"There's something about the sacred cherry tree..."

Yue Yang smiled faintly, "As a 'Chicheng' alchemist who is skilled in using the power of the leylines, of course I know the effects of the Divine Sakura Tree."

"Really?"

Ying faintly felt that Yue Yang was lying.

That's right, Yue Yang is lying.

Because this sacred cherry tree that saved Inazuma is inextricably linked to Yueyang.

But for some reason, Yue Yang can't elaborate.

So Yue Yang had no choice but to change the topic and said with a smile, "Shadow, why don't you believe me yet~"

When Ying heard Yue Yang say this, he could only bury his doubts in the bottom of his heart.

Yue Yang quickly changed the subject and asked, "Why don't you take advantage of this moment and tell us about that disaster, I think Ying and Paimon are both curious, and so am I."

"Hmm."

Shadow nodded.

Looking sideways at the giant crimson cherry tree in the direction of the barra, my mind seemed to return to the past.

"At that time, Inazuma was facing multiple crises."

"Some are local, others... From the kingdom that has fallen, Kanria."

"My wife's calamity reassures me, and if I don't intervene in time, it could spread throughout Teyvat."

"And Kitsunaya told me that she would use all the forces around her to take on the responsibility of guarding Inazuma and clear my worries."

Thinking of the look on the back of the fox palace when he said this.

Shadow lowered her head lonely, and said lightly, "I can feel it, even if no one says it, but she and I both understand that the road ahead may be more auspicious."

"Hmm... Does that mean, when Kanria started the war, Inazuma was also attacked?"

Paimon asked curiously.

"Exactly~"

"Countless monsters have appeared on the land of Inazuma, and Kitsuneiya she... I gave my life to protect Inazuma."

At this point, a hint of bitterness flashed in Ei's eyes: "I didn't get to see her for the last time, but I believe that until the last moment, she fulfilled her promise to me."

"But even so, Inazuma's tragic situation far exceeded expectations."

"Those misfortunes have become great wounds that remain in this land... and in my heart."

…

"Shadow..."

Yue Yang gently patted Ei's shoulder.

At this time, Ying Ye raised his gaze and looked at Yue Yang: "I can't forget the pain caused by 'loss' for a long time, I have no strength, even if I can cut off the gods and stab the demonic beasts, I can't defeat time after all, and I can't leave the people I cherish."

Speaking of which.

Some unpleasant memories came to Ei's heart again.

She remembered Yue Yang's death back then.

She remembered her sister's sacrifice in that war.

I remembered the Fox Palace where the soul returned to the earth.

I thought of Chiyo who went out of control and went to the dark outer sea.

Yue Yang gently took Ying into his arms and said gently: "Ying, don't look back at the past, the people who were lost are all back, everyone is still there now, cherish the present, we have to look forward~"

"Everybody's still there... But—"

Shadow turned her head and looked in the direction where the soldier's remnant had disappeared.

"That's right."

"That soldier, he faced many "losses", but still chose to fight for "forward"."

"The victims of that era, the future they desperately wanted to pursue..."

"The landscape that exists in their hearts may not be the eternal I had hoped."

.....

"This is human~"

Paimon chimed in.

"Hmm."

Shadow nodded, "As the god of Inazuma, it's time for me to respond to their expectations."

Let's talk about it.

And she looked at it

The light goes into the distance.

There, it's the barren sea.

It is also one of the main battlefields where the soldiers of Inazuma once shed their blood and resisted monsters.

I saw the shadow looking at the scarlet cherry tree in the barren sea, and said with a firm gaze:

"The glorious souls of the warriors who once shed their blood here have merged into this land."

"I will not forget your efforts."

"Shadow's appearance... It's heavy..."

Paimon's eyes looked worried.

Shadow turned around at the right time, looked at the crowd, and urged, "Let's go, we have to go to the next location to continue the investigation of the damage to the sacred cherry tree."

.....

Soon.

Everyone followed the clue and came all the way to the huge cherry blossom tree in the wild sea.

This was one of the main stations of the year, and it was also the main root system of the sacred cherry tree.

"Sure enough! There are a lot of beast hounds here, too!"

Paimon caught a glimpse of the army of beast hounds roaming the crimson cherry trees.

Shadow takes the lead.

Without waiting for others to make a move, he took the lead in attacking dozens of beast realm hounds.

Yue Yang didn't pay attention to it originally.

After all, even if the shadow is only a mortal body, but he has the origin of the demon god, isn't it just a matter of fighting dozens of beast realm hounds?

Indeed, as Yue Yang expected, Ying was also able to deal with this group of monsters.

Because in Yue Yang's opinion, her condition didn't seem quite right.

Although he defeated the army of beast hounds, it also took some time, and it often took two or three knives to kill one.

After the last beast hound died under the knife.

I saw the shadow panting lightly, and covering his forehead, as if he was in pain.

"Shadow's appearance... Something is wrong..."

Paimon also senses Shadow's anomaly.

Yue Yang stepped forward and said with concern, "Shadow, what's wrong with you?"

"Why do you ask?"

Shadow's gaze was clearly a little evasive.

"Your power... It's a lot back."

Yue Yang frowned.

Paimon on the side also quickly chimed in:

"That's right, that's right~"

"Generally speaking, you will draw the knife cleanly~"

"Then smash them all in one fell swoop~"
