The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

However, the Supreme Will never expected that the guy would sacrifice himself and spread the blessing throughout the entire border region.

Difficult to comprehend, the Supreme Will shook his head. At this moment, he appeared as an ordinary person, and he had come here to see what a world nourished by gods was like.

"Hehe, how generous! You even bestow blessings upon me?" The Supreme Will looked at the faint light in his palm and accepted it with a smile.

Blessings? Such things are reserved for him to give to others. Receiving blessings from other gods is truly a peculiar experience.

With supreme willpower calmed, his immense spiritual power spread out, revealing every detail in its path.

"What a prosperous world." The Supreme Will smiled, finding the scene before him quite amusing.

Following the vision in his mind, the supreme will quickly arrived at a major road.

Perhaps because it was in a remote area, there were few pedestrians on the main road at this moment. Only the Supreme Will was slowly strolling along the roadside.

But soon, the ground began to tremble. At the same time, a loud roar rang out.

The Supreme Will turned around and saw two iron horse heads galloping towards him.

However, the "iron horse" seemed somewhat different from the horses he remembered.

The two horse heads are more like decorations, with an axle underneath and two pairs of wheels extending from the axle on both sides—the modified cemetery dump truck.

Although they were originally intended to create humans, they have now been transformed into the heads of carts.

The speed of the train's engine slowed down, and the Supreme Will could see that the carriages behind it were full of people.

"Where are you going?" The bus stopped, and a person leaned out and asked the Supreme Will.

“Rodel,” the Supreme Will replied succinctly.

"Come up." Upon hearing that they were going to Rodel, the man said to the Supreme Will.

The Supreme Will nodded and stepped into the carriage. He casually chose a seat and began to observe everything before him.

Humans, hybrids, and demi-humans—the small carriage contained them all.

However, they were different from before. The Supreme Will saw that some humans wanted to get off the train, but they had too much luggage, so a large tail grew from behind them, rolled up the suitcases, and got off.

He saw the hybrid open the window again, but it seemed that the scales on its body were being blown about by the wind, so the scales merged into its flesh and blood, and its skin became smooth and shiny.

He also saw a demi-human threading a needle, his nimble fingers flying swiftly, drawing beautiful flowers from the fabric, no longer clumsy and crude as before.

The Supreme Will looked at its own hand, the spot where the blessing had just fallen.

"Life begins with one, and the mad fire wants to melt everything down, so that the world can return to one. Are you returning one to life?"

"Everything in life belongs to oneself."

"That's a crazy idea."

The Supreme Will smiled. By doing this, perhaps someone who surpasses the gods will truly appear.

The scenery before them was changing; trees disappeared, and more and more towns appeared. After an unknown amount of time, the Supreme Will saw a barrier appear on the horizon.

Those are the walls of the royal city of Rodel. They have only been breached once in history, during a war between the Golden Clan and the Ancient Dragon Clan.

The city wall, hundreds of meters high, stretches for dozens of miles, resembling a giant mountain range rising from the ground; it is an iron barrier protecting the king.

Even though peace has been restored to the border area, several streaks of light still shimmer on the mountain-like city walls.

Engraved upon it are gold, a full moon, an ancient dragon... and all those who would call the embers king.

The bus carrying the supreme will merged into the widened royal avenue, as inconspicuous as a raindrop flowing into the sea.

The passage he was on was a route used by small and medium-sized land-dwelling tribes. It was several tens of meters wide, but this road only accounted for less than a third of the main road of the royal city.

The Supreme Will looked to the right and saw a larger hovercar carrying medium-sized beings such as mountain demons, lion hybrids, orcs, and robust humans.

Further to the right lies the path of the large land-dwelling race. Although others can enter, the Supreme Will believes that no one would do so.

Because the creatures that roam here are either golem guards or pure-blooded giants, whose heights range from tens to hundreds of meters, each one resembling a mountain.

If it weren't for the shock-absorbing magic array, the earth would probably tremble with every step they took.

The giant race should have been completely wiped out during the conquest by the Golden Race, but the embers resurrected them.

"Buzz—" A faint white light appeared on the left side of the Royal City Avenue. Then, the Supreme Will saw several four-winged ancient dragons with wingspans of tens of meters, leading dozens of cubs, slowly descend from the sky onto the left side of the Royal City Avenue.

Because the passage on the left side of the royal city is a passage for the winged race.

Regardless of the race that walks on the main road of the royal city, their ultimate destination is the same—the distant Rodel Gate, which is large enough to accommodate pure-blooded giants.

The huge statue that used to stand at the city gate has been removed and replaced by two giant dragons clad in armor—it's their turn to be on duty today.

After passing through the city wall, a lively scene unfolds. On both sides of the avenue, buildings of all kinds stand side by side, and all kinds of life moves about among them.

The giants carried their perfectly smelted steel in search of buyers, but their steel was usually quickly taken away by the mountain trolls.

Giants can smelt the finest steel, while trolls can forge the strongest weapons.

Humans were discussing with the ancient dragon that the crops were about to sprout, and they were debating when and where to send a heavy rain.

