Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

The disaster 200 years ago was unprecedented. The volcanic eruption and its chain reaction caused the hot magma to burn down the entire area. No grass grew wherever it went, and it has become the barren mountain it is today.

Back then, Flame King Lieyuan Chiye and the other guardians were too busy repairing a dimension shattered and crumbling due to over-exploitation to pay any attention to this place. As a result, countless villages were buried, and countless lives perished in despair. Thick smoke billowed, obscuring the sky, and scorching lava spread like the tentacles of a demon, ruthlessly devouring everything.

"What then?" Kailin asked with a lump in her throat.

"I heard that the ancestor of our Bai family was the first generation contractor of the adults. At that time, after the ancestor learned about the situation here, he led everyone to carry out the rescue without hesitation. However, the volcanic eruption never stopped. Although the ancestors tried their best, facing the overwhelming magma and thick smoke, there was really only so much they could do." Bai Lie said with a trace of reverence and sadness in his eyes.

"At this moment, the ancestor made a shocking decision that no one could believe!"

"If the volcano erupts due to the breaking of the earth vein, then let me become the cornerstone of this place!"

"He once said that." Bai Lie's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes flashed with complex light, which showed both admiration for his ancestors and a trace of unspeakable regret.

"You mean, your ancestors wanted to protect the earth veins here..." Zhao Heng asked.

At this moment, Bai Lie nodded. "Yes, the ancestor's power came from the contract with Lord Flame King. In addition, he possessed dragon blood, so he was very compatible with the damaged earth veins. Therefore, he decided to use his own body to stabilize the broken earth veins and forcibly prevent the eruption of magma. It was an almost crazy sacrifice, but at the time, he had no time to care about much else in order to save this place."

So, Bai Lie's ancestor went alone to the place where volcanic eruptions frequently occurred. In front of everyone, he was baptized by the heat wave. He never retreated from being burned by the flames to being swallowed by the magma.

The brilliant light shining on him formed a sharp contrast with the dark and scorching environment around him. It was like a beacon of hope, shining tenaciously in the abyss of despair.

The flames ceased because of him, and died because of him.

In the end, the earth veins here were restored to their original state because of him, but his body was completely turned into ashes in the flames.

As he spoke, Bai Lie looked around the cave and said, "From now on, we, the descendants of the Bai family, take pride in our dedication and live here for generations, just to protect the peace that our ancestors exchanged their lives for."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent for a long time. This heroic sacrifice and perseverance spanning two hundred years deeply shocked everyone.

"Then what does this have to do with your so-called aura?" Zhao Heng asked.

"Because the power of the contract scattered here is exactly the same as the contract ripples that have been passed down in our Bai family." Bai Lie replied.

"What?" Kailin was shocked. "You mean your ancestors lived here..."

"That's right." Bai Lie nodded.

Hearing this, Zhao Heng lowered his head with a heavy expression and said, "If that's the case, then the Fallen Angel Troupe's goal isn't that simple."

Boom!

Suddenly, there was another commotion in the cave ahead, which made everyone even more uneasy.

……

Not long ago, Bai Lang and Qi Yong fought their way through the monsters and arrived at the cave. Looking at the surrounding scene, he fell into deep thought.

"Well, what's wrong?" Qi Yong turned around and looked at Bai Lang and asked.

Bai Lang shook his head, then looked around and replied, "Nothing, I just feel that the atmosphere here is a little familiar. It seems very similar to the contract that has been passed down in our Bai family."

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Qi Yong lowered his head and pondered for a moment. "Oh, right, I heard that a disaster occurred here hundreds of years ago. Later, a hero stepped forward and used his flesh and blood to repair the earth veins, successfully curbing the disaster. Since you feel this place is familiar, perhaps you have some connection with that hero."

Bai Lang was silent for a moment, then responded, "Disaster? Senior, are you referring to the Sangyang Rebellion... Oh, now I remember. My father once told me that our ancestor sacrificed himself to save the people. This must be his burial place."

"So that's how it is. It turns out you know quite a lot." Qi Yong said with his arms folded.

Bai Lang scratched his head and replied, "Not much. After all, this is our Bai family's business."

"You're back? How's it going? Have you dealt with all the outsiders who invaded the camp?"

"Don't worry, with the monsters you trained here, there's no way those guys will get out alive."

At this moment, a conversation was heard in the distance.

Qi Yong turned around and signaled Bai Lang to keep his voice down, and then the two of them walked forward together.

At the end of the road is a factory with a huge machine standing in the center, with hot magma below. Several iron pipes are connected to the machine and inserted into the magma.

In front of the machine stood a man in strange clothes, wearing glasses and folding his arms. Next to him stood a woman, also dressed in a very strange way, wearing a pink tights full of technology and hard work.

It was Yite and Fengling. Maybe others didn’t know them, but Bailang had seen them on the wanted poster.

"Really? That's good. Although a few minions are insignificant, it will still cause a lot of trouble if it gets out." It said, adjusting his glasses.

"That's what you said, but we still don't understand why you did this?" Feng Ling said, looking at the machine in front of her.

Yite smiled softly and said, "It's very simple. Most of you have heard the stories circulating here. A hero sacrificed his body to repair the damaged earth veins for his homeland, and since then the disasters in this area have been quelled."

Feng Ling nodded: "Of course."

"Then you know that Bai Chen is the first contractor of the Flame King. Besides human blood, he also has the blood of the dragon clan flowing in his body."

"Isn't this natural? Everyone says he is a mixed-blood. Because he has dragon blood, he can perfectly fit in with the broken earth veins. Otherwise, he alone may not be able to extinguish the fire here." Hong Tao said.

"That's right, and this is also the dedication in the Flame King's contract. Light up, rekindle, and burn your whole life just to illuminate the way ahead for those who are lost. At the same time, this kind of contract power is the purest and most powerful. Think about it carefully, if this power is reversed and used to nourish monsters, wouldn't we be able to create the most perfect experimental sample?" It said excitedly.

Hearing this, Feng Ling shook her head helplessly. She sighed and said angrily, "I'm becoming more and more confused about your aesthetic sense."
