The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 299 True Thunder

"I recognize your will. You are indeed not [worn]."

The puppet general put down his naginata and stopped pointing the blade at the shadow. He thought for a moment and added, "But I still can't be sure that what you did before was really from your heart, and not the devil's bewitching influence."

"Tian Feng didn't bewitched me, and I won't be bewitched."

Ying shook his head and said calmly: "Since you have acknowledged my will, you should understand this."

"nature."

The puppet general nodded.

Ying's will is still strong. Time and wear and tear have not damaged her soul. She is still the Lei Ying in "Xu Chenmin Yimeng".

During these hundreds of years of fighting, the Puppet General was very clear that her will was equal to his own. No, it should be said that compared to his "former shadow", her will was even stronger now - she was indeed growing rather than wearing out, as she said.

And a being with such a will cannot be easily corrupted.

I doubt that a shadow with such a will will be corrupted, and it would seem ridiculous that he carries the will of the [Eternal Law].

The puppet general calmed down a little and said calmly: "I just simply hate it..."

"boom--!"

Before he finished speaking, a loud roar suddenly sounded from the direction of Chen Tianfeng in the distance.

The two gods felt their hearts tighten, but before they could make any move, a very familiar and gentle female voice sounded in their consciousness space.

"Strange god from another world, could you please stop?"

The woman's voice was gentle and even though I had never met her, I could guess that the owner of the voice must be a gentle and beautiful woman.

But at this moment, in addition to the gentleness in the voice, there was also clear confusion and anxiety, as well as a little hidden uneasiness and fear.

It was as if this gentle and beautiful elder sister woke up from a dream. When she opened her eyes, she saw an extremely terrifying gray shadow standing beside the bed, approaching her little by little.

The shadow and the puppet general froze at the same time, their eyes widened, and they obviously recognized the owner of the voice.

Raiden Shin, Inazuma's predecessor as the God of Thunder, is also their sister.

"Ahem...unexpectedly, I haven't done this kind of thing for a long time, so my hands are a little rusty."

Chen Tianfeng's voice sounded, and he seemed a little embarrassed: "But it's okay, it just made a lot of noise... Ahem, it has stopped, please rest assured, I mean no harm."

"..."

The gentle female voice remained silent, as if she didn't know how to respond.

Shadow and the puppet general looked at each other, and even forgot to put away the weapons in their hands. They waved their hands to disperse the thunder and quickly arrived beside Chen Tianfeng.

"You are here."

Chen Tianfeng waved his hand, greeted with a smile, and calmly destroyed the half-blown formation diagram under his feet.

When I was accelerating and tracing back to the source just now, I didn't control the force well, which caused the speed to go out of control when I arrived at this special time point, and I almost couldn't stop.

As a last resort, Chen Tianfeng had to resort to some drastic measures - blowing up the formation.

If this five-hundred-year time trick is regarded as a corridor, then what Raiden really needs to do is to connect the beginning and end of the corridor to form a time loop, thereby determining the history of these five hundred years and realizing Inazuma's plan of "saving the past from the future."

What Chen Tianfeng did was to run the tunnel from beginning to end, reinforce it, and prevent other beings from intervening in this history. And just now... the speed of the car was too strong. If he didn't know the technique of blasting the car to stop, the tunnel would be directly smashed, and the closed loop of time and the qualitative characterization of history would be out of the question.

Chen Tianfeng coughed, and his eyes swept around, finally stopping at the long sword in Ying's hand: "Come out and talk?"

Ying followed his gaze and looked at [Dream One Heart]. A light bulb suddenly lit up in her head and she suddenly understood something. Her voice couldn't help but tremble a little: "Sister...sister?"

"…It's me, Shadow."

The dream suddenly lit up, the light flowed like a thread, and pieces of red cherry blossom petals were born and gathered in the air, and a dreamy purple light ball emerged among the petals.

"Hello, Ying, and strange alien god... Um, I don't know your name yet?"

"Chen Tianfeng, Ying's friend, one of us."

"……what."

Lei Dianzhen's tone was quite hesitant, and he obviously didn't quite believe it.

"It's true, sister."

Ying spoke at the right time, nodded and said, "Tianfeng is me, and I am also Inazuma's friend."

The puppet general retracted the Nagging Inari Light, glanced at Chen Tianfeng and Ying, snorted barely perceptibly, then folded his arms and remained silent.

"…It seems that Ying has become much braver."

Raiden commented like this, then remained silent for a moment before continuing, "I'm sorry, Ying, you must have had a hard time these years."

"I have always felt guilty for suddenly entrusting Inazuma to you. I should have been by your side, giving you the necessary guidance step by step, helping you grow and eventually stop clinging to [No Thought]. Instead of facing so many difficulties and dangers like now..."

Raiden's tone was filled with guilt, self-blame and sadness, and then he became proud: "But I am very happy that without anyone's help, Ying still did not fall, but broke through the obsession and achieved real growth... I am proud of you, Ying."

"It's not as good as you said. In fact, I took a detour..." Ying seemed a little ashamed, sniffed, and remembered something: "Zhen, have you been watching me in Meng Yixin's heart?"

"No."

Raiden's tone was inexplicably subtle: "I just left a little bit of consciousness in Meng Xiangyi's heart. Originally, the moment you exerted all its power, I would also be released."

"Originally?" Ying blinked.

"Well, it was originally like this... Ah, it's not that you didn't use all of its power, it's just... it's just that when I was about to wake up, I was frightened by Mr. Chen Tianfeng, so I'm not sure if I was also frightened awake."

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Chen Tianfeng wanted to defend himself, but felt that there was really nothing to defend, so he had to remain silent along with the Puppet General.

Ying thought about it and decided that it would be better to skip this topic. After a moment's thought, he said, "Zhen, did you sense what was about to happen in Kanreya?"

"Well, somewhat. No matter which earthly ruler it is, [that place] is an existence that cannot be ignored."

But now it seems that compared to a certain existence, [that place] is not the most important thing.

How long had he been dead, what had happened in Teyvat, and why had such a monster suddenly appeared... Raiden sighed in his heart and said, "I can no longer sense time now. I don't know how long it had been since we met again, and I don't know what Inazuma had been through during this period."

"But I know that you must have gone through an extremely difficult road, and you must have wanted to cry many times, right?"
