The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 254: New Soul

Chen Tianfeng spread his hands and looked at Ying: "This is why I asked you how many times a person has to experience death."

"Ah? I thought you were talking about some philosophical question..."

Ying's expression looked a little confused.

You are so naive. How could I possibly discuss philosophical issues with you? That would be so unreasonable... Chen Tianfeng glanced at her, thought about it, and did not say what was in his heart.

I forgot who or which group once said that a person will experience three deaths in his life.

The first is death in the conventional sense, that is, the death of the body and soul; the second is the death of social relations, all the people who remember you have either forgotten you or experienced the first kind of death; the last time is that all records of you in the world disappear.

But when social death occurs, a person can experience more than just three deaths—usually they die several times, one every time they think about it.

"So this tells us a truth and is also a lesson."

Chen Tianfeng folded his arms, his expression indifferent: "Don't say your last words too early. It would be embarrassing if you don't die."

Especially when you plan to die in front of him.

"I see……"

Hua Sanli lowered her head and sighed softly. Her lips moved, and she muttered something in her heart. Then she raised her head and looked at Chen Tianfeng with her big eyes, pleading: "So... Lord Tianfeng, can you give me the video, or destroy it directly?"

"Of course...no." Chen Tianfeng smiled.

Hua Sanli: “Woo…”

Ying looked at Hua Sanli who was sobbing, then looked at Chen Tianfeng, with confusion in his eyes: "So, what happened?"

Things were moving so fast that she didn't quite understand them for a moment. After her tension was soothed, her expectations were met, and the sudden surprise in her heart subsided, doubts arose.

The most important reason why Hanasari chose death so persistently was that she wanted to protect Inazuma and the sacred cherry tree, and for this purpose she performed the sacred cherry purification ceremony to remove all filth - but she was the filth in the earth veins that eroded the sacred cherry tree.

So, even if Chen Tianfeng used some method that she didn't understand to resurrect Hua Sanli, what would be the use?

If we don't change Hanasara's ideas and let her let go of her obsession, will this stubborn person who has her mind full of thoughts about exorcising filth still choose to face death?
So people with too stubborn personalities and tempers are really hard to get along with... Ying muttered in his heart, his brows suddenly frowned, always feeling that something was not right.

"I witnessed her death and gave her new life."

Chen Tianfeng explained simply: "You can regard it as my authority. Any death that I witness will be under my control."

The crystal he gave Hanasari contained a trace of his power, and when Hanasari activated the crystal, the power surged out, devouring and destroying Hanasari - there was no more accurate witness than him killing her with his own hands.

When the testimony is completed, resurrection will be a natural outcome.

However, the ley lines of Teyvat are indeed magical... Chen Tianfeng stroked his chin, looked at Hua Sanli, and smiled meaningfully: "Ying, have you noticed what Hua Sanli's essence is now?"

Nature?

Ying was slightly stunned, looking at Hua Sanli, her purple eyes slightly bright, and she looked at Hua Sanli carefully from head to toe.

Hanasari twisted her body uncomfortably, feeling inexplicably strange, as if Ying had seen her naked.

Ying's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, his gaze quickly turned to Chen Tianfeng, his face twitched immediately, and he quickly closed his eyes, turning off the special perspective of the gods before opening them again.

Only after seeing Chen Tianfeng in his eyes turned back into a mortal man did Ying breathe a sigh of relief. His lips moved. For a moment, he had too many things to say, but he didn't know what to say. Finally, he stared into Chen Tianfeng's eyes and uttered only two words: "Soul!" It turned out that the essence of Hua Sanli was no longer the incarnation of filth, but the soul!

New soul!
How is this done? !

Hanasakuri, who was feeling her new body nearby, also cast a curious look.

"To be honest, I don't know."

Chen Tianfeng shook his head and said, "But I think it has something to do with the earth veins."

"Leyline?"

Ying and Hua Sanli didn't understand why the rebirth of the soul was related to the earth veins, so they waited tacitly for Chen Tianfeng's subsequent explanation.

"I have a rough guess, but it's just a guess and may not be correct."

Chen Tianfeng considered his words carefully and said, "Hua Sanli was born in the earth veins. It is composed of earth vein filth and memories... No, to be precise, it is composed of earth vein energy and memories - after all, filth is also a kind of energy."

"I consumed the filth, witnessed her death, and reversed the process."

"But resurrection doesn't happen out of thin air. Reversal also requires energy. If I provide this energy myself, then the reversal will really be just a reversal. Hanasari will be resurrected, but the resurrected Hanasari is no different from the original one. They are both contaminated by the earth veins. I think none of you want to see this."

Ying and Hanasari nodded at the same time.

For Hanasari, a complete reversal is meaningless. As long as she is still polluted by the earth veins, she will inevitably go down the dead end of self-purification.

"If it's other beings, I can choose a certain moment in their lives as an anchor point, allowing them to be resurrected at this moment with complete memories and past bodies."

"But Hua Sanli has been the embodiment of filth since her birth, so this method obviously won't work. So, I took a shortcut." Chen Tianfeng smiled and pointed his finger down at the ground: "I extracted clean earth vein energy to provide energy for Hua Sanli's resurrection."

He originally thought that if Hanasari was resurrected in this way, then from now on she would no longer be the [Incarnation of the Filthy Earth Veins], but the [Incarnation of the Earth Veins], and she would not have to keep thinking about "I killed myself".

But who would have thought that the resurrected Hua Sanli was not the incarnation of the earth vein, but a soul, or a ghost.

"Earth vein energy?" Ying frowned slightly: "But isn't the earth vein memory?"

"No, the leylines carry memories, but the leylines are not memories."

Hua Sanli shook her head and said, "The earth veins are very magical. Even though I was born from the earth veins and lived in the earth veins for a long time, I only have a partial understanding of the earth veins."

"Yeah, the ley lines are amazing. If only there was a way for me to [see] the ley lines with my own eyes."

Chen Tianfeng also felt emotional and a little regretful.

Ying thought for a moment and asked doubtfully: "Tian Feng, can't you devour the earth veins?"

Chen Tianfeng's status is obviously much higher than the Teyvat's earth veins. Could it be that he is also unable to observe the earth veins and see the truth?

"You can still eat, but can you cook?"

Chen Tianfeng immediately rolled his eyes.

Compared to observation and analysis, swallowing is a simple matter. Moreover, he currently lacks an opportunity to establish a connection with the earth veins. Apart from crude extraction, utilization and swallowing, he can do nothing else.
