Chapter 1045: Prophecy from Time, Repeal of the Lockdown Order

Everything that happened will still happen, but there are unknown secrets behind history...

A miracle worker should seize the glimmer of hope for the world.

Jiang Yi was supported by Ying and Ying as he walked out of the "consciousness space".

suddenly.

Blurry fragments of time were reflected in Jiang Yi's eyes, turning into an ethereal voice.

"A prophecy fell from the sky: one was the son of man, the other was a man without a life."

"The people of dust and mud try to break free from the shackles of fate. The people of dust and mud test the sky and try to climb the garden of the gods... the foreign wind..."

"They are all... unforgivable."

"The sharpest and heaviest divine pillar has arrived... in the past, in the future, in... now."

"The prophecy will surely come true, and the punishment will be completed."

"You are ready to touch upon many taboos, lifeless man?"

A creepy feeling came over him. He was the only one who could perceive these fragments of time. He didn't know whether these fragments of time came from the past, present, or future.

The wind of time turned into nothingness and disappeared.

"punish?"

Jiang Yi looked up and saw the cave at the foot of the mountain.

I... was predicted.

why?

After understanding the law of time, he found that the world seemed different.

Is this a warning from time?

The destiny starry sky of Teyvat is a big net. The lifeless butterfly vibrates its wings. Although it is difficult to perceive it by itself, the people sitting high in the sky dreamed of the vibration of the net in the past and deduced the butterfly that fell into the net.

The king sent the priests and arrangements were made.

The law of cause and effect and destiny allowed Jiang Yi to vaguely analyze the cause and effect of this prophecy, but he didn't know when this so-called punishment would come?

Astrology and divination seemed to have lost their effect, and the sense of crisis disappeared without a trace. Everything was calm and the luck was good.

"Huh? Aren't you here to save Ying? Why is it you who is the injured one coming out?" In the cave, Yae Shen Zi looked at Jiang Yi, who was supported by Ying and Ying with a pale face, and was full of surprise.

"I just sensed that you entered the consciousness space... Hmm! That feeling of suddenly disappearing, did you encounter something in there?" She looked at the dazed Jiang Yi with her fox-like purple eyes.

"Shh! Don't disturb him." Ying thought Jiang Yi was sensing his true whereabouts, so he said to Yae Shinko, "Let's talk on the way back to the shrine!"

Yae Shinko was a little curious, but didn't ask any more questions for the time being.

Everyone left the place where "she" ended.

Ying and Ying had just discussed that they would not tell Yaezun Shenzi about the real reason Jiang Yi wanted to save them for the time being. If successful, this would be a surprise for Yaezun Shenzi.

If you fail, it will be one less hope!

I'll tell him quietly when the time comes, so that Yae Shenzi won't sigh at Jiang Yi's behavior on the spot.

They concealed this matter, but did not hide anything else.

On the mountain road leading to the shrine, Yae Miko listened to the story and looked at the sacred cherry blossoms on the mountain: "The current shadow planted the sacred cherry blossom tree in the consciousness space with his own hands, and it sprouted in the past Inazuma... No matter how you think about it, it's incredible."

There was a witch on the road, looking at Jiang Yi who was supported by the general and Ying in surprise.

In fact, Jiang Yi was only stunned for a second in the cave before he came back to his senses from the heavy mood after hearing the prophecy. He did not doubt his own strength, nor did he doubt the power of Sky Island, nor the prophecy result of Sky Island that was bound to happen as if it was fate.

Since we have taken action, the punishment will definitely not be a light breeze or drizzle.

His hands were slightly tense, but in order to prevent Ying and Ying from noticing, he forced himself to relax and let them support him as he moved forward.

"Really..." Jiang Yi looked at the shrine on the top of the mountain.

"All this is thanks to the power of Zhen. She understands eternity more deeply than I do." Ying responded to Yae Shenzi, "Eternity is a concept closely related to time. Once you touch on eternity, the concept of time will become blurred."

The words that Jiang Yi knew in advance now appeared.

Ying also recounted the wonderful scene she saw when she entered the space.

Time is both moving forward and moving backward.

At the shrine, a shrine maiden who was sweeping the ground under the sacred cherry tree felt that the sacred cherry tree was emitting light. The blue light flowed along the veins of the trunk of the sacred cherry and converged towards the top.

"What is this?" She was stunned.

Yae Shinko also expressed her own understanding: "Time itself has no meaning, and it cannot be explained by common sense... So this is the 'turbulence' I feel. Perhaps this is the reason why you can successfully return to this time node."

Although they are not proficient enough in the power of time, beings like them will always touch upon time in their understanding of the world and in their practice.

Yae Shinko shook her head: "But that sense of disorder has completely disappeared."

The chaos of time seemed to subside.

In front of the sacred cherry tree, the strange abnormality of the sacred cherry made the priestess drop her broom and quickly ask about the whereabouts of the chief priest. She hurried up the mountain path and told others not to let the pilgrims touch the sacred cherry at this moment.

Ying pondered for a moment. Regarding time... Jiang Yi had already revealed a lot in his consciousness space: "The root of everything... is that seed."

Ying suddenly noticed that Jiang Yi's footsteps became lighter.

Really... maybe we can meet again soon.

Jiang Yi felt the power he had lost for five hundred years.

Yae Shinko raised his eyebrows and looked towards the top of the mountain: "I think that relying solely on real strength, perhaps..."

What was that feeling just now? Shenying showed abnormality.

Ying suddenly felt a touch of cherry blossoms floating in his heart, and subconsciously looked towards the top of the mountain: "I know what you are thinking. Perhaps there really is a 'higher power' involved. But in any case, her method protected all of us at the last moment. If there were no sacred cherry tree, Inazuma might have been completely swallowed up by disaster and filth hundreds of years ago."

