The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

“Yes, where are we from? Some of you may not know, but Wang and I actually came from outside the world.”

“Just like Ying!” Lance Sanks said, pointing to Ying, who was looking around not far away.

Everyone present was taken aback, but that was all. After all, with Ying as a precedent, another one wouldn't be unacceptable.

Soon, the shock that Lance Sanx and Ember felt from outside the world was overshadowed by the countless stars within the Golden Tree.

Everyone stared at the sky in awe, and while they were in awe, a sense of doubt also arose in their hearts.

The sky above Teyvat is also full of starlight, but why didn't they discover it before?

Not only is the study of the stars a rare interest in Teyvat, but the study of the sky in general is also seldom pursued.

It was as if the people here had never looked up.

"Speaking of which, Ember, why did you bring us here?" Paimon asked, having admired the scenery inside the Golden Tree for a while and feeling a bit bored.

Although the starry sky here is beautiful, she's gotten a little tired of looking at it after a while.

"Can't I show you the scenery?" Yu Jin smiled and shrugged.

Then Yu Jin received several eye rolls. He scratched his head. What's wrong with looking at the scenery? He never had the time to look before!

"Alright, alright, it seems everyone has finished watching, so let's go back!" Yu Jin waved his hand and said, seeing that everyone looked like they had seen enough.

The starry sky here is just a projection; although magnificent, it lacks vitality, and it's normal to get tired of looking at it after a while.

“Going back, okay. But you have to open that first…” Paimon gestured, unsure how to describe it properly.

"That golden curtained door!"

"Yes, open that golden curtain door!"

Paimon and Ying gave each other a high five; their teamwork was getting better and better.

"Hehe, no need for all that trouble, let's go!" Yu Jin pressed down on him, and Paimon immediately felt a bad premonition.

"Hey! What do you want to..."

Before Paimon could ask Ember anything, the thin layer of water beneath her feet began to move without any wind.

The water swirled, eventually forming a bottomless whirlpool at her feet. Then a suction force came from the whirlpool and pulled Paimon in.

"what--"

"when……"

"Hey, it can't suck me in!"

Caught off guard, everyone fell into the whirlpool created on the water's surface. However, there was one exception: Wendy.

With a small leap, he rode the wind and jumped away from the whirlpool.

Then he was punched in by Ember.

"Phew! Cricket Wendy, you're still a long way from fighting me!" Ember blew on his fist and said.

"Let's go, Little Yellow!" Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yu Jin said to the empty, vast space.

Then, the calm water surface began to ripple again.

……

Windmill Street is an inconspicuous street in Mondstadt. And number 34 Windmill Street is also an inconspicuous house on this inconspicuous street.

If I had to say something, the residents here are probably a bit strange. They live inside metal cans and are never seen all day long.

Windmill Street was supposed to spend the day peacefully, just like before. But it was clear that this peace was about to change.

"Boom!" A loud noise suddenly came from the courtyard of No. 34 Windmill Street. Then a huge golden flower bud peeked out from inside the courtyard wall.

Although this golden bud looks like a flower, its texture is like hardwood, as if it were carved from wood.

In fact it is.

"Pfft~" The flower bud throbbed, and then everyone who had been inside the golden tree was spat out.

"Ugh... I feel so dizzy."

"Where...where is this?"

"this is my house."

Ember stood upright amidst the ruins, a stark contrast to the others sprawled out on their backs.

“Mond... Mond?!” Jean stood up from the ground, looking at the familiar scene outside the courtyard wall, and exclaimed.

Weren't they just inside the Golden Tree in Dragonspine? How did they end up in Mondstadt now?

Jean shook her head and fell into the vortex from inside the golden tree, feeling a sudden dizziness. When she came to her senses, she was already in Mondstadt.

"Hehe, this is teleportation! Impressive, right?" Yu Jin said with absolute confidence, completely ignoring the huge golden flower bud behind him.

Chapter 218 The Daily Life of God

2023-10-08

"Bang!"

Inside the counter of Patch's Old Shop, a man who would seem rather conservative to people from the borderlands today is pounding on the counter.

That linen robe, with a wooden yoke hanging from its collar, was clothing once unique to the people of the Gold Kingdom.

Such attire is truly rare in today's border region.

"Holy crap! What? You scared me!" Patch, who was fiddling with his mechanical watch, looked at the parts scattered all over the floor in front of his table, and several conspicuous veins immediately popped up on his bald head.

"Nothing much, just helping you attract customers." The Supreme Will withdrew his hand from the table and looked at the empty shop.

In fact, the Supreme Will really wanted to crack open this bald man's head to see why this guy would want to open his shop in a secluded alley.

