Genshin Impact: The Vision of Gods Shines Again

Mu Xian stood up, his angry gaze suddenly freezing when he saw the blonde girl.

"I saved your life." Ying's tone was indifferent, with a condescending air about her.

"Who asked you to save me? Do you expect me to repay you?" Mu Xian looked down at Ying, his tone impolite, but he was still somewhat cautious towards her.

After all, Mu Xian didn't want to survive and instead be brainwashed into becoming an abyss monster.

Mu Xian's impolite tone annoyed the Abyss Apostle behind Ying, who was about to speak but was stopped by Ying.

"We don't have time to waste on him right now; we have more important things to do."

After Ying finished speaking, she looked at Mu Xian and said, "I just want to tell you that the abyss is not as bad as you imagine."

"The world you see may be even more unbearable than the abyss."

"So what?" Mu Xian said, "Does that mean I should get rid of someone just because I don't like them?"

"But you can make him better."

Ying asked in a flat tone, "Perhaps you should join us?"

"Whether he's good or bad has absolutely nothing to do with me."

Mu Xian resigned himself to his fate: "What? Do you want to brainwash me into becoming an abyss monster like before?"

"I might have been like that not long ago."

Ying looked at Mu Xian's face and suddenly laughed: "But now I know you'll join us sooner or later."

"Whom did you learn this inexplicably confident tone from?"

Perhaps knowing that Ying didn't want to lay a hand on him, Mu Xian became much bolder: "Then I'll say it again, no matter what the plan is, you will fail sooner or later."

"Failure? Perhaps."

"But this is something I have to do."

The girl's tone became firm. She ignored Mu Xian, who was sitting on the ground, and turned to walk into the deeper darkness.

"Let's go and start the next step of the plan."

"As you command, Your Highness Princess."

The vast space was now empty except for Mu Xian. He lay down on the ground again, gazing at the darkness before him, and felt an unprecedented sense of peace once more.

Tranquility made Mu Xian close his eyes, as if his soul had returned to the earth's veins.

There was no malice, no rejection; even that loneliness was just loneliness.

That's good enough.

But this state didn't last long for Mu Xian. The tremors transmitted from the ground into his body made Mu Xian open his eyes.

The sudden change made Mu Xian look around, but all he saw was darkness and the corpse of the Fools not far away.

To ordinary people, it was just a gruesome corpse, but Mu Xian was an employee of the Hall of Rebirth.

The death of the manager of the Rebirth Hall was investigated, and the earth's veins were examined.

The bracelet emitted a faint glow in the darkness. In Mu Xian's eyes, black liquid continuously flowed from the corpse and was then absorbed by the earth.

This is a normal phenomenon where the deceased returns to the earth's veins after death, and the Hall of Rebirth is established to ensure the smooth progress of this process.

But isn't there way too much of this black liquid?

Mu Xian sensed something was wrong and reached out towards the corpse. While observing it, Mu Xian saw something emitting a faint red glow.

The Eye of God? No, the Eye of God isn't that ugly.

Picking up the object that resembled the Eye of God, Mu Xian recalled seeing a similar gadget in the hands of a rebel leader when he was in Inazuma.

I remember that thing... it's called the Evil Eye, it can drain your life force to gain power... a good thing!

Without the slightest hesitation, Mu Xian put away the Evil Eye and began to examine the corpse in front of him once more.

The soul on this corpse seems to have been tampered with; more and more black liquid is oozing from the body.

Because of the contract's effect, Mu Xian could not simply leave this unusual corpse unattended.

Although Mu Xian, who was a latecomer to the profession, could not possibly have more experience in this kind of thing than Hu Tao, Mu Xian had a more direct method.

Since the black liquid is flowing from the corpse, burning the corpse would be fine. It would also be a good opportunity to test the power of the Evil Eye.

Without hesitation, Mu Xian channeled his energy into the Evil Eye in his hand, only to feel his physical strength being completely drained away as a strange flame flew toward the corpse.

The flames completely engulfed the corpse, burning it to ashes in an instant.

The black liquid disappeared along with the corpse, and everything should have ended, but the tremors on the ground became more and more violent.

"What happened? Could it be because of that corpse?"

Mu Xian was puzzled, but in the next instant, the ground cracked open, and countless black sludge gushed out from the cracks.

The dark purple sludge made Mu Xian feel nauseous, and he could also feel the abyssal corrosion that he had suppressed spreading again.

