Su Yuan suddenly jolted awake, once again overco by that familiar and heart-palpitating sensation...
Feeling the sharp pain in the center of his left palm, Su Yuan knew—he had died once again.
He raised his left hand and looked at his palm.
The writing there had already beco sowhat ssy:
[Unfortunately, this is your third death today...]
[The one controlled by the eerie corruption wasn't Baizhu, but rather Changsheng, who resides on Baizhu's body...]
[Changsheng's abilities are imnsely powerful and terrifying. She can transfer Baizhu's illnesses and pain onto others, and she can also extract others' life force to sustain Baizhu...]
[Even an eerie-corrupted Chongyun is no match for a corrupted Changsheng...]
[Those who should not be alive continue to linger in the world, while those who should not die choose to leave early...]
[Actions that go against the natural cycle of life and death, attempts to defy fate—or killing others in Hu Tao's presence, including suicide—might trigger her Eerie transformation...]
[Additionally, Chongyun's eerie transformation appears to have an internal cooldown. Once he exits his eerie state, encountering corrupted individuals again will not imdiately cause him to re-enter it...]
Su Yuan stared at the ssage etched into his palm, falling deep into thought...
What puzzled him the most was Hu Tao's conditions for becoming Eerie.
Because in his mind, a faint and seemingly nonexistent mory began to surface—
A mory of Hu Tao holding Zhongli's corpse, gazing at him with a complex and unreadable expression...
If the condition for Hu Tao's eerie transformation is witnessing soone who shouldn't have died pass away prematurely, then why didn't she fall into eerie back then?
Could it be that Zhongli wasn't actually dead at that ti?
Or is it that Hu Tao must personally witness the process with her own eyes?
Su Yuan leaned more toward the latter explanation, because the rules indicated by the writing on his right hand also ntioned "in front of" Hu Tao.
Respecting death "in front of" her likely ans it has to be seen firsthand.
Su Yuan thought to himself—this was already the third ti he'd rewind today, yet so many questions still remained unanswered and unresolved...
With just these limited rewinds, could he really save everyone?
So might say: Su Yuan, you can't have it all.
These people have nothing to do with you, so why go to such lengths to save them?
Isn't this a bit too much, like playing the saint?
Yeah... Su Yuan understood that very well.
In the end, he was just a transmigrator—strictly speaking, he had no real ties or connections with anyone in Teyvat...
But every one of their pasts, every single one of their stories—he knew them all.
And since he did have so ability—why not do his best to try and save them?
Su Yuan also knew that eerie outbreaks were occurring all over Teyvat.
In the end, he wouldn't be able to save everyone...
But at the very least... at the very least, he couldn't let the tragedies repeat themselves around him!
Su Yuan looked at Keqing, who lay unconscious on the bed.
Just monts ago, Yelan had given her an ancestral elixir passed down through generations.
It seed to have temporarily stabilized Keqing's condition...
"Yelan, Chongyun..."
Su Yuan looked at the two of them and slowly spoke:
"I've learned so new intel... and I also have an idea..."
.............
Southeast of Mt. Hulao, at the base of the mountain where the river valley plains of Minlin lay, stood a massive tree known as the Dragon-Queller...
At the sealed roots of the Dragon-Queller Tree, Dottore—The Doctor—arrived.
Gazing at the tightly woven and imnsely powerful seal, he couldn't help but marvel:
"No wonder it's Morax... even after all this ti, the seal remains so formidable."
Dottore gently placed his hand on the seal, feeling the intensely concentrated Geo energy pulsing through it, and slowly spoke:
"Oh great Geo Dragon Sovereign, sealed twice over... do you harbor deep resentnt toward Morax? Toward all of Liyue?"
"Did you know? The Hydro Dragon Sovereign of Fontaine has already reclaid his full power—He has beco a complete dragon once more..."
"That feeling... of fully controlling yourself, of possessing such boundless strength... it's truly exhilarating."
"So, allow to propose a deal..."
"I shall break this tedious seal for you, and grant you new power..."
"Together, we'll slay Morax. We'll destroy the Geo Archon's divine throne... and return the might and dominion of the Geo Dragon to you..."
"Dottore..."
Just then, Dottore suddenly heard a sound behind him.
He turned around and saw Zhongli staring intently at him...
"Is this truly your own will... or an order from your Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya?"
"Oh? I didn't expect you to show up here..."
Faced with Zhongli's sudden appearance, Dottore was a bit surprised—but not entirely caught off guard.
"So, those creatures from the sea... failed to keep you occupied, huh?"
Listening to Dottore's words, Zhongli slightly furrowed his brows and slowly spoke:
"So it was you stirring up trouble with those sealed God in Guyun Stone Forest..."
"And what if it was?"
Dottore chuckled and replied:
"Morax, you and those Adepti really are full of contradictions..."
"You all claim that Liyue is now an era ruled by humans, and that one must trust in the potential humanity can create..."
"But when a true crisis cos, you and the Adepti can't help but show yourselves."
However, Zhongli had no intention of continuing to argue.
He brandished his spear and lunged straight toward Dottore!
He knew that Dottore had, to so extent, mastered the power of the Eerie—enough to easily break through the seal he had laid.
He had to stop him...
But he was still a step too late.
Dottore had clearly been prepared for this.
In the next instant, a wave of intense Eerie energy burst forth from him—
And Zhongli's Geo spear strike was easily dodged with a sidestep.
"Morax, since you've shown up here, then I suppose it's ti for a new thod—
A brand-new experint..."
As Dottore spoke, he injected a mass of Eerie energy into the seal binding the Geo Dragon Sovereign.
"Back in the Nation of Water, Fontaine, the Hydro Archon Focalors made a decision I hadn't anticipated..."
"To protect Fontaine, she chose to absorb so of the Eerie energy herself..."
"And you, Morax—the Geo Archon—will you make the sa choice as she did?"
Zhongli watched the scene unfold with a grave expression.
With the boost from the Eerie power, Dottore's speed and strength had already far surpassed what he had expected...
"Co to think of it," Dottore added with a mocking smile,
"Why do so many of you Adepti from Liyue behave just like Focalors..."
"Splitting off a part of yourselves... Becoming truly human... Blending into Liyue Harbor..."
"Do you all believe that when faced with the Eerie, you won't survive?"
"So you try to leave a part of yourselves behind in the mortal world?"
Dottore gave a faint smile, turned his gaze toward Zhongli, and spoke slowly:
"Morax, it's ti to make your choice..."
"If you don't hurry, the seal will soon be completely corroded— and the Geo Dragon Sovereign will fall under the control of the Eerie..."
