Original God, but the real world

Chapter 117-116-Cornerstone

Chapter 117-116-Cornerstone
Jiang Qing didn't know how their first meeting went.

This Coral Palace Xinhai showed a level of discouragement and pessimism that he had never noticed before, so much so that some of his initial appearance arrangements were disrupted.

Also.

In the plot, she can only perform in front of Ying, and all the plots are for the service of Ying.

Unless she goes to a certain place, the player will not be able to see the joys and sorrows of these people.

As long as Ying is in Inazuma City, no one will know whether Coral Palace's heart is also somewhere shedding tears of sorrow after his impotent rage.

The story is told to Ying. If she doesn't appear, the story will never begin.

But in the real world, no one's joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness is expressed purely for another person.

Jiang Qing ignored this point, so his opening had some flaws.

But it doesn't seem like a big problem, after all, he still joined the game.

Jiang Qing became the captain of Swordfish Team 2 ahead of schedule.

The squad is the internal structure of the resistance army. For example, the current resistance general Goro was also a member of the [Round Eel Second Squad] in the past.

This is a very obvious promotion system.

Squad member, squad captain, general.

But the position held by Jiang Qing is quite special.

How should we describe this special position? It is probably a special position set up purely to accommodate these outsiders who have certain status and abilities.

Despite the name of Coral Palace Heart Sea, it actually has almost no influence on the resistance army.

Unless he received orders from Xin Hai of Coral Palace, Jiang Qing would not be able to fully command even his subordinates.

But it's really well handled.

In essence it is similar to an honorary knight, giving status and respect but no real power.

If you are dissatisfied, the other party has given you enough status.

You are placed in a high position just after you arrive, but you are still not satisfied with it? That's your problem.

If you are satisfied, that's even better.

Coral Palace Xinhai is not doing charity. She is willing to give you honor and status because she needs you to do something.

Use honor and status to drive the other party, and take advantage of the other party's strength or identity to do things for your own purposes.

This lady, the ornamental fish who had given up hope, did not really give up.

She said that there was no hope at all, but she was the one who hoped for hope more than anyone else.

It's quite interesting.

At present, the captain of this special team is actually an honor on paper, but paper honor is also an honor, and the soldiers of the resistance will also be envious when they mention it.

The lack of actual power also shows that Coral Palace Xinhai does not trust Jiang Qing very much, so she made the simplest decision, giving him status and respect, but not letting Jiang Qing touch actual power.

Very well handled.

Jiang Qing had no objection.

He had no desire for power within the rebels. In fact, his desire for power had come to an end when he received the favor of Morax.

That was the first time Jiang Qing felt that everything was going according to his plan, and the first time he felt that he could influence the direction of the world.

Even though he failed, it didn't stop him from continuing on this path.

Moreover, the resistance is actually very stable internally.

"So you don't have to worry about me affecting the status of the Coral Palace."

Being calm doesn't mean there are no opportunities.

He didn't want to seize power within the resistance, but Jiang Qing always wanted Coral Palace Xinhai to be willing to accept his advice at certain times.

So he had to do something.

Looking at Mr. Inu Daisho who was sitting upright in front of him, Jiang Qing gave a kind smile.

"The base of the resistance army is actually Kaiji Island, and in the past few hundred years, Kaiji Island has always been ruled by the priestesses of the Coral Palace lineage."

"The people have long recognized the Coral Palace's rule over Haizhi Island."

Goro was not affected.

Coral Palace Xinhai would not mention her suspicion of Jiang Qing in front of anyone, because cooperation with Beidou was crucial to her plan.

Beidou used his reputation to guarantee Jiang Qing, and any overt spying and questioning on her part was a provocation and suspicion of Beidou.

But this does not mean that everyone has no opinion on this airborne captain of the squad.

Even Ying, who is famous all over the world and even has a wanted order issued by the general himself, needs to show his abilities in front of his teammates.

What’s more, he is an unknown person like Jiang Qing.

Furthermore, the honor and promotion system has always been a constraint from the upper level to the lower level.

Just like something like a lordship, its greatest value lies in its rarity, so the emperor would never confer a title on a minister at will.

Unless he has made extraordinary achievements, or he is already dead.

The reason why privilege is privilege is that it only exists for a few people.

It is a power that most people have access to, it is not a privilege.

Jiang Qing inexplicably became a squad leader, which was considered an unpleasant behavior for almost everyone at the same level as him.

It was of course unpleasant that Jiang Qing easily got what they had paid so much for.

He also undermined the promotion mechanism.

If Jiang Qing really showed special talents, the soldiers would be able to accept him.

But as I said before, he is a nobody.

This is hard to accept.

