Genshin Impact, I, a mere mortal, cannot accompany you to the very end.

He had already said goodbye to Paimon and made grilled fish for Ying; he was prepared for the worst.

Rustan certainly respected and loved the lady, but their positions were different, so they were enemies.

If the male protagonist is truly hypocritical, and only kills the executioner without harming the woman, then he could have just killed her and gotten off quickly. Why stand there like an idiot for so long, waiting for the woman to come out?

As for the question from some readers about why the sailor scene was included, my answer is to speed up the conflict and the pace of the story.

Otherwise, if we follow the main storyline of Genshin Impact's Mondstadt, the pacing of the plot will be even slower.

This has led many readers to misunderstand that what I wrote was problematic, very problematic.

I will pay more attention to rhetoric and express myself more clearly in the future. I apologize to the readers who have been troubled.

By the way, I originally didn't intend to end this chapter, but some readers suggested that I shouldn't write a long chapter.

Ok.

All I want to say is that the longer chapter was also based on readers' suggestions.

Volume 1: Chapter 59 The Wind Whispers of the Clear Field: This life ends here.

【Qingye Fengyin, are you content with your life?】

Human reason suddenly spoke.

Dawn had broken, and gentle waves lapped against the gilded sand. Golden sparks rose and fell with tiny bubbles, then quickly sank back down. The lady had left, and only Qingye Fengyin remained, lying peacefully on the sand.

I don't know how long I've been asleep.

The boy's eyes were slightly open, as if he were asleep. The morning light painted his delicate profile, and his long, snow-white hair spread out on the ground. He lay on the beach, watching the sun just breaking through the horizon.

Have you heard this before...?

Kiyono always had this illusion.

He opened his eyes wearily, his blood and energy almost stagnant, his chest empty, feeling as if he were in an ice cave, the wear and tear never felt so great, his soul being crushed again and again.

He was already on his deathbed.

“There’s no such thing as being satisfied or not satisfied,” he suddenly said. “I just don’t want to mess around anymore.”

When Kiyono Raimei was dying, Hitoshi must have asked him if he was satisfied with his life, right?

There's no such thing as satisfaction or dissatisfaction in life. He spent his whole life just trying to die, as if countless people were urging him, "Hey, why don't you die faster?" Now that he's about to die, people are asking him if he's satisfied.

He was not satisfied.

But what can be done if things aren't satisfactory?

There are still so many places in Mondstadt I haven't been to, and so many places in Teyvat I haven't checked off my list. Those guys call him Old Zombie, and now he's really going to become a zombie. After he's gone, will they come and touch his corpse?

But he didn't have much money; he was a pauper his whole life and couldn't leave them any inheritance. After he passed away, the little girl named Keli would still go to the fish and fry bar. They had promised to play together, but he could no longer accompany her.

What kind of nonsense is this?

"I don't want to live like this in my next life."

Qingye Road.

"I want to live a happy and joyful life. I don't want to do so many things anymore."

"Live a carefree and happy life, find a wife, and live a peaceful and stable life."

You did it on purpose; you lied to me.

Human reason.

"what?"

You died before your body matured; you did it intentionally because you didn't want things to continue like this.

[You were just fooling me when you said 'I can't die yet.' If you really didn't want to die, you would have left long ago.]

You failed on purpose.

"...You saw through me." Kiyono smiled. "What will I be like in my next life?"

Compared to Rustam's failure, you are much luckier this time, because your destiny in this life is about to be cleared, and you will no longer be entangled by past memories.

I don't know exactly what you will do.

Human reason.

But as the wind whispers through the clear fields, you will eventually remember all of this.

This is your destiny; mortals can never escape their fate.

His body grew colder and colder. The orange sunlight bathed Qingye, but he felt no warmth. He breathed heavily and weakly, each breath feeling like a knife cutting into his internal organs.

He has lost everything, gone, like the wind.

Now, Qingye Fengyin, finish what you need to do.

Main Quest: Purify Dvalin

Rosalyn once lost all her tears, and now Kiyono Kazein has taken away his heart.

How long can a person live without a heart?

