Genshin Impact: Our journey will never end

Satiated

Paimon and Ying said goodbye to Kinichi and others and went to the hotel to rest so that they could be in good spirits to watch tomorrow's Return of Fire Holy Night Parade.

....

"Kun Kun Kun!"

With a loud rooster crow, the sun, like an energetic athlete, suddenly pulled down the moon, which was still holding its position, as if saying, "It's my turn!"

At the hotel entrance, Kinich, Malani, Katsina and others had been waiting for a long time. Some of them were talking excitedly, while others were looking around anxiously. Everyone's face was filled with anticipation.

Of course, the most eye-catching one is the great holy dragon Kuhule Acho.

The inn was bustling with people, all dressed in a variety of costumes, like a grand folk costume show. There were the Hanging Wood People, whose clothing was adorned with intricate wood carvings; the Echo Sons, whose clothing was brightly colored and uniquely patterned; and the Flowing Springs, whose clothing was more simple and natural.

"The game is about to begin. Audiences who have not yet entered, please go to the auditorium and take your seats. I repeat, audiences who have not yet entered, please go to the auditorium and take your seats..." The staff's shouts echoed in the crowd, reminding people to find their seats as soon as possible.

After hearing the voice, Paimon hurriedly took the traveler's hand and walked towards the stands together, ready to cheer for Katsina and others.

....

Inside the Arena

"The Return of the Flame Night Parade has a long history. Everyone knows about it, and everyone hopes to achieve excellent results in the parade and qualify to participate in the [Night Watchers War]. Although it is already a cliché, let me introduce the general rules: After the opening ceremony, the contestants will have team competitions and individual competitions..." The host patiently introduced the rules of the Return of the Flame Night Parade.

To put it simply, it's about grabbing the Flame of Competition and bringing it back to the arena. Only by passing the team competition can you qualify to participate in the individual competition. The top five people in points will have the opportunity to participate in the [Night Watchman War].

"Next, let us welcome Lord Vulcan to deliver his opening speech with the warmest applause!"

As the host's passionate and energetic voice slowly faded, the entire arena seemed to be instantly ignited by a mysterious force. A raging fire suddenly surged up, spreading rapidly and rising continuously. Slowly, the flames unexpectedly gathered into a huge fire tornado. The fire tornado was majestic and powerful, like a roaring beast, spinning wildly, and the flames danced wantonly, illuminating the entire sky. Waves of heat spread out in all directions, making everyone present feel the shock of the power of the God of Fire.

As everyone marveled, the tornado gradually vanished, and a woman, like a fire spirit, emerged with graceful and confident strides. Her flaming red, knee-length hair seemed to dance with fiery light. She wore a tight-fitting black motorcycle jacket, expertly designed. A sunburst, symbolizing the god of fire, was clearly emblazoned on her left thigh. The golden lines stood out against the black backdrop, evoking the god's glory and majesty. Bold cutouts at the waist and back perfectly defined her alluring hips and legs, projecting a sense of strength while retaining a touch of femininity and sensuality. She was like the sun among the Nata people, illuminating every dark night wherever she went, igniting every dormant spark, and giving everyone the courage to forge ahead. The entire arena was engulfed in a passionate and reverent atmosphere.

"Strength, form, luck, strategy... there are many factors that determine strength, but victory and defeat never lie. The Return of the Flame Holy Night Parade is not only a test to determine the strongest, but also the best stage to showcase your growth and progress."

"Today's victory will be the beginning of another legendary story. I declare the start of the competition!" Mavica's standard royal aristocratic voice echoed in the arena.

[Liyue LSP: Oh my god! Is this the God of Fire? Such great evil!]

[Klee: Okay, the assessment is complete. Lord Vulcan is a villain. The bigger the shield, the worse the Devil King Dudu is.]

[Xingqiu: Water Dragon King's perspective]

Keqing: Is this... Nata's god? So cool!

