"I'll turn around right now."

Bai Ye hearing what Yelan said, Yelan immediately realized what was happening and quickly turned her head away.

Hu Tao was also on the shore when she saw Yelan's clothes behind a stone pillar. Hu Tao picked up the clothes and saw that even her underwear was inside, and her face couldn't help but turn red.

When she looked up at the model number, she felt a tightness in her chest.

How can it be so big?!

Hu Tao took the clothes.

With a splash, Yelan stood up from the water. Her slender figure, alluring curves, and cool, sophisticated aura left Hu Tao momentarily stunned.

Then Yelan stepped out with one slender, snow-white leg next to Hu Tao, and took out underwear from a pile of clothes to change into.

"Bai Ye, you can turn around now."

Yelan said to Bai Ye.

"Um."

When Bai Ye turned her gaze, she saw Yoru Yelan wearing only underwear.

Snow White's skin was exposed, her straight legs were covered in water droplets, her lower abdomen was flat and firm, and her arms were slender.

His face flushed slightly.

"She's shy."

Yelan smiled and said.

This adorable face made Yelan, who had been trapped and feeling depressed, happy.

Afterwards, while waiting for the water droplets on her body to dry, she asked Bai Ye and Hu Tao, "Now can you tell me how you got here?"

"Well, we learned from the outside world that you disappeared from the Chasm, and we were worried about your situation, so we came to look for you. Later, when we were outside, we met the Abyssal Apostle, and he brought us into this space. That's how we found you."

Bai Ye told Yelan the truth.

When Bai Ye heard that he had come here to find her, Yelan expression changed instantly.

He was all smiles just a moment ago, but now his brows are furrowed.

"Do you know how dangerous this place is? Coming in so easily will only put you in danger. Those members of the Abyss Order are only luring you here because they are worried Bai Ye your continued presence will be detrimental to the Abyss Order."

"But if we don't do this, how are we supposed to find you? You'll just be stuck in this place forever."

"This is something I explored myself, something I found myself, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. Bai Ye, your identity is far more important than mine. I would rather be trapped here for the rest of my life than let you encounter any danger," Yelan said to Bai Ye.

"I don't need your protection. I just did what I thought of."

"Bai Ye said with a grin," said Ye.

"Yes, it's unacceptable to ignore a friend in danger just because you have an important position."

Hu Tao also highly approves of Bai Ye's words.

Seeing their attitude, Yelan felt that they were indeed acting somewhat impulsively.

"However, it is much more comfortable to be with them than with others."

Speaking of this, she remembered something and looked to the side, saying, "Oh right, I also brought some food. Time seems to disappear here, and we don't feel hungry or thirsty. To prevent sudden bursts of appetite, you need to replenish your food regularly..."

As Yelan said this, she saw Bai Ye silently take out the Serenitea Pot and take out a pile of food from it.

Never mind what I said.

Seeing that Bai Ye Yelan plenty of food, she also took some food out of her own.

He took a few big bites.

She didn't have much food with her, so she didn't dare to eat too much. Now that she saw that Bai Ye had plenty of food, she knew she was going to eat a lot to replenish her body.

After eating a few bites, Yelan let out a long sigh.

"There are some unusual mechanisms and another space ahead. I've explored them all, but I still can't find a way out."

She said to Bai Ye.

He looked somewhat disappointed.

She was in trouble alone before, but now she has Bai Ye and Hu Tao.

Now, Yelan only hopes that she can protect Bai Ye Hu Tao a little more.

Hu Tao, Hu Tao asked Yelan, "Is that so? Then let's go take another look."

"Wait a moment, let's wait for Xiangling Ayaka."

Bai Ye plan was for everyone to go together, so that no one would be alone and encounter danger.

"What did you say!?"

Yelan was truly taken aback this time.

So, it's just the two of you coming down here?

There are six of us on this side.

Bai Ye explained to Yelan.

Yelan covered her forehead.

"You guys are really bold!"

As the group was talking, Ye Lan and the others heard footsteps and voices coming from both sides of the lake.

Bai Ye looked over.

Xiangling, Guoba, Yanfei, and Ayaka, along with two teams of people, came from the border.

Are all these roads interconnected?

Xiangling was somewhat surprised to see everyone meet.

"That should be it."

Bai Ye nodded.

Xiangling then saw Yelan and greeted her.

"Sister Yelan."

"Um."

Yelan nodded.

After greeting Yelan Lan, Xiangling Ling looked at her.

Upon discovering that she was only wearing underwear, she blushed and asked Yu:

"Sister Yelan, what's wrong with you?"

At the same time, I couldn't help but envy Yelan's figure.

