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

“Baal.” Asmodeus turned his head.

"Greetings, Lord Baal." Marikata bowed slightly.

The Four Shadows are undoubtedly the lower-level administrators of Sky Island, and all the shadows summoned here are directly under their management.

The gentle Lord Baal, the ruler of life, enjoys a high reputation among the people.

Because she created all living things together with Phanes, she is the mother of all living beings.

"What's wrong?" Noticing the awkward atmosphere between the two, Baal smiled and said, "Asmodeus, there seems to be a problem at the Primordial Sea of ​​the Womb. Would you like to come with me to take a look?"

"The original womb?"

Asmodeus frowned slightly.

The womb is the life source of Teyvat, and there can be no mishap.

As the heart of the womb, Aegory is still in her elven form and doesn't have much power. If she encounters an enemy, she would indeed be difficult to stop... but that's probably not the case. If an enemy were to attack, Baal wouldn't be able to handle it so easily. Is this a minor problem? Oh well, I'll go check it out.

Asmodeus nodded, glancing at Marikata: "In any case, remember your place next time."

Marikata did not speak.

"Let's go."

Barr chuckled softly.

“Lord Baal,” Marikata called out to her, “Your Majesty, Mother of All Living Beings, war is about to break out on the earth. Your children will die in the war. How pitiful they are! Are you going to just stand by and watch this disaster unfold?”

“Marikata, kind fairy, I will answer your question solemnly.” Baal’s expression turned serious. “Just as the constellation of all things is reflected in the starry sky, everything has its own ‘destiny’ in its operation. Human history is unfolding, just like Amma hundreds of years ago. That is the history of history. In this light, war is an inevitable and unstoppable part of human history.”

"And our duty, Marikata, is to guide humanity, but before that, never forget the will of the Lord of the High Heavens. The great Phanes wants to create a world where humanity can live peacefully, a world where they must first be able to take care of themselves. If war is inevitable, then only those who have experienced the flames of war can truly grow up."

Marikata murmured, "A world where humans live peacefully... but they are so weak. When the elemental power of Teyvat erupts, one day the gods will be born from the rift in time. What can tiny humans do then?"

Balwan said, “At that time, the great Fanes will make his own decision. Marikata, don’t let narrow-minded kindness blind you. Look further ahead, and you will see the prosperity of mankind many years from now. They will experience history, remember history, and then absorb those past experiences to create a greater future.”

Marikata understood.

If humanity wants to progress, it needs to preserve the traces of history and move forward through continuous accumulation. Everything in the past will serve as a warning for the future, helping us to walk on the right path.

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Excellency."

"In that case, go and do your job."

Marikata nodded and drifted away.

“You’ve been too gentle with her,” Asmodeus said, watching everything unfold silently.

Bahr chuckled, "He's a good boy."

"She offended her master."

"But did the master punish her? If the master felt offended, he wouldn't have let her leave."

Asmodeus remained silent.

"Let's go."

"Yes, it's time to go to the original fetal sea."

"No need, let's go have some tea."

Asmodeus was taken aback, then frowned: "You bastard."

She could tell at a glance that it wasn't a problem with the original fetal sea at all, but rather that Baal had come to the rescue and deliberately let Marikata leave.

Bar chuckled: "I've recently grown a fine tea. Let's try it first, and if it's acceptable, we can take it to our master."

Asmodeus's brow immediately relaxed.

On the ancient tree.

Lord Fanes shook his head inwardly.

Although Asmodeus has the highest combat strength, Baal is still superior in terms of intelligence... Is this what they call the fairness of fate? As expected, there are differences among the four shadows.

...

[In the year 1100, war began to unfold in Teyvat. The appearance of monsters led nations to place greater emphasis on military force, ushering in an era of martial prowess.]

Although they couldn't use elemental powers, the physical abilities of people in this era were far superior to those of later generations. After a decade of development, each nation had built a relatively powerful military force.

As you predicted, after dealing with the monster invasion, the appearance of regular armies also began to be used in the management of relations between countries. Initially, it was for deterrence, then it took the guise of "sparring" to lead to military confrontations, and finally, due to international friction, it led to the outbreak of war.

In the year 1150, the Continental War broke out, with the seven kingdoms fighting each other, and the flames of war spreading throughout Teyvat.

"It's really chaotic."

On Sky Island, Su Chen, who was quietly observing all of this, couldn't help but shake his head.

With a sharp weapon in the body, the murderous heart starts from the beginning.

As civilization has developed to this stage, war is inevitable; otherwise, where would all that military force go?

However, you need to accumulate experience to do things better, and war is no exception. If you don't know any strategies or tactics, you can only fight randomly. Both sides concentrate all their forces, and then the commander-in-chief shouts "Charge!" and everyone goes in together.

Forget about unit counters and favorable weather and terrain. Just pick up your weapons and get to work!

Su Chen used to find it unbelievable, but now that he has seen it with his own eyes, he has realized that practice makes perfect and that even the most victorious generals have grown through countless battles.

If we were to employ the Thirty-Six Stratagems at this moment, the situation would likely change immediately.

However, civilization has not yet developed to that level. Not to mention strategies, even weapons and armor are very simple, giving it a barbaric feel of Stone Age chieftains fighting each other.

Su Chen did not intervene. He closed his eyes to deduce the rules of the world. When he opened his eyes again, the situation of the seven kingdoms had changed dramatically over the past century.

