Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

"Hmm... It's normal that you haven't heard of him. Maybe you're still young. He's from Liyue, a born emperor. He suppressed the demon god with a human body. When he was in Liyue, he formed an equal alliance with Morax and created the Liyue Kingdom. He suppressed the vortex demon god Oser with a single blow. Such feats are far beyond my reach."

He admired the human emperor more than Morax.

For such a tiny human being to achieve this level of feat is nothing short of astonishing.

"It's a pity that such a person died young, unable to escape the constraints of being human," Orobas said regretfully. "Otherwise, I would like to see what he looked like."

Although the Human Emperor had performed countless great deeds, his life was too short. A mere hundred years passed in the blink of an eye for the Demon God. Back then, Orobas was busy escaping for his life and had no time to admire the Human Emperor's splendor.

"That's impressive," Su Chen said sincerely. "I'm far inferior to those two in terms of achievements."

"Haha! Don't underestimate yourself. I've known countless people, and I think you have the potential to be an emperor."

He had seen many elemental spirits like Orobas, but this was the first time he had ever seen one as monstrous as Su Chen.

Although most elemental spirits are weak, they can create miracles once they overcome that hurdle, just like how even a tiny human can produce a human emperor.

Therefore, Orobas's analogy was already the greatest respect he could show Su Chen.

"Um..."

Su Chen didn't know what to say, so he could only pick up his wine glass.

To be honest, this wine is really not very good. Is it really the fine wine brewed in Yuanxia Palace?

“Oh, right,” Orobas changed the subject, “there’s something else I need to tell you.”

"What's the matter?"

"I'm going to the ground."

Orobas's expression turned serious.

This was not for himself, but for the people of Yuanxia Palace who followed him.

Humans cannot live underground indefinitely; the resources there are ultimately too limited, severely restricting human life.

"On the ground... Inazuma, that Thunder General is extremely powerful," Su Chen said softly.

“I know, so I do not intend to occupy Inazuma’s territory. To the west of Inazuma, in the sea, there is a small island, but I support it with my strength, enough to support my people.”

"With my strength, if I don't actively harass Inazuma, I don't think that Thunder General will bother me."

The war between the demon gods has ended, and now that the seven gods are in place, the battle won't be so easy to start.

Furthermore, even though General Raiden is the God of Thunder, she would still be wary of other demons. After all, she couldn't guard every piece of Inazuma's land all the time. If things really escalated to the point of no return, Orobas could lie in wait and kill Inazuma's people, which would be a headache even for General Raiden.

Su Chen nodded: "It's good that you understand. Remember not to be impatient. If you encounter trouble, come back quickly and we'll fight the enemy together."

"Haha! Your current small frame is no good. You'll be more suitable in another thousand years." Aurobas laughed. "However, I appreciate your kindness. If something really happens to me in the future, I entrust my people to your care."

Su Chen said unhappily, "Don't make promises you can't keep."

"Flag? What's that?"

"It's like an old general on the stage who randomly plants flags; one day his jinx will come true."

Orobas was taken aback, then smiled, lowered his head to drink, and a relieved smile appeared in his eyes.

You and Orobas drank heavily for ten days and ten nights, after which Orobas left to lead the people of Yuanxia Palace to establish a new territory.

[You are well aware of the danger of this action. Umijima Island is right next to Inazuma. How can you allow someone else to sleep soundly under your bed? Even if you weren't attacked by Thor in the game's storyline, Orobas's death, because of your warning against touching upon the past lives of the sun and moon, might manifest in some other way.]

But human progress moves forward, and you can't help but ponder: what does the future hold for the dragon lizard race?

At 140 years old, your faith power reached a saturation point, and your strength increased again, but you still failed to evolve to the next stage. Therefore, you began to consider leading your people to the surface.

However, Inazuma is currently occupied by the Thunder General, and now that Orobas has appeared, the situation is bound to become sensitive. If you were to reappear in Inazuma, war would surely break out.

Fortunately, Inazuma has many islands, and some of the abandoned places are beyond even the reach of the Thunder God. You begin to consider finding a safe haven for your dragon lizard people.

"Qinglai Island is a nice place, but it's too close to Mingshen Island, and the Thunderbirds are probably already nesting there by now."

"He Guan? The civilization there is ancient. It should have been abandoned after the Thunderbird killed the people of He Guan. However, the island has a harsh environment, the ley lines are severely affected, and there is also the threat of the Thunderbird returning at any time..."

Inside the Dragon Palace, Su Chen fell into deep thought.

He did plan to go to Heguan, because the island was large enough and had enough resources. However, he would face many troubles, the biggest of which was the Thunder Bird. With his current strength, it would probably not be easy for him to fight against it.

He's not considering Qinglai Island anymore, unless it becomes deserted in the future, in which case he could go and become a local tyrant.

Besides these two places, other islands suitable for habitation still need to be explored carefully. After all, the weather at sea is unpredictable, and if an island is too small, a single wave can drown you.

Finally, there's another issue to consider: while dragon lizards can barely adapt to being on land, ordinary dragon lizards simply cannot do so at this stage.

After much deliberation, you decide to first explore the surface to assess the situation and find a suitable place to live before considering relocation.

[There is a path from the Realm of Light to the surface of the earth. You instructed the seven guardians to protect the Realm of Light, and then left alone, traveling along the rugged, dark road. On the third day, long-lost eyes fell upon your face.]

[You transform into an elemental spirit and begin exploring this land. You soon learn that this is Ba Yun Island, where the inhabitants make their living by mining and are protected by the Thunder God.]

