Chapter 570: The Reopening of the Rocky Abyss
Recalling his first encounter with the immortals, Xiaojun Bai recounted the past events one by one:
"Molax is willing to treat me to a meal, give me Mora, and let me go to the street to buy what I like."
"Gui will eventually make toys to amuse me, even though accepting her toys means being held in her arms and ravaged by her."
"Liuyun Jiefeng is very afraid of me, but he is willing to teach me mechanical arts."
"Although Ganyu was almost eaten by me, she didn't stay away from me. Instead, she was willing to live with me."
"The original shopkeeper of Fengdeng Tower is willing to treat me to a drink."
"..."
Every time someone was mentioned, Xiao Junbai would raise a finger.
Not only are the faces in my memory deeply engraved, but each scene is so vivid that I cannot count them with ten fingers.
So Xiao Junbai gave up counting and told the confused Tian Gong everything he still remembered.
"...Everyone is very nice to me, I am very happy, and I like everyone, so..."
Xiaojun Bai smiled and said, "I don't want to see you all sad."
"Sad tears are annoying."
"I don't know if these words hurt you a little bit... Are you asking this because you haven't met someone who treats you well?"
"..."
Tian Gong nodded.
As a natural demon who is only one step away from being catalyzed, Tiangong Airen's nature is close to nothing.
Therefore, He does not approach humans on His own initiative, nor does He allow humans to approach Him.
But they will still take the initiative to pay attention to humans.
He has been staying in the lake of the Rainbow Mirage since his birth, wondering why he is interested in those weak beings.
His nature of love, which is close to nothingness, only makes Him slightly concerned about the existence of humans, but He does not want to get involved.
No desire to have contact with humans.
Therefore, he will not encounter anyone who is willing to be good to Him.
All natural demons are a blank slate, and what they will become depends entirely on how they are treated.
Fimix met Ganyu, Morax, Guizhong, and the people of Guiliji, so he was willing to sacrifice his life for these people.
Met Bai Zhirou and Jun Moli, so there was the human Jun Bai.
Grotius was born mortal and therefore cannot die, but He has witnessed death since His birth.
Therefore, they develop a strong curiosity about death.
But only Sky Bow was catalyzed by the fragments in its final mature stage. It was clearly a blank sheet of paper, but it had an unmatched thickness.
So He would think and be confused.
Then the more I think about it, the more confused I become. The more confused I become, the less I interact with others. The less I interact with others, the less I interact with others...
The more He grows.
Tian Gong seems to be more mature than Xiao Jun Bai, but in fact he is an adult who has been matured prematurely.
If he had met someone who was willing to treat him well before he became confused, then perhaps he could be like Jun Bai and Marcosius.
But unfortunately, there is no if in everything.
Tian Gong finally chose to give up, not because he wanted to protect humanity or for any other reason, he just didn't want to continue being confused like this.
Thus, Sky Bow became the subordinate consciousness of Teyvat, overlooking everything in Teyvat from a God's perspective.
Observing all things in the world, Tian Gong gradually understood everything.
But there is only one thing that is puzzling: why, as a natural demon god, Phemix wants to protect those humans?
Demons love humans by nature, and humans watch over each other.
But why did Phemix, who had nothing to do with anything, get involved in it, even sacrifice his life and enter Nirvana several times?
As a fellow human being, Tian Gong wanted to know.
As for this question, Xiaojun Bai gave the following answer:
Those people took the initiative to extend their hands to him, and all he did was to extend his hand in return and shake hands.
And in the end he asked Tian Gong:
Haven't you met someone who reached out to you?
"…I haven't met anyone who is kind to me, or a demon."
"I haven't met anyone who treated me badly, or a demon."
"I thought about it for a long time. I didn't want to love anyone or do anything. I just kept thinking."
Tian Gong looked at the lake in the distance:
"But just thinking about it won't give you any answers."
Xiao Junbai looked at Him and said:
"So you choose to seek death, because there is no answer."
"It's stupid, but unexpectedly suits us natural demons."
Tian Gong nodded: "Thank you for your answer."
"The management of Rainbow Mirage for the time being is now handed over to you. But I have a request:"
“Don’t be the first person He meets.”
Xiao Junbai began to clean up the food boxes that the two had eaten up: "It's too late. I'm already."
It has been like this since I entered the Rainbow Mirage.
Tian Gong laughed: "Maybe this is fate."
"Bye, I'll come visit you often when I have time."
Xiao Junbai carried the food box, spread his flaming wings and soared into the sky.
——Teyvat
Liyue, Guiliji, Fengdeng Tower.
After returning from visiting relatives, Xiao Junbai returned to his previous happy life and would hang out with his family and friends whenever he had free time.
Except for a few special individuals, everyone is very welcome to Xiao Junbai.
Also because Xiao Junbai often goes to visit relatives and friends, under normal circumstances, no one will take the initiative to look for Xiao Junbai.
Therefore, Xiao Junbai’s chuunibyou has never been exposed.
Of course it's okay even if it's exposed.
It’s normal for children to be a little immature, and the adults in Liyue are very tolerant of this, especially the most favored one.
The days passed peacefully.
Until one day, a piece of news reached Xiao Junbai's ears.
"Is the Lacuna about to reopen?"
Xiao Junbai jumped up from the bed, then immediately opened the system panel to check the time.
In the real world, version 2.5 is coming to an end.
Version 2.6 is coming soon.
"Version 2.6, followed by version 2.7, which is..."
"The Demon God's Quest in the Rocky Abyss!"
There was a gleam of brilliance in Xiaojun Bai's eyes.
This means that the mysterious space will soon reappear in the world, which is good news.
The appearance of Junbai caused a butterfly effect in the plot of Teyvat, and most of the people who originally did not survive are now fine.
But some things that are going to happen will still happen.
For example, the Demon War and the destruction of Kanrea.
This is the regression effect as opposed to the butterfly effect.
The butterfly effect refers to a small action that produces a chain reaction and ultimately leads to significant consequences.
The regression effect means that any change to an event will eventually lead to the same result.
For example, the ambush of the Dream Demon will kill a demon. Originally, this demon was doomed to die, but Jun Bai created a butterfly effect.
The Dream Demon and Return are staggered.
However, the return effect took effect, allowing Jun Bai to replace Gui Zhong and become the demon killed by the Dream Demon.
——Digression
This chapter didn't feel very well written.
I feel like I didn’t write a lot of things clearly, but that’s it, after all, it’s the next day.
In this book, I don’t think I have explained the affairs of the Dragon King Ruota yet…
