Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave

Li Mochen always felt that the "Abyss Cult" must be behind this incident, but Ying's tone and the sarcastic smile on her lips made him wonder if he had misunderstood.

Ying is indeed a princess from the "Abyss Cult", but she doesn't always hang out with those monsters. Nevertheless, Ying's words still surprised Li Mochen and Shen He, because she did mention "in order to obtain the elemental power of the 'Emperor of Rock King'".

"Are you...are you serious? This incident has nothing to do with the cult? This is entirely your personal action?"

"Hmph, since I've already lost this battle, I'll keep my promise and tell the truth. Believe it or not."

Ying's answer was as arrogant as ever, and even though she was defeated, her princess temperament remained unchanged.

"Hey, I was wondering why you were the only one from the cult who came. I didn't see any of those annoying Abyss Mages."

"Wait, what did you say? You want to get the power of the Emperor?"

Li Mochen had just realized why Ying ran to Liyue with only emergency food when Shenhe roared at her.

"Literally. If you don't understand, why don't you go back and study for a few more years?"

"Reading? I've read more books than you've lost hair. How did you get the elemental power of rock? Tell me the truth!"

Seeing Ying's calm and indifferent expression, Shen He became more and more angry, but she did care about Ying's words because this woman was obviously not lying.

As we all know, Morax, the "King of Rock", is the god who controls the rock element and is one of the "Seven Rulers of the Earth". Usually, gods give humans power by giving them the Eye of God.

Therefore, it is only natural that all original gods who possess the "Eye of the Rock God" have obtained the power of the Rock King.

However, Ying is different. Although she can use the "rock elemental power", this princess is not a Genshin, because she does not have the Eye of God.

That’s right, Ying doesn’t have the Eye of God. It’s not that she has hidden it, but that she doesn’t have it at all.

As a three-eyed and five-manifested immortal, Shenhe does not need the Eye of God, but in fact she has the "Eye of the Wind God". However, immortals have existed for much longer than the Eye of God, and can use their magical powers with or without it. Therefore, the Eye of God is almost meaningless to immortals.

Most immortals will hide the Eye of God and turn it into an "inner eye" to prevent it from being exposed. Or, like the crane, they will just throw it into a box and keep it at the bottom of the box. Of course, there are also immortals who don't mind wearing the Eye of God, such as Xiao. That Yaksha wears the Eye of God as a simple decoration every day. It can only be said that this is a personal preference.

In short, Shenhe can tell whether the opponent has hidden the Eye of God. But Ying is obviously not the kind of person who uses the "inner eye". She does not have such an external elemental force organ.

But how could a mortal who had no external organ for elemental power and was not an incarnation of the Five Manifestations use elemental power? What was even more outrageous was that Ying could use two kinds of elemental power, which was completely beyond Shenhe's understanding of humans.

"Don't look at me like that. I don't know what's going on."

As if she felt Shen He's gaze, Ying lowered her head slightly. It wasn't that she was lying or evading, but that she really didn't know her own situation.

Since the war five hundred years ago, Ying seemed to have lost her memory due to a long sleep. She only remembered her and her brother's identities, the country they belonged to, and the battle with God. Ying herself was not clear about other things, or could not remember them.

But recently she has begun to remember some strange things, such as after meeting Albedo in the snowy mountains. Since meeting the "Son of Chalk" that time, Ying sometimes hears some strange words in her dreams.

“Chalk is the substance of pure earth and primitive man.”

“Only primitive people can reach the Star Gate directly and become true gods that are not controlled by the laws of nature.”

"However, creating life itself is a serious crime, and creating primitive humans is an even greater crime. This crime... I will bear it."

The female voice suddenly stopped, but Ying could not remember her appearance or identity. But Ying knew that the owner of the voice obviously had a deep relationship with her. Even though that was five hundred years ago.

When Ying woke up five hundred years later, she knew only one thing: she could obtain different elemental powers by interacting with the "Seven Heavenly Statue", and that was all.

There is only one thing she needs to do, which is to interact with more statues, become more powerful, and one day rescue her brother who was taken away by the gods.

"No way, through the 'Seven Days Statue' I can obtain the elemental power of the area..."

After Ying briefly described her situation, Shen He almost dropped his jaw in shock. Li Mochen next to him was also surprised. This sounded too weird.

First of all, what is that "Seven-day Statue"? Why can Ying gain power through it?

This thing is not rare. At least as far as Li Mochen knows, there are five "Seven-day God Statues" in Liyue. These statues look like huge pillars with the statue of "Emperor Rock King" engraved on them, as if they are for people to worship.

But now it seems that this statue is not that simple?

"Sister He, do you know what the 'Seven Days Statue' is?"

Thinking of this, Li Mochen couldn't help but ask Shenhe who was lost in thought.

It is said that these statues began to appear after the end of the "Demon God War", which was more than 2,000 years ago. Ordinary people may not know their origins, but Shenhe, as an immortal who experienced that war personally, should know something.

In fact, Shenhe did know a little.

"I don't know much, but that thing... seems to be a tool used to suppress the 'Earth Leyline'."

Having said that, the divine crane lowered its head and looked at the ground, as if it could see through the earth to the crust thousands of meters below.

"Earth veins"? Hearing this new word, Li Mochen scratched his head, and so did Ying.

"Legend has it that a long, long time ago, there was a huge tree that ran through all parts of the world, penetrating every corner of the earth. That was the 'Earth Ley'."

"What's the point of this thing? Why suppress it?"

"Of course it makes sense, because the seven elemental forces that make up the world system flow through the leylines, and the ends of the leylines converge in a terrifying place."

"The scary part is..."

"'The Abyss' is what the place is called in the oldest texts I can find."

When the name of "the land abandoned by God" was mentioned, Shenhe couldn't help but frown, as if he felt something was ominous.
