Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Guide

Chapter 21 God’s Rejection and Request



The sun comes to the world with its blazing temperature, like a grand gift.

But the gift burned Qianxia's cold skin, as if silently mocking her persistence.

In Narukami Taisha Shrine, the sacred cherry tree still stands tall, and its beautiful branches and leaves are gently swaying with the cool morning wind. Nothing has changed.

It seemed like someone sighed.

Chinatsu looked at the sacred cherry tree blankly, and the answer was already appearing on the paper.

Yae Kamiko came over and blocked the sun for her.

She said: "The shadow won't listen."

Chinatsu looked up blankly: "Shadow?"

"It's the thunder god you pray to in your heart," she said.

"That's right..." Qianxia murmured.

The two looked at each other in silence for a while.

Yae Shenzi asked: "Who are you praying for?"

"A good man whose name I don't know." Chinatsu said. "It's a pity that he failed."

Even she herself couldn't tell where this feeling came from - she had changed a lot after coming to Teyvat.

"You know... there were gods in my previous world."

"That god is benevolent and will grant all the wishes of his followers, but he died thousands of years before I was born."

Yae Shenzi was a little surprised: "So long?"

"Yes, because of the greed of believers." Qianxia said lightly, "I later found out why my prayers were never answered."

Yae Shenzi asked: "Is there no new god to succeed?"

"New God? Are you kidding me?"

"In my world, there is only one god."

The sun was getting brighter. She opened the black umbrella, looked at her skin burned by the sun, and said somewhat self-deprecatingly: "Do you know the characteristics of my race?"

"You only told me before that you wanted to suck blood, but now I know why you insist on being on duty at night and holding an umbrella..." Yae Shenzi's expression was hard to tell, "It's because the sun will hurt you."

"Yes." Qianxia sneered, "My race must drink blood to survive, and it can only hide in a dark corner without even a hint of sunlight."

"I'm a half-blood, so the sun will only slowly burn me, but purebloods are different - they'll turn to ashes directly in the sun."

"And I only found out later - the greedy believers ate the flesh and blood of the gods, and the gods died, but the believers gained eternal life and became vampires."

Yae Shenzi was shocked and speechless. After a while, she finally regained her composure: "This - I don't know how to evaluate it."

Qianxia said: "I think that rather than the gift that those purebloods admire, I think it is the dying curse of the god."

"So we can never appear openly in the sun. We can only live in the darkness like rats in the gutter. Maybe I am rejected by the gods, so I am destined to be unable to make the gods look down on me."

She smiled self-deprecatingly, "And here I am, actually becoming a shrine maiden praying for blessings at a shrine?"

"I didn't expect that even though I was rejected by the gods, I still couldn't change it in another world."

Yae Shenzi knew that this was not her fault.

Because the actual person in charge of Inazuma no longer cares about worldly affairs.

That supreme and noble god sealed himself in a pure land, and not even she could enter.

At the end, Chinatsu said: "Sir Kamiko, I want to ask you a favor."

"Your status is very unusual. If someone who is treading on tar sand is in trouble...can you lend a helping hand?"
