Chapter 258 Where did Paimeng come from? He unexpectedly attacked
In the flowing river of time, Ye Li skillfully took out a bunch of small props with space and time characteristics from the token. All of these were prepared three days before the arrival of the Maintainer in order to deal with various unexpected situations.
Now that he has been pulled out of the timeline of Teyvat by the turbulence of time and space, Ye Li can only use these props to fly around like light maple leaves blown everywhere by the breeze under the torrent of time.
Looking at the dreamlike images and scenes around him, Ye Li, who had been floating in the long river of time for three months, put the props he took out on the shield formed around his body and crushed them, reinforcing the use time of the space-time shield, but his face was very painful and he said:
"Inventory, my inventory! This is the eighth token."
The sound of weeping is like rootless water, unable to spread anywhere in the long river of time.
Looking at the long illusory river without any movement, Ye Li had to give up this useless behavior. He took out a bottle of pills from his pocket, swallowed them, and began to sit cross-legged to recover his elemental power.
In the long river of time, there is no elemental force that can serve as a supplement, and even recovery by taking elixirs is very slow. Ye Li can be said to have the most say in this.
Now three months have passed, and Ye Li, who has only recovered half of his elemental power, can only communicate slightly with the inner world and get in touch with Buyer in the inner world to learn what happened in Teyvat after he was caught in the turbulence of time and space.
According to the information previously conveyed by Buyer, ten years have passed in Teyvat while he was caught up in the long river of time, the Demon War in the Liyue region has also ended, and his father has been successfully granted the position of Rock God of the Seven Rulings and obtained the authority that originally belonged to the Elemental Dragon King.
As for the defeated demons, most of them were sealed in the deep sea by Morax. Among them, Osel, who jumped the highest and happiest, successfully reproduced the scene before Guyun Pavilion. The huge formation formed by countless rock spears and those defeated demons that had not been sealed were smashed into the deeper seabed.
As for the leader of the West Sea Alliance, according to the gossip that Buyer heard from Inazuma, it seemed that he was chopped to death by Lei Dianying, who had broken through to become a top-level demon god, and flew to the Dark Sea. That scene could be said to have been seen by all the monsters in Inazuma.
His mind fell into an inner world, and Ye Li opened his eyes dazedly. The dazzling sunlight penetrated through the gaps in the leaves of the trees and reached his handsome face, while a faint fragrance of flowers and plants flowed into his nose.
"Ye Li, you woke up more than 20 minutes later this time than last time. It seems that the time and space turmoil you are in is getting farther and farther away from our timeline."
The familiar figure in white blocked the sunlight. Ye Li, who realized that he was being pillowed on his knees, smiled helplessly and looked at Buyer who was smiling gently in front of him and said:
"There's nothing we can do about it. The Inner World was created by trickery, so it's normal to have some flaws, but it's much better than some worlds on the verge of collapse. It's our greatest luck to be able to communicate without obstacles through the connection between the two creators over the long river of time."
"But this also proves that it will take you longer to return. In addition to what you said before, the long river of time will interfere with your perception of the timeline we are in. Even with the help and guidance of the inner world, the cost may be greater than the maintainer sending you into the long river of time."
There was a flash of worry in Buyer's eyes, and he felt deeply powerless about Ye Li's situation. It was the depression that he had no ability to help the other person.
"Okay, don't worry. Aren't you confident in my abilities? It's only a matter of time before I come back. Besides, our contract is still there. I won't break it. If I break it, I'll be beaten by my father."
Looking at Ye Li who was trying to comfort him clumsily, a smile appeared on Buyer's face. Feeling the touch on his head, his lonely mood improved a lot.
Using the same trick he used to comfort Ganyu when he was a child, Ye Li slowly lowered his outstretched hand from Buyer's head, looked at the surrounding forest full of birdsong and flowers and the plain not far away, and said:
"What's the current situation like? The matter between Apep and Amon should be coming soon."
