Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Log

Chapter 291 Emerald: The unreachable light is not hope, but poison.

At Liumeng Reef, when Gu Jing and his group found the robin, she was still teaching the children to sing, with an old lady beside her.

From their conversation, we can learn that these children were all adopted by the old lady, and each of them has their own misfortunes in reality. Some are blind, some have lost their legs... But what is touching is that they are not too discouraged by this.

Moreover, they did not linger too long in the beauty of dreams, but simply learned how to live in dreams and then survive in reality.

[March 7th: If wings are unfortunately damaged, then lend wings to each other. Don't covet the illusory sky of dreams, for we have the right and the ability... to fly to a wider world. Well said, Miss Robin!]

[Jade: Admittedly, this is indeed a very positive and optimistic idea, but don't accuse me of deliberately nitpicking. For those who resist darkness, light that can be seen but cannot be reached is definitely not hope, but poison.]

[Ruan Mei: Then wouldn't it be better to make this light tangible? Physical disabilities aren't necessarily incurable. If they can't be cured temporarily, prosthetics can be used. Overcoming the technical difficulties is the interest and work of us scholars. As for those who are in darkness but striving to "move towards the light," only by surviving can there be infinite possibilities.]

[Aista: Oh! That's wonderful! Ms. Nguyen Mai is shining brightly today too!]

[Jade: But none of this is free, is it?]

[Robin: I've actually considered this. Even without the support of the [family], I can establish a private foundation to provide financial assistance to those in need, based on the actual circumstances.]

[Robin: Perhaps my support cannot make it completely free for them, but if they have a heart set on the light and possess certain work abilities, I think this support is enough to help those in need reach the light more quickly.]

Jade: "..." Auntie remained silent.jpg

Clearly, this Miss Robin did not make this decision on a whim. Her courage and kindness in knowingly venturing into dangerous territory moved even this loan shark.

However, some things can't be done just by talking. Let's see how far this robin can go.

Before officially launching the operation, Gu Jing led Ji Zi and the others to the cemetery of the three men, Tie Ernan. There, Huang Quan placed a bouquet of flowers in front of Tie Ernan's tombstone.

Everyone was puzzled, but they noticed a familiar vibration coming from the copy of the diary, and new diary entries appeared.

[About Huang Quan (Lightning, Guardian of the River of Oblivion, Mei)]

Some may still be wondering why Huang Quan laid a bouquet of flowers at Tirnan's grave.

[It is necessary to explain this point.]

The story continues from the end of the previous diary entry.

[When her hometown was swallowed up by XI (Ix), Mei was also plunged into a "nothingness" destiny, but she did not give up on herself.]

Like the catcher in the rye, she chose to become the "watcher of the underworld."

[It guards the path leading to the abyss of "nothingness".]

[Watch over those who refuse to fall into "nihilism" and leave "nihilism."]

[Tirnan is one of them.]

【Video.rmvb file】

Clicking on the video reveals a stunning CG image: on a misty seashore, Huang Quan, holding a red paper fan, and an old man wearing a straw hat stand facing the sea breeze, gazing at the vast ocean and the black sun ahead.

Through Gu Jing's diary entries, people know that the old man is Tiernan, or more accurately, the Blood Sin Spirit.

Blood Spirit, the obsession of the Fate Walker, was born from the shadow of XI. It still sees itself as the person involved and keeps repeating the behavior of the deceased. It was born from "nothingness" and then went towards the meaningless "nothingness".

However, their conversation is also quite intriguing—

[The nearly vanished Tirnan sighed deeply: "To be in the 'nothingness' yet have to watch over people as they leave... what an absurd and meaningless mission."]

[Huang Quan responded softly: "But someone has to accomplish it. As for the significance you mentioned... even without it, haven't I gotten to where I am today?"]

[Tirnan pressed further: "Even if the future you've created might not belong to you?"]

[But Huang Quan had clearly considered this question as well: "It may not belong to me, but it will definitely belong to someone else."]

[This answer silenced Tirnan: "Your past must have been so difficult... In that case, let me do something meaningless... Finally, please tell me your name. Perhaps the next moment, my existence will vanish... No one will remember this conversation, or your answer... But I still believe... Your name should be remembered... And this universe... will remember it too."]

[Huang Quan paused for a moment: "There are some things I can hardly recall, but there are also things I can hardly forget. This is 'memory,' something created in the past that can blossom with meaning in the distant future. I still remember that it was the starting point of my journey, the red origin of my life, the most intense and passionate thing in every storm..."]

"That's my name..."

[“Thunder, River of Oblivion Guardian, Mei.”]

Everyone: "..." (Image showing goosebumps)

When Huang Quan said his name, Silver Wolf and the others in front of the screen felt a tingling, electric sensation on their scalps.

Over the course of more than a century, Huang Quan and Tiernan have guided the obsessions of many of their fellow seafaring knights.

This frees these blood-stained spirits from the clutches of "nothingness."

[Tirnan was eventually extradited as well.]

Before vanishing, Tirnan entrusted his keepsake—a bullet symbolizing heroism—to the Underworld, asking her to return it to the Sea Ranger. This bouquet of flowers also represented Tirnan's final wish before his disappearance.

