Chapter 288

"The probability of gods being female is so high!!"

"Why do I feel like Phanes is also a woman?" Mu Yang complained, feeling a bit speechless.

Sure enough, in a world like this, girls are the ultimate truth.

Don't you see, ever since Nahida, Genshin Impact hasn't released a new limited five-star female character in a year, and the game's revenue has been getting worse by the day.

At the end of the day, this is still a game that relies on otaku spending money.

If the otakus no longer have the desire to spend money, then this game isn't far from its end.

It's been so long since Genshin Impact released a sexy limited five-star female character!!

"Phanes is indeed a woman; otherwise, we wouldn't appear in this form," Asmoday said, her expression subtle.

"..." Upon hearing this, Mu Yang silently looked up at the sky. He never expected that Phanes would actually be a woman.

But thinking about it carefully, it does make a bit of sense.

Besides, if Phanes were a woman, that would actually be quite nice.

"As for why there are more female gods, perhaps it's because the image of a woman is more suitable for guiding humanity!" Asmoday added afterward.

Mu Yang nodded slightly upon hearing this. Gods have the responsibility to guide humanity; this was something Phanes established long ago.

In fact, most Archons have indeed guided humanity well. Even Raiden Ei, who many see as problematic, has actually protected Inazuma very well.

The entirety of Inazuma was fought for by Raiden Ei. Long ago, when monsters ran rampant, the biggest headache for humanity wasn't the Archons, but those monsters covering the mountains and plains.

Hmm, the kind of monster that Hearing Hearing Ganyu choked to death. Don't look at how monsters are almost extinct now; during the Archon War, the ley lines were abnormally chaotic, and the number of monsters back then was far greater than what Teyvat has seen before.

Don't look at how Teyvat's ley lines were chaotic for a while after I appeared and Phanes fell, leading to monsters attacking the City of Mondstadt; in reality, during the Archon War, that amount of monsters was nothing.

And likewise, in that era, there were still Archons protecting humanity.

Of course, those days of constant ley line chaos and monster attacks were truly unbearable.

The ley lines only needed to be chaotic for a short time to produce so many monsters, and in that era, the ley lines were chaotic for thousands of years, until the Seven Archons were determined and the ley lines were completely stabilized.

This is also the importance of the Seven Archons.

Perhaps some people feel that since the ley lines are stable and the nations are secure, the Seven Archons seem to be dispensable roles for humanity.

But in reality, the Seven Archons are primarily responsible for guarding the mortal world and stabilizing the ley lines.

Of course, the ley lines are mainly kept stable by Celestia.

Now, this duty has fallen into the hands of Asmoday.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this issue. I just want you to help me study the means of attracting Abyssal energy," Mu Yang said to Asmoday.

After all, as the boss, one word from me means the subordinates have to run their legs off.

Asmoday can be considered his head steward, but this head steward is a bit unlucky and also a bit overworked.

"As for Lumine and Paimon, after the matters in Does Does Liyue are over, they will also enter the chat group," Mu Yang paused and continued: "However, for Paimon, it should take a long time to recover. Currently, there don't seem to be many places in Teyvat suitable for her to farm points."

As Paimon, who doesn't even have the combat power of a wild boar and whose elemental energy is intermittent, there really isn't any good place for her to farm points.

"Musk Reef!" But what Mu Yang received was Asmoday's shocking statement.

"That seems to be related to Khaenri'ah, right? And it's also the largest channel for Abyssal energy in all of Teyvat.

I've heard that it can lead directly to the Abyss," Mu Yang was shocked to hear about Musk Reef.

How could Mu Yang not know about this place?

After all, this is a place he had to visit almost every two weeks!

After reaching the content drought period, it felt like there was nothing fun to do besides the Spiral Abyss.

Especially when the Abyss could be cleared with full stars easily, with a minute or two to spare in every chamber, the game seemed to become quite dull.

In this world, Musk Reef does indeed lead to the Abyss!

"Yes, Musk Reef is the channel on Teyvat's surface to the former Khaenri'ah," Asmoday's expression wasn't very good when mentioning this: "You should know that Khaenri'ah brought about the Abyss back then."

"Hmm. And then you led the Seven Archons to suppress the dark calamity, and at the same time, you destroyed Khaenri'ah," Mu Yang nodded slightly: "I've always heard that Khaenri'ah was actually underground. Now that I hear you say this, I have some guesses.

I'm afraid Musk Reef was once the passage to Khaenri'ah, right?"

Asmoday nodded slightly and said: "Yes, we were unable to suppress the entire Abyss, so because we blocked the channel, Teyvat lost its shield against the Abyss."

Mu Yang understood instantly upon hearing this. This was a direct loss of territory!!

Just like the Song Dynasty in the Blue Star era, because they lost the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the Song lost their barrier, which led to the Song Dynasty being beaten up by the northern nations.

If the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were still there, relying on the Great Wall, they wouldn't need to fear the northern nomadic tribes, but they couldn't help that they didn't have them.

And in the Khaenri'ah war, Teyvat actually had a world barrier that could barely resist Abyssal attacks.

Although this resistance would eventually fail and lead to the world's destruction, it could have lasted for a very long time.

But because the people of Khaenri'ah brought in Abyssal energy, Phanes and the others couldn't continue to drive the Abyssal energy out, and even the world barrier was breached.

In other words, the current Teyvat is like the Song Dynasty that lost the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

Without the protection of the Great Wall, this is really damn frustrating.

Even now, Mu Yang couldn't help but complain: Khaenri'ah people, you really deserve to die. If you want to court death, don't drag the whole world down with you!!
