Chapter 602 Goodbye, Halfdan

[As expected of Brother Bai, he really has a way! 】

[Well... it's not hard to understand. The four current rulers are like guests who borrowed the laws of Teyvat. No matter how well they use them, their authority is not as good as that of the natural demons, who are the direct descendants of Teyvat.]

[In other words, if the Demon of Death hadn't been sent, it would be easy to resolve the curse of the Kanreya people? ]

[Teyvat: The authority I gave my son is greater than that of outsiders. Is there a problem? Anyone have any opinions? ]

Jun Bai explained the difference between the two methods to everyone.

Lift the curse, literally.

Jun Bai will use his own Nirvana Law to lift the curse of the Death Ruler with his authority that is greater than that of the ruler.

The result is that Halfdan will be freed from the curse, his body will turn into ashes, and he will die.

After all, according to the actual situation, the people of Kanreya today have survived to this day thanks to the curse.

Therefore, the moment the curse is lifted, true death will come as expected. This is the immutable law of nature.

But for the people of Kanreya, this is actually a relief and a good thing.

Another way is to send Halfdan to where he should go.

The purpose of this plan is not to send Halfdan to the earth vein, but to let Jun Bai send Halfdan's soul to reincarnation.

What is recorded in the earth veins is information; the soul is only there temporarily.

When the time comes, the soul will be reincarnated according to the rules of Teyvat. Only in special circumstances can this rule be ignored.

Paimon was surprised and said, "So there is a concept of reincarnation in Teyvat. No one has ever heard of it before..."

Jun Bai crossed his arms and said, "Because the so-called reincarnation does not mean living a new life."

"When you go to reincarnate, the information engraved on your soul will be deposited in the earth veins, leaving only the pure essence."

"All the information is in the earth veins, so even if you go to reincarnate, there will be no trace of the past."

"Essentially, I am a different individual from my previous life."

Everything starts over again, and no trace of the past is left. How can it be said to be past life or present life?

"..."

Ying seemed to be thinking:

"So, these two options actually let Dain choose, to let Halfdan be free, or to let Him start a new life?"

Long Ruo asked a soul-searching question: "Excuse me, is there any difference between the two? Aren't they both essentially to free Halfdan?"

[What you said...really makes sense! ]

[One is complete liberation, the other is a fresh start, but both have the same step: to die. ]

[Jun Bai: I made it very clear before, it is impossible to restore Halfdan to his original state.]

[That's true. We're sending them away anyway, so it's naturally different from the original state of being alive...]

Jun Moli suddenly said:

"No, there is an essential difference between the two."

"Third brother, if I'm not mistaken, if it's just to remove the curse, it's a special case, right?"

Jun Bai nodded: "If we just remove the curse, Halfdan will certainly be freed, but his soul will sleep forever in the earth veins."

"Well... that might not be a bad thing for you."

Jun Bai looked at Dainsleib: "At least when you feel lonely, you can come here to visit him."

"..."

Dainsleb remained silent.

"So what will you choose next? Captain of the palace guards of Kanreya, Sword of the Last Light, Dainsleb."

Jun Bai looked at Dainsleib leisurely.

Dainsleb took a deep breath, looked at Jun Bai, bowed and said: "Please..."

"Send Halfdan to where he should go."

"...No regrets?" Jun Bai asked.

Dainsreb said firmly, "Halfdan sacrificed his life to protect Kanria. He is my pride."

"I can't stop Halfdan from starting a new life just because of my own selfish desires. So..."

Jun Bai stopped Dainsleib: "I know."

After saying that, a cluster of Nirvana fire ignited at Jun Bai's fingertips and he gently touched Halfdan's body.

Flames ignited on Halfdan's body.

Strands of black rose from Halfdan's body. That was the "immortality" curse that was expelled by the fire of Nirvana.

Dainsleb looked at Halfdan with complicated eyes.

He whispered, "Goodbye, Halfdan."

Dainsleb turned around, unwilling to see what was about to happen next.

At this moment, the expressions of Ying and others suddenly changed.

Dainsleb saw the sudden change in everyone's expression and subconsciously looked back in the direction they were looking.

He looked startled.

A familiar figure appeared. His face was unusually young and everything remained the same as it was back then.

The young soldier waved to Dainsleb and saluted him in greeting.

【Give your heart! 】

【心懓をささげよう! 】

Dainsleb stared at the figure in front of him in a daze.

They looked at each other speechlessly.

He was worried that everything he saw was just a bubble.

"I'm sorry, Lord Dainsleif, I failed you at that time and failed to protect the people."

Halfdan's tone was full of apology.

Hearing this, Dainsleb clenched his fists and said, "No, you have fulfilled your responsibilities in the past five hundred years."

He saluted Halfdan in response, showing a gratified smile, and said solemnly: "To this day, you are still my glory!"

[Glory to the Sword of Last Light! Kanriya will never perish! ]

Looking at the smile on Dainsleib's face, Halfdan was stunned, then scratched his head a little at a loss.

Then the young soldier asked a little awkwardly: "Kanria is not lost, is it? After all, you are standing here."

Dainsleb was startled when he heard this question, which he had never thought about before, and then nodded:

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Halfdan smiled.

The flames of Nirvana rose up and enveloped Halfdan's soul, and the work of exorcising the curse was completed.

"The time has come."

"If you have anything else to say, hurry up."

Jun Bai's voice came.

Dainsleb looked at Halfdan, who showed a look of relief in the firelight, and his lips moved a few times.

Finally said:

"Halfdan, we will meet again if we are lucky."

Halfdan nodded: "I will definitely do that."

Halfdan's figure turned into tiny specks of light in the flames of Nirvana. They gathered together and moved away into the distance.

Looking at the departing friend, Dainsleb closed his eyes and said as if talking to himself:

"Kanria has not been destroyed..."

“So there is no need to restore the country.”

——Digression

I'm going out with friends tonight, so I'm writing this in advance. I'll resume my normal updating time tomorrow.
