The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

The leading scholar shouted, and the scholars beside him vanished in an instant. At the same time, a deep purple streak flew out from behind them, hurtling towards the direction of the embers.

"Snapped!"

The glass shattered, and the purple hue spread around his feet.

"Demon God's resentment? It's somewhat similar, but not quite." Purple enveloped the embers as he grasped the strange power around him and uttered a question.

This power is similar to the remnants of a demon god, but it contains less resentment and is instead more corrosive.

"The Dead Zone... and the remnants of the Demon God... I understand now, this place was originally used to study the Demon Scale Disease."

Soon, Ember realized that this power was the same power that had remained in the bodies of Cora and Galura.

"So this is where they came from? But weren't those two captured by the Doctor? Could they be connected to the Order of the Church?"

Ember was somewhat confused about the relationship, and he was too lazy to figure it out. Anyway, as things stood, the Order of the Church and the Doctor were just tools he was going to use to sharpen his skills.

The power formed by the mixture of demonic remnants and forbidden knowledge was spreading, but there was no one around the embers anymore.

"You have plenty of clever tricks, but if you want to stop me, clever tricks aren't enough. You need great wisdom to persuade me."

Having found his direction, Ember dashed forward and smashed through several walls along his path, creating one human-shaped hole after another.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Wow!"

Emerging from the broken wall, Ember blocked the scholar's path through the secret passage.

"I……"

"Without further ado!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Another earth-shaking tremor ensued, and Yu Jin grabbed each person he found. Before long, he had shattered the specially reinforced walls and foundations into pieces.

"Bah!"

With a kick of the wall in front of them, the scattering crowd returned to their starting point.

Yu Jin counted the number of people; it wasn't enough, which was within his expectations.

"boom!"

He punched the ground, and the entire building trembled even more violently than before, cracks appeared on the ground, and then it collapsed.

"Rumble!"

The once continuous ground collapsed into several parts, and amidst the crumbling rubble, a cry for help and a scream could be faintly heard.

"Help... help..."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Yu Jin quickly cleared away the rubble under his feet, and soon, a head with blood seeping from its forehead appeared at his feet.

This person was the leading scholar.

Seeing the figure above him, he forced a smile.

"I said what just happened was..."

"Snapped!"

Before he could finish speaking, a large black footprint was imprinted on his face. Blood seeped more from the scholar's forehead, and his consciousness began to blur. But this did not stop Ember from pulling him out of the tunnel.

"I have to thank you all, at least you made me stop being so conflicted."

This guy is clever; he probably didn't tell anyone about the tunnel that was collapsed by the embers. Otherwise, everyone wouldn't have run into the surface tunnel instead of going underground.

He glanced at the few people slumped on the ground behind him, but unfortunately they were not responding to what Yu Jin was saying.

After all, under such a strong impact, they would either be unable to think of anything else due to physical pain, or they would simply suffer a concussion.

Emerging from the depression in the ground, Yu Jin saw that the strange power had spread into the corridor, but there was still some distance to go before reaching the ward.

"It seems there is still plenty of time."

Clearly, it's impossible for it to spread to the wards.

"Suck--"

Yu Jin straightened his chest and inhaled deeply. The dissipated power was as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand and pulled into his body.

While inhaling, he wasn't idle either. After inhaling a few mouthfuls of the mixture of demonic remnants and forbidden knowledge, the unconscious scholars in his hands were now all sitting upright in their iron chairs.

"This thing... how do I start it again? I forgot to ask." Yu Jin looked at the green leaf helmet covering the head of the leading scholar and scratched his head.

"Forget it, asking is probably pointless. Just press all the buttons you can!"

However, he quickly gave up thinking and, upon seeing the various buttons on the helmet, Ember pressed them all without hesitation.

"Buzz!"

The green leaf helmet emitted a bright green light. Outside, it would definitely look cool, but in the underground of the Vitality House, it only gave people a strange sense of dread.

"Ooh-ooh..."

The scholar sitting in the chair immediately felt his limbs become uncontrollable as if he had been electrocuted, which also caused the helmet on his head to shake.

What's particularly thoughtful is that these people took this into account when designing the device; they installed restraint straps on the hands, feet, and neck.

"Snapped!"

