Chapter 355: Light and Dark, Storm and Calm, Adversity and Peace
What a bizarre scene this is!
In the distance, one could still see that everything was dark, with storms and tsunamis surging constantly, and visibility was extremely low.
It was a complete picture of a severe natural disaster!
It made one's heart run cold.
One would absolutely not want to approach that area.
Yet now, the sea area near Liyue Harbor had become calm and sunny, with bright sunlight.
Darkness on one side, light on the other.
Two phenomena existing simultaneously!
It's too magical!
And this eerie sense of contrast also caught the attention of many people who were fleeing.
Especially those on the harbor side.
They had basically all noticed that stone tablet.
Many of them stopped in their tracks.
One after another, they were left speechless.
"My Geo Archon, look! It was actually that tablet that took effect, making the waves here disappear!"
"This is truly an object of the Adepti!"
"No wonder the Millelith have always been protecting this tablet."
There was also a scholar who had studied obscure languages, looking in alarm at the characters emerging on the tablet.
It seemed that because its power had been triggered.
Above the tablet, there were some characters that ordinary people could not understand.
"It seems this tablet has something written on it; let me see if I can translate it."
The merchant who had invited this scholar to identify the artifact had an expression of disbelief.
"No way, isn't this the script used by the Adepti? You can translate this too?"
"Little brother, your knowledge is truly extraordinary!"
"Perhaps you can seek a good position at Yujing Terrace in the future; maybe my business will rely on you, little brother!"
The scholar said while approaching the tablet.
"It's not that exaggerated, Brother Gu. You overestimate me."
"The so-called script used by the Adepti back then was actually a type used by the people of Liyue themselves. After all, the Adepti hadn't gone into seclusion yet; they were fighting enemies alongside the ancestors."
"It's just that as time passed, older fonts were replaced by simpler and more convenient characters, and thus gradually lost."
"Perhaps, only the Adepti still remember and continue to use them now. That formed the Immortal Script."
Then, the scholar constantly searched his mind for the ancient texts he remembered, matching them one by one with those characters.
To distinguish the specific meaning.
"Let me see, it says here that Liyue Harbor has been constantly affected by sea beasts and giant beasts, stirring up waves, causing disasters, and endangering houses on the ground."
"There is still quite a bit in the middle that I cannot translate. But the last paragraph is clear; the specific meaning is—I, the Azure Dragon True Monarch of Sea Suppression, hereby command the power of the seas and establish this Sea-Suppressing Tablet!"
"To suppress this sea area, so it is no longer troubled by sea beasts and giant beasts. May I protect my Liyue with favorable weather, and may everyone be able to become a dragon."
After reading it paragraph by paragraph, the scholar's eyes turned red.
He seemed to see an Adeptus descending here in person, looking at the environment where giant beasts ran rampant in the sea, and in order to let people live more safely here, he used his immortal power to summon the power of the seas.
Sealing it into this stone tablet.
Then looking at the people of Liyue with gentle eyes.
For the ancestors of that time, this Adeptus held very moving expectations and hopes.
He hoped that the people of Liyue would all become dragons in the future.
Blooming with their own brilliance.
What a loving Immortal Lord.
But if what is recorded in that book is true, then this Adeptus who helped Liyue Harbor.
Later fell into the depths of the ocean.
Just like his origin.
Born of the sea, and scattered in the sea.
In order to deal with that terrifying Demon God of the sea, he ultimately sacrificed himself.
Regarding the existence of this Adeptus, the scholar naturally believes it to be true.
After all, there are still some traces left behind. ### CHAPTER 357
