Then he said seriously, "I forgot to mention it just now. I was planning to explore the Layered Rock Abyss. I am ready to set off now."

"You want to go to the bottom of the abyss, right?" Zhongli's expression changed slightly. "With your current strength, this space can no longer stop you. If you want to explore, you can go there anytime. But you should be able to imagine that the location of the sky nail is already a world crack, and that space is under the sky nail. Its origin is obvious. Don't stay there for too long."

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows and nodded, "I understand. If things can't be done, I will leave first."

Actually, he wanted to practice resurrecting Lei Dian in advance. After all, his sister-in-law's situation was different. She only had one soul seed. If something went wrong, it would be irreversible. Now, by using this space, even if she failed, she could restart and continue to gain experience. Moreover, the ability to reflect the conversion between reality and virtuality would be very helpful for Xie Yan to complete his system.

After saying that, he took everyone away and prepared to call Ye Lan and Gan Yu. As for Xiao, he didn't need to come at all. He could just bring Fushe to him directly when the time came.

Zhongli stood at the door and watched them leave, with a hint of relief in his eyes. Xie Yan, this junior, had brought him too many miracles, and his methods of governing the country were also appropriate. He was so outstanding that he always sighed that the other party was tied to Inazuma.

It can be predicted that when Raiden is truly resurrected, Inazuma's power will be even stronger.

Walnut was also reluctant to leave: "Oh, why do I feel so familiar with that little girl? Wait, who is she?"

If it was before, Zhongli would have answered without hesitation, but this time he hesitated for a moment before saying, "She is Xie Yan's sworn sister in Xumi."

"Why does Xie Yan have so many sworn sisters? Oh, no, Xumi's sworn sister, isn't that the Goddess of Wisdom?"

"Ah."

"Lord Geo, my goodness, Zhongli, the God of Wisdom was just asking you for advice on how to govern a country, right? If you are not yet qualified to be the Geo God, who in Liyue can take on this important task?"

Hu Tao couldn't sit still anymore. Although she was reluctant to let go of Zhongli, such an excellent employee, both Yuhengxing and the Demon-Subduing Great Sage had come to visit him in person. Wasn't this what everyone wanted?

Zhongli had a lot of grievances. He had just sent himself away two months ago. If he were to take office again in a human body, it would be like an old lady entering the bed and making him very happy.

After saying a few words to Hu Walnut, Zhongli walked towards the inner courtyard of the Wangsheng Hall.

"Morax, it's time to settle everything!"

The little girl's childish voice sounded at the door. Ajiu had been accumulating strength for a long time and hit him with his head.

Zhongli had no choice but to reach out and hold down Ajiu's little head. Even though her strength was enough to knock over a large group of Qianyan Army soldiers, she couldn't make any progress in his hands.

But Ajiu didn't care and continued to use her head to push against Zhongli's palm. She seemed to have a special obsession with wrestling with Zhongli.

"It's just like when I was playing with Ruotu in the past." Zhongli sighed softly. Although Ajiu was Ruotu's new child, he still inherited a lot of things from the past.

However, Zhongli was not disappointed. Although the last action of the great devil, Ruota Dragon King, vomiting eggs, seemed to carry infinite murderous intent, after Ajiu woke up, apart from shouting a few lines, he had a natural closeness to him... Obviously, Ruota still did not hate him.

This warm atmosphere did not last long. The next second, Hu Tao came to Zhongli and said, "When I came in, I saw you fighting the Ruotu Dragon King. Zhongli, you said you don't know martial arts!"

Zhongli released the hand that was holding Ajiu, and watched as Hutao took the opportunity to hold Ajiu in her arms and spin him around playfully. A smile gradually appeared on his calm face.

He believed that Liyue would not disappoint Ruota again, and the new Liyue and the new Ruota would compose a beautiful picture that was different from the past.

......

After sending You back to the embassy, ​​Xie Yan followed the scent and packed up Ye Lan and Gan Yu together, teleporting them towards the Layered Rock Abyss.

Ye Lan, who had just obtained the super-power bracelet, seemed eager to try. She wanted to see if she could defeat all the monsters as Xie Yan said, but the next second a hint of regret appeared in her eyes.

She likes to pursue excitement and enjoys the tense feeling of being on the line between life and death. But when she looks at our lineup, we have Ganyu, the half-immortal, and Xie Yan and Nashida, the brother and sister gods, escorting us. This is really a dragon riding on our face.

Hey, wait...who is this white-haired lady?

Ye Lan glanced suspiciously back and forth over the Great Mercy Tree King.

