The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

I really have to thank the junk information that comes with the power of the abyss. It was because of this junk information that the real memories escaped during the memory reconstruction.

Otherwise, if all memories were randomly pieced together again, a human would probably either go insane or become an idiot.

Despite its own pain, the Abyss Apostle looked up and saw the black-robed figure still standing in the distance. Without any hesitation, it transformed into countless afterimages.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

With a clang of metal on metal, the black-robed figures were sliced ​​into countless pieces without any resistance. The Abyss Apostle sheathed his arm blade and stared at the corpses on the ground in silence for a long time.

"Can the human body be treated so carelessly?"

The Abyss Apostle bent down and picked up a severed leg from the ground. There was no blood on it, only flickering sparks of electricity.

A piece of wood that can be found anywhere, with a few dents made, a few screws inserted, and wires connected, becomes a large leg.

The "corpses" on the ground were almost all like this, the only complicated ones were the heads and warheads of the black-robed people.

Now the Abyss Apostles understood why they wore black robes; if they appeared openly in the outside world, people would probably think they were scarecrows come to life.

"unlucky!"

With a kick, the Abyss Apostle sent the head with its protruding light bulb-like eyes flying and quickly ran away.

The strangeness of this group of "humans" was so great that it was a little scared.

Along with the Abyss Apostle, Kaeya, who had remained silent on the hillside, also left.

When Kaiya opened his palm, a dark, rusty ring stood quietly in his hand.

【Kaeya, once everything is ready, put it on and let's transcend this world together!】

This was the last thing Kaia heard from his father.

Chapter 648 Dead Zone

2024-05-05

"Whoa! Whoa!"

"Choo Choo Choo!"

"Ouch——"

"The ecology of Xumi is quite well maintained, full of vitality, with all things flourishing."

Wandering along the narrow paths through the dense forest, Ember heard the cries of many wild beasts. It was a pity that their cries weren't very innocent; otherwise, it would have been perfect.

"That's natural. Sumeru has dedicated forest rangers who are responsible for maintaining the ecological environment."

With no one else around, the responsibility of guiding the tour fell to the Great Tree King.

"I was wondering why something was missing. Turns out it's not purely wild." Yu Jin shook his head and sighed a few times. He said that something sounded a bit off, because it had been artificially maintained like this.

"A completely wild natural environment? You definitely won't see that near Sumeru City. If you really want to go, I recommend the Atuo River Valley and the Land of Good Vision."

"The rainforest there is several times more lush than what you see now, and given the terrain there, the people of Sumeru shouldn't be building a new city there."

The Great Tree King made full use of her role as a guide, recommending two good places for the embers.

There, you can see mushroom pigs bigger than a person and tarantulas the size of a head, which can definitely satisfy Ember's pursuit of "wildness".

"Never mind, I'm more interested in that Lanaro thing you mentioned. Using dreams and memories as your power, that's really amazing."

"After all, only innocent children can see them, so it's normal to have this kind of ability to dream and remember."

The Great Compassion Tree King nodded. In fact, she also thought Lanaluo was very magical. After singing a song, the King Tree grew a big pomegranate, and these magical little guys popped out of the pomegranate seeds.

"Where are we going? And do you think I'm innocent enough?" Along the river, Ember turned to ask the Great Tree King.

"..."

"Are you worried that you can't see the Lannaros? There's no need to worry. They are my retinue, and I still have a way to make you see them."

The Great Tree King glanced at Ember, who was waiting for her evaluation, and decisively chose to avoid her.

Innocence? How do you judge that? She felt that Yu Jin was sometimes innocent and sometimes not, in a superposition state, making him unpredictable.

"Our destination is Vimo Village. If there are no major changes in Sumeru over the next five hundred years, this should still be a transit point for Sumeru to reach Port Omos."

“Vimo Manor? It doesn’t sound very big.” Yu Jin tilted his head and thought for a moment. Judging from the name, it didn’t seem like a big place.

“That’s right, Vimo Village wasn’t very big to begin with. The Sumeru River is gentle and deep, and ships can travel directly from Sumeru to Omos Port, so this transit station isn’t very useful.”

"It's more like a small haven built by a group of people who have been wandering for a long time."

"Then why go there? Do you have some perverse pleasure in disturbing other people's retirement?"

Yu Jin spread his hands and asked. It sounded like a quiet and peaceful place, and he was starting to have second thoughts about going.

After all, wherever he goes, the noise follows. It's best not to disturb other people's peace and quiet.

"That's precisely why we're going there. Vimo Village is small and peaceful, the children there are full of boundless energy, and there are no Void Terminals to steal our dreams. The Lanarans will surely enjoy playing with them."