Although she had a better figure than Hu Tao, she was still a small, flat-chested girl compared to Yelan.

"I just took a shower."

Yelan explained to Xiangling.

She then explained the situation at the scene to everyone.

Without the slightest hesitation, everyone prepared to move forward.

They moved quickly along the lake, Bai Ye they arrived at a stone door that looked like it could be closed at any moment but could also be opened at any time.

I've seen this in the game "Bai Ye".

"Teacher, what are your thoughts on this mechanism?"

At Bai Ye, I Guizhong asked, "What is the meaning of this?"

He wanted to see if his teacher could figure out the mechanism.

"This mechanism..."

Looking at the mechanism, Guizhong revealed a tone of surprise and doubt.

"Teacher, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Hearing the tone of Teacher Yu's voice, Bai Ye couldn't help but ask.

After examining it carefully for a while, Guizhong Bai Ye said to Ye, "This mechanism can be said to be unprecedented, because it has no technical content at all; it is full of the creator's abilities."

"So..."

"I have no choice."

Guizhong spoke with righteous indignation.

It's like a detective novel, the Guizhong you watch others create locked rooms and devise incriminating evidence to help the detective. But in this case, the suspect didn't use any traps; instead, he used a lion's roar to kill the victim.

There's nothing that Guizhong.

At this moment, Yelan explained the mechanism to the others:

"This is the mechanism I saw. However, this mechanism can only reflect what each person is most afraid of; I can't see any other mechanisms for the time being."

"You can see what people are afraid of?" Upon hearing Yelan say this, Hu Tao's face immediately showed curiosity.

"I have nothing to be afraid of..."

She had only spoken half a sentence when Bai Ye suddenly appeared and covered her mouth.

"Don't make these kinds of promises lightly."

He spoke to the Hu Tao.

Only after he finished speaking did he release Hu Tao.

Hu Tao then glanced at Bai Ye.

"Try to avoid reading light novels with this kind of 'adult' setting next time."

As she spoke, she walked up to the mechanism, wanting to see what she was afraid of.

Stone Gate of the mechanism, press the activation button, and the Stone Gate will slowly open.

Hu Tao saw that there was only one person sitting inside.

It was Bai Ye.

It 'Bai Ye exactly the same as outside.

"What's going on? How could I possibly be afraid of Bai Ye?" Hu Tao muttered speechlessly. But the next second, her gaze narrowed.

She saw the talisman affixed to the fake Bai Ye's body.

"This is the technique for making zombies."

Hu Tao's eyes narrowed.

At that moment, the Bai Ye inside spoke.

"I... I want to be free..."

There were also constant noises coming from all around.

"This herb can prolong the survival of zombies."

"He can still live a long time."

"However, one will continue to suffer..."

"Enough!"

Hu Tao shouted loudly, then quickly turned back.

She knew what it was that terrified her.

She wanted to personally deliver it to Bai Ye.

Before anyone could react, Hu Tao grabbed Bai Ye's collar and said viciously, "I'm warning you, Bai Ye, remember to let me die before you. You'll be my funeral attendant and body collector. If you dare to die first, I'll seize your soul and torture it severely. Let me tell you, our Wangsheng Funeral Parlor has many methods for dealing with souls. If you die before me, you'll have to use them all."

"I will not do that again. Don't forget, I possess the power of Gods. My lifespan is not only no match for yours, but even the Seven Archons cannot outlive me."

Bai Ye a dry laugh in comfort.

He then reached out and patted her head.

"That's more like it."

Hu Tao finally put Bai Ye down.

Then she noticed that everyone around her was looking at her, Hu Tao immediately urged the others to hurry up.

"I can't get over that hurdle. What about you guys? Go and check on me."

As she said this, she turned her gaze to Yelan.

"By the way, Yelan, what did you encounter when you went there?"

"This is a secret, I won't tell you."

Yelan smiled and said to Hu Tao.

They absolutely refused to reveal anything.

Taking advantage of this time, Yanfei and Kuki Shinobu to the Stone Gate of the mechanism one after the other.

They are similar to the characters in the game. One is afraid of the trivial matters of daily life, and the other is afraid of returning to the life of a shrine maiden controlled by her family.

They couldn't get there either.

Hu Tao looked at the remaining people. "Who's next? Xiangling? Or you?"

"Okay, I'll go."

Xiangling strode forward.

"I think what I'm afraid of is probably related to food. Maybe it's seeing a series of unpalatable dishes?"

As she spoke, the mechanism opened the Stone Gate.

Oh, it's someone I know.

Everyone's gaze fell on Bai Ye, then on the fake Bai Ye inside.

Bai Ye shrugged.

