Supreme Bishop of Fontaine

"Obviously, I led the enemy into the Classic of Mountains and Seas. If I hadn't left the island, if I hadn't decided to open the gates of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, this wouldn't have happened."

"There's been no such thing in the past five thousand years. Now, with only the initial contact with the outside world, the people are facing such a disaster... How can I not feel that I've done something wrong?"

"Lord Master..."

Xuanqing didn't know what to say, so he could only lower his head and remain silent.

Longhua did not feel sad for too long. After all, time was pressing, so she took a quick step forward and soared into the air. In the blink of an eye, she arrived in front of Gaoyang Mountain, landed on the ground, and then stepped into it step by step.

Although she was the one who set up the formation, Long Hua could not enter and exit the formation at will. He had to follow the rules.

If not for this, this needle would not be a big deal.

Whether it is the formation covering the Classic of Mountains and Seas or the formation covering Gaoyang Mountain, they are all genuine and can even block the demons.

It is not impossible to break the formation with force, but even with the strength of Longhua or Zhongli, they must bombard it continuously for at least ten years without interruption in their attacks before they can break the formation bit by bit.

Although it is normal for a demon god to fight for several years or even decades, otherwise a demon war would not last for thousands of years - but even so, I am afraid that no demon god would have nothing better to do and spend decades scraping a formation.

Because of this, the Classic of Mountains and Seas has been as stable as Mount Tai for these five thousand years, and Longhua has never worried about the safety of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Even if there really is such a demon god with nothing to do, you have been scraping the sha for at least ten years. Are you sure you can still fight Longhua with the remaining strength after breaking the formation?

In herself, Longhua is one of the demon gods standing at the top. The demon gods who can definitely stand shoulder to shoulder with her or even be stronger than her are the four rulers in heaven and the seven rulers on earth.

With such power and such a formation, what does Longhua have to worry about?

…………Yes, as long as Longhua does not choose to open the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there is nothing to worry about.

Could the escape route of the formation be known to someone?

It's not a big deal.

Although he didn't know how the other party knew it, as long as Longhua changed the base of the formation, he could naturally change the gate of life.

Therefore, as long as the Classic of Mountains and Seas remains closed, her people will continue to live in peace as always.

So, was it really my fault?

The people wanted to stay away from the world because they prayed for peace. Why should I push them out of that peace now?

Amidst such a chaotic thought, Longhua finally entered Gaoyang Mountain and saw what the poisonous substance was that was constantly poisoning the water source.

then……

"This is…!?"

Longhua's expression couldn't help but change slightly.

In the water column rising into the sky, a crimson ball of energy was suspended, constantly emitting faint ripples.

Longhua couldn't help but reach out and touch the Eye of God embedded in the thigh ring.

Her divine eyes were emitting a faint light.

That was not the radiance of the Rock God's Eye, but a strange crimson halo.

That power was not even elemental power, but some unknown power that was completely identical to the energy ball in the water column.

The power of the rock element contained in the Eye of God was completely suppressed at this moment.

——The animated short film also fully presents this plot.

The strange radiance of the Eye of God.

Longhua's astonishment.

The snow-white skin of the thighs...oh, this one is irrelevant.

No! Who said it doesn't matter?

“Slurp~!”

The monkey turned the camera so the audience could watch, then licked the computer screen directly with his mouth.

"666666"

"No, you really lick it?"

"Cows! One hundred cows!"

"Do you think you're the only one who can lick?"

"Alright! Stop it! It's obvious there's some important information coming!"

"Watch the CGs, watch the CGs. Don't miss any important information. MiHoYo is clearly going to do something big!"

"Okay, okay, let's watch the CG. I just couldn't help myself. Don't miss this CG. It contains a lot of information."

The monkey also hurriedly said with a smile, asking everyone to focus on the animated short film.

Although his antics are indeed quite entertaining, what is more important now is obviously this animated short, because important information has really come out, and it is information about the biggest mystery in the setting of Genshin Impact.

That is the power of "original sin" of Astraea and Themis.

Most of the characters in Genshin Impact now use the Eye of God as their power, even Xiao, the immortal, and Ganyu, the coconut sheep. In other words, Zhongli and Venti's power is displayed as the Heart of God - although neither of them has the Heart of God now, it is normal to use the Heart of God to show their uniqueness as gods and to distinguish them from other characters.

Apart from this, all other characters should be God's Eye.

After all, this is the basic power system of the original god.

However, the reality is that since the game was launched, there has been a character with a unique style in Genshin Impact, and that is Astraea who is resident in the pool.

From the very beginning, her information showed that her power was "Original Sin", not the Eye of God or the Heart of God. Later, Themis, a character who also came from Fontaine, also displayed the power of "Original Sin", and both of them had power comparable to that of gods. How could players not be curious?

