Genshin Impact: This light novel author doesn't cross the line.

She extended her hand to Yae no Miko, "So, where's the promised evidence?"

Yae no Miko immediately handed over the documents that Hayato had sent, marveling at how incredibly skilled the final chapter was; even she had almost mistaken them for real.

Kujo Sara took the document and began reading it eagerly.

From the moment she began reading, her eyes were glued to the words. Every line, every word, felt like a resounding slap across the face, striking her heart mercilessly. She was shocked by the facts revealed in the document, so different from what she had previously known that she could hardly believe it.

Her face gradually turned pale, a fire of anger burning in her chest, making her heart race and her blood feel as if it would burst from her veins. The contents of the document filled her with a deep disgust for Kujo Takayuki's actions; her hands trembled, and her heart was filled with rage and despair.

The document was like a bomb, shattering her world. She felt deceived, and what angered her even more was the discovery that she might be part of this colossal lie.

"Betrayal is absolutely unforgivable! I want to confront the head of the family face to face!" Kujo Sara immediately turned around and was about to leave.

"Don't go yet, Kujo Sara, calm down, I have something to tell you." Yae no Miko called out to her in time.

"What is it?" she asked anxiously. At that moment, all she wanted to do was confront Kujo Takayuki and ask him why he had betrayed the shogun.

"Did you know that the general in the castle tower is just a puppet? The real Raiden General has long since transferred his consciousness to his sword and resides in the Pure Land of One Heart."

"what?!"

The shock of this message was even greater than the betrayal by the Heavenly Order. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. Her pupils dilated involuntarily, her eyes filled with shock, and her thoughts raced in disarray.

She began to slowly process the news.

Although it's hard to believe, if the Shogun in the castle tower is really a puppet, then a lot of things can be explained.

No wonder the general always had a blank expression, like an emotionless machine, indifferent to everything except the eternal cause.

After a while, Kujo Sara calmed herself down. After the initial shock, she felt very confused.

"Lord Yae no Kami, why are you suddenly telling me all this?"

Yae no Miko crossed her arms, "Naturally, it's to correct the goddess's mistakes and reverse her will."

Kujo Sara's expression showed understanding; she already knew what mistake Yae no Miko had made. "What do you intend to do?"

"Let her see her mistakes. When everyone is on the opposite side of her, can she still stubbornly believe in her so-called eternity?"

Kujo Sara felt a pang of pity. "Lord Yaehime, isn't your plan a bit too cruel?"

“Cruel?” Ueno Chiki suddenly sneered. “Lord Sara, you are worried about your god, but have you ever thought about the cruelty of the Eye Hunting Edict and the Seclusion Edict?”

How many families have been torn apart, people have died, and people have been displaced? Why didn't you stand up and speak out about the cruelty?

You high and mighty nobles never care about the lives of commoners, and act arbitrarily according to your own will.

"The reason Inazuma is the most ignorant, backward, and unenlightened nation on the continent of Teyvat is inextricably linked to you nobles!"

Chapter 67 The Choice of the Coral Palace and the Heart Sea

Chiki Ueno lived at the bottom of society and had a deep understanding of the suffering experienced by ordinary people.

For example, this summer's famine crisis was entirely a man-made disaster. Despite a bumper harvest last year, people still starved to death.

The country of Inazuma has rotted to the point of almost stinking, yet its ruler, General Raiden, still wants to achieve eternity.

This is ridiculous!

Kujo Sara was speechless in the face of his accusations.

General Thunder was merely trying to recognize his mistakes, but many of those persecuted by the Eye Hunt and the Isolation Order had already lost their lives.

Yingmei gently tugged at Ueno Chiki's sleeve. "Chiki, Kujo Sara was just following orders. Besides, she's fair, honest, and understands the people's feelings. Last time we went to the town magistrate's office, she was the one who let us go."

By this time, Ueno Chiki had also calmed down.

In the corrupt Tenryo Administered Office, only Kujo Sara was a truly good person; she did her best to help those who were persecuted within her own power.

"I'm sorry, Kujo Sara, what I said just now was indeed too much," he said apologetically.

"No, you're absolutely right. I've been acting in accordance with the General's will, but I've ignored the people's wishes. Looking back, I'm now on the opposite side of the people. In the last war with the rebels on Haizhi Island, I discovered that many of the rebel soldiers who fought to the death came from Inazuma Castle."

The fearless determination and courage of the resistance fighters during the last war left a very deep impression on her.

"I agree to your plan. But if you dare to harm the General, my arrows will show no mercy." Kujo Sara's tone was resolute; this was her bottom line as the most loyal follower of the Thunder General.

Yae no Miko chuckled softly, "Heh, you're certainly loyal enough. My friend is the pinnacle of martial arts in the world, how could we possibly harm her?"

"I believe that the general's martial arts are unparalleled, but it is my duty as a warrior to protect the general's safety."

"If all goes well, our operation will commence in ten days. We hope you will cooperate with us so that Inazuma can usher in a new future!"

“A new future?” Kujo Sara repeated, then her previously wavering gaze gradually hardened. “Don’t worry, I will cooperate with your actions.”

After saying that, she turned and left Narukami Taisha.

"Traveler, the last time you saw the real Thunder General was in the Pure Land of One Heart, right?" Yae no Miko slowly walked up to Ying Mei and asked earnestly.

“That’s right.” Yingmei nodded gently.

"If you can find a way to recreate that scene and get General Thunder to open her heart again in front of the Thousand-Handed, Hundred-Eyed Statue, you will definitely be able to change her mind."

