Chapter 401 [The Authority of Time] (5k) (The monthly pass owes three watches, and it will be repaid from tomorrow)
Under the crown of Ishta, I finally... See you. ”
Wang Dao's tone finally showed a trace of uncalm fluctuations.
Istalous, the Reign of Time, as the [Higher Force] that appears most often in the journey of the Royal One, the Royal One has too many questions to ask Him.
Regardless of the temple of Mondstadt,
Inazuma's god Sakura,
Even Alhaitham of Sumeru,
He had all the questions he wanted to ask Ishalo.
"Your mood fluctuates a lot, does it excite you to see me so much?" The Shadow of Istaru looked at Wang Daoyi and smiled.
Agitated? Of course exciting!
"Your existence, to me, is no less than when I first saw the Great Mercy Tree King." Wang Daoyi replied respectfully.
"O Great Tree of Mercy, what a great, merciful, and wise goddess." The Shadow of Istaru also opened his mouth to praise the Great Mercy Tree King.
And Wang Daoyi immediately followed the words of the shadow of Ishtarus and asked, "Your Majesty, when the Great Mercy Tree King cleared the forbidden knowledge, did you also take action?" ”
“.”
The shadow of Ishstaru was slightly stunned, and then looked at Wang Daoyi with interest: "Why do you ask that?" ”
"As the last Celestial Consul active in Teyvat, I don't think you can turn a blind eye to something as important as forbidden knowledge." Wang Daoyi said.
After the primordial came, he defeated the ancient seven kings of terror, and created flowers, birds, fish, and insects with his own shadows, and finally created today's humans.
And the four shadows of the primordial are the original rulers of heaven, which are life, death, time, and space.
Istarus is the reign of time.
Theoretically, in the system of heavenly principles, Istarus is higher than the seven gods today.
Therefore, when forbidden knowledge pollutes the world, there is no reason why only the King of the Great Mercy Tree has made a move, and the reign of time is still watching the drama on the side.
Unless, the original reign of time has weakened to a certain extent, or even fallen.
The Shadow of Ishtarus was silent for a moment, and then spoke: "During the Calamity of the Red King, the Great Mercy Tree King did use part of the power of time to clear the forbidden knowledge, but. . . That's not my power, it's the Great Mercy Tree King who reversed time and gained great power at the cost of his own growth. ”
"What about the second Karma?" Wang Daoyi asked.
"The Second Plague of Kanria. It was a tough battle. "The Shadow of Istaru seems to be recalling something, but doesn't give any more information," [Nabu Marikata] guessed correctly, which was funny. ”
"I'm sorry, but regarding the Second Plague of Forbidden Knowledge, I didn't cast my eyes on the Sumeru region at that time, and another goddess sent me a plea for help." The Shadow of Ishalo spoke.
Wang Dao's eyes lit up, if this was the case, it seemed that there was an answer to another matter.
"So, at that time, you were on the main battlefield, or. In Inazuma, right? ”
The shadow of Ishalo paused slightly, then nodded: "That's right, you are very smart, at that time, Kanria had already touched the last bottom line, and in desperation, we had no choice but to destroy it, and in that great battle, Baal made a request to me, hoping that I could allow him another part of his power as a proof of reversing Inazuma's future." ”
Wang Daoyi smiled, and sure enough, he didn't guess wrong.
At the beginning, Ray Movie could reverse time and space, and planted the sacred cherry tree five hundred years ago, which borrowed the power of Istaru.
And this power was asked by Baal a long time ago, that is, Raiden really asked Istaru to come in advance.
Maybe the thunderbolt really hid the power of time in his saber,
He calculated Lei Movie's attachment to him, and expected that Ray Movie would bring his saber with him.
When Ray Movie finds the true way, the last consciousness hidden in the saber will use the power of time to help Ray Movie reverse time and space, plant the sacred cherry blossom five hundred years ago, and buy five hundred years for Inazuma after the dark disaster.
I have to say that Wang Daoyi was a little shocked in his heart, these gods can all predict what will happen hundreds of years later.
What's even more terrifying is that after they see the future, they can still choose to die calmly.
