Chapter 45 The Birth of a New Weapon
"I was blind, I was blind! I didn't recognize you at first glance. Please calm down and spare my life! I really didn't expect that it would be you who came to awaken me... Your willingness to use my transformed sword is truly the greatest honor of my life! I didn't pay my respects in time just now because I haven't been out for too long and haven't seen the world for too long. Please punish me lightly!"
After saying that, the primordial power continued to pound the ground violently.
"Wait, wait, my CPU is fried... Why are you so afraid of me?"
Ying couldn't understand why this guy was being so respectful to her.
"Thousands of years have passed... My lord... It seems you have forgotten what happened before..."
After saying that, the primordial power sighed, knelt on the ground in a daze, and pursed its lips.
"Huh? Thousands of years? My lord? Why are you calling me that?"
"My lord, do not be anxious. I know you have amnesia, but you actually appeared in Teyvat thousands of years ago. As for me, I am just an insignificant member among many ordinary Daedric Lords. I am merely a Daedric Lord who gains combat power by borrowing weapons, and even now, I do not know what I am good at. Thousands of years ago, an immense catastrophe ravaged Teyvat, and I survived only by sealing my own power into my sword. Over the centuries, countless people have picked up and used my sword, but no one has been able to activate me. Finally, more than a hundred years ago, my abandoned sword was discarded at the Temple of the Thousand Winds. I know you, my lord, but... you do not know me... or even Teyvat..."
"Oh? So I'm quite a capable person after all! Could you share some more useful information?"
As Ying spoke, her eyes shone with excitement.
Is Ying finally going to become the lead actress?
"My lord, I am truly sorry, this is all I can remember. For thousands of years, I have been trapped within the sword, and my memories have been worn down considerably. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had to get so close to recognize you. Fortunately, your elemental power activated me, and my consciousness has finally returned! My lord, please take me with you on your journey, and let me serve as your weapon!"
"Alright... I need to give this sword a name then. Let me think..."
Ying felt a headache coming on just thinking about choosing a name.
Shouldn't naming be left to Paimon, who is best at it?
After pondering for a long time, Ying slapped her forehead and finally came up with a name.
"How about we name this sword... Shadow Dance Across the Stream? And you? How about... Little Li?"
Upon hearing her new name, Xiao Li beamed with joy, clapping her hands in agreement like a child.
"What a lovely name! Thank you, sir! After all these years, I finally have my own name! No, I should now call you master."
After saying goodbye to Xiao Li, Ying was then sent off by Xiao Li.
As soon as Ying opened her eyes, she saw Paimon frantically running around in the air, while Yura was trying to give herself artificial respiration!
Immediately afterwards, their eyes met, and the scene became extremely awkward.
"Haha, Ying, I'm so glad you're awake... I just wanted to give you CPR, I absolutely didn't mean to take advantage of you~"
After Yura finished speaking, she awkwardly turned her head to look into the distance.
At this moment, Qiqi muttered, "Sure enough, she's just asleep."
Before Paimon could even realize he was awake, Ying stood up and began searching for the sword's location.
The sword that had been shattered from the sky earlier was reborn after Xiao Li regained consciousness, transforming into a golden light and flying to Ying's hand on its own.
What was once a worthless, scrap metal sword is now resplendent. From top to bottom, the sword shimmers with the light corresponding to three elements, and is also adorned with more intricate patterns and lines. Furthermore, the sword's material has changed from iron to a gleaming titanium alloy.
"Wow! Ying, you're awake? Is this the sword after it's been activated? It's so cool!"
Upon seeing the sword, Paimon immediately forgot about Ying's presence.
"Let me take a look!"
Paimon flew over eagerly, trying to take the sword.
As soon as the sword was taken from Ying's hand, it instantly became a hundred times heavier. Paimon was dragged to the ground and fell so hard she saw stars.
"Wow...there are so many stars in the sky..."
"Hehe, this sword is my personal weapon~ Paimon, of course you can't lift it!"
"What the hell? This is infuriating! I wouldn't even want a tiny sword!"
Paimon crossed his arms arrogantly, while his gaze, though seemingly sincere, drifted toward the sword in Ying's hand.
Liyue.
The monsters of the Layered Rock Abyss wreaked havoc, causing serious unrest in the area.
The local Thousand Rock Army was far from sufficient in number and was no match for the monsters with violent attributes.
After receiving an urgent notice from Yujingtai, the Thousand Rock Army retreated, while the Liyue Seven Stars were calling on those with Visions to come and help defend against the enemy.
Seeing the urgency of the situation, Zhongli had no choice but to notify many immortals in advance to go to the Giant Rock Abyss to suppress the demons.
Once the monsters break out of the Lava Abyss, many residents of Liyue will face mortal danger.
After the immortals left, Zhongli breathed a sigh of relief.
"Morax, if you're so good, why don't you go on stage yourself? No wonder people call you a social outcast..."
"Ruo Tuo, I have already abdicated my divine position, so it would be better not to take action."
Ruoduo scratched his head, utterly bewildered, and then continued eating his snacks.
"How many packs is this today?"
"That is... the 78th pack!"
Underground mining area.
The abyss mages looked at each other, completely unable to think of any other way to escape.
"It's all your fault! If you hadn't failed to plan ahead, we wouldn't be stuck here."
"Don't you bear any responsibility? Releasing so much abyssal matter made the monsters increasingly violent, and the earthquake even caused the road to collapse!"
"I've always disliked you, and you always let us down when it really matters! We're all doomed today!"
"If you hadn't been dawdling and had caught up with us quickly, we wouldn't have missed the best time to escape!"
When faced with imminent disaster, a group of abyss mages did not work together to devise a solution, but instead blamed and shifted responsibility among themselves.
Unbeknownst to them, a person had been floating above them for several minutes.
"Stop arguing! No wonder you can't get things done. So you've already started arguing with each other over such a small difficulty, turning into a complete mess in an instant? I'm so disappointed in you all!"
As expected, what floated above their heads was the sky.
Upon sensing the danger, Kong immediately appeared in the underground mining area.
As soon as he arrived, he heard the abyss mages chattering away about useless things.
The performance of these abyss mages made him feel frustrated and disappointed!
