Over the next few days,

Public opinion gradually fermented in Fontaine,

With regard to the request for cooperation from the Sumeru side,

Many Fontaine critics have come out to comment,

Thanks to Wang Daoyi's good evaluation of Fontaine in the previous interview,

Most of the people of Fontaine have a good opinion of the Lord of the Red Sands.

At least, most of them maintained a supportive attitude after hearing that Sumeru had the intention to cooperate.

Fontaine is a highly democratic country, and after the voice of the people reached a certain level, the Palazzo Momang finally responded,

The official said that we have been carefully studying the cooperation intention brought by the visit of the Lord of Chisha, and it is expected that it will be announced to the public soon.

And then he said some official clichés,

Finally, he said that we have submitted it to the Retrial Court, and we are waiting for the Conversionary Court to verify it.

Then, the direction of the folk began to change,

From urging cooperation matters, it has become a verbal and written criticism of the efficiency of the Restoration Court.

Of course, for the Court of Reversion, this is not a big deal, anyway, they have been scolded all year round.

……

Closing the newspaper in your hand,

Wang Daoyi shook his head amusedly: "As long as I am good enough, you can't help me." ”

It seems that the administrative apparatus of Fontaine does have its own justification,

Although the efficiency of the Cardiogram Court is slow,

But he's very useful when he's carrying the pot.

You know, in the government or in some large institutions,

The most important thing is that it is a unit that can be used to carry the pot.

Although it pulls the crotch, it is essential.

Put down the newspaper, Wang Daoyi didn't think about these things anymore,

Regarding the cooperation between the two sides, Wang Daoyi has already sent a message to Nahida,

It won't be long before Sumeru's business cooperation group will come to Fontaine to investigate,

As for the academic research of the Akademiya and the Academy of Sciences, it is estimated that it will take some time to deliberate.

But it doesn't matter, Arecino's side has prepared a list for Wang Daoyi,

The above are all researchers who have affected academic research because of the explosion of the Academy of Sciences.

After reading the information, Wang Daoyi felt that it should not be difficult to dig up these people.

Of course, he doesn't have to worry about it, the Fatui will help him with everything.

For a time, Wang Daoyi actually lived a quiet life of fishing, drinking tea and drinking tea every day in Fontaine.

Until the clone on the side of the Chisha Temple sent a message - a technological breakthrough.

After mastering the [Authority of Time], Wang Daoyi tried to swim against the river of time and observe the past history.

But he encountered two great problems,

One is the primordial shadow Istaru, who has been suppressed on the long river of time,

Without the primordial shadow of self-thinking, the time node of 3,000 years is stuck.

Another problem is that the basic ability of the authority of time does not have the ability to travel through time, which needs to be developed by Wang Daoyi himself.

Therefore, Wang Daoyi shared the power of the [Authority of Time] with his clone of the Lord of the Red Sands,

The Lord of the Red Sand, who is sitting on the throne of the Red Sand God, has been helping Wang Daoyi study the technology of time travel.

Now the message is sending that there is a breakthrough in this technology.

Wang Dao's eyes flashed with intense joy, and without any hesitation, the leyline passage appeared, and he turned to leave Fontaine.

The Great Red Sand Sea and the Red Sand Temple.

The Lord of the Red Sand sits upright on the throne of God,

A deep and distant aura spread over Him,

An inexplicable power affects the great body of the Lord of the Red Sands,

Like a teenager, like middle-aged, like an old man,

At first glance, even if the god's handsome face has not changed, you can see the appearance of different ages.

This is not normal.

The earth veins surged, and as soon as Wang Dao appeared in the temple, he could see the difference in the clones of the Lord of the Red Sand at a glance,

"Is this, curse?" Wang Dao had a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Although the other party is his doppelganger, he is indeed a true god.

And there was an abnormal aura on the other party's body, although I don't know what it was, but it was definitely a curse.

The Lord of the Red Sand on the Divine Throne tugged at the corners of his mouth: "After the technological breakthrough, I tried to travel through time and space, and as a result, I provoked this thing back. ”

"Time Curse?" Wang Daoyi raised his eyebrows.

