New Kunlun Vocalized
Sunny for Eigong
The head of the Tiandao Council and Yi's former mentor, Eigong is a well established scientist and the only Solarian alive other than Yi who actively practices Fangshi combat techniques. Eigong is the main antagonist, rarely appearing to speak until the end of the game, originally through logs progressing through her misguided search for immortality and the events following, including the creation of Tianhuo and subsequent failed cure, as she slowly gets more desperate and eventually insane. When Yi confronts her after hearing these logs, Eigong is fully set on her twisted image of immortality.

Line Context and Tone:
Line 1: Long before the events of the game, Eigong was already an established researcher and member of the Tiandao council. 10 years before these notes were taken, Eigong was pressured to fully devote herself to researching immortality. Though this breakthrough does lead to the creation of Tianhuo, Eigong does not know it yet and takes the notes as if they were a major success for the project.
Line 2: This is a research log from Eigong on New Kunlun, long after her accidental creation of Tianhuo and the following launch of the Eternal Cauldron Project. At this point she's at her most desperate, having entirely given up on normal notetaking procedure after the failure of the Tianhuo cure and the creation of the mutants. Though she has not yet gone insane enough to consider the mutants as anything other than an interesting byproduct of the failed cure.
Line 3: This line is two parts. The first part is as Eigong giving her grand speech about the Tianhuo mutation being the next step for Solarians in a back and forth with Yi during the final confrontation. Following it is a quick retort from Yi directly declaring he will stop Eigong and then the second part. During the second part, Eigong realizes she isn't going to convince Yi and so prepares to fight him seriously, as they did once before in the game's opening cinematic.

After ten years of unrelenting research, we have finally made a critical breakthrough in the synthesis between solarian cells and the Roots’ regeneration cells. This is our first step towards immortality, and a victory for science. This research may even become a turning point and encourage people to embrace science and technology. It may be our greatest accomplishment since Lear passed away.
No, no, no! There has to be an explanation, and I will find the answer. Scientific questions always yield answers. I must’ve missed something crucial. There are solarians in their Soulscapes just waiting for me to save them! All my sacrifices will eventually pay off!
Since the dawn of our race, solarians were but stupid beasts before the whims of fate, endlessly pursuing our own tails. You should celebrate, because we’re about to break out of this cycle, and enter the realm of the immortal. How extremely cruel of you... I hoped that by trapping you in your dreams, I could avoid this confrontation. No mentor can bear to end any of their students’ lives. Don’t make me do it twice.
