Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

After landing on the island by boat, everyone quickly walked to the shore and then walked about 50 miles along the coast. A deserted area with a mass grave resembling a battlefield appeared before everyone's eyes.

The mounds of earth, large and small, were covered with seaweed and shells, and various rusty weapons were stuck on them, seemingly reflecting the tragic wars that had taken place here.

Beside each mound were two or three suits of armor, long since rusted and worn away by the erosion of the sea and time. The air was filled with a salty, rotten smell, a mixture of decay and oppression.

Kailin looked around and asked, "Where is this..."

"Diaoyu Island is Linhui's territory, and these people sacrificed their lives 200 years ago to prevent the Sangyang people from landing." Yaohui explained with a heavy expression.

It was from here that the Sangyang people landed on the island and caused the Sangyang Rebellion that shocked the world for a hundred years. They were warriors born in Linhui. They fought with them for several days with their flesh and blood, but were eventually wiped out because they were outnumbered.

Qian Shang and Jie Xiang were among the navy soldiers guarding this place at that time, and they will never forget the tragic situation of that year.

On a night 200 years ago, the Sanyang people suddenly swarmed onto this island in hundreds of ships. The local navy fought tenaciously day and night, sacrificing their lives and blood to prevent the enemy from landing. But in the end, they failed.

"Sister Qianshang and I are the only surviving warriors here. At that time, in order to send the situation of Sangyang's invasion back to Linhui, we risked our lives to break through the enemy's encirclement, but they..." After saying this, Jiexiang showed a sadness on her face.

"Yes, there are nearly a thousand of our compatriots buried here. Their bodies were left exposed in the wilderness, and we never found their bodies until the end of the war. Jiexiang and I had no choice but to build a simple grave for them here to commemorate the tragedy and sacrifice at that time." Qianshang said.

Kailin looked a little sad at the two of them. She stepped forward to comfort them, "Qianshang, Jiexiang, don't be sad. I'm sure they don't want to see you so sad right now."

Mo Yan nodded. "Yeah, don't blame me for being nosy. Now, let's prioritize how to deal with that monster."

"Yes, but we left the island because there is a curse and the monsters shouldn't be able to come here for a while," Karin asked.

Yao Hui lowered his head and thought as he said, "That's right, but don't forget that although Yufu Eijiro has been resurrected and regained his full consciousness, he has now turned into a ghost. The curse set by the Holy Lord has no effect on him. Even if the ghost is afraid of water, with his current strength, do you think this can defeat him?"

"That's true." After hearing this, Karen's expression became more serious.

"So you brought us here not just to make us reminisce and empathize, right?" Yaohui looked at Jiexiang and asked.

"Of course not," Jiexiang replied, shaking her head. "Before we came here, the Holy Lord warned us that this evil spirit is unusually powerful. Its hostility cannot be eliminated or neutralized by ordinary means. Moreover, it will constantly devour the souls and lives around it to provide itself with power. All of this will cause it to evolve and become uncontrollable."

"That's true. We've done so much, but not only did we fail to get rid of it, it made it stronger and stronger." Karen said helplessly.

Yuka nodded and said, "That's right. So if we want to defeat this monster, we must find a way to eradicate or neutralize its hostility. The only thing that can do this is their unrepentant fighting spirit."

She looked at the cemetery in front of her, and at that moment, Yaohui instantly understood her intention.

"Do you think you can defeat the undead with the undead? With all due respect, this is a fantasy."

"Well, I find it a little strange, too, but this is what the Saint has instructed." Jiexiang said with a touch of sadness, looking at the mass graves before her. "If we want to counteract the evil spirits' aggressive and greedy desires, we must have the same spirit of dedication to protect our homeland at the cost of our lives. Two hundred years ago, they sacrificed their lives to resist the invaders on this land. Only such a noble spirit can counteract the desire for aggression. And whether we or they did that, we should all feel regret."

Yaohui sighed and said, "Alright, but how can you guarantee that they will show up to help us? It's not easy to make the dead voluntarily become heroic spirits."

"Don't worry, the details have been handed over to us." Yuka took out a crystal stone that exuded elemental power. "It is said that the power contained here is enough to awaken their souls. It just takes some time."

"In that case, let's get started," Kailin said. "I'm sorry to trouble you seniors, but this is the only way we can do it right now."

"It doesn't matter if you don't explain the last sentence." Mo Yan said.

Yuxiang nodded, and then brought the crystal stone to the center of the cemetery.

She used Taoism to draw a formation on the spot, and then embedded the crystal in the middle.

"We pray to the ancient power, transcending the boundaries of time and space, may light guide us forward and darkness be driven away.

Fill, fill, fill, three times and three times over.

Fallen heroes, heed my call and return, forge your faith with flesh and blood, and fight for freedom.

Regardless of wind and rain, we will defend our homeland to the death. Even if the flames of war are over, the glory will last forever.

Today, we gather here again to fight against the source of evil.

Souls resonate, awakening in the dusty land, power gathers, and blooms with brilliant brilliance.

I swear here to join hands with you, sever the chains of evil, and defend our homeland until our last breath!

When the spell ended, the crystal stone was completely integrated into the magic circle.

The glory is revealed here, the soul sings here, and the glory of the past gathers here. Looking at the sacred and solemn atmosphere around, everyone showed an expression of amazement.

Just when everyone was rejoicing, an ominous aura came again.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to hide in this remote place."

Hiroo Eijiro walked onto the shore. At this moment, his body was soaked by the sea water, and the hostility in his body became even heavier.

"No way, this thing is so fast, and it looks like it swam here?" Karen said in surprise.

"A mere sea, how can it stop me?" Hiroo Eijiro said with a smile, then looked around. "What a devastated, yet delightful sight! It seems we landed here a hundred years ago. I never thought the remains of that scene would still be there."

Faced with the other party's sarcasm, everyone gritted their teeth.

"Hmph, don't be so complacent. We will definitely settle the old account from you today!" Qian Shang stood up and said.

"Oh? Come on if you can." It drew out the two evil blades again and said with a haughty attitude, "But don't think that you can sit back and relax just because you can suppress me for a while. Even if you have more people and more power, I won't be able to defeat you, huh?"

Suddenly, Hiroo Eijiro noticed something unusual on the shore.

The light ahead is shining, and the sleeping heroic spirits are awakened by its arrival.
