"Hehe, he must have the ability to carry out the death sentence against me." Tassel said with a smile.

Paimon scratched his head and said, "Well, it seems to make sense. ”

"So, what does the book say?" Paimon asked curiously.

Tassel looked at Paimon with a meaningful look and said, "Paimon, do you want to listen too, you're very weak, and it won't be good if you are discovered by the gods of Sky Island." ”

Paimon hurriedly nodded and said, "Of course you want to see it, Ying, you want to see it too, right?" ”

"Well, I'm curious too, but Sky Island isn't something I can deal with right now." Ying said that there was some hesitation in the back.

"Then try to become stronger, in this small place on the Teyvat continent, I can still protect you." Tassel replied nonchalantly.

Ying nodded fiercely and said, "Hmm! ”

The tassel reads: "[The Year of the Pigeon]"

"The eternal throne in heaven has arrived, and the world has been renewed. Then the True King, the primordial one, began to wage war with the masters of the Old World, the Seven Terror Kings. The terrifying kings are dragons. ”

"The first One made his own shadow of light. And the number of shadows is four. ”

"Sure enough, the throne on Sky Island is an outsider, did they kill someone who knew about it to cover up something?" Listening to Tassel's words, Paimon touched his chin and said.

"I think it's to cover up the truth that he's an outsider, as if creatures like dragon lizards are the natives of Teyvat, and the most powerful ones are those dragons."

"What's that one that creates four glowing shadows?" Ying asked curiously.

"I think it should be the four gods who hold the authority of life, death, time, and space." Tassel guessed.

Tassel continued to read according to the text: "[Phanes, or the original one]"

"The original one, perhaps, is Phanes. It has wings and a crown on its head, and is born from an egg, making it difficult to distinguish between male and female. But if the world is to be created, the eggshell must be broken. Phanes, the primordial One, separated the universe from the microcosm of the world with an eggshell. ”

"It turns out that the original one's name is Fanes, and it doesn't sound like a human when it sounds, is it a monster with wings?" Ying thought.

"I don't see anything here, so I'll keep looking."

"[More than 40 years after the branch]"

"Forty winters buried the fire, forty summers boiled the sea. All seven kings were defeated, and all seven kingdoms bowed down to heaven. The first king began the creation of heaven and earth. For [us], its most pitiful people will reappear in this land. ”

"[More than 400 Years of Branches]"

"Mountains and rivers were formed, and the sea and ocean received rebels and disobedients. The original One and a shadow made birds, beasts, and fishes. Together, they also create flowers and trees. Eventually, they made man. The number of our fathers is unknown.

From this time on, our parents made a covenant with the First One. The chronology has also changed. ”

"Well, this is the birth of man, which means that there was no one before Teyvat, and it was the original one who created man." Paimon said, touching his chin.

"[The Year of the Opening of the Box Boat]

The original One had a divine plan for man. As long as man is happy, he rejoices.

[The year after the opening of the box boat]

People plough, the first harvest. People dig and reap the precious gold for the first time. People gathered and wrote poetry for the first time.

【The Year of Carnival】

If there is a hunger, food and rain fall from heaven. If there is barrenness, then the earth will give birth to mineral deposits. If melancholy spreads, then the high heavens will respond with a voice.

The only forbidden thing is to lose to temptation. But the channel of temptation has been blocked.

With the help of primordial beings, the ancestors of mankind lived a life of great material and spiritual abundance. Originally, it was forbidden to be attracted to temptation, and at that time people thought that nothing could tempt them. ”

Paimon continued, "It sounds like the original One is the equivalent of the God of Creation, and so many things were created by Him. ”

Tassel continued: "[Year of the Burial Fire]

The second throne in heaven arrives, as if the great war at the beginning of creation has been renewed. On that day the heavens fell and the earth was torn apart. The ancestors of our people of the abyss, and the land where they had lived for generations, fell here.

This is where the dark ages begin.

With the arrival of the second alien race, the first and the shadows and the second generation of gods started a second war. At the same time, the ancestors of the people of Haiyuan also sank under the sea abyss with this land, and began to live without seeing the sun and the moon. ”

Paimon touched his chin and analyzed, "These people from the abyss should be the ancestors of the people on Watatsumi Island today, right?" ”

Ying nodded and said, "It should be, but I can't be sure, because it's been too long." ”

"Also, this dates back to before the Demon God War, when the Seven Gods didn't have it." Paimon nodded.

Tassel spoke: "Whether they are or not, it doesn't matter to us, we just read a history book, although this book is a forbidden book." ”

Paimon: "."

Ying: "."

It's a forbidden book that you still read, and you also asked us to read it together, we don't have the strength of you, if we are caught by Tianli, it won't be the end of the calf directly.

Tassel looked at the silent Paimon and Ying and continued, "[Dark First Year]

The people of the seven great kings were accepted by the sea, and the dragon heirs of the deep sea once ruled here. Our ancestors fought against them.

The ancestors used a thousand lamps to chase them into the shadows, and they hunted humans in the shadows. There is only darkness here, so everywhere is their hunting ground.

