Genshin Impact, I, a weak person, am challenging myself to find a solution that will bring me lifelo

He thought for a moment and said.

"…In my past, I was young and ignorant, and was controlled by the great demon. As a result, I committed numerous murders, and was entangled in karma, without a single sleep.

But the half-immortal lady is still willing to save me once. If possible, could you please pass a message to her for me?"

There was a hint of hope in the eyes of the Yaksha boy.

"I will consider."

The Rock Demon neither agreed nor objected.

"...Really? Thank you. Please help me tell her 'the tune you played...'" The Yasha boy pondered for a moment, and finally uttered only a few words: "It sounds very nice."

"Is that all?"

"That's all I have."

"I'll tell her."

The Rock Demon was a man of his word and would never lie. Therefore, the Yasha boy also bowed his head and expressed his sincere gratitude.

"No need to thank me. This is conditional. I need you to sign this contract."

The Yaksha boy looked at him in astonishment.

"You're not going to kill me?"

“Death is not just physical death.”

The words of the Rock Demon were somewhat difficult to understand, making it impossible for the Yasha boy to figure out his true meaning.

Seeing his doubts, the Rock Demon simply handed him a contract emitting golden light. As the Yaksha boy read the contents of the contract, he gradually understood it and submitted to it.

After understanding the contents of the contract, he nodded, and the light chain that bound him was broken, allowing him to write his real name.

For him, this was not something difficult to accept. Rather, he thought it was okay to be able to bring due retribution to the demon god who had caused him so much pain, even if he was held accountable afterwards.

The next moment after the contract was signed, he felt the mark of the Rock Demon God engraved inside his body.

If he violates the contract, he will be punished by being eaten by rocks.

However, he didn't mind it. He just looked up at the Rock Demon and asked.

"Do it now?"

"No hurry. We have more important things to do right now—"

Rock Devil

"what?"

"Go prepare a small gift."

The Yaksha boy could sense that the other party's tone seemed to have a hint of playfulness.

"After all, it's rude not to reciprocate."

"……clear."

In this regard, the Yaksha boy naturally had no intention of overstepping his authority and only planned to follow his orders.

Just like the past, no... compared to the past, at least there are still things he longs for here.

"When this matter is over, I will give you a new name."

The Rock Demon nodded slightly.

"This way, at least she will have a name to call out. This should be very important to you Yasha, right?"

"……Um."

Yaksha was reluctant to use the name Jinpeng as it symbolized the ignorant and sad past.

Whether it was for safety reasons or to take into account the opinions of the half-immortal girl.

If this new name can imply a new life, it might be a good thing...

-

Afterwards, he changed his clothes and met the Rock Demon, no, now he should be called the Emperor.

The Emperor introduced him to the other four guardian Yakshas, ​​and he was the fifth.

However, a fight is inevitable when meeting them.

For Yakshas, ​​the fastest way to understand their own kind is to fight and understand the other party's way in the battle.

In the past, he was a Shura who killed purely for the sake of killing. The deeper his karma, the more brutal his fighting methods became. Exchanging injuries for injuries was the most basic way of fighting.

In order to avoid hurting these future colleagues, he restrained himself and fought with some restraint.

But I didn't expect to be taught a lesson in just a few rounds.

The Thunder Yaksha named Fushe possesses strength that is beyond his reach. When he is at full strength, he is the only one who can keep up with his speed.

Compared with the other Yakshas, ​​he is the only one who does not have any prejudice against him and treats him equally.

Although it sounds strange to say this, among them, it can be clearly felt that Fushe is taking care of the other Yakshas as an older brother.

However, Mi Nu, who seemed to be most similar to the Emperor on the surface, was the one who was most easily angered. His words, deeds, and appearance, which he imitated out of admiration, made him inexplicably subtle.

The other two female Yakshas, ​​Fanan and Yingda, were slightly hostile towards him.

Although this hostility was normal, he could still vaguely feel it.

This hostility is not only about his identity, but also about something else?

But he had never met the two of them before, so he should not have offended them.

He had never interacted with other female Yakshas in the past and thought that he had offended them in some way.

When he asked the emperor this question, he just smiled and told him that the gift was ready and asked him to go and get it.

After that, they won't treat him like that anymore.

……

This was also the first time he met the other party in a formal capacity.

The half-immortal girl is working hard as always, and the war has calmed down recently.

So she is dealing with a backlog of cases and also taking time to check that the injured are being properly cared for.

So, when he went to the door, he saw that the other party was too busy, so he was too embarrassed to speak and had to wait outside.

They waited until noon, until the girl went out and met his eyes.

He quickly turned his face away, but what came to his mind was the taste of the beautiful dream he had tasted in the past.

As soon as such a disrespectful thought came to his mind, he quickly extinguished it, and then slammed it against the door frame, making a "bang" sound.

The half-immortal girl was so frightened that she took a step back, looking at him with half worry and half pity.

"Um... are you okay?"

"nothing."

He lowered his head and spoke with forced calmness.

Chapter 39: Named Xiao

"In other words, it was the Emperor who asked you to come to me to take away the mechanism that locates the demon god."

Kuxue nodded in understanding, and without any delay, she took out the small mechanical ball that she had developed long ago from the Chen Ge pot she carried with her.

