Chapter 415

Even if he came, he came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Is their Mondstadt bad?

It shouldn't be; Jean firmly believed that Mondstadt wouldn't be worse than any other country; it should be that there was no such bond.

So she and Barbara were doing this for Mondstadt, representing Mondstadt to be with Mu Yang; thinking of this, Jean's heart also made a decision.

Everything couldn't be changed, so it was better to accept this reality, and Mu Yang wasn't bad, right?

It could even be said that she and Barbara were climbing high.

Barbara, don't worry, I will always be with you in the future; as long as I can win over Mu Yang, I will definitely not leave you behind.

Jean thought of many competition novels that Lisa had recommended to her, and silently promised Barbara in her heart.

"Yes, everything for Mondstadt!" Barbara's eyes were filled with holy radiance.

It was just that Venti didn't know that he needed to take the blame for Mu Yang, this shameless guy.

Yes, yes, yes, this was all his fault, everything was his will.

This was all for Mondstadt!

"Ehe, Mu Yang, you're here!! Want a drink?" When Mu Yang was packing breakfast at the Good Hunter restaurant, Venti walked over and greeted Mu Yang.

"Drinking early in the morning, as expected of you!" Mu Yang was speechless when he saw Venti.

Although he had done some things that were a bit guilty, thinking about it carefully, this old guy Venti probably didn't know, and the other party didn't have the ability to spy on things around him.

Moreover, he didn't seem to have done anything wrong; after all, he didn't use the identity of the Heavenly Principles to oppress Jean and Barbara; they were voluntary.

Well, he was a person who walked with his heart, not his body; otherwise, the beautiful girls in Teyvat wouldn't be able to run away.

His heart was still very pure; like Eula, Raiden Makoto, Raiden Sakura, Alice, Shenhe, Hearing Hearing Ganyu, these girls, he hadn't even touched one.

"Ehe, isn't drinking in the morning and evening the same? Eh, fine, there is indeed a slight difference now." Venti soon noticed his mistake.

The matter of the false sky wasn't a secret to the people in the chat group.

Even Venti himself knew this so-called secret.

But now the sky of Teyvat wasn't completely false; the sun and the moon were real, integrated with the power of the sun and the moon by Mu Yang; these were the real sun and moon.

In the future, when cultivating immortality, this power of the sun and the moon would play a crucial role.

For ordinary living beings, there was indeed a huge difference between day and night.

"Hmmph." Seeing Venti like this, Mu Yang shrugged: "But that said, aren't you stationed at Musk Reef?"

You know, Musk Reef had its seal partially broken by Barbatos, and it was usually guarded by Barbatos himself.

"Ehe, I found Eula before and let her guard it for me for a few days." Venti waved his hand; this matter itself was a win-win situation.

Venti could get rid of the shackles and come out to play for a few days, while Eula could brush the Abyss points to strengthen herself.

Of course, if an accident happened at Musk Reef, Eula alone definitely wouldn't be able to hold on.

With Eula's current strength, it was still a bit too poor; Barbatos, this guy, started being lazy again.

Thinking of this, Mu Yang looked at Venti with helpless eyes; this guy, can't he be steady at critical moments?

"Don't look at me like that; actually, I want to resurrect a lord." Seeing Mu Yang like this, Venti explained quickly.

"Decarabian?" Mu Yang looked at Venti with a half-smile.

"Yes, it is Decarabian!" Seeing Mu Yang's expression, Venti became incredibly serious and said: "Although she is the God of Storms, Decarabian was an incredibly gentle deity.

If it weren't for her help and fulfillment, I fear I would still be nothing more than a wind sprite today."

"My guess was correct after all." Mu Yang nodded in realization: "It seems there really was a hidden story behind what happened back then."

Venti gave a bitter laugh: "It seems you had already guessed it.

The stories circulating outside aren't exactly wrong, but what they don't know is that when Decarabian learned that humans did not wish to be confined within the high walls, she began to doubt herself.

In truth, she was a deity who loved humanity deeply; she was no tyrant, merely trying to protect them. After discovering that her people had all turned against her, Decarabian gave all her power to me, and she herself chose to fall."

"So that's how it was?" Mu Yang chuckled softly, then asked Venti: "Then I must ask you one thing: if you clearly knew your people's choice was wrong, would you still allow them to do it?"

Venti fell silent upon hearing this; this was something he had truly never considered.

Over the millennia, the people of Mondstadt had faced problems, but every time they did, he had always chosen to guide humanity to deal with those issues themselves.

Just like Vennessa in the past; she truly was a person of immense light.

But if humans collectively made a wrong decision, should he, as the Anemo Archon, step in to stop them?

"For instance, if the people of Mondstadt began to worship power and attempted to obtain the power of the Abyss.

