Genshin Impact: Return of the Immortal Realm starts with being chased by Shadow

Paimon and Ying were worried about them. They were just ordinary people. If they dared to collide with the gods, they would undoubtedly die.

Ying gritted his teeth, turned around and rushed towards General Thunder.

She jumped up, condensed her strongest thunder elemental power in the air, turned it into a giant sword, and slashed at General Thunder...

However, a familiar scene appeared again, the surrounding space was shattered like fragments, and the scene quickly changed.

The surroundings became dark and gloomy, with dark red mist billowing, and torii gates scattered in the distance.

She realized that she had entered that strange space [One Heart Pure Land] again.

"Hi...Ying."

But she suddenly heard an extremely familiar voice coming from behind her and turned around suddenly.

"Lin Jinnian?! Why are you here too?"

"Uh... I don't know either."

Lin Jinnian didn't expect that Ying would actually pull him into the Pure Land. His appearance here was an accident.

He thought he could escape, but now it seems... he has to participate in this Shura field.

But this is a good thing for Ying. With Lin Jinnian here, she can rest assured. After all, more people give her more confidence.

When you really can't take a beating, just use Lin Jinnian as a human shield in front of him. Anyway, he can resist beatings and won't be damaged after being beaten.

At this time, Ying was meditating in the air not far away. When he noticed someone coming, he silently opened his eyes.

Her eyes were different from the cold and ruthless look of General Thunder, and some emotion could be seen in them.

She walked towards the two of them, her main attention still on Ying, and not too much on Lin Jinnian.

Maybe... Ying brought him in just to let him be a witness...

But after coming to the two of them, Ying still said to him.

"Lin Jinnian."

"exist."

"You go and watch, don't interfere."

"……Yes."

Lin Jinnian was a little stunned by Ying's sudden toughness.

Sure enough, when it comes to the final decision of eternity, is she still not so easily influenced?

Then Ying turned his head and continued to talk to Ying.

"We meet again... let me think about it, what is it that makes you come to me again?"

Ying could feel that the tone of the other person's words was not as stiff as General Thunder, so she spoke.

"You fools have misled the general! The Eye Hunting Order should not have been issued!"

"Oh? Isn't it just for the purpose of waking me up from eternal meditation?"

"Are you looking down on me? Of course I know what happened to the Eye Hunting Order."

After hearing what Ying said, Ying closed her eyes impatiently.

Although she couldn't possibly know everything, she wasn't a fool, and she wasn't to the point where she didn't understand everything...she was deceived but didn't realize it.

She only cares about things related to [eternity].

What the fools did...when it did not pose a threat to eternity, Shadow just turned a blind eye.

Otherwise, she would have gone to clean it up herself.

"But the Eye Hunting Order caused the people of Inazuma to lose a lot."

Ying kept arguing, but Ying remained unmoved.

"Wishes are inherently detrimental to eternity."

"What you haven't realized yet is that chasing desires... often leads to more losses."

"Just like the matter of collecting the Eye of God itself, no one will die because of it, but those who lose their lives are those who insist on pursuing their wishes, right?"

"..."

Seeing that Ying still couldn't understand his thoughts, Ying didn't want to waste any more words, so he said decisively.

"I have no intention of making you understand the meaning."

"Just by being here, I can serve as the path of [eternity] for the world."

Chapter 145 Shadow’s Defeat

If Ying Hui changes his will just because of her few words, then [eternity] is out of the question.

Yingya no longer wanted to shake Ying with words, she wanted to refute her with practical actions.

Facing Ying's choice, Ying had a look of disdain.

"In this case, [the one who rebelled against eternity], let me see... your consciousness."

The divine ring behind her lit up, and she raised the naginata in her right hand.

And Ying looked back at Lin Jinnian and found that he had already stepped aside. He had no intention of intervening, so he devoted himself to the next battle.

She raised the edgeless sword and exerted force with her feet, intending to attack first.

When he rushed in front of Kage, he slashed with a backhand sword, but Kage easily blocked it with his naginata.

Then Ying just waved the knife, and the thunder snaked out like a snake, knocking Ying back more than ten meters away.