The prayers of the people merged into lamentations, and the original One and the other three shining shadows could not be heard. ”

"The only one who has not forsaken us is the Reign of Time. She is the moment, the moment, the measure of a thousand winds and the sun and the moon. She is the time of all rejoicing, the time of all anger, the time of all desire, the time of all madness. She is the moment of all delirium.

We call her Kairos, or Ruler and Ruler of the Immutable World. The name of the real secret, we dare not say it directly, so here it is written backwards. Lutasiah - I'll mention it only once. ”

"Istaru!" Paimon exclaimed suddenly.

Ying asked suspiciously, "What's wrong, Paimon?" ”

"Nothing, nothing." Paimon hurriedly waved his hand in reply.

"Yes, I always feel suspicious that you know this Archon of Time named Istarus?" Yinghu looked at Paimon suspiciously.

Paimon said with a somewhat evasive look in his eyes, "Ahaha, how is it possible, this god has been away from us for so long, how long has it been since I was born." ”

"So what are you yelling for? I thought you knew. Flashing at Paimon, she said.

Paimon: "."

Tassel glanced at Paimon and continued, "[Year of the Blind]

[The year of the eye, or the first year of the sun and the moon]

[The second year of the sun and the moon]

The ancestors tried to find a way back. The great war on the surface should be over.

But the first one, the first throne, laid down the ban. The ancestors could not find their way home.

If this is the case, then the original one should have defeated the second one.

Abrak was imprisoned by order of the Children of the Sun. ”

The Parable of the Tree

The king's gardener fell in love with the tree spirits of the royal garden. But if the king wants to build a new carved beam of the pavilion, he needs to cut down the most spiritual wood. The king is the incarnation of the original one, so the gardener cannot disobey the king of kings, but can only pray to the king's priests. Priests are the embodiment of the great gods of the ages.

And the priest had pity on the gardener, and said, Go and break off the branches of the tree of the spirit." The gardener went to break the branches, and then cut down the spirit wood at the king's orders.

Then the priest said, "Go and plant the branches of the spirit tree." The gardener said that it takes five hundred years for the spirit tree to grow. The priest said, "One thought is a thousand dooms." So the gardener planted branches in his backyard. As a result, in an instant, the twigs grew into a new tree, and the new tree was a continuation of the former tree spirit.

Because the god of that moment can bring the "moment" of the "seed" to the past and the future. ”

"I'm done, do you feel anything?" Tassel closed the book and said to the two of them.

"The latter one is a little incomprehensible, if it is said that the original one defeated the first one, but why is there a second throne?" Ying wondered.

Paimon nodded and agreed, "yes, yes, and these are all written in fairy tales, our current knowledge and experience, I don't know what is written here, why don't you give me an answer to the tassel?" ”

Tassel moistened his throat and said: "I won't say the previous one, literally, there is no deeper meaning, I only know a little about this, so I will analyze it, you just listen, don't take it seriously." ”

"Uh-huh." Paimon and Ying nodded at the same time.

Tassel opened his mouth and analyzed: "One thing can be determined from the passage of the first year of darkness recorded in the book, that is, the first throne and the others except Istarus did not hear their request, and I can guess here that the original one and its three shadows may have been caught in some kind of incident, and of course it may not be prepared to care about the life or death of these abyssal people. ”

"I can understand the original one who doesn't care whether the people of the sea abyss live or die, but what do you mean when you say that they are caught in some kind of incident?" Ying wondered.

"We're in Teyvat." Tassel said.

Paimon wondered, "yes, what's the problem?" ”

"Why not the world of Teyvat, or the planet Teyvat?" Tassel said with a smile.

"I see, there are other continents outside of Teyvat, Tassel, that's what you mean, right?" Ying's eyes lit up and she said to the tassel.

"That's right, why is Teyvat called Teyvat, in Ying's parlance, Teyvat is just a continental plate, and the places outside Teyvat are unknown."

Tassel nodded, "If my guess is correct, the area outside of Teyvat is polluted by something, so it is not suitable for people to live, and everything there may be monsters." ”

"You mean that Honkai has eroded the world?" Ying asked.

"I'm not sure if it's an abyss, but what I can surmise is that the pollution is somehow related to the so-called Honkai."

Paimon scratched his head and said, "Is that so?" ”

Tassel suddenly smiled meaningfully at Ying, "Ying, you should know another meaning of Teyvat, right?" ”

Ying Nian muttered for a moment, and suddenly exclaimed, "Teyvat, Teyvat, which translates to the Ark!" ”

"Yes, in another language you know, it literally translates to the meaning of the ark, isn't it a coincidence?"

Ying was shocked, "You mean that Teyvat is the only remaining ark in this world?" That is, the last refuge of mankind? ”

"It's about the same as you think, that one seems to want to save the continent, because the development of Teyvat will bring something terrifying, and in the end, the hope is that in eternity without beginning and end, humanity will live a dreamless life."

"So with the Seven Gods, and Sky Island, what it hopes is that people can live their lives quietly under its arrangement."

"Of course, its will is not absolute, there is always a place where the gods can't look at, and where the gods can't look at it, there are people who want to dream secretly, and unknown dreams often lead to new crises."

