Genshin Impact: Pool Character, Nirvana of the Demon God

——Teyvat

Liyue, an abandoned village in the Tianheng Mountain area.

Yunjin, Ying, and Paimeng looked at Shen He in the distance in silence.

[The goddess descended beside me. ]

[I don’t want to talk, I just want to eat the knife...]

[Shen He's original words: "Perhaps the little girl in the opera is not as brave as everyone says." Woohoo~ My Shen He. ]

[I am about to be crushed by this cruel fact...]

[The human heart is more terrible than the fate of the lonely evil. 】

"This is the truth, it's really sad."

"No wonder she said the goddess wasn't as brave as she was portrayed in the play, because she was forced to face such a dangerous situation."

"It seems that my father's "The Goddess Splitting the View" may need some revisions..."

Ying suddenly said to Yunjin: "Thank you."

"Ah? Traveler, why are you thanking me all of a sudden?"

"Thank you for being willing to modify the opera left by your father for Shen He." Ying said seriously.

Paimon nodded and said, "Yes, yes, that was your father's hard work, but you are willing to make changes for Shen He."

Yun Jin said, "You two are too polite. If my father were here, he would make the same choice as me."

“Although ‘The Goddess Splits the View’ is the result of my father’s hard work, its significance is to pass on the legend of the Goddess and make the audiences in Liyue Harbor smile happily.”

“But if this play makes the goddess herself sad, then the meaning of the existence of “The Goddess Splits the View” has been reversed.”

【Master Yun really has a positive outlook and high emotional intelligence. 】

[Yun Jin is so gentle, she cares more about the feelings of the person involved than her own father's hard work. ]

【Yun Jin: Dad, change the script!!!】

【Dad: My dear daughter, you are so filial. 】

"Ying, what do you think... should we prepare some words to comfort Shen He?" Paimeng asked.

Ying shook her head and said:

"No, Shen He definitely doesn't want to be comforted by us."

"...Well, let's continue looking for clues to the Secret Stone!"

Paimon made a gesture of encouragement.

Soon, the three of them searched the area they were responsible for again, but in the end they failed to find any relevant clues.

"Well... I've looked around but still haven't found any clues." Paimon said helplessly.

Ying looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting late, let's go meet up with Jun Bai and Shen He first."

"Yeah." x2

Back at the village entrance, the conversation between Shen He and Ming Jun continued.

Mingjun sighed:

"One year when I came back, I also heard the story about the 'white-haired fairy' from a passing merchant, but I didn't expect it was you."

Then, Mingjun said with great sorrow:

"Your father and I were close friends. I had the opportunity to stop him from holding the ceremony, but I let it go out of my soft heart, which ultimately led to a huge mistake."

【It turns out that you are also a part of this. 】

[I'm wondering what you're feeling guilty about, old man. It turns out you're one of the culprits who caused my wife's tragedy! ]

[He is not the culprit. After all, this old man is just an outsider and has no reason to meddle in other people's family affairs. ]

[I am just a bystander whose conscience is condemned. Compared with that newborn, I am still okay. 】

"Every year I bring back some flowers, and I always feel like I owe you an apology."

"Brother, what you said is wrong."

Jun Bai came over holding Yiya and said:

"As a person who is already insane, you as an outsider may be able to stop him the first time, but there will be a second time, a third time..."

"As long as that person always believes that Shen He's fate is the root cause of everything, that thing will definitely happen."

"It's not you who needs to apologize to Shen He, but the person who is not worthy of being called a father."

Mingjun really didn't owe Shenhe anything in this matter, it was just because of the relationship with that mentally ill guy.

That's why you feel guilty after something happens.

Just like a bystander who witnesses a murder, does not step up to stop it from happening mean that person is guilty?

What's more, what would happen even if the persuasion was successful?

For the murderer, if he fails this time, there will be another one.

Even if Shen He's father was stopped by Ming Jun that time, that guy who was bewitched by the remnants of the devil would still plan a second time.

Never attribute the occurrence of an incident to the inaction of bystanders, because the real evil is the person who commits the sin.

[As expected of Brother Bai, he can always make things clear. 】

[This makes a lot of sense. Rather than saying that it was the old man's inaction that led to Shen He's tragedy, wasn't it that fake person who really caused the tragedy? ]

[Ask yourself, if we were the old man, would we make a different choice? Who can say for sure? ]

"Senior." Shen He nodded to Jun Bai, then looked at Ming Jun, "Uncle Ming Jun, it's just like what you said."

"For the one you love, you can give everything."

"Even I am like this..."

Mingjun sighed, then looked at Junbai and said, "Sir, just call me by my name."

"To call you my lord a brother would be like shortening the life of my old bones."

After correcting Jun Bai's name that would shorten his life, Ming Jun asked Shen He, "Then... do you still hate him?"

Shen He shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"I was originally a lonely star. My master gave me a red string to lock my soul. It helped me suppress my violent temper, but it also made me as indifferent as an immortal."

"Now when I think of the past, it's better to say I have no feelings than to say I hate it or not hate it."

[Ahe, can you say you hate me? You will only make me feel heartbroken. ]

[My defense was immediately broken after hearing this. 】

[I also want my emotions to be as indifferent as those of an immortal, so that I don’t have to care about those inhuman things in the world.]

[What’s more terrifying than hating someone extremely is not being able to raise any emotions when the person you hate the most is right in front of you…]

"I have really worked hard for you these past years..."

Mingjun sighed.

"Shen He, Jun Bai—we are back!"

Ying, Paimeng and Yunjin were walking towards them from afar.

Seeing this, Mingjun said to Shenhe: "Then I'll take my leave first. Knowing that you are okay, I feel better."

"Next time I have a chance, I can tell you about the past again."

Mingjun turned and left, and before leaving, he said to Junbai: "Ahe, thank you for taking care of me over the years."

"As elders, it is our duty to take care of the younger generation."

Jun Bai put Yiya down, crossed his arms and smiled.

"With you here, I can finally feel at ease."

Mingjun sighed, then nodded to Ying and his group, and then left the village.
