Chapter 570: The perfect carrier, the collapsed inner world,

When a demon dies, demon remnants will be born.

Durin is an existence comparable to the devil. When he died, he had no hatred, only "endless longing" and hoped for the beauty of life.

It bestows power on all living beings, and it bestows everything on the snow-capped mountains.

The dragon's corpse merged with the snow mountain, and the dragon's blood seeped into the earth's veins.

As a result, under the ruins of the ancient country, the thousands of corpses buried in the earth veins, the corpses of the people of the ancient civilization, were nourished.

The veins of the earth carry the memories of the dead and the unwilling will of perished civilizations.

At this moment, this unwillingness, with the help of the dragon's power, the dragon's soul, and the dragon's blood, revived from deep underground.

That was the ancient country's people's resentment towards the sky and their anger towards the injustice.

Because of weakness and ignorance, incomprehensible punishment was imposed.

Then, we will create a powerful being that can break through the sky for us and seek justice.

The perfect carrier has arrived, and the long river of history has stirred up waves on its soul.

Who knows our hatred?

Who knows our resentment?

Looking at the creations in the sky, floating above?

Come, take up our weapons, take up our armor, and let the world celebrate the birth of the being who will inevitably ascend the throne of God.

The infinite power of the dead, the relics of the living, and the remains of civilization are rushing towards the top of the mountain through the veins of the snow-capped mountains.

All the resentment that has accumulated in this place punished by God is resonating and being vented.

Jiang Yi is just a carrier at this moment.

As Durin sang,

"A life that cannot be born, a wish that cannot be fulfilled, a sad unfulfilled dream wandering in the dark universe..."

"I will be born into this world through this special person, this great being."

In the dream, Jiang Yi walked through the snow-capped mountains.

Behind him, it seemed as if suddenly there was green grass and lush forest, and countless illusory figures appeared.

The towering city walls and circular towers of the ruined old capital were rebuilt.

Warriors, mages, priests... sent their weapons to the top of the mountain.

The purple-black long sword with humus poison slashed through the trunk of the Frozen Tree, and all the vitality and elemental power of the Frozen Tree were swallowed up by the greedy "Sword of Humus".

Ying stood in the adventurer's camp, looking at the frozen tree that was revived for the last time.

"The magic sword absorbed all the life force and elemental power back."

Paimon breathed a sigh of relief, "It's finally over. I thought I was going to continue chopping down frozen trees. I'm really exhausted."

Ying glanced at him and said, "You obviously didn't do anything."

Paimon chuckled, "Cheer and cheer are exhausting, right? I worry about you every time you fight. This frozen tree is so powerful, I am always on tenterhooks. It's very exhausting."

"Moreover, this frozen tree has learned to use the 'ancient ice' in the earth veins to create an ice and snow shield to protect itself from being disturbed while sleeping. It should not be underestimated."

"Fortunately, the deep red stone with warm power will surge out along with the earth veins. As long as we kill the ice slimes that stole the stone, we can get it."

Ying smiled and quickly cut off the leaves of the frozen tree: "It seems to be a very interesting phenomenon. If Jiang Yi were here, he would definitely get to the bottom of it."

"Speaking of which..." She counted the days, "We haven't seen Jiang Yi for many days."

"Initially, didn't he want to eat frozen trees and study the life force of dragons? How come he never came here to cut down trees? I collected all of them for him."

"I used the teleportation anchor to go back to Mondstadt, but he wasn't in the city either."

"In the snowy mountains, from the Frost Sky Nail to the Glowing Star Cave, there is no trace of him. How strange?"

Paimon stroked his chin and said, "Hmm... Did he come up with some research results? Was he in seclusion there? Or did he secretly find some treasure at the bottom of the snowy mountain, or some rare delicious food from ancient times?"

"It's so cold in the snowy mountains, if anything is frozen, it would have died, but it seems possible that there was delicious fresh wild boar meat five hundred years ago."

