After listening to the two of them take turns speaking,
Mu Yang finally understood Chasca's situation.
So that was why this young lady always fought so desperately to participate in the Pilgrimage of the Return of the Sacred Flame and the Night Warden War.
It was to vent the desire for battle that raged inside her heart.
After all, there was no more suitable place than an Abyss battlefield.
Being a mediator was not bad,
but most of the time it relied on talking.
If she wanted to fight seriously, it had to be against the Abyss.
Let the Abyss repay the sins it created.
Abyss monsters that were killed: Yes yes yes, exactly right, bro.
"I understand what you mean. You want me to help examine Chasca's condition?"
Elder Allpa confirmed that was exactly it.
She hoped Mu Yang could take action.
Chasca added that ever since she had come into contact with Mu Yang in the wild, the noisy voice in her heart had disappeared.
"If possible, please enlighten us, Elder Mu Yang."
The current Chasca spoke very properly.
This was a new skill she had learned as a mediator.
The power of words was far more sophisticated than violence.
Mu Yang had not known about this little episode.
So that was what Chasca had been muttering to herself about back then.
When they shook hands, Mu Yang had not thought too much about it.
He would definitely not do something like probing a girl's body on their first meeting.
Besides, Chasca had said it herself — the Abyss was extremely cunning.
Sensing danger, it had hidden itself early on.
Due to various factors, Mu Yang had not noticed anything unusual at the time.
Even if he had caught a trace of the Abyss, he would not have said anything.
Because being infected by the Abyss was simply too common in Natlan.
People who had fought the Abyss for years were more or less affected by it.
For example, Atea whom Mu Yang had met among the People of the Springs — she also carried a faint trace of Abyss energy.
But it had not affected their daily lives.
Mu Yang's guess was that this was due to the protection of the Wayob and Natlan's special rules.
Otherwise, if it were in any other nation, it would have caused major trouble long ago.
Being tainted by the Abyss was something even gods could not withstand.
Mu Yang simply had not expected Chasca's situation to be this special.
He asked Chasca to extend her hand. "If you don't mind, let me examine you."
Chasca had been raised by a Qucusaurus after all — her personality was not so reserved.
Especially when it concerned something as important as her own life.
She stretched out her hand. Mu Yang lightly tapped her wrist like a dragonfly touching water.
Because it was a targeted examination, Mu Yang quickly obtained the answer.
The Abyss power was mainly concentrated in two places —
the heart and the brain.
Hearing this, Elder Allpa sighed helplessly.
That was exactly how cunning the Abyss was.
Both places were extremely important and fatal to humans.
It probably had the intention of dragging her down with it.
"Does Elder Mu Yang have any solution?"
Mu Yang was thinking whether Chasca's suffering was related to her Ancient Name…
Generally, such settings existed to serve the plot.
It was just that Chasca herself had to suffer for it.
Mu Yang said, "Before coming to Natlan, I only had one way to deal with the Abyss — eradicate it completely…"
The two fell silent, waiting for Mu Yang to continue.
Since Mu Yang had the ability to purify the Mountain King, helping Chasca should not be a problem.
"And the Mountain King matter succeeded thanks to Natlan's special rules, the Ancient Name, and the power of the Sacred Flame."
Chasca understood Mu Yang's meaning and took out her own black bone fragment — [Vuka].
[Vuka] was Chasca's Ancient Name.
However, unlike Kinich, Chasca's current Ancient Name was the same as Kachina's.
It was merely an identity, a symbol, and a responsibility — nothing more.
She had not yet received the memory inheritance of the Ancient Name's successor.
"The meaning of transcendence…"
Mu Yang fell silent for a moment.
It seemed Chasca's situation was indeed tied to the main storyline.
To completely purge this Abyss, she probably had to do it herself.
All this suffering required her to achieve transcendence on her own.
Help from others might backfire and end up harming Chasca.
Mu Yang cleared his throat twice and imitated the tone of Moon Carver.
He performed a divination in a very convincing manner.
Then, using the tone he had been practicing, he continued, "You have this tribulation in your fate. Transcendence is the Wayob's expectation of you…"
This mysterious and unfathomable performance successfully fooled both Elder Allpa and Chasca.
Although he was 100% certain that a character like Chasca would not meet any real harm,
Mu Yang would not miss the chance to earn favorability.
Please mention my good deeds more in the story later.
Mu Yang placed a small strand of his own power into Chasca's Ancient Name.
"External force cannot help you fulfill your destiny, but it can at least grant you peaceful sleep."
"Until the moment of fate's choice arrives, treat it as a simple protective talisman."
This strand of Mu Yang's power had the effect of purifying the Abyss.
Simply wearing it would provide results.
Although he could not guarantee it would work in the Kingdom of the Night Gods,
at least in daily life, she would no longer be tormented by that voice deep in her heart.
"Thank you for taking action to help…"
Chasca had not expected to receive such great assistance.
Although Mu Yang's earlier words had been somewhat ambiguous and puzzling,
things like fate and choice could be considered later.
With this item now, Chuychu should be able to feel much more at ease.
Elder Allpa saw through Chasca's thoughts. "You can leave first. I'll discuss the rest with Elder Mu Yang."
Chasca was one of the strongest warriors of the Flower-Feather Clan.
After helping her, the chips in Mu Yang's hand naturally increased.
The negotiation went very smoothly.
Mu Yang walked out of the tent, planning to finish his visit before slowly deciding on business dealings with the Flower-Feather Clan.
At this moment, Chasca had already flown back home.
Yes, she really flew back.
Using her large gun [Peacebringer]…
The word "excited" could not fully describe how she felt right now.
She knew her father Cusco had always been worried about her, and so had Chuychu.
Their enthusiasm for medicine and deep research into the Abyss had largely been to protect her.
Now, with Mu Yang's help, although it was not a complete cure,
at least they could finally feel at ease.
At home, Cusco and Chuychu could hardly believe the news when they heard it.
The three of them hugged each other in excitement.
Chasca soon set off from home again — something like this, how could she not tell her mother…
Back to Mu Yang's side.
While he had nothing to do, he spotted a small figure at the goods transport area.
That was the first Natlan character Mu Yang had "known" — Iansan.
This "knowing" was limited to learning her name from the Footprints PV.
It seemed the final stop of his Natlan journey was right before his eyes…
