On the long river of time,

Wisps of breeze blowing from the distant past swept the hem of Wang Daoyi's clothes,

A smile appeared on Wang Daoyi's face, and his gaze looked in the direction of the long river of time,

Over there, the power that was once cut off is flowing again,

Of course, to His delight, there was a smell of familiarity that began to creep from the distant past to the present.

"Welcome back, Istaru."

Wang Daoyi raised his head and said loudly.

The winds of endless time howl,

Fast, but not violent, these winds of time are like the fingers of lovers, blowing on the face of the king,

Wisps of gratitude and joy were transmitted from these winds of time to Wang Daoyi's heart.

soon

The hazy form reunited in front of Wang Daoyi,

He is young and mature, beautiful and ordinary,

He seemed to stand in the past, and as if he were in the future,

The Archon of Time, Istaru, has officially returned.

"Ah, what a long nightmare."

Ishalo stretched her waist like a sleeping beauty who had just woken up.

"Hopefully I'm not too late." Wang Daoyi said with a smile.

Istaru looked at him with obvious curiosity and excitement in his eyes: "No, no, you came much faster than I thought, my original plan was to be completed before I was weak and died, but you gave me a big surprise." ”

"At this point in time, that traveler didn't finish her trip, how did you manage to get me back?" Istaru asked curiously.

"Huh?" Wang Daotian raised his eyebrows, "What does this have to do with travelers?" ”

Istaru did not hide it: "In my calculations, when the traveler completes the trip, it is the time when the sky is the weakest, and only then will you have a chance to save me, otherwise you will be blocked by the sky." ”

The royal road is clear,

Istalo's conjecture makes perfect sense,

If it weren't for the fact that he had already done a battle with the sky before, the other party would already know that the current royal road was not something he could stop.

Then the sky will definitely not watch as Wang Daoyi wakes up Ishtar.

"Haha, he shouldn't be afraid to appear in front of me now." Wang Dao laughed.

The look of surprise in Ishstaru's eyes flashed: "It seems that something unexpected happened during the time I was asleep. ”

"It's not just unexpected, it's just something I've only seen in my life." Wang Daoyi sighed with a smile.

Obviously, he was forced by Tianli to go outside the world to face the killing intent of the other side,

But unexpectedly gave Wang Daoyi a chance to contact fate,

Not only did he analyze and grasp the concept of [Destruction]'s fate from the side of the maintainer, but it also directly attracted the attention of [Star God Bo Zhizun],

This great cosmic star god even directly crossed the endless void of the void and descended directly to the world bubble where Teyvat was located.

It was also the advent of this star god that allowed Wang Daoyi to directly grasp the power that could fight and even suppress the weak Heavenly Principles.

Sighing with a smile, Wang Daoyi looked at Ishalo: "How do you feel now?" ”

"It's good, power is constantly emerging from the past and the future, and sure enough, only when I lose it can I know the beauty I once had, and I never realized how valuable what I had."

Istaru sighed slightly, her face full of lightness and pleasure.

The lost power is back in His control,

The feeling of being lost and regained made Him so happy.

After a pause, Ishstaru's expression became more serious,

"After time is reconnected, I not only regained my strength, but also regained the knowledge and memory that were truncated by Tianli."

As he spoke, Ishalo showed an angry expression: "Tianli is playing a big game of chess, and he wants to swallow the whole Teyvat." ”

Wang Dao nodded: "If you are talking about the [Immortal] divinity, then I already know. ”

Istaru had been asleep for too long, and there was already a bit of a disconnect with the information on Wang Daoyi's side.

What he thought was important information might be outdated here in the royal road.

"Huh? Do you already know? Istaru was slightly stunned, revealing a hint of confusion,

In His memory, this is a very, very important secret, a secret that Heaven has guarded strictly,

Even a heavenly consul like Him, after learning this secret, will be liquidated by Heavenly Reason,

But how did Wang Daoyi know this secret after waking up?

"The Great Power of the Ancient Dragon and the Divine Seat of the Seven Concourses?"

"It's the plan designed by Tianli to attack [Immortal] for the second time, and I know it."

Wang Daoyi's words made Ishtarlu's little face bitter,

"How can this be, according to convention, shouldn't it be that you worked hard to save me, and then I will tell you the secrets of the sky, and finally everyone will rebel against the sky and save the world?"

"Well, if you follow the development of fairy tales, what you say also has some truth."

Looking at Ishtaru's pursed mouth and a slightly disappointed look, Wang Dao couldn't help but laugh.

