Chapter 123

Sumeru, Desert, Rocky Desert

At this time, three figures with black cloaks covering their faces were walking in the yellow sand. Each of them had a gorgeous ring on the finger of their right hand.

One of the figures lifted up the hood of his cloak to reveal the face of a middle-aged man: "My apprentice Silk's aura has become a little strange. I'm afraid he has encountered something. Prophet, didn't you predict it?"

The second man in a cloak sighed and shook his head: "No, it's not like you don't know what has happened in the world recently. My eyes seem to be out of order. What I see is completely different from what is happening."

"This must be because someone has surpassed me as the source of power, interfering with my foresight."

His eyes that see the future can only see what is happening in this world. He cannot see what is beyond this world, and the information he obtains may even be completely different from reality.

He could guarantee that in this world, apart from Sky Island, even the gods of the Seven Nations could see some fragments of the future.

It was through his eyes that they, the inheritors of Khaenri'ah's 'national treasure,' escaped Sky Island's annihilation and even escaped the curse of heaven.

One of the cloaked men, who was strong and looked very powerful, snorted coldly: "What happened seven days ago is simply unbelievable.

It definitely couldn't have been done by Sky Island."

"The tyranny of Sky Island is mainly to make the world of Teyvat a plane. Does it still need to maintain the false sky?"

"I think there must have been some opportunity outside of Teyvat that prompted it to become a plane world."

Their inheritance contains all kinds of knowledge about the 'world.'

It can be said that they know the world of Teyvat best, apart from the 'Original People.'

The Extremely Evil Knight nodded: "Yes, the one on Sky Island has probably fallen into a deep sleep. Unless there is a disaster that destroys Teyvat, he will not wake up. This is our chance."

The prophet Visefnir sighed and said: "The power of the abyss in this desert has been purified. Does this mean that the sealed door of Khaenri'ah can also be opened?"

Surturach said: "If you don't know, how can we? Hmph, the abominable tyrant of the heavens. Not only did he fail to save the people of Khaenri'ah, but he also turned them all into Hilichurls. Damn him!"

"One day, we will overthrow the throne of Sky Island!"

Speaking of this, his eyes were full of hatred as he looked at the floating island that was vaguely visible in the distance.

The Extremely Evil Knight said: "One day, the world will become a plane, which means that the world of Teyvat has broken away from the order established by the tyrant."

"There must be much uncontrolled world authority in the plane world. As long as we obtain some of it, we will overthrow the throne while waiting for the fourth descendant to reach the end."

Surturach asked: "What about the Prince, who is trying to become the second throne? He is no worse than his sister, and even slightly better in some aspects."

The prophet smiled: "If things proceed as I have seen, the abyss will eventually submerge the throne, and we, Khaenri'ah, will be reborn in the abyss. Only the collapse of the throne and the power of Khaenri'ah can lift the curse."

"Teyvat has become a plane, so His Highness the Prince, who is trying to master the abyss, will definitely be stronger, and our chances of winning will increase."

The Extremely Evil Knight nodded: "Although we have some conflicts with him, he still cares for Khaenri'ah. After all, we summoned their brother and sister, who are the most important force in overthrowing the throne."

Surturach said: "Alright, let's hurry and see if we can tear open the tyrant's seal and let the land of Khaenri'ah return."

At this moment, the prophet Visefnir's eyes suddenly stung, and he covered them in pain. Drops of blood flowed down his cheeks from his eyes.

He suddenly shouted.

"Damn it! We've been tracked by the tyrant! The tyrant is not sleeping; he has been searching for us. I see it—we're going to die!"

The Extremely Evil Knight's face changed drastically. "What? When?"

The prophet Visefnir instantly raised his head and looked at the sky, his face covered with blood flowing from his eyes, and he said in fear.

"Right now!"

The Extremely Evil Knight and Surturach immediately raised their heads, their faces twisted in fear.

The moment they raised their heads, the previously endless blue sky without a single cloud darkened.

Swirling clouds appeared at an unimaginable speed.

It was as if the sky above them was rotating, and the center of that rotation was directly above their heads.

Rumble, rumble, rumble—

Thunder and lightning flashed in the thick rotating clouds, and absolute zero-degree cold winds instantly blew through the hot desert.

Crack, crack, crack—

A harsh sound echoed in the desert. It was the sound of the ground being frozen by the absolute zero-degree cold air. The ground was freezing at an incredibly fast rate.

The energy in the leyline network beneath the land stopped flowing instantly, as if the land was about to die.

Whoosh—

In just a few seconds, the originally yellow sand-covered desert turned into a vast expanse of white. The cold wind, capable of shattering stones, continued to sweep across the land.

The Extremely Evil Knight watched as an icy blue light appeared in the center of the rotating clouds, and something resembling a pillar fell towards them from the icy blue light. He shouted in horror.

"This is the Frost Nail of the Heavens! The tyrant of the heavens wants to nail us here! Run!"

The Frost Nail of the Heavens is not merely a curse that transforms the people of Khaenri'ah into Hilichurls.

It is a terrifying sanction that ends all life on the land and freezes everything, including the leylines, as if time itself had stopped.

Even the tyrant of the heavens did not cast this 'all-ending sanction' on Khaenri'ah during the catastrophe.

But as soon as he finished shouting, he discovered that not only was his energy frozen and unusable, but even his power from outside the world was blocked.

The prophet Visefnir screamed in fear: "My power is imprisoned, and I cannot open the portal of the abyss!"

They relied on abyssal teleportation technology to evade the pursuit of the heavenly law enforcer and the gods of the Seven Nations.

With such technology, they could continue to hide in the lands of the Seven Nations.

Without the portal, they would be at the mercy of the heavenly law enforcer and the Seven Gods, unable to defend themselves.

If it had been Phanes, they might have had a chance to run even if the Frost Nail was cast.

But what Takumi had thrown was not an ordinary Frost Nail; it was a spear imbued with the supreme order.

The 'Supreme Order' is the operating rule of this new 'Teyvat World.'

As long as one is in the world of Teyvat, they are bound by the 'Supreme Order.'

If one wishes to resist the constraints of the 'Supreme Order,' they must have the power to contend against the entire world.

Thus, under the 'Supreme Order,' all beings are equal.

"Aaaaahhh—"

Amid the hysterical shouts of the three, the Frost Nail slowly descended from the rotating clouds.
