Genshin Impact: I was robbed at the beginning and I hated being ranked third!

In the vast sea of ​​stars, two figures, one big and one small, are walking among the stars, and each star in this sky is a world.

"Wow! Is this how you travel the world? It's really stunning. And walking among the stars is so romantic just thinking about it! Earlier you told me that you were a traveler around the world. I thought the time spent traveling from one world to another was boring."

Paimon looked at the twinkling stars and couldn't help being attracted by them, even fascinated by them. Ying smiled slightly when she saw Paimon like this. From Paimon's current appearance, she remembered the first time she walked in the galaxy.

"Every world has its own unique charm. My brother and I have been to countless worlds and dealt with countless civilizations. We have witnessed the birth of a world civilization, and we have also witnessed the destruction of a world civilization."

"Paimon, do you know what a world's civilization is?"

Paimon didn't quite understand why Ying suddenly asked her such a profound question, but after thinking about it, she told Ying the answer she had thought of.

"The civilization of a world depends on whether it has thinking. You see, it is precisely because humans have thinking that they have created many languages ​​and characters, and also created many delicacies with the continuous development of technology."

Ying nodded after hearing this, then shook her head.

"It's very different from what I thought. I didn't expect you, Paimon, to say something like that. The civilization of a world does not depend on the race that created it or whether the race is intelligent."

"The civilization of a world has already begun to take shape the moment the world is first formed, and the movies about civilization are nothing more than the speculation of later generations on their predecessors."

“Take the relationship between humans and nature for example. It was only after humans developed thoughts that they called everything they created civilization and distinguished themselves from beasts.”

"But before that, humans were also part of nature. Before humans developed thoughts, their behavior was no different from that of wild animals."

“So the civilization of a world is not a certain species, but nature. When a world is formed, nature must be the first to be nurtured by the world.”

“After nature was nurtured by the world, nature gave birth to all things, which led to the diversity of life. This is the beginning of civilization.”

"My brother and I traveled through countless worlds for so long that we forgot our original worlds and lost the coordinates of our home."

"Until I arrived at Teyvat, it is undoubtedly a beautiful world. Even among the worlds that Duoduo has traveled to in the past, few can be compared with Teyvat."

"It is precisely because this world is so beautiful that we were so anxious to leave. As travelers of this world, we will more or less carry some knowledge from outside the world."

"Kan Ruiya... You should know that Kan Ruiya is actually the product of knowledge from another world, and the one who created all this is my brother."

Hearing this, Paimon opened his mouth wide with a look of horror, while Ying turned around calmly and looked at the little Paimon.

"Thank you for your company for so long. Now that I have completely regarded Teyvat as my home, have you dispelled your concerns?"

"Teyvat is now in a state of crisis, and I want to save it. If you can't trust me anymore, I won't be able to do my best to save this world."

"The premise of cooperation is mutual trust. As the one who created this world, I think you should understand this."

"Although I don't know why you insisted on leaving me and my brother in Teyvat, I can see that you have no ill will towards us, otherwise you wouldn't be willing to become a mascot and follow me around."

"I have heard of your name. Your name is known in many worlds. The original man... Phanes..."

Paimon's panic was suppressed and he looked at Ying with a smile.

"Before we start discussing, I have a question for you. When did you discover it? Ying..."

After thinking for a while, Ying looked at Paimon and said with a smile.

"If I say that I didn't see through your disguise and that what I said just now was just to trick you out, would you believe it?"

Paimon... Phanes smiled, then applauded Ying.

"Well, although I don't know where the flaw in my performance was revealed, congratulations on gaining the recognition of Teyvat."

"I admit that I had my own selfish motives when I asked Asmodeus to capture you two. I originally wanted to use the blessings of the many worlds in you to free Teyvat from the troubles of the abyss."

"However, I didn't expect that by accident, your brother actually came into contact with the abyss and was even bewitched by it."

"It was originally a weapon to fight against the Abyss, but it has become the nourishment that helps the Abyss grow. This is something I didn't expect, but fortunately, you and your brother have the blessings of many worlds."

"And yours seems to be even purer. After combining it with your brother's case, I wondered if you were lacking a guide? And then the image of Paimon was born."

"Forgive my selfishness. The current Teyvat can no longer withstand a second blow. To be honest, I personally don't care about the world of Teyvat, but I don't know why, each of my shadows hopes that she can survive."

"However, they don't know what kind of giant enemy they are facing. Oh, I shouldn't say that. Maybe Istaru has already known something."

Ying was absent-minded for a while, and when Phanes mentioned Istaru, she couldn't help but ask a question.

"I don't know why this name gives me a very familiar feeling. Could it be that I have come into contact with this Istaru before?"

"Although most of my memory has been restored, some parts are still missing due to the passage of time."

Phanes thought of something and said to Ying with a smile.

"If possible, I still hope you can continue to call me Paimon. As for your question, I'm sorry, I can't answer you right now."

"I don't know what kind of far-reaching impact telling you the truth will have on this entire plan. I don't dare to gamble with Teyvat or anyone else."

"But I can still reveal a little bit of information to you. Your guess is correct. Istaru is indeed the person closest to you."

"It's just that for some reason, I can't tell you his name."

