Original God, but the real world

Chapter 101-Let's take a rest first
Jiang Qing made some time to rest.

Next he had two choices, Sumi and Inazuma.

In fact, if Ying went to Xumi at this time, she would definitely kill people indiscriminately.

The plans of the Order of the Fatui and the Fatui were not officially advanced until the Skirmishers obtained the Heart of God. Everything before that was just preparatory work.

Without the appearance of skirmishers, their work would always remain at the preparation stage.

Because the skirmishers are so special.

He is the first puppet made by General Raiden, and his original intention of making the puppet was to take over his seat and continue to serve as the God of Thunder who rules Inazuma.

In other words, the Skirmishers were born as reserve gods.

Unfortunately, after he was created, his makers determined that he was not strong enough to bear the elemental power of a god.

Yae Shinko's opinion was to destroy it altogether, but General Raiden finally chose to seal him up and re-create the second general, who is now Inazuma's God of Thunder.

In terms of manufacturing purpose, the skirmisher is undoubtedly a failure.

But he was indeed a puppet created to take over the scepter of God.

Without such key props in place, the research of the House of Representatives will only remain on paper and there will be no actual progress or breakthroughs.

During this period, if Ying arrived at Xumi, he would definitely kill people indiscriminately.

Xumi's top combat power is relatively average. Ying, who has three elements' power, can hold the lady's coffin lid firmly. It will be difficult for her to meet any opponent in Xumi.

As long as you come into contact with Nashida, you can directly reach Mount Sumeru.

Ying, who possesses all three elemental powers, is already one of the most powerful men in the current era.

When the lady first met her, she was still a newbie who was pinned to the ground and yelled "Wendy" by two debt collectors.

However, when Inazuma met, the lady who had untied the shackles was no match for Ying, and completely lost the duel in front of the emperor. In the end, she was killed instantly by a single sword from the Thunder God.

If the lady had known that Ying would grow at this rate, she would have chosen to get rid of Ying.

In fact, Rosaline should have noticed when Ying was able to defeat Tartaglia.

However, she did not take Tartaglia's failure seriously, and as a result, she also lost in Inazuma.

Continuing to go up, the only one who could stop her was the devil.

But Ying cannot go to Xumi because Inazuma urgently needs her to save her.

If Ying doesn't go to Inazuma now, then once General Raiden's plan is finished with the finishing touches, there will be no public willingness to help her.

If she wants to win then, she will have to challenge General Lei Dian alone.

Without the help from the Eightfold Son of God, she would really have to challenge the God of Thunder, the first of the Seven Rulers of the Earth, alone.

Although Lei Diang succeeded the throne of the God of Thunder later, as a twin of the first God of Thunder, he was originally the better fighter among the twins.

Raiden is really good at ruling and can bring a more gentle development to Inazuma.

And Lei Movies is the powerful force that maintains its rule.

He killed countless demons in the land of Inazuma, and finally allowed his sister to ascend to the throne of God.

In this respect, He is also the true first generation God.

By the time the Eye Hunting Order came to an end, the resistance army was almost at its end.

By that time, the entire Inazuma will have accepted the current situation, and if Ying wants to challenge the God of Thunder, it will be a real one-on-one fight.

Even without the Heart of God, General Lei Dian still possesses the strength of a demon god, fierce and powerful.

If she doesn't take shortcuts or rely on luck, she can only improve her hard power to fight tough battles.

This requires her to collect at least six elements.

Therefore, she must face Thor before the people completely succumb to power. During this period, the Eightfold God can give her some cheats, but after this time point, he will have to force her.

Ying of the Four Elements could defeat the false god who was promoted from Sanbing with the help of Nashida, but I am afraid that the Sanbing at that time was still not good enough to be a Thunder General.

Jiang Qing definitely hopes that Ying will go to Inazuma - if she doesn't go, who will carry General Lei Dian?

He couldn't bear it even if he offered his life.

Jiang Qing cannot interfere with Ying's choice, but to a large extent, Ying's choice determines what he can achieve.

If she didn't go to Inazuma, Jiang Qing would not be taking a risk but would be losing his life.

But that’s all for later.

Now Jiang Qing can take a short break.

"So, this is why your strength has increased?"

Eula took a deep breath.

Her strength is stuck at Lv5 to Lv6, which means she has not broken through to level 70.

This strength is already very impressive.

The limit of mortals is probably level 80, and if they want to go one step further and enter the level of [Original God], they may need a little bit of external help.

If you want to go one step further from level 90 and reach the top of Sky Island, that is probably not a problem that talent can solve.

That requires a bit of luck.

Eula has been busy with business lately.

Jiang Qing is an individual and he has no pursuit of wealth or power.

But Eula is responsible for the entire family of Lawrence and must consider the entire family.

The Chamber of Commerce is profit-seeking, but the cooperation between Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and Youla is mainly with her as a person.

