Chapter 177 The Memory of the Layered Rock Sky Nail (still available at noon)

Layered rock abyss, underground mining area,

The passage was deep and dark, and the walls were covered with moss and spider webs, making it look particularly eerie.

An exploration team composed of the Thousand Rocks Army and the Fatui is advancing with difficulty.
The team members had calm expressions. Although the torches in their hands could only barely illuminate the road ahead, they did not show any signs of uneasiness.

Whether it is the Fatui or the Thousand Rocks, those who are sent to explore this place must be true elites.

Darkness... This level of negative environment cannot break their hearts.

The exploration team advanced cautiously, holding various tools such as chisels and hammers in their hands, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

During the time they explored the underground area of ​​the Chasm, they also accumulated a lot of experience.

Because of the mutation, the mining area here has become very unstable, and collapses occur from time to time.

There are tools such as steel chisels and hammers that can help them open the passage.

Sometimes strange noises could be heard in the dark passage. Whenever these noises occurred, the team would stop and look around.

But most of the time, it's a false alarm.

“Is this the location we reached last time?”

The leader of the Qianyan Army suddenly said,

He looked at the rock walls around him and had a familiar feeling.

Next to him, a lieutenant of the Fatui also looked around and said, "It seems so, but the last time we came here, this place should have been covered with silt."

The exploration team cannot just keep going down, they still need to record the various changes in the mine.
Among them, the areas covered with silt are the ones that need special attention.

Therefore, they have a very deep impression of places with silt, and even if the silt has disappeared now, they can still recognize it.

"The silt actually disappeared? Has another team come here with Lumen Stone?" someone asked in confusion.

"Impossible. There aren't many Lumen Stones to begin with. They are only allocated to the exploration team at the front. We don't have any here at all." The captain of the Qianyan Army shook his head and looked around. "Everyone, be alert. Search everywhere to see if there are any clues."

Suddenly, the Thousand Rocks Army and the Fatui dispersed.

They worked in groups of three or three and began to search around in perfect harmony.

Soon, new discoveries were made.

"Captain, there are footprints here."

The one who shouted was a soldier of the Fatui.

"Okay, I'll come and take a look."

The one who responded was the captain of the Qianyan Army.

Beneath the Stonehenge, the Thousand Rocks and the Fatui live in harmony.

Both parties feel that the other is a trustworthy partner.

Arriving next to the Fatui soldier, Captain Qianyan looked at the footprints he was pointing to.

Looking at the footprints, Captain Qianyan frowned slightly.

"How is it? Did you find anything?" The lieutenant of the Fatui also came over and asked.

The captain of the Qianyan Army shook his head: "All we can tell is that it was a male's footprint. The other data cannot tell. It must be a master."

An experienced investigator can learn a lot of information from footprints.

The captain of the Qianyan Army can naturally do it too.

But... the person who left footprints was not an ordinary person.

The footprints are very shallow, which normally means the opponent is not heavy, but the footprints are not small, which means the opponent is not small, which conflicts with the previous point.

Therefore, either the other party left the footprints on purpose, or he was an expert who could walk on snow without leaving any traces, and he just left the footprints carelessly.

"A mysterious man cleaned up the silt here."

In the end, Captain Qianyan could only come to this conclusion.

"Then let's continue moving forward?" asked the lieutenant of the Fatui?

The captain of the Qianyan Army nodded and said, "Let's keep going forward. We can explore the front as well."

"Okay, it's up to you."

The scattered Thousand Rocks Army and Fatui gathered again and continued forward along the passage.

the other side,
Wang Hao cleared the silt while going deeper. At this time, he had reached a water area.

[Keep going into the water and you will reach the fluorescent narrow passage. Go deeper and you will reach the location of the sky nail. ]

[Although the terrain is much larger in reality, the main distribution should remain unchanged. ]

[I remember there are still some relics of Kanreya here.]

[Yes, there are Black Snake Knights and Ruin Serpents. ]

[By the way, has Wang Hao become stronger after all this devouring? ]

【…】

Looking at the question of barrage,
Wang Hao shook his head slightly and answered in his heart: "It has not become stronger. It looks like a large amount, but the truly useful things are very small."

