Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

The Flower Goddess is well aware of these outflows of her power, perhaps because her incomplete birth has led to the extreme nature of the spirits—even more extreme than the celestial spirits.

Without external factors, Lilupal would definitely choose to commit suicide after she completely dissipates; there is no doubt about that.

This is something that extreme spirit suppressors would inevitably do.

Therefore, the Flower Goddess chose to bestow her last bit of power upon Lilupal, and even helped her ascend to a higher level to some extent, all in order to allow Lilupal to live.

From this moment on, Lilupal represents not only herself, but also the extension and continuation of the Flower Goddess. Even for the sake of her mistress, Lilupal must live on.

This is a responsibility and a burden.

Lilupal was naturally aware of this as well. The Flower Goddess made no attempt to conceal her actions, but just as the Flower Goddess had anticipated, once she inherited this remnant of the Flower Goddess, she had already lost all choice.

So Lilupal fell silent. She hovered beside Su Feng's ear as before, but did not say a word until the group left the Eternal Oasis.

"My mistress... is always so gentle. Even though I am just a sinner who has committed unforgivable sins, she still used her last bit of strength for me, which makes me feel ashamed."

Looking back at the ever-collapsed Eternal Oasis, Lilupal couldn't help but utter these words. At this moment, even her silver bottle, which had been constantly shimmering, dimmed considerably. Clearly, the complete departure of her mistress had a great impact on her.

“I have no intention of commenting on the choice of that goddess of flowers, but I know that you have no choice now—the sins you have committed cannot be washed away, and unless the end of your fate comes to you, you do not even have the option of death.”

After hearing Lilupal's soft lament, Su Feng coldly expressed his opinion on the matter.

Whether it was the Flower Goddess or Lilupal, they were both sinners who violated the taboo. However, the Flower Goddess caused a bigger commotion, forcing Sky Island to personally punish her, while Lilupal's actions were much less serious.

But this does not mean that Lilupal's sins can be absolved—the sin of leading the abyss to devour the city of Gül cannot be washed away; the wailing souls floating and sinking in the abyss alone are enough to shut down any talk of forgiving Lilupal.

Given the complexities of the situation, living a long and painful life burdened by sin is now Lilupal's only option.

“Honorable Winged One, I have never intended to deny my sins, but please forgive me. I now bear all the wishes of my mistress, and it is impossible for me to cleanse my sins with death, but I will still pay the price I deserve.”

Lilupal didn't have much to say about Su Feng's almost icy words. Although she still didn't think her methods of revenge were too extreme, she never denied the crimes she had committed. Now, all she wanted was a change in the way she was punished.

"I have no objection to this, because fate will eventually bring you everything you deserve."

Su Feng had no doubt that Lilupal would receive the punishment he deserved—fate, which had already arranged everything, wouldn't even spare mortals, so how could someone as near-perfect as Lilupal, who could be blackmailed and was quite useful, be easily let go?

Are you kidding me? We won't let her go until we've squeezed every last drop out of Lilupal.

Anyway, Su Feng didn't think that guy from the textile industry could be so kind.

"It is only natural."

After listening to Su Feng's words, Lilupal gently shook her bottle to indicate her agreement, and then she started talking about another matter.

“Honorable Winged One, now... we can go to the city of Gur. My last fragment of divine soul is outside the city of Gur, and after that we can see what the city of Gur looks like now.”

Lilupal knew very well why Nasita and Sufeng had appeared here at this time.

She had seen the enormous anomaly in the desolate desert, and it was clear that before solving the problem of the desolate desert, the source of danger in the Thousand Valleys Sandy Land also needed to be stabilized or even eliminated.

"After thousands of seasons have passed, I also wonder how much of that once vast city and magnificent palaces will remain amidst the erosion of the abyss."

Lilupar remained extremely indifferent while recounting the events of Gül, indicating that even now she still harbors considerable hatred for her former husband. Her revenge against three generations of her husband's family, even at the cost of the entire city of Gül, has only served to alleviate her past anger.

She knew she was wrong, but she never regretted making that decision.

"Let's go take a look together. Hopefully, the problems in Gül City aren't too serious."

Nasita could certainly sense Lilupal's emotions, but there was nothing she could do about it. After all, spirits were not creatures that ordinary people could handle, and even the Crimson King had suffered a great loss at the hands of these little crazy bottles.

So now Nasida can only pray that she won't be scammed too badly.

......

Gul is no longer in Teyvat—because of Lilupal's insane actions, the entire city of Gul has actually sunk to a dimension closer to the abyss.

Of course, compared to the big event that the Red King orchestrated at the Red King's Mausoleum, which connected Teyvat and the Abyss, the situation in Gul City was much better—mainly because the Red King's reaction speed was quite swift after he gave everyone a big surprise in Lilupal.

