Chapter 18

Would he dare to mention revenge?

That is Great Luo!

How could he have the audacity to hold a grudge against them?

Jiang Yan shook his head helplessly.

"Revenge... I have never thought about it, I dare not think about it, and I cannot think about it."

"Shushan was indeed destroyed by the hands of Great Luo, but how could I dare to speak of revenge against Great Luo?"

"I don't even dare to hold a grudge against Great Luo."

"In the war of the past, countless worlds in the heavens and myriad realms were destroyed. I am just one of the unremarkable victims of this disaster."

"There were other Supreme Unity who survived; do they dare to hold a grudge against Great Luo?"

"Everything Great Luo does is right, and everything Great Luo says is the truth."

"Being destroyed by Great Luo is because we are not strong enough; it is what we deserve. Anything Great Luo does is correct."

"This is the common understanding of everyone in the heavens and myriad realms who knows of Great Luo's existence."

"If one is destroyed by Great Luo, then it must be the fault of the destroyed."

Hearing Jiang Yan say this, Liuyun was suddenly furious.

"How can you say such cowardly words?"

"Since, as you say, you bear the deep blood feud of Shushan's myriad comrades."

"Your ancestor and your master died to send you out, yet you fear Great Luo and speak such weak words!"

"I really misjudged you!"

Perhaps because she was moved, thinking of the countless comrades who fought to the death to protect Liyue during the Archon War.

And the stories of them taking revenge for their comrades.

Liuyun truly found it difficult to accept Jiang Yan's retreatist statement.

Ganyu, on the side, pulled Liuyun in a difficult position, wanting her to stop talking.

"I know that the words I speak sound like the words of a coward and an incompetent person to you."

"But what other choice do I have?"

Jiang Yan asked in return.

"Do you know what Great Luo is?"

"Teyvat belongs to the universe of the Tree and the Sea, but the universe of the Tree and the Sea is only an insignificant middle-thousand world among the heavens and myriad realms."

"Worlds like Teyvat are as countless as the sands of the Ganges in the heavens and myriad realms."

"And Great Luo?"

Jiang Yan's eyes were somewhat dim, and after a moment of silence, he said in a low voice:

"Never mind Great Luo, even a Golden Immortal can create countless small-thousand worlds with a single thought."

"Great Luo is born at the beginning of the Dao and permeates the end of the Dao."

"The heavens and myriad realms are just a tiny game sandbox in their eyes."

"They never care about the heavens and myriad realms; only Great Luo can converse with Great Luo."

"So much time has passed since the war of Great Luo, and I have never seen the reflection of any Great Luo disappear in any myth."

"Do you know what this means?"

"Great Luo is immortal; even an enemy who is also Great Luo cannot kill Great Luo."

"They can reset everything in the heavens and myriad realms with a single thought, depending on their mood."

"Great Luo has no past or future, only the present."

"Once proven, forever proven; all time and space are forever free and at ease."

"How can I take revenge on such an enemy? What if I harbor hatred? Great Luo does not care."

"No matter how much I jump around, I am ultimately just a bug that cannot make it to the stage."

"Great Luo cannot be seen, heard, thought of, or contemplated."

"We cultivators seek the Dao, but in our entire lives, who has truly attained the Dao?"

"And Great Luo?"

"They are born with the Dao!"

"I can only abandon all my past and hope to survive."

"Only if I survive can I reshape Shushan and ensure that Shushan's inheritance is not completely severed."

"I have no choice..."

This was the first time Zhongli and the others had heard Jiang Yan describe Great Luo so precisely, and just hearing it, they felt a despair that could not be defied welling up in their hearts.

As Jiang Yan said, if you encounter such an enemy, you can only say you are unlucky.

Revenge?

To put it bluntly.

If Shushan were tied together, what would they count for in the eyes of Great Luo?

A single spit would drown them all.

Liuyun fell silent, and after a long while, she said with some guilt:

"My apologies, I..."

"It is fine."

Jiang Yan waved his hand and said calmly:

"You do not understand the terror of Great Luo, so it is not surprising how you view me. Only by truly understanding the terror of Great Luo can one understand..."

"That is an existence that no one can defy, even after reading through the heavens and myriad realms for a lifetime."

"They are the absolute Dao."

Liuyun's earth-shattering question had indeed made Jiang Yan think hard about how to respond.

No matter what, it seemed he had managed to deal with it for now.

He was ultimately not very good at fooling people.

Didn't he go a bit too far this time by accident?

In the future, it would be better to make up fewer of these background stories.

Liuyun, on the other hand, opened her mouth, looking at Jiang Yan in front of her, and felt that he was suppressing his grief.

At this moment, Liuyun felt as never before that she really shouldn't have such a mouth.

Zhongli, Xiao, and the others looked at Liuyun with some dissatisfaction.

It is said that one should not comment on what one does not know.

Liuyun had acted on her own initiative to judge based on her own sense of justice.

It truly made Zhongli and the others feel somewhat embarrassed.

"My apologies, Liuyun is outspoken. I will punish myself with a cup on her behalf."

Zhongli lifted his teacup gently and took a sip.

Jiang Yan shook his head slightly.

"There is no need for that. Liuyun, after all, does not understand what the existence of Great Luo signifies."

"However, I hope that in the future, everyone will not mention the name of Great Luo again."

"It permeates the heavens, and if it is mentioned, Great Luo will surely sense it."

Zhongli was stunned for a moment, his pupils constricted slightly, and he felt a sense of fear he had never felt before.

"That is to say... we just mentioned them..."

Jiang Yan nodded.

"They know."

"..."

A feeling of horror welled up in everyone's hearts, and for a moment, Zhongli and the others felt the surrounding air freeze.

It was as if a giant hand covering the sky would reach over at any moment and crush Teyvat like an ant.

"Do not worry."

Jiang Yan gave a light laugh, shook his head, and said:

"I have said it before: Great Luo does not care about existences below Great Luo at all, whether they are people or worlds."

"The myths of Great Luo spread throughout the heavens and myriad realms, and people are chanting them at every moment. If they were really going to be serious, the entire heavens and myriad realms would have to be destroyed."