[Kaeya: A close-up shot with clear meaning. The system understands us. Bennett, you can't be outdone by her. I've always believed that you are the God of Fire.]

Bennett: Captain Kaeya, please stop joking.

[Yaejinko: The aura of a leader, Ying, what do you think? ]

Nashida: Mavica's ancient name is "Kyangozi," symbolizing her status and power as a leader.

[Shadow: Five hundred years ago, when I arrived in Kanria, I saw a vast expanse of scorched earth on the battlefield, no less vast than the narrow expanse of the Wuxiang Blade. I heard that it was the wrath of the God of Fire. And now, I have the opportunity to meet such a human being. Traveler, please introduce me to her. I would like to exchange ideas with her.]

[Alice: I have a standard royal voice]

[Coral Palace Heart Sea: I don't know why, but a sentence suddenly popped up in my mind: Welcome to the Holy Flame Arena. All competitors have five seconds to reach the arena. Please prepare yourselves and attack with all your strength.]

[Katsina: Lord Kagami was an ordinary person before he became a god, and he was already the most powerful in all of Nata. I will always support Lord Kagami.]

[Funina: I can feel the blazing flames through the screen, and her hair glows.]

[Wendy: Glowing? That's not easy? When we use elemental power, our hair will glow.]

[Paimon: So, when the lady was bullying you, you didn't even show your little braid. You gave her an overly generous hand, which gave her an illusion and caused her to die at Inazuma's hands.]

[Wendy: Hey]

....

As the God of Fire's voice, full of majesty and nobility, fell, the contestants from various tribes seemed to have their fighting spirit ignited. They all boarded the hot air balloons and rushed towards the competition venue like arrows.

The atmosphere at the competition was incredibly lively, with the audience's cheers and shouts rising and falling, seemingly tearing the sky apart. Yet, amidst this fervor, Chaska of the Flower Language Club remained remarkably calm. Her movements were graceful and skillful, as she effortlessly navigated the hot air balloon, pulling away from the lead and ultimately taking first place without a doubt.

Meanwhile, the new pair of Katsina and Malani also performed well. Working in perfect harmony, they overcame many strong favorites and became the focus of everyone's attention.

Elsewhere, Ianshan of Volu was hot on the trail. Though slightly behind Chaska, he maintained a steady distance. Finally, after a fierce chase, Ianshan reached the finish line.

However, the competition didn't end there. Next, the contestants had to collect the scattered Flames of Competition. Malani demonstrated her exceptional skill, darting through the mountains like lightning, quickly collecting each Flame.

When all the Flames of Competition were collected, Marani jumped on her surfboard without hesitation and, pulling Katsina along, rushed into the Gap Spirit Path. This mysterious passage, crossing mountains and seas, was filled with unknown challenges and dangers.

"I—I really want to win once!" Katsina's voice echoed through the valley, filled with a thirst for victory and determination. "I want to win the [Holy Night of Returning Flame] and become a true warrior!"

[Kaeya: Is this Yugi Spiritual Path serious?]

Qiqi: Spiritual Path…herb picking…convenient, escaping…walnut…convenient.

[Klee: Klee wants to play too. It must be fun to drop bouncing bombs on it.]

Alice: Come on, come on, this summer Mommy will take you to Nata, then to Fontainebleau for fish frying, and finally to Inazuma to find the little fox.

[Yaejinko: Damn! Don't get close to me, get out!]

Charlotte: Hmm...why are the Traveler and Paimon like cameras the whole time?

[Ying: I can’t participate…it’s not my fault that I’m the cameraman]

[Paimon: That's right, I get angry when I think about people calling her a yellow-haired camera, humph!]

Bennett: I don't know why, but after setting foot on the land of Nata, I felt like I was back home. It seems like nothing bad has happened to me.

【Mona: You are originally from Nata! 】

[Kaeya: Why does Mondstadt now give me the feeling of a hearth house?]

[Mavica: Sinoning, my car broke down]

【Xinonen: Go away, I won’t repair it! 】
