Chapter 1439 Nata's Story, Legend of the Sea Demon

Surfing is not suitable as there are boats coming and going in front of Liyue Harbor.

With the pleasure of an outing, take everyone to the mountains to enjoy the scenery, and take a boat to the sea...

With Jiang Yi leading the way, time and distance were no longer a problem. They appeared and disappeared, looking at Guili New City from Tianheng Mountain, visiting Shu Inn in the new city, then taking a boat along the Bishui River into the sea and entering Yaoguang Beach.

In the distant side, the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain rises high into the clouds below the horizon, three times more majestic and magnificent than the Solitary Cloud Pavilion.

"The Dragonspine Snow Mountain in Mondstadt!" Maranie felt so cold just looking at it.

As a girl who grew up in a hot spring, I don’t like soaking in a “snow pile”.

"Mond..." Kinich remembered that this was the next stop of the diplomatic mission.

Nata only comes out once every five hundred years, so naturally he is prepared to visit every country.

Other countries are fine, winter is the only tentative one...

According to the actions of the subordinates of the Winter Solstice Executive Captain in Nata, Nata should be grateful to Winter Solstice, but this help was not actually the intention of the Winter Queen, but the personal intention of the "Captain".

According to the Fatui who helped Natta, the "Captain" would have come to Natta in person around next year to carry out the plan to save Natta, but something happened suddenly and the "Captain" himself was not here.

Only half of the subordinates that the "captain" had previously arranged in Nata appeared in Nata.

This half of the subordinates were spread all over Nata, just like the Fatui in other countries, watching the ruins of Nata being excavated, various ancient powers, ancient mechas, ancient books...

When the "disaster" swept in, Zhidong bought the Liyue Jade Slips for research, and then modified the long-distance simple communication device to send information at the critical moment and obtain the order of the "executive" in a distant land.

Only then did they help fearlessly.

Because the "Abyss" is the enemy of the Seven Kingdoms and Winter Solstice.

These pieces of information were obtained by the God of Fire after investigating the Fatui.

In ancient times, dragons used the secret source mechanism driven by phlogiston to build cities. At the same time, the "secret source mechanism" was also a prop used by the dragon clan to try to strengthen the earth veins. It could inject power into the center of the earth veins and reconstruct them.

What the Fatui are doing in Nata is to investigate Nata's earth veins and excavate ancient secret source mechanisms to pave the way for the "captain" to come and reconstruct the earth veins and save Nata.

This is something the God of Fire cannot tolerate. The earth veins carry memories and history. Reconstructing the earth veins is not the same as repairing them. It is equivalent to directly denying the past and deleting Nata's memories and history. The captain is her enemy.

However, the power of the Man-God disrupted all destinies and plans.

With extraordinary power, he repaired the earth veins and preserved Nata's memory, history and life.

This prevented the Fatui from implementing their plan, and also prevented the God of Fire's plan from being completed.

The God of Fire came from five hundred years ago, died five hundred years ago, and then came to the modern era through reincarnation. He prepared six tribes and the inheritance of six five hundred years of heroes to cultivate six "destined" ancient names, inherit the power, and gather together to obtain the power of the "Ruling of Death" borrowed by the original God of Fire in the past, to defeat the abyss and save Nata.

Ianshan and Kinich were among the six chosen heroes. Later, Chaska became one of them after his painful awakening due to the death of his sister. There was also the grandson of Sitrali... and Marani, who died once with Katsina in the war with the abyss, also became a hero.

However, they only woke up after the war.

And the last hero, an ancient blacksmith from the Sons of Echo, had actually awakened long ago.

So, things were quite embarrassing.

When everything was settled, the candidates in the Vulcan plan were forcibly awakened because of the war, and in the middle, one of them actually died due to the sudden war.

It was Malani who tried her best to save Katsina.

The power of the abyss eroded Natta's "Resurrection Poem", making it impossible for the dead to be successfully resurrected. This was the biggest crisis Natta faced at the time, and it almost caused their morale to collapse.

At that time, Xitlal's grandson... made such a decision.

He was born with a defective soul and was adopted and raised by the "Yanmizhu" tribe. "Yanmizhu" once wanted to sacrifice him.

The Kingdom of Nata Night God was damaged, and the souls inside were scattered between heaven and earth, unable to return to the earth veins, and could only wander outside. Their loss would further decay the Kingdom of Night God. "Yan Mizhu" tried to use the child as a carrier, using his incomplete soul that easily attracted other souls to absorb the "souls wandering in the world of Nata" and send them to the Kingdom of Night God to repair the earth veins.

But the sacrifice was unsuccessful and the child escaped.

Sitrali felt ashamed for not stopping the plan at the time.

Later, when the grown-up children learned about the incident and Nata's miserable situation, they thought of themselves as "unsuccessful saviors" and wanted to save the world again.

Naturally, he did not succeed this time, and even paid a terrible price, but the transformation between life and death, and the strong will, made him awaken.

His ancient name means "dedication".

The six heroes who inherited the ancient will and power have now become the backup of the "God of Fire" in facing the next future. The power of the "Ruling of Death" in the "Throne of God" can also serve as a new trump card.

However, regarding Zhidong's attitude, perhaps we should be thankful that the captain is not here this time, so we don't have to waste our energy fighting against ideological conflicts. The captain of the executive is as powerful as a god, and if the two fight each other, it will be worse for Nata.

The most unexpected thing about this war was the rebellion of some of the Dark Wolves. The hounds from the Beast Realm and the monsters transformed from the Abyss fought each other, and even the Abyss Mages seemed to be divided and fighting each other.

