The tone of this world is dark, so even a glimmer of light will stand out.

Whether it was the glimmer of light before or the power of the earth veins that Ningzhe now uses to draw the earth veins, they all fall into this category, and they can illuminate the world to a certain extent.

As long as it can shine and dispel the darkness that gathers here all year round, then it can be called [light], even if it has no such meaning.

Ningzhe had thought that if the golden power of earth veins appeared in large numbers around the tower, it would definitely become very conspicuous - coupled with the extremely rich aura of the power of earth veins, it couldn't even be said to be conspicuous.

A piece of power was placed directly in front of everyone.

This is a real leyline. Although it is different from the huge network of leylines that crisscross Teyvat, the power is still essentially the same. Even because of the small quantity, they become more pure after being concentrated.

If it were another person, when he successfully drew the leyline map, he would probably directly use this power for his own use... After all, possessing this level of power is equivalent to the evolution of the life level.

Transforming from a [mortal] to a [controller of the earth's veins], this is a temptation that no careerist on the continent of Teyvat can refuse.

It's a pity that Ningzhe has never had such an idea, and he is even thinking about another thing now.

From the moment this power truly enveloped the tower, Daine's expression relaxed. At that moment, he seemed very comfortable, as if the burden he had been carrying for the past five hundred years had been lifted.

Why does Daine's expression relax? Could it be that the curse he carries can be affected by the power of the earth's veins, or even be eliminated by the power of the earth's veins?

If this is the case... Can I, who has almost mastered the earth's veins here, use this power to give Dyne a gift...

"You don't have to think like that. The curse has penetrated deeply into my soul. Forcibly breaking it will only make me dissipate." As if he saw Ningzhe's thoughts, Dain just shook his head, "The power of the earth's veins can indeed play a role.

Suppressing the effect of this curse and staying next to it will indeed relieve my pain a lot...but it can only relieve the effect. If you really want to attack the curse, then you have no intention of attacking me at the same time.

.”

"Five hundred years have completely integrated me with this curse...I carry it, it belongs to me, like a brand engraved into my soul."

"..." Hearing this, Ningzhe was silent for a while, then nodded, "...I see, I didn't think carefully."

"No...it's not your problem."

After hearing Ningzhe's words, Daiin's expression did not change much. Perhaps it was because he was in good condition at the moment, so he was willing to say more: "In the distant beginning, I did think about using various methods to get myself out of this situation.

Every curse, every corner of Teyvat, every knowledge...I've known it.

"It's just a pity that five hundred years have passed and I haven't been able to discover anything. I have even gradually become one with this thing."

"The curse is not a virus, a stubborn disease that can be cured... It has been engraved into the instinct of living things from the very beginning. Unless it is cracked with a higher level of power, there is no way."

"Trying to force a cure... will only bring more pain and disaster."

It was rare for Daiin to say so many words at once, telling Ningzhe all about his efforts in the past five hundred years and his current thoughts.

"So... is this one of the reasons why you have been tracking down the Abyss Order? They are trying to find ways to restore the cursed people in various ways?"

"That's right."

Faced with this question, Dain did not choose to remain silent or perfunctory, but nodded very seriously.

He has been following the traces of the Abyss Cult, and this is one of the important reasons.

After five hundred years, the survivors of Kanria who were cursed and turned into monsters have completely coexisted with this curse. No one can survive by stripping off their own flesh and blood. However, this is what the Abyss Cult did.

.

Must those cursed people die in extreme pain?

"..."

Thinking of these words, Ningzhe sighed, and then looked at the ancient pagoda not far away that was completely wrapped in golden light.

If one day... if one day, Liyue also suffers from such a situation, and as a person like Dai Yin who "has been cursed but still stays awake in some way"... then he will be like Dai Yin.

Is it because of doing this, or is it like the Abyss Order running around trying to purify the curse?

Ningzhe is still unable to answer this question because it is too heavy.

It was so heavy that...he couldn't even imagine such a scene.

Dainsreb was a powerful man known as the "Sword of the End of Light" in Camrea. He was also respected and admired by the people of Camrea...but in the end, he still chose such a path.

Maybe try your best to create an opportunity that allows everyone to escape the curse. Returning to this world as a normal, noble human being... is a very courageous and great decision.

But the cost of this decision was that more people died in agony.

Perhaps... it would be a very cowardly decision to just let the people who have coexisted with the curse live as monsters and end their miserable lives without making any changes...

But such a decision will allow people who have been suffering for hundreds of years to leave quietly and peacefully in the end...

The Abyss Cult chose the former, and Dyne chose the latter.

No one can criticize whether their choice is right or wrong, and no one can question whether the actions they made because of this choice are just...

So...if it were you, what decision would you make?

"..."

Seeing Ningzhe's look, Daiin seemed to have guessed what the white-haired boy was thinking, but he was unable to enlighten or persuade him.

He can only think about this kind of thing by himself, and no one else can give him any guidance...

And after he came up with his answer, it was time to actually choose his position.

A human being who can master the power of earth veins...will he stand on his side, or will he choose the position of the Abyss Order?

If he chooses to stand on his side, then there is no doubt that he will have a great help when he fights against the Abyss Order.

And if he finally chooses the Abyss Order...

So...
