Chapter 229: The Abyss, the Starry Sky, the Emperor Statue

Wendy didn't know what she was recalling, it was a well-rhythmed and beautiful tune, but it made people feel sad.

"Sorry, it took some time." Wendy finished playing the piano and said sorry.

Shi Lan snorted: "It's okay, it's okay to have some grand marches before the big war." ”

Paimon and Sora looked at each other, "Can this be called a practice song......

Then, everyone came to the front of the wind barrier.

This huge wall of wind enveloped the entire ruins of the wind dragon, and it seemed to be undecided, mixed with almost all the debris around it that could be rolled up by it, and a grain of fine sand could turn into a wounding blade.

Because of too much clutter, the whole wind wall looks dirty and dark.

Curiously, Paimon reached out and gently touched the wind barrier, and immediately withdrew his hand in surprise, and then saw that blood had oozed from his delicate fingertips, and a piece of flesh had been cut off by the wind.

Everyone was amazed.

"What a terrible wind!"

Only Shi Lan casually used the wind barrier to shave his nails, leaving Paimon speechless.

"Let me come."

Wendy stepped forward and held out her hand in the face of the wind barrier.

Then, a surging light emanated from him, followed his fingertips, and slowly gathered on the wind wall, like a watercolor dripping into water, constantly spreading on the wind wall.

It seems that when this force spreads completely, you will be able to contact the wind barrier.

But as time passed, Wendy's elemental power, which had spread rapidly, suddenly stagnated.

"Huh?"

"What's wrong?"

"This force is resisting me......" Wendy grimaced: "It's the power of the abyss, it's a little troublesome." ”

"Let me try."

Shi Lan stepped forward and stood side by side with Wendy, the elemental power protecting his hand, and the gray vision of the god emitted an eerie light.

He let out a low snort, and the wind around him suddenly trembled.

The dim starry sky casts shadows, and the empty constellation is pitch black and deep, with no light in sight.

Feeling the elemental power in the wind wall, Shi Lan no longer hesitated, and decisively urged the Vision of God, and a powerful momentum erupted from him, and Wendy, who was shocked, took two steps back.

"Shi Lan, be careful of the power of the abyss!"

Centered on Shi Lan's Vision, a huge vortex was forming, and the surrounding elemental power was surging wildly towards the Vision of God, absorbing all of it into it.

The wind gathers, and the cloaks that blow hunt rattle.

The rest of the people immediately stabilized their minds and tried to stay away from Shi Lan as much as possible.

Because their elemental power has also been pulled and is eagerly surging outward, if it is not intentionally controlled, I am afraid that their elemental power will also be sucked away by Shi Lan's Divine Vision.

Although the wind dragon ruins were howling incessantly, when they arrived at Shi Lan, they became stagnant and slow like water flowing to the end of the river, and the irritable elemental power was continuously absorbed by Shi Lan.

His vision grew brighter and brighter.

With the influx of elemental power, there was also a strange power mixed into Shi Lan's body, making his arm become heavier and heavier, and his muscles and veins were thick, as if they were congested with blood, and they were hideously exposed on the surface of his arm, twitching and writhing like a winding snake.

Shi Lan's body began to tremble, and it was obvious that he couldn't bear this strange force crashing around his body.

"Shi Lan! Stop it! Sora saw that something was wrong with him and tried to rush up to interrupt Shi Lan.

"Can't move!"

Wendy paused, "The elemental power in the entire wind barrier is converging towards him, and if it is forcibly interrupted, the elemental impact caused by it will directly kill him!" ”

"What then! The stone man can't hold it anymore! ”

Wendy didn't speak, his vision of the gods emitted a soft light, revealing a chess piece-like artifact, and pure divine power poured out, enveloping Shi Lan in it.

The elemental forces are still converging, absorbing faster and faster, and there is a vague danger of being uncontrolled.

Compared with absorption, it should be said that it is more appropriate to say that the elemental power in the wind barrier actively converges towards Shi Lan.

At this time, Shi Lan suddenly opened his eyes, the power of the abyss gathered in his body, pressing his nerves, his soul seemed to pass through a door, the ruins of the wind dragon in front of him became distorted, and a strange scene appeared in front of his eyes.

It was as if he had seen the end of the sky.

"My ...... Oh my God......"

It was a world hanging upside down, creating a false sky, and the stars twinkling in the universe.

A collapsed world appeared in front of you, crumbling buildings, bottomless pitch black.

The abyssal mages in the Wind Dragon Ruins suddenly panicked, including Ying in the temple.

"Someone's spying on us!"

※※※

The soft wind enveloped Shi Lan, making his Divine Vision brighter and brighter, and a little starlight fell into it, and the terrifying elemental power in the wind barrier was instantly absorbed!

Wendy was shocked and pulled Shi Lan back without hesitation.

The wind died down instantly, and the elemental force exploded.

The Dandelion Knight immediately unleashed an elemental burst, and a void appeared behind her, manifesting her destiny.

The four stars of the constellation Leo Cub twinkle and shine behind Jean, and the warm wind holds up a barrier that protects everyone present.

