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

[Element: Rock]

[Martial Arts: Demon God Level]

[Remaining lifespan: 70 years]

Status: Extremely chaotic

"The effects of the war between immortals and demons haven't ended yet; I can't grow old," he said. "I want to finish it all."

The war between immortals and demons was the second major war that took place in Liyue a hundred years after the war between demons and gods. After this war, the people suffered and karmic obstacles ran rampant.

The evil god is dead, but the calamities he left behind are far from over.

Filth, regret, karmic obstacles.

[Your current physical condition no longer allows you to do what you did in the last battle against the demons; you are not young anymore.]

Human reason.

You're getting old.

For the past ten years, you have been secretly absorbing the karmic burdens in the hearts of the immortals, just as you did a hundred years ago. But karmic burdens can never be completely absorbed, and you are no longer the person you were a hundred years ago.

Your aging body is no longer suitable for Nuo rituals.

Stop—this is my advice to you.

senescence.

Aging is an inescapable fate for mortals, but for some reason, Fu She aged exceptionally quickly ten years after the war between immortals and demons.

Floating She watched the twilight tide, seeing the waves chasing the sunlight. As the sun dimmed, fishing boats began to return to port, their songs echoing back and forth. Smoke rose from every household's chimney. Today was New Year's Day, and Liyue Harbor was bustling and prosperous.

No matter how many times I see this country's New Year celebrations, I always cherish them.

“Human principles,” Fu She said. “Happy New Year.”

【What】

"The New Year celebrations in Liyue Harbor are very lively."

Fu She coughed and paused for a moment. “The New Year is a time for family reunion. Every year during the New Year, everyone gathers together. Junior sister, those good-for-nothing idiots, the people of Liyue also reunite, decorate with lanterns and colorful decorations, and enjoy family happiness.”

I don't understand.

"I am just a mortal. I will leave this world sooner or later."

He said softly, "I can't watch over the New Year of Liyue forever, I can't protect the people of Liyue forever, but those stupid Yaksha can. I'm a useless and disappointing older brother, and the only thing an older brother can do is protect the idiots."

"I will devour their suffering."

"In this way, they can take my place and watch over Liyue forever—this is the meaning of Fushe's six hundred years of life."

“Like a rock,” he said. “That’s great.”

What do you want to do?

A gentle breeze stirs the waves, and layer upon layer of rolling waves crash against the rocks. Dead waves break into foam, while new waves carry away the foam. The waves roll and roll, and it looks like it's going to rain. The waves push and push into a thousand towering waves!

'Your aging body is no longer suitable for exorcism.'

“Compress my life. I remember you could do that.”

Fu She smiled and said, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected in his eyes as deep as an autumn pool, "Seventy years is too long, it doesn't need to be that long, it needs to be shortened, shortened. Ten years, one year, one month, or even a moment."

"Make me young again."

"To make me as young as I was a hundred years ago."

"It allows me to do what has been done a century ago."

The setting sun completely blurred in my eyes, the crimson glow dyeing the heavy clouds, large swathes of fiery clouds.

【Floating Abode】

It seems that Renli is planning to say something more.

“I just said, ‘I can’t get old,’ not—”

Fu She smiled, a hearty, carefree, and joyful smile that would be passed down and etched deep into the soul of this man.

"Instead of 'I can't die'."

It's Chinese New Year! Fireworks soar into the sky, and brilliant bursts of light trail long tails as they fall down against the vast expanse of the heavens—it's a beautiful sight.

.

After a long while, he seemed to realize something and sighed helplessly.

Suddenly everything went black.

Slender, fair fingers with a cool, smooth touch.

Someone covered my eyes from behind.

"Senior brother, guess who I am?"

The voice was cold and aloof.

"Junior sister."

Instant answer.

Idiot, you've already called me senior brother, who else would call me senior brother?

"We've been discovered."

The slender white fingers loosened their grip, and Fu She turned around. His junior sister, Gan Yu, stood calmly behind him.