The Great Tree King jumped around and gestured, trying to show off her loving nature as the Mother of Sumeru, but unexpectedly, Yu Jin pointed at her and teased her.

"I think you need to change these habits of yours. Is it appropriate to use a tiny little girl's arm as a cradle? It looks really out of place."

"Don't give me a chance to become stronger, or I'll definitely throw you into the World Tree and give your brain a good cleaning."

"I don't think this is useful. Wait..."

As they chatted and laughed, Yu Jin paused, turning his head to look at a corner deep in the dense forest.

"Huh? What's going on? Little Yellow isn't cooperating." Yu Jin instantly pulled the Great Tree King and changed its direction.

They left the path beside the river and walked into the dense jungle on both sides.

The Great Tree King initially had a droopy, dead-fish-like gaze, because she felt that something strange must have popped into Ember's head again.

But later, she changed her mind. The green of the jungle was tinged with a hint of yellow, and even the noisy wild beasts fell silent.

This place is almost exactly the same as the scene inside Apep's body back then.

"This is a dead zone."

Before them lay a starkly contrasting scene. A clearing suddenly appeared in the jungle, devoid of any vegetation, except for withered, twisted, unidentified branches, and crimson blossoms growing from them.

Yu Jin sniffed the air around him, scratched his head, and asked in confusion, "Isn't this just the garbage from the underground tree? Could it be that Little Yellow hasn't finished eating it yet?"

He was somewhat puzzled. Given the Golden Tree's appetite, it was already a sign of its restraint that it didn't dig a hole at the edge of this world to steal food. How could it possibly not be able to finish eating all the forbidden knowledge underground?

Who is Xiao Huang?

"Your...mother body? You could say that, right?"

The Great Tree King glanced at Ember and clenched her fist. Although she didn't want to admit it, the reality was that she was one generation above the guy in front of her.

Why did she wake up from the fruit she bore on the tree? Wouldn't it have been better to just come out of the World Tree?

"...I'd like to ask, does the tree you planted have its own consciousness?"

The Great Compassion Tree King hesitated for a while, then suddenly asked.

“Nonsense, how could such a big tree not have consciousness?” Yu Jin replied matter-of-factly.

This moment made the Great Tree King's vision go black. Oh no, what should she call the Golden Tree? She can't really call it Father or Mother, can she?

"However, like the person who created it, it is very lazy. It usually just stays inside the tree trunk, and it won't come out no matter what happens unless someone cuts it down."

"Phew...that's good." The Great Tree King breathed a sigh of relief. The ethical issue was resolved so easily; it felt so good.

"Let's clean up the dead zone. These things must have been there before you planted the trees."

The Great Tree King's gaze swept across the Dead Zone. The removal of forbidden knowledge from within the World Tree did not mean that the Dead Zone would be removed along with it.

There is no forbidden knowledge within the World Tree; it can only ensure that no dead zones will appear in the future. As for those that have already appeared, they still need to be manually removed.

Soon, the Great Tree King spotted a patch of green within a desolate, dead zone. It was a shining grass seed, a contingency plan left behind by the World Tree.

By using elemental power to stimulate these powers from the World Tree and then guiding them into the Dead Domain Tumor, even a possessor of the Eye of God can purify the Dead Domain that grows from forbidden knowledge.

"found it……"

The Great Tree King raised its palm, intending to activate the grass seed with elemental power, but was unexpectedly pressed down by Ember once again.

"What?"

Shh... it's someone we know.

Ember pointed to the swaying jungle in the distance, where a green figure could be vaguely seen.

The figure moved forward cautiously, and its green clothing blended well with the green of the jungle, but none of this could block Ember's vision.

She is Cole, but the somewhat naive girl she once was has now become calm and collected, like a seasoned hunter. I wonder what exactly happened to her.

"Let's go, let's go and deal with our worries."

"Worries about the future?"

"You think something that any random person with divine eyes could remove is worth my attention?"

Ember beckoned deeper into the jungle, "Do you understand if there are lost kids in there? I wonder if he's passed through the Dead Zone. If not, that's fine, but if he has..."

"Let's go, let's go quickly, where are you taking me!"

Upon hearing this, the Great Tree King became even more anxious than the embers.

"Follow closely!"

After turning to give an order to the Great Tree King, Ember transformed into a crawling creature. Using all four limbs and twisting its waist, it vanished without a sound, resembling a giant, crawling cockroach.

"..."

Following the trail left by the embers, the Great Tree King also got up, but it was much slower than the embers.

"Huff... huff..."

Cole's small, long breaths produced faint wisps of air, so weak that even the leaves on the nearby leaves couldn't be moved.