One of the kingdoms, named 'Yi', unearthed the ruins of the Kingdom of Amma, obtained the wisdom of the prophet, and forged weapons and equipment that surpassed the current era. Using this advantage, they swept across three surrounding kingdoms in a few decades, greatly expanding their territory.

Seeing this, the remaining three kingdoms formed an alliance for the first time during the war to jointly resist the invasion of Yi.

After another three years of war, both sides were severely weakened and chose to cease hostilities.

The king of the city was very wise. He came to his senses after being too eager to attack the city at the beginning, and immediately began to focus on development, embarking on the path of accumulating grain and delaying the declaration of kingship.

Given the state of his territory, his development speed far exceeds that of the other three countries, and the longer the time goes on, the greater the advantage he accumulates will be.

At the same time, he secretly sent envoys to sow discord among the three kingdoms, luring one and forcing the other, intending to gradually dismantle them.

In the following decade, a large number of military talents emerged in various countries, and all sorts of intrigues and schemes were employed.

"Interesting. It's true that there's no shortage of talent in any era."

Su Chen revealed a look of great interest.

In 1170, war broke out again. Yi, with overwhelming superiority, broke up the alliance of the three kingdoms, defeating them one by one, and achieving unification in just three years.

Ten years later, the civilization of Yi began to flourish. Its ruler integrated the cultural ideas of the seven kingdoms, taking the best and discarding the worst, and ultimately assimilating them into Yi.

[After twelve hundred years, only towns remained on the continent of Teyvat, a civilization of unprecedented renown, praised by all the gods.]

"Although the scale is far smaller than that of the Seven Kingdoms of later generations, the current situation is not bad."

Su Chen had already prepared to restart the game a second time, but at least for now, the development of Yi's civilization is still in line with his expectations.

At this time, Teyvat was experiencing a severe drought, and Su Chen flapped his wings, causing a torrential downpour.

The people of the town cheered.

"The master seems very happy."

In a courtyard, four shadows gathered.

Looking at the ground washed away by drought, Istaru said, "The master didn't abandon the land; he just didn't want to interfere too much with the development of human civilization."

Asmodeus said, "As long as human desires do not overstep the bounds of heaven, the master will not care."

Baimon raised his head and looked at the starry sky above: "From the myriad manifestations of the constellations, I see that the development of mankind is not always smooth sailing, and the presentation of destiny is a cyclical closed loop."

Asmodeus turned his head: "Closed loop? What do you mean?"

Baimon shook his head.

Baal pursed his lips and said, "We'll find out soon enough."

"Marikata, it seems the Yi have indeed unified the continent."

The land of the Immortal Spirit Clan.

The spirits who once roamed the earth were also watching over the situation on the ground.

Seeing the prosperity of the town, they were naturally happy.

But Marikata couldn't help but recall what Baal had said: that humanity experiences history, remembers history, and no matter how prosperous everything is, it will eventually become part of history. All things rise to their peak and then decline. How long can the current history last?

Her worries soon surfaced.

Unlike Ama, Yi did not have the idea of ​​usurping the heavens, thanks to the effects of the immortal spirits traveling across the continent. However, the kingdom's prosperity was short-lived. When the first king died, the descendants indulged in a life of extravagance and debauchery, constantly emptying the national treasury. Years of pleasure soon led to Yi's decline.

The gods in the heavens looked on with worry, but dared not set foot on the ground without Phanes's command.

[In the fourteen hundred years since the founding of the state, at the end of the year, numerous warlords rose up, with three main forces. One of them held the emperor hostage and commanded the feudal lords, while the other two each guarded their own territory, forming a tripartite balance of power.]

[In the year 1450, the city fell, and the continent of Teyvat officially entered a state of three-way struggle for supremacy. The situation remained deadlocked for thirty years until one of the nations committed the crime of usurping the divine power. The Sustainer threw the Frost Nail from Sky Isle, and the nation was destroyed, leaving only two.]

"Indeed, the only lesson humanity has learned from history is that it never learns from history."

After more than a thousand years, Su Chen thought that his simulation would not require many nails, but it turned out that this idea was too naive.

Even under the rule of the Seven Gods in later generations, this was still the case. There were still people who were unwilling to be bound by the shackles of the natural order and wanted to break the norm, transcend the Five Elements, and soar through the universe. Not to mention the current situation on the continent. If we just let humans do what they want, the World Tree would be overturned in less than two thousand years.

"It's time to consider moving to the next stage."

Glancing at the stagnant creation progress, Su Chen pondered the question of how to introduce the Demon God into Teyvat.

After all, Sky Island cannot rule the land forever. There needs to be a representative between the sky and the land to draw a clear line for any overstepping of authority, so as to maintain order.

The fairies are too gentle; they probably cannot fulfill this mission well.

However, humanity's current resources are insufficient; rashly introducing demons could destroy our existing civilization in an instant.

So for the next thousand years, Su Chen's main task was to witness the rise and fall of human civilization, and... the actions of the Maintainers in constantly throwing nails from the sky to maintain order.

Although the fairies once came to him to protest this behavior, considering the future responsibilities of the maintainer, Su Chen would only verbally reprimand her at most when she made a mistake in judgment.

The position of upholder of justice is not an easy one to hold.

In fact, Asmodeus also loved those little humans, but due to her duty, she had to make a decision, a decision that should have been made by Su Chen.