Ying put her hands on the ground to barely stabilize her center of gravity.

With just one sword fight, Ying was already at a disadvantage.

At this time, Lin Jinnian felt the imperial guard sent by the Eightfold Divine Son in his arms react.

When I took it out, I noticed a faint glow coming from it.

Sure enough, the next second the familiar voice of Yae Shenzi appeared beside him.

"Oh, it's so lively..."

She first smiled at Lin Jinnian, and then looked at the two people confronting each other not far away.

When Kage saw the arrival of Yae Shenzi, a look of surprise appeared on her face, obviously she did not expect that she would enter the Pure Land of One Heart in this way.

"Son of God, is this your plan?"

"Don't forget who taught you to place your consciousness on objects."

"..."

Yae Shenzi smiled proudly, then walked to Ying and said in her ear.

"You don't think that your [wishes] alone can defeat Shadow's will, do you?"

"Although you are here, [their] wishes have long been pinned on you."

"So...close your eyes."

Ying obeyed obediently, closed her eyes and began to feel the subtle connection.

Different people's voices rang in her mind, some familiar to her and some unfamiliar.

But Ying can feel that those are the purest and hottest desires.

Gradually, light lit up around her, symbolizing the light of hope shining on her.

The people's wishes were responded to, and the Eyes of God crossed the barriers of space and continued to light up on the dome of [One Heart Pure Land].

Completely illuminating this dark, lifeless sky.

Ying was also attracted by this scene. She didn't expect [Wish] to have such an effect.

Along with the golden light, all the power of the people's wishes converged on Ying, giving her the [Power of a Hundred Eyes].

Ying felt the majestic power and swung the edgeless sword, preparing to attack again.

"I hope... the Eye Hunting Order will be abolished!"

When Ying saw this scene, his thunder element surged, and the divine ring behind him became even brighter. He held his naginata and faced Ying directly.

……

However, the development of the situation seemed to be different from what Lin Jinnian thought. Ying did not successfully defeat Ying, but remained suppressed.

Ying's sword skills were so powerful and domineering that he almost made Ying unable to breathe.

Even with the [Power of Hundred Eyes], Ying still can't defeat Ying?

Even Yae Shenzi was surprised by this. Why didn't she know that Shadow was already so powerful?

She couldn't help but worry about her father.

Ying himself felt even more strenuous and had a premonition of imminent defeat.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt an invisible force inside her body, swimming in her body, seeming to be merging with her and silently helping her.

After a while, Yingneng clearly felt that his strength had improved to a higher level.

"This is……"

She instantly understood that this was a small trick Lin Jinnian had done before.

It turns out that he had expected it...

Immediately, Ying's confidence increased greatly. He stood up and swung the edgeless sword, and his momentum suddenly increased.

Then charge again...

……

Shadow, defeated.

Although this result was expected by everyone, the process was very thrilling.

"You're defeated, Shadow."

Yae Shenzi was relieved. Although it was very twists and turns, Ying was even forced into a desperate situation, but the result was still good.

"..."

Shadow half-knelt, sighed, and then stood up.

"Yes, I lost."

Although it was a little difficult for her to understand, judging from the result, she still lost to those so-called [wish].

As a god, she lost to mortals.

"Why can't you trust your people and the power of their wishes?"

Yae Shenzi knew that this last step was to speak to Faying and touch her heart.

"Those desires have transcended distance, transcended space and time, and are already something that no one can kill."

"Although they are indeed weak, no matter how small a person is...the gathering of wishes will produce a force that cannot be ignored."

"When people go all out... they can even exceed the expectations of the gods." Yingya agreed.

This is what she gained from her journey after witnessing so many events in Liyue.

Speaking of Liyue... the Eightfold Divine Son couldn't help but think of it.

"Is this a country where humans run forward and leave the gods behind..."

She had long heard that the God of Rock in Liyue had let go of his hands and let humans manage the country on their own.

On the other hand, this person in my own family...

Then Yae Shenzi changed the subject.

"But why should we care for ourselves and give up on progress?"

"You have also witnessed with me the losses brought about by moving forward."

Ying looked at Lin Jinnian with complicated eyes. His former friend was now the only one left by his side.
