Yuan Shang began to focus on the 'betrayal' aspect, insisting on it because he had betrayed the Traveler before and knew that the Traveler couldn't stand it.

Yuan Shang made no attempt to hide his cooperative plan with the dragon lizard: release the black mist and then have the dragon lizard elites infiltrate the Great Sun Palace to release their brethren.

This is not good news for the people of Haiqi Island. How will they solve the problem of sacred land conversion without the Blood Branch Coral?

Fortunately, Yuan Shang and the dragon lizard had a falling out, because the black mist released by Yuan Shang was also an extremely dangerous poison to the dragon lizard.

Are you Cheng Yu or Jia Xu, kid? You're so ruthless!

Whether this behavior was considered a betrayal by the dragon lizards or not, even Yuan Shang himself admitted that it was a betrayal, but he was not ashamed but proud of it.

Yuan Shang was quite proud: "After all, if the dragon lizard could frolic and jump around under the power of the abyss, wouldn't the Abyss Order lose face?"

He was quite smug, as if to say: "Our Abyss is really amazing!"

In short, Fuchigami advised the traveler to hurry up and stop Agi, and not to worry about him. He even told the traveler how to use the mechanism he left behind to dispel the darkness of the Great Sun Palace.

So just leave me alone. I've gained nothing and am still a marginal figure in the cult. What's the point of caring about me?

Yuan Shang handed a 'fragment' to the traveler and then ran away.

Most readers don't believe what he says, because he rarely tells the truth.

No, he should say he told a lot of the truth, but he only told half of it.

The legendary dragon lizard people are real, but the real dragon lizard people are not Aqi.

The cooperation with the dragon lizards was also mentioned. He said the black mist could help the dragon lizards infiltrate the Great Sun Palace, and he wasn't lying to the lizards; it really could. However, he didn't mention that the black mist was poisonous.

Now he says he has gained nothing and is a marginal figure, who believes that?

Did he really gain nothing? He had already learned about the situation in the White Night Kingdom, even the structure of the Great Sun Imperial Carriage, and had even built three towers, which could be considered outposts.

As for his claim that he is a marginal figure? One second he was talking about avenging his subordinates, and the next second he cut ties with him and said he was a marginal figure.

It's true that he didn't revolve around the prince, but to call him a marginal figure wouldn't be accurate; he simply loved knowledge more than power.

That's just how Yuan Shang is. He usually doesn't lie, but he always leaves things unsaid, giving you a false sense of information.

But Yuanshang is not lying to you, Ying really can't find Agi when she returns to the Great Sun Palace.

The mechanisms left behind by the abyss can indeed dispel the darkness of the Great Sun Palace.

Paimon was somewhat surprised: "This time, that guy wasn't lying to us."

The traveler sighed, "Strictly speaking, he didn't really lie to us much."

The traveler enters the interior of the Great Sun Palace. The small dragon lizards have been rescued, but the old dragon lizards have not left and are still hiding in the water.

The traveler didn't make things difficult for the dragon lizards and returned to the ground to find Aqi.

Meanwhile, Agi stood before the Great Sun Palace, seemingly deep in thought.

[Aqi: "I'm not going to explain anything more to you. Although I have the ability to communicate with you, I've come to realize that any interaction with people can only end in betrayal."]

Agi looked up at the Great Sun Palace; she wanted to destroy the tower.

She could feel the tower's response to her; she could change the light and darkness and destroy the tower whenever she wanted.

With just a little effort, she could destroy the tower that brought pain to her 'people'.

[Aki: "But why... can't I make a move..."]

Why? Yingmei took out the fragments from Xinhai and Yuanshang that had been given to her, which could be combined with the pendant that Aqi had worn since childhood, because:

"You belong to Haiqi Island."

Aqi fell silent; she could naturally see the difference between herself and the dragon lizard.

But in the end, she shook her head and said:

"Man belongs to the place of his birth, animal belongs to the place where he is fed."

