Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

"Don't look at me like that. I can't pull off anything like that. I'm just a mere Wind God. I can't handle this!"

Wendy almost immediately told Su Feng that she absolutely couldn't handle such a thing.

In the end, he was just a fragment of the Great God of the World. Although he had now obtained the power of the wind, he had only obtained the power of the wind.

Even if you brought Ishtar over, you might not be able to achieve what Zhongli did, so it's even more impossible for him, Ishtar's descendant, to do so.

"Humph!"

"Useless guy."

Unexpectedly, Wendy started shaking his head frantically before he could even speak. Su Feng snorted coldly, expressing his disdain for the drunkard.

Especially Wendy, although what he said seemed to make sense, Su Feng instinctively felt that this guy was slacking off!

However, he didn't press Wendy any further, as his priority now was to master the power of the Golden Jade and the Azure Jade as soon as possible.

Besides, with Zhongli providing serious and meticulous guidance right now, this is not the time to argue with Wendy.

There will be plenty of time to deal with him later.

......

Zhongli did not expect that Su Feng's mastery of the power of gold and jade would be much faster and deeper than he had imagined. After a detailed understanding of how the power of gold and jade was formed, he decisively chose to open up a completely new method in addition to the complicated production method taught by Zhongli.

In fact, the most important point in creating the Golden Jade Power is to compress the Light Sphere Force to a considerable extent so as to cause the Light Sphere Force to undergo a qualitative change and thus give birth to the Golden Jade Power. After realizing this, Su Feng decisively chose to use the Gravity Core.

Anyway, Su Feng originally planned to use the gravity core as the base for creating the divine body. Since creating the Golden Jade Power also requires sufficient pressure, he might as well just use the gravity core directly!

It has to be said that this was indeed a rather blind move, but it's not impossible for Su Feng to do it now.

First, the numerous Herrscher cores were placed in the innermost layer as power supply devices and to protect vital points—these Herrscher cores were indeed Su Feng's vital points, especially the Wind Herrscher core.

After all, although Su Feng is now a true six-core Herrscher, it doesn't change the fact that he is still a Herrscher of Wind core that has become a spirit.

Therefore, if something really goes wrong with the core of the Wind Law, Su Feng will likely suffer a severe blow as well.

Therefore, protecting the core of the Herrscher is a very important thing.

Surrounding these Herrscher cores is a layer of gravity cores meticulously constructed by Su Feng. These gravity cores cleverly form a sphere that surrounds the numerous Herrscher cores. Any attack that wants to hit Su Feng's Herrscher cores must first deal with these gravity cores.

More importantly, these gravitational cores are not only used to protect Su Feng's Herrscher core. The light force that Su Feng draws from the imaginary space with the help of many Herrscher cores also has to be compressed and sublimated by these gravitational cores after it flows out. After that, what flows out is directly the power of gold and jade!

Su Feng decisively used these gravity cores as devices for processing the power of gold and jade. This way, Su Feng could directly and continuously generate the power of gold and jade during the battle, saving him from having to create and store the power of gold and jade in peacetime like Zhong Li did, and only use it when needed.

A fully automated golden jade power production device. As long as Su Feng fully absorbs the power of the light realm, he can create a huge amount of golden jade power in a short time. It is indeed huge. After Su Feng tested it for a while, even Zhong Li almost popped his eyes out.

As a byproduct of creating the power of gold and jade, Su Feng quickly created an entire mountain of gold—literally, a small mountain of pure gold without any impurities.

This is probably the problem that Su Feng is currently struggling with. After all, gold, as a byproduct of the power of gold and jade, is definitely not lacking, but how to deal with this gold is a real headache.

Of course, let's leave aside the embarrassing Wind God who was so captivated by the golden light that he almost pounced on Su Feng's leg after seeing this scene.

This guy is acting like he's never seen the world before.

