[Time seemed to freeze at this moment. It was not until a few seconds later that Huang Jin saw the tip of the gun piercing his heart. He slowly went down with an unwilling expression.]

[“The people of Liyue have wiped out the monster tide. My punishment for myself has ended. Now it’s time for you to pay the price for your actions.” Zhongli spoke slowly only after Huang Jin fell to the ground. ]

PS: There will be two more updates today, but it will be quite late before they can be updated.

Chapter 38 The Truth of Heaven

[After solving the problem of Huang Jin, Zhongli looked around. Inside the cave was Huang Jin's laboratory. On the stone table were simple experimental instruments and various monster corpses. Suddenly, Zhongli set his sights on a neat notebook on the laboratory table.]

[Zhongli opened the notebook and flipped through a few pages, then handed it to you: "This is Gold's experimental notes and... diary. There should be answers to the questions you want to know. But please remember my advice. After you get the answers you want, please burn this notebook and never make your answers public, otherwise the entire Teyvat continent will follow in the footsteps of the Kingdom of Kanria."]

【“I understand.” You solemnly accepted the notebook. 】

[“One more thing.” Zhongli took out an energy ball condensed from pure rock elements from the Eye of God. You recognize it. It is the magic weapon used by Yaksha Zhinian who wandered in Wuwang Slope back then.]

[“Before Fushe went to the Layered Abyss, he gave me the magic weapon used by his brother and asked me to find a new owner for it. I think it would be better to give it to you.” Zhongli looked at the magic weapon in his hand, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes. ]

[“It is the weapon used by Mi Nu, one of the Five Yakshas. It is called Rock Fury. With it, even the owner of the Eye of God will not be able to defeat you easily.”]

[“This, this is too precious. I am just a knight who focuses on swordsmanship. Giving me this kind of artifact will only bury it. No, I can’t accept it.” You shook your head desperately, indicating that you can’t accept such a precious gift. ]

[“Take it. When you learn the secrets of the world, you will definitely be eager to improve your strength. Rather than waiting for you to improve your strength by any means necessary, it is better to give you this weapon directly.”]

【"Forehead……?"】

[You don't understand why Zhongli said that, but you still accepted the Rock's Fury. ]

[“Well, I’ve been very happy traveling with you over the past few years. Let’s say goodbye now.” Seeing that you accepted Panyan’s Fury, Zhongli smiled slightly and waved goodbye to you.]

[“Wait, where are you going?” you asked. ]

[“Go and have a rest. I have met so many people and things during these years of traveling, and my body has become seriously worn out again.” After Zhongli finished speaking, his figure also disappeared. ]

[After Zhongli left, you opened the notebook in your hand. From then on, the secrets of the world finally unfolded before you...]

[It was during the Demon God War. On the ground, countless demon gods were fighting for the position of the Seven Gods in a melee that mortals could not imagine. Humans could only survive under the protection of a few benevolent demon gods.]

[Suddenly, accompanied by a loud noise in the sky, a floating island from another world appeared in the sky, and then, "Heavenly Principle" appeared. ]

[After the Sky Island appeared, the original starry sky of Teyvat disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a false starry sky. The humans on the earth suddenly discovered that, for some reason, some humans would obtain a special magical organ called "God's Eye". With it, humans can control the elements with their mortal bodies. Although they are far from being able to compete with the demon kings, in that chaotic era, every bit of power means a bit of hope for survival, so humans are very happy to gain new power.]

[But they don't know that there is no free lunch in the world. Every time there is a God's Eye owner on the ground, six corresponding stars will appear in the sky. These stars are called the constellations. If a human can light up all of his constellations in his lifetime, he will be qualified to become a god. Therefore, the owner of the God's Eye has been called the "original god" for a long time. ]

[As for those who failed to become the original gods, their souls will be turned into firewood after death, becoming the fuel for Sky Island to continue to maintain this set of rules. ]

In reality, when Tsumugi Kujo saw the information in front of him, his face turned pale instantly, and he unconsciously took out his Thunder God's Eye.

To be honest, if she didn't know that even if she threw it away, it would return to her intact the next day, she would have wanted to throw it away.

