Original God, but the real world

Chapter 121-One Heart Pure Land

This was the first time that Ying had such an understanding of her identity.

In Mond, she accompanied Wendy to perform a whole play before she got the opportunity to talk to the gods.

In Liyue, she first searched for immortals, then accompanied Zhongli to bury Morax, and finally had the opportunity to ask the gods on Yujing Terrace.

But in Inazuma, because of Ganyu's identity, she and Ganyu were almost respectfully carried into the castle tower.

Theoretically, Ganyu is not Liyue's messenger, and her identity is not worthy of a personal meeting with Ming Shen.

But this does not prevent Ganyu from actually receiving the same or even greater respect as a diplomatic ambassador.

Not only because she is an immortal, but also because of her relationship with Yae Godson.

With the help of Ganyu, she easily reached the castle tower and met Inazuma's God of Thunder.

The whole process was so easy that Paimon couldn't help but pull the girl's hair.

“Is it a little too easy this time?”

The petite Paimon looked around, speaking timidly.

Ying suddenly felt a mysterious force appear, as if a chess piece was inserted there.

She shook her head to get rid of the illusion.

"It's okay." She touched Paimon's head. "We have met two gods. They are both good people, aren't they?"

It is true that he is a bit weird, but he is not a bad person.

Presumably, the God of Thunder, who is one of the Seven Rulings together with them, must have his reasons behind issuing such a strict decree as the Eye Hunting Order - it can't be that he did this just to create trouble for the Inazuma people, right?

How could there be a god who treats his subjects like this?

"Don't be nervous." Ganyu said with a smile, "Although it is not a formal diplomatic visit, Qixing should have given me the status of a diplomatic ambassador by now."

She is confident.

After Osel, Zhongli used the magic of dream communication to inform those who should know that Morax was not dead.

No matter what others think, she knows that Liyue is still a country with gods.

Before leaving Liyue, she specifically asked for leave from the old man.

With God in Liyue, Ganyu has enough confidence.

"Ningguang and the others know that you want to visit the Seven Gods. In fact, if that is your purpose, the identity of a diplomatic ambassador is more suitable for you." At this point, Ganyu said apologetically, "But you are not from Liyue, and your purpose... is too strange."

"Giving you such an identity will not only restrict your choices, but may also bring trouble to Liyue."

"So this time, let me take you to see the Thunder God. This is the return gift they prepared for you."

What about posting a few missing person notices... How can such things be justified for people's efforts in climbing the mountain, fighting against the Fatui, and facing Osiel?

Giving the other person something precious enough that they want can be considered a return gift.

"I understand." Ying pursed her lips.

She was curious about Ganyu's real purpose, but they were friends after all, and the other party didn't have to tell her everything he wanted to do.

Now it seems that it was originally intended to be a gift to myself.

"Liyue will support you, Ying."

Ganyu gently hugged the princess-like girl.

"I have learned about the affairs between the Emperor and you. You help the Emperor solve the problem, and then the Emperor gives you the answer to a question."

"I can't help you reach an agreement with God, but if God is willing to cooperate with you, then I will help you fulfill your agreement with Him and let you get what you want."

She smiled and said, "With me and Kamiko here in Inazuma, there shouldn't be any trouble."

The contracts between Ying and the gods are often about things that they cannot do, rather than things that they cannot do.

Otherwise, the plot of the game will not be able to advance at all.

Ganyu is full of confidence.

Based on the information she knew, she was of course full of confidence.

Ying was only doing things that some gods were unwilling to do. Venti insisted that he was a bard. The old man used his plan to test the people of Liyue. None of them could use their status as gods to solve problems.

With this kind of problem in Inazuma, Ganyu couldn't think of anything she couldn't solve.

The Eightfold Divine Child has status and position, and she can also influence the will of General Thunder in times of danger.

With Ying and her together, what trouble can't be solved?
Unless the trouble itself is the general, Inazuma shouldn't have any problems.

Unfortunately, starting with Inazuma, Ying's job became something that even a god would find difficult to do.

"Thank you."

Ying pursed her lips and spoke softly.

From beginning to end, Ganyu never asked her why she wanted to make a deal with the gods, but only focused on the event itself and was willing to help.

This is the best attitude.

"The two messengers please stop."

The Okuji people guarding outside the castle tower stopped the two men.

