"I understand." Raiden Ei nodded heavily.
As she stood up to leave, a flash of Khvarena crossed her mind, and she suddenly asked out of curiosity, "Lord Su Bai, when will the reincarnation of souls you mentioned begin?"
"Soon. Once Nahida returns, it can begin."
Su Bai set down his teacup.
Raiden Ei, quick-witted, refilled his tea.
"Most of Teyvat's souls reside in Wangshu Inn and the Sea of Ashes. If they stay too long, they can only return to the Ley Lines and be absorbed by them."
"Indeed, we should find them a stable dwelling as soon as possible to await reincarnation."
"A dwelling?" Raiden Ei was momentarily confused.
"Yes! A world, like the world you know, but you can call it the world of the Underworld," Su Bai added, "It's similar to a planetary world, just a different dimension."
"Although I can create such worlds, I believe it's better to directly choose an expedition world to serve as the Underworld."
"After all, creating a world consumes a considerable amount of energy, and some worlds are just going to waste."
Wait!
Raiden Ei paused, as if she had caught a keyword.
Her exquisite pupils trembled slightly in surprise.
"Hmm! Seeing your surprised expression, I presume you've already guessed something."
Su Bai stood up and gazed into the distance at Nahida, who was sitting on the stone steps, lost in thought.
"Ei, you haven't personally taken a branch of Irminsul on an expedition yet, so you don't know the specific conditions for Irminsul's growth."
"If you can't obtain at least fifty percent or more of a world's faith, then Irminsul can only grow through brutal, violent means."
"It's impossible for Nahida to win over the humans of that world."
"My original plan never intended for the creatures of that world to exist."
"I plan to use the Gastrea World as the base world to create a habitat for the souls of these several worlds."
"Humans in that world who obtain a Vision can naturally remain unaffected by this catastrophe. They can even become the first staff of the Underworld."
...
Chapter 62: Furina Declares That Not Having an Elemental Dragon Lord Is Very Embarrassing
The great catastrophe of the apocalypse, the Underworld where souls reside.
The information that Su Bai could casually create planets, and other tidbits, made the audience of Teyvat's heads almost explode.
It really appeared.
The world that could link all the worlds on the golden giant tree in Su Bai's consciousness.
The final resting place for the souls of several worlds.
However, people didn't expect that the birth of the Underworld would involve choosing one of the expeditionary worlds to serve this purpose.
But the Gastrea World was perfectly suitable.
The hearts of most people in that world were almost rotten to the core.
Humans, despite being so ravaged by Gastrea that they could only live in a small confined area, could still calmly and ruthlessly attack the Damselettes fighting against the Gastrea.
While the Prime Teyvat World also had a dark side, at least when facing a disaster that threatened humanity as a whole, only a very small number of people would act disrespectfully towards those who were saving them.
These very few people also trembled when they heard Su Bai say he would annihilate everyone in the Gastrea World.
They feared that one day they too would suffer the fate of being purged and eliminated.
Snezhnaya Fatui Harbingers' meeting room.
Jester chuckled softly.
But from his chuckle, a hint of helplessness could be heard.
"Did you hear? The Heavenly Principles next door said he could actually create a world himself?"
Create a planetary world?
So that's it, so that's it.
It turns out that with his strength alone, he could indeed completely solve the threat of insufficient energy in the Parallel Teyvat World.
Not only could he solve it, but he only needed to save the information of the Ley Line Irminsul, casually create a new Teyvat World, and then transplant the Irminsul Ley Line.
The energy problem of the Teyvat World planet would be solved.
"An existence like him."
"His power no longer requires too much astonishment."
"I'm even more curious now about what fate awaits the Doctor in the Parallel Teyvat World."
Arlecchino had a hint of playfulness and anticipation on her face.
"After all, some time ago, the Doctor brought back the Gnoses of the Dendro Archon and the Electro Archon from Sumeru. I imagine there must have been quite a commotion."
"If not for the appearance of the Fourth Descenders, you and the Grand Sage of the Sumeru Akademiya would have truly taken complete control of Sumeru."
