Chapter 238
"I will go and tell my past self everything, just to make him pay attention."
However, facing the silence of the demonized Su Bai.
Su Bai seemed to realize something.
Both fell silent at the same time.
After a long while, Su Bai hummed, "So that's it. You dare not take the risk."
"After all, this is a rare opportunity. If something goes wrong in the middle and the seed invades the body, then everything will have to be played out again."
"Indeed, it is very troublesome," the demonized Su Bai spoke, "After all, such a tiny thing, if one is not careful, it will find a way in again."
"Moreover, I have discovered that it cannot grow in any environment."
"Once it leaves the Demon Lord's body, if it cannot find a suitable host, it will perish very quickly."
"The only place in all of Teyvat where it can grow is..."
The two exchanged a glance.
An answer was reached without words.
The demonized Su Bai seemed to have said everything.
He stood up and slowly walked away into the distance.
"Think carefully yourself about what Decision of this nature you should make."
"You should know that in our two thousand years of life, the weakest period was the time immediately after slaying the Demon Lord."
"Moreover, the Xuanyuan Sword is our source power; it has no perception ability towards you or me."
The figure of the demonized Su Bai grew fainter and further away.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something.
He slowly stopped and said, "I also need to say sorry to you."
"Originally, those souls at Wangshu Inn were waiting for your return."
"But, so that they would not disturb our conversation, I pretended to be you and chatted with them."
"I made a promise to them to change the future of Liyue."
After speaking these final words, the figure of the demonized Su Bai slowly vanished into the darkness.
Istara had arrived near Su Bai's side at some unknown time.
But she made no move, nor did she say a word, standing obediently right where she was.
Su Bai hung his head.
He laughed involuntarily.
He murmured, "Clearly, I just wanted to hear those people's voices again 3.3."
"And yet you spoke so beautifully."
"But..."
"They are not waiting for me."
"The person they are waiting for is clearly you..."
Tianquan Ningguang: "This... what exactly are we going to do?"
Hu Tao: "I don't know, but I feel Su Bai's words are ambiguous. Whether it is his past self, his present self, or the future demonized Su Bai, in essence, they are still one person. What I mean is, whether in personality or the Thoughts within, nothing has ever changed."
Keqing: "I suddenly have a bad premonition. The demonized Su Bai's words are easy to understand; he wants the current Su Bai to kill the past Su Bai."
Nahida: "It is waiting for the past Su Bai to resolve the crisis of the foreign realm's descent, then ambush and kill the opponent while they are weak. That way, the possibility of the curse erupting in the future is completely eradicated. It is so annoying."
Rhinedottir: "If that is the case, the Cataclysm of Khaenri'ah will still erupt in the future."
The Heavenly Principles: "The Cataclysm of Khaenri'ah did indeed bring a great crisis to Teyvat, but compared to the destruction of the world, the harm of the Cataclysm of Khaenri'ah can be ignored."
Yae Miko: "Why is every decision so difficult? The future demonized Su Bai cannot return; the Su Bai with the Xuanyuan Sword and the Demon Seed cannot time travel; the Su Bai with the Demon Seed but without the Xuanyuan Sword cannot even touch the Xuanyuan Sword. I am going crazy..."
Kamisato Ayaka: "Yes, and they dare not take risks. It is really oppressive. Su Bai is clearly so gentle, yet he is never treated gently."
Nilou: "Sigh, watching this makes one's mood bad."
Cloud Retainer: "How can it be like this? After finally returning home, is the ending still so tragic? Sigh... this really cannot be justified..."
Ganyu: "I hope there is a turning point. (Prayer · Kamisato Ayaka)."
Chapter 132: The Final Song, Three People's Time, Return to the Battlefield of Six Hundred Years
The five-hundred-year-old Nahida still kept an unextinguished childlike heart.
Klee's arrival seemed to make her find a companion to play with.
Of course, the main reason was that lucky Klee discovered another strange feature of the Tree of Life.
She simply wanted to swing on a swing on this great tree.
Although Alice stopped the idea, she did not expect the Tree of Life to automatically set up a swing for her to play on amidst the lush branches and leaves.
Nahida looked, and her eyes immediately flashed with Jin Guang.
The Tree of Life seemed to feel her longing and conveniently set up a swing for her as well.
Looking at the two "children" before her, who looked cute and were playing with great joy.
Alice and Nahida shook their heads straight.
"These are all things our dear ones in the past exchanged their lives for."
"These naughty kids."
Alice glanced again at Paimon, who was about to pick fruit to let Furina taste something fresh.
"I always feel Istara's appearance looks a bit like Paimon."
Nahida did not answer Alice's question.
This kind of question does not need any connection right now.
Smiling with lips pressed together, Ye Er said, "Actually, we once felt the same way you do."
"Every time we see the ending, our hearts feel heavy."
"But Su Bai told us that even things happening within the cycle are all in the past."
"As long as everyone can be happy and joyful now, it is all worth it."
Mm!
Alice nodded in agreement.
The gentle breeze on the floating island gave her a particularly comfortable feeling.
It was just like truly returning to her own hometown.
In the live broadcast room.
The audience held their breath.
According to Su Bai's personality, his past self would definitely have chosen to return to six hundred years ago to end everything.
The future Su Bai entrusted the present Su Bai to kill the past Su Bai.
The ending was said to be unexpected yet reasonable.
More crucially, people of Teyvat can finally see what a terrifying sight the so-called descent of the otherworld six hundred years ago truly was.
People stared fixedly at the screen.
Watching Su Bai lying on a stone, face up, gazing at the starry sky.
At this moment, Su Bai must have had complex feelings.
Killing the past Su Bai meant that neither he nor the demonized Su Bai would exist anymore.
He surely would not be willing to leave Liyue, where he had lived for two thousand years.
But, to save those he cared about, he had no choice but to do so.
【In a dimly lit room.】
【Little Seeing Shenhe curled up in her mother's arms, asleep.】
【Her mother gently stroked Seeing Shenhe's small head, a smile on her lips, yet tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.】
【Weak as she was, she seemed to realize her life was about to reach its end.】
【After that night...】
【Seeing Shenhe lost her mother.】
【She was too young to understand what death was.】