The Lord of the Red Sand smiled bitterly and nodded, "I'm trying to descend to five hundred years ago and observe the Kanria War. ”

"Success?" Wang Dao's eyes lit up.

"It worked, and it failed." In the Lord of the Red Sands, the power of the curse of time is becoming more and more obvious, the body is constantly reincarnated between old and young, and the power of time is wearing down his lifespan, "I came to five hundred years ago, but before I could do anything, the curse of time came to me. ”

After a pause, the Lord of the Red Sand continued, "I sensed it, this curse will probably wipe out my five thousand years of life. ”

"Five thousand years? One to ten? Wang Daoyi frowned.

The Lord of the Red Sand nodded, "Well, that's what I guessed. ”

After 500 years, you have to pay the price of 5,000 years, which is not insignificant.

That is, the lord of the red sand is a god, if he is an ordinary person, I am afraid that he will be directly wiped out by the power of time.

"Five thousand years of lifespan is nothing to us, right?" Wang Daoyi frowned.

As a god, without considering the law of wear and tear, the mere consumption of life is actually nothing.

Although 5,000 years is more, it really can't be said to be a price that cannot be given to Wang Daoyi and the Lord of the Red Sand.

"It's not just the curse of time, but my authority is disintegrating since I came five hundred years ago." The Lord of the Red Sand had a solemn expression.

"Someone has done tricks and doesn't allow time travel?" Wang Daoyi asked.

Time travel is a big hole card after he controls the power of time, and if he is banned, it will be a very big loss.

The Lord of the Red Sand shook his head: "I don't think so, if it was really the sky that did something, then I wouldn't have been able to successfully shuttle through it in the first place." ”

After a pause, the Lord of the Red Sand guessed with some hesitation, "I think it may be the cause of the Teyvat world itself. ”

"Huh? How so? ”

"You think, the long river of time flows endlessly, only forward, not backward.

And I came five hundred years ago, itself an act that defies the logic of time,

Then triggering the curse of time is a normal punishment, which is probably the protection measure of the Teyvat world against the long river of time,

As for the feeling of the disintegration of authority,

I have a thought, I came with [authoritative authority],

But at that point in time, there was also an [authoritative authority],

Is it possible that it is a conflict in authority that causes the feeling of disintegration of authority? ”

The Lord of the Red Sands didn't care about the curse of time on his body, allowing it to wear away his lifespan.

On the contrary, he analyzed Wang Daoyi very seriously what he encountered.

Wang Daoyi nodded slightly: "Your analysis is reasonable."

If the sky forbade time travel, then it would not have been possible to succeed in the first place,

The sky is weak until now, and it is estimated that it can no longer affect the long river of time,

That's why the shadow of Ishtalus will sit at the time node of three thousand years,

It's because I can't do it myself, so I need someone else's help.

According to this logic, the Time Curse may indeed be a protective measure for Teyvat itself,

And the disintegration of authority ......"

Wang Dao thought for a moment and raised his head: "I have an idea. ”

The Lord of the Red Sand also smiled: "I also have an idea. ”

The two are one, and the logic of thinking is the same.

When the information is synchronized, it is normal to come up with the same idea.

"I will leave both authority and time to you,

I took the [Authority of Inquiry] to travel through time,

If our guess is correct,

Then I will only suffer from the curse of time, and I will not feel like my authority is disintegrating. ”

Wang Daoyi said.

The Lord of the Red Sand nodded: "As I thought, I will use the [Authority of Time] to anchor you, the last time I crossed over, it took about three seconds, so I will also pull you back after you successfully crossed for three seconds."

If all is successful, then you can only travel with the Authority of Inquiry in the future. ”

Wang Daoyi: "There is another question, I am in charge of the power of light, if I travel through the past, will I encounter a conflict of power of light?" ”

Lord of the Red Sands: "Then even the power is left, the power of light is one of our biggest hole cards at the moment, and there must be no accident." ”

Wang Dao nodded and agreed with the Lord of the Red Sands.

