Chapter 1345: The power of human will, the gathering of prayers and the ordinance, and Apep’s advice

As Yan'dora opened the prologue, Mondstadt's singing, Xumi's hymns, the abyss's praises, Inazuma's prayers, Liyue's edicts... the endless faith, endless wishes, and infinite world power belonging to the human world converged on Jiang Yi.

One door after another opened, revealing one incarnation of god after another.

The consciousness of believers can connect to this great sacredness, and they can feel that the incarnation of the sacredness they believe in has descended into their hearts, bringing with it endless wisdom and gentleness, endless power and dignity.

Kaijima Island, Coral Palace, Tenzo Kaiji Shrine.

The people of the sea, the priests, the warriors, every member of the sea families, men, women, old and young, all prayed to the sky under the leadership of the human-god priestess Coral Palace Xinhai.

"The sea is the palace, the Yao Island is the site, it controls all spirits and takes care of all creatures."

"With a kind heart, the waves are calm and do not overflow the rivers; the fish and shells are submerged and do not allow them to overturn and harm others."

"The vastness of the river contains the chariot of the compass, and the deepness of the river contains the marsh of Yi'an."

"Divine power is universal, and great virtue is spreading."

"Great compassion, great vows, great saint, great mercy."

"Exorcise evil and uphold good, and turn disaster into good."

"The weather is good and the country is peaceful and the people are safe."

……

Because the laws were shaking and the earth veins were turbulent, the tsunamis, floods, wind and rain that were born in the seas of the seven countries were all calmed down, and the beasts and monsters that attempted to poison all living beings also retracted their claws.

The resentful souls and evil ghosts who were roaring in the dark underworld hid back in the mountains.

"He manages the affairs of the rivers and water gods and the spirits of the universe. He manages the records of the dead souls and ghosts of the long night. He records the merits, demerits, sins, and blessings of all living beings."

"He relieves natural disasters from above. He saves the souls whose karma has been fulfilled. He helps the underworld. He distinguishes the ways of humans and ghosts. He brings peace to both the living and the dead. He has infinite power to help. He has great compassion and great vows. He is a great saint with great mercy."

Xinhai of the Coral Palace wore the crown of the sea and bowed.

“Praise to the compassionate and holy heart that nurtures all things—Tianzang Yulongjun.”

The shrine maidens, priests, and warriors at the back all knelt on the ground.

“Praise to the compassionate and holy heart that nurtures all things—Tianzang Yulongjun.”

Incense smoke curls, jellyfish float, sea beasts and fish gather, all spirits pay homage, and every citizen of the sea sings respectfully.

“Praise to the compassionate and holy heart that nurtures all things—Tianzang Yulongjun.”

The voices of prayer on the island of Haizhi continue to echo with the tides, never ending, announcing to the seas and all creatures in Teyvat who is the master of the seas.

From the first "Omniscient and Omnipotent Lord" to "Thousand-Armed Bodhi Leaves Mahasthamaprapta Samantabhadra Tathagata" to "Tenzo Yuryūkun"... then to "God of Hope and Miracles", "God of Games", "Floating Life Amaterasu Tsukuyomi", "God of Marriage", "God of Good Destiny", "God of Fertility", "God of Food", "Doctor", "Yama", "Forest King", "Chalker King"... countless incarnations of gods are being chanted by believers all over Teyvat.

Each one has condensed a corresponding image and stands behind the portal.

There is a body outside the body, it is continuous and endless; there is a door outside the door, it is endless.

Their aura is either majestic and cold, or peaceful and generous, or elegant and lofty... Like layers of mountains, with the same gentleness and compassion, they lower their gazes and reach straight into the sky.

At the end of a hundred gods, the Wood Emperor Ju Mang stands with Fusang; at the end of a thousand gods, the Green Emperor sits on the Green Dragon and nods; at the end of ten thousand gods, Taihao Fuxi reveals his true form from the Miluo Palace.

The underworld, the abyss, the dragon, the peng, the spirit snake, all things, the mountains and rivers, the sea… surround the gods.

The Three Pure Ones, the Four Imperial Gods, the Five Elders, the Nine Stars, the Twenty-Eight Star Gods, the Zhoutian gods, Odin, Zeus, Shiva, all the gods, all the myths, all the origins, are displayed behind the door.

