Seeker of Teyvat

Only the pure power of the world of light can easily dispel these forbidden filth from the abyss.

In the three realms of Teyvat,

The confrontation between the Light Realm and the Void Realm, that is, the confrontation between the Elemental Realm and the Abyss Realm, has existed since the birth of Teyvat. The confrontation between the purple-black pollution and the Lumen Stone can only be regarded as one of its manifestations.

As for the most special human world, which appeared the latest, and the power of the human world, Wang Daoyi has no more clues yet. However, in his guess, the seven rulers of Teyvat who are still alive today may have some connection with the power of the human world.

[The gods gilded the outline of desire with seven kinds of brilliance to show that their authority can be reached! ]

This desire that has been glorified by the gods may have something to do with the power of the human world.

As for how to verify this idea... Wang Daoyi felt that he would naturally understand it after he ascended to the throne of God.

Once again through the narrow passage,

Climb up a relatively high mine tunnel and enter a relatively open cave.

Under Ying's leadership, Wang Daoyi soon saw a small group of Fatui.

"Anton." Ying and Paimon waved to the Fatui over there.

Their voices quickly attracted the Fatui's attention. The Fatui picked up their weapons, looked over here, and found that it was Queen Ying, and quickly lowered their guard.

"It's the Traveler and Paimon, why are you back? Could it be that... the people up there have made peace with Liyue?" The tall Fatui soldier looked at Ying and Paimon, as well as Wang Daoyi who was standing aside, with an expectant, inquiring look.

Not only the Fatui man who was speaking, but the three Fatui soldiers beside him also showed expectant looks.

Unfortunately, Ying shook her head slightly: "No, the Fatui and Liyue are still in a hostile state."

"I see..." The Fatui man showed a bit of disappointment, but soon cheered up again, "So what are you doing here this time? If you want to send supplies, we don't have anything to exchange with you for the time being. You haven't finished the food you gave us last time. If you want to exchange information, we don't have anything more to tell you."

After meeting these Fatui, Ying thought they were not bad people, but poor people who were abandoned, so he left some food for them, and these Fatui also took out some of their savings to exchange with Ying.

"No, we are not here to exchange information this time. I have found a friend who can take you out." Ying explained and stated her purpose.

"Go out? Really?" *4

The Fatui team exclaimed, they knew their own situation very well, if the people above did not negotiate with Liyue, then the only outcome for them would be death here, there was no way they could be rescued.

The people of Liyue will not save them, and on Zhidong's side, their leaders have probably given up on them long ago.

So when they heard Ying say that she had found someone who could rescue them, these fools reacted immediately.

"Well, this is Wang Daoyi. He has a very... high status in Liyue. As long as he opens his mouth, he will definitely rescue you." Ying nodded, then pointed at Wang Daoyi and introduced him to the Fatui team.

If it was one of the Fatui stationed in Liyue, they would probably recognize Wang Daoyi upon seeing him.

And these fools who were abandoned under the huge rock abyss, following Ying's introduction, looked at Wang Daoyi with some doubt in their eyes.

Although Wang Daoyi was a handsome man with a noble temperament, they still did not believe that he could rescue them easily.

"Sorry, it's not that I don't trust your words, but, what's the price? What price do we need to pay?" There was some vigilance in the eyes of the Fatui. Although he knew that he and others were already in a state of waiting to die, he still didn't want to believe that pie would fall from the sky.

When a Liyue person came and said he could save them without any cost, they didn't believe it.

Ying looked at Wang Daoyi and saw that he had no intention of speaking. He organized his words and spoke to the Fatui team: "As long as you are willing to give up your identity as Fatui and no longer serve Zhidong, then you will no longer be considered an enemy of Liyue, and Daoyi can take you out."

"Give up your identity as a Fatui?" The Fatui man was stunned for a moment, then a look of "as expected" appeared on his face.

"I'm very sorry, Traveler. I know you're doing this for our own good, but... we can't agree to this condition." The Fatui man decisively rejected Ying's proposal.

Then he looked at the team members around him and said, "Rejection is my own decision. If any of you are willing to give up your status as Fatui, you can agree to the Traveler, and no one else will know."

