Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

On the other side, the World Tree.

Shao Yun stood there and waited for a long time.

Time passed by minute by minute, but the four people baptized in deep sins never spoke.

Finally, he couldn't hold back his temper anymore and asked Kong beside him, "Did we...really succeed? Did Miss Huanian's fate change?"

At this moment, Kong was staring at the four Deep Sin Baptists standing around the World Tree. They nodded slightly at him, indicating that everything was going well.

Seeing this scene, Kong felt relieved. He turned around, nodded firmly at Shao Yun, and responded: "Yes, we succeeded."

After getting the exact answer, Shao Yun's tense heart finally relaxed a little, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

However, before this joy could fully take over my heart, new problems arose.

"In that case, the next thing we have to deal with is the energy problem of the 'Loom of Destiny'. How do we solve this problem?"

Obviously, Shao Yun is very concerned about this key link.

Kong had anticipated this and gave himself a shot of prevention in advance. He didn't say anything and quickly waved his hand to dissuade him, "Well, you really don't have to worry about this!"

"You have given me more than enough help. Let us professionals handle the rest."

Hearing his elder brother-in-law’s earnest advice to him, Shao Yun thought that every failure is a learning experience, so he readily agreed to come.

"Okay, then I won't ask about it anymore."

Although I no longer had to worry about energy matters, soon another difficult problem emerged.

"But then there's the issue of the Grass God." Shao Yun sighed worriedly.

How to convince Nashida to let her brother-in-law use the World Tree is a problem...

Upon hearing the news that the Grass God was still alive, Kong couldn't help but show a little surprise.

"You didn't kill her? This is really beyond my expectation."

In response to Kong's question, Shao Yun calmly gave one of the reasons why he did not kill Nashida.

Shao Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I can kill her, but who will be in charge of Xumi? If there is no god in charge of Xumi and there is a power vacuum, what do you think will happen?"

"So, keeping Nashida is still useful."

After listening to Shao Yun's words, Kong nodded thoughtfully and said in agreement: "Well, what you said makes sense..."

Then, Shao Yun thought of something and made a suggestion.

"I suggest that you have a good talk with Nashida. Now that your plan has been successfully implemented, since it can change fate, it is much better than the original world tree that only changes people's memories."

"I think she'd be interested."

However, when Kong heard Shao Yun suggest that he should cooperate with the God of Grass, a look of worry instantly appeared on his face.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "But the relationship between the Abyss Cult and the Seven Gods..."

It cannot be said to be good neighborliness, it can only be said to be a war.

Shao Yun saw through Kong's inner concerns at a glance. He patted Kong's shoulder gently and comforted him: "This is just a suggestion from me. The final decision still depends on your own ideas. After all..."

While Shao Yun and Kong were still discussing, Nashida's voice suddenly came from behind them. "I will never allow you to tamper with the World Tree!"

When Shao Yun heard the noise behind him, he turned around abruptly and his eyes were instantly attracted by the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him.

That was Nashida, but she was in a shockingly poor condition.

Nashida's originally clear and bright eyes were now bloodshot and turned red.

There was a slight trace of blood on her lips; her face looked haggard, as if a gust of wind would blow her small body to the ground.

In order to arrive in time to stop the Abyss Cult led by Shao Yun, Nashida paid a huge price regardless of everything.

She smashed the meditation device that trapped her with her bare hands! This caused severe damage to her already delicate hands.

There were multiple fractures, the fingers were twisted and deformed beyond recognition, the entire palm was a bloody mess, blood kept dripping from the wounds, dripping onto the roots of the World Tree, leaving streaks of red blood.

Seeing Nashida in such a miserable state, Shao Yun couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked in surprise: "Wow, Nashida! How...how did you get out?"

Nashida struggled to raise her broken and bloody hands and gestured to Shao Yun.

At the same time, she explained loudly with all her might: "I... I just smashed it open with my own hands! Fortunately, I have those potions you left for me, so I can still hold on until now."

After hearing this, Shao Yun showed a nonchalant expression on his face and said casually: "Oh, so that's how it is. You're welcome."

His irrelevant response formed a sharp contrast with the serious and tense atmosphere of Nashida at the moment.

However, Nashida obviously didn't want to argue with him about this.

Although she was petite and looked like a cute loli, she burst out with astonishing hatred and power at this moment.

