Chapter 336: The Irminsul and the present and future of Teyvat, memory backup

For humans.

Those Archons are indeed gods.

As for the Seven Archons selected later, they are the orthodoxy recognized by the ruler of Celestia.

Who told them that there is a ruler here.

If there wasn't, then it would still be the era of gods.

In the end, this is just a title.

So some people will also think that a god is just a creature with powerful strength.

Yes.

That’s right.

Isn't the Thunderbird considered a god by the ancient people of the Tsurumi civilization because of its powerful strength?

And now.

Here with Ye Ruo, it is just a bird.

During this time.

The Thunderbird Kapatcir will act as Ye Ruo’s Shikigami and always be active by his side.

Ye Ruo will teach it some concepts of normal creatures.

After all, the Thunderbird used to be a lonely bird, flying around, occasionally stopping on trees or in mountains.

It was completely a wild elemental creature.

Plus its master had long since died, isn't it just a wild high-level monster on the Inazuma map?

So now is the taming process.

When it’s about time, throw it to the Tenshukaku.

Let it be the Raiden Shogun’s familiar.

Anyway, Shikigami and familiar don't conflict at all.

And now.

Ye Ruo is testing the Thunderbird Kapatcir’s abilities.

The cycle on Tsurumi Island has long since ended, and the ley lines have returned to calm.

The Thunderbird itself has a way of using the ley lines.

It can influence the ley line cycle for thousands of years, making those images repeat the events of that year.

It has the characteristics of an elemental creature.

Just like how Azhdaha can also use the power of the ley lines to fight.

And the Thunderbird can call the wind and rain, trigger thunderstorms, and fly high in the sky carrying purple electricity and heavy rain; these are all basic abilities.

The feather can summon souls.

Or maintain the existence of souls.

Most living things have a soul after death, and then they will merge into the ley lines.

So there is a saying that memories remaining in the earth appear again.

It’s just that they will disappear not long after.

That is the memory of the deceased during a certain period.

And as for souls, there are also some in Liyue.

That is the mysterious place "Boundary" that keeps going forward at Wuwang Hill.

It is a place managed by the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor era.

If you go there, you can see the souls of deceased relatives and the dead whose wishes have not been fulfilled.

Those souls will stay in that place.

And then they will gradually disappear into the depths of the boundary, merging into the earth.

But the Thunderbird’s feather can maintain the soul, not letting it disappear, and even using the power of the ley lines, it can still exist after thousands of years.

Truly a bird suitable for managing souls.

And then.

The authority of life can resurrect the soul, as long as the lifespan is not broken.

It can reshape the body and resurrect back to the world of the living.

Continuing the life from before.

Just like Ei back then.

Or Makoto now.

So Ye Ruo discovered that this Thunderbird’s ability is matched with the Archon of Life.

It’s no wonder it was originally a creature raised by that Archon of Life.

Being favored by the upper Archon of Celestia shows that this bird’s ability has uniqueness and special features.

Besides the thunderstorm ability, it also has abilities involving souls.

After all, using the authority of life to call back consciousness or souls also requires a lot of divine power.

If the Thunderbird can complete this process, it can save a lot of effort.

So Ye Ruo let this bird extract the soul consciousness from the ley lines; after all, the ley lines are the roots of the Irminsul spreading across the world, and after the living things on the continent die, they become the tree’s nutrients.

They will be absorbed.

The memories of living things exist in the ley lines.

In other words, the Irminsul records the past and present of Teyvat.

Once it is destroyed, Teyvat is gone.

Unless there are outlanders who remember these, equivalent to a backup, and perhaps they can restore those scenes on the new world after the old world is destroyed.

Making everything now return again.

In Ye Ruo’s words,

Start a second playthrough.

But these are too far from Ye Ruo, they are Lumine’s business.

So ordinary living things will merge into the earth after death, and powerful consciousness can span across long time and remain without dissipating.

The authority of life can call back these consciousnesses and resurrect them.

Play a resurrection match.

And if the Thunderbird can have the effect of calling back consciousness, preserving and maintaining the soul, it is equivalent to a little helper for the holder of the authority of life.

It can save a lot of power.

However, when Ye Ruo asked the Thunderbird about this ability, it was completely clueless.

Making black lines appear on his forehead.

Useless bird!

I think you have been eroded too severely and have forgotten all your abilities!

Forget it, let's stew it and eat it.

As a result, this scared the Thunderbird so much that its fur exploded, and it hurriedly indicated that even if it had forgotten, the ability was still there.

Try it a few more times and you will know.

It even took the initiative to pull out a few feathers for Ye Ruo to experiment.

Indicating that it is indeed useful.

Don't eat it!

Who would have thought that the mighty and arrogant thunder bird of the past would become an obedient little bird here with Ye Ruo.

In the process, Ye Ruo discovered that the Thunderbird Kapatcir’s other ability is quite suitable for building floating islands.

Just like Amakumo Peak here before.

Because of the Thunderbird’s ability, they are all flying in the air.

As a flying elemental creature, it has a flight authority, not to accelerate itself.

But to act on other items.

Letting them float up all the time.

So these gravels and that piece of land at Amakumo Peak have been floating in the sky, for at least hundreds of years.

This ability doesn't help much in fighting.

Instead, it is suitable for assistance.

Just like the God of Salt, the items created by her authority can continuously produce salt.

This is the power of authority.

In some aspects, the Archons’ authorities are actually quite powerful.

Even if they can't provide much help in battle, making them look like chicken ribs.

Although in reality, it is indeed the case.

The strength of authority and combat power can ensure one’s survival.

That is the battlefield.

But if you switch to life and construction, it is very interesting.

Even some auxiliary authorities can bring earth-shaking changes to people’s lives.

This is—the authority of gods.

So the Thunderbird’s ability can also be used to mass-produce floating islands.

Convenient for the sky city plans of Liyue and Mondstadt in the future.

As for Inazuma, it is enough to develop those islands one after another, not to mention that the Tenshukaku, as the highest building, already represents supreme majesty.

So let’s not make anything higher than it.

It would be nice to make some sea islands in the ocean later.
