This was the case in Liyue at the time.

"Ei, let me tell you, the traveler is so hateful, she has balded all the cherry blossom trees of the Narukami Shrine three times, three times!" Yae Miko complained to the shadow.

"Is the god Sakura okay?" Shadow asked, a little nervously.

"It's fine, it's just that the cherry blossoms are missing, and the trunk is not destroyed." Yae Miko shook his head and said.

Shadow breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good." ”

When Ying was eating at Wanmin Hall, she unexpectedly met Yae Miko and Shadow, and they were whispering about themselves, out of curiosity, Ying walked over and listened.

Yae Miko and Kagei didn't stop the conversation when they saw Ying, but continued to talk.

"But when it comes to the sacred cherry tree, why don't I have any impression at all, if Inazuma had a sacred cherry tree in the first place, why would there be a disaster?" Yae Miko wondered.

"What do you mean by that?" A gleam in his eyes asked.

"Because the sacred cherry tree is very capable of absorbing filth and purifying, the more I think about it, the more unreasonable I feel." Yae Miko said with a frown.

"Because the Divine Sakura Tree suddenly grew after the battle in the five hundred years, and it suddenly grew after the death of Kitsunaya Palace and Zhen." Shadow spoke.

Hearing Ei's words, Yae Miko's eyes widened: "What?!" ”

"Shhh Ying said with a solemn face.

Yae Miko sighed and said, "I see, I said that there is a god Sakura in why the original Inazuma was so difficult, it turned out that it appeared later." ”

"Traveler, please don't tell me about it." Ying said when she saw Ying, who was standing next to her and seemed to have listened for a while.

Ying replied, "Don't worry, I won't say it." ”

"Well, I thought my memory was out of whack at the time, because I was the only one who remembered that the sacred cherry tree suddenly grew overnight, and the rest of Inazuma believed that the sacred cherry tree was there in the first place."

"As Miko said, if there had been a sacred cherry tree in the beginning, then the ending of Inazuma would have been much better, and there would not have been so many sacrifices, so I firmly believe that my memory is correct."

"Ying, hurry up, why did you stand at Eige and Miko's side for so long when you bought things, I'm hungry." Paimon shouted at Ying from his seat.

"It's coming, it's coming." With that, Ying returned to her and Paimon's table with her drink.

Shadow to the mountain, Narukami Taisha.

Several people saw Yae Miko under the sacred cherry tree, and at this time she was standing in front of the sacred cherry tree and praying.

"You're here, how about it, has the matter between Shadow and Raiden Shogun been resolved?" Yae Miko asked.

Paimon replied, "No, Shadow sent us out, I heard her say that she will be fighting Raiden Shogun for a long time, so I will ask you to take care of Inazuma next." ”

Yae Miko: "."

"What the hell is going on?" Yae Miko wondered.

Paimon told Yae Miko about what happened.

"It's hard to do it like this, Ying is still this kind of character, and it hasn't changed all along." Saying this, Yae Miko sighed.

"So, Miko, you should think of a way." Paimon said anxiously.

"Isn't the guy next to me better than me, though? What did you come to me for? Yae Miko wondered.

Paimon explained, "She doesn't care about this, saying that it's Shadow and Raiden Shogun's business, and she can't interfere." ”

"Also, what is the real consciousness space, I feel weird there, and there are a lot of cherry blossoms falling."

Yae Miko replied, "True consciousness space, I only know that it is the foundation of the sacred cherry tree, and I have heard that it is somewhat different from the Ei's Pure Land. ”

"Is it because Raiden is really gone?" Paimon wondered.

"It's not all like that, the nature of the space is also different, and those of you who have visited it yourself should have a better understanding than what I'm talking about here, right?"

After listening to Yae Miko's words, Ying said, "I didn't pay attention. ”

"But if you really say that the consciousness space is the foundation of the divine cherry tree, then all of this is connected." Ying rubbed her chin and analyzed.

"That's it, but I still have to ask, why do you think I have a solution?" Yae Miko replied.

