Genshin Impact: I was robbed at the beginning and I hated being ranked third!

In the pure land of one's heart, Yang Ming felt weak all over and lay limply on the cold and hard ground, his eyes empty, as if he had lost his passion for life.

As for Ying, he was quietly reading a novel and eating snacks, while Nagigusa no Inahi and Dream were quietly floating on both sides of Ying.

Yang Ming's Pure Ice Glass also looked somewhat dim at this moment, standing alone more than ten meters away from Yang Ming.

"Why? Why can't I defeat you every time I challenge you?"

Yang Ming's voice was filled with frustration, his faith in the Tao began to waver, and his body trembled from weakness.

Facing Yang Ming's questioning, Ying did not stop what she was doing. She ate the tri-color dumplings leisurely and read the novel in her hand attentively.

Then, she answered slowly, "There is an essential difference between humans and demons. You can use time to hone your skills, but you cannot have the lasting fighting ability like a demon."

Ying paused for a moment, then continued, "Humans need food to sustain life, but even without food or water, demons can still maintain their strength. This is the difference between humans and demons. In fact, your martial arts skills are comparable to mine."

"On a purely technical level, we know each other very well. Just by observing each other's movements, we can understand the moves they are using and respond quickly." Ying's tone was calm and firm, as if he was stating an unchangeable fact.

"By the way, if you want to learn the Evil Eye, you can just tell me and I will teach you. No need to be sneaky."

Ying's words made Yang Ming, who was still pretending to be weak, stand up immediately. He stared at Ying with horror, as if he had seen something terrible.

"Wait, do you know that I learned the Evil Eye from you?!" Yang Ming's voice trembled a little. He never expected that his behavior would be discovered by Ying.

Ying nodded as a matter of course. Her expression was very calm, and she didn't seem angry or surprised by Yang Ming's behavior.

Yang Ming asked cautiously: "How did you know? And... aren't you angry? How can this be considered stealing your authority?"

Ying put down the light novel in his hand, picked up the tri-color dango, took a bite, and then said slowly: "Why should I be angry? As for how I found out... When I was reading the novel, a picture suddenly appeared in my mind. In the picture, you said to yourself something like 'You are worthy of it' and 'You are so handsome'.

After hearing Ying's explanation, Yang Ming felt relieved. He thought Ying already knew all his secrets.

"Could it be that our evil eyes are connected?"

After saying that, Yang Ming condensed an evil eye above his head and looked at Ying.

At this time, Ying also looked up at the Eye of Evil. From Ying's perspective, he was looking at himself.

"Can your evil eye travel through time?"

Ying asked curiously, Yang Ming shook his head. He also had the Queen's blessing of the Four Gods' Eyes of Ice, Rock, Thunder and Wind. The two origins of the four Gods' Eyes were actually not enough for the Evil Star's Eye to travel through space.

You know, Tianya Pi Ke only consumes one tenth of the elemental power. He doesn't understand why the Eye of Evil, as a skill of the god, consumes so much mana.

So, Yang Ming decided to ask the real master directly. He looked at Ying and expressed his doubts: "Why do I feel that teleporting through the Evil Eye consumes less elemental power than other methods? And from what you said before, it seems that the Evil Eye is not just used for teleportation, right?"

Ying replied, "It's very simple, because the Eye of Evil is not just an ordinary teleportation tool. It actually opens up an independent space in the void that belongs to you completely, and the Eye of Evil is just a key to enter this space."

Yang Ming was somewhat surprised and continued to ask, "Then why does teleporting through the Eye of Evil consume less elemental power?"

Ying patiently explained: "In fact, it is not because the teleportation itself consumes less elemental energy, but because of the existence of the earth veins."

"The power of the earth veins is spread throughout the entire continent of Teyvat. Any means of teleportation requires the permission and support of the earth veins to ensure safe and efficient teleportation. The talisman in your hand is one of the blessings of the earth veins."

After hearing this, Yang Ming’s understanding of the Evil Eye and the earth veins deepened.

He realized that in the world of Teyvat, there were so many mysterious and powerful forces waiting for him to explore and discover.

"Then can this evil eye in my hand only be used to monitor others?"

Yang Ming muttered to himself. He originally thought this thing was very powerful, but at this moment he suddenly felt that it was not so fragrant.

The change in his expression did not escape Ying's eyes, who seemed to see through his thoughts.

"That's not the case. Now you can freely enter and exit the Pure Land of One Heart with the help of the Eye of Evil. I have already entered the coordinates of the Pure Land of One Heart into it. You can enter it anytime you want."

Ying said softly, his tone calm and firm. After hearing this, Yang Ming's eyes flashed with surprise and expectation.

Yang Ming is a man of action. He quickly input elemental power, and the Eye of Evil quickly grew larger, and finally turned into a circle. The scenery in the circle was the Fatui's inn.

Yang Ming walked straight in, and after a dizzying moment, he returned to the Fatui Inn.

"It actually works! Columbia, come here for a moment."