The value of cooperation lies in the fact that she has many secret recipes and alchemy drawings in her hands, so Eula does not need to worry too much about the cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce.

Unless this group of people intend to take it by force, any far-sighted person would choose to cooperate with Eula instead of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs and only making a profit from her business.

Even so, she is still needed for cooperation in all aspects.

When she turned around, she discovered that her partner and half-apprentice had reached a level that was difficult to understand.

Didn't... this person kill monsters? How did he have such strength?

Jiang Qing smiled awkwardly but politely.

This success is not worth boasting about, although in a way, it is a success for him to communicate with gods as a human being.

But the gods of Teyvat are extraordinary.

They naturally love the people of their country, and contact with gods may be an honor for the people of Teyvatian, but it is nothing worth showing off.

After all, gods are indeed such friendly beings to humans.

"Come, let me help you master this surging power." Eula smiled kindly, "In fact, you have also noticed it yourself, right? You can't master this power very well."

It is difficult to say whether this is more of a guidance or a revenge.

"It's not uncommon to have a chance to talk to a god." Jiang Qing thought about it and decided to stimulate Eula. "But if you want to gain the favor of a god, this is a bit tricky."

"Fortunately, I succeeded."

Eula's smile grew brighter.

The Wind God of Mondstadt is a rare exception among the gods.

He is the type who will never show up.

No one can be blamed for Lawrence's failure, but Jiang Qing still feels that when granting power, one should also consider restricting power.

However, expansion is indeed their own problem.

The reason why Eula was so angry was probably because she was venting her anger on others for no reason.

Jiang Qing didn't really care.

He did take advantage of the situation, but there was indeed something wrong with him.

Well said. Don’t say that again next time.

So in the next half day, Jiang Qing experienced the secrets of West Wind Swordsmanship more closely.

To a large extent, Jiang Qing's rapid progress in West Wind swordsmanship is thanks to Eula's training.

The cost is just a little bit high.

After the "competition", Eula still reluctantly confirmed: "Did you really get the favor of the God of Rock just like that?"

She still wasn't willing to accept it.

"What do you think of 'just like that'?" Jiang Qing said tiredly, "I think I'm doing okay."

"But, after all, he is a favored one from God!"

This has something to do with Eula's experience.

In Mondstadt's history, there is only one person who can be verified to be favored by God, Vanessa.

Later, Vanessa reached the top of Sky Island and opened up the so-called "Original God".

Although Vanessa did not show up later, in all historical records, she is the pioneer who completed the great record of transformation from human to god.

"The favor of God is not as precious as you think." Jiang Qing kneaded his bones, and said with a bit of relief, "As mortals, we always try our best to imagine how precious the gift of God is."

"In fact, the favor of the gods is not a precious thing to the demon gods."

They do not grant people divine favor, because although they have it, they do not have the mission and responsibility to save all living beings.

This favor actually does not cost them much, but they do not owe humanity anything.

"It may not be very precious to the demon gods, but it may not be so precious to mortals."

Eula was not comforted.

She also understood that the value of something does not depend on the giver, but on the seeker.

If he is hungry and cold, the value of a bowl of hot soup is already the value of a life.

This is what merchants do, selling people things they need.

Some businessmen create new paths, create needs for people, and then sell them what they need.

The value of God's favor has not been exhausted.

What currently restricts Jiang Qing's strength improvement is only his physical fitness.

His body could only withstand this level of increase. Even if the old man was willing to give him more elemental power, his body would not be able to bear it.

But on the other hand, as his physical fitness improved, his elemental power would also increase rapidly.

During this period of time, as long as Jiang Qing works hard, his strength will improve.

What else could Jiang Qing say?

Eula has already made a preconceived notion.

She was not jealous of this matter, but because of the experience brought about by her surname, she was extremely enthusiastic about things like God's favor.

"You are really greedy."

After a moment of silence, Eula spoke softly.

"Many people are curious about why you do these things, but we didn't expect that the person you want to cooperate with is not the Seven Stars or the Immortals, but the God of Rock."

"The Seven Stars and the Immortals can give many precious things." Jiang Qing thought for a moment, then explained, "But these things will not be of much value in the future."

Wealth, power...Jiang Qing certainly has the opportunity to obtain these things.

If the world was at peace, for example, if time could go back, before the Fatui officially took action, Jiang Qing would be willing to pursue these things.

But no.

Ever since the Fatui began to act and Ying awakened, the future of this continent has been shrouded in dark clouds, but it is foreseeable that the shadow of war will never disappear.

Wealth and power actually have great influence. If the enemy is the same human being, Jiang Qing will pursue these as well.

The problem is, the enemy is clearly not the enemy.

If you don't have power, you will be like the civilians under the rule of the shogunate, the people of Mond under the harassment of the Wind Dragon... Your life and death are all in the hands of others, and life and death depends entirely on prayer and luck.

