"Sing to Kapachili. Where is she!" Aru pointed to the floating island in the sky and said to Ying.
"Thunder and Lightning Resentment..., Heguan..." After listening to Aru's words, and thinking about what happened in Heguan before, Ying had another rough guess in his mind.
Looking back at the distance, at the end of the sea level, a black shadow shrouded in fog loomed.
That is Heguan, located at the very edge of Inazuma and the rarest place in Inazuma’s records.
Thinking of Thunderbird's unprovoked rage before, Shadow shook his head. Who would have thought that such a desolate and remote place could contain such sincere feelings?
"Can you hear it if you sing to it here?" Yi Yan looked at the huge whirlpool in the sky. This was the vision caused by the resentment after the death of the thunderbird.
"It doesn't matter. Watching Capaccili sing from a distance is already pretty good." Aru scratched his head contentedly and said with a smile.
In fact, when Tsurukan still existed, Aru sang to Kapachili from a distance like this, but now the distance is just farther.
"How about that? I'll send you up!" Yu Jin said and wanted to send Aru up, but he picked up the young master and the skirmishers in his hands.
"What do you want to do?" The young master struggled several times in Yu En's hands. After finding that it was as useless as before, he autistically gave up the struggle.
"Let you two go explore the road!" Yi Yan said, waving his hands and throwing the young master and the skirmishers to the floating island high in the sky.
"Hold me tight." Yi Jin grabbed Aru's hand. He was about to jump up, but took a few steps back and came to Ying's side.
"You don't need me to 'send' you, right?"
Shadow glanced at Ember, did not answer him, and turned into a bolt of lightning that shuttled through the air.
"Awesome!" Yi Yan gave a thumbs up, and then gave instructions to Aru beside him.
"Hurry up - take off!"
"what--"
After a moment, Ember flew to the floating island in mid-air with Aru, who was screaming.
The closer you get to the floating island, the more gravel you see suspended in your field of vision. It's like this island was blasted up by someone.
It was dark near the floating island, and thick dark clouds blocked the light. The only light source here is the constant thunder in the center of the floating island.
However, there are now two more jumping figures in the lightning.
"Where did this thing come from?!"
"I told you not to hold back. As soon as you came up, you ran around and lured this thing out!"
The young master and the skirmishers blamed each other while dodging Lei Yinquan's attack.
"Is this the remaining resentment of the Thunderbird? It is indeed very strong." Yi Yan glanced at the strange thing below that was chasing the young master's skirmishers, and sighed with emotion.
It is indeed an existence that can turn an island into a deserted land, even if it is just the resentment left behind, it is so powerful.
Ember fell to the ground with Aru, and Lei Yinquan suddenly noticed the two new arrivals.
Like a simple conditioned reflex, it immediately gave up the young master and the skirmishers and came to hunt down the newly arrived Ember and Aru.
But just when its steel-like wings were about to fly across Aru's body, it suddenly stopped.
"Ah~~, la..."
The ethereal and innocent voices of children broke through the roar of thunderstorms and echoed across the island. The song Aru always wanted to sing to Thunderbird was just a repetitive ditty.
But just such a sound made Lei Yinquan stop his movements.
"The power of promise..."
"It can also be said to be the power of wishes." Yu Jin glanced at the shadow who was walking over and said secretly.
"Okay, I know I was wrong, can you please stop arranging me?" Ying looked at Yu Ember speechlessly.
Before coming to Qing Lai Island, Yi Yan took Ying to visit both Kannauzhong and Baolu Island.
What you hear is not as good as what you see. Knowing something is one thing, but seeing it with your own eyes is another.
The more he saw, the more Ying's heart became shaken. Maybe, I was indeed wrong at the beginning.
Ordinary Aru's voice would never be so loud, and the reason for everything now is naturally that Aru used her own little strength.
The singing was gradually covered by the thunderstorm again. Aru's figure has become illusory and blurry.
After the song ended, a piece of purple feather slowly fell from Lei Yinquan's body to Aru's hand.
"Brothers, this is the last feather. If you offer it to the perch, Heguan will return to normal."
Aru looked at the feather in her hand with a somewhat complicated expression. For thousands of years he has wanted to complete the festival and end the reincarnation of Tsurukwan.
But who would have thought that one of the feathers enshrined in the perch would be taken away by Capaccili?
With a slight lift of his arm, purple feathers floated in front of several people. The expression on Aru's face was no longer complicated, he became very pure.
Pure joy, pure relief.
"Goodbye, big brothers...and this big sister."
"I'm going to take the boat."
"The shining silver ship heading to the moon, I'm going home, the big golden house on the moon..."
Humming an unknown song, Aru waved to several people with a smile on her face, and then disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Huh..., that boy... really likes to sing." The young master shook his head with emotion.
Aru really likes to sing. Even before he completely dissipated, he still sang a ballad to them, although the young master didn't understand what he sang.
