The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

The Great Compassion Tree King was the first to react. She rubbed her eyes and exclaimed in disbelief.

They were just diverting water to create an oasis deep in the desert, how come they've suddenly returned to Jingshan Palace?

"Still surprised! If you keep being surprised, the World Tree will be gone!!!" Ember slapped Nasita, the Great Tree King, and Navelette on the top of their heads, and the three of them instantly came to their senses.

Why did I come here?

"Because you are the water dragon, you might be useful next."

Ember explained to Navelette that if Appepp hadn't been so big, he would have even wanted to shove Appepp over as well.

After saying that, he put his hands on Nasita's shoulders: "Hurry, the World Tree is on fire! Let us in quickly!"

"understand!"

Nasita knew the situation was urgent, and nodded quickly, her panic clearly visible on her face.

The Great Tree King was equally nervous, but after seeing Nasita's expression, she took a deep breath and said:

"Don't be so nervous. Look, it's only up to your ankles. The fire is still very small."

As she spoke, she lifted her small, delicate feet, which were abnormally red and blistered in some places.

Upon hearing the words of the Great Tree King, Nasita belatedly looked at the soles of her feet. Her injuries were even more severe than those of the Great Tree King; some of her skin had even been burned and peeled off.

However, amidst the tension of the World Tree burning, she completely ignored the changes happening to her own body.

"I...I understand! Everyone get ready!"

He gripped the Heart of God tightly in his hand, and a beam of emerald green light enveloped everyone.

The light has a special connection with the World Tree; it can travel across immense distances to reach the World Tree without needing to flow through the earth's veins.

The light faded, and then a pungent smell filled everyone's nostrils.

“Narcida and I control the World Tree’s shrinking roots. Navelette, try to extinguish the burning flames with water.”

"As for the embers..." The Great Tree King closed its eyes, then pointed to a corner beneath the World Tree and said:

"Ember, go down there. The source of the fire is there. Bring it out!"

"learn!"

"understand!"

Both Villette and Ember nodded. With a "plop," Ember leaped into the ground beneath the World Tree.

"Wow!"

Seeing that Ember had begun to act, Navelette was not to be outdone. He slammed his scepter down and raised his other hand at the same time.

Its body shimmered with azure ripples, but unfortunately, deep underground, there was no water to answer the Dragon King's call.

However, Villette did not expect that. He raised his palm and pressed it down, causing the aquamarine color to expand many times over, and hurled it towards the distant fire.

"Wow!"

A continuous waterfall cascaded down from the sky, soaking the burning roots of the World Tree.

"laugh--"

Countless white mists rose up, like the flow of information below surging upwards.

"Not enough! Give me more!"

Both the Great Tree King and Nasita felt a coolness at their ankles, but it was far from enough, as the heat of the flames remained.

"Right on my mind!"

Navilette held the scepter with both hands, raised it, and then slammed it down heavily.

"O Tide, I have returned!"

"Boom!!!"

The white misty ocean has now transformed into a real ocean, rising in azure blue and completely enveloping the roots of the World Tree.

"Gollum! Gollum! Gollum!"

The azure ocean began to surge, and the flames were unexpectedly powerful; only a portion of the roots were ignited, yet they were able to rival the ocean raised by Vilet.

Beneath the ocean, the embers creaked and groaned. He looked around; the deep seabed was almost dark, devoid of light.

But even in this darkness, one could vaguely see large amounts of bubbles churning in many places. If one swam closer, one could discover that the seawater nearby was already boiling.

Ember was aware of this, so he had no intention of swimming over to check it out. He just wanted to retrieve the source of fire the Great Tree King had mentioned and get out of the seabed as quickly as possible!

Diving is one of the few things Ember dislikes.

Besides the boiling bubbles, there are countless rolled-up, nodule-like things in the ocean.

It's obvious without a doubt that this was the work of the Great Tree King and Nasita. If these dense "root nodules" were expanded outwards, it's possible that the entire ocean would be covered with the roots of the World Tree.

The fire source is not far below; I can feel the intense heat there!

"In a moment, the Tree King and I will loosen the roots there. Ember, keep an eye out for anything floating up."

Swimming in an ocean of water and information, the embers continued their journey towards the hottest spot. Soon, the voices of the Great Tree King and Nasita reached his ears.

Then, he felt a barely perceptible ripple in the water below him, and a charred figure gradually rose from the seabed below.

Because the person was burned so black, Ember almost didn't react at first. However, because the person still had flames on their body that even the ocean couldn't suppress, he eventually stopped the rising figure.

