Chapter 601 The Descending Star, My Dark Fate, Leonard

On the platform of the ruins.

Blue lights interweave and shine, and astrological runes flicker.

Mona peers into the stars.

After a while, she put away the water divination plate and raised her hands in thought.

"The destined moment has arrived, my court astrologer, have your eyes already clearly explored the revelation of fate?" Fischl asked.

"Hmm!" Mona groaned for a moment, "How amazing! This is the first time I've seen something like this."

She raised her head: "According to the divination results, these meteorites seem to be someone's fate."

"Jiang Yi, is that right?"

Jiang Yi nodded.

"Indeed."

Paimon looked surprised: "So the truth about the meteorite is the constellation of fate."

"Isn't the fate constellation a concept in astrology?"

"No!" Mona shook her head. "Generally speaking, ordinary people would think so, but I have studied astrology for a long time and know some things you don't know."

"The 'Destiny Star' on the 'Destiny Constellation' is a real star that exists deep in the sky, not just a concept."

"After the holder of the Eye of God has reached a certain level of cultivation, he can gradually sense his own constellation and star from vague to clear."

“Hmm?” Fischl was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed wildly, “Destiny is in my hands. The deep crow’s eye, the shadow feathers of the Holy Judge, the abyss of black wings… have been consecrated for the Princess of Judgment.”

Shen He was not surprised at all. As a disciple of an immortal, he naturally knew things that ordinary people did not know.

Ying's thoughts were in a mess.

"Speaking of which, after I touched the Seven Heavenly God Statue of Mondstadt and Liyue, a fate seat was opened for each of them. It seems that each of them has six fate stars?"

"Is it because these two destinies gave me the blessing of wind and rock that I can use the elemental power of Teyvat?"

"The stars shine upon me. Is there a place for me in Teyvat?"

Jiang Yi, a man without destiny or star, suddenly thought of something when he heard the words "destiny seat" and "destiny star".

"Although Ying and I are both from the outside world, the nature of our control over the elements is different. I was transformed by force, while Ying was given by the Seven-Day Statue."

"Remember... in the game, there were also people from another world who appeared. They obtained the Eye of the God of Ice Element with a special shell style. They had an illusory constellation, but no star. The text said that their destiny had not yet arrived and could not be lit."

"And I don't seem to even have a dim constellation. It's just a vague black mass, so there is no destiny in astrology."

"Teyvat didn't give me the Eye of God to recognize my wish."

"Maybe it was my shortcoming in the past, but now my realm is high enough to obtain the Eye of God. Why don't you have it yet?"

“Is it the exclusion of the rules?”

"Just like the flower from another world that could not sprout in Albedo's hand, and withered in an instant after blooming."

“It’s only partially recognized.”

"In the source of my life... could it be that there is a darkness that Teyvat rejects?"

"Or... my fate... has also largely turned to darkness."

Jiang Yi suddenly felt heavy-hearted.

The power of the dark universe, destiny is a non-existent twisted darkness.

I'm not here to destroy Teyvat, no! I'm not here to be a villain who changes the world, am I?

If one really travels through time and space in the universe and does not take the possible Teyvat portal, the time one spends in the dark void of the universe and the impact one receives will definitely be greater than that of the world.

If there is destiny, it is not surprising that it has been assimilated by darkness.

Darkness, chaos, disorder, and unobservable are all signs of a person without life.

Also, there is the golden finger that uses energy as nourishment.

But will darkness fight darkness? The fight between the body and darkness is different between darkness and darkness. Just like the darkness between Durin and the Beast Realm Hound, one is actually a poison that destroys everything, and the other is a horror that corrodes the world.

And perhaps it was because he had once had contact with the Beast Realm Hounds and tasted their bone soup, which he did not fully digest at the time, causing the secret accumulation of power, which mutated in the snow-capped mountains and reacted again with the formation diagram that dissolved space, allowing him to gain two kinds of dark expression abilities.

Mona could not have imagined that because of her words, the people in front of her had so many thoughts.

She continued: "It is impossible for distant stars to suddenly fall to the ground. But the facts are so contradictory."

"Very strange..."

"Do you have any other clues? The more I know, the more I can see the truth."

Mona was a little discouraged. She couldn't see through the truth as instantly as Jiang Yi. Could it be that the other party's realm was so high?

She could easily tell whether Jiang Yi was lying or not.

It must be because I didn’t personally participate in the meteorite investigation.

"Heh! My court astrologer, do you need a hint from me? I have already seen the truth from behind the curtain of darkness when I traveled across the stars. What I lack is the location where the seeds of nightmares have descended."

On the way back to Mondstadt and to Mona's house, Fischl had secretly compared answers with Jiang Yi. It was mainly Fischl who spoke and Jiang Yi nodded or shook his head.

"Hmm? Fischl, you're not trying to prove to me once again your Eyes of Judgment that can see through cause and effect, are you?" Mona knew Fischl's character.

The other party knew the truth and still came to her, probably to refute something that happened before.

They were just joking around, but she accidentally let her competitive spirit get aroused, and wanted to compete with the bullshitter Fischl in divination to see who was more powerful, astrology or the other's Eye of Judgment.

then……

The power of the Eye of Judgment has been temporarily sealed.

Fischl would never admit that he was so naive.

It’s just that the Eye of Judgment suddenly regained its power in the past two days.

“Heh!” Fischl said with a bit of pride as a princess, “It’s a curse. Someone cursed it!”

"The cursed land, the evil thoughts of 'people'... Only those who died in agony would leave such deep resentment."