At the same time, look at this mechanism.

Hey, doesn't this count as using my image rights? Shouldn't you pay me some copyright fees?

Just as he was thinking this, Bai Ye, who was inside the door, took out a dish that looked extremely terrifying.

"It seems to be my sister's cooking."

Upon seeing the food Makoto in the 'Sanctum of Euthymia' couldn't help but exclaim.

"Mmm, it tastes pretty good."

As the fake Bai Ye inside ate, he commented on it in this way.

Everyone was puzzled by this situation.

Xiangling staggered back two steps.

She turned her head and looked at me with a frustrated expression.

Seeing his expression, Bai Ye couldn't help but ask in confusion:

"While it is indeed terrifying to be able to eat Thor's cooking and say it's delicious without batting an eye, you don't need to be this scared."

At this moment, Guoba spoke.

"Xiang, Xiangling is afraid that the most beautiful, delicious, and most important person cannot feel it."

Guoba expressed Xiangling's concerns intermittently.

She was in the middle of the Bai Ye, wanting to make something delicious for him.

However, when Bai Ye loses his ability to taste delicious food, it is undoubtedly a huge blow to Xiangling.

"I'll go take a look next."

Ayaka gritted her teeth and said to everyone.

She wanted to see what she was afraid of.

Seeing Ayaka walk towards the Stone Gate with its mechanism, Yanfei said to Kuki Shinobu, "I bet there's another Bai Ye behind that Stone Gate."

Kuki Shinobu nodded in agreement.

These people all have the same idea.

However, after opening the mechanism Stone Gate, what appeared inside was not the fake Bai Ye, but his own elder brother.

"Ayaka, Inazuma. Bai Ye has already reached Celestia, he won't be coming back. I've been poisoned and don't have much time left, the Kamisato Clan will have to rely on you from now on."

The fake Kamisato Ayato said this to Ayaka.

Ayaka arrived dejectedly.

After taking a few steps, Bai Ye patted her on the shoulder.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be afraid, nothing will happen inside. Especially your brother, I have a lot of vitality, even if he dies, I can bring him back."

"Yes, I know."

Ayaka quickly recovered after hearing Bai Ye's words of comfort.

"It all comes down to you now, Bai Ye. Come, let me see what you're afraid of?"

Hu Tao shouted at Bai Ye.

Guizhong, however, laughed and said from within Bai Ye's body:

"What would your reaction be if, after you open your door, someone says you're not tall enough or that someone took your money?"

"Teacher, it can't be that cruel, can it?"

Bai Ye's steps faltered.

"Take a look."

Guizhong smiled and looked forward to it.

Then,

Bai Ye opened the mechanism.

Behind the mechanism door, however, the scene that appeared surprised Bai Ye.

The characters featured inside are Albedo and Dottore.

No, how could I possibly be afraid of the two of them? Bai Ye thought to himself.

At this moment, Albedo spoke up, "The experiment has failed. The speed of the Abyss infection far exceeds our expectations. The destruction of Teyvat is inevitable. The entire Teyvat will soon become an area infected by the Abyss. In order to preserve our ability to fight the Abyss, we have decided to banish you to the outskirts of Teyvat."

Dottore said, "Yes, we also used the tools left behind by the Heavenly Principles to find the coordinates of the world you came from. You can use this to get back to your original world."

Seeing this, Bai Ye clenched his fists involuntarily.

Yanfei couldn't help but ask, "Is Bai Ye afraid of the destruction of Teyvat?"

"No, he's worried that he's letting everyone down. Besides, he doesn't have a way to repay them."

Hu Tao then spoke up.

If Teyvat disappears, then what's the point of Bai Ye doing anything?

Is revenge the only option?

But can they see it?

At this moment, Bai Ye laughed.

He went inside, looked at Albedo and Dottore, examined them for a moment, and smiled as he said to them, "Hmm, escaping is indeed a good idea, but I suggest Albedo go instead. Although he's not as good-looking as me, he's probably quite popular, and he could probably live well even in my hometown. By the way, there are quite a few hair loss treatments in my hometown, so you should take care to prevent hair loss! As for Dottore, don't do anything. Although I guess you're a kind-hearted person because you talk so gently, your kindness is only relative. I'm still worried about you going to Earth to become some kind of mad scientist."

"Aren't you going to run away?"

The illusion of Albedo asked Bai Ye in confusion.

"Yes, I'm not leaving! Do you not understand my identity as a Chinese? When faced with a crisis, we never think of finding a place to hide, but rather face it head-on. If our home is gone, we'll rebuild it bit by bit. I will fight against the Abyss little by little, conquer all the places it has gone to, and rebuild Teyvat brick by brick. My life is still long. As long as I defeat a little bit of the Abyss every day, I will eventually drive Abyss all out."

