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

Three days later, you returned to the amber stone. The Stone Immortal, having heard of your great deeds, prophesied that you would one day be a being comparable to a god, despite your human form.

With the help of the Stone Immortal, you successfully obtained the purest part of the amber and, by incorporating other precious minerals, forged it into a weapon using the most exquisite forging techniques.

[You have inscribed the essence of prophetic arts on one side of the sword, and the principles of understanding nature on the other. One side of the hilt is engraved with the arts of agriculture and animal husbandry, while the other side is inscribed with strategies for unifying the world.]

When the sword was forged, the winds and clouds shifted, the world lost its color, and countless eyes turned towards the northern part of Tianheng Mountain.

This sword is named—the Xuanyuan Sword!

Chapter 43 Subduing Fanan and Jinpeng! Mastering the Mantra, News from Morax [7k5]

Clang! —

When the Xuanyuan Sword was born, all things in heaven and earth fell silent, and a hundred-foot-long golden light shot into the sky, piercing through the clouds.

The shimmering light seemed to be the only color in this world, and everyone in the Ji tribe looked up, their eyes glazed over.

Even Shi Xian, who had made the greatest contribution, raised his head at this moment, his shock mixed with immense excitement.

"A divine weapon has been unearthed! This is the sword of the Holy King!"

To be a king is not just about having great strength, but about having the innate demeanor of a king.

Only in this way could the sword he wielded display such power.

Shi Xian never expected that a king could be born among humans in this era.

[The Stone Immortal is captivated by your charisma and has decided to follow you, becoming your first 'immortal'.]

[Immortals are spirits nurtured by heaven and earth, worshipped by all things, or revered for their immense power. The existence of the Stone Immortal is exceptionally special; he is one of the many 'spirits' of this ancient land, possessing an extremely strong ability to nurture minerals.]

Your tribe's fortune has been greatly enhanced.

With Shi Xian around, the Ji tribe has countless high-quality ores. You order the tribe to start training more blacksmiths to forge weapons, using war to sustain war and begin expanding the Ji tribe's power.

The reason I did this was not because I wanted to seize power in the war of the gods, but because I had no choice. The appearance of the Xuanyuan Sword attracted the attention of the powerful beings near Tianheng Mountain, and even a demon god sent an envoy to try to recruit the entire Ji tribe as his subjects.

At that time, demons vied for supremacy, vying for territory, and weak creatures could only survive by attaching themselves to powerful demons.

[A being known as the 'Dream Demon God,' whose supernatural powers control countless valiant warriors, is highly renowned among the demon gods. He has heard of the existence of the Ji clan and has extended a recruitment invitation to you.]

"The Dream Demon God, that guy is not to be trifled with."

Inside the central palace of the Ji clan resided many of its core members.

Hemansa had lived here for a long time. Once, the Dream Demon God was taking in his subjects and passed by. She only glanced at him from afar and was then trapped in a strange dream. When she woke up again, it was three days later.

For insignificant humans, demons are supreme beings.

A god who cannot be looked at directly is terrifying because he is full of unknowns.

The elders of the Ji clan fell silent.

If we refuse the demon god's kindness, what if he gets angry and slaughters the Princess clan?

All eyes were focused on the figure at the very top of the palace.

Su Chen stood there, surrounded by a myriad of stars and phenomena, incredibly complex and diverse.

As he moved his fingers, the stars began to move, changing into mysterious patterns that were difficult to fathom.

Shi Xian, leaning on his cane, stared curiously at Su Chen's deductions.

The magic of prophecy is so profound that even immortals cannot fathom its mysteries. Stone Immortal did not know how Su Chen learned this technique; he only saw countless stars shining simultaneously, eventually presenting a mysterious and unpredictable pattern.

After a long while, Su Chen waved his hand, and the stars disappeared. He turned around, his deep pupils gazing at everyone.

"No need to worry. Demons are dancing on this land now, and the Dream God has many enemies. He can't possibly come to deal with us personally."

From the deduction he just made, he saw the possibilities for the future.

However, this possibility is not guaranteed to happen.

It's simply unrealistic for a person to completely predict a demon god, unless Su Chen also reaches the level of a demon god.

So he merely deduced the fate of the Princess and then used the result to glean information about the movements of the Dream Demon God.

He originally planned to lead the Ji tribe to migrate, but the results of this simulation made him change his mind.

[The Dream Demon God is incredibly powerful. Your current abilities are insufficient to directly confront a Demon God, but you are not worried because you know that the Demon God cannot personally come to the Ji tribe. If any being below the Demon God level arrives, you can slay them.]

A month later, a battle erupted in the vicinity of Floating Splendor Pool. The clash between the two demonic forces caused the world to lose its color, mountains to crumble, and innocent people to be caught in the crossfire, fleeing in panic.

[When those nomadic tribes arrive here, take the opportunity to incorporate them, thus strengthening the power of the Ji tribe.]