Gan Yu naturally knew the identity of the Great Compassion Tree King and was about to explain, but then she remembered that the other party had deliberately concealed his identity. If she said it out loud, it would only cause trouble, so she had to look to Xie Yan for help.

But before Xie Yan could speak, Nashida winked playfully and introduced with a smile: "This is our Xumi's princess, and also my brother's wife."

Of course, she didn't dare to be hostile to the Great Compassionate Tree King, but at this moment, explaining her identity would allow her to express her true nature without being held accountable. How could she miss this opportunity?

Ganyu was shocked. Due to the conflict of their sworn sister identities, she and Nashida didn't say anything after they met. Who would have thought that the other party would start teasing the Great Mercy Tree King as soon as she opened her mouth? Even if it was to hide her identity, it was too much!

Ganyu was angry. Nashida didn't even think about Xie Yan at all. If the Great Compassion Tree King mistakenly thought that Xie Yan was going to contradict her, how would she explain this?

Secret picture: Naughty children need to be disciplined!

But just as she was about to speak, she saw the Great Compassionate Tree King nodded as if in agreement.

This... No, I understand. The Great Compassionate Tree King was accommodating his daughter for the sake of the overall situation.

Ganyu looked at Nashida meaningfully, and she also looked at her. Their eyes met, and sparks seemed to flash in the air.

Nashida snorted coldly. As both a sworn sister and wife, Kujo Sara was much better.

You are not allowed to attend the party!

84 Ganyu: Can Nashida do it?

Facing Nashida's slightly provocative gaze, Ganyu was completely different from her usual gentle and calm appearance. She held her chest high and stood in confrontation with her.

Even though Nashida is the current Grass Goddess, she cannot deny that she became the adopted sister first.

Ganyu could see that Nashida was planning to monopolize the position of adopted sister. The way she looked at her was almost the same as the way she looked at the Great Compassion Tree King, as if she was looking at her brother's wife. She had no intention of sharing the position of adopted sister at all.

Hey, wait, something seems wrong...

Just like Zhongli, at this moment, Ganyu's CPU suddenly came to a standstill, and she was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses.

No, it's impossible. The Great Compassion Tree King is an elder of the same level as the Emperor, and he used to take good care of me. He looks like a kind and amiable elder. How could he become Nashida's sister-in-law?

Ganyu was more inclined to believe that this was just Nashida's mischief. From the moment they met, the two of them had a feeling that they were incompatible.

Nashida had the same idea. She even felt a slight sense of threat from Ganyu. The other party was probably a strong man in the Niu Sect realm.

Xie Yan knew the reason. After all, coconut sheep need to eat grass, which is a special attack for Nashida.

In order to resolve the conflict between the two, Xie Yan thought to himself that he could only ask him to provide Ganyu with enough grass.

He is also considered the king of grass!

After a little complaint in his heart, Xie Yan glanced at Ye Lan and Bu Ye Er who were just watching the show... Wait, Ye Lan was fine, but when did Bu Ye Er become like this? With her personality, shouldn't she come out to mediate?

A premonition he had had before resurfaced. Perhaps the real actor had been lurking beside him.

It was also Zhou Ben. His almost perfected Divine Chain could only trap the general and Tuozige for a short while, but the Divine Chain, which was crudely made at the beginning, could tightly bind Buyer in his prime. Every burst of divine power seemed to break the chain, but in fact it made the chain stronger. Finally, he surrendered by bending his waist and slightly spreading his legs.

But every time he said "the last time" or "I won't give in", Xie Yan was able to maintain his credibility.

Damn it! Is there no real silver around? I wish everyone was half as honest as the general.

Xie Yan was filled with emotion. Ying had even deliberately empathized with the general during the shadow party in order to shake the general's mind. Even if he understood that Ying wanted to bring the general along for a flexible formation, wasn't this bullying an honest man?

Looking at the general's suppressed look, Xie Yan couldn't bear it.

Xie Yan looked at the Great Compassion Tree King with a deep gaze, and she stepped forward as if waking up from a dream and grabbed Nashida: "Sister Ganyu is my old friend, you can't be rude to her."

"So she's my mother's friend." Nashida pretended to think for a while, then tilted her head cutely and said, "I'm sorry for what happened just now, Aunt Ganyu!"

Aunt Ganyu...

The black slime was rising and falling slightly due to its rapid breathing, and Ganyu's face puffed up slightly. She was finally sure that the two people with ice and grass attributes could not form a team at all.

I will remember this grudge!