However, compared to the power of gold and jade, which can be mastered after a period of study and even transformed into a fully automated gold production plant, the power of the Azure Jade created by Zhongli is not so easy to master.

The most important aspect of the power of the Azure Jade is not the energy itself, but the manifestation of the rules carried within that energy. This is what gives Su Feng a headache—it is far too difficult to understand or even master these rules in a short period of time.

If the rules of the world were so easy to understand, Su Feng wouldn't have had to constantly use Teyvat's rules to cover the battlefield to ensure he didn't fall into a disadvantageous position when fighting Nibelungen.

However, this method is something he must learn, otherwise he will still suffer from it later. After all, even the World Tree is not omnipotent, and the original being may have even pruned the World Tree to some extent!

As for Nibelungen, which can contend with the primordial beings, it would be a joke to say that it has no way to deal with the World Tree.

Now that someone is finally willing to introduce him to the door, can he give up at this time?

So Su Feng could only grit his teeth and continue to study diligently under Zhong Li's guidance.

In particular, the power of the Azure Jade is related to whether one can create a body capable of moving freely in the mortal realm, so one must study it seriously.

But... studying is really tough!

Chapter Nine: Access Denied

Trying to understand and apply the laws of the world is no easy task.

Zhongli is able to utilize the laws of the world with apparent ease because he is a remnant of the primordial light and once shone as the sun high in the sky.

But Su Feng didn't have the same advantages as Zhong Li.

Even though he now has Zhongli's teachings and Naxida's help to access most of the information in the World Tree, it's still the same.

This kind of requirement, which tests one's own understanding and learning ability, is not something that can be easily accomplished. Moreover, the rules of a world are so complex that they cannot be fully understood simply by explanation and information search.

Even a small segment extracted from the myriad laws is not something that can be easily mastered. In fact, even Zhongli did not believe that Su Feng could achieve this in just a few months.

All Su Feng needs to do now is to be able to create the power of the Azure Jade and have a certain foundation in understanding the laws of the world.

As for the rest... let's take it slow. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, this will still be a massive project that will take a century to complete.

In any case, what Zhongli is doing now is to force Su Feng to master the power of Cangbi with the help of the World Tree controlled by Naxida.

Su Feng also acknowledged this, so he had no intention of learning so much in a short time. Right now, his biggest need was to ensure that he could build a qualified body, and everything else would have to wait.

Therefore, his primary goal is to create the power of the Azure Jade as the outer shell of his new body without using the power of reason.

Although the power of reason allows Su Feng to easily replicate the power of the Azure Jade, and even if he plays around with it a bit, making it a muscle memory wouldn't be too difficult, Su Feng felt it was better to learn it himself first.

After all, this is a good opportunity to learn about the laws of the world, and it's not a good thing to always choose to skip class.

I don't need to make much progress, but getting started should be fine, right?

Anyway, the power of reason will guarantee a minimum outcome, so it's not a big problem.

Well, not a big problem.

......

In fact, Su Feng overestimated himself.

Trying to analyze and master the laws of the world is not an easy task. Even though Zhongli has told Su Feng all the details and experience without reservation, it is still very difficult to quickly master the world laws involved in the power of Cangbi.

Everyone had anticipated this at first, but soon everyone realized that the difficulty had reached a bizarre level.

It has been almost a month since the beginning, but in reality, Su Feng is completely clueless and has made no progress in understanding the laws of the world.

If things continue like this, there probably won't be any progress in the remaining time.

In fact, Su Feng has now internalized the act of using the power of reason to create the power of the Azure Jade as an instinct, and he can even mechanically create the power of the Azure Jade by imitating it.

Even the body that needed to be made had been almost completed using the fragmented time of the analytical laws, but it still couldn't comprehend even a little bit of the world laws contained in the power of the Azure Jade.

He is completely baffled by the laws of the world right now, as if the laws of this world have shut the door on him.

"Perhaps... we should change our perspective. I don't think this situation is normal. Maybe the act of helping you understand the laws of this world is itself problematic?"