Ying replied, "Intuition." ”

"Alright, then I'll send you over again, come with me." Yae Miko said.

Paimon wondered, "Why did you send us back?" ”

Yae Miko spread his hands and said, "Aren't you here for this?" Plus if she doesn't make a move, that's all I can do, you go over and talk to them." ”

"You have a point." Paimon scratched his head and replied.

So, the group went back to the cave again.

"But how are you going to get us here?" Paimon asked Yae Miko.

"There is always a way, although it is a little cunning." Yae Miko replied, "The space of consciousness is very abstract for other people, but fortunately, I am a dependant of Shadow, and I can sense her location to some extent. ”

"In other words, I can't pinpoint the exact location of that place in space, but I can get you to Ei."

Listening to Yae Miko's words, Paimon scratched his head and wondered, "Abstract...?" Location? What follows what..."

Yae Miko explained, "You don't have to understand. To put it simply, everything around her is chaotic right now. ”

"Turbulent and disorderly... If you force your way in, you may be swept away by the waves and completely lost in time and space. ”

Hearing Yae Miko's words, he seemed to think of something and muttered, "Time, space." ”

Yae Miko listened to Ying's words, thought of something, and continued to her, "Because of this, it is safer to dwell your consciousness on objects when you enter the Pure Land of One Heart. ”

"Huh? Then I won't go, you can go! Paimon hurriedly said.

"No, you have to go, if you don't go, I'll throw you over then." Tassel spoke.

Paimon: "."

"Why, if you can feel where your destination is, why didn't you send us there before?" Paimon wondered.

Tassel explained, "Because I'm sending you over too steadily, it's not what I wanted." ”

"Stability is what we want!" Paimon hurriedly said to Tassel, "So, Tassel should send us over." ”

Tassel shook his head: "No, you'll find out later." ”

Paimon clasped his arms in his hands and said angrily, "Why? If you don't make it clear, I won't go, you can go yourself. ”

Seeing Paimon's appearance at this time, Tassel smiled and said, "Paimon, I left him and you go by yourself, you can choose one." ”

"You, you hate it! I'll just go."

Yae Miko changed his worried look and said with a smile, "Since I have made up my mind, then I will send you on your way." ”

"Eat and drink well, go all the way."

Hearing Ying's words, Paimon couldn't help but complain, "Ying, don't say Hu Tao's words at this time, how unlucky!" ”

While the two were talking. Yae Miko stretched out his hand to the torii, and the door of space appeared in front of her eyes again.

Yae Miko: "."

Looking at Yae Miko, who was frowning, Paimon wondered, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, it feels very disordered, and it confirms the judgment in my heart." Yae Miko replied lightly.

"By the way, when you enter the space, you must keep repeating your own wishes, only a strong consciousness to a certain point will not be swallowed up by the huge waves in the abstract space, you are strong enough, I can send you to the most suitable position."

Although Ying was a little confused, she still said, "I know." ”

"Well, the door is open, please come in." Yae Miko said, "I'll stay outside and be your last line of insurance. ”

"Son of God, are you reliable? Otherwise, let's let the tassels come, right? Listening to Yae Miko's words, Paimon said with some concern.

Ying glanced at Paimon and said, "Tassel must have her own meaning to do this, so don't say it again." ”

"And, we're going to make it."

After saying that, Ying pondered her wishes, and her eyes were firmly ready to step into the portal.

"Wait a minute, take this." The tassel tossed a golden twig at Ying.

Ying took the branch and wondered, "What is this?" ”

Tassel explained: "A positioning tool that can get in touch with you across something, by the way confirming my guess." ”

"I see, Paimon, let's go." Ying greeted Paimon next to him.

Paimon said with some hesitation, "Why don't you think about it again?" The tassels have given you this, which means that this time it must be dangerous. ”

"Thinking about something, I don't think this trip will be dangerous." Ying said.

Paimon wondered, "What do you think of astrology like Mona?" ”

"Intuition!" Ying replied with her head tilted.

Paimon: "."

Paimon enters the portal with a tangled face and a head held high.

