Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

There are still beautiful things that remain...

Darkness completely engulfs the Fox Palace. In the next panel, cherry blossoms fall from the Divine Cherry Tree. Is it withered from absorbing the filth of darkness, or is it weeping for someone?

Ayaka Kamisato and Yoomiya could no longer see the scenes in the book; their eyes were filled with tears.

Even though I desperately wiped away my tears, I still couldn't see the scene in front of me clearly, and I felt like I was crying so hard that I couldn't breathe.

Even Araki Ichito couldn't hold back his tears, turning his head away and hiding in a corner of the room, not wanting anyone to see him.

Even the most oblivious reader would realize by this point that the fox friend Gosho was waiting for would never return.

This game of hide-and-seek, which had been waiting for nearly five hundred years, ended with Gobaizang winning... or perhaps Gobaizang had never won before.

This time, Ichizo won, but it was a victory that wouldn't bring him joy.

When Fox Palace died, everyone thought the story ended there, but when they turned the page, there was more to come.

This time, it wasn't Fox Palace that appeared in the picture, but a woman in purple with a somber expression.

The woman lowered her head, holding her older sister, Raiden Shin, in her arms.

The woman looked up and saw her sister, the Divine Cherry Tree.

The two paintings depict Kage weeping in Kanria while holding Makoto with her head down, and Kage seeing the 'suddenly appearing' cherry blossom tree after returning to Inazuma.

However, neither the film nor the readers know that the Divine Cherry Tree is actually the manifestation of Raiden Shin.

The shadow puppet in the painting returns to Inazuma, where darkness shrouds the land and demons are ravaging it. She draws her sword.

As if venting his emotions, Ying's blade was unstoppable, severing all the dark demons in its path.

The samurai of the shogunate were overjoyed to see the shogun return, believing that he would surely help them avert disaster.

The samurai in the scene raise their weapons and shout, "The Way of the Tokugawa is magnificent, Narukami is eternal!"

Narukami, her face grave, waved the dream her sister had entrusted to her, searching intently within Inatsume.

Why can't I find my friend? Why?!

As time went by, the calamity was gradually eliminated, but Ray still couldn't find his friend.

Until this day, a girl with demon horns appeared before her.

The girl who once danced before her is now staring at her with murderous, beast-like eyes.

Her hands were stained with blood. Ying closed her eyes and prayed that it wasn't the blood of Inatsume.

Mikoto Chiyo looked at the shadow; she drew her sword, drawing it against her beloved Narukami.

The close-up shot shows Mikoto Chiyo's face; her eyes have turned scarlet, reflecting her shadow's figure, and her eyes are filled with murderous intent.

The other picture is a close-up of Ying. She looks surprised and opens her eyes. Her purple eyes reflect the girl's red. Is it her eyes? Or her clothes?

None of those. The red color came from her blood, from her severed demon horn, and from her severed sword-wielding arm.

Mikoto Chiyo let out a miserable groan and fled into the forest like a wounded beast. Kage stood there stunned, the samurai beside her calling out to her, but she did not respond at all.

What is Ying thinking at this moment? Perhaps she is thinking that she once lay in her sister's arms, and now her sister has died in her arms.

Once, Mikoto Chiyo lay in my arms; now, am I the one who ended her life...?

I've found my friend, so why are you so sad? Why?

Shadow seemed to hear the shouts of the warrior beside her, and her cold gaze swept over her subjects.

This is a pain that even the gods cannot bear; how can humans endure it?

I cannot... I cannot let my people suffer this hardship as well.

Perhaps only unchanging eternity can end this suffering...

That's right, only the unchanging and eternal can end all of this!

The shadow swept away the calamity, and after the calamity ended, there was another comparison image.

On the left is the same picture of Ying enjoying cherry blossoms with her friends, while on the right the picture is gray and dark, with only Ying left in the same scene.

The shadow hung its head, its eyes vacant, oblivious to the beauty around it.

