Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Log

[Silver Wolf: As for Eden, if Eden's passing symbolizes the complete end of the previous civilization, I agree. But personally, I feel that Eden's actions were more like a suicide for Alicia than a sacrifice for the era! *winks and smiles*]

[Alicia: Ah~ A true friend is hard to find in life, and Eden and I are best friends! Right, right, my dear Eden?]

Eden: Yes, Ellie is also my best friend. May we never be apart.

[March 7th: It feels so good to see you two chatting normally in the live stream. Yesterday's chapter on Eternal Paradise almost killed me! The original body had already died, but the memory body had to die again! It was so painful!]

[Ruri Gokou: Please don't make me recall such painful things! Honestly, following Mei's perspective on the stories of the Fire Chasers, I've truly become a fan, but I never expected this! That despicable Herrscher of Corruption! She's actually playing a match-3 game! The most pitiful one is my cat! My poor cat died three times! And each time it was because she opened a door for someone! Does it have to be like this? I can't accept it!]

[Black Tower: Prove you've played Paradise of the Past in one sentence.]

[Xingbao: Mei-nee... I don't want to die...]

【Kaguya Houraisan: Farewell, my dear audience!】

[Liang Bing: Go away! That joke is too creepy! And you better watch your step, @Paduo, stay far away from my door from now on!]

[Hmm~ Paddy shrank back and replied with an embarrassed laugh: Definitely! After all... I am indeed very afraid of dying! Hahaha!]

********

The Memory Serpent chose to sacrifice itself to protect Klein; Aponia asked Velvet to help her merge with Paradise in order to protect these beautiful memories that once existed; and Senju was willing to sacrifice himself to prove Sakura's innocence!

In contrast, the sacrifices made by Kevin and Sue were somewhat puzzling, and at first, many people didn't understand why they made them.

It wasn't until the answer was revealed that people were overjoyed – it turned out that all of this was a plan devised by the great magician Velvet, partly to allow Kevin to attack from inside the Herrscher of Corruption, but more importantly, to welcome back Alicia!

For this reason, Gretchen and Kosmo were also willing to sacrifice themselves to buy time for everyone!

Ultimately, Kevin's attack and Hua Ge's Taixu Sword God defeated the Herrscher of Corruption, who was merely imitating Alicia, and brought her back to her original form!

Among them, the most outstanding part is undoubtedly the attitude of the heroes and the Herrscher of Corruption towards life. The Herrscher of Corruption, who seems to cherish life, is just instinctively afraid of death. In order to live, He killed Alicia without asking why!

In the end, Velvi's plan succeeded. The death of the twelve heroes brought about Alicia's magnificent return!

The heroes proved one thing to the Herald of Corruption through their actions: only by understanding the meaning of life can one bear its weight! Some things, even at the cost of everything, must be done!

*******

As the conversation progressed, Gu, who was in the live stream, finished his lunch, and his next goal was to head to the Sea of ​​Quanta.

Before that, he took out his diary and, under the watchful eyes of Eriri and Sayuri, wrote down some thoughts.

[On the definition of the Thirteen Heroes of the Flame Chaser and heroes]

What initially drew my attention to the Thirteen Heroes? To be honest, it was because Alicia, Aponia, Eden, Velvet, Sakura, Mebius, Hua Ge, and Pado all fit my tastes.

People, after all, tend to care about their appearance.

Some might say that we should pay more attention to a person's inner qualities than their appearance.

But the harsh reality is that some people's appearance is simply unacceptable.

Who will care about your inner self anymore?

Loving beauty is human nature!

Everyone: ".....｀ ˇ." This is so true! (laughing and crying emoji)

Although I don't want to admit it, people who read the diary really feel the same way; it's human nature to love beautiful things!

[And on this basis.]

[I gradually learned about the story of the thirteen heroes.]

I also have some ideas.

For example, the "Jie" in "Thirteen Heroes" refers to the arrogant and unruly character, not the outstanding and remarkable one.

At first, I felt that the character "桀" (jié) didn't give off a good impression, but later I felt that it was the most fitting.

Some say that heroes can be roughly categorized into three types.

The first type is the hero of the group, like the knights of the Kaslana and Gunnhildr families. They would rather protect the people and uphold the interests of the entire group than sacrifice themselves. This type of hero is often more popular.

The second type of hero is the hero of others, someone who would sacrifice themselves for one person, even if it meant standing against the world. This type of hero often involves family, friendship, and love.

The third type of hero is one's own hero. In the face of life's adversities, one constantly encourages oneself to resist fate, strives to overcome the imperfections of the past, and continuously hones both personal strength and mental fortitude, repeatedly pushing the limits of one's abilities in the struggle.

What kind of heroes were the people from the previous civilization?

[In my personal opinion.]

All three types of heroes mentioned above are examples!

The term "英桀" (Ying Jie) comes from the character "英" (Ying), which already implies heroism, while "桀" (Jie) represents their style of doing things.

It will not be bound by any fixed form.

Instead, they have their own ideas.

[They are living, breathing people.]

Furthermore, past historical events actually illustrate a fact.

Heroes are particularly vulnerable to being backstabbed.

[Just like the female student Kiana saved in Sky City among the thousand Herrschers, who was bullied at school and disliked by her mother, she instead hated Kiana, hated why Kiana saved her, and hated those who had protected her!]

