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

Since the black mud gushes out and the miners and Qianyan Army evacuate from the middle layer, the main mine tunnel leading to the deep layers has been closed.

Heavy boulders block the path, thereby preventing monsters from the deep layers from reaching the middle layer.

Liyue has never fully explored the giant stratiform abyss. It is far away from the ground and is full of unknown deep areas that cannot be set foot in by experienced miners or elites of the Qianyan Army. Going there rashly is tantamount to seeking death.

During the dark disaster five hundred years ago, Liyue mobilized all its troops, and most of the elite Qianyan Army fought bloody battles in the Layer Rock Abyss to resist the attacks of monsters.

They used their bodies as bait to lead the tide of pitch-black beasts into the depths of the rocky abyss. Only a handful of people came back, and they were all crazy. Seven Stars secretly asked the immortals for help, but even the immortals were helpless.

Since then, the depths of the Strata Abyss have been classified as forbidden areas. Every miner must memorize the survival rules when entering the mine. Unless there are extraordinary circumstances, they are not allowed to leave the mining area without permission and go to unknown areas.

Over the past five hundred years, successive Seven Stars have tried many times to send spies to the depths of the Abyss to explore the details of the war. However, the spies either failed to bring back any useful information and only knew that the depths underground were full of monsters, or they never returned. , died in a dark place, Qixing had no choice but to stop exploring and instead sent an additional Qianyan Army to guard the middle level.

Over the years, there has been no abnormal situation in the Strata Abyss. I don’t know how many miners have raised families and started businesses with high salaries. I don’t know how many high-quality minerals have been transported to Liyue Port and made into weapons, tools and accessories, creating huge value.

The appearance of the black mud broke the peace. Some people who knew about the tragic war five hundred years ago subconsciously regarded the black mud as the remnants of the disaster that year, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

But Hua Yi knew that the black mud was not directly related to the dark disaster.

After finishing the delicious dinner, leaving Ying, Mona and Zhiqiong to chat about girls in another tent, Hua Yi recalled what he had seen and gained along the way.

The environment of the stratified abyss appears unusual, and many details highlight the unique characteristics of the ocean.

It's not like the vicissitudes of life caused by the changes of time, but more like a powerful force forcibly changing the environment.

Letting Ying and the others rest in peace, Hua Yi used his space authority to disappear into his own tent and appeared in front of a seemingly normal rock wall.

The elemental power flowed according to his will, turning into a gentle yet sharp blade, cutting the rock wall layer by layer until the pale thing contained inside was exposed to the air again.

The skeleton of an unknown giant creature

"Long periods of time may lead to biological evolution, resulting in differences in the shapes of similar creatures. However, depending on the living environment and living habits, birds flying in the sky, beasts walking on land, and fish swimming in the sea have different skeletal structures. There will be obvious differences, and the evolution is far more distinct than that of the same species."

Having a photographic memory, he has read countless books on the Collapse World and the Teyvat Continent, and has almost all the knowledge of the two worlds in his mind. He can"read" a lot of information from the fossils in front of him.

"The skeletal structure is suitable for underwater survival, and it is a pressure-bearing model similar to a deep-sea environment rather than a lake. The stratified abyss was once a sea."

The vast knowledge accumulated over a long period of time is being used by Huayi

"The Liyue classic"Stone Book Collection" records:"In the early days, King Yan came to settle down, retreated the sea tide, established a sky scale, and suppressed the tidal current.’——After this record comes the Demon God War. Perhaps the Rock God once came to the Rock Abyss and changed the terrain, or maybe the nail of punishment that is now certain to exist destroyed countless marine life and cut off the sea water of this land when it fell?"

The power of the god level is enough to change the world. This is a fact proven in many places in Mondstadt and Liyue. What Hua Yi really wants to explore is the target of the Punishment Nail.

Is it the kingdom of humans or some kind of marine life? Group?

Stretch out your fingers, touch the bones lightly, and then gradually apply force until cracks appear when you press it, completely shattered, and turned into powder.

"The Demon God War ended 2,600 years ago, which means that this fossil has spent at least thousands of years. Even if it was killed by a tyrannical external force and quickly buried in the soil, the structure is so intact that there is no break. And it still maintains this strength under the baptism of time, proving that the giant creature was extremely powerful during its lifetime."

So-called monsters such as slimes, Qiuqiu people, and even Qiuqiu thugs are not the enemies of giant creatures at all.

If such giant creatures are ordinary individuals in the corresponding group, and the number reaches a certain level , they are more like the protagonists of Teyvat.

Hua Yi stepped forward, and with each step, his body disappeared in a flash and appeared in front of another distant rock wall, breaking through the rock layer to reveal the fossils inside..In just a few dozen minutes, hundreds of fossils were discovered

"This kind of density... It seems that I should re-evaluate Sky Island. Are they indigenous people born in this world, or are they outsiders who crossed over to Teyvat to eliminate the original overlord?"

The answer to the question is related to the original appearance of Teyvat. The giant rock abyss may hide secrets that are older than the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain. He fell into silence and studied for a while, then used the power of rock elements to bury the fossils into the rock layer again.

Wait until Hua Hua When Yi returned to the tent, it was already several hours later. Ying and others had enough rest and packed their luggage energetically.

"Zhiqiong, everything you saw and heard on your journey to the deep layers of the Rock Abyss cannot be publicized to the outside world. Is this possible?"

After chatting casually with Mona and Ying, Hua Yi warned the young adventurer girl

"Um!"

Zhiqiong nodded vigorously.

"I won't tell you until I die."

It's not an exaggeration for reassurance, nor is it a false lie. The girl is serious.

If someone really presses her in the future, she will keep it secret even if she loses her life.

Anyway, she should have died when she fell into the black mud. , Master Huayi appeared in time and extended a helping hand. From then on, this life no longer belongs to him.

"I won’t say it either!"

Next to her, Mona took the initiative to make the same assurance.

Her duty is to sort out the earth's veins, nothing more.

Astrologers who pry into the true destiny know best that there are unknowable and unspeakable things in the world. The most basic thing is not Li. Yueren himself should not tell others about Liyue's secrets.

Seeing Zhiqiong and Mona making guarantees one after another, Ying blinked twice.

"Should I too……"

"Don't be so nervous. I'm just emphasizing that there may be things in the depths of the abyss that are not suitable for widespread publicity. I don't mean that you must make a contract. Let's go, ahead is the entrance to the deeper underground."
