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

"..."

Countless days and nights passed until Feligis, who was guarding outside the lotus platform, couldn't help but turn around and look. Only then did the door slowly open, and a pair of people who looked like a divine couple walked out.

The Flower Goddess nestled beside Su Chen, a satisfied and happy smile on her face.

"Let's go," Su Chen said with a smile, "Let's go see our new home."

...

Narimaj!

In a courtyard within the royal palace.

For the past two weeks, Ying has felt like she's been living in a dream.

He was inexplicably recognized by the Sun Disk, inexplicably taken as a descendant of the emperor by those three terrifying beings, and then inexplicably brought into the palace and treated to the best of food and drink...

Well, this last one is pretty good; at least you don't need to spend money on food or meals anymore.

Stare~~

Feeling Paimon's gaze, Ying asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Traveler, are you really not a descendant of Emperor Azir?" Paimon said, hands on his hips. "Tell me quickly, are you hiding a big secret from me?"

Ying gave an innocent look: "Really, no."

"Maybe you've just forgotten? Didn't you say you'd been asleep for a long time?"

"It is true that he is asleep, but I can confirm that it has nothing to do with that emperor."

Paimon suddenly yelled, "Then we're doomed!"

Ying tilted her head to the side.

"What I mean is, we've been able to eat for free for so many days only because you, Traveler, are mistaken for a descendant of the emperor. If they found out you're not, they'd... Ugh! How terrifying!"

The thought of that terrifying guy named Aatrox made Paimon curl up into a hole.

Ying also looked worried, because she knew very well how terrifying those three ascendants were. She had triggered the Sun Disc, and if they weren't descendants of the Desert Emperor, then it would be troublesome. They might even kill her to prevent the Sun Disc from having any accidents.

“They said they’d wait for His Majesty the Emperor to return and make his own judgment…” Paimon looked at the silent Grand Master of Disciplinary Affairs beside him, “Sino, why don’t you protect us and sneak out?”

Sino didn't want to talk and rolled his eyes at you.

He protects?

Not to brag, but if he were to face that guy named Aatrox, he only needed one move to make the other kneel before him and beg for his life.

In short, Seno is now at a loss. He has been looking for a teacher for a month without success, and has been inexplicably locked up here for half a month. As the Grand Disciplinary Officer of the Order of the Order, he is staying in the palace of the Desert Emperor, and there is a guy who is suspected to be a descendant of the emperor by his side!

Sino felt that his experiences during this period were more exciting than the first half of his life combined.

As for now, because he appeared with Ying, he was treated as a 'guard' by Aatrox and the other two.

“No,” Ying suddenly said. “We can’t wait like this. If we can’t escape, we can at least use this identity to find Su Chen’s whereabouts.”

Upon realizing this, Ying immediately took action.

There was no escaping it. Although the three Ascended were very kind to her, she could not leave Narimarjad until His Majesty the Emperor returned to confirm.

Since that's the case, let's find Su Chen first, and then... Su Chen, quickly use your invincible wisdom to think of a solution!

Seeing Ying walk out, Paimon quickly followed. Seno realized that this wouldn't do; if he, as Ying's guard, didn't follow her, he might be charged with dereliction of duty and could really be killed.

The three left the courtyard.

As we walked along, we saw many guards patrolling the palace.

These palace guards, who were transformed from the gilded troupe, have now begun to possess the qualities of the Emperor's guards under Aatrox's tutelage.

However, they did not stop Ying and the other two when they saw them, because Aatrox had already instructed them not to interfere as long as they did not do anything special.

Ying grabbed a guard.

Where is Aatrox?

The guard respectfully said, "Lord Aatrox is in the front hall."

Ying released the other person, thought for a moment, and then waved her hand indifferently: "It's nothing, go down."

The guards accepted the order and left.

Hehe, haha, I don't know why, but it feels so good!

I was always being hunted down in Liyue and Inazuma, but here I'm being treated like a big shot. It feels really good.

Stare~~

Stare~~

Paimon and Seno watched from the side.

Ying coughed lightly: "Let's go, we've got an important clue."

What's so important... Paimon is too lazy to even comment anymore.

The three of them then circled around to the front hall of the palace, where they found not only Aatrox, but also Sivir and Asna.

At this moment, the three ascendants were staring at a letter, seemingly discussing something. When Ying came over, Sivir put the letter away.

Before Ying could even voice her doubts, she was stunned by a piece of news that came her way.

"Traveler, you've come at the right time. News has come from Sumeru City that the new God of Wisdom, the Little Auspicious Grass King, will visit Nerimager to discuss the future of Sumeru with His Majesty the Emperor. Five hundred years have passed, and although we have witnessed the close relationship between the Emperor and the Great Tree King, what exactly is the purpose of that little grass god's visit? None of us know."

