Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

Unexpectedly, her reaction made Su Feng pay more attention to her, and Idia trembled. Although she still maintained the appearance of a pure water elf, even Nasita, who did not know much about pure water elves, could feel that the pure water elf in front of her was a little abnormal.

"Um... I'm just a useless guy, so... um... is there anything wrong with how I'm behaving right now?"

Idia felt a little uneasy under the gazes of the two noble beings in front of her. She was just a little water sprite, how could she be worthy of such attention from these two?

Can't these two just let go of such a useless piece of trash?

Hmm... If I can get through this safely, I must hide in the deepest part of the sand for a hundred years before coming out. The outside world is just too dangerous!

"How interesting! This is the first time I've ever seen a pure water sprite who can encompass so much love, dreams, and wishes. Even Lotia, who is considered the most powerful pure water sprite I've ever seen, doesn't encompass so much 'love' like you!"

“From this point of view, you are even stronger than Lotia.”

After carefully examining the pure water sprite in front of him, Su Feng couldn't help but reveal a strange smile.

He suddenly realized that the pure water spirit in front of him was indeed extraordinary. No wonder she didn't fawn over him like Lotia did after she appeared, and even split off a small Yandora in the end to stay by Su Feng's side.

In reality, the mixing and splitting of pure water is not a simple or arbitrary matter.

For pure water, only the same love and purity can support them to dissolve together and become a single entity. In that pure water, even a tiny bit of evil thought is enough to cause the pure water spirit to disintegrate.

More importantly, once the pure water sprite finds the love it seeks, it will disregard everything and even abandon everything else.

The pure water spirit is so pure, even to the point of being extreme, that it cannot tolerate any impurities in its tiny heart of pure water.

It was precisely for this reason that Lotia chose to separate Yandora, because only in this way could she maintain her 'love' and prevent it from collapsing. And Yandora, who was separated, also only had 'love' for Su Feng.

But Idia, who is standing here now, is different.

Although it was difficult to see clearly because only a small part of Idia's power was present, Su Feng could still see that beneath the skin of the pure water spirit named 'Idia' lay countless 'loves' and 'wishes'.

If she were a normal pure water spirit, then Idia would probably have already disintegrated into countless independent pure water spirits by now!

"Then explain yourself, Idia, who exactly are you?"

"Or perhaps you took something with you from the place where the Water God collapsed?"

Su Feng smiled and asked the pure water spirit in front of him. Upon hearing this, the pure water spirit, which had been quite cautious, suddenly paused. Then, the small pure water spirit instantly disintegrated and turned into a stream of water that flowed back into the magic bottle.

After a near-death silence, a torrent of water surged forth from the magic bottle.

Chapter Eighteen: The Heart of the Gods

Clearly, Su Feng's words provoked Idia, and powerful pure water appeared from the magic bottle—perhaps sensing a threat, Idia unleashed all her power at this moment, and a pure water spirit, no less powerful than, and even more powerful than, Lotia, appeared before Su Feng and Narcida.

Right now, Idia is like a frightened kitten, frantically inflating herself to appear stronger in order to scare Su Feng away—yes, this is exactly what Su Feng saw after using his ability to sense Idia's inner thoughts.

Is this child a little slow-witted?

Once this was confirmed, Su Feng had only this one thought left.

After all, relying on inflating one's body to make oneself appear stronger and invincible is simply too primitive.

Do you think we're some kind of mindless beasts?

Moreover, even if Idia's current strength were to increase dozens or hundreds of times, Su Feng or Nasita wouldn't take her seriously—pure elemental power is never anything special; without powerful authority, even the largest elemental power can only have so much influence.

It's common for them to be exploited and plundered.

Moreover, the elemental power that Idia is currently displaying is neither pure nor powerful enough, so this kind of pretentious posturing is of no use other than making them laugh.

Although Idia seemed unwilling to speak properly, Su Feng did not intend to personally teach her a lesson.

Pure water flowed from Su Feng's body, so pure that it left Idia speechless, flowing endlessly like ocean waves.

Soon, in this endless pure water, Yandora gradually revealed her form.

“Idia, how dare you show hostility to someone of high status?”

Having spent so long inside Su Feng's body and accumulated a torrent of pure water, Yandora spread her wings, which were no smaller than Idia's, and questioned him in this way.

As a product of her 'love' and 'pursuit' of Su Feng, separated from Lotia, Yandora is now a pure and standard water sprite. Filled with 'love' for Su Feng, Yandora cannot tolerate anything else.

Even if she were to face her own kind, even if she were to face her own sisters, Yandora would not hesitate for a moment if necessary.

Pure and extreme, that is the true nature of the Pure Water Sprite.

The main reason why ordinary mortals think that water spirits are too noble and heartless is simply that they are not the 'love' that water pursues.

And it's not surprising that the Pure Water Sprite would do anything for the 'love' it can pursue.

"..."

"Okay, it seems I still can't do anything."

Perhaps it was because she sensed Su Feng's nobility and power, perhaps it was because she was certain that she couldn't even handle Yandora in front of her, or perhaps it was because after careful consideration she was certain that what she was protecting wouldn't be harmed by Su Feng or Nasida...

In conclusion, after confronting Yandora for quite some time, Idia chose to compromise.

All I can say is that this guy doesn't seem like a pure water sprite at all.

You must understand that true water spirits are not so easily given up. When it comes to the bottom line of these pure creations, even gods cannot make them compromise.

“I’m a useless guy… In pure water, I’m not pure enough, not firm enough, not strong enough, and I haven’t even found the necessary ‘love’ after searching for so long.”

