The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 300 Please Witness
"I considered this possibility and left a gift for you to ease Inazuma's pain."

Lei Dianzhen's voice sounded, full of tenderness and expectation: "Come, take it before my last consciousness disappears. However, the most important step still needs to be done by you personally..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the purple ball of light that had been floating and dissipating from time to time suddenly condensed, and a glowing tree species grew from the ball of light and fell into Ying's palm.

Is this... the sacred cherry tree species?
Ying lay quietly looking at the seeds in the palm of his hand, and suddenly an enlightenment came to his mind.

The Dark Disaster broke out, and at the critical moment, it was the sudden appearance of the Divine Sakura Tree that protected Inazuma, which saved Inazuma from the destruction of her country and her people. And Tianfeng said that the Divine Sakura Tree had not been planted yet... Is it really at this time?

The roots of the sacred cherry tree are spread throughout Inazuma and are closely connected to the earth's veins. It is the most important gift left by her sister... Ying looked at the sacred cherry tree seeds with his eyes flickering.

"The miracle tree that blesses all people is still a strange existence that no one has seen. When it falls to the ground and where it sprouts depends on the heart and dream of the person who gave birth to it. Give it life, Shadow."

"Eternity makes time infinitely extended, and dreams make every tick sparkle. The two complement each other, and the divine cherry will eventually..."

"elder sister."

Ying suddenly interrupted Lei Dianzhen's words. She lowered her head, her eyes lingering on the sacred cherry tree, and many past scenes suddenly emerged in her mind.

Five hundred years ago... No, for her, it should be a thousand years ago.

The dark disaster broke out suddenly, Inazuma was trapped both internally and externally, and the country was on the verge of destruction and death. However, due to the justice of heaven and Kanriya, her sister had to set out alone to go to the most dangerous battlefield.

Even she was kept in the dark.

When she finally found out, a cruel choice was placed before her: to save her sister at all costs, or to give up her sister and stay with Inazuma?
But no matter which one she chose, it would be an unacceptable result for her.

Inazuma is the home of her, her sister, and many friends, a place they would risk their lives to protect, but her sister is also the most important person to her. If possible, she would rather use her death to exchange for the safety of her sister and Inazuma, rather than choosing between the two.

It was because Huzaigong saw her hesitation that he stepped forward and exchanged his life for her chance to go to Kanreya.

"Don't worry, go and bring Shin back. Inazuma has me, so you don't have to worry."

She said so, but I failed to live up to her expectations.

Ying closed her eyes, and Kitsaumi's last smile emerged in her mind. Kitsaumi believed in her so much, believed that she could bring back Zhen, and believed that she could handle everything perfectly after getting a chance to catch her breath.

But I didn't do anything.

Kitsunayari died, Michiyo died, and her sister also died. Inazuma was swept away by the disaster and was seriously injured.

And what did you do after the disaster?
He built puppets, locked himself in a pure land, and like a coward, he tried his best to ignore Inazuma, which led to many disasters. For hundreds of years, Inazuma struggled to survive with the support of the son of God, but because there was no god in charge, he was oppressed by the despicable Fatui executives.

Ying recalled how he was awakened by Chen Tianfeng, and was surprised when he finally looked at Inazuma again.

Inazuma has almost changed its appearance, the Three Bugyo have deceived their superiors and bullied their subordinates, Umigi Island has raised the flag of rebellion, the country's seas are flooded with rogue demons and wandering samurai, and there are groups of pirates... It's a scene of a country with people suffering and about to perish!

I actually can't do anything.

I can't do anything, so my sister must come back. Whoever stands in my way is my enemy and Inazuma's enemy! Even if it means using the most extreme and crazy methods!
Ying exhaled gently and opened his eyes. There was a kind of heart-pounding calmness in his purple eyes.

"film?"

Lei Dian was confused and didn't understand why Ying interrupted her, but she had a feeling that the situation was about to get out of control. "Tian Feng."

Ying did not answer, but turned around and looked at Chen Tianfeng with serious eyes: "Can you revive the demon god?"

Chen Tianfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking a lot in an instant, and guessed Ying's thoughts, so his expression became serious for a rare time. After considering for a moment, he said frankly: "Yes, but not now. When I further revive, or swallow more high-level energy to improve my strength, I can achieve the level of resurrecting the demon god."

"Is that so...I understand."

Ying nodded, and inserted her dream upside down on the ground. Then she took a deep breath, took a step forward, and her purple eyes reflected Chen Tianfeng's figure. Thousands of emotions surged in her eyes, and finally condensed into a paranoid firmness.

She looked into Chen Tianfeng's eyes, and saw his rare serious and cautious expression. The corners of her lips seemed to curl up, and then she knelt on one knee with great solemnity, holding the sacred cherry tree seeds in both hands and raised them to her head.

"The demon god Baalzebub hereby begs Yuanxi Zhishi Tianzun! Please have mercy on the lives of Inazuma, please cast your eyes, please witness our sacrifice and death!"

"Please bear witness!"

"..."

The puppet general watched this scene in silence. He naturally understood why Ying did this and also understood that this was the best gamble at the moment. However, due to the "underlying logic", he could not beg the monster like Ying... beg Chen Tianfeng for witness. So he closed his eyes, as if he was a real lifeless and motionless puppet.

"..."

Lei Dianzhen's remaining consciousness was extremely confused. Through the conversation just now, she naturally guessed Ying's thoughts, but Ying's actions really surprised her, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

"..."

Chen Tianfeng was a little dazed by Ying's sudden action, but he quickly came to his senses, his eyes deep: "Have you thought it through? You have to understand that once I take over this tree seed, you and Inazuma will have no way out."

The sacred cherry tree is the lifeline of Inazuma and the cornerstone of Inazuma's existence. Once he plants the tree, all of Inazuma's history since the Dark Disaster will be affected.

Chen Tianfeng suddenly realized that this was the turmoil that his brother-in-law was talking about?
Indeed, if he planted the sacred cherry, it would indeed directly affect the time and destiny of Teyvat.

"Please bear witness!"

Ying lowered his head, his tone firm.

When the divine cherry tree was planted, the last of her sister's consciousness would dissipate. There was no better way to witness it than to let Tian Feng plant the divine cherry tree himself. More importantly, even if this method was still not feasible, Tian Feng could use the opportunity of planting the divine cherry tree as a springboard to connect to the earth veins and even directly spy on the world tree.

Ying believes that Chen Tianfeng will not miss this opportunity.

She held the tree seeds in her hands, her lowered eyes filled with determination.

"Please bear witness!"

"..."

Chen Tianfeng closed his eyes lightly, and when he opened them again, his deep black pupils had turned into gray-white snake pupils. He took the tree seeds and spoke in a calm and solemn tone:
“I witnessed it.”