Shinsuke Hiiragi had notified everyone in advance, but the necessary procedures still had to be followed.

This is a process of notification and then permission.

It's not complicated, but it can't be skipped.

Shinsuke Hiiragi could only say that there were two guests from Liyue who were related to Yae no Miyabi.

But let alone the fact that she is related to Yae Goddess, even if Yae Goddess comes, the general will have to stop him even if he disagrees.

Being unable to stop it is a fact, trying to stop it is an attitude.

Ganyu naturally knew this process and looked quite relaxed.

Ying followed Ganyu and was naturally very quiet.

A moment later, the two men pushed open the door of the castle tower with the floating objects and saw General Raiden kneeling on the high platform.

The Lord of Takenami-jin, who is so powerful that he can overpower Inazuma, is like a stone statue, quiet and steady, without any movement.

Ganyu took a step forward and bowed slightly.

"Liyue Immortals, Ganyu, come to see Master Mingshen!"

An audience is still necessary, and etiquette must be observed.

But Ganyu is not an ordinary mortal after all. She is one of the immortals of Liyue and a fairy who once followed Morax.

If it was Osel, she would have to kneel down even if she didn't want to.

That's the old man's enemy.

However, the general and the old man are colleagues, so it is sufficient to be polite to the general, and there is no need to prostrate yourself.

"Ganyu... the benevolent beast Qilin, a follower of Morax."

The general raised his eyes, as if recalling something.

"Inazuma does not welcome any outsiders, but for Morax's sake, I will allow you to stay here temporarily."

"Finish your work and leave Inazuma as soon as possible."

The thunderstorm off the coast of Inazuma was the will of the general, but He was not concerned about the situation off the coast.

This is also why ships can sail through thunderstorms.

The thunder controlled by His power and the thunder controlled by Him personally are two different forces.

"Yes, General."

Ganyu responded.

She had no ability to refuse, nor was she qualified to negotiate.

Ganyu could only be grateful that General Lei Dian was willing to meet with her.

After dealing with Ganyu, the general looked at Ying.

"I'm an adventurer," Ying didn't know what to say for a moment, "Um, do I want to see you too?"

Every god she came into contact with had the appearance of a god, and there was no need to worry about understanding when interacting with them.

Do we need to be polite when treating drunkards and social outcasts?
"That's fine." The general stood up. "According to the intelligence gathered by the Ojie people, you have the ability to control elemental forces without using the Eye of God."

This is not particularly unusual.

The Eightfold Son of God was first a great demon and then the Eye of God.

Even without using the Eye of God, she is able to control elemental forces.

This is even more true for Ganyu. Two thousand years ago, she was active in the Demon War. At that time, there was no Eye of God, but she was of course able to use elemental power.

"As a mortal, you are somewhat special."

She paused and glanced at Ganyu.

For some special cases, it is not worth taking direct action.

"Of course Ying is special!" Paimon put his hands on his hips.

She was intimidated by General Thunder's majesty at first. After all, this general was nothing like the two gods she knew. Instead, he was full of majesty.

But when it comes to Ying, she is not afraid.

Ying was quick to act and covered Paimeng's mouth with one hand.

"Being special is not a good thing." General Raiden didn't care. "Whatever you want, finish your business as soon as possible and leave Inazuma."

"Both the National Lockdown Order and the Eye Hunting Order are about to be completed."

"Before that, if you cannot leave Inazuma, let the person who followed you take you back."

As long as Ying didn't reveal her ability to control the three elements at the same time, the general really didn't need to have too much murderous intent towards her.

What's more, behind the other party is a god who is supposed to be dead.

"I want to ask you for answers to some questions."

Ying spoke bluntly.

Although the contact time was not long, this Thunder General seemed... to be quite straightforward.

So there is no need to hide it.

"In exchange for the answers that the gods know, you are not worth it." General Raiden's tone remained unchanged, "Inazuma has nothing for you to do."

“If you can’t do things, you have no value.”

"There is no value. You can't ask God for anything."

Ying felt helpless.

After General Lei Dian said this, she was completely helpless.

Her previous interactions with Wendy and Zhongli were almost like transactions, where Ying helped them do something, and they gave Ying the answer to a question in return.

But since some gods need an outside adventurer to do things, there are naturally some gods who don't.

