Genshin Impact: I was robbed at the beginning and I hated being ranked third!

Tianli saw that Maizeron had disappeared, and after carefully sensing it, he found that he could not find him, which meant that Maizeron had not gone to any timeline.

"Weird, his aura is so strange, it is indeed Istaru, but it is different."

"Closely sense the fluctuations of the Mark of Principle. You will be able to sense it the moment he appears."

After Tianli finished speaking, he turned into a golden stream of light and returned to Sky Island, while Kongzhi and Sizhao continued to pay attention to the movements in the abyss.

"A Place Where Time Exiles"

Shin and Yae Kamiko only felt dizzy for a moment, and when they came to their senses again, they found that they had come to an endless pure white space.

There was quicksand under their feet that was constantly flowing and gathering in one direction. Suddenly, Zhen and Yae Shinko felt something was wrong.

Next to Zhen, two figures who looked exactly like Zhen appeared.

It wasn't Ying and the general, or someone else. The three of them were obviously stunned. They never thought that after coming to this space, the three of them would become independent individuals.

"It's really new. Apart from the real space, this is the first time I've met the general like this."

"This body, this is not new. This space can separate this body, which means that the person who created this space is very familiar with us."

Zhen suddenly hugged the general from behind and put his head on the general's shoulder.

"Alright, alright, now that the three of us have manifested independently, we don't need to bother with this body anymore."

"You can call me General, call me Zhen or Sister, and you can call Ying Sister."

The general nodded. Yae Shinko was somewhat dissatisfied with being isolated and inserted herself among them.

"Hey! You three irresponsible gods, don't forget who has been supporting Inazuma for the past five hundred years."

"Now it's all right, you are showing your affection to me, have you ever considered my feelings?"

Yae Kamiko was so angry that even her ears stood up. Shin quickly touched her head and smoothed her fur.

"Alright, alright, Shenzi is also very capable. Thank you for your hard work over the years."

Yae Shinto snorted coldly and turned away without looking at the three people, and Zhen also smiled.

Then the four of them followed the quicksand and continued to move forward. They didn't know how long they had walked before a wooden house suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Why is there a wooden house in this place? Could it be that the creator of this space is inside it?"

As Zhen was speaking, he wanted to go forward and knock on the door but was stopped by the general, who then said to Zhen.

"Sister, let's be careful. I feel an inexplicable threat from here."

"This feeling is just like when Inazuma took Yang Ming back in time 500 years ago and encountered Tianli."

It was really unexpected. She didn't expect that the general and Ying would actually take Yang Ming back in time.

"You two dared to do anything while I was away. Even with the protection of the Pure Land and my consciousness space, the law of nature will still find out."

"Didn't you encounter justice during your retrospection?"

The general and Ying looked at each other. Through the look between the general and Ying, Zhen had already guessed that they had encountered Tianli when they went back in time.

"You really encountered Tianli, then how did you escape from Tianli?"

"The Crown of Heaven's Principle is the only one that can sense time. No matter how you try to hide, she can see it at a glance."

The general and Ying saw that they could no longer hide the truth, so they had to tell Zhen everything and described the situation.

After listening to the general and Ying's description, I suddenly understood.

"It is indeed Istaru, but why do Yang Ming and Istaru look exactly the same?"

"What on earth is Istaru planning?"

Then, just as they were discussing loudly outside the cabin, the door of the cabin suddenly opened, and a man wearing a white hood and with an unclear face walked out.

"Zhen, Xiaoying, General, and Miss Fox, who I haven't seen for a long time, have been standing outside the door for so long, don't you want to come in and sit for a while?"

"This shows that I have no hospitality skills. If you tell me about this now when you go back, I'm sure he will hate me as much as he will in the future."

Hearing this familiar voice, Zhen and Ying turned their heads in disbelief, while the general and Yae Shinko looked at the figure in front of them with some confusion.

"You are really you... Istaru, where have you been all these years? Do you know that we have been looking for you since the Demon War?"

Istaru shook his head, stepped aside, and gestured to them to come in.

However, before they could react, they had already appeared in the cabin.

Steaming hot tea was already placed in front of them. Compared to Zhenhehe who was not surprised, the general was a little surprised. As for Yae Shenzi, she had already fainted.

"Okay, now you should answer our questions. Why did you disappear after the Demon War? And why did the Kanreya War break out?"

"What exactly are you planning? Istaru, we don't want to be your pawns anymore."

Istaru picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked at Shin and Ying.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Maybe one more time, but I can guarantee that this will be the last time."

"I will answer your questions one by one. Don't worry. After all, we still have a lot of time, right?"

"Let me answer your first question first. Where did I go after the Demon God War?"

Then Istaru began to tell his story over the years.

"Since the Year of Burial Fire, Heaven has cursed the Fairies for some unknown reason. You know I cannot break the curse cast by the Crown of Reason and the Feather of Death. After I discovered the curse, I cast another curse on my Fairies."

"When their curse breaks out, their own time will forever remain at the moment when the curse breaks out."

"But you can't have overly intense emotions, otherwise it will trigger another effect of the curse. This effect can be understood as a protection mechanism. It will gradually wear away the emotions of the fairies until they become cold and emotionless machines."

"After all, my curse can only take effect when they are in a calm state. Otherwise, they will continue to degenerate due to the curse of heaven and eventually return to their original form."

"But from my perception, even though I have achieved this step, there are still many members of the Immortal Clan who have turned into primitive Immortals."

"Of course, this is important, but it is not the most important one. Ever since that great war, Tenli and other ruling powers have fallen into a deep sleep."