"Sometimes I sigh that even though the gods were born after me, their wisdom often amazes me, as if they are the gods who can see the future, and I am just a fool of time."
"This is true of Barr, and so is the King of the Great Tree of Mercy, and the same is true of Nabu Marikata, all of them have seen the future and faced it calmly."
"Perhaps, when [Primordial] set the rules of [Demon God Lover], he already expected everything."
The shadow of Ishtar let out a burst of emotion.
He stood above time and witnessed the fall of many demon gods,
Among them, dying for [people] is the most critical choice for most demon gods.
Thinking about it, the shadow of Istarus was a little silent, not to mention those demon gods, even if it was himself, didn't he only embark on the current path for the sake of [people].
Wang Daoyi was also a little silent, he had only been in Teyvat for two years, although he had experienced a lot, but if he was allowed to die for [people] now
Wang Dao thought about it and shook his head, presumably he couldn't do it.
He also [loved others], but he loved himself more now.
As for what will happen in the future, Wang Daoyi is not clear.
However, he knew that the existence in front of him might be clear.
"Your Majesty, I met Ling's altar at the bottom of the Yuanxia Palace, as well as your sacrifice."
Wang Daoyi said.
Ishalo's Shadow nodded: "I know this, this country, fell from the human realm during the second great war, when the great war ended, the original and other heavenly concourses fell into a deep sleep, the sky could not respond to the people here, and their voices echoed in time, and finally, I answered them." ”
"And then something happened, the main body left me in the Great Day Imperial Palace, but my eyes no longer bet on this side."
Wang Daoyi: "What happened, is it related to Sky Island?" ”
The shadow of Istaru nodded: "There is some relationship, in short, after Tianli started the Demon God War, the body has no time to take care of this side, and finally when the idol fell into the abyss, it was only when the idol fell into the abyss that a trace of power was shared, and the idol and the altar were solidified on the abyss." ”
Wang Dao nodded a little, in this way, he would almost sort out some of the context.
At the beginning, the ancestors of the White Night Kingdom fell from the human world because of the Second World War.
Then they struggled to survive in this space, constantly praying to the gods in the sky, but the sky was no longer able to respond to them because of the great war, and in the end, it was the Ruler of Time, Ishtarus, who heard their prayers in the echo of time, and thus answered them.
With the help of Istaru, the people of the White Night finally built the Great Sun Imperial Palace, successfully completing the cycle of self-sufficiency.
Then Tianli woke up, and for unknown reasons, started the Demon God War.
And Istaru also had no time to take care of the side of the White Night Country because of the fluctuations of the Demon God War, and the White Night Country began to decay, until the higher-ups gave up their belief in the reign of time, and the idol fell into the abyss, until the arrival of the Great Serpent, which once again overthrew the corrupt regime and opened the Watatsumi era.
And on the ground, after the end of the Demon God War, the Seven Kingdoms confirmed the master.
Then it was the Red King, under the guidance of the god of flowers, who came into contact with forbidden knowledge, and finally caused a disaster, and at the same time, the god of flowers fell.
In order to quell the disaster, the Great Mercy Tree King reversed time and gained great power at the cost of his own growth, and at the same time, the Red King fell.
In this way, until 500 years ago, Kanria touched the taboo and threatened Tianli or Teyvat, and the gods descended to destroy Kanria, and at the same time, in order to eliminate the forbidden knowledge, the Great Cishu King once again reversed his time to gain power, this time without the self-sacrifice of the Red King, the Great Cishu King fell.
Then in modern times, the Thunder Movie relied on the power of time left by Raiden to reverse the past and plant the sacred cherry blossoms.
And in these stories, the Shadow of Istarus also mentions another name [Nabu Marikata].
Obviously, this person also has a pivotal position in this series of stories.
Wang Daoyi's inner mood flowed, and the stories of the past and present were sorted out and archived in his mind.
"Still, there should be something that Istarus didn't tell me, or that he didn't know."
With a flash of light in his eyes, Wang Daoyi said another thing.
"Your Majesty, on your altar, I see some scenes that seem to be from the future, are those real?"
The Shadow of Ishalo nodded, as if he knew what Wang Daoyi was talking about, and gave a definite answer: "In the original timeline, it was real, but after you saw those images, it wasn't necessarily real. ”
"Why?" Wang Dao asked.
