Genshin Impact: Without the Eye of God, the Original Man Witnesses the Original

The Chasm, as its name suggests, has a terrifying landscape that shocks and awes people.

The spiral terrain was majestic and unique, like a giant eye of the abyss, covering an area of ​​more than a thousand miles. The exposed rocks were like the flesh and blood of the earth. They were no longer the golden and blue-yellow colors like other areas of Liyue, but a blood-stained red and yellow. The closer to the center of the spiral, the redder it became, until a gray rock layer appeared, as if it had lost its life. On top of that rock layer, an ominous purple appeared.

Everyone who comes here for the first time will be shocked speechless by the miracle and strange terrain. Even after many years, they can't forget the astonishment when they first saw the layers of rock and the ingenious scenery that doesn't seem like the mountains and rivers on earth.

The cliffs are towering like the sharp teeth of a gear, and the spiral layers of rock seem to be able to split the sky and swallow the earth.

Clouds and mists surround the high peaks, and kites are flying on the peaks.

In the west, there is a seven-day statue of the Rock King. The terrain over there is called the "Cinnabar Cliff". Red cinnabar rubs the palm of your hand, and on the cliffs, ancient trees with brown-red leaves grow.

The leaves of the trees in Liyue are mostly golden, but here, the flowers, plants and shrubs are mostly brown-red, just like the color and the unique terrain of the layered rock abyss.

Jiang Yi and Ying arrived at the transfer station that connected Liyue Harbor to the huge mine called Layered Abyss. From the eastern side, they looked towards the Cinnabar Cliff in the far west.

The huge spiral in the terrain between the east and the west is the entrance to the mine, which the miners awe-inspiringly call the "Mouth of the Abyss."

To the south of the "Jiangyuan Mouth" is the steep Tiangong Gorge, to the north of the "Jiangyuan Mouth" is the ground mining area. Above is the "Fu'ao Valley", the ancient battlefield in the legend.

There once were giant gods that shook the heavens and the earth, fighting day and night, leaving behind this spectacle in the past, present and future.

"That is the battlefield where the Dragon King Ruotu and the Emperor Yanwang fought to the death." Ying said the legend she had heard, "I have been to that place and saw many magnificent brown-golden rock pillars that seemed to have suppressed the demon gods."

"After the attack, the power of the rock element within will turn into a tide, vibrating and resonating layer by layer, forming a terrifying wave like a dragon turning the world upside down, shattering all the weak rocks around it."

That is the echo of the rocks, that is the pain of the earth, that is the remnant of the power of the Rock King, a wonder created by the demon god like the Solitary Cloud Pavilion.

Jiang Yi looked into the distance, and then looked further away. To the northeast of the rocky abyss, there was an extremely huge and complex mountain area called "Qiaoqiao Valley".

And on the south side of his body, there is a place called "Liuli Peak".

"Sparse glass crystal sand", a specialty of the rich layered rock abyss.

In mythology, it was one of the many spiritual minerals that the sun chariot, which was patrolling the earth from the sky, fell to this place and brought with it.

That was the time when the Rock King was still young, and the three sisters of Yozora died in disaster.

The three sisters of the night sky are three moons, three ancient gods.

Of course, at the end of the myth, the Yang Bridle Chariot finally returned to the sky.

One of the three gods representing the moon left behind a pale corpse, which now becomes the bright moon of Teyvat that emits a cold light.

All around came the rumbling sound of machines turning and the clanging sound of mining.

This transit station finally started operating again after the Chasm was unsealed.

Ying did her job as a guide very well.

"A week ago, this layer of rock abyss was sealed by the 'Seven Star Formation'."

"The huge 'Panjian' distributed in various places look like rock swords with runes engraved on them. The outer shell is gray rock, the inside is golden crystal, and the bottom is like a golden cone. It has an extremely powerful suppressive force."

"According to the investigation..."

"The Seven Stars ordered the sealing of the Layered Abyss because they dug up something. That 'thing' caused the entire Layered Abyss to undergo a mutation, forcing them to alienate the miners."

I won’t tell you what it is specifically.

"The Seven Stars want to conduct a secret investigation, so they chose the extremely powerful, extremely wise, and extremely reliable adventurers Ying and Paimon." Paimon put his hands on his hips and looked up proudly.

Jiang Yi clapped perfunctorily.

"We have formed an 'exploration team' with a cartographer named Zhiqiong, a special scholar from Xumi, a security technician from Liyue, a bard from Mondstadt, and others. We are going deep into the deepest layer of the Stratochasm to investigate the source of the anomaly in the Stratochasm." Paimon waved his hand. "Also, don't think of Venti when you hear the word bard. There are many ordinary bards in Mondstadt, right?"

"...I don't think so!" Jiang Yi looked at Paimeng's empty prediction.

Embarrassing?

"Zhi Qiong? You mentioned her name specifically. It seems that this person has left a very deep impression on you." A young woman wearing adventurer's clothes and carrying a backpack appeared in Jiang Yi's eyes.

I really miss her! The woman I met in the game before I traveled through time.

He took out the jade slip and reported his safety to Keqing, Hutao, Ganyu and Shenhe, telling them that he had something to do in Chengyan and would not be going to Yujingtai and Wangsheng Hall for the time being.

“These must be the abnormal things!” Jiang Yi put away the jade slip and looked down. There was a “cage-like object” in the crevice of the cliff. The “cage-like object” looked like two stone flowers above and below that were closed together to form a cage. It had the golden brown color of rock.

"I can't hide it from you!" Paimon nodded. "These strange cage-shaped rock element polymers have caused a lot of trouble for the General Affairs Department."

"According to the investigation of the investigators of Liyue's 'Glorious Mountain Hall', they have grown out of the bedrock of the Layered Chasm in the past two years, and their properties are very similar to the 'things' that were dug up."

