Chapter 769

"Decarabian?" Mu Yang looked at Venti with a look that was half-smile, half-serious.

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

If it weren't for her help and her willingness to sacrifice, I would likely still be nothing more than a wind sprite now."

"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 long ago.

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

In truth, she was a god who loved humanity deeply; she was no tyrant, she only acted 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 that your people's choice was wrong, would you still allow them to go through with it?"

Upon hearing this, Venti fell silent; this was something he had truly never thought about.

For thousands of years, the people of Mondstadt had faced problems, but every time they encountered an issue, he had always chosen to guide humanity to deal with those problems themselves.

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

But if humanity collectively made a wrong decision, should he, as the Anemo Archon, go and stop them?

"For example, when the people of Mondstadt begin to worship power and attempt to obtain Abyssal power.

If almost all the people of Mondstadt were like that, what would you, the Anemo Archon, do?" Mu Yang wasn't just speaking aimlessly; he was mainly reminded of a certain plotline from *Ultraman Tiga*.

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

In the Ultra Ancient era, those beings of light left Earth precisely because humanity was influenced by the pollen of Gijera.

So what about the Teyvat continent?

If the Abyss also possessed such methods, would the Teyvat continent still resist?

"How could that be?" Venti said without even thinking: "It is impossible for my people to do such a thing. Moreover, Mondstadt was built over thousands of years; it is a history of struggle. They could never abandon hope and commit evil together."

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

Just like the incident with Decarabian back then; if Decarabian hadn't been too soft-hearted and given her power to Venti, those fellows in Mondstadt would have frozen to death long ago.

Venti, merely a wind sprite at the time, could not have protected them.

If that had truly been the case, I fear the entirety 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 having one's kindness treated as a donkey's lung.

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

Moreover, even today, Mondstadt seems to refer to Decarabian as the Tyrant of the High Tower; she is considered 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 god.

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

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

After all, she was a very gentle god; if Decarabian wanted to become the Anemo Archon, Venti would not mind yielding the position.

After all, he himself had grown weary of the position of Anemo Archon.

If Decarabian wanted to do it, there would be no problem with him handing over the Anemo Archon's divine office.

After all, for Barbatos, the position of Anemo Archon was nothing but a burden.

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

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

Let Dvalin make his home on Ma Sike Reef; then there will be no need to worry about Ma Sike 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 familiar.

However, the combat power Dvalin displayed was not particularly strong. But now, Mu Yang knew that Dvalin was actually the third-generation Long Wang, even if this Anemo Long Wang was a bit lackluster, and the second-generation Anemo Long Wang had already died once before.

Yet, he still had talent and potential. Since Dvalin was on Barbatos's side, Mu Yang didn't mind cultivating him; he would also be a high-level combat asset for the Teyvat continent.

Mu Yang was very fortunate that he was not Phanes. If he were Phanes, it would be impossible for the likes of 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 the Teyvat continent, 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; 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 the Teyvat continent.

In a sense, Mu Yang was truly Phanes's successor. Phanes had finished much of the dirty and exhausting work, even bearing the blame, while Mu Yang, upon arriving in the Teyvat continent, became 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 incomparably strong. Even with Mu Yang's powerful talent, he could not guarantee that he could truly preserve the Teyvat continent when facing the erosion of the Abyss.

"Very well!" Venti did not refuse upon hearing this.

Letting Dvalin guard Ma Sike Reef seemed like a good idea.

Having him guard Ma Sike Reef occasionally was no problem. For the sake of Mondstadt and the development of the Teyvat continent, Venti would not refuse to guard Ma Sike Reef for a period of time. But if someone could replace him, Venti would not be stuck in prison there forever.

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

Guarding Ma Sike Reef required at least Archon-level strength.

Fortunately, for those in the chat group, raising their cultivation to the Golden Core Stage was not an unattainable goal. At worst, he would just have to guard Ma Sike Reef for a year or two; at Diluc and the others' speed, they could cultivate to the Golden Core Stage in at most a year.
