Chapter 329: A Different Statue of the Seven Heavens
"Come and see her world." Ying replied.
Sora was surprised, "You're also from outside the world?" Why are you exactly the same as Ying? β
"Because I'm Ying, a Ying whose fate is different from that of another world." Ying replied.
"You're here for Ying?" Sora asked with a wary face.
"Of course, why don't we fight? If you lose, I'll be back. After speaking, Ying Zaikong's confused eyes took out a golden crescent moon sword.
Sora: "??? β
The emptiness of the other world, you listen to what she says, can't you take care of it? She's going to grab my sister with me!
Sora looked at Ying in front of him for a long time, and finally didn't take out his sword, not for anything else, because he wouldn't make a move on his sister, even if it was Ying from another world.
Seeing this, the Abyss Apostle couldn't help but ask, "Your Royal Highness, this."
"Let's go."
"Yes"
With that, the Apostle of Void and Abyss turned and left the place.
"Huh? Just gone? Ying blinked, she had thought that the void of this world would fight with her.
After thinking for a moment, Ying asked the Abyss Apostle, "Do you know where she is?" β
"Your Royal Highness Princess, come with me."
On the other side, Ying and Dainsleif investigated the room for a while.
"Dain, is it really here? How come I didn't notice anything wrong? Paimon asked, scratching his head.
Dainsleib pondered for a moment and replied, "Although my memory is a little vague, my subconscious and instinct have been telling me what is indeed happening here. β
"Well, an aimless investigation will only drain the mind. It just so happened that I heard some movement outside, so I might as well go out first. β
Paimon wondered, "Something?" Could it be?"
"It's nothing, it should be some trash fish." Dainsleib replied flatly.
When a few people walked out of the room, they found that some slimes and hilichurls had appeared outside that had not been there before.
"Sure enough, a monster appeared, Dain not only has a smart nose, but also a good ear, not like a person who is hundreds of years old at all." Paimon scratched his head and said, "Well, but Dain doesn't go beyond common sense for a long time. Let's clean up these monsters first! β
Dainsleif: ."
How do I feel that you don't like you're complimenting me, but you're connotating me?
In an instant, Ying cleaned up the monsters in front of him, and Dainsleib touched his chin and analyzed: "The appearance of those monsters just now should not be accidental. There's something around here that really attracts them. β
"It's an anomaly in the leylines, and it doesn't seem to be the only one."
Speaking of this, Dainsleif suddenly thought of something, and proposed to Ying and Paimon, "In this case, I'll go a little farther away to investigate the problem of the nearby leylines, it may take a long time, you guys are waiting for me here." β
"Hey, do you want to go by yourself? Is there something to hide from us! Paimon shouted in surprise.
"Boring suspicion, I just think that the focus of the investigation is still near this room after all, and it is better for someone to stay and observe."
"What's more, investigating the leylines is something that a ranger can do, and I'm more than enough for one person."
After listening to Dainsleif's explanation, Paimon said with a hesitant face, "Well, well, that's right, then Ying and the two of us are camping here, right?" β
"There's still a fence fire over there, let's light it up and make something to eat!" I'm already hungry when I'm running around today. β
Ying: "."
Ying was hungry too, so she prepared Paimon's portion.
But this time, Paimon didn't gobble up the delicious food like before, but lost his mood after eating two bites, and just lowered his head and trumpeted the food in front of him.
"Paimon, isn't today's food delicious?" Ying glanced at Paimon, who was not in the right state, and wondered.
Paimon shook his head and said, "No, the food you cook is delicious, and I can't get enough of it every day." β
"Then why don't you eat it?"
Paimon was silent for a while, then raised his head and said to Ying, "Ying, I remember that when you go to bed at night, you will enter that space, can't you really take me with you?" β
"That doesn't seem to be something I can decide." Ying sighed and said, "Moreover, the current me is different from the previous me, and it is still a question whether I can enter that dream tonight." β
"Okay then." Paimon replied in a disappointed tone.
Ying: "."
"Let's try first, Paimon, you're on guard, I'll go to sleep." Ying was silent for a moment before speaking to Paimon.
"Huh? All right. Paimon scratched his head and said, "If there's any problem, call me!" β
"Got it, don't worry."
Ying nodded, found a place that was not open, laid a bunk, and slept over.
Sure enough, as soon as she entered the dream, Ying felt that her head was groggy, and there was a sense of detachment from time and space, which she was familiar with, because under the influence of tassels, crossing was not once or twice for her.
Paimon looked at where Ying was asleep, a little worried, but she didn't dare to go inside to check, she was afraid that she would see Ying disappear as soon as she entered.
"Well, Paimon you have to believe in yourself, even if you don't believe in yourself, you have to believe in the ability of the tassel, she will come back, I just need to keep this night and see her the next day"
Paimon kept muttering in place with her back to Ying, while also alerting her surroundings to wake her up if something went wrong.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, this is it."