What this means is that even if they gave up their identities as the Fatui, only those present here would know about it, and they would not leak the secret, and those who gave up would naturally not be liquidated.

The three team members looked slightly angry. "Anton, what are you talking about? Who do you think we are? There were sixty-four of us in our company, and now there are only four of us left. Even if we all die here, our company will not betray the Queen."

"Although we want to evacuate, if the condition for evacuation is betrayal, then we are allowed to refuse."

"Yes, although I hate those executive officers who abandoned us, it is impossible for me to betray the noble Ice Queen."

The three people's reactions were more dramatic than each other, but they all chose to reject Ying.

Ying looked a little puzzled. She didn't understand. When she met these people before, their biggest wish was to evacuate here.

But why, when she found people and gave them hope, these Fatui chose to reject it?

Ying was a little anxious: "But if you give up this opportunity, you might really die down there."

The Layered Rock Chasm is already recovering. The General Affairs Department and the Thousand Rock Army will clean up here sooner or later.

If these people still stay here, being cleared out will be their only outcome.

If they were ordinary Fatui, Ying wouldn't feel anything at all, and might even help the Qianyan Army to clean them up.

However, these people originally came in to help with the investigation. Friendly forces inexplicably became enemies and then were eliminated. How could Ying accept this?

"Ha, if the price was something else, we would definitely pack up and go with you immediately. However, traveler, everyone has his or her own persistence, and this persistence is more important than life."

"For the most noble dream of the Ice Queen, even if we often walk in the moonless night, often trek in the gilded desert, often feel the biting hostility in the dark, and often dream of our loved ones in the distant hometown, no matter how difficult it is, it can't extinguish the pale fire that always burns in our hearts, nor can it break our faith!"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, traveler."

After the Fatui said this, he looked at his comrades around him.

Raise your right fist and hit your chest.

[We are wounded wolves who have been betrayed by the whole world.

We will eventually build a new world where no one will abandon us.

Dressed in a spotless garment as bright as the day,

We come from the silvery snow country,

Blow the trumpet to announce His Majesty's might. 】

The remaining team members looked sad, but they all stretched out their right hands.

They performed the same chest-pounding ritual and followed the Fatui's slogan:

If you also carry dreams that cannot be accepted and wounds that cannot be erased,

Unwilling to see the day end, angry at false promises,

Just look up at the white phosphorus star, that is the banner we are waiting for;

Then join us and let the thunder of our boots shake the earth.

Anyone who is willing to follow us to the North Star in the White Night, we will never abandon.

May those who follow us into the darkest place create a new world together.

It should be understood that the destruction of everything will be the beginning of a completely new order.

At the end of destruction will come the dawn of purity. 】

……

[After shouting out high-pitched slogans, these fools seemed to have the intention to die. They stopped communicating with the crowd and ignored Ying's persuasion.]

"Why? I don't understand. They can be saved by just saying give up. Why do they choose death?"

After leaving some food for the Fatui, Ying silently left the mine where the Fatui lived.

After walking a distance, Ying spoke with some sadness, and then she looked at Wang Daoyi: "Daoyi... Actually, you knew from the beginning that they would refuse, right?"

Wang Daoyi nodded naturally: "Yes, I knew from the beginning that although most of the Fatui are not good people, if we talk about their belief in the Ice Queen, I think it is worth affirming."

"Giving up their status as Fatui is equivalent to betraying the Ice Queen. Even if it means death, it is difficult for them to make a choice."

Ying looked a little uncomfortable: "Is faith more important than life?"

In Ying's opinion, giving up the chance to live for an illusory belief is... a pity no matter how you look at it.

Life should be above everything else, not used as the price of faith.

"Oh... I can't answer this question for you either. Faith and life are not things with concrete value."

"If my followers encountered this kind of thing, I would advise them to give up their faith and choose to live, but they may not listen to my advice. They may even choose to commit suicide after hearing my advice."

“Faith is never good or bad, there is only firmness and uncertainty.”

