Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Log

"If you'd like to hear it, of course, no problem."

******

In fact, Columbia's voice is exactly the same as Aponia's in the neighboring "Honkai Impact 3rd", both having a rather bland tone with little emotional fluctuation.

However, when he started humming a song, it was somewhat unexpected. The sorrowful emotion was completely conveyed through his melodious singing, allowing everyone present to feel the sadness.

However, Gu Jing's gaze held a strange undertone when he glanced at the woman, though the woman herself was unaware of the reason.

Those who were already familiar with Gu Jing didn't need his reminder; they skillfully opened their copies of the diary, and sure enough, words were appearing on the pages.

[About Colombia (singing) —]

To be fair, the little pigeon's song is indeed very beautiful.

Even though I don't understand music.

I can still feel the sadness she expressed through her singing.

However... this song is also the one used for the winter night's foolish play.

[He lay prone on Rosalind's coffin.]

Columbia used this hymn to mourn Rosalind's passing.

【this...】

Looking at the table full of food in front of me.

[Then look at Rosalyn, who's giving me a death stare.]

[The feeling of attending a banquet.]

[It surged up all at once.]

Pfft~ Those who were tickled, such as Sandone, Yingmei, and Paimon, couldn't help but laugh out loud, while the lady's face turned ashen.

I really can't eat anything today!

I'm so angry at that bastard!

On another note—

If the Colombian race truly were celestial beings.

What was it that she was mourning?

As far as I know, the era in which celestial beings were active can be traced back to at least before the war between demons and gods.

[Detailed research.]

[Of course, it's still "The Story of the Sun and Moon".]

******

The following is a record of what happened after the original humans created humankind.

[①The Year the Ark Opened: The Primordial One had a divine plan for humanity. He rejoiced as long as humanity was happy.]

[②The year after the ark opened its doors: People cultivated the land and harvested their first crop. People dug and found their first precious gold. People gathered and wrote their first poem.]

[③The Year of Carnival: If there is famine, food and rain will fall from the sky. If there is barrenness, minerals will be produced on the earth.]

If melancholy spreads, the heavens will respond with a voice.

The only thing forbidden.

[It's all about succumbing to temptation.]

But the path to temptation has been blocked.

[④ The Year of the Burial Fire: The second throne in the heavens arrived, as if the great war at the beginning of creation had begun again. On that day, the heavens collapsed and the earth cracked. Our ancestors, the people of the abyss, and the land they had inhabited for generations, fell into this place. The dark ages began.]

[Based on Gu's speculation.]

The Celestial Clan was most active between the Year of Carnival and the Year of Burial Fire.

[So what exactly happened during this period?]

The events described in "The Past of the Sun and Moon," which are somewhat omitted from the content, are not mentioned.

【but--】

[This corresponds exactly to the description of the four sacrificial crowns.]

The order of the ceremonial caps is: Ice Offering Ceremony Cap → Fire Offering Ceremony Cap → Water Offering Ceremony Cap → Thunder Offering Ceremony Cap.

The four sacrificial crowns correspond to the earth being frozen, the earth thawing, the heavens bestowing rain, and... the extinction of civilization.

And it wasn't just once or twice.

[But many times.]

[Frozen, thawed, developed, perished...]

[Frozen, thawed, developed, perished...]

******

Inside the palace, Columbia's humming continued, but the melody grew increasingly melancholic, causing Arecino and the others who witnessed this to widen their eyes in disbelief.

It's understandable that they were unsettled; the fact that human civilization had been wiped out multiple times by Sky Island was truly terrifying!

[The Celestial Spirit Clan.]

The true title is "messenger of God."

The purpose of the spirits' existence is to help and guide humanity.

But the results were not ideal.

Excessive prosperity breeds pride and ambition.

These human civilizations all ultimately sought to challenge the authority of Sky Island.

The result is self-evident.

[Another passage appears in the water-offering ritual cap, which represents the 'development' stage.]

"People enjoy prosperity and reap abundant harvests. At this time, the earth is blessed and governed by the heavens, and the elements flow smoothly and orderly. A hundred years of bountiful harvests have been written into a sacred plan, and there can be no change whatsoever."

"But what about a hundred years from now, a thousand years from now?"

Will this fertile land turn into barrenness and famine?

"Will our altars and palaces also be buried deep within the earth, accompanied only by silvery-white wood?"

"A heavenly messenger who always speaks his mind."

"No response."

"To understand destiny, the high priest, wearing a white crown of branches, went to the deepest parts of the earth."

Oh wow—!

Done!

Knowing the consequences, Yingmei and the others couldn't understand why these guys would try to attack the ley lines at the slightest difficulty.

[It is obvious that this is the truth behind the extinction of the pre-existing civilization, discovered by later civilizations.]

That's why I couldn't help but raise this question.

[And they also targeted the ley lines.]

However, the entire continent of Teyvat is still under the control of the Sky Isles!

[Take action against the ley lines.]

Civilization, of course, became extinct as a result.

But why did the Celestial Race decline?

I think the only logical explanation is that the celestial race chose to help human civilization.

In a sense.

These human civilizations are like their own children to the Celestial Race.

However, the Sky Isles, who were determined to preserve the continent of Teyvat, repeatedly destroyed human civilizations that sought to rebel.

The immortal race, whose wounds had been accumulating, could no longer endure this suffering.

They raised the sword of rebellion to the heavens.

That's why the gods of Sky Island cursed them.

[It has become like this.]

[Wandering in the wild, always appearing dazed and confused.]

[Occasionally, you might encounter a kind passerby (the blonde auntie and her emergency food).]

Send them home.

[In the blink of an eye, they've emptied their coffers (treasure chests).]

In an instant, Arecino and the others all turned their gazes toward Infrared and Paimon.

The two lively characters, who were eating and drinking heartily, inevitably felt a little guilty and unconsciously looked away under their gaze.

But... is it wrong to like opening treasure chests?

Is there anything wrong with the fact that they willingly gave away their entire fortune to help the fairy return home?

This is all consensual and perfectly reasonable, okay?

******

[There is also the goddess of flowers.]

I had misunderstood her character before.

I thought she was a bad woman.

But she isn't.

However, the misunderstanding wasn't too deep.