He will personally travel through time, taking only his own [authority] and leaving everything else behind.

"Okay, let's get ready, let's experiment with time travel, by the way, extend the time to 6 seconds, and test if the time curse is related to stay time."

"No problem!" The Lord of the Red Sand nodded.

and some small details were discussed,

The royal road is full of thoughts,

The Authority of Time and the Power of Light, which was gradually conceptualized, were drawn from the depths of his soul.

As for the [authority of authority], it has long been placed on the lord of the red sand.

Essentially, they can borrow each other's power no matter who the authority is on.

This is also one of the reasons why Wang Daoyi is not worried that the Lord of the Red Sand will betray him at all.

Because there is no need for betrayal.

Giving the two powers to the Lord of the Red Sands, Wang Daoyi only retains his exclusive [Authority of Inquiry],

"Alright, come on, lead the river of time and send me back five hundred years ago."

The Lord of the Red Sand nodded, and the time curse aura on his body suddenly stagnated, and a deeper power appeared,

The power of the authority of time is manifested here.

line-of-sight change,

A hazy long line appeared in Wang Dao's eyes at a glance,

The hazy long line extends infinitely, leading to the past at one end and the future at the other.

The silk threads converge to form a long river that flows from ancient times to the future,

Time is long.

"The river of time has appeared, I have anchored your will, now start swimming against the current."

The voice of the Lord of the Red Sand rang out.

Wang Dao nodded, and his mind moved,

The originally calm river of time was rippling,

Countless timelines are surging like waves,

Like a god driving the waves, the royal road goes up the timeline against the current.

ten, hundred, two hundred, three hundred, four hundred, up to five hundred years,

Wang Dao stopped as soon as he could,

The long river of time under him is turbulent, as if he wants to shoot off the blasphemer who is going upstream,

But on the other end, the power of the authority of time was forcibly controlled by the power of the long river of time.

Like a mad horse, but it was held by the reins.

"The most important thing about time travel is to break the stable axis of the timeline, and before the power of time can repair it, there is a gap in the past.

Be careful, be quick, once the power of time has repaired the void and you haven't succeeded in coming, the time warp will be very terrifying, and even we will be seriously injured. ”

The Lord of the Red Sand reminded.

Wang Dao nodded: "I understand, let's start distorting the timeline." ”

The voice fell,

The power of time has descended,

The river of time began to distort under the feet of the royal road, and a deep vortex began to materialize.

Soon, the crisp sound of breaking came to Wang Daoyi's ears,

He knew that this was the timeline that had converged into the long river of time, and it could not withstand the power of the [Authority of Time], and it began to crumble.

And what Wang Dao has to do is to enter it before the timeline of the node of 500 years has a large number of breaks and has not been repaired.

Staring at the vortex below, the next moment, a bit of deep white appeared in the center of the vortex of time.

The hole in time appeared,

Now is the time.

Wang Daoyi did not hesitate, and the whole person rushed towards the time hole.

The next moment, the original roaring river of time disappeared in front of his eyes,

reappears in sight,

It is an incomparably desolate desert.

The breeze skimmed over Wang Daoyi's hair, and the familiar sun fell with a blazing light,

There was a disgusting smell in the dry air, and Wang Dao moved the tip of his nose, well, the smell of pitch black.

Looking up, although it was very different from the future, Wang Daoyi still recognized this place.

Here it is...... An oasis of abundance from 500 years ago.

That is, the location of the headquarters of Chisha 500 years ago.

The first second of adventuring,

Wang Daoyi confirmed the location of this place.

The second of adventuring,

The curse of time wrapped around Wang Daoyi's body,

The third second of adventurous,

A huge explosion was heard in the distance, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and a huge explosion cloud soared into the sky.

The fourth second of adventuring,

Wang Dao turned his head to see the huge Kanria war machine charging in the pitch-black wave, and the terrifying weapons exploded in the wave.

The fifth second of advent,

On the battlefield in the distance, there seemed to be something that had discovered Wang Daoyi, and there was a line of sight projected over.