If you are lucky, you will survive. If you are unlucky, you will have to start over.

The pinnacle of power is nothing more than the level of Great Sage or Three Devotees.

Even the shrine magistrate was stabbed in the back twice by Sanbei, and the Kamisato family almost lost their seat as shrine magistrate.

Not to mention the Great Sage. Obviously, under Yingmei's manipulation, he was lucky to be able to put down his scepter and enjoy the prison.

To put it bluntly, he also has to start his life over again.

This world is too dangerous, so dangerous that neither wealth nor power can protect you.

"So you know something... I can only understand a little bit." Eula sighed, "I encountered troubles when hunting in the wild before."

She seldom shared her past with Jiang Qing, which was mostly unremarkable and nothing good about it.

There was nothing wrong with sharing happy things, but Eula couldn't say that she was always being targeted by one person and despised by another.

"Although I didn't have any power or wealth, at that time, the only things I could rely on were the swordsmanship inherited from my family and the elemental power controlled by the Eye of God."

"Isn't this what you're worried about?"

Because of the fear of such a future, one can only master the skills and strength to kill beasts or enemies before the future comes.

Eula could understand.

If she neglected to hone her skills and elemental powers, she would regret her laziness at some point.

However, in order to avoid this future, she redoubled her efforts, and Jiang Qing chose to make a deal with the God of Rock.

What kind of terrible future does he know that is worth acting so nervously and rashly?
Eula didn't ask.

Maybe Jiang Qing would tell you if you asked her, but she obviously can't solve this kind of problem.

Jiang Qing has already chosen to seek help from the gods, so she is definitely not qualified to intervene in future troubles.

If you can't solve the problem, what's the point of asking? It's just making things difficult for yourself...

"Yes." Jiang Qing nodded, "Actually, it's not all about worrying about the future."

In any heroic story, villagers are always present as witnesses and storytellers.

Jiang Qing doesn't want to be just a witness, but as a villager in the story, he also has a certain chance of living to see the hero defeat the devil and save the world.

"Actually, the reason I did this was out of hatred."

“Hatred?” Eula tilted her head. “I can’t tell at all.”

She seemed to have never seen Jiang Qing show his disgust towards someone. Whether in expression or words, he rarely mentioned these things.

"Everyone knows that I came back from Inazuma, and everyone knows that I hate Inazuma."

Jiang Qing shrugged.

He was too embarrassed to tell Eula that when he first came here, he thought he was the male protagonist and could win over all the pretty girls in the original god, and then gain the lifespan and power of a god.

Then the shogunate's samurai used two punches to make him understand the reality and the truth.

Might is right.

Even now, Jiang Qing is very glad that the other party used his fists instead of the samurai sword at his waist to teach him the truth.

Otherwise there would be no escape story to follow.

He was too ashamed to tell this story to anyone, even to Xiao Palace he only spoke vaguely about it.

But Jiang Qing always remembered this incident.

He returned to Inazuma not to prove that he could become the leading man, but simply to correct Inazuma's evil social structure.

Or to put it more bluntly, he just wanted to see Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke fail, then be dragged into a prison van and paraded through the streets, and finally have their heads chopped off.

But how to say this?

When Jiang Qing had this idea, Hiiragi Shinsuke and Kujo Takayuki didn't even know that such a person existed.

They did not push for the lockdown to target any particular person, it was purely for personal gain.

Jiang Qing was just an innocent unlucky guy who was affected by their plan.

How can I hate this?
Just like the Fatui's first action, they simply moved a step, and those who were affected lost everything, it was not their intention.

It's quite boring.

Fortunately, Eula didn't ask.

She lowered her eyes and looked calm.

"How long have we known each other?"

Eula asked rather abruptly.

"How many months?"

Jiang Qing replied casually, "It won't be long anyway."

"A few months... During this time, Lawrence came to an end, and at the cost of this, we left Mondstadt."

"Then during this time in Liyue, you helped me and Lawrence get back on his feet."

"Of course, you have never concealed your purpose. Whether it is me or Lawrence, these are just a stepping stone for you."

"But it is true that I am indebted to others. After all, these resources are piled up in my hands, and it is not easy to get the same result."

Jiang Qing's eyelids twitched slightly.

Damn, this development... always makes him feel a little familiar.

She hugged her knees with her hands, looking relaxed.

"Jiang Qing, is there anything else I can do to help you?"

Fortunately, the question she asked was not the one Jiang Qing was worried about.

"You've helped me a lot." Jiang Qing replied, "Isn't it all thanks to your help that I have this strength?"

"Really?" She raised her head and smiled brightly, "Then shouldn't I try my best to teach you something?"

"Goodbye." Jiang Qing shook his body, "Let's take a rest first."

This teaching is very tiring and he can hardly bear it anymore.

"Okay." Eula nodded, "Let's take a rest first."
