Chapter 44: Su Xuan's True Goal, the Skyfrost Nail from Celestia
The entrance to a cave below a mountain range of jagged spines.
Two figures slowly walked into the cave.
As soon as she stepped into the cave, Eula winced, feeling a tingling sensation all over her body.
Not far away, she could see a huge, pulsating heart, with black blood coiling within it.
Eula looked at the cave, illuminated by a red glow. It was still the same as before; as soon as she got a little closer, she felt uncomfortable all over.
Before, she had only ever stood at the cave entrance, peeking in. This time, at Su Xuan's request, she had to accompany him, so she gritted her teeth and walked further inside.
"The price of pretending to be strong is huge. If you feel uncomfortable, you should say so directly."
Su Xuan's words suddenly reached Eula's ears. Immediately after, a light enveloped her, forming a protective shield.
Eula remembered that this was a protective shield formed by Su Xuan's Psychokinesis.
In an instant, Eula felt much lighter all over.
"I said before that the corrupted blood in Dvalin's body was due to it devouring Durin's blood."
"Its birth was created by the power of the Abyss; you cannot touch this power."
Su Xuan said as he walked towards the heart.
Eula quietly thanked him and followed closely behind Su Xuan with her long legs.
Upon reaching the heart, Su Xuan gently stroked it with his hand.
Durin's heart beat so violently that Su Xuan's arm trembled along with it.
Apart from the sound of the heartbeat, there was no other sound in the entire cave.
Seeing Su Xuan fall silent, Eula did not interrupt him. She just looked at the man's back, her thoughts drifting back to the scene where she had just been teased.
The first day, the witch Lisa; the second day, the Dandelion Knight Jean; the third day, would it be her, the Spindrift Knight?
Ah ha! This kind of thing is too strange, isn't it?
She had heard of philanderers, but never one so outrageous.
Even the plots in romance light novels wouldn't dare to write something like this, would they?
Is there any difference between this and forced abduction? Absolutely no difference.
"He even said, 'If I'm in a hurry, he'd arrange me earlier'?" Eula muttered to herself: "This is definitely an unspeakable grudge."
Thinking of this, Eula didn't forget to glance at Su Xuan.
"Luckily, his attention is entirely focused on Durin's heart."
However, seeing the transparent energy ripples around his body, Eula felt a warmth in her heart.
Suddenly, a strong curiosity arose about Su Xuan's earlier suggestion.
She wanted to ask how the man in front of her intended to force her to submit as easily as Lisa or Jean had.
Just as Eula was imagining Su Xuan's possible methods, the Diary Copy suddenly flashed with light.
She eagerly flipped through it with great interest.
[The power of the Herrscher's Authority can be applied to life.]
[For example, through specific DNA information, cells, skin, organs, etc., can be constructed.]
[As I expected, for alchemical creatures like Durin, the Herrscher's Authority can fully understand and analyze them.]
[Durin's core, which is its heart, is the complete information storage for it as an alchemical creation.]
[To create a giant dragon like Durin, the process required is to wait for the self-evolution of information data.]
[Simply put, after creating the heart, one just needs to wait patiently.]
[This is like placing certain processed cells into a petri dish for self-evolution and development.]
[Below, I will briefly outline two major important information data from this heart.]
[First is the flesh and blood originating from the native dragon race of the Teyvat continent, and second is the power of the Abyss.]
[The flesh and blood of the Teyvat continent's dragon race possess a special ability to give birth to countless species and living beings.]
[The role of the Abyssal power in this is to stabilize the dragon race's flesh and blood, ensuring that when it gives birth to living beings, it can only give birth to dragons.]
[Then, the information of the born dragon is fixed as Durin, and the entire circulatory system is closed.]
[This is also why Durin can revive; as long as its heart is undamaged, it can achieve infinite resurrection.]
[For me, the only pity is that while I understand its entire principle, what I can construct is only its heart.]
