Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Before Zhongli finished speaking, the shackles of the mortal realm transformed into a vast golden net that enveloped them. Instantly, Yite, Hong Tao, Kuang Dao, and Feng Ling all collapsed to their knees, feeling as if under immense pressure.

boom!

"how so……"

"Suddenly... my body feels so heavy." Hong Tao struggled with Kuang Dao, but it was like being stuck in a quagmire. The more they struggled, the heavier the pressure became.

On the contrary, Ite looked so calm in the face of such a predicament.

"Should I say it's worthy of being called the Chains of the World? The weight of thousands of years of rock climbing... it really is..."

Before she finished her words, Perissa passed by him and slowly came towards Xiao An.

She stretched out her left hand, her expression serious and sympathetic: "Come with me, this is not the place for you."

Facing the other party's actions, Xiao An subconsciously retracted his hand: "I don't want it. Although Xiao An really wants to leave here, Xiao An doesn't want to go with you."

"Why? Is it just because of what those people told you before?" Perissa was silent for a moment, her previous obedience completely gone. "Listen, child, they are right. The power in you is indeed one of the corrupted elements. Whether you are willing to admit it or not, as long as you are here, this power will plunge the surrounding area into chaos and destruction."

Hearing this, Xiao An's eyes widened and his hands dropped: "So Xiao An's existence really will bring bad luck to everyone..."

Perissa sighed angrily, "Yes, because you can't control your own power yet. Once you lose control, it's irreversible. And your village is the best example."

"No, no... I just... I don't know why... I really am not..." Xiao An's body trembled violently, and the black mist around him began to surge restlessly.

"Calm down, Xiao An. Perissa understands how you feel. Like you, Perissa was born in the plague. She wanted to make friends with everyone and save everyone, but because of her background, she was labeled a disaster."

"Oh, is that so?"

Perissa nodded slightly, her white hair fluttering in the wind. "So Perissa understands your pain better than anyone else. But because of this, Perissa cannot let you repeat the same mistakes. The Fallen Angel Troupe is just using you. If you really listen to them, that would be your true self-degradation."

She took a step forward, and the purple sickle turned into a point of light and dissipated. She stretched out her hands to Xiao An and said, "Follow Perissa. Perissa will take Xiao An to see my father and ask him to solve this problem for you."

The mist in Xiao An's eyes gradually faded, revealing a look of hesitation: "Is it true... Could it be that Xiao An can still be like an ordinary person..."

Perissa nodded slightly: "Of course."

Xiao An slowly stretched out his hand, and just as his fingers were about to touch Perissa's fingertips, Ite beside him laughed out loud.

"Hehehe~ Like ordinary people... could this really happen?" He knelt on the ground, the evil in his eyes reflected through his glasses.

"Are you still not behaving yourself?" Upon hearing this, Guizhong appropriately increased the pressure in the barrier. In the blink of an eye, It's body was embedded deeper into the ground.

But despite this, he still did not compromise, but smiled even more deeply.

"Gu~ Excuse me, but I'm afraid you're the only one who believes this, right?"

Hearing this, Xiao An quickly turned around and looked at Yi Te: "Big brother, why do you say that?"

Yite raised his head with difficulty, and looked directly at Xiao An through the lens: "It's very simple, Xiao An, perhaps you don't know yet, but this so-called father of the Demon Star is none other than the well-known 'Order' in the world, and he is also the main god who controls Mengtian, the eight guardians, and the five fallen elements - the Holy Lord!"

Xiao An's body shook violently, and the black mist surged again: "You mean, Lord Saint?"

Yite smiled faintly. "That's right. You have to know that the Holy Lord originally intended to recycle the five corrupted elements. And the main reason why your spirit is online after death is the power of the dead in the corrupted elements. Think about it carefully. If you followed her, would you still have a chance to continue to exist?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao An's spirit body began to fluctuate violently, and the surrounding elemental fluctuations also gathered and flowed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Perissa hurriedly explained: "That's not the case. I believe that my father will be able to save you!"

"Rescue? Don't kid yourself...Pfft!"

The final chains tightened suddenly, and Ite groaned, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. But he continued to smile, "Xiao An, look around carefully. If the 'order' she spoke of was truly so gentle, how could we be here with you? Think about it carefully. Those villagers who pushed you to your death, those faces who see you as a disaster, aren't they the norm in this world? The answer is obvious!"

"No, don't listen to him!" Perissa instinctively wanted to step forward to stop him, but was almost blown away by the abnormal elemental flow.

Xiao An's spirit began to twist, and the black mist formed a vortex. The bricks and stones of the village ruins were suspended in the air and shattered into dust in the air.

"No! Xiao An doesn't want to disappear. Xiao An doesn't want to experience it anymore..."

The elements shifted, and the scene of being sent to the gallows that day replayed itself, a wave of pain and suffocation washing over him. Xiao An's spirit erupted with blinding black light, and the ground throughout the village began to crack, with countless phantoms of undead knights crawling out from the cracks.

"Oh no!" Zhongli slammed his spear to the ground, and a golden barrier instantly unfolded to protect everyone.

At this moment, Guizhong's Earthly Chains trembled violently, and the chains that fixed the knots were actually broken by the violent power of the undead.

It took the opportunity to break free from his restraints, a bloodshot smile on his lips: "See? This is the anger of those abandoned by 'Order'!"

Perissa managed to stand firm in the turbulent air, the purple sickle gathering in her hand once more. She clenched her teeth, a flash of pain in her eyes. "That's not true. Father never..."

Before he could finish his words, Xiao An was completely swallowed by the black mist under the surge of elemental power, transforming into a three-meter-tall Undead Knight. Unlike other Undead Knights, his armor was covered with thorn-like spikes, and under his helmet were two balls of dancing blue flames. His hoarse voice was like the wails of thousands of dead souls:

"I want to... survive!"

At that moment, it pulled the reins, and a chariot, pulled by two undead warhorses, materialized from thin air beneath its feet. Instantly, the sky and earth changed color. The undead knights knelt in worship, and the ruins of the entire village began to writhe as if alive. Black mist condensed into substantial chains, enveloping an area several miles in radius.

As the dead man raised his arms, all the undead knights raised their weapons at the same time and let out earth-shaking war cries.

"Fuck me!"

The Undead Knight's charge unleashed a black storm, shattering Zhongli's rock ridges under the impact. Gui Zhong hurriedly activated the Earthly Chains, only to find that the chains had been corroded by the power of the undead, becoming dull and lusterless.
