Genshin Impact: I, the Winter's Executor, am forced to work.

"No...impossible, why?!" The Abyss King revealed a horrified and incredulous expression. In his view, no one could possibly emerge unscathed from his attack.

"Nothing is impossible. Now that I've regained my memories, isn't it normal for me to push my power to its limit?"

The shards of stone swirling around Qin Ye wrapped around his arm. As he stretched out his palm toward the King of the Abyss, the shards shot out rapidly, but entered the dark void the instant they left his hand.

The next second, countless openings appeared around the Abyss King.

The light shone on the black cube-shaped rubble, easily piercing through the Abyss King's body, and soon the body formed by black mist became riddled with holes.

At this moment, the King of the Abyss was like a broken, shaky sieve.

"impossible..."

He was still muttering to himself, faster and faster, as if he were possessed.

The body shrouded in black mist rushed straight towards Qin Ye, intending to stage a suicide attack.

"You! Fool! Since you are Qin Ye! Then what am I! Tell me!"

"..."

Qin Ye closed his eyes, unable to bear it any longer.

The light illuminated the entire space.

"If you weren't occupying my body, things would probably have turned out completely differently."

Chapter 263 Memories

three days later.

Qin Ye slowly woke up from the bed. He had expended too much power in the dream, and he had merged into the dream with the power of his physical body, plus the recovery of his memories. After leaving the dream, he fell into an endless self-adjustment phase.

"Awake?"

"Brother Qin Ye!"

The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Columbia and Tatiana, who had always been by his side.

"Your body..."

Tatiana quickly grabbed the other person's arm, took their pulse, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "It's alright... just a little too healthy."

"..."

How did you even master this skill?

"You've regained your memories?" Columbia sat on the edge of the bed, her back to Qin Ye, her legs swinging nervously. "Hmm... Is anything wrong? Your brain? Your body? Your memories?"

"It's nothing, it's just that my memory is still a bit blurry. Is it because it's been sealed away for a long time?"

The girl shook her head: "No...it's because there's one last safeguard. If you're prepared, I'll tell you, but by then, it will mean your war against the laws of nature has already begun."

Qin Ye's gaze shifted back and forth between the two women: "What are my chances of winning now?"

He felt that there was no problem, but he was afraid that this was just an illusion caused by the recovery of his strength, and that if he got carried away, he might implicate them.

“Don’t worry, this is the most prosperous period in your thousands of years. All I need is your confidence,” Columbia said calmly.

"Okay, I'm all ready."

An eerie silence suddenly fell over the room.

"what happened?"

The girl nervously squeezed her two thumbs together, her body stiffening slightly: "Um, Tatiana, turn your head away first."

"Okay." The girl turned around without any questions.

"Qin, close your eyes, I'll teach you what to do next."

"Okay." Qin Ye didn't feel anything was wrong and closed his eyes directly.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the man felt something soft touch his lips. He tried to open his eyes, but his consciousness was plunged into darkness.

"Phew... thank goodness, no one saw me." The girl patted her chest, feeling all the blood rush to her face.

Click, click, click.

The sound of a phonograph machine came from the side.

"?????? Tatiana, I didn't mean that!"

"Yes, you did mention it, but I just turned around to get something and didn't tell you I was ready. I never expected it, I've collected some really good scenes."

"Give me the phonograph right now!"

-

Qin Ye slowly opened his eyes, and memories transformed into images that passed before his eyes, the images accelerating until they finally settled at the beginning.

white.

His vision turned into an endless white expanse until a ray of warm sunlight shone into the space, and he finally saw the scene before him clearly.

"You...stop playing all day long. Have you finished the tasks I gave you?"

His body, enveloped in light, radiated boundless warmth. Before him stood a petite girl in a white robe, who looked aggrieved as she stood up, revealing her fair little feet.

Her feet touched the ground, yet remained unstained by the mud, and her jewel-like pupils revealed boundless curiosity.

"Oh... I see, isn't this experiencing what you call human emotions?" The little girl's voice grew softer and softer: "Honestly, all you do is nag me all day long."

"You! You! You! Seriously... besides the joy of having fun, what else did you experience?"

Isn't happiness the most important emotion?

"..."

The little girl's innocent question broke the person's defenses.

"Then go and give it a try. Remember, humans are different from you. Immortals can even be said to have infinite lifespans, so don't interfere with them too much."

"Good~"

The little girl didn't want to waste any more words with him and quickly ran down the mountain.

"Sigh... I still need more practice."

The radiant man silently shook his head and turned to leave.

"..."

Is this a memory from the past?

Qin Ye watched as scene after scene unfolded, but felt little sense of reality. The only thing that allowed him to truly immerse himself in the experience was...

Oh my god, little Columbia was so cute!

However, that man covered in light...

It doesn't seem like myself.

Keep reading.

...

The innocent little girl received permission to see humans and walked briskly into their settlement.

This is the human settlement closest to her.

She firmly believed that bringing happiness to humanity was her top priority, so she did not hide her identity and stepped directly into human land.

Unfortunately... humans reacted very differently when they saw her.

"My Lord Immortal...My Lord Immortal..."

Her existence is unattainable for humans; they only crave her guidance, not so-called friends.

"...Okay, leave it to me!"

The little girl still smiled, because she felt that it was just because they were not familiar with each other. She believed that once they spent some time together, they would naturally open up to her.

She set foot on human land and saw them building and constructing, so she joined in. She easily lifted a dozen bundles of timber with one hand and carried them around, earning even more admiring glances.

She easily defeated the wild beasts and monsters near the village, taught people how to make tools, and became a revered figure at the center of festivals.

She brings fire and warmth to people in rainy and snowy weather, and helps the sick make medicine. These are things her creator taught her, and she thinks they are very simple things... She is worshipped as a god by people.

"..."

Every time the little girl saw the mixture of admiration and fear in those people's eyes, her happiness diminished a little, and she began to understand the meaning of "don't interfere."

It turns out that happiness is not eternal... loss and sadness are also emotions that humans possess.

"...Columbia."

Qin Ye knew this was just a fragment of his memory, but seeing that once beautiful girl standing in the pouring rain, staring blankly at the sky, he wanted to kick that luminous man to death.

The little girl did make friends; one of them was a five or six-year-old child who didn't understand what fairies were, but knew that being with the older sister was a very happy thing.

As time passed, she grew into a graceful young woman, but after hearing rumors from those around her, she began to treat the fairy spirit with utmost respect.

"..."

Columbia completely lost the desire to make friends and traveled the entire continent as a fairy, teaching all the skills she had taught the villages to all humans.

She gradually became less talkative, only observing the movements of humans from the sidelines.

Perhaps ten years have passed, or perhaps a hundred, she seems to recall that one and only friend, buried deep in the corner of her memory.

She returned to her original village, wanting to see him again, even if it was only from afar, she wanted to rekindle the passion she once had in her heart.

She saw her.

On the cold tombstone, only the name, already somewhat blurred, remains deep in my mind.

Chapter 264 The Girl Stands on the Earth

The girl walked on the earth, watching the people suffering from natural disasters, recording everything that happened, helping them rebuild their homes, but leaving no name and fleeing far away.

She had seen countless deaths, countless diseases, countless betrayals, and countless...human beings.

One day, a familiar light came to her side.
