Genshin Impact: Reject Camera, Replace Traveler

Chapter 1 Ancient Dust Replaces the Traveler

On the continent of Teyvat, in Mond region, on the beach between Cape Lookout and Star-Pickling Cliff.

Logically speaking, this is the starting point, where travelers begin their journey.

But from the very beginning, everything changed.

The identity of the traveler still exists, but he is no longer the yellow-haired cameraman, but a time traveler.

Gu Chen, an ordinary otaku in the real world, traveled to this world and came to this beach when he woke up.

When he first came here, he didn't realize that this was the continent of Teyvat.

After walking around and discovering two plants, the sweet flower and the sunset fruit, he finally understood where he had traveled to.

What’s even more amazing is that the next morning, in order to satisfy his hunger, he had to try fishing, and he ended up catching a Paimong!

Even Paimon was hooked, so it goes without saying what identity he replaced.

It is indeed a good thing to be able to travel in this colorful world instead of the yellow-haired camera, save some tragedies and change some dissatisfactions.

But why did he replace the traveler? Was there any inside story? Gu Chen wanted to find out.

And who else could be more suitable to ask the question except the Paimon in front of him?

After shaking Paimeng upside down a few times like shaking a towel to get the water out of her stomach, Paimeng woke up in a daze.

You can communicate as soon as you wake up.

Facing this little girl, Gu Chen was serious and earnest, and started a frank conversation with her.

To show his sincerity, Gu Chen first explained his origins, told Paimeng the general situation of his original world, and even explained that this world was just a game to him!

Paimeng was very surprised after hearing this.

But after thinking about it, Paimon felt that this world should not be fake.

The reason why it is just a game in Gu Chen's original world may be that some information of the continent of Teyvat was mapped to that world and presented in the form of a game.

Paimeng's answer was totally unique, and it made Gu Chen look at Paimeng differently, knowing that Paimeng's identity was definitely not simple.

So, he took the opportunity to ask about Paimon's origins.

Unfortunately, Paimon covered his forehead and thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what he was. He could only say that Paimon was Paimon.

During this period, Gu Chen kept staring into Paimeng's eyes.

He could tell that Paimon hadn't lied to him, she really didn't know.

Was it sealed? Or had it lost most of its power and degenerated into this state? Gu Chen couldn't figure it out.

Just as Gu Chen was thinking, Paimeng panicked.

Because she herself doesn't know who she is, she can't prove herself.

How can I gain Gu Chen’s trust?

I should be Gu Chen’s best friend!

There was no solution after racking his brains, so Paimeng could only show his strength to Gu Chen.

Paimon’s power is simple, but also not simple.

She can control the flow of time, making it faster or slower, but she cannot reverse the flow of time.

By controlling the flow of time, she can also influence space to a certain extent. After all, space and time are connected.

In addition, she can influence human consciousness to a certain extent.

Let everyone see Paimon, but they are not curious about what species Paimon is. They just treat her as an ordinary person.

After hearing about these three abilities, and even Paimon demonstrating how time could slow down on the spot, Gu Chen was surprised.

This... In the original story, Paimon didn't tell Huangmao about her three abilities, right?

Maybe it was admitted, but it was not shown in the original plot.

But no matter what, Paimeng was so frank from the beginning that Gu Chen was still quite touched.

Looking at the little girl's uneasy expression, Gu Chen smiled and comforted her:

“Paimon, don’t worry.

Even though you don't know where you came from, I am still willing to trust you and treat you as my best partner."

Paimon was obviously relieved, and he put his hands on his chest to relax a lot:

"That's good, that's good, I was really scared just now!

I don't know what's wrong with me.

But I know that my mission is to be your partner and your guide, to lead you on your journey around the world, and to accompany you to the end!"

Gu Chen smiled and shook his head:

"No, it's not about accompanying me to the end, it's about accompanying me all the way!"

Paimon's eyes lit up, his face was moved, and he nodded vigorously:

"Well, keep going!"

After saying that, little Paimon tentatively extended his hand:

"Um...do you want to make a pinky promise?"

Gu Chen also smiled and stretched out his hand, hooked his pinky finger with Paimeng's even smaller pinky finger, and muttered as he hooked the pinky finger:

"Hallo, hallo, don't change. If you do, throw him to the glacier.

The glaciers are cold, the snowfields are freezing, and lying tongues are frozen to pieces!"

Hearing this, Paimeng couldn't hold it back any longer:

"Uh...it's actually...it's the cruel nursery rhyme from Winter Solstice!

Gu Chen, could this be the winter nursery rhyme of this world that you learned about through the information in the game? "

Gu Chen smiled:

"Yes, that's it."

Paimeng covered his head, feeling a little inexplicably aggrieved:

“Hmm…it seems you do know a lot about this world.

But then, wouldn't my role as a guide become unnecessary?"

Seeing that the little girl was about to collapse, Gu Chen quickly comforted her:

"What are you talking about? What do you mean by dispensable?

I don’t really care about being a guide or anything like that. What I care about more is that you are my partner.

Paimon, don't be sad, come here, I'll perform a magic trick for you."

While coaxing her like this, Gu Chen stretched out his hand.

In the palm of his hand, a warm and bright light gradually emanated!

Paimon's current situation distracted her attention. She widened her eyes and leaned forward.

“Wow! What is this!?

Light!?

Such warmth, such a powerful force!

Among the seven elements on the continent of Teyvat, I've never heard of light!"

Gu Chen smiled mysteriously.

This is certainly not a light element, nor is it the so-called light force in the Yuanxia Palace, but pure light energy.

Gu Chen is now both a human and light.

Perhaps we can call him...a life form of light!

This sentence is both human and light, so we can probably guess the source of Gu Chen's power, right?

Yes, it’s Ultraman’s multiverse worldview!

Everything is thanks to Gu Chen's golden finger and system. Gu Chen calls him Tongzi.

The function of Tongzi is nothing more than drawing lots.

The direction of the lottery is Ultraman's multiverse worldview.

The system can draw any power, skills, and items from there!

I have to say that Ultraman's multi-dimensional universe view is not much inferior to the tree and sea universe view here.

And the strength skill items drawn from there would be unimaginably powerful if placed on the continent of Teyvat!

Even now Gu Chen was a little complacent thinking:

In other words, the timeline is relatively late now. If I traveled back to the period of the Demon War, I would have to become a Demon God of Light at least!
