Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

As soon as the words fell, the three of them felt uncomfortable and their eyes widened.

"Wait, this sentence..." Kailin looked at Zhao Heng in surprise, and he nodded.

Indeed, the words Yaohui had spoken of the Holy Lord were the exact same declaration the Tower Gem had made to him when he arrived in Teyvat. Now it seemed that these events, which had already occurred, were intentional.

Holy Lord, what on earth is he thinking? Why has he dragged us into this? Is it only through the passage to Dream Heaven that...

At this time, Yaohui sighed and said, "Okay, time waits for no one, let's move on."

"Hey, wait a minute, Yaohui!" Kailin suddenly called out, "You said before that you wanted to go to the Netherworld, didn't you? But why did you want us to come here..."

"Because we want to go to the underworld, we must find someone first." Yaohui said.

"Ah, who is it?"

"The messenger from the underworld, one of the six evil saints, the ghost." Yaohui said with his arms folded.

Everyone continued to walk into the canyon. Unknowingly, fog gradually rose in front of them. As the fog became thicker and thicker, Yaohui stopped.

"Old friend, why don't you come out and meet me?" Yaohui folded his arms and looked into the fog.

Suddenly, the surrounding fog began to swirl violently, and then a figure slowly emerged from the fog. The figure was as tall as half a mountain, and it exuded a cold aura.

When the figure walked out of the fog, Karen was stunned.

"Monster?"

The pitch-black armor exuded an ominous aura, and looking up, the opponent was actually headless.

Just as everyone was about to take action, Yaohui suddenly stepped in to stop them.

"Don't be nervous, he is the guide I mentioned to you." Then he looked at the ghost and said, "Long time no see, ghost."

The ghost leaned forward slightly and replied, "Well, it's been a long time since we last met, Master Yaohui. I just don't know why you came here today."

Yaohui replied, "Well, I have a friend who's dying after accidentally drinking fake wine. Could you please show us the way to the underworld?"

"Is that so? Of course." The ghost leaned forward and said.

"Hey, so straightforward?" Kailin asked in surprise. "Shouldn't we normally refuse in such situations because of the inconvenience of our duties?"

"Do you want to save Mo Yan? People are kind enough to take you there, why are you still being picky here?" Zi Xuan looked at Kailin helplessly.

Kailin scratched her head and said awkwardly, "That's not the case. I just didn't expect it to be so smooth."

Seeing Kailin's expression, the ghost calmly explained, "I'm just a guide here, leading lost souls to the underworld. As for their intentions, I won't ask about them."

"Ah? Aren't you afraid of causing any trouble?" Karen asked.

"Of course, if any living person takes the soul of the deceased away from this place without permission, I will stop them," the ghost explained. "But I have seen the young man who died from the fake wine you all mentioned. He just entered the underworld about three hours ago."

"Really? How is he now?" Kailin suddenly asked anxiously.

The ghost shook his body and said, "Sorry, I'm just a guide and I won't get involved in the affairs of the underworld."

At this time, Yao Hui put down his hands and said seriously: "Alright, ghost, stop talking nonsense and lead the way."

The ghost leaned forward and nodded, "Well, then everyone please follow me."

After saying that, the ghost turned around and led everyone into the fog.

Under the guidance of the ghost, the fog around them became thicker and thicker, and it was almost pitch dark, but the ghost walked as if it were flat ground, as if it knew every inch of the land here very well.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the fog ahead suddenly began to dissipate, revealing a massive stone gate. Carved with all sorts of strange symbols and patterns, it exuded an ancient and mysterious aura.

The ghost stopped in front of the stone gate, turned around and said to everyone, "This is the entrance to the underworld. I can only take you here, the rest of the way is up to you."

Yaohui nodded and expressed his gratitude to Youhun: "Thank you, Youhun. I will remember your kindness in my heart."

"Don't worry, I just did what I should do." The ghost leaned forward slightly, then slowly disappeared into the mist.

Everyone stood in front of the stone gate, looked at each other, then took a deep breath and pushed open the door to the underworld together.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, with Athenus's arrangement, Mo Yan had a temporary place to stay, but he was not at ease.

"Come, try the snacks unique to the underworld." Athens brought a pot of freshly brewed tea, and then placed a plate of snacks in front of Mo Yan.

"Okay, thank you..." Mo Yan picked up the teacup and looked at the tea in his hand.

The tea was slightly clear in color, no different from the different teas in the mortal world. He took a sip.

When the tea goes down your throat, you will feel a unique cool sensation, as if it carries the unique cold breath of the underworld, spreading on the tip of your tongue.

Mo Yan couldn't help but frown slightly, but he also felt that this coolness was mixed with a strange soothing feeling, which seemed to calm his confused soul a little.

"This tea tastes a little special." Mo Yan put down the teacup and said.

Athenus folded his hands and said, "This is a pure tea unique to the underworld. It grows by the banks of the Lethe River and absorbs the negative energy there. It has a certain soothing effect on souls like you who have just arrived in the underworld."

Mo Yan nodded, his eyes falling on the plate of dim sum. The dim sum was delicate and small, emitting a faint fragrance, but this fragrance also had a cold and elegant charm.

He hesitated for a moment, then picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth. It melted in his mouth, soft and chewy, but the coolness of it was even stronger than tea. Mo Yan's body trembled slightly, but he quickly adjusted to the feeling.

"How is it? Do you feel a lot more relaxed?" Athens asked.

"Yeah." Mo Yan nodded, but soon fell into deep thought again.

Seeing this, Athenus asked again: "Is it possible that these are not to your taste?"

"Um, not really." Mo Yan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Athens and asked, "Athenos, we are enemies. We even fought over the Heart of the God of War in the Ares tribe before, but now you are taking care of my officials. Can you tell me why?"

"Why? The reason is simple. I'm not a petty person," Athenos replied. "You're right. We were enemies in the past. My ancestor's death made me hate the current order and the gods. If it weren't for the ancestor's spirit possessing that girl, I probably wouldn't have recovered from the scars of the past. On the contrary, I want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been blinded by the power of the Heart of the God of War and repeated the tragedy of my ancestor."
