@zhonql: #Zhongli’s duty as the god of humanity involves caring for humanity. Because of his duty he has to make sacrifices like sealing away azhdaha his old friend. These repeated sacrifices are part of the erosion he experiences wearing away at the things and relationships that matter to him. This is why I believe when the scene is ending and paimon says you still care a lot about liyue he ends up correcting her by saying its a part of his duty. Because caring for and loving humanity is the expected duty (curse) laid upon gods. So rather than the sacrifices themselves being the curse imposed upon him, the curse is his duty that he is bound to fulfill and the erosion is the consequence of carrying that duty. #tsaritsa #genshin #GenshinImpact #xyzbca
