Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave

"Xumeru" is located in the center of the world. It is a country ruled by the grass element god who advocates "wisdom". However, five hundred years ago, the grass element god died unexpectedly, causing the country to fall into a large-scale desertification dilemma.

Even after a new grass god ascended the throne, the impact of that catastrophic event has not subsided. Today, the Xumi region is still a unique place where rainforests and deserts interweave, which is truly unique.

At this moment, in this vast expanse of yellow sand, stood a person that Li Mochen had just remembered - the "Princess of the Abyss" Ying. She still maintained her noble and beautiful face, but was wearing a large hooded cloak, which was an indispensable protective equipment in places where yellow sand was rampant, otherwise she would be blown beyond recognition in an instant.

Obviously, Ying and Paimon did not come to this desolate place for sightseeing. The friend of fate walked up to Ying and asked, "Hey, have you completed the connection with the 'Seven Days Statue'?"

Paimon retracted his gaze from the distance and turned to Ying. His eyes, which were deep and unfathomable just now, now became lively and innocent, like a harmless little pet. He replied, "It's done. In this way, we can control the 'grass elemental power'."

Ying had just gained this new power and had not yet noticed Paimon's abnormal behavior. The young princess waved her hand casually, and several green plants quickly grew and spread from her palm like magic. "Grass Elemental Power" is particularly special among the seven elemental powers because it controls life force.

Compared to the invisible elements of wind, fire, and thunder, as well as the tangible but lifeless elements of rock, ice, snow, and water, only the "grass elemental power" has the same vitality as humans. This means that if you master it, you will have a strong vitality. Not only can it heal wounds quickly, but it can also make the user's health more tenacious.

Ying thought that this power was very suitable for cooperation with the "rock elemental power" for direct combat. If she had the "grass elemental power" earlier, she might not have lost to the man who had been bothering her...

Thinking of this, Ying couldn't help but think of that stinky man a few months ago, Li Mochen. He often appeared in her dreams, always with a smug expression.

"Hehehe, Princess, is that it? Just like that? Just like that?"

Whenever Ying was mocked by that bastard in her dreams, her face would turn red and she would be unable to say a word, because in their previous battle, it was Li Mochen who won after all.

As a loser, Ying had no room to fight back no matter how she was ridiculed. All she could do was travel around the seven countries as quickly as possible to fully unleash her own strength.

"Paimon, the matter of 'Sumeru' is over, we can set off now."

"Oh! Let's go! So where is our next destination?"

"Let's take the shortest route and go to the water kingdom 'Fontaine' in the west first."

"Fontaine, I heard the people there are very romantic and there are a lot of delicious foods."

"You only know how to eat!" Paimon's mind was full of images of food, which made Ying feel helpless. She wondered where all the food this guy ate went.

Before leaving, Ying glanced at Paimon and sighed. She knew that there were many mysteries surrounding this guy, but she didn't want to delve into it. Because she knew that this little guy had absolutely no ill will towards her.

At the same time, as the old partners of "Sumeru" headed westward, Li Mochen said goodbye to Wendy and returned to his residence - Liuyun Jiefeng Cave.

The cave that I had been away from for a long time looked as old as ever. Recently, because Shenhe was obsessed with research, there were piles of spare parts everywhere at the entrance of the cave. The air was filled with the smell of lubricating oil and rust, just like being in a shipyard.

"Mo Chen, you're back." Shen He, who was immersed in his research, heard footsteps behind him and immediately turned around.

Normally, she would have excitedly gone up to Li Mochen to greet him after not seeing him for a long time, ready to give him a warm hug. However, at this moment, Li Mochen had no intention of talking to her, and just walked straight to his room, looking listless.

In fact, the so-called room was just one of the many platforms in the cave. Li Mochen placed his bed and daily necessities here, and over time it became his bedroom.

Seeing Li Mochen running straight to his room after returning home, Shen He couldn't help but frown. Usually Li Mochen was full of energy and exuded the vitality unique to young people, but she rarely saw such a depressed look on his face.

Well, what should I do? According to the plot in the book, I should comfort him at this time.

Thinking of this, Shen He put down the mechanical device in her hand and walked quickly towards the platform where Li Mochen was. However, she never expected that her comforting behavior would lead to unexpected results.

At this moment, Li Mochen was lying on the bed, staring at the familiar ceiling in a daze. He felt unprecedentedly tired, and his mind was a mess, which was understandable. Originally, he only wanted to deal with the meteorite, but he accidentally learned the shocking truth about the gods and human history.

Li Mochen was always reluctant to think deeply about things that were too complicated, but now there were too many aspects involved, forcing him to think carefully. Especially when he touched on a taboo question, a chill suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart:

If the sun, moon, and stars in this world are all fake, then could this world also be an illusion? If this world is fake, then are all the experiences and people I have met in this world just an illusory dream?

"What are you thinking about? Are you so engrossed in it?" Just as Li Mochen was gradually dragged into the abyss by the terrifying thoughts, a magnetic voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
