Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Earlier, when everyone learned of Perissa's decision, they all followed Zhongli in the direction indicated by the compass. At the end of the compass, besides the corpses of monsters scattered all over the ground, there was only a spiral door emitting an eerie purple light.

Zhongli looked at the increasingly disordered compass, and for a moment, a sense of unease rose in everyone's hearts.

"It seems that Perissa is in there." He said in a flat tone.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go in!" Kailin said anxiously, and rushed inside. However, she was blocked by Gui Zhong.

"Wait a minute, the miasma released by this passage is beyond our imagination. If we don't deal with it in detail, I'm afraid that after we go in, neither you nor I will be able to escape." She said seriously.

Zhongli nodded: "And it looks like this passage can only accommodate one person."

Before my eyes, the spiral door was beginning to converge at a speed visible to the naked eye and was about to close.

"This is easy. Mr. Zhongli or Hualong can just go in and rescue Perissa, right?" Kailin said.

"It's not that simple." Gui Zhong said.

She arrived in front of the spiral door and concentrated a force of rock elemental power to shoot it in. However, as soon as the elemental power touched the door, it was completely swallowed by the poisonous gas inside.

"Look, these poisonous mists will prioritize attacking those who possess elemental power or contract power."

"In other words, the one who possesses the strongest power of the two is more likely to be eroded." Zhongli added.

"So we must first choose someone who does not possess elemental power and contract power." Hualong said and looked at Mo Yan on the side.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Yes, so far, Kailin, Zhao Heng, and Zixuan have all been recognized for their certificate power, but he is the only one who has not received any certificate contract. Therefore, he is the most suitable person to be the first choice.

Even Mo Yan himself did not expect that he, who had not yet obtained any guardian certificate, would have this "honor".

He held his forehead and said, "He's waiting for me here."

"Oh, I know what you're thinking, but you don't have to say it out loud!" Kailin said dissatisfiedly, hands on her hips. Then she looked at Zhongli, "But this poison gas is something you can't handle either. Can an ordinary person like him handle it?"

Zhongli did not answer immediately, but took out a rock element crystal from his waist, which contained strong elements and was the same as the glass product on his waist.

"This Eye of God will gather everyone's elemental power and contract. Once you enter this door, it will bear the erosion of the poisonous fog for you. In other words, you must bring Perissa back here before the Eye of God becomes dim, otherwise..."

Zhongli didn't continue speaking because everyone understood the consequences.

"It seems that there is no other way." Hualong shrugged, and then injected the power of the contract into the Eye of God.

Seeing this, Gui Zhong, Qiu Hong, and Leng Yue stepped forward and injected their elemental power or contracts into it.

"Count me in too." Tianlang walked forward and placed his hand on the Eye of God.

Kailin folded her arms and said, "It's rare. Are you okay now?"

Tianlang smiled softly: "One more person means one more strength. Although I can't use elemental power normally, it should be no problem if I just flow and inject it."

"Tianlang is right. More people means more strength. Let's come too." Zhao Heng looked at Zixuan.

Zi Xuan nodded and stepped forward with Zhao Heng. They then took out all their guardian credentials and poured their power into the Eye of God. At this moment, the Eye of God shone even brighter.

"In that case, count me in!" Kailin said, and then injected the power of the Blood Princess and the Moon Saint's certificate into the Eye of God.

At this time, the Eye of God was even brighter in Zhongli's hand. Mo Yan took the Eye of God and held it tightly in his hand.

He took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll go everyone."

"Well, be careful on your journey." Zhongli nodded.

"You must come back alive, Mo Yan." Kailin said with a worried look.

Mo Yan smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter. If I really go there, you can go to the underworld to find me again."

"Bah, bah, bah, it's already this time and you're still interested in joking!" Karen said angrily.

Hearing this, he smiled lightly: "Then I'll be back soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Yan turned around and walked into the spiral door filled with poisonous mist.

As I stepped through the door, the road behind me quickly closed, and what came towards me was a chaotic purple poisonous fog.

In an instant, the Eye of God that Zhongli gave him suddenly burst out with dazzling golden light, forming a flowing shield around him, blocking all the oncoming fog for him.

"Huh, thank you." He breathed a sigh of relief after being frightened. After a brief breath, he rushed into the poisonous fog again.

At this moment, the surrounding environment changed again. What came into view was not the sour and rotten underground cave he had imagined, but a village ravaged by the plague.

From the birth of a girl to being cursed by the world because of the plague, from the villagers expelling Dao and Ye to the encounter with the Holy Lord.

Here, he saw Perissa's past, and every frame of memory was like a sharp knife piercing his heart.

"These are Perissa's past..." He rubbed his temple with his left hand and shook his head, "But why..."

He subconsciously looked around, and only gradually reacted when he saw the shield beside him blocking the actual poisonous fog for him.

"So that's it. Is it an illusion created by the mirage... Anyway, let's find Perissa first." He said this, then quickened his pace and continued along the road extending from the current village.

Along the way, he saw a lot of Perissa's unbearable past. Perissa said that the mirage was once a part of her, so it was not surprising that it had the same memories as Perissa. However, if Perissa could not forget these unbearable past, she would probably fall into its trap.

Finally, along the "end" of the road, he saw the figure of Perissa, but to be precise, it should be the appearance of the mirage that was transformed according to Perissa's appearance, because at this time, the real Perissa had been bewitched by it and fell into the fog.

"Pelissa!" he shouted.

However, she was trapped in the fog and did not turn back, so he made a quick decision and used the protection of the Eye of God to tear the fog apart with his bare hands.

"Perissa!"

The girl opened her eyes in the abyss, and when she saw that the person coming was Mo Yan, her eyes were full of surprise.

"It's you? Why are you here..."

Before she could finish her words, Mo Yan interrupted her. He gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand desperately, saying, "Don't talk about this for now. Hurry, grab my hand. Everyone is waiting for you to go back!"

Perissa stretched out her right hand, but just when her fingertips were about to touch Mo Yan, she hesitated for a few seconds. In contrast, Mo Yan immediately grabbed her hand.

Ah——!

Mo Yan used up all his strength and finally pulled her out of the bottomless abyss.

At this moment, Perissa lay on top of him, like a wounded little animal. Her distracted eyes gradually focused, and then she slowly stood up and asked.

"Why, you shouldn't come here. Father said it's very dangerous here. Its aura is simply...unbearable for ordinary people."

"Because we're friends, aren't we?" Mo Yan smiled faintly. "Thanks to Shen, I'm able to see your memories here. You said that the consequences of your karma must be borne by you, but this responsibility doesn't necessarily have to be borne by you alone. Don't be paralyzed by Shen's sweet words, because it's your own kindness that makes you who you are."