At least in the end, the calamity of the abyss was indeed confined to the area where the city of Gül was located and did not continue to spread. In fact, the Red King even stabilized the fall of Gül, preventing this huge city from falling into the abyss instantly, thus opening up a huge passage into the mortal world.

Even the Red King could only slow down the fall of Gur City. Over the long years, this once hot sand capital continued to slide into the abyss. Now, only a sealed passage remains between Gur City and the mortal world.

And now they were heading towards this one and only remaining passage.

Chapter Eight: Let's get started!

The transformation and rise and fall of dimensions is not a simple matter. Why was Su Feng so shocked when he saw the passage that actually connected the two worlds under the Crimson King's Tomb?

It is because even opening a temporary passage is extremely difficult, and maintaining a permanent passage requires unimaginable effort and cost.

Even the passage beneath the Crimson King's Tomb was only achieved by the Abyss at an unknown cost, along with the Crimson King himself, a traitor.

Of course, the situation is quite different now that Teyvat is like a broken sieve with cracks everywhere. This is mainly because Teyvat has reached its end, but even so, it is still extremely difficult for the power of the Abyss to penetrate Teyvat on a large scale.

Similarly, pulling the massive city of Gul into the dimension of the abyss is a difficult and lengthy process. At least since Lilupal started his ruthless scheme, the city has been hovering between the mortal world and the abyss.

It's just that the current city of Juer is a bit closer to the abyss.

However, this does not mean that the city of Juer can be pulled back into the mortal world. After the terrifying power of the abyss has completely invaded every brick, every blade of grass, and every grain of sand in the city, and after everything has been stained with the color of the abyss, it is impossible to pull the city of Juer back unless we use the endless power of the light realm to completely cleanse everything.

However, if this were to be done, the entire city of Gur would be completely destroyed before the abyss could be completely eliminated due to the conflict and battle between the abyss and the power of the light realm. After all, a mortal city could never withstand such a terrifying energy conflict.

It would take unimaginable effort to reclaim a void space—that would be a huge loss, and Teyvat, already strapped for cash, doesn't have the luxury of such waste.

Fortunately, none of the three people who entered the city through the only passage to Gul City intended to bring Gul City back to the mortal world. They were only there to ensure that the city would not become a springboard for the Abyss to enter Teyvat.

"This city... is truly enormous. Although I had long known that the desert under the Red King's rule was exceptionally prosperous, it was only after seeing this city, which had once served as the capital of the entire desert, that I truly understood just how prosperous it was."

Upon entering the city of Gül and finally being able to see it for herself, Nasita couldn't help but exclaim: Compared to this city, which was once a desert capital and took countless manpower, resources, and a long period of time to build, the only thing that still makes Sumeru City somewhat special is the sacred tree that supports the entire city.

"Knowledgeable king, the former city of Jur was once the center of the entire desert. After conquering countless tribes, the arrogant and decadent royal family began to use endless slaves and endless energy machines to carry out endless construction and renovation of the city."

"It is under this cruel exploitation and madness that the entire city of Gül is different every day."

Lilupal didn't seem to care much about Nasita's astonishment. After all, the prosperity of Gul was built on endless pain and torment, and destruction was the city's ultimate fate—it didn't matter whether she was there or not.

"I understand. So now... what should we do with Gül City?"

"Although it has not yet completely fallen into the abyss and become a passage connecting the two worlds, I can feel that the power of the abyss is still accumulating in this city. If we cannot deal with this problem properly, this city may become a sharp blade stabbed from behind when we are dealing with the Burning True Celestial Phenomenon."

Nasita quickly put aside her amazement at the city of Gül; she was now more worried about the abyssal power that had accumulated within it.

Standing before this city, even Nasida had the illusion that she was nothing more than a tiny insect.

If the abyssal power contained within this city were to fully erupt, it wouldn't be difficult for it to blast open a large hole in the barrier of the mortal world, and the poisonous influence spreading from it could even pollute most of the desert.

That's why Nasita believed it was likely a sharp blade that would be stabbed from behind at a crucial moment.

This level of abyssal power is beyond what the Crimson King's seal can block, and even adding more seals would be useless. The only way to solve this problem now is to eliminate this abyssal power.

"Let me try to wear it down first. The power of these abysses is not so easy to deal with, especially since I'm not sure if there are any unknown powerful figures hiding here."

Su Feng, who also sensed the abyssal power hidden in the city of Juer, frowned. These abyssal powers were indeed difficult to deal with, especially since it was unknown whether there were any powerful figures from the abyss hidden in the huge city of Juer.

