My destiny is to go to work in a world that is collapsing

The stone steps should have been very smooth, with clear edges and corners, perfect as works of art. Even if I had OCD and looked closely at them, I couldn't find any faults.

Of course, this was only once.

The stone steps, which had been buried by ice and snow for countless years, now have cracks and sections, and are incomplete and dilapidated, but their essence still cannot be changed.

Stone steps appeared deep in Longji Snow Mountain. This is by no means normal.

"Let me confirm, monsters like Qiuqiu people should not be able to create stone steps, right?"

"Yes, they will simply use stones to build houses, or split wood into irregular pieces. Even though there are Chuqiu camps in many places in Mondstadt, the houses there are not as good as human craftsmanship. It still looks rough and crude."

Yura came to the stone steps and leaned down to observe carefully.

"And the stone steps here... considering their dilapidation, they should have gone through an extremely long period of time. There is an old house in the Lawrence family that was passed down from hundreds of years ago. Even the stone steps of that house are obviously not as dilapidated as the ones in front of them. Considering the harsh environment of the snow-capped mountains, the stones chosen for these stone steps should be extremely precious, strong and beautiful. Correspondingly, the manufacturing process is not inferior to that of Mondstadt's current craftsmen."

In the ancient times, there might have been people living on Longji Snow Mountain, and their level of civilization was no less than that of a group of people in Mondstadt today.

Yola, Amber, and Ying all had the same idea, and understood that they had touched upon a huge secret..A harsh environment like the Longji Snow Mountain is obviously not suitable for survival.

Why did a group of people, or even a civilization, who had architectural craftsmanship no less than Mondstadt in ancient times disappear without leaving any clues outside the snow mountain?

Yora and Amber were very upset. As members of the Knights of the West Wind, they both believed in protecting Mondstadt. When they discovered that a once glorious civilization had passed away silently, they naturally felt panic.

"Even the demon god will become lonely as time goes by and be forgotten by the world. It is not too unbelievable that the country established by mankind will one day be destroyed."

Hua Yi saw the girl's mood and offered words of comfort.

"What we have to do is to grasp the present and the future that we can influence. As for further things, excessive worry will only add pressure to ourselves."

Yola and Amber's moods could not calm down immediately, but they did not want to worry Hua Yi. They both nodded and continued to follow Hua Yi. After walking through the stone steps, located in the depths of the snow-capped mountains, was a former It was also covered in snow, but now it has been cleaned up by the power of the wind element, revealing its original appearance.

The building is very incomplete, and its original purpose cannot be seen. We can only vaguely imagine it from the tall stone pillars and dome that have been barely preserved until now. It shows how majestic it once was when it was complete, as well as its exquisite architectural craftsmanship.

If we could say that when we saw the stone steps before, we could still think of them as a small category of manufacturing technology, then now we can see that there are many building ruins. Years ago, there really was a civilized group on Longji Snow Mountain.

Seeing Youla and Amber falling silent, Ying tentatively spoke.

"How about making a fire here?"

Although this is not a cave, there are buildings that can block the wind and snow. It feels like it is no problem to find a suitable shelter to sleep, let alone make a fire and cook food.

"Um."

Hua Yi originally planned to help, but the girls felt that he was very tired. He was weakening the cold wind, and he was constantly clearing the way forward with the power of the wind element. No matter how he thought about it, he needed to consume physical strength and energy, and he felt that he had not performed well along the way. Many girls agree that Huayi should have a good rest.

There is a kind of tiredness called girls think you are tired.

Past experience tells Huayi that this kind of tiredness does exist. If you don’t take a good rest according to the girl’s requirements , it will make them grieve and care about it, which will have an impact on various things in the future.

While the wind and snow in Longji Snow Mountain are still raging outside the building, sitting by the warm fire, Hua Yi He did not say"There is still some distance between here and the location I found out." He watched the beautiful girl busy preparing food while silently sorting out the information. The previous honeysuckle tree was obviously a dead tree that was growing in spring rather than a seed sprouting. In addition, With the stone steps and ancient ruins that we see now representing civilization, we can roughly draw a conclusion - in the extremely ancient era, with a high probability that it was earlier than Barbatos became the god of wind, this area should not have been called In Longji Snow Mountain, ancient trees full of vitality and power grow.

The environment around the ancient trees is beautiful with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. Human beings gather here to survive, reproduce and develop.

Later something happened, at least because of the intervention of demon-level beings. , the ancient tree died.

What destroyed the ancient tree was a blow filled with ice elemental power. The ball in the backpack was the scaly claw of that blow. The strong ice elemental power brought severe cold, making the ancient tree disappear. The place sheltered by the trees with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers has become a desperate place where humans can hardly survive, which is now the Longji Snow Mountain.

The humans who originally lived here may have died directly from that blow, or they may have survived, or they may have been with each other in sorrow. Their own homeland will live and die together, or find a new habitat.

During the old Mondstadt period, the Frost Kings, including Andrius, the King of the North Wind, whose very existence would bring severe cold, may have further worsened the situation here. The situation.

Until Barbatos became the God of Wind and used the power of the Seven Rulers of the World to reshape the bitter cold environment of Mondstadt, and because of concerns about the Sky Island, he gave up changing the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain, which itself was reduced to this place because of the Sky Island.

Of course, this is all Hua Yi's guess.

Maybe Wendy wasn't worried about Sky Island back then. She just had limited divine power and ignored the snow-capped mountains after considering the pros and cons. Or maybe there was a deeper reason.

There might even be a reason why Sky Island would end the civilization here. Yes, after all, Mondstadt has existed for thousands of years, and Sky Island did not destroy Mondstadt.

"The sky and the abyss, the Eye of God and the earth's veins, plus the seven earthly kingdoms, the situation on the continent of Teyvat is very complicated."

"What?"

"Just talking to myself, do you want to eat?"

"That's right! Steaming sweet flower-stuffed chicken, hehe, luckily I brought enough ingredients and seasonings, and it was super enjoyable to eat warm food in the snowy mountains."