Ying held her forehead and said, "You want to eat wild boar meat again."

"Hmm!" Paimon said with a look of knowing. "Although the snow mountain wild boar meat is not as good as the extinct wild boar that Xiangling and I found in the secret realm last year, it tastes really good."

Ying looked at the lifeless dead tree in front of her and said, "Now that it's over, let's go back to Albedo's camp, recheck Albedo's magic sword, and then go to the south of the snowy mountain to find the frozen wild boar."

"This magic sword has been strongly resonating with something over the past two days. The degree of this resonance has increased a lot compared to before."

Paimon flew to the intersection: "Then let's go find Albedo!"

Ying nodded and took a step forward.

Suddenly, I felt the snow on the ground shaking. Snow fell from the cliff, rolling and growing into an avalanche.

"Earthquake?" Paimon was startled.

The vibration disappeared quickly.

Ying and Paimon avoid the avalanche.

"The snow mountain is becoming more and more dangerous." Ying frowned. Not to mention the heavy snow, the vibration alone was very unusual.

"Is there a change in the ley lines?" Paimon looked at the ground. "Earthquakes in Teyvat are usually caused by ley lines."

Ying walked towards the teleportation anchor point, ready to ask Albedo.

This time the transmission took unexpectedly long.

This device rooted in the earth veins seemed to have fallen into disrepair and was stuck for a long time.

Snow mountain animals ran panicked in the snow, and monsters that were sensitive to changes in the earth's veins gathered towards the top of the mountain.

The luminous plants affected by the energy of the earth veins gradually dim at the foot of the mountain and gradually glow at the top of the mountain, demonstrating the changes in the concentration and radiation of the earth vein energy.

The heavy snow suddenly disappeared.

The bone-chilling cold began to warm up.

The sky became clear for a moment.

Anyone who gazes at the snow-capped mountains can see the blue-green light bands and twisting ring-shaped white clouds on the mountains, which belong to the "Nail of the Cold Sky".

The experimental materials that Jiang Yi had fixed on the "Frost Day Nail" suddenly fell off from the cross section.

It fell from a great height, landed on the snow, hit the rocks, and turned into powder.

In the dream, Jiang Yi frowned, looking at the "Frost Sky Nail" on the top of the snow-capped mountain, then looked back at the countless unfulfilled dreams belonging to the dead that emerged from the snow-capped mountain.

Unfulfilled wishes and things that cannot be allowed flowed like a river into the dark sea.

And this sea is Jiang Yi's Qi sea.

The darkness that came from the crimson depths of Durin's heart emerged from the sea.

It was a figure shaped like a giant snake, with dark scales swallowing up all light.

This is some mysterious force that chose to manifest itself in this way.

The pitch-black snake began to swim upwards along the meridians.

Wherever it passed, the crimson blood, filthy elements, mutated earth vein energy, and the little pure true qi were all devoured by it.

It traveled through the five internal organs and the limbs and bones, obtaining all the power stored in Jiang Yi's body, as well as the secret of power.

At this moment, it seems like some kind of myth is reappearing.

Jiang Yi's body was filled with the filth and poison of the Human World Tree, and its entire body turned crimson as if it was burning.

The pitch-black snake was born from the ocean of energy that nurtured the World Tree. Starting from the roots, it climbed up the trunk, greedily gnawing at the world, devouring the World Tree that was injected with a deadly poison and was withering, burning, and decaying.

The entire inner world is collapsing.

The entire human universe is losing its luster and decaying endlessly.

Earth, fire, water, wind, the four elements, the five elements of the eight directions, the thick earth, were all dyed and swallowed up by the dark halo.

As a result, the earth shook.

The Arctic Kunlun formed by the Five Sacred Mountains, the flowing waterfalls, the lush forests, the mountains and valleys, the snow-capped peaks... all are pitch black.

The immortal caves, the worldly life, all the spirits in the mountains...are ruined and dead.

