Red-haired Leggenfind scratched his head and said indifferently, "Didn't that junior say that he couldn't guarantee 100% accuracy in bringing the dead back to life? In the end, we are just accessories."

Barbatos' last gaze fell on the tall and majestic figure behind the three people.

"Diakarabian."

This figure was none other than Mond's former Tornado Demon, King of the Fierce Winds, Deacarapian. Today, Mond is more accustomed to referring to him as "The Lonely King of the Tower", a derogatory term.

"Barbatos." The voice of the Tornado Demon God Diakrapian was infuriating. "Can you really protect Mondstadt in your current state of disgrace?"

Without waiting for Barbatos to answer, Diekarapian softened his voice a little, "But I'm glad you didn't follow my old path."

After experiencing the enlightenment before death, the tyrant once seen by people also became friendly.

Behind Zhongli on the other side, there stood several immortals. The one in the lead had gray-blue hair and wore a Liyue style costume with super long sleeves. He raised his hands in front of his chest, crossed his hands inside his sleeves, and greeted Morax: "Big stone that doesn't understand human nature, we meet again."

The demon of dust, Hagentus, returns to the end.

"In the end..."

The look in his eyes was as complicated as Barbatos's. It was unclear whether it was due to the anger of the undead who had disturbed his friend or the joy of seeing his friend again. Looking at Guizhong who was still as quirky as before, Zhongli, who often reminisced about the past, didn't know how to respond for a moment.

There were also familiar figures around the others.

"It was Qiqi who came back to life... No." Ren Zha remembered that Qiqi had been defeated by a team of others, "It was Baishu."

Ren Zha gritted his teeth. That snake that hadn't been killed yet was actually quite capable!

Ren Zha saw a familiar figure next to Lei Dianying.

She was wearing the blue and white shrine maiden costume unique to Inazuma Narujin Taisha Shrine, with a pipe tucked into the butterfly knot at her waist and a pair of fox ears sticking out of her white hair.

Inazuma was once the guardian of Mingshen Island, a follower of the god of thunder, and also Ren Zha's teacher, Kitsusai Palace.

"Bai Shu has already told me what happened." After speaking to Ying, Hu Zhaigong's beautiful golden eyes looked towards Ren Zha.

"Little Ren Zha..."

Ren Zha subconsciously avoided looking at Hu Zhaigong, but quickly moved his gaze back, with cold eyes, and had no intention of talking to Hu Zhaigong at all.

Looking at Ren Zha who looked away and then looked back, Hu Zhaigong had a complicated look in his eyes when he saw Ren Zha's current appearance.

"It's really spectacular." Oropus opened his mouth at this time, "You can't handle it alone, you still need my help."

"Humph."

Ren Zha did not give an accurate response, but just snorted coldly.

Chapter 133 What makes me despair is the world itself

The broken head of Nidhogg, which was lying behind the two men, was raised up, and dragon breath spurted out of its mouth. This time, the dragon breath was blocked by everyone working together.

Ren Zha looked at the golden light coming from these people. Ying and Kong were still constantly dispersing their energy to compensate for the consumption just now.

"Only with this energy can we resist Nidhogg's attack." Ren Zha looked at Ying, "But the energy will eventually run out. Doing this will only drag you down. Since you have announced that the death of your companions will live on in your heart, why bother doing this? Anyway, they won't 'die'."

Ying glared at Ren Zha: "Stop talking nonsense here! I don't want to hear what you are saying!"

"Ren Zha..." Lei Dianying looked at Ren Zha who was trying to persuade Ying, and wondered in his heart, is Ren Zha planning to verify something on Ying?

Roar--!

"The monster's wounds are healing."

Kong, who was looking at Nidhogg's condition, reminded him that although sharing his power with everyone gave everyone the opportunity to hurt Nidhogg, Nidhogg still had a strong recovery ability.

Orobas jumped back onto the dragon's head, and with a roar, Nidhogg stood up from the ground again.

"I created Nidhogg, and I can better unleash the power of Nidhogg."

Nidhogg exudes a powerful aura.

"If you want to further control Nidhogg, you have to merge with Nidhogg and completely master this power."

Ren Zha also wanted to jump back onto Nidhogg, and Ying rushed towards Ren Zha.

"I won't let you succeed!"

The weapon in Ying's hand pierced through Ren Zha's ethereal body, and then the attacks launched by others also fell on his body. Ren Zha withdrew from the real space and came to his own desolate parallel space to avoid harm.

Humph, even without Nidhogg, my ability...

The purple lightning split the space, Meng Xiang Yi Xin slashed towards Ren Zha, and Lei Dianying's figure appeared from behind Meng Xiang Yi Xin and broke into the space.

"You got in by entrusting yourself to Meng Yuyixin? I almost forgot about you, a piece of trash, Narukami."