"Now that the Emperor is gone, you are the one who has invoked the will of the Sun Disc. Whether or not you are a descendant of the Emperor, you are qualified to represent Shurima in welcoming him."

"?"

Ying: Let me tell you, this is the expression I'll be making Ovo

Paimon asked in confusion, "Why aren't you going?"

Sivir shook her head: "We are not good at negotiation, and we are cursed. It is not clear whether the Grass God is friend or foe, so we cannot let Him know about our situation."

The person is burdened by the curse of Heavenly Law, and the Seven Gods are Heavenly Law's subordinates... at least on the surface they are on Heavenly Law's side, which is why Sivir and the other two are in such a predicament.

When it comes to fighting, they are second to none.

Negotiation is possible, but dealing with deities is something I'm really not good at.

In addition, there's the matter of the curse.

Naturally, one cannot directly contact the Grass God.

They wouldn't have chosen Ying if they hadn't really run out of candidates.

Ying was a little confused: "I'm going to greet the Grass God? But what am I supposed to say?"

"Just find out her background." Sivir waved her hand. "Don't worry, we'll stay hidden. If she really has any ill intentions, we'll just kill her."

Ying, Paimon, and Seno: "(⊙o⊙)"

“However, it’s just news from Sumeru, and we’re not sure if it’s true or not, but we should still be prepared just in case,” Sivir added.

The news came from Sumeru City, but its veracity is still unknown.

But I think it will only take a couple of days.

Strange... Huang Mingming said he was going to find the Flower Goddess and would be back soon, so why is there still no news after half a month?

...

Sumeru City.

The little grass god visits the desert, seeking to confront Emperor Azir!

When the message was transmitted through the void, the entire rainforest instantly erupted in excitement.

Although they had indeed fantasized about the Grass God intervening to stop Emperor Azir from summoning his subordinates for a parade, it was just a fantasy. After all, that emperor was notoriously 'ruthless'. According to the archaeological findings of the desert, the emperor had once single-handedly instigated a war between seven kingdoms. Such behavior must have given him considerable strength, and his temper must have been explosive as well.

They were worried that Little Grass God would be beaten up if he went there.

However, Shurima has been revived and is right next to the rainforest. As the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain. Unless one is male and the other female, there cannot be two kings in Mount Sumeru. Therefore, the gods of both sides will inevitably clash sooner or later.

Moreover, although the little grass god is 'young', it has shown great divine power before, so maybe... it can win?

I'm worried on one hand, but there's nothing I can do on the other.

The sages also stepped forward to express their opinions. The great sage openly expressed his support for the little grass god to meet the desert emperor, and that he should do so with great momentum so as not to diminish the reputation of the god of wisdom.

His plan was simple: if the little grass god never returned, then he would be in charge of Sumeru from then on.

Even if he does come back, he can use that time to accomplish his 'great cause'.

In short, you won't lose money no matter what.

As long as we control enough power, even without the Little Grass God, we will have the leverage to negotiate with that emperor in the future. After all, Shurima has just been revived, and that emperor probably doesn't want to start a war between the two sides immediately.

Given this, and assuming amicable relations between the two sides, Hazard was confident that his wisdom would allow him to persuade the emperor to cooperate with him.

So, even though the Flower Goddess's birthday celebration was something they couldn't afford to spend money on, the Great Sage generously allocated a huge sum of money to give the Little Grass God a grand affair, complete with floats, guards, and all sorts of spices, gems, fruits, and supplies. His performance was definitely number one on the Little Grass God's list of loyal fans.

"You really can't wait." Upon hearing the news, Nasita covered her mouth and laughed, "Teacher, after I leave, I'll leave things here to you."

Nasus nodded: "Don't worry, I'll handle it."

"Be careful. Hazard and that Dr. Fool have put in so much effort; they can't just be building an empty shell."

Nasus said in a low voice, "Their wisdom is not worth mentioning."

Narcida fully agreed with Nasus's words.

Because in front of this teacher, no one dares to claim how wise they are.

After all preparations were complete, Nasita boarded the float and set off, escorted by a troupe of thirty guards.

The float bounced and swayed as it passed through the forest, where forest fairies poked their heads out. It crossed the river, and the fish in the river leaped out of the water. Wherever it went, the whole forest cheered.

Soon the float passed through Kawanyi and entered the desert. Countless desert people watched from afar, for it was a procession of gods, and even the most ferocious desert bandits dared not block the road and rob them.

"This is Narimar?"

The carriage stopped in front of the rebuilt royal city.

Nasita raised her head, curiously surveying the city. A civilization once buried by yellow sand had risen again in the blink of an eye, thanks to the emperor's single thought. What kind of god was that great emperor... her father?

Is he a tyrant as described in historical records?