Looking further, there are still comparison images. On the left is half of Fox Palace's face. She is holding a fox mask in her hand and placing it on the half of her face that is not visible. Only the corner of the mask is visible in the image.

On the right is Hana Sanri, who also only has half a face. She is wearing a fox mask, which overlaps perfectly with the mask in Kitsai-gumi's hand.

However, Hana Sanri placed her hand on the mask, making a gesture as if she were to remove it.

Between the two of them was a sentence they both shared:

"Don't be deceived or swayed, and always walk on the path you firmly believe in."

Below the two of them is a comparison picture.

On the left is the left half of Ying's face; her expression is indifferent, and the corners of her mouth seem to be slightly downturned.

On the right is Ying's right half of her face; her expression is gentle, and the corners of her mouth seem to be slightly upturned.

One person has purple cherry blossoms in their background, and the other has pink cherry blossoms in theirs.

What they had in common was that both of them were crying.

The story ended, the final scene was pitch black, with only the words 'Great Exorcism of Divine Cherry Blossoms - The End' written on it.

Cheer up, because Fox Palace did it; even hundreds of years later, her memories remain bright and beautiful.

Even as a filthy aggregate, her will still shines brightly.

She saved Inazuma time and time again, became someone else's ideal woman time and time again, but also disappeared time and time again.

Yes, time and time again, from lost little boys to passing little girls.

Fox, oh fox, once again you have left an indelible impression on someone's heart.

Fox, oh fox, once again you vanished without a trace, leaving behind only that fox mask...

The story of Hana Sanri brought tears to readers' eyes, while the story of Kozaikyoku was even more heartbreaking.

Lin Qiu wrote this story in both novel and comic book formats, naturally adding a lot of detail.

Especially at the end of the story, this 'comic' section brought tears to many eyes.

The images of Hana-sanri and Kosai-miya are becoming more and more complete in everyone's hearts, and getting along with Hana-sanri along the way is like having gained another friend.

Reading the story of Huzhaigong makes me feel like I've participated in her life and experienced so many things with her.

Now that Hana Sanri has disappeared and Kosai-kyo will never return, readers have completely lost their composure.

My heart is filled with endless gratitude for Lin Qiu. We made a promise, we'll write stories for a lifetime.

Character Voice Lines - Araki Ichito: About Mikoto Chiyo

"The senior of the Ghost Clan is indeed as carefree as I am, hahaha."

Chapter 266 Lin Qiu is also finished.

The people of Inatsuma were the most moved, because this was their story.

They may not know the Fox Abode Palace, but their ancestors certainly did.

Now, just like their ancestors, they all know this fox and have been bewitched.

Take a look at this story, the tragedy of Canria. Was Canria really the only victim?

As a demon, Hana-sanri chose to sacrifice herself to save Inazuma solely because of the obsession brought about by the memories of Kosai-miya.

Fox Prince himself also sacrificed himself to save Inazuma.

In other words, Kosai-no-miya sacrificed himself twice for Inatsuma, how could Inatsuma not be heartbroken?

Not only Inatsume, but others also deeply empathized with the character, such as Rosalyn.

Rosalind silently burned the book to ashes, but the words still echoed in her mind: 'I hope that after your devastation, something beautiful will remain.'

Did I transform into the Flame Witch with this mindset back then?

It was in order to preserve what we cherish, to ensure the continuation of the land we love, and to protect what is beautiful that we burned ourselves out.

So, flames, as long as you can do these things, my body and will are at your mercy.

So flames, please burn everything...including me, who is no longer 'beautiful'.

Rosalind couldn't remember; she had no recollection of her mindset back then.

Fox Palace integrates her memories into the land she deeply loves.

Rosalind, on the other hand, chose to burn her memories because they were no longer beautiful.

Although she couldn't remember, her heart ached. She didn't understand why she could empathize with Huzhai Palace. What was this inexplicable emotion in her heart?

