Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl

Ryan sighed, which was rare, "But by then, perhaps the world will be peaceful, and the organization will have no meaning to exist."

"Will the world be at peace if the Abyss Organization and the Battle Hunters are eliminated? What about the Fatui?"

What about heaven?

"So it's 'maybe', maybe the Ice God will just disband the Fatui?"

"What does this have to do with the Ice God?"

The Cult of the Abyss is indeed the cancer of the continent of Teyvat, but the Fatui are not bad either, and both sides are evil people.

The combat hunters have never appeared in the game. If it weren't for the chief instructor... I'm afraid I would never have had any contact with them.

"That brings us to the Combat Hunters. Remember what I told you last time? The ordinary members of the Combat Hunters are all corrupted God's Eye holders, but their leaders are not like that."

"Four Heavenly Kings?" Wang Chen called out this old-fashioned name.

"That's right. The Four Heavenly Kings are not ordinary people. They are not even born from Teyvat."

"!"

Wang Chen was confused and uncertain, but he still said, "Not a life form born from Teyvat? What does that mean?"

Ryan nodded with satisfaction: "They came from outside Teyvat. Are you surprised? I was also surprised when I first heard about it. I didn't expect there were other worlds outside Teyvat!"

"How can it be?!"

Wang Chen did not hide his doubts. Although what Ryan thought was not the same as what he actually doubted, this was exactly the effect he wanted.

The Fatui call the alien beings that do not belong to this world "Adventers", and Ying ranks fourth.

According to Nashida's speculation, the first person to arrive was Tianli.

But from Wang Chen’s perspective, the first person to descend should be the First Throne. Heavenly Principle and the Four Original Shadows are all creations of the First Throne. The second person to descend should be the Second Throne. The third person to descend might be Alice, or some character who has not appeared.

Where is the position of the Four Heavenly Kings of Combat Hunters?

Wait... Nashida only said Ying was fourth, but that doesn't mean there are only four "Adventers"...

"Hahahaha!" The information that he had already known seemed unbelievable to others. Ryan enjoyed the pleasure brought by this information gap.

He laughed for a long time before he stopped, patted Wang Chen on the shoulder and said:

“Listen to me young man, the leadership of the Battle Hunters really does come from outside of Teyvat.

"According to the organization's records, a god attacked them two hundred years ago, but they hid themselves. Where do you think even gods can't go? That is - outside the world."

Wang Chen was confused. Did the Four Heavenly Kings fly into outer space? Wouldn’t that mean they would fall directly into Tianli’s arms?

Ryan didn't keep it a secret any longer:

“They escaped from the northernmost border of Teyvat, and most likely entered from there in the first place.

“Think about it, a few guys who randomly come in from outside can stir up trouble in Teyvat. If one day they bring more of their kind, won’t Teyvat be in turmoil?

"And the northernmost country is the Ice God's Kingdom of Winter. When the time comes, Winter will be the first to be hit. Are you anxious, since you are the Ice God?"

"what?"

Wang Chen finally understood that the Four Heavenly Kings did not come from space, but from the border of Teyvat...

Are they considered "Adventers"? What is this border? Is it the same one that Alice is guarding?

As a person who has experienced this, Ryan thought he understood what Wang Chen was wondering about, and he explained:

“The continent of Teyvat does have borders, and the organization spent a lot of effort to figure this out.

“As long as you keep walking in one direction, after spending enough time, you will come across a vast and boundless area of ​​elemental disorder.

"It is because they are too close to the outside of Teyvat that the elements in these areas are abnormally turbulent. They are either extremely cold or extremely hot, with no wind or no water. The area is barren for hundreds of miles, and thunder turns into the sea, which is completely unsuitable for the survival of any living thing.

"Once you can pass through these areas, you can reach the border of Teyvat. However, the life inside Teyvat probably can't get out. As long as you go outside the border, you will be like a ghost wall and go around in circles. This is what the ambitious people within the organization have discovered over the past few hundred years.

"So, you understand the connection between the elimination of the Battle Hunters and the Ice God's disbanding of the Fatui? The organization believes that the fear of danger outside the borders is one of the reasons why the Ice God is trying to increase his power."

"..."

So Alice was originally responsible for dealing with the Four Heavenly Kings?

Thinking of Alice’s last question, “What if I can’t wait for Kelly to grow up?”, Wang Chen felt a headache again.

It seems like it is a very dangerous job indeed. If she is the only one responsible for maintaining the entire border of Teyvat... She has been separated from her daughter less and less even when she can teleport, and she feels embarrassed to say anything.

If you want to blame someone, blame Alice's boss for not hiring more employees.

But it may not be Alice's problem. The Four Heavenly Kings came here five hundred years ago. What happened at that time was beyond the control of heaven. They are still sleeping until now. Maybe they have found some loophole.

