After landing from a cliff again, the surrounding scene suddenly changed.
The surroundings are no longer just cold and hard stones, but have a little more life.
The underground river flows freely, with mushrooms of different shapes and sizes growing on both sides.
Some are still shining.
In addition, there are some plants that Ouyang does not recognize, most of which are weed-like plants, but the color is also dark red like mushrooms.
They are all varieties that Ouyang has never seen before.
But Ouyang didn't pay attention to this. He kept looking at the (?) huge mushroom in the distance.
Has this guy become a sperm?
As the distance got closer, Ouyang could see more clearly.
There is a small island at the intersection of the underground rivers, and giant mushrooms grow on this small island.
The thick branches of the mushroom bear an umbrella cover as big as a house.
The whole body exudes a dim light, illuminating everything nearby.
It was only after he got closer that he discovered that although the direction felt right, the energy wave that attracted him was not it.
Judging from the energy fluctuations, it looks like a type of earth vein energy, but it is less vast and softer and deeper.
After setting foot on the island, Ouyang curiously circled around the person twice.
There were some glowing dust floating around, similar to mushroom spores, but these were blocked by the shield.
I looked at it curiously, and when I was wondering if this thing could be eaten, the mushroom suddenly spoke: "Thank you, I feel much better now."
Uh...did he really become a sperm?!
Ouyang looked around, then looked at the mushroom again, and hesitantly said: "You... can talk?!"
"Of course, Zanmaran is wise and can speak just like the two-legged ones."
"...My name is Ouyang." Ouyang rolled his eyes and then asked, "What did you thank me for just now?"
"Thank you for the light you brought. It gave me a chance to breathe."
Brilliance?
Ouyang looked at his chest in confusion, where the drop of energy of the power of the stars was located. For convenience, Ouyang kept it concentrated on his chest.
After hearing what the other party said, he refocused his energy on his fingertips and asked the other party: "Is this the glory you are talking about?"
"Of course, I didn't expect Ouyang's wisdom to be so low." Zan Malan's tone did not change, and he still said softly and peacefully, "You don't know how to shine, so naturally it is its light that helps me."
When Ouyang had a black line on his face and wanted to turn around and leave, Zan Malan spoke again: "It's weird, Zan Malan feels a familiar smell on your body."
"You know me?"
Ouyang was stunned by what the other party said. He was absolutely sure that he had never seen this big mushroom before.
Sure enough, Zan Malan denied it.
"Zan Malan doesn't know the two-legged Ouyang, but the two-legged Ouyang has a scent that Zan Malan is familiar with."
"It is the taste of blazing light and majestic vitality, a taste in long-lasting memory."
vitality?!
Are you talking about the devil?!
But before Ouyang could ask the question, Zan Malan hesitated: "But the two-legged Ouyang seems to be in trouble, which is different from what Zan Malan remembered."
Ouyang rolled his eyes again and said speechlessly: "Please turn on the microphone to communicate and say something I can understand."
"Zan Malan didn't figure it out himself. Can you give Zan Malan some time?"
"how long?"
"Just a little bit." Zan Malan replied.
Then it said again: "Zanmaran just needs your help."
help?
Ouyang frowned slightly, but still didn't have an attack. He asked first before talking.
"What do you want me to do for you?"
"This place was originally a pleasant place to live, but recently the evil has become more and more powerful. In order to resist the evil, Zan Malan has exhausted all his strength. If you can help, Zan Malan will be able to understand your questions more quickly.
.”
So, this is actually a liar?!
Ouyang looked at Zan Malan expressionlessly, said "not interested", and turned around to leave.
He was most annoyed by the blabbering Riddler.
As a result, not only did the other party not speak clearly, but they also wanted to ask him to help eliminate those abyssal forces.
dream!
He finally saw that the other party seemed to be trying to gain the power of the stars in his hand, which he couldn't accept.
It’s only one drop in total, how do you want to divide it?
Ouyang walked very resolutely and was not sloppy at all.
He opened his wings of wind and flew in the direction of the energy wave.
In his perception, he felt that he was almost there.
"Don't go!" Zan Malan's voice came from behind.
Although it was still so gentle, this time Ouyang heard the change in the other party's tone, as if he was begging.
"Zanmaran needs a helping hand, just a little bit."
Plan passes!
Ouyang stood up again with his back to the opponent, giving himself a perfect score for this little trick of playing hard to get.