"Without goals, without perseverance, and without a shared 'love,' I cannot even integrate with my own people."

"Without a doubt, I am not a pure water sprite, and you could even say I am a useless water sprite."

"Even so, the Goddess has never chosen to abandon me. She always embraces and encourages me with a more expansive love, and even supports me with endless power."

After choosing to give up and compromise, Idia instead began to tell everyone about her past experiences—she was an anomaly in pure water, and had been from the very beginning.

Even by the standards of pure water, she is a complete failure and defective product.

Integration with their own kind is an important means for the Pure Waters to grow and expand rapidly, but precisely because of this, the requirements for integration are quite high, and Idia, as an outsider, obviously does not meet the requirements.

If nothing unexpected happens, then Idia will probably continue to wander under the protection of the water god, searching for the 'love' and mission she seeks... if nothing unexpected happens.

However, the great catastrophe five hundred years ago changed everything.

The water goddess Egolia has fallen, and the once pure waters of Fontaine have begun to turn bitter. As the murky, bitter waters spread, the pure water spirits have no choice but to scatter and flee.

Of course, a trip to the place where the water goddess fell is obviously necessary beforehand, since the water goddess Ergolia is loved by many pure water spirits.

However, when many pure water spirits went to Fuluo Garden at great cost, they discovered that the water god could no longer be resurrected.

In the end, the many pure water spirits found all the pure, deceased god fragments they could and traveled to various parts of the world.

During this process, Idia also found something unusual—a piece of Ergolia's pure 'heart,' which is a core part of the pure water heart of a typical pure water elf!

It is important to know that the Pure Water Spirit's Pure Water Heart will not be dissolved or disappeared. If enough time is given, and if enough pure water and new 'love' are given, then it is not impossible for another Pure Water Spirit to be born in the Pure Water Heart.

Ergolia is a higher-level pure water spirit; she was the pure water that the High Heavens once used to transform the world.

Nowadays, all pure water spirits can be said to be inferior tools that were 'splittered' from a part of what it once was.

It is precisely because of this that Agoria can be said to possess many characteristics that are very similar to those of a pure water sprite. The only difference is that Agoria has the potential to contain more 'love' and 'wishes'!

So... if enough 'love' and 'wishes' are gathered and poured into this pure 'heart of God', is it possible for the former water god to be resurrected?

After finding this 'Heart of God', this crazy idea continued to expand in Idia's heart, and at this moment, she also believed that she had finally found her 'love' and 'mission'!

This requires effort and dedication, and it was at this time that Idia met Alice and obtained the magic bottle where she now resides.

Chapter Nineteen: Who wouldn't be happy to have a powerful backer?

The creations of the heavens have always been quite inhuman in their lack of humanity.

Of course, it's not surprising that there are huge differences in concepts between different organisms.

At least for elemental life, 'living' is absurd compared to the vast majority of life forms.

Because if we follow the algorithm that elemental life is alive as long as the elements that constitute it still exist, then the vast majority of life forms are always 'alive'.

And the creations of the heavens often share similar ideas.

Especially for beings like Pure Water Sprites, who are accustomed to the idea of ​​merging two into one or splitting one into multiple, so-called self-awareness is mostly unimportant.

Idia knew, of course, that the being re-cultivated from the chaotic and insignificant 'love' and 'wishes' of mortals could not possibly retain the consciousness and memories of the former Ergolia, but this was irrelevant to the pure water spirit.

It's just starting from the Source Sea again; the Pure Water Spirits have experienced this countless times before.

Returning to the source sea with the 'love' they have found, and then setting off lightly again after letting go of the heavy burden of 'love', is the duty of the pure water spirits.

……

The water sprites' somewhat distorted way of thinking, in the eyes of mortals, made Su Feng feel a little uncomfortable, even though he was not a mortal himself and still couldn't quite understand it.

After all, even now he is still trying to preserve his consciousness.

He simply couldn't accept the view that he didn't care whether his consciousness and memories could continue to exist, as long as his power and essence remained unchanged, he would still be the same being he once was.

Of course, this is ultimately just Pure Water Sprite's own opinion, so if you don't understand it, you don't understand it.

"So you've been hiding here just to bring Agoria back into the world?"

“I don’t think you can do that right now.”

Neither Nasita nor Su Feng believed that Idia could do that, after all, the essence of a god cannot be filled by the mere 'love' and 'desire' of mortals.

Nasita knew very well that the true essence left behind by the previous water god had been transformed into the pool of nectar and the myriad mother trees, and that it was impossible to revive him with just a few remaining fragments.

"I know, but why must God return in His divine form?"

However, faced with Nasita's size, Idia was instead puzzled and choked on her with a single sentence—the difference between the two in this respect was unimaginable.

Just as Nasita never considered herself to be the Great Tree King—even though she could very well be another reincarnation of the Great Tree King.

Narcida simply couldn't understand the mindset of a pure water spirit, but Idia felt that as long as Ergolia's power was revived in the form of a pure water spirit, that would be enough.

As for the amount of power—that's never an issue for the Pure Water Sprite, who can quickly recover simply by absorbing pure water.

What is noble and precious is always the essence; as for power, it has never been of much concern to the heavens or their creations.

So all Idia had to do was use these fragments to recreate a pure water sprite named 'Egolia'.

"..."

"Come with us now. The myriad mother trees and the pool of nectar, which are based on the essence of the previous water god, are now being spied on by the abyss. We must stop the abyss from acting."

"So for your safety, you'd better stay with us now."

"And perhaps you can find more relics of the water god over there."
