Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"What is this?" Yaohui was stunned. The sudden long cry made everyone look towards the distant horizon.

A whirlwind blew in from the horizon, sweeping in swiftly, raising clouds of dust wherever it passed. The whirlwind grew larger and larger, and it seemed to be filled with flickering lights and shadows, as if some mysterious force was stirring within it.

"Oh no, the monster is coming again!" At this moment, the villagers in the distance shouted, and then a giant bird formed by the wind broke through the clouds and flew over people's heads.

It hovered in the air, each scream followed by a hurricane. The bird was enormous, its wingspan tens of meters wide, and the powerful air currents it created with its flapping wings were so strong that people could hardly open their eyes.

The Sangyang people who were surrounding the crowd also put down their "weapons" and fled away, but the giant bird did not let them go. After a long cry, the wind and waves it stirred up swept all the fleeing Sangyang people into the air.

The sky seemed to be thrown into chaos by an invisible hand. Dark clouds gathered like a surging tide, layer upon layer, so thick that they seemed to be pressing directly onto the ground. These clouds were no longer simply black, but had a chilling blue-gray hue, the color of the sky before a typhoon.

The wind howled, like the shrieks of countless evil spirits. Wherever it passed, dust and sand were swept into the air, forming columns of dim yellow sand that raged across the earth like a sand tornado. The distant mountains were also enveloped in this chaos, and the trees that had been toppling to and fro were uprooted and blown away by the wind.

"Hey, what kind of monster is this?" Karen stood in place against the wind pressure and looked at the giant beast in the sky.

Yao Hui's heart trembled, and he immediately understood and said, "That's the disaster beast 'Natural Scourge' beside Emilina. It seems that guy already knows we are here."

"So it's here to help us out?" Kailin asked against the wind.

"You can say that, but in order to avoid being affected, we should leave here as soon as possible." Yaohui said.

"it is good!"

Everyone nodded at the same time, but just as they were about to run towards the village entrance, the "natural disaster" suddenly flew over.

"Oh no! How did that guy fly over here?" Kailin asked anxiously.

"Oh no, get out of the way!"

As soon as Yaohui finished speaking, a hurricane hit and everyone was instantly swept into the air. But unlike those Sangyang people, after being swept into the air, everyone unexpectedly rode on the back of "Natural Disaster", and then it took everyone to the top of the mountain beyond the wind field.

After reaching the top of the mountain, the "natural disaster" rolled up a whirlwind, sent everyone back to the ground safely, and then hovered in the sky.

"Please, could you please not stir up trouble in the area under my jurisdiction?"

An evil female voice came towards him, but the voice lingered in the surroundings and did not seem to come from a "natural disaster".

"Who is it? Who is talking?" Karen looked around when she heard the voice.

At this moment, Yaohui looked up into the air and said, "It's you, Emilia."

"Haha, yes, Lord Yaohui, it's been a long time since we last met. I heard from Lord Shengzun that he had sent people to investigate the Sangyang incident, but I didn't expect it to be you guys, and you brought a few inexplicable outsiders with you. I don't know what to say."

"Ah? What do you mean by inexplicable?" Karen looked up at the sky and said dissatisfiedly.

Yao Hui folded his arms and continued, "Okay, since you already knew we were here, why bother hiding?"

"Oh? Lord Yaohui, do you think it's necessary for me to show myself in front of strangers?"

Yaohui sighed and said, "That's true. After all, this is the rule of your fairy tribe."

"That's right. We fairies can't just show up in front of humans. I just saw those guys making things difficult for you, and I couldn't stand it, so I took some action to punish them."

"Just a little?" Hearing this, Kailin subconsciously looked off into the distance. The village being swept by the hurricane was a horrific sight. "You're basically going to kill me, aren't you?"

"Then what can I do? The guy just now said that he admitted his mistake, but what he did was exactly the same as those guys back then. It's really ironic." Emilia sighed.

Yao Hui nodded and said, "Indeed, but even if you don't make a move this time, with my strength, do I think I will lose to this rabble?"

Emilia let out a silver bell-like laugh. "Haha, yes, with your strength, it's no problem for you to deal with these Sangyang bandits. However, you are a guardian, and things like slaughtering a village that are not conducive to fame and fortune are better left to us, the 'evildoers.'"

As she spoke, she chuckled and continued, "But my Lord, could you please not cause me any more trouble? Of course, I know you are here to investigate the strange situation on the island under the orders of the Holy Lord, and if a conflict occurs like just now, I will also provide for your safety, but please do not deliberately create conflicts because of this."

Emilia's words gradually faded, and then the figure of "Natural Scourge" also disappeared from the sky with the wind and waves.

Everyone looked toward the distant village again. The storm had subsided, but the village itself was now devoid of life. The ruins had been completely leveled, and those struggling against the storm were either torn to pieces by the hurricane or completely buried by the raised sand.

"Hmph, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place." Yaohui looked at the scene in the distance, shook his head, and then turned around again, "Well, it's time for us to go."

He walked down the mountain, and everyone followed his pace without slacking off. Along the way, there were endless ruins like villages. Some villages were obviously washed away by floods, some were buried by rocks in earthquakes, and some were reduced to ashes in fires. Without exception, these were Emilia's masterpieces.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a seemingly intact city finally appeared before everyone.

"Let's go, let's go there and explore again." Yaohui led everyone to continue walking towards the city ahead, but after just a few steps, he immediately stopped.

"Yaohui?" Kailin asked doubtfully.

But Yaohui ignored her. He looked up at the sky above the city, where he saw a faint halo slowly swirling. This halo was unlike ordinary light; it exuded a chilling aura that chilled the very heart. And this aura practically enveloped the entire town.

"Such a strong sense of hostility. Could this be the source of the abnormality?"

He lowered his head in thought. At this moment, Tianlang seemed to have noticed this and asked, "Yaohui, could the aura here be?"

Yaohui turned around, nodded, and said, "Well, it seems you've also discovered that this is most likely the source we're looking for."