Since the number of gods is unknown, mortals can only set it at 129,600 to combine the number of heaven and earth, and gather them all into "one yuan".

This first one is Jiang Yi’s mortal body.

This final one is Taihao Fuxi, the incarnation of a saint with perfect divinity, humanity, and Taoism.

King of kings, God of gods.

If we say that refining the spirit and returning to emptiness means preserving the primordial spirit, we can refine the wisdom light of the yang spirit in the ancestral orifice to produce divine fire, which penetrates all the orifices of the body, and the yang flame rises into the sky, penetrating the feet and the top of the head.

Refine the body into the Yang Spirit, shatter it into the innate ancestral qi that seems to exist but not exist, seems not to exist but not to exist, has no shape or trace, and returns to the void, achieving the unity of man and nature.

When achievements gather, they take shape; when they disperse, they become gas. The spirit that survives catastrophes and has a lifespan as long as heaven and earth.

Then, to refine the void and merge with the Tao means that the primordial spirit survives thousands and tens of thousands of calamities, and the physical body attains the status of a Daluo celestial being, cultivating an indestructible Vajra body, with divine light all around, perfect Dharma appearance, the annihilation of color and emptiness, and both form and spirit being perfect.

"When it is contained, it is so precise and thorough that it can fit into a mustard seed without leaving any gap. When it is released, it is so great and strong that it can encompass Mount Sumeru without leaving any gap."

Jiang Yi's soul returned to his body, and in an instant his body and soul became one, achieving the metaphysical principle of "I think, therefore I am; I am, therefore I think."

No matter what divinity, divine authority, the principle of creation, or ultimate wisdom, they cannot aim at this all-embracing Tao, because everything is part of Tao.

What is Tao?

He is the Word.

Nothingness is natural, and deification is everywhere.

All the portals merged into one and turned into the Gate of All Wonders. The original Pangu giant walked out of the Gate of All Wonders. Mysterious scales grew on him. His feet disappeared and turned into a dark blue dragon tail that spread for thousands of miles.

Its body was incredibly large, and it circled three times, like a sacred mountain from outer space standing beside Mount Sumeru.

The perfect human body on the dragon's tail had a golden face as bright as the sun and a jade-like appearance as bright as the sky. When his eyes opened and closed, the Tai Chi Bagua, the sun, the moon and the stars moved, and directly turned into a sky.

Thirty-six heavens, nine underworlds, the human world, the four seas and five mountains are all within his body.

Taihao - Fuxi.

The ancestor of humans and gods, the ultimate immortal, appeared before the people of Teyvat for the first time.

He could also transform into a human body with a dragon head, or a dragon body with a human head, or other forms that suit Pangu and the God of Creation, but this human body with a dragon tail is his choice at the moment.

It is also a form of Tao that will be shown to the world in the future.

Gentle and tolerant, noble but not arrogant, majestic but not overbearing, compassionate but not doting.

Holding the warm green light in his hands, Apep, the Green Grass Dragon, slowly retreated.

She, who had peeked into a corner of this existence’s past, was digesting these stories.

In the azure light was the god Buyel, Nashida, who once stood outside the dream box.

Nashida opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Yi, who was as vast as the sky and the earth. She was stunned for a long time. As the owner yesterday, she clearly felt that she had forgotten Jiang Yi once.

The cause of the disease of the World Tree has been solved. Jiang Yi has become the hope to fight against the darkness of the future. We succeeded.

She smiled.

Gentle as sunshine, just like the great compassionate tree king that symbolizes the sun.

Jiang Yi was also stunned for a moment.

Nashida's memory of the Great Compassion Tree King has been deleted. Although Nashida did not inherit all of the Great Compassion Tree King's memories, she inherited all of the Great Compassion Tree King's deeds.

In addition, when making the plan before, Nashida had exchanged uncontaminated stories of her own told by memory with the Great Compassion Tree King. Jiang Yi did not find out how much Nashida had exchanged, but the other party's smile at this moment really reminded him of the Great Compassion Tree King.

An obscure prayer that does not belong to the human world was born, mixed with billions of human wishes.

This prayer cannot point to Jiang Yi's entire existence, it can only connect to Jiang Yi's two incarnations.