Fighting on the other side's territory is not a good feeling. Even though Su Feng has a continuous supply of light boundary power, he is not willing to face this situation. But now he can't just let these abyssal powers accumulate here.

"Nasita, take Lilupal into my dream first. That way, if we encounter any powerful beings from the Abyss side later, we'll be safer in the fight."

"And this also makes it easier for me to exert my power."

After pondering for a while, Su Feng decisively arranged for Nasita to enter his dream first. Bringing others into the dream along with their bodies was not too difficult for Nasita. As long as Nasita entered Su Feng's dream, no matter how dangerous the situation was, it would not endanger her and Lilupal's safety.

"Okay, I know!"

Naxida did not reject Su Feng's proposal.

She was also well aware of her own strength, especially when facing the Abyss Shell, which was completely unable to control the mind and dreams. The power she could exert was probably not much better than that of Lilupal, who had absorbed the last glimmer of the Flower Goddess.

As for Lilupar, she was nothing more than a weakling who couldn't even withstand the aftershocks of a battle when Su Feng got serious. So, the best option now was to take Lilupar to a safe place and not disturb Su Feng's performance.

So when Su Feng opened the dream world to her, Nasita did not hesitate at all and pulled Lilupal into the dream world together. After taking the two into his dream world, Su Feng turned his attention back to the vast city in front of him.

"Let's say hello first!"

After making preparations, Su Feng seemingly casually snapped his fingers, and then a dark, simulated black hole suddenly appeared in the sky above Juer City.

The next moment, a terrifying gravitational pull swept over them.

Chapter Nine: The Spiral of Endless Hatred

Gül is a rather large city; one could even say that its existence is more like a miracle to ordinary people.

If an ordinary person wanted to travel all over the city of Gül, it would probably take several months to see most of the city.

However, such miracles worthy of being recorded in epics are merely sung by mortals. For Su Feng, destroying a mortal city—even if every brick and tile of that city is now stained with the power of the abyss—is not a difficult thing.

Just like now, the gravity core he casually created has spread its powerful gravity throughout the entire city. At this moment, the heavens and earth seem to collapse instantly, and countless bricks and even magnificent buildings are lifted off the ground by the powerful gravity and swept towards the gravity core like a whirlwind.

If nothing unexpected happens, this gravitational core alone will be enough to completely engulf the entire city of Gül—in the end, nothing will be left here, and the so-called springboard for attacking the mortal world will have no possibility of storing power in advance.

But if nothing unexpected happens, then it means something unexpected is about to happen.

Or rather, this wasn't an accident at all, but something that was bound to happen.

Juer City is now a piece of meat in the Abyss's mouth. After so much effort, the Abyss can finally swallow this piece of meat. But now Su Feng wants to burn this piece of meat directly, and even plans to overturn the table where the meat is placed.

If he actually succeeds, it would be equivalent to all the efforts of the Abyss over thousands of years turning to ashes in an instant.

No matter how you look at it, this is absolutely unacceptable; even the mindless abyss itself would never allow such a thing to happen.

So Su Feng didn't have to wait long at all. Soon, countless dark tidal waves surged up in the seemingly lifeless city of Juer, and within these tidal waves, more terrifying and twisted magical beasts slowly revealed themselves.

Having finally realized what was happening, the Abyss began its somewhat belated counterattack.

"Ok?"

"Are these... former residents of Gül City?"

Upon seeing these twisted, unrecognizable monsters, Su Feng's eyes flickered slightly—although they were almost nonexistent, Su Feng could still sense the faint tremors of mortal souls within them. Clearly, the monsters that had appeared were transformed from mortals from the once-fallen city of Juer.

However, Su Feng did not show much change in expression. Although he had sensed the origin of these demons, he had no intention of saving these mortals.

He wasn't a demon god burdened with the responsibility of loving others, so what became of these mortals in the end was none of his business. Moreover, whether in the hands of Heaven or the Abyss, the souls of these mortals would probably not have a good end. In that case, the best outcome would probably be to simply and cleanly annihilate them all.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Feng prepared to make his move. A silent breeze, mixed with boundless light energy, began to blow through the city of Juer. The powerful wind sliced ​​through everything in its path, while the boundless light energy, taking advantage of its local numbers, completely overwhelmed the abyssal power.

"yarrr!"

Terrifying roars echoed throughout the city of Juer, as endless winds of light relentlessly cut and eroded the countless monsters. The conflict between these two opposing forces caused even the mindless and heartless monsters to wail in agony.

The abyssal power attached to the monster was annihilated, its body, purely composed of abyssal power, was melted away, and its deeply corrupted soul was scattered...

The city of Juer is teeming with demons, but these weak demons are nothing to Su Feng, and it is wishful thinking to expect them to have any effect on him.
