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

"I really never regarded me as a fearless weapon, and I shouldn't regard you as a tool."

Ying closed his eyes and expressed the thoughts buried in his heart.

Hearing her words, General Thunder couldn't help but feel a little touched in his heart.

"...Ha, you have really changed."

"This is what humans often call growth."

If that's the case...she is willing to give everything for Ying.

"I see. I will be your shadow, just as you were once the real shadow."

"The duties I will perform will not change."

After a slight pause, General Thunder continued.

"But as a warrior, I look forward to having the opportunity to fight like this in the future."

She has benefited a lot from her 500 years of fighting with Shadow.

If given the chance, she would naturally be willing to fight again.

"When it comes to victory or defeat alone, you still feel unwilling to do so, right?"

"..."

Perhaps, she was indeed a little bit unconvinced.

"It's just that I've never felt like this before. It's very novel and worth recalling."

After leaving these words, General Thunder and Lightning left...

Chapter 222

After a long silence, the cherry blossoms all over the sky gradually disappeared.

But only one delicate and fragile petal fluttered in front of Lin Jinnian and was held in his palm.

I used to think that the opportunities were unlimited, so I never cherished what was in front of me.

But only today did he understand that goodbye is forever...

Thinking of this, Lin Jinnian couldn't help but feel a little depressed and felt very uncomfortable.

He clenched his fists, trying hard to leave proof of his true existence.

Backfired.

When he opened his palm again, there was nothing inside.

I don’t know if that petal disappeared together with the fallen cherry blossoms before, or if it went to another place.

After a long silence, Lin Jinnian raised his head and looked in the direction of Ying.

Yingzheng looked at the sacred cherry tree in a daze.

She turned her head and looked at the vast, silent sky.

The scenery was beautiful, but very empty.

The feeling of loneliness filled her chest uncontrollably.

When she closed her eyes, memories of the past kept appearing in her memory.

Later, not only Shin, but also Kozaigiya, Gogo Chiyo, Sasa Yuri and others.

The peaceful and peaceful scene in my memory seems like it was yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, there are not many things I cherish around me left.

Why is this.

It seems that the only road ahead is myself.

Fortunately, Lin Jinnian came to Ying at this time and interrupted her random thoughts.

His figure was facing the light, and even his hair seemed to be glowing.

A pair of blue eyes were clearly in the shadow, but they looked very warm.

Lin Jinnian stretched out his hand towards Ying and looked at her softly.

"I'll be by your side, always."

Ying was stunned for a moment, then held Lin Jinnian's hand without hesitation.

"Ah."

The moment he felt the warmth of the other party, Ying felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Indescribable... peace of mind.

Is this a connection of minds?

……

After leaving the real consciousness space, everyone saw the Yae Shenzi who had been waiting in the cave for a long time.

As soon as she noticed something moving here, she came over, her fox ears twitched, and she said.

"They're all out? Let me see, are you missing any arms or legs?"

After seeing that Lin Jinnian and Ying were both safe and sound, she finally felt relieved.

In fact, she was anxiously waiting outside, but she just didn't want them to know.

"Son of God..."

After seeing Yae Shenzi for a long time, Kage naturally had a lot to say.

But before he could speak, he was interrupted by the other party.

"Okay, okay, I know you have a lot to say to me."

"It's better to go back to the shrine with me first, and let's sit down and talk slowly."

"it is good."

Lin Jinnian and Ying had no objection, and Ying and Paimon would not say anything.

In this way, the group came to Narukami Taisha Shrine again.

Paimeng told the whole story vividly. As for what happened before she and Ying returned to the conscious space, Lin Jinnian added.

After almost half an hour, Yae Shenzi learned everything from the two of them, and even she couldn't help but marvel.

"So...it was the current Kage who personally planted the sacred cherry tree in the consciousness space, allowing it to sprout in the past Inazuma."

"No matter how you think about it, it's an incredible thing."

But Ying believes that everything is really a credit.

"These are all due to the power of truth. She understands eternity better than I do."

"Although I don't fully understand it yet. But my intuition tells me that the root of everything...is that seed."

"I think that if we only rely on true strength, maybe..."

Yae Shenzi did not agree with Kage's idea. If he only relied on real power, he might not be able to reach that level.

"I understand what you are thinking." Ying Ziran knew the doubts in her heart.

"Maybe there really is a "higher level of power" involved.But no matter what, her method protected us all at the last moment. "

A higher level of power?Could it be... one of the four rulers of time, "Istaru"?

If it involves the maintainer, then Lin Jinnian will have to be more cautious.

What could be her purpose in doing all this?What does it really have to do with her?

But on the other side, the shadow is not as far away as Lin Jinnian thought.

Just as he lowered his head in thought, Shadow slowly walked towards the sacred cherry tree, placed his hand on the trunk, and stroked the texture on it.

"If there were no god cherry trees, Inazuma might have been completely swallowed up by disaster and filth hundreds of years ago."

"I know you have a wonderful perception of the sacred cherry tree, but for me, the sacred cherry tree has always existed."

Yae Kamiko walked to her side, stood side by side with her, and looked up at Kamizakura.

"In the past, you wanted to prove to me that there is a connection between this sacred cherry tree and the real consciousness space, but it was a pity that you failed, right?"

"Well, now I understand. Because the sacred cherry tree hadn't even been planted yet."

"But……"

Shadow looked at the tree trunk that had grown into the shape of a fox with a puzzled expression.

"Why is the appearance of Shenying now so different from what I saw in the consciousness space?"

"Oh, this..."

He became interested when talking about the Eightfold God Son and spoke in a frivolous tone.

"Don't even look at whose chassis the sacred cherry tree is planted? Of course it has to be pruned according to my taste~"

Seeing Ying looking at her with speechless eyes, she calmed down a little.

"I'm kidding. This tree has gone through a lot since it sprouted. Thanks to the fox's careful care, it can look like this now."

"It has nothing to do with me at all."

Then Yae Shenzi looked at Ying and Paimon who were acting as audience and said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, I still want to praise you."

"You said that time inside and outside the space of consciousness is not equal, right?"

"I believe you have not forgotten my instructions and have the desire in your heart silently. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to cross the distance of "time" and "space" at the same time. "

And from the point of view of the perfect resolution of this incident, the two of them indeed contributed a lot.

"I really want to thank you this time."

"Hehe...it's okay, that's all!"

Paimon proudly crossed his arms and Shadow thanked them in return.

"Thank you both. You have done a lot for me, and I will remember it in my heart."

"You're welcome, it's all I should do."

Even Ying felt a little embarrassed this time. This was the first time that Ying and Shenzi thanked each other so formally.

After some small talk, Yae Shenzi asked about Kage's condition again.

"Shadow, are you feeling better now?"

"My body has fully recovered, and the general's will is no longer against me."

"Of course your body is important, but I want to ask more, have you calmed down?"

Yae Shenzi had the urge to reach out and hit Kage on the head...but she resisted in the end.
