Chapter 321 The war ends
"Ahhhh!" Mo Ran clenched his fists and smashed them on his head. Compared to the pain inside, the external pain was nothing.
"Why, why?" He kept asking, but he didn't know what he was asking. There was a void in his heart, but he didn't know what was missing.
“Justice, justice…”
Mo Ran stood up and kept repeating these two words in a daze, his eyes bulging as if they were about to pop out.
Endless murderous intent rose up in his mind, and there was only one thought left in his mind, to attack Sky Island and kill Tianli, kill Tianli!
This idea was implanted in his mind and had become deeply rooted. Everything in front of him shattered. His consciousness became a little blurred, and then in the blink of an eye, he appeared in the original place.
Tianli's holy body was right in front of him. He could only see the outline of his face. A smile appeared on his face and he said, "Congratulations, you passed the test. Even if you make two different choices, you still want to kill me."
"What did you do just now?" Mo Ran spoke with a hoarse voice.
Tianli sighed: "For this continent, there is a better successor, that is you, the future Tianli, Mo Ran!"
Mo Ran opened his eyes wide, and quickly swung his arms and threw out a punch, but he blocked it easily. It seemed that in a short period of time, the difference in injuries between the two sides had changed.
"Don't be alarmed. In fact, I have been following the anti-sky operation you planned. Judging from the arrangements, your ideas are all correct. There is no big problem."
Tianli reached out his hand and gently tapped the forehead of the man in black, then continued: "Ever since the Maintainer fought with you, I have been observing you and found that you are quite powerful, so I want you to be the next Tianli."
"Excuse me, do you accept it?"
Mo Ran was stunned and lay on the ground with a dull look in his eyes. His long-time enemy had become a senior who was testing him. Could it be that the life-and-death battle just now was fake?
"Do you have a lot of questions? Don't worry, I will explain them to you slowly." Tianli supported his chin with both hands, sat cross-legged on the ground, and narrated the cause and effect of the whole matter in a storytelling tone.
"I am Tianli. Actually, I am the last remnant of the soul of the original man Phanes. After this remnant of soul merged with the Crown of Reason, I was born."
“But back then, I couldn’t act as freely as I do now.” As he spoke, Tianli glanced at the crack on the Crown of Reason, and his face seemed to be filled with a smile, but unfortunately no one could see it.
Mo Ran slowed down, thinking that he was a lamb to be slaughtered anyway, so he asked straightforwardly: "Can a person's will be affected by his own things? And it seems that this is not what was said in the previous events of the sun and the moon?"
"If the soul is complete enough, of course it won't happen. But if it weren't for the power of the Crown of Truth, that remnant soul might not have survived until today."
Tianli looked away from the Crown of Principle, not feeling surprised, and continued, "And you also believe the so-called truth that came from me?"
"Alas, but dependence has its pros and cons. While I am able to survive, the Crown of Reason is also imprisoning me. My own self is slowly disappearing."
"I have become the impartial and selfless law of nature. All beings are treated equally in my eyes. Nothing is more important than extending the existence of Teyvat."
Mo Ran spoke again, without any intention of blaming or questioning, but simply stating the facts: "That's why you destroyed so many civilizations, leaving only the seven countries today."
"There's nothing we can do about it. If we don't destroy them, the entire Teyvat will be destroyed. You know the dangers of forbidden knowledge. It's terrifying!"
In the second half of this sentence, Tianli's tone became much heavier, and it was obvious that he still had some fear.
Mo Ran sighed slightly. Humans are always in awe and curiosity about unknown things. They can't help but wonder what will happen when the next step is achieved. Little do they know that this is a sign of the coming of hell.
"Well, you probably have something else you want to ask, right?" Tianli said slowly, looking at the man in black.
Mo Ran pondered for a moment, then asked, "What is this starry sky used for? Is it used to control Teyvat's prison?"
"It's a kind of cage, or you could say it's one of the things in this world." Tianli explained, "The original power of the humans who first entered Teyvat will disappear."
"So I used the power of the Crown of Reason to create a system to increase strength, that is, the Fate Star. You can improve your strength through your own practice and perception, but the starry sky is limited, and not everyone can construct a powerful Fate Star trajectory, which is similar to the Eye of God. But the survival of the fittest is the law of nature."
"What can I do? For example, the local immortals in Teyvat also pay attention to the qualifications of immortality. There is also the martial arts created by humans, which also depends on the aptitude and effort. No matter where you are, this difference exists and cannot be eliminated!"
Mo Ran showed emotion on his face. Along the way, the changes he had seen in various regions were indeed enormous. Having strength could decide everything. It seemed that this was an unchanging law that would last forever.
"Since this is the power system of the Teyvatian people, then why do Sora and Ying... also have life stars?"
"Because Teyvat's tolerance is so strong that even if I don't want them to, they can still intervene in this starry sky."
Mo Ran's eyes froze slightly. He said he didn't want to. Could it be that He had never stopped him? But when he thought about his previous words, there was nothing wrong with it.
"It seems that I have said almost everything that needs to be said, so it's time to say goodbye." The light on Tianli's body began to dissipate, and his outline became blurred little by little and could no longer be seen clearly.
"By the way, the other Dragon Kings are actually all over Teyvat. As for where they are, you'll have to rely on yourself if you want to find them!"
"Goodbye, world. Goodbye, me. And goodbye... Mo Ran, I'll never see you again." Tianli's figure disappeared, and his words fell to the ground and turned into nothingness.
