Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Under the roar of the giant lion, layers of rocks were lifted up around everyone, and everyone was completely wrapped in the rocks. When they opened their eyes again, the scenery in front of them had completely changed.

"Where is this?" Mo Yan looked around.

The surroundings were dim, and from time to time one could hear the sound of water, just like a cave. There were many simple wooden furniture in front of them, and just when everyone was puzzled, that familiar and charming voice came again.

"Hey, everyone, you really are causing trouble for me."

Hearing the voice, Mo Yan looked forward, and what he saw was a completely different scene.

Sitting in front of him was a silver-haired woman. Judging from her pointed ears, she looked a bit like the fairies often mentioned in novels from the original world.

Her eyes were like deep pools, their amethyst-like color revealing a hint of cunning and laziness.

The woman was wearing a revealing black dress, made of some mysterious silk that shimmered faintly in the dim light. It was neither too long nor too short, revealing her slender legs. Her bare feet gently tapped the ground, her ankles so slender they seemed almost impossible to grasp.

"It's you, Emilia." Yaohui came forward in the morning and said.

The woman sat on the throne, legs crossed. She tilted her head slightly and smiled, "How are you, Master Yaohui?"

"She is Emilia?" Karen asked in surprise.

"Yes, she is Emilina, one of the Six Evil Saints, known as the Enchantress of Disaster." Yaohui explained, then looked at Emilina again, "I didn't expect you to save me again this time."

Emilia smiled softly and said, "No, as I said before, I only made a minor move. However, your actions have really caused me quite a bit of trouble."

Hearing this, Kailin scratched her head and said, "It's not our fault. How could I have known that thing would suddenly come alive?"

At this moment, almost everyone's eyes were focused on Kailin.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Kailin panicked instantly.

"Why, why are you looking at me like that?"

Yao Hui folded his arms and asked, "Come to think of it, aren't you going to explain?"

"Huh? What's the explanation..."

"Don't give me that. I remember I told you a long time ago that you are not allowed to act on your own after entering Sangyang. But why can't you sit still and insist on acting alone?" Yaohui said seriously.

"Ah, this..." Karen stammered. The excuses she had found when talking to Mo Yan before were almost useless at this moment.

It was at this moment that Mo Yan stood up.

"Yaohui, don't blame Kailin. It was my idea to go to the ancestral hall to investigate the situation. If you want to blame someone, blame me."

Zixuan walked out and said, "Mo Yan, we all know that you are calm and steady and would never do such a thing, so there is no need for you to take the blame for Kailin."

"That's right. Besides, there shouldn't be any other way to leave the apartment silently except with my Moon Voucher." Tianlang said.

"That's not the case," Mo Yan continued. "You're right. Kailin was indeed at fault in this matter, but I also share unshirkable responsibility. Although it was Kailin who dragged me along, if I had just given her a few more words of advice, this wouldn't have happened. But I didn't. Instead, I chose to play along with her. So, logically, this could also be considered my idea."

"Mo Yan..." Kailin looked at Mo Yan, her heart filled with emotion and guilt. Then she lowered her head and looked at Yaohui, "I'm sorry, Yaohui, I lost my patience this time. I just hoped I could help, but I didn't expect..."

She knew that Mo Yan was helping her share the responsibility, but this incident was caused by her own willful behavior. Now that things have come to this point, it is useless to deny it.

Yao Hui sighed and said, "You two... Forget it, now is not the time to assign blame. Let's first find a way to solve the problem at hand."

Hearing this, Emilia sneered and said, "Yes, it's really ironic. The god I once worshipped has suddenly turned into a demon that sends me to hell. What could be more ironic than this?"

She stood up from the throne, and then waved her hand, and a screen formed by magic appeared out of thin air.

On the screen, there was a scene that looked like purgatory.

The entire land of Sangyang was shrouded in darkness, the sky thick and oppressive, as if dotted with ink. Everywhere were erratic monsters, their forms varied. Some resembled humanoid forms, their bodies twisted and distorted, as if twisted into a pretzel by an invisible force; others resembled vast expanses of black smoke, faintly shimmering with a faint green light, like will-o'-the-wisp. They roamed the streets and alleys, emitting eerie shrieks that cut through the air like a sharp blade scraping against glass.

The local Sangyang people fled in panic. Men, women, young and old, all ran desperately on the road, their faces filled with fear and despair. An old man fell to the ground, his bony hands trying to grasp something to support himself, but those around him, preoccupied with escaping, even trampled over him in their panic.

Even so, those who escaped were not able to escape the fate of having their souls devoured. Just like before in the ancestral hall, no one could escape.

"What a desolate scene on earth." Tianlang shook his head and said with a hint of emotion.

"Yes, but if it hadn't been for that, there wouldn't be any trouble today. It's all our own fault." Yao Hui folded his arms and looked at Emilia again. "So, you're showing us all this just so you can enjoy the dire situation here with you?"

"Of course. Such an ironic scene should be shared with more people. It wouldn't be enough for me to enjoy it alone." Emilia paced lightly, her bare feet making no sound on the ground, as if they were floating forward. "Don't you agree?"

Yao Hui nodded and said, "It's indeed very satisfying. Although I understand, I don't agree. These Sangyang people brought this upon themselves. I really don't care if they live or die. However, if this monster leaves the island, it will be a devastating blow to the mainland. You know, the curse set by the Holy Lord only prevents local living things from crossing the sea, but it may not be effective against dead things."

"Do you think this guy can cross the ocean to the mainland?" Li Xueqi asked.

Yao Hui nodded: "We need to plan carefully for everything. Besides, Lu Xi also said before that the evil energy here has already crossed the ocean and affected the coast of Lin Hui."

Tianlang lowered his head in thought and said, "In that case, we really need to find a solution as soon as possible."

"So what should we do?" Kailin asked. "You know, even the three of you, Yaohui, can't handle this monster together."
