The force of light is one of the three basic forces that build the world.

It is also the main culprit of the ‘holy soil transformation’ that Kaiji Island is experiencing today.

The wild light realm power will change the surrounding environment, making the already barren island even more barren, making it impossible to even live in it.

The carriers that caused this phenomenon to occur were the dragon lizards living in Yuanxia Palace.

Bai Qiyun knew something about dragon lizards, but had never dealt with them directly.

In some of the classics of the future world, he knew that in the past era of the Teyvat continent, even before the gods, this world was ruled by dragons.

The dragon lizard is one of the mutants that continues the dragon bloodline.

The powerful ones among them will continue to inspire their ancient bloodline, thereby gaining the power of dragons.

For example, the ancient rock dragon lizard that once wreaked havoc in Liyue and was put down by the Qianyan Army was one of them.

Speaking of which, when these guys reach their peak of evolution, will they become powerful beings like Ruoduo Dragon King?

Bai Qiyun didn't know, but what he knew was that whether it was the wild light realm power or such a race with certain intelligence, he had to get in touch with it.

After all, these things are all buried under Haiji Island. If something happens one day, there will be trouble.

And speaking of the power of light...

Bai Qiyun looked at his palm.

His current body is condensed by the power of the stars, and something unexpected may happen when he encounters the power of the light world.

But it's just a body, so it's not a price that cannot be paid.

"Forget it, since you have decided to go on your own, I can't stop you, but Haiji Island really can't devote more resources to Yuanxia Palace now, so you have to handle the rest by yourself."

"Ah, of course."

"Save the use of those three witches. I guess you won't have any new recruits for a long time."

After Xinhai heard Bai Qiyun's decision, he immediately understood why the three witches who made mistakes were exiled to Yuanxia Palace.

After all, how could a shrine be built without a shrine maiden?

Shinto knowledge and literacy cannot be cultivated in just a few days, and it certainly cannot be achieved by ordinary people.

A shrine maiden who made a mistake is still a shrine maiden. Her skills and knowledge will not disappear. If she throws them down, she can handle other matters of the new shrine.

And maybe because of the special nature of the shrine, there might even be an 'acting palace minister' among the three people.

Thinking this, Xinhai Qiong's nose wrinkled slightly.

No matter what she did, she actually managed to create a being on the same level as her, who was clearly three criminals...

"Don't worry, I know."

Seeing Bai Qiyun's confident look, Xinhai sighed softly, took out a map from the side and handed it to him.

"This is the map of Yuanxia Palace. Although it is old, there should be no changes there. I have marked some of the dangerous areas. You should try to avoid them."

"Oh, that's really helpful."

Although Bai Qiyun has the help of his clone and can rely on his feet to explore, having a map can save a lot of trouble.

"let me see..."

At first glance, Yuanxia Palace looks like broken islands floating in the sky, scattered piece by piece in the space.

A place like this can slip into the void if you are not careful. It can be said that there is danger everywhere.

If Bai Qiyun had not mastered the ability to fly, it would be difficult to travel back and forth in such a place with just the wings of wind.

The entire Yuanxia Palace is roughly divided into five areas, as well as some surrounding small islands.

Among them, only a part of the passage leading to Yunxia Palace is completely controlled by Hajijima, which is called the Snake Heart Land.

Because Haiji Island sends people down from time to time, the safety of the surrounding area can be ensured for the time being.

But this place is still some distance away from the core area of ​​Yuanxia Palace, so if you want to investigate the light realm power and the dragon lizard, you still have to go deep.

"Um...."

Bai Qiyun stared at the map for a long time, his fingers moving back and forth on it, as if he was choosing something.

Not long after, he suddenly pointed to an area at the core of Yuanxia Palace, a place called the ‘Dairi Yuyu’.

"This is the location for the new shrine."

"That place... is an unexplored dangerous area, and it should be the place where the power of the light realm is strongest."

Seeing Bai Qiyun's choice of location, he frowned slightly.

She didn't like the boy's risky behavior.

Bai Qiyun saw her worry, couldn't help but grab her smooth and white hand, and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I still have a sense of propriety, and it's just a clone."

"Not even a clone, life is precious."

The two of them didn't argue about this issue for long before there began to be more witches in the shrine.

A public trial of two people from the Chamber of Commerce will be held today, so the more people, the better.

Seeing Luzi coming over to ask about today's affairs, Xinhai reluctantly let go of the man's hand.

This scene happened to fall in the eyes of the miko named Luko, and she was immediately startled.

Mr. Gong Si, would you behave like this with a man?

This is against the witch regulations.

But before she had time to think about it, Xinhai's next words instantly calmed her mind.

"An announcement will be issued this afternoon to hold a public trial."

"Public...public trial?"

Luzi's mouth opened wide, as if she could stuff two potatoes into it.

If she remembered correctly, the last public trial on Haiji Island was more than seventy years ago. Why was it suddenly restarted?

"Well, Lord Xinhai, I would like to ask rashly the reason for this public trial..."

"Well, it's nothing to tell you. It's 'treason'."

After all, it was going to be announced soon, so naturally Xinhai was too lazy to keep hiding it.

But as soon as these words came out, Luzi's expression became a little ugly again.

There is no fool who can become a shrine maiden. "Treason" at this point in time is hard not to remind people of the ended resistance war.

Is this what was found during the subsequent investigation?

"I...I know, I will inform everyone right now."

Luzi didn't dare to ask any more questions and left the shrine in a hurry.

Not long after, there were waves of exclamations coming from the village.

Then there was a lot of yelling and cursing, not to mention how unpleasant the words were. Even from thousands of meters away, Bai Qiyun's enhanced ear power could still hear them clearly.

But it is not difficult to understand, is it treason? Moreover, during the war, the families of those martyrs will definitely not give such people a good look.

In this atmosphere, even if it is not related to the war, treason and collaboration with the enemy will probably be drowned out by the angry voices of the public.

Not to mention the fact that Naruno and the others were collaborating with the enemy during the war. If they were dragged out on a parade, they would probably be dead in half a day.
