The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Ember sat cross-legged on the ground, watching his own relentless battle, lost in memories. At that moment, he only wanted to say one thing to the Lord of Cinder—could you please stop coveting your little flame and just extinguish it already?!

Unfortunately, the Lord of Cinder turned into a complete idiot, only knowing how to fight, leaving the Ember with no choice but to fight him.

That battle was truly epic, what? You're saying it's always been dark here? Never mind then, it just went on for a very long time anyway.

"Kid, do you believe me now? Look at what I looked like when I was young, don't I look like you?" Yu Jin looked at the silent Xiao beside him and said with a smile.

"Heh... Senior, please don't flatter me." Xiao shook his head and said, his throat dry.

The Embers fighting in the distance were far superior to him, both in terms of skill and the murderous aura emanating from their bodies.

“Come on, stick your head out.” Ember beckoned to Xiao.

"What are your orders, senior?" Xiao followed Yu Jin's example and sat down cross-legged, lowering his head.

Then he felt a warm, hard iron hand reach out to the top of his head.

A chilling suction force emanated from it, and for a moment, Xiao even worried that his soul might be sucked away by the hand above his head.

Fortunately, his worries were unnecessary. As the suction increased, wisps of blackish-red smoke began to appear on Xiao's body; these were the karmic burdens that clung to him.

“Karma… is disappearing.” Xiao’s eyes widened as the karmic obstacles seeping from any part of his body eventually converged on the warm palm above his head.

The warmth above his head moved away, and Xiao looked up as well. He saw a dark sphere floating above Ember's palm.

Sighs, resentment, unwillingness... all sorts of ominous signs gathered within the small sphere, which was the karmic burden that had tormented Xiao for thousands of years.

"Karma?" Yu Jin looked at the small ball in his palm and flicked it with his finger.

“Exactly, or to put it more simply, it should be the resentment of the demon god.” Xiao was somewhat stunned. He still couldn’t believe that the heart-wrenching “karma” had been stripped away just like that.

"Hehe, an interesting little gadget." Yu Jin clasped his hands together, and the ominous sphere vanished without a trace.

As wisps of barely perceptible black energy entered his body, that unpleasant feeling reappeared in Yu Jin's mind after a long time.

Obsession and resentment are difficult things to deal with.

"What about karma? It...it's gone?" Xiao looked at Yu Jin's empty hand, rubbed his eyes, and asked in shock.

How can karmic obstacles possibly disappear! Extraordinary obsessions and resentments always have to be borne by someone.

"No, I ate it," Yu Jin replied in a constipated tone.

“Then…” Xiao looked at Ember, whose appearance had not changed at all, and couldn’t help but worry.

That's the karmic burden he's accumulated over a thousand years. Wouldn't he go crazy if it were all "eaten up" in one go?

"No need to think, something's definitely up." Yu Jin glanced at Xiao, who seemed hesitant to speak, and waved his hand at him.

Then he stood up from the ground, rubbed his wrists and said, "I'm in a bad mood right now. Wait a minute, I'm going to get into a fight."

"boom!"

As soon as Ember finished speaking, a wide ravine instantly split open in the lava ocean before Xiao's eyes.

At the same time, Ember also instantly arrived at the place where the Lord of Cinder avatar was fighting "Ember".

You Sui and Chu Huo glanced at Yu Jin, who was radiating an ominous aura, and stopped what they were doing.

Isn't this just acting? Why does Yu Jin look like he's about to punch someone? Could it be that their acting is bad?

The Lord of Cinder looked at the Deep, who had transformed into the Burning Ember, and then at the original Ember, whose face was now gloomy.

It threw away the pair of swords in its hand and leaped into the depths.

"You idiot, you attacked me from behind!"

Unable to escape, the Dark One was fixed to the surface of the lava ocean by the Lord of Cinder in an armbar.

"..."

Ember glanced at the Lord of Cinder's avatar, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that spoiling the First Flame all the time was the right thing to do; it really came to the rescue when needed.

"Boss, I think that meatball over there is more resilient," You Sui said, lying on the ground and pointing to Fu Huo, who was squatting in the shadows.

“No, you’re the one who can take the most beatings.” Yu Jin shook his head, then continued:

"Moreover, as a problem child, you haven't undergone personality correction for a long time."

After saying that, Yu Jin threw a punch.

elf:"……"

He thought he heard something break.

……

"what!"

Xiao stumbled and opened his eyes. To his surprise, he found that his vision was completely different from before.

Everything was brighter in color, no longer shrouded in a grayish hue; my spiritual awareness was incredibly clear, and the screams that used to ring in my ears disappeared...

I took a deep breath, and the air rushed into my nasal cavity, the stinging sensation gone. Everything seemed to have changed.

