Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Yue Tianlang expressed his dissatisfaction. At this time, Kailin also realized that something was wrong and started to frantically look for topics to talk about.

"Well, it seems like these two gods are in a bad mood."

"Of course, among the Eight Guardians, these two are two extremes. One ascended to godhood during the chaos of war, stepping on countless corpses, while the other was chosen as a Guardian after fighting against the Ice Emperor. In their eyes, there is absolutely no room for even a grain of sand!"

As he spoke, Yue Tianlang sighed again.

"Alright, everyone must be tired, so go to bed early. If you want to look up information, go to the library. The servants here will take you there. But please don't work too hard, after all, even I can't handle this..."

When night came, Mo Yan and others were led by their attendants to the library. The library was very large, and most of the deposited materials were part of the history of Teyvat, including records of aphrodisiac syndrome. But unfortunately, they did not find any clues that were beneficial to the current situation.

"Ah~ This is so annoying!" Mo Yan complained, lying on the sofa. "It's been so long, and there's still no useful clues."

"Yes, there are records about the Moon Festival. But there is no mention of the method of aphrodisiac syndrome. Could it be that the darkness will really take everyone's lives in three days?" Karen said a little disappointedly.

"I've already said this, it's beyond our capabilities." Zi Xuan sighed, then looked at the book and said, "But there's a sentence here that I find puzzling: 'The Holy Moon sacrifices purity for filth, and people give up desire to welcome baptism. It will bear sin and pain until the Black Moon is born.' What does it mean?"

"It's indeed baffling." Zhao Heng nodded. "The first sentence should refer to the Moon Festival, but the latter part, 'it', doesn't seem to be a figure of speech."

"Does that mean the moon is alive?" Karen complained.

At this time, Mo Yan stood up and walked out the door.

"Huh? Where are you going?" Kailin asked as she stood up.

"I'm so bored, let's go out for a walk."

Mo Yan left the library, and the rest of the people continued to research the information.

He walked aimlessly in the corridor and unknowingly came to the rooftop. At this time, Yue Tianlang was standing on the terrace, looking at the scenery in the distance.

"Sirius?" Mo Yan walked onto the terrace and greeted him.

Tianlang turned around and said with a smile, "It's you. It's so late, aren't you going to bed yet?"

Mo Yan shook his head and said, "After seeing this scene, no one will be able to sleep, right?"

"Hehe~ You guys are really working hard, even though I told you not to bother. How is it? It's your first time here, are you satisfied with the food?"

"Thank you, dinner is delicious. By the way, are you looking at the stars here?" Mo Yan came to Tianlang and looked up. The sky was dark. As mentioned before, there was no moon or stars to be seen. All that could be seen was a thick black cloud.

"I want to, but you can see it too. Not to mention the stars, we can't even see the sky now. Even if we want to worry about the sky, there's nowhere to look." Tianlang said with a helpless smile.

Mo Yan sighed inwardly, then smiled and said, "In that case, let's find someone to chat with."

"Okay!" Tianlang immediately perked up at the mention of chatting, but soon fell into deep thought again, "But what should we talk about? Oh, by the way, you probably don't know, but before I became a guardian, this place wasn't called Xuanyue Town, but Crescent Moon Village."

"Crescent Village...are you saying this was originally a village?"

"Indeed, I had just begun to remember things back then. Crescent Moon Village was quickly affected by the war. The raging fire destroyed everything, and the smell of burning flesh and blood filled the air, making it suffocating. If the Holy Lord hadn't appeared, I'm afraid I would have been buried in the sea of ​​fire along with my parents."

After the Holy Lord rescued me, he fostered me in the Blood Princess's castle. Both the Holy Lord and the Blood Princess were incredibly kind to me. In my eyes, the Holy Lord was truly great. I adored him, and I secretly vowed to become his guardian and remain by his side forever.

Unlike other Guardians who were chosen through trials in the dark, I relied on my own efforts to pass the trials step by step and become a Guardian. This path was difficult, but I did succeed.

The Holy Lord has taught me many life lessons, and he will do his best to help me if I don’t understand something. Although I am still a half-baked guardian now, I am still working hard.

"Your Lord Saint is really kind." Mo Yan couldn't help but sigh. If this situation happened to him, the teacher would have kicked him out long ago.

Tianlang nodded happily and said, "You're right. He really is like a father, taking care of us in every possible way and being considerate in every way."

I originally thought that protection was noble and great, because this power could allow me to save more people. However, it was not until I inherited the "Moon Saint" that I discovered that the dangers of this world were far beyond my expectations.

People wage war for selfishness, power, and desire. This has resulted in the displacement of countless people. I've fought in wars to quell rebellions, and I can honestly say my hands are stained with the blood of countless people. I hate the feeling, but I have no choice but to do it.

Finally, the war subsided, and I gained power due to my military achievements, and my territory was my hometown, Crescent Village.

I returned to my hometown filled with both hope and sorrow, only to find it completely different. The village had become a town, its wooden walls erected high. Later, I learned that the day the Saint rescued me, he had already agreed with Blood Princess to help me rebuild my home.

"That's a good thing, isn't it?" Mo Yan said with a smile.

"Yeah, I think so too. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. After losing their loved ones, people from home came from all directions. The night spread negative emotions, like a plague, making everyone lose the purpose of survival. They were like the walking corpses."

Hearing this, Mo Yan's eyes widened and he asked, "Could it be aphrodisiac syndrome?"

"You guessed correctly. I reported the information to the Holy Lord, and he asked me to use the power of moonlight to bless everyone and cleanse the dirt from their bodies. This is the origin of the Moon Festival."

"It turns out that the Moon Sacrifice was initiated by the Holy Lord." Mo Yan nodded, not quite understanding.

"Well, redeemed by the moonlight, people rekindled their hope and faith in the future. The moonlight endured suffering and dedicated the future to everyone. Over time, the Moon Festival became a tradition here." Tianlang looked up at the night sky again. "But you see, now that aphrodisiac syndrome has struck again, the moon's important goal has yet to materialize. Alas, as the people's faith, I've truly failed in my duty."

Mo Yan remained silent, looking quietly at the night sky.

It's strange. The sky is clear during the day, but it is covered with dark clouds at night. It may be understandable for a while, but it is too strange if it is like this for half a month.

He continued to look up at the sky, and at this moment, countless rays of light rose from the ground, gathered together, and rolled towards the sky like a storm.
