[Genshin Impact] Ways to Avoid Getting Knocked Out Upon Landing

"You mean Shiliu, the young man from Qingce Village?"

There's a widely known legend among the Adventurers' Guild: wherever you go, you might run into him and get his help.

The fame of this adventurer, hyped up to the heavens, had even reached Travelers newly arrived in Mondstadt.

...But wasn't that a little too absolute?

The Traveler had always doubted whether the story was true. But after arriving in Liyue, he realized just how wrong he had been. Shiliu's legend was everywhere in Liyue, and people mentioned him so often that the poor Traveler's ears were practically callused.

"Brother Pomegranate makes sugar figurines for me and takes me flying!"

"That kid Shiliu is good at fishing, and his knife skills are great too. His fish soup is delicious, of course! Not bad at all!"

Only the current director of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor had a different opinion of him.

"Shiliu, huh?"

"It's strange. He should be one of our biggest customers."

"We were even planning to give him a grand ceremony!"

Why is he still alive?

Why am I still alive?

Shiliu wanted to know that himself. But if he had to give an answer, he'd say: because I can't accept it.

Shiliu had a secret. He would transmigrate without realizing it. During short transmigrations, he would meet people in need of help. But every time he transmigrated for a long time... wherever he landed was doomed to be destroyed soon afterward!

Khaenri'ah, destroyed.

The desert empire, destroyed.

The Archon War, destruction.

Enkanomiya, destroyed.

The Lunar Palace, destroyed.

Perhaps fate was toying with him. His bizarre experiences always landed him in mortal danger. Every time, he was about to be destroyed along with the world around him. Yet somehow, he always managed to fight tooth and nail and seize a narrow chance to survive!

That was how he managed to stay alive.

So, lucky and unlucky in equal measure, he witnessed the war between gods with his own eyes.

He witnessed the fall of Khaenri'ah.

He witnessed the heavens collapse and the earth perish.

He saw countless people caught up in the wars and killed...

War, death... It was all so helpless.

Everything was a blur. Just as he was growing numb and about to give up, he suddenly saw people resisting.

Someone was beginning to fight back!

Though as insignificant as ants, when they resisted, their eyes held no fear.

"..."

Something stirred in his heart, and something quietly bloomed within him.

He began to use his special ability.

In different times and places, he gave himself many names and disguised himself under many identities to make it easier to act.

He did so, so many things.

And each time, he danced on the edge of a knife, escaping danger by the skin of his teeth.

"I'm going to surpass the gods."

Shiliu coughed up blood, but despite the disapproving look from the person before him, he couldn't help laughing. "I'm going to die either way, so I might as well give it a shot."

"And of course, in the end, I won."

He stood up, casually wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said as if it were nothing.

1. An ordinary, yet not-so-ordinary, path to godhood.

2. Pomegranate is a code word: one meaning is lust, the other is power.
