Chapter 883: Ways to Fight Wear and Abrasion
"The wear and tear that accompanies everything sounds scary."
Wear and tear is the only ultimate rule that designates the fatherhood on the continent of Teyvat. From ordinary creatures to the great demons, all have to kneel down under the pomegranate skirt of wear and tear.
Just these two words are a golden sign of the opposite extreme in the eyes of those who know the subject.
To make an analogy, it can probably be understood as a deluxe version of the inner demon.
At least you can guard against things like inner demons. If you are stronger, you can just sublimate your state of mind and crush the inner demons.
But wear and tear is different. You can delay the lethality of wear and tear, but you cannot completely avoid the erosion of the ultimate law on you.
Rather than being a demon in the heart, wear and tear is more like cause and effect and "disaster."
To put it another way, if someone can really master the laws related to wear and tear, he can definitely become a big boss.
Or simply be swallowed up and turned into the spirit of law.
Gu Sanqiu was a little panicked, but not to the point of mental collapse.
Since Dad was able to bring this matter up, from another perspective, he should also have a way to deal with it.
Apart from anything else, the title of one of the seven oldest earthly gods alone can give Gu Sanqiu a considerable sense of security.
"The solution is simple: keep improving yourself, no matter what level you are in."
Zhongli said: "Use sublimation to fight against wear and tear. I know what your current situation is, but this is indeed the only way."
"To fight against such a supreme law is like trying to pull chestnuts out of the fire. It is absolutely impossible without taking some risks."
"Strengthening your strength and perfecting your state of mind are both methods. Sublimation is to discard the flawed parts and purify all aspects of yourself, or in other words, to evolve towards a more perfect direction."
Gu Sanqiu was puzzled: "If that's the case, then it means that the reason you guys are suffering from wear and tear now is because your state of mind and strength have reached the point where there is no more room for improvement?"
"That's right."
Zhongli explained: "Just like that drunkard poet, do you think he only shows up once in a while because he's lazy? He's also walking this path, but he's just much slower than me."
"He can now manifest his body and walk in the human world for a long time. One reason is that there is no disaster in Mondstadt now. The only disaster that could barely be called a disaster was suppressed at the source by a group of people you called."
"The strength of the territory and the purity of the people are the reasons why the drunkard poet is becoming more and more powerful. After all, his path is somewhat special, and many things can only be supplemented at this time."
Gu Sanqiu was puzzled: "That is to say, even if Wendy hasn't reached the end of her strength, she's almost there. Diekarapian may also be a newbie on this path, so is it possible for her to improve her state of mind?"
Zhongli looked at Gu Sanqiu meaningfully: "Who knows?"
I understand. Whether it is Dad or Wendy, it is estimated that they will not be able to make any greater improvement in strength in a short period of time, but there may still be some chance in terms of mentality.
Gu Sanqiu noticed it and subconsciously touched his chin.
"In other words, the two oldest and possibly most powerful ruling demon gods stand behind me?"
Suddenly I really wanted to stir up trouble, like saying something like "Why are you such a coward" to Fontaine in front of her.
This is of course a joke.
Only the law of nature cannot be against him. This can be seen as the water god being really cowardly, but it can also be analyzed from another perspective.
That is, the man from Fontaine knew some deeper secret, but he was just pretending to be crazy, perfectly avoiding the "Orobus-style" ending.
The maintainer of heaven's justice , assuming that in the throne battle a long time ago, both of the top bosses had problems, and going against heaven's justice would mean consuming the power of the sky.
As one gains strength while the other loses strength, the people under his rule will definitely be the ones who will have problems, and he may even end up following in their footsteps.
Fontaine will be buried with her.
But what does this have to do with him?
He is just a person with a strong background who is currently thinking of making troubles, and he is a poor guy who has suffered a lot of wear and tear.
"Put away the thoughts in your head, and don't think of going out to get involved just because you know something."
Zhongli said in a gentle tone, "I had the same personality back then. After knowing that my strength exceeded that of most demon gods, I went out to attract hatred and forcibly 'invited' all the powerful men from all directions to fight me."
Gu Sanqiu started eating melons: "What's the result?"
"The result is that he won, but the strong men belonging to the Ten Directions Demon God also remembered that kid. During a siege, they overturned the table and invited the Demon God to leave, hoping to kill the little god completely."
Gu Sanqiu thought for a moment: "And they didn't expect that you, my father, were standing behind Gu Shen Patriarch?"
Zhongli nodded: "Yes, since then, all the demon gods have looked at me differently."
In the past, he was a great demon god who could plan and win battles from thousands of miles away.
But after that, he is probably a cunning old devil with bad intentions who is working with his family to carry out a sting operation.
The simple and crude plan made a group of enemies "re-recognize" Morax, even though this was not his original intention.
It’s not about what you think, it’s about what I think!
You, Morax, are so sinister and cunning!
Zhongli warned: "There are powerful creatures in the underground area. The drunkard poet and I are basically trying not to take action if we can."
"We won't interfere too much in anything unless it's absolutely necessary."
It sounds like there are definitely limitations.
Gu Sanqiu understood. No wonder both his father and Wendy were always sneaky when they attacked him, except when they beat him.
Is this part of the wear and tear?
Wait a moment.
Gu Sanqiu glared: "I have a question, Dad. If wear and tear is the ultimate law, will the people below be affected by wear and tear?"
Zhongli nodded. This rebellious son finally came to his senses.
"Won't."
What the hell!
Our boss was put into various debuff states, while the opponent's boss didn't even mention the temporary strengthening of the battlefield , he appeared at 100% combat power!
"But you don't have to worry. Although they are not troubled by wear and tear, they are not immune to anything."
"The power of the curse is enough to trap a person in the deepest elemental cycle. Even if they are resurrected, it is impossible to recover everything immediately. Their manpower is also very precious."
"Besides, the underground is not a monolithic entity. What you see is only a part of it."
Zhongli shook his head: "Xiao Hei knows more about this. I tell you this just to remind you to be careful. Have you ever seen Xiao relying on my existence to kill people indiscriminately?"
Gu Sanqiu said helplessly: "Isn't this natural, Dad? Brother Xiao is so stubborn that I almost wanted to take your decree to order him to rest. How could such a person make things difficult for you?"
"You should think carefully about how to maintain such a diligent and excellent employee. Where can you find such a good employee if you are missing?"
Gu Sanqiu pointed at himself with dead eyes.
"Do you still need me to guard Dihua Province?"
