Chapter 257: The So-Called Khaenri'ah

Mu Yang had not yet met Durin's kin, Elynas, but before transmigrating, he had played through the Elynas storyline. It was likewise a creation of Gold, and it, too, had brought a massive threat to this world.

However, unlike the evil dragon Durin, who harbored immense malice toward this world, Elynas chose to commit suicide after discovering that it had brought disaster and misfortune to the world.

This proved that not all Abyssal monsters desired the destruction of this world.

Of course, for this world, these Abyssal monsters were indeed highly destructive.

This was not a question of who was right or wrong, but a matter of perspective.

Did Elynas deserve to die?

Perhaps it was innocent, but for the continent of Teyvat, it deserved to die.

Likewise, the original power of Lumine and Aether was also a massive threat to this world.

Ultimately, the world of Teyvat itself did not possess particularly formidable strength and its development was somewhat incomplete; otherwise, it would not have required so many constraints.

One could imagine that if a Honkai-like event were to occur in this world, the entire world might be finished.

Mu Yang had considered upgrading this world.

With the promotion and popularization of the Basic Internal Energy and the fact that humans in the chat group had begun to cultivate, the rules of this world were also being altered, all under the guidance of Mu Yang, the new Heavenly Principles.

However, such an upgrade was taking place imperceptibly. Later, as Mu Yang's cultivation base improved, he would also become connected to this world, absorbing the power of the Abyss through Teyvat's world barrier to strengthen the continent.

By then, the entire world would be upgraded, perfected, and strengthened.

But all of this was not yet something the current Mu Yang could accomplish.

Although the current Mu Yang was already the Heavenly Principles, he was merely slightly stronger than the Seven Archons.

Even though Mu Yang was constantly strengthening himself as those "tools" earned points, he felt his strength was still a distance away from Asmoday.

As for Asmoday, her current situation—purifying the Abyssal pollution within her body while preventing Teyvat from being invaded by the Abyss—was already extremely strenuous.

To have Teyvat continuously progress and expand under her stewardship was nearly an impossible task.

"Didn't you go back to Liyue? Why have you returned to Mondstadt?

Could it be that Venti asked you for help?" Paimon flew to Mu Yang's side and asked, full of curiosity.

Mu Yang took out a Sweet Madame he had previously obtained from Angel's Share and gave it to Paimon. After rubbing her chubby, fleshy face, he said, "Hmm!

How did you two end up here?"

Paimon shared a drumstick with Lumine and tore off a wing for herself. Eating as she spoke, she said, "We were entrusted by Venti to come here.

Venti asked us to come to Wolvendom to investigate the Abyss Order, but it's too dangerous here, and there are so many monsters.

Moreover, they all seem to be monsters from the Abyss; even though the Traveler's strength has improved a lot, we haven't been able to truly infiltrate."

"Is that so?" Mu Yang nodded thoughtfully. He glanced at Lumine; the girl's condition was indeed not very good.

Although she wasn't injured, the exhaustion was quite significant, and her pace of gnawing on the chicken leg was much faster than usual. It seemed she was truly hungry.

"This time, the Abyss Order is coming with great momentum. You must be careful; the battle may be much more intense than the last one," Mu Yang said to Lumine with a pointed look. "Also, you already know that your brother is related to the Abyss.

Have you prepared yourself to get involved?"

Lumine's movement of eating the chicken leg paused. She took a deep breath and said, "According to my investigation, the Abyss Order is causing massive destruction to this world; they seem to have started invading five hundred years ago.

And my brother and I were also sealed five hundred years ago.

The Abyss Order and some of Khaenri'ah's technology give me a sense of déjà vu.

Perhaps my brother wasn't captured by the Abyss Order as I initially thought, but rather has inextricable ties with the Abyss Order and Khaenri'ah."

After a pause, Lumine's expression became incredibly firm. "Regardless of what his goal is or what his original intention was, the Abyss Order's actions are wrong. If that guy Aether has truly fallen into the Abyss, I will definitely beat him until he wakes up!"

Seeing Lumine like this, Mu Yang let out a soft laugh. "A very good thought. During this time, I have also been investigating intelligence regarding your brother." ===== CHAPTER 259 =====