Lei Dianying grabbed Meng Xiang Yixin and pressed the sharp blade with lightning in his hand against Ren Zha's chest. Ren Zha did not resist at all. It seemed that as long as he continued to stab downwards, he would be able to penetrate Ren Zha's body.

Just like this knife back then, it pierced through a real body.

But at the last moment, Lei Dianying stopped and maintained a posture ready to attack Ren Zha at any time.

A mocking smile appeared on Ren Zha's lips.

"You are indeed hesitating." Ren Zha said, "Although you keep saying you want to kill me, you still show mercy. You used to be able to kill anything without hesitation, but you actually showed mercy to the enemy on the battlefield."

Lei Dianying did not answer. She really wanted to kill Ren Zha before, but when she really had to do so, she remembered what Ren Zha had said before. This Dream Sword, which had never been stained with blood in Zhen's hands, what else could she do in her hands except killing relatives and friends?

Can I really bear the pain of killing my friend again?

Ying also felt that since Ying brought him out of the Pure Land, he might have become weaker, not in terms of strength, but in terms of state of mind. Even though Ren Zha had done so many wrong things, he could not...

"Is it because of guilt?" Ren Zha continued to ask, "Is it because you deceived me, because you didn't fulfill your promise to me, and because you didn't protect Zhen well, that's why I am what I am now, and you feel guilty and can't bear to do it?"

Lei Dianying's pupils shrank slightly as he stared at Ren Zha.

Ren Zha said in a mocking voice: "Do you still want me to reform?"

Lei Dianying finally couldn't help but open his mouth: "Ren Zha, stop it."

The lightning shone on the faces of the two people.

"In the past, you wanted to protect your companions from the bottom of your heart and would not let them be killed. Unconsciously, you looked at Ying, who also valued her companions from the bottom of her heart, and heard that she would never let her companions leave and be killed. You subconsciously regarded what Ying said as what you had said before. That's why you wanted to persuade Ying to stand on your side, so that you could face up to your own "correctness". But the more you did this, the more you knew in your heart that you were walking on a "wrong" path. You also hope to be denied by your former self, don't you?"

Ren Zha's eyes were calm.

"Ren Zha, you can't fail to understand that Ying won't be convinced by you. You can still turn back and become your former self again."

“Hehehahahaha…” Ren Zha couldn’t help but shrug his shoulders, and then he could no longer suppress his laughter.

"you……"

Ren Zha stopped laughing and retorted, "You are wrong. It is precisely because I understand Ying's thoughts too well that I listen to everything she says." His eyes changed, "Then deny it all!"

"Ren Zha..."

A few words could not change this distorted thought.

"Also." Ren Zha continued to say to Lei Dianying, "The fact that you feel guilty about me is ridiculous in itself. If you think that the reason I started the war was just because of you and Zhen, you are totally wrong."

Ren Zha moved, and Ying, who thought Ren Zha was going to escape, stabbed downwards immediately. The sound of weapon piercing through flesh was heard. Ren Zha did not choose to leave, but instead took the initiative to meet the weapon in Ying's hand. Meng Xiang Yi Xin pierced through Ren Zha's heart, and lightning jumped on the wound, burning and destroying Ren Zha's body.

"Well……"

The sound coming out of Ying's throat, this scene, reminded her of the time when her sister had also actively thrown herself towards her.

The same weapon, the same wound, the same self, the memories that she didn't want to recall. In a trance, Ren Zha in front of her seemed to have turned into her sister's real appearance.

I want to...

"I know everything." Ren Zha said with his body pierced through, "She really threw herself at the weapon in your hand and chose death. She went to Kanria alone to protect you and Inazuma. She had already decided to die in Kairia. Even if you hadn't done it, it wouldn't have changed anything. This is a curse from heaven."

Ying's hand holding Meng Meng Yixin trembled slightly.

"No matter what, for me, I am a fake for not being able to protect the real you."

Ren Zha’s mind flashed back to five hundred years ago when he rushed to Kanriya and hugged Zhen’s corpse. At that moment, he understood.

"To me, Zhen was not destined to die. It's like you built a false world for me. In this false world, the dead Zhen is also false and a fake."

Ren Zha stepped back, and his dream was pulled out of his body bit by bit. There was lightning, the sound of friction between flesh and blade, and blood flowing on the ground.

"When I withdrew from the false world you built for me, I realized that it was the god system of this world, the Seven Gods, the country, the people, and the law of nature that repeatedly caused this situation. The throne changes, the gods change, and as long as they exist, they will continue to repeat and pass away."

Ren Zha's voice was cold.

"What really makes me desperate is the world itself. I am desperate about this false world."

"Ying said that the dead will remain in our hearts." Lei Dianying repeated what he had said before, "They will become the driving force for moving forward in our hearts. This is what I keep reminding myself..."

