Chapter 1149: Feathers carrying memories, consciousness and will, and the strangeness in the heart

The fog in Heguan was surging, and bloody thunder roared in the sky.

Jiang Yi, Ying and Paimeng stood on the sacrificial field.

"The abnormality in the sky did not recover with the beginning of reincarnation." Paimon looked up at the sky.

"Because the perch is a real object that exists in the present and is destroyed now," Ying said.

"This time, the one in reincarnation... is not me!" Aru looked at his own glowing hands. Under the light, there was no shadow behind him.

In this new cycle, many things remain the same, but some things have also changed.

The changes in the last reincarnation continue to this day.

Like the sky, like Aru.

Thousands of years of the same cycle, the same festivals as before, brushed against Aru's heart.

"Big brother, what should we do now?" He left the choice of this reincarnation to Jiang Yi.

The patron saint of the outer islands.

A god he couldn't describe, but who was very kind.

"Let's go find the thunderbird's feathers..." Jiang Yi led everyone towards Huoshi Beach.

There is no need to continue testing Ying, now is the time for him to take the stage.

"Feathers?" Paimon looked at the strange rocks and bushes on the beach ahead. "Come to think of it, why don't there be thunder in these three places?"

She was talking about Huoshi Beach, Umina Beach, and Fengyue Field.

The sky here is still red, and the fog has a strange color.

Although it was the blood-red thunder that was born from the destruction of the habitat, it still did not affect this place, just like the thunder of reincarnation.

"Is it the Thunderbird?" Ying glanced at Aru and guessed.

The wind was howling, sand and rocks were flying, leaves were fluttering...but there was an inexplicable sense of security.

Especially for Aru.

Jiang Yi looked at the increasingly bad weather. Aru was running in front, while he, Ying and Paimon were lagging behind.

"This can also be considered an anomaly in the earth veins! In the reincarnation, the earth vein activity in Heguan will reproduce the will of the Thunderbird at that time."

"The thunderstorm in the sky is controlled by this will."

"These three places where thunder doesn't strike are all places where Ru used to like to stay."

Paimon understood and felt a little sad: "I see, Thunderbird, no! Kapachiri is very gentle. At least to Aru."

"But this will is not consciousness after all, it only follows the thoughts of the past. Otherwise, at that moment at the festival, the Thunderbird should have been looking at Aru." Jiang Yi reached around, trying to grasp the will of the Thunderbird.

"Now, what we need to do is to find Thunderbird's consciousness with whom we can communicate. Let her end this endless cycle."

Jiang Yi could certainly break through the cycle of reincarnation and end everything, but he would rather complete the redemption of both parties and let Thunderbird and Alu escape from the sea of ​​suffering together.

Although it was a bit complicated and lengthy, he was not stingy with his little bit of time.

"Thunderbird's consciousness?" Ying was surprised. "Such a powerful ground vein anomaly was caused entirely by her consciousness?"

The thunderbird had died on Qinglai Island, causing a large-scale thunderstorm. A consciousness here caused an island to fall into eternal reincarnation.

No wonder the people of Heguan regard him as a god.

"It's not just the power or curse of the Thunderbird..." Jiang Yi sensed the depths of the earth veins, "These mists, the abnormality of Heguan time, are also related to..."

He paused and continued.

"Big brother, big sister, Paimon, I found the feather of Kapachiri." Aru held in her hand the ice mirror created by Jiang Yi that could see historical phantoms and activate abnormal powers around.

In front of several large rocks, everything in the field of vision was distorted like a mirage, and a gorgeous feather emitting purple light and floating in the air suddenly appeared.

It seems to have come from the past, as if it has always been here, as if waiting for someone to pick up the feather.

"This is the place where I used to sing secretly without telling anyone. From here you can see the Kapachi flying in the sky." Aru looked at this feather excitedly. It was real and not an illusion. It was different from the feather that condensed power when offering sacrifices to the roost.

Ying reached out to touch it with interest, and the moment she touched the feather, her body froze in place unconsciously.

"Ying!" Paimon immediately became nervous.

"Nothing, I just came into contact with the remaining memories of Kapachiri in the feathers..." Jiang Yi signaled Paimon not to be nervous.

"The memory of Kapachiri?" Ru was staring at the feather, not knowing what she was thinking.

Jiang Yi waited for Ying to wake up.

"Kapachiri heard the song..." Ying held the feather and wanted to hand it to Aru.

Aru suddenly took a step back, as if she was afraid of something: "Let big brother and big sister keep this feather for now."

Ying glanced at Aru and said, "Okay!"

She gave the feather to Jiang Yi.

"So, our mission now is to collect feathers, break the festival, and end the cycle?" Paimon still doesn't quite understand Jiang Yi's purpose of collecting feathers.

"Almost." Jiang Yi did not hold the feather like Ying, but spread out his palm. Lightning flashed on the feather. This feather with memory seemed to have consciousness, and it turned into a purple meteor and flew into the sky.

"The feather flew away, and that direction is Mount Sugana where Kapaqiri lives." Aru looked at the direction where the feather flew. The tall mountain stood like a pillar of heaven in the Tsurugahan shrouded in blood-red mist.

"Let's go to Jiming Beach first." Jiang Yi stopped the people who were about to chase after them.

"Then let's go quickly." Paimon immediately became impatient.