Ying had no way out when faced with such a god.

Because the other party's words were not bad, he just stated a very simple fact quite straightforwardly.

I don't need you to do anything, so naturally I don't need to quote you any price.

What can Fluorine do?
She couldn't possibly say something like "Why don't you think about it again? You must need my help," right?
The general is neither Zhongli nor Wendy. He sits on his own throne, and the entire country works hard for His will.

He doesn't need Ying to do anything, because the shogunate can do it for him.

Ganyu was helpless.

There is nothing that can be done about it.

The old man faked his death to arrange his own funeral, and he needed someone to help.

But General Raiden is sitting in the castle tower, and everyone inside Inazuma is his subject, working for his will.

How could such a god entrust any outsider whose identity was unknown?

This is simply a slap in the face of the shogunate, telling the three magistrates of the shogunate that the three of you are useless and you want me to find someone else to handle the affairs!
He has an entire shogunate, so how could he leave the problem to outsiders?

The prerequisite for Ganyu to help Ying is that the other party must at least get the commission from God.

No?

What else can we do if there is no such thing? Let’s take the boat home.

"It's not like there's nothing wrong, is it?" The big demon lady pushed the door open with a folding fan, smiling, "My Lord General, have you forgotten something?"

"Yaegumi."

General Raiden looked up, "You shouldn't be here."

"Oh my, it's so rare for me to find time to come here." She said with a bit of resentment, "Do you really not care about the affairs of Narukami Taisha?"

"Something's wrong with the sacred cherry tree."

General Raiden automatically filtered the other party's tone and said, "It must be the Great Purification of the Divine Sakura."

"This kind of thing has always been the responsibility of Narukami Taisha. There is no need to ask an outsider for help."

"Or are you unable to handle even this kind of thing?"

"What about the resistance forces on Kaiji Island? Do you also insist that it doesn't matter?" Yae Shinko asked with a smile.

"The resistance army still has value in existence." General Lei Dian said calmly, "Tianling Fengxing is a little greedy, but he's doing a good job."

Ying and Ganyu automatically took two steps back.

I always feel like they are intervening in something that they shouldn't be intervening in.

[Jiang Qing told me that Shen Zi might need Ying and me to do something... There is a problem between her and the general.]

[And Jiang Qing firmly believed that Ying would choose the Son of God, not the general. ]

Ganyu narrowed her eyes slightly.

Jiang Qing had made a solemn promise before, but this no longer made sense.

Ying obviously has a request to the general. If Yaezun Shenzi and General Lei Dian have disagreements and disputes, there is no reason for her not to support the general, but to support Yaezun Shenzi instead.

The conflict between these two people seems a little difficult to understand.

The two people who were not very clear about Inazuma's internal affairs looked at each other, and then with similar confusion.

what happened?
I do not know.

Yae Shinko was not disappointed.

She already knew the answer before she came.

"Then if I were to hire this stranger, you would have no objection, would you?"

The big demon smiled gently.

"If you can ensure that there are no accidents during the Shenying Great Purification, and you can pay the price she wants."

General Raiden looked away.

"I'm sorry, but I refuse." Ying shook her head, "I don't want to participate in this so-called divine cherry purification ceremony."

From any perspective, Ying had no reason to choose Yae Shinto and give up the general.

The relationship between these two people is a little subtle, but at least it seems that there is a reserved opposition.

Ying had asked Ganyu about this Eightfold Son of God and knew that she was just a five-hundred-year-old fox demon lady.

When something unexpected happened in Kanriya five hundred years ago, the other party was probably still a little fox.

She might know something, but definitely not as much as General Lei Dian knew.

Of course, Ying seemed to have no choice.

After all, the general had no intention of entrusting her to do anything.

Even so, Ying didn't want to participate in any divine cherry purification ceremony.

She had no extra emotions towards Yae Shinko herself, but her relationship with Thor was almost obviously stiff.

It doesn't make sense to do something so obviously risky just for the sake of possible intelligence.

This is not the beginning anymore. At that time, Ying didn't know about Kong. As long as there was a possibility, she would take the risk and try it.

But now she knew that Kong was still alive and well.

In this situation, in order to not know whether there is any news or not, and whether the news is critical or not, we have to get involved in the trouble related to Thor.

Ying refused.

If it was a commission from General Lei Dian, she wouldn't mind.

