Seeker of Teyvat

That time-loving one who reached the limit of human life and survived the war between demons is actually reaching the limit of his life?

"How could this happen?!"

Zhongli shook his head slowly: "There is nothing to be surprised about. Everyone will die eventually. He was lucky enough to have escaped for a thousand years with the help of a little favor from Time. Now that the favor of Time is about to run out, it is time for him to die."

Listening to Zhongli's words, Wang Daoyi felt heavy in his heart. Death is always a hurdle that life cannot avoid.

Although he is now an immortal, once he takes the last step, his life span will theoretically be infinite.

But... can my willpower sustain through those endless years?

Wang Daoyi questioned himself in his heart, but he had no idea of ​​the answer.

He raised his head and looked at the Rock God in front of him.

Will one of the most powerful demons in the world, with a will as strong as a rock, be able to withstand the erosion of endless years?

"Haha, don't think too much. Focus on the present. That's what you need to do."

When Zhongli saw Wang Daoyi’s serious expression, he knew that the little guy was thinking and chuckled.

Zhongli's chuckle awakened Wang Daoyi, who was still obsessed with trivial matters.

Yes, I am still so young. Considering the life span of a god, I guess I haven’t even gone through my childhood. Why should I worry about it?

After thinking about it, Wang Daoyi smiled at Zhongli and said, "I have been advised by you again. I owe you more and more."

"...There's no need to be so polite." Zhongli remained calm.

The two chatted for a while, mostly about family matters and interesting things happening in the city.

As the sun sets, Wang Daoyi bids farewell to Zhongli.

Back to Wanmin Hall,

But he found that Ying, Paimon, Kuki Shinobu and Ichito were all in the store.

"Hey, Daoyi, you're back."

Paimeng had sharp eyes and saw Wang Daoyi walking outside the door at a glance.

"Well, of course. Didn't I ask Ying to tell me that I have to go home for dinner tonight?"

Wang Daoyi smiled at Paimeng, then looked at everyone: "Good evening, everyone."

"Okay~" Everyone responded, ignoring Wang Daoyi and gathered together, seemingly playing some card game.

Wang Dao took a glance and it seemed to be... the Seven Saints summoning.

He had heard of this card before, in a tavern in Xumi, but he didn't expect that it was available in Liyue now.

However, Wang Daoyi had no interest in the card game. Seeing Yidou's excitement, he did not continue to watch, but turned around and went to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Xiangling was busy and Guoba was...eating secretly.

"I'm back." Wang Daoyi shouted to Xiangling.

Hearing the familiar voice, Xiangling turned around and looked at Wang Daoyi happily: "You're back. Go wash your hands. We can eat soon."

Wang Dao nodded slightly, went to the backyard and washed up.

When he came out again, the card game was over and the table was full of delicious food.

Go to the table and sit down.

Paimon and Ichito were bickering, seemingly discussing the situation of the previous game.

Ying and Jiuqi Shinobu were chatting, and they seemed to be talking about Inazuma.

Xiangling, on the other hand, looked at Wang Dao tenderly, completely ignoring Guoba's expression as he wanted to eat the vegetables.

The host and guests were all happy and the banquet ended.

the next day,

After patting Xiangling, who was still covering her eyes, Wang Dao got up and went out.

Enjoying the morning sunshine and fresh air,

The depression in my heart dissipated a little.

He wants to see the old dean.

I want to thank him for his help, and I also want to... see what his master left behind.

Arriving at Tongwen Academy with ease,

Following the route he took last time, Wang Daoyi arrived at the gate of the old dean's courtyard.

He reached out and knocked on the gate.

"Come in, the door is not locked." Soon, an old voice came from inside. It was the old dean himself.

I pushed the door open and walked in.

The old dean was still lying on the recliner, rocking gently,

In appearance, he still looks old.

Perhaps this is his final appearance. Even the passage of time cannot make him older.

"It's you? How come you have time to come and see an old man like me?"

The old dean raised his heavy eyelids and took a look. When he found that it was Wang Daoyi, a smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

"I came back from Xumi and heard that... you were not feeling well, so I came to see you."

Wang Daoyi said.

"Feeling unwell? Hahaha, you really know how to talk." The old dean laughed a few times, then regained his composure, "The Emperor asked you to come, didn't he? Feeling unwell... You can actually say that."

Saying that a person at the extreme end of the human spectrum is unwell does sound a bit like a joke.

Even though the old dean looks like he is about to die, he is indeed about to die. If he explodes, there may not be many people in Liyue Harbor who can stop him.

He is just dying, he is still in good health.

"Well, the Emperor told me that you are almost at the end."

He walked to the old dean and waved his hand. A rock platform rose up. Wang Daoyi sat down and looked at the other person quietly.

"Yes, everyone will die eventually. Time will not hold anyone back. I am already very satisfied that I have lived for so long thanks to His grace."

The old dean looked at Wang Daoyi and said softly,

There is no regret in the words.

In other words, his regrets would not bear any fruit even if he continued to live.

Chapter 403: Holy Relics [Life] and [Death]

The two of them just sat like this, basking in the sun for a while.

a long time,

Only then did the old dean speak again: "Are young people today already so patient? If I don't ask, why don't you take the initiative to ask?"

