Seriously...? [ THOUSANDS OF YEARS?? ] But why would they do something like that? They had to know how bad it would get.
[ then again, he's learning that many in power don't care about these things. and that it's not just a human problem, just like using others who are different isn't. ]
That's... good. [ genuinely. ] I'm glad he had the chance to get better.
[ maybe that means iris has a chance, too, once they get him back to somewhere safe. ]
... we know very little of how the Heavenly Principles thinks, especially as we haven't heard from them in 500 years now. I had no interest in fighting for a seat, only in protecting Liyue, but I came out victorious in the end, regardless.
At the cost of losing so many, over the millennia. Generations of human soldiers that fought by my side, and the adepti that sacrificed themselves in the name of their nation.
[ absolute power corrupts absolutely, whether you're mortal or immortal. he sighs, an almost tired, ancient breath of noise, all 6000 years old in the moment. ]
But they fought for the future. We all did. And he does have the chance to get better - I will take it.
As long as you don't have to go through something like that again, anyway. And I thought demiflora could be dangerous...
[ but gods? that's really on another level entirely. a whole new scale of destruction he couldn't have imagined if not for seeing a fragment of zhongli's life. ]

But even humans without power can be dangerous. It depends entirely on the individual - evil is what we do, not what we are.

Obviously, or there wouldn't be spawncampers.

[ you use terms he doesn't understand.
also it's so fucking funny that vel still uses spawncampers when the mechanics of ctc changed. do you ever think about that. ]

People who hunt demiflora and harvest body parts for their powers. They sell them for money.