She glared at Shao Yun and the Abyss Cult monsters around him, gritting her teeth and cursing, "Go to hell! You bastards! Whether it's you or the monsters from the Abyss Cult, all of you, go to hell!"

Although Nashida and Shao Yun were already in a tense situation where they were incompatible and could not stop until one side was dead.

However, as the old saying goes, when a person is in a weak position, even the threats made to others will seem so cute and powerless.

Shao Yun obviously did not take Nashida's hostility to heart, and even began to complacently show off to her the amazing achievements he and the Abyss Cult led by his elder brother-in-law had made.

"You don't know what we just accomplished with the World Tree! We rewrote the history of destiny!"

Then, he continued, "Now that things have come to this, you might as well consider cooperating with my eldest brother-in-law. You provide the World Tree, and my eldest brother-in-law provides his tools."

Hearing this, Nashida couldn't help but smile miserably, and that smile was filled with endless sadness and despair.

Then, she suddenly raised her voice and questioned Shao Yun at the top of her lungs, "Cooperation? Cooperation with the Abyss Cult? Are you crazy?"

"Your sinister and cunning plots will only bring destruction to Teyvat. Don't even think about tempting me!"

Faced with Nashida's intense reaction, Shao Yun did not care, and still persuaded her in a gentle tone: "Don't be so excited, it's just because you didn't see what we just accomplished with the help of the World Tree.

"We truly changed our destiny! Are you sure you don't want to know?"

However, at this moment, Nashida's eyes were wide open, with scarlet bloodshot all over her eyes, giving people a feeling that tears and blood would flow out in the next moment.

She screamed at the top of her lungs, "You tried to kill me just now, and now you're using the World Tree to rewrite Teyvat's memory."

"If I really collude with you, then wouldn't the entire Teyvat fall into chaos and disorder?"

Then, Nashida seemed to have activated an invisible seal of thought.

Then, she said in a commanding tone: "Immediately restore everything you have tampered with with the help of the World Tree to its original state!"

However, Nashida knew nothing about the unimaginable power of the loom of fate.

The functions it can achieve go far beyond simple modification of memory in the ordinary sense.

Originally, Shao Yun was thinking about explaining the reasons and interests involved to Nashida.

But just as he heard Nashida's serious and uncompromising command.

In an instant, Shao Yun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Haha...what? When someone else says this, it sounds very serious."

"But coming from a diaper elf like you, it's even funnier than claiming that the world is fair and just!"

Shao Yun laughed so hard that he fell backwards. He heard the funniest and most ridiculous joke in the world.

"This is so funny! You, you really think you are such an upright person?"

Shao Yun laughed wantonly and looked Nashida up and down with a mocking look.

Hearing Shao Yun's ridicule, Nashida was completely confused and had no idea why the other party reacted like that.

But she did not retreat or waver because of this. Instead, she was more determined and shouted out loudly those great principles that were extremely correct in her mind.

"Don't you think that playing with other people's memories is extremely bad and unforgivable?"

"No matter who it is, including you, or even myself, no one is qualified to use the World Tree without permission!"

Nashida rebuked righteously.

However, as soon as Nashida finished speaking, the arrogant smile on Shao Yun's face gradually faded.

Instead, there was a chilling look of indifference.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Nashida, and asked coldly: "Then, what if it was the Fatui Executor Skirmisher?"

When Nashida heard Shao Yun talking about the Fatui executive, she was stunned.

"What? How did it involve the Fatui who died in your hands?"

Shao Yun curled his lips in disapproval, and a conspiracy theory emerged.

"Let's make a bold assumption. If I hadn't killed Sanbing and there hadn't been a deal between you and me, what would you have done with him? Kill him? Or send him back to Inazuma?"

Upon hearing this, Nashida was stunned...

Shao Yun paused for a moment, observing Nashida's reaction, and then continued, "In my opinion, with your personality and methods, you are very likely to choose to subdue her."

"Then you will pretend to make a mistake, let him use the World Tree, open a backdoor for him, and let him tamper with everyone's memories at will... Finally, you will accept him as your subordinate, because you don't have a suitable dependent in Xumi!"

At this point, Shao Yun couldn't help but emphasize his tone, and he was convinced of his own inference.

