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

The shrine was surrounded by strange dragon-shaped statues, candles were lit on the ground, and on the steps leading to the giant dragon statue in the center of the shrine, people 'humans' clasped their hands together, bowed slightly, and maintained a devout posture.

These people have unique vertical pupils, and their piercing gaze is chilling.

In front of the shrine, the priest holds a sacred coin, his movements slow, solemn, and meticulous.

The surrounding trees formed a circular space, and the setting sun was blocked by the trees, while the burning candlelight emitted a dim glow in the dim twilight.

Everything seemed extremely 'strange'.

In vain.

The priest raised the royal coin high, chanting incantations, and suddenly a strong wind arose, howling loudly.

The trees swayed and rustled, and under the dim light, the dragon-shaped statues seemed to come alive, all facing the giant dragon at the very center.

Rumble~

A thunderclap resounded, and the dragon's eyes emitted a dark purple light.

The worshippers knelt and prostrated themselves, chanting the name 'Cadodia'.

"O supreme, great, and powerful dragon who wields the authority of heaven—Kardodia the Dragon King, heed the prayers of your people and answer our call! Thunder, return!"

"Thunder, return!" *N

"Return!"

"Return!"

"Return!"

Paimon let out a startled cry.

The next moment, the ritual was interrupted, and countless vertical pupils cast sharp gazes.

"Those who dare to disrupt the sacrificial ceremony, guards, seize them and offer them as a sacrifice to the Dragon King!"

...

The main hall of the castle.

An urgent report was delivered.

"General, according to the latest information, the Dragon Lizardmen are secretly holding a ritual of immense scale that is difficult to predict. It may have a huge impact on Inazuma. Please make your decision!"

In the void, the shadow slowly opened its eyes.

A hint of doubt appeared in his deep purple eyes.

"Strange...this power fluctuation..."

She opened her hand, and the purple crystal was now emitting a faint light.

Chapter 70 Return, Dragon King! Summoning, the Shadow's Shock! [8k5 votes requested]

Dragon King Kadodia has always been the faith of the people of Daofu.

However, despite sharing the same faith in Cardodia, there are irreconcilable conflicts between different races.

During the five hundred years of calamity, it was a time for the people of Inazuma to unite as one. Whether they were the people of Kadotia or the people of Narukami, they worked together to overcome the difficulties.

But in the aftermath of the disaster, with the situation becoming increasingly stable, the gods fell silent, faith was not restored, and the power of the Dragon King Cardodia was slowly dissipating, causing panic among the dragon lizard race.

Because all that the Dragon Lizard Clan has achieved so far is due to the great deeds of Kadodia, if they lose the protection of the gods, can they still live peacefully on this land for a long time?

When inquiries went unanswered, even from Thor, Qinglai Island began to block all contact with the outside world, and for hundreds of years there was almost no communication with Inazuma.

Over time, this place became the most mysterious place in Inazuma.

The women of Inazuma, who were initially accustomed to the dragon lizards, gradually became unfamiliar with them and even feared them. How could humans and dragon lizards, two different species, possibly live in harmony?

The truth of history will always be slowly submerged with the passage of time. The legendary dragon lizard people have been portrayed as mysterious taboos in some stories. When the tides rise, the dragon lizard group that once protected the Inazuma Sea began to be feared by the people of Inazuma.

Because of a lack of understanding, there is fear, and then a battle breaks out.

The noble shadow of the castle tower made no comment on these matters.

Thus, actions interpreted as divine approval occurred in the Inazuma territory, and the conflict between the Narukami people and the dragon lizard people intensified. Some even began to spread rumors that the Dragon King Kadodia had only given Kiyora Island to the dragon lizards out of pity for their plight, and now those despicable fellows even wanted to repay kindness with enmity, extending their fangs towards Narukami Island.

Such claims come from various sources: some are made to gain attention, some are made by self-proclaimed experts in lizard research, and some are simply out of concern for the human condition.

Fortunately, Qinglai Island remained under lockdown, preventing the conflict from escalating further.

However, the recent frequent activities of the Dragon Lizardmen, coupled with the internal turmoil in Inazuma, have forced Tenryo Magistrate to devote more energy to dealing with the situation.

Ying ignored these things. She emerged from her meditative state of eternity, stared at the glowing crystal in her hand, and fell into deep thought.

...

Passing through the tranquil Guardian Forest, watching the little demons frolic in the woods, Tiger Chiyo chattered all the way, leading Su Chen to appreciate the magnificent scenery of Inazuma five hundred years later.

Hmm, there are evil spirits here and there. The pollution from evil spirits has become more serious since the outbreak of war... Torachiyo scratched her head, looking very troubled. Kage, how do you deal with Inazuma?

"Lord Su Chen, were those really monsters?"