There is indeed a lot of silt here, and it smells like food.
But Wang Hao swallowed it all the way and found that it was really useless.

Although these muds have the smell of food, they are like the aroma wafting from meals.

If you smell it, you can smell it, but it is definitely not filling.

[Then why did you swallow so much? ]

The barrage questioned.

Wang Hao smiled and said, "Although it's not filling, it's edible. We can't waste food."

Just chatting,

Team No. 3 who went to explore the way came back, holding the blue ore in their hands.

Fragments of Lumen Stone, used to protect themselves from being contaminated by silt.

They picked up some along the way.

"How is it? What's the situation ahead?" Wang Hao asked.

There were traces of battle on No. 3's body. It was obvious that things were not peaceful ahead. "Some hill people have been cleared out. The waterway is very long, but the water flow is not stagnant and is very stable. We can continue to move forward. There should be an exit."

"Okay, let's keep moving forward." Wang Hao stood up and prepared to continue.

suddenly,

There was a vibration.

Some gravel on the ground was shaking, indicating that a giant beast was approaching.

Team No. 3 drew their short blades one by one and surrounded Wang Hao in the center.

Although she knew that she might not be able to protect Wang Hao, she might still need Wang Hao to protect them.

But they still subconsciously protected Wang Hao in the center.

next moment,
A huge mechanical creature broke out from the ground.

The mechanical creation exudes the smell of oil and metal, giving people a strong sense of mechanical and retro. The gear structure of the "head" emits a faint light, which is particularly conspicuous in the dark underground.

【Giant Ruins Snake.】

[The giant engineering self-regulatory agency left by Kanreya. ]

【Hit it and it will drop materials. 】

【…】

Wang Hao didn't even need to say anything, the barrage of comments directly revealed the identity of this mechanical behemoth.

"The Ruins Serpent."

Wang Hao looked at the other person with some curiosity in his eyes.

He was very interested in this mechanical behemoth.

The machines left behind by Kanriya are at least five hundred years old.

How does this thing keep running?
Self-regulatory bodies, what is the core of their operations?
Also, can this thing be tamed?

Such a large mechanical device would be extremely convenient if it could be used to cultivate farmland and dig canals.

Yes, the moment Wang Hao saw this thing, he thought about how to convert it for civilian use.

As the comments also said, this thing is Kanreya's engineering machinery.

If possible, it would be the same if I used it for Liyue.

"You guys stand back, I'll play with it."

Wang Hao said something to Team No. 3, then stepped forward.

Number Three immediately led his men to retreat.
No one knows how terrifying Wang Hao is better than her.

She had watched Wang Hao grow up little by little, so she knew that even the aftermath of a battle should not be underestimated.

After No. 3 and his companions left the battle range,

Wang Hao stretched out his hand and the Yuhua Oath appeared in his hand.

This thing has not broken down for more than 500 years. It is no longer an ordinary enemy, so we still need to take it seriously.

He stepped forward and stabbed the giant snake's head with the spear in his hand.

The giant snake of the ruins was moving at an incredible speed, and was about to charge towards the spear.
There are many wear marks on the huge gear head, but none of them are deep.

For five hundred years, it has been rampant in this mining area, and nothing has been able to stop its impact.

"boom."

A crisp sound,
A very abnormal scene appeared.
The little man holding the spear actually shot the huge ruins snake away with one shot.

Then he continued to move, leaped forward, and thrust his spear diagonally towards the belly of the giant snake.

The giant relic snake raised its head, as if it sensed a fatal threat, and its entire body suddenly twisted and quickly dodged.

Although it is a mechanical creation, the intelligence of its self-discipline core is very high and it can clearly judge that Wang Hao is stronger than it.

It swung its tail and dove to the ground, trying to escape.

"It can even escape. It looks like it has really become a spirit."

Wang Hao twitched the corner of his mouth and became more interested in this giant relic snake.

He swung the spear and stabbed it into the ground, then took a step forward and rushed to the giant relic snake.

