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

Liyue, outside the Rocky Chasm.

Ye Lan looked around and could tell at a glance that this was outside the huge rock abyss. She was very familiar with the place.

"Wait a moment, there is another friend of mine who wants to go with you."

Ye Lan didn’t know who the friend Nan Dou was talking about, but she guessed that he was most likely an immortal, so she didn’t say anything.

Soon, a green figure flashed by from a distance and stopped in front of the two people.

"The Great Saint Who Subdues Demons!"

Although there are not many records about the demon-conquering Great Saint Xiao, as the intelligence chief under Ningguang, Ye Lan has naturally seen some immortals, Xiao being one of them.

After all, it is impossible for a "person" who appears and disappears mysteriously in Wangshu Inn to have his identity thoroughly investigated.

In this way, Ye Lan completely believed that his master was an immortal.

"Nandou, long time no see."

In fact, sometimes Nan Dou also wants to complain that people say "long time no see" too many times, but for him, it is not really that long.

But if you think about it carefully, for those who have always been thinking about him, it really has been a long time since they last saw each other.

So, Nandou patted Xiao on the shoulder with great emotion: "Long time no see, brother!"

After a brief greeting, Nandou discussed the operation with Xiao.

From their discussion, Ye Lan finally understood the purpose of this trip.

Back then, her ancestor, together with the lost Yaksha and the Teng Snake Grand Marshal Fushe, sealed the Layered Abyss at the cost of their lives for the safety of the Liyue land.

Of course, these truths were all told by Nan Dou. Xiao didn't know the true situation of Fushe. He only knew that someone had seen Fushe there that year.

"That place down there is not a safe place. The disaster of five hundred years has not been eliminated yet. Don't separate from me after you go in."

Five hundred years have passed, and the seal of the Layered Abyss is still solid, but who Nan Dou is is not a problem for him.

Moreover, before coming here, Nan Dou had once met with Morax and explained the situation to him, which served as a layer of insurance.

There is more than one seal where the Layered Abyss is located. Only the mine where the disaster occurred is sealed tightly.

A piece of talisman paper in Nan Dou's hand quickly burned up, and the three of them entered through it.

"..."

Depth and darkness were the first feelings that Nan Dou had when he first saw the abyss. This was followed by a vague feeling of oppression, along with fragmentary mumblings coming from nowhere, which made one feel a little numb.

but……

"I said, let there be light!"

Pure white flames ignited out of nowhere, extending rapidly into the mine like a few meteors, and the darkness around the three people was instantly dispelled.

For a moment, it was as bright as day.

"Okay, let's go!"

The three people's journey of exploration began.

From the moment the three entered the mine, strange things kept happening around them, but it seemed that they were afraid of Nan Dou's holy elemental fire and did not affect the three at all.

Ye Lan and Xiao knew nothing about this place, so naturally they didn't know where to go.

But Nan Dou was different. His powerful soul power allowed him to easily sense the destination of this journey.

Seeing Nan Dou's confident look, Ye Lan's uneasiness immediately disappeared. Since childhood, there was nothing that her master could not do.

As the three of them went deeper, more and more clues about the horrific disaster that happened five hundred years ago began to emerge.

The rock walls were covered with traces of fierce fighting, and many of the minerals were stained with blood from unknown sources. After five hundred years of fermentation, their original appearance was no longer recognizable.

Various monsters, human remains and rotten parts of various machines were scattered everywhere, all foreshadowing the brutality of the battle.

The deeper you go, the more seriously you seem to be affected by some mysterious force.

Lost ghosts, transparent energy balls that made Nan Dou feel uneasy, and even flashes of afterimages from the previous battle.

This is a place deep in the earth, where veins run thick and anything left over from that war could reappear here.

However, any abnormal things would be reduced to ashes in front of Nan Dou's holy elements, so the three people's progress was unusually smooth.

Soon, they arrived at the destination that Nan Dou felt.

From a distance, the three of them saw a ball of purple chaotic energy with a wide range and some black light in it.

"Is this the place? Nandou."

Feeling the slight tremor coming from the Yaksha bloodline, Xiao excitedly asked Nan Dou for confirmation.

"Yes, this is it."

"This is the final... burial place of Brother Fushe."

Nan Dou didn't know what complicated feelings he had in mind when he said this.

Xiao's expression did not change. After so many years, he had already prepared himself mentally for this.

"Master, there..."

Somehow, Ye Lan also felt an indescribable feeling from there.

Nandou was a little surprised, but still explained: "Your ancestor once crossed paths with my eldest brother, Yasha Fushe. In the end, they gave up the opportunity to escape in order to protect the seal here."

"They are all heroes of Liyue."

Ye Lan didn't reply, but just stared blankly at the ball of energy.

For human beings, five hundred years is really too long. After so many generations, no matter how strong the blood relationship is, only a name will remain. But who can say for sure about blood relationship?

"Go and take a look. Maybe you'll have a chance to see them one last time."

The three of them walked together. Nan Dou gathered the holy element, and the energy ball seemed to have thoughts, slowly wrapping up the three people who were approaching.

A dusty memory that had been buried here for five hundred years unfolded before the three people like an unfolding scroll.

Nandou was deeply impressed by this. The lost Yasha still chose to sacrifice himself based on instinct alone, and only found his real name at the last moment.

Who wouldn’t be moved by this?

After a long time, the three of them walked out of the energy ball, looked at each other, and saw the complexity and emotion in each other's eyes.

"They didn't regret it until the last moment. Respect their choice."

Nan Dou opened his hands and slowly released the light of the holy element. The purple energy ball did not disappear into thin air like the ones the three people had encountered before, but gradually faded.

Finally, a black aura dissipated, and two souls supporting each other appeared in front of the three people. They were the ancestors of Fushe and Ye Lan.

However, too much time had passed, and the souls of the two could no longer be maintained. After being purified by Nan Dou, they just looked at the three people with satisfaction, and then dissipated between heaven and earth.

"It's not a good place to stay for long. Let's go. There's nothing to linger for."

A golden light suddenly appeared in Nan Dou's eyes, and he led the two of them through the darkness and out of the rocky abyss.