Her long, light blue hair was tied into a ponytail that trailed down to her waist. She wore two small black and red Qilin horns, a white cheongsam with gold patterns, and black pantyhose with gold trim. She looked up at Fu She intently.

The junior sister maintained this serious and elegant expression throughout, even when playing childish games like 'Guess Who I Am'.

He always maintains this calm and composed demeanor, like a little adult.

It makes you want to tease her.

Fu She ruffled his junior sister's hair, messing up her originally neat long hair. The touch felt very comfortable, and he became more and more enthusiastic as he ruffled it.

He and Gan Yu were legitimate senior and junior disciples, having become disciples of the Three-Eyed Five Manifestations Immortal's "Leaving Clouds and Borrowing Wind" True Lord. Fu She was a few years older than Gan Yu, so he always referred to himself as "senior brother".

"Senior brother," Gan Yu maintained her calm expression, "please don't play childish games."

She was very gentle, and even though Fushe was ruffling her hair like that, she didn't get angry.

But you were just playing a childish game called "Guess Who I Am"...

"Junior sister, you've grown up. You're not funny or cute anymore," Fu She said with a sigh. As one gets older, one can't help but feel sentimental and reminisce about the past.

"I remember how cute you were when you were little, round and chubby like a ball. All the other kids couldn't beat you in a fight; you'd just roll around on the ground, and they'd all run away..."

A slight pain in my lower back.

"Senior brother."

Gan Yu's eyes remained calm and serene, though her earlobes were slightly red. She pursed her lips and earnestly suggested:

There's no need to mention yesterday's flowers.

“Picking up the flowers at dusk is quite interesting... Hmm... Okay, there’s no need to bring up yesterday’s dusk.”

Fushe had no choice but to surrender.

"And," Gan Yu's voice was somewhat low.

"and?"

Fu She asked.

"and."

The junior sister unconsciously clutched the hem of Fu She's clothes, her icy blue eyes lowered, avoiding Fu She's questioning gaze.

Fu She noticed the afterglow of the fireworks illuminating her delicate profile, giving it a slightly flushed blush. Her lips moved slightly, and after a long pause, she spoke in a voice as soft as a chirping insect:

"I am now..."

She said, "...Isn't it cute?"

Their icy blue eyes met each other's purple eyes.

Fu She hadn't expected his junior sister to say something so traditionally fitting for the junior sister's character.

Gan Yu is serious and meticulous, always solemn. Even when joking or playing games, she maintains an elegant and calm demeanor, confident and gentle, truly possessing the bearing of a Qilin.

But now she lowered her eyes and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"cute."

Fu She rubbed her head again and pinched her cheek. "But I still think it's cuter to be a little chubby. Being too thin is not good. Don't always think about losing weight. Being fair and chubby is nice."

"Idiot," Gan Yu said softly.

She gazed at her senior brother.

Fushe's appearance is no different from that of Bai Nian; he looks to be around thirty years old at most and is still very handsome.

What truly signifies aging are the subtle details: the occasional gray hair at the temples, the occasional cough, the weariness and occasional languor revealed in the eyes.

Although he hid it well, a closer look would reveal something unusual.

This was a sign of aging, and Gan Yu noticed it right after she was born... She's really amazing.

Human lifespan has a limit.

Gan Yu is not stupid.

We won't only realize our mistakes when our loved ones are nearing death, nor will we stubbornly believe that time is eternal.

She is a semi-divine beast who is very good at observation, organization, and analysis. She is decisive and efficient, and once she makes up her mind, she will carry it out—Gan Yu doesn't want to have any regrets.

Fireworks lit up the night sky, and Liyue Harbor came alive with activity. Lanterns, dragon dances, firecrackers... vendors' cries, women's guessing riddles, men's clinking of glasses—all sorts of sounds and sights mingled together.

"Senior brother, it's very lively over there."

Gan Yu tilted her head and smiled gently in the fireworks, "I promised you would accompany me to the market and spend the New Year with me."