[This set of rules given to humans by the Sky Island and provided to the Sky Island by human souls is the "law of heaven"]

[The one who is responsible for maintaining the law of nature is a person who came to the continent of Teyvat along with Sky Island and calls himself the "Maintainer of Law of Nature". ]

[At first, the demons did not take the Heavenly Justice Maintainer seriously and continued the Demon War until the end, when the continent of Teyvat was divided by the seven most powerful demons. The Heavenly Justice Maintainer called all the demons to the Sky Island.]

[It just so happens that the seven most powerful demons all take protecting humanity as their responsibility. With the increase in the number of God's Eye owners and the decrease in the number of demons, the power of the Heavenly Law Maintainers has reached an unprecedented level. Even if the seven demons join forces, they may not be able to guarantee a stable victory over the Heavenly Law Maintainers. At that time, the human population had been reduced to an extremely dangerous level in the hundreds and thousands of years of demon wars. If another war breaks out, humanity may be completely extinct.]

[The Heavenly Law Maintainer frantically demanded that Heavenly Law be the center, and the Seven Demons assisted in establishing a new order. In order to show her power, she threw a Frost Sky Nail into the ground, turning the kingdom with the most dense human population at that time, the Kingdom of Findenir, into history.]

[In order to protect their subjects, the seven demon gods had to compromise and established their own countries on the continent of Teyvat, and incorporated themselves into the Sky Island system. The Heavenly Justice Maintainer gave them a special God's Eye called "Heart of God". The Heart of God is directly connected to Sky Island and is responsible for issuing God's Eyes to humans on earth.]

【“So… that’s how it is.”】

"It turns out...that's it."

Tsumugi Kujo in real life and in the Sims expressed the same sentiment.

"After all this trouble, the reason why the Kingdom of Findenir was destroyed... was simply because the Heavenly Justice Maintainer wanted to show his power to the Seven Gods..."

[However, the law of nature is not something that cannot be resisted... Deep in the ground of Teyvat, there is a power called "ground veins". The "ground veins" store all the information about the past, present, and future of Teyvat. It is a power native to Teyvat. As long as we find a reasonable way, we can definitely use it to defeat the law of nature! ]

PS: The narrative of this chapter is too grand, and I accidentally lost control of it. Many settings are different from those in the game (I have tried my best to fit the game background). Please forgive me. (I don’t know if I can make up for it in the next chapter)

Chapter 39 The Second Simulation Ends

[The following content is more routine. The Kingdom of Kanreya discovered the energy of the earth veins and tried to use it. In order to prevent themselves from following the footsteps of the Kingdom of Findenir, they created a series of war machines such as mechanical guards and mechanical hunters to protect themselves, but they overlooked one thing. ]

[The ley lines record all the information of Teyvat, and also record the negative emotions of everyone in Teyvat. Due to the large-scale use of ley line energy by the Kingdom of Kanreya, the negative emotions from the ley lines also permeate all the citizens of Kanreya. These negative emotions will make their thoughts more and more paranoid and extreme, and finally lead to the path of self-destruction.]

[The Kanreya people tried to use the energy of the earth veins to create a mechanical demon god, and just when it was about to be successfully built, the seven gods gathered in the capital of Kanreya under the mandatory order of the Heavenly Justice Maintainer...]

[The rest of the notebook contains knowledge about alchemy.]

[“If, if the original gods who fail to light up all the constellations will be turned into firewood for Sky Island… then Rosaline…” Your face turned pale, and you dared not think any further.]

[“No, it’s impossible… It’s absolutely impossible…” The notebook in your hand fell to the snow without you noticing. You held your head in your hands, and the memory of Rosaline kept flashing back.]

[After staying in Liyue for several years, you have also been exposed to many customs related to Liyue. In their folklore, after people die, their souls will be reincarnated. The earth veins will determine what kind of new life they will be reincarnated into based on the good and evil deeds they did in their lifetime. In Liyue folklore, being scattered is the worst ending. You should know that even the most evil people will get the opportunity to be reincarnated after being tortured in hell, while those whose souls are scattered will be completely annihilated, and disappear in the true sense.]

[Have you ever imagined what Rosaline would become if she were reincarnated? Perhaps decades later, you might meet a girl who looks exactly like her, and maybe that is her reincarnation.]

