Chapter 52 Golden Dreamland
"Gabriel takes care of everything else.
False team center: You.
The real center of the team: Gabriel.
So, you who call yourself a "brave man", have you broken through?
No.
If the requirement for everyone to move forward autonomously is to take care of everyone, consider all the details, and control all the logistics, then it doesn't matter what role you play.
Before you truly showed your abilities, Sameer looked down on you; after that—
"I still like your rebellious attitude at the beginning. Why don't you recover for a while?"
You showed the face of a villain who had succeeded.
Samel looks a little angry, but soon he obeys you. In order to find the legacy of the Red King and the secret treasure of Gul City, he will be tolerant of you and Youfei without any limit.
——This is without involving Gabriel.
Among the remaining clues, Youfei discovered that the red sand slab is the key stone of the Red King, which can open part of the gate, but this power is not enough to support you to reach the end.
The remaining clues, yes, this is the second time Sameer and Gabriel have embarked on this journey.
While operating in Giant Canyon near the Tanit tribe, you caught a glimpse of the old grudge between the two of them and Babel, the elder of the Tanit tribe.
On their previous trip, Babel bribed one of the team members and initiated "Stormwind Peak Killing Mode," nearly killing two people. It was Gabriel who faked his own death and then saved Samel, allowing the two to successfully counterattack.
You flipped through the "Letter from a Long-Distant Explorer" you picked up along the way in amazement. The second half was written by Gabriel, and reading it gave you the thrill of peeking into someone else's diary.
And this is the first-hand historical material of the future!
I can only say that the desert environment is still too advanced, and paper records from a few years ago can still be preserved.
After suffering a heavy loss on their last journey, in order to be wary of the evil hands of Elder Babel, Samel and Gabriel rebelled against the Tanit tribe and established the [Thutmose] tribe.
After the journey, Samel brought the stone tablet into the market of the Sumeru Order. After several years of transfer, it attracted the scholar Youfei.
Then your team's journey began."
“Because our last experience was filled with conspiracy and blood, even if you and Yufei have all sorts of bad habits this time, Samel will think it’s nothing special.
At this time, Samel knew nothing about your power. When you suggested that you could just go back to the Tanit tribe and kill them, he smiled crookedly and said, "The Dragon King has returned..."
Sameer simply gave you a sand bath, hoping the sand would absorb the excess moisture from your brain.
But Babel's evil deeds are not limited to this. This time, she secretly left strange powders or spices on your luggage to attract wind-eroded sandworms.
——How do you know?
This is one of the reasons why Samel did not bow down in worship when he saw you showing off your prowess, because when the other party made the move, you were holding Youfei's experimental camera close to your face to record the video.
After the accident, Yuffie and Gabriel were unable to stop Sameer from giving you a loving punch.
"I just wanted to see what that powder does! And didn't I already solve it..." You muttered unconvincedly, "You guys didn't notice it, but I did, and no one praised me."
This time even Gabriel was silent. The Sand People could not understand your mentality of having fun. Their lives were already hard enough, and your arrival made the hardship increase exponentially.
So the one who is speaking to you is Yufei:
"A Chong, although you can handle such troubles... maybe for you, this may not be a trouble at all, but I think Sameer is angry that you don't care about everyone's lives and safety."
"You can do whatever you want, but how can those who have bad intentions towards you let things go their way?"
You understand. It's fun when bad things happen to others, but if you wait and see what happens when it happens to you, that's called suffering without any consequences.
Yufei patted your head, "You are so childish, but there is no soil for children to survive in the desert."
Well, you decided to forgive Thutmose Twin Blades for not talking to you.
But the story doesn't end there, you're not happy anymore. The Tanit tribe is therefore facing your revenge. You are certainly good at stealing time, space, and destiny... but you can also steal lifespan and sanity.
You destroyed them without wasting a single soldier.
Is this taking out your anger?
Yes, this is indeed a vent of anger. You are a hero, a player, a god who plays with the rules, and your journey has no place for dirt.
Babel kneels on the ground, holding a baby girl, and tells you about the child's fate as a "Falcon", just as it was not easy for her to get from a "Falcon" to where she is today, hoping to get your forgiveness and mercy.
You suddenly see the future of that baby, who will be named Tadella, living in silence, waiting to die.
The only difference was that the one who witnessed her demise was a blond traveler.
Your memory has been revived.
Unfortunately, you will not be sharing the fate of Falcon Tadla on this journey. As the enemy who destroyed your tribe, it would be too much trouble to either let her go or leave her behind.
Don't rush! Life needs some little surprises.
“…”
The Tanit tribe fell into eternal silence amidst the yellow sands and strife, and there will be no more falcons here."
