Genshin Impact: While strolling around Teyvat, I was driven mad by a player.

"It's difficult to extract their memories from the earth's veins."

"But as creatures living in Teyvat, their memories are constantly being stripped away by the ley lines, as if they are being worn down."

"The death of immortal beings is unpredictable, so the ley lines will slowly extract the memories and emotions of immortal beings, which is called wear and tear."

"This process is slow and cruel for immortal beings."

Qiu Nian turned around, looked at Ying and Paimon in front of her, and continued to explain.

"The memory of rocks is not very long; only extremely strong emotions can be preserved within them."

"And this is the wear and tear that belongs to Ruoda."

"As a creation of the rock element, Rota is naturally unable to retain memories."

"And the strong emotions that can be retained must be obsessive."

"The stronger the intensity, the more obsessive it becomes."

"And the easier it is to go against one's true nature."

“The source of Ruoduo’s wear and tear is not only the laws of nature, but also the world itself.”

Qiu Nian looked at Ying and Paimon in front of her and slowly began to explain.

Wear and tear is an emotional change.

Or rather, it is a kind of depletion of the soul, reason, memory, and spirit.

This kind of wear and tear comes from experience.

It can be caused by different events.

Even if Qiu Nian could stop the wear and tear inflicted on Ruo Tuo by the laws of nature.

However, it cannot eliminate the wear and tear that already exists within it.

In other words, even if we disregard the wear and tear imposed by the laws of nature, beings that live too long...

It will also be worn down due to its own defects.

Just like Morax and Barbatos.

Although the 20th of autumn stopped the wear and tear that "heavenly principles" were putting on them.

But it cannot stop their own wear and tear.

The wear and tear on the Naga King is a combination of these two types of wear and tear.

His inherent defects played a part in the process of his being worn down.

The wear and tear inflicted by the laws of nature also accounts for a portion of this.

It can be said that even without divine justice, Ruoduo would still be worn down by his own actions.

However, this process will take a relatively long time.

"That sounds terrifying..."

Paimon, though he didn't quite understand what Paimon was saying, still found it terrifying.

"Wear and tear..."

"I am also an immortal being, will I also experience wear and tear?"

Ying looked at Qiu Nian in front of her and asked with a complicated expression.

"Naturally, although your physique is special, it will not be subject to the wear and tear of the natural order."

"But you cannot escape the wear and tear of your own body, unless you have no emotions or memories to begin with."

"Obviously, that's impossible."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian explained to Ying in front of him.

"I think I understand what you mean."

Upon hearing this explanation, Ying placed one hand flat on her chest and nodded to Qiu Nian.

"Aba aba, what does that mean?"

"Yingmei, don't take my word for it."

Upon hearing Qiu Nian's explanation, Xuehua's mouth watered.

【I didn't understand either (covers face)】

This means that in addition to the wear and tear imposed by natural laws, there is also the wear and tear inherent in the world itself, or its own inherent wear and tear.

I think I understood, but then again, I don't.

[Isn't Yingmei from outside this world? Could she also be worn down by the world itself?]

[Upstairs, didn't you understand? Even I understood it (facepalm)]

The meaning of "this world itself" can be understood as "yourself." It means that although you are not subject to the erosion of natural law, as long as you have emotions and memories, you will be worn down.

To put it more clearly, while Yingmei's memories and emotions won't be absorbed by the ley lines, she will still be worn down by her own actions.

That's the meaning.

【Aba aba aba (drooling)】

[Even I understood it, and you still didn't? (Angry)]

This kid is hopeless (covers face)

Gui Xu is right.

"exactly."

After listening to Gui Xu's explanation, Kun Jun nodded in agreement.

"Wear and tear robbed Ruotuo Dragon King of his thoughts, making him gradually unable to recall the appearance of his old friends and the Liyue Port that he once personally guarded."

"The once-perfect Dragon King has become irritable and aggressive..."

Kunjun looked at Ying and Paimon in front of him and began to explain.

"It was humans who attacked the ley lines on which I depend for survival!"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King Ruoduo retorted to Kunjun.

"That is true, which is why you attacked the Layered Rock Abyss."

"That led to the great battle against Morax."

"Initially, in order to expand their territory and develop production, the people of Liyue went into the mountains to mine."

"Overexploitation has caused earthquakes, making us suffer terribly."

"Wear and tear make us like wild animals."

"No matter how hard we struggle, we continue to lose the ability to live with others... and lose our rationality."

Kunjun turned his head and spoke to the sealed Ruotu Dragon King.

"Morax diverted his own strength to stop us from wearing down further, but it was all in vain."

"Wearing and tearing are natural phenomena, beyond the reach of human power."

"That's why we became you."

“From your will, I was differentiated.”

Kunjun looked at the sealed Ruotu Dragon King and continued speaking.

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King Ruoduo wanted to refute something, but he was completely unable to refute Kunjun.

"I am your final covenant, witnessing the agreement between King Ratna and Morax."

"You can be angry, but you should never deny me."

Kunjun looked at the sealed Ruotu Dragon King and placed one hand flat on his chest as he spoke.

"no no..."

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King Ruoduo shook his head.

Chapter 131 Heaven and Earth Move, Mountains and Seas Take Shape

“I am the remnant of the benevolent nature of the Dragon King of Naga, representing the will of the covenant and a lofty heart.”

"And the peaceful desire to coexist with humanity."

Kunjun looked at the sealed Ruotu Dragon King and began to speak.

"I am the Dragon King of Ruotu, a creation of elemental crystals, bearing the power and memories of the earth, living as long as the mountains and seas, and am by no means an ally of ants!"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King Ruoduo loudly retorted to Kunjun.

"Morax is no ant."

Upon hearing this, Kunjun replied in a calm tone.

"The God of ants is nothing but an ant!"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King Ruoduo continued to refute.

[Hahaha, they didn't even refute the claim that humans are ants, they immediately stated that Morax is not an ant, such a quick reaction!]

[It seems Kunjun pointed it out directly, while Ruotu Dragon King was just being stubborn and arrogant.]

[Emperor's Fans and Twisted Emperor's Fans Compete on the Same Stage]

[No, is the Emperor's personal charisma really that great? Gui Xu too, Ruo Tuo too.]

[The son-in-law: Now, only I can talk to him.]

The Emperor seems to always be somewhat melancholic.

Of course it's sad. Even the son-in-law looked quite sad, after all, they're all old friends.

"It's because you've forgotten too completely."

"The person who most approves of Morax is you, and also me."
