Genshin Impact: Another Traveler of Teyvat

"There's a barrier at the entrance, and there are Coral Palace soldiers guarding it, right?"

"Yes."

"Then where did these hillbillies come from?"

"I'm not sure about that. My mother said they suddenly appeared about five hundred years ago."

Lin Zixuan held his chin and began to think.

"I think I know the true identities of these hillbillies."

Wulang and Xinhai looked over together.

"Back then, Orobas used coral branches to get you, the people of the Abyss, to leave the underground. Maybe there was still a group of people who were unwilling to leave their hometown and planned to stay underground. Xinhai, did the old documents record that Haiji Island often sent some supplies to the underground world?"

"How do you know? The records do say that there was a group of people who did not go to the surface. At that time, some supplies were often sent down, and the frequency of sending supplies changed from once a year 2000 years ago to once every five years 1000 years ago."

"It's normal, even though we are all members of the sea. However, the supplies on the ground are not much to begin with. If we send them to support the underground for a long time, the people on the ground will definitely have opinions."

"Then about five hundred years ago, when we sent supplies down for the last time, we discovered that all the people in Yuanxia Palace had disappeared.

The captain did not find anyone. Although some houses collapsed, it did not seem to be caused by an attack, but by an earthquake. There were still many supplies in the houses that had not been moved. They had no choice but to return to the ground with the supplies and report the incident to the Coral Palace.

The Coral Palace knew the seriousness of the matter and arranged a large number of people to search, but they only found some humanoid monsters with strange hair. After two months of searching, they still didn't find anyone, and the search team returned empty-handed.

"Actually, the search team has found them. They have become like this." Lin Zixuan pointed at the group of dancing Hilichurls in front.

Xin Hai covered his mouth with a look of shock and disbelief. Wu Lang's ears perked up, and he also felt a little scared.

"You mean, they all turned into Hillock people?"

"It's impossible for people to disappear out of thin air, especially when there are so many of them. Plus, there's no sign of damage to the house, and there's only one entrance and exit. Although there's little supplies underground, it should be enough to keep people alive. In other words, it wasn't done by those dragon lizards.

Considering all these factors, no matter how much you don’t believe it, it is the real result.”

"I don't believe it! How could they become like this?"

"Would you like to do a simple test?"

"What test?"

"Go over there and see how these hillbillies react. They will just run away, cry, and kneel down. But they won't attack you! Don't worry, I'll protect you. Just go over there."

Xinhai walked forward, and the dancing hillbillies looked at Xinhai as if frozen. Then they all ran away, making strange noises.

"What? Do you believe it? This curse greatly extended their lifespan, but at the same time it also caused them to lose their physical form and intelligence.

Now they all wear masks, avoiding their current appearance, and afraid of their reflections in the water... After all, compared with the self in their memories, it is too ugly and too desperate.

Seeing you now reminds them of their own faces back then. To them, you are an existence that they cannot bear to look at directly. "

Xinhai sat down on the ground with tears in his eyes.

"It shouldn't be like this. These people didn't do anything wrong. Why should they be punished like this?"

"It is very likely that they broke the seal of Orobas and saw the book again, so the gods brought down divine punishment.

Another possibility is that they were simply affected. Five hundred years ago, the ancient country of Kanreya was destroyed, and all the documents were destroyed, leaving only a few words. "

"Let's go and take a look ahead. That should be the sealed library."

Wu Lang quickly helped Xin Hai up, and the group walked to the front of the library. Looking at this crooked library, was it because of geological changes that the seal weakened, allowing those survivors to enter the library?

"I have a guess. The ancient country of Kanreya has power that rivals that of the gods. Even that battle led to the death of two of the seven gods. The battle must have been earth-shattering.

The underground will be more affected. The constant earthquakes will weaken the seal of Orobas and even make it ineffective. Faced with earthquakes of unknown cause, someone might want to look up information. Then, they found the book or some fragments of it, and Sky Island discovered it, and directly unleashed divine punishment. "

I walked into the library, took out a stone tablet book from the bookshelf, and opened a page. It was written in Haiqi language, and I could only understand about half of it.

It should be said that it was the common language of the continent of Teyvat in an earlier period. There are probably many books recording those secret things.

"Can we still rescue those Haiqi people?"

“It cannot be saved. Even Liyue’s Geo King has no good solution. This curse is almost irreversible.

The main reason is that this is a punishment from the gods of Sky Island, and the Seven Lords of the Earthly World are under the management of Sky Island, so they will not lift the curse even if they have a way. Lifting the curse is equivalent to standing against the gods of Sky Island.

The consequence of standing on the opposite side may very likely cause Sky Island to carry out another war like the ancient kingdom of Kanreya, which would be a devastating disaster for one's own country.

Unless...the seven rulers and all living things on earth join forces to overthrow Sky Island."