Ming Chong pressed pause and checked the records repeatedly - "Suddenly I could see... the future."
?
——Is there even no CG these days? Please explain it to me!
Furthermore, is this playing with fatalism? No matter what choices we make, we'll only continue to approach the prophecy, with no way around it... This is too low, with no cosmic diversity at all!
- The fate of everything hanging on the trees on the continent of Teyvat can be observed. Because this world is so simple and fragile, you, my lord, need to gradually take back your own power.
...So this future-seeing ability only works on the continent of Teyvat. No wonder there's no CG. Ming Chong nodded, accepting this statement.
But isn't that waist-baring traveler from out of this world? How can he appear in the observable future?
This doubt only arose in Ming Chong's mind for a second before he gave up. After all, not everyone is as awesome as him and can fight his way in and out of the continent of Teyvat.
That makes sense.
“After witnessing the destruction firsthand, Sameer and Gabriel suspected for a while that you were the incarnation of the Red King, and you felt insulted.
This time it's your turn not to talk to them for a long time.
Afterwards, you and Youfei continued to pick up trash in the Giant Canyon. You mainly picked up some strange things you had never seen before, while Youfei's target was various stone rubbings or text records.
Solving puzzles or anything else is Youfei's job, you just need to pick up the items.
——Later you opened it with great fanfare, and Sameer and Gabriel didn't even have to fight. You were in the desert tomb as if you were in an empty place.
It's like coming home.
It doesn’t matter, tomb robbing is still robbing!
But in this way, your journey becomes very boring. Without the indomitable villains who keep fighting one after another, all you can do is survive in the desert, except hurrying on the road, picking up trash, and waiting for Youfei to solve the puzzle.
You begin to feel that this is what it means to truly endure hardship.
"In the desert, this is what you really need to fight against." Gabriel carried you on his back and walked step by step on the way back to rest and replenish supplies.
After you fell into a depressed and bored mood, Sameer and Gabriel took turns carrying you on their backs. Even though you were the strongest, even Yuffie looked at you with a bit of pity.
Of course you could just take them back, but Samel doesn't think your power is meant for that. Besides, without you, the Sand People and the desert will coexist like this.
If the party relies too much on your strength, their ability to survive in the desert will be degraded.
——But what’s the point of running around by yourself without them?
And you haven't reached the end of this journey yet.
“…”
Of all your travel memories, there is no experience more boring than this one.
How do ordinary people survive in the desert?
How can ordinary people survive in a desert filled with unnatural forces?
After leaving the mausoleum, Sameer refused your protection. In the sea of sand, they don't need to live in peace with danger.
Being among them, you will see similar yet different scenes every day, and every cell in your body is clamoring for excitement and fun...
No books, no entertainment, no good food...
The spiritual and material deprivation is even worse than that in Beloberg. The area is vast and sparsely populated, and suspicion and fighting are common.
You have thought about directly changing the environment of the desert, but that would only change the dullness of the desert into the dullness of a rainforest, and more people living in the desert have never actually walked out of this desert.
They only mastered the skills to survive in the desert.
Are you really willing to provide endless shelter to everyone here equally and without asking for anything in return?
Just as you only acted as a human in Beloberg and denied the fate of becoming a star god, in the sea of sand, you are unwilling to erase all the struggles made by the humans here for survival.
In truth, you didn't know the point of such persistence. After all, you had once retrieved Shirley from history in Beloberg, and had also destroyed other people's history in the Sea of Sand...
People who have killed others cannot forget the way they used killing to solve problems, and you will always think of using your supernatural powers to solve problems.
Whether in the continent of Teyvat or in the galaxy where Beloberg is located, it seems that using supernatural forces to solve problems has become commonplace.
Even if all human wisdom is exhausted, at the end of this road stands the philosophical embodiment of highly condensed "wisdom and knowledge", [Wisdom] Boshizun.
It is extremely rare for humans to obtain the Eye of God, but on the continent of Teyvat, the majority are still ordinary people.
It is the ugly who makes the beautiful one;
Those who support the wise are fools;
The hero is the coward...
In a muddy situation, the brilliance of humanity will bloom amidst ugliness. You were once an ordinary person, so how could you forget the path you took?
When the night is dark, some people will chase the sun;
When the season turns cooler, someone will create fire;
When minions are at a disadvantage, someone will resort to tools...
Is the will of the Star God at birth really higher than the will of mankind to survive and develop?
Anything that goes against human desires can temper the will.
So, you begin to try to suppress the desire to use your abilities.
The parts obtained by defeating the energy construct can be used to provide lighting energy;
Even if you have lights, you still need a fire at night;
The taste of red nian fruit is very similar to dragon fruit;
…
You picked up a stone flower on the road, it was a seed, and you planted it."
