Is there something wrong with playing Genshin Impact in the dungeon?

Therefore, with the combined efforts of the Emperor and Ningguang, many 'small events' had stalls set up in the central square.

Guessing lantern riddles, dragon lantern dances, lion dances...

and also……

"Hot and delicious glutinous rice balls are here!"

A cheerful and energetic girl led a group of 'dolls' carrying trays and hopping around as they entered the venue.

After more than half a month of gacha pulls, Ling Shu now has several more Genshin Impact characters available for summoning.

Among them is Xiangling, the Liyue Chef Queen.

It is said that it was because of her presence that the Kitchen God (Guoba) was able to create clones by consuming 'magic power' to fill the manpower gap, thus making it possible to catch up with the time, complete all the pre-event preparations, and thus ensure the smooth running of this celebration.

Why did Ling Shu go to all this trouble?

Perhaps he simply wants to see more people smiling.

Just like the song "Moon_Halo," even though its melody is very sad and the lyrics may subconsciously remind people of past pain, its theme... is still 'hope' that tends towards positive energy.

No more running away, face your past, get out of the trough, and keep moving forward...

Perhaps next time, it will be your turn to be the guiding light for others.

In order to avoid irreparable 'sacrifices' from that time onward, we must cherish every moment and enrich ourselves now.

At least, I won't have any regrets.

"Humans cannot exist eternally like gods."

"Therefore, 'inheritance' and 'unity' are important factors that complement 'progress'."

This profound historical heritage of his homeland taught him the ultimate philosophy.

The Liyue people of Teyvat also understand this meaning.

Ling Shu believes that the significance of a 'traveler' is not merely to allow 'himself' to experience the novel and diverse exotic customs.

In this process, he should also set foot in the region, so that he may experience some kind of 'wonderful' change.

Only in this way can it be considered a perfect 'story'.

in this way……

Tonight, under the cover of night and with the full moon high in the sky, as the bright lights rise into the heavens, the labyrinth city of Orario is about to usher in a new beginning.

Perhaps, there will be even more terrible difficulties and obstacles in the future, waiting for people to overcome and experience.

but……

Isn't this the kind of "great achievement" that "adventurers" yearn for?

Today's 'heroes' exist so that the world in the future will be so good that 'heroes will no longer be needed'.

But until the 'calamity' is completely eradicated...

"After many years, with the defeat of yet another 'ancient monster,' the 'race of heroes' in this era has officially begun."

This is the location of the altar deep underground of the 'Guild' headquarters, where the ancient god Uranus resides year-round.

At this very moment, the 'sage' who has survived for hundreds of years in a skeletal form stands on one side below the altar, his empty eyes looking at the god who has been offering 'prayer' to the dungeon in an attempt to quell its wrath.

"Without a doubt, whether in terms of reputation or strength alone... the most advanced group right now is the [Twin Stars]."

The sage who called himself the 'Fool'... Fels said calmly, "Although that title came about a little too early, he and she are indeed the most likely to become 'saviors'."

Hearing his evaluation...

“Since it’s a ‘hero race,’ there can’t be only one side of the racetrack.”

Uranus responded in a deep voice, “The ‘artificial heroes’ of the Loki Familia, the ‘god-made heroes’ scattered all over the world, the ‘former heroes’ hidden in the shadows, the descendants of ‘ancient heroes’… even everyone in this world.”

A thousand years after the gods descended to earth, the long-lost 'Age of Heroes' has quietly returned.

This is the ultimate 'unknown' that the gods have longed for, a supreme legend that should be written by all living beings in the lower realms.

In the end, who will come out on top?

The players and spectators, including Uranus, have all taken their places at this grand event.

Familiar Myth

Tonight, it begins.

******

Orario, to the east, atop the outer city walls.

"This time, it seems we've been out for too long."

"However, it was a worthwhile trip."

A man and a woman, both figures concealed within hooded black robes, watched the bustling scene in the central square, their lips curling into slight smiles of satisfaction.

He and she, once a "hero" and an "empress," also heard that captivating melody.

Just looking at it from a distance...

"Yes, it was worth the trip."

This is an affirmation from the 'strongest' seniors.

From now on, he and she will continue to remain in the shadows and pave the way for the 'next generation'.

"Speaking of which..."

Maxim (former leader of the Zeus Familia) looked at the elven woman beside him, "Metria's child is fifteen years old this year, isn't he?"

Strictly speaking, she was fourteen years old.

Rivera (former leader of the Hera Familia) casually replied, "Not yet fifteen."

"You're not young anymore."

Maxim tilted his head and asked, "Do you think it's possible that he..."

"To become a 'hero'?"

Rivera, who had instinctively answered, paused for a moment, but then chuckled and shook his head, saying in a tone that was half indulgent and half helpless, "Him... he's no good."

"Especially when living in the same era as such a formidable rival."

Hearing her evaluation like this...

“That old lecher (Zeus) values ​​him very much.”

Maxim raised his remaining arm, rested his chin on his hand, and pondered, "Although I don't know why that old lecher is so certain... perhaps we can look forward to it."

Even the 'weakest' and 'incompetent' children?

Rivera asked this question.

"Yes, even so."

Maxim grinned, revealing a hearty smile. "Don't forget, what changed us all was that incredibly weak, newborn baby."

"Think back to how short-tempered and stubborn you used to be, and compare that to how you are now..."

"And what makes you any better?"

"..."

The former "strongest" have all fallen silent.

a long time……

"Now that you mention it, I guess I'll have to look forward to it too."

Rivera spoke first, breaking the silence, "After all, they are 'our own' children."

"Right?"

Maxim smiled. "He, too, deserves to be looked forward to."

******

In a small, impoverished village on the outskirts of the Kingdom of Lachia.

A few weeks ago, most of the houses here were destroyed in an attack by a Scorpion split.

today……

"Uncle Elder, you can live in my house from now on."

"Bell, is this really okay?"

"Well, I won't need it anymore."

The boy, known as 'Bell,' smiled like an angel, 'I'll definitely come back to visit you when I have time.'

……

This boy, who is far from being strong, has been helping villagers repair their houses recently.

Now, he has completed the last thing he needed to do here.

So, what's next...?

"Grandpa, I've made up my mind."

The boy stared at his family's dilapidated door, instinctively clenching his fists, his eyes shining brightly. "I want to become an adventurer!"

That day...

A boy who aspires to be a 'hero' has already stepped onto his starting line when no one cares about him...

Another player has joined the 'Hero Race'.
