The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Just open the road!"

"boom!"

Before Yu Jin could finish speaking, his voice was drowned out by the deafening sound of shattering rocks.

The enormous impact reverberated through the mountains, and countless rocks tumbled down from even higher places.

When the smoke cleared, Ember remained in his punching stance. A large hole had long since been ripped into the towering mountain in front of him.

Beyond the large hole lay a dark space. It turned out that the mountain peak really was hollow inside, just like a chimney.

Mount Suga was large enough, and its interior space was spacious enough. However, the group had no need to worry about getting lost—because the raging thunder in the distance guided them.

"What...what is this thing? Why are there monsters at the festival?"

Aru was practically dragged over by Ember, but he couldn't care less anymore. Because before him stood a monster he had never seen before.

The monster was a deep purple color, with no hands or feet. Only the wings on its sides and the large single eye in the center of its head indicated that it "might" be a living creature.

The thunderous power manifests, and this is the regret that the Thunderbirds have gathered together thousands of years later.

"A demon? You could call it that, right? Do you want to listen carefully to what it's saying?" Ember nodded slightly after hearing Aru's words.

It's a collection of resentment; calling it a monster wouldn't be wrong.

Aryu listened intently. Soon, a faint but furious voice reached his ears.

“Aru… how dare you take Aru…”

"...Aru's song..."

"Why……"

The furious voice seemed to come from the monster unconsciously; its voice didn't match its actions at all.

For example, it keeps muttering "Aru" to itself, but now it's flirting with Aru.

“Kappacili…”

The lightning bolt that was hurtling towards him didn't even get into Aryu's field of vision. Right now, his mind was filled with that voice from just now, and he couldn't think of anything else.

"No, that's not it! It's just the resentment of someone dying!"

The water rippled, and the young master, wielding two swords, blocked the incoming lightning.

“Even if you’re going to sing, you have to sing at the place of the greatest resentment. This little guy isn’t worth your thousands of years of waiting!” Ember stood in front of Aru.

"Why……"

Lei Yinquan was still muttering to himself, but his attacks never stopped.

"There's no reason why. This is just the bitter fruit of your arrogance."

Unlike Aryu's regret and waiting, Ember felt that the real regret lay with those who were offered as sacrifices and those who had no connection to him but were still struck by lightning.

Aru and Thunderbird can still express their wishes and regrets to the world, but those people can't.

In his view, even the most ordinary wish shines brighter than the brightest star in the sky.

"Be more careful in your next life. Don't always try to fly over other people's heads, or you'll fall down and be unable to handle it, which would be a joke!"

"Aryu will sing for you, but not here, so be quiet!"

The brilliant purple of the sky faded, replaced by countless twinkling stars.

The galaxies of the distant universe seemed to have crossed infinite distances and descended upon this mountain.

The oldest origin magic discovered by ancient stargazers. One of the "legendary magics".

Summon a dark nebula in the air. For a limited time, unleash a torrential shower of stars. Can be used while moving, and its power can be increased by charging.

This is said to be the origin of the magic of the Radiant Stone.

The origins glimpsed by stargazers have become reality, and star amber has fallen upon this land.

The starlight in the dark night sky poured down like a waterfall, denser and brighter than thunderstorms.

The stars, shrunk countless times, fell to the ground, scattering amber fragments everywhere. The fragments reflected the starlight overhead, making the entire space resemble the center of the most dazzling galaxy.

Amidst the dazzling starlight that almost blinded the eyes, all noise vanished, leaving only the crisp cracking sound of amber stars echoing in the air.

"Is there something wrong with my incantation? Or is there something wrong with the staff?"

The scenery before him was indeed magnificent, but Ember was more concerned with the power of magic. And the power of the Starfall before him... well, it was more show than substance.

It's legendary magic, after all. Even if there are no extraordinary phenomena, it should at least be able to lift this mountain away, right?

But let alone lifting mountains, the damage caused by the meteor shower wasn't even as severe as a thunderstorm.

Falling stars are just like glass beads; they fall to the ground, make a sound, and that's it.

However, what made Yu Jin somewhat relieved was that the huge mass of resentment had been destroyed by the "glass beads" that Nebula had sent down.

Otherwise, Ember would have to crown both Creation Star Rain and Elden Meteor as the "most useless legendary magic".

But it doesn't seem to be a big deal; things that are given the title of "legendary" in border areas don't seem to be very good.

Whether it's legendary weapons or magic, very few are actually usable; they're not as convenient as ordinary weapons and magic.

"Perhaps this title is simply to commemorate groundbreaking magic and historically valuable weapons?" Ember nodded, feeling that he had hit the nail on the head.

As the nebula gradually dissipated, the continuous sound of amber shattering ceased, and other sounds began to emerge.