The restraints of the Crown of Reason were instantly released as the laws of nature disappeared, and it turned back into a small object, floating beside a figure in black, waiting to be summoned.
After a short silence, Mo Ran floated in the air, began to recover from his injuries, and then stood up.
He stepped forward and arrived at the Palace of Heavenly Principle. He walked straight to the throne and watched without saying a word. The Crown of Principle behind him was still there, but the crack had disappeared.
I saw the throne in front of me, emitting a pure white light, as if the person sitting on it should have such temperament and have great ambitions to care about the world.
Mo Ran did not hesitate. He turned around and sat on the throne. In an instant, his whole body was filled with incomparably powerful power, as if this world could be destroyed with just a thought.
A panel prompt also popped up in my mind.
[Congratulations to the host for achieving the final goal and becoming the new Tianli. Congratulations. 】
"System..." Mo Ran started to speak, but then stopped, because the achievement of the final goal would mean that this old friend who had always been with him might leave.
[Host, what's the matter? Feel free to ask, the system will tell you. ]
"Can you tell me what kind of being you are?"
[Of course.] The system's mechanical voice disappeared, replaced by a man's deep voice, probably a man in his fifties with an easygoing temperament.
"You can think of me as a strong person in thousands of worlds. Mo Ran, I should also thank you for letting me see a wonderful life along the way."
"Thousands and thousands of worlds?" Mo Ran asked doubtfully, "Are there many more worlds out there?"
"Yes, there is a world outside this world. I am just a relatively tenacious poor creature among them. I live in a world where beauties have withered bones and friends and relatives have passed away. I can only rely on observing the lives of others to get some comfort."
"Mo Ran, you are one of the few people who can let me personally help you change the direction of your future."
"Sure enough, I'm not the only one being observed." Mo Ran said with a smile.
"Well, I have observed countless people, but you are a very interesting example among them, and the one whose experience is most similar to mine."
"At the beginning, I saw that you were alone and helpless, so I brought you back from this world, and transformed you into a system identity that is often mentioned in another world. I wanted to see if this journey would be exciting. You are very good and did not let me down."
Mo Ran smiled, his ordinary face was as warm as a spring breeze, and he said softly: "Thank you, system, thank you all the time!"
"We each take what we need. Haha, it's getting late. All good things must come to an end. Let's say goodbye now. Whether we can meet again depends on fate."
"But before you leave, I'll help you improve your strength first, to prevent you from offending the little creatures around you one day and destroying you and the world."
Before he finished speaking, the aura in Mo Ran's body rose again, growing like it was from the top of a mountain straight into the sky, with seemingly no end.
After a while, the system slowly said: "That's about it. One finger can destroy the sun, moon and stars, and one palm can shatter a world. It's enough to crush that little thing."
"Well, remember not to tell anyone about me. I'm leaving now. Bye!"
"Goodbye, system..." Mo Ran leaned on the throne, feeling a little melancholy, but he couldn't put it into words. It wasn't sadness, either.
The departure of the system that had always been with me, which seemed to have a very low presence but was indispensable, meant that I would have to face everything in the future by myself.
Mo Ran sighed quietly, adapting to this extremely terrifying power, and then with a slight movement of his mind, the stars thousands of miles away showed signs of being about to collapse.
Such power made him excited, but at the same time he solemnly warned himself not to use it rashly, otherwise it would be a disaster for the continent of Teyvat.
He carefully investigated the continent of Teyvat and confirmed that Dotore was indeed dead and could not die anymore. Then he eliminated the wear and tear on the seven gods and the Dragon King Rutuo.
Then, Mo Ran used the power of water element to wash himself clean, and then changed into the Mond-style black windbreaker suit that Mi Nu had imitated.
He notified the demons and rulers who were still fighting and asked them to stop fighting immediately, then he disappeared.
By the time the demons and rulers arrived at the palace, the figure in black was nowhere to be seen. Several days of fighting had left them badly injured, but the moment they entered the palace, they recovered to their peak condition.
Paimon, whose strength is different from before, looked back at the two travelers. The experience of killing the Maintainer who had lost its power supply together just now made her want to accompany these two companions for a little longer.
But when the Ruler of Time Istaru came over, Paimon couldn't help but bite his lower lip lightly: "Myself, I'm ready..."
"What are you talking about? You called me Istaru. It was fine if you were rude when you were little, but now that you've grown up you still haven't changed. Do you want me to kick you out?"
The ruler of time, with a pair of white wings, silver hair like frost and a flawless face, lectured with a stern face.
Paimon was slightly stunned, then hugged the other party and said with a smile: "Yes, Istaru."
"Hey, that's good. From the time you were in the sea and had nothing to do to seal yourself, you were already Paimon, not a split soul!"
Istaru patted her on the back, his tone sharp but gentle.
As for the other rulers, although they were helpless, there was nothing they could do. It was the will of heaven that brought about the change of dynasties, and they had no choice but to obey the orders of heaven. The continent of Teyvat would probably be better in the future.
Morax put his hands behind his back, silently looking at the throne that emitted a soft dark light. He looked like a person sitting on it, very easy-going, smooth and gentle.
Out in the dark sea, the outer sea demons felt the reappearance of the breath of heaven and were so frightened that their hearts and gallbladders broke. They immediately broke apart and fled back to the depths of the dark sea.
The defense forces left behind on the continent of Teyvat cheered loudly.
