Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

Wendy wasn't happy with that statement. What did she mean by being left behind?

Ever since I woke up, I've been trying my best to keep up with the times, and I've already tasted all the latest wines, hehe.

My next plan is to taste all the latest wines from around the world. I won't be left behind; I'm the best wine taster in the world.

Wendy has a good mindset; she knows how to regulate her emotions, but Ying doesn't.

[Ying's tone carried a hint of grievance, "You've witnessed the losses that come with moving forward."]

[Ying lowered her brows, as if trying to convince herself, her voice low and somber, "Only eternity... only eternity can..."]

Turning the page again, this page contains an illustration of a figure dressed in a white kimono standing on a bridge, holding a knife, but her face is not visible.

[Shadow: "Where lightning flashes, a shadow will be cast."]

"I am the shadow."

The scene flips, and the person reflected in the water holds a naginata; she is the shadow.

Everyone then realized that the person in the illustration wasn't the general, but why did that person look exactly like him? Who was she?

On the next page, Shadow brandishes his naginata and leads his troops into battle.

"Using 'no-thought' to clear away all obstacles to Inazuma's progress"

Inazuma nodded. This was the general they knew. But who was the woman on the first page?

Their doubts remained unresolved.

The next page features the giant serpent Orobos, and the page after that features the thunderbird Capachelli; both are obstacles that were 'cut off' by the shadow.

However... with every step forward, something is lost.

A hundred demons appeared behind the shadow! Eerie and bizarre monsters followed the shadow as he fought his way across the land; this was known as the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons!

However, just as Shadow said, every step forward brings loss. Of the hundred demons who once followed Shadow, very few remain, leaving him truly alone.

[Image: "Even in the end, 'she' was lost."]

In this illustration, Yingbao leaves a tear of blood.

Shadow has never shown such emotions when facing those hardships and obstacles, which makes people even more curious about 'her' identity. For whom does the powerful and aloof Thor weep?

What remains is not tears, but blood and tears—proof of utter devastation.

Under the cherry tree, two Thors appear in the scene. One holds up a paper umbrella and kneels in front, while the other follows behind, raising a hand with the palm facing upward, as if waiting for a cherry blossom to fall into his hand.

Unlike the previous cool-toned images that were predominantly purple, this illustration features warm colors, making the scene look much cozier.

Turning the page again, the 'Lei Movie' on the screen has a gentle expression and a faint smile.

She held up a purple oil-paper umbrella and was also holding a pink fox in her arms.

The readers were stunned. Why did Thor look so gentle in this painting, even though they were both 'cheesy movies'?

Combined with his earlier words, people have made a bold guess: Could Thor be suffering from a split personality?

[Shadow: "Just go after it, even if it's just a fleeting glimmer of light."]

"We at least have 'this moment'."

"She once said that."

Turning the page again, amidst the burning ruins, Shadow is holding another 'Shadow' in his arms.

This clears up the misunderstanding; Thor is not schizophrenic, and the other person does exist.

So, it seems Thor is actually a twin?!

The readers were utterly astonished; this was truly a huge secret! A secret that even Inatsuma didn't know!

Kujo Sara's eyes widened, her fists clenched involuntarily, and tears streamed down her face. A general had died...

[Shadow: "But I witnessed a nation running at full speed lose everything before the laws of nature... Perhaps only by freezing time can the lightning not be extinguished."]

Now people know why Shadowbaby became withdrawn. It wasn't just because she suffered too much emotional setback, but also because she was afraid that Inazuma would follow in Kanria's footsteps.

That's why Shadowraze knew nothing at all. The destruction of Canria wasn't because it 'ran at full speed,' but because it became a 'Teyvat traitor.'

Having acted as a 'guide' for the Abyss, it would be strange if Heaven didn't punish Kanria.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that if it weren't for the favor that nature showed to humanity, Kanria might not have been destroyed until the Abyss had completely invaded.

Try replacing the people of Kanria with 'dragons' and see what happens. Forget about communicating with the Abyss; when they try to ferry beings from beyond the heavens, their family trees will be overturned.

Character Voice Acting - Lei Movie: About Yourself

"Alas, I have done too many wrong things over the past few hundred years, and I will also correct my own faults."

Chapter 218 Yae no Miko's 'Talk Therapy'

As one of the original gods, Shadow knew very little about Kanria's affairs, which shows how well he protected her.

Shadow protects Shin in external wars, and Shin protects Shadow amidst various conspiracies; they are each other's guardians.

[Shadow: "This moment is a fragile illusion; only eternity is closest to the truth!"]

"Now, I am no longer a shadow; this body is the most sublime and noble body, and I should wield the greatest power in the world."

"This body is offered to my subjects as a dream!"

"That is, the unchanging eternity that lasts for thousands of generations."

The meaning of "shadow" is that the late emperor passed away before completing his great undertaking, and now the country is divided into seven parts, with the people exhausted and their wives weary. This is a critical moment for the survival of the nation.

So, in order to protect Inazuma and her people, from that moment on, she was no longer a 'shadow' but a 'real'.

However, readers may not fully understand this story because it does not tell the 'true' story or provide a name.

Puzzled, the crowd continued reading the story, in which Yae no Miko spoke frankly.

"The principles of nature...are something I don't understand."

"In short, you just want to protect your beloved Inazuma forever, right?"

[Shadow turned away from Yae no Miko: "What you said is a bit too dismissive."]

Now the readers understand! Yae no Miko was right! That's exactly what she meant! We can also understand the General's thoughts now!

[The Eighth Divine Child directly commented sharply: "But does this kingdom even have the value of existing eternally?"]

