The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Are all the Kanriyans transformed from groundhogs? They're all so good at digging holes!" Ember couldn't help but complain. It wasn't just him; every single Kanriyan force he'd encountered so far was holed up underground.

And it's in the kind of nook and cranny that ordinary people would never think of! I really don't understand, wouldn't you become withdrawn after staying underground for so long?

"Then why did they end up like this? Why did they merge their souls together?"

"In order to achieve so-called 'transcendence,' it seems that in their understanding, only those whose will rivals that of a world, and who are called 'descendants,' can be considered to have reached the threshold of 'transcendence,' and they truly do not want to stay in this world anymore."

"If they stay in a good place for too long, they'll want to experience Lordland and then stop thinking about venturing out of the world."

Ember poked the face of the malfunctioning Anfortas, thinking these people were just bored. This world was pretty good; a little trouble wasn't worth escaping.

"Willpower comparable to a world... how did you come up with something like that?" After poking, Ember scratched his head.

The idea that one's will can rival that of the world is too broad. How can the will of the world be matched?

Upon hearing this, the Dark Abyss beside it continued to wriggle. The map on its body disappeared, replaced by a huge magic circle.

"This must be the source of their theory... well, they figured it out by compiling information from various sources."

Yu Jin ran over to take a look, and then, within three seconds, he decisively gave up.

If it were just a magic circle, that would be fine. He had learned countless kinds of magical prayers, and the magic circuits on them were also very complex. But the key was that every corner of the magic circle on You Sui's body was engraved with dense characters like ants.

Adding to the fact that the Dark Abyss was inherently dark, and its body was constantly shifting, he only watched for a short while before feeling dizzy.

"Why not change it to a focus value? That would be easier to compare," Yu Jin commented, covering the peephole.

Willpower is easy to calculate in Rodland and Rodel; it's simply a matter of how much focus you have.

The thought of his unstoppable focus on casting spells, "Nine times nine times nine...", filled Ember with a sense of pride.

He should be able to get the status of "Descendant" now, but I wonder if this kind of unregistered status has any benefits.

After looking up at the sky for a while, Yu Jin finally felt much more relaxed. He recalled the actions of that group of people earlier and nodded in sudden realization.

"No wonder these people are so eager to purify the Hilichurls, they're trying to merge with their consciousness?"

"That's roughly the case, and it has to be from the Kanreia. They strive for harmony among all consciousnesses, and hastily merging the consciousness of others would only lower the overall compatibility."

You Su thoroughly searched the consciousness of the person inside, and without a doubt, he was now the know-it-all of Kanria!

"If you ask me, why not just keep having babies like crazy? Five hundred years. Even if they're a pair having two children, and each generation is twenty years, let me do the math..."

"I've surpassed, exceeded one hundred million." Yu Jin counted on his fingers for a while, then instantly felt that Anfortas and his group had something wrong with their heads.

It's something that could be accomplished simply by having a baby, but they insist on making it so complicated.

"Boss, you..."

"What am I?"

"You're a genius!"

The Deep One was sometimes surprised by the Ember’s thought process; how come it hadn’t thought of this?

"So, boss, what do we do with these guys?" After giving a perfunctory reply to Ember's "brilliant idea," Deep detached himself from Anfortas.

"Should we leave behind a source of contamination to their consciousness? Let them know that connecting everyone's consciousness together is an incredibly stupid idea?"

You Su stared at the lifeless body of Anfortas, a restless urge stirring within him. Meanwhile, Yu Jin glanced sideways at the churning mud beneath his feet.

"No, if you bring out the wet humanoid, I'll kill it first, then you too."

Ember waved his weapon wildly, causing Deep Serenity to feel a pang of fear.

He moved nimbly and quickly, reaching Anfertas's side, and then with a "bang!" kicked the man away.

"Remember to be more careful next time. Mind invasion is not a good tactic." Ember waved to Anfortas, who had flown into the sky.

The consciousness of the Kanria people has been uploaded for so long, yet they still cannot perfectly merge. Is it because their desire to restore their kingdom is not strong enough? Is it because they did not completely separate their emotions during the upload?

No, do you really think that invading someone else's mind has no side effects at all?

As you invade others, you end up becoming someone else entirely—Ember has seen this happen quite often.

Chapter 735 Fear of Water

2024-06-22

"Get down! Get down!"

"What's coming down? The Fools' creation of toys is really something, it's so much fun!"

Beside a vast, seemingly endless crater in the desert, a mannequin tens of meters tall runs in an incredibly flamboyant manner.

Beside the doll, you can also see a small green figure.

"That...the issue of drawing water from Fontainebleau..."

Nasita looked up at Navelette in front of her, feeling a little nervous.

Although he became the supreme ruler of various countries around the same time as me, the difference in their auras was enormous.

Narcida was a complete novice with no experience, while Navilette had already handled countless difficult cases.

Both of them were aware of the good and evil in people's hearts, but one found it in the World Tree, while the other experienced it firsthand while handling cases.

"Regarding this issue..."

"No need for such formalities. There are no ministers or scribes here, and what we say won't be recorded and published in any small magazines."