"Ah—, my eyes!"

The first thing that reached Yu Jin's ears was the familiar scream. Yu Jin quickly turned his head to look behind him, and what came into his view were three people rubbing their eyes frantically.

"No way? I hurt your eyes? I was holding back!"

Seeing the three of them rolling around on the ground, Yu Jin was startled. Could it be that he had slipped and used too much force?

"No...no, it's too...too bright." The young master opened his swollen and red eyes. The Milky Way was magnificent, but that was because the Milky Way was thousands of miles away from people.

But if it fell from the sky, it wouldn't be magnificent, even if it shrank countless times.

Because of their smaller size, each star shines even brighter.

"So that's how Starfall is used?" Ember looked up at the nebula in the sky that was gradually shrinking, and finally found the true purpose of this magic.

"Kapachiri...where is she?" Aru squinted, her steps faltering. The once menacing monster was nowhere to be seen.

"That's not Capachelli, it's just resentment. Didn't you see it even beat you up?" Seeing Aru's concern for the Thunderbird, Ember couldn't help but complain.

This guy is really captivated by the Thunderbird.

"I...I know, resentment is fine too." Aru rubbed his eyes. It was strange, why were his eyes also sore?

“That’s not its turn. The one on Qinglai Island is the true source of the Thunderbird’s resentment.” Patting Aru’s head, Yu Jin decided to take Aru to Qinglai Island.

Coincidentally, this also allows us to deal with the resentment on Qinglai Island.

But then Ember's movements suddenly stopped. He lowered his hand and instructed the young master and the scattered soldiers:

"Something's happened with Guilong, I need to go check it out. You guys take this kid to Qinglai Island!"

After saying that, Yu Jin's figure turned into orange light spots and disappeared into the world.

Chapter 490 The Flames of War Reignite

2024-02-16

On the sea at a corner of Nashii Beach, a wooden boat is slowly drifting along the shore. It seems to want to go ashore, but for some reason it is hesitant.

The wooden boats drifted back and forth along the shore, looking somewhat like anxious people pacing back and forth.

"Damn it, things were going so well lately, how come they're fighting again?"

On the deck, Guilong gazed at the Nashii Beach, where flames now raged and the sounds of battle were deafening.

Purple and red intertwine, seemingly incompatible. Yet together they dye the shallows and the sea red.

The struggle between the shogunate army and the resistance army was witnessed by all the people of Zen-inada, and any conflict between the two was commonplace.

However, in recent days, the conflict between the two sides has escalated significantly. It has now reached a point where they are launching attacks on almost all fronts.

At first, Guilong thought of tightening up the transportation lines in order to protect himself.

The situation is better on the rebel side; apart from stricter checks due to the fighting, nothing much has changed.

However, it seemed that the shogunate army had changed its commander, and even refused his request to meet with the emperor.

"This is about to change a lot." After standing on the deck and looking around for a while, Guilong felt that he was losing control of the situation.

Originally, he was just a pirate who grew up between the Shogunate army and the rebel army. Now that the gap between the two sides has disappeared, Kiryu suddenly finds it extremely troublesome.

Fortunately, he was all alone now, and he's found a powerful backer!

Back in the cabin, Guilong pulled a withered, thin old finger from his pocket. Upon seeing the severed finger in his hand, Guilong's expression twisted in pain.

Although he had killed people as a pirate, he always did it quickly, throwing the bodies directly into the sea to feed the fish.

He had never dismembered a body before, and he didn't know if this finger was really something he had picked up, as Ember had said.

If Guilong had witnessed the boundary where the Dharma Ring was broken, he probably wouldn't have this question.

Because the area where the ring of Dharma was broken was littered with corpses, not to mention fingers, even a mound of corpses could be built by picking up corpses.

As for Lordran, sorry, Lordran is so desolate that you can hardly find any corpses.

“Embers…” Guilong’s movements froze as he gripped his rough, severed fingers.

"How did he write it back then?" Gui Long suddenly realized that he had forgotten the runes that Yu Jin had written on the ground.

Actually, those weren't runes, but rather the writing of the border region. However, to Gui Long, who had only completed elementary school, the writing of the other world was no different from scribbles.

Just as Guilong was sweating profusely with anxiety, the severed finger in his palm suddenly emitted an astonishing suction force.

This suction force propelled his body, and little by little, he used his severed finger to write characters that Guilong had never seen before.

"Om-"

Orange-yellow light spots converged in front of the newly written text, eventually forming a phantom image that was entirely orange-yellow.

The phantom slowly rose from the glow of the runes. It took a step forward, and the orange light on it cracked inch by inch, revealing the true form of Ember.

"This...this is what it means to have arrived?" Looking at the embers before him, Guilong rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
