Chapter 244

Tianquan Ningguang: "This... Paimon?"

Paimon: "Hmm! What is (cgdd) going on?"

A floating island.

The women looked at Paimon, who was scratching her head, in shock.

Paimon looked puzzled: "Hmm, why does the Heavenly Principles look a bit like me? Lumine, don't you think that's strange?"

I think the strange one is you.

Lumine rolled her eyes.

What on earth is going on?

Could Paimon, my best companion by my side, be the incarnation of the Heavenly Principles, Phanes?

"Paimon!"

Lumine suddenly stood up and grabbed Paimon with both hands.

She kept looking her up, down, left, and right.

The more she looked, the more alike they seemed.

She was simply a miniature Phanes; the only difference was that Paimon had no wings behind her.

But she can fly.

Emergency food has actually turned into the Heavenly Principles?

"Hmm! I really don't know!"

Paimon scratched her head and smiled.

"This..."

The women looked at each other.

No way, no way.

Could the master of the Sky Island have been following Lumine all along?

And now she's nesting on the floating island; could she be here to act as a spy?

But thinking again, everyone dismissed the thought.

The Phanes of the previous life was so respectful to Su Bai; she would certainly not be foolish enough to come looking for trouble with Su Bai.

Moreover, the attitude of the Heavenly Principles' Sustainer in the live stream was clearly very approachable; no matter how you analyzed it, the relationship between the Sky Island and Su Bai must be extremely harmonious.

The Heavenly Principles' Sustainer: "Forget it, I'll explain it to you all."

The Heavenly Principles' Sustainer then revealed the entire truth to everyone in the live stream.

Everyone listened with their hair standing on end, dumbfounded, and utterly shocked.

But in the end, they all let out a long breath.

Lumine: "So Paimon is the will of the Heavenly Principles left by Phanes by my side? The purpose is to guide me to become the new master of the Sky Island?"

Aether: "What? I was actually a tool manipulated by the Abyss? Your meaning is that I am the figurehead put forward by the Abyss to compete with Lumine for the Sky Island?"

Alhaitham: "This is actually the truth of Teyvat. The traveler siblings who can possess both the Light Realm power and the Void Realm power; one represents the Sky Island, the other represents the Abyss, and the two are fighting for ownership of the Teyvat continent."

The Light Realm power is the so-called light of Bai Zhou, which can be dispersed into seven elemental powers.

The Void Realm power is the power of the Abyss.

The power of the Primordial One itself was not the light of Bai Zhou; it was only after constant great wars weakened his own power that Phanes discovered the Light Realm power and, using some means, divided the Light Realm power into seven elemental powers.

Moreover, a Vision is needed to transform the elemental power before it can become a harmless power usable by the people of Teyvat.

Baizhu: "Speaking of which, I remember the Cuijue Stone back then."

Lumine: "Yes, I remember that the Cuijue Stone containing elemental power had different harmful effects on people."

Klee: "Then, then what does that mean?"

Nahida: "The reason people of Teyvat cannot wield multiple elemental powers is probably because..."

Zhong Li: "The so-called light of Bai Zhou causes huge harm to the people of Teyvat; it should be the same as the power of the Abyss."

Yuan Shang: "The light of Bai Zhou is diluted into elemental power and can be used through a Vision; then, can the power of the Abyss also be transformed by a Vision after being diluted?"

Xingqiu: "I don't know, but I remember when we had a meal with Xiao back then, as long as we wore a Vision, we would not be affected by the evil qi on his body for a short time."

Hiss.

The people of Teyvat were completely numb.

In that case, the truth of Teyvat is like the Sky Island playing a grand chess game with the Abyss.

The human world is the chessboard.

Both sides push out one person who can be unaffected by both the Light Realm power and the Void Realm power to fight for ownership of Teyvat.

Not only is the power of the Abyss harmful to people, but even the light of Bai Zhou will destroy the people of Teyvat.

Wanmin Restaurant.

Everyone's gaze turned to Su Bai at the same time.

Su Bai was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Sorry, I don't know much about the problems of your world."

It was not that he really didn't know.

Su Bai knew clearly in his heart that the Sustainer of the Heavenly Principles, the Spatial Archon, had not revealed everything to the people of Teyvat.

The goal of the Abyss has never been to destroy Teyvat.

They also wanted to occupy the Sky Island to obtain the authority of the world.

Otherwise, they would not have gone to great lengths to push Aether to land on the Sky Island.

Whether it is the Sky Island or the Abyss.

In their competition with each other, they were also thinking about how to make the creatures of Teyvat reach a state of coexistence.

But in Su Bai's eyes, as the master of Celestia, or rather, as Teyvat's original master,

she had acted one step ahead of the Abyss, which sought to invade Teyvat.

She had broken down the power of the Light Realm and distributed the Visions.

The purpose of the Visions was to enable humans to wield elemental power.

However, the greater part of the reason was to sift out, among the people of the Human Realm, those who possessed an extraordinarily powerful Will (Wish).

This kind of intense wish, this faith in the gods, was precisely the power Celestia needed most.

Lumine: "Mm..."

Aether: "Sis, what are you thinking about?"

Lumine: "I don't think it matters, really. Whether it's the Light of Bai Zhou or the power of the Abyss, whoever becomes the master of Celestia..."

Lumine: "I'm living well right now. If the Abyss wants my brother to become the master of Celestia, then let him go."

Aether: "..."

Dainsleif: "Aether is thinking, the floating island just hangs in the sky above Teyvat—what's the damn point of me even landing on Celestia."

Enjou: "As a Chanter of the Abyss, I believe that even if Teyvat's boundary hadn't been thickened, with Su Ye wedged between the Abyss and Celestia, who'd be bored enough to harbor designs on Teyvat?"

Alice: "Isn't the Otherworldly Demon Lord the perfect example? He wanted to devour Teyvat, but he didn't show up at our door with a gift in hand, so my dear hubby sent him off to where he belonged with a single sword strike."

Focalors: "Pfft, that analogy of yours is vivid."

Arataki Itto: "Oh no, does this mean I can't call Paimon a flying short-stuff violet anymore? She won't transform into the Heavenly Principles and smite me down, right?"

Kuki Shinobu: "I find myself at a loss for words with you, boss."

Paimon: "You cattle-herding oaf, I'm still completely clueless myself here."

Lumine: "Sorry, even though I hold titles like Honorary Knight, the First Sage of the Second-generation Buer, and Captain of the Second Swordfish Squadron,"

Lumine: "as Su Bai's wife, and with a bolster imbued with the Will of the Heavenly Principles right by my side, I can absolutely stroll sideways across all of Teyvat."

Paimon: "Uh, Lumine, have you evolved into a Teyvat hairy crab or something?"

Lumine: "(Alert·Collei)"

Aether: "Sis, be more magnanimous. As Su Bai's brother-in-law, I can stroll sideways across other worlds too..."

Dainsleif: "Pull yourself together, Aether. The other worlds don't yet know you have such a formidable brother-in-law—get yourself killed first and it'll be too late for everything."

【Even the order-bearers of Celestia have descended upon the continent of Teyvat.】

【Su Bai glanced at the grinning fellows behind him.】

【The corner of his mouth curled up.】

【"Forget it..."】

【"Since none of you are afraid of dying, I have nothing more to say."】

【Su Bai tapped his fists together and looked toward the Demon Generals and Demon Lord standing at the horizon.】
