The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Even though humans have now left, the Great Sun Palace still serves as a former prison, suppressing most of the dragon lizards.

If it weren't for Abe no Ue's interference, the dragon lizards would probably be discussing how to storm the Great Sun Palace to rescue their kin by now.

However, it is clear that for the dragon lizards, the aura of the Dragon King is more important than that of their own kind.

In any case, the dragon lizard's view of life and death is completely different from that of humans. For the dragon lizard, death is simply returning to a larger flow of elements.

One day, the fallen companions will be reborn in the world amidst the accumulation of elements.

What truly makes the dragon lizards hate humans are the two things: humans taking over their land and using their own kind for experiments.

Although the dragon lizards are indifferent to death, they are just as afraid of pain as humans. The suffering endured by their kind beneath the Great Sun Palace is something the dragon lizards outside do not want to think about.

But things are better now, because humans have left this land. Given the lizard's adaptability, the Great Sun Mikoto might now be part of its habitat.

This is why it took the dragon lizards outside thousands of years to realize they needed to rescue their kin under the Great Sun Palace.

After all, as long as no one hurts them, dragon lizards can survive anywhere. As for their restricted freedom...

Dragon lizards are not very sensitive in this regard. Elemental life forms have a lifespan of almost infinite, and their perception of time is very different from that of humans.

Five hundred years is a vast change for humans, but for elemental life, it may just be a nap—that's how it is for Dvalin.

Moreover, as time goes by, elemental life forms like dragon lizards accumulate more and more elemental power within their bodies, naturally making them stronger.

Those of the same clan under the Great Sun Palace are probably much stronger than these bunch of hooligans who wander outside.

But no matter what, restricting freedom is wrong!

The dragon lizards raised their heads, and suddenly their blood boiled.

"We will save our people! We'll find the books, and then!"

After briefly informing Yuanshang, the dragon lizard reacted and charged towards the Great Sun Imperial Carriage with a roar.

"Haha, the number of dragon lizards is indeed not small!" Seeing the dragon lizards shouting and rushing towards the Great Sun Imperial Carriage, the Baptist of Deep Sin suddenly burst into laughter.

"You're too slow! Let me help you!" The Baptist of Deep Sin put away his smile, and the three elements of lightning, fire, and ice on his back arm disappeared, replaced by a tiny ball of starlight.

"Om-"

An oval-shaped passageway unfolded in front of the dragon lizards. The passageway reflected the twinkling starlight, as if a piece of the night sky had been torn off and pasted there.

"Roar……"

The dragon lizards stared at the suddenly appearing passage and growled warily. Despite its subtlety, they could still sense the foul aura lurking within.

Instinct tells the dragon lizards that it's best not to touch anything related to this passage!

"What? Are you scared?" The Baptist of Deep Sin floated into the group of dragon lizards and gently coaxed them:

"Think carefully, your people are suffering, and they are counting on you to come and save them!"

"Back down? How can you face your own people?!"

The words of the Baptist of Deep Sin immediately pulled the dragon lizards out of their fear.

They cried out, "Our kind! Save us!"

Then they rushed headlong into the abyss passage, without ever considering that without humans, who else could cause suffering to the dragon lizard?

"Foolish and stupid, no wonder they were cornered by humans." The Baptist of Deep Sin sneered as he watched the dragon lizards rush into the abyss without hesitation.

“Sin... Sinners, they’re going in…” Yuan Shang also saw the dragon lizards rushing into the abyss passage. He wanted to stop them, but the high aura of the Baptist of Deep Sin made it hard for him to breathe.

"Are you worried about them?" The Baptist of Deep Sin asked, his one eye slightly slanted as he stared intently at the abyss.

"Of course not! It's just that they're relatively easy to use and are among the few partners the cult can cooperate with, so naturally we have to be a bit more careful!"

Yuan Shang immediately waved his hand and began to explain. Upon hearing this, the one-eyed Baptist of Deep Sin gradually turned righteous.

It nodded in agreement. The Abyss Order was attempting to overthrow the order on Earth. Once this goal was announced, it was safe to say that 99% of the forces would keep their distance from them.

Only the remaining "dragons" from the past bear some resemblance to their original goal.

"Don't worry, dragon lizards aren't human. They're very adaptable; they'll just be confused for a while!" The words of the Deep Sin Baptist relieved Yuan Shang.

Although these lizards seem silly, Yuan Shang finds them quite interesting after spending time with them.

At least they're just as interesting as humans.

"Let's go, dragon lizards... let's see just how strong you've become after a thousand years!" The Baptist of Deep Sin gave a word of command as the dragon lizards rushed into the abyss passage before stepping inside as well.

Yuan Shang and the others naturally agreed. Soon, the passage, which resembled a fragment of the starry sky, closed, and the noisy square instantly became quieter.

"Unknown abyssal monsters and dragon lizards..."

In the distance, the debt collector removed the invisibility, and the Fools, who had been spying for so long, were finally able to catch their breath.

The fiery red abyss monster was already enough to suffocate them, but they never expected that an even more powerful four-armed monster would appear in the end.

