Walking on the path of Watatsumi Island, Kokomi was flustered and trying to find reasons to explain herself after being teased by the god earlier.
"Now the people of Watatsumi Island live a life that was unimaginable before. They have no worries about food and clothing, and they have endless land to cultivate. In the coming year, they will harvest plenty, and no one will go hungry again."
"We are extremely grateful to the Shogun, who treats us equally and considers us as her subjects. We will fight for the prosperity of Inazuma."
Having said this, Kokomi glanced nervously at Lord Takumi, who had a smile on his face as usual, and fidgeted with her hands.
"However, Lord Orobashi is also the benefactor who saved the people of Watatsumi Island. He is our savior."
"It is said that a long time ago, the people of Watatsumi Island lived in the dark depths of the sea, fighting for survival against dragon lizards for what little space they had."
"It was Lord Orobashi who brought the people of Watatsumi Island to the surface and created land for us to live on."
"This kindness must not be forgotten, no matter what. Otherwise... it would be ungrateful."
Kokomi hurriedly sped up her explanation, afraid of being misunderstood.
"The people of Watatsumi Island will no longer worship Lord Orobashi, but they still wish to remember his kindness."
After finishing her words, Kokomi's heart pounded, as if it were about to leap out of her chest.
Takumi suddenly stopped and looked at Kokomi.
Kokomi put her hands on her chest and looked up at him with fearful eyes.
Takumi smiled.
"Why are you so scared? I won't condemn you just because of a few words."
After saying this, Takumi reached out, and Kokomi instinctively flinched, but she found that the god only placed his hand on her head.
"Although you are like an ornamental fish, it's commendable that you can hold onto such values. Kindness should be remembered, and being ungrateful is a serious fault."
Kokomi didn't try to undermine Lord Orobashi just because she was now under Raiden Ei's authority. This was a quality that few could achieve.
This quality—the shining virtue of humanity—was what made the holder of a Vision special.
The weight in Kokomi's heart lifted. The god did not blame her, but rather admired her for this quality?
How fortunate it was to have her head touched by a god.
Kokomi bowed her head slightly, letting the god touch her head. "The people of Watatsumi Island will not be ungrateful and will not let the god down."
She secretly glanced up at Lord Takumi's eyes.
Lord Takumi's eyes... were so gentle.
She had the thoughts of someone who wished to serve a god... but Lord Takumi must look down on her. She should at least be like Lady Guuji Yae Miko.
After all, Lord Takumi was a god in the sky, holding a position even higher than the Shogun.
Takumi flicked Kokomi's forehead with his finger. "Kokomi, you think too much."
Kokomi instantly covered her forehead, realizing that her thoughts had been laid bare before the god. Her cheeks flushed, and she felt as if she had turned into a boiled fish.
Isn't it natural for a god to have the ability to read minds?
Takumi said playfully, "It's not impossible for you to be my shrine maiden, but you should at least aspire to become a god in the future."
In the future, Inazuma would inevitably take on the task of annexing many worlds with similar cultures, and Kokomi could have a chance to be part of it.
Currently, every Vision holder in Teyvat had the potential to become a god.
Kokomi thought this was Lord Takumi's way of rejecting her and instantly felt disheartened.
"Lord Takumi, the entrance to Watatsumi Island's abyss is just ahead. However, the seal on the entrance is in disrepair."
Takumi waved his hand dismissively. "There's no need to go through all that trouble."
Kokomi blinked, understanding that the god did not need the seal to be opened.
The next moment, she saw Lord Takumi's figure gradually become transparent, as if merging with the air.
She patted her chest and gave a slight bow. "May everything go well for you, Lord Takumi."
**Abyss**
This was once the area where the continent of Teyvat broke during the 'Original War.' Although Fanes later repaired it, the connection points could not be completely closed.
After all, what connected here was the void—a gap between the red sky and the Teyvat continent.
Although Phanes had defeated the Moon Goddess, he could only control the continent of Teyvat and the white sky.
The red sky was never fully under control, and it wasn't suitable for human habitation.
Phanes had no interest in areas where humans could not survive, so he simply treated the underground sky as a garbage dump.
Anything harmful to Teyvat was thrown into it.
Things like 'forbidden knowledge,' 'abyssal power,' and 'virtual world power system' now all resided in the red sky.
It had become the base camp for the 'Abyss Order.'
The seal opened by the Flower God Marikata for the Scarlet King was the entrance to the red sky.
Takumi appeared on the land of Enkanomiya. It wasn't completely dark here.
White light like sunlight emanated from the 'Dainichi Mikoshi' on the tallest building of the largest floating island, illuminating the surrounding empty space.
Takumi sensed the entire void space and the red sky barrier beneath it.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, all this abyssal power... It seems the sky once ruled by the Moon Goddess has become an abyss exclusive to Teyvat.
"It's a bit like Tartarus—the hell from Greek mythology."
"It seems that after dealing with the careerists of Khaenri'ah, I must master the 'virtual world power system,' or else Teyvat will grow stronger, and the red sky will also grow stronger.
"But fortunately, Phanes' seal on the virtual world power system hasn't been shaken."
"An unexpected surprise indeed. Now Teyvat has a dimension like hell. Later, by annexing Inuyasha's world, Teyvat's reincarnation system could be further perfected."
Takumi calculated his plan while taking a step forward, causing the space in front of him to distort instantly.
In the next moment, he arrived at a floating island no larger than one kilometer in size.
There was only one house on the entire floating island, surrounded by various jars. The jars contained the limbs of various elemental creatures and even the head of an abyss mage.
The largest jar placed in the center held a mass of flesh that exuded a strong aura of the abyss. A trace of divine pressure emanated from it as the flesh pulsed like a heart.
A woman with long blond hair was busy adding the liquid remains of creatures filled with abyssal power to the jar.