The sixth second of advent,

The power from the future pulled Wang Daoyi out of this point in time.

On the battlefield,

The knight in Kanria's costume looked into the distance with some confusion,

In the radar scan of war machinery,

Just now, a god-level power carrier appeared in the distance,

But when I scanned it again, there was no one to be seen.

Before the knight could think about it, the fierce battle situation drew his attention,

The surging tide of pitch-black beasts is difficult to deal with even if you are driving a war machine.

……

Timeline, Present, Temple of the Red Sands.

A strong time-warp storm blows,

Wang Daoyi's figure walked out of the storm of time,

Like the Lord of the Red Sands, he also carries a thick curse of time on his body.

The Lord of the Red Sand waved his hand, and the power of the [Authority of Time] emerged, suppressing the temporal storm violently.

"How?" The Lord of the Red Sand asked.

Wang Dao nodded: "Our conjecture is right. ”

"About time travel,

The first point is that the traveler will suffer the curse of time, either 5,000 years of life, or 10 times the lifespan of time travel, which needs more data to compare, but it should have nothing to do with the stay time.

The second point is that the authority that already exists at the corresponding point in time cannot pass through the past, otherwise it will lead to authority conflict or even authority collapse.

Thirdly, after the shuttle arrives at the corresponding point in time, it should be observable and not belong to the existence outside of time. ”

Wang Daoyi counted three key points,

The first two are the problems that the Lord of the Red Sand has encountered before.

And the third point is that Wang Daoyi clearly perceived that at the time of his arrival, on that battlefield, someone observed him.

The Lord of the Red Sand was slightly silent, then raised his head and said, "So, our plan to go against time and obtain more secrets can be executed, right?" ”

Wang Dao nodded: "Yes, if the price is only the curse of time, theoretically, we can go back to a thousand years ago by paying tens of thousands of years of life, and get the original secret." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Daoyi continued: "The only problem now is that the suppressed Primordial Shadow Istaru at the pass three thousand years ago. ”

Regarding part of the truth about the Demon God War three thousand years ago, Wang Daoyi actually already knew.

Tianli moved some hands and feet, causing the original fragments to begin to gather, that is, the demon gods began to fight each other,

The final result was that the power of the seven elements was recondensed.

Each of the seven consuls held a great power until now.

But the existence of the Primordial Shadow made Wang Dao think a lot, the original secret was probably not as simple as he knew now.

If it's just the secret of the elemental power, I'm afraid it won't be suppressed by the Primordial Shadow.

The plan laid by Tianli 3,000 years ago may be bigger, deeper, and more terrifying.

"We couldn't go three thousand years ago, but the Demon God War only started three thousand years ago and has been spreading for thousands of years, theoretically, traveling to more than two thousand years ago, we can still see the scene of the Demon God War."

The Lord of the Red Sands' eyes flashed with a fine light, which was a manifestation of his rapid mental power,

A large amount of information is processed, and a reasonable conjecture emerges,

"The closer we get to the three-thousand-year deadline, the more clues should be left, as long as the three-thousand-year point is stuck and the primordial shadow is not touched, the space we can operate is actually quite large."

Wang Daoyi frowned slightly: "There is not enough time, Fontaine's story has just gone on the right path, if you want to travel through time to find information, it will take a lot of time, and there will be a conflict with Fontaine's arrangement." ”

"It's not a conflict, you travel back in time, and I stay in the present, once something happens on Fontaine's side, the authority you leave behind is enough for me to help." The Lord of the Red Sand said.

As soon as the royal road wants to travel through time and space to avoid conflicts of authority, he must leave behind the [Authority of Authority], [Authority of Time], and [Power of Light], which are enough for the Lord of the Red Sand to help Funingna fulfill the prophecy.

"Hmm...... It's okay, then make some preparations, I'll inform Nahida, and then I'll go to the emperor, and if I'm not there, if there's something that can't be solved, I'll ask them for help. ”

It's not just a lot of authority that is kingly,

His friendly relationship with other gods is also a kind of hole card.
