Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

"Poor mortals, do you know what I like most is actually what the false god of Liyue said?"

"Every power has its price; a thousand powers come with a thousand responsibilities."

"Now that disgusting throne in the sky has granted you the power to manipulate elemental forces, giving you the possibility of ascending to the throne of gods. But what responsibilities and prices will you have to pay for this power?"

"This destiny star, originating from the high heavens, is still shining. When you face all of that, what choices will you make? Will you regret it then?"

"Kukuku!"

Mocking laughter echoed once again atop the mountain, but surprisingly, Wendy, who had stopped strumming his harp, did not refute the abyss mage's words when faced with the abyss mage's mockery.

"What exactly is going on? And what about my teammates? What is this so-called ley line echo?!"

"Why did you have to drown them along with the monsters?!"

"What exactly is going on? Give me an answer!"

Yura didn't care about so many things; all she cared about now were her teammates whom she had just met and whom she wanted to fight alongside! After seeing the avalanche engulf her teammates once again, Yura was already showing great restraint by not immediately swinging her greatsword at Abedo.

Even so, Yura remained extremely agitated, waiting for an answer from Abedo or Wendy. She needed an answer; driven to the brink of madness, Yura was now desperately grasping at any straw.

As for whether her attitude would anger Abedo or Wendy—to be honest, Yura no longer cares about such trivial matters, and she has even ignored the anxious Amber beside her.

"..."

"Instead of asking us these kinds of questions, why don't we just talk to them directly?"

"Some things can only be understood by communicating with the people involved, right?"

As Wendy pondered for a moment, preparing to answer Yura's question, Su Feng slowly opened his eyes and said, "..." As his voice fell, the figures of the guerrilla squad members who had just been submerged by the avalanche along with the monsters reappeared in Yura's sight.

After these guys who had just been buried by the avalanche opened their eyes again, they looked around with some curiosity. Some of the more carefree guys even started sharing their feelings about being buried by the avalanche!

Tsk, so even a guerrilla squad is still Mondstadt people after all!

Chapter 59 Even the Wind God Who Slacks Off Has His Own Private Beloved

When her teammates reappeared beside her, Yura, who had been nearly going crazy, finally calmed down again. Especially when she saw these clowns discussing the bizarre question of whether it was cold or painful when buried by an avalanche, she was so angry that she almost laughed. But it did seem like something her teammates were capable of doing.

But the glimmer of light in the corner of her eyes clearly revealed the girl's inner thoughts.

Yura and her teammates quickly occupied a small corner.

However, this time, Yura, who had once taught and protected her teammates, became the one being taught. The afterimages of the teammates that Su Feng had awakened from the ley lines were criticizing their captain for having such a terrible idea of ​​suicide.

Amber, who had been by Yura's side the whole time, nodded repeatedly. It seemed that she had finally found an opportunity to try to get Yura's bad ideas back on track, and she was not going to let her friend off so easily.

However, judging from the current situation, Yura should be fine now. With the encouragement of her former teammates, she should be able to get out of that terrible shadow.

Having confirmed this, Ying then turned her attention back to the two Abedos who were still confronting the Abyss Mages.

The facts are already quite clear—one of the two Abedos is a so-called 'defective product,' and what that 'defective product' wants to do is replace the 'genuine product' and live in this world.

As for who is the genuine product...

After glancing at the necks of the two Abedos, Ying easily distinguished them. But this also made her curious—what was that guy thinking?

It's such an obvious flaw, yet they just don't want to fix it.

Does this diamond-shaped mark really have such important significance?

So important that even if there's a high chance of it being exposed, they're unwilling to add this mark?

"So, what should I do now?"

Although she was very curious about what was going on with Abedo, Ying perfectly controlled her curiosity. Although the abyss mage had only revealed a little bit of information, it was enough for the knowledgeable Ying to guess a lot of things. Considering that digging deeper into this matter would be like dancing in a minefield, Ying decisively chose to focus her attention back on the competition.

