If mortals want to live forever, they must first obtain the Eye of God. To obtain the Eye of God, they must practice hard. If they want to reach the peak of the combined level, they will need magic, wealth, companions, and tools.
According to the General Affairs Department's records, only three people in Liyue have reached the immortal level in the past hundred years, and more than a dozen people at the peak of the combined level have died in the calamity.
Once the immortal bloodline is opened, one can gain a lifespan more than ten times that of an ordinary person without having to go through a heavenly tribulation. It is normal for this person to go crazy.
His appearance was very sudden. Logically speaking, he shouldn't die from excessive grief. The recorded method of soul renewal and the activated immortal bloodline proved that he must have replaced the original soul.
And the biggest problem is that I am almost 40 years old on Blue Star, and I am stuffed into the body of a 10-year-old child, so there is no sense of incongruity in the various body movements.
Could it be that a "higher power (Istar)" was involved? He reversed himself to the state when he was 10 years old. Alas, this continent of Teyvat is really full of secrets.
I walked down the spiral staircase to the bottom. I encouraged myself, it was time to face them. After all, if I didn't face them, they would become my inner demons sooner or later.
Walking out of the cave. !!! It was like a fairyland here, with golden light shining down from the sky, trees, and mist lingering on both sides of the road.
There were shadows of people standing around, or ghosts. Some of them were in a hurry, or looked resentful. Looking around, I didn't know where Hu Tao had gone.
Lin Zixuan strolled around here.
"It's you! You killed me!" A fat man wearing expensive brocade clothes appeared from the side, and the ghosts nearby also looked over.
"Is it him? The young master of Xuanyuan Trading Company. He doesn't seem to be in ghost form! How did he get into this 'border'?"
"We're going to die anyway, so we're not afraid of him!"
"Who are you? Do we know each other?" Lin Zixuan looked confused, with no impression at all. It seemed as if he had never dealt with this person before.
"Don't you understand what you did? You sold the iron ingots at a high price, which ruined my family. I mortgaged all my assets to buy your iron ingots, but in the end, the iron ingots were worthless. I lost my house, and my wife ran away with the children."
"Oh, I remember now, you were the one who jumped off the shipyard a few years ago!"
"What? You actually watched me jump?"
"I would have been on the other side of the river, and you jumped so fast, how could I have saved you? Did you regret jumping?"
"I...it's all your fault. You killed me!"
"Then let's look at the essence first. Why did you mortgage all your assets to go all in? I think it was to make money. Iron ingots were hyped up by some speculators in Liyue Harbor, and the price kept going up. You bought them at a high price, also to make money.
Then you must know the original price of my iron ingots, right? An iron ingot of 2000 Mora was sold to 10 Mora by you. Are those iron ingots worth that price? Everyone knows that these iron ingots are not worth that price at all.
And only you speculators are desperately adding fuel to the fire, causing the price of iron ingots to rise higher and higher. Have you ever thought that the price of iron ingots will fall back to its original price?
Since you have made the decision to go all in, you must bear the consequences. If you win, you will become one of the richest people in Liyue Harbor. If you lose, you will be penniless. You don't just think you will win, do you?"
"I...you killed so many people in Liyue Harbor. Can you feel at peace with that?"
"First of all, most of the people in Liyue Harbor are ordinary civilians. They didn't participate in the iron ingot bubble at all. Even if they did, they only bought one or two for fun. Most of them sold them early.
Only you speculators are still holding on to it, preparing to drive the price up to 20 Mora or even 100 Mora. Don't tell me you don't think so.
Of the 113 people who died after the iron bubble incident, none were civilians from Liyue Harbor. They were all nouveau riche speculators. The failure of your business venture was entirely due to your own greed. I have only two words for you: "You deserved it!"
"You!!! I'm going to kill you!" The fat man clenched his fists and punched Lin Zixuan, but unfortunately the ghost's shadow went straight through Lin Zixuan and fell to the ground.
A middle-aged man standing nearby walked up to the fat man and comforted him: "Hey, Lao Li! I told you at the beginning to sell the iron ingots quickly. These things are not worth the price at all.
