Chapter 183

It’s just that Xixiang never showed that power in the past. After all, to crush a bug, you just need to stretch out your fingers and press it to death.

At most, when there are many bugs, some insecticides will be used.

But there is no need to destroy a city or a country just to kill a small bug.

The minds of gods and Buddhas are all normal, and Xixiang’s mind is also normal, so he has never used that unmatched power 830 in this material world.

But even if he didn’t show his performance, the irresistible majesty alone was enough to let Istaru know its horror and fear.

Naturally, she also understood how powerful the real power of this ‘third throne’ was.

If Xixiang, who possessed this power, was interested in ‘heavenly law’, or even interested in the continent of Teyvat, it would be reasonable to want to rule the world.

But Istaru never thought that Xixiang would be interested in the power of the four rulers.

Although the four rulers were known as the time and space of life and death, their power was not as strong as imagined, otherwise the first throne would not have been defeated.

Just like her, the ruler of time, although she can travel through the flow of time to a certain extent, she cannot really change the flow of time. Such ability is not something she can master.

As long as the strength is sufficient, like Xixiang, he can completely use his power to go upstream from time and destroy the body of the ruler of time.

This is also the reason why Istaru chose to meet Xixiang. If Xixiang did not have such power, she could hide in the flow of time without showing up.

Xixiang just stared at the figure of the ruler of time that was difficult to see clearly in the fluctuating light. He held the long lamp and said leisurely: (ciff) "... I don't need to tell you what I want."

"... Even if I told you, you probably wouldn't understand. You just need to know what I need, which is the possibility that the four rulers of you were born accidentally."

"The previous promise is still valid. When I come back here, I will help you make the second throne lose its power and let the original Phanes return to its original position."

Istaru looked at Xixiang deeply, she sighed lightly and said: "... It seems that I don't have a better choice."

"... Since you want the origin of our four rulers, I will give them to you."

"Even if I don't want to give them to you, you will come to take them by force."

Istaru laughed at herself, and then time fluctuated again. From the figure of Istaru in front of her, four lights flew towards Xixiang.

They were four 'power aggregates' condensed into specific forms, namely flowers, feathers, sand and cups.

These four aggregates symbolize the power of 'life and death time and space'.

Xixiang took the four objects and integrated them into his body. Although these four powers do not seem to be very powerful, they also depend on who uses them.

As long as he carefully studies the possibilities of these fragments of the mother of the evil god and completely transforms them into his own power, Xixiang can completely master the power of life and death.

And the power of life and death exerted by Xixiang will definitely be far more powerful than the four rulers.

"You are really pitiful. You only dare to hide in the turbulence of time and dare not appear."

Xixiang looked at the phantom in front of him and said calmly.

There was no sarcasm in his words, just narrating the facts.

The God of Thousand Winds, the ruler who controls time, is even called the 'Eternal God' in the abyss. Istaru, who has so many titles, is actually a pitiful wanted criminal.

And the Sky Island is now wanted for her.

Istaru was silent for a moment, and said: "...It is because I hide in the turbulence of time that I can escape the sight of the 'maintainer of heaven'."

"...And if I appear in the continent of Teyvat, the Maintainer of Heaven will definitely come. In order to destroy me, she will not mind destroying this land."

"If countless lives die because of me, it will be my dereliction of duty as a ruler."

As one of the oldest demon gods, she accepted people's offerings and protected humans in the era when the seven dragon kings died and humans were just born.

This ruler of time regards all humans as his own people.

The ruler of time Istaru does not have the power to affect the past and the future. She can travel between the past and the future, but she cannot exert influence.

So if she appears, she can only come in the 'now'.

"But you still went to great lengths to give Barbatos power."

Saixiang said this, and he glanced outside the temple.

Barbatos is just a wind elf. There are too many wind elves, but only he is special.

The reason is that the current God of Wind is being watched by the Ruler of Time, so he is called one of the Thousand Winds.

Thousand Winds is the concept of time, and one of them is the wind of Barbatos.

"The people of Mond mistakenly confuse me with the God of Wind and have been worshipping me since ancient times, so I can pay attention to the Mond area."

"...The rule of the Demon God of the Fierce Wind, the lonely king of the tower, Dekalapian, is wrong. His rule will only bring pain to mankind."

"So I used Barbatos as a medium to slightly influence the history of Mond."

Istaru didn't mind telling Xixiang her thoughts.

"Hehe, my beloved Demon God, I have understood what you mean. Even as the Ruler of Time, you are still a Demon God."

"...You can't stand Dekalapian's brutal rule, so you intervened unnecessarily."

"But you who control part of the power of time should understand that interfering with reality in this way will make you contaminated with 'karma'."

"...As the price of your actions, you can only bear it yourself."

"Istaru, hide well. I hope you won't die because of this before I come back here again to liberate you."

Saigo turned around, waved his hand, ignored Istaru's shadow, and left the dilapidated temple.

He has gotten everything he wanted, and now he can leave the continent of Teyvat.

Istaru stared at Saigo's back, and she whispered: "...The Third Throne is really a scary and strange person."

Slowly, the phantom of the God of Thousand Winds disappeared in this temple, hiding again in the turbulent flow of time.

When she appears again, I don't know how long it will be.

Chapter 107 The song ends and everyone disperses

Xixiang walked out of the dilapidated Thousand Winds Temple, and then saw Barbatos sitting under a tree, playing with the strings in his hand.

After seeing Xixiang come out of the temple, he said hello with a "yo" and said with a cheerful smile: "...I haven't come out for so long, I thought you had run away."