Or rather, Ying focused on how to win that high reward.

"Ahem, I'm so sorry, although it's a matter for Mondstadt, it's still causing you so much trouble."

"How about this, I'll treat you to drinks next time?"

Wendy was caught off guard when he suddenly heard Ying's words—he never expected that this series of secrets would fail to attract Ying's attention. He had been observing the changes in the entire snow mountain and making some arrangements, so his attention was not on this matter for the time being.

Fortunately, Wendy had already made arrangements for Ying and immediately answered her question.

"Please work hard to repair the Heavenly Nail as soon as possible. Su Feng has been fighting against the power of the abyss in the earth veins for a long time. Now we must use the power of the Heavenly Nail to temporarily imprison the abyss so that Su Feng can completely eliminate the abyss on the snow mountain."

After hearing Venti's answer, Ying couldn't help but glance at Venti in front of her. She felt that Venti's mind was not on this at all, but considering that the other party was, after all, the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt, she didn't say anything more.

After all, she was still on the surface of Mondstadt, and she had some questions for the Mondstadt wind god, so she didn't say much.

Wendy quickly tricked Luminous and Bennett into activating the cores they had brought up. Once these three cores, symbolizing the power of the Sky Spikes, were activated again, the Sky Spikes would naturally repair themselves.

Once fully repaired, the Sky Nail, sensing the power of the abyss, will naturally return to its original function.

After that, Wendy turned her attention back to the abyss mage who was still being tormented by the two Abedos.

"Even now, you still firmly believe that you are right?"

Even if you already know what the abyss is, even if continuing like this will eventually plunge the entire world into nothingness?

Wendy, looking rather grim, questioned the abyss mage before her. But upon sensing the pure wind emanating from Wendy, which was no longer concealed, the abyss mage, who had almost given up resisting under the control of the two Abedos, once again erupted into a riot.

"A hypocritical god, a wicked god, a hateful god!"

"The dark tide we unleash will eventually engulf your kingdom, and everything that once was will be transformed into nightmares and revealed to your land!"

"What burns in my chest is an rage that can never be washed away, an rage that will surely end in a pile of pale ashes!!"

The abyss mage's sudden anger and riot left the two Abedos bewildered. Fortunately, the mage's pitifully weak strength was no match for their control. After slightly increasing their pressure, the abyss mage was once again firmly under their control.

"Hmph! As foolish and insane as ever."

“You have no idea what kind of hopeless future you are hoping for. There are good reasons why the taboos we set are taboos. You always disregard the rules of taboos, but when the bitter fruit comes, you shirk all responsibility.”

"We paid a huge price to clean up that mess, but what have you done in return?"

"Fool!"

Wendy's face had almost never looked so bad. He no longer wanted to communicate with this abyss mage; this brief exchange had already brought back too many terrible memories.

"You can handle this abyss mage as you see fit, but don't expect to get any useful information from him."

"Furthermore, I don't know what you plan to do with your brother, but in any case, the abyssal power within him must be completely removed, otherwise he must never get close to Mondstadt."

Wendy issued his divine decree in an unprecedentedly solemn and cold tone. The lush green wind that had once silently surrounded him now appeared, and the once carefree wind was now tainted by his mood, transforming into a colder wind than the one on the mountaintop.

This was an oracle from the wind god. Wendy, who had previously been all smiles and laughter, clearly expressed his attitude and divine majesty at this moment.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Although he had no faith in any deity, Abedo knew very well that the person standing before him was not a jovial bard, but one of the oldest of the Seven Earthly Rulers who had once transformed Mondstadt.

He had no choice but to agree!

Fortunately, it seems that the Wind God does not intend to completely erase them from this world, as they could be considered taboo. The Wind God once tacitly allowed their existence in Mondstadt, and now, the Wind God has granted them permission to exist in Mondstadt.

But this is on the premise that he can pull his brother back from the edge of taboo.