"Go home, the moon, the golden house..." The skirmisher chanted Aru's last lyrics, and suddenly looked up at the sky as if he remembered something.
Unfortunately, the thick thunderstorm obscured his vision, making it impossible for him to see anything clearly.
"Hey..., did you hear it? That boy seems to be telling us something." Ying watched Aru leave. She thought about Aru's last lyrics, a little bit in hindsight.
"Ah? I heard it. Isn't it just a matter of flying to the moon in a boat?"
"Hiss..., this is wrong. People in Teyvat should return to the earth's veins after death. Why are they on the moon again?"
When Ying heard this, he took a deep look at Ember. She couldn't figure out whether Yan Yan really didn't know or was pretending to be dumbfounded.
"Hiss..., it's still wrong, a silver boat? I seem to have packed up the boatman and took him away. Aru can't get on the boat!"
Yi Yan clapped his hands and suddenly realized a big problem - that is, the boatman of the "silver ship" that Aru mentioned had been thrown into his body a long time ago.
That's good, the ship has no crew. Now Yan Yan only hopes that Aru can row a boat and can row to the moon by herself.
……
On the other side, in a world invisible to ordinary people. Aru opened her eyes in confusion.
"Is this the world after death?" Aru looked around. There were only large blurred spots in his field of vision, which made him unable to see anything clearly.
Aru was a little panicked. According to the legend of Hekan, after death, people will be taken to the golden land by a silver boat.
Is the golden land just such a chaos?
Just when Aru was panicking, a suction suddenly came from a distance, and Aru's body moved quickly with the suction.
Part of the light spot became clear, and Aru's eyes widened, because those clear parts gradually outlined a figure, which was the figure of Ember.
Before he could say anything, Aru was sucked into Ember's body by the suction force.
At the end, he vaguely heard this sentence.
"Isn't it? I'm in a boat?!!"
Chapter 542 Another group of working dragons

While Yu Yan and others were busy dealing with the aftermath, the underground area some unknown distance away from them gradually became lively.
Among the ruins of Yuanxia Palace, a running figure rarely appeared.
"Handler, look at the situation nearby!"
"Sir, everything is normal!"
After a brief outing to explore, the debt handler came back with long-lost good news.
The lieutenant of the Fools' Squadron breathed a deep sigh of relief when he heard this. He raised his head and looked at the lightless sky. Before, he would never have believed that there would be such a vast space under Inazuma's house.
Maybe this isn't underground? The lieutenant thought about the disintegrated earth in Yuanxia Palace and the endless abyss under the earth, and speculated in his mind.
"Rest where you are! Pay attention to those monsters!" Seeing that there was no movement nearby, the lieutenant waved his hand and told the team members to rest where they were.
In Yuanxia Palace, they saw things that could not be seen on the ground. It was a beast like a giant lizard.
Because it is a wild beast, the Fools did not take it seriously at first. It's just a beast, nothing to the fools.
But they soon paid a heavy price for this. Of course, beasts are nothing to fear, but what if these "beasts" have extraordinary intelligence and elemental adaptability that are far beyond the reach of humans?
This team of Fools answered this question. They were all in disgrace at this moment, and the fear on their faces was clearly visible even through their masks.
If it weren't for the Fools' advance team's emphasis on teamwork, and the presence of several elites with evil eyes in this team, they might have been killed in the first ambush.
After breathing for a while from the ground, the lieutenant stood up and looked at the wreckage where they were.
Here is a group of collapsed buildings, with messy gravel and irregular stones scattered on the ground. Many of the patterns on them have been blurred by time, and they look really old.
Picking up a piece of rubble at random, the lieutenant was a little surprised to find a rotten wooden cabinet buried under the rubble.
Under the dilapidated wooden cabinet, a few pieces of yellowed paper were scattered messily on the ground.
"Cheer up, everyone, there's work to do!" The lieutenant couldn't help but cheer up after seeing it. Having paper means having records, which might deepen their understanding of this strange land.
As soon as the lieutenant spoke, the fools who were resting immediately became busy. The stronger ones were responsible for clearing the gravel, while the civilian staff were responsible for interpreting the information on the paper. The cooperation was extremely tacit.
Soon, they had some results.
"The beasts we met here... are called [dragon lizards] by the people here."
"Dragon lizard?" The lieutenant nodded after hearing this. The name dragon lizard is indeed suitable for those beasts.
They look a bit like lizards, and also look like legendary "dragons". They are called dragon lizards, which is very appropriate.
"Moreover, judging from these studies, from the fourth generation onwards, their intelligence is generally not lower than the level of human beings when they are twelve years old." The fools responsible for the interpretation were a little surprised. This level of intelligence is already quite high. Remarkable.
"After four generations? What about now?" The lieutenant noticed the important point. The intelligence after four generations is so amazing. What about other generations?
"I don't know about this. The people here seem to have left here in the end. The final step of the experiment can't be seen from these data."
