Chapter 576

"Why did you pretend to be so pathetic, having your heart ripped out, when your divine heart was taken away?"
Although he quickly realized that Wendy was faking it after being fooled for a moment, he never called her out on it.
Now that we know the Ice Queen's scheme, Venti's actions back then seem like a cover-up.
The Ice Queen is openly defying the laws of nature. You were beaten up and sent away with the Heart of God so that the laws of nature would think you were forced to give it away.
Is it necessary? No, it's not necessary at all!
Not rebelling means death. The other gods all openly traded, but you're the only one making an exception.
"What do you mean by pretending to be so pathetic? I'm really weak after not fulfilling my divine duties for a thousand years." Wendy tried to bluff her way out.
"Then let me beat you up now."
"Oh, don't be so serious."
Wendy took a sip of her drink, and her expression became much more serious.
"Lady Rosalind was originally a Mondstadt person. Five hundred years ago, the Abyss ravaged the land, her lover perished in battle, and she became a vengeful witch. She resents me, the god, for my inaction in failing to protect Mondstadt, so it's not a bad thing for me to let her vent her anger..."
Wendy spoke casually, but Jiang Bai could sense his guilt for leaving Mondstadt during a time of crisis five hundred years ago.
Five hundred years ago, when the abyss calamity erupted, so much happened.
Countless sorrows and despair swept across the land, and the departure of the gods only intensified the grief.
These gods may not want to protect their people, but they have more important things to do.
"So the lady is from Mondstadt..."
This was the first time Jiang Bai had learned of such a secret; he truly knew nothing about the lady.
No wonder the lady only slapped Wendy and let it go; she knew why Wendy left, and she was just venting her anger, not harboring any hatred.
"You seven gods haven't communicated with each other for five hundred years, have you? Is this a tacit understanding between you? Or do you have other unspoken ways of communicating?"
Wendy winked mysteriously, "The changes on the ground are reflected in the sky, and the stars are constantly moving. And the wind comes from all directions, blowing past my ears."
Wherever there is a need for communication, the wind will bring voices from all over the world, it just depends on whether He wants to listen.
Wendy raised her bottle and clinked it against Jiang Bai's bottle.
"My friend, you should have found the answer you are looking for. I have nothing else to say to you. May the earth always grow sweet flowers, and may we have a smooth journey."
A round moon hangs in the sky, illuminating a small courtyard.
Jiang Bai sat under the tree, enjoying the moon with Hu Tao.
After the countdown to disaster begins, peaceful days become extremely precious.
"Sweet blossoms, misty blossoms, plus a touch of mint, lemon, and refreshing..."
Hu Tao was fiddling with the ice wine that Jiang Bai had brought back, and looking at the two freshly made drinks, she was somewhat dissatisfied.
"It feels like something's missing..."
She thought for a moment, took out two tangerines, squeezed the juice into a cup, and finally added two Jueyun peppers.
The colors of the two drinks suddenly became dreamy.
"The ingredients the old man mentioned don't seem to be these." Jiang Bai swallowed, inexplicably feeling that it wouldn't taste good.
"This is a brand new drink that I, the master of this hall, have created. It's a taste you've never experienced before!"
Hu Tao pushed the drink in front of Jiang Bai, looking at him expectantly with a sly smile.
Jiang Bai took a sip with the will to die, and in just a few seconds, he experienced the full range of flavors: sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy.
"How about it?"
Jiang Bai struggled to control his facial muscles, revealing a look of surprise.
"Delicious! Absolutely delicious! Master, you should try some too."
Hu Tao believed it, and she picked up the cup and took a big gulp.
Hu Tao's expression changed, as if a mix of emotions—sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy—had swept across her face.
"Hahahaha!" Jiang Bai burst out laughing without any restraint.
"Fine! You dared to lie to me!"
Hu Tao blushed and punched Jiang Bai in the chest.
The next moment, she pinned Jiang Bai to the ground and began tickling his pressure points.
"Hahaha... Spare me! Spare me! I was wrong, Master, I was wrong!"
As they scratched, the two ended up embracing each other.
"You're finally back..." Hu Tao buried her head on Jiang Bai's shoulder, her voice muffled.
Jiang Bai felt incredibly at ease smelling the fragrance in her hair.
"I'm sorry to have worried your leader."
The breeze was calm and silent as the two lay on the ground watching the moon.
"How long do you think this peaceful life will last?"
"It will be a very, very long time."
"It's getting late, Master, we should rest."
The moon and shadows intertwine, and the fish and water rejoice together.
Life continued as noisily and normally as ever, except that the Chiyan Army's daily training time was getting longer and longer, and the trade of weapons and supplies between countries was also increasing.
The adventurers hurried along, sensing an impending storm.
However, none of this affects ordinary people at the bottom of society; they continue to work and live as usual.
With social stability, civilization continues to move forward.
Over the years, Kong's journey took him from Nata to winter, and finally, in the ancient kingdom of Kanria, he and his sister were reunited.