If almost all of Mondstadt were like that, what would you, the Anemo Archon, do?" Mu Yang wasn't speaking without cause; he was mainly reminded of a certain plotline from *Tiga*.

At that time, humanity was influenced by the pollen of Gijera, but Daigo eventually stood up.

In the ultra-ancient era, those lights left Earth precisely because humanity was influenced by Gijera's pollen.

So, what about the continent of Teyvat?

If the Abyss possessed such means, would Teyvat still be able to resist?

"How could that be?" Venti said without a second thought: "My people could never do such a thing. Besides, Mondstadt has been established for thousands of years; it is a history of struggle. They would never abandon hope and collectively commit evil."

"Perhaps!" Mu Yang looked deeply at Venti. He also hoped such a thing would never happen, but what if it did?

Just like the matter of Decarabian back then—if she hadn't been too soft-hearted and given her power to Venti, those people in Mondstadt would have frozen to death long ago.

Venti, as a mere wind sprite, could not have protected them.

If that had truly been the case, I fear all of Mondstadt could never have been established.

In Mu Yang's view, those who acted that way back then were truly courting death.

It was also a case of kindness being treated as malice.

Perhaps Decarabian's actions had some flaws, but that was hardly a reason for them to rebel against her, was it?

Moreover, even now, Mondstadt seems to refer to Decarabian as the Tyrant of the High Tower; she is notorious.

"I am going to resurrect Decarabian now. I ask that when the time comes, you invite her into the chat group. She is a very gentle deity.

She will surely be able to help us then!" Venti added in a respectful tone.

As for whether Decarabian would compete with him for the position of Anemo Archon, Venti did not care much.

After all, she was a very gentle deity by nature. If Decarabian wanted to become the Anemo Archon, Venti would not mind yielding the position.

He himself had grown weary of the position of Anemo Archon anyway.

If Decarabian wanted it, there would be no problem in him handing over the divine office.

After all, for Barbatos, the position of Anemo Archon was a burden.

If it were Decarabian's divine power, combined with the future help of the chat group, she should be able to maintain the thousand-year grand movement, right?

"Very well!" Mu Yang did not refuse: "Bring Dvalin along when the time comes.

Let Dvalin make his home on Musk Reef; then there will be no need to worry about Musk Reef being breached by the Abyss in the short term."

Previously, Mu Yang had somewhat looked down on Dvalin's combat power, even though the other was the first formidable enemy encountered in the game.

And he was the Anemo Archon's companion.

However, the combat power Dvalin displayed was not particularly strong. But now, Mu Yang knew that Dvalin was the third generation Dragon King. Although this Anemo Dragon King was a bit lackluster—the second generation Anemo Dragon King had already died once before—

he still had talent and potential. Since Dvalin was on Barbatos's side, Mu Yang did not mind cultivating him; he would eventually become a high-level combatant for Teyvat.

Mu Yang was very fortunate that he was not Phanes. If he were Phanes, it would be impossible for Neuvillette, Dvalin, or even Azhdaha to work for him.

After all, the relationship between the Dragon Kings and Phanes was one of life-and-death enmity. Perhaps Phanes, in order to maintain the balance of Teyvat, would not exterminate the Dragon Kings.

But he would absolutely never allow the Dragon Kings to grow powerful. Likewise, the Dragon Kings could never work for Phanes.

But Mu Yang was not Phanes, and there was no conflict between them. This allowed Mu Yang to coexist harmoniously with the Dragon Kings and, in the future, have them fight for Teyvat.

In a sense, Mu Yang was truly Phanes's successor. Phanes had done all the dirty work, and even bore the blame, while Mu Yang, upon arriving in Teyvat, was the savior.

Such treatment could not be better.

The only headache was the need to oppose the Abyss, and the power of the Abyss was incredibly strong. Even with his powerful talent, Mu Yang could not guarantee that he could truly preserve Teyvat when facing the erosion of the Abyss.

"Very well!" Venti did not refuse.

Letting Dvalin guard Musk Reef seemed like a good idea.

Having him occasionally guard Musk Reef was no problem. For the sake of Mondstadt and the development of Teyvat, Venti would not refuse to guard Musk Reef for a period of time, but if someone could replace him, Venti would not stay imprisoned there forever.

Originally, Venti had planned to wait for Diluc or Lisa to return and arrange for them to go to Musk Reef, or wait for Eula and the others to improve their strength.

Guarding Musk Reef required at least Archon-level strength.

Fortunately, for those in the chat group, raising their cultivation to the Golden Core stage was not out of reach. At worst, he would just guard Musk Reef for a year or two; at the speed of Diluc and the others, they would reach the Golden Core stage in at most a year.
