Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Seeing the person she had been searching for all these months, Ying was overjoyed and had clearly forgotten how the Abyss Apostle had addressed this brother.

"I've finally found you! Come with me quickly! It's dangerous here!"

Seeing Ying's anticipation of the joy of reunion, Paimon quickly reminded her.

"Wait...wait, Ying, he just blocked an attack for the Abyss Apostle...your brother seems to be connected to the 'Abyss'..."

Before Paimon could say anything, the Abyss Prince named [Sora], Luminous's brother, spoke first.

"Ying, why are you with Dai Yin?"

Hearing this question, Ying snapped out of her daze and then froze again.

"...What? You're asking about...Dain?"

(We've been apart for so long... why are we talking about... unrelated things?)

Joy is followed by questions, and then sadness...

Filled with doubt, Paimon asked, puzzled, "Ying, your brother... knows Dain?"

At this moment, Dain, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.

"...Kong. We meet again."

Paimon's little head froze completely when he heard the name from Dain.

"What...what's going on?! Dain knows his name too!"

Ignoring Little Paimon, Kong spoke again.

"Ying...you shouldn't be traveling with this person. This person...is my 'enemy.'"

Upon hearing the term "enemy," Daines Reeb's expression was incredibly complex as he weakly called out the other person's name...

Looking at her family, Ying exclaimed excitedly, "Wait! Stop saying things I don't understand, Sora!"

"...But this is what I must tell you, Luminous. Do not come with Dain to stop me. Do not stop the 'Abyss.' That man... Dain's Reeb. He was the 'Sword of the End' of the last royal guard of Kanria. Five hundred years ago, he failed to prevent Kanria's destruction. At that time, he was cursed with immortality, wandering the wilderness... only able to watch as the people he wanted to protect turned into monsters of the abyss."

Upon hearing this news, Paimon was completely thrown into a panic.

"You're saying...Dain is a Kanrean?! A Kanrean who experienced the destruction of his kingdom five hundred years ago?!"

Seeing how stupid Paimon was, Huiyuan covered her mouth and then tried to persuade her.

"Paimon, it's best if you don't speak."

"But... he said 'the people have turned into monsters'... Kanria, the Abyss Order, Sister Yuanyuan, aren't you shocked? He said the Abyss Order are Kanria's 'remnants'! Ugh... and Dain is his enemy, I'm completely confused..."

"I know this is strange, but the reunion of siblings... it's best for outsiders not to interfere. This is not something we can meddle in."

Ignoring the whispers behind her, Ying said, "Come with me first, brother! Let's go home! Tell me about these things later!"

"Home...yes, of course, wherever Ying is, that's 'home.' But I can't go with you to the next world to find a new home...at least not now. Before the 'Abyss' engulfs the throne, I have an unfinished war with 'Heavenly Principle'..."

"The laws of nature...?"

Ying had heard this word before from Huiyuan, but now her brother was using it too. Why?

"Listen to me, Ying. I have already traveled once. So, you too must reach your destination, just like me, so that you can leave behind the essence of this world in your own eyes. We will meet again eventually. But don't rush, Ying. I have plenty of time to wait for you."

As he spoke, the Abyss Apostle behind Kong opened a portal.

Upon seeing this, Ying was overwhelmed with mixed feelings, her eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions. She ran forward and tried to hug the other person.

Clearly, the boy named Sora didn't give Hikari enough time to leave his final words before rushing into the portal.

"We always have enough time."

Ying's eyes were filled with incomprehension, and she gritted her teeth.

(Damn it...run!)

As the portal was about to close, and she was unable to reach it, tears welled up in Ying's eyes.

Seeing this, Daines Reeb vanished from beside Huiyuan in an instant, turning into a ghostly figure and rushing out before the portal closed.

Ying, however, was a step too slow and passed through the already vanished portal.

Right before her eyes, under the protection of the "Deep Apostles," her only remaining loved one was once again separated from her.

The words spoken at parting still lingered in the air, while Ying stood in the empty ruins, unable to come back to her senses for a long time...

Huiyuan walked slowly forward and silently stroked her back.

Seeing that Ying's tears were about to spill over, Paimon choked back tears as he comforted her.

"Waaah... Ying, don't be so sad... We'll find them! Try to look on the bright side! At least we've found some useful clues this time!"

Holding back her tears, Ying, with a strong will, nodded and said, "Paimon is right, hope has appeared."

"Yeah, right, right! Anyway, given the current situation, besides the 'Seven Gods,' we now have another lead in the search for our relatives: 'Dain,' right?"

"Yes. Not only that, there's also Huiyuan."

Seeing Ying looking at her, Huiyuan was stunned.

(Wait a minute, I was being really discreet just now, the flight attendant didn't even glance at me... What does this have to do with me?)

Seeing that Huiyuan didn't understand, Ying explained, "Just now, my brother said 'the way of heaven,' a word I've never heard before, and it was you who used it. And just now... you seemed to know you couldn't stop my brother, so you didn't stop him."

"Well... if I rush over here rashly, you'll probably have even less time to talk, right?"

"Hmm...that makes sense."

At this moment, Paimon asked, "By the way, what they were saying was so hard to understand, did you understand it?"

"My attention was only on my brother, I didn't listen carefully."

Seeing this, Huiyuan offered to help sort out the situation.

"I think I've figured it out. The Abyss Apostles addressing your brother as 'Your Highness' indicates that [Kong Ge] is leading the Abyss Order, and his status is at least higher than that of the Abyss Apostles."

Upon hearing the title "Air Host," Ying was speechless.

(Why does Huiyuan always call herself "Yingmei" but now calls her brother "Kongge"? It can't be... in your eyes, I'm your wife? Hmm... I can't think of any other reason besides that.)

Unaware that Ying's expression had returned to normal, Huiyuan continued speaking.

"Your brother's goal is to 'overwhelm the throne of gods and defy the laws of nature.' I didn't quite understand that line either (the script hasn't gotten to that point yet)... It feels like he wants to kill gods and destroy the country. Also, the Abyss Order is just a bunch of twisted monsters created from the remnants of the destroyed kingdom of Kanria. That seems a bit creepy... Is this still 12+...?"

"What 12+?"

"Ah, it's nothing. Anyway, it's already been confirmed: Dain is a Kanrian, known as the 'Sword of the End.' But he hasn't turned into a monster, and he's fighting against the Abyss Order."