[If what is written in the notebook is true, then Rosaline's ending may... no, it is destined not to be a good one. ]

[“Absolutely impossible! How could someone as innocent and kind as her end up in such a tragic way!” You gritted your teeth, not daring to believe, nor willing to believe that the contents of the notebook were true.]

[If you want to prove the authenticity of the contents of the notebook, there is only one way... As mentioned above, the ground veins record everything on the continent of Teyvat. If you can read the memories in the ground veins, you will know what happened to Rosaline! ]

[Reading the memory of the earth veins requires a special machine from the Kingdom of Kanreya, but now that the Kingdom of Kanreya has been destroyed, it is impossible... No, that's not right! There is a place that may meet my conditions.]

[You suddenly thought of the capital of the Kingdom of Kanreya. If there are machines there that are lucky enough to escape the attack of the Seven Gods, then maybe they can still be used. And by chance, you know where the entrance to the capital of the Kingdom of Kanreya is, but there are a large number of mechanical guards there, and it is impossible for you to do so with your power...]

[Thinking of this, you suddenly looked at the Panyan Fury that Zhongli gave you, and immediately understood why he insisted on giving this magic weapon to you. ]

[Now that you know the location of the capital of Kanreya and have the strength to break through the mechanical guards, there is absolutely no reason to escape. ]

[You decide to go to the capital of Kanria.]

[27 years old: You returned to your hometown Mondstadt. Standing on a high place, you looked at the bustling Mondstadt. For a moment, you felt as if you were in another world. You returned to your childhood village. No one in the village recognized you, but you still saw a few of your childhood playmates. A smile appeared on your lips, and then you left the village where you were born.]

[You come to Mondstadt. After several years of development, Mondstadt has completely recovered from the attack of the dragon Durin. The streets have become lively again, just like your memory. However, the difference is that Rustam and Rosaline have disappeared forever.]

[You went to see Rustan's tombstone. This was your first time to see him. You told him about your adventures over the years, and finally half-jokingly said that if you had your current strength, you would definitely be able to beat him down.]

[You erected Rosaline's tombstone at Wangshu Inn, which is not on the way to your destination, so you don't plan to go there. However, you still posted a task at the Adventurer's Association in Mondstadt, asking adventurers to deliver a letter to the infatuated girl who is still waiting for you at Wangshu Inn.]

[The content of the letter is only one sentence: If I don’t come back within two years, please forget me.]

【After finishing all the things, you set out on your final journey. 】

[Three months later... after a long search at sea, you finally found the entrance to the capital of Kanreya that Sora had told you about. In order to prevent your work and rest from being disrupted, you bought a timepiece. After making sure you were fully prepared, you entered the Abyss without hesitation.]

[Five days later, you entered the third floor of the Abyss Corridor and were attacked by three mechanical guards. You defeated them using Rock Fury.]

[Three days later, you arrived at the fifth floor of the Abyss Corridor and encountered a mechanical hunter. You defeated it with Rock Fury.]

[Another week passed, and you passed the eighth level of the Abyss Corridor and successfully entered the capital of Kanria...]

[One month after you entered the Abyss Spiral, you finally found a machine that could read the earth veins in a corner of the capital of Kanria. You successfully activated it according to the instructions in the notebook...]

[You succeeded. You successfully read the records about Rosaline.]

... (The following is Rosalin's ending)

Find her...must...find her...

After escaping from Mondstadt, Rosaline headed towards Liyue, but her speed was very slow. After all, she was just a noble lady in Mondstadt. Although she had obtained the Eye of God, she had almost no experience in surviving in the wild and traveling. She didn't even know the most basic skills of how to avoid monsters. In addition, due to the advancement of the Liyue front, many monsters crossed the border into Mondstadt. For an adventure novice like Rosaline to walk alone towards the Stone Forest area with the most monsters, her behavior was tantamount to suicide.

Not surprisingly, Rosaline became the target of the monsters. Although Rosaline had the Fire God's Eye, she did not have much practical experience. Faced with wave after wave of monsters, in order to successfully reach Liyue and find Tsumugi, Rosaline made an almost crazy decision - she decided to burn herself to increase her strength.

Rosaline turned her memory, blood, and soul into firewood and gained immense power, and thus, the blazing Witch of Fire was born.

