Genshin Impact: The Vision of Gods Shines Again

Now, Mu Xian's task is to slip up to Yingxiang Mountain while the soldiers are being led away and before they can react.

Time waits for no one, and Mu Xian swatted the mosquito that had been buzzing in his ear.

The mosquitoes were still buzzing in his ears, but this time Mu Xian couldn't stand it anymore and swatted them away.

He opened his palm, and whoosh, killed seven people in one go!

The surroundings suddenly became quiet; there wasn't even the sound of footsteps approaching.

It seems that there is no one at the entrance of Narukami Taisha.

Without hesitation, Mu Xian emerged from the bushes and headed straight for the entrance to the shrine.

Great, there's no one at the entrance after all.

Mu Xian's eyes lit up, and then he touched the small box in his arms. He remembered the conversation that Zhong Li had said when he handed the small box to him.

"I went to great lengths to get this."

Zhongli took a sip of tea, but Mu Xian, who witnessed the whole process, knew that the so-called "taking some effort" was just opening his mouth.

"There's a clever mechanism inside. Just insert it into the trunk of the Divine Cherry Tree, and it will borrow a portion of the tree's power..."

As the recollection ended, Mu Xian removed his hand from the box in his arms, involuntarily letting out a cold snort.

"Just steal it, why say you're borrowing it?"

As he spoke, Mu Xian bent over, lowered his center of gravity, and slowly approached Narukami Shrine.

Chapter 69 Not knowing you have amnesia doesn't mean you have amnesia.

The rocks in the mountains blocked the water flow, and the water, having nowhere to go, gathered in the crevices of the rocks to form a pool.

The pool water overflowed, forming a watery garment.

Moss-covered stone walls were smeared with water, which quickly gathered into beads.

Water droplets fell, quickly passing through the main road of the Yingxiang Mountain fault, falling from the mountainside to the very bottom of the mountain.

Ying Xiangshan was unlike most of the mountains that Mu Xian had seen, because it was crippled.

The mountain looked as if something had hollowed out a section of it, leaving a deep abyss in the very center.

Even the mountain road leading to Narukami Shrine has been disrupted, with a huge tree trunk lying across the middle of the road.

This is a very difficult mountain path, and perhaps that's why there isn't a single person on this path except for Mu Xian.

Fortunately, Mu Xian was quite skilled and managed to climb to the top of Yingxiang Mountain in no time.

The torii gate of the shrine stands at the entrance, and the vermilion wooden building stands in the center of the pond.

Petals of cherry blossoms floated on the water, and the moonlight fell perfectly on the pond, making the entire shrine appear extremely tranquil.

Unlike the guarded entrance at the foot of the mountain, the entire shrine was completely deserted.

In such a quiet atmosphere, it wouldn't seem strange at all if a vengeful spirit suddenly jumped out.

Looking through the torii gate at the shrine, Mu Xian was somewhat taken aback.

In Mu Xian's memory, Narukami Shrine has always been overly lively.

Even if Narukami Shrine is closed, there should still be one or two shrine maidens guarding it.

Only a month had passed since the day I died, and it seemed that something had happened in that month.

Lost in thought, Mu Xian stepped into the shrine.

The young man's figure passed through the torii gate, circled the pond, and went deeper from the other side.

A faint scent of cherry blossoms filled the air, and Mu Xian could only hear the gentle breeze rustling the leaves above her head.

"It's okay..."

The girl's voice was cheerful with a hint of excitement, which sounded particularly abrupt in the quiet shrine.

Upon hearing the sound, Mu Xian stopped and tried to make as little noise as possible.

Looking around, he couldn't see a single person. The sound of leaves blowing above seemed to tell Mu Xian that the previous sound was an illusion.

—An illusion? Is it really an illusion?

Mu Xian waited in the same spot for a long time, and when no more sound came out, he continued walking towards the direction of the Divine Cherry Tree.

The area at the top of the mountain was not very large, and Mu Xian quickly walked to the square behind the pool.

A large tree grows at the other end of the square, its huge trunk protruding and twisting strangely, forming the shape of a fox.

This is the sacred cherry tree of Inazuma, but the light emanating from its trunk appears unusually dim, as if its power has been drained away.

"It's okay, I'll make a firework that the whole of Inazuma can see..."

Just as Mu Xian looked at the divine cherry blossom tree, the same voice appeared in his ears again.

Compared to last time, the sound was exceptionally clear, and Mu Xian realized the direction from which the sound came.

The divine cherry tree, or rather, the sound came from inside the divine cherry tree.

