Chapter 250

Hu Tao: "This is way too terrifying."

Ningguang: "I just suddenly realized a very serious problem. Su Bai himself is so powerful, so how was he trapped by Teyvat's order, and kept reincarnating along with Teyvat?"

Keqing: "Really, now that you mention it. We never thought about it before, but thinking about it now, it really is strange."

Yae Miko: "Hmph! I think I see it clearly now. All of this still comes down to a problem with Celestia."

Kamisato Ayaka: "What do you mean?"

Yae Miko: "Didn't you see that even the Heavenly Principles came down this time? I think Teyvat's constant reincarnation is inseparable from Su Bai. He's been continuously recharging Celestia."

Lisa: "I understand. After all, the source of Celestia's power doesn't belong to the Heavenly Principles themselves, so while maintaining the world's operation, sooner or later it would be exhausted. The Heavenly Principles wanted Su Bai to inherit Teyvat, but this guy refused the Heavenly Principles' request for some reason. So the Heavenly Principles threw out a temptation, letting Su Bai feel what Teyvat gave him during endless reincarnation, making him form a bond with Teyvat, and then slowly placing him on the throne of Celestia."

Lumine: "I suddenly feel what you said makes a lot of sense. The Heavenly Principles made two preparations: one left for me, and one constantly letting Su Bai reincarnate and play around in Teyvat."

Abyss Lecturer: "The Heavenly Principles said, 'Come play~ Mr. Su, our Teyvat has so, so many fun things, you'll definitely like it.'"

Aether: "Then once my brother-in-law heard that, 'Wow, your world is actually this amazing, and you can play like this,' he agreed to have his memories erased and throw himself into reincarnation."

Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: "...."

Su Bai: "So are you trying to say that the current Celestia is constantly restoring my memories, making me stay here completely?"

Paimon: "Hmph hmph, everything is Celestia's conspiracy."

Arataki Itto: "Wait, aren't you the will of the Heavenly Principles? You're cursing yourself."

Buer: "My dear Mr. Su, do you think Teyvat is fun now?"

Focalors: "Come play on the Floating Island, Mr. Su..."

Navia: "Come play on the Floating Island, Mr. Su..."

Alice: "Is Teyvat more fun or the Floating Island more fun, Mr. Su?"

Su Bai: "....."

Su Bai: "That's my home."

Yae Miko: "Hmph hmph, we should have thought long ago that the Floating Island and Celestia must have some kind of connection. Turns out it was prepared by the Heavenly Principles for Su Bai."

Su Bai: "You guys really know how to fantasize. I think I should go work at your Yae Publishing House and write a novel called 'Descending into Teyvat: The Unspeakable Secrets with the Heavenly Principles Phanes.'"

Yae Miko: "You said you're coming to Yae Publishing House, you can't take it back."

Lumine: "You little fox, how dare you dig a pit for my family's Mr. Su?"

Chapter 137: Shenhe under the black qipao, even the Butt Regiment Commander has to avoid her edge

In the luxurious private room of Wanmin Restaurant.

Hu Tao and the others looked at Su Bai with little stars sparkling in their eyes.

They had long known he was extraordinary, but they didn't expect him to be THIS extraordinary.

Turns out he had reached some kind of agreement with the Heavenly Principles.

Zhong Li deliberately picked up his teacup, slightly blocking his own line of sight.

Venti, on the other hand, seized the opportunity of the old-timer treating and went wild showing off his drinking.

He didn't care at all whether Su Bai had any connection with the Heavenly Principles. In any case, his appearance in Teyvat was absolutely a blessing for everyone in Teyvat.

Su Bai continued eating, his peripheral vision sweeping toward those two old fellows.

Based on the reincarnation story currently playing, Su Bai discovered that the system had used his own abilities as a background premise to scramble the order, creating segments of reincarnation.

He just didn't expect that even Phanes would get dragged into it.

Speaking of Phanes, she really had it fucking tough.

She came to Teyvat, defeated the elemental Dragon Kings, and created land where humans could live.