Wu Lang is by no means the only one who is dissatisfied with Jiang Qing.

But this is the decision of Coral Palace Xinhai. They can be dissatisfied, but they cannot express their dissatisfaction.

It's easy to provoke Jiang Qing.

But this is also a blatant provocation to the Coral Palace's Xinhai orders.

Few people in the resistance army think that they are smarter than Coral Palace Xinhai. Since she is willing to give Jiang Qing this status, everyone naturally does not think that Jiang Qing is really worthless.

But I'm still very unhappy.

Things that you have worked hard to get, or even things that you may not be able to get, are obtained by others just like that.

Wu Lang's silence made Jiang Qing realize how much control Coral Palace had over the rebels.

This is based on the Coral Palace's orthodoxy for Kaijima for hundreds of years and her personal talents.

But that's the rebels of the past.

"General Goro, there are problems within the resistance."

He was talking nonsense... No, he was talking about something that hasn't happened yet but is happening.

"What did you say?"

Wu Lang's expression instantly cracked.

His tone rose, his calmness turning into anger.

"You seem very angry?"

Jiang Qing, on the contrary, took his time.

"Mr. Jiang, you are slandering my comrades."

Goro moved away a little.

He is an archer after all, and once there is a risk of fighting an enemy, he will naturally choose to keep his distance. It is said that when Kujo Sara is fighting, he will shout a few words "The constant way is magnificent, and the gods are eternal", and then Goro will shout "Everyone follow me closely."

It's quite brave.

The archers charged ahead and had the soldiers follow them.

It’s all thanks to the elemental power and the Eye of God.

"If it weren't for the support that Lord Coral Palace showed you, you would have paid the price for this statement."

You can't tell what the elemental power and physical fitness are like just by looking at them.

If Ying didn't take action personally, no one would be able to tell that he was a top boss who could teach all kinds of bosses a lesson just by using his edgeless sword.

But Wu Lang had rich combat experience, and he could clearly see that Jiang Qing was lazy in fighting.

Putting aside the unrealistic possibility that the opponent's fighting skills were so far superior to his own that he could not see anything, Wu Lang certainly believed that the opponent had basically no combat experience.

How strong can a person without combat experience be?
This is quite normal.

Ying doesn't reach the top in one step. Each map unlocks an elemental force. It is more of a restoration of the original power than an enhancement.

But Jiang Qing is the exception.

Currently, a small part of his power comes from the golden finger, and most of it comes from divine grace.

He is the exception who cannot utilize his own power but does have considerable strength.

Goro didn't know, but out of caution he moved away a little, after all, he was an archer.

But in fact, he was not very afraid of Jiang Qing's possible counterattack.

Jiang Qing certainly had no intention of dueling with Wu Lang here.

This is the rebel camp. Are we going to duel with the rebel general here?
"Why did the rebels become the enemy of the shogunate?" Jiang Qing said slowly, "General Goro, with your knowledge, have you never thought about this question?"

"Because they rebelled against the Eye Hunting Order!" Goro was filled with righteous indignation. "The Eye Hunting Order brought many disasters. Lord Coral Palace chose to raise the flag of resistance, and then the shogunate naturally chose to conquer him."

Jiang Qing clapped his hands, and his words sounded like he deserved a beating.

"Well said, very well said."

Rebellion against the Eye Hunting Order? That's a nice excuse.

"One more question. Haizhi Island should not have been taken over by the shogunate, right?" Jiang Qing asked, "If Coral Palace Xinhai wants to hide the fact that she has the Eye of God, do you think she can't do it?"

The Eye of God will not cause problems once it is taken off. Diluk himself once left the Eye of God in Mondstadt and fought wits and courage with the Fatui in the North for several years.

If it really doesn't work, why not just hide the Eye of God somewhere temporarily and insist that you don't have it?

Probably not.

According to Jiang Qing's idea, for Coral Palace Xinhai, the Eye Hunting Order was just an excuse, and resisting the Eye Hunting Order was just a cover.

"What do you want to say?" Goro noticed an answer he didn't like.

"Don't you understand?" Jiang Qing said with obvious nonchalance, "Resistance should be based on the hope of victory."

Or there is absolutely no hope, but you have to do it.

It’s just that the latter is rare. Of course there are things that we still have to do even when there is no hope, but they are too few.

The rebellion in the heart of Coral Palace was not the former.

"For the people of Kaiji Island, the Eye Hunting Order is obviously not a decree that they must resist."

"This was issued by the shogunate, targeting all those who possess the God's Eye in Inazuma."

But it can be hidden. Even residents like Yoshimiya who live in Inazuma Castle can hide it from his God's Eye.