After entering the portal, Ying and Paimon found that this time was a little different from the last time they directly reached the real consciousness space, this time they appeared in a tunnel-like place, and there were purple streamers constantly passing around them.

"Ying, why is it a little different this time." Paimon exclaimed.

Ying replied, "This time the space gate is a bit like a tunnel. ”

"Noticed?" Suddenly, the sound of tassels appeared in Ying's mind.

"Tassel?!" Ying shouted in surprise.

"What tassels? She didn't come here either, did she? Paimon wondered.

Tassel said, "You don't need to shout it, you just need to pass what you want to say in your head." ”

"What's going on?" Ying wondered.

"I marked your location, and I found you missing out on my time." Tassel spoke.

"What do you mean by disappearing into your time period?" Ying asked.

Suddenly, the streamer flashed in front of her quickly, and with the sound of space cracking, Ying felt that time was passing quickly between herself and Paimon.

"Meaning. It's clear that you. We, we've crossed, hey, it's annoying, it's really a physically demanding job to talk across time. Ying listened to the sound of the tassel a little intermittently, and her heart was nervous, but after the back became smooth again, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Crossed? Am I going to the past, or am I going to the future? Ying asked.

"I don't know about this, after all, I'm not here." Tassel replied, "Oh, just like Yae Miko said, when you travel through the time tunnel, you have to repeat your wishes, otherwise it will be difficult to be teleported somewhere else, and I can't go over and catch you now." ”

Ying: "Why? According to your ability, you should learn it later, huh? ”

"How can I tell you, because the two of us are different, we have no future and no past, you know?"

"What do you mean?"

"Meaning, the two of us are in sync, how long does it take me to learn something, so how long do you have to stay there before I can come over, understand?"

"I still don't understand." Ying shook her head.

"To put it simply, Teyvat's existence and traces exist in time, and if you cut this line short in the past, then his future will disappear, but we are different, we are a point, only the present, there is no future and past, this point will only become stronger, and the future and present will be the same in the past."

"Your past, your future will not be changed, only your present, so you understand? This is also what makes the Adventists special. ”

"When you say that, I kind of understand, I'll try to get stronger." Ying replied seriously.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, you can deal with your affairs first, don't be distracted and teleported somewhere else."

Listening to Tassel's words, Ying slowly closed her eyes and began to think about her wishes repeatedly.

As Ying's wish appeared, countless images of broken mirrors continued to slash around her, with the most images of Paimon and tassels appearing in it, as well as a small number of starry sky universe pictures.

"Huh?" Paimon looked at Ying with a puzzled look on his face, and his small body couldn't help but get closer to Ying.

Suddenly, a bright light came, and Ying and Paimon's figures reappeared in the real consciousness space, but Ying already knew from Tassel that she was not in the previous time, and understood why Tassel did this.

Shadow looked at Ying and Paimon as they appeared.

Looking at Ei, who was slightly embarrassed compared to the calm Raiden Shogun on the other side, Paimon asked worriedly, "Ei, are you okay?" ”

"Why?" Shadow wondered, "You guys. How can you come here again? And you still look the same as you did back then."

"Back then? What do you mean," Paimon wondered.

"This duel is very nostalgic, but Ying, your strength is still a little worse after all." Raiden Shogun said to Ei with a sword in hand.

"Ahem."

Hearing Raiden Shogun's words, Shadow's expression was a little uncomfortable, obviously the effect of the two people using the thunder element is about the same, but the other party can grow grass, and this fight is not fair at all.

"In countless battles, you have not lost a single battle, and you have not hesitated at all, even if I have shown all the eternal enemies before you, you have never wavered."

"You deserve admiration for such a firm enforcement of the rules." Shadow replied as well.

"Now you are worthy of the name of eternity, and they are back in this space again, just like the inevitability of fate." Raiden Shogun said.

Shadow seemed to think of something, and said to the Raiden Shogun in front of him, "The inevitability of fate? Is that why you stopped suddenly? ”

"No, no, no, this is just part of the plan, let's end this five-hundred-year duel with the final battle." Raiden Shogun shook his head at Ei and said.