Xixiang also smiled when he saw this lively and familiar wind spirit.

This wind elf seems to have a magical power that makes people feel happy easily.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that this wind elf is watched by the ruler of time.

"I originally planned to leave directly, but I am a person of my word. I remembered my agreement with you, so I came to fulfill my promise to you before leaving."

Saigo said with a smile, strolling up to Barbatos.

Barbatos strummed the strings in his hand and hummed an unknown song. He smiled and said: "...Then it's agreed, I will take you to find the God of Thousand Winds, and you will tell me the story outside Mondstadt. ”

Xixiang nodded slightly: "...Okay, I still have plenty of time."

"...Since you want to hear it, let me tell you the story of Liyue and Dao Wife over the past hundred years."

Since he agreed to this Fengshen, Xixiang will fulfill his promise, and it won't take much effort anyway.

Barbatos applauded happily: "...Okay, since we are going to tell a story, how about some wine?"

He blinked his childlike and innocent eyes and stared at Xixiang eagerly.

"According to Liyue, I should have a story and you should have wine."

Saigo said with a smile.

Barbatos touched his head and pretended to be stupid: "...I heard Gunhild say that everyone except Mondstadt seems to use Mora."

"...But I don't have a mora in me, so I can't afford to buy you a drink."

Barbatos turned his hands through the pockets of his clothes. They were cleaner than his face.

"The environment in Mondstadt is harsh and not suitable for planting, and wine is made from grain, which is a luxury in Mondstadt."

"...My friend said that a poet should be accompanied by wine, and only then can he be a qualified poet."

Barbatos sounded cheerful.

The environment in Mondstadt is harsh, and the resources are many times poorer than those of Daozhi and Liyue. It is too difficult to find fields that can be cultivated in this snowy mountain.

After arriving in Mondstadt, Xixiang learned about the geographical environment here.

But it is this difficult environment that nurtures the perseverance of Mondstadt people. No matter how great the sufferings are, Mondstadt people can face them head-on.

"Since wine is a luxury here, have you ever drank wine in the past?"

Saigo also sat on the snowy ground like Barbatos.

"Of course I have, otherwise how could I say that wine is a good thing? The last time I drank, I secretly drank Legenfend's wine."

"...He should have noticed it, right? But Legenfend won't care, hehe~"

Barbatos licked his mouth, looking like he was drunk.

Xixiang laughed dumbly and said: "...I didn't bring anything. I really don't know why you thought I had wine here."

Said Xixiang, but he reached into the void and took out the good wine from Dao Wife and Liyue.

This is a simple application of space control technique.

Barbatos's eyes lit up when he saw this scene, and his expression was like saying, 'Coach, I want to learn this'!

"Hey, I just said that a guy as powerful as you should have some special abilities. Look, there's wine involved."

Barbatos rubbed his hands and said.

Xixiang was startled for a moment, then laughed and said: "...So you are blowing me up."

Barbatos grabbed Xixiang's wine and hugged them like an old hen guarding its calves, "...since you said you wanted to treat me to a drink, don't lie."

Xixiang recalled for a while and then said: "...I don't think I said I would treat you to a drink."

Barbatos waved his hand quickly: "...let's talk first, I don't have Mora, and I can't afford your wine. How about I sing for you and use it as money to buy wine."

"Then aren't you just a singer?"

"Hey, whoever sells singing should sell singing."

Barbatos didn't care at all. He opened all the corks of the wine bottles that Xixiang took out, and sniffed hard at the mouth of the bottle, showing an intoxicated expression:

"...This looks like a good wine. Comparing it with the wine from Legenfend, it's as bad as horse urine."

Xixiang said thoughtfully: "...So you have drank horse urine."

Barbatos' expression was stifled and embarrassed. He quickly took it out of his arms, took out a few apples and said: "...Here, these are apples, which are rare in Mondstadt."

“…For your wine, I’ll treat you to an apple!”

Given the environment in Mondstadt, fruits and vegetables are already expensive. In the past, Barbatos had been living in the snow-capped mountains. It was not easy for him to find apple trees in the snow-capped mountains.

Barbatos took a bite of the apple, and then took a sip of wine. His face turned red with a drunken blush, and he looked like he was really enjoying being alive.

···········Please ask for flowers··········

Xixiang took his apple and took a bite. The apple was slightly sour, but the taste was different from Daozuma and Liyue's, and was crisper.

"Then, let me start with the Demon God War in Liyue."

Xixiang recounted everything he experienced in the Teyvat continent.

Except for things that cannot be known to Barbatos such as "The Past of the Sun and the Moon", he narrated everything he encountered to the God of Wind.

In the continent of Teyvat, it can be said to be an important stage for Xixiang to completely transform from the human concept of time to the demonic concept of time.

He has stayed in the Teyvat continent for a hundred years, which has exceeded the total age of Xixiang in the past.

Telling your story to Barbatos is also a testimony of this trip.

........ 0

Although Xixiang knew something about the history of various countries in Teyvat Continent, he didn't talk that much. He just told his own stories and everything he witnessed.

Barbatos drank wine, ate apples and listened.

From time to time, he picked up the piano and played impromptu, and the tune gradually changed from casual to rhythmic.

In a short period of time, Barbatos compiled the story of Zarathustra, the Demon of Entropy, into a poem that would be passed down to future generations.

The beautiful song of the God of Wind echoed in this snowy area. When the song stopped, Xixiang was no longer in front of Barbatos.

"Here's a drink to you, we can be considered friends."
