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

“I will follow His Majesty the Emperor until the end of time.”

Sivir and Asna also became stronger under the baptism of power.

Of the six, Ying felt an incredible surge of power within her. She had been staying in the desert for some time, occasionally venturing out to excavate ancient civilizations that had been buried. However, the history buried by the yellow sand was far less glorious than the history presented by the era in which it was recorded. At this moment, she finally understood why Shurima had the ability to instigate a war between the six nations.

Because the power of the ascended beings is indeed too great!

If a hundred of them came, wouldn't that just unify Teyvat?

For a moment, Ying even considered staying in Shurima to be the emperor's lackey... But no, I must travel through the seven kingdoms and reunite with my brother at the end of the road.

But it's okay to be a little bit for now, right?

With that thought in mind, Ying happily accepted the power.

After a long time, when the power within Nasus and the others reached a certain limit, the radiance of the Sun Disc slowly dissipated. The five Ascended, reborn and freed from the ancient forms ravaged by time and curses, now presented themselves to the world with only two words—powerful!

"Those who ascend should lead mortals to prosperity."

Su Chen gave them orders.

Nasus and the others knelt down, saying, "We will obey His Majesty the Emperor's will."

Upon seeing this, the citizens of the royal city erupted in cheers.

"Emperor!"

"Emperor!"

"Emperor!"

The shouts were deafening. In this royal city, in this desert, an ancient civilization was rising like a blazing sun.

Outside of Narimar, in an oasis, the figure of lightning landed and stood on a hillside gazing into the distance, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"This is Shurima? Such powerful strength, no wonder Kaldordia values ​​it so much."

Looking up at the enormous figure standing between heaven and earth, Ying was both amazed and somewhat puzzled.

Because she sensed a familiar aura from that enormous figure. It wasn't the power from the desert, nor was it related to the broken plate. Instead, it was the power of the origin of lightning, or even... the power of Lightning Annihilation and Eternity.

But that was clearly the power of Cardodia.

Ying planned to go to the city first to see what this so-called Ascension Ceremony was all about, and whether it could be even more lively than the Dragon King Festival.

...

The ascension ceremony lasted for half a day before it ended. Of course, this was only the end of Emperor Azir's work. Next, the priest Nasus would preside over the ceremony, on the one hand to promote the spirit and will of Shurima to his people, and on the other hand to publicize the glorious deeds of His Majesty the Emperor, so that the new generation of people would know how great their emperor had been.

This process will last for two days, and with the subsequent time for the people to enjoy themselves, according to the old Shurima tradition, it will probably take at least ten days to half a month for the excitement to completely dissipate.

"Traveler, how are you feeling?"

Ying had nothing to do, so she came down from the stage and met up with Paimon.

"It was great." Ying blinked. "This trip was worthwhile."

It wasn't just a wasted trip, it was a huge win! Although the power granted to her by the Sun Disc was much less than that of Nasus and the others, it was still far more powerful than elemental forces.

And since it's mostly free, I'm very happy.

"Hehe~ That's good, let's go, there's lots of delicious food over there!"

Paimon couldn't wait any longer.

Ying glanced back at Nasus and the others who were busy working, but no one paid her any attention. So she nodded, and the two of them walked away from the crowd, arriving at the busiest street in the royal city. Because most people were at the statue, the street was relatively quiet for the time being, but there were many festival stalls, with all kinds of antiques, weapons, fruits, and food.

"I want this!" *2

Paimon pointed to a string of fragrant meatballs, but at the same time another finger stretched out. The three of them met each other's eyes and showed surprised expressions.

"General?! What are you doing here?!"

...

After granting him power, Su Chen returned to the palace.

"Thanks for your hard work."

The two, the Great Compassion Tree King and his companion, came forward to greet them.

Su Chen chuckled: "What hardship I've endured is nothing compared to the hardship Nasus has faced. The real trouble lies in all the tedious and complicated matters that follow."

He suddenly realized that choosing Contract Summoning was a brilliant decision. Nasus alone was a huge win, and the others were just bonus rewards.

"Azir, come here for a moment." The Great Tree King suddenly pulled him inside.

"what happened?"

Someone has prepared a gift for you.

As we walked deeper into the palace, in the courtyard, the adorable Nasita sat on a chair waiting, her short little legs dangling in the air.

She had just finished watching the most exciting part of the Ascension Ceremony and came here specifically to wait. When she noticed someone coming in, she jumped off her chair and ran happily towards Su Chen.

