Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 185 Returning the sun

"Where did you get this from?" Hu Xiaotao asked in surprise as she looked at the scroll.

"This is a family heirloom. I wonder if it can save my friend's life?" Juechen asked with a smile.

Hu Xiaotao looked at the scroll and fell into deep thought. It could be seen that she was full of contradictions at the moment, which made everyone curious.

"What on earth is that scroll? We've been praying for so long, but not even a piece of paper is useful?" Karen muttered softly.

Mo Yan was silent. He was the only outsider present who knew the truth of the matter, because Athenus once said that if Hu Xiaotao wanted to change her attitude and agree to leave, only the "Ghost Lord" who was with "Order" could come forward. But now, she fell into deep thought because of Juechen's scroll, thinking about the connection between the two, could it be?

At this time, Hu Xiaotao sighed angrily: "Well, alright, alright, since you insist so much, then I will reluctantly agree to your request. However, you must find a substitute to replace you according to the rules of the mortal world."

She looked at Mo Yan, and at this moment Juechen nodded and responded: "No problem, leave this to me."

He turned around and walked towards Mo Yan. "That's it. Once Miss Hu Tao finishes revising the account book, you can all go back."

"Yes...really? Thank you." Karen nodded in surprise.

You agree now? Then why did we go to all that trouble to come here?

The situation changed so quickly that it was difficult for Karin and the other two to adapt to the situation.

Hu Xiaotao sat on the throne, writing and drawing with a brush. After a while, she closed the scroll and said, "Okay, now everyone is satisfied, right? If you are satisfied, then hurry back!"

She put the scroll aside, shaking her head with a look of happiness written all over her face.

At this moment, Mo Yan and the others looked at each other, then nodded and left the hall one after another. Only Yaohui stood aside and hesitated for a long time, never taking a step out.

"Huh? What's the matter? Does Lord Yaohui have something else to say?" Hu Xiaotao asked Yaohui with her arms folded.

Yaohui hesitated for a moment, then turned around and nodded: "Yes, there is something I want to trouble Miss Walnut with."

"Ha... I knew it." Walnut shook his head and sighed angrily. "Well, for the sake of this guest, as long as it's not too excessive, this king can agree to it."

"Well, actually I want to retrieve the life and death records of Ta'an Village in the early years of the Holy Lord a thousand years ago." Yaohui said.

"Ta'an Village? Isn't that the current Black Territory?" Hu Tao lowered her head in thought, "But since it's the early years of the Saint Venerable... Wait, could it be that..."

At this moment, Hu Tao once again showed an embarrassed expression. Seeing this, Yao Hui immediately explained: "Oh, don't get me wrong, I just wanted to see how she is now, nothing else."

"Is that really the case?" Walnut asked again. Seeing the other party's persistence, she had no choice but to agree. "Well, okay, I'll help you find it then."

Kurumi sighed, then turned around and brought out a pile of old scrolls in the blink of an eye. "By the way, what's your friend's name?"

"exquisite."

"Linglong, right? That's a rather unique name. There have been quite a few people with the same name in recent years, but a thousand years ago, in Ta'an Village... ah, I found it!"

Hu Tao searched for a while, and luckily, she found the scroll with Linglong written on it in the second box after just a few flips.

"Really? How is she now?" Yaohui asked excitedly.

"Don't worry, don't worry. If you want to know where your friend is now, you have to read it carefully." Walnut said this and then opened the scroll. However, at this moment, she showed a look of astonishment again, "Wait, what's going on?"

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Yaohui asked with a frown.

Hu Tao nodded, then looked at Yao Hui and said, "Your friend's scroll is indeed here, but there is no record of her on it at all."

"What?" Yaohui was shocked.

He quickly stepped forward, picked up the scroll, and began to read it, but apart from the name on the scroll, the writing inside had disappeared for some reason, leaving only empty blank pages.

Yaohui felt uneasy, but he soon calmed down.

"What's going on?" Yaohui asked Hu Tao anxiously.

Walnut shook her head, looking down in thought. "This is the first time I've encountered something like this. Generally speaking, everyone's soul records should be preserved intact. These archives and this scroll were created in the same year, so there shouldn't be any fading. But I can't find any relevant information about your friend here."

At this time, Juechen, who was standing nearby, came out and said, "Is it possible that your friend is not dead at all?"

"Ah?" Yaohui was stunned. Although he was willing to think so, he had witnessed Linglong's death with his own eyes.

"Perhaps I should put it another way. Although your friend has passed away, is it possible that he has gone to another place?" Juechen said, "Well... I heard from a friend of mine that some souls that passed away in Teyvat are appreciated by the gods and their souls are transferred to another world. Perhaps this is the case with your friend."

"That means Linglong might still be alive?" Yaohui asked in surprise.

Juechen nodded. "You could say that. The Book of Life and Death here only records the lives of those who have passed away in Teyvat. Your friend's record has disappeared, which clearly means she's beyond their jurisdiction. However, a thousand years have passed. Even if your friend's soul has traveled to another dimension, there's no guarantee she's still alive."

"Really?" Yaohui lowered his head in disappointment, "But thank you very much anyway."

Hu Tao put his hands on his hips and looked at Jue Chen beside him with a smile. "It's okay. Didn't I say that I would help you this time for this guy's sake? Now that the matter is settled, don't you think it's time to go back?"

"Well, I'll take my leave then." With that, Yaohui turned around and left the Hall of Yama.

"Goodbye." Watching the other person's departing figure, Hu Tao stood there and said thoughtfully, "Putting this aside, should I also find an opportunity to go to the mortal realm..."

"That would scare people." Juechen smiled helplessly.

……

In the mortal world, in the guest room of the hot spring hotel, Luo Hao, Tian Lang and Li Xueqi were waiting quietly beside Mo Yan. Suddenly, Mo Yan coughed violently, and then began to gasp for breath rapidly. This scared everyone, but they were more filled with joy.

"Mo Yan is awake!" Tianlang said excitedly.

Li Xueqi nodded: "Well, it seems that Yaohui and the others succeeded."

Mo Yan slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was tears of joy.

"Tianlang, there should be... Haiqi Xiaoge, remember to be on standby..." He spoke intermittently in unclear language.

Li Xueqi smiled and nodded: "Yes, we are all here. You have just come back to life, and your body is still a little stiff, but it's okay, just rest for a while."

"Yeah, sometimes." Mo Yan smiled while lying on the bed.

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened, and the first person to rush into the room was Kailin. After learning that Mo Yan had returned, she excitedly threw herself into his arms.
