Original God's Dark Priest

The truth about Himulanka is revealed, and Durin's future is no longer about an evil dragon trapped in a fairytale world.

It chose to follow Krevi, and after a few days, the man and the dragon left Shimulanka and headed towards Haizhi Island.

This had been decided beforehand. Krevy was going to Yuanxia Palace to find Saphir.

Saphir left after that day and did not tell anyone where she was going. Only Alice knew that she went to Xumi.

As for the reason for going to Xumi, it was actually very simple. Her deal with Kong had not been completed yet.

At this time, Xumi, the Demon Mountain, weighed the tiller in his hand, and Saphir leaned against a big tree, glancing at Kong who was rubbing his hands.

"I've got the things, it's time to answer my questions." Safir naturally wouldn't hand the things over directly.

She always has to collect two payments, one to confirm the transaction and another to extort before the transaction. This is basic operation.

Kong's face looked a little grim, and he stiffened his neck and said, "You're so slow this time. I've been waiting for you for all these days and I still haven't settled the score with you. And you still want to blackmail me?"

"I'm slow? Isn't my slowness because of your sister? Otherwise, if something happens later, you can go and save yourself. I won't care." Saphir said righteously that the delay was because she went to Ximulanka for support, not because she was inefficient.

Kong touched his nose and ignored it. He was just kidding. He already had a lot of things to do, so how could he have time to take care of his sister?

Anyway, this girl is a hypocrite, so I feel relieved to leave it to her.

In the end, the two of them argued and Kong compromised.

If the tiller's eye was in Deinsreb's hands, he could still find a way to get it back. The worst result would be to take advantage of Deinsreb's trust in Ying.

But if it is in Safir's hands, there is basically no possibility of snatching it. This guy is too perverted and Kong can't beat him.

We cannot push Saphir completely to the opposite side of the Abyss Cult. This would be even more foolish than going into direct war with the Fatui.

If a war were to go to war with the Fatui, Sora would have to consider how to deal with a group of executive officers, but these executive officers were not a monolithic entity and could be divided.

But if they go to war with Safir, there will be no chance of winning, as they will have to face the coalition forces of the six nations except Nata.

Sora chose to confess his next plan.

After hearing Kong's narration, Saphir's eyebrows knitted together. "I know about the Kanria restoration plan, but what do you mean by the otherworld based on the ley lines? Are you planning to create a shadow kingdom in Liyue?"

Among the current countries, Liyue is probably the most suitable and has the most stable earth veins.

But Sora shook his head: "Liyue isn't suitable. Even if it were, I wouldn't choose it because Morax wouldn't agree."

"So where are you planning to go?" Saphir was a little confused. She felt that Kong might choose Xumi or Mond.

But Sora gave her an answer she hadn't expected: "Nata."

Nata has advantages over several other countries. First of all, Nata's gods are human. Compared with other countries ruled by demons or elemental dragons, Nata is undoubtedly more vulnerable to exploitation.

Then there is the tradition on Nata's side. The resurrection mechanism of the Return to Fire Holy Night Tour is based on Nata's land veins. That side is quite special. In Kong's opinion, this means that Nata's land veins are closer to an independent inner world.

With just a slight adjustment to the Loom of Fate, the Abyss Cult's kingdom could be created without causing too much impact on Nata.

However, the biggest problem on Nata's side has not been solved yet, that is, the war with the abyss has not ended yet.

The Nata veins were severely eroded, which made Kong a little worried.

"I'm telling you this in the hope that you can help us think of a solution regarding the ley lines over there..." Kong stated his request.

Saphir looked at him speechlessly: "Why don't you ask Capitano about this?"

"Thrain is too upright. It would not be a good idea for me to tell him everything. He might ruin my plan." Kong was too lazy to make excuses. He couldn't deceive Saphir anyway, so he just told the truth.

Saphir was not surprised by this answer. The captain was indeed too upright, so Kong came to her side.

After considering it for a moment, Safire decided to agree: "Okay, I will try to mediate when the time comes, but I'm not sure if it will work."

"As long as you're willing to try." Sora was very satisfied with the answer.

Afterwards, the two began to speculate about the next Nata plan, focusing on several points.

According to the news brought by Kong, the Fire God of Nata seemed to have a plan as well, but he didn't know what it was.

Saphir's view on this is to wait and see. Any plan of the God of Fire will hardly involve the interests of the Fatui, so there is no need to take it to heart.

Compared to the God of Fire, the captain's plan concerned them more. As we all know, the abyss can erode the earth veins. If the captain wants to deal with the abyss invasion on Nata's side, the possibility of him taking action on the earth veins on Nata's side cannot be ruled out.

Thinking of this, Saphir suddenly remembered the news he learned when he obtained the Hell Pioneer.

The human traitor named Bimbo told Saphir that the Abyss was planning to attack the Great Spirit.

