Genshin Impact short video: The death sentence at the start terrifies Fou.

Bai Zhu's residence.

Changsheng: "Now it's completely out of the question."

Bai Shu didn't care; he was only concerned about whether the opportunity the system had given him this time was big enough.

He truly wanted to glimpse a corner of "immortality" and become the last contractor of immortality.

------

Jiang Li: "Can you...stop now?"

Unlike Jiang Li's sorrowful expression, Bai Shu, as always, wore a faint smile.

"Senior sister, you know, everyone in our lineage has this kind of personality..."

Jiang Li wanted to persuade him further, but Paimon's shouts came from afar.

"Hey—dinner's ready—"

Ayu ran up to her mother to boast, "Mom, dinner's ready! My older sister taught me how to cook so many dishes, and she said even Dad can taste the flavors. You should try them too!"

"Okay, okay, Mom's coming right now... Hey, slow down!"

Once A-Yu was out of sight, Jiang Li's image as a loving mother vanished instantly, replaced by a grave expression. "Bai Shu, I know I can't persuade you, but please don't forget, if you weren't here..."

"Qiqi, Agui...all your close friends will be heartbroken for you."

"Senior sister, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Ah, I hope so." With that, he turned and left.

Ying and Paimon came over.

"Bai Shu... Jiang Li just said you're gone, what does that mean? You... you're not alright, are you?"

Ying: "And what exactly is this destiny that Changsheng mentioned before?"

Changsheng: "Including their masters, all my contractors throughout the ages have died young."

[Paimon: How could this be? Changsheng, aren't you supposed to extend people's lifespan?]

Noelle: Yes, weren't you in charge of treating Mr. Baishu's body? That's why he dared to risk his life.

[Qin: It seems that they omitted a lot of key information in their words.]

[Diluc: If we told the truth, I'm afraid many patients wouldn't want to transfer their pain to doctors.]

[Colette: Yes, I wouldn't be able to sleep if someone else had to pay the price for my recovery...]

[Tinari: Corleone...]

Bai Zhu began to tell the story of their lineage.

An old man's voice slowly began to speak.

At that time, diseases ravaged the people.

A pharmacist made a great vow to eradicate suffering from all diseases in the world.

Even the most benevolent and skilled mortals are no match for the ravages of natural disasters.

In the video, a young pharmacist is brewing medicine, but he is overwhelmed by the patients.

Nevertheless, he did his best to treat the patients, personally feeding them medicine.

After years of practicing medicine, even my closest relatives have fallen ill, and I will soon have to say goodbye to being a pharmacist.

Because the pharmacist frequently came into contact with patients, he brought the disease home, which resulted in his own daughter contracting the disease as well.

Legend has it that deep within the mountains of Chenyu Valley lives the Medicine Lord, who can cure all diseases.

The pharmacist went to the mountain alone, but found only a white snake that had exhausted its strength and was barely breathing.

The white snake raised its head and spoke in human language: "Sign a contract and live with me, and I will teach you the secret method of saving people, but you must not forget—this method will ultimately harm you."

The pharmacist agreed.

'The pharmacist, with superhuman abilities, reverses life and death, bringing about miracles.'

But parting still came unexpectedly.

'Those who have passed away have become pharmacists who have exhausted their life force.'

Finally, the pharmacist passed the contract on to his last patient, his most favored disciple.

The disciple decided to use his life to save more lives—

'This is true for each generation, and it will continue to be true for every generation...'

[Paimon: Immortality is the cure-all medicine god?!]

[Chang Sheng: I don't know, my memory is already a bit blurry]

【elf:...】

[Ningguang: One generation is like this, and every generation is like this; these few simple words tell the whole story of their lives.]

The scene shifts to a desk.

'Since the signing of the inheritance contract, I have firmly believed in the path chosen by my predecessors and the path I am about to walk.'

'Until I wished to use this method to save a close relative of a younger generation.'

She begged me not to harm my own life.

They called it a wicked method of drinking poison to quench thirst, a poisonous art that defied the laws of nature.

She said she was unwilling to sacrifice one loved one to save the life of another.

'Only then did I realize that when my teacher passed away, how different was the pain I felt from that of his family members at his bedside?'

