The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

As they spoke, Yu Jin also saw Kujo Sara's expression change from indifference to overwhelming admiration.

Yu Jin scratched his head. Kujo Sara was absolutely right. Raijin was also one of the pinnacles of elemental power. Judging from how often Kujo Sara went to the castle tower, she had met Raijin quite a few times.

Soon, Ember found a breakthrough: "Isn't this just lightning? I'll show you the other elements!"

"Other elements? Are they as strong as the General?" Kujo Sara immediately asked.

"I haven't fought them, so I don't know. I don't know how strong they are, but they are definitely not weaker than your general."

Ember shook his head. Kutri was definitely stronger than Shadow, but unfortunately he was now seriously injured and had become a useless dragon.

As for Ruotuo, that was truly uncertain. He felt that if these two really fought, how long it would take to determine a winner was secondary; the key question was whether Inazuma would still exist after the fight.

"Oh? If you put it that way, then I guess I'll be staying on Umijima Island for a while." A hint of anticipation flashed in Kujo Sara's eyes.

Kujo Sara has never seen anyone who could rival the Thunder General—very few people know that Ember and Shadow once fought.

Kujo Sara wasn't in the castle tower at the time, and neither Ember, Shadow, nor anyone else made a fuss, so she didn't know what had happened.

All Kujo Sara knew was that on the night of the third anniversary of the national seclusion edict, a major riot broke out at Narukami Taisha Shrine, followed by the killing of a group of people and the abolition of the national seclusion edict and the eye-hunting edict.

Among those killed was Kujo Sasara's adoptive father, Kujo Takayuki, the head of the Kujo family.

Everyone in the Kujo family knows these things. But so what if they know?

The remnants of the Kujo family also attempted to seek revenge in Hishimura, but Kujo Sara was too late to stop them, torn between the hatred for his father's murder and his own conscience.

So when she arrived at Scarlet Wood Village, she only saw a few more graves around the village, as well as Forge Knights and villagers of Scarlet Wood Village digging pits.

This situation immediately cleared up much of the confusion in Kujo Sara's heart. After realizing that revenge was hopeless, she focused on reorganizing the affairs of the Kujo family with Kujo Masahito and Kujo Kamaji.

From then on, if anyone mentioned avenging the head of the family again, Kujo Sara would nip the idea in the bud with lightning speed.

Kujo Sara no longer wanted to be torn between family ties and loyalty; this could be considered a form of escapism.

Of course, it's also possible to put it another way: In the current turbulent times, the Kujo family is at the center of the vortex. The most important thing for this large family now is not revenge, but how to avoid being sucked into the sea by the vortex.

All these considerations really annoyed the straightforward Kujo Sara. Since Yu Jin, her temporary superior, asked her to stay on Umijima Island for a while, Kujo Sara readily agreed.

Consider it a vacation here! Although Haiji Island has barren land, its scenery is breathtaking. Considering the high cost of living, it's a great place to relax.

"Then please take good care of these dragon lizards and make sure nothing goes wrong!" Yu Jin finally revealed his true purpose.

Did he really think he was letting Kujo Sara stay on Umijima Island to play? He was worried that Goro wouldn't be able to keep an eye on so many people by himself. If someone among them made a fuss and caused trouble, it would be a blow to Ember's future plans.

The purple mist on the battlefield had dissipated considerably due to time and wind, but many dragon lizards were still asleep on the ground.

"Huh? What's going on? Why is this dragon lizard all black?" The soldier who had just run over was about to pull the dragon lizard away when he noticed that the dragon lizard's skin was black.

This puzzled him greatly, but just as the soldiers were about to call for help, a deafening roar came from behind him.

"Roar!!!"

"Oh no!! The dragon lizard has gone berserk!!!"

In the dark underground, only the faint glow of fireflies could provide a glimmer of light.

If you look up, and the fireflies that inhabit this place cooperate, you can see stalactites standing tall in the sky like the sharp teeth of a giant beast.

"A colossal abyss of layered rock..."

"call!"

Suddenly, a flame blazed up from the pitch-black ground. The crimson flame looked extremely eerie, and the monster it illuminated was even more terrifying.

With its single eye, four arms, and twisted limbs, the monster is unmistakably inhuman.

"Ugh... the filthy sky brings a filthy stench, it's nauseating." The Baptist of Deep Sin noticed the nauseating smell emanating from the air as soon as he arrived in the Abyss of Layered Rocks.

As a demon from the abyss, it was all too familiar with this aura. It was the aura of the sky, and specifically the aura that the sky used to deal with the earth.

"For His Highness's sake, I'll hold on a little longer." Soon, the Baptist of Deep Sin adjusted his body and walked deeper into the earth.

The Deep Rock Abyss, once the largest mining area in Liyue, has suffered numerous hardships, and its depth is now unknown.

With most miners now gone and most areas left idle, the state of the bottom of the strata abyss is unimaginable.

Strangely enough, the Deep Sin Baptist seemed completely unaffected. Holding flames in its hands, it moved effortlessly through the treacherous minefield.

After walking an unknown distance, the Baptist of Deep Sin clenched his fist and extinguished the flames in his palm.

"What a magnificent collision between the sky and the earth!" In front of it, a suspended blue and white stone pillar sprayed pale blue light towards the ground of the mine.

Above the ground was a layer of stagnant mud, accumulated over an unknown period of time. This mud was black and purple, and even gave the illusion of glowing.

But the Baptist of Deep Sin knows very well that this black mud does not glow, unlike the luminous nail in the sky.

Pale blue light flowed from the end of the nail, forming a surge that then erupted upon contact with the ground, dyeing the entire earth with a faint blue hue.