[The reason for this is that Durin's birth belongs to the unique characteristics of the dragon race's flesh and blood, as well as a growth process under the blessing of Abyssal power.]
[During this growth, genetic encoding recombination occurs, constructing its giant dragon body.]
[Genetic encoding recombination is a variable factor in the growth process and is not fixedly present in the heart's database.]
[If I want to obtain a dragon like Durin, I can only do so by constructing the heart and then waiting for it to grow into a giant dragon itself.]
[It's truly troublesome and utterly useless.]
[Finally, let's talk about how to deal with this heart.]
[The giant dragon's flesh and blood cannot be removed, but as long as the Abyssal power in the heart is purified, this heart will also be completely Waste...]
[Since I have already obtained the right to construct the heart, this heart is of no use anymore.]
[Durin itself is an Abyssal creation; Abyssal power is not a negative effect for it, so the qiankun mirror's effect of removing negative effects is Failure.]
[But no matter, this won't stump me. I just need to adjust the heart's time to before it fused with Abyssal power.]
Inside the heart's cave.
Eula stared wide-eyed at the liuguang mirror that appeared out of thin air, like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
In just a few breaths, the black blood threads in his heart suddenly vanished.
Eula stared, unable to help but ask, "This mirror in your hand is incredibly miraculous."
"If you were to shine it upon the land of Mondstadt, and merely adjust the time of the land, would Mondstadt's land also..."
"Clever," Su Xuan smiled at Eula. "This mirror is exactly that unreasonable."
After all, if it didn't have any power amplification and its functions were restricted, Su would surely jump in frustration.
"Uh..." Eula's mouth twitched.
Su Xuan's own power was not only abnormal, but the tools in his hand seemed even more so.
"This heart is essentially a fusion of dragon flesh and blood, so it cannot be directly removed. It can only be severed from its entire information loop by eliminating the power of the Abyss."
"As for this heart, since it contains dragon flesh and blood, it's a rather precious alchemy material. Take it back and give it to Lisa."
Su Xuan spoke to himself, and as Eula looked on speechlessly, he directly enveloped the heart with Psychokinesis and then placed it into his system space.
"So, you made such a big fuss coming to Dragonspine, and Lisa ends up being the biggest winner?" Eula pouted.
She remembered Su Xuan saying that this heart was not only troublesome but also useless in his hands.
"What, are you envious?" Su Xuan laughed.
"Me, envious?" Eula snorted, then said nothing more.
To say she wasn't envious would be a lie.
Moreover, she bore the name of Sinner. Forget about someone caring for her or thinking of her; it would be a blessing if they didn't scold or ostracize her.
"Hmm?" Eula was slightly startled, then realized Su Xuan's diary had updated again.
[I had a small interlude when retrieving Durin's heart.]
[The wild Spindrift Knight mocked me for coming to Dragonspine late at night, only to get a Ruin Grader.]
[I ran to Durin's heart cave, only to find that the item I acquired couldn't directly manifest a giant dragon. It was troublesome and useless.]
[But facing her mockery, my heart was calm, and I even felt like laughing.]
Knights of Favonius.
Lisa calmly looked at Amber: "See, I told you Eula would be fine. Do you really think Su Xuan's heart is as small as a sesame seed?"
"Just because of one of Eula's catchphrases, he would kill her?"
Amber laughed in agreement, "And it feels like the two of them get along quite well."
But at this moment.
Eula was panicking, and quickly said, "When did I mock you? You can't just casually put labels on me and then deal with me."
"And why did you feel like laughing?"
Seeing Su Xuan ignore her, Eula rolled her eyes and her gaze fell back on the Diary Copy.
[As for why my heart was calm, and I even felt like laughing.]
[That's because I was mocking Eula for not knowing Dragonspine's greatest treasure.]
[I am confident that I will be able to comprehend and reproduce that thing.]
[That is the divine punishment launched from Celestia, located at the summit of Dragonspine.]
[Skyfrost Nail!]
Eula: "Skyfrost Nail?".