"Plans? What is the plan? Shadow asked, surprised.

"Beat me, I'll tell you again." Raiden Shogun spoke, and at the same time, a stronger momentum erupted from his body than before.

Seeing this, Ying hurriedly said to Ying next to him, "Stand back, traveler." ”

"Are you finally going to put an end to this?" Ying said.

"Did you find out? Five hundred years later. The sound of the tassel came again.

Ying asked in surprise, "Tassel, you expected it a long time ago?" ”

"Yes and no, but I've been interfered with by the Reign of Time, Istaru, and I've been thinking about ways to get in touch with you for a long time, and I'm really tired."

"You said a long time, but three minutes?" The corners of his eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but complain.

The time of the tassel is not long and the time is very long, which cannot be inferred by common sense, the time is not long refers to hundreds of years, and the time is long refers to a few minutes.

"Huh? Is it? I remember a long time later, don't care about these details. ”

Ying: "."

"So, what's the reason Paimon and I came here? How do I feel like I'm useless? Ying wondered.

Tassel opened his mouth and explained: "You are an agent of the event, as long as you are there, the event will continue, otherwise they will keep fighting." ”

"Does that mean I'm just a tool?" Ying complained.

"Well, it's not wrong for you to think about it, but this matter really can't be done without you."

Ying asked, "So what can I do?" ”

"Wait, wait until they're done." Tassel replied.

"And who do you think will win?"

Tassel replied directly: "Of course it's Raiden Shogun, unless she releases water, otherwise how can Shadow beat Raiden Shogun's intensified version." ”

Ying: "."

While Ying and Tassel were communicating, the events on the field also began to evolve.

Shadow raised the long knife in his hand and said, "I will be the next starter." ”

"The duel takes enough time to see kingdoms rise and fall; The energy consumed in the duel is enough to dump the sea and destroy the sky; The will sought in the duel is enough to unite the mind and turn the dream upside down, and you still exist. ”

Listening to Raiden Shogun's words, Paimon's expression became strange again, could this be reading the lines again.

Because of Raiden Shogun's fierce attack, Shadow can only constantly parry and dodge, and he has no power to fight back at all, especially the green long sword in Raiden Shogun's hand is an existence that Shadow is a little afraid of.

The most important thing is that Raiden Shogun is fighting more and more fiercely, if the previous time, Raiden Shogun is on the defensive, the other party has learned to counterattack in the middle time, and then the opponent's move speed is not much different from his own, and with the passage of time, the opponent's combat ability is still increasing.

"Is it true that my past cannot be defeated?" Shadow gritted his teeth and looked at the Raiden Shogun who had drawn the knife and said.

"No, my wish cannot end again." With that, Shadow's gaze became firm again.

At this time, Shadow's eyes emitted a strong light, and the thoughtless sword was once again unleashed by her with all her might.

"Daoguang is also eternal!"

And then

"You, why?" Kage looked at Raiden Shogun, who was suddenly slashed by her dream and flew out upside down, and wondered.

Raiden Shogun stood up expressionlessly, patted the non-existent ash on his body, and said, "You are very strong, I am defeated, that's all." ”

Can you still play a little more fake? The previous dream was bent on you as if nothing had happened, but this time you flew straight upside down, still standing up fine, and saying that you were defeated.

"You haven't lost yet, I can feel that you still have a lot of power left." Shadow shook her head.

"However, I don't want to fight with you in this space, five hundred years, long enough." Raiden Shogun shook his head in the same way.

Puzzled, he asked, "Why?" ”

"I've already felt your determination, so there's no need to go any further, I'm defeated." Raiden Shogun put away the weapon in his hand and sighed, "But, Shadow, it's been a thousand years since I parted with me, right?" ”

Shadow: "??? ”

At this time, Kage listened to Raiden Shogun's words, and the hand holding Dream Yixin in his right hand trembled violently, and a pair of purple eyes looked at each other in disbelief.