This emotion made her uncomfortable, seemingly more unbearable than the burning sensation of flames, an emotion she hadn't felt when reading her own story.

Rosalyn wiped away her tears, staring blankly at her tear-stained fingers. So, the tears hadn't all dried up yet...

Flames... you still couldn't burn away everything I had.

Another executive officer, a soldier, trembled, took two deep breaths to calm himself, and finally stubbornly snorted to express his dissatisfaction.

The books were pulverized by electricity, and the stragglers tried to blame it all on Thor's inaction! But Inazuma wasn't there for the crucial moment.

But he also knew in his heart that there was no right or wrong in Thor's decision, and not everyone could predict the future like Lin Qiu.

But shouldn't the problem with the sandstorm be blamed on Raijin? Back then, he risked his life to return to Narukami Island and sought an audience with Raijin in front of the castle tower, all to save his 'home'.

However, Thor paid no attention to his request to see him and never made a move to save Tatasha.

Disillusioned with the gods, he chose to go to the heart of the furnace himself to resolve the 'nuclear leak'.

Isn't this situation caused by Narukami not taking responsibility, which is why his subordinates have to shoulder more burdens?

What the stragglers didn't know was that he wasn't actually seeking an audience with Thor. Shadow was already prepared to shut himself off as a general; he was actually seeking an audience with his emotionless 'sister'.

The puppet general didn't care about any of this, and didn't even see any stragglers. Shadow Treasure didn't even know about the Sandwalker.

From the perspective of the scattered soldiers, it was as if Narukami had abandoned Futsuna, and even Niwa had fled out of fear of punishment.

The shogunate abandoned Futsuna, abandoned his 'home', and even his 'family' abandoned this place, but he could not abandon this place.

He didn't know that it was the 'Doctor's' doing, nor did he know that Yae no Kamiko was very anxious at the time and had already sent people to solve the problem.

However, the scattered soldiers were faster. After the scattered soldiers resolved the issue, the Eightfold Divine Child came by, but seeing his heavy expression, he did not appear to disturb him, but simply returned the Golden Feather to him.

This led him to mistakenly believe that Narukami Taisha had also given up on treading sand.

That said, Inazuma is no place for humans to live. Narukami Island is facing the erosion of its ley lines by filth, Kannazuka has a nuclear leak, Hachimonjima has the remnants of a demon god, and Umijima has become a sacred land.

Qinglai Island is plagued by the remnants of Thunderbird's power, and He Guan is an even more formidable opponent.

After all that fuss, there wasn't a single place in Inazuma that was actually habitable. Isn't that amazing?

Speaking of Inazuma, we must mention Miss Fox. Yae no Miko had read this story beforehand and had actually cried, but she didn't want anyone to see Miss Fox crying.

The scene in the story where she cries in Fox Palace's arms without showing her face was at her request. In reality, only she and Fox Palace know whether she was truly wailing.

Aside from Miss Fox, Araki Ichito is different from the scattered soldiers; he actually finds this story very enjoyable.

Even the usually carefree Araki Ichito had his eyes tightly closed, and the red lines on his face seemed to have blurred, but he denied that he had cried.

People like Kitsai-no-miya are exactly the kind of people Araki Ichito admires.

They live their lives freely and never run away from crucial moments.

Moreover, Arataki Ichito truly achieved the goal of humans and demons coexisting peacefully while Kosai-gumi was alive.

"Boss." Hisaki Shinobu rarely called out these two words sternly.

She patted Araki Ichito on the shoulder as a gesture of comfort, even though her own voice was trembling.

"Hahahaha, I'm fine. I won't cry over something like this."

"It's just eliminating evil spirits, I'll take care of it. At worst, I'll keep eliminating them forever! Someone else can do it all the time! Nothing will happen, no sacrifices needed..."

"Leave it to me!" With that, Araki Ichito tried to get up, but was stopped by Hisaki Shinobu.

“Boss.” Hisaki Shinobu shook his head.
