He changed Tiwat

They are usually people who intend to steal a country and engage in conspiracies and tricks.

In the final moments of his wanderings, he chose this name by his own will.

He couldn't even remember the names he had used before.

Inazuma's traditional dramas often use the names of three acts together as the title, such as "Sumire-dyed," "Mountain Moon," and "Tiger Bites the Mirror," which together form the play "Sumire-dyed, Mountain Moon, Tiger Bites the Mirror."

Perhaps one day, everything this body has experienced will become a story told by humans, a distant memory from the earth's veins.

But now, his third act is still unfolding.

It can be seen that when retaliating against "Thunder and Lightning Five Transmissions", "Scattered Soldier" had become the executive officer "Scattered Soldier" and met "a certain scholar" ("Doctor"). At this point, he should already have the "name" "Scattered Soldier".

So, was the name "Guo Pang" chosen before or after he became a "scattered soldier"?

According to the plot of 2.6 "Radiant Splendor Festival", the name "Kokubaku" appeared after he met Kaedehara Yoshiyoshi and used this name to declare his revenge to Raijin. So why does the relic text say that "at the end of his wandering, he chose this name by his own will"?

He was already the Winter Solstice Executive Officer at this point, so why is he still called "The Last Wanderer"?

At this point, we can almost confirm that the "scattered soldiers" have "slices," and the Huaguan set of relics preserves the "slice" of memories of being a "wandering boy."

Additionally, in version 3.3, a dialogue occurred when the "Skirmisher" asked the Grass God for his memories that were deleted by the World Tree:

[Wanderer: God, do you think I am evil?]

Nasita: If you acknowledge those "you" as yourself, then that is evil.

Wanderer: In your eyes, is there a difference between a human and a doll?

Nasita: Do you believe there's a difference between yourself in your "past life" or even in "other lives" and yourself? If not, then what's the difference between a human and a puppet?

At first glance, this statement seems to be about the evil he committed when he was an executive officer, "Scattered Soldier," but Nasita's choice of words is very strange—himself in "previous life" and "other life."

"Previous life" can refer to his past life, but what about "other lives"? How many lifetimes did he live, and how many "other lives" did he have?

Why are there no difference between "previous life" and "other life" and this "scattered soldier"?

Even among the "slices," the "slices" of "Doctor" have different personalities. For example, after "Skirmisher" Oki lost his memory, he returned to his Kabuto form and became quite polite.

The Buddhist concept of the six realms of reincarnation does not say that the person after reincarnation is exactly the same as before. If they were exactly the same as before, how could they cultivate themselves? Unless a person reincarnates and retains their "Alaya consciousness" essence through special methods like the Great Compassion Tree King, they are actually two different people.

Moreover, even Nasita and the Great Tree King have different "fates".

Why is it that a "scattered soldier" is reincarnated as the same person?

—Unless, the “other life” and “previous life” of a “straggler” are exactly the same, no matter how many times he is reincarnated, the life he experiences is exactly the same.

—From the past to the present, the "straggler" has been experiencing Nietzsche's "eternal cycle." His current life is one he has already experienced, and one he will experience again, countless times; every insignificant detail or the grandest, most glorious peak of his life will repeat itself…

—Ishtar, the ruler of time, has the ability to send the "seeds" of the Divine Cherry Tree from the "future" to the "past." Is the "Scattered Soldiers" also related to Ishtar? Ishtar left behind many records of her actions in Inazuma.

The entire plot of "Skirmisher" is a "narrative trick" in a detective novel. The plot of "Skirmisher" was completed when version 1.0 was launched. He is the "transcendent" of "Eternal Reincarnation".

The "scatterer" has a special characteristic: he can wake up from his dreams.

In the "Unreturned Extinct Star" storyline, he can awaken on his own from the dream of the meteorite; in the Sumeru 3.3 storyline, he can also awaken on his own from the dream created by the Grass God... Just like he once awakened on his own from the "Sleeping Garden" because of an "unknown mistake"... That's why he was sealed a second time.

