The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

The man in black had a complicated expression, and his tone still carried a considerable amount of wishful thinking. The old, worn-out prophecy he'd heard since childhood but had never taken seriously was about to come true; no one would easily believe that.

"No, I can tell you definitively that the rise in water level in Baisong Town today is not an accident. Moreover, there is no possibility of seawater backflow here."

Lorend extinguished the last glimmer of hope in the man in black. Serving his master, he naturally knew far more than the man in black before him.

The prophecy is drawing ever closer, that is the conclusion reached by the House of Hearths.

The two continued their conversation, mainly about prophecies and the subsequent reconstruction of Baisong Town.

Then, a loud bang interrupted their discussion.

"Boom!!!"

Chapter 777 The Person Who Can Dissolve

"what happened again?"

"Go over and have a look!"

After the loud noise, the man in black and Lawrence rushed towards the town. They then saw a pool of water gushing violently and the water level rising rapidly.

The fluorescent water surface churned and rippled, like ever-growing waves that swallowed everything in their path.

The once orderly crowd instantly descended into chaos as the raging floodwaters behind them possessed immense power, destroying many houses.

If anyone falls in, no matter how good a swimmer they are, they will inevitably become a floating corpse.

"Damn it! The water level is rising too fast!"

"Those in front! Run to higher ground!"

"Everyone, please don't push, everything will be alright!"

……

The black-clad men guiding the crowd to evacuate were also gradually sweating profusely; with the water level rising so fiercely, someone was bound to be swallowed up.

Now that things have come to this, all they can do is take what measures they can.

As a result, a large number of lifebuoys and floating objects such as wooden buckets with handles were thrown onto the churning water.

Everyone now hopes that those who have fallen into the water can grab onto them, thereby reducing casualties.

"Phew! I really didn't expect the Fools to do something good." Ember said with emotion as he approached Lorend, who was frantically launching lifebuoys.

“There are many things you don’t know. Don’t get in my way.” Lorend raised an eyebrow, surprised by Ember’s unusual attire, but now was not the time to investigate.

"alright."

Ember nodded, and then his next action nearly gave Lorend a heart attack.

"Hey! I told you not to let me interfere with your work, not to send you to your death! Come back here!!!"

With a roar from Lorend, Ember leaped from the top of Whitesong Town to the bottom.

There was no one there anymore, because the water level had risen up in front of them.

Ember raised his palm, and a red light began to flash in his hand.

"Snapped!"

Then he put his arms together, straightened them, and stood at attention.

"Hey—, remember to hold on tight to your lifebuoy—"

Above, Lorend's shouts echoed long and deep.

"You threw it pretty accurately." Yu Jin pulled his arm out of the lifebuoy, then held onto the lifebuoy with one hand and raised the other.

The waves had already splashed onto his armor, which annoyed him for a while.

"No one should be above me!!!"

"boom!"

Intense light and heat erupted from beneath Baisong Town, their brilliance so intense that it bathed the entire pit where the town was situated in a pulsating, fiery red glow.

From a distance, it looks like a giant smelting furnace.

"Flames, erupt!"—this is one of the prayers of fire-wielding martial arts practitioners, belonging to the higher-level prayers.

It can spew out a continuous and intense burst of flames forward. It can be executed while moving, and continuing to spew fire will allow it to continue.

The giant's flames are the extinguishing flames that burned the Golden Tree. Therefore, after the war of the giants, the flames were sealed, and the Watchers were born.

The flames surged from the embers' palms, like the fiery beard of a giant, burning everything in their fury.

"laugh--"

The fiery red and azure blue were locked in a stalemate, with scorching steam rising from below. The shocked crowd finally understood why Ember had told them not to stand directly above him.

"Endless? Interesting." Ember looked at his palm, where what was spewing out could no longer be called a pillar of fire, but a wall of fire.

Even so, the water level is barely holding steady and has not receded as expected.

The water here connects to a vast source, providing exactly what the embers evaporate.

