[I knew it. Now there's going to be sand in my eyes. (sunglasses smile.jpg)]
[Suddenly feels like watching a child grow up.]
[People from the Land of Dragons who have experienced famine are really emotional seeing this scene. Jun Bai being worshipped by the people of the Guili Assembly is truly well-deserved.]
[Suddenly thought of Ishigami Byakuya. To the people of the Guili Assembly, Jun Bai must be their "Ishigami Byakuya," right?]
Morax and Guizhong asked little Jun Bai how he did it, and the three began discussing the matter.
Listening to little Jun Bai's description, the viewers smiled knowingly.
[This is clearly a god from the Land of Dragons.]
[Little Jun Bai is innately suited for farming.]
[God of Fire and Farming. That title really wasn't given wrongly.]
While everyone was evaluating the plot, the scene suddenly cut into little Jun Bai's memories:
A pair of fair, tender little hands dug into the barren soil bit by bit, then placed different seeds into the holes he had dug himself and covered them with earth. After planting the seeds, little Jun Bai sat beside the soil and quietly waited.
As the sky gradually darkened, little Jun Bai stood up and used his small hands stained with soil to dig out the seeds that could not sprout.
He was selecting seeds that could germinate.
[? This seems a bit off.]
[This is completely different from the relaxed and comfortable farming life little Jun Bai described, right?]
Every day, a small figure was busy in the fields, repeatedly bending over and standing up day after day.
It was not until day and night had cycled several times that the entire cultivated land was finally fully planted. Little Jun Bai lay down in the field and fell into deep sleep the moment he closed his eyes:
"zZZ…zZZ…"
On his small body, only the feathered robe remained clean. His little face was covered in dust, making it impossible to see his original appearance.
[Just watching it makes me feel tired…]
[QAQ Baby, you're not being good. This is completely different from what you said. You lied.]
[If you're tired, just cry. Children who cry get candy. (crying.jpg)]
When little Jun Bai woke up, weeds had already grown in the field.
Looking at the weeds that were competing with the crops for nutrients, a wisp of flame ignited at little Jun Bai's fingertips.
But looking at the cultivated land, little Jun Bai extinguished the flame and cleared the weeds in the field with his bare hands just like at the beginning.
However, darkness surged at night.
A monster took advantage of the night to attack little Jun Bai. Little Jun Bai instinctively fought back.
Surging flames devoured the monster, and the surrounding plants were also ignited by the fire.
The fire spread in all directions, illuminating little Jun Bai's face. There was no grief, no sadness, only a faint trace of disappointment.
[Did anyone clearly see what kind of monster that was? Tomorrow I'm making it go extinct in Teyvat.]
[It's obviously a very sad thing, yet he has to say it in a joking tone. Baby, you're so sensible that it hurts my heart.]
The fire raged for an entire night. In one night, the entire cultivated land and the barren mountain beside it were burned clean.
Little Jun Bai trembled as he dug open the soil. After seeing that the seeds were safe and sound, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and revealed a smile from the bottom of his heart.
After the land was burned, it became full of vitality. The scene in the cultivated land changed every single day.
The smile on little Jun Bai's face grew happier day by day.
But such a smile suddenly disappeared when he saw the withered yellow leaves on the crops. Anxiety appeared on little Jun Bai's face.
[Teyvat has no conscience!]
[He just wanted to farm. He didn't do anything wrong.]
[Underground water veins can't be wrong, right? Baby, if you lie to me again I'll… I'll… stop giving you leveling materials! (serious.jpg)]
While little Jun Bai was feeling anxious, a Hydro Slime happened to pass by.
Seeing this, little Jun Bai smiled and quietly followed the Hydro Slime, eventually finding a gathering place of Hydro Slimes.
What relieved everyone was that in this part of the story, little Jun Bai was telling the truth.
The underground water veins were indeed accidentally discovered by little Jun Bai while capturing Hydro Slimes, and there was no cliché scene of him accidentally falling into the water.
[This is still acceptable.]
[Small knife, it's fine. I can still endure it.]
After discovering the water source, the problem of the cultivated land lacking water was also solved. Little Jun Bai sat beside the cultivated land, his gaze falling on the barren mountain that had previously been burned clean.
Little Jun Bai swung his little legs and spoke the only line from his memories:
"The grain produced by one piece of cultivated land may not be enough for the people of the Guili Assembly to eat, so let's plant that mountain as well!"
Little Jun Bai whistled, and thousands upon thousands of birds gathered. Then, under the command of the king of birds, they went to collect seeds.