Of course this was not a deliberate act for the other party to see.
His intention to leave was sincere, but he also really cared about what this Zan Malan said.
It's just that he doesn't like this way of following the opponent's rhythm, so even if he doesn't listen, he won't get used to this bad habit.
As for the consumption of star power?
After so many days, Ouyang has a deeper understanding of this.
The total amount is indeed only one drop, but the energy consumption is replenished by conduction from the sky anytime and anywhere.
Don't be afraid of consumption.
Otherwise Ouyang wouldn't use it for lighting.
You must know that in an environment filled with the power of the abyss, the consumption rate of this drop of energy is also amazing.
Ouyang returned to the mushroom and said, "You can help me, but you must first explain what you just said clearly."
"With that blazing light and majestic vitality, are you saying that I am a demon?"
"Also, what's wrong with me?"
"Finally, how do you want me to help you?"
Zanmaran was silent for a while. It was obviously unexpected to face such a situation.
Even the light emitted by the mushrooms became dim again.
"Two-footed Ouyang, you became a demon god, didn't you get guidance from the sky?"
"No." Ouyang answered doubtfully.
Is there any necessary connection between the two?
When he wanted to wait for the other party to continue to answer, he found that Zan Malan seemed to completely understand this time.
"How could this happen? Has the God King of the Sky fallen asleep?"
"I don't know? Can you explain it more clearly?"
Zanmaran remained silent for a longer time this time.
He looked at Ouyang who was taking steps again, and finally gave in helplessly.
"There are seven countries on Teyvat, which correspond to the seven energies. This is the authority of the seven gods."
"The two-legged Ouyang, now the new demon god on Teyvat, is alive, which means that the god of one of the seven countries has fallen, and the god king of the sky will guide this new demon god to become the governor of this country.
.Otherwise you should have been killed the moment you were promoted."
"The gods will not allow other demon gods to encroach on their authority."
"The fact that you can appear here means that the gods of Liyue or Xumi have fallen. Therefore, according to the normal process, the moment you are promoted, you should be blessed and gain the authority of the corresponding country. However, the two-legged Ouyang did not
.”
"Not only that, but your answer also made Zan Malan very confused. This is something beyond Zan Malan's knowledge. It seems that Zan Malan is not smart enough."
This time, Ouyang finally understood a little bit.
The mushroom babbled so much to tell him that Teyvat was now under the control of the Seven Gods, and if a new demon god appeared, it would definitely be destroyed.
If the god of a certain country dies, he will be guided to that country by the god king of the sky and become one of the new seven gods.
It was also at this moment that he finally understood why the maintainer could position him when he was promoted.
There must be some means, but the prerequisite is that he must become a demon.
But a new question arose. I had been promoted for so long, but why didn't I seem to be blocked again?
Ouyang looked at Xiang Mushroom: "Zan Malan, when I was promoted to Demon God, I was blocked by Sky Island, but I escaped."
"What a surprising news." Zanmaran's huge umbrella shook, and then asked, "But you still haven't said why you didn't obtain the authority of the Seven Gods."
Um?!
Seeing the confused Ouyang, Zan Malan continued: "No matter what it is, as long as you are promoted to the level of Demon God, you will naturally obtain one of the seven powers, which is the corresponding elemental power, but you don't have it. So you have two feet."
How did Ouyang become the devil?"
"The energy in this world is not limited to the seven elemental powers?"
"Yes, but the one who can become a demon must be the master of some kind of elemental power! No surprise!"
Ouyang nodded clearly: "So the trouble you said I encountered was that I didn't have control over the elemental power?"
After speaking, Ouyang waved his hand and scattered seven spots of light.
Light spots were scattered around the two, instantly forming seven magic circles.
He understood that what the other party meant was that it was unreasonable for him to be promoted to a demon god without mastering any elemental power, so he didn't mind demonstrating it again.
Under Ouyang's control, these magic circles evolved into seven forms of elemental power.
In an instant, various lights shone in this space.
"My energy can simulate various elemental forces. Although it is not powerful enough, at least I can't use those elements."
Zan Malan looked at the brilliance of the seven elements, his huge body shook for a while, and instantly the entire space was filled with fluorescent spores.
"What a weird two-legged one...can you help Zanmaran now?"