But the firewood will eventually burn out, and soon after she passed through the stone forest and entered the Liyue region, she finally forgot her purpose.

"I want to... find her, but... who is she? Where should I go?"

In this way, the Fire Witch deviated from her original route and headed towards Wuwangpo and Qingce Village.

In Qingce Village, all the firewood has been burned out, and the Witch of Fire has reached the end of her life. She doesn't know who she is, why she is here, or what has happened.

At this time, a man in strange clothes found her.

"Hello, would you like to join the great Ice Queen and eliminate the greatest pest in this world?"

Although she didn't understand what he meant, her instinct for survival made her nod. Then, the girl Rosalin disappeared and the "lady" appeared.

……

[“Great! Rosaline is not dead!” You were very happy to hear that Rosaline was not dead, and wanted to end it like that, but another idea suddenly came to your mind.]

[Why not... take another look at how the girl is doing. ]

[You do it as soon as you think of it, so you start to check the information about the girl. This time, the scene is what happened after you and Zhongli started the journey and said goodbye to her. ]

... (The following is the girl's ending)

How is she? Is she injured? Is she eating well?

The girl stood on the balcony of Wangshu Inn, staring blankly in the direction she left, thinking about these things in her mind.

Ever since she left, the girl found that she had no motivation to do anything. Whether she was working, eating or sleeping, her figure always appeared in her mind.

No, no! I have to work hard and surprise her when she comes back!

The girl patted her cheeks and sat back at the table to continue processing information from all over the world.

"Huh? This is it?"

When the girl flipped through a piece of information, she unexpectedly found a water god's eye lying quietly on the table...

Time flies, and it has been three years since she left.

After obtaining the Eye of God, the girl's strength increased rapidly in just a few years. It was not because she was a once-in-a-century genius. The rapid growth of the girl's strength was entirely due to Tsumugi's invisible guidance of the girl.

Usually when Tsumugi practiced swordsmanship, the girl would watch her quietly from the side. Over time, the girl memorized her every move.

Usually when Tsumugi tells her adventures, the girl will listen to her with a smile on her face. Over time, the girl has mastered many skills of survival and fighting in the wild.

It was because of her teachings that the girl's strength increased rapidly.

The intelligence organization she established has grown bigger and stronger in the girl's hands. It has now secretly spread to every country except Zhidong. The girl will get news of any disturbance on the continent at the first time.

It is precisely for this reason that the girl's desk is often piled with information about the Bloody Knight. The reputation of the Bloody Knight can spread throughout the entire continent of Teyvat, and the girl has also contributed a lot in secret.

A few years later, the man the girl had been thinking about day and night finally entrusted an adventurer to deliver a letter to the girl.

"If I don't come back within two years, please forget me."

Although there was despair between the lines, the girl always held her chest high and proudly said to others: "With her strength, she will definitely come back safely!"

Only after everyone has fallen asleep will the girl stand on the balcony, look towards the direction of the capital of Kanria, and pray for the knight in her heart.

A year passed... two years passed... the knight in her heart still did not come back. The girl's face turned pale and she was anxious all day long, as if she had thought of a possibility.

Then, three years passed... four years passed...

The girl gradually accepted the reality. The blood-stained knight was finally buried in the capital of the ancient country where there was no sunlight all day long.

After realizing that the knight in her heart would never come back, the girl began to train an heir for herself. Next, she planned to hand over the intelligence organization to the heir and then follow the knight in her heart away.

But at this moment, the girl received a very important piece of information.

"The news came from the Fatui executive 'Madam'. After multiple investigations, it was confirmed that the 'Madam's' true identity is a Mondstadt, and her original name is Rosalin Kruschika Lowfat..."

When the girl saw the name, her expression suddenly became very... strange.

Because the girl was too familiar with this name, because she had often mentioned this name in front of the girl before, and even erected a tombstone specifically for the owner of this name...

"Never mind. I'll leave the intelligence organization to you." The girl patted her heir's shoulder.

"Prepare a fake identity for me now. I want to infiltrate the Fatui executive officers and confirm the identity of the 'lady'."

Although the subordinates around her tried to stop the girl, she had made up her mind. In the end, she went against the crowd and came to the Kingdom of Winter alone.