You refused to listen and kept collecting iron ingots, saying that the price would increase at least tenfold. I don't know where you heard this information from. Business is like a battlefield. If you lose, you lose. You can't blame others.
Master Xuan, I apologize for any offense my brother has done. Everyone in Liyue Harbor is thinking of you, and we all know why you caused the iron ingot bubble, but he still can't get over it."
"No problem. I can only express my deepest regret for his situation. The fate of those who are too greedy is actually already determined."
Lin Zixuan left the area and headed deeper until he saw a familiar figure.
Chapter 85 Heart knot
"Mr. Hu, why are you here? Hu Tao ran down first, didn't you see her?"
"Hu Tao, that child, is here after all! But I won't go to see her. She has the same personality as me. When my father passed away, I rashly came here to look for my father. This is a test of the soul, and she can only overcome it by herself."
"If she knew that, she would probably cry miserably, but..."
"I know what you want to ask. The past masters of the Wangsheng Hall would never stay here. I was entrusted by a young friend to do one last thing and then leave."
"Oh, is that so! Then I won't bother you anymore." Lin Zixuan was about to leave.
"Wait! I have two things here that are related to you."
"??? It's related to me?"
"Where should I start? I'll just talk about the history first. I hope you don't think I'm being too long-winded.
The ancestors of Wangsheng Hall had friendships with immortals and learned a lot of skills from them. In those days, it was actually a place like "Bubu Lu", mainly focusing on saving the dying and healing the wounded.
However, the Demon War broke out, corpses were everywhere, lives were lost, infectious diseases spread everywhere, and the resentment and curse brought by the Demon's death were madly devouring our world of the living.
At this time, the ancestor saw the Yakshas under the Rock King. They were entangled in karma and in extreme pain. The ancestor was just an ordinary sorcerer and could not cure them at all. Even approaching them would cause karma to entangle them.
After returning home, he has been restless, relying solely on the Yakshas to suppress the resentment of these demons. The Yakshas are too painful and too desperate. Moreover, after the death of these powerful Yakshas, new resentment will arise. Who should bear this resentment?
The ancestor sought out many immortals and even found the Rock King Emperor, constantly perfecting the art of rebirth and soul-soothing. Then he founded the Rebirth Hall, and with his insignificant human identity, he spent a long time to calm the resentment curse bit by bit.
You should have heard of the "Sending Immortals Ceremony" right? In fact, there is almost no difference between the death of an immortal and the death of a demon god, except for the amount of curse.
If we don't appease the "residues" of these dead demons and immortals and let them return to the earth veins, then there will inevitably be crazy people who touch these "residues and legacies". That is the self-destruction of "birth" at the extreme, and the backlash of "death" at the end.
After generations of efforts, the balance between life and death was restored and the boundaries were clearly drawn, leading to the prosperity of Liyue Harbor today.
but! !! !!
I used the magic of the Wangsheng Hall to find out that in recent years, some people in the "border" have been infected with unknown resentment curses. They have become crazy and their clothes look like miners.
Although I have used mystical techniques to clear these curses of resentment, this situation must be caused by someone touching something like "Demon Residue". According to the historical records of the Hall of Rebirth, if these curses of resentment spread to Liyue Harbor, tens of thousands of people will die. Liyue must be prepared!
Hu Tao is still young and hasn't grown up yet. She hasn't learned many advanced techniques. I hope you can help investigate the situation or report to the Rock King. If it's convenient, please protect Hu Tao."
"Well! I will investigate this matter. Liyue's development has just started, and we can't let these things trip us up." Lin Zixuan's eyes sharpened. If it was the miners, was it under the Stratum Abyss? Perhaps the Abyss Cult was conducting some kind of experiment? It seemed that he had to go there.
"What's the second thing?"
"The second thing is about you. You are not from this world, right?"
"How did you know?"
"Six years ago, after I finished the funeral of Lin Zixuan's parents, a strange thing happened. We in the Wangsheng Hall often deal with ghosts, so we have special pupil skills that can see things that ordinary people cannot see.
When Lin Zixuan left the gate of the Hall of Rebirth, I found that his soul was disappearing. Just as I was about to go forward to investigate the situation, I found that I couldn't move at all.
