Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

Chapter 599 Homecoming Amidst a Sky Full of Milky Ways

Ahmar doesn't seem like the type to joke around too much.

After thinking for a while, Xu Ning felt that he still needed to clarify what he had just said.

"What you just said...you mean I've learned how to have children with other people, right?"

Ahmar shook his head. "The ownership of the Golden Dreamland is set to belong solely to you. No one can easily touch it, not even your lover. Therefore, you must be able to give birth yourself to designate the creation of a specific person..."

Xu Ning pouted and nodded. So, it turns out I still have to give birth myself!

Jade, I'm sorry, I was thinking of giving Daddy back to you, but the price to pay is too high. Grandpa can't do having a baby!

"Enough of this small talk. Although Teyvat won't notice this wisp of thought I left behind in the Golden Dreamland, it's still safest to make it disappear as soon as possible."

"I was originally thinking of asking you for something in the name of the Golden Dreamland, but then I thought about how much you've already shouldered... If you have the time, you could visit the Eternal Oasis..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ahmar and his throne began to become transparent, as if shadows were being illuminated by the light of day and gradually faded away.

Meanwhile, for Xu Ning, countless stars in the black void began to converge towards his hand.

It was as if the Milky Way was pouring down from the sky, flowing through his right palm and all of it into the Dust-Hidden Gourd in his left hand.

Xu Ning knew that each star here represented a memory, evidence of someone having walked through Teyvat.

As the stars faded, the deep night sky began to shed its black veil, and Xu Ning felt that the area around him was gradually becoming brighter, and at the same time, he seemed to be able to hear the sounds outside.

"How could this happen... I can't believe he just... He hasn't even told me about my mother yet. He said he'd tell me everything after this was over... Waaah..."

It was Jade crying.

How can I explain the fact that only I came back?

As Xu Ning was thinking, he suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented. Only after he could feel his body did he realize that he was actually lying on the ground.

"Xu Ning, you're back?"

Belial noticed Xu Ning's unusual behavior immediately, quickly helped him up and pulled him into his arms, snatched the gourd that Xu Ning was clutching tightly, and poured two mouthfuls into his mouth.

As the refreshing wine entered his stomach, Xu Ning slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing I saw was Jade, her lips trembling slightly, looking like she wanted to ask but didn't dare.

Turning his head slightly, he saw that Zeberlele's body was lying on the ground next to his own, but there was no longer any sign of breathing or heartbeat.

“I’m sorry, Jade! I couldn’t bring Jeberle back…”

Jade's last remaining hope was finally shattered, and she finally opened her mouth and burst into tears.

Xu Ning gently patted Belial, indicating that she was fine and asked her to keep an eye on the little girl.

After placing the gourd on the ground beside him, Xu Ning flashed into the Dust-Hidden Cave.

The light inside the cave had been dimmed by the man in green, making it look like night. The stars that had been brought in seemed to have truly become stars in the cave's night sky, twinkling in mid-air.

When Xu Ning entered, he saw Tirzad sitting in front of the water screen, holding an empty bowl and staring blankly at the corpse of Jeberlele on the water screen, with a pile of completed manuscripts at his feet.

Xu Ningjing walked past him quietly without disturbing him, heading straight for the saplings next to the "Thousand Leaves" wine spring.

Even though there is a special spring in the Hidden Cave Heaven that nourishes that wisp of white branch.

However, after the white branch grew into a sapling, it seemed to stop growing and never grew any taller.

However, according to Qingyi, its roots have already penetrated and covered the soil at the bottom of the entire cave.

"Although you no longer have the power of the World Tree here, you shouldn't have forgotten those methods from the past, right? These countless stars that just entered were once the Sand People of your Sumeru. I'm entrusting them all to you for resettlement, okay?"

A loli-like figure, strikingly similar to Narcissus, was projected onto the sapling, appearing much clearer than before.

The little girl nodded seriously, "No problem. Although the house is a bit small, I will still take good care of them."

Xu Ning smiled, reached out his hand, and all the stars in the sky converged towards the sapling as he pointed.

Watching the sapling easily incorporate countless stars, the branches of the entire sapling seemed to have turned back to the unique white of the World Tree, and you could even see countless points of light moving in certain directions within the branches.

Xu Ning stood up with satisfaction, looking at the vast expanse of the cave that could be seen at a glance, "I must say, this place is actually a bit small!"

Xu Ning turned around and walked to the rock-attribute clone sitting in front of the "Thousand Rocks" wine spring, and reached out to press on the clone's bony shoulders.

“The guys outside have already started to play the ‘cut off the fuel supply’ game. We don’t have that kind of guts, so we’ll just take a small cut.”

The rock-elemental clone remained silent, but Xu Ning knew that it had begun to infuse its elemental power into the land beneath it, and the boundaries of the cave heaven began to grow bit by bit.

Just as Qingyi said, her cave heaven has already connected the inner and outer worlds. As long as there is a loss inside, the spiritual energy outside will continuously replenish it. She is using these resources to increase the value of her cave heaven. In fact, it is just a small matter of reaching out and grabbing a few handfuls of wool, and it should not cause any trouble.

Having settled everything, Xu Ning emerged from the cave once more.

Outside, with Belial by her side, Jade had stopped crying and was just stroking her father's face in a daze.

Xu Ning picked up the wine gourd from the ground and tucked it into his waistband, then comforted him, saying, "Besides worrying about you and protecting you, Zheberle had no regrets until the very end. So you need to be strong quickly. Only if you can grow up happily and live happily can Zheberle go to find your mother in peace."

Jade understood what Xu Ning meant, and nodded while suppressing her grief. Then she picked up the large axe next to Jeberlele and carried it on her back.

"I need to bury my father first, and I need to choose a good place so that the desert wolves and vultures can't disturb his peace."

Xu Ning bent down and picked up Jeberlele's body, looking south and saying, "I do know where your old man most wanted to be buried?"

Leading Jade out of the Hall of Manifestations, the three of them and Benben arrived at the teleportation anchor point in the shadows at the main entrance of the Hall of Manifestations.

Jade wanted to hold Xu Ning's father's body in his place, but Xu Ning refused.

“I’ll carry him, you carry Benben, and Belial, you hold both of us, and we’ll teleport out now.”

As soon as Belial grabbed both of their arms, Xu Ning leaned against the teleportation anchor point, and the three of them instantly teleported towards the oasis near the exit of the Sacrifice Trail.

Xu Ning summoned the wind field again, and had Belial take Jade with him to the cliff. Tirzad also volunteered to come out and help bury Jeberlele.

At that small stone tablet, the light green scarf still swayed gently in the night breeze.

"This is your mother's grave. Your father buried her here himself. I think he still wants to be next to her now."

Jade's tears, which she had barely stopped, started flowing again.

Next to the small grave, a large grave appeared, like a tender wife leaning against her husband's broad chest, gazing gently at her daughter whom she could not bear to part with.

Jade held a thick notebook in her hand and flipped through it; it had fallen from his arms when they buried Jeberlele earlier.

"This is a notebook my mother left behind. It not only records a lot of information about the Red King's explorations, but also a lot about my father and me, all the little things we did together. It seems she foresaw that we might be separated..."

Xu Ning gently patted her shoulder.

"Please accept my condolences. Once this matter is settled, we will temporarily return to Aru Village. I promised your father I would take good care of you, so why don't you come with us..."

Tirzad also spoke up, "Your mother is also our relative, or if you wish, you can come back to Sumeru with me, and the family will certainly be willing to accept you."
