Chapter 86 Advancing to Sumeru, the Wind God Enters the Abyss
"Morac, besides the seven elemental gods, are there any other gods in Teyvat?"
Xunfeng asked a question out of curiosity.
"During the War of the Demon Gods, there were thousands of gods. To this day, the only demon gods I know of who are in the public eye are the seven gods who control elemental power. However, I suspect that there are also god-level combat forces within the mysterious Abyss of Gods."
"Oh dear, Paimon hasn't delivered on her promise of the wine she gave me! I have to find her myself."
Suddenly remembering the promise made to Barbatos, I became instantly excited.
"Barbatos, you won't save Paimon without wine?"
Ying put her hands on her hips and pouted angrily.
"Haha, how could that be? Not having alcohol won't affect the friendship between Paimon and me."
"What should we do next?"
Unable to make up her mind, Ying looked helplessly at the others.
"Let Paimon stay in the Hall of Rebirth for now. I'll try to find clues about the Abyss."
After a moment of contemplation, Barbatos smiled and volunteered.
"Hehe, the wind is everywhere, even in the abyss, I can come and go as I please."
"By the way, let Ying keep the Wind God's Eye for me. I probably won't be back for a while."
After saying this, Barbatos handed Ying a divine eye, then transformed into a wisp of breeze and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing Barbatos personally take charge, Ying's tense mood eased slightly.
"Sigh, I hope Paimon can come back safely."
"Now that we have the Eye of the Wind, then... Paimon is temporarily in your hands, Morax. It's time for us to head to Sumeru."
"Okay, if you need help, just use the light element to stimulate the Geo Eye on your body, and I will come as soon as possible."
After their conversation, Xunfeng and Zhongli gave each other a solemn hug.
Immediately afterwards, he turned and walked toward Walnut's room.
"walnut?"
As soon as Xunfeng entered, he saw Hu Tao sitting on the bed, lost in thought.
Hearing someone call her name, Hu Tao hesitated for a moment before regaining her composure.
"Hu Tao, I'm about to set off for Sumeru. Do you want to come with me?"
"Xunfeng...I...I miss Grandpa...I dreamt about him last night..."
Hu Tao choked back tears as she wiped them from the corners of her eyes.
"In my dream, Grandpa... kept smiling at me... and gently... stroking my hair."
As she spoke, Hu Tao burst into tears, her reddened eyes brimming with tears.
The tears glistening in Hu Tao's eyes revealed an unspoken sorrow. In an instant, Xun Feng also sensed her inner fragility and helplessness.
"walnut……"
Knowing he wasn't good at comforting people, Xunfeng could only lean against Hu Tao, sit down, and hug her, wiping away her tears.
"Don't be sad. Grandpa wouldn't like to see Hu Tao crying either, would he?"
"But... I just miss him..."
After saying that, Hu Tao began to stare blankly, gradually sinking into her memories.
……
"Waaah! Grandpa, my clothes are torn!"
"Good boy, let Grandpa take a look, and Grandpa will sew it for you right away."
"Hehe, Grandpa's the best!"
……
"Grandpa, it's your birthday today! Hehe, I've prepared a big present for you!"
"Haha, Little Walnut, you are my greatest gift~~"
……
"It's raining! Grandpa, let's have a race to get back to the Rebirth Hall!"
"Walnut, slow down! Be careful, the ground is slippery, don't fall!"
"Grandpa, I won!"
"Walnut is great, Grandpa has to admit defeat."
……
"Hu Tao, if Grandpa is no longer here, will you cry?"
"Hmph, Hu Tao is very strong! Hu Tao won't cry! No, Grandpa will never leave Hu Tao, so don't say such bad things!"
"Haha, even if Grandpa is really gone, he will definitely become a star in the sky and watch over you forever."
Going back to reality.
"grandfather……"
"Hu Tao, are you feeling better?"
After a long silence, Xun Feng heard Hu Tao speak again and quickly looked down to observe the situation.
“I… am feeling better… Grandpa is watching over me from heaven, I can’t let him see me like this.”
As she spoke, Hu Tao bravely jumped off the bed.
After wiping away her tears with a tissue, she rallied and returned to her usual self.
"I apologize for making you see me like this. I'm just a little emotional because I haven't dreamed of Grandpa in a long time. Let's go, let's go to Sumeru together."
After saying that, she picked up her hat, and a smile returned to her face.
"Move out! Head towards Mount Sumeru!"
Inside the abyss.
"Hey, this is my first time here. I always thought it would be dark and gloomy just from the name. I didn't expect there to be so many bright light sources here."
Barbatos muttered to himself as he cautiously looked around.
Looking at the empty ruins, Barbatos began to ponder seriously.
"Hmm... let me think, where is the most likely place for gods to appear..."
"Alright, we'll have to search the place with the strongest abyssal aura first."