A smile appeared on Wang Daoyi's face: "Since the emperor asked me to come to you, it must be that you have something to tell me. For existences like you and the emperor who have lived for thousands of years, although I pride myself on being smart, I don't think so. I can outplay you."

That's right, when Wang Daoyi heard that Zhongli asked him to come over and see the old dean, he knew that the other party must have something to do with him.

Otherwise, why would Zhongli talk to Wang Daoyi about the old dean for no reason?

Just because the old dean is dying?

It's ridiculous. Zhongli has experienced the death of many important people in his life. The old dean may be very important, but to Zhongli, it is just that.

It must be because the old dean had mastered something and was only prepared to tell Wang Daoyi that Wang Daoyi was allowed to see the old dean.

"If I were half as sensitive as you, maybe everything would be different."

Looking at Wang Daoyi, the old dean shook his head slightly.

Then he continued, "I am going to die, and there are some things that need to be inherited by someone, so I chose you."

Wang Daoyi's face was calm, without the slightest surprise or surprise.

Now he is the Lord of Red Sand, and even more so the Lord of Mysteries of Inheritance.

It's not like I'm surprised by the inheritance of a person who is the ultimate human being.

"Why me? There are many good young men in Liyue. Among others, Xingqiu, Chongyun, and even Hutao, they are all very good young people."

Hearing Wang Daoyi's question, the old dean shook his head slightly: "It's different. Just like me when I was young, they all 'succumbed' to fate, and my secret is not allowed to be known by fate."

"? What do you mean by 'destiny'?" Wang Daoyi grasped the key point.

"The Eye of God." The old dean said a term, and then continued, "As a former member of the Rock, you may know something. The Eye of God is not a gift, it comes with a price."

"When a person's desire reaches a certain level, the gods will cast their sight. This is the origin of the Eye of God known to the public."

"But in fact, you should also understand that although the Seven Gods can affect the distribution of some God's Eyes in their own domain, in essence, this power comes from Sky Island."

"The sight behind the Eye of God is not the Seven Gods, but the [gods] on Sky Island."

"So, I don't want my secret to be caught by Sky Island's sight."

After listening to the old dean explain his reasons,

Wang Daoyi frowned, a little confused. He reached out and picked up a gem-like Eye of God from his waist, which was his own Eye of the Rock God.

"But, old dean, I am also a person with the eyes of God."

Wang Daoyi not only has the Eye of God, he is also the best holder of the Eye of God. Before he obtained the power left by the Red King, most of his combat power came from the gift of the Eye of God.

The old dean raised his eyelids and glanced at the Eye of God in Wang Daoyi's hand, and then slowly shook his head: "You are different."

"What's different about me?"

"After you accept my gift and light up your own destiny star, the Eye of God will no longer be a constraint on you. Moreover, when you take that step, you will see what is behind the Eye of God."

"At that time, you can decide for yourself whether you still want to hold this Eye of God."

The old dean's voice was slow and powerful. He looked at the Eye of the Rock God in Wang Daoyi's hand, with some memories in his eyes.

Wang Daoyi became even more confused. He always felt that the old dean also had the potential of the Riddler.

No, according to his age, this old dean may be the ancestor of the Riddler.

With a trace of doubt, Wang Dao opened his mouth and said: "You mean, there is a huge conspiracy behind the Eye of God?"

"No, it's not a conspiracy, kid. Conspiracy is a bad word, and the Eye of God does not exist for bad things. Therefore, there is a deeper story behind it, but it is not a conspiracy."

"Okay, I understand." Wang Dao nodded. Since it is not for bad things, it is for some necessary things, even if it may go against the wishes of the holder of the Eye of God.

"Ha, you can see these things yourself when you get to that position. Now let's continue talking about whether you want to take over my secret."

The old dean waved his hand slightly, stopped talking about the Eye of God, and turned his target back to his secret.

With some piety, Wang Daoyi nodded very naturally: "Of course, my divine way has destined me to be incapable of resisting unknown secrets, especially the secrets of an ancient person like you."

Upon hearing Wang Daoyi's answer, a smile appeared on the old dean's old wrinkled face.

One hand was slightly raised, and a wind barrier appeared, covering the small courtyard.

Wang Daoyi casually looked at the barrier.

I recognized the many runes on it, most of which were runes for protection, isolation, hiding, and secrecy.

"I'm used to being vigilant, but it makes you laugh."

"No, in the face of knowledge that may bring danger, no matter how vigilant you are, you should do it."

Wang Daoyi didn't mind the old dean's vigilance, or in other words, if he was the one to spread the secret knowledge he knew to others, he might add a few more layers of protection.

"That's good. If you have this idea, it means you are really suitable to be [His] custodian." Looking at Wang Daoyi, the old dean became more and more satisfied.

Wang Daoyi realized that what the old dean was about to tell him was unusual, he straightened his face and said seriously: "Please speak frankly, old dean."

The old man looked at Wang Daoyi's serious face, then stretched out his hand and grabbed it towards his chest.

"Morax always thought that I could live for so long because of the blessing of [Time], but in fact, even [Time] itself is no longer active in the world. How could the trace of favor left by him allow me to survive?" A strong man can survive for a thousand years."

The old dean's right hand glowed slightly, and half of his palm was already buried in his chest.