After pondering, Wang Chen said to Ryan, who was waiting for him to digest the information, "I understand it all."

"Okay! Next is the information about the magic sword that you are most interested in.

"Among the four kings of the combat hunters, only two have survived the battle: the magic sword and the magic ring. The other two kings and the leader of the combat hunters were sacrificed whenever they met. There is no valuable information at the moment.

"First, let's talk about this magic sword. Its appearance is the same as the one you have seen. Its main ability is to pull the spirit of the person it touches into the illusion.

"One second in reality becomes one day in its illusion. Once lost in the illusion, the spirit will be trapped in the magic sword forever and become an actor in the illusion.

"It is said that in that illusion, except for the people that one is particularly familiar with who are simulated by memory, everyone else is a trapped spirit. They can only play the role of puppets endlessly in that illusion where one day in the outside world lasts 236 years inside."

Thinking of his experience in the illusion, Wang Chen felt a chill down his spine.

In addition to his own family, passers-by on several streets, staff and passengers in the entire high-speed rail station, neighbors in his hometown who he was not very familiar with, doctors and patients in the clinic, his sister's roommate, and neighbors next door who were disturbed by him in the middle of the night, are all these people trapped?

Are they lives that once existed and were real?

He suddenly remembered that the two-meter-tall burly man who knocked on his door in the middle of the night and was scared away was the chief instructor!

With every day that passes, the chief instructor and those trapped people will repeat the same illusion for 236 years!

The hill people of Kanreya had only lived for 500 years... but they were caught up in less than three days in the illusion. What an inhuman torture...

"Crack!" He heard a sound coming from his left cheek, and realized that it was caused by his teeth biting too hard. His heart was trembling, and his eyes were wide open as if spitting fire, "Damn beast!"

Where neither he nor Ryan could see, five extra eyes were struggling to open wide.

Ryan remained silent, and waited for Wang Chen to calm down before continuing:

“Once you fall into the magic sword’s illusion, your body will be controlled by it. There are two ways to escape its control.

"First, just break contact with the magic sword. Second, repeat a certain action in the illusion for a whole day, and it will eventually manifest in the external body within the corresponding second."

This is how the chief instructor warned himself and committed suicide...

Ryan paused and said, "Actually, I have some news that's neither good nor bad."

"what?"

"On the night of the rainstorm, someone saw Wilbur Cobb swimming eastwards at Eagle Beach. That should have been after he encountered you."

"Chief Instructor, he has severely damaged his heart... How could this happen?"

"This is another ability of the magic sword. It can absorb life energy without resistance to heal the host. This means that Wilbur Cobb is most likely still alive. However... six days have passed now. Even if we can rescue him, I don't know if his spirit has collapsed..."

"What about the follow-up of the magic sword entering the sea? Have you followed it?"

Ryan shook his head:

“The comrades at the scene didn’t know what had happened, so they didn’t dare to approach rashly, and they didn’t follow it. There was no trace of the magic sword afterwards.

“However, the Magic Sword and the Magic Ring are the two most active kings. Now that the Combat Hunter has revived, we will meet them again one day.

“I’ll also tell you about the magic ring. In terms of power, it is stronger than the magic sword and is more worthy of caution.

"The magic ring also has the ability to absorb life energy without resistance to heal the host, and it can also pull a person's spirit into a fantasy world. Moreover, the range of its pulling people is much greater than that of the magic sword. As long as it touches the host's body, the host will be pulled in.

“The speed of time in the Lord of the Rings is the same as in the outside world, but it is pitch black there, without the sky, earth, sun, or moon. It is like a void. Anyone who enters that realm will fall endlessly.

“As I was falling, I could only see many other trapped people falling in the darkness. I couldn’t do anything else, I couldn’t move, and even my voice couldn’t be heard.

"Similarly, once you enter the illusion of the Ring, your body will be controlled by it. If you want to get rid of its control, you can only cut off contact. We haven't found a way to influence reality from the illusion, so if you encounter the Ring alone, you will definitely die."

"It seems that they all target the mental power. Perhaps if the mental power is strong enough, it will not be affected?"

"Who knows? Even if that's true, it's not easy to train mental strength. These guys escaped two hundred years ago and are back now. I wonder if they brought new ones with them."

Ryan looked depressed.

"The organization has sent volunteers to explore the border of Teyvat. If nothing goes wrong, we will receive news from the border in a while."

The border of Teyvat has become increasingly fragile in the past two years, this is what Alice said in the game.

Wang Chen felt a headache. The more he knew, the more dangerous Teyvat seemed to him. The people of Teyvat were not worrying about the border for no reason. The border might really collapse...
