Chapter 694 Feeding the Sword with Laws, Sharpening the Sword to Protect Yourself

"Ying, I'll give you half." Jiang Yi dug into the cave. These stones were quite different from the elemental crystals formed by the reaction of other elements with rock elements. They were very magical.

Ying accepted it without hesitation.

"So, you used this to detect that the Dragon King Ruota was possessed by Kunjun?" Paimeng said.

“Yes!” Zhongli nodded. “There are many clues along the way, and they are all connected in some way… The Dragon Suppression Stone is a crystal creation, there are very few of them, and they are not well-known. In that war, only a small part of it was preserved for a long time. And it was mined out hundreds of years ago.”

"Why would modern Liyue people look for an ore that no longer exists? Among those working in the mining industry, there are some who are interested in Dragon-Suppressing Stone. But people like Kunjun who want to find a stone without knowing why... are very rare."

"I see." Ying handed her sword to Jiang Yi and asked him to help forge it. "If Kunjun knew about the existence of this stone, he should have known that it had been mined. This strange point makes you doubt its purpose."

Zhongli saw the scenery beside the carriage: "Although I defeated him at the end of that battle, it does not mean that he is inferior to me. In his heart, he still has friendship for me, Liyue, and even the life on earth."

"He was sealed voluntarily. Unfortunately, he forgot about it due to 'wear and tear'."

Ying frowned. What happened today made her realize how terrible the power of "wear and tear" was.

"You said you were 'worn out' as well?"

Zhongli nodded: "Yes! I can't escape either. But I understand one thing better than most people: when it's time to leave, you have to leave."

"The more powerful a force is, the greater the danger it poses after being 'worn out'. After thousands of years of erosion, even rocks...will occasionally feel tired."

Jiang Yi thought of Ganyu. Ganyu's resilience beneath her gentle appearance was truly strong. If she hadn't seen the Emperor step down and felt shaken, she wouldn't have fallen into the confusion of leaving Liyue Harbor before.

After the confusion was resolved, I immediately got down to work.

"That's why you decided to leave and give up the position of Rock God..." Ying said.

"Seal my old friend with my own hands, which is also one of the 'wear and tear' I have experienced. In order to follow the right path, people constantly give up and lose. Perhaps this is the 'wear and tear' that 'heaven's law' has imposed on me."

"But I am the god of mankind. No matter how my identity changes, I will use my eyes to witness the history of mankind." Zhongli straightened his back. This is a promise and a contract, and even wear and tear cannot change it.

Beside him, Jiang Yi held up two swords in his hands, with bright light shining on the swords.

Heavenly justice...

He was slightly dazed.

The Emperor is the wear and tear of emotions.

I am lucky and don't have this kind of worry, but I still have to be prepared for danger.

The fate of Teyvat has been determined, and these wear and tear may not be a conspiracy.

A sense of fateful opposition emerged in Jiang Yi's heart. If a time traveler does not rebel against "heaven", he would lose face if he said it to others.

It all started with the Demon War.

The demons have the power to resist fate, so is the war between demons the Teyvat version of "Two Peaches Kill Three Warriors" for the natural law?

Heaven does not want the powerful demon gods to threaten its own position, so it appoints seven rulers of the mortal world to provoke the demon gods to fight each other, and finally involves many beings who have no intention of joining the war.

For example, Wendy, who was originally a wind elf, gave hope to humans because they were believed in and prayed for. Zhongli, who had no intention of competing, protected the people because of their suffering and gave them a contract of peace in return...

If there is no war, will they be unable to protect their friends? Will they witness their friends' death?

After becoming one of the seven rulers of the world, wear and tear is still like a soft knife cutting flesh.

Only by traveling can you witness the truth.

He would never think so much when reading the plot in the game, but coming to this world in person forced him to think carefully.

Every step you take now determines the width and height of the future.

"Then preparation is far from enough..."

"For example, this sword is not sharp enough. Even after absorbing the power of the Dragon-Suppressing Stone, it is only a quantitative change, not a qualitative change." A battle made Jiang Yi rethink the way to upgrade his weapon.

"Although both are five-star weapons, the difference between my weapon and the 'Rainbow Spear' in Zhongli's hand is huge, and it is also inferior to the 'Harmonious Kite' in the hand of the Great Sage Who Conquers the Demons."

"This gap is... law and power."

"A weapon that truly suits you and can bring out your greatest strength should match the strength in your body."

"So this sword should carry my laws."

"Use the sun, moon, and stars to refine it and improve your foundation. When you gain power or great Dao comparable to that of a demon god in the future, you can naturally carry the great Dao and become a true divine soldier..."

"Only in this way can we resist accidents and challenge... the laws of nature!"

Jiang Yi upgraded Ying's sword and returned it to her.

He picked up the "Shenhui Yanzhan" in his hand, injected the Xuanhuang true Qi into it, evolved the Eight Diagrams, blessed the laws of dreams, penetrated into its core little by little, and changed the sword body.

The stone whale above gradually transformed and became illusory.

His fingers touched the blade.

"Feed the many laws, and when the whale falls, all things will come to life... Follow me to attain enlightenment."

"Then the sword will have a new name, a real name."

He had already thought of a name and was waiting for the day when he would use the laws to engrave it on the sword.

There is no name on the sword now. Only when it attains enlightenment will it get its true name.

Start singing your own path to God.

Zhongli looked at Jiang Yi, watching him silently touching the sword.

I hope that you can always be as vigorous as a sword in the long years to come.

"You still care about Liyue very much..." Paimon's words brought Zhongli back to his senses.

"It's nothing, it's my job." Zhongli said gently, "Thank you very much for this time."

"You're welcome!" Paimon said easily.

The carriage arrived at Tianqiu Valley.

King Ruota was sealed again, and he remembered the forgotten years and regained some of his sanity.

The young rock dragon lizards, rock dragon lizards, and ancient rock dragon lizards that were wreaking havoc in the Tianqiu Valley... calmed down their restless emotions after hearing the dragon roar of the earth veins.

“Ruo Tuo…” Zhongli knew that Kunjun had made the final move.

Jiang Yi looked up, the power of Frost Burial was still there, and the dragon lizard was still frozen.

"Remove it! It seems that you don't need to suppress it for five hundred years." He transmitted his consciousness, and then the carriage drove past, and the ice and snow in Tianqiu Valley melted.

The seal of the rock prison inside the mountain was also unlocked.

Under the vigilant gaze of the Qianyan Army, the followers of King Ruota burrowed into the ground one by one and began to fall asleep.

Only a small number of them are wandering on the surface. Although they are naughty, they are no longer as aggressive as before.

They will continue to wait for the day when the Rock Dragon King summons them.

"Following the immortal's footsteps, I see the heavens are majestic; looking back at the ruins of the palace, I feel sad. Hui Ruo Tuo is a wise queen, and I hate that the luxuriant garden has turned into dust."

In Tianqiu Valley, a stone tablet stands among the ruins.

A horse-drawn carriage passed by.

On the cliff, rock elements condense and the rocks automatically act as an arch bridge, allowing it to pass and then disappear.

On the way to the Layered Abyss, Jiang Yi and Lao Dai met up with each other relying on the divination technique to locate them.

He returned the workers to him, declined his thanks, and returned to Liyue Harbor together.
