[Finally, in the sight of you and Alice, the meteor fell on the outskirts of Winterfell, leaving a crater without hurting anyone.]
[So you no longer take the meteor seriously. Just as you are thinking about how to invite Alice to continue the "battle" that just ended, you find Alice looking at the direction where the meteor fell with a frown on her face.]
[“Tsumugi, come with me!” Alice pulled you, quickly put on her clothes, and ran towards the place where the meteor fell. ]
[“What? Isn’t this just an ordinary stream…eh?”]
[When you get closer, you also find that the crater does not contain the meteorite you imagined, but a man with blond hair and dressed in strange clothes.]
[“Sora?!” The memory from a hundred years ago was awakened, and you called out the other person’s name in surprise. ]
[“He is a friend of the captain of the guards of the Kingdom of Kanria, a traveler from another world. We met each other a hundred years ago.” Seeing Alice’s puzzled look, you took the initiative to explain.]
[“Let’s get him out of the crater first.” Alice said. Since Sora was unconscious, the two of you had to go into the crater and carry him out. However, when you came back up, you found that the three of you were surrounded by a group of Fatui…]
Chapter 179 Meeting an acquaintance
[Just when you and Alice were considering whether to escape, a figure slowly walked out from the Fatui and made you give up the idea of leaving.]
[“Dyneblaz? You’re not dead yet!” Seeing that familiar figure, you subconsciously greeted him, but what you said made Dyneblaz’s smile freeze on his face.]
[“Ahem, Tsumugi, long time no see.” Dainbraith waved his hand, and the Fatui around him retreated and lined up neatly behind him.]
[“Let’s find a place to reminisce about the past.”]
[Dainbraith saw Sora being carried on your back, and a flash of doubt flashed across his eyes. He immediately led the team to bring you to the military camp in Winterfell, and here, you met another old friend.]
【"Piero...are you still alive too?"】
[“I should be the one saying this.” Piero was surprised to see you.]
[After placing Sora on the bed in the room, you, Dyneblaz, and Piero gathered around a table to reminisce about the past, while Alice was taking care of Sora in another room. She said she had a way to make Sora wake up as soon as possible.]
[“So… how did you two survive until now?” As Dainbraith handed you tea, you started chatting with the two of them.]
[“I am still alive today entirely thanks to the curse bestowed by heaven.” Dainbraith spoke first. “Although my body has been in severe pain, it seems that this curse can increase my lifespan.”]
[“I am able to live until now because I have become a follower of the Ice Queen, so I can naturally break through the limits of living things.” Piero said seriously.]
[“It’s because I took the elixir of life.” You clearly noticed that after you said this, not only the serious Piero, but even Dainbraith frowned in dissatisfaction.]
[“Do you think we are still three-year-old children, still believing in things like elixirs of immortality?”]
[“Don’t you know that I’m an alchemist? It’s not impossible for me to make an elixir of life or something like that.” You rolled your eyes at Dainbraith, thinking that he was looking down on your alchemy skills.]
[“So, you two have been working for the Ice Queen in Solstice all these years?”]
[Dainbraith and Piero nodded together and told you what they had been doing for the past hundred years. Piero spent most of his time looking for someone who could serve as an executive officer of the Fatui in the other six nations, while Dainbraith was in charge of public security in Solstice.]
[At present, the military strength of the Winter Kingdom is the strongest among the seven countries, but this is only the conventional military strength. Facing a powerful enemy like Tianli, conventional military strength is simply meaningless. Piero must know this, but when he introduced the development of Winter Kingdom to you over the years, he had a sense of pride. You guessed that he must be carrying out some plan in secret.]
[“I’ve been staying in Mondstadt all these years…” Just as you were about to tell your story, the door of the room opened, and Sora rubbed his head and followed Alice out of the room.]
[“Sora, long time no see.” You greeted Sora. ]
[“Tsumugi-sama? And Dyneblace?!” Sora’s mind was a little confused when he just woke up, but he immediately became alert after seeing Dyneblace.]
[“Long time no see, Sora.” Seeing his old friend, Dainbraith seemed very excited.]
[“Ahem, let’s talk about the past later. Sora, why don’t you tell me why you turned into a meteor and fell from the sky?”]
