Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave
Chapter 360: Suicide
The stone door is not locked and has no modern keyhole design, making it look simple and mysterious.
The door is engraved with complex patterns all around, as if telling the story of the years.
Li Mochen walked forward slowly, gently placed his hand on the door, and pushed it open with force.
The heavy stone door slowly opened as his metallic arms pushed forward.
Squeak... As the stone door moved, an atmosphere completely different from the bustling city outside blew over.
A breath of air full of historical charm suddenly surged out and brushed across his cheek.
At that moment, Li Mochen couldn't help but close his eyes and feel the sedimentation that transcended time and space.
Whether it is stone or clothing, it will carry a unique temperament after thousands of years, as if allowing people to capture the traces of time in an instant.
Then, inside the stone gate, a long and narrow corridor came into view.
The two sides of the corridor are engraved with patterns, which are not words but more like some kind of totem.
The end is deep and boundless, and the darkness is filled with unknown chaos.
"Mo Chen...what is this?"
The two walked into the corridor, and Ganyu looked at the murals around her in amazement.
“These are like murals, and they are coherent, as if they are telling a story.”
Li Mochen walked closer and looked at the mural carefully, trying to find clues from it.
They stepped into the space inside the mountain. The walls of the corridor were covered with colorful murals. It was unknown what kind of technique was used to carve them on the stone walls.
These murals extend from the entrance of the stone gate to a depth of a thousand meters away, and their content is rich and diverse.
Some depict mythical images of gods, some show magnificent natural landscapes, and some depict fierce war scenes.
The murals are lifelike and the colors remain bright over the years.
These exquisite murals are not only exquisitely crafted and beautiful, but also seem to contain a power that can attract people's hearts.
Li Mochen started from the first mural near the stone gate and immersed himself completely in this dusty world.
In the first mural, a huge volcano is erupting, lava is rolling, and people below are panicking.
In the second mural, a phoenix rising from the flames flies over, and the volcano subsides immediately, and people gather together.
In the third mural, people began to build their homes around the volcano, with tall buildings and green trees surrounding it.
Subsequent murals depicted the country's prosperity, with the phoenix that calmed the volcano taking human form and being revered by the people.
Everything seems fine. After the disaster, people have a better life.
However, as time passed, the country became increasingly powerful and wars broke out frequently.
The phoenix, which was regarded as a god, also had problems. Its feathers withered, its eyes became dim, and it hid in the volcano all day and no longer saw people.
From here on, the style of the mural gradually distorts.
The content of the early murals is clearly discernible, but as time goes on, the brushstrokes become more and more chaotic, as if reflecting the artist's inner confusion.
Until the 100th mural, the picture was completely black with crooked words next to it.
"I am tired... My soul is too worn out... Am I a living being... or just a consumable?"
"If it is...then destroy it...destroy it."
“Destruction, destruction, destruction, destruction, destruction, destruction, destruction…”
After the last twisted "destruction", there were no other traces on the wall, as if the author had fallen into madness.
As she said, she began to question her own existence deeply.
It was unknown how long it had been before Li Mochen finished looking at all the murals and realized that his clothes were soaked with sweat on his back.
The content of the murals was shocking and overturned his understanding of the "Phoenix Volcano" and the "God of Fire Amon".
If Li Mochen understood correctly, the author of these murals should be the former God of Fire, the first God of Fire, Amon.
After she calmed the volcano and led people to build the Munata, she preserved her experience in the form of a mural.
But as time went by, and the longer the God of Fire remained on the throne, the more she doubted herself, and her mental state deteriorated.
In the end, Yamon was unable to leave a complete mural because the world in her eyes may have already been distorted.
I am tired, my soul is too worn out.
Am I a living being, or just a consumable?
Although it is unclear what Amon went through, from the words she left behind one can sense that her last days must have been extremely painful.
No one could help her, so she could only lock herself in a secret place at the bottom of the "Phoenix Volcano".
In the end, the only word lingering in the God of Fire's mind was destruction.
It wasn't that someone killed the first God of Fire, but that she chose the path of destruction.
In other words, the first God of Fire, Amon, actually committed suicide.
Moreover, her death triggered the eruption of Phoenix Volcano, which eventually led to the destruction of Munata and formed the "Sea of Silence".
All this is actually caused by some kind of "wear and tear"?
It has to be admitted that the scene depicted in this mural is truly subversive.
Throughout history, no one has been able to accurately decipher the secret of "God of Fire. Amon".
However, in this volcanic heartland where no one has set foot for thousands of years, the deceased have left behind secrets in the form of murals.
What is even more surprising is that after reading these, Li Mochen did not question the authenticity of the murals.
Because he believes that no one can create such a soul-stirring and lifelike work without personal experience.