Because of the other party’s identity, the entrusted reward can definitely be executed.

But Yae Shinko does not have this identity.

Her status as a follower of Thundergod does not guarantee that Ying will get the reward she wants.

For adventurers, it would be hard to be interested in a commission without any guaranteed reward, right?
"Alas, even though the general rejected you, would you still choose the general?" The fox demon's ears twitched slightly, with a slightly distressed expression, "Actually, I also know some information. Are you really not curious at all?"

This person is a bit dangerous.

But she emphasized it twice. Could it be that she really knew something?

"The difficulty of the Divine Sakura Purification is that ordinary people do not know how to seal it, and the filth that needs to be removed is also very dangerous."

"But Naruto-jin Taisha has priestesses who are responsible for this matter. They know the process and steps of sealing, and you only need to deal with a little filth."

"For someone who is used to trouble, this doesn't seem like much trouble, does it?"

Yae Shinko said with a chuckle.

It seems that there should be no guarantees.

Ganyu thought silently.

As things developed to this point, she and Ying both realized that there was probably some kind of conflict between the god and the priestess that outsiders were unknown to.

Of course, to the two of them, it might just be a verbal dispute.

But to outsiders, the general's method of making his point was not words.

She shouldn't have made a promise to Ying so early, promising that the trouble would be solved without any problem, but she shouldn't have included the Eightfold Divine Son.

Maybe now, Yae Godson is the real trouble.

"All the intelligence was collected in vain."

Ying suddenly sighed, "I don't think I can refuse?"

When she was active in Liyue, she was also busy collecting various information about Inazuma, but Inazuma was isolated in the open sea, and the information she could collect was relatively limited.

For example, the two of them mentioned the Kamizakura Purification and the resistance army. Ying had never even heard of the name of the former, but she had heard of the latter, but she couldn't make any judgment on the resistance army.

Judging from the general's behavior, the rebels might be making some moves behind the scenes.

As an outsider, she was in a dilemma.

"If you don't like the Shinzakura Purification, I can recommend you to the shogunate." Yae Kamiko covered her lips and said, "With your ability, I can ensure that you will become a general in the shogunate, even above Kujo Sara."

"No." General Raiden's expression remained unchanged. "The internal affairs of the shogunate will be handed over to the three magistrates, and you only need to be responsible for the affairs of Narukami Taisha Shrine and the sacred cherry tree."

"You already interfered once during the last company executive order."

"This time you will be in charge of the Great Purification of the Divine Sakura. You are not allowed to hand it over to the miko. You must handle it yourself."

Of course, He did not discuss this with the Eightfold Son of God; He merely gave orders.

No sound pill!

Ying frowned.

Are these two people suffering from some serious illness?

Can't you guys clearly distinguish between what you can and cannot do in private?

Do they have to get entangled with each other in front of two outsiders?
"Okay, okay." Yae Shinko responded with a smile, "My Lord God."

General Raiden had no expression.

He knew very well to whom the Eightfold Son of God was addressing his words.

The story should have ended here for now.

Ying had no other choice.

Apart from returning home, she had no choice but to believe in the Eightfold Son of God for the time being.

What's more, Ganyu is here.

With Ganyu, if the difficulty of the Shenying Great Purification is really the same as what Yae Shenzi said, then it is basically equivalent to no difficulty.

It can't be said that the three of them can't handle the tasks usually assigned to the priestesses, right?
But just as Ying was about to leave, the general's eyes suddenly changed.

The dark red sky erodes the surrounding territory, and the broken torii rises from the ground.

Ying was not panicked.

She is used to all kinds of emergencies and is calm inside.

The girl looked around and finally looked at the person sitting cross-legged in the middle.

"General Thunderbolt?"

She subconsciously shook her wrist and grasped a bladeless sword.

Ying had a hunch that Paimon's initial complaints had come true.

"If it's you, I'd have to confirm it myself to be safe."

The god held the naginata, his eyes thoughtful.

There are some things the general doesn't know. If the Son of God had not appeared, He would not have taken the time to care about the affairs of the outside world.

If He does not compromise, the Eightfold God Son will never have a chance to impress General Thunder in his life.

"Paimon, you're so annoying."

Ying pressed her palm between her eyebrows, and the next moment she rushed forward without hesitation.

