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

Castle tower.

When Su Chen appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of Raiden Shin and Torachiyo.

"Teacher, where did you come from?"

Up in the attic, the two were sitting and drinking tea.

Gods have long and boring days. Like Raiden Shin, he spends his days drinking tea, daydreaming about Inazuma, chatting with his friends... oh right, he also has to keep up with his daily training.

But spiritual practice takes time and effort; it requires a balance between work and rest. Yes, that's no excuse for slacking off every day. ^_^

"It flew over in a flash, how about that, isn't it amazing?" Su Chen laughed.

Torachiyo blinked: "Can you teach me?"

"Your skills are not yet sufficient to learn it."

"When can I start learning?"

"When you reach my level."

"How can I reach the level of a teacher?"

"Learn powerful supernatural abilities."

"Then teach me, teach me."

"No, you're not skilled enough right now; you can't learn it."

"That..."

Torachiyo was bewildered, feeling that something was amiss.

Raiden smiled and said, "Alright, alright, you're bullying Chiyo as soon as you get back."

Su Chen laughed.

"By the way, where are Shadow and Divine Child?"

"Shadow has gone to deal with the general's matter. Divine Child is going with her. She will contact us if anything unexpected happens."

After comprehending Lightning: Eternal Annihilation, Shadow's strength has increased significantly. In addition, with a new understanding of eternity, bearing the wishes of all beings, he has achieved a new Eternal Moment. Now, his chances of defeating the Puppet General are very high.

The outcome could be decided in no time.

Su Chen never doubted this.

Now that the Shadow has defeated the General, it's time for Inazuma to lift the isolationist edict.

"There's something I need to tell you." Su Chen told Raiden Shin about the pressure from the three kingdoms. Although it was Katodia who made the decision, the Raiden sisters are the real rulers, and there will be a lot of interaction between Inazuma and Sumeru in the future.

To be honest, those scrap metal pieces in the desert could fetch a lot of money if sold outside, especially in Liyue. Su Chen also needs to consider bringing the Yanhuang Merchant Guild in, so that they can connect Sumeru, Liyue, Mondstadt, and Inazuma as one line.

He wasn't worried that the Luo family would turn bad if they became too powerful. No matter how big they became, no matter how many centuries or millennia passed, Old Master Luo would still be Old Master Luo.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that with him in control behind the scenes, he can handle any unexpected situations.

"Joining forces with Shurima to exert pressure... that shouldn't be too difficult, but we need to be careful when dealing with the desert afterwards, after all, that emperor's strength is truly unfathomable." Raiden frowned slightly. "Kadodia, if you were to face him, what are your chances of winning?"

Su Chen thought about it carefully: "Given the current situation, it's probably not possible."

Although absorbing the energy of the Heavenly Nail allowed him to advance further in his complete form, he still couldn't reach the level of a fully-fledged dragon.

"What if it's at its peak?"

As she spoke, Raiden took out the Heart of Thor and said with a smile, "Its power awakened me back then, but it's not very useful now. The Heart of Thor holds your authority. I had planned to give it to you before the War of Kanria. Now, let's consider it a continuation of the choice I couldn't make back then."

Su Chen hesitated for a moment before accepting it.

Now that they've decided to exert pressure, it's time to let the world know about Cardodia's return.

"Give me a moment."

He ascended to the heavens and began to absorb the heart of the gods.

The process went very smoothly, after all, Su Chen had already reached the complete dragon form before, and this was simply a return to his peak.

Rumble~~~

As the power of Cardodia continued to surge, thunderclouds rolled across Inazuma, and countless bolts of lightning gathered, as if welcoming the king's return!

On Qinglai Island, the seven guardians raised their heads, all showing expressions of astonishment.

"The Dragon King! It must be the Dragon King returning!"

The dragon lizards all knelt down in worship.

Next came Narukami Island, Kannazuka, Hachiyū Island, and Umijima Island... On Inazuma's territory, the people protected by Kadodia felt the Dragon King's supreme will with unparalleled clarity.

The complete dragon has returned, and all the lightning is cheering. This ancient will has awakened, and it cannot be hidden even if one tries. Not only the people of Inazuma, but also the demons of the continent sensed it immediately.

"First Azir of Sumeru was resurrected, and now Kadodia of Inazuma has also returned, and his strength is even greater... Speaking of which, that Human Emperor of Liyue seems to pop up from time to time, so maybe he's not really dead."

"Demons and gods are rising up together. Could it be that the second war between demons and gods is about to begin?"

Those hidden great demons thought to themselves.

If the war between the demons and gods were to break out again, they would surely fight it out.

Roar! !

In the sky, a lightning dragon, its massive body coiled across the heavens, spread its wings, and terrifying thunderclouds danced with every breath it exhaled.

