Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave

Unlike Zhongli, Wendy is a person who likes to actively seek the truth.

In history, the wind god Barbatos was often not in Mondstadt.

In other words, he often disappeared for a long time, as if he had disappeared from the world.

Unlike the Rock God who appears in people's sight every year, on the one hand, Barbatos feels that he does not need to show up in public; on the other hand, he does have more important things to deal with during that time.

According to Wendy, every time she left Mond, she would go to Sky Island in person.

Staying there in the name of service, he secretly observed the movements of the maintainer of justice.

Logically speaking, the seven rulers of the mortal world cannot go to the Sky Island at will. They bear the heavy responsibility of ruling the mortal world. Wouldn't it be dereliction of duty if they often go to the sky?

However, based on Wendy's personality and his shrewd behavior, the wind god must have found a way to work around it.

In the past history, Wendy had spent hundreds of years on the Sky Island. So in today's Teyvat continent, no one knows what happened on the Sky Island better than him.

So Li Mochen immediately rushed to Mond.

At the fountain in the center of Mondstadt, look for the bard who always plays the harp.

"Hey, isn't this Mo Chen? What trouble did he get into this time?"

When Wendy saw Li Mochen, he was very happy, but also a little worried, because in the past, when Li Mochen came to him, it was usually accompanied by bad situations.

However, even with mental preparation, the magnitude of the trouble ahead was beyond Wendy's expectations.

"...I see, this is a really big and tricky thing."

After listening to Li Mochen's statement, Wendy smiled bitterly.

Of course, in the narration just now, Li Mochen did not reveal all the details.

Especially about Paimeng and her identity, Li Mochen didn't dare to reveal it to others casually.

Even if he believed in Wendy, he was one of the Seven Consuls after all. After learning Paimon's true identity, it would be difficult for him to face her normally in the future... After all, she was his old boss.

Therefore, Li Mochen only told Wendy about the upcoming priests and the "Rock God Inheritance Ceremony".

Wendy also expressed the same doubts about this matter.

"But this is not right. The Maintainers are still dormant. Why are the clergy acting on their own?"

Wendy is well aware of the dynamics of the Heavenly Justice Maintainers.

During his years of living on Sky Island, he had some understanding of the current situation of the Maintainers.

As mentioned before, the Maintainer is currently in poor condition and is sleeping to recover.

Wendy judged that it was impossible for them to wake up so quickly.

As for the matter of replacing the Rock God, only the maintainer has the right to decide, and the clergy have no right to interfere.

"According to our speculation, there may be something wrong with the clergy."

"If there is a problem with the clergy... then the most likely possibility is that the 'Skyrim Priest' Augustus is behind it. He always gives people the impression that he is ambitious."

Then, Wendy sighed and mentioned the name he thought was most suspicious.

The "Sky Priest" Augustus is a follower of the "Life Sustainer" and one of the earliest priests.

According to Wendy, even the other priests could not determine Augustus' age, they only knew that he was tens of thousands of years old.

In addition to being the oldest, Augustus is also the strongest among all the clergy.

He is so strong that according to Wendy's description, even the Bloody Knight who has mastered the power of the "Four Supreme Pillars" is nothing in front of him.

If the clergy cannot act freely without the instructions of the Maintainer.

Once the bloody knight displayed the power granted by the "Four Supreme Pillars", he would probably be killed instantly by Augustus who was thousands of miles away.

But this approach doesn't work.

Even if faced with a crisis that could affect the entire continent of Teyvat...

In the iron jungle of the city, even the priests cannot easily intervene in the human world without the permission of any superiors. This is an unquestionable rule.

"It can't be that strict, right? The world is about to collapse, and the priests can't make their own decisions?"

"Yes, because the priest himself may cause the end of the world."

Li Mochen was stunned for a moment, but the logic behind this rule soon came to his mind.

Each of the priests possesses strength close to that of a holy god, and is by no means comparable to the Bloody Knights.

This kind of extraordinary master can destroy everything with ease.

If they happen to use their abilities, it might bring great disaster to the world.

According to Paimon, there are countless examples in history of priests causing the end of the world.

Whether it was the priest's hot-headedness, his uncontrollable desire to fight, or any other reason.

As long as they start a fierce battle on the continent of Teyvat, the chances of the world's destruction will increase sharply.

Therefore, all actions of priests are strictly controlled. This is the price of being a priest - a restriction on freedom.

But today's priests do not seem to abide by this principle.

The only explanation Wendy could think of was that the "Sky Priest" Augustus no longer seemed satisfied with his status as a priest.

Maybe he seeks more power, or maybe he just wants to liberate himself.

In short, while the defenders are all asleep, this may be the opportunity for Augustus to take action.

Wendy has been in the "Sky Castle" for a long time and has some understanding of the priests there.

Compared with the numerous "divine pillars", there are very few priests.

The two great protectors, Time and Law, do not have their own priests, and there are only nine priests in total now.

Among them, four are priests of life, three are priests of death, and two are priests of space.

The Priest of Life is good at training his subordinates, so he has the largest number of priests under his command.

The strongest one, the Tianyu priest Augustus, is also one of them.

"He stayed in the 'Castle in the Sky' for so long that I didn't even know when he arrived."

"Oh? In other words, the longer you priests stay there, the stronger you become. Is there such a rule?"

"Of course, the energy of 'Castle in the Sky' is the most abundant, and we will always find a way to improve it over time."

"Then Augustus' strength is compared to yours..."

"Don't mention it. I'm not on his level. He can make me surrender with just one hand."

Wendy recalled a time when she was drinking and chatting with another priest, who said these words without exaggeration.

According to Wendy's understanding, the priest had already reached the realm of "half-step saint".

If they were to face off, Wendy wouldn't last more than 0.1 second.

Even such a powerful and experienced priest claimed that he was defeated by Augustus single-handedly.

From here you can feel how terrifying the power of the Tianyu priest is.

But if one has great power but a pure heart, that is still good.

But the problem is that in recent years, this Tianyu priest seems to be secretly recruiting talents, and some priests and pillars have been brought under his command.

This move is certainly not recognized by "Castle in the Sky".

After all, everyone serves the principles of heaven. Do you want to set up your own faction? Isn't that just looking for trouble?

However, in recent years, justice has been in a long dream and unable to interfere with Augustus's behavior.
