Genshin Impact ship pairings

Ying looked at the soldier in front of her with some shock. The soldier didn't delay and quickly told Ying that with his abilities, he could only temporarily set up this barrier for a while. Then he eagerly grasped her hand.

Tell me, is it possible for history to be changed in this world?

Paimon, unaware of their conversation, paced back and forth in confusion. Ying, however, suddenly jolted, her pupils contracting. Though she said nothing, the skirmisher already knew the answer.

The soldiers released Ying's hand and walked towards the core of the World Tree. "Goodbye, you'd better leave here as soon as possible."

Ying suddenly realized what the stragglers were about to do and quickly stepped forward to stop them. But it was too late.

"From this day forward, the names 'scattered soldier' ​​and 'qizhe' will cease to exist. Those who died on Tasha, those who were connected to me, should live a different life."

The stragglers' tone was tinged with sarcasm, their cold words sending a chill down one's spine. He left with such solitary courage, as if nothing in this world could hold him back. Ying suddenly realized that no one could stop him now, not even her brother.

As Luminous watched the stragglers disappear before her eyes, Narcida seemed to sense something was amiss and asked Luminous what had happened. Luminous told Narcida everything that had occurred; it had all happened so fast that Luminous hadn't been able to react in time to stop them. Narcida was silent for a moment, then sighed, and guided Luminous and a panicked Paimon away from the area.

As he fell into the World Tree, the skirmisher's consciousness was somewhat hazy. But he struggled to remain conscious, determined to erase all traces of himself. However, for some reason, there were always stubborn spots that he couldn't erase. After many attempts, the skirmisher heard a familiar voice.

"It's no use; you can't completely erase your own traces."

The soldier stared wide-eyed at the figure who shouldn't have been there. Long, golden hair swayed gently, and her honey-like eyes, filled with deep affection, looked at him with a helpless expression.

"You madman, how did you get here!"

Kong shook his head. He reached out his hand, trying to hold down the soldier's hand, but it passed right through him like a bubble.

"Of course I can't enter the World Tree, but I've been imprisoned in Teyvat for many years, so I have special means to briefly project my consciousness here. Although it comes at a price, it doesn't matter."

Kong's eyes held a hint of tenderness. Even though he couldn't touch the skirmisher, he still tried his best to get closer to the frail little doll.

"I just want to tell you that no one can erase their own traces in the world. You probably don't know about the gods who once existed in Sumeru, but I can tell you that even she couldn't erase herself. She only succeeded because of the power of the little grass god. So, do you understand? You won't succeed."

"follow me."

Kong looked at the puppet in a seductive tone. After hearing his words, the puppet clearly became dazed. Immersed inside the World Tree, even he would have his consciousness affected, let alone the small puppet whose body was still weak.

"I've figured it out. It's all my fault. I should have taken you with me from the very beginning, and none of this would have happened. Those people don't matter. I will avenge you. As for that guy from the Fatui, I'll leave him for you to deal with..."

"I really longed for you to be there, and I wished you could take me with you. ... The time when I was in love with you was truly the happiest time of my life."

It was rare for the stragglers to be willing to have a proper conversation with Kong. Just like many years ago, he looked up at Kong with longing. But immediately, he reverted to his arrogant and disdainful demeanor. Even in his weakened state, he remained proud.

"We've all changed. I realized it the moment I saw you again in the abyss. We've both changed so much, and I believe you've realized it too, but you just don't want to face it. How ridiculous, that the mighty prince of the abyss would bow down for a laughable love. Hahaha, hahahahaha."

The stragglers laughed maniacally, mocking themselves for their lingering attachment to the man before them. Kong remained silent, lost in thought. Centuries had, after all, been like a sharp knife, piercing their hearts. No matter how well they concealed the wounds, peeling back the veil of pretense revealed a bloody reality.

After the laughter subsided, a profound emptiness within him devoured him like a wild beast. With his last strength, amidst the panicked gaze of the enemy, he cracked the stubborn force that was holding him back. Success was within reach, and his figure began to fade into the distance. With a peaceful expression, he closed his eyes. Ah, it's all over now.

On the other side, after waking up, Ying immediately discovered that Sanbing seemed to have truly eliminated her. She rushed to Inazuma as fast as she could and breathed a sigh of relief upon finding all her friends safe and sound. Then, she thought of Sanbing's resolute figure again. Ying still couldn't leave it alone; she didn't know what she could do for him.

In the end, Ying found Naxida.

Sure enough, Nasita couldn't remember the name of the stragglers when mentioned. After a brief moment of thought, Ying decided to tell Nasita and Paimon about it. Her face was pale, and with a heavy heart, she began to recount a story that had been fragmented for many years but was now finally being pieced together.

……

"So, in the end, this puppet named Sanbing erased himself in the World Tree... in an attempt to change the past."

Nasita rested her chin on her hand, pondering for a while. She trusted Ying, so she quickly understood. Because of the Great Tree King's matter, Ying couldn't tell Nasita everything. After inquiring about the details, Nasita spoke to Ying.

"If the soldier knew he hadn't been betrayed, he might have considered the people living in Tasha in the story as friends, and then he wouldn't hate humanity so much. It would be inevitable that he would want to save his friends from the past. ... This story is so reasonable, every part makes sense."

Nasita deduced the whole process from Ying's words. Listening to her, Ying thought again of the stragglers. What he had done with all his might was like a drop of water flowing into the ocean, leaving no ripple.

"Please wait a moment, I want to confirm some information."

Narcida closed her eyes and connected her consciousness to the World Tree. She discovered the message she had left behind and shared it with Luminous and Paimon.