At this time, half of the body of the giant relic snake had already entered the ground.

He reached out with his arms and held the gear head of the Ruin Serpent tightly.
He pushed hard with his feet, and the ground beneath his feet suddenly felt like it had been hit hard, and cracks spread.

The giant snake that had been burrowing into the ground to escape suddenly tensed up, and the gears in motion made a clicking sound.

Wang Hao hugged his arms, exerted strength on his waist and legs, and retreated little by little.
The giant snake of the ruins made a sharp mechanical sound and tried frantically to shake off Wang Hao, but... there was no effect.

With dragon-like power, it was pulled out of the ground bit by bit.

If the Ruin Serpent were a real creature, it would be roaring in terror by now.

But it is a mechanical creature, and it can only run its own driving core frantically in an attempt to escape from Wang Hao's control.

far away,

Watching Wang Hao wrestling with the giant mechanical snake.

Team Three was silent.

This adult in my family is really... becoming less and less like a human.

What kind of good person plays like this?

And in Wang Hao's eyes, the barrage was boiling.

[What a Lin Daiyu who uproots a weeping willow tree. ]

【Wang Hao can't be considered Lin Daiyu. 】

[Who made Wang Hao look like a pretty boy? ]

[In this situation, the Ruins Snake is like a weak little girl being bullied by Wang Hao.]

[Please don't make such associations. I can't bear it.]

【…】

Wang Hao ignored the comments in the barrage, stepped back step by step, and pulled out the giant relic snake.

Perhaps he felt that escape was impossible.
The giant relic snake suddenly turned around and pounced towards Wang Hao with its drill head and tail.

"Well done."

Wang Hao chuckled.

With a powerful swing of his hands, the giant relic snake that had turned around and attacked was thrown out uncontrollably.
With a flash of his body, Wang Hao appeared beside it. The elemental power condensed on his hands, turning into elemental palms that firmly grasped the tail of the relic snake.

Friends who often play with snakes know that the best way to deal with creatures like snakes is to hit them at the seven-inch point, which is the heart of the snake.

Apart from this, the best way is to grab the snake's tail and shake it hard.

The snake's body structure will cause it to be pulled straight by centrifugal force.
If you swing it and smash it to the ground at the same time, the snake will fall to the ground in a few seconds.

And now, Wang Hao is doing just that.

Under the terrifying force, the giant relic snake was thrown high up like a noodle, and then fell heavily to the ground with a loud bang.

Without waiting for it to react, Wang Hao threw it up again and smashed it to the ground again.
After repeating this process dozens of times, the surrounding land was devastated and no longer resembled its previous appearance.

Mechanical sparks were also bursting out from the giant relic snake, and it looked like it had been broken.

He casually threw the giant mechanical snake to the ground.
The huge mechanical body twitched slightly.

Just as the comment said, it looks like a poor child being abused.

Wang Hao stretched his body, then walked to the giant snake.

The mechanical structure of this giant beast was seriously damaged.

The wear and tear caused by five hundred years was not as serious as the blow from Wang Hao.

"Let me see what's wrong with you."

Wang Hao held the struggling head of the relic snake with one hand while observing the structure of this mechanical behemoth.

Its tail is actually the real drill bit, so when it was drilling into the ground just now, Wang Hao grabbed its gear head.

The gear head contains the true core of the Ruin Serpent.

The autonomous core is the underlying program that enables the Canreya Mechanism to act autonomously.

If we put it in the language of barrage, it can probably be called 'AI intelligence'.

In addition to the autonomous core, the gear structure on the giant snake is also very interesting.

There are a large number of runes engraved on each gear. These runes may be the reason why it can last for more than 500 years without being damaged.

In the gear structure, you can vaguely see some golden drive devices, which are the energy supply system of the Ruins Snake.

The structure of this mechanical behemoth is actually very simple.

The autonomous core in the head, the rune gears in the body, and the drive devices all over the body.

These three devices make up this behemoth.

But if you really ask others to do it, they really can't do it.

A core of self-discipline is not something that everyone can create.