Xiao snapped out of his daze and looked around, trying to find Yu Jin. Everything he had now was thanks to this senior he had met by chance.

Both out of courtesy and reason, he should express his gratitude.

Then he saw the embers kneading something.

"What are you doing, senior?" Xiao came closer and asked, looking at the white cloud-like ball of fluff in Yu Jin's hand.

“A little bit, a byproduct?” Yu Jin scratched his head and squeezed the cloud in his hand.

If you listen carefully, you can hear countless bursts of laughter and joy.

Dulin, that kid, is really like a child, all he thinks about is playing all day long? Yu Jin looked at Dulin, who was drooling inside him. This white cloud was emerging from its head.

That was a beautiful dream that would eventually fade away. But Dulin was always daydreaming like that, so Ember peeked at a little bit of it.

Childish. After glancing at Dulin, who was playing eagle catching chicks with children in the cloud, Ember was speechless.

Dulin's size makes it amazing how it can have so much fun.

"Here you go, don't be shy." After looking at it for a while, Yu Jin smeared the cloud on Xiao's face.

"Hmm..." The cloud was so light that Xiao didn't feel anything even when it was stuck to his face.

But he tasted something soft and sweet in his mouth. The flavor was similar to his favorite almond tofu, but even more delicious.

Rather, Xiao likes almond tofu precisely because it tastes somewhat similar to Dreamy.

As the pure white clouds gradually disappeared, a long-lost feeling called "cherish" arose in Xiao's heart.

"Finished eating?" Yu Jin turned to look at Xiao, who was still savoring the meal. Yaksha's constitution was indeed different from that of ordinary people.

It can not only bear resentment, but also devour beautiful dreams. How strange, how strange.

"Thank you for your life-saving grace, senior." Xiao clasped his hands and bowed, giving a solemn salute to Yu Jin.

From this day forward, General Xiao, the Golden Roc, will be reborn.

But why so late?

Xiao looked at Yu Jin with a hint of dejection in his eyes. He wished Yu Jin had arrived sooner.

That way, perhaps the other Yakshas wouldn't have to die from being consumed by resentment.

But Xiao quickly shook his head with a self-deprecating laugh. Even immortals can be greedy like mortals?

"So, after standing here in the wind for so long, do you know why there are so few people in Liyue?"

Yu Jin stood on the bud of the large flower, looked into the distance at the somewhat quiet Liyue, and asked.

"Perhaps it's because other immortals have come to Liyue," Xiao speculated, glancing at the Jade Pavilion high in the distance.

"Then why are you with other people?" Yu Jin turned to look at Xiao. Wasn't he also an immortal?

"I told my senior before, it's just my personality; I'm a bit withdrawn," Xiao said quietly. He'd been alone for too long and had gotten used to being alone.

"Then you need to make some changes."

"In the future, it probably will."

Xiao raised his hand and nodded.

Chapter 299 The Greatness of the Emperor

2023-11-17

Just as Ember and Xiao were chatting on the giant flower at the Northern Bank, the arrival of the immortals finally prompted the various factions in Liyue to begin their actions.

The most significant event was the long-prepared group of fools.

……

"The Golden House, this must be it." The young master looked up at the archway, a smile appearing on his lips.

The arrival of the immortals drew most of the Seven Stars' attention. It was precisely because of this that the Fools were able to proceed with their next move.

With these thoughts in mind, the young master strode into the archway. He no longer cared about hiding anything; as long as he could obtain the Heart of God, he would run straight back to Zhidong, figuring that Liyue wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

"Halt! This is the Golden House, a place of great importance. Leave immediately!" Just as the young master expected, he was discovered by the guards as soon as he stepped through the archway of the Golden House.

Looking at the tense-looking Qianyan Army, the young master drew his twin swords and laughed arrogantly, "Come on! Executors of the Fools, let's see who you are!"

The young master was now incredibly excited. He had heard that the Golden House housed the elite troops of the Thousand Rock Army, and he had long wanted to experience it firsthand. Now, the opportunity had finally arrived.

The young master looked eagerly at the armored soldiers holding guns and standing guard, seemingly waiting for them to make their move. However, what he didn't see was that the Thousand Rock Army soldiers were all exchanging knowing glances.

【is it him? 】

I've seen the pictures, yes.

Who wants to go first?

……

"Charge! Brothers!"

Seemingly having finished their exchange, the Qianyan Army at the front shouted and charged towards the young master.

"Hahaha, well done!" The young master looked at the Thousand Rock Army charging towards him and couldn't wait to go and meet them.

The armored soldier thrust his spear, but the young master easily dodged it. In a flash, he appeared beside the soldier and swung his sword.
