Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Chapter 342: Return to the End and A Ping

Su Xun was also slightly startled. He looked at Ying and his expression became serious: "Ying, don't be anxious. Tell me what's going on slowly."

Ying took a deep breath and recounted their experiences in the valley in detail, including encountering the mysterious magic circle, being drawn into the small space, discovering the ruins, and communicating with the Demon God of Dust, Hagentus.

After listening to Ying's narration, a complex look flashed across Grandma Ping's eyes. She was happy to know that her old friend was still alive, but also worried about her current situation.

"I didn't expect that after her death... there was still a trace of her soul left." Grandma Ping's eyes were slightly red.

Su Xun knew the relationship between his master and the Demon God of Dust. He gently held Grandma Ping's hand and comforted her, "Master, don't be too sad. Now that we know about this, there must be a way to help Senior God of Dust. Let's go see her first, and maybe we can find a way to maintain her remaining soul."

Grandma Ping nodded, looked at Ying and asked, "Xiaoying, how is Guizhong doing now?"

Ying explained Hagentus' current condition.

Su Xun frowned, "Then we have to go there as soon as possible and not waste time."

So everyone did not delay any longer and, led by Ying, quickly arrived at Guiliyuan.

"Oh no, I forgot to leave a pocket anchor point in that space. Even if the Goddess of Dust knows we are coming, in her state she cannot establish contact with the outside world to let us in. What should we do?" Ying thought of a problem and suddenly felt distressed.

"Don't worry, it's just a small space created by the art of exterior sceneries. This magic is not as well mastered as mine. I can find it with some time."

As Grandma Ping spoke, she began to make seals with her hands and muttered something.

After a moment, a space crack slowly appeared.

"Let's go." Grandma Ping walked into the crack first, followed by Su Xun and others.

At the other end of the space crack, yellow sand filled the sky and the outline of the ruins was faintly visible in the wind and sand.

As everyone stepped out of the crack, they immediately felt the unique atmosphere of this space.

Grandma Ping looked around with sharp eyes and quickly locked onto the location of the ruins.

In the hall inside the ruins, Hagentus did not seem to feel sad about his impending fate. Instead, with a faint smile, he kept asking Paimon and Yun Ge about the changes and stories in the outside world.

She was full of curiosity about the world today and eager to know more information, and Paimon and Yun Ge patiently told her about it.

At this moment, Hagentus seemed to sense something, his expression froze, and then he looked outside the ruins.

Swah——

A ray of light flashed, and Grandma Ping, Su Xun, Ying and Raiden Mei appeared in the hall.

Hagentus's gaze instantly fell on Grandma Ping, and his eyes were filled with ripples.

Grandma Ping also looked at Hagentus first. When she saw this illusory yet extremely familiar beautiful figure, her lips trembled slightly and her eyes turned red instantly.

"In the end..."

The eyes of the two old friends met in the hall, as if traveling through the long river of time and space, and countless past events and emotions surged at this moment.

Hagentus, or Guizhong, opened his mouth slightly, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end, he only said one sentence: "A Ping, long time no see..."

"It really is you, finally! Good, really good! I just hope you're still alive!"

Grandma Ping was very excited and couldn't help but take a few steps forward, but she stopped out of modesty.

"I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye to you properly. I'm afraid I disappointed you."

There was a hint of guilt in Guizhong's voice, but Grandma Ping kept shaking her head.

"Don't say that. It's fate's blessing that I can see you again." Grandma Ping took a deep breath and tried to calm herself.

Su Xun, Ying and others watched quietly from the side, and were all moved by the scene of reunion.

After reminiscing for a while, Gui Zhong looked at Grandma Ping's old appearance and asked with a complicated expression: "A Ping, why are you..."

"It's just to avoid wear and tear." Feeling Guizhong's gaze, Grandma Ping naturally understood her doubts and said with a chuckle.

Then, a light flashed on Grandma Ping's body, and her appearance began to change, gradually changing from a kind old woman back to her young appearance.

This is a gorgeous woman with long light blue hair as soft as clouds, tied up with a hairpin, flowing with star-like luster.

Her eyes are deep, like the bright moon in the night sky, shining with an intoxicating light.

She was wearing an ink-black strapless long dress, which swayed gently in the wind, like a flowing galaxy.

Everything around her seemed to hold its breath because of her existence. The space was still, the wind was silent, and only her fairy-like figure seemed particularly otherworldly and beautiful.

She didn't need to make any movement, just standing there was already a moving poem and a beautiful painting.

When Gui finally saw that Grandma Ping had regained her youthful appearance, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"That's great, Ping, you look like this, which is how I remember you." Gui Zhong said softly.

Grandma Ping, no, now it should be said that Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun, she just smiled slightly, "After so many years, you are still so good at talking."

"Wow! I didn't expect Grandma Ping was so beautiful when she was young!" Paimeng couldn't help but exclaimed, her eyes widened, obviously shocked by the changes in Grandma Ping.

Yun Ge was also amazed. When she first met Grandma Ping, she was a little confused as to why this immortal looked like an old person. Now that she saw Grandma Ping's youthful appearance restored, she realized that the immortal's demeanor was indeed extraordinary.

Ying and Raiden Mei looked at each other, both with surprise in their eyes.

Grandma Ping has always presented herself as an old lady, but her current appearance has made everyone stare in amazement.

"Haha, why are you looking at me like that?" Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun chuckled, breaking the brief silence.

Su Xun smiled and said, "Master, I almost can't recognize you in this state."

It was also the first time he saw Grandma Ping regain her youthful appearance, and he was so amazed for a moment.

"You are just sweet-talking." Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun rolled his eyes at Su Xun with a smile on his face.

After meeting her old friend again and regaining her youthful appearance, her mentality seemed to become younger and more active.

"Gui Zhong, what's going on with your current condition?" Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun put away his smile and asked seriously.

Gui Zhong shook his head slightly, but there was not much sadness in his eyes: "Back then, those demon gods came together, and I had to prevent the sudden flood from submerging Guiliji while distracting myself to deal with their attacks, and eventually I died of exhaustion.

But at the last moment, I thought I had to leave something for the world, so I used my last remaining power to build this independent space, and at the same time left a wisp of my soul in it, and fell into a deep sleep. Unexpectedly, I would be accidentally awakened by someone in the future."