Teyvat is indeed, as the Grass God said, a grand "birth festival of the Flower Goddess of Reincarnation." This not only means that reincarnation exists on the continent of Teyvat, but also that the entire Teyvat is currently in a dream.

The enormous amphitheater Vanessa saw on Skye served this purpose.

Teyvat is "The Truman Show," an "amphitheater" under the control of the Isles of Skye.

The entire Teyvat region is dreaming of online multiplayer—

Apart from the "Descendants".

When the "scatterers" break free from the "eternal cycle," that's when all the truth of Teyvat will be revealed, and the story will come to an end.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this will require the final transformation of the "three spiritual transformations" of the "scattered soldiers," as well as the help of the "descending one," the Traveler.

Mihoyo's insistence on maintaining a consistent pace and refusing to release any more "scattered" plot points is all for the final twist of this narrative trick.

"Burning the tree" signifies the end of this dream.

Six, conclusion

Thus, from the cycle of reincarnation in Teyvat to the cycle of reincarnation in Sumeru Buddhism, and then to the "eternal cycle of reincarnation" of the "scattered soldiers," we have finally completed this article, "This is the Cyclic Fate of the World."

It contains a total of 34,000 words.

Yes, it's quite tedious to organize this hidden storyline from Genshin Impact and to fully narrate the reasoning process.

This is the result after I have highly condensed all the information—and if miHoYo wants to create such a massive storyline, the amount of text it needs cannot be less than the research I have here; it would require at least ten times more text than this research.

Moreover, to reach this point, it is not only necessary to collect various fragmented textual information from the game, but also requires the researcher to have sufficient reading and philosophical understanding. Otherwise, even if the words "eternal reincarnation" are written into the script, the title of the PV is "The Book of Past Lives in the Void Ashes", and the word "Transcendent" is slapped in people's faces, they simply won't understand it.

From a technical standpoint, I genuinely admire this script.

It's a big job, a tough job.

To dare to put this kind of plot in a second game script is very impressive and awesome. I admire it.

I believe that when miHoYo's writers created this kind of plot, they were also guided by Nietzsche's "Übermensch" spirit and decided to become "transcendent beings".

But Nietzsche's final fate was a tragedy.

No one could understand him when he was alive, and that was not the fault of ordinary people.

Of course, Nietzsche didn't care about the opinions of the "last man".

Just like the song "The Goddess Splits the Temple" says: "A high-level song may not be unknown to people, for there will always be kindred spirits and elegant lyrics."

But alas… after the fleeting popularity of "The Goddess Splits the Temple," how many young people have truly fallen in love with Peking Opera? Are there more people reading historical research than reading novels? Are there more readers of hardcore fiction than readers of Peach's fiction?

The path to becoming a "transcendent" is arduous.

This is the only time I've ever felt no sense of accomplishment after completing research, because "all of this is nothing but a fleeting dream of glory, which will eventually dissipate into the sighs of suffering on earth..."

"Talks at the Symposium on Literature and Art" is a must-read.

I simply write down what I see faithfully, and then quietly wait for time to provide the answer.

This time, I sincerely hope that miHoYo will launch a major backstab at me and deliver a very stable 12+ result.

However, I do have some positive energy here—I wrote over 30,000 words in three days! I wrote 10,000 words a day for three consecutive days!

The human limit is clearly 4,000 words a day!

I guess I've become a "transcender" for once, haven't I?

If I were to be reborn in Teyvat, I could easily become a sage of the Theological Seminary, right?

QED

Chapter 144 "Three, two, one, one, two, three, ahhh—" [4k]

A massive, fox-shaped bolt of purple lightning fell from the clouds, striking the "scattered soldier" squarely on the head.

Just moments ago, he was solemnly turning the wheel of Dharma to wipe out the enemy's "scattered soldiers," but after taking this blow, he was covered in smoke and fell headfirst to the ground.