Kanreya's technology does have a generational advantage over contemporary civilizations.

"If I take this thing away, will it affect the so-called plot?" Wang Hao asked in his heart.

[It should have an impact, right? Ying was fighting it, and then Ye Lan shot down the Sky Nail. ]

[It's not a big impact. The power of fate will definitely correct it.]

[Boring, I want to see a river of blood. ]

【Take it away, it's so fun to destroy fate. 】

[Yes, yes, take it away. ]

【Take it away, take it away. 】

【…】

Except for one or two comments that are serious discussions, the rest are just for fun and are not afraid of causing trouble.

Wang Hao hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, take it away."

It would definitely be impossible to take the entire relic snake away. It was too big, and Wang Hao did not have the space to store the treasure.

I heard from the comments that there is a thing called Chen Ge Hu. Maybe I can find a way to make one later.

But now, Wang Hao can only dismantle the giant relic snake.

First of all, the core of self-discipline is the most important thing that must be taken away.
Then there were the rune gears, which I also dismantled and took away.
Then take a few of the energy drive cores with you.

Soon.

The giant snake ruins on the ground were torn into pieces by Wang Hao.

"Number Three, take these."

He handed over the dismantled items to Team No. 3 who returned to him.

Then he continued: "Rest for a while, and then we will continue our journey."

Number Three put away the parts and nodded silently.

the other side,
The exploration team continued to advance along the footprints, looking at their companions around them in confusion.

"Was it...an earthquake just now?"

One of the Fatui asked with a hint of shock.

Just now they came here following the clues, but before they could move forward, they felt the ground shaking.

This feeling was not the first time they had felt this way. They had also felt it when they were exploring before.

So everyone began to deal with the possible collapse very professionally.

But they did not wait for collapse, instead, they waited for a different feeling of vibration.

The original vibration is a continuous, steady vibration.

The vibrations just now came in waves, and were accompanied by a dull sound.

"It's not an earthquake. This noise is a bit like... a battle."

The captain of the Qianyan Army had a serious look on his face.

"Well, the battle between giants. I've seen two giant dragon beasts fighting, and it made this kind of dull sound." The lieutenant of the Fatui also said.

"Do you want to continue moving forward? It might be dangerous." The captain of the Qianyan Army looked at the lieutenant of the Fatui.

The Fatui lieutenant nodded: "I want to keep moving forward."

"Haha, it seems we think the same, then let's keep going. This exploration should yield some different gains." Captain Qianyan laughed, then waved to the soldiers behind him, "Take a break, and then keep going."

It's so wonderful.

When they were resting, Wang Hao was also resting. When they were preparing to set off, Wang Hao set off again.

Follow the waterway and move forward.

The dark and humid environment really makes people uncomfortable.

This kind of claustrophobic environment is also a torture to a person's heart.

Of course, for Wang Hao, this place is actually not bad. At least he has Team No. 3 to accompany him, so he is not lonely.

The only downside is that below the abyss, the concept of time will gradually become blurred as time goes by.

This is a common problem in confined environments.

We kept on moving forward, and finally after who knows how long, we saw a fluorescent area.

Finally arrived at the fluorescent narrow road.

A large number of spore life forms live here, and the surroundings are very beautiful.

The smell of pollution and mutation that had been present in the mining area before did not appear here.

"Outsider? Outsider, please come this way."

A long voice sounded in Wang Hao's ears.

"Is there anyone here?"

Wang Hao's expression froze, and Team No. 3 also became alert.

[It’s a big mushroom! ]

[Oh, I almost forgot about this mushroom. ]

What is it called?

[The mushroom spores that fell from Mount Xumi gradually grew into a mushroom, so let's call it Zanmaran.] [The big mushroom is a mushroom spirit, and the tree king is a plant spirit. The big mushroom can talk, and the tree king can talk too. The name Zanmaran was given to him by his friend from Mount Xumi. So the big mushroom is the cousin of the tree king.]

【God’s cousin.】

[Yes, Zanmaran, the giant glowing mushroom. I thought it had a very important role, but in the end... it had nothing.]

