Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Without time to think, Su Xun immediately entered the sea of ​​consciousness.

In the blink of an eye, the sea of ​​consciousness filled with stars appeared in front of Su Xun.

He looked around and saw the stars shining brightly, like countless diamonds inlaid in the night sky, beautiful and mysterious.

However, this peaceful and beautiful scene did not last long, as Su Xun soon sensed a strange fluctuation.

Deep in his sea of ​​consciousness, a vague black shadow was slowly condensing, as if some kind of will was trying to take root here.

Su Xun frowned, and his figure flashed, and the next moment he appeared in front of the consciousness.

"What on earth is this thing?" Looking at this long, black shadow with bulging sides, Su Xun was a little confused.

It's a bit like a lizard and a bit like a snake, but it has an ancient and powerful aura that is elusive.

Su Xun stared at the black shadow, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

It looks like a lizard and a snake, could it be... a dragon? !

Is this Durin's consciousness? !

Thinking of this, Su Xun was shocked. He looked carefully again and found that it was indeed in the shape of a dragon, but it was a western dragon, similar to Tevarin.

After thinking about it, Su Xun used a trace of his consciousness to touch the black shadow, trying to establish a connection with it.

Suddenly, the black shadow trembled violently, and Su Xun immediately felt a strong fluctuation of consciousness, as if something was trying to communicate with him.

He frowned, trying his best to understand the message conveyed by this wave of consciousness.

"Mother... beautiful dragon... poet... friend... I'm sorry..." These words entered Su Xun's mind intermittently, as if describing a memory, or seeking some kind of connection.

Su Xun concentrated his mind and tried to establish a deeper communication with this wave.

"Who are you?" This question came to Su Xun's mind.

The black shadow trembled again, as if trying to express something.

Su Xun waited patiently. He felt that this consciousness seemed full of confusion and loneliness.

"I... am Du Lin..." Finally, a weak voice sounded in Su Xun's sea of ​​consciousness.

It was indeed Du Lin's consciousness! Su Xun suddenly realized.

He was silent for a while, then asked, "...Du Lin, you broke into my sea of ​​consciousness in order to take over my body?"

Although Su Xun knew that Durin was naive and thought they were playing together until the battle with Tevarin, and was even willing to die in the end, Su Xun still had to be wary of what it might do that might harm itself.

“…possess…a body?” There was a hint of confusion in Du Lin’s voice, as if he didn’t understand the concept of possessing a body.

“…I…want to be with…the beautiful dragon…” Du Lin’s voice gradually faded away, as if he was trying to recall something but was unable to fully express it.

"Do you want to make friends with Tevarin?" After thinking for a while, Su Xun asked softly.

It seemed that the name Tevarin stimulated Du Lin, and his consciousness trembled slightly, as if responding to Su Xun's words. "Yes... yes... I... I want..."

After hearing Du Lin's intermittent response, Su Xun already understood.

Perhaps the reason why Durin's consciousness has not dissipated for hundreds of years is because he has always wanted to make friends with Tevarin, to the point that it has become an obsession.

After a moment's silence, Su Xun made a decision.

"If I can get you to be friends with Tevarin, will you forget everything and start over?"

Du Lin's consciousness showed a slight fluctuation at Su Xun's suggestion, but it did not hesitate at all.

"...I am willing to...make friends...with...the beautiful dragon..."

Su Xun nodded slightly. In that case, he would help Du Lin fulfill his wish, revive it, and bring it back to the world in a different form.

As for the reason for doing this, it was simply because Su Xun wanted a dragon as a pet.

Su Xun is not a person who is too sympathetic to help a dragon that did evil hundreds of years ago out of sympathy, even if the dragon caused many lives to suffer disasters because of its ignorance.

In Su Xun's view, every life should be responsible for its own actions, whether it is out of ignorance or intentional.

Therefore, he decided to let Du Lin's memory completely disappear, turn it into a blank sheet of paper, and start its life journey again.

Only in this way can Du Lin be truly reborn, break away from the shadow of the past, and become a brand new being.

Well…and then serve him better.

As for making it friends with Tevarin, it was just a matter of convenience.

Su Xun took a deep breath and began to guide his mental power, carefully peeling away the memory fragments in Du Lin's consciousness.

This process requires extremely delicate operation. Any carelessness may lead to the collapse of Du Lin's consciousness. Only because Su Xun has no feelings for Du Lin can he do it with confidence.

As time went by, Durin's memory was gradually cleared, and his consciousness became more and more transparent and pure.

Finally, with Su Xun's efforts, Du Lin's memory was completely erased, and its consciousness became completely blank, waiting to be filled with new memories.

Su Xun breathed a sigh of relief. The next thing to do was to implant Du Lin into a new body, allowing it to be reborn with a new life form.

He closed his eyes and began to construct Durin's new body in his own mental world.

The body was still in the shape of a dragon, but all features associated with Western dragons had been removed. It looked exactly like the Eastern dragon in his memory.

When Du Lin's new body was constructed, Su Xun opened his eyes and looked at the withered heart in front of him.

He just raised his left hand, and the blood that was almost dried up in his heart suddenly emerged, gathered above the palm of Su Xun's left hand, and then began to reshape according to the image he had constructed in his mind.

Su Xun slowly introduced Du Lin's already transparent consciousness into the blood, and at the same time used his mental power to guide the blood to flow in a predetermined form, shaping the heart, blood vessels, muscles, bones...

Su Xun completed every detail very carefully, as if he was carving a work of art.

As time passed, a new life gradually took shape in Su Xun's palm. It possessed the majesty and mystery of the Eastern Dragon, and also contained a new vitality.

When this step was completed, Su Xun breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.

But it was not over yet. Su Xun raised his right hand, and as his mind moved, an extremely deep and dark force suddenly appeared in his palm.

Looking at the power in his hand, Su Xun muttered to himself: "Demonic Dragon Durin? A puppet of the abyss? No, this time, you will become a true dark dragon! The abyss will prostrate itself under your endless dragon might!"

As he spoke, Su Xun slowly merged this dark power into Du Lin's new body, allowing them to completely become one!