If his soul weren't a physical entity, he probably would have knocked out several of his front teeth.

"The lightning is so beautiful, don't you think?" The pink-haired witch, who had casually summoned lightning, said with a smile, though it was unclear whether she was asking "Scattered Soldiers" or Han Fulai.

The stragglers didn't even utter a sound—they simply passed out.

The space of consciousness also seemed to have been struck by heavenly lightning; the edges of the space began to twist and shake, on the verge of collapse.

After all, this space was originally the "Manas consciousness" of "scattered soldiers". It was hit by an impact that could cause the soul to fall into a "coma", so of course it could no longer maintain the existence of this space.

Just like the force that "stuns" a person in reality, it is also very likely to "kill" them. Such an attack that can make the soul fall into a "coma" would not be surprising if it could cause the "scattered soldiers" to be scattered on the spot.

It's unclear whether the Divine Child intended to kill the "scattered soldiers" in his attack just now.

Han Fulai also failed to reply.

This lightning bolt struck not only the "scattered soldiers"—the "giant fox-shaped purple lightning"—but also, crucially, the "giant"—the lightning's attack radius was at least several meters in diameter, making it a completely area-of-effect attack.

The area covered by the lightning was only about half a body length away from Han Fulai.

Therefore, Han Fulai was fully affected by the aftershocks of the lightning strike.

So Han Fulai, who had been standing calmly with his hands behind his back when facing the "scattered soldiers," could no longer maintain his composure—the aftershocks of the thunder also sent him flying, resulting in a "backwards landing on the sand like a wild goose."

Although the aftershocks wouldn't cause him any real harm, Han Fulai was still feeling quite unwell.

He felt like he'd hit the jackpot—the kind of jackpot you get with heavy trucks.

This is a shock on the level of the soul.

Previously, the "Scattered Soldier" had also launched a soul attack on him, but he had easily neutralized it. Judging from the "Scattered Soldier's" reaction, Han Fulai probably knew that the level of his soul's refinement was above that of the other party.

If "Scattered Soldier" is a "half-step Demon God," then his soul must have reached the level of a Demon God. At least, that's how Han Fulai perceives himself.

The aftershocks of that divine lightning strike from the Divine Child could potentially harm him. What level is that Divine Child? This person isn't just an ordinary divine servant, is she? Just how much power is she hiding?

He couldn't help but feel horrified: what if the divine child was not his ally, but his opponent, and the lightning that struck him was not the "scattered soldier" but him?

Just then, Miss Fox, who had just struck someone with lightning, turned around and saw Mr. Han, who had fallen flat on his backside. Miss Fox elegantly covered her mouth with her hand, concealing her smile.

Under the awe-inspiring power of thunder, the witch's every move exuded a sacred majesty, and even the smile on her face seemed a bit mysterious.

She moved gracefully to Han Fulai, who was still in a daze, then bent down and extended her hand to him...

—But not by pulling him up.

The divine child reached out and scratched his chin like a cat.

"Follow me, 'Three, two, one, one, two, three, ahhh—', hurry up."

"?" Han Fulai inexplicably felt like he was being teased.

No, no, would someone actually touch a complete stranger of the opposite sex on their first meeting? Ah, speaking of which, does a meeting of souls count as a meeting? Or is it "spiritual communion"?

Han Fulai shook his head, quickly stood up, and didn't forget to bow to the Divine Child to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your help, Palace Master Yae."

"Tch..." The divine child clicked her tongue in boredom, muttering to herself, "So she didn't lose her memory after all. I thought she might..."

"..." So if I lose my memory, what are you planning to do to me?

Han Fulai abruptly changed the subject, "The heavenly lightning that Lord Gongsi struck just now was incredibly powerful; it seemed capable of striking directly at one's soul?"

"It's the 'secret technique of Narukami Taisha,' isn't it amazing?" The shrine maiden looked at her with a "praise me" expression.

