Genshin Impact: Without the Eye of God, the Original Man Witnesses the Original

Hearing Jiang Yi's voice, Ying and Paimeng fell into thought at the same time.

Scenes and words emerged in Ying's mind.

"The wooden reed flute will disappear. People will ignore us. Or rather, we will not be able to communicate..."

"Heguan has been destroyed..."

"The ground veins are abnormal..."

"So the conclusion is that they are not ghosts, and everything here is an illusion?"

Jiang Yi held out his hand: "If the correct answer is ten, I'll give you nine point nine points."

It’s not accurate to say it’s a ghost, but to say it’s a complete phantom is also a bit biased!

"Continue!" he said, "Next conclusion."

Ying temporarily put aside her doubts about why the first answer was only 9.9 points.

"In the mist-shrouded Crane View, only Aru can communicate. Aru is the key to the entire earth vein anomaly!"

"Aru's sense of time seems to be different from ours!"

"He seems to have been at the festival all day."

"There is no sun, moon or stars here, and the flow of time in Heguan is also different from that outside."

Paimon scratched his head and looked at the wise Ying. It turned out that it would be better for him to be a waste and not use his brain.

Jiang Yi nodded: "Anything else?"

Ying thinks: "The destroyed Tsuruga is constantly replaying the scene of the festival. It's like a replay of a movie. The people of Tsuruga can't perceive us, except for Aru."

"As an exception, Aru is the descendant of the Tsurukan priest and the protagonist of this festival."

"As the protagonist, according to what the previous phantom said, he will be dedicated to the Thunderbird Kapachiri."

"Dedicated to means..."

"The phantom who was about to take Aru away seemed very dissatisfied with the festival and said that Thunderbird might not like it..."

"Aru refused to leave and volunteered to stay."

"She said she wanted to sing for Kapachili and that she was Kapachili's good friend."

"There is no doubt that the Aru we saw was dead. The reason for Aru's death is that her ghost remained in the same appearance as at her last moment of life."

"So Aru didn't grow up in history."

"Could it be... that Aru died in this festival?" Ying's eyes widened, and she suddenly understood the meaning of "offer to", "offer to, it means sacrifice!"

"Sacrifice!" Paimon leaned forward, his eyes also widened.

"That sacrifice is..." She felt a little uneasy.

"Probably the sacrifice..." Ying's eyes closed slightly, "that ancient, bloody sacrifice."

"Jiang Yi, is this true?" Paimon's voice was trembling with fear, terror, anger, and sadness for Aru.

Jiang Yi didn't say anything, but he undoubtedly agreed.

"Then how was Heguan destroyed?" he asked the last question.

"Aru thinks that she and Kapachiri are good friends. There must be a reason for this. Maybe they are really good friends, so Kapachiri only favors Aru."

"But this matter was misunderstood by the ignorant ancient Crane Watchers, who thought that the Thunderbird had chosen Aru as a sacrifice, and therefore hoped that Aru would make a special sacrifice."

"The thunderbird saw the sacrifice and, in anger, destroyed Crane View."

Ying boldly guessed, "So, Aru said that hearing thunder means a year has passed."

Jiang Yi looked at Ying with appreciation: "That's right! What are the conditions for starting the reincarnation cycle?"

"Before you reminded me, I didn't feel that this was reincarnation. However, the conditions for the activation of reincarnation are probably related to the stone gate and thunder that we came in. Now, I need to verify... the reincarnation here, and whether Heguan was really destroyed by Thunderbird." Ying looked into the distance. The last two inferences were made, but the evidence was not enough.

"Then let's go and take a look! The place you chose is..." Jiang Yi opened the map.

"The first habitat we encountered." Ying said.

Depart quickly.

Arriving at the destination, Ying looked forward.

The perch was bare, devoid of the blue leaves from before.

A man and a woman are offering.

"They are Makiri and Ibe Tsurukanto." Paimon remembered the names of these two people. According to Aru, they were lovers.

"...The perch is the key to the festival... This is the tree where Thunderbird-sama once rested."

"..."

“Why am I the only one working?”

Paimon heard the two people talking: "We seem to have heard these words before."

"It's a repetitive phrase." Ying continued to watch, seeing Ibe and Makiri go to offer sacrifices to the perch after talking for a long time without their help.

Blue leaves are growing on the perch again.

"A new cycle has begun." Jiang Yi looked at the quiet and beautiful perch. "The people in the sacrificial field ahead have disappeared twice, so this is the third cycle we have seen since we came to Heguan."

"Since this is an exercise in wisdom, I will not object to any of your decisions. Just do whatever you want!"

I just feel a little sorry for Aru.

Maybe Aru will have to experience reincarnation again.

"A new cycle..." Paimon bit his lip, "The incident at Tsurukan is a recurring phantom, which means that Aru is repeatedly offered to her good friend Kapachiri. This... is too cruel for both Kapachiri and Aru."

"We have to find Aru quickly," she said anxiously.

"Finding A'ru won't ruin the festival." Ying looked calmly at the perch in front of her. Although she didn't know why Jiang Yi set this test, if she didn't do it herself, then she would do her best to break the cycle.

"They said that the perch is the key to the festival. So, we must worship and protect the perch well." The Sword of Advent appeared in her hand. "Then, if the perch is destroyed, will the festival not be able to go on?"

"Yeah! As long as we destroy the perch..." Paimon's eyes lit up.

Jiang Yi did not comment on Ying and Paimeng's choices.

However, Ying's decisiveness made him smile slightly.

Breaking the impasse does not necessarily lead to success, but having ideas to break the impasse is very important.

