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

Actually, Paimon was overthinking it, because at that moment the stragglers were filled with extreme self-loathing and had no interest in caring about them.

All he wanted to do was delete himself; he had no intention of changing anything else. Otherwise, Nasita would have made her move before he finished deleting himself.

But Paimon didn't know that the more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, flying around aimlessly, and then accidentally breaking a cup.

The traveler quickly asked with concern, "Paimon! Are you alright?"

The cups and such don't matter, I just hope little Paimon doesn't get hurt.

Paimon shook his head: "Sorry, it was an accident... It's all because the skirmishers were too scary!"

It was quite frightening; even the traveler was a little worried. She wasn't worried about it affecting her, but rather about it affecting her friends.

[“(The worst-case scenario... those connected to the Five Transmissions of Lightning—Kaedehara Manyo, Kamisato Ayaka, Kamisato Ayato—will they all be affected...will they disappear?!)”]

The butterfly effect of losing even one person in history can be terrifying.

If Niwa hadn't died, his descendant Niwa Hisahide might not have been adopted by the Kaedehara family, and there would be no Manyo.

If Raiden Goden hadn't been involved in the incident, the political situation under that company would have been completely different. Would the Kamisato siblings have been born? And would the one born still be 'them'? It's hard to say.

Chapter 821 A Futile Act

The traveler's concerns are based on the premise that 'history can be changed,' but from a future-oriented perspective, the traveler and Paimon's current worries are completely unnecessary.

This shows that even though the traveler has already experienced a 'deletion', he still doesn't understand the operating rules of the World Tree.

Teyvat's fate is like a movie playing, and Yggdrasil has no right to edit it. If you really want to say something, only Yggdrasil, the 'editor' appointed by Yggdrasil, can make some edits.

If things were so easy to change, there would be no need for the 'loom of fate'.

You can't blame the traveler for being foolish; after all, the disappearance of the Great Tree King did take away at least the Demon Scale Disease and forbidden knowledge.

From this perspective, deleting oneself seems to actually change the reality, rather than just affecting cognitive memory.

In fact, travelers have overlooked one point: forbidden knowledge is something that exists outside the world.

In the story, Paimon is so scared that he can't sleep, so he starts reciting the names of dishes.

While others who can't sleep say they're born in the Year of the Sheep, she recites the names of dishes – quite unique indeed.

Paimon said, "Hmm, the first one is... Mondstadt grilled fish! And wild mushroom chicken skewers, manor pancakes, white sauce vegetable stew with meat, buttered matsutake mushrooms..."

[“And there’s also tender and spicy chicken, almond tofu, a satisfying salad…and more, ’Immortal Jumps Over the Wall,’ shredded shrimp balls, braised shredded vegetables, lotus seed and poultry egg custard…”]

Golden shrimp balls! Keqing keenly caught the keyword and suddenly felt a little hungry...

Not only her, but Paimon also made the audience hungry. We're sitting here watching a movie late at night, and you're 'poisoning' us with food in the movie!

Funina's little belly made a soft growl, causing her pretty face to blush.

Luckily, the movie theater was quite loud, so I don't think anyone heard her stomach growling.

Frynn is a 'goddess of drama'; her emotions are very obvious when she doesn't hide them, but if she wants to act, no one can see her acting skills.

She quickly suppressed her shyness, her expression returning to a confident smile, and she gracefully watched the show with her leg crossed over.

But when he saw Arecino, who was also crossing her legs, he unconsciously put his legs down again, put his two long white legs together, and sat up straight.

Meanwhile, Paimon, who was sitting in front, had already gotten his food from the traveler and was eating.

Seeing this made Fulina even hungrier; her stomach growled, but thankfully no one heard it...

It wasn't that no one was there; Aikefei had very accurately captured the sound of "Hungry Lord."

Oh no! Lady Funina is hungry, but I'm sitting so far away! There's nothing I can do!!!

Lady Furina! Which of the dishes reported in Paimon's newspaper do you like to eat? Please tell me! I will definitely make them for you!

In fact, Funina had eaten all those dishes. She had often eaten at Xiangling's restaurants while following Lin Qiu, and the Traveler was a master chef, so she had eaten them even without Aikefei cooking them.

Aikofei: There's a cow!

