I'll Bring the Hero Home

"Naturally, the Lady Guuji has been swallowed by 'darkness' for so long, now it's time for me to bring her out."

"I can say that to Hana Sansei with certainty," said Bai Ye.

"Although I am not Inazuma, as a hero who resisted the Abyss's erosion of the Teyvat five hundred years ago, I would certainly bring her here if possible."

He received so much favoritism, so naturally he also had to shoulder more responsibility.

Heroes like Lady Guuji, who are dedicated to Teyvat, would never give up if he could save it.

Hua Sanshi looked at Bai Ye and bowed deeply.

Lord Lady Guuji was a hero from 500 years ago, and the current Bai Ye is the hero who will save the hero.

Hana Sansho was unable to express his gratitude to Bai Ye.

All she could do was to record all his achievements.

Let Lady Guuji remember, let Lord Thunder God remember, let all those who should remember remember.

This is what she hoped to do before she disappeared.

After the flowers had all fallen and she straightened up, Bai Ye said to her, "Let's go, take us across the river."

"Okay, come with me."

Hana Sansho nodded, then turned and walked out of Konda Village.

Bai Ye and the others quickly caught up.

After passing through Konda Village, they walked a long way. The road was winding, and even Ayaka, a native of Inazuma, had some trouble figuring out where they were.

Finally, Hanasato led everyone to a sealed place.

The seal appears to have been made by Thor, as it bears the markings of her lightning.

"Behind that seal lies the 'Darkness.' Five hundred years ago, the Shogun returned and severed the Darkness. In the end, she used her energy to completely sever this piece from Inazuma, preventing the 'Darkness' from entering Inazuma."

Hua Sanshi said to Bai Ye.

"This area was originally under the surveillance of Yagami Guuji. If anyone came, she would come. Now Bai Ye you have told Yagami Guuji about the situation here, she probably won't come."

Pointing to the seal, Bai Ye asked, "Next, all I have to do is go inside the slug?"

Hua Sanshi nodded.

As they walked, Hu Tao frowned. When she saw the boundary where they were about to reach 'fit', she asked Bai Ye with some anticipation, "Bai Ye, is it really impossible for you to take us into the cave with you? If we could go in, it would be much safer."

Bai Ye shook his head. "I really can't do that right now. I don't even know the source of the Abyss cleansing power within me. So, I can only live alone."

If it were truly possible to protect teammates from the Abyss's influence, then Bai Ye could now lead a few gods to sweep through the Abyss.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye took off the jade pendant from her body and placed it in Hu Tao's hand.

If the Gods here were to enter the Abyss, they would inevitably be corrupted by Abyss. Especially Osial; while the other Gods are merely remnants of resentment, Osial is in his complete form. If he were to be infected by the Abyss and suddenly turn against you within, you would truly be no match for him.

"Ah, what a pity..."

Hu Tao was very disappointed.

I wish that Bai Ye I could bring people inside.

Shenhe walked over and hugged Bai Ye without him noticing.

He held Bai Ye tightly, almost suffocating Bai Ye.

Then, Shenhe released his grip and said to him:

"Alright, I will preserve your presence. If you become lost in the Abyss, I will go inside and bring you out."

No matter where you are, I can bring you here.

This is Shenhe.

Ayaka then took out a talisman from her pocket.

"This is a talisman I obtained from Grand Narukami Shrine. It... it will protect you."

Bai Ye took it.

He touched it slightly and felt that it was like hair inside.

He glanced at Ayaka, Ayaka immediately turned her head away shyly, making it difficult for Bai Ye to press her for more information.

"I haven't prepared anything..." Hu Tao walked up to Bai Ye and said fiercely, "I haven't even prepared a coffin for you, so you'd better come here obediently."

"Okay, I understand."

"Bai Ye I said with a smile," said Ye.

"Wait a moment, I'll be right there."

With that, Bai Ye charged headlong into the darkness.

"Teacher, this time it's just the two of us working together again."

The only person Bai Ye could bring along was her own teacher.