It’s not maybe, in Jiang Yi’s narration, there really is a high-level power of time.

The road from the mountain path to the top of the mountain is very long, and Ying is a little impatient.

Everyone's pace quickened slightly unconsciously.

"I know you have a wonderful perception of the Divine Cherry Tree, but for me, the Divine Cherry Tree has always existed. You once wanted to prove to me that this Divine Cherry Tree is related to the real consciousness space, but unfortunately you failed, right?" Yae Shinko said with a smile.

Ying was very anxious at that time.

Ying looked at Jiang Yi: "Well, now I understand. Because at that time the sacred cherry tree had not even been planted yet."

The divine cherry tree changes everyone's memory and becomes eternal. Jiang Yi thought of the world tree in Teyvat that records history and can even change historical records and the memories of all living beings.

However, this situation is actually more like a "time maze".

Just like he was unable to sense his power in the "past" and the "present" before, he had come to the sacred cherry tree countless times before.

Next to him, Paimon finally got the chance to speak.

"...Don't you think that tree is very different from what it is now?"

That tree was normal, but now it looks like a fox!

Yae Shinko said naturally: "The sacred cherry tree is planted in my territory, so of course it has to be pruned according to my taste."

Paimon looked at the domineering Son of God and didn't dare to speak.

"I'm just kidding. This tree has gone through a lot since it sprouted. Thanks to the foxes' careful care, it has become what it is today. It's not completely unrelated to me either." Yae Shinko's words reminded Ying of the many foxes that appeared in the consciousness space. It turned out that the scene represented this.

Yae Shenzi sorted out what happened just now: "You left and entered the space again. Logically, the interval was very short, but the fierce battle inside has lasted for hundreds of years...Except for Jiang Yi who was not serious and did not know what he did inside, I believe Ying and Paimeng have been following what I said and silently reciting their wishes!"

Ying nodded: "What does wish mean in terms of time?"

Yae Shinko showed off her knowledge and understanding of time: "At that time, I sensed the location of the shadow, and also noticed that there was something wrong with the 'time' inside. If 'time' is also one of the elements we are looking for, then knowing the 'location' alone is not enough."

Jiang Yi has a say in this.

Will and desire are the ships and accurate courses that sail steadily in the turbulence of time, while position is the beacon of the target port.

Within reach is a vast ocean of time representing the past and the future.

"But fortunately, with your strong will, the turbulence takes you to the intersection of time where all wishes converge - the moment with the greatest possibility. The direction of the turbulence may have been really affected, but in order to help Ying, everyone's efforts are indispensable. I really have to thank you this time." Yae Shinko expressed his gratitude seriously for the first time.

"By the way, how did Jiang Yi get injured? Was he chopped by the general?" She became concerned about this question again.

"Aha!" Paimon scratched his head and avoided his gaze.

Ying pretended not to hear and changed the subject: "In other words, our encounter with that decisive battle was not accidental, but a scene we would definitely encounter and witness... Perhaps, as the general said, this was inevitable fate."

That is part of the time loop that Jiang Yi mentioned.

What about Jiang Yi? Is the success or failure of his plan already predetermined?

It's almost as nervous as opening a blind box.

"No, General..." Ying shook her head, but did not answer Yae Shinko's question. She was not good at lying, so it was better not to answer.

"Huh? Are you hiding something from me?" Yae Shinko felt so strange. It felt like she was the only one who didn't know the secret, as if she was an outsider.

"Cough cough!" Facing the inquiring gaze of the Eightfold Son of God, Jiang Yi coughed twice, indicating that he was very weak and did not want to answer.

The sun shines on the mountain path, making it particularly peaceful.

Ying expressed his gratitude to everyone on the way.

She originally thought that the flow of time inside and outside the space was the same, so when Ying and Jiang Yi reappeared in the real consciousness space, she was very shocked. The first thing she thought of was, "Could it be that Inazuma encountered a great disaster?" It turned out that they wanted to save her.

It also helped her get the best ending.

Yae Shen Zi asked everyone about Jiang Yi for a long time but could not get any answer, so he had to ask about Ying's situation with concern.

Ying's body has fully recovered, and the general's will no longer opposes her.

The mood is also...

She was kind of looking forward to the end of the road.

"I just heard Shin's voice, not really seeing her... I just felt a little nostalgic." After hearing Yae Shinko talking about Shin's consciousness, Ying responded, "I have decided to move forward. However, this time I am convinced that Shin is indeed very powerful. She anticipated all the possibilities of Inazuma's future at that time."

The footsteps of the shrine maiden echoed on the mountain path, and she was panting while holding her waist. Sometimes the shrine was built too high, and it was really troublesome to find someone. If she had Mond's Wings of Wind, she would have jumped down directly.

"She even took my immaturity into account." Ying recalled everything in the past. "It is her credit that Inazuma is where she is today."

Looking back from here, you can see the land of Narukami Island and even Inazuma Castle on the other side of the sea.

Ying was noncommittal: "Ying, don't underestimate yourself. You are also very capable and have done something important. Both your will and Zhen's will are indispensable. The final act of planting the seeds may seem simple, but it is the result of countless efforts."

Of course, Jiang Yi is also very powerful.

However, let’s not brag about it now.

Jiang Yi looked at Ying's profile, being supported by Ying and Ying. If Ying wasn't shorter, with his hand on her shoulder and Ying's hand on his, he would look like a prisoner being escorted by two women.

...Am I being too rude to think of such things?

Jiang Yi shook his head. The scenery along the mountain path was really beautiful.

The feeling that Ying Xiangshan received became clearer and clearer, but in order to maintain his anticipation and sense of mystery, he did not use his mind to fly high into the sky to check.

The shadow next to it seemed to be the same.
