Genshin Impact: Hello! Traveler

(Suggested BGM: exile)

The surging determination in his heart gave the little guy, who always hid behind the traveler, the courage to take a step forward.

Traveling through the space layer full of space cracks.

The space of the continent of Teyvat is very fragile, and it contains countless subspaces of unknown locations.

But being vulnerable doesn’t mean you can come in and go out as you please.

If you rush in without the strength, you will only be crushed by the cracks in the space.

Moreover, the continental borders are becoming increasingly unstable, and the danger of tearing through and crossing space is even greater.

There is no color in space, and travelers can only move forward based on their feelings.

He felt that the nebula trajectory surrounding him was a little different from usual, and even Paimon himself didn't know the reason.

The sense of visual deprivation made everything that Paimon came up with in his mind suddenly come to life.

While searching for the traveler, she also remembered her past self.

There are many races in Teyvat. Elves, orcs, demons...

The short races like Paimon include the Melusin clan, the Slush clan, the Lannaro clan...

But after walking with the travelers for so long, she still hadn't found her own people.

Listen to the traveler's explanation that she is unique.

But she knew that he was just comforting her.

Before my first encounter with the traveler, I had been wandering alone in the wild for a long time.

She doesn't know where she came from, what her purpose is, or where she will go in the future.

She hid in the trees during the day, picking apples and sunset fruits to fill her stomach. She had to avoid the attacks of the hill people, and the wild boars that would occasionally hit the trees and snatch the fruits from her.

At night, she also had to be on guard against those elemental fireflies and herself falling to the ground due to oversleeping...

One time, I hadn’t eaten fish for a long time, so I got a fishing rod and unexpectedly got pulled into the sea by a fish and almost drowned.

Sometimes when I look at those fairies wandering around in the same place, I seem to feel a sense of sympathy.

All their lives they beg others to take them home, to a hollow hole in the stone pillar, as if returning to that glorious moment thousands of years ago in the sky.

Then where is my home, my destination...

Recalling the bonfire that I built alone at that time.

By the campfire, she looked up at the starry sky along the fireworks.

The stars in the sky were twinkling, making her fascinated.

Tiny but so charming.

I once saw my own star-like eyes on the lake, and the trails of nebulae that appeared around me from time to time.

Did I also come from heaven?

"Paimon, stop eating. No one is going to snatch it from you—"

"Paimon, don't be so hasty--"

"Paimon, don't go too far—"

"Paimon, good night—"

"Paimon..."

In my ears, which were devoid of any sound of wind, I could still hear his old nagging.

Since then, no matter what happens to me, there is always someone who cares about me.

Don't worry about going hungry anymore, there is a traveler who has prepared plenty of food for me.

Don't worry about getting hurt anymore, there is a traveler who will defeat the enemies for me.

Don't worry about not being able to sleep anymore, sleeping in the traveler's arms is more comfortable than the best bed in the world.

……

She wants to continue traveling with travelers.

With him, all difficulties are easily solved.

There were times when I hated him, but he always treated me with tolerance.

He is so gentle to everyone except his enemies.

Especially for all kinds of girls.

From the gods to the mortals...

I could see myself in their eyes.

I can't express how much I love him.

Unexplainable dependence on him.

But, but they are different from me!

They lust after travelers' bodies! They are frivolous!

And I just want to be with him, that's all.

I am not his only one, but he is my only one.

If I stop looking for you, it may be that Paimon can no longer fly.

However, since you are my only one, I have the obligation to save you.

The earth veins collapsed, the sky shattered...

No matter what, I will find you.

Wait for me, traveler.

……

With a panoramic view of the destruction along the way, Paimon landed in an unknown chaotic space, looking for the person she was looking for.

As if scarred by countless sharp claws, the unknown land was covered with spider web-like cracks. A chasm several thousand meters long and hundreds of meters wide was like a masterpiece torn out by the God of Creation.

The ancient and wild atmosphere filled her face, and the sense of desolation after the ruin made her feel so depressed that she could hardly breathe.

In the khaki-colored alien space, Paimeng looked everywhere but could not find him.

Paimon looked at the huge ravine, which seemed like it was created by the power of a god, as if it was carved out by something.

Looking at the bottom of the valley, countless remains of monsters are buried here.

