Hutao uses me to judge my performance

"It should be the fate star." Zhongli said very normally.

Jiang Bai: "!!!"

Jiang Bai's eyes widened, "You know?"

Damn, if I had known he knew, I would have just asked him directly, there would be no need to go to such trouble!

"I went to see those meteorites, that's why I found out." Zhongli said with a smile.

There are a large number of meteorites, and the traces of falling are quite obvious.

Normally, he would not pay special attention to it.

But after hearing that these meteorites could cause people to fall asleep, he went to take a look at the place where the meteorites fell.

These meteorites are said to be normal meteorites, but they are different from normal meteorites. They contain rich elemental power and some strong emotions.

A little extrapolation will tell you what this is.

He finished the last stroke of the painting, admired it to make sure it was OK, then wrote a poem and stamped his seal.

Waiting for the ink to dry, he walked to the tea table in the pavilion in the yard to boil water and make tea, preparing to drink tea while listening to Jiang Bai describe what they had discovered in the past few days.

Jiang Bai sat opposite him, holding his cheek with one hand while watching him make tea.

"The owner of these destiny stars is named Leonard. He was a person from 2000 years ago. Do you have any impression of this person, Master?"

"Leonard?"

Zhongli thought about it for a moment and shook his head.

At that time, Liyue was in the midst of the Demon God War, and everything was unstable, and it was unlikely that he would have any encounter with an adventurer.

"This adventurer has already visited all the secret places at the age of 40. He is an extraordinary person."

"Visiting all the secret places? It would be a bit bragging."

How many secret places are there in Teyvat?Just talking about Liyue, he didn't know how many secret realms there were in Liyue.

"I think so too, but although it may be a bit exaggerated, it is true that he has been to many secret places. It's just that he finally stopped at Pointy Hat Peak, and his obsession became conquering Pointy Hat Peak."

Jiang Bai briefly told the story of Leonard, including the unfinished wings.

"That's it." Zhongli heard these stories for the first time.

Although he is the rock god of Liyue, he is not omniscient and omnipotent. Things outside Liyue are not within the scope of his knowledge.

"We encountered an executive officer from the Fools. After he touched the core, he said [The starry sky is a huge lie]. What does this mean?"

Hearing this, Zhongli's hand that poured tea paused slightly, his expression very complicated.

"What do you think of this sentence?"

"Me? I'll sit and watch."

What can Jiang Bai think?

From the literal meaning of this sentence, it may mean that the starry sky is false and does not exist.

But there are meteorites really falling from the sky, and there is also the seat of destiny in the sky. The destiny star is also a star. How can the starry sky composed of destiny stars not be considered a starry sky?

It's just that this starry sky is different from the starry sky he understands.

Zhongli smiled and didn't care about his nonsensical answer.

"I can't answer this question for you. You can only explore it yourself."

"Here we go again, there are too many things you can't say."

Jiang Bai helplessly covered his forehead. There was a know-it-all at home, but this know-it-all couldn't say many things. It was like having a mountain of gold in front of him that he couldn't spend, which made people extremely uncomfortable.

The water in the pot was already boiling. Zhongli slowly poured the water into the teapot. The tea leaves in the cup were washed up and down by the current, like a flat boat in the winding waves.

"Xingkong, this has already touched upon the foundation of Teyvat, so naturally it is beyond the scope of what I can say."

"Okay, okay." What can Jiang Bai do?

Is it possible to stick a crowbar into his mouth and pry it open?

"What about the False Sky? I met an astrologer who explained it this way."

Jiang Bai slowly explained Mona's explanation of False Heaven.

"You can understand it this way for the time being."

"Temporarily? Why temporarily?"

"Because it would be of little benefit to you at present to know the secrets of the sky."

"Uh, okay."

Jiang Bai is now very used to Zhongli's problem of not being able to say this or that.

Not telling is better than the Riddler. Giving him some plausible information and letting him guess back and forth is very tiring.

"But why can the skirmisher see it but we can't?" Jiang Bai felt that he was treated differently by the core.

"You should ask the skirmisher about this."

The dull hair on Jiang Bai's head hung down.

Could it be that he couldn't find that guy, otherwise he would have asked.

"Why is there such strong elemental power in the destiny star? What is the connection between the destiny star and people? Can it store elemental force? Why can Leonard's obsession persist for thousands of years? Why can the falling meteorite affect To other people?”

Jiang Bai's questions came one after another.

His was really curious.

Zhongli did not answer his question directly, but asked him a question.

"Do you know what's flowing in the ley lines?"

Jiang Bai replied without thinking: "Elemental power."

Zhongli shook his head, "More than that."

"What flows in the earth's veins is not only elemental power, but also memories and emotions."

"Memory and emotion?" This was the first time Jiang Bai heard this statement.

"Do you know why no one else can use the ley line anchor?"

"why?"

"Because once a person with insufficient qualifications enters it, his brain will be directly overwhelmed by the massive information torrent in the earth's veins. You are a person outside the world, so you can block these information torrents without affecting yourself."

Zhongli took a sip of hot tea, moistened his throat and continued:

"Actually, the so-called teleportation is not so much teleportation as it is copying all your own information into the leyline, and using the channels of the leyline network to restore you at the next node you want to go to."

