I wonder if the result will be different this time." Ying glanced at Shin beside him, and couldn't help but look at the naginata behind him.

If the result this time is the same as before, then won’t truth also disappear?
She thought again of the unrivaled power of Sky Island, and suddenly a feeling of powerlessness came over her.

……

"Tree King, what is that?"

"do not know."

On the crown of the sacred tree of Xumi, there are two small figures, but there is a big question mark.

Nashida and the Great Compassion Tree King looked at the eye-catching light curtain in the sky and looked at each other in surprise.

It's a bit puzzling, how come there is suddenly such a big light curtain on the horizon? And it looks like it's connected to Sky Island.

"Let me check..."

When in doubt, ask the World Tree first. The Great Compassion Tree King and Nashida stood up, and their consciousness began to connect with the World Tree.

A huge amount of information poured into their minds, but none of it was what they wanted. Their consciousness flowed through the World Tree, but no matter how hard they searched, there was no information about the scene in front of them.

"It looks like it's either information about the Adventers, or it's directly related to Sky Island."

The Great Tree King sighed, thinking about the information that Rhinedot had told him in the desert before, and considering the fact that Embers had run into Winter Solstice, the huge rock that was hitting his heart didn't seem so suffocating anymore.

"Let's do what we should do." The Great Compassionate Tree King thought for a while, then pulled Nashida off the sacred tree.

……

"Ah...ah, I don't want to work!" Inside Momang Palace, behind the mountain of documents, a young girl's crying was heard.

"Fucarlos, today's documents have arrived. If you keep being lazy, the work will only pile up." Villette walked in with a pile of documents. He had no mercy at all and directly made the number of documents on Fucarlos' desk higher.

Fucaros looked up, but the pile of documents made it impossible for her to see what was beyond the desk.

"I don't want to be the water god anymore! Where's Funina? Call her over!"

"Who called me?"

Fernina opened the door with a puzzled look on her face and walked in. Violet was a little surprised to see her.

"Didn't you always hide from Mo Mang Palace after that? Why did you have the heart to come here on your own initiative?"

"Well, there's a very strange sight outside! I think I need to tell you about it."

Furninna shrank her head and laughed.

"Hmm..., how far is it from Fontaine?"

Villette remained unmoved and was not moved at all by Furninna's words.

Furninna suddenly felt something was wrong. She stepped back and replied, "It's very far away. It should be on the winter side."

"What are you looking at? Come here and get to work!"

"No--"

After the scream, Mo Mang Palace became busy. What light curtain? It didn't exist at all.