After calming himself down, Mu Xian continued walking towards the Divine Cherry Tree, took out the box, and retrieved the small mechanism inside.

The mechanism was something that looked like a nail. Even without being specifically told, Mu Xian knew that all he needed to do was nail it into the tree trunk.

—But what exactly happened to the Divine Cherry Tree?

Mu Xian frowned, not feeling that he could draw much strength from this big tree.

But since we've come all this way, we should at least give it a try.

Holding a nail in his hand, Mu Xian hammered it into the tree trunk.

As if some mechanism had been triggered, the nail driven into the tree trunk suddenly transformed into a wooden glass lily.

The wooden, glass-like lily petals clustered together, as if they had grown from the trunk of a sacred cherry tree.

Mu Xian didn't look at the glass lily that was stuck in the tree trunk. The moment his palm touched the tree trunk, the scene in front of Mu Xian changed.

It was still night, but Mu Xian was on a beach, with the sound of fireworks exploding in the distance.

Standing in front of her was a little girl in a kimono. The timid expression on the girl's face slowly disappeared, and her eyes reflected the starlight.

—Is this...Yomi-no-miya?

—But how could it suddenly become so small?

Mu Xian was puzzled, but then he saw Xiao Xiaogong looking up at him.

"It's alright, I'll make a firework that the whole of Inazuma can see, so no matter where you are, Takehito-nii, you can see it."

"So, when that time comes, Brother Wuren, remember to look up at the sky."

Festivals, fireworks, beaches...

As if a lost memory had been retrieved, Mu Xian suddenly remembered his first meeting with Xiao Gong.

As if escaping, his right hand was pulled away from the trunk of the Divine Cherry Tree. Mu Xian, who had taken a few steps back, found himself panting heavily.

Mu Xian looked at his right hand, which was trembling involuntarily, obscuring the view of the sacred cherry tree in front of him.

—No wonder...no wonder Yoomiya on Ganjin Island said he knew himself.

—No wonder Yonomiya was like that after saying he was dead.

It turns out that before he died, he lost some of his memories.

Mu Xian's originally indifferent face gradually revealed a complicated expression as he looked at the divine cherry tree in front of him once again.

The glass lily on the tree trunk opened a single wooden petal, and there seemed to be no sound of the breeze rustling the leaves around.

Mu Xian reached out his palm, wanting to touch the trunk of the Divine Cherry Tree again.

But his right hand, which was stretched out in mid-air, suddenly retreated, and then he drew the sword from his waist and blocked behind him.

clang! ! !

The clanging of metal against metal was particularly jarring in the quiet shrine. The figure attacking Mu Xian clearly hadn't expected Mu Xian to move so quickly, and decisively jumped back several steps.

The attack was so sudden that neither of them had time to see who the other was, but as they got closer, two familiar faces appeared before them.

"Xiao Bai..."

Mu Xian opened his mouth reflexively, but quickly realized his current identity and shut his mouth.

However, the two words that came out of his mouth were heard by the figure who attacked Mu Xian.

"You mean Xiaobaidai, right?"

Hyakudai, or rather, Gento Rin, the fortune-telling shrine maiden of Narukami Shrine, gradually turned cold: "So, how should I address you?"

"Teacher, or a traitor to the final chapter!"

"so what?"

Mu Xian knew that his subconscious words had given away his identity, so he didn't hold back and coldly asked, "What do you want from me, a traitor?"

"Stab me to death?"

Mu Xian's words caused a flicker of surprise in Xuan Donglin's eyes, as if he couldn't believe that Mu Xian would say such a thing.

She looked up at Mu Xian's black hair and then snorted coldly.

"Anyway, there are quite a few people who are hostile towards you in the final battle, and someone will naturally come to kill you."

She gripped the weapon in her hand, then put it away, glaring fiercely at Mu Xian: "Just you wait!"

After saying that, without giving Mu Xian a chance to speak again, he left the square of the shrine and quickly disappeared from sight.

Chapter 70 The Second Swing of the Knife

The sudden, inexplicable attack on Mu Xian, followed by the inexplicable disappearance, perfectly matches Mu Xian's memory of Xiao Baidai.

However, Mu Xian didn't want to pay attention to this guy. He turned to look at the Divine Cherry Tree and found that the mechanism on the trunk was slowly opening the third petal.

Mu Xian guessed that this should be considered some kind of symbol representing the absorption of the Divine Cherry Tree.

When the petals are fully open, it means that the mechanism has completed its absorption.