'Aren't the lives lost prematurely because of this contract also worth saving?'

Is this contract a cure or a poison for us?

'I don't have enough time left to find the answer.'

'I entrust this question to you along with the promise of immortality.'

'I only hope you can find a cure for this problem...'

The scene shifts, and Bai Shu arrives at a graveyard.

It turns out that the above words were his master's dying words.

Chapter 73: Bai Zhu's Reward; New Video Title Directly Points to Brother-in-Law!

In the scene, the eternal contractors of each generation flash by.

They come in all ages and genders, but they all share the same belief: to heal the sick and save lives, even if it means their own death.

Bai Shu stood before his master's tombstone, having made up his mind.

Changsheng, as usual, reminded him, "Time and time again, no matter how much I remind them or treat them, I can't change the outcome."

"And you? Do you have an answer yet?"

The young man, Bai Shu, countered, "If I abandon the contract and there's no one left to coexist with, what will you do?"

"Hmm... I'll probably take advantage of the last bit of time to go back to Yaojun Mountain and get a good night's sleep... then I can go see my old friends and your grandmasters."

"Then there's no need to consider it any further—since there's a life worth saving right now, and I know how to save it, what reason is there not to save it?"

Chang Sheng sighed; her advice had never been successful.

"Sigh, the same answer again. Oh well, I'll close my eyes. I wonder how many more people will have to pass this contract on to."

Bai Shu replied firmly, "No, I will be... the last contractor."

When he opened his eyes again, his pupils had changed to the snake eyes that everyone is familiar with now.

The contract was established.

The scene cuts back to the pavilion, where Changsheng adds, "The inheritance contract also requires a certain level of character. All the contract holders throughout history have had extremely pure character."

Bai Shu: "However, those who are truly virtuous are more easily attracted to this miracle of defying life and death than ordinary people when they obtain this secret method."

Even if they know better than anyone how things will turn out, they will still resort to inhuman force when faced with the cries of grief from the masses and the birth, aging, sickness, and death of their closest relatives and friends.

"Like moths drawn to a flame, in the long night when all beings suffer, they seek the hope of transcending life and death."

[Grandma Ping: I knew it! Mr. Bai absolutely deserves the praise of "healing the sick and saving lives, a doctor with a benevolent heart"]

[Hu Tao: Bai Shu, is this what you've been researching the secret of immortality for? To become the last contractor of immortality?]

[Bai Shu: Heh, when did you become so trusting of others, Master?]

[Woman: Exactly, it's just his and that snake's side of the story. How could anyone sacrifice their own interests for a stranger?]

[Erhesen: I do know someone like that.]

[Kavi: Who is it? Do I know them?]

[Elhesen: That person bought more than a dozen handmade keychains so that children from impoverished families could have a full meal. This happened in Xumi, where medical services are free, so I will not comment.]

[Kavi: ???] (The person who bought the keychain has been found; this is the one.)

Bai Zhu gave a bitter smile, as if mocking himself.

"Hehe... As for me, I'm probably the moth that wants to pursue the light but doesn't want to get burned, right?"

"The secret to immortality only transfers the pain, but cannot reduce the suffering in the world—just as Jialiang panics when his senior sister is in danger, his senior sister grieves for Jialiang's sacrifice."

"I respect those teachers who sacrificed their lives for their ideals, but I do not intend to become them, nor do I want this covenant to continue to be passed down to future generations."

Paimon was worried. "Oh? But you've transferred so many diseases to your body..."

Bai Zhu: "What is poison? What is disease? In essence, aren't they both ways of affecting the human body?"

"If anything that doesn't conform to normal behavior can be called an 'illness,' then wouldn't an elixir of immortality also be a kind of poison?"

"To thoroughly investigate all poisons and diseases in order to achieve immortality... Even if it seems against the natural order to ordinary people, to me it is no different from immortals tasting all kinds of herbs to overcome all kinds of diseases."

"I don't want future generations to die young because of the contract, nor do I want immortals to die without the contract. So, isn't there only one answer?"

Yingmei replied, "Immortality?"

“That’s right, I will be the last contractor, and let the legacy of the contract end with me.”