"Sanbing, the god of righteousness, was created using the dreams of the people of Xumi. A guy who is just one step away from becoming a god must have some abilities."

"Now, it's hard for you to control the Abyss Cult, me, and Ying. There's no way to control them! But the stragglers I burned to death are definitely easy for you to control."

Nashida frowned, tilted her head slightly, raised her voice, and demanded, "What kind of conspiracy theory are you talking about! Hypotheses are nonsense!"

Shao Yun proudly brought up a so-called authority figure to support his story about another timeline.

"When I ascended to heaven, Istaru told me that if the skirmisher survived, this is what you would do to him."

"From what I understand, this is how the world works. The one with the bigger fist is right. There is no need for any high-sounding excuses. In front of me, no one needs to hide their feelings."

At this time, Nashida endured the excruciating pain from the fracture of both hands and shouted at Shao Yun: "You are just talking nonsense! You are talking nonsense!"

As she spoke, she prepared to mobilize her own authority as the God of Grass, using the authority to create an illusory dream, trapping Shao Yun and the Abyss Cult inside.

However, just as she began to gather the power of the gods, a fishy and sweet taste surged up her throat, followed by a large mouthful of blood gushing out.

Narcida fell down again.

It was obvious that the power of the abyss was still rampaging in her body, causing her great torture and misery.

Looking at Nashida's miserable appearance as she fell to the ground again, Shao Yun slowly continued to extend his "olive branch".

"Narcida, I'll give you one last chance! Let's sit down and talk it out calmly. It's just me, you, and my brother-in-law."

At this moment, Kong, who had been observing the development of the situation, suddenly interrupted and asked, "Brother-in-law, have you really met the ruler of time, Istar?"

Hearing Kong's abrupt question, Shao Yun immediately lowered his voice and said seriously, "Don't talk too much!"

I don’t know whether Shao Yun really framed Nashida in the current timeline, or accidentally touched upon the secret deep in her heart?

Nashida bit her lips tightly, enduring the severe pain and weakness in her body, and supported her body with difficulty. Then she took a deep breath and gathered all her strength into this moment.

Then, she held her breath and rushed towards Shao Yun desperately, wanting to push the man in front of her off the World Tree and let him fall into the earth energy flow below.

Seeing Nashida attacking him with the most primitive collision, Shao Yun's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a cold and contemptuous smile.

In response to Nashida's clumsy and unskillful charging attack, he didn't even move an inch. He simply stretched out a hand and easily blocked Nashida.

Then he pushed gently. In an instant, Nashida felt an irresistible force coming, and she immediately lost her balance and stepped back involuntarily.

In fact, Shao Yun did not use much strength in that push just now, but he obviously underestimated Nashida's fragile physical condition.

As Nashida continued to retreat, each step seemed to be staggering.

Finally, after taking several steps back, her right foot missed the mark and she was about to fall from the thick roots of the World Tree.

Shao Yun didn't really want to kill Nashida, so he flew forward instinctively.

He reached out and grasped Nashida's slender arm tightly.

"Sorry, I used too much strength just now. Don't be afraid, I will pull you up right away, and we need to have a good talk." Shao Yun said anxiously while gasping for breath due to fright.

Nashida looked down at the bottomless roots of the World Tree below, and the intricate flow of earth energy that surged like a torrent.

Then she raised her head, her eyes wide open, and cursed at Shao Yun.

"You shameless scumbag!"

However, Shao Yun tried to keep himself calm and responded as calmly as possible: "Don't get excited yet, listen to me, we really need to sit down and talk! I'll pull you up right away."

After saying that, he gritted his teeth and pulled Nashida up.

Just when Shao Yun was about to pull Nashida back to a safe area, Nashida raised her fist without hesitation and hit Shao Yun's nose hard.

There was a muffled "bang" sound, and Shao Yun suddenly felt stars in front of his eyes.

In an instant, blood gushed out of the nose.

That scene was comparable to Lu Zhijie punching Zhen Guanxi and Mike headbutting Franklin.

It was like an overturned sauce shop, with all kinds of flavors intertwined together - salty, sour, spicy... all coming out at once.

Shao Yun had never expected that she would suddenly throw such a fierce punch. Caught off guard, he subconsciously let go of the hand that was tightly holding Nashida.

Nashida's body fell straight down and soon disappeared without a trace from Shao Yun's sight.