[Now that Kong has woken up, you can start talking about business. ]
[“Sorry, I accidentally made too much noise.” Sora scratched his head and apologized after hearing that he turned into a meteor and fell from the sky in winter, and then began to explain what he knew. ]
[This story begins a hundred years ago when Sora and Ying were preparing to leave Teyvat. Just as they were about to leave this world, they were suddenly attacked by a woman who claimed to be the Sustainer of Heavenly Justice.]
[Sora and Ying were no match for each other and were eventually sealed together. It was not until recently that Sora broke the seal and escaped. Fearing that the Heavenly Justice Maintainer would come after him, he used all his remaining strength to quickly leave the scene, and then lost consciousness.]
[“I see, that’s why you turned into a shooting star…” You nodded. Although what Sora said just now was very little, it brought up an important person: the Sustainer of Heavenly Justice.]
[After Sora finished describing the appearance of the Heavenly Justice Maintainer, Dainbreth added: "I saw that woman when the Kingdom of Kanreya was destroyed. It was she who brought down the curse on all Kanreya people."]
[“So, the ‘heavenly principle’ that you, Piero, are talking about actually refers to the ‘maintainer of heavenly principle’, not the real heavenly principle?”]
[This is really interesting... You narrow your eyes and start to think seriously.]
[Although the purpose of the Heavenly Justice Maintainer is unknown, a lot of information can be inferred from her few actions. ]
[1. She forbids others from leaving this world, which means that people from other worlds are only allowed to enter Teyvat but not leave.]
[You subconsciously glanced at Alice. This could explain why Alice had stayed in Teyvat for more than a hundred years. It wasn't because she didn't want to leave, but because she couldn't.]
[2. She seems to want to maintain the stability of the "Seven Earthly Rulings" system.]
[The Kingdom of Kanreya has existed for thousands of years, and has used earth vein energy for hundreds of years. However, the Heavenly Justice Maintainer ordered the Seven Gods to destroy Kanreya when Kanreya was about to create a mechanical demon god. This was because she knew that once Kanreya proved that humans could protect themselves without relying on demon gods, it would inevitably lead to the imitation of people in other countries, and eventually lead to the collapse of the "Seven Worldly Governments" system.]
This time, my own speculation about the laws of nature is completely different from my previous speculations...
In reality, Tsumugi Kujo looked at the information on the system with some distress. She had not forgotten that during the second simulation, she had obtained the "Golden" notebook, and the content recorded on it was completely different...
"Albedo...did you write those things in your notes without any verification?" Kujo Tsumugi couldn't help but complain.
It’s a pity that Kujo Tsumugi had thought that the contents of the "Golden" notes were very credible... If you think about it carefully, you should know that after the destruction of Kanreya, his apprentice Albedo had been busy seeking revenge on the Seven Gods. How could he have had the time to seriously study this history?
In other words, most of the content in that notebook might be Albedo's own random thoughts?
It's like treating "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as official history, which is a stupid act...
Fortunately, no serious consequences occurred this time.
Kujo Tsumugi thought with some luck that this simulation had sounded a wake-up call for her. The information obtained from the simulation was not 100% accurate and she needed to discern it herself.
[“So, Sora, what are you going to do next?” Although you have two clues, you still can’t infer what the Heavenly Law is just based on these two clues. After thinking about it fruitlessly, you put it aside and continue to ask Sora about his next plan.]
[“What’s next…” Sora hesitated for a moment, then clenched his fists, his face suddenly becoming gloomy, “I’m going to kill the Upholder of Justice! First, to avenge the innocent people of Kanria, and second, only when the Upholder of Justice dies can my sister and I leave the continent of Teyvat. To do this, I must be the enemy of Justice.”]
[“So, Sora, do you want to join the Fatui?” At this time, Piero threw an olive branch to Sora at the right time, “I persuaded the Ice Queen to form the Fatui to fight against the Law of Heaven.”]
[“No thanks.” To everyone’s surprise, Sora rejected Piero’s offer, “My target of revenge is not only Heavenly Justice, but also the Seven Gods. They must also pay for what they have done!”]
[There is one thing that Kong did not mention, which is that he believes that the Ice God's behavior of rebelling against the laws of nature is doomed to fail. ]
[It is as ridiculous for the Ice God to fight against the law of nature as it is for a civil servant to fight against the system. 】
[Then, Sora's eyes moved to you. ]
[“Master Tsumugi, please help me!”]
[“Huh?!”]
