Genshin Impact: The Opening Falls in the Cave of Immortals

"Just ask."

"Now you are Barbatos? Or Wendy?"

How should this question be described? It's a little strange to ask.

After all, everyone knows that Barbatos is Wendy, and Wendy is Barbatos.

It's just that Li Mochen would ask this question, which naturally has other meanings.

In his opinion, the current former Fengshen has two identities.

The name Barbatos is itself a divine name bestowed by Sky Island, representing the position of Sky Island.

The name Wendy was chosen by himself, which is equivalent to representing Wendy's personal position.

That is to say, if it is Barbatos who appears here, then it can be considered that Barbatos at this time cannot be trusted.

Anyway, if Wendy appeared, then it was Li Mochen's friend and someone he could trust.

However, when she heard this question, Wendy smiled and shook her head.

"You are thinking too much. I am who I am. No matter what my name is, my essence will not change."

"Is that so? It's your intention to level the peak of the pointed hat and set up a barrier in the sky?"

"Indeed, because doing so is protecting human beings, not Sky Island."

Sure enough, it seemed that Li Mochen already knew everything. It was really troublesome.

But now it's not two thousand years ago, those guys should still be asleep, so there's nothing wrong with explaining it.

When she thought of the three figures sitting high on the throne, Wendy couldn't help shivering.

It's just that although Wendy's words sounded a bit strange, Li Mochen could roughly understand what he meant.

The gods are afraid that the secrets of the sky will be exposed, so Wendy destroys the places where they might peep into them.

On the surface, it seems to be protecting the gods, but in fact, it may be protecting the human beings.

Because as long as humans discover the secrets of the gods, the result is probably only a dead end, just like Leonard.

"Is it because those who discover the secrets of the sky will be executed by the gods?"

"It would be fine if only one or two people were executed, but in fact, to the gods, even the life of a country is nothing."

"What? The life of a country?"

"Let's go over there and sit down and talk. It may take a while to explain, but you'll understand after listening."

Seeing Li Mochen's surprised expression, Wendy pointed to the cape not far away.

And the direction of the cape he pointed was the snowy mountain facing Mond.

There is a huge snow mountain between Mond and Liyue, which is also the highest mountain in Mond area today, "Longji Snow Mountain".

A few months ago, Li Mochen had climbed that snowy mountain, where he met Ying and Abedo for the first time.

But when he sat on the edge of the cliff with Wendy, watching the towering mountain.

What Wendy said next took him by surprise.

"Have you seen that snow-capped mountain? It used to be a prosperous country called "Shal Findner"."

"A prosperous country? When did someone build a country in that kind of place?"

Li Mochen raised his head and looked at the top of the snow-capped mountain. It was hard to imagine that such a place once had a large-scale civilized society.

"That was a long, long time ago, and even I was only just having a form."

Wendy also looked at the snow mountain, but what he saw was not the snow mountain itself, but the buried past.

Two thousand six hundred years ago, the land of Mond was covered with snow and ice, and the living conditions were extremely harsh.

Most of the ancestors had to enter the King City of Stormwind and accept the rule of King Tower 333 in exchange for shelter.

Only a small number of refugees were scattered on the ice sheet and displaced.

Among them, one ethnic group came to the Snow Mountain area at that time.

However, this place was not covered by wind and snow back then, but maintained its natural green and lush green.

On the barren Mond Icefield at that time, this mountain was a paradise like paradise.

It is ridiculous to say that after more than two thousand years, this paradise is called "Snow Mountain" by the Mond people.

However, the barren ice field that was originally covered with ice and snow has long since become a green paradise on earth.

What caused all this to happen was what the gods did.

I don't know which day, a huge spike fell from the sky, shrouding the entire Findenial in the wind and snow.

In the end, the country built on the snow-capped mountains went to its final destruction in the sudden divine punishment.

"It's not only Findnir who was punished by the gods. There are not a few kingdoms in the world that are destroyed by the will of the gods."

Speaking of which, Wendy also indirectly answered Li Mochen's previous question.

Why did he help the gods to cover up the truth?

Why did he eradicate the peak of the pointed hat and set up the wall of the sky?

Because if you don't do this, sooner or later, the same divine punishment will fall on the heads of the Mond people. .

Chapter 329

After listening to Wendy's explanation, Li Mochen realized why the wind **** always seemed so strange.

Undoubtedly, judging from Wendy's character, he is a **** who will definitely stand on the side of humans.

This Fengshen likes poetry, history, playing, drinking and so on.

He experiences human life by integrating himself into the mundane world.

Like every ordinary person, he spends every day when the sun rises and the moon sets.