[That's in the game. In reality, this big mushroom can suppress the spread of pollution.]

[Glowing mushrooms are definitely good for making soup. ]

[It will be poisonous. ]

[How is that possible? Unless it is not cooked. ]

【…】

The barrage flashed by, and Wang Hao's eyes flashed slightly.

"Let's go over and have a look."

Following the direction of the sound, Wang Hao continued forward.
Sure enough, not far away, a huge mushroom stood in the center area, illuminating the surroundings.

"Outsider, please come closer."

When Wang Hao approached, the big mushroom was obviously happier.

"That's great, I thought there was no one here anymore."

Its tone was filled with joy.

"who are you?"

Although he knew its name from the barrage, Wang Hao still asked.

"Zanmalan, I am Zanmalan." Big Mushroom replied, and the name was the same as what was said in the barrage.

"what are you?"

"Zanmaran is not a thing, Zanmaran is a mushroom." The big mushroom seemed dissatisfied with Wang Hao's use of the word "thing" to describe it.

"Okay, you asked me to come over, what's the problem?"

"Outsider, Zanmaran needs help." The big mushroom didn't seem to bear grudges. When Wang Hao changed the subject, it forgot to be angry. "More and more evil spirits are spreading. Zanmaran needs your help to clear them."

Wang Hao tilted his head.
Do we know each other well?
You want my help as soon as we meet?
I didn't dye my hair yellow.

"Sorry, I still have things to do."

Wang Hao decisively refused and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, outsider, Zanmaran will give you a reward. Xumi's friends said that if someone helps you, you should give them a reward."

Seeing Wang Hao was about to leave, the big mushroom shouted hurriedly. Some fluorescent light scattered from the huge cap, and it was obvious that it was really anxious.

There are benefits!
Wang Hao paused. This was not just helping. He could just listen.

"tell me the story."

Wang Hao acted as if he was going to leave the next moment, "If it's too much trouble, I won't do it."

He also needs to hurry to Tianding to see if he can have something good to eat.

"Don't bother, don't bother. Zanmaran needs energy. Only with energy can Zanmaran resist the erosion of evil spirits."

The big mushroom swayed with fluorescent hyphae hanging from the top.

"You have it as an outsider. Please give Zanmaran energy and Zanmaran will reward you."

"My energy?"

Wang Hao was a little confused, then he stretched out his hand, and water and fire intertwined, "You mean elemental power?"

"No, no, it's a purer power, a more noble power." The big mushroom shook anxiously, and the fluorescent mycelium swaying was quite beautiful.

"A purer, nobler power..."

Wang Hao frowned slightly.

Is there any power in me that is purer and nobler than elemental force?

Then there is only one answer.

One of his greatest secrets, the gilded power of authority.

Only this power can be said to be purer and nobler than elemental power.

嗏

This mushroom can actually feel that it has this power?

Even the Emperor did not see through Wang Hao's power, he just felt that Wang Hao possessed a very high status.

For a moment, Wang Hao's eyes were filled with chill.

Tonight, how about grilled mushrooms and mushroom soup.

"Hey! Hey? Outsider, what do you want to do?" The big mushroom sensed something was wrong and shouted in fear.

"Tell me, how did you discover my power?"

The dark blue elemental spear condensed in Wang Hao's hand, and a hint of murderous intent spread.

The gilded power was one of his greatest secrets, and it was absolutely not allowed to be revealed until he had completely repaired and perfected it.

"What power? Zanmalan doesn't know?" the big mushroom shouted in horror.

"Didn't you say a more noble and pure power?"

"Yes, it's the power of Pure Light, it's in your shadow." shouted the Big Mushroom.

Wang Hao paused and looked at his own shadow.

Number Three emerged, holding a blue shard in his hand.

Wang Hao reached out and took it: "You mean, this thing?"

Wang Hao was not afraid of contamination as he walked along the way with the fragments of lumen stone, but it still had some impact on Team No. 3, so he collected some along the way and gave them to the team for use.

