Combining this with other events from 1,500 years ago concerning Su Bai and their connections, Gan Yu came to believe Su Bai's words.
Although Shen He didn't say anything, she showed her attitude by not making things difficult for Su Bai anymore.
[They acknowledged that the other party was indeed the sword spirit of their senior brother, the Divine Sword.]
However, while Shen He acknowledged the agreement, he couldn't help but express his displeasure in certain aspects.
"So why did you have to take on my senior's appearance? Couldn't you have taken on another form...?"
[Teyvat doesn't have sword spirits, but it is not devoid of beings capable of taking human form.]
For example, the Liyue Hermits, and that chubby Geo dragon, can both transform into human form from some other form.
[It's even rumored that some creatures within the Abyss Order possess similar abilities.]
[There are many monsters, and the same applies.]
【"Well..."】
Su Bai felt a little awkward.
[I never realized before that Shen He cared about me so much, as if he were a one-of-a-kind person in the whole world.]
Even though he was deceiving them by posing as the spirit of the Xuanyuan Sword, Shen He was still dissatisfied that the sword spirit looked like him.
"Alright, Shen He..."
Gan Yu quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Now is not the time to worry about this kind of thing."
"I think the appearance of my junior brother's sword spirit here must have a more important meaning."
Gan Yu's gaze shifted to Su Bai, her mouth slightly open, then her expression suddenly changed, and she said with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, after saying so much, I still don't know how to address you."
"What should I call you?" Su Bai smiled. "I don't have a name either. Just call me A-Shi."
"I remember when everyone was naming our eldest brother, the Dragon King Ruotu always wanted to name him Ashi."
"Ah Shi..." Gan Yu nodded.
"Why did you appear in Liyue?"
Su Bai gave a brief response to Gan Yu and Shen He.
[The gist is that he suddenly woke up in Kanria, so he rushed to find his older brother, only to find Liyue in this state.]
[I also took the opportunity to ask the question that had been bothering me.]
Upon hearing this, Shen He chose to avoid the conversation, finding a quiet place to sit down alone.
Gan Yu recounted everything to Su Bai.
[However, to Su Bai's surprise, this matter affected more than just Li Yue.]
The entirety of Teyvat seemed to be corrupted by some kind of force.
People may suddenly develop various strange illnesses.
Some people's hair turns white overnight, some people's blood freezes overnight...
[Many others seem to have lost consciousness, becoming like walking corpses.]
Some people's bodies may even gradually stiffen, eventually turning into something like stone.
Bizarre phenomena are rampant among humans.
Not only humans, but even monsters have been affected.
However, monsters are different from humans. When attacked, monsters become more frenzied than usual, not only killing humans but also their fellow monsters.
The only certainty is that once symptoms appear, regardless of whether they are immortal or not, they will not live more than a month.
hiss
Is this truly hell on earth? Is it not just Liyue, but the entire Teyvat region that has become like this?
Although I wasn't there in person, just imagining it made my hair stand on end and my sweat pour down.
this...
In a world like this, where is there any possibility of survival?
Despair is all that people living in this world face.
Wendy: "This is terrifying."
Zhongli: "Sigh, monsters tearing each other apart? In this environment, what's the difference between humans and monsters?"
Bai Shu: "It is indeed something like a curse, but this kind of curse should not belong to Teyvat."
Kong: "Who said that? Heaven cursed Kanria, turning its mixed-race people into Hilichurls."
Buyer: "But there's no reason for God to curse the whole of Teyvat. What's her motive?"
Rheindorf: "I don't think the heavens would be idle enough to send out a curse and then send the Time Government to fetch reinforcements."
Barbielos: "Does the laws of nature also conduct experiments? For example, someone who wanted to strengthen Teyvat by absorbing Mr. Su Bai's power ended up failing, and Teyvat was destroyed."
Funina: "Your imaginations are truly rich and varied."
Fukalos: "I still believe that this curse was caused by an otherworldly invasion six hundred years ago."
Elhesen: "What Barbielos said is terrifying. If Tianli obtains powerful strength from Mr. Su Bai, he wouldn't really do that, would he?"
Ying: "My God, now that you mention it, I don't think we're really going to implement Project Ark."
Su Bai: "Honey, be normal, you're overthinking it."
Yuan Shang: "Since Master Su has spoken, then there's no problem."
"So that's how it is."
Upon hearing this, Su Bai's expression became extremely solemn.
Before this, he had already roughly guessed that the culprit causing Liyue's current state might stem from the spread of some kind of force.
[This led to an excessive number of deaths among the people of Liyue, and the city fell into ruin due to the prolonged absence of people.]
But he never expected things to be so terrible.
When exactly did this happen?
"That happened six years ago." Gan Yu shook her head slightly, seemingly reluctant to bring up such a suffocating topic.
"By the way, you came here to find your junior brother."
【"he..."】
Gan Yu kept adjusting her breathing.
At this point, the advantages of being a long-lived being became apparent to her.
When faced with any situation, the emotions of immortals are not easily swayed.
"My junior brother... three years ago..."
“Dead.”
[I only overheard their conversation.]
Shen He's brows furrowed suddenly.
A hint of sadness, and a strange hatred, flashed in his eyes.
However, Su Bai shook his head and smiled, "I don't think that guy will die so easily."
"I know this is hard to accept," Gan Yu comforted Su Bai, "but we have confirmed our junior brother's death."
"And together they were buried in the ground."
"This can't possibly be fake."
"By the way, since you're here, I'll take you to my junior brother's grave. At least you should pay your respects."
"Right?"
Gan Yu forced a smile, suppressing her grief.
【...】
Soon, the three of them arrived at Su Bai's tombstone once again.
[But Shen He only saw an empty plate in front of the tombstone.]
His expression suddenly changed drastically.
The sound of gritted teeth seemed to reach Su Bai's ears.
Su Bai was taken aback.
Follow the other person's gaze.
[Then it dawned on him; if he wasn't mistaken, the previous offerings must have been prepared by Shen He.]
[Furthermore, judging from what Hu Tao said earlier, she seemed to have known all along that there would be offerings at Su Bai's grave.]
[Even in a post-apocalyptic world where food is scarce, Shen He must have wasted such a precious thing in front of his own tombstone.]