"It's very simple, you see the future, don't you want to change? Don't want to do better? As long as you know, no matter what you do, it means that the future is shifting. ”
"After all, my authority is time, not fate."
"Time can take you to the future, but the future is not static."
Shadow of Ishtarus gives an explanation.
"Okay." For the explanation of the shadow of Istaru, Wang Dao nodded and accepted.
This statement that the future can be changed is more in line with his conjecture, otherwise, if the future remains unchanged, then he might as well start to mess it up.
After thinking about it, Wang Daoyi hesitated for a moment and asked another question: "You, you know. Alhaithham? ”
Regarding Alhaithham, Wang Daoyi has a lot of doubts, he has investigated the other party's life experience, it seems that he is an ordinary Sumeru who grew up with his grandmother.
However, Wang Daoyi has a feeling that I don't know if it's an illusion or intuition, Alhaithham, it's not simple.
This is not simple, I'm afraid even Alhaitham himself doesn't know.
"Alhaithham?" Ishalo's Shadow was visibly stunned for a moment before he spoke, "I'm sorry, but this person doesn't exist in the knowledge I've been given by the Body. ”
"That's right," said Wang, nodding, and then skimming over the question.
"Your Majesty, I don't have any problems." Wang Daoyi smiled lightly, and then looked at the shadow of Ishtarus.
He has no problem, it's time for the other party to speak.
Don't forget, it was the other party who called Wang Daoyi to come here, not Wang Daoyi himself who wanted to come here to ask questions.
"In that case, please take out my pendulum." The Shadow of Istaru spoke.
Wang Dao nodded, stretched out his hand, and a small pendulum emerged.
The Shadow of Istaru beckoned, and the pendulum was pulled, but Wang Daoyi did not stop it, allowing the pendulum to fly towards the other party.
"Before the Second War of the Thrones, although the main body was the ruler of time, he always couldn't remember the time he had agreed with his friends, so he made this pendulum to remind himself of something."
"Later, the throne war, the world collapsed, and the pendulum that reminded itself was no longer necessary, and the ontology forgot about it in the corner."
"Until the Demon God War, a wisp of awakening in the thousand winds, the main body watched him ascend to the throne of the god and handed over this pendulum to him for safekeeping."
"And He finally gave you the pendulum, then it means that you are the turning point of the Being's vision."
"Therefore, Wang Daoyi, Lord of the Red Sands, Lord of the Mysteries of the Law, please accept the gift left by Istaru, the Reign of Time, and time will be [obeyed] to you."
The hazy shadow of Ishtar exudes inexplicable fluctuations,
In the center of the wheel of the sun and moon, the plausible 'heart of God' slowly moved, and finally sank into the pendulum.
After doing all this, the Shadow of Ishalo returned the [Ishtarus's Pendulum] to Wang Daoyi.
"Here you go, if there's anything you want to ask, just do it as soon as possible, without the support of the [Authority of Time], I'm about to [return to the source], otherwise the Great Sun Imperial Opinion will not be able to support my existence."
Wang Dao had a shock in his eyes: "The one just now, is it the heart of God?" ”
"Yes and no, it is a partial manifestation of the authority of time, and the heart of God, in a sense, is also the manifestation of a kind of authority, but the origin of authority is still in the hands of [Sky]."
That is, the holder of the heart of God generally only has the heart of God representing the use of authority, not the ownership of authority.
"Of course, it is not excluded that someone can use the heart of God to seize the authority behind it, after all, there are not exactly people who are doing this right now."
Shadow's words seemed to mean something.
"Okay, then what do you mean when you said I was a turnaround?" Wang Daoyi asked again, he had heard this kind of turning point and the like, but most of them were describing Ying, and now it was used on himself, which was still a little surprising.
"I don't know, the ontology doesn't leave any knowledge about this." Shadow of Ishalo shook his head.
In just a moment, the body of the shadow of Ishstaru had begun to gradually blur, and it was obvious that he was about to perform the so-called [return] to the source.
"When you called me, you said 'be careful', what should I be careful of?" Wang Daoyi hurriedly asked.