You transform into a bird and fly into a human village to eavesdrop on their conversations.

"Sigh~ What should we do? How did this Haiqi Island suddenly appear out of nowhere?"

"I heard that there are gods living on that island, and when the island rises, it looks like the sun rising in the east, which is extremely spectacular."

"With such divine power, I fear the visitor may not be well-intentioned."

"What's there to be afraid of? The general must already know. If that demon dares to invade, we'll make sure he never returns!"

"That's true, but if there's a war, we'll be the ones who suffer."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Let's see how the General handles it."

"Hey? There's a bird over there! Quick, quick! Don't let it get away!"

Slingshots and stones were thrown at Su Chen, but they were crushed by a sudden bolt of lightning before they could get close. The men were stunned and quickly knelt on the ground.

"By divine bird above, please do not blame me!"

Please don't blame me, please don't blame me...

Su Chen ignored them and flew away.

After flying over several villages, Su Chen had basically figured out the situation.

Bayun Island is close to Haizhi Island, and if Orobas intends to invade, this will definitely be the first battlefield.

However, Su Chen knew that he wouldn't do that. Orobas just wanted to find a safe haven for his people. As for the struggle for supremacy, he couldn't compete with him before, and now that the other party had obtained the Heart of God, he was even less likely to win.

"The key is still Thor's idea."

The current Thor is the true Thunder God. Although according to the information Su Chen has gathered, he is indeed a gentle deity, how many of those who can win the war against demons are truly 'merciful'? Mercy is for one's own people and subjects, not for enemies.

Besides, the war between demons and gods has just ended, so it's still too early to say anything for sure.

...

Rice wife.

The Land of Thunder.

Since the end of the Demon God War, under the leadership of Lord Rai, Inazuma has entered a period of prosperity and development. However, the lingering effects of the war remain, and as an island nation, it is common for it to be harassed by sea monsters.

Inazuma City.

The majestic castle tower soared into the clouds, exuding a sense of holiness and solemnity. A group of magistrates, each wielding a long spear, patrolled in orderly steps to prevent any fool from offending the shogun's divine might.

Although such a thing is impossible.

In Inazuma, the people's faith in General Raiden is absolute.

At this moment, two figures were sitting on the side pavilion of the main hall at the very top of the castle tower.

One of them wore a purple kimono embroidered with red cherry blossoms against a background of clouds. She had a beautiful face and a gentle temperament, and every smile and frown of hers captivated people.

The woman sitting opposite her looked remarkably similar to her, but her demeanor was much sharper. She had a cold and beautiful face that never smiled, wore a purple patterned kimono, and folded her hands under the wide sleeves. Her silky hair was tied into a large ponytail.

"Alright, Kage, it's just a cup of tea. Relax, okay?" Raiden Shin, the Raiden of Inazuma, said with a smile.

“Sister.” Lei Yingdian frowned slightly. “You know that’s not what I’m talking about. According to the report from the Tianling Envoy, Haiqi Island has begun to build its own military regime. If we don’t take action soon, that guy will really occupy Haiqi Island and become king.”

How could one not be wary when a demon suddenly appears next to Inazuma?

According to her, they should just rush over and chop it down, since they had already chopped down quite a few during the Demon God War.

But Raiden really told her not to act rashly.

What constitutes acting rashly?

I don't understand Lei's movies.

"So what if you want to be the king of a territory? It's not like that's Inazuma. Teyvat is so big, are you going to interfere with every demon that pops up in every place?"

"But that guy is near Bayun Island, what if... ugh!"

Before he could finish speaking, a cookie was forcibly stuffed into Lei's mouth.

"Okay, okay, I know, calm down, Shadow, be good~" Raiden said as if coaxing a child.

Faced with her sister's sudden doting attack, Lei Yingdian broke down completely. She wanted to argue back but couldn't resist the delicious treat in her mouth, so she could only whimper and eat the biscuit.

"Is it delicious? I specially learned this recipe from Liyue. Speaking of which, Morax gave me two bottles of fine wine this time. Tomorrow, let's invite Zhaigong and the others to go to White Fox Field to enjoy the flowers and have a picnic."

Raiden said with great anticipation.

"elder sister..."

"Actually, Orobas is quite pitiful. He first went to Liyue, was defeated by Oser, and encountered Morax while escaping. He barely managed to escape from Liyue and came here by chance. Anyway, the Demon God War is over, so let him go."

"But he is ultimately a demon god; what if he harbors evil intentions..."

"Molac once spoke of the past, saying that Orobas was an unambitious passerby who was just unlucky. Back then, he saw that Orobas had no intention of fighting, so he did not kill him."

As Raiden Shin spoke, he poured Kage a cup of hot tea.

She was not an overly merciful person, but the peace and stability that had been hard-won were now vulnerable to being lost if war were to break out rashly. It was the people of Inazuma who would suffer.

The war between demon gods is not so simple, especially when it is a demon god with a retinue. If you kill his people, will he not take revenge on you?

If he dies, the harm caused by the fall of the demon god will be something Inazuma cannot bear.

In conclusion, if Orobas is content to stay on Haizhi Island, then there's no need to worry about it.

Of course, if the other party intends to invade, then Lightning will not hesitate to strike.

Anyway, if a fight breaks out, no matter how Haiqi Island develops, even if it takes another hundred or a thousand years, so what? Top-tier combat power is right here, and the island's resources are limited. Its size is just a matter of a single slash from a shadow, so there's really no need to worry.
