The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Besides, I'm tired myself. You don't know, the Flower Goddess has sharp eyes and a big mouth. She chattered on and on about many things, making me live in fear for the past one or two thousand years."

"Now that I've finally got the chance to retire, I think I should think about myself."

The Great Tree King sighed. It wasn't just the Flower Goddess who was putting pressure on her; the Crimson King was also putting pressure on her. Ever since the Flower Goddess died, the Crimson King had been muttering to himself in the desert all day, seemingly doing nothing.

In the end, forbidden knowledge spread, and she had to clean up the mess. Thinking back to the subsequent cataclysm in Kanria, the Great Tree King let out a deep sigh.

Why do people keep putting pressure on her? Is she really that mentally strong?

"Flower Goddess... Is there something I've forgotten?" Upon hearing the Great Tree King mention the Flower Goddess, Yu Jin scratched his head.

It's so itchy, something's about to grow out.

"Master, have you forgotten about the Eternal Oasis?" Hisa asked cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin suddenly realized what was happening and stood up from the ground, slapping his thigh hard.

"Oh right! How could I have forgotten about that?"

He shook his head in frustration, then hurried off to the so-called eternal oasis.

"Ember, wait... is that thing next to you a spirit suppressor?" The Great Tree King asked, noticing the bottle-shaped creature floating beside Ember.

"That's right, is it rare? I see that everyone with some strength in the desert has one."

Yu Jin pinched and shook Xi Sha, successfully turning her two eye points into mosquito coil eyes.

"That's different... Never mind, I can only say that the Eternal Oasis... is most likely not what you think."

The Great Tree King wanted to remind Ember not to listen to the Town Spirit's words. Although these guys would call their "master" "master," who was the real leader depended entirely on the Town Spirit's strange demands on the "master."

Obeying the demands makes you the master; disobeying will incur three times the wrath.

But then the Great Tree King thought again, so what if it's three times? Even if it's thirty times, or three hundred times, it might not be able to do any damage to the embers.

So she gave up trying to persuade Ember, only vaguely hinting at the differences between the Eternal Oasis and the legendary paradise belonging only to the desert people; it was probably not that simple.

"If you put it that way, I'm even more interested."

"Xisha, lead the way!"

Ember first touched his chin, then waved his hand, making the bottle containing Hisa's parasite spin several times.

"Uh...yes...my master."

Despite her dizziness, Hisa led the way ahead of the embers.

……

"call……"

Strangely enough, in the desolate sea of ​​sand, there is a mountain that is shrouded in storms year-round.

This mountain is the highest peak in the Sumeru Desert—Mount Dama. Its main body is not visible due to the sandstorms that blot out the sky.

The surrounding area is riddled with ravines and canyons. Clearly, this is the work of those fierce winds.

"Amazing, with such strong winds, the mountaintop wasn't flattened." Standing at the foot of Dama Mountain, Yu Jin gazed at the distant mountain shrouded in tornadoes and exclaimed in amazement.

How did he know the intelligence inside Mount Dama? Because the aftershocks of Apep's fight with the God of the Machine had dispersed the storm in this mountain.

Today, the terrain of Dama Mountain is more treacherous than before—numerous huge and irregular pits and deep ravines are scattered all around, making the surface uneven and cliffs visible everywhere.

"This is... Mount Dama?"

Shisa blinked and muttered a few words in disbelief.

She looked at the mountain peaks; indeed, the storm, carrying sand and stones, was still fierce. But why was there a human footprint halfway up the mountain?

Hisa was somewhat puzzled; perhaps the terrain of the Sumeru Desert changed more rapidly than in other places.

"Don't tell me you led us the wrong way." Seeing Xisha's confused look, Yu Jin immediately pointed at her.

"My master... how could this be? We should... go this way next!"

Shisa looked around and finally saw a familiar scene at the foot of the drastically changed mountain. Without saying a word, she took Ember and walked towards it.

It was a ravine, and although from a distance it was just an inconspicuous ravine among the thousands of ravines at the foot of Mount Dama, once you stepped into it, you would find that it was almost no different from a canyon.

Yu Jin looked up and saw that most of the light was blocked by the rock walls on both sides, with only a small portion of the light shining into the valley through the gaps between the rocks.

This must be what they mean by "a narrow gorge." Walking through it, Yu Jin sometimes even wondered if he had ended up underground again.

As soon as he thought this, the creature that could only be seen underground appeared before him—the Abyss Apostle.

"Um... are you going to the Eternal Oasis?" The Abyss Apostle rubbed his hands together like a big fly.

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin raised an eyebrow: "What? Still thinking about our previous deal?"

Seeing that Ember was being so direct, the Abyss Apostle decided to cut the pretense and nodded, then said obsequiously:

"Lord Sinner, you're still recovering from the injuries you sustained while dealing with that human. Are you perhaps...?"