Ying asked, "You mean Dainsleif and the Abyss?" ”

Tassel nodded: "It can be understood that these people who secretly dream include, but are not limited to, those who gain power from outside the world. ”

"What about the tassel you?" Paimon asked at the tassel.

Tassel smiled and asked, "I can wake up, why dream?" ”

Paimon scratched his head and said, "Oh yes." ”

Listening to Paimon and Tassel's words, Ying fell into deep thought.

"Hahaha, don't be so serious, it's all my guess, what if the facts are exactly the opposite of what I said?" Tassel said with a smile.

"It is possible that the original one was there to protect this world, and my existence and coming was to destroy this world."

"Tassels don't think that's going to do that, right?" Paimon said seriously to the tassel.

Tassel sighed and said, "Who knows? After all, I'm a more terrifying existence than the abyss. ”

Paimon: "."

Ying: "."

"Alright, that's the end of the chat, is there anything else you need my help with? If not, I'm going to take a stroll around Enxia Palace. ”

Ying thought for a while, shook her head and said, "No." ”

Paimon suddenly said, "Tassel, what are you shopping in Yuanxia Palace?" Is there something that makes you curious as well? ”

"I think this big day is very good, I'm thinking about how to move it up." Tassel thought as he touched his chin.

Paimon said with a shocked face, "Hey, don't use this, there's the sun outside, what are you doing with this?" ”

"You make sense, but I'm going to give it a try." After saying that, the tassel disappeared.

After the tassel's figure disappeared in front of Ying and Paimon, it appeared on the edge of a cliff on a floating island in the Enxia Palace.

"Well, Yuanxia Palace? If you don't know what's down there, drop a branch and explore the way. With that, she took out a golden branch from the space and threw it at the bottomless nothingness.

"That's pretty much it, let's see if there is a place suitable for fishing in Yuanxia Palace, not to mention that the scenery here is still okay." After speaking, the figure of the tassel disappeared in place.

At the same time, Ying and Paimon, who are still in the same place

"Let's collect the bloodbranch corals first, and then move on to the next trial." Paimon looked at the familiar sky and said to Ying.

"Hmm." Ying nodded and went to collect the bloodbranch corals on the Deep Sea Dragon Lizard.

"Hmm, what do you think of what the tassel said?" Paimon asked, thinking for a moment.

"I don't have any ideas, what she said is just a guess, until the last moment, no one can say for sure what the outcome will be." Ying shook her head.

"I mean, what would you do if, as Tassel says, she was the one who destroyed Teyvat?" Paimon asked.

Ying thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll run away from Teyvat and find a new place." ”

"Wow, didn't you think to stop her?" Paimon asked, surprised.

Ying glanced at Paimon and said, "You're here to stop it?" People are so strong, if they really plan to destroy the Teyvat Continent, how can I stop it with my strength. Being cannon fodder? ”

Paimon: "."

When Ying said this, Paimon felt that what she said made sense, and his little face suddenly collapsed.

Looking at Paimon, who was grim-faced, Ying thought for a moment and said with relief, "Let's not talk about anything else, just look at her appearance, will she be someone who thinks like this?" So I think it's even less likely that tassels will destroy the world than the abyss will overthrow the throne. ”

"You, what you say, make a point." Paimon said with a tangled face.

"You don't have to think so much, the tassel is so strong, if we really have an idea, we can't resist, since she has good intentions towards us, let's not speculate about others, it's rude."

"The definition of a good person and a bad person is not so absolute, for example, there is a person who is very good to you, she can satisfy you with whatever you want to eat and want, but she is indeed an evil demon in the eyes of others, what do you think?"

Paimon thought for a moment and said, "Well, this, this, I'll still stand by her side." ”

After collecting the Blood Branch Coral, Ying said to Paimon, "So, if a bad guy has been pretending to be a good person until he dies, then he is a good person, don't look at other people's evaluations, but look at your own evaluation of her, you know?" ”

"No, Ying, why do you know this, and you gave me so many analogies, you didn't speak before." Paimon pondered Ying's words for a moment and felt that it made sense, and she also found a blind spot.

Ying replied with a smile: "Of course I know this from the tassel, people who know these are not too bad, if the tassel is a villain and a villain with ideals and aspirations, this kind of villain is not annoying, except for emptiness, of course." ”

"I'll just say it, but why exclude your blood brother?" Paimon wondered as he heard Ying's words.

Ying said reasonably: "Because he treats me badly, he is a person in the Abyss Order, and he didn't take me with him when he happened so much in Kanria before, and when he came out, he was caught by the maintainer of Heavenly Reason, and then he became what he is now, so I hate him." ”

Paimon nodded approvingly, "Well, what you said makes sense, such a brother is really incompetent, you still looked for him before, if you can, give him a sword next time." ”

"Yes, I think so too, give him a sword next time we meet, and let him be a villain alone without me." Ying said excitedly.

"Hey, the topic is wrong, why don't you be a villain?" Paimon complained helplessly.

"Haha, in fact, I think it's okay to be a decent or a villain, it mainly depends on what I want to do, but now I just want to be an ordinary traveler."

"Let's go and find Luzi to recover, and then go back to rest."
