"What happened? Just for a moment, a little girl suddenly appeared, and then your eyes started to bleed, and Wendy disappeared. What happened..."
Her voice became trembling because of fear.
"This place is really evil, what should we do? Where can we find Wendy..."
Just as she was speaking, a green light flashed, and Wendy appeared from the light.
"Liyue may be in big trouble."
His voice was a little weak and his body was swaying a little.
Sasuke quickly stepped forward to help him.
"What's going on here?"
"I also felt strong negative emotions just now. It was a bit similar to when I purified Tevalin's tears, but it was stronger... My eyes couldn't absorb it."
With Sasuke's support, Wendy calmed down for a while before continuing:
"That's wear and tear..."
"Wear and tear?"
"Yes, wear and tear."
"Whether it is the earthly ruler or the life of those elements, the lifespan is far longer than that of ordinary humans. It is precisely because of this that time will bring wear and tear."
"Over time, we will lose our ability to empathize, and all the beautiful things will be gradually forgotten, leaving only endless regrets. This is wear and tear, and wear and tear will make us become like beasts."
"No matter how hard we struggle, we will continue to lose the ability to get along with others and lose our rationality. The more powerful the power, the greater the danger it will bring when it is worn out."
"It is precisely because of this that I often need to sleep to avoid wear and tear."
"And what is sealed below is the dependent of Morax, the Elemental Dragon King who once fought with Morax in the Demon God War, and the people of Liyue call him the Dragon King Ruotuo."
"The reason why he is sealed here is precisely because of wear and tear."
"The little girl just now must be the incarnation of his evil thoughts. In that incarnation, I felt the chaos caused by wear and tear."
Wear...this is a new concept.
At this time, although it was difficult for Sasuke to fully understand what hundreds or even thousands of time dimensions would bring to people, he still felt a little bit of empathy.
All the good things before the night of genocide will completely dissipate after that night, and all the good things before will become worse, lingering like a curse.
For hundreds of years and thousands of years, if something similar keeps happening...
Unimaginable.
Suffocated, but unable to resist.
"But the good news is that the seal set by Morax is still there. Although its power has indeed leaked a little... there is still no way to break the seal in a short time."
Wendy sighed.
"Let's leave here first. I just tried to strengthen the seal, but the power is different and it can't work. This is no longer within my ability. I can only let Morax handle it by himself."
"Eh? Let Morax handle it...how to handle it? Isn't the King of Rock already dead?"
Paimon's eyes widened and he asked with some uncertainty.
"Hmm... Paimon may not know much about Morax's strength. If you were lucky enough to see the heroic figure of the God of War, you wouldn't think that someone could assassinate him during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony."
"And there is no need for someone who has the real strength to kill Morax to use assassination. So he must have his own plan and chose to fake his death."
"Originally, I came to Liyue with the intention of watching a good show, but now it seems I may not be able to take it that easy."
"If the thing sealed underground really comes out, I'm afraid it won't be just Liyue that suffers. If it's not handled well, I'm afraid the whole of Teyvat will..."
At this point, Wendy suddenly changed the subject.
"Hey, I originally wanted to sing a eulogy in front of Morax's tomb and leave a Scissorhands as a souvenir, but now it seems that it may be difficult to achieve."
"Ah? Hey! If the matter is really as urgent as you said, why do you still have the mind to say nonsense here!"
When Paimon heard the consequences of what Wendy said, his face turned pale and his tone became urgent.
"As you say, Teyvat is going to be doomed. Why don't we act quickly?"
"Well, Paimon is right, but there is no need to worry too much. Although the seal has been leaked, it will not be destroyed in a day or two. Judging from what I just observed, it will take at least one or two
Months of time will give the underground evil dragon a chance to continue to expand the power it unleashes, otherwise it wouldn't just be able to condense evil thoughts like a little girl's."
"It must be difficult for it to break through the seal in a short time, so it condensed into a human form. Therefore, to find a way, someone may need to use external force to break the seal together, so..."
Wendy waved her hands, and a huge blue wind barrier centered on him and spread out in all directions, forming a translucent cover around the strange tree.
It looks a bit like the barrier set up by the wind demon dragon Tevalin that I saw in the wind dragon ruins.
"Does this work?"
Paimon looked at the looming wind barrier in front of him, feeling a little suspicious, and touched it with one hand.
Wendy just smiled slightly but didn't stop her.
"Bang~"
"Wow!"
The moment Paimon came into contact with this wind barrier, his whole body flew backwards and spun around in the air before being caught by Sasuke, who had quick eyes and quick hands.
"As you can see, this barrier is still very reliable and can bounce away objects it touches. Moreover, this barrier was established using Tevalin's power, so as long as Tevalin does not have any accidents, unless the destroyer's power
Far beyond Tevalin, otherwise it would be impossible to forcibly break the barrier."
"And he will only carefully bounce those who come into contact with him, so even if an adventurer or traveler accidentally enters here and touches this barrier out of curiosity, it will not cause any harm."
"Hmm... probably at most, you can flip around in the air like little Paimon?"
"Hey~"
"Hey what's going on!"
Paimon, who was caught by Sasuke, was a little annoyed that he had become the first test subject of Wendy's barrier.
"You, a wind god, actually used the power of your own followers to create a barrier. You are really...an unreliable wind god. No, I have to give you an unpleasant nickname."
"I told you to be a soft-boiled person!"
"Oh, thank you Lord Paimon for the nickname. I like it very much. It would be better if I could eat soft rice in the tavern."
Wendy didn't take it seriously at all and even bowed.
"..."
Paimon was shocked by the shamelessness of the god in front of him, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
I still suffer the disadvantage of being uneducated.
Read more, Paimon.
However, once these two started arguing, the previously tense atmosphere relaxed a lot.
"Then the joke ends here. The most important thing now is to find Morax first. Sasuke, can you recall if you have any clues about Morax after arriving in Liyue?"