"How could this happen? Is there no other way?"

"There are still many survivors in Kanreya. They have been trying to find a way to resolve these curses. They are just waiting for the right time. In fact, even if the curse is resolved, these people will die, and they will definitely be reduced to ashes."

"how come?"

"Have you forgotten? Humans have a limited lifespan. Transforming into a Hill Culvert forcibly lengthens one's lifespan. Even if one can remove the curse and transform back into a human, it will only be a matter of time before one's vitality is restored. Otherwise, after transforming back into a human, one will quickly turn into ash. It's just that they are leaving like humans."

When I came to the second floor of the library, I saw the map and took a few photos of the map and the entire library as a souvenir.

Lin Zixuan searched the area carefully. There were more than fifty books, which he put into the space ring while they were not paying attention. He created more than fifty clones in the ring and began to copy them quickly.

"Let's arrange for someone to re-copy some of the scroll books. They seem to be almost ruined, and only the stone tablet books can be preserved for a long time.

Something seems to have happened to Sky Island, and it is currently closed. During this time, we should preserve these historical documents."

"Well, I'll tell my mother when I get home."

After a while, all the books in the space ring were returned to their original places, but one of the books was taken in his hand.

"It seems that this book is the culprit of the incident. Do you mind if I seal it up?"

"??? What's written on it?"

"Don't be stupid. Knowing this will not benefit Haigi Island. You don't want the entire Haigi Island to become a group of hill people, do you?"

"oh......"

Lin Zixuan thought about it and thought that maybe this book would be very useful to the traveler, so he decided to make the puzzle more difficult for the traveler! Then he began to set up the seal.

Sky Island is such a mysterious place. We should be able to know more secrets by following the travelers in the future!

Chapter 73 The Emperor of the Sun

After resting in the library for about half a day, the group continued along the road. Lin Zixuan also collected some special plants and stones along the way.

For example, the Pods of the Eternal World, the Marrow of the Deep Sea, the Core of the Light Realm, etc. If it is during the Sea God Royal Spirit Festival, there should be more. Let's get some back and give them to the scientific research team in Liyue for research and analysis.

Using the Wood Release Technique, we walked onto the island where the Great Sun Carriage was located. This place was not as shabby as in the game, but there were countless stone houses built around the Great Sun Carriage. Although most of them had collapsed, it was still clear that they had once been glorious.

We walked up the stone steps to the Daishin Imperial Portable Carriage, which has a history of at least 2500 years. The stone slabs were tightly stitched together, although many places were damaged by the earthquake.

Lin Zixuan couldn't help but think that it was the same on Blue Star. The magical stone buildings, the pyramids, the Great Wall, the Easter Island statues and the like, their construction techniques can only be guessed by future generations. No one knows how they were built back then, and what formulas were used, and in the end they all became unsolved mysteries.

"Xinhai, do you know who sculpted this lantern statue?"

"The records of the Coral Palace say that he is the Umi-goddess, the first attendant of the Umi-goddess, and he no longer exists.

The last recorded imperial censor was attacked by a dragon lizard at the edge of the sea when she was a baby along with her guardian shrine maiden and her whereabouts are unknown. There are also rumors that she was raised by the dragon lizard clan and grew up smoothly. "

"Oh. Does that mean the dragon lizard tribe is raising her as the new water dragon king?"

"How do you know everything? There is indeed a prophecy in the records: the Water Dragon King will be born in human form."

"She is a fake Water Dragon King. And the real Water Dragon King..."

"Where? Where? Tell me quickly!" Xinhai looked at Lin Zixuan with shining eyes.

"It should be at Fontaine's place, right? But you should have a small part of the power of the Water Dragon King."

"!!! Are you saying that I have the power of the Water Dragon King?" Xinhai pointed at himself and opened his mouth wide.

"Yes. A tiny bit of power. You have to know that even ordinary people have elemental power in their bodies, but they just can't use it. And the elemental power in an ordinary person's body is basically not too different from everyone else.

Therefore, even if you haven't opened the Eye of God yet, I sense that your body already carries almost the elemental force of four adults. This can almost be said to be a miracle.

For example, Goro has only as much elemental force in his body as an adult, even though he is young. This is almost the limit of the elemental force in an ordinary person's body.

You are four times as strong as she is. Even your mother has less elemental power than you. As you get older, it will definitely double.

But it could also be due to the atavism phenomenon. After all, the true history of Haiji Island can be traced back to the earliest times of mankind. "After saying that, he rubbed Xinhai's little head.

"I do not believe!"

"I checked. The one who has been watching us from a distance should be the missing Kaigi Gyoushi! He doesn't have a strong physique like you."

"??? Where?"

"It's a bit far. Well, she seems to have noticed it and has hidden herself. This is your family affair, so I won't get involved."

"Then I'll go back and tell my mother."