The Great Compassion Tree King thought to herself that this was not good. She was not actually worried about Ganyu. After all, she was the only one in Liyue who could eat alone. She was truly a mover and shaker. But if she was exposed because of their quarrel, Xie Yan would not let her go easily and would at least test her a thousand times.

Well, this seems to be a good idea though.

"Don't worry, sister Ganyu. Children don't know much." The Great Compassion Tree King winked at Nashida and then looked around: "We've arrived. Everyone, please be careful."

This was the underground cave where she, Nashida, and Lan Rama had arrived before. The sky nail was suspended in the air, and the bright blue light illuminated the entire cave. The black mud could only shrink into the corner as if it had encountered a natural enemy.

Looking upwards, you can see the complex criss-crossing passages of the rock abyss. You can vaguely see the interior of the mining area. The black mud there has also been affected, but because the mine has experienced a collapse, there are still a large number of boulders blocking the way, and blasters are needed to clear the road.

Ye Lan had researched Heini's information, and when she saw this scene, her face was filled with surprise: "Could this nail... be the source of the Lumen Stone?"

"Yes, the Lumen Stone is just a fragment that fell off."

"But this Lumen Stone was only discovered not long ago. Although there were some ominous legends about the Stratum Abyss in the past, none of them had anything to do with the nail."

Ye Lan suddenly felt a little embarrassed as she spoke. What she was talking about was the rumor that Xie's family had an unknown fate in their later years and fled to the Layered Rock Abyss. Xie Yan, the real culprit, was right here, so saying this seemed like setting a flag.

I'll test it! Don't let the classic plot of Xie Yan suddenly go insane and grow red hair, and need to balance yin and yang to detoxify come to pass.

Ye Lan didn't want to experience this kind of bloody disaster. Besides, Mondstadt priests would be better at removing curses with their bodies, right? Xie Yan should have acquaintances in Mondstadt.

Ah Xie smelled the scent of the black man. He took out the [Perseverance] which he had not used for a long time, looked at Ye Lan with a stern face, and then his eyes swept to his arm.

After being reminded by Ye Lan, he inexplicably felt an itch on his arm. After confirming that there was no red hair, he explained: "This nail has a very long history. You only need to know that its function is to suppress the abyss. Don't pursue it too much."

"I understand the horror of the power of the abyss. I just like walking on the edge of life and death, but that doesn't mean I like to die." Ye Lan crossed her arms and looked over a corner of the mine above. "In fact, I also discovered that there is an upside-down city ruin at the bottom of the abyss. It was covered by huge rocks before and no one found it. Does this seem to be related to the abyss?"

An upside-down city?

Xie Yan immediately recalled that episode, but unfortunately both the Riddler Dainsleb and his brother-in-law only focused on the purification devices left in the city, and did not know the true origin of the city.

But at this point in time, he estimated that his brother-in-law might be studying a plan to restore the country.

Well, actually, with their current relationship, Xie Yan could just send a message to ask, but he had been blocked by the other party last time, so he didn't want to disturb him any more. His premonition told him that if he continued like this, Brother Long would really kick him.

Xie Yan shook his head and reminded: "This upside-down city is not simple either. Not only you, but also remember to go back and inform Keqing and the others not to pursue the matter."

"So serious?" Ye Lan raised her eyebrows. "Well, after this trip, I probably won't come to Juyuan again."

Ganyu added softly, "Don't worry about Keqing. The Chasm is her area of ​​responsibility. Restoring the mine production is enough to keep her busy."

But having said that, Ganyu couldn't help but feel a little worried. She saw very clearly that day that Aqing was clearly eyeing the Emperor's labor force. When the work became busy, she would definitely ask him to come out to help. By then, the Emperor's work schedule would go from working one day a year to 996.

Fast forward to the moment when the Emperor told him in a dream: Keqing, don’t let Zhongli do the work anymore.

Xie Yan nodded. On the way of transmission, he sensed the underground mining area. This area was much larger than the one in the game. It extended from the entrance to the space above the sky nail. It had formed a densely packed structure like a honeycomb. Rare ores were continuously transported upwards through elevators and other equipment.

At this time, he already understood why Brother Tuozi had fallen out with Liyue, and could even imagine Brother Tuozi's psychological changes before and after.

Before mining: I understand. Isn't it just mining some ore to develop the country? Morax, don't worry about it.

After mining: Morax, I am your immortal!

But when Ajiu was reborn, Keqing also heard Ruotu's story. Xie Yan believed that she would make changes and would not let Ruotu be disappointed in Liyue again.

Instead of sensing the upside-down city, Xie Yan focused his attention on the sky nail in front of him.

