Chapter 386: Not a World Known to People, Divine Sanction

"Two forces?"

"Clashing?"

This peculiar statement made Lumine very concerned.

After all, she did not know much about The Chasm.

Even though she often heard about it from the people of Liyue, she still hadn't unveiled the mystery surrounding this place.

It seemed different people had different things to say.

There were many conflicting opinions.

And after arriving here, Lumine felt very solemn in her heart.

Because the environment here was too eerie.

Especially the further down one went, the more... well, you know.

Not to mention the gloom, some of the ground was covered in that sticky, black-looking liquid.

Or one could call it something like mud.

When it accumulated, there were also those "Oozing Concretions," leaving the surrounding area covered in this black mud.

It gave one a very bad feeling.

Ghastly, filthy, writhing, grotesque, and pitch-black.

This black-purple substance seemed to infect monsters, turning them extremely violent and cruel.

It made Lumine furrow her brows.

Such disgusting stuff.

And since Ye Ruo was an adeptus of Liyue, he must know a lot about The Chasm, right?

Even Xiao was looking on with curious eyes at this moment.

He knew that Senior Qinglong was quite knowledgeable about The Chasm.

Back then, it was he who had noticed the matter regarding Azhdaha.

Yelan and Yanfei were also listening.

After all, everyone knew that the leader this time was Ye Ruo.

They also understood Ye Ruo's uniqueness.

Regarding this, Ye Ruo snapped his fingers.

Some Lumenstones from afar flew over, then automatically fused with the rocks on the ground, becoming things that looked like torches.

"Take them. This is something created by one of those forces, and it can suppress the black mud."

"As the name implies, the black mud is the second kind."

"Previously, when some miners noticed the black mud starting to spread, these 'Lumenstones' also began to proliferate rapidly."

"Yelan, you should have seen the data analysis and reports from the Lumenspar Processing Station, right? The so-called Lumenstone is actually local rock that has become a new type of crystal after undergoing certain transformations."

"There is a force carrying out this process."

In fact, the abnormal situation here in The Chasm would seem very complex from the outside.

But if analyzed at its essence, it would become clear all at once.

The so-called black mud originates from the ley lines.

It has been emerging constantly.

It's just that there have been signs of it accelerating recently.

And a type of scattered floating crystal fragment is also releasing power to create Lumenstones, countering the black mud.

The origin of everything is these two forces opposing each other, struggling!

Fighting!

That is not a world known to people.

It is a higher-order power.

So regardless of which one it is, be it the crystal fragments or the black mud.

They are very dangerous for ordinary people.

Because they do not have a Vision, nor can they control elemental energy.

Approaching rashly will cause harmful changes to the body, slowly losing perception and becoming irrational.

Even the body will weaken rapidly.

Staying too long will cost one their life.

Neither force is something ordinary people can face.

This made Yanfei immediately look at everyone.

"That's right! Almost all of us who came here have Visions."

"Hmm, as for Lumine, although she doesn't have a Vision herself, she can manipulate elemental energy, so she is not an ordinary person either."

"Is that why we didn't have that feeling or suffer from the mutations?"

Yelan also gave Ye Ruo a deep look.

"That kind of crystal fragment, it seems Dragonspine also has them. Are they the same thing?"

"Some adventurers discovered an unnamed ancient civilization in the snow mountains, along with ancient tombs."

Hearing this, Lumine was also startled.

"Oh right, the snow mountain also has similar things. These fragments seem to have a characteristic of returning and adhering."

"They will be attracted by a larger fragment, eventually becoming a complete pillar."

"A pillar, a pillar?! I get it, so this is the kind of pillar you were talking about, Ye Ruo? Doesn't that mean there is an identical one there too?"

"What exactly is this kind of pillar?"

This also made Ye Ruo a bit surprised.

"Oh? Lumine, have you been to the snow mountain?"

"That makes it easier to explain. Simply put, this kind of pillar is something that targets and governs the ley lines. Depending on the specific situation, it has different uses."

"You can think of it as divine sanction."

"Knowing this is enough. After all, those scholars and adventurers who study it for a long time can perceive these things, so it doesn't matter."

"If you want to go deeper, then I can only say those who know, know; if you don't, there's nothing I can do."

"As for the rest, I can only say the water is very deep and involves many things. Not to mention it does us no good, so why bother knowing? There's no need."

"So I don't know either."

Lumine:.......

Yelan:......

Yanfei:......

For a moment, Lumine and Yelan were both speechless.

It clearly felt like Ye Ruo knew.

Yet he said half and left the other half unsaid; it really is enough to infuriate someone.

Lumine felt that if she weren't unable to beat him, she would want to use her sword to force him to speak.

How is this person just like Venti and Zhong Li?

Both are the type who say, 'Ah, I know, but I can't say.'

You have to find the answer yourself.

Truly worthy of being someone who can have such a close relationship with Venti and Zhong Li.

The style is all the same.

Yanfei, however, found it quite fascinating.

Usually, she studies law and other things, so encountering these was quite interesting.

Xiao also spoke in a low voice.

"Believe in Qing... oh, no, believe in Senior Ye Ruo. His words must have deep meaning."
