Chapter 830 is slightly different.
As the solemn and grand music gradually spread outwards, countless golems unconsciously stopped moving.
Each golem slowly turned around and knelt on one knee in the direction of the golden castle.
As they slowly lowered their heads, their souls began to break free from the shackles of the stone statues, gradually transforming into a point of light and heading towards the golden castle.
"If left unchecked, their memories and souls should merge into the deep sea, and then one day, return to the womb of life, and then..."
As Skula gazed at the converging fragments of memories and souls with a sense of wonder, Xu Ning's single sentence left him speechless.
"That's it. I've taken over the fetal sea. They can't go back anywhere except to follow me down this dark path."
Scylla gave a wry smile: "I heard from a passing seahorse a while ago that a new Water Dragon King has been born. I was thinking that one day when I escaped, I would go and pay my respects to Him and ask for a job guarding the Fetal Sea. So it seems that if I want to go back to my old profession, I will have to depend on your approval?"
Xu Ning knew Scylla was joking, so he casually tossed the harp, which was already playing a requiem with a sense of despair, into its mouth.
"Wouldn't it be good for mother and child to be reunited? My place may not be big, but at least here, the door to a new world is always open for you. I'll have to trouble you to bring these Remurians into the sea of wombs."
Scylla nodded, and as its enormous form soared into the sky to the strains of a requiem, countless spirits seemed to find their way, unconsciously following its trajectory and circling above the castle.
Xu Ning lightly flicked the Dust Concealment Gourd in his hand.
With a golden melody, the entire gourd mouth suddenly shone brightly, and a huge magic array was abruptly released.
Scylla let out a low growl, flipped over, and charged into the magic circle, its massive form instantly disappearing into it.
Behind it, countless points of light poured in like a galaxy, and in just a few breaths, the entire ruins of Remuria became completely silent.
"Oops!"
Paimon suddenly shouted, startling the cats around him who jumped away.
Xu Ning poked the little white-haired boy with a finger. "What's all the fuss about?! What's wrong?"
“Before we came in, we talked to the townspeople. Their bodies were clearly possessed by those Remurians. You just took away all those souls, did you take away the souls of the residents of Petrico Town too? We have to bring them back…”
Paimon said somewhat anxiously, and then even thought of taking advantage of the chaos to sneak into the Dust Concealment Gourd by blending into the cluster of light spots.
Unfortunately, Xu Ning reacted quickly, grabbing her cloak and pulling her back.
"Don't worry, the townspeople are in the same state as Cassiodo and this cat. It's just that the Remurians' soul strength is greater than that of the townspeople, so their consciousness is temporarily suppressed. When the Remurians' soul leaves, the townspeople will naturally wake up. As for what they've experienced these past two days, it's just like having a dream while they're asleep."
"As for you," Xu Ning laughed, "Do you think I didn't see you and Kong whispering over there? What are you trying to do by sneaking into my cave?"
Paimon chuckled sheepishly, "I haven't seen Qingyi in a long time, so I've been wanting to go see her..."
Xu Ning released her hand, smoothed out the wrinkles on the white-haired girl's cloak, and did not expose her lie.
"I think you miss her cooking, but she's been a bit busy lately... I'll let you have her cook for now, and I'll make sure to treat you to a big meal later."
For some reason, when Paimon heard Xu Ning say that Qingyi was very busy, he suddenly remembered the huge pile of strange books in Qingyi's room, and could only obediently nod, "It must be very, very plentiful."
Xu Ning turned to the cat and asked, "And you, Cassiodor, are you continuing your wandering adventures? Or...?"
Cassiodor put a shield around the cat, and then a blue light emanated from the cat.
"Remuria has finally become a part of history, and there is no need for me to remain. I should stay with my former companions."
Xu Ning nodded and reached out to guide Cassiopeia's soul into the Dust Concealment Gourd.
As for the cat who suddenly realized it couldn't swim and started to panic, it was held in Sora's arms.
Xu Ning walked over and gave the cat's head a couple of carefree pats.
"Real cats are so much more fun to pet, unlike that guy Cassiodorus, who flashes his claws the moment you touch him... Male or female?"
When Xu Ning tried to lift the cat by its hind paws, the cat finally bristled and lashed out with three claws, giving Xu Ning a vicious blow.
When Xu Ning rubbed his chin and appeared in Fontaine with Kong and the others, he immediately said goodbye to the two little ones.
"Brother Xu, what's next? ...Going back to Liyue?"
Kong asked earnestly.
Xu Ning smiled slightly, "Of course we're going back to Liyue. After all, we stayed in Fontainebleau for quite a while this time, and I really miss the food at Wanmintang. How about it? Want to come back to Liyue with me for a while longer? Same as always, it'll all be on my tab..."
Kong held down Paimon, who was already very excited, and shook his head. "We'll regroup here a bit before heading to Nata. When you're going to Nata, be sure to contact us."
Xu Ning shook his head slightly. "For the time being, I don't have any reason to go to Nata, unless..."
Kong cautiously pressed further, "Unless?"
"Ha, unless they're determined to mess everything up. Well, at least for now, things don't look too bad, do they?"
Xu Ning chuckled, took a sip of his drink, and replied.
Kong couldn't quite understand what Xu Ning meant by "messing everything up," but he couldn't keep asking endlessly, so he could only ask the question that Xu Ning was most likely to answer.
"Brother Xu, are you doing the same thing as Ying right now?"
Xu Ning, who was drinking, was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Kong to ask such a question. He thought about it carefully before answering.
"It's... slightly different, isn't it?"
Looking at Kong's serious face, Xu Ning hesitated for a moment, but decided to explain a little.
"The reason I say it's different is because in her heart, nothing is more important than you, just as nothing is more important than her in your heart. But for me, you are very important, and everything is important too. I will not give up anything, not even a grain of soil or a blade of grass."
