Seeker of Teyvat

[Even here, there is nothing left worth protecting... You in heaven just want to see the tragic scene of the destruction of all living things. In that case, I will entertain you with a song of steel and blood.

——The warriors in a foreign land weave crowns from silver branches, leave behind the great swords they used to fight, and turn around to go down the mountain, looking for a place full of strife and battles. 】

……

"Is this how a godless country will perish?"

Digest countless images,

There was a hint of complexity in Wang Dao's eyes, and he murmured softly.

This is not the first civilization to be destroyed at the hands of heaven, and naturally it will not be the last.

The country destroyed by the sky must have violated the interests of the lowest level of the sky.

After previous exchanges with Morax and Hagentus, Wang Daoyi now knows one thing. At least from the standpoint of the human world force, the sky is consistent with him.

Protecting the balance of the three realms and maintaining the operation of Teyvat is the bottom line that Tiantian adheres to.

The destruction of Fendenir was obviously due to the development of the Silver Ancient Tree, which affected the existence of the earth veins.

The earth veins are an important part of the power of the human world.

This may be one of the reasons why Sky destroyed Fendenir.

Regarding Fendenir's demise, Wang Daoyi didn't want to comment too much.

But for the final scene,

The image of the warrior in a foreign land leaving here with a crown surrounded by white branches made him think a little.

If he guessed correctly, this foreign warrior was probably the ancestor of the Imon Loka family, the founding family of New Mondstadt in later generations.

Wang Daoyi kept thinking in his heart.

"Findenir is not a godless country." A soft voice sounded behind Wang Daoyi.

With a sudden shock in his heart, Wang Daoyi turned around suddenly: "Who?"

Someone could actually hide from his perception and get close behind him.

"Who? Ha, I am [Eternal Wind], you can appear here, you should be very familiar with me."

The eternal wind?

Wang Daoyi frowned slightly and kept flipping through the information about this word in his mind.

Then, he raised his head, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

"Istaru!!!"

The Eternal Wind, or in other words, the Eternal Wind, is the ruler of time. One of the names of Istaru is also an alternative way of writing the Thousand Winds of Time.

"Shh, keep your voice down, we are conspiring."

Istaru let out a 'shhh' sound, and then whispered.

Wang Daoyi was still a little shocked. Although he was already very familiar with Istaru,

But this was still his first official contact with this great god.

"When I guided Fendenir to establish a country here, it was really a prosperous scene. Unfortunately, in the end, they still embarked on the old path of reincarnation."

Istaru had no manners at all and just sat there in the snow.

The icy wind and snow seemed to have no effect on her.

"This... Findenir is your country?" Wang Daoyi widened his eyes.

"My kingdom? That's not really my kingdom. I have guided many kingdoms, such as the Kingdom of White Night, Fendniel, and Heguan..."

Istaru raised her chin proudly, but then lowered it quickly: "It's a pity that they were all destroyed."

"Uh..." Wang Daoyi hesitated, "There shouldn't be one in Baiye Kingdom now, right?"

Istaru rolled her eyes: "Is there any difference to me?"

Wang Dao was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.

For Istaru, there is no difference between the destruction in the future and the destruction in the present, because she spans the past and the future.

However, Guheguan is actually related to Istaru, which is new information.

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Daoyi continued: "Why are you here?"

"I should ask you this, right? I can smell the time curse on you across the timeline." Istaru kept rolling her eyes, as if she disliked Wang Daoyi very much.

"I came here to pursue the secret." Wang Daoyi said.

Istaru glanced at him: "I came here to cover up your aura."

Wang Daoyi: "Huh?"

"Do you want to look at where you are standing? This is where the Sky Nail fell. If I hadn't covered your aura, the Maintainer would have arrived by now."

Wang Daoyi: "Huh?"

"Ah, what, let's go, let's talk somewhere else." Istaru pointed her fingertips, and the world suddenly started to spin.

When Wang Dao reacted again and again, he was no longer in the snow mountain.

Pieces of mirror-like space are folded and connected together, reflecting various bizarre scenes.

Wang Daoyi: "Where is this?"

Istaru: "The narrow space of time, the special space formed by the folding and intersection of countless timelines, is also my small room."

Istaru felt much more relaxed after returning to this space.

He no longer rolled his eyes at Wang Dao.

"Okay, tell me, why did you go to the place where the Heavenly Nail fell? Don't you know that He would sense it there?"

If Heavenly Law is monitoring Teyvat, then the places where these Heavenly Nails fall are the most critical monitoring points.

That's why Istaru came in time to bring King Daoyi back.

"Sorry, I just wanted to see what it would be like in a country without gods." Wang Daoyi said softly, not knowing why he wanted to apologize to her.

Istaru: "Now that you know it, how do you feel?"

"I still don't understand, are gods really superfluous?" Wang Daoyi frowned.

Fendenir, who has no gods, seemed to be developing well at the beginning.

If it weren't for the punishment imposed by heaven, Fendenier might have continued to develop.

"If you want to understand this problem, you must first know why demons appear." Istaru said, "Do you know who guided humans before the concept of demons appeared?"

Wang Daoyi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The envoy of Sky Island?"

