Genshin Impact: Nine Lifetimes of Endless Erosion

After transmigrating to Teyvat, Xiuyuan must undergo nine cycles of reincarnation at his system's command.

In his first life, he becomes Hu Tao's grandfather, teaching her manners, responsibility, and how to write playful poems.

"When Grandpa is gone... remember to eat properly... and stop sleeping in coffins so much... They're cold, and you'll catch a chill..."

"Be good... Little Tao, smile more. Your smile... really is beautiful..."

In his second life, he awakens the sealed-away Qiqi. Together, they build a little wooden cabin and raise a little finch.

"Be good, Qiqi. After I'm gone, issue an edict to yourself."

"I wish I could keep walking beside you, Qiqi, but my time is up. In the days to come, let the people of Liyue take my place and walk beside you."

In his third life, he leads Shenhe into the human world, so she no longer lives in solitude with only mountains, rivers, birds, and beasts for company.

"I love you so much, but... I'm sorry."

"Please forgive me for making this decision on my own. If there is another life, let me be your husband again."

"Keep living well... Live my share of life, too..."

In his fourth life, he becomes Xiao's closest friend, competing with him to slay evil spirits.

"Kill me."

"Send me off with a smile. I don't like sad endings."

Eula, Amber, Ningguang, Kaedehara Kazuha, the Raiden Shogun, Baal, Mikoshi Chiyo, Kitsune Saiguu, Yae Miko, Zhongli...

He will plunge into an endless abyss in exchange for the safety of those he once knew.

Ahead lies eternal damnation, with no peace to be found.

Behind him, lights glow in countless homes, and the nation and its people know peace.
