Chapter 571: Sword Immortal Enters the Abyss
——Teyvat
Liyue, Guiliji, Fengdeng Tower.
The existence of the regression effect will bring the world line, which should have been deviated due to the butterfly effect, back on track.
Jun Bai was killed instead of Gui Zhong because of this reason.
It is also because of the regression effect that when the abyss invaded five hundred years ago, some people were still trapped under the huge rock abyss.
However, due to the changes in the world line, it was not Fushe that was suppressed under the abyss this time.
And the person who replaced Fushe was sealed off.
It was the eldest brother among the three sworn brothers in Young Ce Village—Li Tonghui, well, but now he should probably be called Xiao.
"Big brother..."
Xiaojun Bai's thoughts were churning in his mind.
That year, the eldest brother said goodbye to Jun Bai and left Liyue with Xiao Yan, traveling in Teyvat during the Demon War.
He said that he would take Jun Moli with him to see all of Teyvat.
Xiao Junbai once thought that was the last time they would see each other.
The lifespan of a demon god is nearly endless, and only wear and tear can have an impact on it, but mortals will turn to dust in just a hundred years or so.
Just like my eldest brother said when he said goodbye:
"However, considering your race, it may be difficult for us to meet again in the future."
After that, Jun Bai never saw his elder brother again.
Considering the lifespan of a mortal being, if it were normal circumstances, he would have died of old age.
As for the magic that was originally given to my eldest brother.
Jun Bai just did it with the attitude of giving it a try.
Even if there was only a one in a million chance, Jun Bai didn't want to do nothing and just watch his family die.
When he left home, Jun Bai actually left the book of immortality to his mother, but she did not accept it.
It has never happened before for a mortal to become an immortal.
The eldest brother expressed his lofty ambition and said that he wanted to be the first.
But he never saw his elder brother in Liyue, so Jun Bai thought he had passed away. Even Xiao Yan was missing.
Until the Kanrea War.
Jun Bai accepted Lei Dianzhen's instructions in Kanriya, went to Inazuma for support, and then returned to Liyue from Inazuma.
When Jun Bai arrived at the main battlefield of the Layered Rock Abyss, he heard a familiar tiger roar and that:
"I'm going to go berserk! Try to stop me!"
Only then did Jun Bai realize that his elder brother had truly accomplished that unprecedented feat, ascending to the status of an immortal as a mortal.
But when Junbai returned, the war was already over.
Countless Qianyan soldiers died in the war with the Abyss, and the life and death of Lei Jian, the leader of the first generation of Tianfeng Lunyu, is unknown, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
That catchphrase was the signal to end that war.
Jun Bai, who was only one step away, could only watch his elder brother's figure plunge into the mysterious space that led to an unknown place.
Along with the monsters from the abyss.
That was the last time Jun Bai saw his elder brother and Xiao Yan.
Just one step away, but it led to an unexpected ending.
"If the original plot develops as it did, the ending for Big Brother and Xiao Yan would probably be..." Xiao Junbai recalled the original plot of Fushe.
"No, no, my brother is still alive."
Xiao Junbai said in his heart.
Although the return effect of the original plot is involved, and according to the actual situation, the possibility that the eldest brother is still alive is very small.
But Xiaojun Bai had a premonition that his elder brother was still alive.
Jun Bai had this premonition before he last saw his elder brother, but Jun Bai chose not to believe it.
Thinking about it now, if I had believed in that premonition at that time, would everything that happened later not have happened?
Now that this premonition is still there, Xiao Junbai will not give up.
As for where this premonition came from.
Xiao Junbai thought it might be because of the oath they made when they became sworn brothers.
"If you betray your loyalty and forget your gratitude, you will be killed by both heaven and man."
"This sky, is it talking about you?" Xiao Junbai said as he looked at the blue sky outside the window.
Xiao Junbai once thought that the Emperor was in charge of this oath.
When I first received Jun Bai's oath, I was probably busy so I couldn't make it.
But when the matter was mentioned later, it was discovered that the Emperor was unaware of the oath the three brothers made when they became sworn brothers.
Either the oath has been lifted, or this contract is not managed by the God of Contract.
The oath was lifted, and the mysterious premonition in my heart had denied this statement. There could only be another possibility.
"So the oath we made back then was governed by the will of the world?"
Xiao Junbai couldn't help but sigh at how powerful the Natural Demon God was.
All oaths are personally executed and supervised by the world will.
"Brother, Xiaoyan, wait a little longer, we will be able to rescue you soon..."
"Oh, and there's also the Thunder Sword, whose existence I don't know if it's still alive."
"I swear in the name of Phemix, the Nirvana Demon God, I will definitely, definitely, definitely save you!"
Xiaojun Bai silently strengthened his faith.
Boom, boom, boom...
Suddenly, someone knocked violently on Xiao Junbai's door.
"Who?" Xiao Junbai asked, then ran over to open the door.
Those who can go directly to the third floor without being stopped by Chen Yuan are generally people who have a close relationship with Xiao Junbai.
And at this time, the only person who appeared here could be...
"Third brother, it's me!"
As expected, it was Jun Moli.
Xiao Junbai opened the door of the room and Jun Moli walked in quickly.
Before he sat down, Jun Moli asked:
"I received news that the Lacuna has reopened."
"Third brother, is the Layered Rock Abyss the battlefield where Big Brother and Xiao Yan disappeared?"
Where does this news come from?
Oh, Yuan Xi is from the Qianyan Army.
Jun Bai thought about it and nodded to confirm that Jun Moli's information was true.
Jun Moli crossed his hands in front of his chest and tapped the back of his hand unconsciously with his index finger, revealing his second brother's inner unrest.
After a long while, Jun Moli asked, "Where is it? I'll go find it."
"Brother, calm down."
"I'm calm now."
He was indeed very calm. If he was not calm, he would not have come to ask for the location, but would have rushed directly into the abyss.
"Okay, now I'm sure you're calm."
Xiao Junbai nodded and said, "Second brother, I'll tell you the truth, the battlefield back then was indeed in the Layered Rock Abyss."
"But I don't know where Big Brother is."
"The last thing I saw was Big Brother and Xiao Yan, carrying a monster, falling towards the underground level of the Layered Rock Abyss."
"Finally I felt the space fluctuate."
"They should have fallen into a secret space."
"If we want to find the trace of Big Brother, we must first find the specific coordinates of that secret space, so that we can go and rescue him."
Jun Moli took a deep breath, his eyes seemed to be filled with raging storms.
But in the end, Jun Moli closed his eyes, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go down first and explore the way for you."
Xiao Junbai advised: "Second brother, don't worry."
"Although you are an expert swordsman, you have no experience in underground exploration. If you go down there casually, something bad will happen."
"I will go find the Liyue Seven Stars and Xuanjian later and ask them to help provide an expedition team."
"When the time comes, you will go down with the expedition team."
——Digression
Note 1
This section is in the middle of Chapter 138. Friends who are interested can go and do archaeological research on their own.
Note 2
This is something I forgot to add.
Regarding the fact that my second brother needs an expedition team to go underground, I can only say...
Professional adventurers like travelers need to be accompanied by someone.
