"The Khaenria who are considered to be [sinful] and pure-blooded will be cursed with immortality from the gods"

Ed said expressionlessly, "And those citizens who have the bloodlines of other demon gods will be cursed by the wilderness and become monsters in the process of fleeing. ”

Ying: "."

Seeing Ying looking at the hilichurl in silence, Ed sighed and continued, "As you can see, this hilichurl in front of you is my child, illegitimate child, Calybel. ”

"Alas, what I was once ashamed to say and couldn't say can now finally be said openly."

"Because of my blood, I used to be a nobleman in the court of Kanria, but I have never been satisfied with the life arranged for me by my family."

"It wasn't until I met a beautiful woman of Mondstadt blood that I decided she was my true love."

"Caliber has suffered a lot since he was born, and it is because of my selfishness that I have never had the opportunity to accompany him."

Later, he became a hilichurl before my eyes.

"I've always owed him so much, and now I can finally be there for him."

Ying: "."

Ying was silent for a while, then said, "Don't be too sad. ”

It's okay. When you have everything, you feel sad about what you have lost. Ed shook his head and said, "Just like you, if you lose the blessing of the gods one day, will you really be able to adapt?" ”

Ed's words made Ying stunned for a moment, she had never thought about this question, and now she was mentioned by Ed, if she lost her protection, then her life trajectory would be like Ying in the plot, and she would face all kinds of scenes that made her powerless.

Thinking of this, Ying shook her head and said, "I, I don't know. ”

"Hehe, maybe I'm taking this question too seriously." Ed smirked, "And when you've lost almost everything, you'll focus on what you still have." ”

"I still have at least Caliber."

"What are you going to do now?" Ying asked softly.

Ed replied, "Oh yes, I'm just coming back to check on Kalibel's situation and there's still something to do. If you're interested, just follow along. ”

"What do you want me to do?"

"You'll find out with me." With that, Ed walked out of the house.

Ying pondered for a moment, then followed after another look at Calybel.

Ed walked over to a workbench, paused, turned to the screen behind him, and beckoned, "This way." ”

Ying: "."

"You asked me why I brought Kalibel to Sumeru," Ed began, "I'm telling you now because only in Sumeru can I make the [medicine] that Kalibel needs."

"[Medicine] that can restore him to his senses."

"Come to your senses?"

Hearing Ed's words, Ying began to think, during the Chasm, Dainsleif told her that the curse was irreversible, and she thought so at the time, but judging from the Star Apostle made by the tassel, the tassel has the ability to save people from the abyss.

Ying didn't want to say why Tassel had the ability not to save these hilichurls, in her opinion, Tassel has her own opinion on everything, and what decided to make her act should be a matter of position, Tassel is from the perspective of the Seven Gods to deal with general things.

After getting along for so long, Ying also knows that the Seven Gods and Tianli are not in the same camp, although the Seven Gods were selected by Tianli.

Or the seven gods today, including Zhongli, Shadow, Nahida, and Wendy, are all on the side of the tassels

"I don't expect to lift Kalibel's curse, and I know that my strength is not strong enough to shake the judgment of the gods." Ed spoke, "But according to legend, this medicine will use the power of the god of wisdom of Sumeru to awaken the obliterated sanity, which was once used on people suffering from hysteria. ”

"I think it might work."

"Where did you get this news from?"

Ed replied, "There is a certain book in the great library of the court of Kanria. Because this medicine requires the power of the Seven Gods, the book is also listed as a forbidden book. ”

"In my early years, I was dissatisfied with the life of the nobles of the court, and I liked to find excitement very much, so I happened to read that book."

"Can it really be successful?" Ying was skeptical.

"Then what else can I do, what else can I rely on?" Ed roared emotionally, "The gods have already sanctioned us, what is the [Taboo]? ”

Ying: "I'm sorry."

It's okay, if you understand. I'm sorry, but sometimes I have a hard time controlling my emotions, maybe I've lived too long. ”

"As for the synthesis of drugs." Ed sighed and said, "My hands are already a little inflexible, I'm afraid that their inner body is rotting and annoying [Immortal Curse]. ”

"I'll give you this material."

After speaking, Ed took out a blood-red mushroom similar to the shape of the Tree King Relic Mushroom that Ying had seen in the Sumeru Forest before and continued: "Also, do you have some special products that grow in Sumeru?" I remember the names like the Lotus and the Sumeru Rose. ”

"Yes, I've picked some before." Ying replied.

"That's great, the materials are ready." Ed smiled when he heard this, and said, "This is my recorded method of making medicines, please follow the above." ”

Ying took the mushroom that Ed had denied and looked at it carefully, and a faint smell of blood came from the mushroom.

Ying: "."

Ying was silent for a moment, adding the ingredients together in Ed's expectant gaze and rubbing a dark red ball out.