Then, Yae no Miko stretched out her slender hand, and a pink amulet appeared in her hand. "Wear this, it will bring you good luck."

"Really?" Yingmei took the amulet, pressed it to her face, and took a deep breath. "It smells like the scent of the Eighth Lord. Ah, so satisfying."

"Bang!" Yae no Miko stepped forward and flicked Yingmei on the head. "Hey, don't do such lewd things in front of me!"

"Hehe." But Yingmei still clung tightly to the amulet like a pervert.

This made Yae no Miko doubt whether such a despicable traveler could really accomplish anything.

But now that the die is cast, she has no other choice.

"Traveler, you must keep this amulet with you. Don't put it in your inventory. It will help you in a critical moment."

"Okay, Master Ba Chong, I will keep it close to my body."

........

One day later, at the Coral Palace.

Coral Palace Heart Sea, her face flushed, was looking at the latest novel published by Yaedo, "Night Shift Ward: The Coerced Second Head Nurse". The most captivating thing about the female protagonist of this novel, Dotolei, is her pure face and her holy yet tempting white stockings.

Coral Palace Xin Hai usually likes to wear white stockings, which gives her an indescribable feeling.

"Lord Coral Palace, an urgent letter has arrived from Yaedo." The shrine maiden Izumi Naki walked in from outside the palace gate.

She immediately closed the novel, calmed herself down, and then stepped forward to take the letter.

After receiving it, she eagerly read the letter, quickly skimming through it before rereading it carefully.

After confirming that the contents of the letter were correct, she gripped the edge of the letter tightly with her fingers and tore it into countless small pieces without hesitation.

At this moment, she needed to make a decision, but it was not easy, because it concerned the future of Haizhi Island.

With her thoughts a little scattered, she walked out of the Coral Palace, passed through the familiar corals, circled the ancient seashells, and finally stood at the very edge of the island, gazing at the endless sea in the distance.

The warm and gentle sunlight pierced through the sea breeze, reflecting on the ever-undulating surface of the sea.

She constantly weighed the pros and cons and predicted the possible outcomes.

Her initial strategic intention was simply to occupy Bayun Island and use its fertile land to support the people of Haizhi Island. However, after the town's facilities on Bayun Island were destroyed by the spies of the Fools, her plan completely failed.

A few days ago, the envoy of the Fools promised her that they would send food aid should the rebels launch an attack on Inazuma Castle. Considering the existing food shortage, she initially agreed to the Fools' envoy's offer.

Now, this letter from Narukami Shrine has given her another option.

Should we choose Narukami Taisha or the Fatui Clan?

If it were an ordinary person from Umijima Island making the decision, they would undoubtedly choose to cooperate with the Fools without hesitation. This is because, hundreds of years ago, it was General Raiden who personally slew Umijima Omikami.

This hatred will be etched in my heart forever.

However, after careful consideration, Sango Mikoto ultimately chose to cooperate with Narukami Taisha.

Because the Fools are treacherous and use dirty tricks, cooperating with them will only plunge Umijima Island into perpetual war with the Inazuma Shogunate.

Only through cooperation with Narukami Taisha can Umijima Island and the Inatsuma Shogunate achieve true peace. Too many people have died in war, and behind them lie countless broken families.

Having made up her mind, Coral Palace Heart Sea no longer had any hesitation or doubt in her heart.

Upon returning to the Coral Shrine, she immediately wrote two letters and summoned the shrine maiden Izumi Naki, instructing her to deliver one to the Fools and the other to Narukami Taisha.

Chapter 68 Kujo Sorok Part 1

On a late autumn afternoon in Inazuma City, the sky was overcast, and the trees lining the streets swayed their withered yellow leaves, as if lamenting the ruthlessness of time in the wind.

The autumn wind was bleak, carrying a chill that penetrated to the bone, relentlessly sweeping through every corner of the city.

Pedestrians hurried by, each rushing to their destination as if fleeing some unforeseen misfortune.

Inside the Tenryo Magistrate's Office, a young officer was tied to a pillar, his upper body naked, wearing only a thin pair of Inazuma-style trousers. His body was tightly bound, rendering him unable to move.

At that moment, an elderly man dressed in a black kimono entered. He was Kujo Takayuki, the head of the Tenryo Registry. With a stern and harsh face, he held a leather whip in his hand and wore a cruel smile.

Kujo Takayuki began the cruel whipping.

Each lash struck the young officer's bare upper body hard, producing a series of loud sounds.

His body was beaten to a bloody pulp, but Kujo Takayuki did not stop and continued to beat him.

Although the young officer was in excruciating pain, he dared not cry out. His eyes were fixed on the ceiling, and he breathed heavily, burying his pain deep within his heart.

The whipping finally stopped.

Kujo Takayuki placed the leather whip in his hand on the chair next to him, then walked up to the young officer and looked at him coldly.

“Do you know what crime you committed?” Kujo Takayuki asked.

The young officer took a deep breath and said, "I shouldn't have disobeyed the patriarch's orders and let the residents of Bayun Island go."

Kujo Takayuki nodded, a cruel smile creeping onto his lips.

Another round of whipping began, accompanied by beatings and curses: "Do you know that the evil spirits on those lowly people might pollute Inazuma City?"

"I promoted you back then because you were obedient, but you dared to disobey my orders, you bastard!"

"You worthless thing, you're utterly worthless, a hopeless case. Just like that tengu, you couldn't even defeat such a weak resistance force!"

At that moment, he unleashed all the anger that had been building up inside him on the young officer.

He only put his hand down when the officer was on the verge of death, barely breathing.