Yang Ming called out to Columbia, who was about to go shopping with Rosaline. Columbia was a little confused, but still walked to Yang Ming's side.

Yang Ming opened the Eye of Evil without hesitation, held Columbia's hand tightly, and stepped in together.

In an instant, they seemed to have traveled through a time tunnel and arrived at a mysterious, peaceful and pure land.

Columbia's body was still trying to adapt to the feeling of dizziness. When she finally stood firm and opened her eyes, she was stunned by the scene before her.

She found herself in a space where time seemed to have completely stopped. In the distant sky hung a huge blood moon, emitting a strange light.

Except for the square-like area in front of you, the rest of the area is covered with fallen torii gates, as if telling of the past glory and vicissitudes.

Columbia's gaze involuntarily turned to the center of the square again, and saw Thor lying lazily on the ground, reading a novel intently, taking a bite of snacks from time to time.

The rice light of the grass and the dream of one heart were quietly suspended beside her. And in the distance, Yang Ming's pure ice glass stood there steadily, emitting a palpitating breath.

"This is..." Columbia was full of curiosity and turned her doubtful eyes to Yang Ming. Yang Ming's face was filled with a proud smile and he began to explain it to her in detail.

"This is a space created by Ying, called One Mind Pure Land. It is completely detached from reality. Let's go and meet Ying."

Yang Ming held Columbia's hand and walked towards Ying carefully. He felt a little uneasy, after all, he brought a girl home without saying a word, but unexpectedly, Ying did not make any move.

Yang Ming cleared his throat and introduced Ying: "Ying, this is my wife Columbia. I believe you have met before, right?"

Columbia and Ying looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Seeing this, Yang Ming couldn't help but feel a little curious. However, before he could think about it, Columbia and Ying had already sat opposite each other. Ying even enthusiastically took out the three-color dumplings to entertain Columbia, and Columbia also smiled and tasted a few bites.

"It's been a long time! I didn't expect you to become the God of Thunder." Columbia was the first to break the silence, her voice filled with emotion and relief.

Ying nodded slightly in response. Her eyes softened and she said softly, "Ms. Columbia, it's been a long time. I'm afraid the only old friends still alive are Rock God, Wind God and you."

Columbia smiled slightly, as if she was thinking of the past. She looked at Ying with a complex emotion in her eyes.

At this time, Columbia broke the silence. She raised her head, looked at Ying seriously, and asked, "How have you been these years?"

Ying nodded and replied, "Well, I'm fine. It's just that sometimes I miss the old days when we were all together..." At this point, her voice became a little deeper.

"So... did he really die in that brutal war?" Columbia asked Ying softly with a tremor in his voice, as if he couldn't believe this cruel fact.

Ying nodded silently, with a flash of deep sadness and pain in her eyes. After all, her real departure was undoubtedly a heavy and huge blow to her, filling her heart with endless grief and loss.

Hearing this, Yang Ming was fully aware that Columbia knew them. But it made sense because when Columbia first met them, she felt the power of Morax on her clothes.

"What is your relationship, and why do you seem so familiar with each other?"

Ying and Columbia turned their heads to look at Yang Ming at the same time, and then Columbia spoke slowly.

"Before the Seven Rulers of the Earthly World were determined, the gods often gathered together. At that time, Shadow was just an unknown shadow warrior."

"I was fortunate enough to witness the gathering of the gods on Sky Island, and therefore I went down to Sky Island to participate in it."

"As time went by, I gradually noticed Ying, who sat at the bottom of the table of gods. So I took the initiative to talk to her, and through her, I also got to know Zhen."

It was at this time that Ying took over the conversation.

Her eyes became deep and distant, as if she had traveled through time and space and returned to that ancient era.

"At that time, the world had not yet been divided into seven kingdoms. The demons roamed freely on the continent of Teyvat, walking side by side with humans."

"However, the turning point of fate occurred in the earth-shattering, soul-stirring battle between the Second Throne and the First Throne."

"This war changed everything. The whole world was in turmoil. In the long and brutal war of the Year of Fire, humanity suffered a huge impact and life was in danger."

"At this critical moment, many demons stepped forward and risked their lives to protect humans." When he said this, a trace of reminiscence flashed in Ying's eyes.

Then, she turned her gaze to Columbia, who shook her head gently and said slowly: "Since then, I have fallen into an endless sleep. When I opened my eyes again, the Seven Kingdoms had risen and stood on this continent."

Her voice revealed a deep helplessness and regret about the passing of time.

"I wandered in Teyvat, and all my old friends were gone. After traveling through various countries, I fell into a deep sleep again. When I woke up again, I witnessed the landing of the Frost Nail, which easily destroyed the kingdom on the snowy mountain."

"I fell into an endless sleep again. When I opened my eyes again, I was already outside the fierce battlefield of the Battle of Kanria."

"However, I have long lost my former strength and cannot easily approach the place filled with smoke and flames of war, not to mention that justice is still waiting there."

"Then, after one last long sleep, I was awakened by the Harlequin and the Queen and became an executive officer."