Seeing that Ying was making the pill, Ed hurriedly trotted over and said with an expectant face: "It's done, I've worked hard for you, let me see."

Seeing this, Ying handed over the pill in his hand, and after taking it, Ed took it and looked at it carefully and said, "Well, to be honest, I don't know what this medicine should look like, after all, there is no picture attached to the forbidden book. ”

Well, the moment has finally come. Damn it. ”

Ying looked at Ed with a puzzled expression: "??? ”

"This medicine is not finished yet, there is one last step." Ed replied, "I said that this drug requires the power of the god of wisdom to awaken the sanity."

"So. Let's go and worship the statue of the Seven Heavens. ”

Ying: "."

Let's go." With that, under Ying's surprised gaze, Ed walked in the other direction.

Ying: "??? ”

"Wait, isn't the Seven Heavens Statue here?" Ying hurriedly shouted to Ed, who was leaving in the distance.

"This is not really the Statue of the Seven Heavens." Ed shook his head and said, "Let's go to another Seven Heavens Statue." ”

"Does it make a difference?" Ying asked curiously.

"Yes, I'm not sure if the god in front of me is related to the god of wisdom, and the forbidden book says to use the power of the god of wisdom." Ed replied, "And the breath on your body doesn't give me the feeling that you are a god of wisdom. ”

"I can't put my hatred for the Seven Gods on an unrelated god, it's not good for Kanria, just in case, let's go to the Seven Heavens Idol in the north, although it's a bit of a long way"

Ying: "."

I don't know how Ed felt it, but he said it, and he could only follow his wishes.

Ed: I can feel it, the light on your body is almost blinding my eyes, as long as you are not blind, you can feel it.

After some time, Ying and Ed arrived at the statue of the Seven Heavens in the southern part of the Dense Forest.

"What is this?"

Ying frowned and looked at the statue of the Seven Heavens in front of her, because this was different from the idol of the little grass god in her impression, because the idol in front of her had also become Nahida in the form of a girl.

"The [true] idol of the Seven Heavens." Ed stared at the Seven Heavens Idol in front of him.

"But."

Ed said with a reluctant expression: "Statue. Do you want me to bow my head for this thing?"

Ying: "."

Ying looked at the statue of the Seven Heavens in front of her with a strange face, she always felt that things were not so simple, because after appearing in this dream, everything began to develop in an unknown direction.

"Look at me, gods." Ed stabilized his emotions and shouted to the Seven Heavens Statue, "I will not recite any prayers silently, nor will I praise anything from the heart. ”

"My home was destroyed by you, and my colleagues were devastated by the calamities, but I still stand here today."

"The only thing that has the right to mock me is fate itself."

"God, I no longer try to prove that the sins in my blood have nothing to do with me, but I ask you to have a little mercy on the young and unfortunate."

"My son, Caliber became a monster before he could see anything good in the world, and this really shouldn't be the fate of a young life."

Ed: "."

Ed was silent for a moment and continued, "If all God did in the first place was to make the rebellious Kanria people bow their heads"

"Then I'll bow my head."

"I have abandoned everything I have insisted on in this life."

"Just pray for a little miracle to make Calibel look at the world again."

"Please, gods."

Ying: "."

"Ed."

"What's wrong?" Ed wondered.

"Are all the statues of the Seven Heavens in Sumeru like this?" Ying asked out loud.

"What? Do you think that the statue of the Seven Heavens in front of you is different from what you recognize? Ed was surprised.

"Well, because the Seven Heavens Statue shouldn't be here." The first way of the glow.

"Aren't you seeing a statue of the Seven Heavens with a child holding a ball?"

"No, what I saw was a statue in the form of a standing girl." Ying shook her head and said, "The demeanor and movements of the idol we saw before are almost the same, but this idol is a little immature." ”

Ed: "??? ”

"No, it can't be, you must be lying to me." Ed said in disbelief, "How could I be wrong about the Seven Heavens God Statue?" ”

"Do you know why I don't pray to that person?"

Ying asked curiously, "Why?" ”

"For I have learned from the forbidden books of Kanria that the true gods do not love the world, they do not listen to anyone's prayers, they are powerful, they are indifferent, and they are omnipotent."

"Because they are gods, they have no emotions for people, neither people nor the world, and they have no meaning to them."

"If what you're saying is true, then the matter of Caliber."

"No, let's go, and replace the statue of the Seven Heavens."

Ying: "??? ”

Are you still leaving?

"Ying, do you hear me?" Suddenly, a voice sounded in Ying's mind.

"Nahida? Is that you? ”

"Well, it's me." Nahida replied, "You should be with Klodal now." ”

"You noticed?" Ying was surprised: "And how can the Seven Heavens God Statue here."