A chance to die? Or to be corrupted into a mindless monster?

Mu Xian dared not gamble, so he simply took a step back and happened to see Ying running over from a distance, the girl with a hint of annoyance on her face.

Ying also saw Mu Xian and walked straight towards him without hesitation.

The princess of the abyss seemed unafraid of the black sludge; on the contrary, the sludge avoided the girl as if it had met its nemesis.

"Come with me." Ying grabbed Mu Xian's right hand and was about to pull Mu Xian away.

Mu Xian, who was being led by Ying, looked puzzled and asked Ying, "What happened?"

"Someone is trying to destroy the earth's veins." Ying said, her anger rising. "They're really courting death."

...

The strange occurrences in the underground mining area weren't limited to the depths; the constant tremors emanating from the ground gave Ye Lan a premonition that something ominous was about to happen.

Yelan looked towards the teleportation anchor point, where Kong and Paimon appeared.

"A traveler?" Ye Lan was pleasantly surprised and quickly asked, "What happened?"

"Yelan, a lot of black silt has suddenly appeared below the mine."

Before Kong could speak, Paimon hurriedly said, "It must have been the work of the Fools."

"The Fools?" Yelan was a little puzzled. How could Paimon be so sure that it was those guys who did it?

"Have you forgotten? You said you received information that a member of the Fatui clan wanted to harm Liyue."

Ye Lan then remembered the set of words she had used to get information out of the traveler not long ago.

"Ahem, it's also possible that it wasn't the Fools who did it."

Ye Lan looked away and continued, "The most important thing now is to tell Tian Quan about the current situation of the Layered Rock Abyss."

At this point, Yelan looked at the sky and said, "Traveler, it's all up to you."

"that..."

Before Kong could nod, Qianyan Jun, who had been silent all along, spoke up weakly: "Lord Yelan, Lord Tianquan has guessed the current situation of the Layered Rock Abyss."

"You guessed it?!" Ye Lan frowned, feeling somewhat shocked. How could someone possibly guess something like that?

Before Ye Lan could think it over, Qian Yanjun silently handed her a slip of paper.

"My lord, this is Tianquan Xing's order."

Ye Lan unfolded the note; it contained only one line of large characters.

Everyone leaves the mining area, completely isolating themselves from the ley lines of the Layered Rock Abyss.

Chapter 18 Injecting Some Evil Thing

Ye Lan looked at the note in her hand again and again, then stared at Qian Yanjun, who had handed her the note, trying to find out some clue.

No matter how powerful Tianquan Star is, it's impossible for him to know about the Layered Rock Abyss so quickly.

Ye Lan was puzzled, but the tremors on the ground in the mining area grew more and more intense, so she could only suppress her doubts.

Turning his head to look at the sky, this traveler seemed to have the awareness of a Teyvat tool.

"Do you need my help?" Kong asked.

"Thank you in advance, traveler."

Ye Lan smiled, then quickly became serious: "Tianquan Star has arranged other tasks. Traveler, you should help lead the miners away first."

“Then leave it to us,” Paimon agreed readily.

Time was short, so Ye Lan nodded and then gestured for some people to come.

After all, sealing off the ley lines isn't something Yelan can handle alone...

Looking behind him, Mu Xian saw thick, dark sludge continuously gushing from the ground, quickly enveloping the surrounding area.

However, it was only an encirclement; the surrounding area was what appeared to be an altar, and the blonde girl was using the power within her to continuously block the altar's barrier.

"Your Highness, due to the influence of the earth's veins, the purification ritual may not be able to proceed."

The speaker was one of the Abyss Apostles standing nearby. Mu Xian looked over in the direction of the voice and saw a girl who was a head taller than him frowning.

"Isn't there any other way?" Ying asked. "We must purify the curse of immortality no matter what."

"Her Highness's power can suppress these filths."

The Abyss Apostle hesitated before speaking: "But Your Highness, you need to preside over the ceremony."

"Perhaps, your blood relatives..."

"It goes without saying."

Ying interrupted the Abyss Apostle directly: "You should have some other ideas."

“Your Highness, since we cannot isolate this filth, we can transfer the filth flowing into the purification barrier to a container.”

"And there just happens to be a container here."

As he spoke, the Abyss Apostle glanced at Mu Xian beside him with ill intent.

"What are you looking at?" Mu Xian frowned, not having any good feelings towards these guys: "Do you think I don't know what you're up to?"