"Uh..." Han Fulai didn't know how to answer again. Why did this divine child seem so much more "lively" than when she spoke to her before? Was it because no one else was watching? Was this her true nature?

Well, we represent Liyue and Inazuma, so shouldn't you, Yae-no-Kage, be a little more reserved?

Ignoring Han Fulai's embarrassment, the Divine Child asked with a smile, "Speaking of which, I do have a question. You seem to have known all along that I was here... Is it because you can sense the 'Fox Spirit'?"

In Inazuma folklore, there is a saying called "fox possession," which tells of how some wicked fox spirits can possess humans and enjoy toying with them.

The character “凭” means both “to rely on” and “proof”. It is said that people possessed by fox spirits will exhibit certain characteristics, such as their pupils becoming vertical.

Although foxes are canines, their pupils have characteristics of felines.

In addition, those possessed by fox spirits may also be able to use some of the fox spirit's supernatural powers and spells. Among them, the more special "Heavenly Fox Possession" is the fox-shaped lightning bolt we just saw.

That bolt of lightning was a great secret technique inherited from the bloodline of Inazuma Shirotatsu, called "Heavenly Fox Manifestation," which could change the celestial phenomena and command thunder. The Heavenly Fox's lightning could not only strike tangible objects, but also intangible souls.

When this secret technique is unleashed, even a great demon like Yae no Miko must reveal his true form... namely, his tail.

Well, generally speaking, those who have seen Lord Miyaji's tail have already been reduced to ashes.

For thousands of years, Narukami Shrine has subdued countless demons and monsters, both tangible and intangible. This move, "Heavenly Fox Manifestation," can even stop the little demons from crying at night in Inatsume.

Han Fulai is now one of only two people who have witnessed the "Heavenly Fox Manifestation" without being reduced to ashes—the other lucky viewer is Lei Movie, who can use the fox's tail as a hand warmer.

Han Fulai had never heard of the "fox spirit" that the divine child mentioned. He smiled and said, "We spoke in the snake bone mine. At that time, I knew that your consciousness was residing in the protective amulet."

“At that time, Kanoin simply presented the amulet without any spellcasting. That’s not how you operate a remote communication device. Moreover, he didn’t explain any background to you, but your first words were to ask me to deal with the ‘evil spirit,’ which means that our movements have been under your surveillance all along.”

“You mentioned back then that our interests were aligned in dealing with the Fools’ Evil Eye Factory, which means you also wanted to destroy this stronghold. Although young man Kanoin is highly skilled in martial arts, he probably wouldn’t be able to take down a secret stronghold guarded by Fools’ executives all by himself. The fact that he dared to come down the Serpent Bone Mine with me that night must mean he had other backing—namely, you, Lord Kuji.”

"So this time when I entered the Fools' Factory, I borrowed the amulet from Kanoin beforehand. My good habit is to never fight a battle unprepared, and the confidence I have in chatting with the 'scattered soldiers' here for so long without worrying about being trapped is naturally thanks to you, Lord Kuji."

Actually, there were still some things he didn't say.

According to the game's storyline, the Traveler will be defeated by the "Skirmishers" in the Evil Eye Factory, and the person who appears to save the day is Yae no Miko. Therefore, even without having met Shinoin before, Han Fulai was quite certain that he would encounter Yae no Miko here by communicating with Miko in advance.

The Divine Child not only left a contingency plan in the protective barrier of the Rokunoin Temple, but also made prior contact with Ying and Paimon, and probably left tracking spells on them as well.

Whether it's following Kanoin or Hikari, the Divine Child will eventually have to deal with this Evil Eye Factory.

Moreover, "Scattered Soldiers" were also puppets created by Thor, and they had a lot of connections with the Son of God, who was a follower of Thor. Most of the demons that Sun Wukong fought on his journey to the West were taken back by various gods. It was normal for the Son of God, the "parent," to step in and take the "Scattered Soldiers" back when he was fighting this naughty child.

Therefore, the appearance of the divine child was part of his plan from the very beginning.