As soon as the restraints were fastened, the scholar, who had almost slipped off the chair, immediately sat up straight.

"How thoughtful! You created this yourself, how can you not experience it for yourselves?"

Yu Jin pressed on, and in no time he had done it to everyone.

In an instant, the entire basement was filled with many "enthusiastic people" producing canned knowledge, but it was unclear whether they were producing canned knowledge of the gods or some other strange thing.

Chapter 665 The Waiting-for-a-Gold-In Group

Chapter 665 Waiting for the Opportunity... The Gilded Brigade

The canyons in the desert are all barren lands, but in one corner of this barren land, a building suddenly appears.

What else could a building be found in the desert? It's a Vitality House, of course.

However, the Vitality House was no longer as desolate and terrifying as before.

The shouts could be heard from afar. Even the fierce winds deep in the desert could not drown out these sounds.

"wakaka!"

"Woo-la-la!"

"Aaaaaah~~"

……

Strange screams, howls, and songs mingled together, successfully destroying the eerie atmosphere of the vibrant house completely.

"Should I not have let them out?" Sitting in the old chair, Yu Jin heard the shouts coming from the rooftop and underground, and began to doubt his decision to release these mad scholars.

Several days had passed since the scholars were fitted with helmets. After an initial period of lethargy, the mad scholars, having discovered that the Embers meant no harm, completely let loose.

In short, they were even more unruly than the village guards of Aru Village.

This made Yu Jin think that their quietness at the beginning was just an act, otherwise how could they have gone from being listless to full of energy in less than a day?

After clearing away all the odds and ends, Ember pulled out two objects that looked like teleportation anchors.

"Keeping Knowledge..."

The cans in my hands are of different sizes, one big and one small, one green and the other...

"Buzz!"

The green in Yu Jin's hand instantly turned scarlet.

After playing with the "divine knowledge in a jar" in his hand for a while, a flame burned it all away.

"Why would the Order of the Order need something like this that drives people crazy? I don't understand." Yu Jin clapped his hands and shook his head.

He initially thought "knowledge packaged in cans of gods" would be something interesting, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a complete mental bomb.

If what's hidden here were to be revealed to the crowd, Aru Village would probably be devastated—suddenly having so many mouths to feed is indeed a challenge for this desert village.

"Perhaps the Faith Council is treating the World Tree?" Ember suddenly thought of a possibility. Read as "divine knowledge," written as "forbidden knowledge," this thing ultimately stems from being corrupted by the World Tree.

But now, it has been extracted, through the human brain, the World Tree has been extracted, even if it is only a tiny fragment.

If there are enough people and enough helmets, it doesn't seem impossible to drain all the forbidden knowledge of the World Tree.

"Should I tell the Little Tree King?" Sensing that Sumeru was about to become the first kingdom where everyone was mentally challenged, Yu Jin felt it was necessary to tell the Great Tree King, who had shrunk in size.

However, he eventually abandoned the idea. Even if the Church's goals were truly so noble, it wouldn't stop Ember from cutting them down.

Moreover, they simply couldn't possibly have such an idea, as for why...

Yu Jin took out another can of knowledge. This can of knowledge was small, but it was very new, obviously produced in the last few days.

Crush the canned knowledge in your hand, which acts like an anchor point, and tiny specks of white and green light burst forth from it.

Without wearing the Void Terminal, Ember simply grabbed the light in the air and slapped it onto his forehead.

"Hmm... treating forbidden knowledge as divine knowledge, I hope you have good luck..."

After briefly reviewing the knowledge in his mind, Ember threw it into some unknown corner.

From this knowledge, he learned that the Council of the Church had always attributed the scholars' madness to divine knowledge, never considering that it was caused by the Abyss.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Just as Ember was pondering why the Order of the Gods was so keen on collecting knowledge about the gods, a figure ran over from a distance.

"What are you doing? The food is over there, the drinks are over there, and the toilet is outside. Go find it yourself."

Pulling himself back to reality, Yu Jin responded to the panting, mad scholar in front of him. He'd gotten used to it over the past few days; the questions these guys asked were always about food, drink, and maybe, at most, poop.

"No...no. There are people outside..." To his surprise, the mad scholar didn't bother him, but instead gave him a good opportunity.
