Genshin Impact: Without the Eye of God, the Original Man Witnesses the Original

After coming out of the cave, Jiang Yi saw Hu Tao watching people being turned into salt, marveling at them.

"This person's posture is too awkward. It's obvious that his reaction is too slow and his hands and feet are not flexible."

"And this guy, at first glance, is fast and smart, but unfortunately... it's useless!"

After the funeral, the solemn Walnut's true nature showed and he immediately became lively and funny.

Leaving footprints on the salt land.

Ying and Paimon are searching for treasure, and Keqing is surveying the land nearby.

A group of ceremonial attendants cautiously and fearfully avoided the salt-changing people, gathered aside and whispered.

Wan Yan was looking at a mural on a wall of the ruins.

Zhongli came over and said, "Xiaoyou and Ying, how about you chat with me?"

Jiang Yi found Ying and Paimeng, and stood in a corner of the ruins with Zhongli.

"Mr. Zhongli, what do you want to say?" they asked.

"Do you still remember Guyun Pavilion?" Under the dark sky, lights flickered, and Zhongli spoke as he looked at the dilapidated ruins.

"Of course I remember!" Paimon said, "The Whirlpool Demon God 'Osel' was the one who escaped from Lord Guyun. We also searched for fragments of the Qun Yu Pavilion there with Jiang Yi and made a lot of money."

Zhongli chuckled: "Ningguang wants to recycle her collection!"

"In fact, in addition to the fragments of the Jade Pavilion, the turbulent waves caused by the Whirlpool Demon God also gave many ancient artifacts the opportunity to see the light of day again. Those ancient artifacts that contain historical research value are also very popular."

"Hey! Then can we look for Ying again when we have a chance?" Although the pocket money under Paimeng's shoes was increasing, Paimeng never rejected the opportunity to make a fortune.

Ying held her forehead with her hand.

Paimon, can you please take a look at the atmosphere?

"Lord Guyun, you have suppressed many demon gods of the past." Zhongli didn't care about Paimeng's greed for money, and his tone carried the vicissitudes of history, "Emperor Yanwang used rocks as spears and threw them into that sea, piercing and suppressing the demon gods."

"There are many rock guns of various sizes and angles. Due to seawater erosion or gravity, many of them collapsed and sank to the bottom of the sea as a whole."

"After years of weathering, only the tip of the iceberg remains, forming the unique Guyun Pavilion today."

It's clearly my own story, but it sounds like I'm talking about someone else.

"Such a big mountain is actually your weapon?" Paimon expressed shock.

Zhongli looked at Ying and Jiang Yi calmly: "I ended an era with my own hands. I have been thinking about how to record the history that was ended by me."

"The recording method that Jiang Yi told Yu Heng about is very good! But history can be recorded, but it is not reliable."

"This incident also proves this point. Time has a powerful force. History will be distorted over the years..."

Jiang Yi nodded: "It is not uncommon for stories from the past to be passed down to the present day and for the content to change, resulting in a hundred or eighty contradictory versions."

"So, what does Zhongli want me and Jiang Yi to do?" Ying asked smartly.

"I need to find a better 'record' to record the true history." Zhongli looked at the stone pillars in the ruins and the patterns on them. "Stone carving was once a long-standing 'record', but the seemingly unchanging rock, the seemingly unchanging world and me...may all disappear one day."

Paimeng suddenly felt a little sad and calmed down: "Zhongli..."

"Ying!" Zhongli said to Ying, "You are someone who has traveled across the heavens and the sea of ​​stars. If I engrave history in your memory, I can travel to another world with you one day in the future."

"As a traveler, as long as you can 'record' it, then the era and history of Teyvat will have a kind of 'existential backup'..."

Jiang Yi opened his mouth and closed it again.

Perhaps, in my hometown, there is already an era and history of Teyvat, the entire world has a back-up, and is known to hundreds of millions of humans.

So, which one is ahead, the time in my hometown or Teyvat?

Am I in the past or the future?

There was a trace of confusion in his eyes. The secret of time travel and the fog of time enveloped him at this moment.

I have never thought about it before. If Teyvat is real, then is it possible that my hometown accidentally observed Teyvat, or someone left a backup in my hometown, or is it that civilization radiates to all worlds and becomes a story for each other?

"So this is the reason why you came with us." Ying figured out why Zhongli came here to explain history for free.

"The road ahead is long and arduous!" Paimon felt that the responsibility of carrying the history of a whole world was heavy.

Zhongli noticed Jiang Yi's emotions.

"Little friend? Little friend?"

Jiang Yi came back to his senses: "Mr. Zhongli!"

"You are a person from another world who has crossed the universe, endless dimensions, and countless worlds and drifted here. The power in you..." Zhongli paused, "The nature of this power is for you to reveal yourself!"

"The culture of Liyue and even Teyvat is familiar yet strange in your eyes. You are a variable among variables, a more special existence than Ying."

"The transformation you made of yourself has put you on a journey of witnessing, and has also violated the taboos of Teyvat."

"You are the world tree whose history will not be distorted by others. You may perish, be replaced, fall into deep sleep, or transcend..."

"You will become stronger because of your testimony, but you will also encounter enemies because of your testimony..."

“The future is determined by human effort… The road is under our feet, the first step is now, and the present is the future.”

"Take care of yourself!"

Ying and Paimeng looked at Zhongli and Jiang Yi in confusion. They only heard something about people from another world at the beginning, and then they just saw the two of them looking at each other, as if they were communicating, but also as if they were silent.

Jiang Yi felt the Emperor's consciousness touching him, making him the only one at the scene who could hear the Emperor's voice and see the Emperor speak.

After Zhongli finished speaking, his consciousness left.

"After telling so many stories, saying so many things, and seeing the relics of the old times, it's inevitable that I miss some of the old friends."

"Thousands of years ago, Liyue was in turmoil. I and other immortals swept across the land. The place where the Rock Spear suppressed the demons, the Lonely Cloud Pavilion..."

"After thousands of years, in the end, only anecdotes and legends remain."

Zhongli took a step forward, "Osel... is my enemy, not my friend. The antagonism of the old times is just a memory of the old times."

"I'm going to go to Guyun Pavilion. I'm afraid the opportunities to reminisce will become fewer and fewer."

"You two..."

"If you enjoyed this trip, you may want to 'record' it next time and travel together again."

He turned around, said something to Master Hu, then gradually walked out of the Salt of the Earth and headed for the cemetery of the gods on the sea.

Jiang Yi pursed his lips, his thoughts flying, he found a place to sit down and drank in silence.

He was not a drunkard, and he could not stand strong liquor. He put wine in the jade gourd just to have a drink to relieve the salty taste when eating alone.

When you are bored, have it as a drink.

At this moment, he didn't know why he was drinking.

Homesick? Worried about the future? Or confused?

Ying and Paimeng looked at each other. I don't know what Zhongli and Jiang Yi said, but it seems that their feelings are more complicated than ours.

But since Zhongli and Jiang Yi didn't say anything on their own initiative, they didn't feel comfortable asking.
