Seeker of Teyvat

If the soul of the deceased does not enter the narrow gap between life and death, it is easy for problems to arise and eventually degenerate into an evil spirit.

The Hall of Rebirth maintains the boundary between life and death, not only to protect the living, but also to protect the pure souls.

The two walked deeper into the cave while talking.

Soon, Hu Tao brought Wang Daoyi to a place similar to a high platform.

It is called a platform, but when Wang Daoyi looked at the countless runes engraved on the platform, he thought that this place should perhaps be called an "altar."

On the altar, an old man stood alone in the middle, his eyes seemed a little nostalgic, yet seemed to have let it go.

Perhaps the arrival of Wang Daoyi and Hu Tao interrupted the old man's thoughts.

The originally complicated expression fluctuated slightly, and his gaze turned from the blank space in front.

"It's Hu Tao. Are you here to see me off?" The old man's gaze lingered on Wang Daoyi for a moment, and soon turned to Hu Tao.

Judging from his tone, he is very familiar with Walnut and has a certain goodwill towards him.

The carefree Walnut also calmed down: "You have been here for so long, and you have finally let it go. Naturally, I have to come and see you off."

"Yeah, it's been so long, it's time to let it go." The old man's tone was a little regretful, but more of a relief, "But thank you, little Walnut."

Walnut did not answer, but just looked at the old man quietly.

Just when Wang Daoyi was confused, the old man turned and walked towards the center of the altar.

A little bit of light emerged from all directions, and a passage that looked like an entrance appeared.

The old man smiled at Walnut, then walked in without looking back.

Wang Daoyi frowned slightly. He couldn't see through the passage in front of him.

Normally, there should be an exit at each channel.

But in Wang Daoyi's sight, the passage in front of him led to nothingness.

With his vision, he couldn't see what was really happening on the other side.

But if you think about it, you will know that the other side cannot really be nothingness. After all, it is ridiculous to work so hard to preserve their souls and even their sanity, only to send them into nothingness in the end.

Or, the other side is a realm of a being more powerful than Wang Daoyi.

Or, the opposite side is also part of the [Deceiving Heaven] magic array.

Watching the old man's figure gradually disappear in the passage, Walnut's calm expression disappeared and he became lively again.

"Okay, how about this? Not everyone can see the scene of the soul leaving."

Hu Tao looked at Wang Daoyi with a smile.

"What's on the other side of the passage?" Wang Daoyi asked curiously.

Hall Master Hu shook his head slightly: "That is not something I can know. Anyway, every soul that is let go will enter it."

"Then if we don't stay here when we die, will we go directly in there?" Wang Daoyi asked again.

Liyue is a big country, and under the maintenance of the Hall of Rebirth, the Narrow Chamber of Life and Death does not only accept the people of Liyue.

Anyone who dies on the land of Liyue will be taken here.

Although I saw many souls along the way, the number was obviously not right.

There are too few, there are really too few souls staying here.

It is far from the number of deaths in Liyue every year.

Logically speaking, after so many years, there should be a very large number of souls left here.

"That should be the case. Anyway, I have never met the souls of the past masters of the Hall of Rebirth here. According to this convention, if there are no regrets after death, they will definitely not stay here. They probably went directly in."

Walnut said with a smile on his face.

“That’s why I realized that becoming the head of Wangsheng Hall must be the right thing to do.”

Hu Tao's logic is very simple. All the past masters of the Wangsheng Hall have never stayed here, which means that all the past masters left the world contentedly.

This also indirectly proves that being the head of the Wangsheng Hall is the right profession.

"Will a soul that has no regrets and lets go of its obsessions be directly guided?"

Wang Daoyi's eyes fluctuated slightly, and he had some guesses in his heart.

This narrow gap between life and death shrouded by the [Deceiving Heaven] formation is probably used to "intercept" the sky and harvest the people of Liyue.

As I said before, the sky reaps all emotions, dreams, obsessions, desires, will and other spiritual powers.

But if the people of Liyue die, they will need to come here and let go of everything before returning to the origin of the world.

So, can the sky still harvest this last wave of power?

When we are alive, we need to move around, shrouded in the false sky, and cannot avoid having our spiritual power harvested by the sky.

And after you die, the sky will not let you go.

The soul of an intelligent life is the greatest manifestation of spiritual power.

He embodies the life experience of human beings.

Emotions, dreams, obsessions, desires, will,

All of this can remain in the soul.

This is the final fruit of human life, and the sky will surely pick it.

The existence of the narrow gap between life and death and the [Deceive Heaven] magic array can protect the final fruit from being harvested.

Wang Daoyi's thoughts turned, and his gaze gradually returned to Hu Tao.

There is a loophole in the above statement.

The fact that so many people do not stay in the narrow space between life and death means that many people let go of all their obsessions quickly after death.

As for those who let them let go of their obsession,

Wang Daoyi thought it was probably walnut.

