Genshin Impact: I am best at sacrifice, don't cry

The so-called demonic body is actually not complicated.

To explain it in one sentence: In order to satisfy the Immortal Boat people's desire for immortality, the God of Plenty engraved the standard of immortality in the genes of the Immortal Boat people, but the Immortal Boat people's understanding of immortality deviates from that of the God of Plenty.

The principle of immortality of the Xianzhou people is that cells throughout the body can transform between specialized cells and stem cells as needed.

This transformation follows specific rules, and no disorder will occur under the power of the God of Fertility.

However, this state of immortality will not last forever. At a certain critical point, this state will be broken, and the body of the immortal boat person will undergo major changes.

This kind of change usually has five stages, during which the following five symptoms will appear: [injury], [defilement], [anger], [othering], and [ignorance].

[Injury] refers to the physical body being severely damaged due to external violence, which requires a long and painful process of repair through self-healing ability.

[Contamination] refers to the fact that after the immortal body is infected by certain tenacious extraterrestrial viruses or bacteria, it will coexist with them for a long time.

[Anger] refers to a state of mind that produces resentment and the desire to harm others, and one's emotions begin to fluctuate violently between sadness, joy, resentment and anger.

[Transformation] means that the body begins to develop mutated organs and can no longer maintain the stable state of the human form.

[Unconsciousness] means that people's minds will be occupied by an inexplicable feeling of emptiness, and fall into a state of confusion.

According to statistics on the Immortal Boat, those who are most likely to fall into the devil's body are mostly retired Cloud Cavalrymen.

There is a basis for this, and Nan Dou has a deep understanding of this.

After thousands of years of research by the Xianzhou Alliance, one view has been widely recognized:

Doctor Xianzhou believes that the demonic body is related to memory. Although the immortal species has an extremely long lifespan, the capacity of its memory is ultimately limited.

Hundreds and thousands of years have passed, and the emotional threshold that the immortal species can feel has been constantly increasing. The memory has gradually become thin and tired under the erosion of time, leaving only the most extreme and vivid precipitation, which is almost certainly the remnant of memories of pain and regret.

The ending of the immortal species is that one will no longer feel happiness and joy, and only regret and hatred will remain like scars engraved in the heart.

Under these extreme emotions, the human self begins to collapse, and this is the beginning of the demonic body.

In summary, the cause of the devil's body is that the long lifespan fills up the limited memory of the immortal species.

Later, Nan Dou came into contact with many people from the immortal boat who were on the verge of falling into the devil's body, and he gradually came to agree with this point of view.

Among them, the one who left the deepest impression on Nan Dou was a fairy boatman from the Danding Division.

Day after day, the long-lasting medical work and repetitive life made the eyes of the fairy boat man numb and dull.

When Nan Dou was talking to him, the other party even wanted to fast forward to the next hundred years, and even died directly without any problem.

Years of repetitive work and life dulled his emotions, and before long, he completely fell into the realm of evil.

Nan Dou didn't know what his end would be because the people of Juousi took him away before that.

The mysterious Ten Kings Division couldn't even find out the identity of Nan Dou.

Before he fell into the devil's body, Nan Dou also tried some methods to enlighten him.

But judging from the results, he failed.

Emotions accumulated over a long period of time cannot be changed overnight. As an ordinary human being, Nan Dou could not even forget the unforgettable memories of his childhood schooling when he was 20 years old.

For immortal species like the Xianzhou people, how could they forget the same work and life that has lasted for a hundred years just by a few words?

People use emotions as the cornerstone and memories as the steps to form the long ladder of life.

Normally, the memories that make up the steps should be colorful.

But for some people on the Immortal Boat, these steps of memory are the same color.

The Xianzhou Alliance is not unaware of this problem, it just cannot solve it.

The major immortal ships of the Immortal Ship Alliance and their followers patrolled the Star God Mist and hunted the rich people without stopping. Among them, the professions of cloud cavalry and doctors have always been in short supply.

If it is other professions, they can be rotated at will, but these two are extremely difficult.

Especially for doctors, not all people in Xianzhou have this talent. On the contrary, it takes extremely high talent to become an excellent doctor.

"A healer cannot heal himself."

After meeting several people from the Immortal Boat who were on the verge of falling into the evil spirit body, Nan Dou almost became autistic, and it took him decades to recover.

He finally understood why few people in the Ten Kings Division looked like normal people.

In this kind of working environment, it would be hard to stay long without some uniqueness.

However, these are only considered from the perspective of human beings themselves. The Star God has never considered these "little things" from beginning to end.

After bestowing the blessing of eternal life, the God of Fertility never considered whether humans could still retain self-awareness when their spiritual will reached its limit.

The most important piece of evidence is that any physical defect can be restored to its original state after falling into the devil's body.

It can even be said that the conflict between the Xianzhou people and the Fengrao people originated from this.

The Xianzhou people believe that those before the devil's body are so-called humans, while in the Fengrao people's view, those before and after the devil's body are all humans.

But in Nandou's view, the two concepts are nothing more than one adhering to the bottom line of humanity, and the other advocating to follow the God of the Rich Star and pursuing a more thorough sublimation of life.

As for the spiritual intelligence lost in this process, it is just a negligible price to pay on the road to evolution.

Let's get back to Jingliu. Nandou knew clearly that she would fall into the devil's body in the future, and the time would be more than a hundred years later.

Mirror Ryu has lived his entire life seeking revenge against Fengzao. Kendo is no longer just a tool for his revenge, but an indispensable part of his life.

The symptoms displayed by Jingliu's demonic body are also related to her past. When an attack occurs, she will feel resentment and want to harm others, and her emotions will begin to fluctuate between extreme sadness, joy, resentment and anger.

This is typical [anger]!

Although Nandou didn't know why Jingliu was able to regain consciousness after falling into the devil's body, he took the opportunity of teaching Xiaoyu to learn musical instruments hundreds of years ago in order to add more unique colors to Jingliu's memory.

Nan Dou didn't know if doing this could reduce her pain after she fell into the devil's body, but some things had to be done even if the outcome was unknown!

"The demonic body is not a curse against humans, but a [disaster of life and death] that all immortals will encounter."

In the world of Bengtie, what the Xianzhou people encounter is called [Demonic Yin Body], and in Teyvat, it also has another name [Wear and Draw].

Nan Dou was lying on the roof of his yard, looking at the full moon in the sky, and couldn't help thinking:

"Am I wrong to blindly pursue a solution to the demonic body?"

"The Xianzhou people have used history to prove the price of immortality for a race with normal fertility."

"Having known Jingliu for so many years, I also know that her hatred for the people of abundance has not diminished over time. Instead, it has intensified and will eventually devour herself."

"So... death is a better destination?"

"Death is salvation!"

The moment he thought clearly, the seed of hope in Nan Dou's body grew rapidly, from a seedling to a small tree.
