Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"The Sangyang Rebellion?" Kailin asked doubtfully.

Upon hearing this word, Yaohui, Tianlang, and Li Xueqi all looked extremely solemn.

"Of course, no Teyvat person will forget that. That was the darkest moment in Teyvat's history. Teyvat was almost destroyed because of their ambition." Yaohui said seriously.

Rednos nodded and said, "Yes, back then, Sangyang was just a small island tribe east of Linhui, but they committed heinous acts."

"Well, what exactly is this Sangyang Rebellion you're talking about?" Karen asked.

At this time, Mo Yan came over and said, "We seem to have heard Jiexiang mention this before. We heard that 200 years ago, the people of Sangyang extracted a large amount of elemental power from nature in order to control it for their own use. However, due to excessive extraction, the earth veins around the world were on the verge of collapse."

Yuka nodded and said, "Yes, their actions caused irreversible consequences. Therefore, all the residents of Teyvat will never forget it."

"That's true, but this is just the tip of the iceberg of what these guys have done." Yaohui nodded and turned around to say, "Back then, to satisfy their own desires, they mobilized the entire nation's strength and dragged all of Teyva into the flames of war. Besides the surface where the spiritual veins collapsed, many people lost their families and even their races to extinction because of their aggression."

"That's right," Rednos said. "It was because of their accumulated atrocities that the Holy Lord was enraged and sent down a thunderbolt punishment. He used a lightning spear to suppress the leader of the rebellion, Yufu Eijiro, and his soul on the island, and they will never be able to reincarnate."

Yao Hui continued, "But after the Sangyang people were defeated, they showed no remorse. Not only did they refuse to admit defeat, but they also worshipped the leader of the rebellion as a god and built a temple to worship him every day for generations."

"How could such a thing happen!" Karen said in surprise.

"There are still many things you don't know." Tianlang said.

Rednos folded his arms and said, "Yes, when the Saint heard the news, he was furious and cursed all the Sanyang people for generations to come, forbidding them to leave the island and leaving them to fend for themselves. He then ordered Emilia, the evil enchantress of the Six Evil Saints, to manage the island. Out of hatred, she turned the island upside down in her own way, and to this day it's a veritable island of disaster."

"These are all well-known facts." Yao Hui frowned, then looked at Rednos, "So how does this relate to what you want to convey?"

"Of course it's related," Rednos said. "Not long ago, the administrators of Sangyang sent us intelligence saying that there was an abnormal energy leak on the island, and it was increasing day by day."

Hearing this, Yaohui's expression became more serious.

"You mean, they might make a big move to make a comeback?"

"That's possible, but because of her masterpiece, the people there are always surprised by natural disasters during the harvest season, and it's difficult for them to even fill their stomachs. Do you think they still have the energy to start over?" Rednos waved his hand and said.

"Indeed, coupled with the curse bestowed by the Holy Lord, even if they have this idea, going out to sea becomes the biggest problem." Yaohui said.

Rednos nodded and said, "That's right, but what Emilina said is indeed strange. The Holy Lord suspects that this energy fluctuation may come from the soul of the Sangyang rebellion leader, so he asked me to go and take a look."

"I see. Excuse me for being blunt, but among the Eight Guardians, there should be more suitable candidates besides us. But why didn't the Holy Lord specifically ask you or Bingdi to go?" Yaohui asked again.

"That's a good question. Since everyone has their own things to do, it might save some effort if we get together. And you three just happen to be together, and you've just finished a big battle, so I have to trouble you." Rednos said.

At this moment, Tianlang showed a look of disdain, looked at Rednos and said, "So we have to do all the hard work?"

"It can't be helped. Those who are capable should do more work," Rednos said, spreading his hands. "Besides, the three of you are the closest among our guards. If Rexos and I were to attack together, there's no guarantee we wouldn't come to blows just because we dislike each other."

"That's you..." Tianlang complained.

Li Xueqi smiled softly and said, "But this is the truth. Among the eight guardians, there is really no one with whom we have a closer relationship."

Rednos nodded again and said, "Yeah, and it's also quite free."

"Hey, that last sentence is redundant." Tianlang said dissatisfiedly.

Kailin subconsciously looked at Tianlang and said, "That seems to be correct."

"Hey!"

At this time, Yaohui coughed and said, "Ahem, let's get back to the point. According to you, the Holy Lord wants us to go to the island to investigate the source of this power?"

"That's right." Rednos nodded and said, "But we can't rule out the possibility of other accidents."

"That's true." Yaohui nodded subconsciously and sighed, "I understand. We will go."

"Well, there's one more thing." Rednos turned his gaze to Mo Yan and the other three standing beside him. "The Saint said that you might as well go along with this operation. It doesn't matter if you don't go, but we don't know what will happen next."

Hearing this, Yao Hui was shocked again, and then he shouted angrily: "Are you crazy? They are just ordinary people. Do you think..."

Before Yaohui could finish his words, he was interrupted by Rednos.

He folded his arms and sneered, "Ordinary people? Not likely. They were able to fight the 'God of War' so closely, and they've also experienced aphrodisiac syndrome, deep sinners, and the Sanu rebels. Do you think this term is appropriate for them?"

"Then you should also be aware of the dangers of this operation." Yaohui continued to refute, "They are not from our world, and we should not let them be involved in the struggle of our world."

"But they're already involved!" Rednos said, "Besides, is this something that His Holiness has tacitly approved, or do you even intend to disobey His Holiness's orders?"

Hearing the word "Holy Lord", Yao Hui frowned again and said seriously: "Don't always use the word "Holy Lord" to pressure me!"

Rednos smiled softly, then leaned close to Yaohui's ear and whispered, "So what? Don't forget that you and I are the same, both losers."

Yaohui clenched his fists and said, "You are really crazy."

"So what? Do you want to suffer again?" said Rednos.

At this moment, the atmosphere between the two became tense again. In order to ease their emotions, Tianlang and Li Xueqi tried to persuade them.

Tianlang: "Alright, alright, let us at least consider this matter."

Li Xueqi: "That's right, Rednos, you should stop irritating him all the time."

"Yes, can't we go with them?" Karen also persuaded.

Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, Rednos smiled, then folded his arms and said, "Alright, whatever you choose is up to you. I'm waiting to hear from you in the Abyss. I wish you good luck."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the city again. Before leaving, he did not forget to glance at Mo Yan and others.

"Are they what the adults call disobedient? That's quite interesting. Let's wait and see what kind of storm they stir up."