Brake! Stop! Salute!

"Father!"

“Naxi Da,” Su Chen smiled, “I thought you were in Sumeru City.”

"Of course I had to come on such an important day."

The Great Tree King smiled and said, "She has prepared a gift for you."

"Oh?"

"Father, come with me!"

Nasita, hand in hand with her father, flew out of the palace, out of Narimalge, and then stopped in a desert area to the north.

While Su Chen was still wondering, Naxida clapped her hands and said, "Come out!"

The next moment, the sand on the ground suddenly turned into a flowing vortex, and a huge figure rushed out from under the sand.

Upon seeing Him appear, Su Chen was stunned for a while before recognizing Him as his old friend, Apep.

At this moment, Apep, due to being struck by the Heavenly Nail, had his body turned into sand to adapt to the environment. However, he had not been tainted by the Red King's forbidden knowledge, so his condition was still relatively good. Since Su Chen's return, he had been thinking about when to sit down and have a chat with him, to reason with him, and see if he could pull this guy over to be a cow... oops! A god general of Shurima.

However, what puzzled Su Chen was that Apep looked a bit... miserable at this moment?

He was weak and his body was covered in wounds.

Su Chen frowned and asked, "Appepp, what's going on here?"

Apep stirred up the yellow sand, but only dared to stir up a little bit. Hearing Su Chen's words, he didn't seem too willing to answer.

"It's just a friendly exchange with others."

"Oh? There's something in this desert that could threaten you? Is it a demon god who returned from the Dark Sea?"

Apep didn't speak, his large, lantern-like eyes looking at Nasida.

"Azir, you really have a good daughter." The Grass Dragon's voice was laced with resentment.

"?"

Nasita wrinkled her delicate nose: "Appepp, I didn't call you here to talk about these things."

"So, what's going on?"

“Father,” Nasita smiled, “Apep said he’d like to protect the desert and become one of your generals!”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Apep, her smile widening.

"Isn't that right, Appepp? We agreed on that back then."

A lovely smile that everyone would praise, but in Appepp's eyes, that smile became the most terrifying devilish smile in the world!

You've all been fooled by her appearance; this woman is a devil!

Apep vowed never to recall that memory again—a blond traveler appeared in his territory with two little ones. He initially thought they were just ignorant trespassers, but the little ones declared they were searching for a gift for their father, and that it was him, the great Grass Dragon Apep.

No one could challenge the Grass Dragon King's majesty, so what followed was naturally an earth-shattering battle. But what he didn't expect was that the little Grass God of Sumeru actually possessed such terrifying power!

Have you ever seen the god of wisdom use his fists to reason with people?

I've seen it before, Apep!

"In the name of the Father!" Nasita shouted as she fought, chanting the true name of the great Emperor Azir.

She somehow produced a cross as a weapon, and each attack was ridiculously powerful. Although Apep was not corrupted by the forbidden, the damage caused by the Heavenly Nail had not fully recovered even after five hundred years of recuperation... Even though he felt that even if he recovered, he might, maybe, probably still lose.

I don't understand it, I don't understand it at all.

How could something so small possess such terrifying power?!

“Apep?” Nasita’s question interrupted the grass dragon’s recollection.

He maintained a minimum of arrogance and said to Su Chen, "Azir, since you also rebel against this unjust order, then we can cooperate... That is to say, just like the Grass God's suggestion, I will help you make Shurima stronger."

Su Chen looked at Naxi Da.

The latter gave a cute wink.

The goddess of flowers smiled and clapped her hands: "This is truly a cause for celebration."

The Great Tree King couldn't help but chuckle, recalling the arrogance of the latter when she and Su Chen visited Apep's territory years ago. Compared to now, things have really changed.

...

For Su Chen, Naxida was indeed a great gift.

Well, something just doesn't feel quite right.

Nasida actually managed to persuade Appepp? Well, it certainly wasn't that simple. Just look at the fear in Appepp's eyes; he must have suffered horrific treatment before his death.

There was nothing wrong with this originally.

Su Chen recalled the time when he did the Little Grass God Legend quest, and the huge difference made him feel a little unreal.

So Nasita, who taught you to be so reasonable?

Nasida replied without hesitation, "That's how my teacher taught me."

Wisdom is a necessary element for exploring truth, while power is the tool to ensure that wisdom can be put into practice.

Therefore, Nasus believed that people should have wisdom but also strength. Under his influence, Narcida always knew how to persuade people with reason.