Ye Li began to change the subject, and Buyer answered very cooperatively. The atmosphere between the two changed from heavy to relaxed.
……
Time flows like a long river. The time that Ye Li and Buyer stayed in the inner world passed quickly, and both sides returned to their respective positions.
In Xumi's Jingshan Palace, Buyer opened his green eyes and looked at No. 4 Ye Li who was struggling with his writing. He said in a gentle tone:
"Thank you for helping me for so long."
"Alas, these are just the tasks of the original body. The purpose of our existence is to move wherever we are needed, and to take a break occasionally so that we can live a good life every day."
Looking at No. 4 Ye Li who was revising the article in front of her with a faint smile, Buyer turned her slightly red face to look at the desert. From that direction, she sensed that a force that she hated and even dangerous to her life was accumulating.
Seeing that the power had no reaction, Buyer waved his hand and took out a piece of talisman paper in a very Liyue style. He concisely engraved the things that happened between him and Ye Li in the inner world into it through the dream created by his memory, and then sent it to Liyue through the small teleportation array next to the table.
……
In the main hall office of Tianheng Mountain in Liyue, Gui Zhong nervously picked up the talisman paper that flew out of the teleportation array, which was in sharp contrast to the calm Morax next to him. However, the action of holding the talisman paper in his palm also proved that his mood was not calm either.
Gui Zhong and Morax grabbed one end of the talisman paper and slowly injected their respective elemental powers. As the talisman paper flashed with green light, the two fell into a dream space.
In the space of the dream, the things that Ye Li and Buyer experienced in the inner world were constantly playing, which made Morax and Gui Zhong, who were watching on the side, breathe a sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect that Xiao Li, who has become a primordial being, still likes to slack off. It's really hard for him to take the risk to open up the world."
"After all, given the child's personality, he has made more preparations than you think. He has lived a carefree life over the long river of time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the time to come to the inner world and chat with Buyer."
Morax said this, pointed at Ye Li who was lying on the tree, and said earnestly:
"Now he is in the long river of time and space, and we can't control him. I'm afraid his habit of slacking off will get worse."
"Well, you know Xiaoli's characteristics. Haven't you gotten used to it after all these years?"
"No, I'm just worried that Ye Li's lazy habits will spread to our neighbors, and that Buyer, who used to work diligently, will leave the work to Ye Li's clone."
"Ah, this is not impossible. Why don't we go to Xumi to remind him some other day, as a way to repay his kindness in repairing the nails."
……
In the long river of time and space, Ye Li inexplicably felt a strange fluctuation, and could not help but control the protective shield to slowly approach the location of the fluctuation under the impact of time and space.
A wave appeared in the turbulent flow of the illusory river. Ye Li's action of controlling the protective shield to approach paused slightly, and a powerful suction force instantly sucked Ye Li over.
Realizing that something was wrong, Ye Li quickly took out all the time and space props in the eighth token, crushed them all to reinforce the operation of the protective shield, and resisted the attraction of the huge gravity.
Just as Ye Li was resisting that slight fluctuation, a white figure wearing a starry sky scarf flew out from behind Ye Li, silently and without any fluctuation of time and space, and heavily hit the time and space shield wrapped around Ye Li.
Sensing the strangeness of the collision instantly, Ye Li, who was trying his best to maintain the stability of the space-time shield, turned his head in shock and looked at a familiar figure behind him who was dizzy, and couldn't help but said in surprise:
"Fuck! Paimon, why are you here…"
Before Ye Li could finish his words, he was pushed into the wave by the reaction force of the collision. Then the entire river of time and space became quiet, and the original chaos disappeared.
Paimon slowly came to his senses and stomped his feet in the air angrily. His transparent body disappeared and uttered a cute but serious voice:
"I'm so pissed off, damn Ye Li! How dare you be so disrespectful to me? After all, I am the ruler of time, and I was the one who gave the Eye of God. You don't have to throw me here to make it up."
