Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

The elegy of the nectar flower sea has not yet faded away, and the air is filled with the weeping hum of water elemental elves and a faint, sweet fragrance with a hint of sadness.

Su Xun held the sleeping little Nashida in his arms. The ball of light in his arms emitted a peaceful and soft glow, which was out of tune with the environment filled with the sorrow of the deceased gods.

Fucaros's question, filled with vigilance and sadness, seemed to still linger in his ears, but Su Xun's figure had dissipated like water vapor in the moonlight and water waves.

He did not go far, but used the power of dust combined with the power of space to quietly open up a temporary, isolated micro space under a hidden water rock layer outside the sea of ​​flowers.

It was silent here, with only the faint elegy of the water elves coming from above, like a distant background sound.

"Huh..." Su Xun let out a light breath and looked down at the small figure curled up in the ball of light in his arms.

Nashida was sleeping soundly, her long silver hair flowing in the soft light, her little face was peaceful, and her long eyelashes cast light shadows under her eyelids, like an innocent moonlight elf.

Looking at her pure and innocent sleeping face, the slight ripples in Su Xun's heart caused by being accidentally involved in the scene of Egolia's fall instantly subsided, and was replaced by a heavy sense of responsibility and tenderness called "father".

"It's time to send you home, little Nashida." Su Xun's voice was as soft as a whisper, his fingertips were surrounded by a mixture of emerald green and silver-white light, and he gently tapped on the ball of light that enveloped Nashida.

He activated the mark that Buyel left on Nashida, and at the same time injected his own pure Qi as a guide.

The light ball lit up slightly, and the dormant power in Nashida's body, which originated from the World Tree, was gently awakened. A faint but extremely clear sense of guidance, like an invisible thread, penetrated the barrier of space and pointed to the core of the huge World Tree root system deep in the Xumi Rainforest.

"The World Tree is calling for its new branches..." Su Xun felt the call and understood it in his heart.

He once again reinforced the protective light ball around Nashida to ensure that she would not be disturbed by any external forces during her sleep.

Afterwards, holding the ball of light, he left the temporary space silently like a fish swimming in the elements, and followed the guidance, sneaking towards the depths of the underground of Xumi.

Travel through dense rainforests, pass by ancient ruins, and delve into intricate underground caves.

The closer you get to the core, the richer and heavier the breath of life and rhythm of wisdom in the air become.

Finally, he arrived at a space of indescribable grandeur.

This is not a cave in the ordinary sense. It is more like a realm independent of the world, composed of pure life energy and wisdom rules.

The huge roots emitting a soft emerald light are like giant pillars supporting the heaven and earth, intertwined and winding, forming the dome and four walls of this space.

Mysterious runes flow on the surface of the roots, which are the embodiment of Teyvat's wisdom and memory.

In the center of the space is a calm, emerald green pool that exudes a strong breath of life - this is not real water, but the gathering of the original power of the World Tree.

This place is the core of the World Tree and the hub of Teyvat's information cycle.

Su Xun's arrival did not cause a violent reaction in the core, because Nashida itself was part of the World Tree. Her breath was like a tired bird returning to its nest, naturally blending into this grand pulse of life.

He held the ball of light and slowly landed on the edge of the emerald green pool.

The "ground" under your feet is made of pure energy, and stepping on it feels like walking on warm jade.

He lowered his head, looking at his daughter sleeping in the ball of light, feeling extremely reluctant to let her go.

After this farewell, there will be five hundred years of loneliness and growth, and also the suffering of being misunderstood and imprisoned by the Governing Council.

"Don't be afraid, Nashida." Su Xun's voice was low and firm, with a promise that transcended time and space, "Father knows what you will go through. Those dark times are the tempering of growth, and they are also the only way to see people's hearts and accumulate strength.

Remember, you are not alone, the World Tree is with you, and your father's eyes will eventually travel through time and fall on you again. For Xumi, for the future, and for... seeing your mother again, sleep peacefully. "

He leaned over and carefully placed the ball of light that wrapped around Nashida, as if placing the most precious seed, gently into the center of the calm emerald green pool.

The moment the light ball touched the surface of the pool, it did not cause a ripple. Instead, it was like a drop of water merging into the sea, silently accepted and wrapped by the majestic and gentle power of the origin of life.

The emerald green light gently seeps into the light ball, nourishing the little god within.

The ball of light slowly sank and eventually disappeared into the deep green, leaving only a stable and faint life mark representing Nashida's existence in Su Xun's perception, like a star sinking into the deep sea.

The pool was still as calm as a mirror, as if nothing had happened. But Su Xun knew that Nashida had returned safely and began her long and destined extraordinary journey of sleeping.

She will absorb the power of the World Tree here and grow in sleep, until five hundred years later, when the gears of fate turn and she naturally wakes up, is discovered by the Academy of Teachings and welcomed back to the Jingshan Palace - as a "newborn, ignorant god."

After settling Nashida, Su Xun finally felt relieved. He took a last deep look at the core of the world tree that gave birth to his daughter and would witness her lonely growth. His eyes were complex, with both reluctance and expectations for the future.

"Now, it's time to go back." He whispered to himself, his eyes sharpening. Five hundred years later, Liyue still had his wives waiting for him, especially Ganyu, who had just resonated with him, and...Buyer, who was sleeping in the cracks of time.

He needs to go back to the time when he left.

Su Xun closed his eyes and sank his mind into the depths of his sea of ​​consciousness.

The power of time was awakened once again, and countless silver-white phantoms of time gears appeared, rotated, and meshed around him, making a low and grand humming sound, as if the pendulum of the universe began to reverse.