Soon, they reached the steps on the base of the Great Sun Imperial Sedan.

Lin Zixuan looked at the statue with half of its head destroyed. The statue was obviously older than the nearby snake statue. There was a similar statue at the bottom of the Stratochasm in Liyue, and its head was also destroyed.

If my guess is correct, it is most likely the original ruler of time, Istaru. It could also be Paimon, the one begging with a bowl in his hand. I'm afraid we can only wait for future travelers to solve this mystery.

I took out my camera and took countless photos of the Great Sun Carriage from all angles. It is a miracle among man-made buildings. The huge stones are stacked up hundreds of meters high, and the style is full of triangular elements.

"I don't have the secret method to open this barrier." Xinhai looked at the barrier in front of the gate and was unable to enter.

"It's alright, let's just go up. Then, 'Wood Release, Woodman Technique'."

A huge wooden man rose from the ground and lifted the three people up to a high place. Xin Hai grabbed Wu Lang's clothes with one hand and his furry tail with the other. Wu Lang shivered and grabbed the wooden man's thumb.

"How terrifying! It rose so high in the blink of an eye!"

Lin Zixuan made a guardrail on the wooden man's hands.

"Is this better? Guardrails are more reassuring."

Xinhai and Goro breathed a sigh of relief. This stimulation was still too great.

Lin Zixuan looked at this core device and felt like he had seen it somewhere before. The top platform device had been collecting the Feng Shui elemental power from the air and the top ground veins. The Feng Shui elemental power fell to the core, and the material of the core was very similar to the core of the Light Realm.

Putting the small light world core from the library into the water, the brightness increased by at least two times. So that's how it is. It's entirely due to the reaction between the light world core and water. The characteristic of the wind element diffusion can ensure that the entire device is fully covered.

Isn't this the water element version of the Ruins Guardian Core? No wonder there is an artificial waterfall underneath. It not only brings light, but also a stable water source. What a genius idea.

This device is very valuable as it directly avoids the biggest problem of the Ruins Guardian Core: the long charging time. It can almost be said to be a perpetual motion device.

It should be difficult to find such a large core of the Light Realm. We can't just dismantle the Great Sun Carriage.

I used Wood Release to make a similar small device similar to the top platform and engraved unique runes on it. I watched the water and wind elements fall down little by little. The core of the light world below emitted light. I couldn't help but laugh out loud. It worked!

All that remains is to return to Liyue and let the researchers see how this device for collecting wind and water elements from the earth veins can be further improved.

Liyue has no experience in building dams, and there are not many good locations to do so, so the success rate is a bit low. In addition, the price of the dam is relatively high, and it requires frequent maintenance.

However, if a similar absorption and release device is used to allow water to circulate infinitely in a fixed space and then drive a hydroelectric generator, it will not cause a large amount of water consumption and cause ecological damage, and it can also keep the cost of power generation very low.

The only drawback is that the site must be chosen in a place where the earth veins flow more violently. It seems that Mingyun Town also has a place where the earth veins flow more violently, and a secret realm has been created. I will go back and take a look at the direction of the earth veins.

Xinhai and Wulang watched Lin Zixuan touching here and there like a child, laughing sometimes and frowning sometimes, completely different from usual.

After a while, Lin Zixuan returned to the wooden man's hand.

"This trip was not in vain, and the harvest was good."

"It seems like you didn't get anything? You just collected some grass and stones."

"You, please pay more attention to Liyue. In Liyue, unique knowledge is the most profitable. In my opinion, as long as you know the principle, there will be countless ways to achieve it.

This Great Sun Carriage is just one of the ways. Maybe after a while, you will be able to see new changes in Liyue." Lin Zixuan rubbed Xinhai's little head.

"Liyue! It's so far away. I want to go see it too."

"When you grow up, come and visit Liyue when you have time."

After touring the area around the Great Sun Carriage for two days, the three returned the same way. A person in the distance watched Lin Zixuan and the other two leave, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hmm, nice eyes. Really quite interesting."

A male voice came into the ears of the witch Aqi, which startled her and made her look around, sweating on her forehead and back. In the deep sea, the dragon lizard's vision is not very useful, and it relies more on perception to act.

In the dragon lizards' perception, Lin Zixuan's body contained elemental power that made them despair, so none of them dared to show up.

They returned to Haigi Island through the coral branches. When the Lord of the Coral Palace heard that people had returned, she quickly rushed to the whirlpool. It seemed that she was still very worried about her child.

At night, the Coral Palace hosted a banquet for Lin Zixuan and planned to arrange two beautiful sea girls to sleep with him, but Lin Zixuan refused.

During dinner, Lin Zixuan was eating with relish.

"Deep-sea lobsters, giant conches, eels, and even spider crabs. It's strange. You have such good ingredients, why do you eat salted fish?"