The elemental impact ruffled her clothes, and Jean gritted her teeth and insisted, not taking a step back.

The surrounding sky seemed to be much brighter, and the wind barrier was dismantled, revealing a wind-obscured sky.

Thick, thick clouds crushed over the people's heads, spiraling downward, facing the ruined tower in the center, the hollow in the center like an endless abyss capable of swallowing everything.

"Shi Lan! You sober up! Kong patted Shi Lan's face.

It's cold to start.

The manic power of the abyss brought suffocating pain, constantly tormenting Shi Lan's nerves,

"Woo!"

Shi Lan sat up suddenly, spurting out a mouthful of pitch-black blood, which emitted a terrifying and strange power that almost squirted onto Paimon's shoes.

Wendy's face changed drastically: "The infestation of the abyss! ”

Paimon didn't care about the fact that he was almost sprayed by Shi Lan, and said in a panic, "No...... This hasn't hit yet, the stone man is actually poisoned? ”

Qin gathered all the elemental power in the wind array onto Shi Lan's body, trying to make him feel better.

"How are you feeling?"

Shi Lan frowned, as if he was thinking about what he had just seen, but the pain in his body made it impossible for him to tell if it was a hallucination or reality......

"What do you see?" Wendy's expression became extremely serious.

Shi Lan let her breathing calm down, her face turned pale, and she looked at Wendy and said with difficulty: "Another world... The sky beyond the stars..."

Wendy didn't let him finish, and immediately stretched out his hand: "The power of the abyss makes you unsettled, you need to rest." ”

Shi Lan nodded, he felt that his spirit was too chaotic.

"The wind has stopped."

Diluc looked into the distance.

Wendy held Shi Lan's hand, felt the chaotic elemental power in his body, and shook his head slightly: "It seems that Shi Lan can no longer move forward with us." ”

"Is there no way? I don't want to stop here yet......" Shi Lan wanted to stand up, but her limbs seemed to have their own thoughts, completely out of control.

Venti shook her head and said, "The power of the abyss is disrupting the circulation of your elemental power, and if you fight Dvalin again at this time, you will be more dangerous, I can't let you take the risk." ”

"But without me, you ......" Shi Lan was a little anxious, struggling to stand up.

Wendy soothed her, "I see what you mean, but please trust us, okay?" There is no problem that cannot be solved, and there is no enemy that cannot be defeated. ”

Shi Lan looked at everyone's expressions and slowly lowered her head: "I'm sorry." ”

"You've solved a big problem for us." Jean smiled and put her hand on his shoulder: "It's we who want to say thank you to you." ”

Pai nodded uncontrollably, and rarely cared about Shi Lan: "That's it, what you need now is rest, let's watch our performance next, the five of us are very strong, how to say it, it's still that random killing!" ”

Shi Lan was amused by Paimon, and waved his hand helplessly, "Then please leave it to you." ”

"Wait for us to triumph and return to Mondstadt together." Diluc nodded at him.

Shi Lan has already earned his absolute approval.

Time was running out and the crowd had no time to say anything more, Dvalin let out a dragon roar, which inevitably woke it up to the movement just now, and it hovered in the sky, its huge figure moving through the clouds in a daunting way.

Wendy led the group to say goodbye to Shi Lan, and quickly made their way along the broken bridge towards the ruined tower in the center.

Shi Lan sat alone in place, waiting for the figures of his companions to disappear into the hazy night, he hammered the ground in annoyance, gritted his teeth and swallowed the bitter fruit of his recklessness.

Anger is anger, and the top priority is to quickly remove the power of the abyss in the body and restore the strength as soon as possible.

What happened just now was too abrupt, and his consciousness actually saw those images that were enough to collapse the worldview through the power of the abyss in the wind barrier.

Shi Lan didn't expect the power of the abyss to be so terrifying, and he didn't expect that he would spy on such a bizarre thing just by passing through the abyss.

Teyvat exists outside the world, and the world has another side to it. At that end is the abyss, and beyond the world inhabit terrifying monsters.

"The power of the abyss... What the hell is it..."

Shi Lan tried not to think about those strange things.

He tried to invoke the Vision, controlling his elemental power in an attempt to banish the forces that brought pain.

"The good thing... The number is not very large. ”

The power of the abyss is not like the power of the remnants of the demon god, and the remnants of the demon god can be purified with the Jing Demon Dance, but the power of the abyss is like a complicated line of sight, staggered and entangled in the body swimming around, Shi Lan must be very energetic to deal with it.

Shi Lan calmed down, his consciousness sank into his body, and he controlled the elemental power to continuously expel the power of the abyss.

But he soon discovers another strange presence in his body.

This was a hazy space, everything around him was imprisoned by the golden light, Shi Lan never knew that there was such a scene in his body, and what made him even more panicked was that his consciousness couldn't get out.

He actually trapped his consciousness in his body.

He had no choice but to look around, and suddenly found that a small statue of the Rock King Emperor was floating there quietly.

