I picked up this little grass god.

Liu Lian is now twenty years old, and Liu Bai is over forty years old in this life.

In fact, ten years ago, Nashida noticed the changes in Liu Bai's body, from a teenager to a middle-aged man...

She tried many methods, including life-extending drugs, the power of time, dog charms, magic from the Witch Society, and wine soaked in branches of the World Tree, but none of them could delay Liu Bai's changes.

It was as if some mysterious force had locked Liu Bai's life trajectory, preventing him from being interfered with in any way, whether good or bad.

"These are not wrinkles, they are the vicissitudes of life... Wait, girl, you don't think I'm too old, do you?"

Liu Bai touched the place Nashida said, and then spoke with a shocked look on his face.

"No..."

"Even if you become an old man, I will always be with you."

Nashida gently hugged Liu Bai's head and spoke softly.

"Well, girl, you are so nice..."

"Well, I am indeed getting a bit old. How about tonight..."

Liu Bai asked tentatively.

"it is good."

Nashida agreed without hesitation.

……

In the next sixty years, Xumi's technology advanced by leaps and bounds, with the emergence of medical technology, ring-shaped suspended highways, Xumi's high-speed trains, simulated solar energy centers, artificial moons, all-Teyvat communication and navigation satellites, desert oasis conversion technology, and so on.

Under the impact of this technological explosion, Xumi has turned into a futuristic sci-fi city.

Fortunately, the Xumi people love plants, which is ingrained in their DNA. Therefore, the city’s greening is very well done, and air and water purification technologies are also at the forefront of research.

Since there is no demand for war, there has been no progress in war weapons.

However, it is worth mentioning that the shockwave left behind a lot of orange-yellow minerals all over Teyvat, which are now called Emperor's Rock.

It contains powerful energy and can be used as clean energy, which also indirectly promotes the technological development of various countries.

"Girl..."

Inside the Jingshan Palace, an old, white-haired man raised his skinny hand and gently stroked the cheek of the girl in front of him.

"Dad, it's me."

Liu Lian responded softly.

Being a half-human, half-god, she initially developed at a similar speed to humans, but after becoming a young girl, she stopped growing and has remained in this appearance for more than sixty years.

"It's Xiaolian... I seem to remember something..."

Liu Bai opened his cloudy eyes and struggled to sit up from the bed. Liu Lian hurriedly supported him.

"Dad, what did you remember?"

Liu Lian sat beside the bed, holding his hand and asked with concern.

"When Dad and your mom got married... they forgot to invite you..."

Feeling the temperature and touch similar to Nashida, Liu Bai spoke in a weak voice.

"Yeah, it's okay, Dad. I'll definitely invite you when I get married anyway."

Liu Lian comforted Liu Bai.

"What? You want to get married? No! Dream on! Your father won't allow it!"

Liu Bai, who was originally very old, seemed to have suddenly become younger and sat up straight on the bed.

"Oh, Dad, no, I was just kidding, don't get excited."

This scene made Liu Lian feel a little amused and helpless, so she had to comfort him quickly.

"Um……"

Liu Bai soon calmed down again.

"Actually... Dad used to cook delicious food..."

"Dad's specialty, calf and pork noodles, the girl praised it highly..."

Liu Bai, who had calmed down again, held Liu Lian's hand and spoke with some nostalgia.

"Ah."

"Actually, I really like the food you cook, Dad. It tastes very special."

Liu Lian responded gently.

In this way, Liu Lian always stayed with Liu Bai, talking to him tirelessly.

Although she had awakened many abilities that only Liu Bai possessed, she could not slow down Liu Bai's aging no matter what she did.

Since Liu Bai was unable to get out of bed, he tried taking fried eggs himself, but even those couldn't fight his aging.

In the next few days, Nashida and Liu Lian stayed by Liu Bai's side, watching him grow weaker but unable to do anything.

The amplification provided by Amplification 15 still exists on Liu Bai, but as his body ages, his basic values ​​are infinitely approaching zero, causing the amplification multiplier of nearly 1000% to be useless.

Until one moment, Liu Bai's hand, which was gently stroking Nashida's cheek, suddenly fell to the ground and died.

"noob!"

Nashida's pupils contracted, and she quickly moved forward, trying her best to make her dream come true, wanting to do something.

……

The news of Liu Bai's death spread quickly and could not be concealed. Some elderly people who once had such concerns and are now over 100 years old sighed secretly.

The news soon reached Funina's ears.

"I won the bet that day, Buel..."

"But why can't I be happy at all..."

When she heard the name again, her heart was still touched, even though she had actively tried to forget it.

Nata, the master of the smoke riddle.

"Yes, he is a hero, but he is only human."

It was rare for her to recall this name. While helping Olorun take care of his grandson, Xitrali shook her head and sighed.

On the other hand, Mavica had already resigned from the position of God of Fire.

She was just a human being and did not seek immortality, so she did not monopolize the dog talisman and lent it to Nashida.

But a few years later, Nashida returned the dog charm and told her that it was useless to Liu Bai.

Although she now uses the props given by Liu Bai to prevent herself from looking like an old lady, her life is nearing the end.

After learning about this, she nodded helplessly and then closed her eyes to rest.

Liyue Port, Rebirth Hall.

Now, Hu Tao's grandson serves as the 79th head of the Wangsheng Hall. In order not to cause trouble to the Wangsheng Hall, Zhongli said goodbye to the elderly Hu Tao long ago, pretended to have passed away due to old age, and left the Wangsheng Hall.

On this day, Wangsheng Hall received an order from Xumi.

Returning to one's roots is one of the things that the people of Liyue care about most.

On the other side, inside the already completed underground super-large Rock Dragon Palace.

“Allies! My allies, why did you leave? Wuwuwu…!”

Ruoli cried out in grief, and the whole earth wept with her.

Rice wife, castle tower.

"Even a strong man like him cannot be eternal..."

Kneeling in front of the attic and gazing at the sky, General Lei Dian muttered to himself with his eyes flickering.

At this moment, Lei Dianzhen slowly walked over, knelt beside her, and comforted her softly.

Angel's Gift Tavern, Mondstadt.

When Wendy learned of this, she could only take a few sips of wine in sorrow.

To winter, to the Winter Palace.

The Ice Queen brought the executive officers to pay tribute in front of Liu Bai's cenotaph.

Buried here is the executive coat that Liu Bai returned when he resigned.

……

The two travelers and Paimon who left Teyvat decades ago also temporarily returned to Teyvat after Liu Bai's funeral.

Since they missed the funeral, they had to come to Xumi.

As the husband of the Lord of Great Auspiciousness and Wisdom, his death naturally deserves a moment of silence by the whole country. Today, white lanterns and other funeral decorations are still left everywhere in Xumi.

Arriving at Jingshan Palace, Ying and Kong met Nashida, who was staring at Liu Bai's clothes on the bed in a daze.

"Is he...really gone?"

Ying asked Nashida in a trembling voice.

"Well, he's gone..."

Nashida nodded in response, then shifted her attention away from Liu Bai's clothes.

"Did he... leave anything behind?"

Ying, who didn't have the chance to see him for the last time, couldn't help but continue asking.

"He left behind only a few relics, and I am one of them."

Nashida answered calmly.