"A shadow from beyond the stars, traveling through unfulfilled dreams and illusions of consciousness."

"The sun-blocking dragon of the elements of filth and decay, the son of the dark universe."

"Space dissolves before you, everything comes to an end before you, and the world has no inner or outer boundaries."

"The long river of history, the last wishes of the dead, and the ruins of civilization flow on your slender body of the Styx dragon."

"Please lower your crimson eyes of doom and listen to our unfulfilled wishes."

"The law of the birth and death of the universe, the agent of the ultimate destiny."

"Pitch black - the world-destroying Yinglong."

……

"Please lower your crimson eyes of doom and listen to our unfulfilled wishes."

"The law of the birth and death of the universe, the agent of the ultimate destiny."

"Your Highness, the cooperation with you is a great beginning."

"When the abyss submerges the throne of God, you must abide by your promise and come."

……

The purple mist was hazy, and in the dark and decayed hall, ominous evil spirits were swarming like clouds. The golem belonging to His Majesty the Abyss Dragon stood in the abyss, accepting the worship of the hill people and the abyss mages.

The dark cosmic power on the dragon golem is so strong that even the monsters in the abyss are afraid of it and dare not touch it.

I can only crawl in the shadow of the flickering lights and chant the prayer of the abyss.

Circle after circle of purple-red abyss spells, like tadpole characters, swam above the towering pillars of the hall, forming an increasingly thick and dark curtain.

The Abyss Mage held a staff and performed a dance to worship the devil.

The dark red fire of the abyss was ignited.

There are sacrifices to the dragon, and there is another being that is equal to darkness.

"A giant god walking in time and space, wearing the crown of the abyss and wearing black dragon wings, symbolizing the ultimate star in the universe, the Lord of the Abyss sitting on the supreme throne, the original body of the black dragon."

"Time, space, everything is nothing."

"Praise to your lightless black sun, praise to your power that extinguishes the stars."

A deep and terrifying black sun appeared above the abyss.

Just like in ancient times, the black sun belonging to the "Black Sun Dynasty" era of Kanreya descended here.

A door to the ultimate void, made of stacked black cubes, looms.

This is also one side of Jiang Yi.

The Abyss Cult wants Jiang Yi to keep a side of him.

As a result, he did not hesitate to make many abyss monsters become Jiang Yi's believers.

These prayers are a reminder of the agreement and a tribute to send the other party to the throne of the abyss.

Create a new controller of the power of the abyss, the true Lord of the Abyss.

Prayer cannot change God’s mind or manipulate God’s consciousness, but it can make us know God’s joy and anger.

After all, if you don’t like it, you won’t accept it.

Jiang Yi's gaze fell into the abyss and he nodded slightly, causing strange phenomena to appear in the abyss, proving that he had not forgotten the agreement they had made.

The monsters of the abyss cannot provide the power of the human world, but only an indescribable dark fate.

But now he is no longer afraid of this fate.

The image of Taihao Fuxi located on the west side of Mount Sumeru changed again. The dragon tail disappeared, and it became a pair of feet. The black clothes on his body also turned into a more ethereal and natural feather robe.

This is another kind of Taoism that is condensed by the Huangting Immortal Dao to govern all gods, including Taihao Fuxi, and is in harmony with the world. It can walk in the world, enlighten all living beings, and is closer to the natural world, encompassing a broader avenue.

After all, Taihao Fuxi is the god of all gods in Huangting Xiandao, but he does not represent Huangting Xiandao itself. He is only the Emperor of Heaven in Huangting Xiandao, one of the Great Dao, not Tai Chi and Wuji.

Jiang Yi placed Nashida on the clouds, looked at the land of Sumeru, and sighed.

It's time to make everything go back to normal.

"You are an alien being who has become an adventer. Tell me, how did you digest the knowledge of the Red King?" The voice of Apep, the Green Grass Dragon, made Jiang Yi stop his actions temporarily.

"Now I understand your plan. You, the little god who relies on the power of heaven and calls yourself the lord of this place, Buyel, and you, are going to learn from Akhmar and Nabu Marikata, devour forbidden knowledge, gain wisdom, and break free from the destiny predetermined by the heavens?"
