"It is indeed related to your ancestors. The rest cannot be told according to the contract. You can look it up slowly on your own."
"Uh..." Lin Zixuan, who was about to continue playing the emotional card, was blocked by Zhongli's words. He had no choice but to rush to Mingyun Town to find Uncle Fu to see where there was any information left by the ancestors.
The two gods saw that Lin Zixuan had left, and could not help but use a barrier to shield the surroundings and started chatting again.
“I didn’t expect he would make such a big deal out of it,” Wendy said.
"Every time he does, he will definitely make every possible preparation before swinging the sword to kill."
"I think we'll have to find some help this time. You and I both know how terrifying the 'Prophet' is."
"I wanted to buy some osmanthus flowers and wine, but unfortunately my old friend has left... Alas. Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is time to complete the contract."
"Don't sigh, just deal with this guy who is more terrible than justice." Wendy took a sip of tea. "Tea doesn't really suit me, wine is better, it can make me forget a lot of bad things."
"Well, a drink wouldn't hurt."
Night, Qun Yu Pavilion.
Lin Zixuan was looking through the family's records over the years, the records of the General Affairs Department, and even some books from Mond and Xumi.
Ningguang and the three secretaries were also looking through the information together and saw Lin Zixuan stretching.
"Did you find any clues?"
"No! It's as if a big hand has completely erased the relevant information. The intelligence I have received so far is all half-true and half-false.
The information that Emperor Yan Wang said should only be the first half of the incident. He has not revealed the second half at all. "
"So, the truth is still in the dark?"
"If he doesn't show up, we won't be able to find him. Even if he shows up, my mastery of higher powers is still very weak. There is a high probability that... we won't win."
"Indeed, he has been practicing for at least 4000 years, and you have only been practicing for a dozen years. Even though you are now practicing madly in the magic weapon training tower, the gap between you is still huge."
"Beep, beep, beep~~~" The phone on Ningguang's desk rang.
"??? Society executive?" Ningguang picked up the phone.
"What? The sacred cherry tree was uprooted? Xuan!" Ningguang looked at Lin Zixuan. Lin Zixuan nodded, turned into a stream of light and flew towards Inazuma's Narukami Taisha Shrine.
Inazuma, Narukami Taisha Shrine.
Lin Zixuan landed from the air and saw collapsed houses all around him. The sacred cherry tree had turned into a pile of broken wood, and the vegetation on the entire mountain was all withered and yellow, like a dead mountain.
General Lei Dian... No, it was Lei Dian who was holding a miniature version of Lei Dian tightly and refused to let go. Yae Shenzi saw Lin Zixuan arrive and hurried forward.
"What about Lei Dian's purple crystal?" Lin Zixuan asked immediately.
"It's very unstable and may collapse at any time. Come with me!" Yae Shen Zi hurriedly took Lin Zixuan and Lei Dianying to the location of Lei Dian's true body.
When they arrived at a cave below the Narukami Taisha Shrine, Yae Shinto opened the restrictions outside and everyone rushed in.
The purple crystal is covered with cracks and special fox marks, which are trying their best to prevent the purple crystal from breaking.
Lin Zixuan clasped his hands together.
"Sealing Technique: Imprisonment!"
"Sealing Technique: Space Partition!"
Then they added thunder element to the crystal. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the purple crystal gradually stabilize.
"Son of God, what happened?" Lin Zixuan asked.
"A hooded man with a cane suddenly appeared above Narukami Taisha Shrine, and then nine huge pillars were inserted into each of the Inazuma islands.
Three of them were inserted into Yingxiang Mountain, and then the entire vegetation of Yingxiang Mountain seemed to have its vitality sucked away, and all of them withered and died.
The general arrived in time, but... that defense was too weak. He couldn't hit him at all, and was even hit by his own blade.
Seeing this, the general slashed with his sword without thinking... and then... he crushed it with one hand. I have never seen such a terrifying person, and my attack on him is completely useless.
Lei Dianzhen also came out to help, causing the man to be stunned for a moment, but was unable to cause any harm to him.
We fought for more than ten minutes... or rather, we were fooled by him. Then he pulled out nine pillars and disappeared.
"We may be facing the strongest enemy in history." Raiden Zhen said.
Chapter 396: Cost and Panic
"The strongest enemy? Not necessarily. Isn't there justice?" Lin Zixuan asked.
