Original God: Using a vest knife to make players and game characters cry

"The foolish charade of the night should end. Now, you have no audience. All the noble sacrifices will be engraved on the solid ice and endure with the nation."

The executives stood in two rows on either side of the coffin.

"Under the noble Ice Queen, we have seized the authority of the gods. Now, it is time to... raise our swords against her..."

The scene shows the palace where everyone was previously located.

"Absolute peace, this is the Queen's gift, this is the Queen's mercy."

Ice quickly climbed up the palace, and the entire palace was frozen solid in an instant.

The ice kept pouring out until it covered the entire screen, and then…

One is an ice coffin placed quietly in ice.

"Although you sleep in this coffin, you sleep in layers of ice."

“But, Angie, I promise you… your coffin will be the entire [Old World].

The background music suddenly becomes more rousing here, and the scene shifts from winter to Musk Reef.

D'Artagnan's face was cold and stern, his eyes filled with a chilling killing intent. He combined the two broken blades into a spear, and without any pre-cast animation, the Demon King Armor was instantly donned.

He strode resolutely toward the gates of the abyss, and then vanished into them…

……

[Waaaaah, my lord...]

[Datalia is going to fight desperately.]

[His younger sister was killed by the Abyss, and he is a very pure martial artist, so it's not surprising that he made such a choice, but...]

[Didn't miHoYo say that characters added to the gacha pool wouldn't be nerfed?]

[They're saying you can't use a knife before going to Sky Island, but does anyone know when that's in the PV?]

Trust DuckDuck.

……

The screen changes again.

In an unknown space, black mist filled the surroundings, and endless abyssal monsters surged toward the center.

A tall, masked man clenched his fist and slammed it into the ground. A large amount of solid ice imbued with ice element crashed into the monsters, instantly wiping them all out.

The camera focuses on the tall man.

Capitano, the first executive officer of the Fools.

"roar~"

From deeper within came the roar of an unknown creature. The captain opened his coat, made a clenching motion in his right hand, and a long sword slowly materialized in his palm.

He slowly walked deeper into the area: "Come on..."

……

The world of players.

[First seat!!!]

[Wow, so cool! Is this the top-tier fighting force of the Fatui?]

[Probably not, there's a commander-in-chief above him, but that guy is really imposing.]

Is this also like fighting in the Abyss?

So, everyone's enemy from now on is the Abyss?

[I'm not sure, but the Abyss is definitely the enemy!]

……

In PV.

The scene shifts again, this time to what appears to be ruins.

Rosalind and Sandone flanked Dotole, while the Burning Witch and the towering puppet attacked him with all their might.

Dotore looked disdainful, transformed into a monster, and began to fight the two.

The aftershocks of the battle directly triggered a small earthquake.

……

[A civil war among the Fools?]

Why did they start fighting?!

Anyway, Dotole is no good, good luck to the other two!

……

The battle was fierce, but in the end it seemed that Dotole had the upper hand.

The scene changes again. In the sky somewhere, Columbia smiles and stretches her hand forward, while endless golden beams of light attack the screen in an instant.

The PV screen goes black here, and then the words "Genshin Impact" appear on the screen.

For several seconds, a sound came from the black screen.

"Doctor, you look very young today..."

Chapter 178 Are they going to kick me out...?

"You know, that doesn't sound very flattering to me."

"Where is that [slice] from its heyday now?"

The scene changed to a burning tree, and the Doctor was standing in front of the burning tree.

That big tree was clearly exactly the same as the World Tree that Ying saw when her consciousness connected with the World Tree.

"In an experiment concerning [blasphemy]."

Cole suddenly woke up with a start, gasping for breath; she felt as if she had just had a dream.

"Coley, off on patrol."

"Understood, Master Tinari."

Cole looked at his hands and murmured, "What was that just now..."

This is where the "Winter Night Fool's Play" PV truly ends.

……

The world of players.

[The World Tree?! That must be the World Tree! It must be the World Tree!]

[Holy crap, setting the World Tree on fire? What is the Doctor trying to do?]

[Isn't the World Tree connected to the ley lines? If the World Tree is burned, won't Teyvat be in chaos?]

[I'm a little confused. Why did it suddenly jump to the World Tree?]

