Genshin Impact: I, the first water follower, makes players excited

Chapter 289 Pessimistic Speculations

......

"Tree King, your question is so unnecessary. Ying and Kong are both from other worlds. Isn't it normal that they don't have a fate on Teyvat?"

"The plot has a lot of foreshadowing, I don't want to waste my brain cells, I'll go to the forum to find the answer later."

"I still find it strange. Since fate is fixed, wouldn't our protagonist's participation in their story have an impact on their fate?"

"Good question, but this is a live broadcast room. How many people come here with brains?"

"That's right, my brain is full of Naizi now!"

......

With a gentle push from the Tree King, Ying returned to her own body. The gods had already left, and the banquet was coming to an end.

Until the end of the party, Hines never heard anyone else mention what happened that night, which made him relax completely.

Ginis: Family, we finally made it!

The only thing that made Xines curious was why Seno was so quiet. Where were his jokes?

But, never mind, it’s nice to be warm!

"Hines, I have a question for you."

After saying goodbye to everyone one by one, Ying took Paimon to find Xines and Egolia.

"Ask, we'll answer you as long as we know the answer. Of course, if it involves Fontaine, I probably won't say anything."

Hines shrugged, saying he was willing to help, but that he could only do so in limited ways. Egolia smiled and nodded, indicating that she had no reservations.

Ying brought a few people to an observation deck outside the Grand Bazaar. Since it was late, there were almost no people here.

"What I want to ask is, under what circumstances can a person's fate be seen clearly?"

That’s right, there is strength in numbers. Ying doesn’t think there is any need to keep the questions left by the Great Compassionate Tree King a secret.

And she remembered that Hines had a rather intense reaction to the word destiny, so maybe she could get some information from him.

Facts have proved that Ying's choice was correct. Not to mention Hines, even Egolia, who has retired for many years, can provide her with some useful information.

(PS: What is retreating is the biosphere)

Since both Sines and Egolia knew that Ying was an Adventer and not a native of Teyvat, they had no intention of keeping it a secret.

Briefly introduced the matter of fate to Ying,

"...Finally, regarding your question..."

As Xines was talking, he suddenly felt a flash of inspiration, as if he knew the answer to Ying's question.

"Of course, my idea might be wrong. What you're asking is, under what circumstances can a person's fate be seen clearly?"

Hines looked at the countless stars in the sky and spoke slowly.

"If life is a journey, then standing at the starting point, you naturally cannot see the future clearly, nor do you know what you will encounter in the future. But if..."

Hines retracted his gaze and took a long breath.

"...What if, instead of being at the starting point, you were standing at the end from the very beginning?"

Standing at the end at the beginning...

Ying roughly understood what Hines wanted to express, that is, the so-called predetermined destiny is likely to be a scene observed by someone in the future, and then these fragmented scenes are pieced together to form a person's destiny.

But isn't this a bit too much? Putting aside how to 'stand at the end', just think about such a huge project as recording the fate of every individual. Is this something a human can do?

Even God can’t do that!

Suddenly, Ying's thoughts spread to the conversation she had just had with the Great Compassionate Tree King. Yes, humans and gods may be unable to accomplish such a great feat, but what about the World Tree?

The world tree that records all history...

Is it possible that it records not only history but also the future?

Egolia was also a little stunned when she heard what Xines said. This was the first time she heard such a statement.

"Standing at the end at the beginning? You mean...time?"

The standard for measuring the past and the future is time, which connects the starting point and the end point, and only time can do that.

Coincidentally, one of the four rulers controls time, and it seems that this feat can indeed be accomplished with the help of his power.

But what’s the point?

Recording the future of the entire Teyvat would probably sacrifice most or even all of the power of the ruler, but what benefits could be gained?

A stable Teyvat?

Egolia laughed at her own thoughts. The gap between income and expenditure was serious, and this was a decision that no one could make.

Moreover, if that ruler still exists, with his power, who can cause trouble in Teyvat?

Hines stopped talking. He quietly looked at Egolia, Ying, and Paimon, who was also thinking about something.

In fact, the time that Egolia mentioned was not what Shines thought.

The answer that just popped into his mind was not as optimistic as traveling through time.

His answer is that at the end of everything, or the finale, the giant tree that records the history of the world will sprout in the silence and shape a new world with memories.

A world that seems to be true but is not, a world that witnesses the end, what future is there to speak of?

Everything is just a reflection floating on the sea. Only by continuing according to the established rituals can this world have the qualification to continue to exist.

Just like a train running on the track, the future and the past are all fixed.

but...

After all, this is just Hine's pessimistic idea.

Hines pinched his brows and threw all these messy thoughts out of his mind.

Really, if it's really as I think, then how do I explain my appearance?

It's impossible that my time travel was also part of the plan?

This is so funny. There is no character called Sines in the original Genshin Impact. I am just a time traveler!

Hines even called up the system panel that he hadn't seen for a long time. Since resurrecting Egolia last time, Hines had almost ignored the system.

With his current strength, he's practically at the pinnacle below the Seven Gods, and doesn't need to rely on popularity to grow stronger. As for the livestreams of those 'interesting' netizens in the parallel world...

Well, I'm too lazy to watch it. After all, it's quite embarrassing to watch others peeping into my life...

But now, the system has become strong evidence for Hines to deny his pessimistic idea.

The rough panel shows Ginez's current popularity: 74.33%

Regarding this, Sines didn't feel anything. It's hard for a character to be liked by everyone, unless...

He gave away 6+5 for free!

Then I guess the whole network will call him godfather. Of course, such an outrageous operation is obviously impossible.

After closing the system panel, Hines had already composed himself. He didn't intend to tell the people in front of him about his random thoughts. He just took the time Egolia spent thinking as his answer.
