Chapter 472

"Cultivating... this is how it is! Drinking dew and swallowing medicine to purify the body and mind—this is the cultivation method of immortals! Besides, resources in the mountains are not as abundant as in the city, so you certainly can't have delicacies every day!"

"Stare--"

"Don't look at me like that! Ganyu went through the same thing back then!"

"Stare--"

"... I'll go get something to eat and make you a late-night snack later."

The Xianyun clouds transformed into cranes and flew away.

This class cannot be audited.

Xianyun strongly suspects that Guizhong was not satisfied after toying with her and Ping'er's dignity and purity, so he deliberately tormented her during the lesson!

I'm outta here.

Anyway, while Cloud Retainer eloquence is not as good as Dust King's, it is enough among old friends, so there is no need for me to listen to her lectures!

At the same time, the Descendant Anqi held a miniature four-legged stone beast in her hand, stroking it thoughtfully.

"These are the dragons of the Teyvat world. They are different from our system, but also significantly different from the Demon God and the Heavenly Principles. Their most distinctive feature is their exceptionally close connection with the world."

Let me explain in detail.

"Well, on the surface, the Daedric Demon God are also closely connected to the Teyvat world, possessing the power to influence the world, and their lives and deaths are closely related to the Ley Line... But dragons are different; the connection between dragons and the world is more fundamental. If we separate the sky and Ley Line structure shaped by the Heavenly Principles from the Teyvat world, then the Demon God can only leave with the sky and Ley Line structure, while the dragons remain in Teyvat."

[A native dragon, a foreign Demon God?]

Anqi nodded, agreeing with the other Anqi's summary.

In other words, if the structures related to the Heavenly Principles were removed, the Demon God might perish, or at least lose much of themselves. However, dragons are still dragons; they belong to Teyvat, not to the Heavenly Principles.

Another Anqi further summarized the differences between dragons and Demon God.

Anqi, the Descendant, nodded again.

"Dragons belong to Teyvat, Demon God belong to the Heavenly Principles, which makes the ancient history clearer. Teyvat was originally the world of dragons, then the Heavenly Principles descended, defeated and took away the world of dragons. Afterwards, the Heavenly Principles created structures such as the False Sky and the World Tree, greatly changing the environment and making Teyvat the world of humans."

But even the laws of Heavenly Principles seem to have their limits. Even with a complete transformation, Teyvat remains fundamentally a world of dragons, still sustaining their existence and power.

"Or rather, dragons should be a part of the world itself. Forcibly removing them would only cause the world to collapse, which would be a loss. Thus, the Archon War and the descent of the Seven Archons came about. Heavenly Principles used a plan that lasted for thousands of years to replace the seven dragons with the Seven Archons and replace the heart of heaven with his own heart."

That's a big spender.

Anqi Faction nodded in agreement.

No wonder he was the one who forced himself to stay at the beginning.

I, Anqi Faction, am willing to acknowledge that you are qualified to fight the ultimate dark boss.

The Descendant Anqi stroked the dragon's body, which had been shrunk using spatial technology, and revealed a dangerous smile.

"To substitute one's own heart for the will of Heaven is truly a brilliant idea. If Heavenly Principles can do it, then I can do it too!"

[If He could use Seven Archons instead of seven dragons to stabilize and control the world, then we can also use seven dragon avatars instead of Seven Archons; the principle is the same.]

"He has already prepared a strategy for us."

There's nothing new under the sun. Since the Heavenly Principles have taken away the dragon's world, the invaders can naturally take away the world of the Heavenly Principles as well. That's called... well, isn't that a bit much?

Anqi Faction hesitated for a moment.

Thinking about it carefully, Heavenly Principles didn't actually do anything too outrageous.

He forcibly kept Anqi here, but in conclusion, Anqi didn't lose out.

Furthermore, given the Great Void Sword God and the Honkai Energy, it's hard to say whether Heavenly Principles will prevail. Objectively speaking, it's difficult to say which side went too far.

Anqi came here only to seek knowledge. Was it necessary to go so far as to steal away a world that someone had cultivated for tens of thousands of years?