The perspective then shifts to Varesa, who has bull horns, and she is currently completely bewildered by the story.

I don't understand it, but it seems like that bad guy is going to do something bad, and a hero needs to step in!

Then her stomach rumbled loudly, completely drowning out Funina's soft voice.

Vanessa rubbed her stomach. "Paymon, stop rattling off the menu! I'm getting hungry again! We just ate a little while ago..."

Perhaps because she heard Vanessa's 'prayer', Paimon in the story really stopped reciting the menu. She even wondered what she had just been doing.

A slight 'dizziness' effect appeared on the screen, and Paimon looked puzzled after the effect wore off.

Paimon had forgotten about the stragglers, and the traveler was once again left to remember alone.

The traveler seemed a little impatient; she told Paimon that she wanted to go to Inazuma together, worried that something might happen to her friends there.

The Kamisato siblings and others watched from the audience, also curious about whether 'themselves' would change.

The fact that 'history cannot be changed' is not yet a consensus.

In the story, the traveler rushes to Inazuma overnight to inquire with Tenmoku Juju (the head of the Tenmoku school) about the Five Transmissions of Lightning.

What is Nasita doing on the other side, who hasn't shown any reaction? Perhaps she's reading her own fairy tale; it's perfectly reasonable for a child to read fairy tales.

Tenmoku Fifteen was still a bit confused when the traveler asked about the Five Transmissions of Lightning. "Don't you know about the Five Transmissions of Lightning? Why are you asking again?"

However, the old man was easygoing, and when the traveler asked, he simply answered, and began to explain:

"The 'Five Transmissions of Raiden,' once renowned in Inazuma, consisted of these five branches: Tenmoku, Tsutsu, Isshin, Hyakume, and Senju."

Everyone knows this, especially Jingjin, which has produced some very impressive figures. As expected of Jingjin, even without the sound of "Ji" (冀), he is still very strong.

"Later, these sword-forging families gradually declined. Of those that have survived to this day, only our 'Tianmu' lineage remains."

These words startled everyone. Only the "Tenmoku" lineage? Could it be that Isshin's side has also been wiped out?

Yes, if there were no stragglers, wouldn't there be no reason to let 'Niwa' go? He would probably be dead by then!

Fans of Manyo are getting anxious, but Manyo himself remains quite calm.

Tenmoku Juju continued, "Fortunately, Kaedehara Manyo recently returned to Inazuma and inherited the 'Isshin Den' technique. With that, there are now only two remaining of the five lineages."

Fans of Manyo breathed a sigh of relief; why was this old man talking so heavily...?

It's good that Manyo is alright; viewers who like Manyo no longer care whether the scattered soldiers have disappeared.

However, the traveler in the story was still curious about the impact of the disappearance of the scattered soldiers, so he continued to ask how the Five Transmissions of Thunder and Lightning had been lost.

Tenmoku Fifteen's answer to this was, "I was retaliated against by the descendants of the swordsmith."

When the Kage's furnace was damaged in an accident, Dan Yu and a swordsmith went to resolve it. The crisis was eventually averted, but they also perished in the disaster.

The swordsmith's son was left to live the life of an orphan, uncared for and filled with hatred.

This hatred was passed down through generations until it finally erupted in a certain generation, with the enemy's revenge targeting the Five Transmissions of Lightning.

Just like the disappearance of the Great Tree King, nothing else changed; only a different 'person' was assigned to accomplish these tasks.

The stragglers spent their whole lives searching for meaning, thinking that their act of self-deletion was their final meaning, but unexpectedly, it all turned out to be meaningless.

Such a story is heartbreaking. It's the first time the people of Teyvat have experienced the coercive nature of history. For those who feel regret, it's too sad. After much reflection, all that remains is a sigh.

Besides feeling a sense of regret, I also found it incredibly amusing.

The characters in the story 'remembered' history incorrectly, while they themselves remembered the true history. This subtle feeling gave them a sense of 'only I understand' satisfaction.

For the stragglers, this fact was not just a feeling of regret, but a feeling of despair.

The stragglers' eyes widened, their pupils contracted, and they kept asking: Why?

Why did it end like this? Why did I fail again?

Why?! God... please tell me what I should do...