Although Paimon didn't say it explicitly, Ying already knew who Paimon was talking about.

After getting her own answer, Ying heaved a sigh of relief.

"One last question. Do you know where he is now? I can go see him. I won't disturb his plans. I just want to see him from a distance."

Paimon shook his head.

"I don't know the exact location of Istaru right now. Moreover, even with my current status, I can't provide you with any effective help. My role is only to serve as a channel for negotiation between you and Sky Island."

"There is a book that records the history of Teyvat. You should know that after the First Advent came, the dragons were defeated, and then the human race and the fairy race were created."

"Humans, as a race created by the First Adventer, are favored by Teyvat. After creating humans, the First Adventer divided himself into four shadows."

"But in fact, I divided my power into five parts. Originally, I divided my authority into five major powers. However, who knew that Istaru only accepted my authority and not my power."

"This is why I survived and became what I am now. However, I don't regret it, because in my eyes, whether it is Tianli, Istaru, or other creatures in Teyvat, they are all my children."

"So I don't want Teyvat to be destroyed by the Abyss. That's why I didn't come out to stop Tianli from using the Crown of Reason to suppress the entire Teyvat. This is why."

"The Abyss is a product brought in by the Second Throne, Liberongen. However, as a traveler in this world, you should know the true nature of the Abyss."

Ying nodded. Among the countless worlds she had traveled to, there were one or two worlds that mentioned the dark world devourer, who specialized in devouring civilized worlds to satisfy his endless hunger.

However, according to the description in the book, the so-called world devourer is the abyss. Countless worlds are just leaves on the world tree. Taking root on the branches, the world tree is formed.

The Abyss is a reptile on the World Tree that survives by eating the leaves of the World Tree. In the eyes of the Abyss, the so-called world is his food and the foundation of his survival.

"But now even I cannot see through the Abyss. The Abyss has obtained Istar's body, and has successively taken over your brother's body. The bodies of Morax and Barbatos are also controlled by the Abyss's clones."

"This is an unsolvable problem for many events. The Abyss was originally stupid and could scare them away in one go when he attacked. But now the Abyss has thoughts and can think."

"If you want to take him down completely, it will take a lot of effort."

Paimon sighed helplessly, then looked up at the bright stars. The starlight was so dazzling.

"It's great, a world that has not been polluted by the abyss."

After hearing Paimon's words, Ying also looked up. What she saw were stars twinkling with silver-white light. Among them, one or two meteors were passing by at an extremely fast speed. It was as if two worlds were competing.

"Indeed, even after countless trips, it is rare to see such a sea of ​​stars. Well, let's end the irrelevant topics here. Next, tell me what you need me to do."

Paimon looked at Ying, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"Ying, traveling with you makes me feel very happy, so whether I do or not do what I say next is entirely up to you. I will respect all your choices."

"You have the blessings of many worlds. You must learn to use them. My brother used the blessings of the worlds in his body to develop the abyss to its current size."

"Although the birth of thoughts and wisdom in the abyss is mostly the work of Istaru, your brother is definitely involved. Istaru, I know him very well. He likes to take control of everything and analyze it with absolute rationality. In the current state, set a good strategic goal."

"However, he would never touch anything that he was not absolutely sure of, and even looking at it made him feel sick."

So since the abyss has given birth to wisdom, it means that there is someone behind it fanning the flames. And do you think, in the entire Teyvat at present, who can do it so blatantly?

Paimon didn't say the name because the answer was obvious.

"But this is not entirely a bad thing. At least after he has wisdom and the ability to think, he will feel other emotions, such as fear."

"Of course, if you want to scare the abyss, you have to completely defeat it. However, from ancient times to the present, the abyss has never been completely defeated, not even the Nibelungen incident."

"Okay, now you have something to do, Ying. I need you to unite the seven nations. You should know that humans can create countless miracles. They are the best at creating miracles among all races."

After all, other races might be implicated during this period, causing this race to be deleted from the history of Teyvat.

Paimon explained the pros and cons of the matter to Ying, but as expected, Ying chose the first option.

"As expected, you won't consider the second option. Since you have already chosen the first option, do your best to save more people."

After Paimon finished speaking, Ying, who was originally strolling among the stars, suddenly returned to Liyue Aozang Mountain.

When I first came here, I found that no one seemed to have been to the entire Ao Zang Mountain for a long time. The stone tables and chairs were covered with fallen leaves.

"What's going on? Isn't Master in Ozang Mountain? If he still loved him, he would never let Ozang Mountain become like this."

Paimon's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad idea. When he closed his eyes to look for relevant clues, the whole story played out in his eyes like a movie.

“The Ruotu Dragon King was controlled by the Abyss. If he was allowed to wreak havoc on Liyue, it would cause great suffering to all the people of Liyue. Therefore, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, True Lord Gechen Langshi, Xueyue, Lishui, Xiao, and Liu Changsheng assassinated the Ruotu Dragon King at the South Heaven Gate.

"Except for Xiao, all other immortals and true masters died in the battle."

"That's why it's so desolate. There's no one here anymore."

Looking at the dilapidated courtyard and the cave that had lost its power and turned into an ordinary cave.

"When he comes back and sees this scene, he will be heartbroken."