The teacher resides within one's own body, and the power of the Abyss cannot cross over to infiltrate the teacher.

"Alright, with the teacher here, the Abyss is no problem at all."

Hagintos answered excitedly.

The intensity of the filth that polluted the Inazuma five hundred years ago Bai Ye something he hadn't yet experienced outside, but once he rushed inside, he instantly felt that suffocating sensation.

However, the body of the Bai Ye is the nemesis of these 'black' creatures. After the Bai Ye entered, it immediately cleared a space within a radius of several meters.

Immediately, Bai Ye drew the longsword given to her by the Heavenly Principles Maintainer.

Sweep across the surrounding area, clearing out more open space.

He then took out a ignition device and lit a strobe lamp so he could see his surroundings. However, this was the Abyss and the realm of Teyvat, and there was nothing around him.

"Teacher, are you ready?"

Bai Ye asked Hagintos another question.

"Certainly."

Hagintos gave Bai Ye a positive answer.

With Bai Ye of his hand, a mecha arm crafted from the power of the Gods appeared out of Abyss. To prevent this Gods arm from being corrupted by the abyss, Bai Ye also used the power of the Gods Emet to create a connecting tube, completely linking it to his own body through blood.

The arm of the Gods god, stained with Bai Ye's blood, also possesses the power to be the nemesis of the Abyss.

Of course, the feeling of having your blood drawn out is not pleasant.

Bai Ye out a muffled groan, her face pale.

"Bai Ye, are you alright?"

Even knowing that Bai Ye could use the power of the Gods to restore the machine, Hagintos still cried out in distress.

"It's alright, it just hurts a bit. Once we get the Gods Mech out, it shouldn't be too difficult to deal with the monsters in the 'Darkness'." A forced smile appeared on Bai Ye Cang's face, "When necessary, just ask Lady Guuji for more Mora. As long as this blood loss doesn't affect my growth, that's fine."

As he said this, he still staggered slightly due to his weakness.

"Don't worry, it definitely won't happen."

Under normal circumstances, Hagintos would have chuckled at her own absurdity. But in this situation, she had no desire to laugh.

His tone was quite serious.

Mora from Lady Guuji or Raiden Shogun's side is absolutely essential. Also, regarding his growth, I must find a way to help him grow taller. If it doesn't work in Teyvat, then I'll have to find a way on Celestia or in the Abyss.

At this moment, thanks to the power of the Gods, Bai Ye's body was completely restored.

"Let's go, teacher, let's set off."

He began to speak.

"Um."

Bai Ye continued on her way, holding the Heavenly Principles' Sword in her hand and moving forward.

The creatures, terrified of the longsword, scattered to either side. Bai Ye used the sword to carve a path for herself. The mecha arm of the other creature moved constantly in all directions. Hagintos's soul resided on this arm, observing both sides.

'Pitch Black' is also reacting to Bai Ye's relentless advance.

They want to retaliate.

First came the attack from the auras, which naturally coalesced to try and impact Bai Ye. The 'pitch black' condensed mass was nearly a hundred meters long.

Bai Ye slashed down with her sword at the 'pitch black' that was even denser than the surrounding area.

Although this mass of 'pitch black' looked imposing, it offered absolutely no resistance when facing Bai Ye. With a single strike of Bai Ye's sword, the 'pitch black' vanished into thin air in an instant.

It even leaves a large empty space.

This allows Bai Ye to move forward with ease.

Seeing this, Bai Ye quickly moved forward, not wanting to miss the opportunity now that the road ahead was finally passable. She pulled a skateboard from her storage device. With a push of one foot, the skateboard propelled her forward at Bai Ye speed.

The surroundings were completely dark, with nothing but the sound of Bai Ye's skateboard. In this situation, a normal person would feel somewhat apprehensive. However, Bai Ye had experienced having all Seven Senses stripped away, a state where she couldn't even perceive darkness, so she didn't feel much fear now that she could still see Bai Ye.

Bai Ye moved forward at a rapid pace. After advancing several hundred meters, Hagintos shouted "Watch out!" to Bai Ye.

