"What's the trouble? Do you want the emperor to watch you, the last immortal Yaksha, die?"
Jiang Bai's tone was stern, and Mandrill's concept must be corrected.
If you want him to say, if you need to act coquettishly, act like a spoiled brat, if you need to be miserable, be miserable, if you need to ask for help, then ask for help, what's the point of holding on for dear life?
If something happens, it will only make the people who care about you sad and painful.
"Master cares so much about your safety. He asked me to deliver medicine and food, visit you from time to time, and even asked me to accompany you to Juyuan. Do you think Master will be happy if you die here?"
"……That was not what I meant."
After being scolded suddenly, Mandrill lowered his eyes.
He didn't mean it, but... didn't know what to say.
He just didn't want to trouble the emperor...
"That's what you mean! There's no such thing as trouble. You help me and I'll help you. Isn't this how worldly relationships and bonds are established?
"You said you were not willing to trouble Master, but have you ever thought that Master wanted you to trouble Him?
“You think you don’t want to cause trouble to others, but have you ever thought that this will cause even greater trouble?
"You said that finding Fushe is your private matter, but how can the traces of Yaksha guarding Liyue be considered a trivial matter to the people of Liyue?
"No matter I, the hall master, master, or Zhiqiong, I don't think this is an unimportant matter. Everyone wants to know what happened to Fushe Yaksha, not just your own wishful thinking!"
"Master knew you would think so, so he asked me to look at you."
If Mandrill wasn't here now, Jiang Bai would really want to poke his forehead with his finger to educate him.
Although there is a suspicion of disrespecting the immortal master, it is not the time to care about this.
There was a long silence on the other side of Mandrill, so silent that not a single sound came from it.
He was left speechless by Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai didn't expect to be able to explain him in one or two sentences. Anyway, he had already come in, and Mandrill had no choice but to come in even if he was angry.
"Where are you? I'll go find you." Jiang Bai asked directly.
There was no sound from Mandrill's side for a long time. Just when Jiang Bai thought he had been silent, Mandrill's voice came over.
"We are not in the same space. The space under the Sky Nail is very weird, like multiple spaces overlapping each other, and some people have made modifications. It seems safe, but it is chaotic and dangerous. I can hear To your voice, but we are not in the same space.”
Jiang Bai was very surprised by Mandrill's explanation.
He thought Mandrill was somewhere in this cave, but it turned out not to be in the same space!
He doesn't seem to have the ability to travel through space.
"Then do you have a way to come to my place?"
"I need time."
Mandrill did not give a definite answer.
He has just arrived in this space, and he doesn't know much more about the situation here than Jiang Bai.
If you want to go to the space where Jiang Bai is, you must first find the weak point where the two spaces intersect.
Judging from the sounds conveyed in the dialogue, the two spaces are very close to each other, so it won't be too difficult to try.
Although the fact that Jiang Bai came in put a lot of pressure on him, the [backing] also made him relax a lot.
With the emperor around, you can feel at ease even if you are in a dangerous place.
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
After knowing that the two were not in the same space, Jiang Bai began to explore this space by himself.
He has not felt the danger of chaos that Mandrill mentioned yet.
Jiang Bai originally thought that the cave was not big, but he couldn't find the end no matter how hard he walked.
He could even clearly feel that the physical exertion in this space was several times that of the outside world.
Jiang Bai stopped and frowned to observe the surrounding environment.
The surrounding environment was not much different from the path he had taken, but there were no more changes.
Instead of walking on his legs, Jiang Bai directly took up the wind element and galloped towards the depths of the cave.
After flying for more than ten minutes, the surrounding environment still did not change much despite the high-speed flight. It was still a closed cave, and the road ahead was pitch dark.
Jiang Bai stopped and did not make any more meaningless attempts.
He felt that the space he was in had no end at all, like a cyclic Möbius strip.
He took out Baiyuan and tried to violently clear the way.
Since there is no way to go along the original road, just open one and see if it can lead to somewhere.
Elemental bullets continuously bombarded the thick rock wall, causing rubble to splash out, and a road was blasted out.
Keep walking along the blasted road, and suddenly, the surroundings suddenly become clear.
But seeing the scene in front of him clearly, Jiang Bai's pupils shrank into pinholes.
He saw the sideways palace he had seen under Wuwangpo.
The palace that he once wanted to find again, but disappeared.
It's just that this palace is not turned sideways now, but upside down.
It stood upside down on the dome, and the cave was illuminated by light coming from nowhere.
Dots of shimmering particles floated in the air, and this ancient ruins remained as dead as ever.
Jiang Bai couldn't help but swear.
Oh shit!
Why is this palace here?
This palace was really evil, so he turned around and left.
The last time I went to this palace, although my memory was restored, the experience was not a good one.
In particular, he also encountered a strange thing who claimed to be [the man who knows destiny].
He is an outsider to Teyvat. Even if that "thing" knows destiny, can it still know the destiny of an outsider?
Besides, fate is always changing.
【Do you want to know her fate...】
Suddenly a majestic sound came from behind.
Jiang Bai's departure paused.
He slowly turned his head and stared at the inverted palace.
This voice undoubtedly caught his pulse.
He took a deep breath and walked towards the upside down palace.
Standing on the inverted dome, Jiang Bai looked up at the deep and endless starry sky.
Obviously there are stars all over the sky in this starry sky, but after looking at it for a long time, it seems to be completely dark.
"What do you want to say?"
The voices coming from the stars were still loud and cascading, and it was impossible to distinguish between men and women.
It's just that it's not as intermittent as the first time, and it makes people hear it more realistically.
[The fate of Teyvat is doomed. All humans are just livestock tamed by the gods in fences. 】
"so what?"
Jiang Bai's expression was calm.
[Everything has its price, and those with the Eye of God will become the nourishment of this world...]
Many familiar figures appeared in front of them, their wills, wishes, and even souls turned into the purest energy.
Jiang Bai's body trembled, and his eyes were faintly scarlet.
The majestic cascading sound continued, like the devil's whisper.
[You actually know, don’t you, that this world is on the verge of destruction...]
Many chaotic memories came to mind, all things he had never thought of.
