Genshin Impact: The Opening Falls in the Cave of Immortals - Chapter 380
But unfortunately, this vortex is not an attack, but a…law.
The so-called “law” is an existence far above power.
Power can be overwhelmed by stronger power, but law cannot be overwhelmed, because this is the law of the world.
When this power representing the “time storm” reappeared in the world, the Bloodstained Knight and Li Mochen couldn’t help being sucked in.
It really sucked in, and when it was sucked in, even the blood-stained knight couldn’t resist at all.
After being sucked into the interior, what appeared in front of the two of them was a chaotic corridor of time.
This promenade is like a huge vortex with no end, and the deepest part of the vortex seems to be connected to the starry sky.
When he was sucked in here, the blood-stained knight was at a loss, but a familiar voice appeared in Li Mochen’s ear.
“Fly in the direction of six o’clock, hurry up.”
Ah? This voice is… Paimon?
With such a distinctive voice, Li Mochen naturally couldn’t hear it.
But why does Paimon’s voice appear here?
And Paimon seems to be guiding Li Mochen how to leave?
No way? Could it be that!
Suddenly, a terrifying answer appeared in Li Mochen’s heart.
But he didn’t have time to think about it, so he quickly flew towards the place guided by Paimon’s voice.
“Stop!”
After reacting, the blood-stained knight followed closely, trying to chase him.
But another vortex flashed by, and Li Mochen’s figure disappeared into the vortex, leaving the blood-stained knight in the air.
This! This is not ordinary power, is it… the power of the law?
Seeing Li Mochen disappear in front of his eyes, the blood-stained knight couldn’t help taking a deep breath.
At the same time, he looked at the extremely chaotic time corridor around him, and for a while he didn’t know what to do.
After all, no matter how strong the blood-stained knight is today, it will take a lot of time for him to find a way out from such a ghost place.
On the other side, after Li Mochen was swallowed up by the time vortex again, what appeared in front of him was a familiar sea.
The sea is so wide that it seems that there is no end in sight, and it is obviously a scene of the sea beyond the “Tivat Land”.
When he appeared, Paimon’s small figure finally came to Li Mochen.
“It’s so…great, I barely caught up.”
Seeing that Li Mochen came here unscathed, Paimon stretched out his small palm and wiped his face.
Although she doesn’t have such a thing as “sweat”, she learns this kind of human-like little action quite decently.
After all, Paimon is very good at learning from others.
In the long history of the past, she has learned a lot, and she has become more and more like a living human being.
Of course, Paimon is not a human being himself, there is no doubt about that.
“Paimon, who the **** are you? What was it just now?”
Above the sea, Li Mochen looked at her small figure, for a while he didn’t know what expression to make.
It can tear apart time and space and bring people into another dimension.
Moreover, he brought a top-level powerhouse like the Bloodstained Knight into another dimension.
Such strength is definitely not something that the creatures living on this continent can achieve.
Immediately, Li Mochen couldn’t help remembering what Wendy had said to him at that time.
“At present, there are only three permanent maintainers on Sky Island. Life, death and space are all there. I have never seen the other two.”
“The other two, are they the “God of Time” and the “God of Law”?”
“Well, according to the records I found on Sky Island, the “God of Law” should be guarding the end of the world, and the “God of Time” is completely missing.”
The “God of Time”, or the “Maintainer of Time”, has long since disappeared.
Even Wendy, who has been to Sky Island many times, has never seen her.
Coincidentally, the maintainer controls the power of time.
The chaotic “corridor of time” just now also corresponds to this kind of power.
Going back further, Rheindot said that Ying was rescued from the “Maintainer of Law” five hundred years ago.
And the one who transferred Ying through the “time vortex” to five hundred years later was also a **** related to time.
Time, maintainer, Ying, Paimon.
Linking so many “coincidences” together, Li Mochen had to think of a very terrifying answer.
This little guy who always flies around with Ying, looks very greedy, but can’t do anything.
Could it be one of the legendary five maintainers, the time maintainer who controls the “law of time”?
“Well… I already guessed it from your appearance. That’s right, I’m the guy you imagined.”
After seeing the change in the expression on Li Mochen’s face, Paimon couldn’t help but sighed and admitted his identity with a wry smile.
I, Paimon, are the legendary **** of time.
If Ying was here, she would be greatly surprised.
This “.ˇemergency food” that always follows me has such a big background.
Indeed, just on the surface, Paimon doesn’t look like a legendary **** at all.
The maintainer who controls the law belongs to the real “Holy God” in terms of strength.