"Normally I should have fallen into a deep sleep, but I was worried about the fairies, Columbia, and you demons."

"I did not fall into a deep sleep, but hid in the land of time paradox. Only there can I avoid being monitored by the Crown of Heaven's Law."

"For thousands of years since then, I have been watching the development of Teyvat in the time paradox. I witnessed the start of the Demon War on Sky Island, and also witnessed the death of my former friends in this war."

"During this period, I met a very interesting elf. He was a wisp of wind among thousands, extremely weak, but he yearned for freedom very much."

"He accidentally entered the land of time paradox, and the cool breeze helped me to relieve my chaotic thoughts."

"From then on, I opened a time road just for him. Every 100 years, he would come to this place with what he saw and heard. He would tell me what he saw and heard."

"You know you'd go crazy if you didn't do anything in the endless hours, and my greatest pleasure was listening to him tell me stories."

Istaru took a sip of tea, and then Istaru's memories unfolded before them like a scroll.

The wind elf danced on Istaru's fingertips, and Istaru looked at the wind elf with a smile on her face.

“The wind brings the seeds of stories and time makes them germinate. It brings me many stories, making me no longer lonely in the endless time.”

"Finally, the Demon War began. I knew he couldn't escape his predetermined fate. After all, this wind elf is the future wind god Barbatos."

"I have seen his fate and his trajectory. My meeting with him was just destiny, but of course it is not a bad thing to become friends with him. Well. This is the wind elf I am talking about."

Istar's memory suddenly turned pages to the land of Liyue. This was Istar's perspective. In his perspective, Morax was standing on the void, looking down on the world, and under his feet were the lost demon gods one after another.

Among them, Zhen and Ying also recognized several old friends, including some who had a pleasant conversation with Morax, but at this moment they had all turned into cold corpses.

"This is Morax... I knew the war in Liyue was brutal, but I didn't expect it to be this brutal."

She really felt some pain in her chest, and seeing this, the general and Ying hurried to her side to comfort her.

"Your body is still so weak, even though you are a demon god. Of course, this is not a sarcasm, you know."

Zhen nodded, and then continued to watch Istaru's memory. Istaru witnessed the contract between the God of Demons Hagentus and the Demon God Morax, and also witnessed their relationship that was not a friendship, but the stone Morax did not react.

"The Demon God of Dust, Hagentus, whose name is Guizhong, is on the outside of the gathering of gods. However, because of his personality, he has a good impression among many demon gods."

"When the demon gods besieged Liyue, I saved Guizhong, who should have died in the attack. I preserved a trace of his soul and waited for the right time to revive him."

Then Istaru took out a blue bead and looked at it carefully. In the bead, there was a figure sleeping with eyes closed.

Zhen and Ying knew Guizhong. After all, when they had the King of Teyvat, they also knew many demons.

"But why do you want to do this? You are not a kind-hearted person. You will never touch anything that does not benefit you. Moreover, reviving the demon god is equivalent to standing against the law of nature, and you are one of the five rulers."

Istaru smiled and nodded, and finally picked up the bead that belonged to Guizhong.

"It was a deal, a deal between me and her. When he died, I paused time, came to her and proposed a deal. I helped Morax unify Liyue, and in exchange, her past and present as a demon god belonged to me, and her future belonged to her."

"She gladly accepted the deal, and in the end I kept my promise and unified Liyue, even though I provided some minor help behind the scenes."

"I have also made similar deals with other demon gods. Of course, I cannot tell you the content of the deal. After all, it concerns the privacy of the client."

Zhen looked at Istaru with a burning gaze, and Istaru continued to drink his tea calmly as his memories continued to unfold in front of the three of them.

Time quickly moved forward to the Kanreya War. The origin of this war was Kanreya. In the godless Kanreya, the gods were the biggest threat. In order to find the power to fight against the gods, they began to study ancient books and found many ancient countries destroyed by the law of nature.

After comparing the common points of the destruction of these ancient countries, they found the abyss. And because they found the abyss, the abyss appeared again in the world tree. As long as someone remembers the abyss, the abyss will exist.

Those who remember the abyss are like coordinates in the vast ocean; the abyss can always be found.

Kanreya not only provided the coordinates of the Abyss, but also attempted to study the Abyss to gain its power. However, the result was that six people who were tempted by the Abyss divided up the power from outside the world, and finally brought the Abyss into Teyvat.

Finally, God came to Kanreia with seven gods and destroyed Kanreia with a wave of his hand. However, the prince who escaped and the six sinners brought endless disasters to the seven countries.

Egolia, Shin, the first God of Fire, and the first God of Ice all died in the Kanreya War.

"Yes, I was in despair at the time and thought I was going to die. Unexpectedly, you appeared in front of me again. So I want to ask you what my memory is after that?"

Zhen looked at Istaru. Although she remembered that she had made a deal with Istaru, she only remembered fragments of the deal.

Istarulu planted the sacred cherry tree 500 years ago as an insurance for Yinghe General 500 years later.

Istaru did not answer Zhen, but drank tea silently. She did not seem to intend to answer, knowing that as long as Istaru did not want to say it, there was nothing others could do.

"You will know what you want to know when the time comes. But isn't life bad now?"

The moment Zhen and Ying shook their heads and confirmed their relationship with Yang Ming, they had already decided that no matter what happened to the world, they would always stand by his side.

"I didn't expect that I'm so charming now. Please don't confuse the three of us. I'm a remnant of the old times. I'm powerless to save this world that is about to collapse."

"But if the two of them might have a chance of success, well, you know enough, go back, let nature take its course, and let time change."