This time, he did not need to look for a distant anchor point in time and space. His goal was extremely clear—the moment he left the quiet room in the Su Mansion in Liyue!

His thoughts were like the strongest silk thread, firmly locking onto the "home coordinates" left in the quiet room - the invisible lighthouse woven by the power of dust and his own life breath.

It clearly points the way home, through the chaotic river of time.

Time sequence - return to the flow!

The phantom of the time gears around Su Xun suddenly burst out with a dazzling silver light!

The light engulfed him completely, forming a point of light that collapsed inward.

This time's crossing is much more difficult than the previous one.

It was not a problem of distance, but his act of forcibly intervening in the fall of the Great Compassionate Tree King and the turbulence of space and time caused by the purification of the abyss consciousness aggregate. It was like throwing a huge rock into the originally smooth river of time, causing huge ripples that have not yet completely subsided.

When he started his return journey and tried to go upstream to the correct node, he immediately felt a strong resistance from time and space!

The bizarre torrent of colors surrounded him again, and his perception of time became confused.

Fragments of the past, present and future flashed, overlapped and distorted rapidly before his eyes like broken mirrors.

He saw the smoke of the initial construction of Liyue Harbor, the Eternal Oath under the lightning of Inazuma, the dancing dandelions in the wind-blown land of Mondstadt, and even... he caught a glimpse of the sad blue-purple halo of the sea of ​​nectar flowers and the eyes of Fukaros filled with tears and confusion.

"Tsk... the disturbance is bigger than expected."

Su Xun frowned, trying his best to maintain his stability.

The power of darkness turned into the strongest barrier, resisting the crazy whispers and rule tearing contained in the turbulence of time and space.

The devouring power is like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea, madly absorbing and refining the chaotic energy that is rushing in, replenishing its own consumption, and maintaining the stability of the time channel.

He was like sailing a small boat, struggling upstream in the turbulent flow of time, concentrating on sensing the "home coordinates" that were getting closer and closer.

Liyue Harbor, Su Mansion.

It was late at night and the only sounds were the chirping of insects and the whisper of distant waves.

Ganyu did not fall asleep.

Ever since Su Xun entered the quiet room and started the mysterious time and space travel, the wonderful connection in her heart became extremely clear, but with a hint of uneasiness.

She sat alone in the courtyard, looking towards the quiet room, unconsciously stroking the "Pure Heart Glass Lily" that Su Xun had given her.

Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, as if being gripped by an invisible force! A strong sense of uneasiness instantly swept over her body.

"Axun..." She stood up involuntarily, her blue-purple eyes full of worry, "Are you in trouble?"

Almost at the same time that Ganyu felt her heart palpitating——

In the quiet room, the space twisted violently!

Countless silver-white phantoms of time gears flickered wildly and flickered unsteadily as if they were out of control!

The violent turbulence of time and space was like a real storm, raging in the narrow space, causing the rune array carefully engraved by Gui Zhong to flicker and almost disappear!

boom!

A dull bang sounded in the quiet room. It was not a physical explosion, but the sound of the annihilation of space-time energy!

The dazzling silver light exploded like broken stars!

Su Xun's figure staggered and appeared in the center of the silver light. His face was a little paler than usual. The corners of his bluish-white gown were torn into several tiny cracks by the invisible turbulence of time and space, and strange traces of space distortion remained on the edges.

The aura around him was fluctuating violently, and it was obvious that forcing his way through the turbulence of time and space on his way home had cost him a huge amount of energy.

The silver light quickly dissipated, and the quiet room returned to darkness. Only the runes engraved on the ground emitted a faint, ember-like blue light, and the hot and chaotic breath of time and space lingering in the air, proving the thrilling journey just now.

Su Xun steadied his body, took a deep breath, and calmed the surging blood and slightly disordered power in his body.

He checked himself immediately to make sure he had not brought back any "pollution" or "marks" from another time and space, and only then did he feel truly relieved.

He pushed open the door of the quiet room, and the cool moonlight and the fragrance of the colorful flowers in the courtyard poured in.

Gan Yu was standing not far from the door, with a look of lingering fear and deep worry on her face.

Seeing Su Xun appearing a little disheveled but safe and sound, her eyes instantly filled with tears. She quickly stepped forward and threw herself into his arms regardless of everything.

"Axun! You're back! Just now... I was so worried..." Her voice trembled with fear, and she hugged Su Xun tightly, as if she was afraid that he would disappear again.

Su Xun felt the soft body in his arms and the undisguised worry and dependence. A warm current surged in his heart, instantly dispelling the fatigue and coldness brought by the time travel.

He hugged Gan Yu tightly with his backhand, resting his chin lightly on the top of her head, and smelling the refreshing fragrance of her hair.

"Well, I'm back, Senior Sister." His voice was low and gentle, with a soothing force. "Things went well. Nashida has been safely sent back to the core of the World Tree to sleep. It's just... I encountered some time and space turbulence on the way back, which took a little effort."

He downplayed the dangers of the time travel, not wanting Ganyu to worry too much.

Gan Yu raised her head and looked at Su Xun carefully with tearful eyes. Her fingers gently stroked the traces on the corners of his clothes that were torn by the turbulence of time and space. Her eyes were full of heartache: "Next time... you must be more careful."

"Okay, listen to senior sister."

Su Xun smiled, wiped away the tears from her eyes, lowered his head and placed a gentle and cherishing kiss on her smooth forehead, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

The moonlight was like water, flowing quietly on the two people embracing each other.

In the courtyard, the colorful flowers swayed gently in the night breeze, as if silently celebrating the safety of the returnees.

The turbulent waves and confusion of time and space five hundred years ago finally turned into a warm hug and a gentle "I'm back" on this quiet night in Liyue Harbor.