The sense of oppression they felt was something the fools could only associate with the executor, whom they had only met a few times.

"The fact that the abyssal monsters would try to save another group of dragon lizards that they don't want to be involved is very suspicious..." The lieutenant recalled the scenes just now and lowered his head to think.

"Sir, what should we do next?" one of the Fools asked the lieutenant.

Now it seems that the Yuanxia Palace may indeed be hiding some great secret.

"Send a few strong men to go up and report to the lady, the rest..." The officer glanced at the seemingly endless Great Sun Imperial Palace and continued:

"The rest of you, go back and adjust the teleportation devices, then catch up with those monsters!"

The officer was somewhat relieved that he had brought the Fatui's teleportation device with him; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to catch up with the group of monsters.

Thinking of this, the lieutenant couldn't help but shake his head. It seemed that this was the first time Inazuma's teleportation device had been used.

I heard that my colleagues in Liyue planned to use it to teleport to the Jade Pavilion, but I don't know if they succeeded in the end.

The lieutenant was lost in thought, while his team members displayed exceptional professionalism, quickly getting the teleportation equipment working.

"Om-"

Another buzzing sound came, but unlike the sound of space restoring and then shattering in the abyss passage, this buzzing sound was simply emitted by the instrument components.

A subtle, almost imperceptible fluctuation emanated from the instrument, as if a transparent curtain had appeared in the space, enveloping the fools present.

The Fools, who were shrouded in mist, also became transparent and disappeared into thin air.

All that remained on the spot were the instruments that had gradually come to a standstill.

……

Beneath the long-silent tower, eternal light shines outward. Since humanity departed, the Great Sun Palace has remained unchanged in this form.

It will remain so for the foreseeable future.

"Our own kind! We... Ugh!"

"Ugh! I need to rest!"

"From now on, trust your instincts... Ugh!"

The dragon lizards emerged from the abyss passage, their usual lively demeanor gone; many even appeared disoriented.

In that short time inside the abyss passage, countless pieces of junk information flooded into the dragon lizards' minds, leaving them dizzy and disoriented.

After circling around in place for a while, the dragon lizards finally felt much better. They raised their heads and looked at the building in front of them, and instantly flew into a rage.

"Cage! Shatter it!" Upon seeing the Great Sun Imperial Carriage, a white dragon lizard's tail immediately emitted a white light.

With a flick of its tail, several enormous ice crystals flew out like cannonballs, slamming into a wall of the Great Sun Imperial Palace.

The weathered walls could not withstand such a blow and instantly turned into countless scattered bricks and stones, adding even more hardship to the Great Sun Imperial Palace.

"Artificial light, how annoying!" More dragon lizards sprang into action. Many of their attacks flew towards the light source at the top of the tower.

The dragon lizards dislike the light of the Abyss Palace, not because their visual system has degenerated from living underground for so long.

On the contrary, they have excellent eyesight. They dislike the Great Sun Chariot simply because humans have taken over the earth's surface, monopolizing the selfless sunlight, which is why the dragon lizards are even more unwilling to see any artificial light.

"Stop!" The Baptist of Deep Sin stretched out an arm, and the elemental condensations such as ice crystals, lightning, and water spheres flying in the air came to a standstill.

With a clenched fist, the attacks, imbued with the dragon lizard's rage, seemed to be subjected to immense pressure and were crushed instantly.

The dragon lizards turned around, their eyes filled with confusion, as if wondering why the Baptist of Deep Sin wouldn't let them attack.

Meeting the lizards' bewildered (idiotic) gazes, the Baptist of Deep Sin said with exasperation:

"Use your brains! If you dismantle this thing, what will happen to your people?!"

"Our own kind! Yes! We can't break it!" The dragon lizards belatedly realized what was happening and became cautious one by one.

If this place is demolished, what will happen to the people of our race who are imprisoned inside?

However, the Baptist of Deep Sin soon discovered that his worries were unnecessary.

Upon entering the Great Sun Palace, what appeared before them was an extremely deep and vast well.

Looking down, all one could see was a hazy white mist; the bottom of the giant well seemed to have no end.

“Now I understand why your people didn’t just break through from the inside.” Yuan Shang looked inside the giant well and understood why no dragon lizards had escaped here for thousands of years.

"A cage for imprisoning dragon lizards?" The Baptist of Deep Sin closed his single eye, sensing the depth of the giant well.

"So deep? It's understandable that the dragon lizards can't escape."

The Baptist of Deep Sin sighed. At first, it thought that the dragon lizards hadn't come out for thousands of years simply because they were stupid. Now it seemed that it had probably really misunderstood them.

This deep well is estimated to be a thousand meters deep. That's why the dragon lizards trapped inside haven't found a way out even after all this time.

However, all of this was child's play for the Abyss Order.

Looking around at the anxiously pacing dragon lizards, the Baptist of Deep Sin waved his arm, and another abyssal passage slowly unfolded.

"Go in, go through the portal, and you'll see your companions."