When people were hungry, she sent down food.

When people needed to develop, she sent down minerals and knowledge.

Whatever people needed, they only had to pray to the heavens, and she would satisfy them as much as possible.

But then the arrival of the Second Descender, the Throne, broke all the peace.

In that battle, the heavens collapsed and the earth split apart.

Some countries were smashed directly deep underground.

Later, the Dragon King Nibelung, who had obtained the power of the Abyss from the outside world, came for another great battle, causing the order of Celestia that maintained Teyvat to completely collapse.

To establish a new order, Phanes united six fellows who craved power to kill the Third Descender, seized its power, and created a new world order based on the seven elements dispersed by the light of White Day. After that, she used her last strength to maintain the operation of Celestia and Teyvat, handed all order over to the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles to guard, and completely fell into slumber, slowly awaiting death.

And those six were Irmin, Surterloch, Rhineindott, Pierro, Dainsleif, and Viserfnel of Khaenri'ah.

The reason Skirk knew that the Gnoses were the remains of the Third Descender was precisely because her teacher Surterloch was one of the participants.

"Guoba!"

Xiangling's displeasure interrupted Su Bai's thoughts.

He looked down.

The Stove God Marchosius was chewing on something by his feet.

"How could you swallow Mr. Su Bai's Golden Shrimp Balls."

"Pfft!" Keqing snickered.

"This is great, we can make a few more portions of Golden Shrimp Balls." Ningguang laughed.

He couldn't help but look at Zhong Li, who was calmly drinking tea.

"Lord Geo will have to shell out some more Mora."

"Mm..." Zhong Li struck a pretentious pose: "Excuse me, could Wanmin Restaurant, in the face of treating Mr. Su Bai, give me a discount..."

"You scared me. I almost thought Lord Geo would say 'put it on Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's tab.'"

Hu Tao immediately relaxed.

The dining table immediately erupted in laughter and joy.

Su Bai's gaze swept left and right.

The corners of Ganyu and Shenhe's mouths beside him secretly curved into smiles.

He had to admit, this warm feeling was far more pleasant to Su Bai than fighting and killing.

【Liyue Harbor six hundred years ago...】

【One white and one black figure stood atop a distant ridge.】

【Where their gaze fell was precisely the group of people, six hundred years later, cheering and making a ruckus on the battlefield.】

【"That bunch six hundred years from now sure are noisy."】

【Su Bai withdrew the Xuanyuan Sword back into his body.】

【Zhong Li glanced over the battlefield, then asked Su Bai curiously: "The great catastrophe of Khaenri'ah a hundred years from now — surely you're not going to go and stop it in advance?"】

【He was lost in thought for a moment.】

【Su Bai shook his head and said: "So far, the course of history hasn't shifted too much. As for Khaenri'ah..."】

【"Great power always tempts people down a road of no return."】

【"But compared to great power, I still prefer the noisy, lively scenes."】

【The answer was simple.】

【Although Su Bai didn't say it outright, Zhong Li still caught the meaning behind his words.】

【Compared to altering the grand course of history, he was more worried that in the future he wouldn't get to see that noisy group of people below.】

【For that reason, he would still choose, a hundred years later, to drive the Xuanyuan Sword into the soil of Khaenri'ah and sweep away all the Abyssal disasters.】

【"Is that so." Zhong Li chuckled lightly: "So the you who lost most of his power became the biggest street loafer of Liyue Harbor six hundred years later?"】

【Hearing this, Su Bai looked at Zhong Li with a face full of disdain.】

【"Speaking of street loafers, the Geo Archon himself is the biggest one, right?"】

【The two of them traded quips for a while.】

【When they looked back at the battlefield, those noisy people had already vanished.】

【"They've returned to where they belong. Let's go too."】

【Zhong Li reminded him.】

【Su Bai nodded.】

【As if a little reluctant, after walking a few steps he cast his gaze back toward the battlefield.】

【"Still another six hundred years to wait..."】

【"But it doesn't matter anymore."】