This is a sub-machine of the Beast Hunting Tower, which focuses more on sending real-time signals. It is very suitable for marking certain resource areas. Once placed, it will automatically expand.

By collecting the signal particles it emits through the waves of the Beast Hunting Tower, it can be determined whether the true body of the Dream Demon is over there.

The Yaksha boy solemnly took over the mechanical device that the other party had thrown at him.

There seemed to still be a faint scent of the young girl on it, and the other person's eyes seemed to fall on him curiously.

This made him feel a little embarrassed, and he began to think about backing off.

Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, he didn't expect the girl to call him.

"Come to think of it, I don't know your name yet. Since you are going to work for the Emperor in the future, you should at least tell each other your names first, so that we can get things done, right?"

"..."

He had no name worthy of being named before this girl.

Perhaps she read something from his shifted gaze, the girl just blinked and then spoke.

"It seems that you are not ready yet. Whatever. Now is not a good time to introduce myself. Just know that my name is Kuxue. If you have any questions, come here to find me. There is no need to stand stupidly at the door."

"……Um."

The boy could only lower his head and respond in a muffled voice.

In the eyes of the half-immortal girl, he was too worried about losing himself, forgetting the sins he had committed in the past, and pursuing redemption that did not deserve it.

After leaving the girl, he took the item to the Emperor and carried out his plan in an orderly manner as he had expected.

The lair of the Dream Demon is hidden very deeply and needs to be unearthed and carefully identified one by one.

Even though he is his follower and the most trusted general, he has the qualifications to meet the other party directly. However, if he rushes in without thinking, it will only arouse vigilance.

Therefore, we are stuck at the point where the other party is about to lose patience but dares not act rashly.

The Yaksha boy then accurately found the location of the Dream Demon. After probing its surface, he placed the mechanism down. What followed was a scene that he would never forget.

The entire sky was dark, as if it was about to be crushed by something. The starry sky that was once unreachable was like a broken mirror, hanging in the sky above the signal point.

A star streaked across the sky, carrying with it a terrifying aura, and fell from the sky.

All the monsters within the 100-mile radius were suppressed. Elemental particles that were invisible to the naked eye completely materialized in this area, quickly entangled on the surface of the monsters and filled the gaps.

It drilled into the holes of its exposed organs and quickly formed a petrified surface, falling from the sky, and then completely petrifying its body surface in almost an instant.

Even the Dream Demon, who was best at escaping, was turned into stone and then into fragments at that moment, along with his nightmare that would never be completed.

The curse and resentment caused by the death of the demon god also erupted, but the location he chose was remote, and even though a large number of curses erupted due to his death, more of them were the souls freed by his hands.

A large number of souls imprisoned in dreams were able to return to Wuwangpo, crossing the boundary between life and death to be reincarnated.

The monsters under his command also suffered backlash due to the death of their master, even the Golden Roc was no exception.

He could feel the pain as if thousands of bugs were gnawing at his body. The pain was so deep in his bones that he wished his heart, liver and lungs were all ripped out, making it difficult for him to maintain his usual stern expression.

Burning beneath the Nuo mask is a dark blue fire of resentful spirits. The demon god who was betrayed by him also concentrated a lot of resentment on him before his death.

When his sanity was about to be shattered by the surging resentment, the Rock Mark in his body suddenly showed its power after he completed the contract.

Suppress the resentment directly, and then it will gradually melt away like ice in summer.

The only one left was Jin Peng, who had fallen to the ground exhausted. Although his limbs were weak and his body seemed to be hollowed out, he could feel that the demon's mark that had bound him for who knows how many years had broken and disappeared.

Only the karma he had committed still accompanied him, telling him that it was not an illusion and nightmare.

He looked at the Rock King Emperor who had freed him from this endless nightmare, and performed the most solemn etiquette of a Yaksha.

"...You have freed me, and I have no way of repaying you. I am willing to lead the way for the Emperor and eliminate the evil in the world. I beg you to give me a new name..."

"In foreign legends, the word Xiao represents a ghost that has suffered hardships and been tempered. You have also been through a lot, so you should use this name from now on."

Looking at this Yaksha who seemed to be reborn, Emperor Geo gave him the name "Xiao".

From then on, the world lost a rampant and murderous Yaksha demon, and gained a great demon-slaying saint who hated evil and always rushed to the front line of the war.

Although his real name Jin Peng was abandoned, he was given the title of General Jin Peng after he merged with the other four guardian Yakshas.

Despite this, Xiao still prefers to use the name given to him by the Emperor rather than the name of General Golden Roc.

However, the war that burned across the entire Liyue did not stop with the death of the Dream Demon. The remains of the defeated Demon spread hatred and resentment everywhere, giving rise to "evil spirits".

The "Yakshas" responded to the call of Emperor Yanwang to eliminate demons and evil spirits, and it was inevitable that they would get injured during the process.

Every time this happened, he would silently come to the place the girl had mentioned and receive her bandages and healing.

Sometimes she would play the wave song he had heard to calm the negative emotions brought by his karma.

This is the only thing Xiao thinks is meaningful in the endless battle.

He enjoyed this moment of peace and was willing to pay any price for it.
