Chapter 608: Metamorphosis
Zhongli and Ruota Dragon King sat at a table and had a friendly conversation, while Jun Bai explained the ins and outs of the matter to everyone.
Paimeng listened to Jun Bai's introduction with his eyes wide open:
"So, Long Ruo is not the demon god, but the Ruota Dragon King who fought with you all in the past?"
Jun Bai nodded:
"Yes, the Dragon King of the Rock Element. The creatures created by elemental crystals carry the power and memories of the earth, and live as long as the mountains and seas."
"The common ally of me, Zhongli, and Guizhong, the Dragon King Ruotu."
[I feel like Zhongli and Ruotu Dragon King can be matched. 】
[In the previous set of shots, Zhongli and Ruota Dragon King almost came to blows. It's hard to imagine that they have this kind of relationship. ]
[My only feeling is that Liyue was really rich during the Demon God War. According to the description, Ruotu was as powerful as the Emperor, so this place is equivalent to three rulers! ]
[Enemy during the Demon War: What kind of hellish picture is this? Don't come over here! ]
Flames rose from Jun Bai's hands: "But even if his life span is infinite, he will be "worn out" by the rules."
"As time goes by, Ruota will gradually lose the ability to get along with others due to "wear and tear"... and even lose his rationality."
"And then I lost all my memories."
Ying suddenly realized: "That's why He lost his memory."
"But I really didn't expect that... if the dragon was the Ruota Dragon King..."
Ying always thought that Long Ruo was a demon god until he was about to attack Jun Moli, then he realized something was wrong.
If the Demon God’s lover is really a Demon God, he will never show any hostility, just like the Fatui who spoke nonsense to Zhongli back then.
Breach of contract comes first, followed by rude remarks.
As a result, Zhongli simply taught the Fatui a lesson and let him leave the Salt of the Earth safely.
This is enough to show the strength of the devil's lover's nature.
However, when Long Ruo recovered some of his memory, he clearly wanted to kill Jun Moli.
If we hadn't spent some time together before.
Long Ruo might really take action, which means that he does not have the same nature as Zhongli and Gui Zhong.
"But He has recovered His memory now."
Ying suddenly frowned, then looked at the flame rising in Jun Bai's hand: "It has something to do with you, right?"
Jun Bai nodded and said:
"Wear and tear is a rule that cannot be violated."
"Only a natural demon like me can avoid it."
"So if I don't do anything, there will only be me, the Demon God, in Liyue in the future. This is something I don't want to see."
Even demons cannot avoid wear and tear.
Only the natural demon is unaffected.
Therefore, sooner or later, everyone in Liyue will leave Jun Bai. This is the inevitable trend.
"I don't want to see that happen."
Jun Bai clenched his hands, and flames flew everywhere: "So, based on my own abilities, I developed a technique called "Metamorphosis." "
"Use my power to put those who are suffering from wear and tear into a deep sleep, and use the power of life to remove the effects of wear and tear."
“It’s like being reborn.”
"Rota slept for a hundred years, and the "Metamorphosis" successfully removed the wear and tear on his body, but it seems that because the technique was incomplete, his memories were also removed."
"This is what happened."
After that, Jun Bai asked:
"Speaking of which, how was your trip to the Layered Abyss?"
Ying could see that Jun Bai's fingers subconsciously clenched the edge of the table.
Obviously, Jun Bai was very nervous about the answer to this question, so nervous that he couldn't keep a calm mind.
Ying looked hesitant, not knowing how to express the result.
When he saw Ying's expression, there was no change on Jun Bai's face, but he was very flustered inside.
Did something really happen?
After all... the result of the original plot is...
While Ying was still hesitating, Jun Mo said, "Dragon... King Ruotu has found the original battlefield."
"That is a space further down in the Layered Abyss."
"We have now brought that space back to light, but according to the analysis of the Ruotu Dragon King, we cannot enter it yet."
Jun Moli told Jun Bai the specific reasons.
Jun Bai's expression eased slightly, and he nodded and said, "Ruo Tuo's analysis is correct. We really can't rush in now."
"Entering an unstable space node..."
"What Ruo Tuo analyzed, that he was teleported everywhere, is only the best possible outcome. It is a low-probability event."
"The greater possibility is that it was directly torn apart by the chaotic space."
【Thank you Ruotu for saving my second brother. 】
[Planner, remember this: Ruo Tuo Dragon King saved not your second brother, but your parents. Remember this! ]
[The consequences are really serious. I can’t imagine what would happen if my second brother really rushed into it without Ruo Tuo by his side…]
[The second brother is Xiaobai's only relative now. If the planner really dares to do that, I think he might be targeted by Boss Jun.]
Seeing Jun Bai's still stable expression, Ying asked cautiously: "Jun Bai, are you okay?"
Jun Bai was about to answer.
Jun Moli on the side continued:
"Third brother and I are different. I have only known the news for a year, so I am naturally particularly concerned about the condition of my eldest brother."
"But... Third Brother has known this news for at least five hundred years. He has already anticipated whatever the outcome might be."
"So, for the third brother now, the news from the eldest brother is the best news."
Jun Bai nodded: "That's right."
"Having news means there is still hope. If there is really no news at all, that would be the most despairing thing."
Then Jun Bai looked at Jun Moli, who had a calm expression, and asked:
"Speaking of which, compared to me, second brother, you..."
"I'm fine." Jun Moli interrupted.
Then he nodded: "Yes, I'm fine."
Jun Bai looked at Jun Moli: "I hope it is true."
"You have been able to endure all these things by yourself for 500 years, so I can do it too." Jun Moli said.
He looked at Jun Bai and said, "Third brother, if there is any news, you must inform me immediately. I must go to that place."
Jun Bai knew that the news that Jun Moli mentioned was the first-hand information about the stability of the space beneath the Layered Rock Abyss.
So Jun Bai nodded slowly to his brother:
"I will."
"please."
After saying that, Jun Moli stood up and left with the Chengxiao Sword.
“Mo Li… is he really alright in that state?” Paimeng asked worriedly, “Do we really not need to go check him out?”
Ying was silent.
In fact, she could empathize with him.
If there was any news that she was not available when she first arrived in Teyvat, her first reaction upon learning of the situation would be to go and verify it.
If she couldn't go, she would probably be like Jun Moli.
Having your hope extinguished by others the moment you have it is not the most despairing thing. The only thing you can do is to watch it die without being able to get close to it.
This is the most desperate thing.
"It's better to let the second brother calm down." Jun Bai said.
Then he sighed, "Jun Li, I hope you can make Second Brother feel better. If he continues like this, something bad will happen to him."