Nata's leylines are closely related to the Great Spirit. If the Great Spirit is destroyed or eroded, then according to the captain's logic, drastic measures are almost the first choice.

When the time comes, if he leads a group of Fatui to attack the corrupted Great Spirit, will it lead to a direct war between the Fatui and Nata?

Safire thinks this possibility exists and is very high.

The captain's mission is to seize the Heart of the God of Fire. According to that person's style, he will definitely not engage in shady transactions and bets like Safir.

The most likely thing is to just grab it.

This is another escalation of the conflict.

Saphir rubbed her temples. If it was any other executive officer in charge of Nata, she could have calmed him down by pressing his head, but the captain...

Well...can't be stopped.

Her face might not be very useful. If she chooses to suppress with force, will the First and Second Fatui fight each other in Nata?

If you make a fool of yourself in front of others, you may be taken advantage of.

She has a headache.

"This isn't going to be easy." Sora gave his assessment.

Saphir nodded.

Kong rolled his eyes and said, "The dragon technology over there is quite advanced. Maybe we can ask others for help?"

"Sandoni? Forget it. She wouldn't even be able to withstand a slap from the captain." It's not that she underestimated Sandoni. The Fatui executive officers' seats were indeed not ranked according to combat power, but the top three seats were definitely better than the bottom eight seats.

She couldn't call for any help in this matter and could only find a solution on her own.

Ultimately, after failing to reach any conclusion, Saphir decided to leave. The intelligence she had available wasn't enough for her to formulate a detailed strategy, so she'd have to return to Nata to make further plans.

She glanced at Sora, then said, "Once the Loom of Fate is complete, Vagin's consciousness will completely dissipate, right?"

"Yes. If there's anything else you want to say to him, there's still time." Kong looked serious. He respected Wagin's sacrifice.

Saphir sighed and shook his head: "Forget it, he is not one of my subordinates. If he feels that this is the end of him, I have no objection."

Sora stood there, sensing a melancholy emotion from Saphir.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I can help you weave the earth veins in Yuanxia Palace."

Now the earth veins of Abyssal Palace are still disconnected from Teyvat, but it is an independent system and there is nothing that needs to be adjusted.

But Kronos is not among them. If there is help from Kong, Saphir can incorporate the ley lines into Kronos, and then place those dragons at the ley line siltation points to create a ley line lord similar to Teyvat.

Safir thought about it and felt that this was a good idea, so the two of them returned to Yuanxia Palace together.

Everything on Kronos Island is now run by Phobos. The disadvantage of this is that it has to constantly consume Saphir's power to drive it, and it cannot absorb the remaining power of Odin on Kronos Island, which is a loss.

After Kong's weaving, Kronos Island officially became a part of the Abyss Palace, and Phobos, which was placed in the black volcano, was also taken away by Saphir.

She didn't know what else this thing could be used for, so she could only put it away for now and take it out later if it could be used.

A few days passed by unknowingly, and Ying finally returned from Shimulanka. When she opened her eyes in a daze, the person who appeared in front of her was beyond her expectations.

Kong stood there quietly, looking at her tenderly.

Ying seemed to be frightened and took a step back unconsciously, then immediately ran forward and stretched out her hand to try to touch the other person.

The moment her fingertips touched Sora's cheek, Sora's figure vanished and could not be touched.

Ying withdrew her hand, looked at her palm, and then looked at the surrounding environment. Only then did she realize that she was not in the library of Yuanxia Palace, but had come to an unfamiliar orange space.

"This is the consciousness space left by a friend. His consciousness dissipated, and it was Saphir who helped stabilize this place, giving you and me the opportunity to meet again." Kong took a few steps forward, and his body passed directly through Ying's body, which also confirmed that they could not touch each other here.

Knowing that Ying was still a little confused, Kong explained, "This is an ownerless space and will soon disappear. It only exists because of Saphir's ability, so it won't last long.

You and I shouldn't be here, touching each other."

As he said that, he turned around and looked at his sister: "If it weren't like this, I would also like to hug you."

What he said was sincere, but it made Saphir, who witnessed it all, feel very angry.

This bastard even lied to his own sister.

Ying was still in a state of mental inactivity, so Kong took the lead and invited Ying: "Let's chat casually."

After saying that, he led Ying to a fallen tree trunk and sat on it. Ying sat beside him without saying a word.

Feeling the familiar aura of the person next to him, Kong felt a ripple in his heart. "Having the opportunity to stop and chat with you in a relaxed manner like this is such a rare thing... You should think so too, right?"

"I can't even believe this is true." Ying was a little overwhelmed. She had just said goodbye to Qin in Ximulanka, but when she came out she saw Kong.

Some are too jumpy.

But she was a veteran after all, so she quickly calmed down and asked, "Are you familiar with Saphir?"

"We're pretty familiar with each other, I guess. She often helps me, and I also help her with some things." Sora nodded, not denying it. "You can trust her."