In other words, the successive masters of the Wangsheng Hall.

As for why he thought so, it was because Wang Daoyi remembered something.

Something that the entire Liyue thought was normal.

"The ritual of the passing away."

This magical ritual, from human funerals to immortal ceremonies, seems to be considered necessary by everyone.

In other countries of Teyvat, there is also the concept of funerals.

But there is definitely no such complicated and strictly prohibited ritual of passing away as in Liyue.

"So, the purpose of the afterlife ritual is to guide the dead souls to let go of their obsessions and return to pure white."

"Some souls whose obsessions are too strong to let go directly will be led into the narrow gap between life and death. In the nurturing of the secret realm, they have almost unlimited time. And because they can only survive in the secret realm, time will gradually wear away their obsessions until they completely let go."

Wang Daoyi's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he felt that he had guessed the truth.

During the Demon War, Morax or Hagentus discovered the secret of the sky harvesting all living things.

So they worked together to build this secret place.

Morax took action and killed the evil god Chi who was entrenched here, and Hagentus set up the [Deceiving Heaven] magic circle.

Therefore, even in the sky during the Demon War, no one could find anything wrong here under the protection of the [Deceiving Sky] magic circle.

After someone dies here, a ceremony is held to eliminate the deceased's obsession.

Eliminate all the spiritual power needed for the sky, leaving only the pure white soul.

If someone does not let go of his obsession after going through the ceremony, he will be led into the narrow gap between life and death, and time will smooth out everything.

In this way, the souls of Liyue's dead will no longer be harvested by the sky.

Wang Daoyi even guessed that the maintainer of celestial physics was becoming increasingly weak and could not do without the arrangements here.

On the one hand, Heaven has its own agenda when it harvests all living beings, but on the other hand, it certainly needs to use all living beings as fuel to operate certain laws of Teyvat.

Liyue has intercepted the power of all living beings.

In addition, Barbatos seems to be taking some actions on Mond's side.

As a result, at least two of the seven countries directly cut off their supply of sky power.

And under the rules, the Maintainer certainly cannot attack the Seven Gods at will.

He also has to maintain the operation of the laws of nature.

As a result, the maintainer lost his source of power and had to bleed to maintain the operation of certain laws.

As time goes by, the maintainer will naturally become weaker.

By now, none of the Seven Gods were behaving themselves, and the God of Ice had even raised the banner of rebellion.

I'm afraid the power that the Maintainer can harvest from Teyvat is getting smaller and smaller.

Perhaps if time is extended a little longer, the Ice Queen won't even need to rebel. She can use this bloodletting method to kill the Maintainer.

Of course, by then, what everyone will face is probably the awakening of the law of nature itself.

"Okay, I have to go check if there are any loopholes in the secret realm. You can just wander around on your own."

Hu Tao looked at the dazed Wang Daoyi and waved her hand in front of him.

Wang Daoyi recovered from his trance and nodded gently to Hu Tao: "Okay, thank you for troubling Master Hu."

"Hey, no trouble, no trouble."

Walnut smiled and turned away.

Watching Hu Tao leave, Wang Daoyi continued to think.

If the above speculations are all correct, then where did these souls who let go of their obsessions go?

Wang Daoyi recalled the situation at the old dean’s funeral.

Istaru traveled through time and space and forcibly took the old dean's soul away from Morax's realm.

Then, is the country of Morax the other side of the narrow passage between life and death?

The souls who have let go of all their obsessions will be taken into the [country] under their control, so that justice will never be able to harm them again.

This is in line with the Demon God Lover concept.

Moreover, it is not difficult to do.

Barbatos can guide the souls of his believers, so Morax can naturally do it as well.

Even Wang Daoyi, who lacks basic skills, can forcibly restrain a piece of land veins, leave his own mark on it, and modify the land veins into the shape he wants.

Finally, he led his believers to sleep in that vein of the earth.

In this way, as long as the kingly way does not fall, even the earth veins will not have any problems.

This formed a [country] that belonged exclusively to the Lord of Red Sand.

Previously, in the ruins of the entrance to the narrow gap between life and death, Wang Daoyi was very puzzled as to why the magic array that could not even deceive the sky could not prevent the earth monsters from reproducing here.

Now it seems that it is very likely that the earth veins cannot be isolated here.

Because the final destination of the souls here is still to sleep in the earth veins.

However, the geomantic veins here have been completely controlled by Morax.

After these souls let go of their obsessions, they can enter and enjoy a long sleep.

And it will not be harvested by the sky again and turned into fuel for the operation of certain laws.

After a slight silence, Wang Daoyi slightly confirmed the above inference and felt that even if this was not the truth, it should be very close.

"When we return to Xumi, we may be able to make some plans. If this can really speed up the weakening of the Maintainer, then it wouldn't be a bad idea for me to give it a push."