It has been so long since we last met, it's hard to feel happy when we meet again.
Ying couldn't let go of Kanria, couldn't let go of the Abyss Order, and Kong couldn't abandon the friends he met on his journey and plunge into the Abyss.
They each had their own stance, and neither could convince the other.
“Brother, we travel through the sea of stars in search of a suitable home. Five hundred years ago, I made this place my home, and I believe you do too.”
"I have my own way of saving our homes, and you have yours. Let's see whose way is right."
Ying left those words behind, and the two parted ways once again.
Most of the people in this world are well protected by a small group of people. When the crisis broke out in the North, the army stationed there responded immediately.
The Knights of Favonius, the Army of the Thousand Rocks, and the Fools formed a defensive line, suppressing the impending storm.
But it's not just the North.
The isolated island of Heguan has been torn open once more, the Abyss of Layered Rocks is undergoing another transformation, and the seal on the Black Abyss of Tu Ni is rapidly weakening...
Like dominoes, disasters that had been quelled before are now sweeping back one after another.
If you were to look at Teyvat from space, you would find that the outer light membrane of this planet is exceptionally dim, with tiny cracks appearing on it.
The entire planet seemed about to be submerged in a dark, empty sea.
Alice stood on the border, gazing at the dark universe, her eyes filled with worry.
The barrier won't hold for much longer, is Teyvat ready?
Chapter 911 All for Teyvat! [The End]
Jiang Bai stood on the ice and snow of the northern border, watching various weapons attack the monsters, demonstrating the power of human wisdom.
Towering mechs stood at the forefront of the battlefield, bullets raining down on the monsters.
Arrows flashing with light fell into the horde of monsters, exploding into clouds of dust.
Fully armed soldiers marched out in formation, their battle cries shaking the heavens.
Humans have their own inherent nature, and gods have their own things to do.
Jiang Bai and Kong stood on the plains of Sicily, with the Ice Queen, the Ice Dragon King, and the Thunder Dragon King in front of them.
This Thunder Elemental Dragon King was found by the Fatui over the past few years, and a cooperation was reached with him.
Seven divine hearts, each a different color, slowly floated up in her hand and merged into one in the air.
A dazzling light burst forth, and a form slowly appeared.
The Ice Dragon King was excited. Unlike Navelette, who had lost his memory, he remembered many things after being resurrected.
I especially remember their emperor—the Nibelungs.
"Teyvat, it's been a long time."
Seemingly sensing the return of the Dragon King, the dragon lizards living in various places felt the throbbing of their blood. They roared to the sky and rolled and leaped.
In the desert, the sleeping Grass Dragon King revealed its enormous form.
She gazed into the distance in the direction of winter, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Your Majesty, you're back?"
The Fulong Tree trembled violently, and Zhongli stood beneath it, his figure appearing within the seal.
Ruoduo's expression seemed to have regained some clarity.
"Morax, I feel our king has returned."
In the ruins of the Wind Dragon, Dvalin was somewhat restless.
Wendy sat on his back, gently playing her flute.
"Don't worry, it's just that the Nibelungs have returned."
"Barbatos, what happened?" Barbatos felt a throbbing in its blood, a sensation it had never experienced before.
"The final battle is about to begin..."
Navilette stood by the window of the Palace of Momen, gazing into the direction of winter. His expression was calm and serene, as if he had long been prepared for this day.
The light slowly dissipated, and Nibelungen stepped out, his magnificent robes automatically appearing on his body.
He is the embodiment of the seven elements, and the strongest being below the [Primordial Being].
Since his appearance, the elements have been unusually active, and Jiang Bai could even feel the earth's veins rejoicing.
They are welcoming the return of the Dragon King, who was born from heaven and earth.
Nibelungen stood barefoot in the air, his pure white eyes seemingly devoid of any emotion.
He glanced at the people around him, then looked up at the sky.
Above the sky, the small island that Jiang Bai had never seen before was trembling, and the long-dormant principles of Heaven within it had been awakened.
An oppressive feeling, as if it were about to destroy everything, descended. The lofty Heavenly Principle stepped through the void, descending one step at a time, above everyone.
He seemed to have no emotional fluctuations, neither human nor god, but a cold, unresponsive program.
"You have broken the rules and deserve to be executed!"
Nibelungen let out a cold laugh. "Heh, this world isn't yours to call the shots."
Battle is imminent.
Jiang Bai silently increased the distance to avoid being accidentally injured.
Even though Tianli was severely injured, his strength was still terrifying.
Elements are surging, the earth is shaking, and the terrain of the surrounding plains is being rapidly altered.
We can only be thankful that the Ice Queen had the foresight to evacuate all the people from the entire Sicilian Plain.
Ying, along with the Abyss Order, stood atop a high cliff, watching the battle unfold from afar.
Behind her were a large number of members of the Abyss Order.
"Your Highness, our chance has come."