"He won't attack without being fully prepared. Once he attacks, the opponent will surely die without any chance of fighting back. His attack at this point in time means that he is ready to deal with all kinds of problems.
The Prophet is an extremely selfish person. He doesn't care about the extinction of any race. As long as it is beneficial to him and can enhance his strength, he will do it. Behind him are countless bones and wronged souls.
Even the ancestors of the Yae God's clan were captured by him to make medicine. Sky Island has expressly forbidden the spread of anything related to him, so you can't find any records about him.
He had predicted my death and hoped that I would sign a contract with some conditions. But because of the incident of killing the fox demon, I had a grudge against him, so I did not sign the contract. It was probably beyond his expectation that he was still alive, and there was a flaw in the battle.
Let me think about it, when we were negotiating the contract, he said: Forget it, you don’t make any difference, Lei Diandian will work hard for you.
Come to think of it...your chin is a bit like his." Lei Dianzhen stared at Lin Zixuan's chin.
"Oh? Haven't you seen his true face?"
"No, he had a silver mask on the upper half of his face, and there was an extremely strong seal on it, but his attire was very special."
"Then is there any other information, such as the skills he often uses?"
"When we dealt with him, he usually just teleported away. There was almost no fighting, and the intelligence was limited. Back then, it wasn't as convenient as it is today. It took more than a month for the news from Liyue to come back and forth."
"Since he is an extreme egoist, then we have to consider what his purpose is? Is there any connection between the Grass Dragon King and the Divine Cherry Tree?" Lin Zixuan frowned and thought.
"There shouldn't be any necessary connection between people from all over the world, right?" Lei Dianzhen shook his head, not knowing why that person did this.
"When he shows up again, we should know what he wants. Let's go back to Narukami Taisha Shrine first. I'll help you get the sacred cherry tree and the building back."
"By the way, give me some strength and make me bigger." Raiden pushed the two slimes away with great effort.
"No need, sister, I will take care of it from now on!" Lei Dianying pressed Lei Dianzhen back.
"This... okay!" Lin Zixuan pinched his hot nose, and the villain in his heart showed an envious expression.
The entire Yingxiang Mountain was turned green again, the sacred cherry tree was re-sculpted, and a basic framework for the building was also sculpted. They had to solve the problem of bricks and tiles on the top by themselves.
"Huh? I remember it was at the bottom of the mountain..." Lin Zixuan recalled that it seemed to be a purple miasma lake before. Now it is full of greenery. Maybe the traveler solved it after completing the Divine Sakura Purification mission?
"Okay, I'll go back after I finish my work here. You guys can take care of the rest slowly." Lin Zixuan waved his hand and left Inazuma.
"The person who was in the way has disappeared. Sister, isn't hide-and-seek fun?" Lei Dianying picked up the palm-sized Lei Dianzhen, and Lei Dianzhen looked away.
"I can only appear before you when you acknowledge this sacred cherry tree. After several secret visits to Naruto Grand Shrine, you discovered clues and gradually acknowledged the existence of this tree. But this is far from enough, and the cause and effect is still incomplete."
"So what can I do to get you back completely?"
"Think about it yourself!" Lei Dianzhen said.
Qunyu Pavilion.
"How is Inazuma doing?" Ningguang asked hurriedly when she saw Lin Zixuan coming back.
"The sacred cherry tree was destroyed, and General Raiden was tricked in his battle with it. Fortunately, we got some information related to him."
After listening to the information provided by Lin Zixuan, Ningguang also began to analyze it.
"If he is this kind of person, he must have some ulterior motive. In other words, is it equivalent to facing a 'Doctor' whose strength has been enhanced to the extreme?"
"The most troublesome thing now is that we don't know what his plan is? Where will he go next?"
“If you put him in your shoes, he’d be exactly like you. He’d do anything to achieve his goals and has made Liyue a mess,” Ningguang complained.
"How could that be? It was clearly a good thing." Lin Zixuan retorted.
“!!!” Ningguang’s mind suddenly flashed. “Good news? Could it be that he…”
“??? Why do you only speak half of a sentence? Have you thought of something?” Lin Zixuan asked.
"I have some clues, but I'm not sure. After he shows up for the third time, it should be clear what he's going to do. If he's like you, then he'll act in the same way.