[Following mihy's usual pattern, this later part of the story is the current stage, that is, before Ying sets off for Sumeru.]

The person talking to the professor is...

The storyline of the burning World Tree brought great shock to players.

After watching the entire PV, Chen Xiyao felt her brain was overloaded.

The PV contained a lot of information, so she replayed it and discussed the information in the PV with the viewers in the live stream.

"So Angie died when the Fatui obtained the seven Hearts of God, and most likely she died in Nata."

"[Young Master] went to the abyss alone because of his sister's death..."

Chen Xiyao read the comments while interpreting the information.

Compared to Angie's death, she was more concerned about the situation of the other people with pure souls.

What happened to Yunling and Celia at this point? Did the Traveler ultimately manage to protect them properly?

Jiang Mumu visited several live streams and only left satisfied after seeing that the streamers were all amazed by the PV she released.

She then checked out the live streams of some foreign streamers, and the situation was similar for all of them.

The comments section below the official PV was flooded with unprecedented enthusiasm.

After looking around for a while, Jiang Mumu returned to her own little space, opened Genshin Impact, and started grinding the map.

……

More than ten days have passed in the player world, and a new version update has arrived a month after the last update of Genshin Impact.

Version 3.1, King of the Red Earth and the Three Saints.

……

Sumeru.

Ying and Paimon followed Catherine—or rather, Narcida—to another place.

"Let's talk about Dina Zede first. It's so good that she's alright."

Paimon gestured with her little hands. She had been worried the whole time during the Flower Goddess's Birthday cycle, but now she could finally relax.

Nasita: "Well, after we parted ways at the [Festival of the Flower Goddess on the last day], I went outside the city and saw the scene described by the traveler."

"Among countless dreams, I found one that was gradually becoming thinner... This perfectly confirmed my conjecture."

"When Dinazede can no longer withstand the Void's harvesting of dreams, her consciousness will dissipate and break free from the Void's control. However, the remaining bit of consciousness cannot last long either; it will return to the dream that should belong to it... and gradually become thinner and thinner along with the dream until it disappears."

“I did everything I could to maintain that dream of Dina Zede, but it wouldn’t last long. Fortunately, you broke the cycle in time.”

Paimon was even happier to hear that.

"So, in a way, we saved Dinazede together, and we made it in time in the end!"

Ying smiled first, then said with considerable emotion:

"A gratifying result, and I hope we can catch up in the future."

Nasita said in confusion, "Hmm? Why are you all smiling with relief? I thought you should be moved to tears right now... Hmm... We need to observe you more."

Paimon: "Both are fine! It depends on the person!"

Nasita: "Alright, besides that, you still have many questions for me, right? You saved my devout believer, and I will repay you with all the answers."

After thinking for a while, Ying asked about the World Tree, the red sky, and the words she had heard when she was unconscious in Daocheng Forest.

Furthermore, Ying also suspected that the red sky had some connection with Kanria.

"It seems the traveler has connected with the World Tree. It's a message left behind by the remaining consciousness of the Great Tree King within the World Tree, or perhaps her last memory before she died."

"As you should know, the Great Tree King disappeared after the Kanria Cataclysm, so the timing does match up, and your suspicions are not without merit."

"As for the content of that message... I am still unable to decipher it, even with the current capabilities of the Void."

"The consciousness of the Great Compassion Tree King remaining in the World Tree is as if it has been [contaminated], containing an extremely dangerous aura. Many scholars who cultivate will even go completely insane once their consciousness connects with it... Despite my repeated warnings to the Order Institute, there are still victims."

"However, I believe that the key to saving the World Tree lies within it, so I have never given up on interpreting it."

Paimon was somewhat frustrated.

"But even you don't know the meaning of that illusion, so wouldn't we have come all this way for nothing..."

Nasita: "The traveler came into contact with that consciousness but was completely unaffected. You and Xiaoya are the same. With you all here, we will have a chance to decipher it..."

……

The world of players.

[Hmm, saving the World Tree—isn't that the title of Cyria's thesis?]

My intuition tells me that Cyria must have played a very important role in this.

Have Ying and the others still not discovered Celia's identity as a pure soul?

[The person upstairs is being too demanding. Of course we know from God's perspective, how could Ying and Paimon know!]
