Genshin Impact: Pool Character, Nirvana of the Demon God

[Is Zhongli looking at the Chengxiao Sword? ]

[Probably, apart from his sword skills, the only thing that could reach the level of a god was the Chengxiao Sword.]

[Will the combat power be somewhat weakened? After all, the Chengxiao Sword is set to be a human-made creation. ]

[A creation made by mortals? If you don’t like the Chengxiao Sword, you can take a look at the Ziwei Star Palace in Guili Collection. ]

[According to the plot, the Chengxiao Sword is no longer a mortal creation. How could a mortal creation not only be used by certain people but also be able to speak?]

"I hope the horn of this sky lantern can be made bigger. This horn is what Yixiao Daotian cares about the most." A Ping sighed as she looked at the Mingxiao Lantern behind her.

"Please don't worry about this, Aping. Third brother has asked Ziweixing to tell Qixing to work hard on Xiaodeng." Jun Moli signaled Aping not to worry.

Paimon was still thinking about Yixiaodao Tianzhenjun: "One of the hardest things... Isn't that one of Liyue's strongest weapons?"

"With a pair of horns like this, would they still sacrifice themselves?"

Zhongli sighed, "That's true. If Yixiao Daotian Zhenjun's horn was still there, at least he would be able to protect himself without any worries."

"However, during that war, Tianheng Mountain collapsed. In order to protect the residents at the foot of the mountain, Yixiaodao Tianzhenjun used the weapon given by the Marshal to cut off his own horns to support Tianheng Mountain."

(I'll make some changes here. After all, in this book, Yi Xiao Dao Tian follows Jun Bai.)

"With his two horns cut off, Master Yi Xiao Dao Tian was seriously injured. But even though he was seriously injured, he still chose to fight the enemy to the last moment."

[Oh my god, another real man is born. ]

[He is a fairy deer, right? A deer that cut off its own antlers with its own hands! ]

[This is really cruel to yourself. ]

Ah Ping smiled helplessly, then shook her head: "Otherwise, he and Tian Feng can be close friends regardless of age."

"The choices these two made are exactly the same."

After hearing this, Ying and Paimon remembered that the Guili Collection could continue to this day because Jun Bai died together with the Dream Demon 3000 years ago.

Jun Bai is still here because he can be reborn through Nirvana.

But if not, Jun Bai's fate would probably be the same as Yi Xiao Dao Tian Zhen Jun.

In this respect, the two men are indeed exactly alike.

"He and the Marshal are both respectable heroes of Liyue." Jun Moli said as he looked at the Mingxiao Lantern in the shape of Yixiao Daotian Zhenjun.

“If it weren’t for them, Liyue might not be what it is today.”

Zhongli and Aping nodded.

[I don’t know how you feel about this plot, but I empathize with it. Salute to the hero! ]

[Empathy +1, to the cutest person! ]

[Empathy +2, whether you survive or not, you are all heroes! You are all worthy of respect. ]

Zhongli looked at the Mingxiao Lantern, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

The Demon War was terrifying even when I recalled it, wondering if my friends would be sacrificed the next time the enemy attacked.

At that time, Morax was not afraid of any enemy, but he was afraid of the sacrifice of his old friend who had entrusted his life to him.

Therefore, when he first set out on the expedition, Morax's methods could be considered mild.

His thoughts at that time were somewhat similar to Heulia's.

It was the sacrifice of Phemix that brought Morax to his senses.

When Phoemix blurred from sight, Morax realized that this was a war, a war that could only have one winner.

If he wants to avoid further sacrifices, he has to win the Demon War and completely bring Liyue under his rule.

Therefore, Liyue became the graveyard of demons.

During the war, Guizhong often thought of Phemix. She often said that if she had stayed in Guiliji, the ending would have been different.

When Danmorax seriously thought about this possibility in his spare time, he found that if Guizhong stayed in Guiliji, there would be no possibility of him dying together with the Dream God.

In that case, Gui will eventually fall and Guiliji will be destroyed.

This situation seems to be worse than if Phoemix were to sacrifice himself alone.

It is really as Phemix himself said, it is better for Him to die alone than to be born in a worse situation.

Fortunately, Phemix really came back as He said, although not in the promised peaceful and prosperous era.

It was also because of Phemix's return that Morax understood that no matter what the reasons were or what the results were, sacrifice was always sacrifice.

Sacrifice always means loss.

What Morax and Hagentus lost was Phoemix, who was able to achieve nirvana and be reborn, so they were able to recover it.

How would the person who cannot recover what he has lost feel?

So at the Immortal Summoning Ceremony long ago, when someone mentioned whether the Sea Lantern Festival in Liyue Harbor should be like the Guiliji Festival to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, Morax gave the Sea Lantern Festival a new definition.

Liyue Harbor needs to remember the sacrifices made by the dead.

That’s why the Lantern Festivals in Liyue Harbor and Guiliji are different, and that’s why there are the Mingxiao Lanterns parked at the port of Liyue Harbor.

The Guiliji of human rule is the "root" and is people-oriented. The people there will always remember the people they have lost, because that is the "soil".

But the divinely ruled Liyue Harbor is the "leaf" that puts God first, and if it loses the connection with the "branch" of God, it will fall to the ground.

Because they don't want to land, the people of Liyue Harbor will constantly try to deepen their connection with the gods, and in the end they will only remember the gods' gifts to Liyue Harbor.

