They deserve the Miyazaki life honestly

It is… complicated.

[He hesitated for a moment. It was a long take- one he planned to shorten significantly, but was still hesitant to tell. The human was kind, and they take was not, yet he had asked for it all the same. So hesitantly Xiao begins.]

Over two millennia ago there was a great war among the gods that left many of their number festering dead across the plains of Liyue. Though the earth claimed their corpses, and their consciousness faded, the despair and resentment remained because you cannot truly kill a god.

It is like a poison that warps the surroundings, creates monsters and plagues, and drives both humans and beast mad. Humans perished in droves because of it.

[It’s blot, basically. Ancient, cursed, dead god blot.]

It is the duty of the Yaksha to defeat these manifestations, and in doing so, we take that taint- the karmic debt of fallen gods- into ourselves. I have taken enough that it… is like a filth that leaks from me constantly.