Inatsume was completely bewildered. What was going on? Why was Yae-no-miya suddenly questioning their worth? Could it be that Yae-no-miya was actually even more extreme than Lord Raiden?

"A nation that has lost its desire, that has lost its ability to change, is merely an empty shell, existing in name only."

Inatsume breathed a sigh of relief. Oh, so that's what it meant. You scared me!

Yae no Miko wasn't actually questioning Inazuma or Inazuma, but rather Kage's understanding of 'eternity,' which was quite bold, to say the least.

Yae no Miko shrugged and said, "In that case, what does it matter if it's destroyed?"

She told the gods who pursue eternity that her pursuit of 'eternity' was meaningless, and then said that if she was just protecting Inazuma like this, then it wouldn't matter if it was destroyed.

Brave fox, unafraid of Thor.

However, the concept of the goddess is actually easy to understand; what she pursues is 'people-oriented'.

She believed that if humanity lost its 'desire' and 'change', then humanity would 'disappear,' and Inazuma would be nothing more than a piece of land called Inazuma, existing in name only.

If you save the land but lose the people, both the people and the land will be lost; if you save the people but lose the land, both the people and the land will be saved!

The audacity of the Divine Child is astounding. If a woman had said those words, General Thunder would have immediately awakened Shadow Treasure, saving the need for a duel before the Emperor.

[Shadow turned back, her delicate brows furrowed as she looked at the Eightfold Divine Child: "Divine Child, take back your presumptuous words."]

"This promise to my people is eternal and unchanging, spanning countless generations."

This is only possible because of Yae no Kamiko. If it were anyone else saying this, Kage wouldn't even bother to say it; it would be much easier to just use a knife.

Even if she can only use her mouth and not her knife, she'd rather bite you to death than utter a single word.

[The Yae no Divine Child remained unfazed: "But what your subjects need is not your promises; what they crave is your 'gaze.'"]

[Shadow: "...The Eye of God?"]

"Human lifespan is only a hundred years; they cannot bear the loss."

The Inatsume people finally understood that their god did indeed love them, but was a bit foolish and lacked emotional intelligence.

To the gods, human life is short, but to humans, a hundred years is enough time for earth-shattering changes to occur!

Indeed, humans may not be able to bear loss; birth, aging, illness, and death are always difficult to accept.

But this doesn't mean that humans want to stop, because time never stops.

Even if the Eye of God is taken away, and the 'wish' is taken away, humanity will not break through the shackles of lifespan and live a few more years.

[Yae no Miko: "...But 'eternity' is too cruel for you, Kage."]

The eternity that the shadow seeks is 'eternity of stillness,' which means that the shadow itself will not move forward.

From the moment she entered the Pure Land of One Heart, Ying trapped herself in the past, trapped in the darkest period of her life.

This is why her 'Pure Land of the Heart,' or her spiritual space, is so dim.

That's why Yae no Miko said that such 'eternity' was too cruel to her.

It's the kind of situation where you trap yourself in your most painful period, spending every day in bed silently reflecting on your heartbreak and shedding countless tears.

Yingbao's actions were a case of harming the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred of his own. No, they didn't harm the enemy; they harmed his friends a thousand while destroying eight hundred of his own.

[Yae no Miko: "If you don't move forward, you'll miss out on so much... Aren't you also losing something by remaining here forever?"]

[“Enduring such loneliness, yet in the name of eternity, extending the timescale of this loneliness infinitely…”]

“Stretch out loneliness… infinitely…” Funina was stunned. How could this hurt me? Now she had to empathize deeply.

General Raiden endured loneliness for the sake of Inazuma's eternal life, and she too endured loneliness for Fontaine's fate.

The difference is that Shadow couldn't figure things out on her own, while Funina made this decision after she had thought things through.

The good news is that, like the real-life Funina, the character Ying in the story has her inner 'sky' illuminated.

The Pure Land of One Heart is Yingbao's inner world. The fact that this place is illuminated means that her heart is illuminated. Although it cannot be seen from her expression, Yingbao is actually very happy.

This is the downside of bringing people into the Pure Land of One Heart. Here, you can't lie about your inner thoughts at all. Just like the animal-eared girl, no matter how indifferent her expression is, her tail will betray her.

[Yae no Miko noticed this: "So... you're actually quite happy to see me again. You couldn't bear the loneliness here any longer, could you~?"]

[Shadow closes her eyes, denying: "I...have nothing to say."]

I thought Thor was only 'arrogant', but after getting into her heart, I realized that she also has a 'delicate' side.

Moreover, the Pure Land of One Mind 'shines' not when the Eightfold Divine Child appeared, but when the wish arose.

This also means that, in Shadow's heart, she had already been persuaded when she heard the wishes of her people, and the Divine Child was just giving Shadow a way out by playing the emotional card.

However, the contrast in the shadows did indeed allow readers to understand this deity better.

I used to think Thor was a emotionless 'machine,' but now I see him as a 'person' with feelings.

Some readers who were already considering switching sides to Thor are becoming increasingly hesitant, but they can still be patient and wait until Thor changes before switching sides.

“His strength is not bad, but... what a strange weapon, what terrible skills. As a martial artist, I can’t stand people who have strength but no martial arts skills. I’ll teach him.”

Chapter 219, Act Three, comes to an end.

[The Yae no Miko laughed, "Hehe, then I have so much to tell you. Oh, by the way, let me tell you about the events of the past few hundred years."]

Ying also smiled, "How long would it take to talk about something that happened hundreds of years ago?"

Most readers thought it was just ordinary casual conversation between two people, but some discerning people saw the problem.

Clever Fufu realized that what was originally meant to persuade Ying to 'give up' her current eternity and 'leave' the Pure Land of One Heart.