[You were completely confused by Kong's sudden behavior. You were just here to watch the show, how could it have anything to do with you? ]
[“Wait, why me?” You couldn’t help but ask. ]
[“Although I have traveled to the continent of Teyvat before, my knowledge of this continent is still very limited. If you want to be an enemy of heaven, you must have the profound knowledge of Master Tsumugi.”]
[“This…” You didn’t expect that you held such a high position in Sora’s heart. Hearing Sora’s words, you felt happy, but facing Sora’s request, you were at a loss.]
[Although you feel that your current life is a bit dull, but going against the laws of nature is too exciting, and your little heart can't bear it. ]
[But it was not easy to refuse Sora's request. After all, Sora had just rejected Piero's offer. If I rejected Sora right away, it would make him feel embarrassed...]
[“I don’t intend to be an enemy of a powerful opponent like Tianli… How about this, I can give you a little help in your early stages of development, and don’t come to me after you have established an organization to resist Tianli.” You flicked your hair and chose a compromise. ]
【“Thank you very much.” Sora obviously knew that this was the best guarantee you could make, so he thanked him immediately. 】
[“Okay, let’s discuss the plan right away… and Alice, come here for a moment.” After saying that, you took Sora and Alice out of Piero’s house.]
[“Alice, Sora’s blood is very strange. I think we can study it together.” You whispered to Alice on the way back to the hotel.]
[Hearing this, Alice raised her eyebrows in confusion: "What's so strange about this?"]
[“I’ll tell you later.”]
[You haven't forgotten that Ying's blood has the power to restrain the earth veins. Although you studied it for a long time without any results, the times are different now. Moreover, you have Alice by your side. The two of you can almost be said to be the two strongest alchemists on this continent. You don't believe that you can't find anything by combining your strength.]
[You brought Kong to the hotel and made a specific agreement with him. Kong had to fully cooperate with you and Alice's research. In return, you and Alice would help Kong establish an organization to fight against Tianli. Kong agreed immediately.]
[And just like that, your and Sora's mutual aid group was born. ]
[As soon as she saw the mysterious energy in Sora's body that could restrain the energy of the earth veins, Alice immediately turned into a research maniac and ignored everything. As a result, you have to be Alice's assistant and help her with research. ]
[In your spare time, you told Kong about the most secret research of the Kingdom of Kanria - the plan to create the Mechanical Demon God. He immediately became interested, especially after hearing that the semi-finished Mechanical Demon God could kill the Thunder God and seriously injure the Grass God when attacked. Kong immediately decided that his future goal was to create a complete Mechanical Demon God and take revenge on the Seven Gods.]
[125 years old: The mysterious energy in Kong's body is indeed very difficult to study. Even if you and Alice joined forces, you have only determined some of the characteristics of that energy after a year.]
[Sora tried to form a team led by himself like Piero did, but failed because the existence of the law of nature cannot be told to ordinary people, so the people he recruited were a bunch of rubbish who only wanted to get big money and had no lofty ideals at all. You rejected them all.]
[Looking at Sora who was disappointed because of losing his subordinates, you suddenly had a bold idea. ]
[When the earth vein energy in the human body accumulates to a certain level, it will turn into a hillman. The blood of Kong and Ying has the effect of restraining the earth vein energy. So what will happen if Kong's blood is used to purify the hillman? ]
[After talking to Alice, she thought this was a good idea, so the three of you moved out of Winterfell and captured some Hillocks for research.]
[After a lot of experiments, you and Alice finally developed a new technology, that is, the "reverse earth vein" technology, which transforms the blood of the sky to a certain extent, and then allows the hillocks to absorb it. Although the hillocks will eventually die of weakness due to too little earth vein energy in their bodies, after death, their dark skin will slightly change to the skin color of normal human bodies.]
[You and Alice agree that it is because of Sora's blood that the Hillichurls have changed a little towards humans. Although it is only a small and insignificant phenomenon, it encourages the two of you to continue researching in this area.]
Chapter 180 The Establishment of the Abyss Cult
[126 years old: While you, Alice, and Sora were conducting your own research, Dynebreth came to you.]
[“Tsumugi, and Ms. Alice, I have something to tell you.” Dainbrese said mysteriously.]
[“Sora told me before that he wanted to restart the Mechanical Demon God Project of the Kingdom of Kanria.”]
【“That’s it, what’s wrong?” you asked curiously. 】
[“Tsumugi, Ms. Alice, please help me stop Sora’s revenge.”]
[Hearing Dainsleib's request, you subconsciously frowned, but still asked: "Can I ask the reason?"]
