Chapter 1234

"That's right, you are my past!"

"But you are definitely not my future!"

Dan Heng broke through the surface of the water, golden energy exploding from his body.

The tides that had trapped him and the water dragons released by Lord Dan Feng all shattered, turning into raindrops that fell rapidly.

"I will blaze my own path!"

Dan Heng summoned his spear once more and charged head-on toward Lord Dan Feng.

"Stubborn!"

Lord Dan Feng snorted coldly, gathering the falling water to form another water dragon that bit toward Dan Heng.

However, this time, Dan Heng was undaunted, spinning his spear as he descended toward the water dragon.

The image of the High Elder hidden deep within him gradually revealed itself.

As the water dragon neared Dan Heng, it seemed to be drawn by the spear in his hand, beginning to rotate around his body.

In just a moment, it became Dan Heng's own power, and he charged toward Lord Dan Feng along with it.

In Lord Dan Feng's stunned gaze, Dan Heng and the water dragon swept past him, landing behind him.

With that, the water dragon dissipated, turning into raindrops that fell to the ground.

Afterward, sunlight bathed the earth once more, as if reflecting Dan Heng's state of mind.

"Then, leave this place. Do not look back."

Lord Dan Feng sighed and murmured. His body turned into particles of light and slowly dissipated.

Dan Heng was stunned at first, then a rare, gentle smile appeared on his face.

【Arataki Itto: "I will blaze my own path!" Dan Heng's words were so burning, I'm completely fired up!】

【Lumine: Burn, young man! That's right, this is the path of the Trailblaze. Follow me onto the Path of the Trailblaze and blaze your own path.】

【Arataki Itto: That's so cool! I want to become a Trailblazer too, to blaze my own path. How do I do that?!!!】

【Arataki Itto: Wait, if I break the Sakoku Decree of Inazuma, does that count as blazing a path?】

【Raiden Shogun:...】

【Kujou Sara: Arataki Itto, how dare you say that!】

【Lumine: Uh, that's true in a sense. But generally speaking, it's more likely to walk the Path of the Trailblaze by following Luo Feng outside the universe.】

【Gorou: If I could walk the Path of the Trailblaze outside Teyvat, I would surely be able to blaze a brand new path for us in Inazuma as well.】

【Dehya: Regardless, Dan Heng has defeated his inner demon, right?】

【Lady Xiang Liuyun: Indeed, the reappearing sunlight reflects his current state of mind. Clearly, he has walked out of the inner demon of the past.】

【Kaeya: As expected of Dan Heng, this journey of the heart is truly stirring.】

【Tea Master: It's decided, I will write this journey of Mr. Dan Heng into my storytelling.】

【Venti: Dan Heng's story is also very suitable for a bard to tell. Though, it would be even better if I knew more clearly.】

【Venti: Lord Luo Feng, you will show us the memories of the High-Cloud Quintet including Dan Feng, right?】

Hearing the familiar sound of a camera, Dan Heng opened his eyes in confusion.

"Yo, you're awake, Dan Heng."

"Take a look at the photo I took for you."

"It's really rare to see you show such a smile."

Miss March 7th shook the freshly printed photo and said to Dan Heng with a smile.

Dan Heng looked down, and the image on Miss March 7th's photo was indeed the look of him smiling earlier.

"How is it? I took a good one, right?"

"I precisely captured the sense of relief you felt after figuring things out."

Miss March 7th laughed.

"Figured things out? Relief?"

Dan Heng looked at Miss March 7th in confusion.

"Let me explain."

"Everyone saw the scene of your battle with the High Elder's will earlier."

"Of course, the memories in your mind regarding the High-Cloud Quintet have also been stored in this Memory Bubble."

Luo Feng showed Dan Heng the Memory Bubble in his hand and said.

"So that's how it is. It was Lord Luo Feng who let everyone see it."

Dan Heng said.

"After all, you suddenly started fighting with the High Elder's will in the consciousness space."

"As your companion, Miss March 7th was very worried."

Luo Feng said, while merging the Memory Bubble containing Dan Heng's memories into the one containing the High-Cloud Quintet memories of Jing Yuan, Blade, and Lady Jingliu.

"Yeah, yeah, you don't know how terrible your face looked earlier."

"Fortunately, you finally exploded with power and defeated that guy."

"Right, Stelle?"

Miss March 7th made a "V" sign and said.

Stelle nodded with a smile and said:

"Let's continue to Trailblaze together in the future, Dan Heng."

Dan Heng's mouth curled up slightly: "Naturally!"

【Xia Luodi: Dan Heng, Miss March 7th, and Stelle are so warm together. I want to join their ranks and become a Nameless too.】

【Navia: You just think that joining them will get you more and better news, right?】

【Xia Luodi: Hehehe, you understand me, Navia.】

【Wriothesley: It's a pity that becoming a Nameless is bound to be quite difficult. After all, it's hard enough for us to even leave Teyvat freely.】

【Arataki Itto: You guys are already doing well; we can't even leave Inazuma freely.】

【Wriothesley: Uh, brother, I truly sympathize with you.】

"You really have found very good companions, Dan Heng."

Jing Yuan said.

Watching the interaction between Dan Heng, Stelle, and Miss March 7th, Jing Yuan seemed to see the conversations of the High-Cloud Quintet from the past, and for a moment, he felt deeply moved.

"Yes, they are all very good partners."

Dan Heng nodded heavily.

"In that case, go forward without hesitation on the path you have chosen."

A smile appeared on Jing Yuan's face.

If he had previously fantasized about letting Dan Heng return to the Luofu Xianzhou,

after seeing Dan Heng's heart-image earlier, he had completely abandoned such thoughts.

Even the will of the High Elder couldn't change Dan Heng's mind, so how could he possibly do it?
