Genshin Impact: The Recorder of All Things

Lonely Cloud Pavilion is isolated overseas, but it is neither too far nor too close to Liyue Harbor; it is just at a distance from which it can influence Liyue Harbor.

Sometimes Wendy doesn't even know what the old man is thinking. Suppressing people so close to home, isn't that leaving room for future trouble?

Of the seven kingdoms, none are good except for Mondstadt. But why is Mondstadt good? Because of the sacrifice of the Demon God!

Others may not know him, but Barbatos himself does. When the Lone King of the Tower was overthrown and Deckalapian died, this power did not erupt. But where did the power go?

Some of it merged into the earth, and some was given to the "wind of change".

The throne crumbled, and a thousand winds swept through the chaos... but this is not the end!

The tyrant is gone, and the people of the wind face a new test—the Wolf King of the North Wind.

In the past, on this land of Old Mondstadt, two demon gods vied for the throne.

One is the recently deceased "Tornado Demon God" Dekalapian, and the other is "The Wolf King of the North Wind" Andrius.

During the reign of Deckardian, the "Demon of Tornadoes," all the gods once bore the responsibility of loving one another.

Therefore, Andrius, who led the pack of wolves but only adopted abandoned children and accepted vagrants, was quite an anomaly.

Andrius believed that humans only bring disappointment, but innocent babies are blameless.

The wolves choose their cubs, and if the cubs also choose the wolves, then they form the "Lupika"—a family bound by fate.

The wolf pack fully understands that humans feel lonely without their own kind, and the glorious broken tooth is a parting gift from the wolves.

Andrius challenged the brutal Dekalapian, but could not damage the Tower of Gale in the slightest.

Now that the tower has collapsed, it has attracted the last Daedric Lord of Mondstadt. The people, freed from the protection of the Lone King of the tower, are exposed to the wind and snow, and the cold instantly envelops them.

Wolf--

This astonishing commotion had already alerted many people, and by the time the wind wall dissipated, the wolf pack had already surrounded the area.

The wolf king's massive body gazed upon his freed people, and upon the drifting wind spirits...

A biting north wind howled, and a chilling cold enveloped the earth. Ice and snow covered everything, devoid of any life.

The wolf watched all of this silently with its eyes.

The wind spirit temporarily put aside its sorrow and floated before its people.

The wolf paid no attention to its movements, but simply looked up and surveyed its surroundings.

On this land, the north wind howls, and breath turns to frost. Ice and snow, like grains of sand, roar in the cold wind, tearing at the skin and freezing the blood.

Looking at the wind sprite, the wolf opened its mouth wide, its sharp fangs seemingly ready to devour its prey.

In the end, the survivors saw a peaceful smile.

That wind... was different...

Howling tornadoes and fierce north winds can only extinguish life, not nourish it.

"I hate humans!"

The wolf left behind a single sentence and vanished on its own.

The demon's flesh and blood nourished the earth, and the wind and snow stopped.

Wendy knew that wolves claimed they didn't love humans, yet their eyes held such tenderness when they looked at those who had been abandoned.

It felt incapable of depicting the happiness (good money and good life) of humankind, and therefore unworthy to be the king of the winds in the mortal world. Yet, at the end of its life, it nourished this land with its own flesh and blood, thus forever protecting its people.

Now, the North Wind sleeps quietly in the forest. Logically, it should be surrounded by wolves, but no one has ever seen them, because it knows that no one likes winter.

But it must have a warm and comforting dream about eating.

Nourished by the demon gods and nourished by the winds, Mondstadt has reached its current state.

Liyue also experienced something similar; it was only through the sacrifice of the Hearth God that this land was not so barren.

But that's all in the past. Now that we've turned it into a demon god and let those people kill it, what will happen to the disasters it brought to the earth?

Have any more people from Liyue sacrificed themselves?

"Old man, you must be joking!"

P.S.: Thank you to "zlice", "183…", "136…", and "157…" for the monthly tickets! Thank you so much, everyone!!!

Chapter 167 Rikka of Wuwang Slope

Zhongli doesn't joke around, because she's very confident.

It's overflowing!

On the other hand, Pigsy is in trouble... I mean, Rikka is in trouble~

Liyue, Wuwangslope.

"Master...Master, shouldn't we go back?"

Sanae clung to Rikka's arm, trembling.

This place is so eerie, what is Master doing here?

Rikka was also trembling all over, and moved forward with difficulty.

"Sanae, you, you go back first, I'll go alone."

Rikka initially planned to come alone, but Sanae insisted on coming along when she heard that Rikka was going to a dangerous place.

The two little girls sneaked out of Liyue Harbor and, after two days of stumbling and bumping along the way, arrived at Wuwang Slope.

"Master, why did you have to come here?"

Sanae had never asked Rikka what she wanted to do. Now that things were a bit scary around her, she could only try to find a topic of conversation, such as this issue that she was currently most concerned about.

Rikka bit her lip and then said, "I want to see my dad..."

"what?"

It turns out that her father's sudden death three years ago is a fact she still cannot accept.

During her most painful and helpless moment, she saw a hero. From then on, she believed that her father existed in a parallel world on the other side of the "Invisible Boundary Line," and she has been working to find it ever since.

Now she's heard that Wuwangpo is the final resting place for the dead, so she has to come here to see it. Either she can see her father in this "parallel world" or she can gain some experience to go back and find the "invisible boundary line" of her own world.

Sanae: "I see. Don't worry, Master, I will definitely help you find the invisible boundary line and find your father!"

With a goal in mind, the two girls seemed to regain their courage. They stopped trembling and walked with their heads held high in the eerie forest.

After the two walked past, Gokou Ruri came up from behind.

"Honestly, you never tell the teacher what's going on. You'll have to do extra homework when you get home!"

After the Lantern Festival, the black cat woke the two up, only to find a message.

"Kuroko-sensei, we're going to find the invisible boundary line. We'll be back soon!"

Black Cat easily found out where the two had gone by asking a few Thousand Rock soldiers, and chased after them all the way here.

She dealt with all the monsters along the way, including Hilichurls; otherwise, those two little girls wouldn't have made it this far.

But if we go any further...

Black Cat had a headache. She vaguely sensed something terrifying ahead. She should stop those two disobedient students, but after hearing Rikka's explanation, she hesitated again.

"Oh, it's true."

I opened the long-lost chat app, and Black Cat tagged Zhong Gui.

[Gokou Ruri: @Zhonggui, is there anything scary on Wuwang Slope?]

[Zhong Gui: No.]

[Ruri Gokou: Let me put it another way. Is there anything that's terrifying to me? Is it possible for me to escape unscathed with Rikka and Sanae?]

[Zhong Gui: No, that's fine.]

[Ruri Gokou: So decisive?]

[Zhong Gui: Reaching Wuwang Slope is like coming home; where's the danger?]

Although the black cat had some doubts, she still believed Zhong Gui's words.

This is Liyue, Zhong Gui's territory. Since he said there's no danger, then there must be no danger.

Otherwise, where would he put his face as the young master? We should avoid this danger today!

"What is this terrifying thing that I'm sensing?"

I knew that although she wasn't strong, her electromagnetic abilities were still quite good for detection. Those great scientists had developed a lot of techniques for using them, so she just needed to practice more.

Like sonar and radar, it doesn't require her to expend much energy; once a method is found, a lot can be accomplished.

"Because that's the underworld!"

“Wow!!!”

The sudden sound startled the black cat, causing it to jump. Lightning crackled and struck.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're just going to chop me up like this?"

Zhong Gui said this after making the lightning disappear without a trace.

"Why are you guys?"