Those who plant trees will enjoy the shade, and he is very likely planning a new future.
And you are the key. Immortals can live for thousands of years, so it is not necessary to create a "self". Unless... there is a reason to do so.
Besides...don't you think your strength is too abnormal among the descendants of immortals?
Ganyu and Yanfei are both descendants of immortals. Ganyu, who has lived for three thousand years, is completely inferior to you in elemental power.
Even those veteran immortals had to use up all their energy fighting against Osel, but you were able to create the wood that covered the entire harbor with ease.
Throughout the 3700 years of Liyue, there has never been a descendant of an immortal who could surpass his parents within a hundred years, let alone descendants several generations later.
Liyue abides by the contract. In just a dozen years, you can gain power far beyond that of an immortal. So what is the price you have to pay for such a powerful power? "Ningguang said.
"Power? Over the years, I seemed to have taken this power for granted. But in fact, it doesn't stand up to scrutiny at all. I am not as special as the traveler Ying. I don't have any golden fingers or systems." Lin Zixuan frowned.
"So we can draw a conclusion: someone helped you pay the price for this power, which allowed you to have such a strong strength, allowing you to change Liyue smoothly and unscrupulously, and let Liyue move towards a new path."
"It's really uncomfortable to have this feeling of having a clue but just not being able to grasp it." Lin Zixuan said.
“Knowing part of the future is both your advantage and your shackles. Once something unexpected or out of your control happens, you will be like you are now... very panicked.”
"I..." Lin Zixuan thought about my state during this period. "You are right. It seems that I need to adjust my mentality."
On the other side, the desert area.
After a long journey, Ying and his group finally arrived at their destination.
"Pfft, pfft, your mouth is full of sand." Paimon complained. "Where is the temple? That building in the distance is so huge!"
"That's the legendary Red King's Tomb. We've arrived at the location shown on the map, and the nearby reference objects all match up. Let's look for it separately." Candice said.
"No, I can feel that inexplicable call. Over there!" Seno pointed in a direction.
Everyone followed Seno for a while and then stopped when they saw Seno.
"It seems...under our feet."
"Under my feet? Should I dig it up?" Paimon scratched his head.
"Ying, let's try it." Falushan raised the wind element ball in her hand, and Ying also condensed a wind element ball in her hand, and then released the elemental burst together according to Falushan's command.
"Combined Elemental Explosion: Tornado."
The huge tornado was controlled in one position, blowing the sand and gravel below away like a drill bit.
"Be careful! It's hollow underneath!" Candice immediately noticed something was wrong and everyone evacuated.
When the sand stopped sinking, the gate of the ruins was finally revealed.
"Is this the secret burial place?" Dixia walked forward and pressed the mechanism, but there was no response.
"Leave the professional work of cracking the mechanism to us!" Paimeng floated over and said with his hands on his hips.
After a while, the mechanism was cracked and the door opened.
"Such a strong breath of life, is this... a plant?"
Everyone was amazed to see all kinds of plants growing inside the temple.
"It seems that this is the history that we, the descendants of the Red King, are trying hard to cover up." Candice couldn't help but sigh.
"Let's continue looking for more concrete evidence." said Elhaisen.
After an hour of searching, they came to the sarcophagus of the high priest Kasar and heard his last words.
Candice collapsed to the ground. As the place of revival, Aru Village could not have been unaware of the truth. The descendants of the Red King had repaid kindness with enmity, causing the desert to suffer for thousands of years, making her, a descendant of the Red King, completely unable to face anyone.
"Candice, cheer up! The people of the desert are still waiting for you to lead them out of their predicament." Paimon floated over to encourage her.
"The people of the desert are still waiting for me? If they knew the truth, would they forgive me?" Candice said guiltily.
"You haven't done anything wrong. It's you who has led them to live a better life than they could have imagined before. Regardless of whether you are a descendant of the Red King or not, they will support you."
"Thank you." Candice said nothing more, as if she had made some decision in her heart.
"Alert!!!" Elhaisen drew his weapon.
Everyone was stunned and drew their weapons in an instant, constantly looking around, but unfortunately they found nothing.
"Elhaisen, what's wrong? There's nothing here?" Paimon asked.
"No! He is right here. The micro-detection array I set up at the door has been triggered."
"Could it be the big bad guy? No, the big bad guy will definitely jump out to scare me." Paimon complained.
