Seeker of Teyvat

"However, everything that Gabriel holds has been handed over to me, and his enemies have long been eliminated by Chisha. So who will deal with him?"

"Could this father and daughter have an intersection with Ying, which caused the [Authority of Time] to change?"

While Wang Daoyi was thinking, [The Authority of Time] shook slightly again, and the images in Wang Daoyi's perception began to flow again.

The pictures disappear like flowing light, unable to be sensed or captured.

Until another picture slowly came into Wang Daoyi's sight.

In the picture, Zed's eyes are full of ferocity and violence. Beside her, the ground is full of debris, which shows the girl's powerful fighting ability. Similarly, in the distance of the picture, there is an approaching figure, it is Ying.

Before Wang Daoyi could continue to observe, the picture began to flow again.

Time is like an express train, moving forward all the way. After a long time, another picture appeared in front of Wang Daoyi.

This time, many blurry-looking people appeared around the girl named Zeed. It could be vaguely seen that they were the Gilded Brigade. They surrounded the girl and seemed to be singing in celebration for her.

The strange thing is that Ying is not in this picture.

"Hmm? There's no Ying this time... So, Ying isn't the necessary factor for [Power of Time] to show the picture?"

Overturning his previous judgment, Wang Daoyi waited for the flowing light-like picture to continue to rotate.

Unfortunately, this time he waited for a long time, only to find that the [Authority of Time] was no longer rotating, but was just quietly suspended in the sands of time, as if everything that happened before was not done by Him.

After staring at [The Authority of Time] for a while, Wang Daoyi withdrew his gaze.

In reality, I opened my eyes and looked at the empty temple with a blank look.

Wang Daoyi was still constantly deducing the triggering conditions of [Authority of Time] in his mind.

"First of all, there are scenes without Ying in the past, which means that contact with Ying in the future is not a necessary condition, but secondary."

"Secondly, Gabriel and his daughter have not had any contact with Ying yet, so it is not a necessary condition now or in the past."

"However, in my plan, after Future Ying arrives at Xumi, I will send Sid to contact her, but the [Authority of Time] has no reaction to Sid."

"So... the condition for triggering the [Power of Time] should be someone who will encounter and entangle with Ying in the [original plot]."

"And now, because of my intervention, everything that was supposed to happen in the original plot has already happened, and everything that didn't happen has already been modified by me into a mess."

"Whatever the original plot of Xumi was, it was probably about Ying going to Xumi to rescue Nashida. Unfortunately, with my intervention, Nashida was already free, and the desert area was unified by me."

"So in this case, the predetermined fate can no longer work. Everything has been destroyed by me. If you want fate to continue to run along the predetermined route..."

Thinking of this, Wang Daoyi's eyes flashed with a golden glow: "Then I will take over the role of fate and let Ying meet and entangle with each other in Xumi. The [Authority of Time] is to remind me that those people will meet Ying in their original predetermined fate."

Wang Daoyi continued to deduce in his mind and roughly restored the triggering conditions of [Authority of Time] and the purpose of its triggering.

Maintain the destiny.

Perhaps this is the reason why Istaru gave the [Authority of Time] to Wang Daoyi.

Of course, this is just Wang Daoyi's guess.

To speculate from another perspective, Istaru's purpose may also be to destroy the predetermined destiny.

"So... in the end, it's up to me to decide whether to maintain it or destroy it?"

With a hint of distress, Wang Dao raised his head and looked at the sky through the window high up in the temple.

"Each of you can either see into the future or predict the future, and each of you is willing to make sacrifices for [people]."

"But I'm just a kid who's just starting out. The future is too heavy for me."

"Is it really okay to leave this kind of thing to me?"

Wang Daoyi sighed deeply.

He already understood what Istaru meant.

The other party gave him the choice of the future.

If we maintain the predetermined destiny, the world will continue to operate as it is, and the future of everything will not change much.

If we destroy the predetermined destiny, no one can foresee what the world will become.

"You seem distressed."

Suddenly, a soft female voice appeared in Wang Daoyi's mind.

Chapter 401: The Choice of Fate

The golden light in his eyes suddenly swelled,

The vast divine power filled the temple.

Wang Daoyi’s spiritual thoughts swept across the entire Chisha headquarters.

In the central forest, some sensitive little creatures sensed Wang Daoyi's spiritual thoughts and fell to the ground in fear, trembling.

"It doesn't have to be like this. My body is not in the desert. I am talking to you through the fluctuating fate line."

"Besides, we talked before, have you forgotten?"

The soft female voice sounded in Wang Daoyi's mind again.

The golden color in his eyes converged, the vast divine power dissipated, and Wang Daoyi remembered.

"Witch·N?"

"Yeah, now you remember, it's me."

Wang Daoyi had put down his guard and returned to his normal appearance, leaning on the throne, but he was thinking of God in his heart.

"Witch N, what do you want from me?"

Wang Daoyi asked in his mind, knowing that the other party could hear it.

Sure enough, Witch N's voice soon rang in Wang Daoyi's mind: "I observed the fluctuation of the fate line, and I saw you along the fluctuation of fate. It's amazing. You have moved the fate line twice and the fluctuation this time is particularly huge. What did you do?"

"You should at least pay some price for asking such a private question, right?" Wang Daoyi did not answer the other party directly, but asked a question.

After a while of silence, Witch N's voice appeared again: "It's really not good to pry into other people's secrets at will. However, I really want to know what you have done. Please set your conditions, as long as I can do it." .”

Hearing the voice of Witch N,

Wang Daoyi showed a smile: "In that case, I will answer a question for you, and you will answer a question for me, okay."