At this time, Ying, who was with the Star Apostle, also noticed Ying's gradually disappearing figure: "She disappeared? β
"Her Royal Highness the Princess? This."
"It's okay, that's to be expected." Ying waved her hand and said, "Presumably the emptiness of my world has also experienced this, right?" β
"Is it the information that the Divine Seat gave you that you know?" The Star Apostle hesitated for a moment, then asked Ying.
"Well, there are some things you don't need to know, just follow her." Ying said, "You continue to search around the neighborhood according to her wishes, and I will meet this little thing." β
"Yes!"
Ying walked towards Paimon's position step by step, because she didn't deliberately lower her footsteps, so that Paimon also noticed the strangeness behind him.
"Ying, are you awake? Didn't you enter that dream? Paimon asked as Paimon looked at Ying walking towards him, a little confused.
"She's already in that dream." Ying replied.
"Did she enter that dream?" Paimon first glanced at Ying in front of him suspiciously, then suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed, "You, you're not the Ying I know?" β
"So to speak." Ying nodded, "But the Ying you know knows knows me." β
Paimon suddenly said, "Oh! I know, you're Her Royal Highness the princess of the Abyss Order of the parallel world that Ying mentioned before. β
"No, let me correct me, now I am not the princess of the Abyss Order, and I don't have that strong sense of mission to overthrow the principles of heaven." Ying replied, "Now I just want to work hard to improve myself and then move on to the next starry sky." β
"Hehe, you really think the same, whether it's Ying, who I know well, or you, the idea is the same." Paimon nodded, "Speaking of which, I just don't know what the emptiness of this world thinks. β
On the other hand, after entering the dream, she also woke up from the dream after the sense of detachment disappeared completely.
"Ah~" Ying stretched and said, "Just in the morning?" By the way, Paimon? I don't know if I've entered that dream-like space. β
"Click-click-"
Ying: "??? β
"Well, there was a noise in the room, so I should have made it, but why didn't I meet Dain?"
Ying shook her head and said, "But fortunately, the Skynet given by the tassel is still there, as if no matter where I enter, whether it is a dream or another world, this object called Skynet seems to always be with me." β
"Don't think about this for now, I just don't know if the thing called [Sin] that I encountered later, can I absorb it, so if I can't do it, ask for help, anyway, it's not the first time."
Ying thought for a moment and walked towards the edge, when she was playing the game before, no matter how she walked, she couldn't leave this area, if it was a real thing, then she wouldn't wait for Paimon and Dain, because here, she wouldn't have met the two of them at all.
"Wait, that's the Grass God?" Ying suddenly found that the statue of the Seven Heavens standing not far away was not Nahida's appearance, but a tassel?
"Why not Nahida? Although Sumeru's original statue of the Seven Heavens has also been replaced because Nahida has grown taller, she is still a little different from the tassel. β
After walking outside for a long time, Ying was blocked by an invisible barrier: "Sure enough, there is an invisible barrier here that stops my steps, so in this case, I can only go back there to contact the person who founded the Abyss Order." β
After a while, Ying returned to the bottom of the house, opened the door and peeked inside, only to see a hilichurl lying on his bed curled up in pain.
"What do you want to do?!"
Ying: "? β
Ying turned around and saw a man looking at her with a serious face and said, "You saw it, right?" It's not what you think, and you don't have to be nosy! Get out of here! β
"Uh, I'm here to find my traveling companion." Ying explained.
"Your travel companion. Is that the one who stayed by your side last night? Listening to Ying's words, the man thought for a moment and replied.
"I went to the forest early in the morning, I saw it with my own eyes."
"So what are you doing here? And the hilichurls inside."
Ying wanted to say something, but was ruthlessly interrupted by the man: "What do you care about so much, in short, I requisitioned it first, and what I do here is none of your business." β
"If you understand, leave quickly."
Ying: "."
What should I do, I kind of want to beat him up, but something unexpected happened to beat him, so how to solve it?
Just as Ying was thinking, the man turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" Why don't you leave? β
"I'll wait here for my traveling companions to come back." Ying replied.
"Alas, I obeyed you, I really can't help you." Hearing Ying's words, the man's tone relaxed a little and said, "Okay, I've secretly observed you too, you really don't look like a forest ranger, and you're not from the Akademiya." β
"I warn you, don't do anything superfluous. If you say yes, it's up to you. β
"I'm not a good person, and I'm certainly not a bad person."
The man waved his hand indifferently and said, "Okay, okay, then you give way, I'm going in." β
"Can I go in with you? It's a bit cold outside. Ying asked.
"You"
At first, the man was a little angry when he heard Ying's words, but as if he thought of something, he suddenly sighed and changed his mood and said, "Hey, forget it, whatever, you saw it before, and I won't hide it from you." β
Ying: "."
After following the man into the room, Ying glanced at the hilichurls lying on the bed and asked, "What are you doing with the hilichurls at home?" β
"Ask less about superfluous things, and you can rest assured that he is not offensive in any way."