"Hmph, Teyvat's fairy tales have a deep meaning." Ishalo muttered discontentedly.

He was unhappy with his news and his outdated situation.

"Of course, I don't underestimate any fairy tales." Wang Daoyi smiled, and then added, "Whether it has a deeper meaning or not, as long as it's a good story, then I like it." ”

True scholars never underestimate the power of fairy tales,

Because any scholar grows up from early childhood,

And a large part of the worldview, values, outlook on life and other concepts in early childhood come from fairy tales.

Children look forward to the quirky plots in fairy tales, so that they will have a curious heart from an early age.

The children cheer for the prince to defeat the demon and save the princess, so that they will understand the simplest good and evil from an early age,

When it comes to education, fairy tales are the best books.

Because when he grows up and can't read fairy tales, his three views are also stable, and naturally he doesn't have the foundation for re-education.

"Hehe, I also like to read fairy tales, but unfortunately, many times, I am the fairy tale in the mouth of children." Ishtaru has some regrets,

As the Ruler of Heaven, He was born with infinite power,

Naturally, there is no childhood,

His life is incomplete.

Of course, the word "life" was only understood by Istaru after a long period of contact with humans.

Until then, he was merely mechanically performing the duties set by the Heavenly Principles.

Whether it's Ishtarus, or some other demon god,

It was only after coming into contact with humans that some strange changes appeared.

Demon god love is never simple love,

Some demon gods will give all the things they think are best to humans according to their own ideas, regardless of whether humans are willing to accept it or not.

The more representative one is Diekarapian, that is, the Gale Demon God.

But there are also demon gods who will be influenced by humans and change their cognition.

For example, the great serpent Orobas, after his defeat in the Daedric War, was defeated and went to the dark sea.

According to the normal plot, this guy should turn into a member of the evil god of the open sea, and then come out every once in a while to make waves.

Unexpectedly, Orobus broke into the White Night Country and saw a little boy,

Just a silent glance at each other,

Orochi regrouped, agreed to the boy's request, became their new god, and began to lead the people of Hakuya to farm until a new civilization, the Watatsumi civilization, was developed.

Look, a defeated person, just an encounter with human beings, became a master of farming and development,

The influence of humans on the demon god can be imagined.

And Istaru, as the ruler of the heavens, one of the most powerful demon gods,

After witnessing the rise and fall of countless human civilizations,

He also began to really think about what was the meaning of his own life.

Is it really going to run like a machine forever according to the arrangement of heaven?

Gradually, Istaru began to do more things,

He is no longer rigid in helping those who pray to the heavens,

but to start guiding those civilizations in a targeted manner,

And the wisdom of mankind did not disappoint him, and under his guidance, strong ancient civilizations rose one after another.

But not all things are rosy,

At that time, it was the peak of the power of heavenly reason,

No matter how Ishtarus leads human civilization, once these civilizations begin to touch some taboos forbidden by heaven,

A merciless catastrophe will quietly befall civilization, and finally ...... Leaving behind a devastated and shattered humanity.

Teyvat is a reincarnation, and such reincarnation, Ishalo has experienced countless times.

And these experiences of Him, more or less, left a picture in the shattered civilization, such as murals or oral stories, and finally became the fairy tale of the new civilization.

"Hey, I still want to help, but it's useless."

Istarus sighed with some disappointment,

Although Wang Daoyi felt that by saving Istaru from the long river of time, he was in itself repaying the other party for a lot of benefits to him.

But in Istalo's view, saving a life is saving a life, and he wants to repay Wang Daoyi.

Sending the news of Tianli to Wang Daoyi is to complete the retribution, and complete the revenge on Tianli, killing two birds with one stone.

Unfortunately, His message has fallen behind.

"Actually, I do have questions for you." Wang Dao said.

Istalo's eyes lit up, revealing a look of expectation: "Ask quickly, ask quickly." ”

"Do you know the true origin of Tianli?"

Tianli is not a native of Teyvat.

He came to Teyvat very early, but he was still an intruder.

Teyvat is the world of dragons.

If you can figure out the origin of Tianli, then you will have more clues about how to deal with Tianli in the future.

Hearing Wang Daoyi's question, Istalo's eyes lit up slightly, but she quickly frowned again.