"Yes, as long as it doesn't touch the unspeakable secrets and is known to me, I will answer you."

Witch N agreed to Wang Daoyi's request.

"I just made a decision." Wang Daoyi answered Witch N's question, and then asked his own question, "So, how did you observe the timeline?"

Witch N: "Your answer is too general. If it is such an answer, I can only answer you. I cannot observe the timeline. What I observe is the line of fate."

In the first round, both people seemed to have answered seriously, but they also seemed not to have answered.

"...I observed the future and made a decision to change the future, which led to the change in my destiny." Seeing that his statement did not make Witch N give effective information, Wang Dao curled his lips and still gave relatively specific information.

"Have you observed the scene from the future? It's been a long time since I last saw you. There are really more and more secrets in you."

Witch N sighed, and then continued: "I am observing the timeline through the witch's treasure. As for what treasure it is, I'm sorry, this is an unspeakable secret."

Wang Daoyi was silent for a while. This Witch N is really... fair.

If you talk nonsense, she will talk nonsense.

Telling part of the information myself concealed the most important [authority of time]

She also told some information and concealed the most important information about the treasure.

"Oh, my destiny seems to have fluctuated again. I have to go and take a look. Goodbye, Wang Daoyi. I hope we can have a candid chat next time I see you."

Before Wang Daoyi could continue to ask questions, Witch N's voice disappeared.

Sitting on the throne, Wang Daoyi's face looked a little solemn.

"With my strength, even if I am weaker than a god, I am not much weaker. Yet Witch N can easily invade my mind and speak... What kind of existence is the [Witch Society]?"

Wang Daoyi currently knows only three witches.

Keli's mother, Ms. Alice, is a great adventurer. When she traveled to Liyue, she even asked Zhongli to accompany her helplessly. One can imagine her destructive power.

Mona's master, an astrologer who glimpsed the false sky, glimpsed the false sky in a mortal body, and was not punished by [the sky], which shows how clever this astrologer is.

And the third person is the Witch N just now, a being who can spy on destiny,

And many such beings form the Witches' Guild.

In Wang Daoyi's heart, he paid more and more attention to the Witch Association.

It was vaguely beginning to be on the same level as the Seven Gods.

Oh, maybe one level lower than the Seven Gods.

"However, the appearance of Witch N this time did not mean that she did not give me information. Since I just made a decision, she felt the fluctuations in the fate line, which were relatively large fluctuations. That means that my decision is indeed OK. affecting the future.”

"My guess was correct. Istaru has placed the decision of her future in my hands... at least part of the decision-making power has been placed in my hands."

"I must keep this secret deep in my heart. I cannot tell anyone, not even... Zhongli."

The right to choose the future destiny, this kind of thing is more sacred than the authority of the gods.

It was so sacred that Wang Daoyi was not even sure if others would launch a siege against him if they knew about it.

As his thoughts flowed, Wang Daoyi gradually fell into deep thought, and the temple was extremely silent.

……

Liyue·Layered Rock Abyss·Underground

"So, are we trapped here?"

Ying looked at everyone present,

Mandrill, Yelan, Yanfei, Idou, Kuki-nin, oh, and Paimon and Chou.

Everyone was silent, except for Yi Dou, who looked weak. Although he was in a daze, he was still smiling.

Ye Lan nodded slightly: "Although I really don't want to say this, but for now, I am indeed trapped."

Yan Fei was holding a precise disc in her hand and seemed to be observing something.

Hearing the conversation between Ying and Yelan, Yan Fei raised his head: "There is something strange in this underground space. It may be that someone set up some formation during the previous war. Now after evolution, the formation has been integrated into this place. I will Study the Taiwei Dashboard and you may be able to find some clues.”

In his words, he also acknowledged the fact that everyone was trapped.

Mandrill sat on the ground to one side, leaning against the rock wall, frowning slightly.

In the illusion of Taiwei Dashan before, he had confirmed the news about Fushe. As expected, the Yaksha died in the ancient battlefield of Layeryan Juyuan.

This made Mandrill a little disappointed,

However, because of the guidance of Youying and Wang Daoyi, Mandrill did not have any thoughts of sacrificing himself to save others this time.

In other words, he has always had this idea, but it is not yet the time when he thinks he needs to sacrifice himself to save it.

"There's something strange about this space. Even for me, it's hard to travel through space without coordinates. And... I don't have much strength left now. I can't directly break through the blockade of space and go out to seek help."

After entering this space, Mandrill has been blocking everyone, so he consumes the most power.

"So we have to stay here for a while. If nothing else happens, at least until the power of the Great Sage recovers, we will have a chance to leave here." Ye Lan concluded.

"Wow, wow, is there no good news? Paimon doesn't want to stay here anymore." Paimon was flying beside Ying, making a woozy cry.

"Good news? The good news is that our food reserves are not insufficient for the time being. At least we won't be hungry while we are waiting, although... we can't feel hungry here."

Jiuqi Shinobu took out a package, which contained a lot of violets.

Ying shook her head helplessly. When it comes to food reserves, all the people here combined would not have more than her.

Sure enough, the good news from Jiuqi Shinobu did not calm Paimon down. The depressed little guy flew around Ying.

Suddenly, Paimon saw a hint of gold around Ying's waist.

The little guy's eyes lit up, and he pulled Ying frantically: "Ying, Ying, that, we still have that."

Ying looked at Paimeng strangely, then followed Paimeng's fingertips to look at her waist.

She stretched out her hand and a golden elemental gem appeared in her hand.

The others were startled by Paimeng's voice and looked at Ying.