[And my wife, Jean, is the same. As the acting leader, she does her best to protect Mondstadt, but the Mondstadt people take advantage of her. Even though she's perfectly capable, these Mondstadt overgrown children leave the troublesome tasks of finding cats and dogs and taking care of their children to her.]

[The people of the previous civilization also had similar experiences. Fighting against the Honkai and saving the world were all for the greater good, but the higher-ups of the Firemoth were selfish and self-serving insects. At a time when the civilization was on the verge of collapse, they still thought about immortality. In order to make Mei and Mebius obey orders, they did not hesitate to send assassins and cut funds, and were completely hindering the progress.]

However, the question arises: is this situation everyone's fault? Clearly not; it's a human problem.

So, my takeaway is that no matter what kind of hero you want to become, you really need to take care of yourself first.

The next step is to identify who the true allies are.

Sometimes you have to be decisive, otherwise you'll be the one who suffers.

In the end... it's fate.

Of course, a little bit of strategy is also needed.

(To be continued...)

P.S.: Thank you 'Lulu's fan** for the flowers and votes!

Chapter 448 Spain: What?! The headmaster has already pulled out Judas to silence us?! (Funny image)

As they watched the words gradually appear on the copy of the diary and saw the three heroes in Gu Jing's eyes, Yingmei and the others also agreed.

There are actually three types of people in translation: those who benefit the country and its people, those who help others, and those who continuously improve themselves. These three types of people are undoubtedly seen as very positive and are the direction we should all strive for!

However, it was noticed that Eriri and Sayuri, who were just in the live stream, were gone, and the dishes on the table had been cleared away.

The seasoned viewers in the live stream immediately smiled knowingly. These two guys have a really rich knowledge base, and they're also willing to put it into practice. It's only the second day, and they're already treating tricolor dumplings as dessert? They've got potential!

That's exactly right. Unable to stand Eriri's slow pace, Mrs. Sayuri demonstrated the correct way to eat the tricolor dumplings.

Kneeling and meeting Gu Jing's gaze, Eriri smiled and winked at him. Seeing that she was enjoying her food and Gu Jing was smiling back without disturbing her, Eriri became a little sullen. Was this old woman doing this on purpose? Without saying a word, she snatched her three-colored dumpling and even seemed to be teaching her how to eat it? Honestly! Who asked her to teach her?

However, Eriri isn't the type to suffer in silence. You like taking what's mine? Can't I take what's yours?

She bared her little tiger teeth and shoved Little Lily aside, then swept the entire tricolor dumpling into her arms. She didn't seem to mind that Little Lily had just eaten from it, and devoured the large head in one gulp. Her feigned fierce expression resembled that of a puppy with its fur standing on end—she was extremely possessive of her food! No way you could take her tricolor dumpling!

Now it was Mrs. Lily's turn to feel dissatisfied. She had raised her with great care for 16 years, cooked for her every day, and even let her live in a big villa. And what did she get in return? She wouldn't even share a single bite of such delicious tricolor dumplings with her!

Since she wanted to eat it all by herself, she wouldn't hold back! With that thought in mind, Mrs. Sayuri started fighting with Eriri for it!

The struggle between the two did not affect Gu's side; on the copy of the diary, words were still appearing one by one.

[Wanting to be a hero, but not wanting to be betrayed.]

This undoubtedly requires a bit of strategy.

A concrete example is the story of the three Bian Que brothers.

[It is said that King Wen of Wei sought advice from Bian Que.]

[Inquire about which of his three brothers is the best doctor.]

Bian Que answered truthfully that among his three brothers, his eldest brother was the best physician, his second brother was next, and his own was the worst.

King Wen of Wei was greatly puzzled by this and pressed further, asking, "Why do you consider yourself the worst physician, yet your reputation is known throughout the land?"

Bian Que replied, "My elder brother cures illnesses by eradicating the root cause before the symptoms even appear. His medical skills are so superb that outsiders are unaware of them, only family members know, hence his lack of fame."

"My second brother treats illnesses when they are in their early stages and the symptoms are mild. Although his medicine is effective, the villagers think he is only a doctor who can treat minor ailments, so he is not very famous."

"I treat patients when their conditions are critical and they are in great pain. I use acupuncture, oral and topical medications, and even surgery, and I can always turn their condition around and gradually bring them to a full recovery. Everyone thinks my medical skills are miraculous, which is why I am famous throughout the world."

Everyone: "—!!!" (Beautiful girl in shock.jpg)

Paimon and the others, who were hearing this story for the first time, couldn't help but widen their eyes, with only one sentence echoing in their minds: This is amazing!

Being simple-minded, they never thought about such things. They simply felt that helping was the right thing to do, and their motivation stemmed from their inherent goodness. In a sense, the schemes of the three Bian Que brothers truly opened a new world for them!

Of course, as you all know, I don't really like these things.

Because it felt too deliberate.

Moreover, in the information age, there are even better methods.

In other words, controlling public opinion.

News, movies, novels, songs, comics, games...

In my spare time.

Aren't these the things people use to pass the time?

But these alone are not enough.

For example, I once heard a very interesting question: How much money does a person actually have?

The answer falls into three categories: first, how much savings you actually have; second, your credit score, which can help you get money out of other people's pockets; and third, how much money others perceive you to have.

Let's leave the first scenario aside for now.

The latter two scenarios are clearly included here to attract attention.