Then a ball of golden light fell from the sky and hit Lin Zixuan. However, he walked away as if nothing had happened.
In my eyes, the soul in his body not only changed color, but also became at least ten times stronger than before. When I was able to move again, I asked the people around me, and they all said that they did not see any golden light falling.
Then I rushed to your house, persuaded the five guards, and went into the room with them, only to find that you had fainted on the bed.
I carefully examined it and felt more and more terrified. The alien soul that fits your body perfectly, without any flaws, seems to have belonged to you from the beginning. Moreover, the vitality in your body has begun to grow explosively, which should be the activation of the immortal bloodline.
This reminds me of the legend of your family of descendants of immortals. Normal families of descendants of immortals have a long life span, and currently, at most, they die after being passed down to the 20th generation, and most of them only pass down to the third or fourth generation.
The most bizarre family among the descendants of immortals is your family. It is completely no different from ordinary people. Your bloodline has been passed down for a hundred generations and cannot be opened. I heard that a special method is needed to open the bloodline.
I returned to the Rebirth Hall and used the secret technique of the Rebirth Hall to go to the 'border'. Then I saw 'Lin Zixuan', which further confirmed my thoughts. His soul was already extremely weak at this time.
After chatting with him, I learned that he had no idea what had happened. After leaving Bubulu that day, a man dressed as a doctor gave him a cup of medicinal tea to cheer him up, and then he went to the Wangsheng Hall to handle the funeral. After finishing, he just felt very tired and finally found himself in this place.
Before he disappeared, he asked me to tell you something: 'I want to live, I want to have the Eye of God, I want to live forever. What did I do wrong? Why do you treat me like this? ' These were his last words.
Lin Zixuan's face turned black. He had taken away the future of a 10-year-old child. Even though he was not the one who did it, he was still the beneficiary!
The soul has dissipated, and even if I want to compensate him, I can't do it. Moreover, there is something wrong with that special cup of medicinal tea. It is very likely that he was murdered, but so much time has passed, and special means must be used to find the murderer.
However, if I don't show up, Lin Zixuan won't be able to activate his immortal bloodline, and he can only live as a rich young man without obtaining the Eye of God or even immortality.
Lin Zixuan thought about it for a long time, maybe there is a way to compensate him. The earth veins record everything that happened in Teyvat. If he goes to find the time ruler "Ishtar" to help, there may be a chance of success.
Although there is no Impure World Reincarnation, there are real gods on this continent, so it should be no problem for him to live a normal life. Keep this in mind and find a chance to solve it in the future!
"Over the years, I have watched your actions in Liyue Harbor. I thought there would be a bloody storm, but I didn't expect it to unfold in a different way. The emperor and the immortals have gradually recognized your existence. Don't take his words to heart."
"Well, I've figured out a solution. It just takes time."
"That's good. I have finished my last business and it's time for me to leave. I'll ask you to take care of Kurumi."
"There is a secret. Even though you have already guessed it, I will tell you directly. Hu Tao is actually the luckiest person in all of Liyue."
"how do I say this?"
"Zhongli, the guest of your Wangsheng Hall, is the legendary Rock King. With his protection, do you think Hu Tao is the luckiest person in Liyue?"
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is, no wonder this person with the appearance of an immortal would come to the Hall of Rebirth, hahahahahahaha... Thank you! I'm going too!"
The ghost of Mr. Hu gradually became transparent and dissipated between heaven and earth. Mr. Hu's life must have been very wonderful.
The old ones are the wisest. He actually had guessed about Zhongli a long time ago. He even predicted Hu Tao's actions. He asked Hu Tao to find a powerful immortal to accompany her to the "border". In addition, he often went to Zhongli for tea. I am afraid that he had already calculated it and probably arranged a lot of back-up plans.
After leaving this place and continuing forward, a frightening figure appeared in front of him.
Lin Zixuan gritted his teeth and walked forward, came behind the man, pursed his lips, but didn't know how to start.
"Has the immortal bloodline been activated?" A familiar voice came from the front, but he still didn't turn around.
"It has been opened, and I also got the Grass-attributed Eye of God."
