Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Williams looked at Qiao San, Mo Yan and others with eager eyes and sighed lightly.

"Why should I tell you? Even if you knew, what would you do? Getting overly involved in other people's affairs will do you no good at all."

"But how would we know if you don't tell us?" Karen said with her hands on her hips.

Williams shook his head and said, "Naive! This has been going on for 500 years. If it could be solved, would it still continue until now?"

"What on earth is going on? Tell me!" Karen said angrily.

At this time, William Katz said helplessly: "Sorry, everyone, Big Brother is like this. On the one hand, he doesn't want humans to slander him, and on the other hand, he doesn't want people to interfere too much in his affairs."

"Oh, so what?" Karen hadn't heard the result yet, so she winked at Kaz impatiently.

William Katz scratched his head and looked at everyone's serious expressions. Being kind-hearted, he had no choice but to compromise.

"Well, since Brother Williams won't tell you, I'll explain it to you all. And it all started 500 years ago."

"Kaz!"

Just as William Katz was about to talk about the past, Williamsk suddenly stopped him.

He sighed helplessly and said, "Well, alright, since you all want to know anyway, let me explain it. But what happens next is at your own risk!"

"I see. So what exactly is going on? Tell me." Karen said impatiently.

"Hmph, the young lady is truly difficult to please. Okay, then listen carefully." Williams glanced and said, "Shopkeeper Qiao told us about our ancestor's encounter with the evil spirit during the day. Back then, our ancestor's life was hanging by a thread, and it was the evil spirit that saved him. To repay the favor, our ancestor became the evil spirit's first contractor."

"Under the influence of the contract, the ancestor gradually developed intelligence. It began to resemble a human and took on a human appearance. The evil spirit then named the ancestor William Neil. After receiving the name, the ancestor also regarded himself as a human and assisted the evil spirit in maintaining order in the Black Domain. Before long, he became known as the Guardian."

Hearing this, Qiao San nodded and said, "Well, this is consistent with what the elders in the village said."

Williamsk continued, "But the good times didn't last. After William Neil became famous, some evil tyrants in the Black Territory used this as an excuse to stir up unrest, attempting to force the evil demon to abdicate. Humph, how dare they say that? Who do they think they are? Unfortunately, there was no solid evidence at the time, and the public's outcry forced the evil demon to exile our ancestors to this mountain."

"The ancestor didn't blame the evil spirit. After returning to the mountains, due to the contract, all the wolves of the same clan were affected and developed intelligence and human bodies, which is what everyone calls a human wolf today."

Qiao San nodded again and said, "I heard from the elders in the village that it was at that time that this mountain was officially named Evil Wolf Mountain."

William Katz nodded and said, "That's right, but unlike our ancestors, we can't switch freely between humans and wolves."

"What about the devil?" Karen asked again.

Williams looked up at the sky and said, "That was ten years after our ancestor was exiled. The evil tyrants of the Black Territory secretly gathered their forces to overthrow the evil demon. As you know, the guardians are bestowed by the gods, so how could they be overthrown so easily? As expected, in just one day, the rebel army was defeated by the evil demon alone. And the evil tyrants who led them were defeated miserably in the Wolf Mountain."

"Then what?"

"I only heard that they refused to accept defeat and committed suicide in the mountains, sacrificing their souls and flesh to the demons of the abyss. However, after the demons were born, they did not immediately seek revenge on the evil spirits. Instead, they quietly gathered their strength in the mountains. It was because of this that our ancestor noticed this that he headed into the mountains alone."

At this point, Qiao San spoke again, "So that's how it is. This is the first time I've heard of this. I've heard from the elders in the village that Lord Evil had left the Black Territory at the time of the incident. Not long after, a giant wolf appeared on Evil Wolf Mountain, and the story of the Evil Wolf Mountain demon has been passed down since then."

"That's because you don't know the whole story, and I will never forget that day," Williams said impatiently. "The ancestor's figure soared into the sky, descended into the mountain, and disappeared before our eyes. We don't know what happened on the mountain. Only the evil spirit participated in the battle, but he didn't explain it to us in detail after he came down the mountain."

"No way, William Neil died in the battle, didn't the evil guy say anything?" Karen asked a little disappointedly.

Williams shook his head and said, "No, he only told us that our ancestors perished together with the devil, and then he let me inherit the contract with him."

Having said that, he punched the stone wall next to him in anger.

"Who wants these, that fellow?"

At this time, Zhao Heng looked at Qiao San and asked, "Mr. Qiao, have the elders in your village ever told you what the evil spirit said after it came down the mountain?"

Qiao San immediately responded, "Oh, yes, just like Mr. Williams said, Lord Evil simply explained the course of events and the outcome, but Dahuo didn't seem to believe it."

"Of course I wouldn't believe it, because the evil demon never argued for our ancestor. He simply summarized the facts without explaining the details. Poor ancestor, in this way, brought infamy to his region."

"Why is that?" Kailin turned her gaze to Yue Tianlang who was standing beside her. "By the way, Tianlang, didn't you say you knew the evil spirit? Haven't you heard anything about it?"

Tianlang lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "I've heard a little about this matter, but the evil spirit never revealed the details, so I didn't dare to ask."

"Ah? Isn't William Neil his contractor? Doesn't the evil guy really care about the reputation and life of his contractor?" Karen asked sadly.

Speaking of this, Yue Tianlang felt a little embarrassed.

"Well, I think it might be a misunderstanding. Although some of the Eight Guardians are like this, I can guarantee that the evil spirits are not what you think. I think this may be due to some reason."

"Humph, boy, you're actually willing to speak up for him." At this time, Williams turned to look at Yue Tianlang, "Is it because of the friendship between Yue Sheng and the evil spirit?"

"Huh?" Yue Tianlang was stunned for a moment.

At the same time, Qiao San suddenly realized and said, "Yes, since Brother Tianlang knows about Lord Evil, he must be the one who signed the contract with Lord Guardian, right?"

"Oh yes, that's right, just like Mr. Williams said, my power comes from the 'Moon Saint'." Yue Tianlang explained with some embarrassment.

At this moment, Kailin on the side muttered with disdain, "Pfft, this guy was showing off to us before, but now he's being humble."

Mo Yan spread his hands and said, "Hide your identity? You can't reveal your identity to everyone, right?"

"Oh, that's true."

At this time, Williamsk stood up from the stone seat and turned and walked into the cave.

"Okay, go to bed early. The mountains are not peaceful, so leave the night watch to me." He said very calmly.