"How could I be what I am now, right?" Nahida smiled and said, "Because of the unity of time and space, all the memories in the leylines have been replaced by me now, and the statue of the Seven Heavens God you see is naturally established in my form. ”

"Whether it is the past, the present, or the future, unless I leave this world completely, otherwise, the statue of the Seven Heavens that you see in Sumeru can only be my appearance."

Ying: "."

I don't understand it, but it sounds like it's amazing.

"Nahida, what should he do?"

"Let him go, the Kanria are meant to be," Nahida paused and said, "Although I am one of the seven gods now, I don't want to fulfill the obligations of the seven gods, and I don't want to care about things that have nothing to do with me. ”

"He gave up the chance to redeem himself, so let it be as she wants."

Ying wondered, "Nahida? I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

"It's very simple, we're not gods, we're just powerful people, we also have seven emotions and six desires, we have our own favorite things, we have our own hated things, and of course there are things that have nothing to do with us."

"We don't have compassion for others, we don't hate the world, we just want to live a good life with the people we care about in the future."

Ying: "."

"By the way, another Ying came into this world, and the moment you disappeared, she made contact with Paimon." As she spoke, Nahida suddenly thought of something.

"Huh? What did she come over for? Does she not care over there? ”

"According to what she meant, there is a high probability that she is coming to you." Nahida replied.

"Also, about the [sinners] I met later, you can help me locate them, and I will analyze the specific ingredients of it."

"yes, I see." Ying nodded.

"Still, Nahida, I have a question."

"Any question, you ask, as long as I know can be answered for you." Nahida replied.

Ying pondered for a moment and asked, "Since you know the deeds of this [sinner], why don't you just go and look for it?" ”

"For example, if you have two boxes, one with apples and one without apples, you don't know which of the two boxes has apples and which one doesn't."

Nahida laughed and explained, "When you open one of them, you can determine what's in the other box with or without apples, but if you don't open one of the boxes you can't tell." ”

"Does this have anything to do with this?" Ying wondered, "You can also be sure of this now." ”

"It's different, in this world I understand the world as a subjective being, if I open the box with the idea that there are apples in the box, then there are apples in the box, and I open the box with the idea that there are no apples in the box, then there are no apples in the box."

Ying: "."

"And you are different, you can be sure of the objective truth of this matter, instead of using my subjective thoughts to understand the world." Nahida continued, "Like tassels, the world would turn out to be what she wanted it to be, but she didn't do it, she just let things go in the direction she didn't expect. ”

"The world fixed by God has no life at all, it is like a system that runs according to its trajectory, allowing it to continue to reincarnate in this predetermined result."

Ying: "."

"So we don't interfere with the world, let it develop freely, and you are chosen by her to blow this wind with a predetermined result, so that you have the ability to change the trajectory of the world, and under your influence, the established trajectory of the world will develop in an unexpected direction."

"I see, I see." Ying nodded and said, "Is it an act that made me change in this world?" ”

Speaking of this, Ying asked Nahida seriously, "Nahida, can I do whatever I want?" ”

"Well, it's all right." Nahida affirmed, "As long as you want to do and change, although we will not help you, we will not limit you. ”

Ed, who was on the side, saw that Ying was still stunned under the statue of the Seven Heavens, and hurriedly shouted to him: "Hey, traveler, are you okay, why have you stood under the statue of the Seven Heavens for so long, it's time for us to go."

Ying responded, "Well, here it is." ”

Outside, Paimon struck up a friendly conversation with another Ying.

"So that's what the Abyss Order is." Paimon nodded thoughtfully when he heard Ying's words, "But, if you're like that, how can that world go on?" ”

"Without me, I guess it will be smoother, and besides, there are a few more people to help watch." Ying spread his hands and replied.

"Well, okay, it's just that there are two Ying, what should I call it?" Paimon scratched his head and said, "If anyone else sees you."

"Don't worry, I'll act in secret, because I'm used to it." Ying shook her head.

Paimon nodded and said, "Okay then, anyway, when will she be back." ”

"What, in a hurry?"

"It's a little bit." Paimon replied.

"I don't know, because according to the plot, she won't disappear but will go straight into the dream." Ying rubbed her chin and thought, "So, I suspect she may have crossed over again this time"

"Why can you be so sure?" Paimon asked curiously.

"Because, the past is changing." Ying replied, "If the past has changed, the future will change with it." ”

"You see, change is already starting to happen."

"What. Change"

"This, this is?" Paimon exclaimed.

"Wait, how could it be, why did it happen to you when she made the change?" Looking at Ying, who was beginning to exude the abyssal aura from his body, Paimon cried out with a worried expression.

"I, I don't know." Ying hugged her head in pain and muttered, "Purify, purify——! ”

"Ying, are you alright?"

Ying covered her head with one hand and stopped Paimon, who was about to fly in front of her, and said, "Paimon, stop, don't come near me"