The three elements are most likely unable to deal with General Thunder.

She had faced off against Osel, who was the loser in the Demon War and had been sealed for at least two thousand years.

At a 50% estimate, he should not be more powerful than the current General Thunder.

But not being able to win is one thing, you have to try.

Anyway, I have two backup plans.

Judging from the conversation just now, Zhongli is most likely here.

There is still time. Brother, you can't just watch yourself being killed by General Lei Dian, right?
Lei Movie is in no hurry to attack.

His thoughts were mostly about testing, but he had no intention of killing the other person.

The situation in the Pure Land of One Mind is still relatively positive.

And outside of the Pure Land of One Mind...

Ganyu subconsciously stepped back and drew her bow.

With almost no hesitation, when Ying disappeared, she immediately mobilized the ice element and launched an attack on the general.

"You want to fight me."

General Lei Dian chopped the arrow with ease, completely breaking it into pieces.

Ying was pulled into a pure land.

In some ways, the Pure Land of One Heart is an alien space attached to the continent of Teyvat, just like a secret realm attached to the earth veins.

But Ying entered the Pure Land, and Ganyu and Paimon watched Ying disappear in an instant.

"She saw Shadow!"

Yae Shinko's face showed a hint of surprise.

This rash attempt paid off...but I don't know if she will be killed directly by Shadow.

Yae Shinko has studied Ying's travel route, and it is no exaggeration to say that this person is simply an incomprehensible time bomb.

When she appeared in Mondstadt, the dragon plague was at its worst, and when she left, the dragon plague was over and Mondstadt returned to peace.

When she appeared in Liyue, Morax died, followed by a series of difficult troubles, and when she left Liyue, Liyue returned to peace.

This person is special, very special.

She played a very special role in the disasters in both countries.

Yae Shenzi didn't understand the reason, but she knew that Ying's specialness was exactly what the eternity of Lei Movie did not allow.

A person cannot encounter a low-probability event twice in a row, unless such an event is not a low-probability event at all for her.

She didn't care about the reason, but Yae Shenzi knew very well that Ying must be a special talent.

Yae Shinko originally planned to wait and see whether Ying could bring any unexpected surprises.

But unexpectedly, she also brought a fairy with her.

With Ganyu's appearance, Kanjo Bugyo didn't even give Ying a chance to perform and sent her directly in front of the general.

On the one hand, Yae Kamiko was a little worried that the general would notice this peculiarity and get rid of her directly.

But this is very tricky.

Because her preparations were not complete yet, she couldn't try to defeat Lei Dianying with a half-finished product and someone she just met.

Let Him take a look at the world outside the Pure Land of One Mind, from being a prisoner obsessed with eternity.

On the other hand, she was also worried that Ying was nothing special and these were all coincidences.

So she came to the castle tower in person.

If she didn't come, Lei Dianying would not observe the situation outside, but would just leave things to General Lei Dian to handle - the general was specially created by Him to deal with all Inazuma affairs.

And the result was what she wanted.

Lei Dianying saw Ying and thought she was special.

In other words, she will still have the chance to enter the Pure Land of One Heart next time and get the opportunity that the Eightfold Son of God dreams of.

There was a hint of worry in her eyes.

The premise of all this is that Ying must survive first.

Ganyu prepared her attack instantly.

She brought Ying here. It was impossible for them to come here with two people and Paimon and then be left alone when they go back.

There is no such thing as making friends.

Although, this was the opportunity Ying herself was looking for.

But since she is leading the way, she should be a little more responsible.

The general's response was simple.

"Stop it, Sister Ganyu." Yae Shenzi walked to Ganyu's side, "This is not a general's action."

"Son of God." Ganyu shook her head. "Before I came here, someone told me to be careful of you."

"Oh, who is it?" Yae Shinko narrowed his eyes slightly.

"He's right."

Ganyu did not answer, "You have your own purpose, and you don't mind doing something for it."

Ganyu still hasn't figured out what happened.

But she knew that the arrival of Yae Shinto was not accidental.

She had something she wanted to do, so she came.

The result was that Ying was taken to some unknown place.

"Everyone has something they want to do." Yae Shenzi smiled, "I just showed up, but she needs my help, doesn't she?"

If she didn't come, Ying would have to prepare the return ticket in advance this time.

"Maybe."

Ganyu didn't say much.