Kill with one move, no frills.

In a fan-shaped trajectory, Paimon quickly flew to the place where the attack was made.

Too many dull raw stones scattered on the ground formed a small tower, and there was a footprint that seemed to bear too much weight and caused the ground to collapse.

There were also a few shocking bloodstains.

Paimeng was startled and quickly dived into the pile of dull raw stones, digging around frantically.

My body seems so small among this mountain of raw rocks.

With such a huge amount of raw stones, it was hard for Paimon to imagine how desperate the enemies the travelers faced at that time were.

The monster in the ravine is just an incidental thing...

The tiny raw stone has lost its strength, but its texture is still somewhat hard, coupled with its special shape.

"Ah——" After a while, Paimon's hand was injured by the sharp corners.

But she ignored the pain and continued digging stubbornly.

Paimon endured the pain until his hands were bloody and dug out the weapon most commonly carried by travelers.

A broken sword.

That is the traveler's edgeless sword.

Without its master, the sword's blade also became dark.

There is no longer the murderous aura from before, only the dead air after withering.

I can no longer feel that sense of vitality because the sword spirit has been shattered.

Seeing this, Paimon's pupils shrank, and he tremblingly picked up the broken blade that was bigger than the two-handed sword for him.

"No... no, I haven't seen the traveler yet - there is still hope..."

Paimon murmured and shook his head, tears streaming down his face.

It fell on the blood-stained blade, and instead of becoming brighter, it became dimmer.

Haven't seen you yet...

No, traveler, wait for me...

……

Over the Tenun Pass

"Why do I feel uneasy..."

The shadow standing on the pumice stone suddenly felt an extremely uncomfortable feeling, both familiar and unfamiliar.

I seem to have felt this 500 years ago...

lose.

No! It won't.

Don't let your imagination run wild.

The sky was dark purple, and the residual power of the Thunderbird was still affecting the area.

The thunder that does not belong to the shadow is still expressing his anger and unwillingness.

Suddenly, a golden light came from the southwest, from the sky behind the shadow. (The sound is associated with the process of extracting the gold)

There was no sign, no perception.

Ke Ying suddenly felt a strong and heavy breath coming from the northwest.

The power of the rock element contained in it made her feel extremely fearful.

The only one who can compare to him is Liyue’s Rock God Morax.

Wait - it looks like the person coming is...

"Long time no see, Baalzebub." Under the white robe, the extremely handsome and weathered face looked at the wary shadow.

"It's you, the Rock God Morax - what brings you all the way to Inazuma?" Although Ying had met other gods at this year's Liyue Lantern Festival, there was still some hostility in his tone.

After all, that meeting was just an invitation from the traveler.

"Something happened to the traveler." Without further explanation, Morax directly stated the purpose of his visit.

"What?!" Ying's face turned pale when he heard that.

"You'd better explain yourself clearly. What happened to the Traveler?" Ying hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Morax's shoulder, asking loudly.

But the trembling and fear in his words could not be concealed.

Without replying to Ying, Morax looked at the incomparably beautiful golden track that was crossing the sky behind Ying.

Then he stretched out a hand and guided the path of the golden light.

Finally, a golden bottle-like object appeared in his hand.

"Your life star." Morax handed it to Ying.

"I once traveled with the Traveler for a period of time. He possesses a wonderful power. He can use the power of the raw stone to accomplish incredible things. And this destiny star is one of his abilities."

"He told me that drawing a destiny star is a mysterious thing. It seems that one person is randomly drawn from all the people on the continent who have or have had the Eye of God or the Heart of God."

"You mean..." Ying was a little confused

"As a traveler who cares deeply about the rough stones, I would never spend them on the fate stars. Unless I'm gambling."

“A way to communicate information in critical situations.”

"I once gave him a holy relic that contained part of my power. I thought it would not be useful, but I lost touch with it not long ago."

“Perhaps the travelers are suffering unprecedented hardships at this time.”

"Let's go and help him."

Vaguely finding the previous breaking point, Morax stretched out his finger and gently pulled it into the air.

A space crack appeared.

The black and chaotic space leads to nowhere.

"Okay." With a flash of purple light, Ying's previous ronin's attire changed into the most commonly worn purple combat kimono.

Then the two gods escaped into space.