"The dream of a hundred generations has finally come true! Power and immortality are clearly within our reach, yet they are so far away from us, tormenting us generation after generation.
Bloodline activation requires the soul to disappear, and it must really disappear, which is equivalent to annihilating the soul, not just dividing it or hiding it. Since the soul has disappeared, will the soul that is renewed be the original one? "
"It certainly won't be the original soul."
"For our clan, the most important thing is the bloodline inheritance, and the soul is secondary. Hundreds of generations of people have studied the soul and have long known that the soul will return to heaven and earth one day. As long as the bloodline exists, the inheritance will not be broken. I only have one request of you."
"Please say."
"The bloodline must be continued."
"Yes. I will."
"Although they have heard a lot about your deeds here, there are some news they are not aware of. Is Brother Degui safe now?"
"Uncle Fu has solved his health problems now, and he is expected to live for more than 40 years. Many matchmakers have come to visit him, and he may become a father in a few years."
"Is that so? It seems I won't be able to wait for him. He has always been the one protecting me since I was little. When I was young and impetuous, I caused him to be seriously injured and my foundation was cut off. I owe him a lot.
Now that I've heard the news, I feel relieved. Please tell him that I'm leaving first." After saying this, the voice gradually dissipated.
"Father! Wait, you haven't told me anything about mother or the reason for your death!"
"You call me 'father'? Then can you tell me your real name?"
"My real name is Lin Zixuan, an ordinary person living on a blue planet. I have 70-year-old parents at home. My father is Lin XX and my mother is XXX."
"How is that possible?" The figure thought for a moment, "Yes! Only in this way can there be no rejection. Your mother left early, and she has nothing to worry about.
As for the cause of our death, it's actually my fault. On the way back to Konoha Village that day, we were attacked. It was led by the eighth executive officer of the Winter Kingdom. She asked me to hand over the information of the artifact. From her face, I can see that she is a loyal person. Her figure is similar to your mother's, and she will definitely help the baby grow up healthily. Just think about it, her figure is first-class white......
Then I proposed to use the artifact data as a marriage dowry, but she got so angry. Then..."
"Although I really want to complain, I don't know where to start." Black lines appeared on Lin Zixuan's head.
The back figure whose lower body had almost disappeared turned around, looked at Lin Zixuan and said with relief: "Well, goodbye, my good son!"
Lin Zixuan looked at his face, which was exactly the same as Lan Xing's father's when he was over 50 years old. Warm tears escaped from his eyes and dripped down his cheeks to the ground.
"Well, goodbye, father."
Chapter 86 Return
The light spot dissipated and merged with the sunset, leaving no trace of it.
Lin Zixuan wiped his tears. His father did not scold him or get angry. He left with regret. Yes, who doesn't want power and immortality? The price for this descendant of the immortals to obtain power and immortality is the disappearance of their own souls. This is a conflicting thing.
Liyue was established 3700 years ago. The family’s history is comparable to that of Liyue. For hundreds of generations, people have been looking for a way to continue the soul. They have tried almost all possible methods, but they have all failed.
According to Zhongli, this is a curse, and it is the consequence that this clan must bear.
If you had a child and a thief secretly took the child away and ate him/her skin and bones, that would probably be worse than what the Tree of Life did.
If my guess is correct, the Infrastructure Maniac Demon Master should have gone to the original Tree of Life to find a solution. There has been no news for more than 3,000 years, and he may have already passed away.
My father confirmed that they were indeed killed by the executive officer of the Kingdom of Winter. Until now, apart from the treasure-stealing group found at the beginning of the incident and the news about the Fatui from the five guards, no further news has been obtained.
At the beginning, Liyue Harbor was controlled by the termites, and it involved the diplomacy of the Kingdom of Winter. With their protection, the case of the murder of the parents was simply treated as an ordinary robbery and hastily closed. Maybe the cause of Lin Zixuan's death was also arranged by her.
When the first version of the 'remote audio and video simultaneous interpretation technology' was stolen, ordinary Fatui were interrogated. However, they had no idea that the Madam Executive had been active in Liyue. They only heard that the Madam Executive had mobilized a group of people to look for the artifact.
