Chapter 292

You have to understand, the Abyss Order had not yet appeared at this time.

The founder of the Abyss Order came from Khaenri'ah, which was still far in the future from this moment.

Then is this so-called "Lord" the Lord of the Abyss?

Jiang Yan felt a hint of doubt within his heart.

"All of you, rise."

Just then, a vast, boundless voice echoed all around.

This voice was empty and weathered, carrying a feeling as if it were about to dissipate.

As the words fell, Jiang Yan stood up together with Yuan Huo and the others.

But whether it was the Abyss Heralds or the Abyss Lectors, all of them kept their heads lowered at this moment, looking extremely obedient.

Of course, except for a certain someone pretending to be an Abyss Herald.

Jiang Yan was currently using his peripheral vision to constantly observe that human silhouette.

Hiss, what the hell is that.

Damn it, still playing mysterious, hiding in the water and not showing yourself.

Jiang Yan was so angry his teeth itched.

Acting all mysterious even in front of your own people.

"My supreme Lord, may I ask if the ritual may begin?"

The Abyss Lectors dropped to one knee in unison mid-air, asking in respectful voices.

"Begin."

The silhouette did not move; only the voice rose once more from within the city.

"Yes! My revered Lord!"

The Abyss Lectors stood up, and their entire bodies began to move in an eerie dance.

Then, under Jiang Yan's gaze, the surrounding Abyss monsters also began to move in an eerie dance.

Not just the surrounding Abyss monsters—even the silhouette referred to as the "Lord" was dancing!

Jiang Yan mimicked their movements, dancing along with them.

The ground began to tremble, and the entire pool began to boil.

"Power that drowns all things!"

"I welcome your arrival!"

"Power that drowns all things!"

"Please accept our worship!"

As the silhouette's hollow moan rose, the entire Abyss City seemed to tremble.

The chanting gradually grew louder; first the Lectors began to chant.

Then all the Abyss monsters on the ground joined in the chanting.

Jiang Yan watched his surroundings with a solemn expression.

The power that drowns all things......

Drown......

Indeed, the power of the Abyss originates from the Quantum Sea!

In Jiang Yan's understanding, the only power capable of drowning all things—a power beyond the world itself—

is the Quantum Sea.

At this moment, part of the Abyss's secrets had already been unraveled by Jiang Yan.

Just like the conversation between his inner demon and himself earlier.

【Teyvat is merely a world bubble about to be devoured by the Quantum Sea—save it!】

So the formation of the Abyss truly does originate from the Quantum Sea!

Then from this it appears that Celestia, in order to prevent the invasion of the Quantum Sea, destroyed any nation that came into contact with forbidden knowledge and the power of the Abyss.

Jiang Yan finally understood why so many underground ancient nations had been destroyed.

The underground ancient nation beneath the Chasm, Khaenri'ah—all the same.

And this Lord of the Abyss should be a being born after the Quantum Sea corroded Teyvat.

And its purpose is to assist the Quantum Sea in devouring Teyvat!

But why doesn't the Quantum Sea simply devour Teyvat directly, instead creating the Abyss to thoroughly destroy Teyvat before devouring it?

Jiang Yan had resolved his confusion, but at the same time, new questions rose within his heart.

He suddenly felt that things were perhaps not that simple.

Just then, after boiling continuously, the pool suddenly exploded.

Countless pitch-black liquids surged out from the pool, almost in an instant drowning the entire Abyss City and continuously expanding outward.

This was no ordinary liquid!

With the Space Stone protecting him, Jiang Yan could see with perfect clarity exactly what this liquid that had submerged his lower body was!

Possessing vector manipulation, he could clearly observe the flow of those tiny arrows within the pitch-black liquid.

Strictly speaking, this liquid was a very special kind of energy.

But this energy was extremely mixed and utterly turbid.

Is this the Quantum Sea?

No, it isn't!

Although the Quantum Sea sounds like a vast ocean, that is merely a figurative metaphor.
