One year!
Only one year left!
But for Jiang Xiaofeng, nearly ten years have passed!
Because Jiang Xiaofeng felt that he absolutely could not complete the process of comprehending the power of the Void Heart before the Traveler went to Inazuma, Jiang Xiaofeng continuously activated Time Warp on his own body.
In other words, Jiang Xiaofeng slowed down the time it took for his physical body to absorb the Void Power, and instead devoted all his energy to studying the Void Heart.
Today, Jiang Xiaofeng finally understood the power of the Void Heart he had developed.
The Void Heart, born from the Abyss, essentially allows its "holder" to continuously evolve, become stronger, adapt, and ultimately dominate the entire world.
But this is only superficial strength.
The power of the Void Heart lies in its ability to keep its wielder, even when trapped in the Abyss, "immortal" at all times.
True immortality, because the Void Heart is a product of the entire Abyss and will be protected by the entire Abyss.
Although Jiang Xiaofeng didn't know how the Void Heart connected with the Abyss of the Genshin Impact, Jiang Xiaofeng was immortal within the Abyss.
He couldn't even bring himself to commit suicide.
Finally, and most importantly.
Jiang Xiaofeng can use the Void Power to unleash any abilities he desires.
It's similar to "words become law," but with slight differences.
Because when you speak, it's as if the whole world is on your side, and all coincidences happen because of you.
Jiang Xiaofeng's power, however, requires Jiang Xiaofeng to personally exert and utilize it.
To achieve the effect of words becoming law, Jiang Xiaofeng would need to erode the entire space beforehand using the Void Power.
And the extent of space... is Infinity.
Jiang Xiaofeng was clearly satisfied with the power of the Void Heart.
To put it bluntly, all Jiang Xiaofeng needs to do is keep consuming various types of energy, Jiang Xiaofeng will be able to "evolve" in time to develop the ability to use that energy.
But this is not what Jiang Xiaofeng wanted most.
What Jiang Xiaofeng wanted most was still that "power to control the entire world".
When Jiang Xiaofeng discovered this ability, he had already decided that when he returned to Teyvat, he would release the Void Power at all times to erode the world of Teyvat until he had completely eroded the world.
Dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel.
If Jiang Xiaofeng wanted to use the Void Power to corrupt the entire Teyvat all by himself, he could run for hundreds of years and still not succeed.
But... Jiang Xiaofeng can develop followers in the Void.
Jiang Xiaofeng's body was suspended in the Abyss.
An Abyss Herald would appear every now and then, only to vanish in an instant.
By the time the Abyss Herald appeared, it was already behind the Abyss Prince Kong.
"Your Highness, that guy..."
The Abyss Herald appeared very unwilling.
Kong simply waved his hand, indicating that the Abyss Herald didn't need to worry about it.
Left with no other option, the Abyss Herald left without a word.
It's not that Kong doesn't want to manage it, it's that he can't.
After all, it wasn't like he hadn't tried to attack Jiang Xiaofeng before, but the result was always that the Abyss power surrounding Jiang Xiaofeng would suddenly surge and attack him, the Abyss Prince.
That's outrageous.
Kong was helpless and powerless to do anything about it, so he could only deceive himself by telling himself that since both of them had the same goal—to overthrow the Heavenly Principles— he didn't need to care...
So, what is Jiang Xiaofeng doing?
He was finally screwed over by the fact that the King's body was stolen.
Deep within Jiang Xiaofeng's heart, two figures are locked in a standoff.
A figure in black armor and a figure in purple armor stood on the left and right, seemingly evenly matched, but in reality, the purple-armored figure was at a complete disadvantage.
However, the purple figure remained calm and composed, observing the black-armored figure opposite.
That's right, the man in black armor is Jiang Xiaofeng, and the man in purple armor is the bastard the King.
The King's memory remains, regardless of whether Jiang Xiaofeng drank the Panacea or not.
The King's soul had been dormant in Jiang Xiaofeng's body for a long time, and finally launched its attack just before Jiang Xiaofeng regained consciousness, dragging Jiang Xiaofeng into the illusion it had created.
What? You're asking how the King could have done that?
Don't forget, he was once the King. Jiang Xiaofeng and the King possess the same power and their thoughts are basically the same. It would be really strange if the King couldn't learn Jiang Xiaofeng's abilities.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaofeng stood amidst a cluster of tall buildings in the illusion, somewhat unable to believe it.
"Is this... modern?"
Jiang Xiaofeng walked aimlessly down the street, looking at the people coming and going around him, and began to think.
So, everything that happened before was just a dream?
" Anna, Paimon, Shenhe..."
"Elf..."
Jiang Xiaofeng sat down on a bench by the roadside, head down in thought.
He didn't notice anyone approaching him at all...
Just as the figure approached Jiang Xiaofeng and raised the knife in its hand...
Jiang Xiaofeng deftly deflected the attack with a wave of his hand, and at the same time punched the attacker in the stomach, sending him flying.
The gleaming dagger clattered to the ground.
Ignoring the onlookers, Jiang Xiaofeng picked up the dagger and slowly walked towards the figure that had attacked him.
"I was still wondering if this was an illusion, and you've given me a hint."
"Whether it's true or not, if someone dies and the police haven't arrived, then something's definitely wrong with this world."
"I was originally planning to wait for a truck to respect the plot, but..."
Jiang Xiaofeng stepped on the attacker's leg.
The attacker remained silent, staring at Jiang Xiaofeng through his hood.
With a wave of his hand, Jiang Xiaofeng revealed the true appearance of the figure.
Jiang Xiaofeng sighed.
Why bother?
"Besides, your illusion is completely pointless."
You've left me wondering what to do next.
Jiang Xiaofeng suddenly raised his knife and stabbed the man in the throat.
This man clutched his throat and stared at Jiang Xiaofeng until he bled to death.
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at that extremely familiar face and fell silent.
"What I'm saying is, if you don't know what the use of an illusion is or what it is, you can just fight me directly, instead of jumping out here into this seemingly extremely realistic illusion and telling me that it really is an illusion."
Jiang Xiaofeng drew his dagger, looked at the King's body and face, and suddenly laughed.
"Let me see if your 'illusion' has affected me."
With that, Jiang Xiaofeng, gripping a sharp knife, charged towards the still-watching crowd...
Beyond the illusion.
The King looked at Jiang Xiaofeng, seemingly lost in thought.
Jiang Xiaofeng had already woken up, looking at Jiang Xiaofeng.
"Please, can't you come up with something more original?"
Jiang Xiaofeng raised his hand, and a Transcendent Jiang Xiaofeng Acceptance appeared in his palm.
"I really don't know what to say about this bizarre and nonsensical illusion you've created."
"Come on, let's fight and prove you're ready to die."
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at the King before him.
To everyone's surprise, the King suddenly raised his head and smiled.
"It's not necessary."
We are all the same kind of people.
"As long as you live, I will not die."
I'll be waiting for the day you meet me again.
"I hope you can do what you want to do, and not be hindered halfway through like I was..."
As the King spoke, his figure slowly disappeared.
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
Jiang Xiaofeng, his face grim, dispelled his Acceptance and regained control of his body.
