Genshin Impact: Responsible for Strengthening the Army

After listening to Ye Lan's words, Ningguang frowned, stood up and walked to the bookshelf.

I don't know what mechanism was activated, but the bricks and stones on the ground moved, and a tunnel appeared.

Ningguang walked down first, followed by Ye Lan. The eternal lamps on both sides of the tunnel were covered with talismans, which were obviously immortal magic.

At the end of the tunnel is an archive room, where countless ancient books, letters, and contracts are stored. Under the protection of the immortal talismans, these precious archives have been well preserved.

Ningguang came to a file rack and found a file bag. She opened the bag and found a stone tablet with some Teyvat characters written on it in dark red blood.

"Huan Huan was the former king, who abused the king and slandered him."

"It collapsed on the vast land, and all the flourishing gardens were destroyed."

"The body of the god has no tomb, but his enemies have made a monument."

"We are comrades in arms, shining with divine power!"

(Our once mighty king was framed as a guilty person by the tyrannical monarch. He died on his vast land, and the once prosperous territory was completely destroyed. His divine body has no tomb belonging to him, only a tombstone made of hatred. We all fight together to proclaim the majesty of our glorious god!)

After Ye Lan finished reading the words on the stone tablet, she asked Ning Guang in confusion: "You brought me here just to do this for me?"

The writing on this piece of stone looked shocking, but Ye Lan had come into contact with many blood-stained things like this, so naturally she didn't feel anything.

Ningguang's expression did not change. She just said calmly, "Your ancestors once faced them. This is something your ancestors left behind after exhausting their last bit of sanity. Are you sure you don't want to take a look?"

"what?"

Ye Lan was born into a family of sorcerers, and she is the descendant of a hero who once fought against the disaster.

The Layered Abyss is the ancient Liyue battlefield of the Kanreya Black Tide, where millions of people cried blood and the Yaksha immortals also perished.

Ye Lan's ancestor Bo Yang was buried here. Another ancestor Rong Zhao had fallen into madness when he returned from the Layered Rock Abyss, and the Taiwei Yipan that was taken into the Layered Rock Abyss was nowhere to be found.

As for the existence of the "Xuyou Cult", it was an old story handed down in the family. She knew the characteristics of the believers in this cult, and she also knew that her ancestors went crazy because of this cult.

But what she didn't know was that Rong Zhao actually left behind some personal belongings, which were included in the archives of the General Affairs Department.

Just as Ye Lan took the stone tablet to read, Ningguang recounted some old stories.

"In the battle of the Layered Rock Abyss, the Nameless Yaksha teamed up with your ancestors Boyang and Rong Zhao to imprison the monsters that invaded Liyue in an underground palace. Yaksha and Boyang were trapped there, while Rong Zhao led a team of Thousand Rocks Army to go out for help..."

Beneath the layers of rock and abyss, there is an underground palace.

"Shangxian! Boyang! Wait for me to come back!"

Rong Zhao shouted anxiously at the closed door of the underground palace.

A group of Thousand Rocks soldiers rushed through the tunnels of the Layered Abyss, their target was Liyue Harbor. They were not deserters, they were going to the outside world to find reinforcements that could rescue the Yasha and Thousand Rocks soldiers trapped at the bottom of the abyss.

After overcoming many difficulties and dangers, just as they emerged from the darkness of the mouth of the abyss, what awaited them was not sunlight and reinforcements, but a group of masked people.

"Ministers of the tyrant, you will not be able to escape from here today!"

Dozens of talisman papers burned in the air and turned into thick black gas, enveloping everyone. A blood-red light appeared on the masks.

"Qianyan Army, form a formation!"

At Rong Zhao's command, the Qianyan Army formed a formation to defend against the enemy. Although they had been exhausted from the journey, it was absolutely easy to defeat a group of ordinary criminals with so many well-trained Qianyan Army soldiers.

But they were defeated, and completely defeated. After inhaling the black gas, the masked man's attack power became very strong and he had a strong self-healing ability. However, the Qianyan Army lost their minds and fell into madness in the black mist.

"How could you... do this? Who... are you?"

Rong Zhao covered his head and asked in great pain, "These people in front of him dared to wantonly massacre the Thousand Rock Army on the land of Liyue. They were definitely not people who were looking for money. They might be villains who intended to subvert Liyue."

"The Rock Demon killed our god. You are all his subordinates. We will repay this thousand-year hatred with your blood!"

The red light on the face of a masked man dimmed and he walked in front of Rong Zhao.

"The former king, Huan Huan, was a cruel ruler who framed the emperor. He died in the vast land, and all the thriving gardens were destroyed. His body has no grave, but his enemies have built a monument. We are all comrades in arms, and our divine power shines brightly!"

The masked man who walked in front of Rong Zhao shouted loudly. When the surrounding thugs heard his shout, the red light on their faces became brighter and their attacks became more fierce.

Along with this shout, thirty-two words suddenly appeared in Rong Zhao's mind, echoing in his mind like the hissing of a poisonous snake.

"You are the leader of this army, right? I won't kill you. I will let you watch them being cut into pieces. Your future is all false, and we will go to the eternal land!"

The masked man squatted on the ground, looking at Rong Zhao with interest. No one knew what expression he had under the mask.

At this moment, the sky and the earth changed color, and a dragon roar resounded through the world.

A golden-brown hornless dragon swooped down from the sky, tearing the masked men to pieces and dispersing the black fog.

The remains of the masked man's body turned into ashes on the ground and drifted in the air. However, the Qianyan Army, who had just inhaled the black mist, still knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands in pain, resisting the erosion of the black mist.

"Immortal, no, Emperor, please save them. There is still the Rock Abyss. Shangxian, Boyang and the others are still underground!"

The giant dragon transformed into a human form and walked towards Rong Zhao. In a trance, Rong Zhao vaguely remembered that the Emperor of Rock King seemed to appear in the form of a giant dragon.

"They have been eroded away, and I am powerless. Under the layers of rock, I cannot reach them. Everything will change eventually, but not now. Tell me, who are they?"

"They...they..."

Rong Zhao's brain was almost completely corroded by the black fog. He used the last bit of his sanity and wrote down the thirty-two words spoken by the masked man on the stone with his blood-stained hands.

"They are Liyue's enemies. Aaaah!"

After saying this, Rong Zhao went completely insane, just like Qianyan Jun beside him.

"You have been least damaged. I will use my magic to calm your murderous intent and allow you to see your loved ones. As for your comrades, I'm sorry. I can only end their suffering and leave their bodies intact."

The immortal said so.

"The immortal stretched out his hand and made a seal. Rong Zhao was no longer crazy, but calmed down, but also became stupid. The Qianyan Army beside him all fell to the ground, but their eyes would never close again."

Ningguang finished telling the whole story. Ye Lan's expression didn't change much, but she was very surprised in her heart.

"I don't even know these things. How do you know them?"

After all, anyone would be shocked if someone else told them everything about their ancestors in such detail. Ye Lan's reaction even seemed a little dull.

"It was Yin Yuan. He told me: 'You have a closer relationship with Ye Lan, so it would be more appropriate for you to tell her about this matter.'"

"That Yin Yuan Xing..."

Just when Ye Lan was halfway through the questioning, she suddenly thought of something.

Yin Yuanxing is a mortal like them and it is impossible for him to have witnessed the events of that time, but the people behind Yin Yuanxing are different.

Ye Lan cast her gaze towards Ningguang, who took a deep breath and nodded.