"Be careful. Use the power of time, as well as the power of the world. ”
After saying the final question, the shadow of Istarus quickly distorted, and his consciousness returned to chaos, turning into a distorted mass of the power of time.
These powers of time will replace the previous [Authority of Time] to maintain the operation of the Great Sun Imperial Opinion.
Obviously, Ishtaru had already set everything up when he left this illusory shadow, and even if Wang Dao took away the [Authority of Time], it would not affect the operation of the Great Sun Imperial Opinion.
With a slight sense of trance, Wang Daoyi withdrew the sand of time suspended in front of him,
Feeling the power of time, he suddenly didn't know what to do.
Long
Wang Daoyi calmed down the turmoil in his heart, and his mind tried to the [Authority of Time] in the sand of time.
Unfortunately, there was no reaction at all.
It seems that Wang Daoyi has not yet found a way to use it.
Suddenly there is a feeling of entering the treasure mountain and returning empty-handed,
Unwilling to withdraw his thoughts.
Outside, Wang Daoyi opened his eyes.
A sense of weakness struck, and Wang Daoyi almost couldn't maintain his flight.
As soon as his mind moved, the vast light elements converged, and a steady stream poured into Wang Daoyi's body, replenishing his elemental power.
"As I get closer to the Throne, I seem to be getting closer and closer to elemental life."
"Obviously, I am still flesh and blood, but my elemental power can meet all my survival needs, but it is somewhat similar to those elemental dragon lizards."
"But how long have I been talking to Shadow of Ishalo in there? It actually made my body feel a sense of emptiness. ”
Wang Dao had a hint of confusion in his eyes.
You must know that the elemental power in his body has never been normal at all, and it may be a bit too much to say that it is as vast as the sea, but half of the sea is still there.
With such a huge amount of elemental power, just to maintain the operation of life and flight, there is actually a sense of emptiness.
Obviously, his time in the wheel of the sun and moon once again appeared a sense of dislocation, he thought it was just a few words, but in fact, it may have been a long time.
"Forget it, just ask Ying."
Wang Daoyi pursed his lips, gave up his act of remembering time, his mind swept through, and soon sensed the breath of his rock crystals next to a ruin.
One last glance at the wheel of the sun and moon, Wang Daoyi turned into golden light and disappeared above the Great Sun Imperial Palace.
On the other side,
Ying and Paimon opened a stone cabinet and smiled as they looked at the golden Mora inside.
"Mora, Mora, so much Mora." Paimon happily rolls around Ying.
These Mora are all her future food expenses.
"Ha, there are at least 10,000 Mora here, but it's really interesting, it turns out that Yuanxia Palace is also made from Mora made from Liyue?" Ying also looked at Mora in front of her happily, but there was also a trace of doubt in her words.
"Because the White Night Kingdom had communication with the Teyvat Continent in the later period, and the emperor at that time had already seized the authority of the God of Currency, and Mora had already passed through Teyvat, so it was normal for the Yuanxia Palace to use Mora."
"If you go to some ruins from the early stage of the Demon God War in the future, you will find that the currency at that time is significantly different from Mora."
Wang Daoyi's voice sounded behind Ying.
Ying and Paimon turned their heads, "Ah, Daoyi, you're back to normal!" ”
"Ahem, what does it mean to be back to normal. It seems that a lot of things happened that I didn't know about. Wang Daoyi coughed, then looked at Ying, "Can you tell me how long has it been?" ”
Ying's expression was a little excited: "It's been a month, and you've been on the side of the Sun and Moon Wheel for a whole month. ”
Paimon also shouted, "yes, no matter how we called you, Ying tried to get close to you, but was blocked by your shield, and couldn't get close." ”
Listening to Paimon's words, Wang Dao was slightly stunned, and then he couldn't laugh or cry.
I see, according to the estimate of the elemental power deficit in his body, he thought that it had been a year or two, but only a month had passed.
And the lack of elemental power in his body is probably because Ying has been trying to get close to him, and his divine body will naturally generate a shield in order to protect himself.
Ying has been tempting, and the divine body has been generating shields, and such a long time of pulling back and forth is the truth that the elemental power of the royal road is consumed.
