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

[You bestow upon Nasus the Domination rune, symbolizing unleashed power; upon Renekton the Resolute rune, symbolizing unwavering strength; and upon Asna the power of sorcery runes.]

At this moment, you sensed the power fluctuations of the solar disk and, following your intuition, initiated the contract summoning. When the light of the ritual completely subsided, a black-haired woman appeared before you.

With a healthy bronze complexion, streamlined muscle lines, and a soft feminine charm, the woman held a cross-shaped blade with magical patterns. Sensing the power of the summoning, she respectfully knelt down before Su Chen.

"Sivir pays homage to the great Emperor!"

Sivir, the goddess of war... A hint of joy appeared in Su Chen's eyes. After summoning a series of undesirable minions after summoning gold (referring to Nasus and Renekton), he was starting to question his initial choice of the Simulation talent. Now, he finally had a decent minion.

Like Nasus, the summoned Sivir automatically adapted to the situation in Teyvat and took Su Chen as her sole will to follow.

[You infused Sivir with the power of the Sun Disc, enabling her to become a powerful Ascended Being. Furthermore, you bestowed upon her the power of the Intricate Runes. Sivir wielded her crossblade, unleashing a power that even surprised Nasus.]

"Go, warriors, with the glory of Shurima," you said. Before your authority, the four Ascended swore an oath of allegiance.

In the fortieth year of the Desert Calendar, a force led by the four Ascended Ones launched an attack on the Demon God. To the astonishment of countless beings, you, as the Emperor, did not even appear before the Demon God's forces were annihilated by Nasus and his allies.

The fact that 'mortals' killed a demon god is almost impossible on the continent of Teyvat. People have no way of knowing the power of the Ascended, but the only thing they can see is that the power of the four Ascended comes from the great Desert Emperor.

[Thus, more and more people gathered in Narimar, the capital of Shurima, yearning for the extraordinary power bestowed upon them by the emperor.]

[Even the demons fear your power, but at the same time, bad rumors circulate. Those powerful demons believe you are an ominous being sent from the heavens, a 'taboo' not tolerated by this world.]

[Fifty years into the desert calendar, your infamous reputation has spread throughout Mount Sumeru and even reached other places.]

"A taboo..." (qian.xun) 554707555

Su Chen was speechless upon hearing the news from outside the palace.

"Don't pay attention to the slander of the weak. They just want to use this method to gain recognition and sympathy from others, and to find a reason to comfort themselves for their weakness." The Flower Goddess was worried that Su Chen would overthink it.

"Don't worry, I'll just take these as compliments and accept them with a clear conscience," Su Chen said with a faint smile.

“Indeed, to be feared by so many demon gods, and even to be called taboo, is something to be proud of in a sense.” The Great Tree King smiled. “As far as I know, among the gods in the Demon God War, only Morax of Liyue has been feared in this way.”

Su Chen stroked his chin: "Morax."

The Great Compassion Tree King asked with slight doubt, "Do you know him?"

"I guess so. I've met him before. If nothing unexpected happens, he'll be the ultimate winner in Liyue."

“I also think so. He is an ancient god, a wise god who is also kind to mankind. With him leading the way, Liyue should be safe and sound.” The beautiful and kind Tree King sighed.

She then turned her gaze and found that Su Chen was looking at her.

"what happened?"

"Speaking of which, Tree King, your birthday is coming up soon, isn't it?"

"Huh?" The Great Tree King blinked in surprise. "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Su Chen chuckled: "I've got nothing better to do, so let's celebrate."

The Great Tree King initially wanted to refuse, since the demon gods' lives were far too ancient and their birthdays were meaningless to them, but he couldn't resist your insistence, so he had no choice but to agree.

"You've never celebrated my birthday before." After the Great Tree King left to gather his people to prepare for the occasion, the Flower Goddess suddenly leaned over and said with a hint of sourness.

She knew Su Chen earlier and they formed an alliance earlier.

But until now, Su Chen has never asked her about her birthday.

Su Chen smiled and said, "I'll definitely do it next time."

Actually, this was just a sudden inspiration he had in his spare time. It was just a flash of inspiration because of the story of the Flower Goddess's birthday celebration. There was really no bias towards anyone.

"It's a deal." The Flower Goddess winked playfully at Su Chen.

[At your command, all of Shurima is celebrating the Tree King's birthday.]