After coming to the outside world, Ginny learned that the "Beast Realm Hound" was forcibly subdued by the God of Man. According to legend, the entire Beast Realm has been swept and ruled by the strongest "Golden King Beast".

The strongest "Golden King Beast" is the loyal dog under the throne of the God of Man.

According to secret rumors, the Abyss wants to crown the Human God as the Lord of the Abyss.

The God of Fire was hesitant about whether to make a "diplomatic visit to Winter", but seemed to support the God of Man's plan.

This generation of Fire God is the "strongest" Fire God in Nata's history and has never been defeated.

At the same time, he is also a god of "wisdom" like the original god of fire, who dedicates everything to Nata.

Therefore, none of the six tribes objected to the decision of the God of Fire.

"Wow haha!"

"The stronger the wind, the bigger the waves. It's a great time to try out difficult moves!"

Maranie rode her surfboard through the huge waves, making a refreshing and clear sound. In the sea, there was a glowing tornado that turned into a strong wind and spread out, creating a huge wave artificially.

Paimon fled to the shore in terror.

Ying, who was surfing only with her physical strength and skills, had been knocked to the bottom of the water by the waves, while Jiang Yi had just carried Ying out and was rushing to the top of the wave with the surfboard.

Jiang Yi pinched Ying's cheek, and the girl suddenly spit out a stream of water, spraying it on his face.

It was hard for him not to suspect whether Ying did it on purpose.

Because just now, he was sharing a surfboard with Maranie to experience surfing. He just said he learned it, picked up his own surfboard, Ying followed him to surf, and then sank to the bottom.

It shouldn’t be!

How could my "perfect and versatile" Ying not be good at surfing?

And if you're not good at surfing, why would you release a tornado? Isn't that just making it more difficult for yourself?

"Oh! Oh! Are you okay?" The excited Maranie finally noticed Ying's situation and came over on a surfboard. The way she moved freely on the water made Ying envious.

"Hehe! I fell into the water by mistake. It must be Dahai's fault." Ying argued cunningly.

"Huh?" Malani was stunned.

This seems...meaningful.

The master of the sea has become a human god in the eyes of the people of Liyue and Inazuma.

"Girl, do you know what your behavior just now is called? In the oldest and most primitive legends of Liyue, there is a tradition of sacrificing young girls to rivers and seas." Jiang Yi heard Ying's complaint as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help but snorted twice.

"I know, I know!" Marani was quite knowledgeable. "I remember there was a legend about the 'Demon of the Sea' in Liyue..."

Kinich looked up, listened to the voice over there and gathered his memories.

"You deserve to be drowned by the sea just like the Leaf-less Dragon, and drowned a hundred times, Kinichi. The great holy dragon is warning you, if I am locked up again, I will..." Aqiao in an abstract form suddenly appeared and yelled at Kinichi.

It hasn't eaten Liyue's food yet.

Kinichi made it miss the lunch hosted by Liyue and the opportunity to meet the God of Man.

With a whoosh, Kinich reacted quickly and put Ajo in solitary confinement again.

"Wait..." A Qiao suddenly noticed the two people playing over there.

"Damn it, this Holy Dragon will come back..."

Just as the leaf dragon is easily soluble in water, Aqiao is easily put into solitary confinement.

Faced with Ajo, who was looking forward to his death every day and took over his body, Kinich always satisfied the other party's wish to be "locked up".

"…people sacrificed a beautiful girl to the sea as the bride of the sea god, and prayed for a year of calm seas. And the sea god who came to welcome the bride actually had no intention of getting involved in the farce of mortals…" Marani was very excited.

"..."Ying was silent.

What? Am I the bride to be sacrificed?

Jiang Yi is the indifferent sea god?

That's right! The sacrifice was made once a year, so the sea god got a bride every year.

"The sea is the new home for many girls and where they spend the rest of their lives. For those girls who are expelled by their fellow villagers, the sea is their refuge and a hometown that will never disturb their sleep." Maranie's tone gradually became melancholy. Just like the human sacrifice in the Nata legend, every country has had a period of ignorance.

In the story of Poseidon, a girl was allowed to return to the land she longed for, but many years later, she was once again sacrificed, this time with her child.

The sea god had warned her long ago, "You will regret living in an imperfect world one day."

With complete disappointment, the girl blew the conch shell given by the sea god, and the ocean swallowed up the village and ignorant humans, and also took her and her children away.

To be honest, this isn't really a love story.

It is a story about how God loves the world, but how humans are still foolish.

Naturally, humans today no longer sacrifice young girls to pray for a peaceful year and a good harvest.

But human beings have been born and died, reincarnated over and over again on the earth and ocean created by the Creator. Aren’t they also the lovers of the “Creator”?

and so……

"The universe is the deep sea. People who fall into the sea are looking for the refuge at the bottom of the sea where they can live out their lives, a hometown that will never disturb their sleep? Or is it an unknown journey, the abyss of death?" Jiang Yi looked at the sunset glow that made the beach golden, just like the golden dreamland of Mount Sumeru, without a single tear.

The human world is imperfect, the universe is imperfect, Teyvat is imperfect, where is the perfect hometown for human beings?

The bottom of the deep sea, the depths of the universe... or "where my heart is at peace"?

"..."Ying wiped the sea water off her face and suddenly started to think about philosophy, right!

When you go to the sea, aren't you looking for Aquaman?

"Hmm?" Malani didn't quite understand the code words Jiang Yi said to Ying, but she answered based on the literal meaning, "Maybe it's... the treasure gained in the process?"
