Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

"Fault? Breach of promise?" Paimon found some doubts in Yuandai's prayer. "Did you do something wrong or break your promise with someone?"

Is that why he was hunted down?

Yuan Dai didn't remember any of this, she only remembered that it was dawn, the sun came in, and her husband came back to her safely. She held her newborn baby in her arms, and she and her husband cried and laughed at the same time.

Aftermath.

Yuandai touched Shuyu's head. This child was the continuation of her children. They were both her pride.

"Because you are with me, I have the courage to regain my past memories." Yuan Dai thought of the past and felt that her decaying body had new strength. She couldn't wait to regain more. "Where is the next place? Let's go there quickly."

"It's at Qingyun Peak, right?" Xianyun looked at Yuandai with concern, "Can your body handle it?"

"I will try my best not to fall behind." For some reason, Yuan Dai thought of the bird that was always alone.

"Come up," Xianyun squatted down, "I'll carry you over."

After the grandparents thanked him again and again embarrassedly, Yuandai carefully lay on Xianyun's back.

“······It’s so light.” Xianyun sighed and walked forward steadily carrying Yuandai on his back.

"It's like this when people get old, right? They lose their memories, their health, and everything." Yuan Dai is very open-minded. "I just hope I can leave in a sober state. Don't torture myself, don't drag others down..."

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you realize this wish." Xianyun promised.

——*——*——

Birds were circling on the high top of Qingyunding, and the breeze brought the scent that Yuandai missed so much.

Wind, wild grass, and light lake water.

Yuan Dai, who was standing at the top of Qingyun Peak without thinking of anything, stared at the mountain opposite. The lake on the top of the mountain was sparkling with moving waves in the sunlight.

"What is Grandma Yuan Dai looking at?" Paimon followed Yuan Dai's line of sight and said, "Hey! Isn't that Mount Ao Zang?"

We've gone around in circles today and now we're back to the starting point?

"Ao Zang Mountain? Ao Zang Mountain..." Yuan Dai covered her forehead when she heard the name.

"Aozang Mountain, does it feel familiar to you?" Xianyun looked at Yuandai with a distant gaze.

"Yes! But I... I can't go back..." Yuandai felt very painful, but deep in her heart she had a greater desire.

"Let's go to Aozang Mountain." Xianyun helped Yuandai make the decision, and seeing Shuyu's worried expression, he explained, "Don't worry, there will be no problem with me here."

Xianyun turned to Yuandai and said, "I have prepared a treasure in Aozang Mountain in advance. It can suppress the fear in your heart and help you regain your past memories."

Shuyu opened her eyes wide, as if she understood something.

A glow of magic circle appeared under Su's feet, forming a wind field that was strong enough to fly from here to Ao Zang Mountain.

Yuan Dai's current condition was no longer able to withstand such a windy field. Xian Yun carried Yuan Dai on his back again, tapped his feet lightly, and walked ahead gracefully like a crane dancing among the mountains.

Kong carried Paimeng, Su held Shuyu, and the two spread their wings of wind and glided towards Mount Ao Zang.

On the stone table under the tree on Ao Zang Mountain, there was a metal mechanical artifact. It was large and delicate, engraved with flowing cloud patterns. At the top was a crane with its head held high and wings spread.

"Isn't this the mechanism you were fiddling with when we came to find you?" Paimon recognized it now. "Is it your new invention?"

"That's right. This is my most recent masterpiece, called 'Good Dreams and Images'."

"Combined with Ah Ping's wonderful music, this mechanism can make worried people stop being anxious, let tired people embrace good dreams, and help people who have lost their memory find themselves again."

"Why didn't you use such a good thing earlier?" Paimeng was unhappy. They had been running around for most of the day to help Grandma Yuandai find her memory. "If we had used this directly at the beginning, maybe we would have been able to do it earlier."

Xianyun: "What are you thinking about? It is precisely because Yuandai remembered many past events that the Good Dreams and Shadows Divine Machine can help her fill in the last link."

She was completely sure of Yuandai's true thoughts, so she thought about helping her regain her memory.

Xianyun put the jade and silk he got from Grandma Ping into the mechanism, and the soothing spiritual wind and wonderful music gently opened it. The traveler team and Shuyu all felt relaxed, and Yuandai sank deeper into distant thoughts.

In her memories, Yuan Dai saw her young husband asking her with concern why she was always so worried. Her younger self shed tears and said, "The medicine is about to take effect."

She also saw her young son, who was in poor health, trying hard to take care of her when she was suffering from amnesia, and she saw her aging husband say, "I have never regretted meeting you."

Finally, it was that dream where the young girl stood in front of her, allowing her to find her "real self".

Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten? I used to eat dew and take the world as my home... a free wild crane.

“So that’s how it is… So that’s how it is!” Yuan Dai tried to see the familiar scenery of Ao Zang Mountain through her tearful eyes, and the old person in front of her who should be familiar to her, “Liu Yun… Immortal Lord.”

Yuan Dai held the Immortal Lord's hand and wanted to kneel down. She felt ashamed of the Immortal Lord's teachings and guidance, and she had committed an irreparable mistake.

Without waiting for her to kneel down, Xianyun gently but unyieldingly lifted her up and helped her sit down on the stone bench. Shuyu was also anxiously comforting her crying grandmother.

"Don't worry, kid. Grandma is fine. She's just thinking about the past." After Yuandai calmed down, she decided not to escape anymore. She told her story.

"The one who kept asking me to find someone in my dreams was actually myself. The most important memory I lost was actually my 'original appearance'."

The original Yuan Dai was a wild crane that lived in the Ao Zang Mountain a hundred years ago. It ate the wind and drank the dew and flew freely day after day, and suddenly one day it developed intelligence.

The owner of this place, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, discovered this special crane, told her many stories, and taught her the secret method of cultivation. Although Yuandai did not say it, she always regarded the immortal as her master in her heart.

Fifty years passed like this, and one day, Yuandai heard that a severe drought had occurred at the foot of the mountain.

Yuan Dai knew that Immortal Lord Liuyun had once summoned the wind and rain to eliminate the drought and save the people during a bigger drought in the past. She had always respected and worshipped the Immortal Lord, so she decided to go down the mountain and travel around the world like the Immortal Lord.

But Yuan Dai is not a true immortal. She has only practiced for fifty years and cannot even transform. After the Immortal King knew her determination, he specially developed a transformation medicine for her.

The Immortal King told Yuan Dai that the effect of the medicine could only last for ten years. If she did not turn back into a wild crane after ten years, she would even forget herself and become a being that was neither an animal, nor an immortal, nor a human.

Ten years, such a long time, is enough for her to go down the mountain.

Yuan Dai took the transforming potion, turned into a human woman and went down the mountain to carry out the justice in her heart.

Then she met that person, the one she hesitated and struggled with for a long time but still liked so much that she didn't want to be separated from.