"Huoshitan, Una Beach, Aru, I've always wanted to say this, why are the place names in Tsurugan so strange?" On the way, Paimon found a topic as if to ease Aru's nervousness.

"Is it strange?" Aru was a little confused. "This is our stone root language. Everything here is named using the stone root language passed down from generation to generation by the priests. This is how it translates."

Translated into Teyvatian Common.

Yes, this language is very ancient, even the ancient Heguan people knew it.

"Stone root writing sounds like the way the Hillichels communicate by throwing stones at each other..." Paimon complained.

"What Paimon said is really interesting!" Aru smiled, revealing the happiness of a child.

While chatting, everyone arrived at the Umina Beach.

Just like before, purple feathers carrying some of Thunderbird's memories emerged from the earth veins.

After Ying and Jiang Yi read the memory, the feathers became active and turned into purple meteors flying towards Mount Sugana.

"What fell from the sky? The fog was not created by the thunderbird..." Ying seemed to understand what Jiang Yi had not finished saying.

The geomantic omen in Heguan is abnormal, the time is abnormal, and there are other forces involved besides the Thunderbird.

"The fog was not created by Kapakiri?" Aru heard Ying's words, "Is this true? The ancestors said that Kapakiri spread the fog to protect Tsurugan from being swallowed by the darkness outside."

"That's what Thunderbird remembers." Ying nodded.

This news might be a truth that subverts the beliefs of the people of Heguan, who have firmly believed for generations that the Thunderbird spreads fog to protect them. But for Aru, from the fact that she and the Phantom moved the stone with stone root characters engraved on it and changed the original sequence, it can be seen that Aru is not old-fashioned.

Her suspicion of the outside world is what makes Aru different from most other people in Heguan.

Paimon consoled him, "That's not surprising! In a place like this where neither the sun nor the moon can be seen, the only thing they can see is the light emitted by Kapakiri... It's understandable that they see Kapakiri as the purple sun rising from the sky pillar Sugana Mountain and believe that the fog is created by Kapakiri to resist the darkness."

Including, viewing Kapachili as a god.

It’s a pity that the opponent is just a moody thunder bird that doesn’t care about humans.

Except for Aru.

"The light of Kapaqiri cannot be concealed even by fog, and can be seen everywhere in Tsurukan." Aru was a little proud of her friend's strength.

In fact, he easily accepted the truth that the fog was not created by Kapachiri.

Everyone came to Fengyue Field.

Soon, the feather was found here.

"Three places, three feathers, just like Kapachiri stayed in these three places after the festival, missing Aru." Paimon's words made the atmosphere instantly low.

"Kapachiri..." Ru sniffed.

"Paimon..." Ying was helpless.

This time, the touch of the feathers brought about a sight that everyone could see.

"This is the first time I met Kapachiri." Aru looked at herself in front of her. She was talking to a voice. It was Kapachiri.

It was also at this time that he gave the name "Kapachiri" to the guardian deity of Heguan.

The feather, like the previous two, turned into a purple meteor and flew towards Suganayama.

"This time, we can go to the habitat of Kapachiri." A faint light appeared in Jiang Yi's hand. The mind, consciousness and the laws of dreams captured the will of some of the Kapachiri in Heguan.

There is a huge cavity inside the towering Mount Sugana.

Different from the world outside which was covered by blood mist and sparkled with red lightning, this place was exceptionally quiet. The ground plants emitting blue light, the fluttering lightning crystal butterflies, and the leisurely wind-colored fairies made this place seem like a pure land.

Looking up at the sky, the sky seems different.

With an expression of surprise and shock, Paimon looked at the gnarled ancient trees around him, as well as the purple stone root characters faintly visible on the towering stone walls.

"Shh, this is a holy place..." Aru walked forward quietly with a sense of longing.

In front is an ancient altar, made of stones forming a triangular building that stands upright like a bird's head.

Three feathers are "stuck" right above.

There is shallow water under your feet, a beautiful expanse of water where plants grow.

Suddenly, when Paimon relaxed, purple lightning penetrated the sky and the earth, accompanied by hundreds of thunders echoing in the mountains, revealing its true form of anger.

"Purple big Yandora, no! Pure water elf, pure thunder elf?" When Paimon was frightened and retreated, he saw the strange monster condensed by thunder and couldn't help but shout out.

"Boom!"

What responded to her was thunder from the sky.

The quiet waters were filled with endless thunder, lightning like dragons and snakes spread in all directions, and the terrible sound of thunder shook people's eardrums.

A palm as white as jade resists the thunder.

The magic of isolating space turned into a cage. When lightning raged in the sky, it enveloped the lightning and the monsters inside, imprisoning them in the small world formed by the space magic.

“…You actually took Aru…” An angry roar came from the monster’s mouth, and thunder danced with it, like thousands of purple stars, extremely violent, bombarding the space.

There were countless purple lightning rods. As the electric current spread around, they looked like lightning balls. They were sharp and powerful, capable of destroying mountains and forests and shaking the sea.

The magic of space manifested a blue magic circle, with ancient seals flowing on it.

"The regret that finally came together after thousands of years, Kapaqili..." Jiang Yi looked at the monster that looked similar to the pure water elf, "Resentment, memory, will, and a partially crazy consciousness?"

This is the core of Kapachili's will to curse Heguan, the remnant of past consciousness, awakened by the three feathers.