A large amount of seeds fell from the sky, landing among the barren mountains.
The seeds sank deep into the soil full of vitality and then thrived under little Jun Bai's meticulous daily care.
When both the cultivated land and the barren mountain showed scenes of abundant harvest, little Jun Bai plucked a small handful of grain and flew toward the direction of the Guili Assembly.
The memory ended here.
[He made it sound very relaxed, but in reality he didn't rest a single day.]
[Little Jun Bai really is a good child.]
Through little Jun Bai's downplaying narration, Morax and Guizhong finally understood everything.
The two gods of the Guili Assembly made a contract with little Jun Bai:
"…The contract is formed. Those who break their word shall suffer the punishment of being devoured by rock." ×2
From then on, little Jun Bai officially joined the Guili Assembly.
Time jumped forward a hundred years.
The Archon War began. Morax and Guizhong summoned all the adepti from Jueyun Karst to prepare for the Archon War.
To honor the contract from back then, Morax refused little Jun Bai's request to join the battle and ordered him to stay behind and guard the Guili Assembly.
At the same time, at Cloud Retainer's request, little Ganyu came to the Guili Assembly and lived together with little Jun Bai.
[Ganyu as a child is so cute! She's not inferior to little Jun Bai at all! My daughter has arrived!]
[So interesting. Little Jun Bai himself still looks underage, yet he has to take care of little Ganyu who looks only four years old.]
[This Archon War has lasted so long. Ganyu has already grown to look eight years old. Wasn't Morax supposed to be the God of War?]
"…They have not abandoned their people. The fact that I am still here is the best proof!"
"I am here on the orders of Rex Lapis and the God of Dust to protect the Guili Assembly! I am the evidence that you have not been abandoned by the gods!"
[Clearly Jun Bai himself is very worried about Morax and Guizhong's safety, yet he still has to comfort the people of the Guili Assembly.]
[Jun Bai's tone is so firm. He genuinely believes that Morax and Guizhong will return.]
[He really is so charming.]
[Offering my heart to Lord Marshal!]
The video gradually approached its ending. The scene came to young Jun Bai meditating in the training grounds.
Little Ganyu informed young Jun Bai that Morax and Guizhong were on their way back.
However, young Jun Bai did not smile. Instead, he frowned and muttered to himself: "…I have a bad feeling."
Seeing this, the audience still did not know what shocking truth they were about to face. They probably thought the video was about to end, and miHoYo surely wouldn't suddenly stab everyone with a knife, so they relaxed their vigilance.
At night, the Guili Assembly was silent.
Young Jun Bai suddenly woke up from his dream, grabbed his long sword, and rushed outside the Guili Assembly.
The God of Dreams had arrived.
The Five Yakshas launched successive sneak attacks. Young Jun Bai angrily denounced the God of Dreams for his cowardice.
The God of Dreams was triggered and summoned a monster army to surround the Guili Assembly. Young Jun Bai held a three-foot green blade and stood alone in front of the entrance to the Guili Assembly.
[Isn't this plot development too sudden? There's less than three minutes left in the animation!]
[I can't understand this plot. Why is Bonanus's wife on the opposing side? She even almost injured Jun Bai?]
[Calm down, everyone calm down. Don't forget that Jun Bai is perfectly fine in the current plot, so this segment won't knife Jun Bai.]
[Previous commenter, have you forgotten that Jun Bai's god name is the Nirvana God!]
Flames flowed, sword shadows flashed.
Monsters kept falling, and more monsters kept surging forward. Young Jun Bai relied on the most ordinary three-foot green blade in his hand to slaughter on the battlefield, continuously advancing toward the God of Dreams.
The Five Yakshas wielded long spears and fought chaotically with young Jun Bai on the battlefield. The God of Dreams lurked in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity.
At this moment, the flames burned to their maximum limit. The temperature erupting from the flaming wings turned any approaching monster into ashes in an instant.
The monsters' roars continued until the sunlight of dawn rose.
Little Ganyu woke up from her sleep, got out of bed, and was about to go greet young Jun Bai.
"Phenex!" ×2
Morax and Guizhong appeared not far outside the Guili Assembly. The perspective switched to the two of them.
Following their line of sight, the scene that appeared on screen was utterly shocking.
The young god's body looked so frail. Five sharp spears had pierced through his slender body. His entire form was covered in wounds, and his handsome face was stained with blood.
"You all… have finally returned."
"It's fine. Nothing… happened at all."
