Genshin Impact: I am best at sacrifice, don't cry

In a world that worships strength, any channel that can help you become stronger is invaluable.

For the Kanreya people who are born without physical talents and are not close to elemental forces, there is another way to become stronger, that is - knowledge.

Thus, at the very beginning of Kanreya’s birth, knowledge was considered the most precious thing, and this situation became more and more serious as time went on.

As for why it is serious, it is naturally because of the monopoly of knowledge.

There is no need to explain the details.

In order to survive, the newly born Kanreya people avoided the surface full of extraordinary monsters and continued to dig underground. It took them thousands of years to dig out the huge Kanreya Kingdom that we see today.

There are many secrets hidden beneath Teyvat. During the excavation process, Kanreya discovered many secrets about the world of Teyvat and even dug out a super small abyss passage.

They discovered the enormous power contained in the abyss, which made them obsessed.

This is not a problem. The abyss is originally integrated with Teyvat. It is the root of the Teyvat world tree. It is the bottom of the entire Teyvat energy cycle. It is also the place where the Teyvat world absorbs and filters energy from the outside world. The energy there is famously abundant.

But the energy in the abyss is also obviously chaotic. If it is discharged into Teyvat, it would be pure pollution.

But Kanriya didn't care. In their opinion, as long as they invented the corresponding filtering device, the abyss would be an endless source of energy.

As for why Kanreya hates Sky Island and the Seven Gods so much, in this world line it is because Sky Island once punished Kanreya and sealed that super small abyss crack.

On an unknown day, the seal of the abyss crack was quietly broken.

At first, the Kanriya people were still worried about when Sky Island would send people down again, but after waiting for decades, nothing happened.

Therefore, in pursuit of the unknown and endless energy, the Kanreya people once again set their sights on the abyss rifts, but with their technology, they have not yet discovered that the abyss had already changed.

In Kanreya, there are two major schools of knowledge, namely the alchemists and the engineers.

As the name suggests, engineers are literally good at making various precision machines, buildings, weapons, etc.

An alchemist is similar to... well, an alchemist is an alchemist. They are good at making potions with different effects, which mainly act on the human body, but there are also extremely outstanding ones among them who have embarked on a path of creating life similar to that of Nan Dou's life scientists.

However, during this period of time, the development of alchemists in Kanreya had not yet reached its peak, and no powerful beings corresponding to the mechanical gods were created.

Of course, originally, the engineers were far behind, but with the interference of Eurasia and Nandou, the engineers leapt hundreds or thousands of years ahead of time.

That's right, the Mechanical God may not exist in the normal timeline, and may never have been successfully activated.

However, the alchemists finally created some troublesome things. During the battle of the destruction of Kanreya, they were contaminated by the power of the abyss, which brought heavy disasters to the seven kingdoms.

The changes brought about by Nan Dou did not affect Kanreya. The seven nations today had already completed their ultimate evolution without Kanreya's knowledge.

If Kanreya was treated the same as the Seven Kingdoms, it might have taken another path, but Nandou would not give it this opportunity.

A tool country must have the awareness of a tool country. Nan Dou will not destroy the plans of Eurasia and Tianli.

During the rare free time, Nan Dou chose to lean against the thick trunk of a Chaoyang tree, found a comfortable position, took out a book containing information about Kanriya and slowly read it.

"[God-killing Metal] is a special metal mineral discovered deep underground. It has been completely mined so far, and most of it has been used to build the [Machine God Titan]."

"God-killing metal has extremely strong resistance to the seven elements. Experiments have found that the more God-killing metal that is gathered together, the higher its resistance to the seven elements. It is expected that [Machine God Titan] will have more than 90% resistance to the seven elements. (But the question is how can we make a mountain made of heavy metal move?)"

"(The guy who designed the Titan must be a huge idiot! What's the point of a mountain of iron that can't move?)"

Nan Dou read with great interest, and he didn't know which former engineer of Kanreya's army had mixed in the book's complaints.

"Well, under normal circumstances, it is true. Teyvat is not the Collapsed Iron World. It does not have so much abundant energy."

"But unfortunately, Kanria is facing the largest energy wholesaler in the world of Teyvat. Even if there is no energy wholesaler, they can create one for you."

"It's hard to say whether the so-called God-killing Metal was produced by the world of Teyvat itself or was placed there by someone."

Nan Dou closed the book. Even he would still feel sleepy when reading, although it was no problem for him not to sleep now.

Nan Dou put his hands behind his head and looked at the scenery in front of him comfortably. The cunning moonlight covered the flower valley at night with a thin layer of silver gauze. Countless flowers swayed gently in the breeze, and from time to time, pollen flashed with starlight.

With gentle breathing, Nan Dou slowly closed his eyes. At the same time, his soul power seeped out of his body little by little, covering the flower valley bit by bit.

During this process, Nan Dou felt the huge roots of Chaoyang under the earth, which gradually pulsated in sync with his breathing.

The little animals in the flower valley, the sleeping humans, the flowers, the grass, the trees, everything was clearly presented in front of Nandou. This is what Ouya once said to Nandou, "the body is integrated into heaven and earth."

"The body merges into heaven and earth" is a higher level than "harmony between man and nature".

The unity of man and nature means that one can draw on the power of heaven and earth. Here in Teyvat, one can more efficiently utilize the elemental power that is everywhere in the world of Teyvat.

To merge with heaven and earth is to go a step further, to integrate one's soul power into every tree and blade of grass in Teyvat, to control their power as a ruler.

One is borrowing, the other is manipulation. Comparatively, there is no need to say which one is more powerful.

As Nan Dou's consciousness moved, the various flowers in the flower valley instantly waved their petals in different directions. Looking from the sky, they actually formed a big heart shape.

Nan Dou was like a child who had gotten a new toy, constantly fiddling with everything in the flower valley.

It was like something made a piece of white clothing float in front of the door of a researcher who had just finished his night shift, made a researcher who had just finished a day's report turn around and see more reports chasing him, and made a beautiful white snake...

and many more……

Nan Dou withdrew from the state of merging with heaven and earth, and just as he looked up, he saw Ling with helplessness in his eyes, coiling his tail, holding his body high and looking at him in front of him.

This feeling of being caught suddenly made Nan Dou feel a little embarrassed. He scratched his head subconsciously and said hello: "Ahem, Ling, long time no see."

Ling rolled her eyes in annoyance and complained: "The teacher hasn't changed at all. He still has the same bad taste as before."

Nan Dou was too embarrassed to respond because when he was teaching students in the past, his favorite thing to do was to play pranks on them. Almost all the students taught by Nan Dou had been played pranks by him.

Among them, Xiaoguang and Lingyun were the most unlucky ones, because they both had absolute trust in Nandou.

Ling, on the other hand, never cooperated with Nan Dou because she thought his actions were too childish.

Nan Dou also knew that Ling was a bit introverted, so he didn't try to play tricks on her on purpose.

Unexpectedly, she was the only one left in the end.

Ling now looks like a small snake with silver-white scales all over its body.

But in fact, Nan Dou had seen Ling's combat form. At that time, Ling was over 100 meters tall with horns on his forehead, and a thick layer of ice armor covered his silver-white scales, making him look extremely domineering.

However, in Nan Dou's eyes, Ling has always been the same as in his memory.

"Ling, you too, haven't changed at all..."
