Chapter 196

"Presumably he wants to entertain Su Bai warmly."

"Let's hurry over too."

[Liyue Wuwang Hill.]

[Su Bai and Demonized Su Bai sat on a stone like brothers.]

[Demonized Su Bai told the truth of the matter.]

[The matter has to be traced back to six hundred years ago.]

[When Su Bai killed the Demon Lord, the tree seed inside the Demon Lord quietly sneaked into Su Bai's body.]

["You mean..."]

[Su Bai was startled.]

[The demonized self nodded: "It was after the war ended, that slight stinging pain we felt."]

["I thought it was a stone that hit my face." Su Bai helplessly lay on the stone: "I didn't expect it to be a tree seed."]

["Yes, the Demon Lord knew he couldn't win, so he turned the big tree in his body into a seed and invaded our bodies."]

["Taking root and sprouting, wanting to rely on this power to seize our bodies and then be reborn."]

["Unfortunately, he failed; I completely destroyed his consciousness and inherited this big tree."]

[This is the reason why Demonized Su Bai was buried three years ago.]

[When he was refining the Demon Lord's consciousness, the overall state he presented to everyone was death.]

[People who didn't know the truth buried him with tears.]

[It is a pity that Demonized Su Bai has not yet been able to eliminate the demonic energy on the big tree, leading to the curse spreading throughout Teyvat.]

[But for Su Bai personally, his strength has been greatly enhanced.]

[This big tree even retains information about all the worlds the Demon Lord has devoured.]

["Since that's the case, you can completely refine it, and then find a way to resurrect everyone, wouldn't that be fine."]

[For Su Bai's idea, Demonized Su Bai smiled helplessly.]

[He pointed to the sky.]

[Su Bai looked up, and a woman was standing high in the sky.]

[Seeing Su Bai looking over, the woman bowed respectfully to him.]

["Her immediate superior is the manager of Teyvat's order."]

["She does have the ability to resurrect the people of Teyvat, but it's a pity that even if everyone is resurrected, the current environment of Teyvat is no longer suitable for their survival."]

["And the power of the curse is connected to our original power, and I currently have no good way to completely clear them."]

["The final outcome is that only I am left in this world; if you want to live here, you must take the Satan Fruit."]

["It's just a pity that even if you take it, you can only survive as a very powerful monster that has lost its sanity."]

[Su Bai grinned awkwardly.]

[He finally understood the problem stated by his future self.]

[Simply put, because Su Bai's own original power source changed, the power leakage during the process of generating a new power source caused Teyvat's species to be unable to adapt, leading to a mass extinction of species.]

[Currently, Demonized Su Bai and Teyvat's manager don't have a good solution.]

[The most critical point is...]

[For Su Bai, those familiar faces, those familiar laughter and joy will no longer exist.]

[The new power generated by the fusion of the two powers is indeed exciting.]

[But compared to those familiar faces.]

[All this power seems so insignificant.]

["Then you should discuss with her and let her go back to six hundred years ago to tell the past us about this matter."]

["Directly let the past us dig her out before she tears the sky, and chop her to death with one sword, wouldn't that be the end of it."]

["As long as she dies, the Demon Lord will lose the coordinates to descend to Teyvat, and everything will not happen."]

["What you said makes a lot of sense." Demonized Su Bai had an approving expression.]

[But soon, he spread his hands: "I heard her say that as the Time Archon of Celestia, the reason she has the power to exist in the past, present, and future simultaneously is thanks to the power of the Nüwa Stone and Xuanyuan Sword back then, which enabled their Celestia to resume operation."]

["And regarding the Demon Lord's descent, the power of this event itself has far exceeded their capabilities; as the Time Archon, she doesn't have such great power to change the Demon Lord's descent on the timeline."]

[Su Bai was speechless, looking up at the sky again.]

[Teyvat's Time Archon.]

[Can exist in Teyvat's past, present, and future simultaneously.]

["That woman is waiting there, presumably wanting me to go back to the past and act as the past Su Bai to kill the Demon Lord."]