"The true origin of Tianli......" Ishtaru pondered, her delicate little face full of thought, "Damn, I don't have this information in my memory. ”

Hearing this, Wang Daoyi was not disappointed,

The origin of Heavenly Principle must be one of His deepest secrets,

And the Celestial Rulers such as Ishstaru were created after Celestial Reason came to Teyvat, which means that the Shadow Rulers such as Ishalo did not know the true origin of Celestial Principles.

Of course, it's hard to say how similar the current Tianli is to the original Fanes.

"Then do you know the arrangement of Tianli in Sky Island?" Wang Daoyi asked again.

If you don't know the origin of Tianli and know the layout on Sky Island, that's also very good.

Ishalo showed a hint of embarrassment, and her two little hands rubbed together unconsciously: "This, that, uh...... Thousands of years ago, does it count? ”

Since the beginning of the new era of reincarnation, Ishtarus has chosen to continue to answer the prayers of mankind, and he has gradually lost his understanding of the Isle of Sky.

In other words, Istarus was abandoned by Tenri.

In the eyes of Tianli, this ruler of time is no longer a good pawn.

A broken chess piece, it is no wonder that Tianli will split Ishtaru's power and let Ishtaru fall into endless weakness.

"......" Wang Daoyi was silent for a moment, and then shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, what do you have to do next?" Continue to fulfill your duties? ”

Facing Wang Daoyi's shaking of his head, Ishtar's delicate little face flushed slightly, knowing that he didn't help anything.

Hearing Wang Daoyi's inquiry again, Ishalo hurriedly spoke: "No, my duty is over, and I am going to find a new life." ”

What are Istaru's duties?

The duty of the Heavenly Reason to the Shadow Ruler must be to maintain the operation of Teyvat and ensure the continuation of human civilization.

And Ishtarus's own role is probably to guide mankind to develop a perfect civilization in the true sense of the word.

It's a pity that now He seems to have failed in both duties.

In addition, his authority has been handed over to Wang Daoyi, although as the ruler of time, he can still use the power of time,

But it's no longer as powerful as it once was.

So, Isharo had decided not to continue his old days.

Next, he may blend into human society and try to see how the most ordinary days are lived.

You may need to work hard for three meals a day, but you can also make friends and drink together.

If you really don't have a place to go......

He has sensed his own free wind,

It would be a good idea to go to him on your own.

Ishalo thought to himself.

"A new life?" Wang Daoyi hesitated for a moment, but nodded anyway, "In that case, then bless you with the life you want, but the situation is not safe at the moment, you better pay attention to safety, and if you have any problems, you can come to Liyue to find me, I will be in Liyue until this year's Lantern Festival." ”

Wang Daoyi was worried that Istaru would be arrested by Tianli again.

After losing the authority of time, Istaru, although he can still mobilize the power of time,

But it really doesn't have to be a weak opponent of Tianli.

Ishalo naturally understood what Wang Daoyi meant,

"Don't worry, I've been walking around Mondstadt recently to see if I can find a job, hehe, I haven't tried a normal job yet."

Wang Dao's eyes flickered slightly, and he was a little speechless in his heart,

Ishalo wants to try his hand at the life of an ordinary person, and even has to look for a job.

This kind of behavior seems to be a child's heart,

But in the eyes of Wang Daoyi, it is tantamount to the rich second generation looking for a job, just to play.

"It's good if you have your own number, I'll go first, see you next time."

Wang Daoyi waved his hand, and the light flashed slightly, and he disappeared in place.

Ishtar saw Wang Daoyi leave,

Then he stretched his waist again, raised his head and glanced around,

"The wind and the sun are beautiful, just right for sightseeing."

The newly revived Consul of Time smiled and disappeared here.

……

Cat's Tail Tavern,

"Diona, another glass of special wine."

There was shouting from the card table in the tavern,

Behind the bar,

Diona pouted with some dissatisfaction, "Damn my lord." ”

Then I took out the cocktail glass and put peppercorns, star anise, and cinnamon into it...... and a series of spices,

Finally, it is dotted with a little juvenile pepper.

A special glass of 'fine wine' is ready.

Although it was not the first time to see Diona bartending, Xiangling still sighed a little,

If you mix like this, if you were someone else, you would definitely be killed.

But on Diona, it is very reasonable.

Even the drinker who had just drunk the wine into his stomach had a happy smile on his face.

Obviously, although Diona was very unkind when she mixed the wine, the wine was still very delicious in the end.

"Well, Diona, give me a special drink."

Wang Daoyi's smiling voice sounded in front of the bar.

"Hey, you're back."

"Brother Daoyi!"

The girls made a sound of surprise.