She was raised by lizards from a young age and has almost never seen a human. She learned human language through books, and in her mind, she is a 'lizard'.

She may belong to Haizhi Island, and be someone born on Haizhi Island, but the dragon lizard's home is where she was fed and grew up.

Agi left; she did not destroy the Great Sun Palace.

The traveler also left, telling Xin Hai what had happened here.

Xin Hai directly denied the possibility that A Qi was a dragon lizardman, saying: "The stories of dragon lizardmen and underground lizardmen... have always been settings that only exist in novels, right?"

Villette:?

Xin Hai explained to the traveler the secrets of the Hai Zhi Imperial Clan, as well as the news that the last Imperial Clan member disappeared after being attacked by a dragon lizard when he was young.

This also proves A-Qi's identity; she was the last Imperial Censor of the Sea.

At the end of the story, Lin Qiu thoughtfully drew the 'timeline' of the White Night Kingdom as a side story in the form of a comic.

Chapter 333 Orobas

The story is roughly about how the 'Heavenly Kingdom' collapsed into a bottomless abyss, where the people of seven kings live. In the pitch black, any human who comes here can only become their prey.

People prayed to the original One and the three shining shadows, but received no response.

The only thing that has not abandoned humanity is the "ruler of time," who is every moment, the measure of a thousand winds and the sun and moon.

She is the moment of all joy, the moment of all anger, the moment of all desire, the moment of all madness, the moment of all delirium.

This era without light was called the 'Year of Blindness' by the people of the White Night Kingdom.

Then one day, the sage Abraq (Abe Yoshihisa) was enlightened by Cailos (Istaru) and built Helios (Dainichi Mikoto).

The illustration depicts the Great Sun Imperial Carriage standing tall in the center of the White Night Kingdom, radiating a sun-like light that brings peace of mind.

After the establishment of the Great Sun Palace, the "Age of Bright Eyes" arrived. With the light of the Great Sun Palace, the light-hating dragon lizards no longer attacked on their own initiative, and humans had the means to contend with the dragon lizards.

When the threat to life disappeared, the filth of humanity began to show, and some people began to 'create gods' and 'place the Great Sun Palace' on a divine altar'.

They then support the children to become the Sons of the Sun (Phaethon), as their puppets.

Fearing that the children would grow up and become uncontrollable, they would even sacrifice the Son of the Sun when he turned ten, sending him to be burned to death inside the Great Sun Chariot.

The pain and struggle caused by being burned at the time of death are like dancing; this is the 'Phaethon dance'.

Lin Qiu thoughtfully drew this picture for everyone: children 'dancing' in the flames.

Fortunately, because the light from the flames was bright enough, the child in the picture was just a black silhouette, and the scene was not so cruel.

The first sage, Abe no Yoshihisa, was also arrested and imprisoned until his death.

During his imprisonment, Abe no Yoshihisa completed his deputy's work, "The Past of the Sun and Moon." One has to admit, he's worthy of being Ishtar's scribe—he really dared to write!

In the years that followed, the people of the White Night Kingdom were exploited and controlled by 'them'. Despite receiving the light, they entered a dark age.

There were those who resisted during this period, but all of them failed.

Countless years passed in this way. A young boy, bound by a bet, went alone to search for the Dragon Bone Flower, only to encounter a giant snake he had never seen before in a cave.

The serpent in the painting was enormous; its vertical pupils alone were much taller than the child's. Blood-red coral clung to its body, making it look quite bizarre.

In the right corner of the picture, the little boy looks up at the huge creature, but there is no fear in his eyes. He even raises his hand, as if he wants to touch it.

He wasn't afraid, perhaps because the White Night Kingdom itself had a culture of snake worship.

The people of Umiji Island are very familiar with this deity, Orochi no Mikoto, Umiji no Omikami!

Zhongli and Ying were also familiar with this snake; they had fought it before, but it looked different from when they fought it.

The coral on the body of the demon god Orobas is a 'gift' he received in the dark outer sea; it is power.