As soon as Bai Ye looked up, a dark figure lunged at Bai Ye.

However, Hagintos was prepared, and as the shadow lunged at it, the mechanical arm grabbed it.

The mechanical arm gripped the shadowy figure firmly.

Qiye looked at Qiu.

Isn't that Entombed Beast Hound?

The mechanical arm was stained with Bai Ye's blood, Entombed Beast Hound howled in pain as soon as they touched it.

Then, it turned into ashes.

Hagintos laughed smugly at the scene, "These things are really easy to deal with in the Abyss. Don't underestimate this one Entombed Beast Hound; even if there were more, we wouldn't have a problem..."

Before she could finish speaking, a series of dark figures instantly appeared around them.

"Teacher, it seems like your words are toxic!"

Bai Ye complained to her teacher.

Hagintos immediately retorted, "Hey, Little Bai Ye, what do you mean? Besides, even if there are so many Entombed Beast Hound, can they really stop us?"

"Don't forget, we are mechanics."

Skilled in Art of Automata, and least afraid of being surrounded.

So Bai Ye was just making sarcastic remarks.

He opened the storage mechanism again and took out countless crossbows.

"Rise!"

Having not fought anyone for a long time, Bai Ye also felt nostalgic. With the Adepti Amplification activated, the Anemo Genshin Eye in Bai Ye's hand lit up, and wings appeared on his back, allowing him to fly into the air.

"Come on, you guys!"

Bai Ye manipulated the crossbow and began firing wildly at the ground below.

With the support of the Anemo Element, these crossbow bolts became both fast and accurate. Bai Ye flew in mid-air, transforming himself into a mobile artillery platform.

With each crossbow bolt, the Entombed Beast Hound were pinned firmly to the ground.

He still remembered clearly the Anemo Element control techniques that Venti had taught him last time. Bai Ye used them, it made it difficult for the Entombed Beast Hound to move, and it was very difficult for the Entombed Beast Hound to succeed in escaping or trying to jump up and attack Bai Ye.

Even if one or two Entombed Beast Hound charged at Bai Ye, they would be fiercely slapped away by the mechanical arm.

The body of the Bai Ye Hound is the natural enemy of the Entombed Beast Hound; basically, anyone who touches it dies.

Soon, a large number of Entombed Beast Hound corpses appeared below Bai Ye.

"Phew~"

Seeing this, Bai Ye couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Now we can finally have some peace and quiet. It's a pity, I still wanted to use my swordsmanship on those Entombed Beast Hound."

Before he could finish speaking, more beast- Entombed Beast Hound appeared in the darkness that had dissipated.

"It seems there's a reason you're willing to learn from me. Your words are equally effective, good or bad. Come, let me see your swordsmanship."

"Hagintos said with a smile."

Bai Ye couldn't help but grin.

His swordsmanship is not bad, it's simply terrible.

"These Entombed Beast Hound are not worthy of my swordsmanship," Bai Ye argued to his teacher.

He then prepared to fire his crossbow at the Entombed Beast Hound again. However, as he observed the crossbow bolts, his brow furrowed slightly.

It seems I don't have enough arrows.

If I really have to rely on my own mecha to attack, it would be bad if an Entombed Beast Hound passed through and attacked my own body.

Indeed, Entombed Beast Hound touches you, you'll die instantly. But if you inflict even a little damage on yourself before dying, you can't withstand several of them.

At the same time, if he dies before he can use his Gods powers to repair the machine, that would be a huge problem.

Hagintos also noticed this situation, and she said with a hint of anxiety:

"If it doesn't work, we should retreat first. We still need to be faster than these Entombed Beast Hound. We can retreat while gathering arrows to attack."

Even in the Bai Ye, I ponder.

At this moment, he saw the Gods power on his mechanical arm.

Which of these Gods powers can help me resolve my current predicament?

After thinking for a moment, his eyes lit up.

This is the only way.

"Teacher, I have another way."

Bai Ye said to Hagintos.

As he spoke, he unleashed the power of the Gods god.

The power of the Salt God.