Even a fool could move mountains, and a bird could fill the sea; those who can persevere will never give up.

The fake Dottore and Albedo exchanged a glance, and then vanished.

Just as Bai Ye was about to say something more, a voice appeared in his mind.

"Bai Ye, you are even better than I imagined."

Bai Ye had heard that voice once before.

That was the sound that Bai Ye heard at the banquet where Sacred Sakura Su of Yingbi Mountain left.

Time governs – Istaroth.

What exactly is going on here?

Bai Ye continued to ask Istaroth.

Istaroth didn't explain Bai Ye's question, but continued:

"This chaotic space is the perfect place for you to test your time manipulation abilities. I've already modified that magical artifact. In this space, you might actually be able to travel to the time you want."

After saying this, Istaroth's voice disappeared.

Hu Tao walked over to Bai Ye and patted him on the shoulder. "What's wrong? You've been standing here in a daze since those illusions disappeared."

"I just heard a sound."

Bai Ye spoke to the group.

"Hmm? Whose voice is that? Is there someone else in this space?"

Yanfei asked curiously.

"No, she spoke to me like that outside." Bai Ye shook his head.

"Outside? You mean outside!?"

Everyone was somewhat surprised to hear Bai Ye say that he was outside.

"Which Gods is it? Could it be that guy Zhongli?"

Guizhong also spoke in Bai Ye's mind.

"It's not Zhongli, it's Istaroth."

Bai Ye silently answered his teacher in his heart.

Then, seeing the others speak, she said, "This area is where she intends to test me and help me increase my strength."

As he said this, Bai Ye looked at Yu Yelan and said, "So, the main reason we came back later wasn't because of you, but because of me, that you were trapped here."

"This..."

Yelan's brain was also a little slow to react.

At this point, Bai Ye had a general idea of what had happened.

Istaroth wanted to bring herself to this space, and then she lured Yelan into a trap. Meanwhile, because Yelan was trapped, Bai Ye would eventually arrive. As for the Abyss Order members being able to see Yelan's actions, it was probably related to Istaroth.

"Why did she bring you here?"

Yelan asked Bai Ye with some curiosity.

"She wanted me to temporarily learn how to manage my time here."

Bai Ye answered Yelan.

At the same time, he clearly felt his hand sink.

Bai Ye raised his hand to his chest, and in his palm appeared a small compass.

"This, this should be the Grand Vigil Compendium mentioned in the will I saw. Bai Ye, when did you get this thing?"

"This is what she gave me just now."

Bai Ye replied.

He continued, "Moreover, this is not a simple Grand Vigil Compendium. It has undergone modifications."

After Bai Ye finished speaking, he gently turned the Grand Vigil Compendium.

The surrounding scene seemed as if nothing had happened.

Just then, a figure appeared beside Bai Ye.

The Demon-Queller.

"Demon-Queller, how did you come to be here?"

Hu Tao saw Xiao and greeted him.

"I..."

Xiao couldn't answer either.

He came to this area to investigate what was happening here, but before he could even speak, he was teleported away.

There was no time to do anything.

Bai Ye smiled but didn't say anything.

He raised the Grand Vigil Compendium again and said to the others, "The person who spoke to me just now modified the Grand Vigil Compendium for me. In this space, it is possible to travel through time."

You mean to say?

Xiao understood what Bai Ye meant.

"Yes, perhaps they are completely gone by now. But a year ago, there were many of them. Why don't we go back a year ago and rescue them?"

"Is it really possible?"

Xiao still couldn't quite believe it.

"I don't know if it would work elsewhere, but I'm sure it would work here."

Bai Ye said to Xiao.

He was going to experiment with time management skills.

He held the Grand Vigil Compendium: "I will activate this modified Grand Vigil Compendium, and it will take us back to 1000 years ago. At that time, we can save the Millelith and the Fushé Yaksha."

"Wow, we're going to rescue people before the New Year? Bai Ye, let's get moving."

Hu Tao was very much looking forward to this kind of thrilling adventure.

Bai Ye looked at the others again, and none of them seemed to object.

Finally, he turned his gaze to Bixiao and Yelan.

One year ago, in this space, Xiao's elder brother Fushé and Yelan's ancestor Boyang were both present.

This time, perhaps we can save them all.

Both Xiao and Yelan had a hint of passion in their eyes.

"Then, let's prepare to head to the year before!"

Bai Ye used his hand to move the pointer of the Grand Vigil Compendium again.

The surrounding environment changed rapidly.