"It has been absorbing the surrounding rock energy, slowly weakening the structure of the 'Pan Key'..."

Huishan Hall, in charge of mining.

One of the eight gates of Liyue's Seven Stars and Eight Gates.

Jiang Yi stretched out his hand, his magic power surged, and he picked the entire huge "cage-shaped object".

"Liyue's personnel are cleared out every half a month, but they are like 'weeds that grow again in the spring breeze'. They can't be killed off and will soon grow again, and there are more and more of them, and they deliberately destroy the sealing formation."

"It seems that the things dug down below are trying to escape." Paimon described the horrific scene vividly, "So, Qixing...is a little anxious to send people to find the truth."

Ignore Paimon's words that flatter her.

Jiang Yi calmly swallowed the cage-like object that had been compressed to an extremely small size in one gulp.

Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, and he also tasted minerals.

The stomach of the alchemy cauldron is powerful enough to smelt the ore and metal, and decompose the cage-like object into its most essential power.

"Du Lin's poisonous blood was distorted gold, which has the power to collapse mountains and destroy the earth." Jiang Yi looked at the cage-like objects in the distance, "These cage-like objects, which were born from the foundation stone due to mutation, also contain a special form of disintegration power. Its fragments can be used to attack and destroy the 'Pan Key'."

"If there are enough of them, we can completely destroy the 'Pan Key' you mentioned."

Jiang Yiru witnessed it with his own eyes. "As the Pan keys disappear one by one and the seal changes, the ground will begin to shake. If an earthquake occurs underground, it will be a dangerous disaster."

This disaster, of course, is for mortals.

I still remember that when I was training in my dream, I also experienced a similar layered rock environment.

As for the "cage-like objects" that Paimon mentioned having consciousness, all things in the world, including the elements, have spirits, so it is not surprising that these things have consciousness.

"'Zhiqiong' said that the old miners like to call earthquakes that come and go quickly 'the breath of a lump of meat.'" Paimeng held back his laughter and shared his happiness.

Ying looked helplessly at Paimon who had taken her position as a guide.

Actually, I don’t need you to be my external vocal organ today.

You don't need to be a guide.

Ying looked at Jiang Yi quietly on the side.

"Hmm! A pretty interesting story! Suitable for telling to Ruota! 'There is a fat dragon king in the world whose snoring can shake the mountains. Guess who he is?'" Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows.

"Uh! That shouldn't be necessary!" Paimon chuckled.

However, it does make people curious, did Ruotu become fat due to wear and tear, did he become fat due to lack of exercise, or was he just fat from the beginning... Well, I really want to ask Zhongli.

The abyss of rock has many large man-made machines, large mining carts, cranes that can lift rocks, elevators that transport people and ore, and tracks laid on the road...

Various iron ores, white iron ore, crystal mines, night stones, etc. are exposed everywhere around, like treasures everywhere.

Jiang Yi stared at the track for a few seconds.

Fu Sheng Technology Rune Company has a plan for a Floating Life Train. Due to the special nature of the Floating Life Stone, there is no need to waste resources on laying railways.

But it seems that the mine's transport tracks and minecarts can be improved.

Most of the stones mined from the strata have now been processed and transported to Guiliyuan as materials for building a new city, but the transportation methods are too low.

The new city that Keqing is planning will take a long time to build.

Just post a new project in the company group.

While chatting, Jiang Yi, Ying and Paimeng came to the top of the "Mouth of the Abyss".

"The underground mining area of ​​the Abyss is dotted with bottomless canyons and mines. The structure is intricate and the lighting is dim."

"Because of the earthquake, the pit inside has become more treacherous and unpredictable than before, according to investigators. The geology is more active, and roads that existed before may not exist now, and roads that did not exist before may appear now."

Ying took out a strange blue crystal lamp in her hand.

"This is a catalyst made of 'Lumen Stone' by a Liyue security technician."

"There are many strange things under the abyss. This is necessary to move safely in the darkness below."

"Although you may not need this thing, for safety's sake, let's go together with this lamp."

Jiang Yi stood at the mouth of the abyss.

Get rid of the sights and sounds brought by the clairvoyance and clairaudience.

"Thank you!" Jiang Yi stretched out his hand and held the lamp that brought him comfort and a subtle burning sensation together with Ying.

The burning sensation is nothing more than the power of the lamp rejecting and purifying the darkness in the body.

But the power of the lamp was too weak, so weak that he almost ignored it.

And the burning feeling, I have been bathing in the sun, the four forces in my body are fighting, confronting, suppressing and assimilating, like a magnificent picture scroll of the universe, I myself am like the cold darkness of the universe, the heat of the stars is burning my body all the time, the vitality of the planets is promoting the growth of life, and... the tenacity of the soul.

"Experienced miners can smell unfamiliar odors in a mine and know the dangers." Paimon sniffed, "But I can't smell anything."

"According to the real safety manual, we should bring a few sparrows and determine their condition." She had learned a lot of useful knowledge from her previous experience as a member of the "exploration team".

Saying this at this moment can show how knowledgeable you are.

"Well said. Maybe I can use it when I am reincarnated as a mortal..." Jiang Yi's words made Paimeng's face fall.

Is this a consolation or a show-off?

This mine is very deep, and there are still remnants of the broken Seven Star Formation barrier. The view is getting darker and darker, and only a few mining lamps are on, illuminating the way ahead.

Numerous wooden ladders and ropes that can be climbed up and down and crossed left and right appeared in Jiang Yi's sight.

The scaffoldings are stacked one on top of the other, like building blocks, built against the cliff.

Some underground shrubs grow in the soil, with luminous fluorescent grass next to them, representing the density of earth vein energy, like tiny fireflies competing with miners' lamps.
