Chapter 232 Abyss
Broken jade...? The bluish-green jade seems somewhat similar to the clear water jade, a specialty of Liyue's Sunken Jade Valley.
However, in terms of both texture and luster, this jade pendant is far superior to ordinary clear water jade.
Mu Feng played with the one-third broken piece of jade pendant in his hand, his fingertips gently stroking the irregular break in the jade.
It seemed to shatter because it couldn't withstand the burst of power from within, but the jade itself was quite hard. What kind of power could have caused it to shatter?
Moreover, he seemed to have no recollection of this jade appearing during this simulation.
In the past, the first simulation reward in Fontainebleau was a key to the Maple Dew Cafe, while the second simulation reward was a doll that Pepe and the others made together when they were little.
Both of these items are important props in the simulated story, but the appearance of this broken jade is completely different.
So, could he guess that this piece of jade might be related to a simulation that has not yet begun?
Mu Feng wanted to summon the system to ask questions, but the answers he received were always vague and ambiguous, so he simply gave up.
It seems we won't get an answer from the system, but this also suggests that his guess might be correct.
Who owned the jade, why it broke, and who has the remaining two-thirds? It seems we'll only find the answers in the next simulation.
Furthermore... if that's the case, then there would be a simulated item that appeared before the simulation occurred, which would overturn his previous conjecture that simulations affect reality.
However, if the simulation is based on real history, then he would have to appear in both the House of Hearths and the City of Sumeru within the same timeframe, which would defy common sense.
Therefore, the emergence of the system was not accidental.
What is the essence of simulation, and what exactly is a system, and what is its purpose?
Perhaps, for a long time to come, he will be traveling in search of this truth.
Mu Feng sighed deeply. It seemed that his plan to stay in Fengdan and live off Yingmei after resolving the issues of the prophecy and the fetal water was still in vain.
Plans really do change. Is he really going to have to scaveng the entire Teyvat to collect all seven Dragon Balls and summon Shenron?
Such good fortune should be reserved for Teyvat's greatest traveler (or rather, the leader).
However, it's better to address the current issues rather than worrying about the next simulation and what comes after.
A flash of wind elemental force swept through, and the glass windows near the treetops swung open instantly, letting a gust of cold wind rush into the hotel room. But Mu Feng had already vanished from the room.
The experience of the previous two blood simulations told Mu that rather than believing the system's nonsense that simulations and reality were completely independent and had no impact on each other, he would rather believe that he was Qin Shi Huang.
Logically speaking, since he no longer exists in the World Tree, everyone should have forgotten him.
But why did the hotel receptionist today subconsciously call him "the Great Sage"?
Mu Feng put on his hood, using the "leaf-covering" technique to move swiftly. He then leaped down, brushing past several guests.
If this is not a coincidence, then what exactly happened to Sumeru after he took away forbidden knowledge?
It seems the plans have changed; before leaving Ormosport for Mondstadt, he must stay in Sumeru for a while.
He hurried into the night, skillfully taking the less traveled paths, heading towards the city of Sumeru.
There, is
Behind them, the guests walked straight into the hotel, went upstairs, and stood in front of a room, but did not go in, as if they were waiting for something.
However, they didn't have to wait long. Soon, a white-haired boy wearing a fox-and-wolf hood walked over, carrying a golden spear, followed by the innkeeper.
The boss looked very nervous, kept talking about something, and his hand holding the keys was trembling slightly.
Grand Disciplinarian Seno, accompanied by a large group of disciplinary officers, suddenly arrives at the door. Who on earth has broken the heavenly rules?
"Open the door. The disciplinary officer is investigating a case. Please cooperate."
After calling out several times, there was no response from inside the door. Seno immediately gestured with his eyes, and the boss shakily inserted the spare key into the lock and turned the handle.
The door opened, and a cold wind rushed in. Apart from the wide-open windows and fluttering curtains, there was no one there.
Sino slipped into the room, a piece of dust missing from the windowsill, and his eyes instantly became much sharper.
They're too late; there were people here just a moment ago.
……
On the other side, there was an abyss, its location unknown.
The main hall was empty and desolate, with dilapidated stone pillars standing in the darkness. A faint purple firelight illuminated a blurry blood-red carpet that stretched all the way to the deepest part of the darkness.
There, a statue of the Seven Gods hangs upside down on chains, and a mesmerizing dark vortex swirls within an eerie purple sphere.
This is the Abyss, a realm beyond the world.
Fire elementals swirled, and a furry abyssal fire mage teleported into existence, bowing respectfully to the throne at the end of the red carpet.
"Your Highness, your blood relative has shown signs of awakening, which, according to our calculations, should happen within the next few months."
"Furthermore, the Abyss's erosion of the East Wind Dragon is nearing its end, and your plans in Mondstadt can begin at any time."
"Once you control the Wind Demon Dragon and find the eye of the first tiller, you'll be one step closer to truly mastering the 'Loom of Destiny.'"
"At that time, Your Highness, the restoration of Kanria will be in sight, and you and we will once again rebuild Kanria's glory!"
The abyss mage's tone was highly seductive, but the boy on the throne merely waved his hand, his expression indifferent.
He toyed with the Descent Sword in his hand, staring at the Fire Abyss Mage with an imposing gaze, and calmly uttered a few words.
"Understood, everything is proceeding according to plan."
The Fire Abyss Mage bowed, then vanished in an instant, leaving behind only a pile of burnt ashes.
After a long while, Kong stood up and walked down the stone steps of the main hall, his footsteps echoing in the empty space.
Ying is about to wake up... The plan is about to begin again.
Kong gazed at the reversed Seven Gods statue from afar, the purplish-black vortex still swirling, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
Although I don't know what your plans are this time, I still hope that your plan will succeed this time...
Also, remember to protect Ying for me.
Ying, wait for me a little longer. We will meet again in the sea of flowers you long for.