What died were the earth veins and elements, and the heavenly world transformed by the sword.

The giant snake opened its bloody mouth, like a python swallowing an elephant, like Nidhogg destroying all the gods.

It coiled up and occupied every corner of Jiang Yi's body.

At this point, the human heart, the dragon's heart, became its heart; the human organs, the dragon's organs, became its organs; the human blood, the dragon's blood, became its blood; the human bones, the dragon's bones, became its bones...

It devoured everything, grew stronger inside Jiang Yi's body, and transformed into a demon dragon and an evil dragon.

Now, it raised its pitch-black snake head and looked towards the sky inside the human body. The neck represented the nine heavens and sea of ​​clouds, thousands of winds and clouds, and all kinds of thunder and lightning.

The giant's breathing stopped.

So, it passed through the nine heavens, destroyed the sky, corrupted the wind and clouds, and entered the sky.

Arrived at the top of the World Tree.

The withered branches of the world's trees are digested in its body, and the collapsed Kunlun Mountains fill its stomach.

The nine heavens are pitch black, and the "Divine Wheel of the Elements of the Heavens" represents the sun in the sky.

The nine-colored rays of light fell, unable to shake the darkness, and so the divine wheel fell.

The shadow of the evil Chi dragon penetrated into the brain.

The stars that condense the light of wisdom in the sky began to dim.

The sun, moon and stars disappeared.

Only the Bodhi Pure Land with the memory palace bursts with the divine light of the sword, wanting to open up a new world in the darkness.

The evil Chi demon dragon occupied the head, and the wings of wind "Wings of Death of Morning Glory" fell into its belly and grew again on its back.

Its eyes are like a combination of human eyes, and the entire human universe is occupied by it.

Between the eyebrows, a faint light flickered.

The soul is the new battlefield.

"Albedo, we're back." Ying and Paimon walked into Albedo's camp through the thick snow.

Albedo sat by the fire, a sketchbook in one hand and a pen in the other.

In the sketchbook, there is a snowy mountain.

"Did you... feel anything?"

Ying said solemnly: "Something unusual seems to have happened in the snow mountain. The oppression coming from the mountain makes people feel uneasy."

Paimon agreed, "It turns out that the birds flying in the sky are starting to fly away from the snowy mountains."

Albedo stood up and said, "All the energy of the snow mountain's earth veins is converging towards the mountain top."

"Besides...something happened in Sleeping Dragon Valley."

Ying asked, "What happened?"

Albedo walked towards the entrance of the camp: "There have been advance teams of the Fatui stationed near the Sleeping Dragon Valley. Now, all of them have been killed."

"The dragon heart that belonged to Durin has lost most of its vigorous vitality. The entire dragon heart is almost exhausted."

Paimon was horrified: "Ah! Did the Fatui steal Durin's power, and then someone robbed them?"

Ying frowned: "The advance team of the Fatui is not something that ordinary people can deal with. Are there any traces of elements left at the scene?"

Albedo looked at Ying and said nothing.

The power left at the scene is so special.

"Wait!" Paimon felt something was wrong. "Durin's power is all poison and filth. Apart from the Fatui, who would dare to attack Durin?"

Ying felt a little uneasy.

"No way?"

The camp fell into silence.

"Hmm? Hmm?" A person who had been missing for many days popped up in Paimeng's mind, "No, no, no! It can't be Jiang Yi!"

"Ying, Albedo..." She looked at the two of them.

Albedo put away the sketchbook and said, "Yes, Paimon, you have become much smarter. Although I can't be 100% sure, it is very likely Jiang Yi."

"But he was very patient in studying 'how to crack Durin's poison' before. Now, can't he resist his desire?"

"He is a crazy genius, but he is only crazy about himself and will not hurt others. He knows the consequences of poison and filthiness that will be brought to those around him, and he shouldn't do this..."

Ying pondered together.