"Yes, the envoys of Sky Island, to be precise, are the four rulers of heaven including me." Istaru confirmed Wang Daoyi's statement, and then continued, "Then you know, the civilization we lead , what’s the ending in the end?”

What was the final outcome of ancient civilizations?

They were ancient civilizations, so they must have perished.

Looking at Wang Daoyi's eyes, Istalu smiled: "It seems that you know, yes, the civilization we guided has been destroyed."

Speaking of ancient civilizations that perished,

Wang Daoyi thought of several civilizations that forged ritual crowns.

"Ignorance leads to civilization, civilization leads to desire, and desire leads to destruction. Human beings are constantly reincarnating."

"The appearance of the devil is to break this cycle of reincarnation."

Istaru waved his hand gently, and lines of light and shadow began to appear,

Although it was very blurry, Wang Daoyi could still understand that the picture that appeared on the light and shadow was a picture that had appeared in the past.

In the picture, the long ice age ends, and warm flames begin to burn on the earth:

[In the distant era of unknown time, at this time, the eternal freeze is beginning to thaw, and new fires are beginning to light up,

People on the earth can directly receive revelations from Sky Island, which are messengers of God who provide guidance and answer questions to people in the world.

The sky is never stingy with food, clothing, housing, transportation, firewood, rice, oil and salt.

People's lives gradually became richer, and they regarded this as a gift from God, the kingdom of heaven, and were extremely grateful.

But material satisfaction cannot conceal spiritual emptiness.

Human beings began to seek more knowledge, drama, opera, poetry, novels, and even the truth of the world.

Changes are beginning to happen, and the pursuit of the unknown will not stop.

Tian Tian is confused, why, why are you still not satisfied? I will give you whatever you want.

The messenger of God told people: "Your life will become better. Everything is moving in the direction set by God. There will never be any deviation. Stop looking for changes."

This is used to comfort (numb) people and allow them to accept God's gifts with peace of mind, without having too many doubts and curiosity.

Curiosity is human nature and a condition for the progress of the species. This nature makes people question the angels - will such a beautiful future have an end?

But the messenger of God did not tell them, and his silence was deafening.

So, when they couldn't get an answer from the God's Throne on Sky Island, they decided to choose a priest.

Let the priest wear a ceremonial crown made of branches of the earth's veins and go deep into the earth's veins,

They want to get the answer from the abyss from the altar in the earth's veins and the abandoned ancient capital.

In the end, people's actions angered the sky, so destruction came and the era ended. 】

"This is the age of [Fire Sacrifice]. We have given mankind all material needs, but material satisfaction has left mankind spiritually empty. In the end, driven by unsatisfied spiritual desires, mankind approached the abyss, and the sky destroyed the world of this era. civilization."

Istaru spoke softly, slowly recounting everything they had done to humans in that era.

Immediately afterwards, the light and shadow in His hands began to change again,

The flames burning the past in the projection gradually extinguished, and wisps of sweet rain fell from the sky:

[At this time, the old fire will be extinguished, and the sweet rain will begin to fall.

People have forgotten the destruction of the last era,

The messenger of the gods descended from the sky again,

Messengers guide people to build civilization, plant seeds, and reap joy.

People's lives have become more prosperous, with abundant products and adequate food and clothing.

All the laws of the earth operate in an orderly manner according to the arrangements of the gods above the sky. This law will not change even after thousands of years, and there will definitely not be any change.

But is this really the case?

People on the ground have begun to have questions and worries about everything at present. Even if it is a one in possibility, will the prosperous life they have now change?

Will it become barren in the future? Regardless of the residences they own, will those noble altars and palaces be like the altars and ancient capitals often buried under the abyss, accompanied by the pure white branches of the earth?

As a result, people questioned the gods' messengers and prayed to the gods to tell them their future destiny.

And the messenger of the gods fell silent once again.

Unable to get the answer, people were very worried about the future. In order to know their future fate, the priest wearing a crown of earth vein branches went underground to seek answers...

People's actions angered the sky, so destruction came and the era ended. 】

"This is the age of [Water Sacrifice]. In order to avoid the spiritual emptiness of the [Fire Sacrifice] age, we no longer provide unlimited materials, but we begin to guide human beings to produce themselves. As a result, civilization becomes richer, but at the same time, , is the fear of the future. Human beings are afraid that one day they will lose this kind of life, and they are afraid that one day disaster will strike, so they begin to seek answers from the abyss, and the final result is that the sky ends this era again."

There was pity in Istaru's eyes. In her opinion, this era was the most beautiful era. People lived a prosperous life and had a good spirit. However, due to a reason that would not get worse in the future, they went to destruction.

Then, the light and shadow changed again, the rivers and seas brought by the rain began to dry up, and the thunder began to shine in the sky:

[At this time, the rivers and seas dry up, and thunder begins to rumble.

People have once again forgotten the destruction of the previous era,

The gods in the sky come again,

This time, the gods in the sky promised people God’s love, prosperity and wisdom.

And after people have the wisdom given by the gods, their lives have become richer than ever before.

But it also brought them pride and dreams, as well as more questions.

Why does fire burn, why does wind blow, why does water flow, why does thunder shine,
