Chapter 61 Mond's Past
“When you have someone looking after you wherever you go in life, it’s not surprising that you start to think about things.
Dr. Wah's choice of life during clinical drug trials;
[Doctor] "consumables" during his research on the evil eye;
In the story told by Albedo, there are abandoned androids like Abe...
During the Beloberg period, you always avoided putting yourself in a difficult position by thinking about such complex issues.
Time and space are meaningless to you. You can just stand at the end of time and observe the results at that time. There is no need to interfere in the fate of others.
Compared with the so-called genius, the fate of an individual human being seems insignificant in the long river of time...but does his life deserve to be abandoned?
If you have ever watched Zhiyi struggling like a drowning fish in the face of fate, you will deeply understand the pain of those who are destined to be chosen.
——Because this little fish cares.
[Snow Blooming Star] can certainly lead those who are desperate and give them hope. But what about those who are already stuck in the quagmire and unable to escape?
The spirit wanted to kill the body because of the pain, but the body's instincts begged it to do so.
What you want to end is pain, not life.
…
When you were a "down-and-out adventurer", no one would care where you spent the night, so when you felt really bored, you would just walk into a hill camp and lie down in the biggest tent.
In Mondstadt, if you are not in the snowy mountains, the Dawn Winery, or the Knights of Favonius, then only Kaeya knows where to find you.
"What are you thinking about? I can't find you anywhere. That Abe... Mr. Hua is so anxious." Kaia dealt with the hillbillies and sat next to you. He noticed that you were looking at him and raised his eyebrows.
You silently watched him send those hillbillies to the earth's reincarnation, thinking of Kaia's Kanreya bloodline and the destruction of the ancient country of Kanreya...
You know that the remnants of a civilization destroyed by the will of heaven will turn into monsters like the Hilichurls. Even after death, they will simply return to the earth to be reborn and continue their ignorant lives.
So does Kaia know?
"I'm thinking about something serious."
"Hmm... tell me about it, maybe I can give you some advice?" Kaia suppressed his smile.
“When humans are unable to escape a difficult situation through their existing strength, they always pray for miracles, and ultimately end up believing in gods.”
"But what if even with the extra power, nothing can change?"
If you hadn't awakened Usa, even Krips, blessed by the evil eye, wouldn't have been able to defeat it;
Even if the people who are currently serving as experimental subjects in the hands of [Doctor] were to gain extra strong vitality, they would not be able to escape from there;
What if... well, those remnants of the ancient nation who had become monsters regained their sanity, but were unable to prevent the curse from taking effect...
That is not the fate of an individual, but the suffering of a group. You know, the people who inflict suffering are [Doctor], heaven, and perhaps more. Or perhaps life itself is also the root cause for some people.
Because you possess power, you can easily resolve root causes other than those caused by natural law. However, there are always people who create various problems in the human world.
——When you see Albedo, what you see is not an alien, but pain.
"..." Kaiya was stunned for a long time before he found his voice. "Maybe... it's solved by seeking inner peace, or rather, a sense of identity."
You seem to be lost in thought.
"Impas, why are you suddenly thinking about this? Something's wrong." Kaia began to change the subject. "I thought all you thought about every day was—"
"What do you want for breakfast?"
"What's for lunch?"
"What's for afternoon tea?"
"What are you having for dinner?"
"And...what's for supper?"
"Hmph, these are just basic human needs." You curled your lips and squinted, your face full of disdain. "What do you people with no sense of fun know?"
You patted his shoulder and left happily, "But thank you anyway, it's very constructive advice."
Kaeya, who had just sat down, said: "..."
“I’ve figured out your problem, now it’s Abeka’s turn to have a problem.
Albedo has gained the power of the Commander-level [Creation] that you unlocked. Every day he opens his eyes and starts doing experiments. He usually helps you check your body and tells you a bedtime story at most. If you don't let him tell you, he can check you up to eight times a day.
Abei Shao is responsible for your five meals a day. If you occasionally skip meals, you will probably eat someone else's specialty. He is now concentrating on improving his cooking skills.
Abehua is different. He was originally a frost deceitful flower. After going through painful experiments, he acquired human form. The happiest time of the day is to take a walk and play with you.
And you actually left him to play alone. He was just a flower, he didn't understand anything. He only knew that you might not need him anymore.
Kaiya is right, this is a manifestation of a decline in sense of identity and a lack of inner peace.
It's a rare moment for you to reflect on yourself. Of course, this rarity is only limited to people with "sister qualities". What Kaiya said about using your instincts to comfort people and give people a sense of identity is still too abstract.
Let’s do something practical and buy some gifts.
So you bring Abe flowers to buy gifts for the Abes. Mond is fine, but [Doctor] can run into you face to face with you openly.
So you went to Liyue.
When you arrived in Liyue, you immediately remembered that there was something suitable to give to Abe Shao, which was the porcelain vase that Zhongli bought at Chunxiang Kiln when he was a tour guide for Bie Chong.
