Stratified rock abyss, upper mine field.

After listening to the self-narration of the stranger who called himself [Gangnir Extended Consciousness], Ningzhe and the other two fell silent, thinking about the possibilities in his words.

Obviously, the [human] that suddenly appeared was definitely not a human being, at least not a pure human being.

Because no ordinary person can reach the underground.

And those who can bypass the official personnel of the Strata Abyss and arrive here will definitely not just come to tell a weapon these words. They must have a bigger purpose - than persuading a weapon, their easier choice is obviously

Take possession of this weapon directly.

therefore......

Ruotuo Dragon King...

Ningzhe had already guessed it when he let the rock dragon lizard go.

He knew that this change had absolutely nothing to do with the Dragon King, and he also knew that the Dragon King's delay in breaking through the seal was related to the trace of the earth's power that he had leaked before.

Therefore, he always hid the power of the earth veins taken from the dark world. Even if he had to forcefully use this power, he would only use the power of the earth veins collected on Teyvat.

He knew deeply that Ruotuo Dragon King was a giant dragon born with the earth's veins.

If the ley lines are damaged, his spirit and strength will also be damaged; accordingly, if the ley lines are strengthened, his strength will also be enhanced.

To be fair, after the Dragon King senses that there is a force that can make up for the damage to the earth's veins due to humans, he will definitely find it at all costs and then use it to repair the earth's veins.

As for other things, that is secondary. After all, Dragon King Ruotuo has suffered extremely serious wear and tear, and no one can guarantee that he still has the ability to think rationally.

——But that is obviously partial.

Because it was obvious that the Dragon King had taken actions a hundred years ago, and those methods were probably related to Gangnir.

He did not expect that the Dragon King had planned this move a hundred years ago...

A hundred years ago, it should have been his weakest period.

And even at this moment, he will devote his strength to guide this weapon and prepare for today a hundred years later...

No wonder Gangnir would have the idea of ​​"leaving" here... to the point where this idea overwhelms its own thinking and outweighs its instinct.

If the person who initially influenced it was King Ruotuo, then many things can be explained.

But then things become more complicated.

Ningzhe raised his head and looked at the stranger.

After he recounted these experiences, he fell into silence. The expression on the masked face was unclear, but Ningzhe knew that he was looking at her.

...Yes, he is looking at himself, Ningzhe is extremely sure of this.

And he has no hostility. Even after telling all these things, he still has no hostility.

"..."

For a moment, Ningzhe didn't know what to say.

After saying these words in an extremely vivid manner, he fell silent and looked directly at Ningzhe, making Ningzhe a little nervous.

These things are definitely not made up, so the person in front of him is Gangnir's consciousness - although its body is not present at the scene, this does not mean that he has no other means.

"Then..." After pondering for a moment, Ningzhe finally spoke: "Now, you think that [humanity's] idea is extremely correct and worthy of your following, don't you?"

"Of course..." He nodded, but quickly shook his head: "No."

"Huh?" Ningzhe frowned.

What does it mean?

Do these things that existed in ancient times especially like to play riddles?

Normally, Ningzhe would be in the mood to have a good chat with him, but now after learning about Ruotuo's plan, an unspeakable irritation lingers in his heart.

[Gangnir] was Ruoduo Dragon King's plan a hundred years ago, and now it has been fulfilled... So what will be his next move?

Will he break through the seal in a state of near prosperity and then bring disaster to Liyue Port?

So...

As a human being, as a human being recognized by Zhongli, how much time does he have left?

Osel did not make him panic, and facing the God of Thunder did not frighten him. Even the haze of the dark world could not cover his eyes...

Because he knows he can do it and he can protect everything he can protect.

But now...

With his trump card exposed, Ruo Tuo's first target will not be him.

The resentful Rock Dragon King's greatest hatred is humans, Liyue Port, and all human civilizations that have caused harm to him.

He can destroy a village with one casual blow, and the earthquake and tsunami he causes can easily destroy Liyue Port...

Ningzhe is not afraid of Dragon King Ruotuo.

But he was afraid of the disaster brought by this Dragon King.

"..."

For some reason, Ningzhe's eyes suddenly shifted to the white orb above the stranger's head.

This thing... exudes an extremely pure aura, like a piece of white paper, containing nothing but pure power.

Because it is a piece of white paper and has extremely strong plasticity, anyone can dye it with their own color...that's why it is called [original embryo].

"...I think what he said is right." Suddenly, he continued: "Isn't it right? Those of you who know the complete process...don't you think what he said is right?"

"Or do you think that [I] should stay underground and stay here from beginning to end, and cannot leave even if self-awareness is born?"

Having said this, the orb on his head seemed to shine a little brighter.

"...No." Upon seeing this, Daine shook his head. He focused his eyes on the mask and said in a calm tone: "To be fair, I think this human's words are not wrong. I believe most people will think so.

This is correct because he does take care of the thoughts of a [nascent consciousness]."

Care, not oppression.

Choose, not impose.

"Ha...I'm beginning to appreciate you, a broken human being."

He looked at Dyne, not hiding the admiration in his eyes.

But his words made Ningzhe and Mandrill frown.

Broken human being?

Ningzhe knew that Dain was a survivor of the great changes in Camrea five hundred years ago. He also knew that Dain had used some means that could not be revealed to survive until now. He even knew that Dain was carrying something that could be called the shackles of fate.

curse.

But does the word "incomplete" have some...

However, Dain had no reaction to this word. He just nodded slightly and then stopped talking.

"So...what about you? The one with the power of karma..." He paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about what words to use to describe this green-haired boy.

In his eyes, Ningzhe is a special human being, Daiin is a disabled human being, and this boy...

——In his world, this kind of existence does not yet exist.

"...My idea is very simple."

After a moment of silence, Mandrill spoke.

"From a spectator's perspective, he is correct."

"but you..."

Mandrill raised his head, and a green spear appeared in his hand.