"Increase the firepower!"

Yu Jin released his other hand from the lifebuoy, which landed steadily without melting.

"boom!"

The same fierce flames also erupted from his free palm, instantly enveloping the entire Baisong Town in an even more vivid and bright red.

The massive wall of fire enveloped the entire water surface, releasing the incredibly concentrated heat within.

"Gululu!"

A loud boiling sound came from below, and Yu Jin finally raised his hands and began to walk down.

With each step he took, the water level below dropped. Amidst the billowing white steam, Ember walked until he reached the source of the pool.

It was an inconspicuous depression at the lowest point of Baisong Town, and it was hard to imagine that the flood that had recently engulfed the entire town had come from it.

The embers subsided, but were not completely extinguished. He noticed that the depression was still spewing water, though it was all evaporated by the flames in his hand.

"Hey! What are you standing there for? Hurry up and find some stones to fill this pond, let's see if it still spouts water!"

With the flames still burning in his hands, Yu Jin turned to remind the people who had gathered around him.

"understand!"

Upon hearing this, the people behind also realized what was happening. They scattered like birds and beasts, then picked up bricks or other hard objects from the ground and hurriedly ran over.

"Pfft!"

Beside the pool, a man in black threw a stone from his arms into the pool, and the boiling water immediately surged even more violently.

"Be careful, you'll get burned..."

"Wow!"

Yu Jin stopped speaking before he could finish, because the man in black who had been panting beside him was gone, replaced by a pool of azure water flowing into the pond.

"Hey... just now..."

"You didn't see wrong... Gianli... turned into water!"

"How could a person... how could a person dissolve into water! We must be dreaming!"

……

Many of the people working nearby have witnessed the changes in Jianli. In their eyes, their former companions had simply thrown a stone into the pond and it turned into a puddle of water.

Could it be that some terrifying monster is sealed in this pool?

"Hmph... So you're deliberately going against me, not wanting me to have any peace and quiet, huh?" Yu Jin took a few deep breaths, and then the water stains flowing behind him floated in mid-air, coalescing into a rolling water ball.

The water sphere floated in mid-air, losing its chance to rejoin the pool below.

After doing all this, the flames in Yu Jin's hands became even more concentrated and intense. The light from the pillar of fire was so dazzling that it was impossible for ordinary people to look directly at it.

He strode forward, and the last bit of water in the pool evaporated completely. Now he stood at the bottom of the pool.

The place was already completely dry, devoid of any moisture. Logically, Ember should have withdrawn the flames from his hands by now, but he didn't.

"Boom!"

Pushing the pillar of fire, Yu Jin plunged his palm deep into the crack at the bottom of the pool.

"Boom!"

The ground began to shake, and everyone could clearly feel that the ground they were standing on was extremely hot.

The ground softened, then the soil bulged, and the cracks spewed out towering plumes of hot steam.

"laugh--"

The hissing sound of steam continued for quite some time before finally stopping. Ember, who had maintained a hand-to-hand stance, also pulled his arm out.

Facing the surprised and uncertain gazes of the crowd, he spread his hands and said innocently, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is the hot spring uncomfortable?"

"puff!"

As if in response to what Yu Jin said, a stream of warm, clear water immediately gushed out from the bulge on the ground.

A pool of hot spring water, steaming with rising mist, has been formed, but no one is willing to try it anymore.

The images of the melting of Jianli were still vivid in their minds, which made them have to be careful.

Seeing everyone so cautious, Yu Jin could only explain, "Don't worry, my flames just now went deep enough, so the water level probably won't rise again."

"As for that unlucky guy who was dissolved earlier..."

With a wave of his hand, Yu Jin summoned a water sphere to his side. The water within the sphere was extraordinary; setting aside its fluorescent appearance, it was filled with everything that belonged to the person named "Gianri."

"Why don't we just pinch him back?"

Yu Jin raised an eyebrow and said in a relaxed tone.