She handed in a forged Eye of God and even had connections with many such people, but the shogunate didn't even notice the problem.

"You have plenty of ways, whether it's asking the people of Kaijima to keep silent about the shogunate, or simply forging a fake Eye of God and handing it over."

"There are many ways to deal with the problem, but Coral Palace Xinhai chose the most resolute one."

Jiang Qing paused, "She chose to confront the shogunate."

Some problems have no solution, but the problem faced by Coral Palace Xinhai is obviously not one of them.

On the surface, she only needs to hand over the Eye of God.

If Xiao Palace could find a craftsman who could forge the Eye of God, then Xinhai of Coral Palace should also be able to find a similar method to deal with the Eye Hunting Order.

But it has no value.

Because the Eye Hunting Order is definitely not just a threat to the Eye of God for the Coral Palace's heart.

"This is for the innocent people who were killed by the Eye Hunting Order!" Goro was extremely angry.

He had a good excuse.

The reason why Coral Palace Xinhai rebelled was because she sympathized with the innocent people who were killed by harsh rule.

Well, it's not bad.

"You, a foreigner, don't understand the cruelty of the Eye Hunting Order! Those people clearly gave everything for their persistence, but in the end they paid everything for it!" He gritted his teeth, "Have you seen those who have lost the Eye of God?"

"I have seen it." Jiang Qing nodded. "In the early days of the Eye Hunting Order, I'm afraid there were people who offered their God's Eye purely out of admiration for the general."

After all, if something hadn’t gone wrong, who would have known that the price of losing the Eye of God would be so cruel.

"There are people like this on Kaiji Island. You haven't seen them. I took you... Have you seen them?" Goro was stunned. "You have seen them. Don't you have any sympathy for their plight?"

"Don't you also have the Eye of God?"

He grabbed the Eye of God on Jiang Qing's wrist and spoke angrily.

"Can't you conceal the existence of the Eye of God? Can't you fake it?" Jiang Qing said calmly, "Even if it's true, how many people will die on Kaijima? If you rebel against the shogunate, how many people will die on Kaijima?"

Calculating the cost is something everyone can do.

It’s just that people are not always bound by the constraints of gain and giving.

We all have the potential to go crazy. When we go crazy, we don’t care about gains or losses.

But the heart of Coral Palace will not go crazy.

She is the living god priestess of Kaijima Island. From birth, she has been the natural owner of this island.

With power on our shoulders comes responsibility.

It was impossible for her to die with all the people of Haizhi Island who trusted her, because these people trusted her and chose her in the hope that she could lead them to a better life.

"We have a chance to defeat the shogunate!" Goro's words were not strong.

"Oh, right, right." Jiang Qing nodded repeatedly, "Of course I believe this, but you won't tell me that you still have the confidence to defeat the general?"

There is no such idiot in the world.

Do you think that the shogun will really remain indifferent if you say you are rebelling against the shogunate?
The shogunate is certainly not the same as the shogun, but the shogunate is a tool used by the shogun to rule Inazuma.

Resisting the shogunate meant being dissatisfied with the rule of the Raiden Shogun. If they kept a low profile, they would be crushed by the shogunate's army.

But if they dare to win, General Raiden will surely not be able to sit firmly in the castle tower.

Wulang's palm lost its strength instantly.

He had the courage to confront the general, but that did not prevent him from knowing full well that confronting the general was a dead end.

Doing something even though knowing it is impossible is because "impossible" is only impossible in objective conditions, but "doing it" is a choice made by a person without regard to pros and cons after weighing the pros and cons and making a subjective choice.

"Look, you also admit that General Raiden will stand on the side of the shogunate, and General Raiden is almost invincible in Inazuma." Jiang Qing became more sincere, "So why would the rebels rebel against the Eye Hunting Order?"

"After the Eastern Expedition led by Enroha Ujirenobu, Kaijima lost once. After that, Kaijima was incorporated into Inazuma."

"Although the general did not directly eliminate the priestesses who believed in Orobas, or even eliminate the beliefs related to Orobas, Kaijima had already compromised once at that time."

"The strength comparison between the two sides is even worse now than it was back then, but Kaijima has chosen the path that will cost the most. Do you really not consider the actual situation at all? Or do you believe that Coral Palace Xinhai can deal with Ming Shen?"

Wu Lang hesitated to speak.

Of course he believed in Coral Palace Xinhai. This was not only the orthodox position of the Coral Palace lineage, but also the wisdom shown by Coral Palace Xinhai when fighting against the Shogunate army.

But to say that he believes that the heart of the Coral Palace can fight against the general... the current human god priestess is just a priestess, and the sea god Omikami worshipped by the Coral Palace is just a dead soul under the sword of the Thunder God.