When the green light of the forest shone into Narimar, all the people of Shurima cheered in celebration. The goddess of wisdom, symbolizing the breath of life, sat in a bridal sedan chair surrounded by elves. She stretched out her slender, white hand, plucked a green leaf, and scattered it. The leaf grew into a great tree, and with a gentle wave of its branches, a clear spring cascaded down. The desert people greedily drank in this sweet dew, worshipping the gods' gift.

The Lannaroks were overjoyed. Obeying the Tree King's command, they appeared throughout Narimarjana, bringing lush green life to the city.

At that moment, you will stand atop the grand terrace of the palace, overlooking your jubilant people, and order a grand, unprecedented martial arts trial to be held, where the victor will have the opportunity to ascend to immortality.

The news ignited a frenzy throughout the royal city. Under Nasus's arrangement, a massive arena was erected, where warriors from across Shurima competed for the right to ascend.

[Upon entering the palace, the Lannaros played forest songs, and immersed in the music, one could almost hear the melodious sound of flowing springs, the fragrance of flowers, and the fluttering of colorful butterflies.]

The maids were dismissed, and the flower goddess, in high spirits, danced before the palace to the accompaniment of the Lannaros' music. As she danced, beautiful Parthenos bloomed throughout the palace.

As you sip the finest wine and admire the dance of this goddess of flowers, you can't help but marvel that perhaps no beauty in this world can compare to this moment.

Immersed in the tender embrace woven by the goddess of flowers with dreams and fine wine, the Great Tree King was also somewhat intoxicated. This was her first birthday celebration from a divine friend, one she would never forget.

[The goddess of flowers celebrated her birthday, and from that moment on, the festival celebrating the tree king was passed down through generations.]

The merriment of the banquet lasted for ten days before it ended. Meanwhile, the results of the martial arts trials were also determined. The winner was brought before the palace by Nasus. He was a young man who was not particularly strong. Compared to the heroes from various tribal city-states who were honored for slaying giant beasts, no one had expected that this young man could win the championship.

“He is the most determined mortal I have ever met.” Nasus did not hold back in praising the young man.

There are many powerful humans, but most mortals are afraid and fearful when faced with danger or desperate situations. However, what the young man showed on the ring was a determination that even Nasus admired.

The battle continues until the enemy falls before us.

Su Chen looked at the young man and saw purity and determination in his eyes.

"what's your name?"

The young man immediately looked somewhat bewildered.

Nasus said, "He had no name, and he couldn't even speak when he first came to the match. He only had a sword and a tattered set of clothes."

Su Chen was somewhat surprised. There were people who couldn't even speak, were they mute?

But he wasn't actually mute. Nasus sent people to investigate, and they found that the young man came from an ancient tribe, but now the entire tribe had died out and he was the only one left.

Before this, the young man spent his days in the dead tribe, living by slaying monsters with the only weapon he had by his side: a greatsword.

It's been about ten years since he last spoke, hasn't it? ... Nasus guessed that although it was somewhat improper to bring such a person before the Emperor, he didn't want Shurima to miss out on a great warrior because of so-called etiquette.

Of course, before that, he had the maid tidy up the young man and change him into new clothes before bringing him to see Su Chen.

"The nameless berserker..."

Su Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Therefore, I bestow upon you the name Aatrox."

[Aatrox the Berserker, a born warrior and a pure loyalist, should have remained by the tribe's side until his death. However, he sensed a distant call and came to the royal city to participate in the tournament. When asked why, he offered no answer; it was all because of the colossal figure cast from the heavens—the Desert Emperor.]

He was a warrior nurtured by the land of Shurima. Without hesitation, you activated the Sun Disc for him. As the immense power symbolizing extraordinary might descended upon Aatrox, even the ancient disc began to tremble violently.

This had never happened before; Aatrox was drawing even more power than Nasus.

You are amazed by Aatrox's talent. After officially becoming an Ascended, you keep him by your side and carefully teach him martial arts and the techniques of controlling power. Under your tutelage, Aatrox's strength improves by leaps and bounds, to the point that even Nasus is no match for him.

In the year 60 of the Desert Calendar, Aatrox joined the expeditionary force and personally slew the Lava Demon God who had blocked the desert legion's advance.