An inexplicable intuition led you directly to the Hall of Rebirth to take the bottle away... Looking at this porcelain bottle, you had a strange feeling that you were actually... in the future.
Abehua looks at you hesitantly, her face full of anticipation. Ah, you suddenly feel a little guilty. Although the flower's mark is burned into this bottle, it's not actually for him.
At this moment, you suddenly empathize with the parents who have triplets. They are not worried about the lack of children but the inequality of their distribution.
You rushed to Chunxiang Kiln without stopping, and before Abehua could catch up with you, you held the bottle and said a few words to Ying'er, the alchemist in vest.
Finally, you returned to the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain with three bottles.
Albedo's porcelain vase looks ordinary, but Abe's has a flower-shaped mark, while Abehua's porcelain vase has a snowflake pattern.
Perfect.
"Thank you. The color of the porcelain vase is very beautiful." Albedo was not disappointed at all that he was missing something. He lowered his head slightly and stroked the gift. "Maybe I can consider this glaze when I paint."
You immediately started to show off, because this is one of the few things you know about - sky blue.
"This color is very difficult to produce. Besides the ingredients, we also need to wait for the right temperature after the rain. Only by waiting for this coincidence can we achieve the azure color!"
At this moment, you suddenly have a flash of inspiration and remember the alchemy stories that Albedo told you before bed, about crafts and precious works of art. "Oh, it should be the same as the star on your neck." [1]
Albedo was stunned, and smiled awkwardly. He looked around and observed the others before lowering his eyes and smiling more naturally.
Alas, the party that seemed most likely to have an unstable water balance is no longer a problem. After all, Abe Shao's bottle is the most unique. Abe Hua's bottle can change color when heated, and the snowflake pattern will turn into stars... You can even pull this back, you feel so awesome.
You happily start the rest of the work.
Rather than bringing inner peace to others, you hope to end suffering and prolong life. Only when the miracle of birth is not a single one, but a collective one, will you naturally have a sense of identity."
"You steal all the miserable and lonely souls.
When the pain and suffering of their bodies meet their end, you continue their lives in another way. When the pain still cannot extinguish the desire to live, the soul will be led out from the underworld...
On the seventh day after their physical death, they are able to return to the earthly realm, remaining there for seven days each year.
Their bodies are translucent, their complexions pale, and they can independently choose how they absorb energy, making them immune to all attacks. Furthermore, after receiving recognition from those with earthly powers, they can walk the earth in the guise of human forms.
The remnants of the ancient country, who were deeply cursed and exiled to the continent of Teyvat as monsters, can also have a day of respite here as they return to the earth and wait for resurrection.
You created the Yinling tribe.
Some of those souls trapped in deep pain have lost the desire to choose life or death, leaving only desperate and hopeless shells.
You make them wander where the Yin spirits gather, observing their lives and reuniting their desires. Their bodies are as tiny as fireflies, emitting a shimmering silver light, with round, inky black eyes, able to follow specific Yin spirits into the mortal world.
You created—the Necrons."
"Achievement: You created a new race (3/3)"
“You often like the way humans solve problems, but that’s because humans have traits you like.
When all the methods defined by the world cannot solve your troubles, you don't mind using the power of God.
The power of your divine side is only to satisfy your selfish desires. Otherwise, those who want to become gods in the world don’t know why they want to become gods.
Divinity is something different from human nature. It does not serve the individual, let alone selfish desires.
So you never regard yourself as a god, because you have desires, and once they arise, you will want to use all your strength to realize them.
After doing this, you can reconnect with Walnut here after a long time, and happily leave the task of distributing the earthly recognition certificate to her.
Don't worry!
A native of Mondstadt, a former giant baby citizen, a down-and-out adventurer, and a man who tamed a dragon. These are two races created by Impas. What does this have to do with you, an ordinary Liyue person?
You were strolling around Mondstadt with the identity of Liyue A Chong Traveler, and even Diluk couldn't help but want to beat you up.
God knows how panicked he was when he heard that someone in Mond had become a god.
you do not know.
The sparkling water from "Angel's Gift" didn't change anything when I drank it, so everything was normal...
Diluc slammed the door shut, scaring the bartender, Charles, so much that he didn't dare move. "We're closed today."
Kaeya, who was drinking in the corner, tried to sneak away among the guests, but Diluk gave him a gloomy look and he walked back with a wry smile.
You slurp down some sparkling water through a straw, glancing left at Diluc, then right at Kaeya. "You Monds are so interesting!"
Just as he was about to chuckle, Diluk stared back.
"Although I know it's a bit difficult to ask you to do this," Diluk said calmly, arms folded, "you're a bit too lazy, Impas."
You gulped down your sparkling water, remained silent for a moment, and took off the hat that read "Liyue Traveler." "My disguise was flawless, you're just too perceptive."