After struggling for a long time and even trying to get Su Feng to learn some of the laws of wind without any progress, even Wendy had to admit that there was clearly a problem with the current situation.

With the help of him and Zhongli, the two most ancient gods, they haven't even gotten close to it in such a long time.

Even if the person standing in front of them now were an ordinary person with no talent whatsoever, they wouldn't be like this. Moreover, no matter how you look at it, Su Feng doesn't seem like the kind of hopeless, uncarved block. Clearly, there's something wrong that they haven't noticed.

“I don’t know what’s going on either. Although you always say that the laws of the world are there, and I have indeed found a lot of relevant information in the World Tree, and I can even use my powers to replicate these laws again based on the information in the World Tree, but... I just can’t understand what you mean by the laws of the world.”

"I simply cannot understand how so many fragmented things could be called laws!"

Faced with this situation, Su Feng could only shrug – especially since the situation where he could directly copy the corresponding laws using the World Tree and the power of reason, but was completely clueless when trying to understand and apply them himself, was also beyond Su Feng's imagination.

He couldn't understand why the things he replicated were called the laws of the world, nor could he figure out how they worked.

Scattered and disorganized?

Wendy's eyes narrowed as she suddenly realized something after hearing Su Feng's complaint.

"Hmph~ So is it possible that you yourself have never been accepted by the world? Is the world instinctively rejecting your understanding of all of this?"

After taking several deep breaths to calm herself down, Wendy offered her opinion.

Their teachings are definitely sound, and Su Feng doesn't seem like an idiot no matter how you look at it, so the only problem now might lie with Su Feng himself.

Considering that Su Feng is not from Teyvat and is related to the so-called 'Trial of Civilization', he doesn't seem like someone who would be welcomed. So, is it possible that the world itself is refusing to open up to Su Feng?

It was precisely because of the world's own rejection that Su Feng's perception in this regard became problematic.

"?"

"This...you mean I'm being denied access? But I've been able to access Teyvat's elemental power all along?"

"Moreover, the World Tree doesn't refuse to contact me, and I can even freely access relevant information within the World Tree. There's no reason for it to refuse me just in terms of actual learning!"

Wendy's assumption left Su Feng somewhat puzzled, since he had been living a perfectly good life in Teyvat all along, and there had been no obstacles when he used the elemental power to access information from the World Tree.

It's like a server that lets you freely access, use, and even modify all kinds of information and even the underlying code, but refuses to let you learn the server's desktop layout?

This is a bit outrageous no matter how you look at it.

"No, maybe it's not that outrageous."

After Chapter 10 was region locked, I could only mess around with other things.

While Su Feng seemed puzzled by Wendy's guess, Zhong Li thoughtfully expressed his agreement with Wendy.

"Neither elemental forces nor information from the World Tree truly touches upon the foundation of Teyvat—they are like Teyvat's energy and backups, important but not affecting the most basic framework."

"But the laws of the world are different. If everything else is like decoration in a house, then the laws are the main structure of the house. It is certainly troublesome to be without decorations and blueprints, but if even the main structure of the house is gone, then the house will naturally cease to exist."

"If you're considered the guy who might damage the main structure of the house, then it's not surprising that you're turned away."

"Moreover, the world has blurred your understanding of the laws. Perhaps with the help of the World Tree you can replicate the laws of Teyvat and use them, but without sufficient understanding you cannot tamper with them, so it is naturally safe."

"..."

"So what do we do now? Should I just give up on learning?"

After listening to Zhongli's seemingly reasonable explanation, Su Feng was once again lost in confusion.

The main reason was that he really didn't know how to express his current emotions. After all, being locked out of the region as a potential hidden threat to Teyvat was indeed unbearable.

He has saved this broken world many times, yet he is still not trusted?

Are Herrschers destined to be suspected?

Su Feng couldn't help but mutter to himself, but in reality, he didn't pay too much attention to it.
