Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 372 Lively Fire, Icy Thunder

Just as Huiyuan was wondering, Liuyun took out a Yin-Yang compass of strange size that looked like it was broken.

She seemed to be thinking about how to explain it, fiddling with it a few times...

"According to you, Martha lost her memory after being unfrozen and was taken in by the 'Fools' and trained as a soldier. But she was kind-hearted and unwilling to kill, so she was abandoned... Fortunately, she met you."

"That's true, but Liu Yun... what does this have to do with amnesia?"

"She probably never had amnesia."

"Never lost your memory...?"

"That's right, her memories have always been there, but they were frozen by some kind of force. During the time her memories were gone, she received training from the Fatui. The reason she didn't develop a murderous personality was because of the frozen memories within her. As the ice slowly melted, the memories naturally influenced her."

"So, she should have recovered long ago, but why..."

"This is the key point, let me explain slowly. Due to some kind of training after losing her memory, her memories, personality, and soul have been re-condensed into a new consciousness. This new consciousness is very powerful, and compared to the old consciousness, it is more like the dominant personality."

"You mean, Martha's current dual personality is because she's too powerful right now?"

"That's right. To put it more simply, her soul is now split in two: one is her original, childhood self, and the other is her current, powerful self. Just like this Yin-Yang compass, one black and one white but different in size, they cannot be merged... The original her was too weak; she could not bear the weight of her current self."

"Then, what should we do...?"

"Nonsense, if I could solve it, I would have done it already."

"Uh...it seems I'll have to ask someone else for help to come up with a solution..."

Having said that, Huiyuan thought of getting up to find Zhongli...

"Wait a minute, I just can't solve it, it's not like I don't know how. The childhood part is too small, and now she's too big, so why not let the outside world fill the gap? It's just that it's very difficult to execute. Location, luck, feng shui, timing, and elixirs are all indispensable."

Upon hearing this, Huiyuan quickly returned to her seat, pretending that nothing had happened.

"True Lord Liuyun can solve this! You should have said so earlier! Tell me, as long as you have a solution, I will fully support you!"

"First is location and timing. She needs to be in a place where the yin energy is lacking and the yang energy is strong, and it must be a place where the sun shines, and it must be noon. Then there's feng shui and elixirs... Hmm, I can handle that. The last one... luck, that's the most troublesome. If the previous deductions are all correct, she will fully recover; otherwise, both of her personalities will perish."

"Complete destruction of personality...? The consequences are so severe, it's better to maintain the status quo."

Liu Yun shook his head, disagreeing with Hui Yuan's statement.

“No, this is for you... For Marta, she can’t accept her current incomplete self. Besides, if we leave it unattended, I can’t say what problems might arise in the future, so it’s better to deal with it sooner rather than later.”

Just then, the system issued a notification sound.

The quest "Extreme Yin Returns to Yang, Inch by Inch of Memory, King" has entered a new phase, "Lively Fire, Frosty Thunder." The quest objective has been expanded to include: completing Martha's personality.

The system's intention in providing this prompt at this point is quite clear.

The predictions of the True Lord Liuyun and Jifeng are most likely correct. In that case, let's take action.

However, failure would mean the complete destruction of one's personality, and the consequences are truly... sigh, worrying.

Three days later...

At the summit of Qingyun Peak, above the Qunyu Pavilion...

Amidst a vast sea of ​​clouds, three True Lords gathered on a platform.

Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, Huiyuan, and... Yixiao Daotian Zhenjun, who was resurrected during the Lantern Festival.

Upon hearing about Martha's situation, Yi Xiaodaotian volunteered to take on the responsibility of protecting the Dharma.

Liu Yun glanced at the stage, pondered for a moment, and said:

"It will be noon in half an hour, Marta, are you ready? Do you understand the consequences of failure?"

"I understand, Master..."

"I hope so... Huiyuan, are you ready?"

"of course."

"Then I need to start preparing too."

Liu Yun spread his wings with the help of the wind, dispersing the surrounding clouds and mist for miles.

As the sunlight shone on Marta's body, she began to circulate her energy.

Seeing this, Huiyuan slowly walked to the opposite side, sat cross-legged, and activated various items he had bought from Mora's shop.

There's still some time before the formation activates...

Marta felt a strange itch in her heart. She slowly opened her eyes, stopped her cultivation, and said to Huiyuan:

"Brother, if we fail... will you still take care of me, who has lost myself, forever...?"

There was a hint of a sob in her voice, as if she was certain she would fail...

"Don't make promises you can't keep. Don't worry, even if you're no longer who you are, I won't abandon you."

During the three days of preparation, Marta hesitated for a very long time.

She cannot accept being incomplete, nor can she accept no longer being herself.

If failure means the destruction of one's personality, would the person I am later still like my brother?

It's about giving up treatment, letting your soul spiral out of control, and enjoying the last moments of your life...

I will accept treatment; failure means losing everything, success means a new life...

For Marta, who strives for perfection, this is a problem of the century.

"Never mind, as long as my brother still loves me... I hope I can still be friends with Razer and Klee... and that Courtney, you better eat properly."

With this in mind, she continued practicing her cultivation technique.

Half an hour passed, and Huiyuan held her breath, as if all the key points were concentrated here...

All? Or nothing at all? Marta didn't ponder this question alone during those three days.

She found her brother's friend, the fortune teller Mona...

"Sister Mona, can you see through my destiny?"

Marta asked the question, but Mona looked nervous.

"I can't... Although I hate to admit it, I can't see through your fate and the fates of your other sisters when it comes to Huiyuan. It's as if your fates don't exist at all..."

Finding no answer there, the kitten left dejectedly...

Soon after, she met Courteney's neighbor and her brother's friend: Miss Amber.

"Sister Amber, what do you think I should do?"

Amber answered as follows:

"Hmm... I'm not entirely sure either, but it's like a newborn chick. How can it soar if it doesn't fall off a cliff? That's what I thought when I first used the Wings of Wind: 'Let the wind do its thing, close your eyes and you'll fly.' I don't know if this helps you, but anyway, good luck!"