"It's so mysterious."

Chapter 378: Me on earth, me in heaven

Jiang Bai pinched his face, and the weak pain told him that his body was alive and not made up of some kind of data.

He rubbed the goosebumps on his hands and said, "It makes me afraid to use earth vein anchors anymore."

He was really afraid that one day countless people of him would appear, that would be really scary.

"Haha." Seeing that Jiang Bai was a little frightened, Zhongli chuckled.

"It's nothing to you. You are unique. Leylines are just a network, the roads we often walk on. The roads themselves will not do anything to you."

Jiang Bai instantly grasped the key point, "In other words, what might other people do to me when I enter the earth network?"

Zhongli thought about it seriously and gave his answer, "Not even King Daci Shu can do that kind of thing. If there is really something that can do this kind of thing, it must be a higher-ranking existence."

"Tsk, scary!" Jiang Bai thought of the voice he encountered that seemed to come from the abyss.

He decided that it would not be necessary to use ley line anchors in the future!

He was really afraid that one day Sky Island or Abyss or something would try to mess with him and add ingredients to him while he was teleporting. When he entered, he would be Jiang Bai, and when he came out, he would become Jiang Hei.

"You now understand why Leonard's obsession can last for 2000 years and even affect others." Zhong Li used an affirmative sentence.

He has made it very clear that if Jiang Bai can't understand this, he will doubt whether there is something wrong with his intelligence.

"Understood." Jiang Bai nodded.

Emotions are pinned on the elemental force. If the elemental force exists, the obsession will exist.

The reason why it affects others is simpler. Elemental power is fluid. When it falls from the sky, it will slowly overflow and enter the earth's circulation. When humans come into contact with these overflowing elemental powers, they will naturally Will be affected by the emotions it carries.

"Then what is the connection between the Life Star and myself? Can the Life Star be used to store elemental power?"

“What your destiny star represents is yourself, and what it reflects is your own situation. An excellent astrologer can judge your recent situation by observing your destiny star, whether you will have good luck or encounter misfortune.

"If your mental state is good, then your life star will be reflected in brilliance. If you are very weak and depressed, your life star will be very dim."

"That's it"

Jiang Bai understood.

A simple and easy-to-understand explanation is: there is a Him on earth, and there is another Him in heaven.

It's like looking into a mirror. The other side reflected in the mirror should also be his image, but it's reflected in the form of a life star.

"What about the idea of ​​using the Life Star to store elemental power? Can it be realized?"

Zhongli asked back:

"When you are holding Mora outside the mirror, can you reach the handle and put it through the mirror to take out Mora in the mirror?"

"Uh, no."

"Master, what is your destiny seat? Can you see it in the sky?"

There was nothing he couldn't answer this question. Zhongli dipped his finger in some tea and drew his own destiny seat on the stone table.

"My destiny seat is called [Rock King Emperor Seat]. Of course you can see it when you see it, but you can't distinguish it from the many stars in the sky. Even the most powerful astrologer wants to divine things about the gods. Information is also extremely difficult.”

"So isn't [Emperor Rock King] an honorific?" Jiang Bai's focus was on this.

He previously thought that "Iwawang" and "Emperor" in "Iwawang Dijun" were separate. "Iwawang" was the name and "Emperor" was the honorific. Together they were called "Iwawang Dijun".

"Of course not. [Emperor Yanwang] is a kind of name for me, and [Emperor Yanwang] that Liyue people often call me is the honorific title."

It's just that the word "Emperor" itself has the meaning of honorific, so few people know that "Emperor of Rock King" is the subject, not the former "King of Rock".

If you want to call him strictly, you should call him [Emperor Rock King].

It's just that he doesn't care about this very much, otherwise he would have corrected himself when the first person called him Lord Yan.

Besides, the word [Emperor Yanwang] contains two words with honorific meanings, which sounds quite awkward.

"So it's like this, I've learned a lot."

"Then what is the name of Wendy's seat of destiny? He doesn't seem to have any other name."

Most people in Mondstadt directly call Lord Barbatos, the wind god, as if Wendy is the name of the god besides the name Wendy.

"His destiny seat is called Songxian."

"Then what are the seats of fate of the God of Thunder, God of Grass, God of Water, God of Fire, and God of Ice called?"

"The seat of destiny of the current God of Thunder is [The Seat of the World], the seat of destiny of the current God of Grass is [The Seat of Wisdom], and the seat of the Water God is."

"Then can you observe their current situation directly through their Fate Seat?"

"Okay." Zhongli nodded, "The other six gods will not be specifically informed of the change of gods. These new gods rarely have contact with me, so the Seat of Fate is a more reliable source of information."

"Speaking of which, other gods can feel the change of gods or death, right? Do they know that you are not dead?"

Zhongli smiled slightly, "Of course I know."

Although Liyue said to the outside world that Emperor Yan Wang had returned to Gao Tian, ​​in the eyes of some senior officials, his intimidation was actually still there.

Jiang Bai gave a thumbs up, he was indeed his master.

All things considered before implementing suspended animation.

"By the way, Master, I've been carrying this thing for so long, why don't I feel anything at all?"

Jiang Bai took out the apprenticeship gift given to him by Zhongli, a piece of pine stone.
