The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Soon, a bottle of pink essential oil was finished. Half of it went into the depths of the darkness, and the other half was smeared on the helmet by the embers.

Unfortunately, it's useless.

"That guy is about to bloom, aren't you going to do anything about it?" The deep abyss writhed a few times, and in the distance, the body of the Thunder General had begun to ripple with fleshy red.

"So what if I let it open three times? I can still bring it back!"

"As long as you don't run away, it's fine."

Ember waved his hand dismissively, then reached into the mud.

The tearing pain suddenly intensified, and countless roars pierced Ember's eardrums. That pain instantly surpassed the pain on his forehead, causing Ember to gasp involuntarily.

Fortunately, all of this was still within his tolerance level.

“You still stink.” Ember stretched out his hand, and the mud on it slid off and returned to the ground.

"There's not enough food. I've been starving for a long time," You Sui retorted, but soon he seemed to remember something happy and let out countless overlapping laughs.

"This place is alright, at least it keeps me from getting too hungry."

"Eat as much as you can now, it'll be gone soon." Yu Jin looked at the flower buds growing from the Thunder General, their shadows swirling in the air, and let out a deep breath.

In the distance, General Thunder knelt on the ground, her hands supporting her weight. The flowers behind her seemed to grow and shrink intermittently, remaining in a stalemate for a long time.

"Give up the struggle. What is it that you seek in your heart? Eternity?"

“I like this kind of thing, because eternity means stagnation, and stagnation breeds corruption.”

"What exactly are you...?"

General Thunder struggled to get up, as she struggled to regain control of her body.

"Besides, don't you think your idea is ridiculous? If he and that old man Huang were to work together on eternal life, I might just give up the struggle."

Another force controlled the doll's neck, making her look at Ember, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"Your eternity has long been torn apart by external forces!" The insect chirping suddenly intensified, and the flower bud grew rapidly while the Thunder General was shaken.

Soon, a blood-red flesh flower rose high and grew on General Thunder's back.

"Whoosh!" The flower bloomed, and crimson mist rapidly expanded outwards along with the unfolding petals.

"Get out of here! You've got a rotten ass on you!"

Upon seeing the approaching crimson, Yu Jin turned and ran further away.

"Wait for me, boss!" The deep, writhing creature moved swiftly, but was still enveloped by the rising crimson aura.

Spots of bacteria appeared on the dark silt, but these spots were quickly torn apart and swallowed by countless tiny mouths.

This scene repeats itself endlessly, only slightly dimming the darkness surrounding You Suo.

"Aba?" The Lord of Cinder's avatar looked at the crimson that enveloped his entire body, and was puzzled for a moment before the flames on his body suddenly grew even larger.

Upon seeing the flames, the crimson specks immediately retreated, forming an open space around the Lord of Cinder's avatar.

As for the mad fire in the air, the scarlet flames were firmly suppressed and could only spread near the ground.

Ember ran a long way in an instant, but as he ran, he suddenly realized something. It seems Shadow is still among them, isn't he?

"We're doomed! People are going to die!"

Shadow is not a heartless puppet like General Thunder. With Mad Fire, the incarnation of Lord Cinder, and Corruption taking turns serving him, he'd probably die on the spot.

"Make way for me, everyone!" Ember immediately turned around and rushed into the crimson.

As he rushed into the crimson mist, Ember was not as rotten as he claimed, which showed that he was just talking nonsense.

After running all the way to the luminous avatar of the Lord of Cinder, Ember finally took a deep breath.

"call……"

Panting, Ember saw a figure on the ground, her face contorted and looking utterly disheveled. Although she had many wounds, she was otherwise unharmed.

"Great, so you're actually the smartest of the four!" Ember patted the shoulder of the Lord of Cinder's avatar and praised the First Flame.

"Hey! Are you dead yet? Say something!" Yu Jin poked Ying's cheek, but the latter frowned and didn't react.

Seeing the layers of wrinkles on her forehead, Yu Jin finally realized what was going on.

Could it be that he has such a headache that he's about to faint?

"Take it all! Take it all! If you hit anyone again, they'll die!" Yu Jin shouted a few times, and the yellow light that had pierced through the scarlet dimmed.

Almost simultaneously, the crimson that permeated the space gradually contracted and returned to its original position.

"Hiss—" As Ying awoke from the struggle of consciousness, she couldn't help but cry out in pain.

The mental anguish disappeared, but the physical pain immediately filled the void.

Despite the pain, Ying changed from lying down to sitting cross-legged. Then she saw a group of indescribable things surrounding her.

"You're awake? Shouldn't we have a proper talk now?" Yu Jin asked eagerly when he saw Ying wake up.