As the immense power descended, an ancient and majestic voice resounded in the minds of the people of Inazuma.

“I am Cardodia.”

The people inside Inazuma Castle shouted in unison.

"Your Majesty the Dragon King! Your Majesty the Dragon King has returned!"

With tears in their eyes, someone exclaimed excitedly, "After five hundred years, the Dragon King has finally returned!"

Not only have they returned, but they have become even stronger.

After five hundred years of accumulation, the ancient dragon king's soul was completely annihilated by the shadow, and that part of its power was absorbed by Kadodia. In addition, due to his fusion talent, he is now much stronger than when he was fighting against the laws of nature.

"Perhaps I can go further and reach the level of the Nibelungen." Feeling the surging power within him, Su Chen murmured softly.

He hadn't expected that his strength would increase so much once the Dragon King's authority was complete.

Thinking about it carefully, he overlooked the enhancement effect of the template after the talent fusion, plus the absorption of the Heavenly Nail and the will of the remnant soul of the Ancient Dragon King. Just the latter alone means that when he was fighting against the Heavenly Principle Maintainer, he was not even in the complete dragon state. He only relied on his talent to support the template, allowing his combat power to reach the level of a complete dragon.

Now, Cardodia's power has reached a new level.

Thinking about it this way, if the Emperor of the Sands could restore Shurima to its peak condition and merge with the Sun Disc talent, perhaps this time he could really pin the Sustainer to the ground.

Having pondered this, he gathered all the endless lightning into his body, and then his body transformed into purple lightning and returned to the Sky Keep.

Upon his return, Raiden exclaimed in amazement, "Your current power should be comparable to that of the Desert Emperor, right?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "Perhaps."

He can definitely fight now, but once Shurima recovers to its peak or even develops further, the power of the Desert Emperor will increase even further. Moreover, if he can fully activate the power of the Sun Disk, surpassing the laws of nature will be no problem.

Of course, Cardodia has fused with the ability to devour, and his limits are still unknown.

Lei Dianzhen, of course, was unaware of this, so he smiled and said, "Now we can trade with the desert with peace of mind."

Equal trade is based on the premise that both sides are of equal strength. Now that Inazuma has Kadodia and the even stronger Shadow, even if the Emperor of Shurima and his Ascended army are very strong, they would not dare to easily invade Inazuma.

"Thank you." Su Chen gently embraced Lei Dianzhen.

It seems simple to easily give up the power of the heart of the gods. Both the wind god and the rock god have their own considerations. But Raiden Shin had planned to do so five hundred years ago. Her decision back then was entirely based on personal feelings.

Raiden was taken aback at first, but the surprise in his eyes quickly turned into infinite tenderness, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a happy smile.

Stare~~

Beside her, Torachiyo stared intently with wide eyes.

"I'll tell her when Ying comes back," said the great hero, Tiger Chiyo.

Su Chen said blankly, "Before that, go practice swinging your sword 100,000 times. You're not allowed to eat tonight if you don't finish."

"Teacher, I was wrong!!!"

...

The bond between gods doesn't need many words.

As the morning light shone into the courtyard and fell on the tatami mats through the open wooden window, Su Chen, who was fast asleep, slowly opened his eyes.

What came into view was Raiden Shin, who was looking at her with a smile, his hands supporting his chin.

Her exquisite, flawless face was so close, and her pair of purple gem-like eyes flowed with boundless tenderness. With a slight blink, the charm she conveyed was so captivating that one could not extricate oneself from it.

Her long, silky hair cascaded down, concealing the radiant beauty of her chest.

Su Chen laughed and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I just want to watch."

"That's so boring."

Raiden tilted his head slightly, puzzled, while Su Chen rolled over and got up.

The morning light faded and disappeared, the wind and clouds shifted, the sun rose and the moon set... Not long after, the tenderness in the room was broken by a voice—

"Sister! Sister! I did it!!"

The two people in the room were both stunned.

The next moment, Raiden Shin transformed into a substitute and merged into Su Chen's body.

boom!

So excited that he forgot to knock, Ying pushed the door open, his excitement instantly turning into surprise.

"See? I told you Makoto definitely wasn't there!" said Torachiyo, who was following behind. "How could something like this happen when Makoto was in the same room as the teacher?"

Su Chen glared at her fiercely.

Kage didn't dwell on Chiyo's words, but instead asked in confusion, "Kadodia, when did you get back? What are you doing in my sister's room?"

"I came back yesterday, and I was waiting for you to come out. Your sister... well, she made a small breakthrough in her cultivation technique. She went into seclusion yesterday. I was reading in her room, and when I got sleepy, I just went to sleep."

"Is that so?" Shadow quickly laughed. "Cardodia, I have defeated the general!"