When he was at the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, although Xie Yan had not checked the Frost Sky Nail, he could feel its strong fluctuations in the laws. It could be said that it had single-handedly changed the climate of a large area. There was also one on Xumi, which was the reason why Xumi turned into a desert. The Sky Nail in the Layered Rock Abyss seemed to be different. He only felt the laws of sealing and purification.

"Is it because the world crack in the Layered Abyss is the largest? But this law of purification is quite interesting."

The Sky Nail is a tool used by Heaven to repair the world or to bring down punishment. It can be regarded as Heaven's personal action. Xie Yan had made great achievements in purification, and at this moment he had a sense of enlightenment. If he retreated for a few years to meditate, he thought he would be able to simulate the purification effect of the Sky Nail.

"I still don't understand the effect of the seal, but now there is a flaw in the seal, and the spatial structure is obviously unstable. I seem to understand Tianshengya's hidden skill."

As the thought came to his mind, Xie Yan summoned Tianshengya. As soon as his hand grasped the hilt of the sword, he immediately felt a faint vibration coming from the blade, as if it had some kind of resonance with this space.

The Great Compassion Tree King had originally seen him meditating so she didn’t disturb him. She followed Xie Yan here not only because she missed him, but mainly because she had sensed that this space had Xie Yan’s “chance to attain enlightenment” and wanted to help protect him. But now, looking at the sword in his hand, she shouted in surprise, “A weapon that contains the power of death?”

Even Nashida looked over. With her mother's constant tutoring during this period, she already knew the history of the continent of Teyvat. The power of death really existed in Teyvat. Its original holder was the Ruling of Death, one of the four shadows of Phanes. Like the Ruling of Time Istaru, he was a being with the authority of creation.

Although both mother and daughter knew that Xie Yan possessed a great deal of power, this amount of power was still beyond their expectations, and it seemed that this weapon could be transformed between life and death.

"I integrated the power of death into the weapon before I could understand it. The current effect is beyond my expectations." Xie Yan explained briefly and looked at the ground under the sky nail.

Nashida looked over and her rich experience as the Goddess of Xumi allowed her to quickly discover the problem: "This open space is hollow underneath."

"Hollow? Could it be that this is where the Taiweiyi Disk was lost?" Ye Lan's eyes narrowed. She was originally wondering why Xie Yan brought everyone here. Now, was he going to dig a hole underground?

As if he could see her thoughts, Xie Yan shook his head gently: "Hollowness is not just a physical concept. There is a space below that is almost separated from the continent of Teyvat. There, time has come to a standstill."

Even though Ye Lan had traveled to various ruins in the seven countries and had a profound family education, his concept of the world was still extremely vague, and his face was full of question marks as he listened.

Gan Yu said thoughtfully: "Because that space is the edge of the world, and the outside is a chaotic void, so there is no concept of time?"

Her ability to understand made Nashida look at her with a little surprise, but the two of them were only arguing over status, and Nashida would not let down her guard at this critical moment. She added considerately, "That's right, so you have to pay attention next time, and try not to be separated."

Ganyu glanced at her and nodded, "Thank you."

The relationship between the two eased a lot, mainly because Ganyu suddenly remembered that she was her sworn sister and wife.

Can Narcida do it?

This is obviously not possible!

Xie Yan closed his eyes tightly, trying to capture the resonance between the space and Tianshengya.

Ye Lan kept Nashida's reminder in mind and stayed beside Xie Yan with everyone else, but at this moment the ground suddenly shook violently like an earthquake. With a loud bang, a huge shadow covered the ground, and violent energy waves swept in all directions.

"Is this... the ruins guard? No, it's actually in the shape of a giant snake? And it's strengthened by the power of the abyss." Ye Lan was extremely surprised. He took off Ruoshui from his back, condensed the azure water elemental power in his hand into a bow and arrow, and immediately shot it at the target's head.

Years of adventuring experience made her movements as smooth as flowing water. The breakthrough arrow exploded with the power of the water element, but the giant ruins snake was not paralyzed like the ruins guards that Ye Lan had in mind. Instead, it swam towards everyone as if it was enraged.

"This work should be crossed out!"

"Hey, Emperor Rock!"

Ganyu activated her magic, and the ice-blue sphere in her hand flew high into the sky. Countless ice spikes fell from the sky. With the blessing of her magic, even if the giant snake spewed out a large number of black light balls containing the power of the abyss, they were still easily destroyed by the ice spikes. Each ice spike could leave obvious injuries on the surface of the giant snake, and a large number of parts flew out.