"Where is the general?" Ying looked around but couldn't see General Thunder, so he asked.

"Don't worry about that, it's just temporarily frozen," Yu Jin said, pointing to the corpse of General Lei Dian lying in the distance.

Perhaps the previous corruption was so rampant that it directly killed the general.

Ying withdrew her gaze. The fact that the general hadn't completely collapsed meant that Yu Jin hadn't completely broken off relations.

"Alright, the victor is king, the loser is villain. Name your terms." With his fingertips digging deep into his palm, Ying lowered his head to Yu Jin, almost enunciating each word clearly.

"The isolationist order and the eye-hunting order..."

"I will issue the imperial edict myself, so you don't need to worry about it."

Before Ember could finish speaking, Shadow nodded emphatically.

"Wouldn't it have been over sooner? Why did we have to fight like this?" Seeing how readily Ying agreed, Yu Jin almost couldn't resist punching her again.

People always have to test their own stubbornness before they're willing to face reality.

"I promised the people of Inazuma a land of lasting happiness and prosperity; how can I abandon that promise without even making a single move?"

Shadow's face was full of resentment. Ember had no doubt that this guy had only been beaten into submission, but was not convinced at all.

"No? You wasted so much of my time and effort, and I wasn't even angry, but you're getting angry right now?"

"Seriously, if I were more ruthless, I would have just killed you and then controlled General Thunder to issue an edict."

With a flick of his finger, Yu Jin caused the Thunder General, who had been lying dead in the distance, to stand up.

"A puppet's body is not as good as a body of flesh and blood." The voices of countless insect antennae merged together and emanated from General Thunder's body.

This made Yu Jin immediately realize how stupid his previous idea had been.

"No, if we engage in corruption like this, won't that kid escape? No, you still have to live."

"What did you do to the general?!" Shadow was furious when she saw the Thunder General's appearance. Her body shone brightly, and she was about to fight Yu Jin and the others to the death.

"Calm down, General Thunder isn't dead, why are you in such a hurry?"

Seeing Ying's agitated state, Yu Jin jumped back and dodged a few times.

Looking at the shining dream in Ying's hand, he finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Big sister, come out and do something about your little sister, or you'll be using your last moments to hold her funeral!"

"Haha, I never expected the witness of the future to be so powerful, it's truly astonishing!"

The distant memories struck Ying's heart, instantly snapping her out of her rage.

"Really?" Ying raised the Dream Heart in her hand, her voice trembling.

Chapter 533 The Castle Keep That Attracted Paimon

“Witness? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Yu Jin scratched his head. Meng Xiang was speaking, and what he said was incomprehensible to Yu Jin.

"Really...? Is it you?!" Shadow exclaimed in disbelief as she raised the shimmering Dream Heart in her hand.

"Buzz—" The purple light on the Dream One Heart Blade gradually detached and gathered in mid-air, eventually forming a round purple sphere.

"Your sister is Lei Ling?" Yu Jin looked at the thing that looked almost exactly like Lei Ling and reached out to touch it.

He was curious whether this thing would really run away if touched, just like the Thunder Spirit.

"It seems the witness is not only strong, but also quite humorous." Despite the fact that Ember's behavior could be described as rude, Zhen's voice remained as dignified as ever.

Just by hearing her voice, a lady-like woman seems to automatically appear in my mind.

"Zhen, what's going on? You're still alive!" Ying heard the familiar laughter again, and her expression became anxious.

"Living? If this can be considered living, then I can barely live for a little while longer."

Zhen made no attempt to conceal the fact that he was dead, and spoke of it openly and frankly.

Upon hearing this, Ying couldn't help but show disappointment on her face. In fact, she had already guessed it in her heart.

After all, she really did die in her arms back then; she watched her sister close her eyes with her own eyes.

"Sorry, Shadow. As the former Thor, I was so irresponsible, leaving you with a huge mess."

Lei Ling seemed to be able to see Ying's disappointment, and gently comforted Ying.

“I’m so happy. I knew that if it were you, we would have come this far.”

His words were full of encouragement and satisfaction, as if he had accomplished some earth-shattering feat.

"Alright, alright! So that's where this mess of Inazuma started! Turns out it all comes back to you!"

Upon hearing Shin's encouragement to Kage, Yu Jin immediately clapped. It turns out that tracing the origins of everything from Kage to Inazuma doesn't end there; there's also Kage's older sister, Shin!

"Hmm? Witness, what makes you say that?"

"Ying is a very stubborn child. She has made great progress in overcoming her stubbornness."

He asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Witness? Please look carefully, ma'am. I'm not a witness, but the one who beat up your sister!"

"You four, show her what you've got!"
