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

"I have witnessed many things: death, oblivion... These are the answers you seek, and perhaps in your eyes, they are the only solution to the path to redemption. But I don't like that," Su Chen said softly. "The so-called beauty of regret is nothing more than self-consolation for those who have failed. Since you have the power, why can't you act according to your heart's desire?"

Fukaros pursed her red lips and said, "Who doesn't want to live according to their own ideas? But things are never that easy."

"How will you know if you don't try?" Su Chen smiled. "Speaking of which, didn't you say before that you wanted to go to Liyue? Although there isn't enough time now, you can still travel around Fengdan."

"Huh? You mean..."

"Leave the Cardinals of Decree and Judgment. Anyway, your sins are off, so don't worry. I guarantee that justice will not take notice of you."

"Well..."

Leave the decree machine.

This was an irresistible temptation for Fukaros!

But...

“My consciousness is too strong. If I leave the Prophecy Machine, nothing else can withstand my presence. I can’t just walk openly on the street, can I?” Fukalos blinked, looking somewhat aggrieved. “So there’s still no other way.”

"That's a problem."

The consciousness of a deity cannot be contained by just anything, and to prevent it from being discovered by just anyone, a divine artifact worthy of its status must be created.

...Hmm? A magical artifact.

"Perhaps I need a weapon worthy of my Blademaster archetype."

As he spoke, in the real world, Su Chen raised his right hand.

"Ok?"

Upon seeing this, Fukaros uttered a puzzled sound.

"Please wait a moment, it's a bit far, so it will take a little longer."

...

at the same time.

Liyue, Guili Collection.

Inside a teahouse.

Zhongli leisurely sipped his tea, listening to the latest news about Fontaine.

"Have you heard? Fontaine is judging the water god!"

"Really? Mortals judging gods... This is simply unbelievable."

"Yes, I heard it's related to some kind of apocalyptic crisis."

"Pshaw~ What do you mean by an apocalyptic crisis? If it dares to come to Liyue, it will never return!"

Suddenly, a blinding golden light burst forth from Guiliji Square, and the Xuanyuan Sword, which was originally stuck under the statue, suddenly trembled violently, broke free from the ground, and shot into the air.

"The Xuanyuan Sword! The Xuanyuan Sword has flown away!"

"Where where?"

"It flew away, damn it!"

"The Human Emperor has manifested himself???"

Inside the teahouse, Zhongli continued to leisurely drink tea.

"Boss, another pot, please."

...

Qiang~

Upon acquiring the Xuanyuan Sword, a long-lost power surged into his body.

"Old friend, it's been a long time... uh, it doesn't seem like that long, haha~" Su Chen gently stroked the sword and couldn't help but laugh.

buzzing~~

The Xuanyuan Sword emitted a soft sword chime, as if responding to Su Chen's greeting.

“This is…” Fukalos was stunned. “What an amazing sword! I feel that the power on it is enough to kill a demon god.”

"Be confident, don't rely on your feelings."

Having been nurtured by the Liyue ley lines for thousands of years and influenced by the power of the Human Emperor template, the Xuanyuan Sword itself is capable of slaying demon gods.

Of course, the effect is very different depending on whether someone uses it or not.

"This should be enough for your consciousness to reside in, right?"

"That's enough... But Ryder, where did you steal this sword from? Aren't you sure you won't be chased down?"

He raised his hand, and the sword came.

That's strange, really strange.

Su Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's fine."

Upon hearing this, Fukalos no longer hesitated and his consciousness entered the Xuanyuan Sword.

Su Chen walked out carrying his sword.

To avoid being discovered by the people of Liyue, he first went to the blacksmith and bought a scabbard to put it in.

"Phew~ I never thought I'd actually be out one day. It's unbelievable." Fukaros's voice echoed in Su Chen's mind.

"You sound like a released convict."

"That's right, he's just been released from prison. I've been locked up for five hundred years... Ryder, go check out the street across the street!"

"where?"

"It's that shop with the fruity smell!"

"Have it?"

Yes, I saw it!

How did you detect the scent?

Su Chen shook his head inwardly and walked to the entrance of the street opposite. This was a food street, which was usually crowded with people, but today there were very few people. Because of the previous outbreak of seawater in the lower reaches of the sea in Mello Petersburg, most of the shops were closed, and only a few were still open.

The aroma of fruit wafted from a beverage shop. The owner was actually a Sumeru person, who brought various fruits from the Sumeru Rainforest to make juice. The profit margin was extremely high, and the juice sold very well in Fontainebleau.

Using this method, the boss has made a fortune and has already bought houses in Fontainebleau and Illyria.

But now he's worried that if Fontaine is really flooded, then all his efforts over the past ten years will have been in vain.

"Is a house... really that important to a person?" Fucaros asked. "He actually thought about losing his house first. If the seawater had come in, he would have been dead if he hadn't run away."

"How can I explain this to you? Although life is the most important thing for humans, people can't just live, right? Material needs and spiritual needs are used to fill the gaps in life. Only when all these things are combined can life be complete."

"But we can't risk our lives like this."

"It's not that I don't want it, it's just that I'm unwilling to accept it... Oh right, it's like you've planned for five hundred years, and then all your efforts have come to nothing. How would you feel?"

"Ryder, don't force me to take you down with me!"

Are you just going to keep reopening old wounds, never letting it end?

Su Chen chuckled: "Look, you get angry too, don't you? Humans are the same. Don't think of people as so great. Most people are just ordinary mortals who just want to live a rich and carefree life. They don't care about world-ending crises and they can't care about them either."

"That's just part of our job."

Fukalos understood immediately.

"More or less," Su Chen replied, inserting the straw into the juice bottle. Before he could even drink, he saw the juice in the bottle disappear at a visible rate.

Wow, it tastes so good!

Fukalos let out a satisfied sound.

"???"

Su Chen was taken aback. "You're just a consciousness, and you're drinking juice?"

Fucarus retorted, "What's wrong with consciousness? What law says consciousness can't drink juice?"

Su Chen thought to himself that even if the laws of Fontainebleau were the most inhumane, they could never have imagined such a situation.

But can a consciousness really drink things? And where does it go after drinking?

Forget it, trying to think about common-sense human questions in a world where gods exist is inherently problematic.

“Ryder, I want to eat that,” Fucaros said again. “I can smell the aroma of roasted meat, red peppers and golden fat. Quick, rush over there at the speed of salvation.”

"Go ahead and do it, my foot."

Su Chen was speechless.

But I still went over there.

BBQ shop.

A typical Fontainebleau roast, the specially made roasted ribs are said to be a delicacy that can only be found in Mélo Petersburg. The chef here once served time in prison, secretly learned a couple of tricks, and became a chef after his release.

When cooking, I like to talk to people about life in Melló Petersburg, and I don't seem to think that going to Melló Petersburg is anything shameful.

"Let me tell you, everyone who comes from Mero Petersburg is a talent, capable of anything!" the chef boasted.

Su Chen responded with "uh-huh," picked up a piece of grilled meat with a fork, and put it to his mouth, but it disappeared.

I ate nothing but air.

Looking up, Su Chen realized the chef was still staring at him, so he could only pretend he had food in his mouth and chew hard in the air.

"Here you are, Lord Ryder. These are the roasted ribs you ordered. They taste best when they're hot."

"Thank you," Su Chen said with a smile, looking up.

"Oh! There's no need to thank me... By the way, wasn't Lady Funina with you?"

"She went to take care of what happened before."

"Sigh~ That's true, with earthquakes and tsunamis, I hope these days will end soon."

"You seem to have a pretty good attitude about it."