["In that case, as long as the past Su Bai is not calculated by the Demon Lord, the tree in our bodies will also cease to exist."]

[Su Bai let out a long breath; things were far easier than he thought.]

[As long as he goes back and mobilizes the Xuanyuan Sword to chop the Demon Lord to death with one sword, the matter will be over; his body already has the seed, so it doesn't matter if he hosts a few more.]

[As long as he ensures that the past self doesn't have this demon seed, then the future self will naturally change again.]

["Hmm..."]

["But I have to remind you that the tree seed in your body has already started to sprout, and the original power has changed quietly."]

["The Xuanyuan Sword is connected to our original power; if you touch it, I'm worried that you will bring the demonic energy in your body to the Xuanyuan Sword."]

[Su Bai: "Huh?"]

[Standing up indignantly.]

["Then why did you bring me here?"]

["Even if you want to bring someone, you could bring me from another timeline."]

["For example, me before the Khaenri'ah catastrophe five hundred years ago; at that time, I had the seed in my body and the Xuanyuan Sword in my hand."]

[Demonized Su Bai's mouth twitched slightly, full of apologies: "Don't be too excited."]

["Let's put it this way, it's not that I don't want to."]

["With the Xuanyuan Sword by your side, her power cannot move you for time travel."]

["You who just lost the Xuanyuan Sword, that is, you after the Khaenri'ah catastrophe five hundred years ago, she also cannot move you."]

["It's not that she doesn't want to, it's that she can't move you..."]

["And the reason why she can move you five hundred years after the Khaenri'ah catastrophe is because their Celestia finally converted the power of the Nüwa Stone and Xuanyuan Sword."]

["And the power of those otherworldly monsters and the Demon Lord's corpse that were leveled by the Xuanyuan Sword."]

["Although she, as Teyvat's Time Archon, exists in Teyvat's past, present, and future."]

["But her power presents differently after the major events on each timeline."]

["In short, choosing and choosing, only you are the most suitable."]

Enjou: "Why am I so dizzy listening to this."

Dvalin: "Me too, I don't understand at all."

Alhaitham: "Regarding the issue of time travel, it is indeed too profound."

Lumine: "Listening to it, I only understood one meaning: the Time Archon Istaroth cannot move Su Bai for time travel."

Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: "That's right, although Istaroth can exist in Teyvat's past, present, and future simultaneously, as far as Istaroth is concerned, her own power cannot move Su Bai for time travel; the Istaroth who can move Su Bai is the Istaroth who has finished converting power, which means Celestia spent five hundred years converting the two great divine artifacts and the corpses of monsters purified by the Xuanyuan Sword. The Istaroth five hundred years after the Khaenri'ah catastrophe is the most powerful Istaroth, and she finally possessed the ability to move Su Bai, who does not have the two great divine artifacts and has been enjoying five hundred years of mortal life."]

Neuvillette: "Uh..."

Skirk: "Only the strongest Time Archon can move the weakest Su Bai, huh."

Furina: "So that's how it is; although it's very profound, doesn't it mean my dear is very powerful?"

Focalors: "It can no longer be described simply as powerful."

Venti: "So scary, it turns out Su-ye's ability is so powerful, and the outside world is so scary..."

Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: "Hmph! You are all dissatisfied with the False Sky, all dreaming of breaking the False Sky to obtain so-called freedom; if there were no protection from the False Sky, facing external threats, what is your winning rate?"

Venti: "Uh... it's okay... we have Su-ye..."

Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: "....."

Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: "You are really promising, Barbatos."

Paimon: "Wait, the Time Archon is taking Su Bai of this period back to six hundred years ago to kill the Demon Lord, and he can't call the Xuanyuan Sword; how can he fight the Demon Lord?"

Kamisato Ayaka: "He doesn't need to fight the Demon Lord; he just needs to tell the past self about the matter and let the past self be careful not to be calculated by the Demon Lord, that's enough, right?"

Yae Miko: "As expected of the White Heron Princess of the Kamisato family; this brain turns really fast."

["I understand."]