However, the Sea Rangers, who have long since disappeared from the galaxy, are not easy to find.

That's why Huang Quan calls himself a sea-patrolling knight-errant.

[Use this to fish.]

The fish I wanted to catch hasn't come yet.

A curious black swan beat them to it.

But we must admit—

[Mei, the Lightning Guardian of the River of Oblivion, is indeed a name worth remembering...]

[Ever since I beat up that white caterpillar on the rooftop of Chiyu Academy back in the day.]

【I, Mei, never play in low-elo games!】

Pfft~ Some people who were amused burst out laughing, and Huang Quan, Mei, Chongchong, and Black Swan were all a little embarrassed.

[Fireworks: My dear sister @BlackSwan, what are your thoughts on this?]

[Black Swan: Learn from your mistakes; don't easily step into someone's memories, especially theirs, before you're fully prepared.]

[Kiana: I never expected I'd have this effect on Mei. Since hitting me makes me stronger, Mei, please hit me a few more times! (Grinning face)]

[Raiden Mei: This must be a joke from the Captain, right? Don't take it seriously, Kiana. (laughing and crying emoji)]

After that, the group, led by Gallagher, saw Mikhail's remains, but the dream bubble left by Mikhail was still empty.

This is because the approach of the Star Train made Misha sense the power of "Exploration". He had already left the Dream Bubble and his memory had seeped into the real world, so Misha could move around in the real world. However, apart from the Nameless Guest, no one could see him.

Having uncovered the truth about Misha, the will of "pioneering" has been passed down from its predecessors to the shoulders of Himeko and the others.

"Everyone gets lost at times, hesitant and unsure which way to go."

"It exists in this dream."

"It also exists anywhere outside of dreams."

"But there's no need to be afraid. Just as people feel lost, there are moments when they also make a bold yet remarkable decision..."

"Whether it is calm, joyful, angry, or sad."

"All they need is a little push, and then they can take a step forward and move towards their own future."

"I'm leaving this small amount of power to you, and I hope you'll share it with more people..."

"That's the clockwork trick."

"0.6 is the will of 'pioneering'."

"The hands of a clock go round and round, just like people's confusion, troubles, and weaknesses... swinging endlessly, but in the end, people still have to move forward."

"Like your pointer, it always points ahead."

"My journey has come to an end."

"From now on..."

"This is your path."

Those watching on screen were deeply moved as they witnessed Mikhail gifting his pocket watch and hat to Xingbao.

Himeko: "Pioneering" means traversing paths left undone by predecessors, going even further... Are you ready? Let's go!

[Starbaby: Mmm! I, Galaxy Hatter, can't wait!]

[Fireworks: Great! With a baseball bat, you're Bat Man; with a top hat, you're Top Hat Man! Go, Little Grey!]

With a slight smile, Gu Jing didn't say much. He snapped his fingers to speed up time, and the group arrived in front of the boss of this level.

PS: I'm actually a bit conflicted about writing this, since there's clearly an even bigger mastermind behind it all after 2.2, but... there's no way around it, 2.3 is out of the question for now, I can only focus on my brother-in-law for now.

The image shows jade.

Chapter 292 Fireflies: Fireflies fly towards the flame, living even in the face of death!

In the blink of an eye, they arrived on the stage of the Pinocchio Grand Theatre. Looking at the giant robot in front of them, Xingbao and the others received the corresponding memories.

It turns out that Gu Jing had already led them across time to the point when the Harmonious Music Ceremony officially began. This giant robot was none other than Dominix, the embodiment of Harmony, the "Qi Xiang Choir," but it had already been usurped by Sunday.

It's terrifying to think that, because the memory matter constantly seeps into the real world, the power of "order" can also make people unknowingly fall into the "Dream of Taiyi".

Once trapped in the "Dream of Taiyi," it becomes difficult to escape this dream through personal force; instead, it transforms into a tug-of-war of wills!

Because this dream is a synesthetic dream composed of thousands of different individuals, when everyone else wants to stay in the dream, unless your personal will can outweigh the collective will, you will never be able to return to reality.

Specifically, it's like the situation right now—

Across timelines, they followed a path that avoided cooperation with the gold dust, but Gu Jing single-handedly led everyone out of the "Dream of Taiyi," a direct and forceful confrontation that thrilled Himeko and the others!

*********

Meanwhile, looking at Gu Jing and the others who had emerged from the dream, the God of the Sun, whose divinity outweighed his humanity, still couldn't hide his astonishment: "Have you broken free from the dream of 'order'? In that case, I will grant you all the right to look directly at the sun..."

"chorus--"

"A united voice of the people!"

The large, black-and-gold robot waved its baton, and musical notes formed a visible musical staff in the void. With each wave of the baton, these notes transformed into streaks of light that shot forth, and the battle began.

Faced with the incoming musical notes, Gu Jing, with a slight smile, raised his hand and pinched, and one after another, emerald-gold energy films enveloped Huang Quan and the others.

Then came Gu's voice, tinged with laughter: "This is the first time we've truly joined forces to fight an enemy since we came into this world."
