Chapter 871 It's just a matter of each getting what they want.
"The destruction of Nata could happen in an instant. Even if everyone risked their lives, it would only delay things a little longer and would have no impact on the final outcome."
"The plan to lure and kill Gusteau was probably a risky move devised by that cowardly god and Mavica, designed to force me to speed up my pace..."
At this point, Kong no longer cares about the destruction of Nata or the end of Teyvat.
His mind is completely blank right now.
How could Ying possibly sacrifice herself for such a world? She clearly wanted to travel to all the planets with him to see the most beautiful scenery and the most spectacular wonders!
Moreover, if Ying has already given everything for this world, then who is the younger sister that Ying has been searching for all along, who is she so determined to restore the Kingdom of Kanria?
However, he adapted to this world as if he were a fish in water, and could enter countless secret realms without any effort. He was even more adept at using elemental power than most of the natives in this world, and he used more types of elemental power, with better effects and smoother application than those talented natives!
All of these prove that Brother Xu was not lying.
"No, I can't accept this, Ying... Ying must still be waiting for me somewhere. We will meet again somewhere, and then leave this place... I don't want to hear what you have to say anymore. I can't stop. I have to keep searching for Ying..."
Kong suddenly stood up, grabbed Paimon who had just run over, and slipped out of the cave amidst a barrage of questions from the little white-haired boy: "Are you leaving without eating?"
A moment of silence fell over the Hidden Dust Cave. Mavica walked over and said, "I'll arrange for two people to follow him."
Xu Ning remained noncommittal. "Once this battle is over, your life will be on a countdown. If possible, I hope that Serene can pay the price for opening the God Throne on your behalf, and we can also take this opportunity to gather 'them' together..."
This statement surprised even Mavica.
He opened his divine throne by borrowing the power of the "Ruler of Death," and in return, that being will surely descend to take his life.
I've also heard that Barbatos has some connection with the "Ruler of Time," but how do we invite the other two?
In particular, is it possible that the "ruler of reason" who claims to be the "upholder of heavenly principles" will make an appearance?
However, Xu Ning didn't seem worried about these things. "Now that we've finished discussing our business, it's time to invite Serene in for a seat."
When the group entered the Hidden Dust Cave, Xu Ning did not invite the "captain," and he did not get angry because he was ignored.
When Xu Ning and Mavica came out, they saw him standing quietly on the stone platform, his hands behind his back, looking at the totems around him, seemingly lost in thought.
Mavica bid farewell to the two and went back to attend the Nata tribe's victory celebration banquet, while Xu Ning invited the "captain" into the cave.
"Absolutely stunning and magnificent! Lord Saigong truly has a grand vision. I've been too narrow-minded these past years..."
"Captain" looked around at the beautiful scenery of Dust-Hidden Cave and praised it.
With the addition of two more Hearts of God, although it may seem like nothing has changed as Paimon said, the transformation of this space actually began once the elements were complete.
Not only can we see weather changes such as sunshine, rain, thunder, lightning, wind, snow, fog, and haze everywhere, but the frequency of the world's vibrations also seems to have increased, which should be because the world's growth rate is also accelerating.
Given the "captain's" special physique, Xu Ning didn't offer him any wine, but instead picked up the wine jar and took a sip himself.
"These past years must have been tough, haven't they?"
The captain's gaze swept over the various wine springs before finally settling on a large tree not far from the Thousand Leaf Wine Spring.
"You'll get used to it. After all, you can't leave a hero homeless. So... is that my medicine...?"
Xu Ning seemed to find the "captain's" description of the World Tree quite amusing, but still nodded and said, "Haha, that's right, it's a good thing that can let you sleep well for a few days!"
Even the "captain," whose body was as solid as a rock, couldn't help but tremble slightly, indicating the excitement of his master. "When can we begin?"
Xu Ning waved his hand, and a long branch suddenly emerged from the newly grown World Tree, reaching out to the "captain".
The "captain" gently unbuttoned his robe, revealing a decaying, withered chest... and a slightly rotating metal sphere at his heart.
"bring it on!"
The branch carefully pierced through the decaying flesh and gently touched the sphere.
Suddenly, the sphere shone brightly, and countless points of light could be seen breaking free from its constraints and converging along the branch toward the World Tree.
As the light faded, the "captain's" body seemed to begin to relax. Although his back remained straight as a pine tree, he did indeed appear to have relaxed.
This process lasted a long time.
Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, who had been wandering around for some time, came over and looked at the scene for a while. He couldn't help but frown. "How can this person have so many souls hidden inside him? There are enough to form an army."
Xu Ning, sipping his drink, gave a thumbs-up. "You guessed perfectly. This really is the size of an army. The Nata ley lines are shattered, unable to bear the resting place of the souls. This guy was afraid his comrades would have nowhere to go after they died, so he carried them all on his back for hundreds of years. I'm afraid he hasn't had a proper night's sleep in all that time. I'm really afraid that if he relaxes, he'll just sleep to death in my cave. Not only would that be bad luck, but it might also affect my next plans..."
Just as Xu Ning said, as a large number of light spots entered the World Tree, the gradually relaxing "Captain" actually fell into a deep sleep while sitting there.
And this sleep lasted for two days and two nights.
Nata's victory celebration had ended, and the Fools and the Thousand Rocks Army had spontaneously assembled, only to find that their respective leaders were nowhere to be found. If it weren't for Lord Vulcan's suppression, both sides would probably have taken their frustration at not being able to find their leaders and started fighting each other.
"You're finally awake! If you hadn't woken up, I'm afraid I would have had to take on even more credit for killing the Fatui Enforcers."
When the "captain's" figure emerged from the Hidden Dust Cave and landed beside Xu Ning, Xu Ning said half-jokingly.
"I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time... Thank you."
Xu Ning waved his hand, "No need to be so polite. What you need is to give them a home, while what I need is their emotions and memories. You understand, it's just a matter of each getting what they want."
The captain knew Xu Ning was telling the truth, so he didn't say anything more and turned to look down the hillside.
"You're still worried about this young man..."
Xu Ning picked up the gourd and took a sip. "I was relieved at first, but last night Little White Hair sneaked over and knocked on my gourd, saying that my brother might be overthinking things and is acting a bit strange, probably having gone mad. So I came over to check on him."