"Yes, the power of pure light can help Zanmaran resist the invasion of evil spirits." Big Mushroom said quickly.

A misunderstanding.

[Hahahahahaha. 】

[Zanmalan was almost scared to death. ]

[Wang Hao must have wanted to kill Zanmaran just now. ]

【It’s fun, it’s fun. 】

In Wang Hao's eyes, the barrage of comments was full of laughter.

They probably knew what Zanmaran wanted, but they didn't remind Wang Hao.

In today's barrage, people who like to have fun seem to be the mainstream.

This is what barrages are like, a large amount of information gathered together, some barrages are for Wang Hao's own good, and some barrages will give Wang Hao a whole life.

Wang Hao has become accustomed to this.

This situation also allows him not to over-trust the barrage.
Being independent is still very important.

Seeing that it was a misunderstanding, Wang Hao also dispersed the elemental spear in his hand.

"What are you going to give in exchange for Lumen Stone?"

The danger was over, and the big mushroom started to be happy again: "Zanmaran has a treasure, and Zanmaran can give you the "blessing of talent and wisdom."

"A blessing of talent and wisdom"?
Wang Hao was a little curious. What was this thing?
Then I saw a fluorescent mycelium of the big mushroom hanging down.
A little blue drop of water appeared.

“This is the blessing of talent and wisdom.”

Big Mushroom said proudly.

Wang Hao took a look at this thing...it seemed to be something formed by some kind of energy combined with a large number of spores.

"What's its use?" Wang Hao asked.

The big mushroom was silent for a long time before it said, "'Talent and Wisdom' can remove pollution. Just purify the evil energy first, then drop a little on the place where the evil energy is leaking, and mushrooms will grow to stop the evil energy from spreading."

It sounds like it is of no use to Wang Hao.

However, Wang Hao's eyes lit up. This was a good thing.

It is indeed useless to him, but to Liyue, this thing is a treasure.

The reason why the abyss is closed is that silt pollution is endless.

As the comments just said, the evil spirit in the big mushroom's mouth is actually silt pollution.

If there is this "blessing of talent and wisdom", does it mean that ordinary Qianyan soldiers can also control pollution?

Thinking of this, Wang Hao nodded to No. 3.
Number Three stepped forward, took out a bottle, and took the "Auspicious Blessing of Talent and Wisdom".

Then, Wang Hao threw the lumen stone fragments at the roots of the big mushroom.

next moment,
The already blue mushroom became even brighter.

Its brightness suddenly increased by several levels.

"This...energy is no longer conserved."

The lumen stone fragment that Wang Hao gave to the big mushroom and the light that burst out from the big mushroom were completely not of the same order of magnitude.

It's like adding a little fuel, but it burns out a hundred points of effect.

"This thing probably still has some secrets." Wang Hao murmured in his heart.

However, he did not have the intention to kill again.
This big mushroom is still very innocent. Putting it here can also curb the spread of pollution. There is no need to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

"Zanmaran is so comfortable. Zanmaran is going to sleep. Goodbye, outsider."

The giant mushroom fell into a deep sleep.

It really had no intentions. Wang Hao had shown murderous intent before, but it just fell asleep like that.

After staring at the giant mushroom for a while,
"This guy is really naive. He should be harmless. Just give everything to him." Wang Hao shook his head and said to No. 3.

Number Three nodded and took another piece of Lumen Stone fragment from another assassin.

Yes, during the transaction, Wang Hao only gave one piece.

All I can say is that naive mushrooms are no match for cunning humans.

Now that it has been confirmed that this mushroom is harmless, Wang Hao will not withhold this amount of lumen stones from it.

Number Three stepped forward and placed the Lumen Stone fragment back at the root of the mushroom.

After the payment and goods are settled,
Wang Hao and others continued on their journey.

Leaving the glowing mushroom, we headed deeper into the cave. In the narrow fluorescent path, there were many glowing mushrooms, and the atmosphere was much better.

It's the purple-red ground that gives people an ominous feeling.

I don't know how long I walked.

The purple-red color on the ground gradually faded.