During the Demon War, General Raiden killed more than just Orobas.

How could the priestess worshiping Oropus possibly deal with such an opponent who could only surrender his head?
"Then according to what you said, it is impossible for Lady Coral Palace not to understand, so why did she choose to resist the Eye Hunting Order?"

Goro had to calm down.

He acknowledged Jiang Qing's value, although he did not think Jiang Qing could solve the problem.

But being able to see the problem is at least a skill.

"Because the Eye Hunting Order is not just for those who possess the Eye of God."

Entered the game.

The Coral Palace’s Xinhai’s control over the rebels is largely due to the Coral Palace’s righteous cause.

Almost all the generals promoted by the rebels in the early days were from Haizhi Island, and they naturally accepted the rule of the Coral Palace.

On this basis, as long as the Coral Palace’s heart sea ability is above average, he will be their destined ruler.

What's more, she is extremely capable.

But this does not mean that her rule is unshakable.

"After the Eye Hunting Order, many people who possessed the Eye of God and were unwilling to pay tribute to the general joined the resistance army."

"Because their refusal would be a violation of the Shogun's orders. Although Inazuma's territory is large, there is not an inch of land that does not belong to the Shogun."

Jiang Qingyi is worth it.

"Except... Kaijima and the resistance." Goro added consciously.

This is also the information revealed by Kamisato Ayaka in the plot. After Ying was issued a wanted order by the general, the Egret Princess only prepared one way for her.

Join the resistance.

Jiang Qing smiled slightly: "You have accepted so many outsiders, most of whom have the Eye of God, and their bravery is better than that of ordinary people."

"So their promotion speed must be pretty fast."

"In the past, the generals of the resistance army were all from Kaijima."

"But now...how many people here are still from Kaishima?"

The people of Haizhi Island recognize the Coral Palace, but non-Haizhi Islanders may not agree.

"This is the hidden danger within the resistance army you mentioned..." Goro breathed a sigh of relief, "Even I can't guarantee the thoughts of every soldier under my command, but this hidden danger will not erupt."

"Because of the heavy pressure from the shogunate, they won't have such an idea."

These people are certainly not pushovers as they are able to say no to the power of the shogunate.

But it is not necessary to seize the military power of the rebels.

The rebels' supplies are all supplied by Haizhi Island, and these outsiders can only have an impact at most.

Besides, being a rebel doesn't seem to be a career with a bright future.

Under the general's heavy pressure, everyone could reopen at any time.

No normal person would think of seizing power from the Coral Palace because the benefits are limited and the difficulty is extremely high.

"That's the problem."

For someone of Kamisato Ayaka's prominent position, the first people that come to mind when they are hostile to the shogunate are the rebels.

It can be seen that before Ying, the Coral Palace Heart Sea had already accepted many "allies" who rejected the Eye Hunting Order.

But here's the thing.

There is no need for Coral Palace Xinhai to sympathize with these people.

The Eye Hunting Order must start from the core of the shogunate, that is, Narukami Island.

By the time it spread to Haizhi Island, it must have gone through a period of development and preparation.

Under such circumstances, Coral Palace Xinhai chose to accept these people, which meant that she had already decided not to surrender before the shogunate took action.

However, given the general's overwhelming military power, such resistance was obviously not necessary.

Unless there is a reason that can force Coral Palace Xinhai to resist.

"To ordinary people, the Eye Hunting Order is just a special order targeting the Eye of God."

"But for the top leaders of Kaijima, this is an order that will inevitably take effect."

Wulang was a little confused.

"That is to say, no matter whether you handed over the Eye of God or not, and no matter whether the Eye of God is real or fake, in short, for the shogunate, the high-ranking officials of Kaijima must have handed over a fake Eye of God."

Or simply, the people of Kaizhi Island just refused to hand over the Eye of God.

The Eye Hunting Order targets the Eye of God, but whether a person has the Eye of God and whether what he takes out is genuine are all judged by the executive warriors of the Tenryo Bugyo.

Since it was their judgment, then Kujo Takayuki naturally had the ability to prevent a person from handing over the Eye of God.

So this person needs to face a little bit of power from the shogunate.

This was a very straightforward statement, and Goro understood it instantly.

If this is the attitude of the shogunate towards Kaijima, then Coral Palace Xinhai can only raise the banner of resistance against the Eye Hunting Order first, and then recruit those who are also unwilling to be stripped of the Eye of God.

This was of course a fruitless resistance, but even though it had no result, she could still make the shogunate pay some price in the process.

In comparison, he died in obscurity and without any resistance.

She chose a more decisive approach.

The cornerstone of the resistance is that the shogunate will not let go of Kaijima.
