Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"Such a strong chill, is this really the strength a normal person should have?" Karen couldn't help rubbing her arms against the cold wind that penetrated the barrier, her eyes fixed on the shivering figure in the icy fog.

Sure enough, despite the barrier created by the two of them, it still couldn't withstand the invasion of the cold wind. At this time, Klee stepped out and released magic to solidify a third barrier for everyone.

Seeing this, Mona didn't hesitate. She released a demonic fire. Although it was not scorching, it had a strange warmth that dispelled the infiltrating cold air bit by bit.

Finally, the cold air dissipated. Finina had fainted due to her excitement. The "glaciers" around her caused by the cold air made her look like Sleeping Beauty sleeping on the Frozen Throne.

"Funina!" Mo Yan rushed out of the barrier regardless of the pain.

The frostbite on his right hand still ached, but his mind was now preoccupied with the figure collapsing in the icy mist. As he passed through the final barrier, the thin ice beneath his feet caused him to stumble. He stumbled to the "glacier" and carefully pushed aside the translucent ice ridges.

……

Back at the hotel, everyone waited in the lobby. Keli treated Mo Yan's frostbitten arm until Zixuan came out of Funina's room.

"How is it?" Kailin was the first to rush over, speaking as fast as a machine gun. "Is Furninna okay?"

Zi Xuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, she's fine. I checked her thoroughly. She fainted because she was too emotional and consumed too much elemental energy. She'll be fine after a night's rest."

"Really? I'm glad you're okay. I was so scared." Kailin said calmly, holding her chest, but suddenly realized, "Wait, elemental power? I forgot if you didn't mention it. Didn't Funina say she wasn't a contractor? Why does she have such a powerful power?"

"This is Finina's constitution," Klee said, stepping forward. "She's always been like this since she was little. Whenever she gets overly emotional or in danger, she'll suddenly unleash an irresistible chill. That's why few people are friends with her."

Tabak nodded. "Indeed, in order to help the Captain, Linny, I, and everyone else gathered materials and made him this coat that could block out the cold, both inside and out. This was the reason the Captain gradually emerged from his shell. But I never thought that after all these years..."

Linny stood aside, his face darkening. "Yes, and the cold air released this time is even stronger than before. If it gets out of control again, I'm afraid..."

At this time, Rednos folded his hands with a hint of interest: "A natural physique, huh? Interesting."

Hearing this, Kailin instantly became unhappy. She put her hands on her hips and said directly, "Hey, stop making sarcastic remarks here, okay? Let's think of a way to help Funina solve this problem first."

"Solve? Can we really solve it on our own?" He asked calmly, hands spread out. "You have to know that her ability is innate. If she wants to control this power that doesn't belong to her, she has to rely on Miss Finina herself."

At this moment, Kailin was stunned. "Wait, wait, wait, you've got me confused. What do you mean by strength is innate to Miss Finina, but it's not her own? Explain it to me clearly!"

"It's very simple, because she is not in a state to control this power. Just like Ms. Klee said just now, it will only erupt when her emotions are out of control or she is in danger. In the words of scientists, it is a backup defense plan that is automatically activated when in danger. That's why I said that this power is innate, but it is not her own." Rednos explained with his hands folded.

"You know it so clearly. Do you know where her power comes from?" asked Kelly.

Rednos smiled softly: "Of course, do you know the Three Saints of Glacier?"

Tianlang suddenly became alert: "Are you talking about Bingdi?"

"That's right." Rednos nodded.

Keli thought for a moment and said, "I've heard a little bit about this, but shouldn't the Three Saints' range of activities be on the glacier?"

Rednos was about to answer when Kailin suddenly called out again, "Hey, wait a minute, this is getting more and more confusing. What exactly are the Three Glacial Saints? Why don't you explain clearly?"

Seeing this, Rednos subconsciously looked at Tianlang, and Tianlang smiled helplessly.

"Haha, it seems that it is necessary to let our guests understand it first." He said with a smile, spreading his hands.

"Well, then." Rednos cleared his throat. "The so-called Three Glacial Saints are the Ice Emperor's original contractors, and they also correspond to the three guardians of the former Ice Age overlord, the World-Destroying Ice Dragon."

"They are Sugnir, representing the Fierce Tiger; Phoenix, representing the Snow Phoenix; and Solgari, representing the Ice Rhino. Eighteen years ago, 200 years ago outside, during the Sangyang Rebellion, the Snow Phoenix sacrificed herself to protect the glacier's first line of defense, the Frost Sky. She used her body as a wall and then dissipated along with her essence. Who would have thought that for those 18 years, her reincarnation would have been in the abyss."

"So, Miss Funina's previous life was the Snow Phoenix, one of the Three Saints of Glacier?" Clara asked.

"That's right, but the Snow Phoenix's original power is too strong, and it failed to fully merge with the new soul during reincarnation. Therefore, this power is engraved deep within the soul, like a defensive measure. Before it is fully mastered, it will only instinctively erupt when the soul feels threatened."

Rednos added, tapping his fingertips lightly on the table.

"That's why she always says she's like an outlier. That power that doesn't belong to her 'current self' is a constant reminder of her difference from others."

Clara blinked and asked softly, "Then...if she can control this power, will she not lose control again?"

"That's the theory, but it's difficult to put into practice." Rednos stood up. "In short, no one can help her except herself. Think carefully about how to tell her. Of course, you can choose to hide it from her, but then she will never be able to change her fate."

After saying this, Rednos picked up his coat and walked out of the hotel with Rex, leaving everyone in a state of uncertainty.

"What do you mean, really? Do you want to tell the captain?" asked Tabak.

"Of course we have to. The captain will know our identity one day, so we might as well make plans early," said Linnie.

"That's what she said...but what if she can't accept it? After all, this sounds too outrageous. What about being a snow phoenix in the previous life, what about the original power...If it were me, I would probably be stunned for several days." Kailin said, shaking her head.

Zi Xuan spoke gently, "Perhaps we can talk about it slowly, without revealing everything all at once. Start by explaining her physical condition, then gradually mention the Three Glacier Saints, so that she has time to adjust."

At this time, Keli sighed and said, "Let's put it aside for now. After Furninna wakes up, don't mention this matter. Of course, this is also for her consideration."