Zhongli and Ying hadn't seen him like this much because he didn't have coral branches in Liyue, and in Inazuma, he voluntarily shed most of them.

In the painting, Orobas did not attack the tiny figure before him, but instead asked:

"I am a blasphemous serpent god, though I have hundreds and thousands of followers, none of those I once sheltered are left."

"Today I have fallen into this world and met you; it is fate. Though you are not one of my people, you are still a son of man. What is your wish? Speak freely."

The terrifying serpent spoke rather gently, willing to grant the wishes of those who were not its own subjects, simply because they were human beings. The demon god's words about loving one's beloved were not untrue.

The child showed no fear; he looked at the giant snake with anticipation and tentatively said:

"Can you be the god of us, the people beneath the abyss?"

The great serpent, which had no one to shelter, once again found its people, and the people of the White Night Kingdom, who had lost their protection, also welcomed their god, their 'light'.

The appearance of the giant serpent Orobas was like a powerful hero descending from the heavens to turn the tide.

The dragon lizards that resisted foreign invasion and shattered the false 'gods' of the corrupt high command brought true 'the age of enlightenment' to the White Night Kingdom.

In our time, there is no darkness!

Afterwards, Orobas created his first familiar, Umi no Oishi, hoping she would become a bridge between humans and dragon lizards, and finally end this disaster.

Then, use the abilities of your second family member to curb the 'sacred soil' and cultivate the blood-branch coral.

Finally, Orobas removed the coral branches from his body and built a path, a ladder to "ascend" for the people of the White Night Kingdom and his "children," allowing them to return to the ground and see the sunlight again.

Coral symbolizes 'strength', and it relinquished all its power so that its 'children' could return to the earth.

It's no wonder that the people of Haizhi Island still worship Orobas today, given his actions.

During the relocation of the White Night Kingdom people, the troublemaker Canria tried to send people to steal "The Story of the Sun and Moon," but was stopped.

After landing on the island of Umigi, the great serpent Orobas and Narukami Baal lived peacefully together.

The two gods divided the land along the western border, each ruling over their respective subjects.

Until Orobas saw the past events of the sun and moon, he was sentenced to death by the laws of nature.

Tianli: I won't argue with you in the Abyss Palace, but what will you call me in Teyvat?

Orobas knew that he was destined to die, because the divine law required only seven rulers, and even his people would die, as they were not part of the divine plan.

So Orobas took a gamble, betting on the past events of the sun and moon, betting on Narukami.

After shedding all the coral, Orobas went to his death, but was killed by Narukami and died on Hachiyū Island. The traces of the great battle formed the Musōjin Hazama.

Orobars died, but his people survived because of his death.

The god Baal accepted His people, and from then on, His people were also part of the divine plan.

Initially, the humans of the Abyss Palace and Orobas were completely unrelated, if not intimately connected.

But for these unrelated humans, Orobas gave everything.

Strength and life, all for a single sentence uttered back then.

"Speak freely of any wishes you may have."

"Tell me, can you be the god of us, the people beneath the abyss?"

Orobas did it; He was a worthy god, and even after thousands of years, He was still worshipped and believed in by the people of Haiqi Island.

After reading this story, the people of Umijima Island didn't hate the shogunate as much anymore.

The death of Umiori no Omikami should not be blamed on Narukami at all; in fact, Narukami protected them despite past grievances.

Finding the real 'enemy'—the people of Haiqi Island—can be considered a transfer of hatred.

If things continue like this, it won't be long before Haiji Island and Narukami Island are completely wiped out.

"His actions were for the sake of his people, and so were mine. I have no regrets towards him."

I suppose he doesn't need it.

Chapter 334 Making Dumplings

Hey, speaking of making dumplings, the Lantern Festival in Liyue is just a few days away, so I can go home and make dumplings!

Lin Qiu is from Liyue, so naturally he will celebrate the New Year with Liyue. He has already prepared to go home and make dumplings.

He not only wanted to go home himself, but also wanted to 'pack up' all his friends in Teyvat and take them with him.