[In the sixty-fifth year of the Desert Calendar, Aatrox fought the Night Demon alone for three days and three nights. When he finally found him, the ground was littered with the corpses of the Night Demon's minions, and the enormous demon was pinned to the ground by Aatrox, who had revealed his Ascended form.]

[Aatrox's fame resounded throughout the desert, and the power of the five Ascended beings became deeply ingrained in people's minds. Those demons who still harbored illusions began to migrate out of Sumeru one by one.]

[In the eightieth year of the Desert Calendar, Shurima's territory almost covered the entire Sumeru region, and the kingdom was more powerful than ever before. However, what still worries you is the Red King, who has vanished without a trace. He has obtained forbidden power for so many years, yet there is still no news of him.]

After your search proved fruitless, you abandoned your plan to wait any longer. With the help of the Great Tree King, you spent twenty years building seven square monuments within your territory, each imbued with the power of the desert. These monuments are interconnected and resonate with each other.

[You shall assign Nasus, Renekton, Asna, Sivir, and Actor to each guard one of the steles, and entrust the remaining two to the Great Tree King and Flora.]

[You've marked each of the seven slabs, so you can teleport there immediately if anything goes wrong. The power of these seven slabs also covers the entire territory of Shurima.]

[After completing all this, continue to comprehend the power of the Sun Disc. Your strength has already reached the peak of the Thunder Dragon King's complete form, but it will take a long time to advance further. You know that this level is far from enough.]

[In the year 150 of the Desert Calendar, a dark power began to spread from beneath the earth.]

Aru's reflection, an eternal golden dreamland.

The Crimson King sat on his throne, his body being entangled by black power, his soul being torn apart by the corrosive force.

Black and gold intertwine, vying for dominance and suppressing each other.

The Crimson King never expected that the power was far more terrifying than he had anticipated, despite having made as many preparations as possible beforehand. The Grass Dragon King hadn't told the truth: this power could not only contend with the Heavenly Throne, but also drive people into endless madness and lead them to sin.

As proud as the Crimson King was, he was unwilling to give up himself and become a slave to this power.

So for over a hundred years, he has been trying to claim the forbidden power for himself and make it a part of him.

Unfortunately.

As time went by, his body gradually decayed, and his soul was riddled with holes under the erosion of power.

Finally, the taboo broke free of his restraints and began to spread within the golden dreamland.

It transformed into sweet wine, enticing the Red King's people to drink it.

It transforms into profound knowledge, which begins to spread through reading.

It even transforms into everything within sight, and anything whose existence is recognized will be eroded by it.

In an instant, the entire Golden Dreamland was plunged into an unprecedented catastrophe.

"How can I...fall here?" the Crimson King roared in despair. "In this realm of justice above all laws, my ideals will stand on the eternal ground. I cannot fall, I cannot..."

Despite his resentment, he found himself unable to control the spread of the taboo. Watching civilization turn into scorched earth under the erosion of the taboo, the Crimson King's heart bled.

Golden Dreamland, this is his masterpiece!

"My king! Save us!"

Within the paradise, the Red King's people chanted his name, unaware that even the Red King himself was in dire straits.

Finally, after enduring endless suffering to the limit, the Red King set aside his pride and tried to find a way to save himself and his people... The desert emperor could only turn to him for help.

Rumble~~~

The dark power broke free from the shackles of the golden dreamland, eroding all living things wherever it went, turning civilization into a withered desert in an instant.

Beneath the darkness, ominous monsters emerge from the earth's veins, roaming the land and bringing terrible nightmares to the desert.

The desert is now almost entirely Shurima territory, so when calamity strikes, the people living within the territory are the first to be threatened.

The Great Tree King stood on the high platform constructed of square monuments, its emerald-green eyes gazing into the distance. Sensing the arrival of the dark will, its eyes were filled with worry.

"Is this the power that the Crimson King seized from beyond the world?" Beside her, the Flower Goddess stood shoulder to shoulder. She had originally planned to come here for a vacation, but unexpectedly, she happened to encounter the outbreak of forbidden power.

"I sensed a deep threat from within it. It is an existence that must never be touched, whether by humans or gods." The Great Tree King could feel that the memories that had settled within the veins connecting to the World Tree were being awakened by this terrifying power, transforming into dark monsters that tore the earth apart.

If left unchecked, this power will spread and even erode the World Tree, eventually infecting the entire world!

“Don’t worry, Azir foresaw everything,” the Flower Goddess said softly.
