Chapter 801 More Important Than Teyvat
"Haha, the golden retriever is shivering. Looks like he's almost exhausted. Let's all attack together!"
The last two water droplets swaggered into the sky.
Kong was furious. "That's incredibly rude! Who are you calling 'Golden Hair'?!"
Then, with a slap each, he broke the two water droplets apart.
Al exclaimed, "These were all fierce generals under Narcissus, who had clashed with us many times and caused us considerable losses. I never expected that they would all perish at your hands."
Paimon proudly stepped forward to accept the praise, "This was a piece of cake for us... But even though there are no enemies, there are no doors or stairs around here. Where are we going to rescue Princess Lilith?"
Al looked up with difficulty. "Then let's find a way to go up. As long as we abandon our physical forms and gather our power together, we can generate relatively strong magic to take you to the top of the tower."
Paimon exclaimed in surprise, "But wouldn't that mean you'd be..."
Al laughed and said, "Don't worry, giving up our physical form doesn't mean death. We all come from the same body of water, pure water transformed into all sorts of forests and wilderness. And this change isn't one-way. As long as we rescue Princess Lilith, she can separate us again... Anne, you go with them. Princess Lilith is in your care."
Standing in the center of the tower, looking up, he felt, for a moment, as if he were standing in the center of the continent of Teyvat, gazing up at the Sky Island floating in the distant sky.
A sudden realization dawned on Kong's mind: Could it be that my destiny lies there?
But if we want to get there, who will have to sacrifice? How many people will have to be sacrificed?
Kong remained silent for a long time, but after a while, she finally made up her mind.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."
Finally, at the last moment, the little animals stopped arguing, formed a circle to say goodbye to each other, and then simultaneously turned into pure water, intertwining in mid-air to form a giant bubble.
Anna flapped her wings and patted her face. "Cheer up! Okay, let's go. I'll try my best to control the direction of the bubbles..."
Everyone stepped into the bubble, and then, under An's control, the entire bubble suddenly shot into the sky.
The bubble flew at an extremely high speed, and in almost no time it passed through the circular hole at the top of the tower and entered a new room.
This room is almost identical to the room below, but there is a huge portal on the north side of the room.
"Where will this thing teleport us?"
Hearing Kong's question, An seemed a little confused, but looking at the tall mirror in front of her that was flashing with blue light, she suddenly spoke.
"No matter where it spreads, we will definitely go all the way to the end; there's no escaping it..."
That sentence truly struck a chord with an empty heart.
Yes.
If this is truly fate's arrangement, then let's press on with determination.
"Then let's go, An. I'll lead the way this time."
Xu Ning could naturally sense the change in Kong's mindset. He glanced at Kong with appreciation, took a step forward, and placed An Huchi under their protection.
"Go forward boldly, we will protect you and ensure your safety."
Kong nodded heavily, then led Paimon resolutely into the portal.
Katarina watched as Kong strode into the portal and disappeared, then turned to Xu Ning with a sigh and asked, "If this place only represents a memory of the past for me, why does it seem like he cares more about this place? What does this place represent for him... or for you?"
Xu Ning took a sip of wine and followed An, who had already begun to move forward, toward the teleportation portal.
"It represents...a possibility for the future!"
Stepping through the portal, a huge room filled with bookshelves slowly appeared in the familiar pink and blue world.
"It's a library."
Kong, who was standing in front, turned around with a hint of confusion. "Why is it a place like this?"
Ann murmured, "This is the place. This library has been here for a long time. The books are full of ancient plays. If the children couldn't understand them, they would pester the adults to tell them. If there were dragons in the books, there would be heroes who would fight them. If there were wizards, there would be wandering knights. The land would always be restored, and the princess would always be rescued..."
Caterpillar continued, "...and then the clock would always ring, and the adventure would come to an end..."
Anne looked at Cattlepira with a very strange gaze. "But the adventure story never ends. There will always be another adventure, and another adventure, and another adventure, until the children grow up, leave the story behind, and leave this place."
Kong's gaze passed over An Xiaoxiao and landed on Xu Ning.
Although he insisted on coming with Brother Xu for this mission, Kong knew that even without Brother Xu's guidance, he would have ended up here and witnessed all of this sooner or later.
I thought the story would end here: defeat the dragon and save the princess. But then a scene completely in line with the real world appeared, as if the veil of the fairy tale had been suddenly torn off, revealing the most real world to us.
Sora is becoming increasingly concerned about the ending of this story, and he is also becoming more and more convinced that his older brother came for the ending of this story, so the ending of this story must be very important... even more important than Teyvat itself!
Paimon didn't think much of it. She waved her little hand back and forth in front of Anne and Katarina, "Hey, are you guys alright? Why are you suddenly saying such dramatic things? I thought you were under Narcissus's evil illusion!"
An gently shook her head. "Hmm...it's nothing. It's just that a flood of memories and emotions came rushing back just now. It was strange, but also very happy..."
Paimon patted his chest lightly. "Anyway, it's good that you're alright. You seem a bit unfamiliar with this place too. Should we keep going?"
An tilted her head, as if recalling something, "I'm not really sure either, but keeping moving forward should be the right thing to do."
The group could only move forward in silence. During this time, An seemed to be constantly overwhelmed by the "tidal wave of memories and emotions" she had mentioned, and would occasionally rub her head with her tiny wings.
Until a small fountain appeared in front of everyone.
Xu Ning took a few steps forward, but unexpectedly, a thin layer of water enveloped the fountain, making it impossible for anyone to get any closer.
This was the first time Kong had seen Xu Ning so actively leading the way in this space.
Is it because there's something special here that Brother Xu wants to get?
Kong's gaze lingered around the fountain, and then, at the edge of the fountain, he saw an extremely simple, even somewhat dirty, wooden sword.