"It's obvious that the Fatui of the Ninth Company have a firm belief in the Ice Queen."

"Just a life is not enough to make them give up their faith in the Ice Queen."

Wang Daoyi said calmly,

He had no feelings or disdain for the choice of the Ninth Company of Fatui.

That's all. He believed that many of his fellow Sand People would make the same choice.

Faith is something that can never be described as right or wrong, nor can it be measured by any other standards.

"Hmm? Your believers?" Ying suddenly caught a word, "Also, how do you know they are from the Ninth Company? I don't think I told you that?"

Chapter 373 Our story has not yet begun

Ying captured some information from Wang Daoyi's words, and a trace of doubt and questioning appeared on his delicate face.

"And Anton and the others didn't say anything about the Ninth Company in the mine before!"

"Dao Yi, how much do you know?"

"What are you and them hiding from me?"

Maybe it was because Anton and others chose to die before, which had such a huge impact on Ying.

So after discovering that Wang Daoyi had the tendency to be a Riddler again, Ying was so excited that he asked a lot of questions one after another.

But after the question was asked, Ying felt a little regretful. She felt that her tone just now was a little wrong, as if she was torturing a prisoner instead of asking a friend: "Sorry, I'm a little excited."

Seeing the slight disappointment in Ying's eyes and the apology on her face,

"It's okay." Wang Daoyi shook his head slowly, not caring about Ying's out-of-control emotions, and said, "If you want to know, I can tell you part of it."

His bright eyes lit up, and he looked at Wang Daoyi, with the words "hurry up" written on his face.

Wang Dao didn't talk nonsense and started to answer Ying's previous questions:

"First of all, 'my believers', as you can imagine, I have already embarked on the path of God. It is normal for some believers."

"The second is the 'Ninth Company'. I have reviewed the files of the Strata Abyss. Naturally, I know that the Fools came here to help with the investigation. The Ninth Company is the Fools responsible for investigating the dark army."

"Finally, how many things have 'we' hidden from you... Haha, I can only say, it's a lot."

"But at the same time, we also have many doubts about your existence."

Wang Daoyi said in a calm and emotionless voice as much as possible.

Ying, on the other hand, also tried his best to accept this information with impersonal thinking.

There was too much information contained in these short words. For a moment, Ying frowned, unable to understand the words.

What does it mean to hide a lot, and what does it mean to have doubts?

Before Ying could continue to think and understand the information just now,

Wang Daoyi continued: "Do you remember the question you once asked me?"

"The question I asked you?" Ying was stunned for a moment, then quickly flipped through the memories in her mind, and quickly found the corresponding information, "You mean, I asked you whether you have known me for a long time?"

Wang Dao nodded,

At that time in Inazuma, Ying completed Wang Daoyi's commission, and Wang Daoyi promised to pay Ying. In the end, Ying chose a question as reward.

[Dao Yi, actually, you knew about my existence before we met outside Qingquan Town, right? 】

This was the question Ying asked at that time,

At that time, Wang Daoyi was not prepared. Although the answer he gave was affirmative, he did not give a more specific answer after the affirmative answer.

There were some memories in Wang Daoyi's eyes, and he didn't know what scene he was recalling: "You asked me if I knew about your existence before we met, and I gave you an affirmative answer."

Ying nodded and recalled the scene at that time: "Well, I remember, you said that was not Zhongli's guidance."

"Yes, that was not the emperor's guidance, but I knew your existence from the beginning." Wang Daoyi suddenly stopped and turned to look at Ying, "The man who crossed the sea of ​​stars, the son of man, the blood relative of the prince of the abyss, Ying, I’ve known of your existence from the beginning.”

Ying also stopped and looked at Wang Daoyi with a very subtle look. She had a hunch that what Wang Daoyi said to her next might be something very, very important.

On the other side, Paimon was floating in the air, looking at the two people looking at each other. He didn't know what was going on, but he held his breath and didn't dare to disturb them in any way.

Next to Wang Daoyi, Nasida, who had hidden her figure, also looked at Wang Daoyi with curious eyes, wondering what secrets Wang Daoyi would reveal.