Apep lay in the pit, her dragon head facing upwards. After the Great Tree King's explanation, she reluctantly accepted Navelette's current state.

Okay, actually, not accepting it isn't an option. She wants to get rid of Vilette, and Ember is the first to disagree! As for why…

"Alright, Grass God, I can only apologize for this question. The water of Fontaine is of great importance and cannot be introduced into other countries at will."

"Then how do you explain this river?"

Nasita came to a wide river with an extremely smooth bottom and questioned him.

“Because he was dug by the embers, I don’t think Fontaine’s legal system can restrain him.” Navelette gave a wry smile and shook her head.

For Ember, whose power surpasses even the entire Fontaine legal system, Vilette really has no way to deal with his disobedience to Fontaine's laws.

"Why do you make me sound like some great villain? Didn't I pardon you, Vilette, from the charge of 'dragon treason'?"

The pilot of the God of the Machines, who was in the distance, stopped and immediately emphasized loudly.

"When did you become the Dragon King's chief judge?" The Great Tree King glanced at Ember; he really knew how to find fault with himself.

"You have a problem with that?" Yu Jin strode over to Apep's side and asked patiently.

“I have no objection.” Appepron puffed out her cheeks, then suddenly deflated. Her voice was very weak.

"So you have a problem with that?" Yu Jin squatted down again and asked Vilette.

“No…no.” Navelette took a few steps back and shook her head stiffly.

Neither dragon had any objections, so Yu Jin stood up contentedly and pointed at the Great Tree King, saying:

"See? Neither of the parties involved has any objections, and you're still giving me your opinion. I declare your opinion invalid!"

The God of Justice raised one arm high and then slammed it to the ground, like a judge delivering a verdict.

"Fine, fine, my opinion is off. So when are you coming down? Don't tell me you want to take this thing away."

The Great Tree King nodded helplessly, then urged Ember to come down quickly—she wanted to go in and play too!

"I wouldn't take it away, and I'm clearly helping you out, so why do you make it seem like I'm just playing around?"

"Help? What kind of help did you provide?"

"Let's measure the size and depth of this pit using the thigh of the God of Justice. Hmm... According to the measurement just now, the pit is 24.78 kilometers in diameter and 1057 meters deep. The main topography of the pit bottom is..."

The God of Righteousness nodded, then rattled off a whole bunch of data, leaving the Great Tree King completely bewildered.

"Okay... alright, I believe you're not joking." She nodded slightly and stopped trying to bother Yu Jin.

Ember did do some things, but she really wanted to have fun! Comparing the two, the Great Tree King felt that his personal entertainment should take a backseat.

What she didn't know was that only the first two things Yu Jin had said were true; the rest were just random pieces of information cobbled together using the academic language of Kanria that he had just learned.

The God of Wisdom always remained humble. When the Great Tree King heard Ember's incoherent words, his first thought was that there were flaws in his own knowledge system, rather than suspecting that Ember was lying in order to play a little longer.

"So, with such a big crater and the evaporation from the desert, the water level in Fontainebleau should drop by a few meters, right?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the water in Fontainebleau has already flooded quite a bit of the land, hasn't it? You have so much water, share some with the desert!"

Ember crouched down and slowly coaxed Vilette.

Navelette, however, looked conflicted. He shrugged helplessly and explained to the crowd:

"It's not that I don't want to, but in the ancient prophecy of Fontaine, the water will rise and submerge the entire Fontaine."

"My intuition tells me this prophecy is probably true. You are at a similar level to me, or even higher, so you should know the true power of prophecy."

"The flow of water containing the power to foretell destiny into other countries is not so much about stimulating the prophecy itself, but more about whether it will extend the prophecy to other lands."

"Now you don't need to worry anymore, because the water has reached the desert."

Yu Jin was completely confused by the terms "fate" and "prophecy," but he did know one thing: the water from Fontaine had flowed into Sumeru.

The mud on Appepp's body is a good example.

"Didn't you notice that the water in this river is unusually clear? I have stripped everything out of this water, hoping that the power of prophecy will not come to Mount Sumeru as well."

"And this one river is the limit of my control; any more than that, I can't handle."

Navelette and the others arrived at the riverbank, and as previously mentioned, the water was so clear it seemed unreal.

The water, bluer than a cloudless sky, flows across the land like a long, clear mirror.

The God of Justice's massive hand plunged deep into the river, nearly blocking the channel. Ember looked at the flowing water in his hand and exclaimed in amazement, "Really, there's absolutely nothing there."

This water was the purest water Ember had ever seen. All the tiny particles and dust invisible to the naked eye in the water had disappeared without a trace. Apart from the "water" itself, there was nothing in the river.

“Unfortunately, plants don’t need extremely pure water.” A corner of Apep’s body touched the clear river, and then she frowned.

It's hard to say whether this kind of water is good or bad for plants.

"Retract your power, let the river flow freely. As for the prophecy you fear..."

Apep lowered his head, then suddenly smiled: "If all else fails, just take the Fontaines and follow him around. I don't believe any water can swallow him up."

The dragon's claw pointed to none other than the God of Justice, who was kneading mud nearby.