The soft fungal blanket was replaced by hard black stones.
A pure and noble power began to appear in Wang Hao's perception.

A sky-blue light shines from afar.

Keep going,
Above the huge circular crater, a sky spike released its own light.

If the sky nail on the snow mountain brings coldness.

So, the sky nail here gave Wang Hao a feeling of transparency.

It seemed that all the negative, dirty, and bad things disappeared in the light of the Heavenly Nail.

[No one knows when this sky nail descended. ]

[It should be earlier than the Kanria disaster. 】

[It should be. Otherwise, the people of Liyue would have recorded the scene of the sky nails falling, and Fushe's assistance in the battle against the Qianyan Army would have been recorded. ]

[That means that the Sky Nail is already here before the disaster breaks out, right?]

[It is the normal operation of Heaven. He has already patched the bug before it even appears.]

[The sky spikes on the snowy mountain suppressed Du Lin, and the sky spikes here also helped the Qianyan Army resist the dark disaster. ]

【From this perspective, Tianli seems to be a good person. 】

【This is because Heavenly Principle wants to maintain the new order of the Seventh. It is for the sake of maintaining the rule, not for the sake of the people.】

[Although the result is good, the starting point is bad? ]

[It is hard to say whether the law of nature is good or bad. ]

[Anyway, one thing is certain, Heaven does not want the current order to be disrupted.]

【…】

Looking at the Sky Nail that appeared not far away, the barrage in Wang Hao's eyes also became lively.

In fact, Wang Hao's mission is almost over here.
You can also get away with it by sorting out what you have seen and heard along the way and then going back to submit a report to Ningguang.

But, we're here now, right?

"Wait here for me, I'll go over and take a look."

He gave an order to Team 3.
Wang Hao leaped forward and after a few leaps, he was close to the Sky Nail.

In the circular pit here, there are a large number of stone pillars standing, providing a foothold for Wang Hao.

As Wang Hao approached,
The sky nail suspended in the air trembled slightly.

Wang Hao was all too familiar with this kind of reaction.

When he approached the Frost Sky Nail on the top of the snowy mountain, the Frost Sky Nail had the same reaction.

So, Wang Hao didn't hesitate and jumped over directly to the place closest to the sky nail.

This place is still some distance away from the Sky Nail, but it’s okay. Steam surges behind Wang Hao.

Steam rocket flight, start.

He has always wanted to learn how to fly and has made many attempts.
There is no way to fly for a long time, but it is still possible to use steam power to propel yourself into the air for a short period of time.

He flew to Tianding, stretched out his hand and touched Tianding.

The next moment, like a nail in the sky of cold air, a sky blue light flew out from the nail and sank into Wang Hao's brows.

Then, unfamiliar memories began to emerge.

The familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared in his memory again.

It was the 'Great One' I saw last time.
-
The dividing line of memory——
"The order of heaven has become increasingly unstable, and a new order needs to be established as soon as possible."

The voice of the 'Great One' was still majestic, but it revealed a hint of weakness and fatigue.

As great as He is, He gives people a feeling of being shaky.

"The three moons have all fallen, and the messenger clan has also been destroyed by you..."

A gentle female voice sounded, He hesitated to speak, and finally did not say anything to complain, but just said softly,
"My power is running low, Your Majesty. The new order requires new defenders."

The Great One seemed to look up at the gentle god before him, and then spoke:

"Things that are out of order need no mercy."

"There will be new protectors. The previous war caused my body to disintegrate and evolve into countless divine beings."

"They will also inherit the law of love."

"Some of them will be the best defenders of the new order."

The Great One spoke slowly, and a sky nail appeared behind Him.

"Once again, fate reflects the future. Another anomaly needs to be repaired."

"Where is it?" asked a gentle female voice.

The Great One's gaze fell from the unknown sky onto the ancient rock abyss: "That's it."

"...Over there, there is only a civilization of sacrificial rituals." The gentle female voice sounded a little anxious.

The Great One shook his head slowly: "For the sake of the new order, let the old existence perish."

