Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave

"It's been a long time since we last met. Why are you suddenly so warm to me?"

The person who grabbed Wendy's wrist unexpectedly was naturally his long-standing target - Li Mochen himself.

At the same time, as Li Mochen started to move, the huge meteorite began to change.

The meteor formed by Leonard's soul shattered and fell to the ground, turning into a pile of ashes. The life story of this most outstanding adventurer in Mondstadt and even the world came to an end.

Leonard, I have heard your reluctance, so leave the rest to me.

After Li Mochen came out of that spiritual world, he seemed to be a new person. His face became more resolute, and a strong will burst out from his eyes, which made him completely different from before. But this did not mean that Li Mochen's strength had improved significantly, but that he now had a new goal - to expose the lies of the gods.

"Caelummendācium, the sky is a lie."

This sentence was carved on the "Pointed Hat Peak" by the ancients many years ago. Later, the peak was razed to the ground by the gods. Two thousand years ago, the adventurer Leonard learned this sentence and died because of it. However, even if the mountain was razed and the people who knew about it were wiped out, the meteor shower still spanned two thousand years of time and imprinted this sentence in the heart of the Liyue Immortal.

This feeling is like a relay race, a relay race against the gods. Even if the gods killed countless humans to keep the secret, there will always be some people who take over the will to resist and raise the banner of rebellion against the law of nature.

Looking at the complex and determined look in Li Mochen's eyes, Wendy also understood.

He slowly withdrew his hand and asked Li Mochen: "What did you see in that spiritual world just now?"

"Before I answer your question, I hope you can answer a question for me first."

"please say."

"Are you Barbatos or Wendy now?"

This question was a bit tricky. As we all know, Barbatos is Wendy, and Wendy is Barbatos. However, Li Mochen's question obviously had a deeper meaning.

In his opinion, the former wind god in front of him had a dual identity. The name Barbatos was given by Sky Island, representing the position of Sky Island; while the name Wendy was given by himself, symbolizing his personal position. In other words, if it was Barbatos who appeared here, then Barbatos at this moment might not be trustworthy; on the contrary, if it was Wendy, then she was Li Mochen's friend and was trustworthy.

However, when Wendy heard this question, she smiled and shook her head.

"You think too much. I am who I am. No matter what name I am called, my essence will not change."

"So, it was your idea to flatten the Peak and build a barrier in the sky?"

"Yes, this is done to protect humans, not Sky Island."

As expected, Li Mochen seemed to have seen through everything, which gave Wendy a headache. But now it is not two thousand years ago after all, those guys should still be asleep, so it should be okay to explain it.

Thinking of those beings sitting on the throne, Wendy shuddered. Although Wendy's statement sounded a little unbelievable, Li Mochen could roughly understand his intention. The gods were afraid that the secrets of the sky would be leaked, so Wendy destroyed the places where these secrets could be peeped into. On the surface, it seemed that he was protecting the gods, but in fact, he might be protecting humans. Because once humans knew the secrets of the gods, they would probably end up like Leonard, unable to escape death.

"Is it because anyone who discovers the secrets of the sky will be executed by the gods?"

"If only one or two people were killed, it would be acceptable, but in the eyes of God, the fate of even a country is not worth mentioning."

“The life and death of a country?”

"Let's sit over there and talk. It might take a while, but you'll understand after you hear it."

Seeing Li Mochen's surprised expression, Wendy pointed to the rocks on the seashore not far away.

The direction of his finger was exactly towards the snow-capped mountain in Mond.

Between Mondstadt and Liyue stands a towering snow-capped mountain, which is now the highest peak in Mondstadt - Dragon's Back Snow Mountain. A few months ago, Li Mochen climbed this snow-capped mountain, and it was there that he first met Ying and Albedo.

However, when Li Mochen and Wendy sat side by side on the edge of the cliff, gazing at the mountain that reached into the clouds, what Wendy said next shocked him.

"See that snowy mountain? It was once a prosperous country called 'Shar Findenir'."

"A prosperous country? Can a country be established in a place like that?"

Li Mochen looked up at the top of the snow-capped mountain. It was hard to imagine that a large-scale civilized society had once been born there.

"That was a long, long time ago, even when I was first materializing."

Wendy's eyes also fell on the snow-capped mountains, but what he saw was not the snow-capped mountains themselves, but the historical relics hidden in them.

Two thousand six hundred years ago, the land of Mondstadt was covered with ice and snow, and living conditions were extremely harsh. Most people had to enter Stormwind City and accept the king's rule for shelter. Only a few refugees were scattered on the ice field, wandering around.

Among them, one tribe came to the snowy mountain area which had not yet been eroded by the wind and snow. At that time, this place was not covered by ice and snow, but presented a vibrant green scene. On the desolate Mond Glacier at that time, this mountain peak was like a paradise on earth.

Ironically, after more than 2,000 years, this once paradise was called "Snow Mountain" by the Mond people. The originally snow-covered, desolate and bleak ice field has become a green paradise on earth.

The cause of all these changes is the action of the gods.

At some point, a huge spike fell from the sky, submerging the entire Findenir in endless snow. In the end, this country built on the top of the snowy mountain came to an end in this sudden divine punishment.

"It's not just Findenir that has suffered this kind of divine punishment. There are many countries around the world that have been destroyed by the will of God."

As she spoke, Wendy was indirectly responding to Li Mochen's previous question about why she helped him cover up the truth, why she leveled the Jianmaozi Peak and set up the Sky Wall.

Otherwise, the same disaster may befall the people of Mond one day.