Shi Lan almost jumped up: "What the hell is this?" ”

The Emperor Statue released divine coercion, and the angular matrix outlined a formation, suppressing some forces that Shi Lan didn't know.

Shi Lan tried to touch the statue of the emperor.

And at this moment, the emperor statue opened his eyes.

"Oh? Looks like you've spotted me? ”

This sound! It's so familiar!

Shi Lan may not recognize the emperor, but he will never hear the emperor's voice wrong, please immortal ceremonies for so many years, Yujing only listens to the voice, no one understands the emperor's voice better than him.

"Your Excellency...... Why are you in my body? ”

"It's just a part of my sealed energy body."

Shi Lan was surprised: "Seal? Seal what? ”

"Seal, your power." The emperor said surgingly: "Do you know your special? ”

"Elemental lifeforms?"

"Definitely." The emperor said in a calm tone: "Wishing power is a powerful power that is beyond the elemental power, and it is also the power that all demon gods flock to, including gods. ”

Shi Lan: "........."

"When the power of desire has life, it becomes you." The Emperor continued: "You were born with the strongest expectations of all good things in the world, and you should receive these good wishes. Although you don't have a very good personality......"

Shi Lan: "........."

How can this still be a personal attack!

"I have sealed a part of your wishes, but I will respect your wishes as well." The Emperor's voice became solemn: "Do you want to control this power?" ”

This sudden question made Shi Lan a little confused.

"Wait, I'll sort it out."

"Yes."

"I'm a Wishing Lifeform, and then I can absorb those Willpower, but you sealed those Wishing Powers of mine, and now I have found you, so you want to give those Wishing Powers back to me?"

The emperor smiled with satisfaction: "Good." ”

Shi Lan rubbed his hands excitedly: "Then I ......"

"Don't rush to answer yet, what I want to tell you is that the power of desire is not only power, it is all good expectations, but it is also a shackle, once you accept this expectation, then you must fulfill the responsibility that this expectation brings."

"You, have you thought about it?"

Shi Lan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and suppressed the surprise in her heart: "Responsibility... What responsibility? Is it ......? ”

His heart was pounding, and a terrible thought was coming to him.

Obedient...... Wouldn't I be ......

As if guessing what was in his mind, the emperor said with a smile: "Yes, you may have the qualifications to become a god infinitely. ”

Shi Lan was stunned, her hands and feet trembled, and her mouth repeated the words: "Yi! Good! I am God! ”

"You can be a god." The emperor looked at him and found it funny, and said in a teasing tone: "But I'm not dead yet, Shi Lan." ”

Shi Lan almost choked herself to death with a mouthful of old blood.

What a naked threat!

What do you mean by that I accept this power, which means that we are living to the end??

And at this time, he had another terrible thought.

Or do you want to do it all the time?

At this moment, several heroic monsters flashed in his mind: the Dragon, Osier, the Dragon King of Ruoda...

These seniors are more than a hero, and none of them died, but they are no different from dead.

Dragon: Got his head buried in the ground and his butt hung on a tree.

Osier: Chilled by a rock spear.

Ryuking: It feels good to live in a cave.

There are also many demon gods whose names cannot be named......

"That'...... Then I don't want it......"

The emperor said with a temptation: "This is your power, I have no right to interfere, if you want, I will naturally give it to you." With this power, you will be able to look down on the demon gods......"

Shi Lan was almost messy.

Harm this demon god! Are there still fewer demon gods who have been stabbed to death by your old man!?

"No, no, no...... Plain and mediocre is true... I just love the life of fishing..."

The statue fell silent.

Shi Lan was worried, for fear that the emperor would be anxious and directly chant "This son can't stay" and then kill himself on the spot, and asked in a weak voice: "Lord Emperor...... Will it save me my life? ”

The Emperor didn't hesitate this time: "You're from Liyue. ”

That's all it takes!

Shi Lan finally put her mind at ease.

"I have cleared you of the evil power in your body. Come here when you really need it and understand what kind of responsibilities it will bring to you. ”

After saying that, the emperor statue suddenly showed a mysterious smile, expelling Shi Lan's consciousness.

For this reason, Shi Lan wanted to complain: This is my body! Isn't it a bit ...... for you to kick me out like this?

But when he thought of the power of the emperor, Shi Lan could only treat this sentence as a fart......

Consciousness returned, Shi Lan slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath, and the depression in his heart was much better.

High in the sky, there was a heart-shattering roar of dragons, huge firebirds flapping their wings, and wind and showers intertwined.

In a flash of light, a figure was struggling with Dvalin.

"Looks like they're already fighting."

"The elemental circulation is normal, and the power of the abyss ...... I can't feel it either. ”

Shi Lan nodded, his mood improved, and he was about to stand up and go to the battle.

At this moment, a man wearing a hat floated down.

The young man lifted his hat and said in an evil tone:

"Looks like you're hurt? The injury is not light? ”

Shi Lan recognized the young man in front of him, a sneer tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he said his name: "Stupid." ”

Young man: "......"