"Does it have to be like this? Last time it was Findenir, and this time it's the Jade Tribe. Are the humans we have guided for countless epochs so insignificant in front of your grand plan for order?"

The gentle female voice seemed a little sad.

"In the first era, we gave humans everything they wanted, but the price was that their wishes no longer arose. Later, we failed.

In the age of sacrifice, I sent you to guide mankind, hoping that their wishes would not be exceeded, but even my messengers...

Now, human desires have expanded infinitely, and I am no longer able to respond to their prayers to the sky.

My shadow, when we were unable to respond to their requests, the era of sacrifice was doomed to end, and neither you nor I could save it.

Rather than letting them perish in obscurity or even become destroyers of order, it is better to let them become the cornerstone of a new era."

Silence, a very long silence.

"I understand."

There was an unconcealable fatigue in the last gentle female voice.

He is... tired.

Then the memory fluctuated slightly and became blurred.
Immediately afterwards, sky nails fell from the sky, almost destroying all civilizations here, but a small number of humans escaped from here, and a small number of people continued to stay.

As for Tianding, he lay dormant deep underground, waiting for his mission to come.

I don’t know how long has passed,

Somewhere deep underground, it intersects with the source of the taboo.
The pollution from the deepest abyss, the pollution of forbidden knowledge, began to spread.
At the same time, countless monsters surged out, and the dark beast tide almost filled the huge rock abyss.

There were countless shouts and cries of killing coming from the outside world.
It seems that there are unyielding people guarding their homes.

The new order desired by the 'Great One' is proving itself.

At this moment, the Sky Nail gradually recovered.
Before this disaster occurred, thousands of years ago, its master, the Great One, had already predicted this disaster.
Thus, the activated Sky Nail began to fulfill its responsibilities.

It began to unleash its full power.

This is a pure light energy.

Although it is impossible to directly eliminate the forbidden pollution, it can neutralize its horrific infectious ability.

The sky-blue power spread in the underground space, continuously neutralizing the dark power.

In the outside world, the dark disaster whose retreat was cut off by Tianding was also running out of steam and began to be pushed back by the heroes who were protecting their homeland.

The last thing Tianding remembered was the four-armed strong man leading the elite Thousand Rocks Army and several people dressed as alchemists, rushing into the deeper part of the Layered Rock Abyss.

That is where the forbidden pollution comes from.

And then... they never came back.

And the taboo pollution gradually subsided.

Then, time came to the present.
Some sneaky guys came here and continued to do some tricks.
-
The dividing line of memory——
Coming back to his senses from Tianding's memory,
There was a hint of moisture in the corners of Wang Hao's eyes.

For some reason, he had no feeling at all about the previous memories.

But watching the four-armed strong man leading the elite soldiers of the Thousand Rock Army and several alchemists rushing deeper into the Layered Rock Abyss,
Wang Hao couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart.

The throbbing from the same civilization deeply affected his emotions.

After a moment of silence, Wang Hao wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes.

"A four-armed man has come from the Stoney Abyss. Do you know who he is?"

Wang Hao asked in his heart.

【Four-armed Yaksha? Fushe.】

【Woo woo woo, Brother Fushe. 】

【Life is short, and everything is abandoned. 】

[Fushe is Lei Yaksha, one of the five Yaksha generals in Liyue. He is also the one with the highest status among the five Yakshas and is the eldest brother. ]

【Teng Snake Grand Marshal · Floating House.】

【…】

Sure enough, the barrage gave the answer immediately.

Marshal Teng Snake, General Yaksha, and Fushe.

Wang Hao recalled the resolute expression of the four-armed strong man in his memory.
Neither the Yaksha general nor the heroes who followed him wavered at all when they entered the depths of the rocky abyss.

"With such great predecessors, how can we forget our ambitions and dare not promote the lights of all the families in Liyue?"

"If we can't let all the people of Liyue live a good life, how can we justify this sacrifice?"

"The ancestors should not be forgotten. I will pass on your stories."

After thinking for a long time, Wang Hao fell from mid-air.

Back on the ground, he glanced around the corners and sneered.