This extremely down-to-earth mortal **** is completely different from the high-altitude true gods on the sky island.

Therefore, it is impossible for Wendy to deliberately safeguard the interests of Sky Island, or even help Sky Island to deceive humans.

The only reason why he had to do this was that if humanity discovered this secret, then humanity itself would be wiped out.

On the one hand, under the circumstance of being deceived by others, he can have a quiet and peaceful life.

On the one hand, the disclosure of secrets to the public leads to the destruction of the world, the demise of the country, and the loss of life.

With multiple-choice questions of this level, basically no one will make a wrong choice.

"Damn, is that the case..."

Immediately, Li Mochen could not help but grit his teeth, stretched out his hand and punched the ground beside him.

Indeed, Wendy's words are very reasonable.

Since we live in a world under the protection of this god, we shouldn't go against the gods.

So even if Wendy continues to maintain the interests of the gods and continue to serve the sky island, Li Mochen can't blame what... eh?

Wait, isn't something wrong?

Has Wendy really been working for Sky Island?

If so, why did he choose to give up his "Heart of God" not long ago?

Suddenly, Li Mochen thought of this sudden event that spanned thousands of years and was connected to modern times.

Since Wendy wants to protect mankind from Sky Island in his own way, the throne of Aeolus is crucial.

Under such circumstances, why did he hand over the "Heart of God" to the Queen of Ice?

Without the "heart of God", Wendy essentially returned to the status of a demon god.

In modern terms, Wendy resigned from the "Sky Island" business unit.

After resigning, Wendy was no longer an employee of Sky Island.

Then his right to speak and influence will naturally drop significantly.

From the point of view of protecting Mond, Li Mochen couldn't imagine why he did this.

"Ah, so you've even noticed this? You're really thoughtful."

But when asked this question, Wendy showed a clever smile.

"Indeed, if I continue to hold the "Heart of God", it will naturally be more beneficial for protecting Mond."

"Then you still chose the "Heart of God" to send it out. Could it be that the Queen of Ice needs this thing more than you?"

Judging from what Li Mochen knew about Wendy, he was definitely not the kind of person who would do meaningless things.

The only reason why he needs to do this is that the Ice God really needs the "Heart of God" to do something.

After all, in addition to Wendy, Zhong Li also made the same choice, putting the "Heart of God" into the hands of the Ice God.

Wendy's answer to this question is also quite simple, but still quite shocking.

"I handed over the "Heart of God" to the Ice God, hoping to take a gamble."

"Betting? What?"

"I bet that she can destroy the order established by the aloof "Sky Island" before her own country perishes."

Having said that, Wendy turned her head to look to the far north, where the next round of catastrophe is about to come.

It's just that Wendy's words shocked Li Mochen.

What's the meaning? Does this sound like the gods on Sky Island are about to attack the "Winter Kingdom"?

"Why is this? Why did the gods on the island in the sky do this?"

"It should be that the development of Solstice is too fast now, and it is about to approach the safety line in the heart of the gods."

Throughout history, Wendy has discovered a very scary thing.

That is, all the countries destroyed by Sky Island possess technological power beyond this era.

Whether it was "Shal Findnir" that was destroyed two thousand years ago, or "Black Sun Canria" that was destroyed five hundred years ago.

What they have in common is that their technology is extremely advanced, reaching the point where they can even drive giant mechanical dolls.

The rapid development of technology is obviously a bad signal for the gods.

After all, the more advanced the technology, the weaker the belief in gods.

This truth has already been demonstrated on the earth where Li Mochen was before.

Because people in ancient times didn't have science, they couldn't explain all kinds of natural phenomena that happened in the world.

So they attribute all unexplained natural phenomena to divine gifts or warnings.

The rain is due to the rain god, in order to nourish the earth and enable people to grow food.

The thunder is due to Thor's credit, in order to warn people not to go down the wrong road.

If you think about it from this angle, then it can be said that everything has divine will.

All aspects of the world, the cycle of heaven, is dominated by gods.

This kind of situation is obviously what the gods are most willing to see.

But with the development of science, people gradually figured out the cause of wind, rain and thunder.

After that, people even began to go out of this world and explore the mysteries of the universe.

On this day, the influence of the gods can be said to be reduced to the limit.

So people stop believing in gods and start believing in science instead.

There is no doubt that this situation is the most unpleasant for the gods to see.

As a modern man, Li Mochen clearly understood this set of theories more thoroughly than Wendy.

Because he has indeed seen a modern society where people do not worship or believe in gods.

So the gods chose to destroy the human society before it developed to this point.