"This……"

Yu Jin looked at the figure; it seemed somewhat familiar. He reached out towards the most intense part of the flames, and after groping around, he pulled out a burning fireball and a large amount of black liquid.

"laugh--"

The flames burned not only the seawater, but also the vast amount of abyssal power covering his hands.

"Damn it, so they're going to pin this on me?" Yu Jin looked at the fireball in his hand, which was a mixture of his dead skin flakes, hair, and nails.

To put it in more sophisticated terms, these are fragments of his body, little things he made on a whim after hearing Zhen's words.

However, he never expected that the skirmishers would go to such lengths to gather a large amount of abyssal power in order to unleash the power contained within this thing.

Moreover, they used this power to burn the World Tree.

Hey, have you found it yet?

"Looking for... found it!"

Yu Jin responded somewhat guiltily, glancing down at the charred remains of the stragglers, his heart suddenly pounding.

This is something that no one in heaven or earth knows about. Who would know that he has anything to do with it? This is completely an evil conspiracy by the Fools!

Thinking this, Yu Jin suddenly burst out of the water.

"boom!"

A column of water rose, and the embers, their bodies steaming, leaped to the ground.

"Found him. The source of the fire was this guy. I've already extinguished the fire on him."

Yu Jin tossed the mangled body of the stragglers to the ground. Several people crowded around to look at it and asked, "Who is this?"

"Hiss... an uneducated doll?" Yu Jin scratched his head, unsure if he was right to say that.

"Never mind him for now. He only has two things left to do: dig the grave and fill it with soil. We have a lot more to do!"

Embers sighed as he tossed the stragglers aside. This guy first stuffed the Abyss into the engine, then ignited the spark; it was impossible for him not to.

The only hope of saving him is to use the power of time. But it's clear that Ember has no intention of doing so—he's already thinking about when to add another grave mound to Inazuma's grave.

He was very lenient with the Fools; if he didn't think of them, he let it go, but if he did, he would cause them trouble.

They're lucky they weren't killed; if they were, it's a testament to the iron fist of justice. Of the executors they've encountered so far, he seems to have a better impression of the young master.

Although this guy is bad at fighting, he's simple-minded and has the purest purpose. All he does is fight, making him the lowest IQ among the Jumanji's executives.

"How is it? Can the flames that have extended out be extinguished?" With random thoughts running through his mind, Yu Jin ran to the side of Navelette, who had a solemn expression on her face.

“It’s difficult. The water of the Primordial Sea of ​​the Embryo might work, but I’m not in Fontainebleau, and the water of the Primordial Sea of ​​the Embryo is related to a curse…”

"Still under the curse? If you don't mobilize the entire Teyvat, it'll be gone!"

Upon hearing Vilet begin chanting the curse again, Ember immediately emphasized.

"..."

“That’s true, wait a moment!” Upon hearing this, Navelette suddenly realized that it was indeed the case.

The entire Teyvat is about to be destroyed, so why bother with those curses? Activating the Primal Ocean might hasten the arrival of the curses, causing them to devour Fontaine.

Without activating the original primordial uterus, Fontaine will soon be completely destroyed due to the disruption of the earth's veins.

Having figured this out, Navelette calmed down and began to use his authority as a water dragon to contact the primordial womb located beneath Fontaine.

The transfer process was obscure and arduous, and Vilette had a strange feeling that her authority as the Water Dragon was not perfect.

Perhaps he was too young? Vilette couldn't help but think so. After all, according to Apep, a dragon's power was directly proportional to the amount of elemental energy accumulated within its body.

The best way to accumulate elemental power is through aging. An old dragon like Appepp, who has lived for an unknown amount of time, is simply not on the same level as me.

In the distant ocean of Fontaine, the waters of the primordial womb seeped out, surging towards the depths of Mount Sumeru under the influence of Navelette.

Everything was progressing gradually, but the life-filled flow of water in the primordial womb suddenly stopped for some unknown reason.

Deep underground, Vilette opened her eyes in astonishment. Those around her, seeing this, immediately understood that something unexpected must have happened.

"What happened?"

"It seems I have to take action." Yu Jin rubbed his hands together, unsure if he could control and retract the flames fueled by the abyss.

If that's not possible, then he can only use "fire fueled by the abyss" to ignite his own flames.

It's a mouthful, but Ember likes this brutal approach. If he doesn't like something, he'll just burn it.

So far, this method has worked every time.

"A vast amount of the original water in the womb is surging uncontrollably!"
