Chapter 15: The Prophecy of Broken Dreams
In the long tunnel, the sound of rustling is intermittent, as if the murmur of ancient times is telling an indescribable story.
Darkrai walked down the long road, his ice-blue eyes glowing quietly in the shadows, like the starlight he saw when he woke up.
"Darkrai, you're back?"
A soft female voice sounded in the depths of the cave, and a light like a crescent moon gradually brightened up to welcome the returning partner.
"Woke you up, you should have stayed in the dream for a while, that will help your injuries."
Darkrai's timbre is deep and deep, like a precious string note.
"Dreams here are so rare, and Morax and Antoneir have always protected the dreams of the humans under their command, and it's hard for me to draw enough power."
"What about the dream realm of the Sea Clan, you can try over there."
Creselia looked disgusted and looked at Darkrai with some disgust.
"The Sea Clan's dreams are bloody and brutal, and they make me unappetizing...... Besides, nightmares are not easy for me to absorb, and I have to make them have a good dream firstβthey eat fish except for fish, and then as soon as they open the hole, it will be bloody and violent......"
"I'm sorry, after all, I have a different recipe......"
Darkrai showed a slightly distressed expression, in fact, as far as he was concerned, the human dreams of the Salt God Tribe tasted good, but given that his spouse had the opposite taste of his, then presumably Creselia would not be satisfied that time.
"I've reached some consensus with the Sea Clan, and if it goes well, you'll soon be able to taste more sweet dreams......"
"What consensus? We're finally going to do something about Tianheng and Guiliji? Creselia's tone was excited, she had been coveting those human dreams for too long.
"We instigated the Salt God Priest to try to raise the price of salt for the Returnee, but their temptation failed, which could lead to even more trouble, and if Heulia knew, she would not be able to sit still."
Darkrai said with some regret, his heart a little heavy.
"Just one priest? The sea tribe wants to give the salt of the earth to the other side as a dish...... But that's fine, if Heulia falls, then the karma alone will be enough for Morax to have a headache. β
Creselia was a little disdainful, and almost all the demon gods had a clear understanding of Heulia's strength.
"It's just that with Heulia's character, she might run around the night......"
Darkrai has some regrets, no regrets, if there is a demon god who can be out at this time, then there will inevitably be more demon gods who will benefit from it.
"It's just...... We can't hope that the Sea Clan will gain an advantage on Liyue's side, and the foreshadowing from the depths of the dream is getting stronger, and I have a hunch that Teyvat's future will be more and more chaotic. β
"I feel the same way, it's just ...... Dream foreshadowings are on the positive side. β
Darkrai's words silenced Creselia for a moment, and if she appeared in human form at this time, she would surely roll a huge eye with her slender eyes.
"Why do you always have to come against me, whether we have offended the original or the goddess of March, and we want to come with you."
Darkrai was a little sorry, but he also felt that the one who targeted Creselia the most happened to be himself.
"But you also know that sometimes one-sided angles can affect subjective judgments, we are two sides of the same coin, and the same is true of dreams, sweet dreams and nightmares are one."
Creselia was silent, and after a long time with her, she naturally understood the secret.
"After the stars are given to the oracles, the hearts of the gods are descended before the vision......
"The flames of war swept the earth, and the nails of heaven cut off the vitality......
"Darkness will brew in the abyss, staining the real starry sky."
Creselia slowly confided the message she had learned from the depths of her dreams, the words of which she didn't quite understand, but she was already on guard.
"Unexpected visitors pass through the doors and come to the land of illusion......
"He will salvage the sediment from the sea and let the branches and leaves regenerate in the treetops......
"The starry sky will return to daylight and usher in night."
Darkrai revealed the prophecy he had received, a ray of hope he had received from the abyss of nightmares.
"These prophecies are incomplete, and if we could be more powerful, we might be able to see a more complete prophecy." Kreselia was a little frustrated, "If we succeed, if we succeed, we won't have to hide from Morax at this moment. β
"Actually, Morax doesn't kill, he has always been friendly to the demon gods of the alliance, and he doesn't ......"
"But [Heavenly Reason] will not let the demon god continue to exist in the world, we all know that the dream ...... We've all seen it. Cresalia's voice trembled a little, as if she recalled memories that had made her very bad.
"The age of the demon gods will eventually pass, and in the future, it will be the age of earthly rulers, and the age of men...... But don't worry, the most you can do is leave Teyvat and go to the open sea......"
"That's the last resort...... I don't want to be the residue of the Chosen One, and neither do you. As long as we have more dream authority, we may not be unable to fight......
"Let's go, let's go over there, the dream of 'that one' must contain enough 'wisdom' to help us become stronger as soon as possible!"
"Have you decided? But the young god who came down from the celestial star and yang bridle also made me care......"
Darkrai's tone was a little strange, and he still seemed to have doubts about it.
"Have you found out about the young god? He's exactly like Morax, could it be that the dust god......"
"Probably not, after all, there is no precedent for a demon god to give birth to an heir...... It's just that his actions are a little weird, and the temptation of the Salt God Tribe was suppressed by him, and what he is doing now makes me very incomprehensible. β
"It's just a young demon god, how could he have such abilities, what the hell is he doing to make you look like this."
Creselia trusts her partner's judgment, after all, the authority of nightmares is better at digging into the human heart than her own dreams.
He ...... Contracted a strange slime as a dependent, and now ...... It's even more domesticating slimes...... The amount is not small. β
Darkrai had some difficulty informing his partner of what he had recently learned from the Rite of Separation, as if he felt that such information was too shy to discuss it.
Sure enough, Creselia was also speechless at this strange development, and she stiffened a face in her heart, endured it for a long time, and finally said:
"Let's go, go to Sumeru, the water here is too deep, I don't think we can grasp it."
"Well, I can only agree with ...... deeply"
Creslia fell into a state of autism as she finished her opinion, her crescent-like light slowly falling into Darkrai's hand, fading away.
"Hopefully, the Sea Clan can hold out for a long time, at least not let Morax's side ...... One more adult demon god. β
The cave plunged into darkness again, and the two demon gods who had ruled the dream finally left.
But they will definitely come back.
