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

The next afternoon.

Xiao left Nan Dou's residence. If you look closely, you can find a faint white tree-like mark between his eyebrows.

Nandou agreed to let Xiao help him hunt the Dream Demon, but also gave him a little help for his safety.

After Nan Dou initially mastered the power of the holy elements, the mark of the Flame of Rebirth also evolved, and its appearance changed from a plum blossom-shaped mark to a pure white holy tree.

Now it should be called [Mark of the World Tree]!

"Ling, you will practice here. You can leave when you break through to the intermediate demon god realm."

"No matter if it takes decades or hundreds!"

After Xiao left, Nan Dou dispelled Ling's idea of ​​leaving with just one sentence.

Ling looked at Nan Dou's determined eyes and understood his thoughts: "I understand, teacher. I will become stronger as soon as possible and I will protect myself well."

After obtaining the sealing power, Ling's strength successfully broke through from the half-step demon god level to the middle level of the primary demon god level. With her talent, sealing power and the help of the Mark of the Flame of Rebirth, her cultivation speed will increase by who knows how many times.

That’s right, Ling still has the mark of the Flame of Rebirth on her body. It’s not that Nan Dou is reluctant to upgrade her mark, but Ou Ya said that the holy element and power are not compatible.

Because the complete holy element is actually a part of power!

The power composed of seven elemental forces is so powerful that one can easily imagine it, so it is very reasonable that it cannot coexist with other powers.

After settling Ling down, Nan Dou left his residence and headed to the Forest of Tranquility again.

Ou Ya was enjoying his little life as usual. He was not surprised to see Nan Dou coming and calmly poured him a cup of scented tea.

Nan Dou also took it skillfully and drank it in one gulp. An alluring fragrance rushed into his mind, making his eyes brighten. He then exclaimed: "It tastes good! You have a lot of good things here. Another glass!"

Ou Ya rolled her eyes in annoyance. It was the first time someone was so confident in getting something for free. All other immortals were polite to her. It was just that Nan Dou didn't care about her status.

It was Nandou's peaceful attitude that made her not feel distant. Even she herself did not notice that her behavior had become more like that of an ordinary life in Teyvat.

"Humph, you can't eat and drink for free here. You have to work for me starting tomorrow!"

Looking at Ou Ya's slightly puffy face, Nan Dou shrugged: "No problem, I'm really sorry for that."

"He!!!"

Ou Ya purred like a kitten, his eyes becoming extremely dangerous: "Who are you calling old?"

A huge soul force pressed towards Nan Dou like a tsunami, and Nan Dou even felt a little breathless, so he raised his hands and surrendered: "I was wrong, Lady Ou Ya is forever young and the most beautiful in the world!"

The pressure on his body suddenly eased, and Ou Ya let Nan Dou go.

In fact, what Nandou said was not a compliment. Having seen Eurasia's true form, he could say that it was the most perfect creature in the entire Teyvat.

Of course, Eurasia's main form is humanoid.

However, once it merges with Eurasia's soul, it will be the most perfect life in every sense.

No matter what race you are, you will find it perfect.

That is not perfection on a single aesthetic level, but the highest level of perfection at the level of life!

"Since you have nothing else to do, just get started. You still have a lot to learn."

Oya put down his teacup and led Nandou to the center of the island where she lived - a small garden surrounded by purple flowers.

Just by getting close, Nandou felt a sense of peace of soul. The flowers planted by Ouya were naturally not ordinary things.

"From now on, starting at 10 o'clock every night, you will come here to cultivate your soul power until the sun comes out in the morning."

"You now have a powerful soul power but cannot use it freely. This is absolutely unacceptable."

"The driving force of the holy elements depends on the power of the soul, and the same is true for the power of rules."

"..."

Ou Ya became serious and carefully explained to Nan Dou some ways to cultivate soul power.

In this world line, a strong person must have both a strong soul and a strong body, but the body is the lower limit, while the soul is the key to raising the upper limit.

Take Ou Ya for example, if she were given a suitable body of a primary demon god level, she would be able to exert the strength of a top demon god.

Nan Dou carefully remembered every word Ou Ya said. He didn't come here to chat with Ou Ya, but to become stronger. He had a hunch that after this interference of fate was over, his strength would be significantly improved.

So, in the next long period of time.

Nan Dou helps Ou Ya take care of various plants during the day, and cultivates his soul power under the moonlight at night.

However, the power of the soul is more difficult to control than Nandou imagined. Despite many interventions by fate, Nandou's talent cannot be compared with that of a son of a plane like Ouya.

After a full ten years, Nan Dou's progress was less than one-tenth of what Ou Ya required.

However, cultivation is something that cannot be rushed. Not everyone has the talent that Ou Ya has that is favored by the whole world.

During these ten years, Nan Dou was able to automate his work... meaning he tamed a group of intelligent monsters to work on the Eurasia island on his behalf.

Moreover, during the past ten years, Ling also stayed in Nan Dou's hut and practiced seriously.

Occasionally, Nan Dou would go home to guide Ling's training. The training of soul power can naturally also have an effect on power.

However, bad things still happened during these ten years.

After a period of silence, the Will of the Abyss once again sent out the Reverse Blade, secretly harvesting powerful and talented lives in various places in Teyvat, transforming them into Abyss Apostles and Abyss Monsters, and continuously expanding the power of the Abyss.

Naturally, the other demons also noticed Ni Ren. However, with Ni Ren's strength, ordinary strong men could not contend with him at all. The demons who could fight him could not go out easily, for fear of being seriously injured, they would be picked by other demons.

It is against this background that the intensity of the Demon War has once again increased.

The corresponding price is more casualties.

Almost every year, no, every few months, there would be a few new graves in the vacant lot where Xiaoguang's grave was.

No one notified Nan Dou, but every time a new grave was erected, a few days later one of their favorite things in life would be placed in front of the grave.

It was just another ordinary day. Nan Dou came to Ouya's island silently from outside and happened to run into Ouya who was watering flowers.

She didn't let Nandou touch some plants on the Eurasian Island because Nandou couldn't grow those plants well without her.

"came back?"

"Ah."

Ou Ya didn't even turn her head. She knew where Nan Dou came from. She just said lightly: "Sometimes, the bond is the biggest source of pain. This is what the immortal species must adapt to."

"If you suffer like this every time, you will only suffer more and more in the future."

Ou Ya saw the turmoil in Nan Dou's soul and couldn't help but remind him.

Nan Dou was silent for a moment, then shook his head firmly: "Whether it is painful or tormenting, every encounter is what life should experience. If life comes to an end, looking back at the past, it will be a blank..."

Nan Dou didn't continue speaking because he knew that everyone's understanding of life was different.

Ouya was silent, she had been traveling in Teyvat for thousands of years and had experienced everything that Nandou had experienced, and even more.

Every time someone close to her passed away, she would feel sad and upset. After countless times, she did not become numb, but chose to escape. As long as she didn't start, there would be no sad ending.

"I see.

Ou Ya's simple reply meant that she respected Nan Dou's choice.