But unfortunately, so far, the plot of Genshin Impact and various texts have not given any relevant settings for "original sin".

The only setting that can be considered somewhat related is that when the Doctor was killed by Themis, he said in astonishment that Themis's power was not the power of this world.

Other than that, there is absolutely nothing.

——And now, Genshin Impact is finally going to reveal further related settings.

Chapter 86: Mountains, Seas, and Stars (VII)

"This power... is the fate of original sin?"

Longhua couldn't help but murmur in surprise.

She gently stroked the Eye of God with her right fingers and raised her hand.

The Eye of God left Longhua's leg ring, floated up along with her palm, and then hovered in Longhua's palm, glowing slightly.

Looking at the Eye of God in his hand and then at the energy ball in the water column in front of him, Long Hua's eyes were complicated.

At this time, the screen gradually went black, and lines of text began to appear.

"Five hundred years ago, due to an unexpected event, Longhua, out of curiosity, gained a powerful force from outside the world."

"However, because that power was too uncontrollable, Longhua suffered greatly, and was ultimately forced to use the Eye of God as a container to seal it."

"The discovery that a powerful willpower can suppress that power came from an accidental discovery. Perhaps this is because... people should use strong "beliefs" to control their own "original sin"? "

"Those who cannot control original sin will become original sin. Only those who can control original sin can become human."

"Yes, the power Longhua obtained is called original sin."

The Fate of Original Sin

The black screen disappeared, and Longhua appeared on the screen again, continuing the animated short film.

"Besides me, are there other gods or people who have also acquired the power of original sin?"

"But even so, what does this mean now?"

"Are you provoking me? But is this necessary?"

"The power of destiny isn't limited to the original fragments. It can become stronger by absorbing other fragments. If you want to strengthen your destiny, the best way is to go further on your destiny, right?"

Longhua was puzzled.

However, even though I don't understand, I won't change what I have to do.

Longhua aimed the Eye of God at the light ball and slowly absorbed all the halo emitted from it.

This ball of light is actually a toxin, but it contains the power of destiny, so it can suppress the divine power of Gaoyang Mountain and prevent the toxin from being purified. As the power of destiny disappears, the toxin will naturally be purified.

It was not difficult for Longhua to solve this problem. After all, she had thought of many ways to deal with original sin.

However, the focus now is on who did this and why the other party did it.

Although this was also a focus before, in Longhua’s eyes now, the concept of this focus has changed.

of course,

"No matter who it is or what the purpose is, no one can be forgiven."

In the end, Longhua left these words.

Then the perspective returns to the protagonist.

"Oh, how long will I be in jail? Why hasn't Longhua come yet? Even if Longhua doesn't come, Xuanqing can come!"

Paimon was flying around in the prison, and Ying looked at her helplessly.

"Be quiet, Paimon. There's no point in getting anxious now. You can only wait patiently."

"But I'm hungry."

Paimon rubbed his stomach and said aggrievedly.

"When I was escaping earlier, I flew so fast that my energy consumption was ten times higher than usual. If I don't eat now, I'm going to starve to death."

"I'm not hungry even when I'm running on the ground, so why should you be hungry when you're flying in the sky?"

"Phantom limbs get tired too!"

"I haven't seen any phantom limbs on you. So, what race are you?"

"How would I know about this? Oh, don't talk about this, I can't stand it anymore, Ying, let's break out of prison!"

"...It was you who said you would surrender before, and now it's you who's letting the prison escape. If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"

"It's not okay because I didn't think it through at the time!"

Ying sighed, and then...

"Just bear with it a little longer."

Well, she chose to persuade Paimeng again.

There is no way. If I jailbreak now, it feels like there is really no explanation.

Fortunately, just when Paimeng was pestering her and Ying was trying to persuade him,

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."

Longhua finally arrived here.

"Longhua, you're finally here!"

Paimeng came out from between the fences with a look of surprise and threw himself directly into Longhua's arms.

Ying put her hands on her hips and looked speechlessly at Paimeng who slipped out easily.

"Could it be that this prison is actually for me?"

At this moment, the players who saw this scene couldn't help but laugh.

Long Hua touched Paimeng's hair, then looked at Ying and said, "Okay, come out."

I didn't see Longhua make any movement, but the cell door opened automatically.

Ying walked out without hesitation and asked directly, "Longhua, has the matter been resolved?"

"The problem is half solved. The culprit who did this has not been found yet."

Ying nodded: "If you need any help, just tell me. I will never let the criminal go."

"That's right." Paimon crossed his arms and said dissatisfiedly, "We must bring the criminal to justice before we can let go of this anger."

"...In that case, I do have something I need your help with."

After hearing this, Long Hua did not hesitate too much and directly took off the Eye of God from the leg ring, handed it to Ying, and said lightly:

"Take this Divine Eye and go to the bamboo forest east of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Lure out the enemy and hold out until I arrive."
