Genshin Impact: A Scattered Soldier Traveling Back in Time

“You guys are here…”

Zheping leaned weakly against the wall, looking at Kong, Paimon, and Xinhai from Coral Palace in front of him.

"Zheping, how did you become like this? You were fine when I saw you just now."

Paimon looked at Teppei's wrinkled face and said helplessly.

They had just met not long ago. At that time, Zheping was full of confidence and showed off his achievements to them. But in the blink of an eye, how come the other party became like this?

"Zheping, tell me honestly, did you secretly use the evil eye?" Coral Palace Xinhai asked seriously.

She was also heartbroken by what happened, but she had to find out what caused him to become like this.

"I'm sorry, Master Coral Palace..."

Upon hearing this, Zheping lowered his head and did not dare to look at the other person.

When Coral Palace Xinhai saw this, he knew that the other party must have secretly used the evil eye, which was why he became like this.

"I have clearly explained the dangers of the evil eye and have repeatedly forbidden you to use it. Why don't you listen?"

Coral Palace Xinhai said with a look of deep sorrow.

Zheping lowered his head and looked at the ground without saying a word, with no trace of guilt on his face.

If he had to choose again, he would still use the evil eye.

Because the power of the evil eye did save many of their companions on Haiqi Island.

"You, alas..."

Coral Palace Xinhai naturally knew what Zheping was thinking.

But as mentioned before, the evil eye cannot be banned, it can only be destroyed at the source.

"Evil Eye, what is it?"

Although he knew it was the wrong time, Paimon couldn't help but ask.

"The Evil Eye is a device invented by the Fatui that allows ordinary people to drive elemental forces, but using it will consume the user's lifespan." Coral Palace Xinhai explained simply.

"Doesn't that mean..."

Paimon looked at Teppei, unable to stop the sadness on his face.

"Hehe, don't worry about me. I've thought this day would come." Zheping said weakly.

"But, people like me still can't get the attention of God..."

Teppei smiled self-deprecatingly, then closed his eyes and waited for death.

Kong's face was also filled with sadness. Suddenly he thought of something and took out the pills that Yan had given him.

Could it be that Heng had already anticipated this?

"Zheping, open your mouth."

Sora said as he held the pill to Teppei's lips.

"Don't waste the medicine on me. Ahem, I know my situation well..."

Teppei rejected Kong's kindness. He was very clear about his current condition, which could not be cured by medicine.

Sora ignored his refusal and threw it directly into his mouth when he opened his mouth to speak.

A magical scene happened, as if time had gone back, and Zheping's body regained its youth at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Teppei was about to reprimand Sora for wasting medicine on him when he suddenly saw his own smooth arm.

Zheping's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

"I... recovered?"

He looked at his young hands, felt the vitality of his body, and his face showed the joy of being reborn.

Kong saw that Zheping had regained his youthfulness and there was no change on his face, as if he had known it for a long time.

Paimon was shocked at first, but she quickly regained her composure. She knew that Ying had the authority over time.

Coral Palace Xinhai's face was also filled with shock, but she quickly suppressed it.

"Zheping, now that you have recovered, hand over your evil eye immediately. You can't use it anymore!"

Coral Palace Xinhai looked at Zheping and said seriously.

"This……"

Teppei stood up hesitantly.

If he handed over the evil eye, wouldn't he become that useless guy again?

And since there is now a way to counteract the side effects of the evil eye, why can't we continue to use it?

Sora saw what he was thinking and punched him in the face.

Paimon and Coral Palace Xinhai looked at Kong in surprise, especially Paimon, as he rarely saw Kong lose his temper.

"Sora, what are you doing!?"

Teppei said to Sora, covering his face.

"I'll come and wake you up."

Sora looked at Teppei lying on the ground with an expressionless face.

"You are right. A loser like you is indeed not worthy of being noticed by the gods."

Sora said coldly.

"How can you say that, Sora?"

Paimon stood in front of Sora.

Coral Palace Xinhai stood aside and watched silently, thoughtfully, as if he had thought of something.

"Paimon, get out of the way. I'm going to kill this trash today!" Kong said to Paimon.

"Calm down, Sora. Why can't we talk it out calmly?" Paimon stretched out his hand to stop Sora and said.

"Hahaha, you're right, I'm trash! Even the gods won't pay attention to me, so what am I if not trash?"

"In that case, what's wrong with me using the evil eye! It gives me power. You people who are watched by gods will never understand!" Teppei roared.

"Do you think we are great because we possess the Eye of God?" Kong asked.

"Isn't it?" Zheping asked back.

"you are wrong!"

“Those who possess the Eye of God are not great because they possess the Eye of God, but they possess the Eye of God because they are great!”

"So do you understand? How can the gods pay attention to someone like you who is so self-deprecating that even you look down on yourself?" Kong stared at Teppei and spoke word by word.

Zheping was silent.

It is not because of possessing the Eye of God that one is great, but because of being great one possesses the Eye of God, right?

Looking at the distraught Teppei Coral Palace Xinhai sighed, hoping that the other party could understand.

"Captain Zheping is tired, take him away and let him have a good rest." Coral Palace Xinhai said to the soldiers around him.

"Yes, Lord Coral Palace!"

Two soldiers came forward, lifted Teppei up, and took him to the resting place.

“I hope the other party can wake up.”

Sora said as he looked at Teppei's back.

This is all he can do for his friends, the rest depends on himself.

"Huh, Kong, you really scared me just now. I thought you were really going to beat Teppei to death." Paimon said with lingering fear.

"I was able to fool you, which shows that my acting skills are pretty good, right?" Kong smiled and blinked.

"Sora, do you still have the pills from earlier?"

Coral Palace Xinhai asked softly.

Maybe it was a little presumptuous, but she had to speak up for the soldiers of Haiqi Island.

"of course."

Kong said as he took out a bag and handed it to the other person, which contained the pills just now.

Seeing this, Coral Palace Xinhai was stunned. She looked at Kong with a complicated expression. She didn't expect that he would give her such a precious thing directly.

She took the bag and said seriously, "Thank you, traveler from another world. From now on, you will always be the most precious guest of our Haiqi Island."

A mysterious force connects Kong and Haiqi Island.

"Don't be so polite. This is what I should do." Kong said with a simple look on his face.

"By the way, do you know where the Evil Eye Factory is?"

"Of course, we are preparing to destroy that evil factory." Coral Palace Xinhai said.

"That's good."

……

In a small room, Zheping sat at the head of the bed, staring blankly at the sky outside the window.

Sora's words kept echoing in his mind.

Finally, Zheping smiled with relief.

"Isn't it because you have the Eye of God that you are great, but is it because you are great that you have the Eye of God?"

Teppei lowered his head and murmured.

A fiery red gem appeared out of nowhere on his right hand side.

The Eye of God radiates a charming light, as if celebrating his new life.

Zheping calmly looked at the Eye of God that belonged to him, put it on his waist, and then walked out of the room.

"Captain Zheping, is that the Eye of God on your waist?" The guard at the door pointed at the Eye of God on his waist and said stutteringly.

Zheping nodded calmly.

"Where are the Traveler and Paimon? Where are they now?"

"Captain, the Traveler and Paimon left with Lord Coral Palace. It seems they have something important to do."

"Is this so? I understand."

Teppei looked in the direction of the Coral Palace and smiled, sending his sincere blessings to his best friend.