After thinking about this, Aberdo looked at his brother again.

"Let's go, maybe we need to have a serious talk."

Chapter Sixty: All things will eventually part and reunite.

"Buzz!"

One by one, the power flowed back into the light nails, and the formidable force contained within the fragments gradually brought the scattered light nails back together.

"Click, click!"

The light spikes that had once penetrated deep into the earth slowly floated up from the ground, the ice that had never melted for years began to crack, and Ying, standing atop the snow-capped mountain, silently watched the light spikes rise into the sky, and then...

"boom!"

Guided by Wendy, the Sky Spike, imbued with immense power, slammed heavily into the earth once more. As the Sky Spike penetrated deeper, the power originating from the heavens began to solidify the ley lines and harden the abyss once more.

The power of the Abyss is undoubtedly immense. Even the Sky Spikes, which are specifically designed to repair the world and heal the earth, can only solidify the deadly poisons that do not belong to Teyvat into slightly less potent toxins that remain in place—this merely transforms violent death into a slow death.

If things continue like this, Teyvat will eventually be overthrown by the power of the abyss.

However, this time, unexpected events and variables finally appeared in this world.

After the power of the Heavenly Nail trapped the Abyss, Su Feng decisively activated his own power. He, who had been locked in a stalemate with the Abyss, seized this opportunity to be completely swallowed by the solidified Abyss, which had lost its power to resist. With his actions, the Abyss that had once polluted the snow mountain was being reduced at an extremely fast speed, and the purified power was once again injected into the earth.

"Buzz!"

As the power of the abyss was drawn away and purified, and as the pure power of the earth veins returned to the land, the once blood-red Tree of Vengeance trembled slightly. It felt the long-dead earth regain its vitality, and specks of pure white light fell from the snow-capped peak. As these specks of light fell, the cold wind that had enveloped the entire snow-capped mountain for who knows how long quickly dissipated.

"What an unforgettable view! Well then... let me play a tune!"

As the bitter cold that enveloped the snow-capped mountains gradually dissipated, Wendy couldn't help but smile slightly. He gently raised his hand, transforming the Eye of God at his waist into a wooden lyre, and then softly plucked the strings.

The heavenly song that once resounded throughout Mondstadt was played once more. Venti, singing a song no one could understand, guided the warm monsoon winds from the ocean to the snow-capped mountains that had been freed from the icy chill. Then, pure rain enveloped the entire mountain.

The filth was washed away, the snow melted, and Ying, standing atop the snow-capped mountain, could even see that after the snow beneath her feet melted, tiny bits of green had already climbed up this life-giving wasteland that almost touched the heavens.

"It's an unimaginable power."

Amber, who was still criticizing and persuading Yura, and the Phantoms from the former guerrilla squad also temporarily stopped criticizing their superior and friend. Everyone looked in surprise at the emerald green color that was gradually spreading from Su Feng's body.

"This is simply a miracle."

As everyone watched the spring colors gradually spreading across the snow-capped mountains, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

No, this is not a miracle, but a divine intervention.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but turn their gaze to Wendy, who was still guiding the monsoon, and Sufeng, who was still continuously injecting power into this land. This was a miracle and blessing that the gods of Mondstadt and their servants had brought to this ancient kingdom.

"Captain, even the snow-capped mountains have overcome their past perilous situations, let alone you?"

"We are delighted that you care about us so much, which shows that we have truly gained your approval. Please continue to work hard with our blessings and strength."

"This is very unfair to you, but please forgive us for this last act of willfulness."

"Please, just live on, Captain!" *N

After sensing the pulsation of the earth's veins, the phantoms awakened from them exchanged glances, then tacitly surrounded Yura, sharing their innermost thoughts. When Yura saw the figures of her teammates beginning to blur again, she knew that the moment of parting had arrived.

"You guys... I'll remember this grudge!"

"Sooner or later, I will also step into the Source Sea, and then I will settle this score with you one by one."