"Look clearly!"

Ren Zha raised his voice, and Mengxiang Yixin was completely pulled out of his body. He pointed his hands at the place that had just been attacked. The position of his heart had been destroyed by lightning, leaving a hole in his body. Through the empty hole, he could see the scene behind him.

"There's nothing left in my heart! I can't even feel the pain now."

Looking at the wound on Ren Zha that was destroyed by lightning, which was the same as the original scene, Lei Dianying pursed his lips and remained silent.

"You don't have to feel guilty, Lei Dianying." Ren Zha's voice softened a little. "This hole was torn open by this hellish world. I used to have nothing but pain in my heart. What's the point?"

It seemed like a question, but it didn't give Ying a chance to answer.

"So I abandoned everything. Didn't you do the same, living in pain all the time? In front of Zhen's grave, in front of my friend's grave, in front of my grave, you locked yourself in a pure land, always recalling the scars."

Thinking of the friends who kept passing away.

"Lei Dianying, that's enough." Ren Zha raised a hand, "You don't have to continue suffering."

Ying sensed something and looked around. A familiar figure appeared beside him. He was holding a pink umbrella, wearing a kimono, with long, smooth purple hair. He looked almost the same as himself and was looking at him with gentle eyes.

Ying's eyes trembled, Sister, it's true.

"She's really here."

Zhen opened his mouth with an expectant look: "Ying, we two sisters will never be separated again."

"And your ideal version of me is also here."

Ying looked to the other side again. Little Ren Zha folded his hands in front of him and said proudly: "I admire Master Ming Shen the most! I must become Master Ming Shen's bodyguard!"

"You can pursue what you like. In this world of illusion, you can get everything you want."

The ghost clan's Yu Chiyo, Baichen Fox Saigong...these former friends also appeared around him, waving and greeting Ying.

Ren Zha showed a gentle smile on his face, raised his hand and touched his empty wound: "The hole in your heart can be filled immediately."

Lei Diandian closed his eyes, then opened them, swinging his blade to destroy the afterimages formed by illusion around him.

"Sister, she is really gone." Ying looked at Ren Zha and opened his mouth, "And you are still alive now, aren't you? Do you think... do you think doing this can really fill the void in your heart?"

Ren Zha looked at Ying expressionlessly.

Ying Zhensheng said: "Don't erase everyone's memories of their lives! Even if you fill them with as many delusions as you can, the void in your heart cannot be filled!"

"What's wrong with the illusion world? Reality is too cruel and will only make this void bigger and bigger."

The longer you stay in reality, the more you will reminisce about the past. The scars in your heart will only continue to expand, and this wound will never heal.

"Reality is not so smooth, and it will be too late for us to help." Ren Zha paused for a moment, "Just like I was before, just like I was not able to catch up before!"

Ren Zha...

Lei Dianying suddenly remembered that Ren Zha had said that when his sister died in Kanruiya, he had just arrived at the scene.

I have always overlooked one thing. I thought that Ren Zha hated me, hated me for not protecting Zhen. He would rather awaken the Eye of God for his friend than watch his friend die in front of him. He hated me for taking away his Eye of God and fulfilling his last wish... But Ren Zha also hated himself!

Because he himself did not make it in time and watched Zhen die in front of him. He himself was unable to fulfill this promise. Just as he resented me, he would never forgive himself - this hole that he had torn open with his own hands.

"I'm right, Ying." Ren Zha lowered his voice, "How can I fill this void if I stay in this world?"

The two people looked at each other.

Ren Zha, just as I did in the beginning, he wanted to turn this world into his own "Pure Land of One Mind".

“I used to stubbornly believe that eternity is unchanging, and that as long as I stay in the Pure Land of One Mind, without thoughts or ideas, I can keep all the good memories of the past. But after walking out of the Pure Land of One Mind, I still learned something.”

Shadow closed his eyes.

"The emptiness in the soul needs others to fill it. Those who abandon their companions and the world because they don't agree with their own wishes will not find companions. In this way, the emptiness in the soul cannot be filled."

Thinking of the Son of God during the period of the Inazuma Eye Hunt Order, the rebels on Umigi Island, and even his own general Kujo Sara, who were secretly helping Ying to cancel the Eye Hunt Order, the entire Inazuma was thrown into chaos because of him.

“No one will help a person who only knows how to escape and does nothing. Eternity is not about standing still and reminiscing about the past, but about moving forward and creating a better future.”

"The eternal way is grand and the gods are eternal." I once failed the will of the people and did not promise my subjects the beautiful dream they deserved. Now, like my sister, I will become the next beginning of Inazuma.

"You can only say that." Ren Zha's eyes darkened, "Only by abandoning reality and the memories of my companions in this world can we find true happiness!"