A pile of white salt appeared in front of Bai Ye.

"These salts..." Hagintos only got halfway through his sentence before he immediately understood Bai Ye's intention.

Bai Ye immediately used his martial arts to cut his own arm, and fresh blood gushed out onto the salt.

In an instant, the blood stained a large area of salt red.

"Next, it's time to give these Entombed Beast Hound a shower of salt."

Bai Ye unleashed the Anemo Element once more.

The strong wind blew these blood-stained salts onto the Entombed Beast Hound.

How small are salt grains? The amount of blood that sprayed out by Bai Ye and stained the ground red was far more than a thousand or even tens of thousands. And just one of these grains could cause fatal damage to those Entombed Beast Hound.

As the bloody rain of salt fell, the Entombed Beast Hound let out pitiful howls.

"Hmph! I'd like to see whether you have more Entombed Beast Hound or more of my stored life energy."

Bai Ye fell from mid-air.

This time, the Entombed Beast Hound were almost completely wiped out by Bai Ye.

After these Entombed Beast Hound disappeared, no new Entombed Beast Hound appeared for a while.

Bai Ye stopped to rest for a while.

Although the battle just now didn't last long, and Bai Ye replenished the energy he had consumed using his Gods power, it still took a significant toll on his mental strength. Especially since it was the first time he had directly drawn his own blood, the intense pain was truly Bai Ye for Bai Ye.

Seeing Bai Ye's exhausted appearance, Hagintos reminded him with concern, "Next time, Little Bai Ye, you'd better prepare more contingency plans."

"Yes, I know."

Bai Ye nodded quickly.

Facing 'Pitch Black' this time is also preparation for the upcoming battles in Khaenri'ah and the Abyss. In 'Pitch Black,' even a small amount of health can be replenished.

That won't do in the Abyss.

Fighting the Abyss is his responsibility, but Bai Ye doesn't want this to be his fate.

"I still prefer happy endings."

Bai Ye said softly.

Just as he said this, a sharp whistling sound seemed to come from the air again.

"They're not doing it again, are they?"

Hearing the sound, Bai Ye stood up again.

He wanted to see if there were any Entombed Beast Hound were still unaware of their own mortality.

Following the sound, he realized he was wrong.

What appeared before him was not Entombed Beast Hound, but a human soul.

Wearing samurai armor and holding a samurai sword, she has the height of a Bai Ye -enviable figure and looks like the soul of Inazuma samurai.

However, this samurai's soul was entirely black, emanating a 'black' color.

"Could this samurai be the Inazuma was devoured a year ago?"

Looking at Bai Ye, the samurai's soul instinctively launched an attack.

He rushed over, raising his knife high as if to slash it in the wind.

Seeing his movements, Bai Ye immediately manipulated the mechanical arm to smash down on the samurai's soul.

The giant fist slammed the samurai's soul to the ground.

Bai Ye rushed forward at the same time and slashed at the samurai's arm.

The sword of Heavenly Principles' Sword cut a wound on the arm of the samurai.

The warrior's soul immediately let out a scream.

Bai Ye watched as the samurai screamed in agony, while Shiro watched from the sidelines.

It wasn't that he had a particular fondness for screaming; rather, it was for the purpose of conducting an experiment.

In his sight, the 'blackness' on the samurai's body gradually disappeared, and his soul slowly returned to its proper form.

After the samurai had recovered to almost full strength, he roared.

"You all go first, I'll cover your retreat!"

After he finished shouting, he froze.

It was pitch black all around, and the only thing visible was the boy in front of him.

"Who are you?"

Memories kept flashing through his mind. The samurai covered his head and asked Bai Ye.

"The heroes who came from the 'darkness' are here."

Bai Ye introduced herself with a smile.

He wanted to see if his purification abilities could work on the corrupted soul.

Judging from the current results, the effect is indeed quite good.

"What? You? You can take us there?" The samurai looked at Bai Ye with a mixture of surprise and delight.

Then, remembering something, he quickly said to Bai Ye, "We don't care, but please make sure to take Lord Lady Guuji's soul with you."