Looking at the increasingly dim mushrooms, Ouyang did not burn bridges and asked directly: "How do you want me to help?"
"Please give some of your glory to Zanmaran."
Do you really want the power of the stars?
Ouyang didn't care. He pulled the energy gathered between them into a thread, and then pressed one end of it against the mushroom's body.
Buzz——
The moment the silk thread touched the mushroom, the light in the entire space suddenly brightened.
Zan Malan, who was originally dim, suddenly became energetic in Ouyang's eyes.
The light emitted by the other party is also more dazzling.
laugh--
laugh--
laugh--
With the injection of star power, several sludges surged out of the surrounding ground, but these sludges were also dissolved and dissipated under the rays of light.
"Praise you Ouyang! Zan Malan has regained the glory of life!"
"This is really a magical power, even the evil spirits have been eliminated a lot!"
Zan Malan shook his body and seemed very happy.
"Is this enough?" Ouyang, who had withdrawn his energy, asked while feeling the energy transmitted from the sky to the space of the life constellation.
"That's enough, thank you Ouyang for your generosity."
Zan Malan said: "Zan Malan can no longer answer your question. Please forgive Zan Malan for not being able to understand your existence."
Of course you can't understand me, a time traveler.
Ouyang stopped staying, said "let's go", turned around and continued flying deeper.
But the moment he turned around, the relaxed expression on his face darkened.
Zan Malan said a lot, which made Ouyang think a lot.
My own path seems to be getting further and further off track.
The devil, even if he does not become a god, will naturally possess an elemental power, but he does not seem to have it.
So as his own strength becomes stronger and stronger... Ouyang himself doesn't know where the deviated track will slide.
That's why the maintainer wants to eliminate himself so much.
A variable outside the system, it seems natural to be disgusted when you think about it.
When Ouyang was thinking wildly, flying in the air, he discovered that according to the direction of the energy fluctuation, it was coming from a cave down below.
Ouyang lowered his altitude and continued flying. Just when he wanted to continue thinking, he had to stop.
Not long after entering the cave and walking along the winding road, a stone wall appeared in front of us, blocking the way.
Judging from the traces, there are artificial traces.
This discovery caught him off guard. There were many deep pits in the middle of the road going down. Here, there were actually artificially constructed things?!
"System, how deep is it exactly?"
"Report, using the user as a reference object for calculation, this place is more than four thousand meters away from the ground."
So how was this thing made?
Ouyang complained in his mind as he walked to something that looked like a mechanism and put his hand on it.
Buzz——
Kakaka——
The mechanism started smoothly and the center of the stone wall opened.
As the stone wall opened, Ouyang felt stronger fluctuations in energy.
Not only that, the power of the abyss also rushed towards him.
Ouyang frowned, curious and confused in his heart, and walked in slowly.
Once here, the surrounding landscape has changed back to what it was before.
Cold and hard rock has become the main color again.
The low height makes the space seem a bit cramped.
Under the shining of the light, Ouyang followed the direction and walked all the way.
There seemed to be a nauseating musty smell in the air due to years of silence.
As we go deeper, the height of the cave roof slowly increases, and after turning a corner again, we find another deep pit ahead.
Ouyang, who was already used to it, did not complain and continued to delve deeper after landing.
The familiar energy fluctuations were getting stronger and stronger, but Ouyang, who had been observing the surroundings, did not speed up his pace impatiently.
He seemed very patient at the moment.
We're all here now, so there's no rush.
The main thing is that the surrounding stones all seem to be of the same style, like evenly cut square shapes.
It made him a little confused and did not dare to act blindly.
When he finally crossed the steps and walked into the cave entrance made of rocks, his eyes suddenly brightened.
On the left hand side is the anchor point, and in front of the anchor point is a small platform.
Here you can see the Hantian Nail hanging high in the sky, and below the Hantian Nail are several stone bridges made of stones.
Ouyang stared blankly at the hanging Hantian Nail, his mind in confusion.
The familiar energy fluctuations he felt came from the Cold Sky Nail.

I didn’t expect that before the third volume, I would have to completely embark on the road of changing the magic setting... If you don’t understand it, if you want to criticize it, please explain it clearly here, and I will add more words later as appropriate. I will talk to my wife tomorrow
I have agreed to sit in front of the computer for a day. I don’t know exactly how much I can get... I’ll give it a challenge and see if I can finish this volume.
