Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave

The two trees are exactly the same, one is scarred and the other is full of vitality.

"This new tree represents Ajiu's soul. As long as her soul replaces the overly worn main soul in the body, the Dragon King can be reborn."

Originally, this was just an idea in Li Mochen's mind, but after spending a day with Ajiu, he found that this idea might be feasible. In essence, the Dragon King Ruo Tuo was not evil, and even the dark side of Ajiu was not bad. She was more like a child who was neglected and accumulated resentment.

Therefore, it was not difficult for Li Mochen to adjust her mental state and make her willing to protect Liyue.

"... Well said, this is a new path I have never considered."

Just as the immortals were shocked by Li Mochen's innovative ideas, an ancient and steady male voice suddenly sounded behind them.

Who is it? Hearing this sudden voice, the immortals turned their heads unconsciously. Only a few people in Liyue could appear silently beside everyone. However, this voice was not the one they expected.

Everyone turned around and saw a young man in his twenties walking slowly towards them. He was gentle and well-mannered, and the glasses on his nose made him look even more bookish.

Appearing with this man was an old friend of the immortals, a tall figure, a rock-hard temperament, and eyes that sparkled with golden light.

Next to the man wearing glasses is the former God of Rock, Rock Emperor, Zhongli.

"I'm sorry, everyone. Although I wasn't invited to this elite gathering, I still came here with my friends."

Zhongli walked into the crowd, nodded politely, and then turned to the man with glasses next to him.

Although the Rock King was still alive, the immortals had long known this. However, Zhongli did not often interact with them on weekdays, so as not to affect his past influence. At this moment, he took the initiative to show up at the Immortal Saint Conference and brought a stranger with him.

With the personality of the Rock King, he would never bring an ordinary person to a gathering of immortals. So, who is this young man wearing glasses?

“I see…Is that so?”

In fact, Zhongli's introduction was unnecessary. Li Mochen only took a few glances and recognized the young man's identity.

"Kunjun, Mo Chen seems to have seen through your identity."

Zhongli felt Li Mochen's deep gaze and smiled as he spoke to his friend named Kunjun. The tone of his conversation with Kunjun was like that of old friends chatting, and that casualness was very rare.

"Ah, after all, he is Liyue's most trusted general, General Zhenwu. Ajiu trusts him, so I can trust him too."

Kunjun nodded slightly and smiled happily. The three of them seemed to know each other, but their conversation was like a riddle to others.

“Wait, what are you talking about? I’m confused. Who is this guy?”

The furious divine crane jumped out and looked at Kunjun questioningly.

“Well, actually he is…”

"Let me explain, my fellow immortals. I am the Rādhāra Dragon King, or rather, I am the soul fragment of the Rādhāra Dragon King, just like Aju."

Under the surprised gazes of the immortals, Kunjun calmly revealed his identity. That's right, this young man named Kunjun was also one of the soul fragments of Ruotu Dragon King.

Before, as the thousand-year seal loosened, in addition to Ajiu, Kunjun also escaped from the Fulong Tree. He said that Ajiu represented the dark side of the Ruotu Dragon King, which was part of the "yin"; while he himself represented the soul fragments formed by the emphasis on contracts and past memories, which was part of the "yang".

Because Kunjun's soul power is not as strong as Ajiu's, he cannot condense his own entity and can only attach himself to humans. This state of possession makes Kunjun's memory confused and he can't remember many past events.

Today, Kunjun was originally planning to investigate the mystery of the missing miners with the adventurers, but he was intercepted by Li Mochen on the way, and he came to the teahouse inexplicably.

Next to the theater in the small teahouse, Kunjun met his long-lost old friend, Rock King Zhongli. After listening to the opera, drinking tea, and chatting for a while, Kunjun gradually recalled the past and told Zhongli about it.

"After learning that Ruo Tuo was about to break the seal, we immediately rushed to Fulong Tree, but we were still a step too late."

At this point, Zhongli couldn't help but look at Li Mochen. After all, when they arrived at the scene in the afternoon, Ajiu, the fragment of Ruotu's soul, had been taken to Liyue by Li Mochen, and the kidnapped miners had already gone home.

"Hehehe, this is called an accidental achievement. I was just trying to kill time."

"What's even stranger is that after we returned to Liyue Harbor, we actually saw you and Ajiu getting along harmoniously. Kunjun and I were both shocked."

“That’s true. I almost laughed my glasses off. Hahaha.”

Thinking of the scene in the afternoon when he saw Ajiu riding on Li Mochen's shoulders and shopping in the streets, Kunjun couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with his memory again. Why was the dark side of the Dragon King in his memory so different from the reality?

"It's nothing. The Dragon King is not evil in nature. He is just a victim of wear and tear."
