This novel is abandoned. I ruined the framework, so I’m not going to continue writing it.
As purple mist drifts across the reeds of Azure Crystal Lake and the well water in Luoshui Town bubbles with poison, the shadow of Khaenri'ah, dormant for five hundred years, begins spreading through Teyvat’s ley lines once more. Behind this continent-spanning outbreak of Imaginary contamination lies the truth of a destruction sealed away by the Heavenly Principles, along with a series of scattered mysterious fragments. Only by gathering them all can the group stop Abyssal energy from devouring the core of the ley lines.

Lin Che takes a water arrow head-on to protect Hu Tao; the burns from his shattered Geo shield are soothed by the warmth of Hu Tao’s butterfly flames as they clean his wounds.

When the two purple fragments come together in their palms to reveal the outline of Natlan’s volcanoes, the group finally understands that this adventure has long since become about more than simply “banishing evil.” The remnants of Khaenri'ah, the “Prince,” are coveting
The old bookworm is short of books and can't find them, so he can only write one by himself. I wrote it but no one read it, which makes me feel a little disappointed. I can only give myself a five-star rating 🤦