In other words, compared to the “half-step Holy Spirit” like the Bloodstained Knight, Paimon’s strength is more than one step stronger.
But Paimon couldn’t possibly have such a strong strength.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t need to use the time vortex so painstakingly to pull the two in, and then pull Li Mochen out.
The legendary “time maintainer” has to deal with a mere four-pillar lackey. I’m afraid it’s easier than eating a meal.
As for this strange situation, Li Mochen could only use one reason to explain it.
“Paimon, (Li Li Zhao) have you… lost your power?”
After glancing at Paimon’s body that couldn’t see any strong man’s demeanor, Li Mochen couldn’t help asking.
“Strictly speaking, it’s not that I lost my strength, I lost…well, I lost my body and soul.”
“Body and soul?”
“Have you seen the Dragon King Ruoduo and Ah Jiu before? I’m in Ah Jiu’s state now, and I’m just a piece of the soul of the time maintainer.”
Immediately, Paimon spread his hands and put on a gesture of “I don’t want to do a lot of things, but I really can’t do them.”
However, the example given by Paimon is easy to understand, Aju is the soul fragment of Ruoda.
And Ajiu’s power is extremely weak compared to Ruo Tuo deity, and the current Paimon is obviously in this state.
So why did Paimon become like this? What does she have to do with Ying?
Everything has to start with the “shackles of destiny” in this world. .
Chapter 598
For ordinary people, time is a long river, and neither the past nor the end can be seen.
But for the maintainers who manipulate the laws of “time”, time is like a book.
“When my body and soul are all present, I can go back to any point in time and watch what happens at any time.”
Speaking of his peak state back then, Paimon couldn’t help straightening his back, posing an awesome look.
“Can you only see it? Can’t you change it?”
“If you change the past indiscriminately, it will cause a series of time and space paradoxes. I am a maintainer and not a destroyer, so I won’t do this.”
Well, that makes sense.
After hearing Paimon’s words, Li Mochen also nodded.
The legendary five celestial maintainers are responsible for maintaining all aspects of the law.
Last time, a time maintainer like Paimon would naturally not change the past history on his own initiative.
But for those who can swim in the sea of time and see the past and the future.
However, when she was looking through history, she found a very strange thing.
“A strange thing? What a strange thing.”
“I found that the history of this world is always repeating, never ending.”
“Repetitive cycle? What do you mean?”
“It means that every 10,000 years, the world will be restarted. This node is extremely accurate.”
Speaking of which, Paimon couldn’t help sighing.
The so-called “world restart” is to quickly destroy all civilizations in this world and bring them back to their original state.
In this primitive barren condition, recreate human beings.
Let them slowly thrive on this “Tivat Continent”.
Then, when the human beings created have developed to a certain level, and another 10,000 years have passed, the world will repeat this process again.
In other words, the flow of time in this world is not a long river, but a closed loop.
The time flow of the long river belongs to the rushing to the sea and it will never return, and it will never repeat its own flow.
But if the loop is closed, no matter how it flows, it will always go to the beginning.
How… how is it possible? This world is actually… in this state?
After hearing Paimon’s words, Li Mochen couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, because it was too sensational.
Every 10,000 years, the world will be restarted, and all living things in the world will be wiped out.
Then the gods created various creatures again and continued to breed and breed.
After these creatures have evolved to a certain extent, they will be wiped out again, and so on.
In other words, the whole world is just repeating, repeating the same history over and over again.
Whether it’s the “War of the Demons” or “The Rule of the Seven Kingdoms”.
All are things that have happened hundreds or thousands of times in the closed loop of time.
Although the winner of each “Demon God War”, that is, the final “Seven Reigns of the World” is not the same.
However, their numbers, attributes, areas to rule, etc., have long been divided.
Why do all the demon gods of the rock attribute appear in “Liyue”?
Why do all the wind-type demons appear in “Mond”?
This is definitely not a coincidence, but an established fact, a reincarnation that can never be escaped.
In this reincarnation, whether it is a demon, a human or other creatures, they are just a bunch of toys.
Just like a pig kept in a pig cage by the gods, it cannot break through the boundaries of the cage.
In the end, the exact same drama can only be performed in constant reincarnation.
This is not only the “shackle of destiny” that Paimon said, but also what Naberis, the grass god, told Li Mochen before his death.
Enter the gate of primordial… break the… destiny… shackles of this world.
Naberis once said this when he gave his heart to Li Mochen.
At that time, Li Mochen didn’t understand what this “shackle of fate” was, but now he fully understands it.
