Chapter 294

"In the process of research, I had a thought: if you were to have offspring with an elf of this world, what kind of offspring would be born?"

"And would this offspring be able to inherit the abilities you possess?"

"So, this is why I gave birth to Klee."

Jiang Yan listened to Alice's explanation very seriously.

So that was it.

He was just saying, how could Alice have given birth to a child for him for no reason.

"So you mean, you used a child as your test subject?"

Jiang Yan's tone was like a knife, very sharp.

It pierced straight into Alice's heart.

However, Jiang Yan regretted it after saying this.

After all, for a mother, these words were undoubtedly the most insulting!

But Jiang Yan was also testing her.

He wanted to know what kind of attitude Alice had towards Klee.

After all, if Alice didn't care about Klee, Jiang Yan wouldn't need to be polite to Alice.

"No! Klee is not my test subject!"

Alice said angrily to Jiang Yan.

"Klee is my daughter whom I carried for several years before giving birth to. Perhaps at first I had the idea of an experiment, but after I gave birth to Klee, I didn't have that thought anymore!"

"Whether you believe it or not, I will stick to this statement!"

Jiang Yan nodded; Alice wasn't lying about this.

After all, his Mind Stone wasn't just for show; if Alice were just saying these words for show, his Mind Stone would have issued a warning.

Whether in the plot or now, Alice cared for Klee very much.

After all, who would be willing to use an entire island to let a child have a happy summer?

"Alright, I believe you on this point."

Jiang Yan nodded; now that the matter was mostly asked, Jiang Yan naturally wouldn't continue to question Alice about other things.

It was enough for him to resolve his own doubts.

Just at this moment, the world barrier suddenly began to tremble violently.

Alice's expression changed suddenly, and even Jiang Yan's face was solemn, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Alice hurried to the side of the world barrier and placed her hands on it.

Faint fiery-red light kept lighting up on the world tree barrier.

Before long, the trembling of the world barrier began to disappear gradually, finally returning to calm.

Seeing this, Alice breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's the situation? What was that just now?"

Jiang Yan came to Alice's side, his face carrying a hint of solemnity.

"That is the Sea of Quanta."

Alice sighed and said to Jiang Yan.

"I think, with your strength, you have also learned about some things in the Teyvat world, right?"

"Mm, I know a little bit."

Jiang Yan nodded and said to Alice.

"Mm, then it's much easier to explain."

Alice looked at the black river constantly surging and hitting the world barrier outside and said faintly.

"Ten thousand years ago, after winning the Throne War, the Heavenly Principles used the Nail of Cold Sky to repair the continent and then fixed the Teyvat continent to the roots of the Imaginary Tree through anchors."

"Only then was Teyvat prevented from completely sinking into the Sea of Quanta and losing the energy to maintain itself."

Jiang Yan listened to Alice's explanation and nodded as well.

"So that's how it is..."

"But even so, the Sea of Quanta has not given up on devouring the Teyvat continent."

Alice continued to say to Jiang Yan.

"Do you see that black river?"

Alice pointed to the pitch-black river outside the world barrier.

Jiang Yan nodded and said to Alice:

"I have seen this."

"You have seen it?!"

Alice said with a look of astonishment.

"Where did you see it?!"

You must know that the pitch-black river in front of them is a product of the Sea of Quanta; unless Jiang Yan had been outside the Teyvat world, if Jiang Yan had seen this kind of black river inside the Teyvat world, that would be terrible.

That would prove that the black river had already begun to invade the Teyvat world through other places.

"Mm, I have indeed seen it."

After Jiang Yan carefully confirmed it, he finally confirmed it.

It was the black river he saw when he was in the Abyss.

Afterwards, Jiang Yan carefully described to Alice the scene he encountered in the Abyss.

Through the tide-drawing ritual to let the Abyss crowd evolve and grow, as well as his battle with the Lord of the Abyss that caused the river to pour into the Abyss.

After listening, Alice fell into silence.

Regarding this situation, Alice had indeed not thought of it either.

If this was the case, then it proved that the Abyss was not just as simple as overthrowing the Heavenly Principles.

Those should all be products condensed from the black river evolved from the Sea of Quanta and the black mist floating on the black river.

The real purpose of these things was to let the entire Teyvat continent fall into the Sea of Quanta and eventually be devoured by the Sea of Quanta!

This is the method of the Sea of Quanta, the method that requires the least effort to deal with a small world.

Jiang Yan knew that Alice knew it now too.

"Then what should be done?"

Alice suddenly became a bit dejected.

For so many years, she had been accepting the call of the Heavenly Principles and guarding the borders of Teyvat.

But at this moment, the thing she had been trying her best to resist had already appeared in the Teyvat world!

This made Alice feel very failed.

"The Lord of the Abyss, I fought with him for over two thousand years, only to beat him to the point where he couldn't restore his form."

Jiang Yan said to Alice.

"Because of this, I also slept for a full five hundred years."

"However, I now have a deeper understanding of my power."

Jiang Yan raised his hand to look at the five Infinity Stones on the back of his hand and said faintly.

"As long as I find a way to make Teyvat completely unable to sink into the Sea of Quanta, the Lord of the Abyss will have no need to exist."

That's right, Jiang Yan had the power to kill the Lord of the Abyss.

All of this was the power he learned during these five hundred years by constantly studying the Infinity Stones in his hands.

Twenty years ago, during the Blackcliff Forge incident, Jiang Yan met the Lord of the Abyss.

However, whether it was then or now, Jiang Yan had no intention of obliterating the Lord of the Abyss.

Since he could obliterate the other party at any time, he would keep this object for now.

In case he obliterated the Lord of the Abyss, and then a Sea of Quanta entity that was even harder to obliterate came, then Jiang Yan would have to find a way to obliterate it again.

Instead of that, it was better to keep the Lord of the Abyss.

After he found a way to let the Teyvat continent completely get rid of the Sea of Quanta, he would solve it once and for all.

In that case, he could live comfortably in the Teyvat continent with the people around him!

"You mean, you can kill the Lord of the Abyss directly now?"

Alice looked at Jiang Yan.

"You could say that, it wouldn't be wrong."