[“Why… If we want to restart the Mechanical Demon God Project, we must use the power of the Abyss… I think such an evil force should not appear in the world again.”]
[The Abyss is another name for "ground energy". The Kingdom of Kanreya has experienced many ground energy leaks, so the people of Kanreya know that ground energy can turn people into monsters. They believe that such an ominous thing should have a terrifying name, so they named it "the Abyss".]
[Of course, the reason for this is actually because the Kanrui people do not have a sufficient understanding of the earth vein energy. If they knew that a small amount of earth vein energy can make people stronger, I am afraid that "Abyss" will become a popular commodity, and it will naturally have a better name at that time. ]
[You have always been accustomed to using the neutral term "earth energy" to refer to the "abyss" in order to prevent yourself from preconceivedly labeling a dualistic energy with a subjective label such as "evil". This subjective view is not a good thing for a researcher.]
[Sure enough, even Alice frowned after hearing what Deinsreb said. Deinsreb's behavior just now was like telling the employees of an oil company that oil pollutes the environment and we should give it up. It was stupid and ignorant.]
[Earth vein energy exists in every corner of Teyvat. It is an inexhaustible and convenient energy source that can be used at any time. However, Dainbraith labeled it "evil" because of his own subjective assumptions, and he actually hopes that humans can give it up?! ]
[This is completely unreasonable in the eyes of you alchemists. Although the leakage of earth vein energy will indeed cause disasters in local areas, compared with the benefits it brings, this disaster is almost negligible. ]
The properties of the earth vein energy are somewhat similar to nuclear power plants in the previous life, except that it is more convenient than nuclear power plants and has more serious side effects.
[“Ahem, Sora is doing this to avenge the Kanreyan people…” After hearing the reason why Deinsreb wanted to stop Sora, you knew that he came here just to cause trouble, but you also knew that if you didn’t let Deinsreb dispel his idea, you wouldn’t be able to do research in peace in the future, so you could only patiently dissuade him.]
[You gave Alice a look, and she returned to her room, making an excuse that she was going to rest.]
[“But using the power of the abyss is definitely a mistake!” Dainbraith said excitedly, “In the past hundred years, I have endured pain all the time. No one understands the abyss better than me!”]
【Do you want to see who you are talking to? 】
[You maintain a polite smile, and in your heart you almost greet the ancestors of Dynebreth.]
[Ever since the accidental leakage of earth vein energy during the Mechanical Demon God manufacturing plan a hundred years ago, your body has been storing earth vein energy. However, unlike Dynebreth, you do not feel any pain in your body.]
[It all comes down to the question of how much earth vein energy there is in the body. If we use the game's terminology to explain, the earth vein energy that can be accumulated in the body of an average person should be 100 points, but now the earth vein energy in Dainbreth's body has exceeded this threshold.]
[If it weren't for the Intivat flower containing fluorescent blood that he always carried with him and the method he learned from you to control the energy of the earth veins in his body, Dainbraith would have become a hillbarrow man long ago. In comparison, the side effect of severe pain is not worth mentioning at all.]
[However, since Dainbraith has said this, you probably understand his mental state now. To put it bluntly, his brain has been tortured by the earth vein energy and has become abnormal. Because of the long-term torture by the earth vein energy, Dainbraith has a morbid hatred for the earth vein energy and wants to stop Kong from using the earth vein energy to help the Kanreya people take revenge.]
[A normal person would realize the error of his or her thinking if he or she sat down and talked with others, even if he or she had such an idea. However, Dynebres, who had been tortured by the earth vein energy for a long time, was obviously no longer a normal person. You persuaded him for several hours, and your lips were almost worn out with sparks, but Dynebres still held on to his own theory and refused to let go.]
[A few hours later, Deinbreth left your residence. It wasn't that he gave up, but he realized that you didn't want to help him, so he decided to stop Sora himself.]
[“What a hassle…” You sighed, not taking it to heart, and continued to study Sora’s blood. But a few days later, Piero came to visit again.]
["Dainbraith is gone." Piero opened his mouth and said a heavyweight news. ]
[Upon hearing this news, you immediately became extremely shocked and didn't even notice that the test tube in your hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces.]
[“Really…?” You were stunned for several minutes before digesting this information, and subconsciously pursed your lips, “I hope he can reunite with his friends in that lush land and reminisce about their old friendship.”]