"We should ask the inhabitants of this land who committed the unforgivable sin! Whoever gave birth to the undead is the real murderer!"

It sounds like it has nothing to do with the truth.

But after thinking about what Fischl said for a long time, Jiang Yi realized that it made sense, so he nodded.

Mona looked confused. She had been with Fischl for a long time and could understand what he said, which made her more suspicious of the truth? What was even more outrageous was that Jiang Yi also thought that this was part of the truth.

Is the only astrology that offers a glimpse into reality, and the greatest astrologer, fake?

Paimon tried to smooth things over: "Okay, Mona, leave the two Riddlers alone."

"I'll tell you the clue."

"All those affected by the meteorite will dream of an unknown snow-capped mountain. The mountain is covered with snow and is very cold."

"This snow mountain is not the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain. It is a snow mountain that appears to the dreamer to be very high. It seems to be much higher than the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain."

"They kept walking, and even when they couldn't walk anymore, they kept moving forward."

"The snowy mountains are very cold, so cold that the dreamer can't feel the warmth even though he is under the sun."

"By the way, we also asked some people who woke up."

"They said they were very tired. Even if it was just a dream, when they woke up they felt like they had walked for who knows how long, climbed a mountain for who knows how long, and were tired, hungry and cold."

"Someone said that the snowy mountain was very high and very cold... It was the highest peak they had ever seen, so high that it was above the clouds and seemed to touch the starry sky."

"They didn't know why they went to the snowy mountains in their dreams. They just knew that it was like they were possessed by a ghost. In their dreams, they only wanted to climb the mountain and reach the highest peak."

"Is there anything good on the mountain? They can't tell."

"It's like they become a different person when they fall asleep. They don't want to climb, but someone is controlling them to climb and making them want to climb."

Paimon talked for a long time, and Mona held her chin.

"Everyone has a common dream, which is located on the snowy mountains."

"The desire to climb the mountain was not spontaneous, but subconscious, as if I was under mind control."

"Everyone in the dream uncontrollably wanted to climb to the top of a snowy mountain that was extremely cold, towering into the clouds, and unprecedented in appearance..."

"To reach the top of a mountain... so eager that it can even affect others?"

"The constellation of destiny, the star of destiny."

Mona stretched out her hands, drew a circle in front of her, and condensed a water divination plate with the water element.

"...Leonard."

"I found a new clue. It's the name of the owner of this constellation star, Leonard!"

“The others cannot be seen for the time being.”

"However, Fischl and Jiang Yi, please don't talk for now. I will go find it myself."

Ying and Paimon recalled the books they had read: "Leonard... I've never heard of this name before."

Jiang Yi crossed his arms and looked at the blue sky and white clouds.

"For a mortal to attempt to climb the mountain to touch the sky and get close to the stars is indeed an unforgivable sin in Teyvat, an evil thought against the sky."

"Fischl's words are indeed correct."

"Especially now that the meteorite brings secrets."

"When the Snow Mountain left me the will to climb the mountain in my dream, could it be for a ritual?"

"The earth veins remember everything, and also remember the unwillingness."

"An unfulfilled dream..."

Another meteor streaked across the sky.

Mona continued her divination, this time predicting the locations where many meteorites would fall.

"All right!"

"My star chart has captured the trajectory of fate. Next, I will calculate the location of the meteorite's fall for you. Mark it on the maps of Mondstadt and Liyue."

"In Mondstadt, meteorites have fallen near Starfall Lake, Whispering Forest, Starpicking Cliff, Thousand Winds Temple, Dadaupa Valley, and Cape of Oath."

"In Liyue, Guiliyuan, Mingyun Town, Yaoguang Beach, Wuwangpo, Qingce Manor, Guyun Pavilion... Also, Qingyun Peak, Huaguang Forest, Hulao Mountain and other places nearby."

Mondstadt’s was okay, but Mona spent a lot of time calculating the special locations in Liyue.

"Subsequent meteorite landing points are probably also within these ranges."

Paimon looked at the densely packed marks on the map.

“Isn’t this everywhere?”

Ying felt the difficulty of the task: "But, we have narrowed the scope and can directly search for the location."

"Let's act separately!" Jiang Yi was a little embarrassed. He would need his friends' help now.

"It's a piece of Jueyun Pavilion, which is difficult for mortals to enter. Senior sister, please go back and help collect it! Guyun Pavilion has a special environment, so I'm going to trouble you."

"Ying, use the teleportation anchor to send Shen He away."

Ying put her hands on her hips and said, "Okay! Then I'll help collect the other places in Liyue. I can teleport and I'm the fastest."

"Mond, leave it to me, the Princess of Judgment." Fischl was very motivated.

"I will also collect them myself." Jiang Yi saw that Shen He had something to say, "Don't worry, I am now strong enough to protect myself. I also have three Yaksha generals with me."

"Yandora will also protect the weak Jiang Yi." Yandora poked her head out from the water bottle on Jiang Yi's waist. She was a little thirsty from the sun.

"Mona, just take a rest. You can change the location for us here in two days." Jiang Yi finally reminded, "Be careful of the monsters near the meteorite, and the Fatui."

"Safety first."

"If you can't win, come back and call for help. Let's attack together."

“Hehe!” Fischl flicked her golden hair. “The Princess of Judgment will surely wipe out all the villainous enemies.”

Following the transmission light, Ying and Shen He left.

Jiang Yi took out the longbow "Ode to Wind and Flower" from his ring, took Yandora and the mechanical crab with him, and first went to clean up the meteorites at the Thousand Winds Temple.
