Genshin Impact: After entering the card pool, I kicked away the knife and stabbed myself

My name is Hu Lan, and I’m a member of the Thousand Rocks Army. Once, in order to defend Liyue, I fought against ferocious beasts in the Layered Abyss with my brothers.

Unfortunately, the beasts were too powerful. Even with a legendary immortal, a Yaksha leading us, we were unable to completely repel the hateful beasts.

The brothers suffered heavy casualties, and when they saw that the beasts were likely to be released from the Layered Rock Abyss to invade Liyue, the nameless Yaksha brother found an underground palace. He said that this underground palace could suppress the beasts, and if all the beasts could be led into the underground palace, Liyue would not be persecuted.

I am very grateful to my Yaksha brothers. No matter whether I knew the ending later or now, I know clearly what terrible impact these terrible beasts will cause once they escape from the Layered Rock Abyss, because I have fought with them.

And my most important daughter is still on the ground.

Although, we agreed to meet again, and I will take her to play with me during the Lantern Festival...

Sorry, daughter, daddy has to break the promise.

For the Emperor, for Liyue, and also to... prevent these ferocious beasts from having the chance to harm you!

Thousands of rocks are solid and heavy peaks are immovable!

Hu Lan resolutely joined the advance team that acted as bait to lure the ferocious beast into the underground palace, following the Yaksha brothers and jumping into the bottomless chasm.

In the early stage, the results of the battle were impressive. As expected by the Yaksha brothers, the beasts were suppressed by the underground palace and were no longer as fierce as before. But when the beasts completely disappeared, their doomsday also came.

In the dark underground palace where there is no peace, his comrades disappeared and died one by one. The only thing that supported Hu Lan's will to live was his daughter's obsession with waiting for him to return home in Liyue.

Maybe... As long as Brother Rong Zhao returns to Liyue and tells the immortals the news... No, even the Yaksha brothers can't solve the problem. Perhaps only the Emperor can save them.

When the Emperor returns victorious from the distant battlefield and learns the news from Brother Rong Zhao and the others, he will come under this layer of rock, find them, and bring them home...

The brothers in the underground palace have different perceptions of time. As the only smart person in the team, Brother Boyang quickly discovered this. After all, he is a sorcerer, and it is said that he is also friends with Minghai Qixia Zhenjun.

Brother Boyang also told his brothers the horror of this news. They had no way of judging the time that had passed in the outside world.

In other words, even if it feels like a year has passed, it is very likely that only one day has passed in Liyue.

But, who knows?

It's better to hold on a little longer, maybe the Emperor will come...

But there was no fixed time, and the rescue that might not come gradually overwhelmed Hu Lan. The simple thought in his mind made Hu Lan almost unable to hold on. He could only rely on the letters written by Brother Boyang and others in the team who could write, the handwriting on the letters, and the hope for Rong Zhao and others who did not enter the underground palace, as well as the firm belief in the nearly omnipotent Emperor, to barely hold on for a while.

There were only a few people left in the team, and today, Hu Lan saw his daughter.

“Nannan, why are you in such a dangerous place?! Go, go! The Emperor will come to take me back to Liyue Harbor to find you, don’t take risks alone! You must live a happy life, marry a good husband when you grow up, and then give birth to some children as cute as you were when you were a child…”

After being under mental pressure for an unknown period of time, Hu Lan felt that she had actually gone crazy. When she saw her daughter, she said a lot of confusing words.

Tears immediately streamed down his face. He saw Nannan smiling and opening her arms: "Daddy, I'm here to take you home."

"Okay, okay, Nannan, let's go home."

He must be dead.

Hu Lan thought so, and at the last moment of his life, even if the daughter in front of him was just an illusion, he was willing to hug her happily.

When he regained consciousness, all the confusion he had felt before disappeared, and those familiar, even dead comrades-in-arms, stood in front of him again, standing under the blue sky.

He saw the immortals and the Yaksha brothers hugging their families.

It’s great that the Emperor and the immortals finally took us home, and I can finally... see my daughter.

I don’t know how much time has passed in the outside world, but the immortals who were originally participating in the war in various places in Liyue have gathered in the Layered Rock Abyss. I guess the war must have ended.

Who knows, maybe even three or five years have passed!

I don’t know what my daughter has grown up to look like. As the saying goes, girls change a lot when they grow up. After a few years, maybe she has become a graceful lady!

Just then, a crane-like immortal spoke and shattered his hopes.

"I may have to tell you some bad news... You have come to Liyue five hundred years later."

Five hundred years... later?

The immortal's news was like a bolt from the blue, completely shocking Hu Lan. His first reaction was disbelief.

You must be joking, right? Five hundred years, we are just ordinary people, how can we still be alive after five hundred years?

But... the immortal had no reason to lie to him, nor should he lie to him.

Then my daughter... my family... aren't they...

……

The future of Liyue Harbor is great.

After being resurrected by the immortal, Hu Lan, who came to Liyue Harbor five hundred years later, was surprised by everything here and felt deeply sad.

If my daughter saw this, she would probably think it's beautiful, right?

This girl must love to eat it.

They even specially built a place for us that looks like the place we used to live in... Nannan must have played in this place often back then.

……

My...descendants?

Yes, Nannan’s descendants…

Although she looks nothing like Nannan, five hundred years have passed after all, so it is normal that she doesn't look like Nannan.

And after all, Nannan is a girl, so it's good enough to find someone with her own bloodline. Thanks to the Emperor for keeping records of our people's household registration, even those from five hundred years ago to the present can be found out. The current Tianquan Star... is thoughtful.

But in terms of seniority, I am their great-great-great-great-great-grandfather, so it's awkward to call him that. I was only in my twenties when I died, and an old man called me ancestor...

……

The Emperor passed away?! Died in a calamity?!

It turns out that the Emperor also has times when he has no other choice...

However, the Emperor is so powerful that he must not have passed away as they said. Maybe he just faked his death and lived in Liyue Harbor as an ordinary person. I remember that Brother Yasha wanted to do this. Of course, it was Brother Boyang who suggested him to conceal his identity.

……

The Lantern Festival, I promised my daughter that I would spend the Lantern Festival with her this year...

I'm sorry, this promise is five hundred years late.