Blue light swirled across the black mud, yet the murky sludge remained motionless. The Baptist of Deep Sin understood that the power from the sky had completely suppressed the power from the earth.

However, the sky had fallen silent, while the earth had already awakened.

The sinful baptist cautiously approached a secluded corner and dipped his arm into the black mud.

Sensing the chaos, much weaker than the Abyss, and the unbearable sense of conflict within it, the Baptist of Deep Sin concluded: "What is produced by the collision of the Abyss and the Peak of Frost?"

Slowly rising from the ground, it began to consider the uses of the mud.

"Perfect timing, those guys have been so lazy lately. These things should really get them excited."

The Baptist of Deep Sin recalled a problem it had carelessly tossed onto humanity. It had brought the dragon lizard to the surface precisely to exhaust humanity's mental energy.

In retrospect, it was indeed a waste of energy, but not the kind of waste the deeply sinful baptist himself envisioned.

These dragon lizards are lazy, only working sporadically. They might set off a few shots when they're in a good mood, but if they're lazy the next day, they'll sleep all day. They're even less diligent than when they're slacking off.

For this reason, the higher-ups of the Abyss Order had talked to the dragon lizards several times. Each time, the dragon lizards readily agreed, but they would become lazy again after only a few days.

This infuriated the Baptist of Deep Sin. Now that he had a chance to teach both the dragon lizard and the humans a lesson, why not take it?

With one hand, it opened the abyss passage connecting to Haiqi Island. With a casual glance, the Baptist of Deep Sin saw a scene that almost made it curse.

A great deal of light surged from the abyss passage, illuminating the dark underground with a gleaming glow.

It was obvious that Haiqi Island was bathed in the bright midday sun. Despite the fine weather, the dragon lizard that the Deep Sin Baptist had been so eagerly anticipating did not cause any trouble.

Conversely, the dragon lizard beside the abyss passage was fast asleep under the sun, its sleeping posture quite bad, with its tongue sticking out.

"Sleep! Sleep! Sleep! No wonder you dragon lizards have been driven to a corner by humans! You deserve it!"

Even a casual glance at the baptism of the deeply sinful would make one feel a tightness in the chest.

It immediately turned its single eye away and, without any hesitation, used its elemental power to condense several large hands.

"Gulp!" Elemental hands of various colors scooped up large swaths of black mud from the ground, and then the Baptist of Deep Sin threw them all into the abyss without looking back.

"Heh heh, I'll see if you lazybones can still sleep!" The Baptist of Deep Sin threw black mud into the abyss passage while letting out a grotesque, inhuman laugh.

They didn't see the occasional hurried human figures flashing by in the abyss behind them.

……

On the large basin in the center of Haiqi Island, a bustling scene unfolded. Everyone was busy cleaning up the dragon lizards sleeping in all sorts of strange positions on the ground.

"Gululu~"

The sound of flowing mud suddenly rang out on the battlefield, startling the busy soldiers.

Along with the sound came a stream of pitch-black mud that appeared out of nowhere.

These silts are sticky, yet they remain fluid. Whatever they come into contact with is assimilated by them.

However, there was one exception: the dragon lizard was over there. The mud crawled towards the dragon lizard, and as soon as it touched the sleeping dragon lizard, the dragon lizard's thunderous snoring gradually subsided.

Then the dragon lizard's brow began to twitch, as if it were experiencing some terrifying nightmare.

"Roar!!!" Then, the dragon lizard suddenly opened its eyes. In its narrow lizard eyes, there was no longer the innocence of before, but a kind of overflowing chaos.

"Holy crap! Something's wrong?!" Upon seeing the features of "pitch black" and "mud," Yu Jin immediately had a stress response.

He reached his hands directly over his breastplate and into his body, touching his actual chest cavity.

The rugged surface of his body was so rough it gave one goosebumps, but Ember was used to it. After all, what kind of undead would dare to call himself an undead if he didn't have the face of an ancient god?

The palm did not linger on the rugged part of his chest for long before Yu Jin felt a darkness.

It was very dark, like a void, as if a crack had suddenly appeared in my body, and there was nothing inside.

Ember traced a circle with his finger along the "black" area of ​​his chest.

Touching the sides of the ring again, an inexplicable heat gathered on both sides of the ring, directly burning a large hole in Jiang's fingernail.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! It's burning me!"

He immediately pulled his hand out and blew a few breaths hard on the burned area under his fingernails.

Despite getting a small blister from the burn, Yu Jin was in an incredibly good mood. Because what had just happened proved one thing—the mud hadn't crawled out of him.

As long as the heat of the fire remains strong, the humanity lurking in the darkness will not be able to emerge.

"But where did these pirated copies come from?" After confirming that it wasn't his fault, Yu Jin swaggered into the gushing mud.

He casually scooped out a lump and stuffed it into his mouth. Yu Jin smacked his lips, then shook his head and said, "This is no good either. It's a blatant fake!"

Yu Jin carefully examined it and realized that this clump of mud was inferior not only to what was on his body, but also to the abyss of this world.

"Hiss... This is a bit strange. The Abyss's stable state?" Just thinking about the Abyss made Ember realize he had figured it out.

He spread the black mud on the ground in his hand and examined it carefully for a while. Combining this with the strange taste in his mouth, he was finally able to define the black mud.

"Who littered on Haiji Island?! Don't let me catch them!"

Chapter 577 Full of Taunts

"Kid, you've got the guts to litter, but not the guts to come out here?!" Yu Jin slammed the black mud in his hand onto the ground and roared as he looked around.

"Roar!!!"
