The Homeless Man of Teyvat

The seventh and final high priest of the Kingdom of the Holy Spirit.

Due to some accident, he and his own gods devoured the giant eagle-like god known as the God of Life. He always looked old, but always lived strong. In this way, he accompanied the gods for more than 2,900 years, until the world was destroyed.

"Stubborn old guy..."

Chen Tianfeng looked at the old man with a gentle smile in the light and shadow, and suddenly became angry: "If I let you go, you won't leave! I'll forget it if the Holy Spirit is gone. Without you, who will lead them to live!"

"Do you know how much effort I put in and how much I suffered to open the passage!"

"What are you doing here, old guy?"

"If you stay... I will think about how to resurrect you and how to resurrect the world. Do you know how big, troublesome, and dangerous this job is!"

He kept cursing, even worried that the high priest wouldn't understand, so he deliberately switched to the common language of the Holy Spirit to curse.

While cursing, I couldn't help but think of the words that the high priest said most often: "I am old and of no use. All I can do is fight for opportunities for young people so that they can live a better life."

Chen Tianfeng's eyes turned red and he glared at the high priest fiercely. Finally, he sat down against the wall of the corridor and buried his head in his arms, his shoulders shaking slightly.

At the moment when the world was about to be destroyed, the old man leaned on his snake staff and looked up at the gradually shattering sun in the sky, watching it turn into meteors lingering in gray flames and full of the aura of death, bombarding them with ferocious malice. The earth vows to exterminate all life.

But he smiled, opened his arms, and welcomed death calmly.

He has completed the task assigned to him by the gods and sent away all the 1,735,435,712 people of the Kingdom of the Holy Spirit. And now, he was going to accompany his god.

In the broken sun and falling meteors, the old man finally felt the breath of the gods, so he smiled and died gently with the gods and the world.

It would be too lonely to let the gods fall into death alone... His gods are most afraid of loneliness.

"You're a stubborn old guy..."

Chen Tianfeng cursed in a low voice, gritting his teeth and refusing to cry out, making this old guy laugh.

a long time,

He finally stood up, looked at the high priest, took a deep breath, and tried to smile: "Don't worry, your god is alive and well, and you have new friends..."

He opened his mouth, wanting to promise something, but he felt that verbal promises were too easy, so he didn't say anything. He just looked at him for a few seconds, then resolutely turned around and left, walking deeper into the corridor.

The further you go, the closer you are to the moment of the initial arrival in Teyvat.

Chen Tianfeng stopped and looked at another familiar figure in the light and shadow.

That stupid boy who only knew how to mutter a few repetitive words back and forth.

"Yuan Mu..."

Chen Tianfeng stretched out his hand, grabbed Yuan Mu's light and shadow, and condensed it into a light blue crystal with an orange-red or orange-red color on the top.

He was about to leave, but suddenly stopped, thought for a moment, stretched out his hand and grabbed it from the wall of the corridor, and condensed a few pure white crystal stones. Then he nodded with satisfaction, took a step forward, and left this witness. The corridor of death.

…

Liyue Port,

Zhongli picked up the tea cup, first smelled the tea aroma, which was fresh and elegant, and then took a sip, which was refreshing.

He put down the tea cup and seemed to be in a daze, or watching a wonderful drama somewhere, with a smile on his lips.

If anyone looked into his eyes at this moment, they would find that what was reflected in his deep golden eyes was definitely not the scene in front of him.

"Mr. Zhongli! Please help us!"

"!"

Zhongli's expression froze slightly, and he turned his gaze to see Chen Tianfeng, whose form was still illusive. He blinked, and the scene of negotiations in front of someone's grave disappeared from his golden eyes. He pretended to be confused and asked: "My little friend is only one step away from resurrection, why should we stop now?"

"The situation is complicated and cannot be explained in a few words."

Chen Tianfeng looked serious and handed over to Zhongli: "But these are 'little things'. I can just deal with them myself. I am looking for Mr. Zhongli because I have other important matters that I want to ask Mr. Zhongli for help."

"oh?"

Zhongli looked surprised. He originally thought that Chen Tianfeng came here in a hurry to ask him to help solve the [grave crisis], but now it seems that is not the case. He actually plans to face it by himself... What a commendable courage.

"My friend, please tell me."

"I want to do something in the name of [Rock God Miracle]."

"...What do you want to do, little friend?"

Zhongli remained calm on the surface, but in his heart he thought of the bastard Fengshen who forged his signature in Mondstadt a thousand years ago.

"I want to resurrect someone."

Chen Tianfeng stretched out his hand, palm down, and several crystal stones fell on the table, making a crisp "snap" sound.

Most of the crystals are pure white, with only one light blue with orange-red or orange-red color.

"This is……"

Zhongli looked moved. He picked up a pure white crystal and examined it carefully. After a long time, he put it down, looked at Chen Tianfeng, and exclaimed: "My little friend is really good at what he does."

The functions of these crystals are not complicated, there are only two: recording death, and reversing death.

What is recorded can be a piece of grass, a fish, a bird... or a person. As long as their deaths are recorded accurately, unmistakably and clearly, no matter how long the fish, bird or human has been dead, they can be resurrected with the help of the crystal that records their death.

With this crystal, death is no longer irreversible. The only difficulty is how to record it accurately, unmistakably and clearly.

Zhongli lowered his eyes. After seeing the crystal, the first thing he thought of was the World Tree. The World Tree records everything that happens in Teyvat. If the death information can be retrieved from the World Tree and recorded with crystals... Unfortunately, the crystals are not powerful enough and can only resurrect mortals.

"This is a derivative of my resurrection." Chen Tianfeng said with a sincere expression: "I have a hunch that this thing will still appear when my soul is resurrected. By then, it will not only resurrect mortals."

Zhongli's breathing paused for a moment, and his golden eyes glanced at Chen Tianfeng with a deep look: "...What do you want me to do, little friend?"

"I would like to ask Mr. Zhongli to revive him as reasonably as possible."

Chen Tianfeng took out the crystal that recorded Yuan Mu's death and put it aside. Then he pointed at the remaining eight pure white crystals and said in a sincere tone: "As for these, I would like to ask Mr. Zhongli to handle them for me. This thing can reverse life and death. I am worried that I will interfere with the boundary between life and death on impulse."

He paused and said, "But I don't feel safe leaving them with others. After much deliberation, Mr. Zhongli is the most suitable person to handle them - whether they are used by whom or destroyed directly, it all depends on Mr. Zhongli."

"Have you thought about it, little friend?"

"I believe Mr. Zhongli."

"..."

Zhong Li looked into his eyes, was silent for a long time, and then suddenly smiled, with helplessness in his smile: "My little friend, you can trust me a little more... That's all, I promise, little friend."

It is impossible that there are only these few crystals, and there is a high chance that they are not produced at one time. Chen Tianfeng must have lied.

However, even the devil will be tempted by the matter of reversing life and death, so it is right to be careful.

"this……"

Chen Tianfeng rolled his eyes and smiled awkwardly: "I don't mean to distrust Mr. Zhongli. There is also a World Tree in Teyvat that records everything. It's that I'm worried about."

"Well, I believe it, little friend."

Zhongli glanced at him, thought for a moment, and said solemnly: "I can make a promise that as long as I have no intention or plan to destroy Liyue and Teyvat, Morax and Liyue will be my forever allies. "

"Thank you, Mr. Zhongli! Please rest assured, Mr. Zhongli, I will never have that kind of intention or plan!"