The man said flatly: "Anyway, don't think about beating him, if you are tired and cold, find a corner to rest first." β
Ying clicked on Skynet and read into his own lines: "You are. Kanria people, right? β
"Huh?"
Ying's words really made the face of the man who had been flat before suddenly become serious again.
"You actually know Kamria. Who the hell are you? How can you tell I'm from Kanria? β
"Because I've seen other Kanrias." Ying replied unhurriedly, "You Kanria people have special eyes. β
Man: "."
"I believe in God, and I am a devout believer in God." Ying replied without hesitation.
Man: "??? β
"You're so disappointed that you believe in those hypocritical gods!" The man looked at Ying in disbelief and said in an extremely excited tone.
Ying: "."
After a while, the man seemed to have calmed down, and asked Ying a little indifferently, "Which god do you believe in?" β
"The one." Ying gestured to the statue of the Seven Heavens outside, which was different from the real Teyvat.
Man: "."
"This is a non-existent God, what do you believe in Him?"
"A god who doesn't exist?"
This time it was Ying's turn to be a little surprised.
"Since you don't believe in the gods I know." The man did not reply to Ying's words, but changed the subject: "My name is Ed, and as you said, I was once a Kanria. β
"I apologize for my bad attitude towards you before. Because in my eyes, all human beings in this world, except for the believers of the seven gods, are almost extinct."
And the believers of the gods are enemies."
Hearing this, Ying asked suspiciously: "However, I obviously told you before that I believe in the gods on the Seven Heavens God Statue outside, why are you?"
"Let me explain, Sumeru exists in many statues of the Seven Heavens, but the one in front of us is inconsistent with the others." Ed replied.
"Won't the people of Sumeru find anything abnormal?" Ying was surprised.
"You're seeing an adult god, not a young god, right?" Ed casually asked, "Can you describe to me what that statue looks like?" β
"Well, she's tall, she just doesn't make any other movements, just stands there quietly, staring straight ahead." Ying replied honestly.
"Looks like you're just like me." Ed breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Indeed, what we see is the idol of an adult god, and what the other Sumeru people see is not what we see. β
"I don't think there is this one among the seven gods, and even this world doesn't have any deeds about him."
"That's why I say that he is a god who does not exist in this world."
"However, after your reaction and my later words, I can be sure that you have seen this god."
Ying: "."
The development of things seems to be a bit unexpected.,Can you delete the file from the beginning.γ
"Forget it, it doesn't matter anymore." Seeing Yingying's silence, Ed sighed and continued: "Anyway, since the Karma of Kanria, there have not been many opportunities to chat with people like you. β
"Damn the [Curse of Immortality], I don't know how long these days will last."
"What exactly is the Curse of Immortality?" Ying asked.
After Luofu Xianzhou and Dainsleif's explanations, she also understood that this kind of [Immortal Curse] and [Immortality] were not a good thing compared to the true immortality of the gods, but she still didn't understand these things.
"The Curse of Immortality is a gift from the god's bastard to the Kanria."
Ed explained: "We lost our homes, we lost our loved ones, we lost everything. The suffering caused by the cataclysm was already unbearable, and the Curse of Immortality deprived it of all liberation. β
"I can only watch my soul and body slowly wear down and decay."
Ying: "."
"The definition of [Kanria] is not just a person who has the original bloodline of Kanria."
"Those who turn their backs on the gods will also be accepted as citizens when they come to Kanria."
Speaking of this, Ed paused and continued, "And you, the believer of the gods, no, can be said to be the one favored by the gods. β
"What. Who the gods favor? Ying wondered.
"I can see the golden light that will never go out on you, your soul, your body is protected by this eternal golden light."
Ying: "??? β
"Judging by your appearance, you don't know your own secrets, do you?" Ed looked at Ying with a confused expression and continued.
"Why do you say that?"
"Hehe, you're so lucky, it's no wonder you say you're a devout believer." Ed said with some self-deprecation, "It would be nice if Kanria had such a god to protect her."
"Wait, I don't understand, you said you hate gods, so why?"
"The seven gods are not the same kind of gods as the gods who protect you, the seven gods are just false gods, and this is the true god, only the true god can bring people true eternity, and ensure that the body and soul will not be worn out by the passage of time."
"True God, False God?"
"It's just my thoughts, and it doesn't mean that my views are accurate." Ed shook his head and said, "You don't have the slightest shackles of restriction on your body, you are completely different from the believers of the Seven Gods, you are a true free being, I guess this god will not interfere with any of your actions, nor will it force you to do anything, right?" β
"You can't say that, can you? I still have something to do. β
"Are these things that are required by the gods beneficial or harmful to you?"
Ying didn't think about it, so she replied, "It's beneficial." β
Although Ed knew something, but when he got the answer from Ying's mouth, he still said with some amazement: "Yes, this is also the gap between gods and gods. β
Ying: "."
