Genshin Impact: The Boring Life of Liyue Seven Stars

"Grandpa, are you nearby? Why don't you come out to see Hu Tao?"

Hutao squatted in a corner with his hands on his knees. His beautiful plum blossom eyes were no longer as lively as before. He just watched the souls coming and going at the "border" eagerly.

"Hey Old Liu, why is the master of the Hall of the Past here again? Didn't you say he just came here two days ago?"

In the distance, several souls gathered together, glancing at Hutao squatting on the ground from time to time, with fear in their eyes.

"Oh, how do I know! I used to come here once a month to check on the situation. Now that I'm here now, I must have found someone who refused to be reincarnated and helped you achieve physical salvation!"

A picture emerged in the minds of several discussing souls. Hutao, dressed in a solemn black robe, took the ancestral cane from the Hall of Purity and smashed the souls into pieces and sent them into the boundary.

It is said that a shattered soul will not be able to be reincarnated as an adult in the next life.

If I were reincarnated into something else...

At the thought of this, several souls who were nostalgic for the world and had been hiding in secret suddenly became a little flustered and expressed their feelings one after another.

"You guys talk first, I'm going to be reincarnated in a hurry."

Hutao in the distance did not hear the communication between the souls. Seeing that there was still no reaction from the people around him after he finished speaking, he snorted softly.

"Huh, grandpa, if you don't come out, I will wait here forever. This time, no matter who tries to persuade me, I won't leave!"

As he spoke, he took out dry food and water from the bag behind his back, as if he really planned to stay there forever.

When Mr. Hu, who had been watching Hu Tao secretly, heard this, he sighed helplessly.

...

In the woods of Wuwangpo.

The strange and gloomy environment all day long makes few people active here.

From time to time, various rustling sounds can be heard above the woods. This strange environment will definitely make passers-by frightened. In fact, they are just the figures of some small animals.

For many wildlife, this is a paradise without the terrifying apes.

A male bird is constantly showing off his singing voice, trying to attract another female bird in the opposite tree.

As the saying goes, spring is here, and it's mating season.

Seeing that the female bird has been attracted to him, it is a great life inheritance.

"Oh!"

A golden spear suddenly fell from the sky, scaring away the male bird's upcoming happy life.

"Huh, I didn't expect Dahuang Xingyun to be able to go all the way from Liyue Port to Wuwangpo. It's really a great way to travel."

Yunxing put away the bow that penetrated the rainbow, and suddenly found the sound of birds chirping rapidly around him, as if it was telling something.

"Hey, go away, go away, I'm not a bird feeder, I have business to do."

With a flick of his head, Yunxing flicked it away, and Yunxing walked towards the direction of the "border" secret realm.

In order to prevent ordinary people from entering this place, the ancestors of the Rebirth Hall set up a barrier here.

If you keep walking forward along the road, you will be back to where you were after a while, which is commonly known as ghosts hitting the wall.

Yunxing knew the secret here as early as in the game plot. It took him a long time to figure it out when he was completing the mission for the first time.

It was a familiar road all the way, and soon we entered the real "border".

...

"Business at the Hall of Rebirth is still the same as usual. That guy from Yunxing has been saying he has something to do all day long and refuses to go with me to sell coffins. I haven't seen him wandering around with people on the street."

"Speaking of which, there seems to be a pile of books under Yunxing's bed. Last time I saw him secretly stuffing them back, they were very precious. I don't know what they are."

Seeing that her grandfather refused to show up, Hu Tao began to talk about the little things that happened around her over the years.

Yunxing's mouth twitched.

Under the bed lay the...well...art, yes, works of art that he had pulled out of his system over the years!

After all, he opens his eyes to art, so how can he use vulgar adjectives to represent it!

"Looks like I'll have to change them when I get back."

But seeing that Hu Tao was fine, Yunxing finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Hu Tao and said.

"So you were here, but you suddenly disappeared. Mr. Zhongli and I were very worried about you."

Coming to Hutao, Yunxing settled the tasks in the system.

"Ding, congratulations on completing the first step of the A-level commission and unlocking the second step of the mission!"

Is there a second ring?

Yunxing took the time to read the mission description.

Mission description: The 75th generation leader of the Rebirth Hall has regrets. He is wandering at the border and has not been reincarnated. He seems to be waiting for someone.

Mission requirement: Use the time-pause ability to cover the entire secret realm.

Looking at the mission requirements, Yunxing was confused.

Do you need to use "Platinum Star" to complete this task?

Why is the old man here again?

If you don't get it in the system, can you just watch?

While Yunxing was thinking, Hutao stood up and lowered his head and said.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have run out without telling you. Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me."

"It's the old man's business."

Hearing this, Hutao showed a surprised expression and grabbed Yunxing's arm: "You know grandpa is here!"

Yunxing sighed slightly and whispered in his heart: Platinum Star, time stops.

The invisible power expanded rapidly, and the movements of the entire border soul stopped, except for Mr. Hu.

Mr. Hu, who had been wandering at the "border" for several years, breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw this magical scene.

"I didn't expect it would be you."

A familiar voice came from far away. Yunxing raised his eyes and looked at the figure approaching with a slight smile. Yunxing was also filled with emotion.

"Old man, are you okay? What happened?"

Facing Yunxing's doubts, Mr. Hu just walked closer slowly, took out the secret object from his arms, handed it to Yunxing and said.

"It's a long story. There's probably something I didn't have time to give to you. Now it's time to return it to its original owner."

Yunxing took the fragment handed over by Mr. Hu blankly, and two voices sounded in his mind.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Sand of Time Fragment*1!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving the bonus of divine power and leveling up by 30 levels!"

When Mr. Hu took out the fragment of the Sand of Time, Yunxing felt that it looked familiar. It wasn't until a burst of information came from his mind that he gradually understood it.

It doesn't take long to stop the entire border, and the effect wears off quickly.

Hu Tao still held Yun Xing's right hand, but her eyes had already turned to Mr. Hu next to her, and tears could not stop pouring out.

"grandfather!"

Knowing that Mr. Hu was already in a soul state, Hu Tao tried his best to restrain himself from rushing forward, but slowly approached Mr. Hu's soul with his hand.

Mr. Hu was still so close to the grown-up Hu Tao. He gently covered the Qiankun Taigua hat on Hu Tao's head with a big hand, and then smiled kindly.

"Little Hutao, don't cry, grandpa is here."