But it shouldn't be like this, which is why Morax asks the people of Liyue Harbor to think about the precious things they have lost at this time of year.

(I wrote this down straight away because I was inspired.)

Zhongli gathered his thoughts, still looking at the Mingxiao Lantern, and muttered to himself, "No one will forget it anymore."

"Guest Zhongli, did you speak just now?" Jun Moli, who was sighing, asked in confusion.

"I just felt like saying this." Zhongli calmly avoided the topic, "By the way, do you three know the difference between the Xiao Lantern and the Ming Xiao Lantern?"

"I don't know." Paimon's focus shifted.

"During the Sea Lantern Festival, the small lanterns made by the people of Liyue Harbor are used to express people's wishes and are later released at the Sky Lantern Festival. These are called Sky Lanterns."

“And the one in front of us, which was built by the entire Liyue Harbor and is used to light up the lights of thousands of homes in Liyue Harbor, is the Mingxiao Lantern,” Zhongli explained.

Ah Ping added: "Whether it is the sky lantern or the bright sky lantern, they will be released at the sky lantern festival tomorrow night. They carry people's wishes and fly high in the sky."

"That is a grand performance that can only be enjoyed in Liyue Harbor." Jun Moli looked longingly.

[My second brother’s expression is so cute! ]

[I almost forgot that although my second brother is a heroic spirit from 3000 years ago, his actual age is only 20 years old. ]

[If all the sky lanterns were released together, I could understand my second brother’s expression. It would be spectacular! ]

"Hey, Traveler, Paimeng, are you interested in going to the Xiao Market ahead?" Jun Moli suddenly asked, "That is a market that is not for profit, but only for crowdfunding resources to build the Mingxiao Lantern."

"Market! So there will be some delicious food?" Paimon asked with wide eyes.

"Of course." Jun Moli nodded.

Paimon looked at Ying: "Then don't hesitate, Ying, let's go in quickly!"

Ying looked at Zhongli and Aping: "Zhongli and Aping want to join us?"

Zhongli shook his head: "I still have to take the things that the hall master needs back to the Wangsheng Hall. I'd better save today's invitation for later when I have free time."

[That's because I can't wait for you to have free time, so I run around all day, either telling stories or performing operas.]

[The Chinese translation is, I refuse. I will take the initiative to find you when I need a wallet someday. ]

"I will eventually like this kind of lively occasion, but it is not suitable for me and Xianyun." Ah Ping declined, "I will not disturb you young people, have fun."

"Then we'll go to Xiao City first, see you later!"

Paimeng and Jun Moli ran into Xiao City together.

Ying smiled helplessly, then said goodbye to Zhongli and Aping: "See you later."

"See you later, and don't forget to attend the Xiao Lantern Festival tomorrow night." Zhongli said with a smile.

【Zhongli's beauty critical strike! 】

【This smile, I lie down! 】

The next day, dusk.

The sun continued to sink until it fell below the horizon. Night fell and Liyue Harbor was ablaze with light.

The people carried the lanterns they made and went out of their homes, rushing to the location of the lanterns. Before leaving, they did not forget to turn off the lights in their homes.

Soon, the once brightly lit Liyue Harbor lost all its colors, leaving only darkness like the night sky.

Until the lights of the sky are lit.

When the bright lantern in the image of Yixiao Daotian Zhenjun was lit, the people began to light the lanterns in their hands.

The Lantern Festival has begun.

After the lifelike fairy deer lit up, they began to circle around the entire Liyue Harbor. It was as if Yixiao Daotian Zhenjun had been resurrected, admiring this prosperous city built by the people he risked his life to protect.

When Liyue Harbor was built, the village protected by Master Yixiao Daotian was also involved.

(Second setting.)

Lanterns carrying the people's prayers rise up, lighting up the dark night.

Led by the bright sky lantern, countless sky lanterns cover the entire sky, embellishing a brilliant path of lights to lead the deceased.

If the deceased has lost his way, please look up, the way home is in heaven.

Ying and Paimeng followed the people and cheered as the Mingxiao Lantern circled and rose and fell. Paimeng even asked Ying to take out the camera to commemorate the occasion.

Jun Moli, who had been looking forward to the Sky Lantern Festival since yesterday, personally released the Sky Lantern he made. Who was he thinking of, hiding his worries under his smile?

Hu Tao, Xing Qiu, Xiang Ling, and Chong Yun were looking for the sky lanterns they had made under the night sky.

Ningguang and Keqing stood at the highest point of Yuehai Pavilion, smiled at each other, and then bumped fists with each other. Looking forward to a better year ahead.

Ganyu put down the work in her hands, looked up at the bright lanterns in the sky and clasped her hands together, as if she was praying or mourning.

Zhongli sat in front of the door of the Hall of the Rebirth, drinking tea instead of wine, and remembering his deceased friends.

Mount Ozura.

True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, who had transformed into a human form, quietly looked towards the Liyue Harbor shrouded by the Sky Lanterns.

Tianheng Mountain.

A dark green shadow flashed by, and a monster was beheaded.

Xiao was about to look for other monsters, but under Fushe's guidance, he looked towards Liyue Harbor.

The five Yakshas searched for traces of their comrades on the Mingxiao Lantern.

Purple Star Palace.

Gui finally stood aside in amazement.

Jun Bai looked at Liyue Harbor and smiled faintly.

Yiya was sleeping soundly in his arms.
