When the collapse stops, Sasuke and Paimon return to the space.

The huge hedron was still suspended in mid-air, but the scene around it had completely changed.

It was in ruins.

And the mechanical serpent, which was made up of gear parts, was completely buried in the rubble.

However, the black mud produced by the strange snake before also dissipated.

"Looks like it's over."

Paimon breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the dust had fallen.

Is it really over?

Sasuke frowned.

"Do you know what that thing is? Paimon? ”

He asked.

"Huh? Paimon doesn't know wow. ”

"I just think that we cleaned up that big guy with that big rock, and the bad guys of the Abyss Order also failed in their plan and left here."

"That's at least enough to quiet the Chasm for a while, right?"

Still with those big clear eyes, looking at Sasuke with blazing eyes.

Sasuke didn't see any clues in Paimon's expression.

However, judging by the details and clues he had discovered before, Paimon must have something to do with the hedron that Wendy called 'Nail'.

At the same time, the spar and the black mud seem to have a mutually restrained relationship.

The hedron melts and dissolves the black mud, and the hedron seems to be able to be corrupted by the black mud.

The abyss has a relationship with the black mud, so it is the opposite of the abyss...... Should it be Tianli?

Paimon must have some connection with Heavenly Principles.

But it's useless to think about it now, Paimon doesn't want to say anything now, and Sasuke doesn't want to force it.

……

The matter was settled for the time being, and Sasuke instigated Ryutsugai all the way up and back to the surface.

At this time, at the door of the secret passage, Zhongli and Wendy were there, and when they saw Sasuke coming up, Zhongli didn't say anything, just nodded towards Sasuke.

Wendy, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said:

"Oh, Sasuke, you've finally come up, you've been down long enough this time, if you don't come up again, Liyue may be in for a big scare."

Scare? What scare?

Seeing Sasuke's unexplained expression, Wendy grinned.

"You said that the people of Liyue, who had just finished the Immortal Sending Ceremony, would be frightened if they suddenly felt the divine power of the Rock Emperor again?"

"Right? Old man? ”

As he spoke, he squeezed his eyebrows at Zhongli.

Feel the divine power of the Rock King again?

Zhongli, who was teased like this, only smiled faintly.

"It's okay, just postpone retirement for a while."

These words were debunked by Wendy without hesitation.

"Oh? Sasuke, don't look at what the old man said lightly now, don't you know, he has been walking around just now, and he didn't have to be so nervous when the Demon God War was in the past, right? ”

Zhongli's hands raised a finger slightly.

In an instant, Wendy's expression changed.

"Oh, I probably haven't rested for too long, read wrong."

"By the way, Sasuke, let's get down to business, what happened to you after being down there for so long?"

Seeing that Wendy finally started to get down to business, Zhongli lifted his finger again.

What is this?

Sasuke couldn't laugh or cry.

He had guessed a little from Wendy's words, and during the time he was underneath, Zhongli was worried about himself.

Not only did he come after him, but when he didn't come up for a long time, the other side seemed to be planning to temporarily abandon his retirement plan and return to power.

Probably because I'm worried about what will happen to you in the Chasm?

There seemed to be a warm current flowing through my chest.

Then he summed up what happened in the underground after that.

From encountering the discovery of the Black Mist, to encountering the Abyss Princesses and their purification devices, to the hedron 'nails' wrapped in black mud.

After telling the story, Sasuke asked the confusion in his heart:

"Wendy, before you go down, you said that hedron is a nail, what the hell is this?"

Hearing Sasuke's question, Wendy first looked at Zhongli, and after Zhongli nodded slightly, Wendy spoke:

"That nail is actually a prop against the abyss, and it mended the rift in Teyvat in the distant past."

"The black mud used by the princess of the Abyss Order is another form of existence of forbidden knowledge, a product of the same origin as the abyss."

"For the power of Teyvat, which should not exist, it has the ability to purify and stabilize it."

What is forbidden knowledge?

When Sasuke asks this question, he finds Wendy looking up again.

It's still a familiar action.

But it's also an answer.

Sasuke combined the ruins underneath, the nails there, and a large amount of black mud, judging from the fact that the demise of this ancient civilization under the Chasm should be related to forbidden knowledge.

But the power of Wendy's mouth that shouldn't be in Teyvat made Sasuke feel like something else.

There should be no power in Teyvat......

Then his own chakra, there should also be no power in Teyvat, right?

But when I came into contact with that spar, I didn't have anything to do.

Wait a minute......

Teyvat's power is elemental power.

And now the power he used, after combining with the Seven Heavens God Statue, became the elemental force chakra......

At that time, Paimon also said that the elements of this world have answered your prayers, which I think is a good sign.

I see......

For a moment, Sasuke felt a sense of lightness.

At this time, Zhongli suddenly said abruptly:

"Sasuke, I remember that your main attack is related to thunder, right?"

This sentence made Sasuke a little confused.

He nodded.

"Hmm."

"Your name style is also very similar to that of Inazuma in our world, and the ruling gods over there also happen to use the thunder attribute."

"When you're done repairing here, it's time to leave for Inazuma."

"Now that the matter is settled here, let's go back to Liyue and take a rest."

Zhongli wouldn't say such a thing for no reason, it was more like a hint.

In particular, the topic touched on forbidden knowledge, as well as the Isle of Skye.

At the same time, he felt as if he was gradually touching some of the veins of this world.

Paimon, the idol of the Seven Heavens, the elemental power chakra, and his own chakra.

Empty, glowing, abyss, kanria......

Everything seems to be gradually concatenated.

……

This time, the execution time of the Chasm was not very long, but the energy consumed was really not small.

Sasuke returns to Liyue with Wendy Thousand Winds, takes a good shower, and then feasts on a hearty meal with Paimon.

On the way back, Sasuke learns that Zhiqiong has been sent back to Liyue by Wendy, and at the same time gives the girl with excellent drawing skills a wind-attribute vision.

With the gods' gaze, she would be much more sure if she wanted to go on his expedition again.

That's good news.

At the same time, through this incident, Sasuke also figured out something that he hadn't figured out before.

About that heartbeat.

Before, he wondered why he had helped the gods so much, whether it was Wendy, Zhongli, or the original Paimon.

That voice never reminded himself and won their approval.

But at the same time, I got a gift from them.

It's not that they didn't recognize themselves, it's more like they had already recognized themselves at the beginning, the moment they came into contact with the Seven Heavens Divine Statue.