The Mondstadt envoys were quite frightened.

Compared to the revered Liyue immortals, the legend of Inazuma as a monster is clearly more frightening. "I am touched by immortals, but monsters eat my heart."

Another person said, "It's alright, Lord Dragon King Cardodia will protect us."

"But we are not the people of the rice fields."

"Perhaps they are friends with Lord Barbatos, and out of respect for the Wind God, they might take care of us."

"Too."

Torachiyo glanced at them and said, "Cowards."

Su Chen listened attentively with a smile, only occasionally offering his own opinion.

As soon as they left the forest, a group of warriors came running towards them.

They came looking for Kujo Sara.

"My lord, we are following your orders to eliminate the dragon lizardmen on Narukami Island with all our might," the samurai captain said.

Kujo Sara raised an eyebrow.

Torachiyo glanced at Su Chen, about to speak, but was stopped by the latter.

"what happened?"

"According to reports, a sacrificial site set up by the dragon lizard people was discovered yesterday, and they seem to be manipulating some kind of evil power."

"The Dragon Lizard Man's ritual..." Kujo Sara pondered slightly. This was not a recent event, but rather something that had been occasionally discovered on Hachi-Yun Island half a year ago. At the time, no one paid any attention to it, but as the rituals were held more and more frequently, people gradually realized that something was amiss.

The dragon lizard people worship Kadodia, of course.

However, based on the ominous power accumulated in the earth's veins, it can be determined that it was no ordinary ritual.

What are the dragon lizards plotting?

Although Kujo Sara is not as hostile to the dragon lizardmen as the ordinary Inazuma people, it is a different story if the dragon lizardmen's actions threaten the peace of Inazuma.

However, Kujo Sara couldn't understand why the blond demon would appear at the dragon lizard people's sacrificial site again.

"Could this be her real purpose in coming to Inazuma?" the Tengu girl wondered to herself.

At this moment, Su Chen smiled and said, "If you have something to do, go and take care of it first. With Chiyo leading the way, there won't be any danger along the way."

Upon hearing this, Kujo Sara nodded: "Thank you for your understanding. Well then, Lord Su Chen, I wish you a pleasant journey ahead."

Although I really wanted to ask Su Chen about the relationship between him and Hu Qiandai, I had too many things to do right now.

It's probably something like 'lovers' from many years ago, where ancient demons fall in love with humans, or even make a promise with a human child from childhood to accompany them as they grow up until their death. This kind of forbidden love is quite popular in Inazuma.

But Lord Mikoto, human lifespans are far shorter than yours, so please be prepared... Kujo Sara offered her blessing in her heart, and then quickly left with her entourage.

“Cadodia, I don’t know much about the dragon lizard people’s priesthood either, I’ve only heard other youkai talk about it,” Torachiyo whispered.

Su Chen nodded slightly. In fact, after stepping onto this land, he felt not only the convergence of faith power, but also an invisible 'cold' and 'ominous' power that merged into the name 'Kadodia' and awakened along with the name.

Su Chen wasn't quite sure about the source of this power before, but now it seems to be related to the dragon lizard people's rituals.

What Su Chen cared about even more was that, since arriving here, the rumors about the dragon lizard people made him realize that the current situation was completely different from that of thousands of years ago. Back then, the dragon lizard people walked the land and could even enjoy equal treatment in Inazuma City. Everyone was a citizen of Narukami and a follower of the Dragon King Kadodia. Although the races were different, they could still live together in harmony.

Even dragon lizards that haven't transformed into humans can freely dive into the sea to live.

And now.

"Is it inevitable due to differences in beliefs..." Su Chen thought to himself.

The people of the rice paddy and the dragon lizard people both worship Kadodia.

But only the people of Inari believe in Narukami.

To put it bluntly, the dragon lizard people never regarded General Thunder as their god; they always obeyed only Kadodia.

This situation reminded Su Chen of the neighboring Sumeru. Time buries the truth, and over time, the people will replace the truth with their subjective assumptions, which will be used by those with ulterior motives to commit crimes.

Su Chen planned to go to the sacrificial site to check on the situation.

"And what about them?" Torachiyo tilted her head.

"Let the hundred demons escort them to Inazuma Castle."

The delegation was dumbfounded.

What's going on? Are they going to be abandoned?

"Lord Su Chen, aren't you going to Daozhi City?" someone asked.

"I have something to do," Su Chen chuckled. "I'll just wander around here for a bit, then I'll be right back."

"The issue of diplomatic coordination..."

"Karls, I'm entrusting this to you. Carry on Lord Barbatos's will and lead everyone there."

"..."

Watching the envoy group, trembling and gradually disappearing under the escort of a bunch of kids, Su Chen withdrew his gaze and said, "Let's go, let's go take a look."

...
