Genshin Impact: I will turn into a breeze and continue to blow over Mondstadt
Chapter 242 God's Duty
"Is this the power of God... heh..." Dainsleb murmured after recovering from the scene just now.
As the faint light dissipated, everything gradually calmed down.
In the corner, the Apostle of the Abyss was already trembling with fear and quickly ran away.
At this moment, the six lights connected to the purification device were blocked, and it stopped working...
"Qianyu, it's really you!" Paimeng looked at Qianyu with some surprise.
"But I remember someone said..." Just as she was about to continue, Qianyu interrupted her.
"Hahaha, having said that, but..."
"When I said goodbye to you, I felt the breath of my origin from other cracks." Qianyu explained.
"Origin?" Hearing this, Ying's lively eyes suddenly showed a trace of deep doubt, as if a stone was thrown into a calm lake and ripples appeared. She frowned slightly, thinking secretly in her heart what this unknown concept meant.
“How should I put it? It’s like the close connection between the human body and consciousness. For the demon god, the origin is like an invisible bond, which is the hub connecting itself with the earth veins.” Qianyu spoke slowly, with a thoughtful light in his eyes.
His words were like a gentle breeze, blowing softly through this silent space.
"Perhaps what I was tracking before was..." Qianyu said, and his originally focused gaze involuntarily turned to the broken body of the mechanical demon not far away.
"So that guy has your origin in him? No wonder he looks so much like you, it's as if they were carved from the same mold!" Paimon's round little face suddenly revealed a look of sudden enlightenment, with curiosity flashing in his eyes.
"But as you said, the relationship between the demon god and his origin is so close. How could your origin be easily taken away by others?" A hint of doubt flashed in Ying's eyes, and he stared at Qianyu closely, trying to find some clues from his expression and words.
At this moment, her mind was like a raging sea, constantly recalling the meaningful words that Dainsleb had left behind.
Gods are beings that transcend the scope of ordinary people's cognition and possess unimaginable power or wisdom.
But why did this god in front of him embark on this long and arduous journey under the pretext of finding the so-called "answer"?
Every time she thought about it, Ying became more confused. When she thought of Kong and the mysterious god who intercepted their descent, the doubts in Ying's heart became like a tangled mess, becoming tighter and tighter.
Could it be that Qianyu actually has other purposes?
At this moment, a trace of imperceptible loneliness flashed in Qianyu's deep eyes. He slowly turned his gaze to Ying and keenly noticed the flash of doubt in her eyes.
Qianyu sighed softly, and that sigh contained endless helplessness and vicissitudes, as if the years had left a deep mark in his heart.
"Do you doubt me? Haha, it must be because of Dainsleb..." His low and slightly hoarse voice echoed in the quiet space, and every word hit Ying's heart like a heavy hammer.
"Well, after all, witnessing one's hometown being destroyed by the Abyss and the Throne of God with one's own eyes is something that no one can let go of."
"Do you remember the Kanria Cataclysm? Ying, I'm sure Dain has mentioned it to you as well."
Ying listened quietly to Qianyu's story, her expression became more and more serious, and the uneasiness in her heart was like a burning flame, burning more and more vigorously.
"The reason why my demon origin overflowed and scattered in the world, or was infected by the abyss, the answer is actually about to come out..." Qianyu's voice gradually became low and powerful.
He stretched out his hand and felt the faint original fluctuations in the air. That was the trace of his former existence, but now it was eroded by the abyss and became chaotic.
"That's because I've really died once."
"Ah? I died once!" Paimon widened his eyes when he heard this, his face full of disbelief, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.
"I remember now. Are the legends Captain Qin told true?"
Paimon recalled the first time she exposed Qianyu's identity. At that time, she thought that he was just like Wendy, who found an excuse, made up a legend to get rid of the people, and then went away to relax alone...
Ying's already lively eyes were now even more rounded, and the exaggeration of her expression was beyond imagination, as if it could contain the entire sea of stars.
In comparison, the usually quirky Paimon seemed overshadowed at this moment.
"So what you mean is..." Her voice trembled more and more violently, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of her throat with difficulty.
"That's right, I died on the battlefield of the Kanreya disaster, and this is also the reason why my origin overflowed." Qianyu said slowly, but the expression that should have been sad showed a hint of imperceptible relief, as if telling a heavy and helpless past.
"Faced with the abyss, even gods would feel powerless..."
He slowly raised his weathered hands and clasped his own hands tightly, with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to hold all the memories in his hands.
Then he gently brushed away the dust on his clothes that seemed to never be wiped away. His action revealed a kind of indifference that came from the passage of time.
"The abyss, it is like a greedy demon, madly corroding the foundation of this world all the time. In order to fight against it, the sky had no choice but to send down the so-called immortal curse." A complex light flashed in Qianyu's eyes, which was a sigh for fate and a recollection of the past.
“Although this method can slow down the erosion of the abyss to a certain extent, it will also inevitably transform the cursed into that terrifying undead monster…” His words were full of firmness and determination, as if he was declaring something to the world.
"Perhaps in the eyes of heaven, this is the punishment for opening the connection between the abyss and the world, and it is also the sin that Kanriya should bear."
"Is that how it is? But it feels so cruel..." Paimon murmured, but for some reason his forehead ached slightly.
"Indeed, but sacrifices are inevitable."
At this moment, Qianyu raised his head slightly and looked at the dark sky.
"Actually, I should have told you these words a long time ago, Ying."
"It is the duty of gods to protect the mortal world, and everything I do is just to find the answer - to fight against the abyss."
Hearing this, Ying remained silent. She turned around and stared into Qianyu's eyes quietly...
