Genshin Impact: I will turn into a breeze and continue to blow over Mondstadt

"Hey! Wendy, Decarabian!" After seeing her two best friends, Gui Zhong's heart was filled with joy, and this joy seemed to overflow from her beautiful face.

"Well, Guizhong, Marcosius, Morax, it's been a long time since we last met." Qianyu said to the three of them with a smile, while Wendy, who was standing next to him, waved her arms excitedly to greet them.

"Long time no see, old friend." Morax stared at Qianyu and Wendy in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh. Time flies, and the past events keep flashing in his mind like a movie.

"Dear winners, please allow me to introduce myself first." Seeing that everyone had arrived, Istaru elegantly took off the white hat on her head, and her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall. Her beautiful face appeared in front of everyone, exuding charming charm.

"I am the ruler of time and one of the four shadows of the mortal world. However, if you think this name is too formal, you can also call me Istaru." Her voice is clear and pleasant, like the sound of nature, intoxicating.

Then, Istaru slightly turned sideways and reached out to pat the woman in black beside him. The woman was tall and stern, giving people a mysterious and majestic feeling.

"This is the Ruler of Space, who is one of the Four Shadows of the Earthly World like me. You can call her Asmodeus." Istaru introduced her to everyone with a smile. Asmodeus nodded slightly in response, but her eyes were still as cold as ice, making people dare not look directly at her.

Everyone listened intently to every word Istaru said, and the entire space seemed to freeze.

"First of all, I must congratulate you for being able to stand out from such a fierce and cruel competition and become the surviving demon." Istaru's voice was calm and gentle, but the power contained in it could not be ignored.

However, in response to her praise, the people present did not show any joy on their faces, because only they themselves knew how heavy a price they, their people, and even the lives of all the people in the world had paid to win this war.

At this time, Qianyu stared at Morax with his deep eyes, and slowly asked: "Morax, what do you think this war between demons is for..." This question has actually been lingering in his mind, and at this moment he finally couldn't help but say it out loud.

He had asked himself this question before.

As soon as the voice fell, everyone turned their eyes to Qianyu, and it was obvious that this question also aroused their strong interest. But of course, they didn't know the answer...

Morax silently looked up at the illusory clouds in the distance. At that moment, he seemed to see through the clouds the vast number of living beings ravaged by war.

"Although I have no intention of competing, I know the suffering of the people..."

His voice was low and firm, carrying a heavy sense of responsibility.

"Let me tell you the truth." Istaru whispered softly, her voice was like the sound of nature, melodious and intoxicating. Then, she waved her jade hand lightly, a soft light flashed, and a flawless white cloud like a fairy slowly floated towards everyone.

Everyone stared at this magical cloud with wide eyes, amazed. It seemed to have life, floating freely in the air. Suddenly, the cloud began to change shape rapidly, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a towering tree with lush branches and leaves!

This huge tree is so huge, its roots go deep into the ground, and its crown reaches up to the sky, giving people an incomparable sense of shock. Istaru smiled and explained: "Now, this big tree symbolizes our continent of Teyvat, and those lush leaves represent the countless creatures living on this continent."

At this moment, a miracle happened again. The originally bare branches suddenly bore crystal clear fruits that exuded an alluring aroma. They were as dazzling as gems, attracting everyone's attention.

Istaru continued, "When a tree grows to a certain stage, it will naturally bear flowers and fruits. And you demon gods, just like these fruits, are treasures nurtured by the continent of Teyvat. However, as time goes by, more and more fruits mature one after another, and the nutrients contained in the giant tree become increasingly thin, and eventually it is difficult to sustain the survival needs of all the fruits."

She paused, looking into the distance with a solemn expression, as if she saw the future through endless time and space. "And the end of this tree is that the leaves wither and fall, and the fruits that once hung on the branches can only rot in the wind..."

"In other words, our existence will affect the operation of this world?" Upon hearing this, the Great Compassion Tree King Buyer asked in disbelief.

Istaru did not deny it and nodded slightly.

"Indeed, you are born with a power different from other creatures in the world, and this power comes from the power of the earth veins of the entire Teyvat, the nutrients of this [Giant Tree]. Of course, you are not aware of this."

"But to our surprise, the birth of demons became more frequent hundreds of years ago, which also caused the entire Teyvat's venation system to become chaotic. Therefore, only by launching a demon war can the world's decline be alleviated..."

After hearing this, everyone fell silent again, with a look of confusion on their faces.

"As you can see, the other two rulers besides me and Asmodeus, the rulers who control the power of life and death, are now busy regulating the power of the earth veins." Istaru said slowly.

Qianyu keenly grasped the crux of the problem. He frowned and asked anxiously, "Is it just slowing down the speed of withering?"

"That's right." Istaru nodded to show her affirmation, and then said, "Remember the analogy I made earlier?"

Qianyu recalled what Istaru had said before, and felt thoughtful.

Istaru continued to explain: "This world is like a huge tree, and nutrients are only one of the necessary conditions to support its survival. In addition, it may be attacked by pests and infected with various diseases..."

"And these are exactly the factors that threaten the peace of the continent of Teyvat. They are also a mysterious force originating from outside the world - the abyss." At this point, Istar's tone became solemn.

“But among you, there should be a few who have dealt with the abyss, right?” Istaru glanced sharply at everyone present and said in a questioning tone.

Everyone looked at each other in silence for a moment.

Finally, Qianyu broke the deadlock. He slowly raised his head and said firmly, "Yes, I have fought against the abyss together with Barbatos, Morax, Hagentus and Marcosius."

As soon as the words fell, the originally quiet scene suddenly exploded. Everyone whispered to each other, expressing disbelief at what Qianyu said.

Asmodeus, who had been standing silently by the side, could not help but cast his gaze towards Qianyu. She carefully examined the young demon in front of her.

Indeed, she felt the powerful aura of wind element in the other person's body, but what surprised her was that there seemed to be a kind of power left in Qianyu's body.

A power that was not his own.