An ordinary person would definitely die instantly.

He didn't know how long Qingye Fengyin could stay alive.

On his deathbed, he would often see many fantasies, many memories of the past, and the long years of his life.

A quarter of an hour, half an hour? Maybe the length of a song.

He also wants to sing a song.

"I'm about to die, so you can give me that memory now."

Qingye Road.

He has no present, nor does he know the past. His past memories have been buried by human reason. Thousands of years of memories are a deadly poison to a mortal body. Just recalling Rustan from five hundred years ago is enough to cause him fatal damage.

If one were to recall memories from thousands of years ago, it would be fatal in an instant, which is why human reason is sealed away.

But now that he's about to die, reading those memories is no longer important.

The carefree boy propped himself up against a rock on the beach, struggling to stay upright. Before him stretched an endless expanse of azure sea, the sea breeze carrying the fresh scent of the waves, the shimmering light reflecting in his eyes.

He waved his hand, and a clear echo resounded from the distant horizon.

Qianfeng carried the Sky Harp and descended into his hands.

The Harp of the Sky.

It is a harp.

It has a long history and is a treasure of Barbatos, the god of wind. Legend has it that Barbatos inherited it from a friend.

But when Qingye Fengyin first saw it, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if she had owned it before and was once its owner.

While traveling in Mondstadt, when he reached the summit of Cape Oathkeeper, he had a strange sense of déjà vu, as if he had been there before, a very, very long time ago, long before Rustan was even born.

What do all these things signify?

The most obvious evidence is that Dvalin, the Stormterror, watched him and shed tears.

Kiyono Kaze could never forget the look in his eyes that day. His bloodshot eyes were filled with glistening tears, a look of disappointment and betrayal, as if he had once been his friend.

Does Rustan know Stormterror?

In my memory, they had only met once.

His life may have started much earlier, long before he met Dvarin and played the harp of the sky high in the heavens.

Kiyono is going to his death today, partly to end his fate with the lady, and partly to verify this idea, taking his lost memories with him as he dies.

Will it hear me?

Kiyono Fuyuki didn't know that he just wanted to sing one last song.

His life was reduced to the time it takes to sing a song.

Gently stroking the strings, the warm and cool body of the instrument was like jade. The boy leaned against the reef, listening to the sound of the sea breeze blowing against the waves, and his fingertips touched the strings.

"The west wind will carry away the aroma of the wine."

The rainy night at Guojiu Lake was truly a beautiful and interesting song.

The husband goes off to war, the wife stays at home, the wind carries the wine of their hometown, the wind brings news of victory, the wind tells the wife not to worry about her life, the wind tells the wife how much she misses her.

If the wind had served as a messenger, could Rustam and Rosalind have achieved a better ending?

"The mountain breeze brings news of victory."

He thought of many other things. He had looked up at the sky from the prison of the Lonely King in the Tower of Towers. He had climbed to the top of Dadaupa Valley to look for feathers. He had searched for the traces of the sunset in the Bright Crown Mountains and Star Chasing Valley. He died the day before dawn.

Blue sky, white clouds, flying birds, poetry, and dragons.

The wind from afar stirs my heart.

[The soft murmur of my longing for you]

The boy who lost his heart had only one song left. His voice was low, but the wind carried it far.

Just as described in the song, the wind is their messenger, carrying their messages.

The sound of flapping wings came from beside me, accompanied by a dragon's roar.

"You heard that."

Qingye Fengyin turned his head to the side, and Tvalin slowly landed on the beach.

It stared silently at Qingye Fengyin, then lowered its head. Qingye saw the wound on his neck, which had just scabbed over. It was a wound inflicted by Shenqie.

Kiyono gently stroked the slightly gruesome scar and whispered, "I'm sorry..."

"I'm sorry, I forgot about you."

The boy's shadow was reflected in the emerald green dragon's eyes.

A dark and distorted aura slowly rose up, and the Sky Harp gradually shed the dragon's madness. Dvalin gazed sadly at the heartless boy, folding its wings and tucking its forelimbs together, as quiet as a kitten.