Ying nodded slightly. It seemed that what Dainsleb said before was not completely wrong. Saphir and his brother did have a connection with the Abyss Cult.

"Dainsleb told me about the Loom of Destiny. What is that?" Ying had so many questions she wanted to ask, and it would take a long time to ask them one by one.

Kong showed no sign of impatience at all. He chuckled and said, "That's not a secret. Saphir knows about this as well. She's put a lot of effort into it. You can ask her for the answer to this question. It will save us time together."

Ying frowned and looked at Kong: "So, you really have been planning something, right?"

"Yes, although I still have no clue now, I still have time before Tianli awakens." Kong raised his head slightly, as if looking at something in the sky.

Ying knew that he was worried, so she asked, "Is the principle of heaven still asleep?"

"Five hundred years ago, after the Kanreya catastrophe, the laws of nature fell into a deep slumber, without a sound...

Not long ago, you should have witnessed the Water God destroying his own throne, right?" Kong turned to look at Ying. "Such an act of disrespect to the rules, yet Sky Island did nothing... can also be considered as a kind of evidence."

However, justice will surely awaken... but we don't yet know what the opportunity will be, nor what the reason will be."

Ying thought carefully about whether there was any hatred between herself and Tianli, but she felt that there was no deep hatred: "Do you hate Tianli very much?"

Sora's voice was soft, yet his tone was not relaxed. "Well, sort of. People don't have the right to choose to come to this world, but once they come, and try their best to survive, they are arbitrarily deprived of the right to live..."

"Heaven is cruel and treats all things as straw dogs..." Ying thought of this sentence.

Kong's expression froze, and he looked at Ying with a complicated expression, as if it was the first day he met this sister. After a long moment, he slowly nodded: "Appropriate, yet shocking."

He sighed deeply, "My feelings towards the principles of heaven cannot be fully expressed in a few words..."

They just sat there quietly, in silence, for a long time.

"Ying, do you blame me?" Kong suddenly broke the silence and asked a strange question.

Ying frowned and thought for a long time after hearing this, and finally shook her head: "Originally... I should have countless questions to ask you, but now I suddenly don't want to ask so many questions.

Because I don’t understand. From the beginning, there was only one thing I didn’t understand…”

She clenched her fists tightly on her thighs, her voice trembling slightly: "Why...why can't you continue traveling with me?"

Faced with this question, Kong did not choose to answer directly. He stood up and said, "At the end of my journey, I came to a place called the Sea of ​​Flowers.

Do you remember? Long, long ago, when we traveled together to other planets...

You said you hoped to find a sea of ​​flowers like that somewhere in the universe. And that place, that sea of ​​flowers, appeared before my eyes.

Do you think that could be a coincidence?"

"You mean..." Ying opened her eyes wide and stood up as well.

Without waiting for her to say anything, Kong walked up to her and met her eyes. "I missed you too, Ying." Just when Ying thought he would open his arms and give her a hug, Kong turned his back on her and took a few steps, putting some distance between them. "But before the war ends, before I get that final answer...

I don’t know how to face myself, let alone you.”

At the same time as he said this, Saphir's voice echoed in Sora's heart: "Time is almost up. This consciousness space is very fragile. I can't hold on for much longer."

"Yeah." Kong responded in his heart. He was about to say goodbye to Ying again.

The space began to vibrate, startling Ying: "What's going on here?"

"This ownerless space... the time it can exist is almost reaching its limit." Kong didn't find it strange.

From his and Ying's perspective, cracks began to appear in space, a sign of impending destruction.

Ying still felt it was not enough. She looked around, trying to find the person hiding in the dark: "Where is Saphir? She is so powerful, why can't she..."

"She has no obligation to provide us with stable support." Kong's words made Ying wake up.

Yes, Safir's care for her from the beginning to the end was not what he should have done. Helping her was a favor, and not helping her was his duty. She shouldn't have made any more requests.

"Goodbye, Ying, I look forward to seeing you next time..." Before Kong could finish his words, everything shattered completely and fell into darkness.

Ying tried hard to say something, but the sound that came out of her mouth was like smoke dissipating in a hurricane, nowhere to be found.

The space is silent and everything returns to nothingness.

In Yuanxia Palace, in Saphir's bedroom, Huaqing Palace, Ying and little Paimeng were lying on a big bed covered with a pink quilt, sleeping soundly.

At the entrance of Yuanxia Palace, Kong smiled at Saphir and said, "I'm going to ask you to take care of my troublesome sister again."

"No need to say more nonsense. Bring me some materials next time so that our business can last for a long time." Safir leaned against the rock wall and waved his hand nonchalantly.

Kong looked at her deeply, then opened a deep crack in the abyss, walked in, and left this place completely.

Watching Kong go away, Saphir yawned and stretched out his body. "Haha—maintaining a consciousness space is really tiring. I'm going back to rest."