Moreover, Patch Old Shop, Patch Old Shop, actually sells those outdated things.

The "old" in the shop's name doesn't mean the shop itself is old, but rather that the items sold there are old-fashioned.

Moreover, selling outdated items is one thing; the antique business can be profitable. But everything in this shop is handcrafted by Patch, using purely modern techniques.

This made the Supreme Will a little unable to hold on; it was no wonder this guy had no business every day.

Patch glanced at the empty alleyway outside the shop, then at the gaze the Supreme Will was giving him. The veins on his forehead immediately disappeared.

He wasn't admitting defeat; he was simply accumulating strength. You see, even Yu Jin was kicked away by him several times—that was all thanks to his patience.

So, endure! It will be perfect when you finally kick the supreme will.

Seeing Patch's dejected appearance, the Supreme Will couldn't help but grin. This bald guy is always like this; he's quite good at hiding his true intentions. No wonder he's been able to stay with Ember for so long.

But it seems that Ember hasn't been idle either. Just now, he suddenly sensed an extremely obscure fluctuation within his body.

That was the feeling that only came when the golden tree took root. But this fluctuation was not as clear as before; instead, it remained in a state of flux within the mind of the supreme will.

When the supreme will attempted to connect with this wave, it was obscured by an unexpected force.

That was the aura of embers, something the Supreme Will was very familiar with, yet also unexpected.

This feeling of astonishment is rare; in the eyes of the Supreme Will, nothing is uncertain. From the day of His birth, He has seen countless worlds.

Those are all possibilities for the future of this universe. Fate can be changed, but the supreme will has seen all of these "possibilities" for change.

No matter how the world changes, in the eyes of the supreme will, it is just one of countless possibilities that He has long been tired of seeing.

That's why He pursues eternal order. Since nothing has changed, there's no need to weave lies to deceive those lower-dimensional beings.

Tell them directly with the bloody reality that the future is predetermined, and everything about them is nothing more than a preordained existence.

At least under the order He established, the world will not develop in the extremely bad directions He sees.

Even though even the worst possibilities couldn't harm Him in the slightest, He did it anyway.

After all, they were things he created, and the supreme will didn't want too many of them to die.

However, all of this destiny ceased to exist after the arrival of the embers. Anything in this universe that the supreme will wishes to see can be seen.

But when it came to the embers, He could only see it with His own eyes, just like those little creatures in the lower dimensions.

For this reason, the formless supreme will specially created two eyeballs for itself, and then, in order for the eyeballs to see, created this body.

"Possibilities... at least it's not too boring anymore." The supreme will stretched his hand back, his thin palm twisting and bypassing the huge wooden shackles, and pressed it against the back of his head.

Patch, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but rub his eyes. The hand of the Supreme Will looked strange no matter how he looked at it.

Its length and curvature were unprecedented in Patch, giving him a slight shock.

"You're too narrow-minded, mortal," the Supreme Will explained, seeing Patch's surprised expression.

He wasn't as heartless as those lower-dimensional beings imagined. If He were truly that kind of god, He wouldn't have bothered creating them.

In order to communicate with the life forms it created, the Supreme Will also made the "fingers" act as a relay station for their information exchange, to prevent those little guys from being unable to withstand its aura and turning into some strange thing.

Patch said nothing and started fiddling with his mechanical watch again. He realized that Supreme Will, like Ember, was a chatterbox.

Moreover, they're the kind of chatterboxes who can be incredibly irritating; it's best not to talk too much when you're with them.

The Supreme Will saw that Patch ignored him, but he wasn't particularly angry. After all, he had seen this scene countless times since the Ember disappeared at the border.

Now, I'm just experiencing it firsthand.

"Squeak~ Squeak~" The Supreme Will rocked the chair and closed his eyes. When he was bored, he liked to sleep. When he woke up, there would be plenty of things to see.

……

"Ah—" Yu Jin stretched, letting the sunlight shine on him from all angles.

As for why the sunlight shines down without any blind spots, it's because his house was destroyed by the golden tree!

Sleeping in the ruins was like staying in a luxury hotel for Ember—he used to rest in a cesspool!

It wasn't actually a cesspool; it was a swamp formed by pus from rotting corpses mixed with swollen, rotten flesh.

It's just that Yu Jin prefers to call this kind of place a cesspool.

Stretching, Ember caught sight of Lance Sanks building a house out of rubble. She had been building it all night, and Ember had been listening to her all night.

"Naive!" Yu Jin sneered inwardly, then kicked down the house Lance Sanx had built with a few powerful kicks.

"Snap!" A wisp of smoke drifted from Lance Sanx's hand; it was a pebble that she had crushed into dust.