“I think you should find the person who previously appeared to be the God of the Righteousness, since the Baptist of Deep Sin’s injuries were very likely inflicted by him.”

Recalling his previous experience of being scammed, Yu Jin couldn't help but complain.

"That was Dain's personal behavior, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the Order!"

The Abyss Apostle understood the hidden meaning in the embers, so it immediately waved its hand in explanation.

It must be cut! The Sword of the End, who is that? We don't know him at all!

“I feel like you two are in cahoots.” Yu Jin thought about the relationship between Kong and Dain, and suddenly he couldn’t understand it.

What exactly is the relationship between Sora and Daine? How come they're fighting one minute and being best buddies the next?

"Forget it, just follow along." Unable to figure it out, Yu Jin simply stopped thinking about it. He waved his hand, intending to have the Abyss Apostle follow.

After all, what this guy said makes sense; the one who tricked him was Dain, not the Abyss Order.

But after taking a few steps, Ember and Hisa found that the Abyss Apostle was motionless, as if it had gone mad.

"Huh? Why don't you leave?"

"No! Your Highness! Retreat!"

The Abyss Apostle did not answer Ember. It muttered a few words to itself before leaping backward into the Abyss Passage.

Almost at the same moment it disappeared, several familiar voices came on the wind.

Chapter 750 Suppressing Spirits and Suppressing Spirits

2024-06-30

"Lilupal, is the eternal oasis you spoke of really here?"

"Ying, I think she's definitely lying. Let's just leave her here. She's been here for so long, a little longer won't make a difference."

"You noisy little thing, watch out or I'll sew your mouth shut!"

……

The familiar sounds of bickering drifted over, but this time there was another person. Yu Jin followed the sound and, sure enough, saw two figures moving forward.

There should be three: two people and one bottle.

"Huh? Zhenling? So there are conscious ones too?" Yu Jin scratched his head in confusion when he saw the bottle next to Ying and Paimon passionately spitting water at each other.

There are countless spirits in the desert, and they can all be described as irrational madmen. All they can do is vent their resentment and pain.

"Tin canned food..."

Lilupal seemed to have known all along that the Embers were coming. As soon as she heard the latter's words, she immediately turned around, wanting to say something sarcastic.

But upon seeing Hisa floating beside Ember, she felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her throat, leaving her unable to utter a single word.

"There are still conscious sisters in the desert!" Hisa was no less shocked than Lilupal.

She swayed and flew forward, wanting to get a good look at a "sister" who was unusually lucid.

"Child...do you remember your name?"

“Xi...Xisha, my name is Xisha.”

Lilupal's tone softened instantly. If she had been like a shrew before, she had now become a gentle and kind elder.

"Ugh, so cheesy!" Paimon rubbed his arms immediately upon hearing Lilupal's gentle, tender tone—he was getting goosebumps!

"You floating spirit who only deserves to eat sand! In the past, you would have been thrown into the sand sea and exposed to the sun for three days!"

Upon hearing Paimon's teasing, Lilupal instantly turned red and launched into a tirade. Her rapid-fire words left everyone stunned.

Turning her head and seeing Hisa slightly backing away, Lilupal immediately realized she had misspoke. She smiled awkwardly and returned to her previous gentle demeanor.

"Child, your mother's name should be Shirin."

"How do you know my mother's name? No, wait, you...aren't you born of the same mother as me?!"

When Shisa heard Lilupal say her mother's name, she looked at the spirit in front of her, who was almost a carbon copy of her, in shock.

Lilupal wasn't actually born from Shirin!

"Indeed not, I am the original spirit of the town."

"I see... I see." Hisa nodded, though she didn't really understand anything.

In her memory, all the spirits were born from her mother, Shirin. They were almost born without intelligence, and could only repeat their resentment towards their mother and the person who drove the machine in the eternal machine.

Lilupal noticed Shisa's confusion, but she didn't care. For Shisa, a town spirit who should have remained mad forever, regaining her sanity was already a miracle; she couldn't ask for more.

She gathered her thoughts and then asked Hisa, "All of this is in the past now. Can you tell me how you regained your senses? You know... most of the spirits in the desert are a bunch of twisted lunatics."

A glimmer of hope shone in Lilupal's two bright eyes; the hatred in her heart had long since vanished with the destruction of Gül City.

But if possible, she still wants to do something for her crazy "granddaughters".

"It all comes from my master. He gave me back my lost intellect, allowing me to see the world clearly."

Shisa turned around and looked at Ember, who was talking to Firefly.

"Huh? Senior, you've also been recognized as a master by the spirit?" Ying asked in surprise upon hearing Xisha's words.

"Don't listen to her nonsense. I've always been self-reliant. She's the one who shamelessly followed me here."

Yu Jin waved his hand in defense, saying that the spirits recognizing their master had nothing to do with the so-called "master." Their recognition of their master was entirely a unilateral declaration.
