"Boyang, do you want to go home?"

"Go home...hehe, think about it, who doesn't want to go home? It's just...I have asked my brother to go home. You still have to have someone to accompany you here, right?"

"..."

no answer.

After a long time, there was only a heavy sigh.

...

"Brother Yaksha, brother Yaksha! Wake up!"

"...Boyang?"

"Look, look over there... there is a silver light flashing over there, is there someone there?!"

"Silver...light?"

"Yes! Cheer up and let's go see it together... Yes, let's go see it together. Cheer up!"

"..."

no answer.

After a long time, only a slight sigh remained.

...

The silver light does exist.

It got here before them and stayed here longer than they did.

So, what is it?

As someone who volunteered to be the bait, Boyang didn't care about all this.

The moment the plan succeeded, he was actually dead.

In other words, he was already dead when he entrusted his wish to return home to his younger brother.

but...

The light that had been flashing not far away still made his extremely weak heart a little concerned.

"Then, in the last moment of your life, you'd better not leave any regrets."

Boyang struggled to get up, passed over his comrades who had completely lost consciousness, and headed towards the light over there.

One step, two steps, three steps.

With every step he takes, his eyes will become darker, and with every step he takes, his soul will leave his body.

After an unknown amount of time, the alchemist stopped.

He is no longer in this body.

But a few seconds later, the body suddenly took steps again and moved forward.

At the first step, "he" stumbled.

Maybe it's because the surrounding terrain is uneven, or maybe it's because the body has reached its limit and is only moving forward with some kind of strength.

In the second step, "his" steps were still trembling, but he walked fairly smoothly.

In the third step, "he" seemed to be back to normal and striding forward.

the fourth step...

He has reached the place where the light rises.

——It was a long spear, which held up a glimmer of light in this dark space.

Then, he walked over and gently touched the spear with a pair of calloused hands.

...

Hundreds of years ago, a large-scale earthquake occurred in the Liyue area. According to investigations, its source was in the Stratayan Abyss area.

Interestingly, this earthquake did not bring any terrible disaster to the Liyue people. Instead, it destroyed some difficult-to-break nodes in the Stratayan Abyss, which was more conducive to the Liyue people's reclamation of the Stratayan Abyss.

The only victim should be the Alchemist family, which was in its heyday a hundred years ago. At that time, their bases were spread in all directions, with a large complex of buildings in the center of Liyue and many training grounds in the suburbs.

However, these training grounds were without exception destroyed during the earthquake, and all training facilities were completely destroyed to an extent that could never be repaired.

For the alchemist family at that time, the most painful thing was not that these training grounds were destroyed.

What really shocked them was the death of two young alchemist geniuses in the earthquake.

One of them died trying to save civilians fleeing the earthquake, the other tried to save the training ground and used alchemy to prop up the shield, and finally died of exhaustion.

At that time, the core members of the Alchemist family, the Alchemists with considerable power, had already retreated to a safe location.

After experiencing this incident, many tribesmen advocated that they should go out to rescue others.

——In fact, the alchemists did the same thing. They took out their magic weapons and went to all the places where people were affected by the earthquake. Before the official power of Liyue arrived, they had already started rescue activities.

But for some reason, the earthquake seemed to be targeting the alchemist.

Aftershocks hit, huge rocks rolled down the mountain, and even suddenly violent rock elemental creatures...

After the earthquake, Liyue officials conducted statistics.

A shocking content came out.

The number of people who died in the Alchemist family was greater than the total number of civilians who died due to this earthquake.

...

Underneath the layer of rock.

That space has collapsed, and everything is buried inside.

The Yaksha brothers who called themselves "Fushe" have slept underground, and all the Qianyan Army soldiers who voluntarily came to the underground with Boyang have also closed their eyes.

Boyang himself also left, and now he only has one body left, a body that is no longer enough to be called a [human].

The only thing that has changed may be that there are no enemies in the place they are guarding.

They can go home.

The silver spear has disappeared, and as the place collapsed, it also left this place.

As a weapon created with the power of a world, it inherently carries the wishes and ideals of the entire world.

Break the darkness and bring light.

And it did.

It's just that... this wish may not be as beautiful as people think, or what it brings may not be in line with human imagination.

After the warrior throws that shot, he will die.

But at first, he wanted to die in the bath of light, but in the end, he fell from the tower and died in the darkness.

A foolish martyr.

Then, it came to this world, to the very bottom of this world, the very bottom that humans can reach.

Just wait here.

And now, it's waiting.

A person whose strength is far inferior to that of a warrior, but whose will is extremely firm and who can walk in front of it with just a trace of faith.

So...

fulfill his wish.

Just like the alchemist a hundred years ago.

...

The middle-level mine in the Strata Abyss is the largest in scale, because in the layout of the entire mine, it is an important hub location, and everyone needs to pass here whether going up or down.

Whether it's the Qianyan Army or the treasure-thief group that sneaked in, if they want to go deeper, they have to take the road to the middle-level mine.

Xiuji is very smart. There are not many people in his team. He only brings his confidants and people who are familiar with the Strata Abyss.

Moreover, they are equipped with abundant supplies, so even if they encounter accidents or changes, they can survive here for a long time.

But even so, he did not expect what the mid-level mine would look like now.

Groups of fog enveloped the entire mine, and the lumen stone used for lighting did not cause a splash when thrown in. No one could be sure what kind of monster was inside.

"Have you detected anything?" Xiuji said, looking at the fog in front of him.

"No, leader... Even if I try my best, I can't detect anything inside."

The only spiritual confidant shook his head, there was nothing he could do.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Xiuji shook his head.

"Let's go."