Chapter 822 Sense of Emptiness

What the stragglers found most unbearable was: why did Niwa still die?

Is there no way for Niwa to return to a peaceful life and die of old age?

The stragglers gritted their teeth, wondering if the only thing truly 'eternal' was this unchangeable history.

The biggest difference seems to be that Niwa's reputation has improved; he is no longer a coward who 'fled from justice'.

But this was clearly not the outcome the scatterer wanted. He wanted Dan Yu to survive and for Lei Dian Wu Chuan to pass away unharmed.

In retrospect, even if his original intention was to atone for his sins, it actually manifested as a form of escapism.

There were other ways to 'rehabilitate' them, but he still chose this seemingly most useful 'shortcut,' which turned out to be a dead end.

Given his mindset as a stragglers who saw the truth at the time, it's not surprising that he chose this path, because back then he hated himself more than others.

But as it turns out, the person who hated him didn't die...

In doing so, he has simply cleared his name, but he is still the same 'Scaramucci' (cowardly escapee), unchanged.

Judging by his intentions but not his actions, he was indeed atoning for his sins, but judging by his actions but not his intentions, he made another big mistake.

It failed... yet another failure...

As a bystander, the stragglers naturally realized this, and their emotions gradually returned to calm.

He will, no, he absolutely must change. He will no longer be a 'cowardly escapee.' He will bravely face it. He can die, but he cannot die meaninglessly anymore.

He felt a bit more grateful to Lin Qiu, because thanks to Lin Qiu's spoiler, he avoided a meaningless 'death'.

At this moment, he was unaware that he was not actually 'dead' yet, and that he could not completely erase himself from his past.

However, he hasn't appeared yet since he was 'deleted', otherwise he would feel even more 'ashamed'.

That's what it looks like when his facade of inferiority, which he used to feign, has been shattered.

It's obvious that the rest of the Fools will definitely launch a 'loud mockery'.

Returning to the story, the traveler in the story arrives at the Kamisato residence, intending to take another look at the Kamisato family's situation.

Ayaka and Ayato were quite happy to see how much the traveler in the story cared about them.

Ordinary people are definitely not allowed to enter the Kamisato Residence, but who is the traveler? She is the woman that Ayaka told her to "keep a close eye on me".

No one stopped the traveler, and Yingmei entered the Kamisato residence without any hindrance and began to stroll around, then asked someone about the recent situation of the Kamisato siblings.

Such behavior of inquiring about the family's current situation would have aroused suspicion in others, but everyone is open and honest with travelers.

The traveler learned enough information from the conversation, and nothing had changed about the Kamisato family.

However, the conversation did get Grandma Furuta talking a lot.

[Grandma Furuta said, "Miss Furuta often mentions you. She seems very happy to have a friend like you, and says that you are very capable in every way, which is admirable."]

Those who ship Ying and Ayaka say: Let's go over all aspects in detail.

This was a golden opportunity to decisively defeat the Yoshimiya Party, but unfortunately, Granny Furuta didn't elaborate.

The traveler proceeds to the third location, stepping on sand.

The person I met after arriving here was not Inatsuma, but a Fontaine man named Xavier.

The man who once helped travelers resolve the crisis at Ta Ba Sha is still there. The travelers happen to have a question for him and hope he can introduce the history of Ta Ba Sha.

Xavier was also very obedient and told the traveler everything he knew.

For example, Tabuan has experienced two crises. In addition to the one in recent years, there was another one a hundred years ago. Coincidentally, the Fontaine people appeared in both crises.

The difference is that the real Fontaine saved Ta'er, while the fake Fontaine was the cause of the Ta'er crisis.

[A traveler asked: "Have you heard of the 'Kabuki' in Tabusa?"]

Xavier said he had never heard of them, but if there really were such people, he would like to meet them—those eccentric and oddly dressed individuals.

That's right, I'm talking about you, Ichidou.

Currently, the only ones in Inazuma who can be called "Kabuki-sha" are Ichito and Yonomiya.

Xiaogong was alright, only his clothes were a bit unconventional. Yidou was different; he was unconventional from head to toe, even his ox was unique.

After speaking with Xavier, the traveler understood the 'history' of the moment and decided to return to Mount Sumeru to see Nasita.