The Doctor was speechless.
He knew very well what Arlecchino was referring to.
The Lesser Lord Kusanali of Sumeru became the leading executive of this expedition.
10. The two situations for Irminsul's growth allowed her to choose one to complete.
However, what seemed like two choices, unfortunately, due to the corrupt hearts of the people in the Gastrea World, Lesser Lord Kusanali only had one option.
Although she could wield the authority blessed by Su Bai, with her power, she certainly couldn't instantly annihilate all creatures in an entire world like Su Bai could.
She could only watch helplessly as the humans of that world died one after another under her command.
For Nahida, who was inherently pure, this would undoubtedly be the most severe test of her mental fortitude in her long years of existence.
If she truly perfectly completed the expedition to the Gastrea World, by the time she returned to Sumeru, if the Doctor of the Parallel Teyvat World was still causing chaos in Sumeru with the Grand Sage of the Sumeru Akademiya, then there would truly be no room for discussion.
It's likely the Doctor would die along with the people of the Akademiya.
[Viewing Chatroom]
Hu Tao: "Under... Underworld..."
Ningguang: "A world where souls reside, meaning everyone there, except for specific staff with Gnoses, are all dead."
Furina: "So those innocent children will become the staff of the Underworld?"
Navia: "They will certainly be able to obtain Visions, but having a group of children manage the dead in the Underworld, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Neuvillette: "Of course it's inappropriate, very inappropriate. Those children can't go to school, rarely have the opportunity to experience ordinary things in life, plus their age, they have no work experience. I think they should be given proper training and then assigned suitable jobs."
Paimon: "Wow, Neuvillette seems a bit too emotional, but I think what Neuvillette said makes a lot of sense."
Jean: "Ah, they are truly a group of heartbreaking children. Actually, bringing them all to Teyvat wouldn't matter. After all, the Teyvat next door is constantly expanding in area with each increase in planetary energy, plus those without Visions who die can no longer be born in Teyvat, so the population density will greatly decrease."
Lisa: "There isn't much population to begin with, so bringing in a group of adorable little ones with Visions from other worlds is also a very good idea."
Zhongli: "And they are children with special abilities. Even if it's for future expedition members, they are worth cultivating properly."
Venti: "Mhm mhm mhm... I also think bringing them in wouldn't hurt."
Alhaitham: "The authority of [Abundance] changes their Gastrea virus corrosion, retaining their abilities while preventing Gastrea-transformation, and forming a group of Damselette expeditionary forces who don't need to be controlled by Promoters and act on their own will. Imagine, it's quite exciting."
Tighnari: "A Damselette army led by the great and adorable Lesser Lord Kusanali, it's actually quite suitable, isn't it?"
Nahida: "Eh?"
Nilou: "Go, Lesser Lord Kusanali, you must succeed."
[Sumeru Desert.]
Great winds rose, and yellow sand filled the sky.
Since landing on Celestia, Nahida had not returned to the land of Sumeru.
She would occasionally look down from Celestia. Due to her sudden disappearance, Sumeru, which had lost the Gnosis that maintained it, also lost the Akasha devices that accompanied their daily lives.
For a time, Sumeru was in complete chaos from top to bottom.
Unfortunately, Su Bai said nothing about Sumeru's situation, and Nahida didn't know how to ask.
She could only frantically read books on Celestia, hoping to grow and return to Sumeru soon to reorganize everything.
But unexpectedly, Su Bai directly arranged for her to go to the Gastrea World.
Nahida knew this was a rare opportunity, and she could learn more through this practical experience, but at the same time, her heart was filled with tension.
"Let's land here, Pyro Dragon Sovereign."
"According to the investigation of the [Hunt] authority, the Dendro Dragon Sovereign should be nearby."
Upon hearing that the Celestia expedition meeting involved Nahida leading the Elemental Dragon Lord to another world.
The Pyro Dragon Sovereign immediately left Natlan and flew to Celestia to await orders.
