Genshin Impact: Tenri and His Eight Perfect Dragons

[I opened... the secret passage leading to forbidden knowledge, and glimpsed the secret of the high-sky crystal. I was no longer blinded by the false sky. With my great knowledge, I built a great machine leading to bliss... 】

[However, in the dream, I kept groping between the broken walls of the crystal maze, and all I saw... was yellow sand. 】

[What exactly led to this tragic failure? 】

An obelisk stands on the desert. The person who left the handwriting seems to be the Red King who abandoned his body after being completely corroded by the forbidden knowledge and sealed the [Golden Dreamland]. His handwriting is full of decadence. .

After flying above the sea of ​​sand for a while, Wang Ling saw another obelisk, but the writing on this stele showed a bit of decadence, and it should have been left in front of the previous obelisk.

[You turned into cinders in front of me, and you told me not to be afraid of the blue crystal nails. 】

[Ask me not to forget the cruel punishment you have endured and be prepared to lose a lot. 】

【Is what I...do really worth it...】

【Disasters are coming, I gained and lost. 】

[The flower god fell, a sandstorm covered the sky, the souls mourned, and the paradise passed away. 】

[My people believe that the Queen of Flowers ended with the evil intentions of the scorching sun and yellow sand...I...cannot argue]

[In knowledge...there is no way to bring you back...]

Not far behind this obelisk, there is another obelisk.

As the royal tomb approaches, the words on it are:

[I would like to be the pioneer who tears the sky apart, even if I become a martyr. 】

[Even if the chance of transcending the absurd rules of the dome world is slim, I am willing to burn myself to death, and the golden sun rises slowly in the desert with burning ambition]

[Even if the sun understands that it cannot illuminate the earth forever]

[My beloved, do you... want to help me? 】

The order in which the obelisk is encountered is 3-2-1.

This obelisk was obviously erected when the Red King first created the conscious world of [Aru], and it was earlier than any other message. At this time, the Red King had already learned about the deception of the sky through the Flower God.

He no longer accepted the gifts from the Lord of the Sky and began to plan his own great plan.

The royal mausoleum stood on this boundless sea of ​​sand, with only a little sadness in my heart.

It is feared that the earth has long been eroded by forbidden knowledge, and the soul of the Red King has long since died after more than two thousand years.

These three obelisks can reveal the mental journey of the Red King.

I knew the deception in the sky from the beginning, and I was ambitious, but now I know that I am my own country and raised the banner of rebellion.

Then when the flower god died, his subjects were confused and depressed, and the lonely king found that besides the deception of the false sky, what he was more afraid of was loneliness. What he wanted was not to tear the sky apart.

It’s about the time spent with your beloved, hence the lament.

Later, after being tainted with complete forbidden knowledge, I closed myself in this world on the verge of collapse, and began to think about the reasons for all this failure, and the last monument to be erected.

It was the one Wang Ling saw at the beginning.

[What exactly caused this tragic failure? 】

What's even more tragic is that the Red King's civilization prospered because of forbidden knowledge and was destroyed because of forbidden knowledge. In this story, heavenly principles did not even appear from beginning to end.

"Ugh."

Wang Ling sighed softly.

The body rose again, and the sadness of the Red King was put aside for the time being. Deep in the sand sea, Wang Ling felt the aura of the remaining power of the Red King.

On the broken scorching sun, in the dead desert.

It contains the authority left by the Red King.

It would be better to put it another way, this small world, the setting sun, the desert.

It is the embodiment of the authority of the Red King.

The people of the desert have basically all followed their king. The day the consciousness of their king brings souls contaminated with forbidden knowledge into this [heaven], this place is destined to be annihilated.

The few remaining souls that have not been devoured, although contaminated with forbidden knowledge, only retain the instinct of survival, and alleviate the pain by cannibalizing their own kind.

And because the energy of the crystal as a carrier has not been exhausted, the remnant souls of these desert people have always been in a state of immortality. Those who were cannibalized by the same kind may be the lucky ones.

This torture that has lasted for more than a thousand years can be ended sooner.

In fact, from the perspective of Wang Ling, Wang Ling does not particularly sympathize with people like Red King and Kanreia who are trying to uncover this false sky.

Born in this world, how can we guarantee that everything outside the world will be better than this world? The law of the jungle has never changed, and there is not enough ability, so what if the sky is torn apart.

At least according to all the current records, as long as you abide by the rules of this world in the Teyvat continent, the laws of nature will not care about you, you can do whatever you want.

The destruction of all civilizations is caused by seeking death by oneself and destroying the balance of the world.

What Tianli does is more like a punishment for someone who breaks the rules.

......

"receive!"

The broken sun hanging in the sky was taken into the hands of Wang Ling.

This extinguished sun is just a representation. It is actually a product similar to a carrier of authority. It corresponds to the "scorching sun" in the [Scorching Sun and Yellow Sand] owned by the Red King.

"I don't know if the system can absorb the damaged authority."

And this sea of ​​sand...

"There is no longer the breath of the Red King here, but the forbidden knowledge must still be in this world. Could it be that it is under the yellow sand."

At this moment, Wang Ling's power of heavenly principles has only been restored to about 20%, and his spiritual detection can only be expanded to a larger country. He is still somewhat unable to cope with the boundless spiritual world. Wang Ling does not want to consume his spiritual consciousness too much.

After all, the energy of natural law can be restored by absorbing the power of the abyss, and the spiritual power can only be restored slowly by itself, unless there is a god or demon whose authority is related to spiritual attributes.

"Come on, let me see what this forbidden knowledge will look like in the consciousness space."

"Go to the center of the world first."

The figure of Wang Ling left the obelisk where the Red King recorded himself, a sonic boom was set off in the air, and the figure flew towards the center of the world.

......

In the center of the sand sea, there is a huge quicksand vortex. The closed structure lies quietly in the center of the vortex. The surrounding desert seems to turn purple due to it and spread outward.

"Ok?"

As soon as Wang Ling arrived here, he saw this self-discipline mechanism.

Different from the one in the Sumeru Desert, this semi-eternal domination matrix is ​​the transformed form of forbidden knowledge and is in a dormant state.

The one in the small mausoleum contains the obsession of the lonely king and is controlled by human consciousness.

The [Forbidden Knowledge] transformed in front of me is like the epitome of all Fontaine technologies. Not only is it larger than the mechanical form made by the Red King, it is also far more sophisticated and complex.

At this moment, Wang Ling's system can already display the names of some things.

[Eternal Fully Formed Dominance Matrix] Several large characters floated over the head of this structure that created an endless whirlpool of quicksand.

"Can these abyssal powers that record [forbidden knowledge] present different ideologies based on the different recorded knowledge?"

Wang Ling touched his chin and thought about it:

"It seems that we have found the technical matrix of Red King Technology."

【Click————Zhi——】

A mechanical sound sounded.

boom--------

Wang Ling tilted his head, and the black-purple laser shot missed.
