Genshin Impact: The Vision of Gods Shines Again

"Mu Xian..."

Frey's voice came from the bottom of her heart; it was the voice she had suppressed for twelve years.

Twelve years have brought about many changes.

Many of the Knights of Favonius' old friends have passed away, his daughter has grown taller than him, and there's Mondstadt...

Frey wanted to tell her son everything... She was afraid that Mu Xian wouldn't be able to fit in after returning to Mondstadt.

Out of fear, Frey kept many things.

The old room, the old photos, the old hall...

Gunnhild's mansion has never changed.

Even though the mansion became deserted after that year, Frey would light candles every single night.

She remembered a boy saying that candles could make her feel warm and cozy...

I also remember him saying that the warmest place he ever felt was his home.

—But, but Mom messed it up...

—Mom...Mom messed up this family.

Wiping away the mist that had appeared in her vision, Frey saw the little boy in front of her slowly growing up.

The boy, now grown up, seemed to have lost his smile, and his black hair appeared particularly striking.

But what's even more jarring is the person standing next to him.

That person wasn't me; it was someone completely unrelated.

-Why?

—His name is Mu Xian Gunnhild.

—It's not Hu Muxuan!

Frey looked at Mu Xian, hoping to discern other emotions in him.

But no...

There was nothing but indifference; it was like hearing a stranger speak.

The emotions that had been building up in her chest surged to the top of her head, taking over Frey's mind.

Breathing and maintaining balance seem to have become so difficult.

All that remained in their sight was Mu Xian.

She watched Mu Xian look away, then watched him turn away, and watched him leave without a second thought...

Finally, some emotion took over, and Frey spoke.

"stop!!"

...

The sounds from afar reached Mu Xian's ears, and Mu Xian felt somewhat irritated.

After hiding for so long, she finally recognized him.

It was still the same tone as before.

Oh well, I won't be staying in Inazuma anytime soon anyway.

"Captain, I'm leaving the task of stopping them to you."

Mu Xian turned to look at Bei Dou and said, "I'm afraid I won't be fighting alongside you this time."

"When did you become so shy?"

Beidou patted Mu Xian on the shoulder casually.

"Just do what you need to do, I'll take care of things for you, your big sister!"

"And I won't give up the fight just because I've lost you in these past five years."

"but..."

Mu Xian felt the right hand gripping his shoulder tighten.

"But remember to come back early."

"When you come back, I'll tell you how I dealt with that sea monster that capsized our ship back then."

The cheerful voice warmed Mu Xian's heart.

Before he could even speak, he noticed that Beidou was looking at him with a surprised expression.

"You little rascal, are you laughing?"

Surprise quickly turned into delight: "Big sister, I didn't help you for nothing after all. I'll accept your gift as a token of my gratitude."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xian paused, then touched the corner of his mouth.

It does seem to be rising; this seems to be the second time I've made this subconscious movement.

—But it's strange... I'm not that happy.

Mu Xian didn't think much of it; if Bei Dou was happy, then so be it.

"Captain, I'm counting on you."

As he spoke, Mu Xian glanced at the castle tower in the distance, and was about to leave when he was suddenly stopped by another figure.

It is Maple Plains Manyo.

At this moment, he looked at Mu Xian with a complicated expression, still holding a bright yellow katana in its scabbard.

"Tenmoku, Isshin, and even..."

Muttering to himself, Wan Ye handed the knife to Mu Xian.

"This famous sword was made with great effort."

"Although I don't know what you're planning to do, this weapon should be of great help to you."

As Wan Ye spoke, Mu Xian's gaze fell upon the katana.

He gripped the scabbard with one hand and drew the katana; the sound of the blade leaving the sheath was almost a slicing sound.

Under the cover of night, the light reflected from the blade shone on Mu Xian's face, revealing his furrowed brows.

"This knife doesn't have a name yet."

Even though he had seen it more than once, Wan Ye still exclaimed in amazement once again: "Why don't you give it a name?"

"name?"

Mu Xian quickly put the katana back: "I'm not suited to name it."

Well... it's not very handy.

The blade was far too light for this body.

If it were my old body, this knife would be the most suitable.

However, it is indeed a famous sword, much better than the bladeless sword.

Chapter 101 A Humble Mortal Reaches the Summit

Frey regretted it as soon as she said "Stop!"

The panic in her heart made Frey take a step forward, ready to explain that she hadn't said those words on purpose.

But before he could finish speaking, Mu Xian turned his head to look at him.

Mu Xian's gaze made Frey swallow the words she was about to say, and she instead tried to smile at Mu Xian.

But before he could even raise the corners of his mouth, Mu Xian looked away again.

Feeling like a fishbone stuck in her throat, unable to let go... that's how Frey felt at that moment.

She stared blankly as Mu Xian's gaze shifted away from her, as he spoke to the captain of the Death Star, as he accepted a sword from a samurai...

Frey didn't say anything; she just stayed there.

Frey believed that he would definitely come over and say a word to her.

Even if it's just a single sentence...

—Just one sentence...

Frey believed that if she said just one word, he would definitely return to Mondstadt.

The image of the boy from my memory appears.

She reached out, wanting to touch the boy's head.

But the moment his right hand touched that figure, his memory shattered.

The real scene came into Frey's view, but all she saw was the receding figure.

Frey desperately tried to chase after him, but was stopped by Hokuto raising his hand.

"Step aside!"

Frey once again revealed her imposing aura, her surging power pressing down on the captain.

Even the mighty sea and the Big Dipper have not retreated, let alone the threat of a single person.

"He doesn't seem to want to see you."

Beidou braced himself against the greatsword stuck in the ground: "Besides, I promised him I would stop you and the others."

The next moment, the blade of the one-handed sword was blocked by the broadsword, followed by Beidou's counterattack.

The wind howled and thunder roared, and the confrontation between the two created a deserted vacuum around them.

Then came the battle between the fleet members and the shogunate soldiers...

The shouts of battle gradually faded behind him, and Mu Xian, carrying the unnamed katana, quickly walked to the cherry blossom tree he had been standing under.

The cherry blossoms on the tree finally fell after a day.