Humans have always had an inexplicable passion for planting, and ancient dragons can control lightning, which means a bountiful harvest.

The hybrids were carrying demi-humans as they soared through the air atop golems or giant machines; it was in their hands that these behemoths came to life.

The winged hybrids were renowned for their flying skills in the borderlands, and the demi-humans' small, nimble fingers were perfectly suited for these complex mechanical creations.

A scene I've never seen before!

All kinds of life live in harmony at the border, which was Michaela's long-cherished wish, and now it has been realized by Ember.

"We've arrived at the station, everyone please get off," the man acting as the driver said, and then the passengers filed out.

Soon, everyone on the train had left, leaving only Supreme Will sitting idly in the carriage.

"What's wrong with you?" The driver asked as he walked over, seeing that the Supreme Will remained unmoved.

"..."

"No money, right?" The driver smiled and then said, "Never mind if you don't have money, I won't charge you."

The Supreme Will looked up at the driver. Once all desires are satisfied, will greedy humans become generous?

“That won’t do. I’ll pay for his fare.” A woman in a black robe wearing an eye patch paid the fare for the Supreme Will.

"Oh? Looks like your friend is here. Why didn't you say so earlier? I'm leaving now. Remember to lock my car door for me."

The driver glanced at the two of them, then got out of the car without a second thought, seemingly unconcerned about what they might do to his vehicle.

The Supreme Will looked up at the woman before him, sensing her familiar aura. He had only ever felt this way with Ember.

"You from outside this world, what do you intend to do here?" The Supreme Will looked at her and asked coldly.

"I'm merely borrowing your power to find someone, Your Eternal God." The Fire Keeper clasped her hands and bowed slightly, elegant and serene.

Chapter 44 Dispute

2023-08-28

"Looking for that guy?" The Supreme Will and the Fire Keeper walked along the street, with giants passing by them every now and then.

However, his feet, which were as big as houses, were supported by the magic array when they were three or four meters off the ground, and his mountain-like body did not cast any shadows.

"Yes, with you and Lord Patch, we should be able to manage," the Fire Keeper said with a smile, half a step behind the Supreme Will.

"Whoosh—" A muffled whistle sounded, and a disc several tens of meters wide descended from the sky.

The muffled whistle sound came from the jets around the disc, and the huge amount of hot air was expelled and then absorbed into the core below the disc, in a continuous cycle.

"What an interesting little gadget. He'll probably like it." The Fire Keeper saw the disc filled with people and flying toward the next stop—the royal city's bus.

"Similar to the golem?" The Supreme Will took a look and understood its structure.

“Yes, it was designed by Lord Patch and Nokron undertook the final design,” the Fire Keeper said with a smile.

Speaking of Patch, he seems even more mysterious than Ember.

The Supreme Will nodded. Noklon? He vaguely remembered them; they seemed to have created a weapon powerful enough to harm him.

Unfortunately, it couldn't even stop a shooting star that he casually threw; the weapon will probably only be good for fixing his feet.

"Why don't you call him by his name?" the Supreme Will asked out of nowhere.

"I didn't call you by your name either," the Fire Keeper replied with a smile to the Supreme Will.

The Supreme Will gave the Fire Keeper a meaningful look, and likewise, He did not call her by name.

"Why should I help you? He's caused me a lot of trouble." As if nothing had happened, the two continued walking.

“There are too many things in his body that don’t belong to him, and I want to take them out,” the Fire Keeper said simply.

The Supreme Will paused, then looked at the Fire Keeper again. Another madwoman.

However, he soon started moving around again, neither agreeing nor refusing.

The two suddenly sped up. Although they were just taking a walk, the scenery behind them seemed to rush past with every step they took.

After leaving Wangcheng Avenue, the Supreme Will and the Fireproof Woman wandered around and finally stopped in front of an ordinary store.

"Is this the place you brought me to?" The Supreme Will looked at the "Patch Old Shop" sign in front of it and asked with certainty.

"Okay." The Fire Keeper nodded and then went inside first.

At this moment, Patch was sitting behind the counter, fiddling with a mechanical core, occasionally muttering to himself:

"It's counterintuitive. They could build robots without even a steam engine. It just shows that the world is different and the development situation is different."

But Patch quickly looked up and saw the Fire Keeper approaching again. He said helplessly:

"I'll call you 'sister,' okay? Don't look for me anymore. I really can't find him. Maybe he's really dead?"

In truth, Patch really hoped that Ember could die peacefully. In his mind, Ember was alive simply because someone wanted him to live.

Someone cares about Ember, so Ember lives.

If Ember were the only person left on Earth one day, Patch would have no doubt that he would commit suicide.

Patch could see the shadows of many people in Ember. But he couldn't see the shadow of Ember himself.

To Melina, he is the king who cares for the world and saves the borderlands; to Lani, he is the other half of the Dark Moon who can betray everything; to Malenia, he is the light who rescues her brother and restores human dignity to her…

Patch had seen Ember's true face before, but he'd forgotten. What did Ember look like before? He couldn't remember.

A knight's armor, with a few tattered pieces of cloth hanging on it—that was Patch's last impression of Ember.