If the future...

He was thinking silently in his mind, and Ying had already swung the sword.

The wind element passed through the blade, transformed into green sword energy, and slashed on the perch.

The perch was very hard, and the energy inside seemed to have turned into a protective shield.

But under Ying's swift and fierce slashes many times.

Rays of light emanated from inside the perch. They were the power of the thunderbird, transforming into three purple feathers that looked like three bright meteors, spreading out in all directions.

The electric current was surging all around, and one could feel the tingling electric light spreading through one's skin.

The feathery blue leaves on the huge perch had all withered and disappeared, leaving the branches bare once again.

"Crack!"

With a few cracking sounds, a thick tree trunk broke and fell to the ground.

The cracks on the rough bark and roots, which originally glowed with the energy of the lightning element, seemed to have dimmed and gone out, and the entire tree looked as if it had been severely damaged and was about to die.

"Hey? What's going on..." The sudden change of scene shocked the phantom named Mu Li next to him and made him speechless.

"Qimu actually..." This horrifying scene made Ibe next to him look panicked and terrified.

"The scene of reincarnation has changed." Jiang Yi looked at the two "phantoms".

"The power of the Thunderbird in the perch is leaking out, and they're reacting." Paimon was delighted. "Keep up the good work and destroy the other perches."

"It's not just an illusion." Ying seemed to know why Jiang Yi did not give his first conclusion full marks. Is an illusion with a reaction still an illusion?

She rushed to where the other three roosts were.

In the high mountain wilderness of Heguan, brilliant feathers of lightning rose up and destroyed roosts one after another.

When Ying was about to destroy the last one.

Jiang Yi looked at the vast fog and said, "Are you sure? Do you want to continue?"

Ying was stunned for a moment, wondering if her choice was not correct.

She looked at the last unbroken perch.

"Why are you still hesitating now? We've done so much before." Paimon said as a matter of course.

She couldn't think of any other way to stop the festival without destroying the roost.

"Cut!" Ying thought for a moment, then chopped the trunk of the tree with his sword without hesitation.

"Boom!" As lightning appeared, the blue leaves disappeared and the trunk of the tree fell to the ground.

The thick fog around had all dissipated, leaving only the sky and the edge of the island.

"Now, let's go to the sacrificial site..." Ying looked at Jiang Yi embarrassedly, wondering if she was too reckless just now. Jiang Yi seemed to be reminding her of something.

But it's done, there's nothing to regret.

Arrive at the sacrifice site.

She saw Jiang Yi raising his head, and they couldn't help but look up at the sky together.

The sky was gray, but soon turned red, like a blood-red sunset rising from one direction.

"boom!"

What followed was a roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

The shining blood-red lightning connected the sky and the earth, bombarding the mountains and fields, causing the earth to crack and turn into an abyss.

The blood-like color was not the glow of the sunset glow, but the thunder that streaked across the sky.

You can see the color before you hear the sound.

The extremely violent force descended upon us intensively, like an upside-down blood-red forest, crisscrossing between heaven and earth.

The entire Heguan was trembling and shaking before the pressure that destroyed everything.

"Ah! What is this..." Paimon quickly dodged the blood-red lightning that almost fell on the sides of the three people.

This thunder was terrifying, just like facing the Whirlpool Demon God's followers, the attacks of the demon beasts. Ying's face was solemn.

"Jiang Yi, hurry up and do something! If you don't, we will have no choice but to run away." Paimeng covered his head with his hands, showing his cowardice.

"There's no one in this sacrificial venue!" she shouted, her voice almost drowned out by the sound of thunder.

Before my eyes, there are rows of white candles, the sacrificial site is illuminated by warm candlelight, the stone altar is ancient and weathered, and the standing totem poles tell the history of the past.

Empty, deserted.

There was a flash of lightning in Ying's eyes. Thunder struck beside her. She stepped back to avoid it and watched the electric current tear the earth apart.

"Well, it's time to make a choice again, stay here or leave." Jiang Yi calmly stood with his hands behind his back, watching the bloody celestial phenomenon.

In the sky, blood-red thunder stirred the firmament, becoming more and more dense, making the heaven and earth seem to have turned into a blood-red curtain.

Trees were charred, rocks collapsed, and buildings were shattered.

It seemed as if it wanted to destroy all the people, things, and all traces of civilization here.

"If my guess is correct, the thunder destroyed Heguan and started the thunder." Ying's voice was full of doubt. "At this moment, the thunder was caused by the destruction of the perch. The thunder that started Heguan's reincarnation should not have arrived yet."

"And why haven't we seen the thunder that was speculated to start the reincarnation before?"

The bloody thunder was terrifying and began to lock onto them.

But Ying was ready to act willful, and Jiang Yi was right next to her. Since it was a test for herself, gaining wisdom from solving the problem was more important than just solving the problem. Jiang Yi would not be so rigid as to not interfere and protect her.

"I want to stay here and witness the changes in reincarnation..." Ying said to Jiang Yi with a firm look.

"What's happening next... isn't actually suitable for viewing, but since it's your choice..." Jiang Yi's voice was serious and low.

After a few minutes.

"Damn it! The perch is destroyed? Who did it?"

"The festival must continue!"

"Go and bring A-ru to..."

A place name made Ying suddenly rush out, "...get ready."

Amidst the illusory voice, a figure reappeared at the sacrifice site.

Under the bloody thunder, the figures were panicking and fearful, and the noise was noisy.

"Ying!" Paimeng shouted, dodging the bloody thunder and chasing after him with Jiang Yi.