[Subsequently, you ordered the construction of numerous large crossbows and the development of cannons using ancient technology, creating a series of fortified passes along the mountainside.]

In addition, you began to spread writing and ideas within the tribe, changing the way the people lived, ensuring they were well-fed and clothed while also cultivating manners, thus sowing the seeds of civilization.

Civilization drives progress. For you, the strength of the Ji clan lies not only in their fighting prowess but also in their enlightened thinking.

At that time, a drought struck, and food was scarce. You presided over the sacrificial ceremony, ascended the high platform, and commanded wind and rain to gather. Instantly, thunder roared and lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a heavy rain. The people of the Ji tribe cheered with joy.

You have mastered the power of 'Truth'.

[Your Human Emperor template ability has been triggered, faith has been gathered, and your strength has been greatly enhanced.]

"So this is the correct way to use the Human Emperor template."

Feeling the newly surging power within his body, Su Chen suddenly realized the power of the Human Emperor template.

Unlike the Sword Saint template, which directly grants him powerful sword skills, this template allows Su Chen to possess power comparable to that of a god.

As long as the Ji tribe continues to develop and its faith continues to grow, Su Chen's power will continue to increase.

In this process, he will gradually transform and become a true emperor.

The power of faith is also a source of power for demons. Demons protect their people and fight for territory in order to collect faith.

But collecting faith is not just about expanding power; it also requires heartfelt worship and respect.

So far, only the original members of the Ji tribe and a small number of people from other tribes who have been incorporated into them have truly submitted to Su Chen.

Having realized this, you began to place even greater emphasis on the faith of your people. Many who had previously joined the Ji tribe had heard of your name but had never seen you, let alone known of your power.

The spread of your fame can be unreal, so in the following year, you led your people on numerous campaigns, slaying ferocious beasts. Your achievements won over everyone. Outstanding women wanted to become your wives and bear you powerful offspring, while men looked up to you as their role models. Everyone respected and even revered you.

[By the mandate of Heaven, you have truly accepted the title of 'Empress Ji,' and will make these two words resound throughout the entire Tianheng Mountain area. There is one man with one sword who can slay the evil dragons of the mountains and the giant beasts of the sea; his name is 'Xuanyuan Shi.']

Because of your reputation, more and more humans are coming to visit you, and the Ji tribe's population is growing rapidly, while their territory is expanding at an alarming pace.

[But fame brings more than just benefits. Your reputation has once again piqued the interest of the Dream Demon God, who has dispatched his messenger, a powerful Yaksha named 'Golden Roc' (Yes, that's him. Since his name from the Xiao Demon God War period is unavailable, 'Golden Roc' is used as a substitute.)]

Jinpeng is extremely powerful. Although he is not a demon god, his reputation is enough to strike fear into the hearts of countless beings. He is a newly recruited 'little brother' of the Dream Demon God, and now he has descended with the will of the demon god.

The people of the Ji clan began to tremble with fear at the Demon God's reputation, but you remained unconcerned, for your strength was now far beyond what it had been a year ago.

"Golden Roc Yaksha... that should be Xiao, right? The fact that he was controlled by the demon god makes sense."

"In the game, Zhongli killed the Dream Demon God and rescued Xiao from being controlled, but... I'm not confident of defeating the Demon God right now."

Su Chen felt his power was constantly increasing, especially after the enhancement of the effect of faith, the Human Emperor Template greatly boosted his strength.

If he were given more time to develop and expand the Ji tribe and gather more faith, he would be confident that he could compete with those demon gods.

But now, once you fail, there's no chance to start over.

The simulation failure is not terrible, but it is regrettable, because the next simulation may not encounter this template again.

You are aware of the existence of the Golden-Winged Yaksha, a character you are familiar with. If possible, you intend to subdue him, but if forced to, you will have no choice but to kill him.

Because of the actions of the Dream Demon God, the elders suggested that you relocate the Princess clan, but you refused.

At this moment, the Stone Immortal told you about the Golden Roc Yaksha.

"He was originally a Yaksha born in the Tianheng Mountain area. He was powerful, but kind-hearted and never harmed others."

"Now that he is under the command of the Dream Demon God, I don't think this is what he wants. If you, the Queen, are willing to subdue him, I have a method that you may want to try."

Shi Xian was also a kind-hearted person. Having lived on Tianheng Mountain for a long time, he knew about the Golden Roc Yaksha.

Firstly, they couldn't bear to see the other person die a violent death.

Secondly, if the Golden Roc Yaksha could stay in the Ji tribe, it would be like adding a great general to the Ji tribe.

"What method?" Su Chen asked.

"The Yaksha clan is skilled in battle and prefers to travel alone, but I know of another one who appeared at Lingju Pass. Her name is 'Fa Nan'. If we can find her, perhaps we can awaken the Golden Roc Yaksha's reason."

"To subdue the enemy?"

Su Chen hesitated for a moment, then decided to give it a try.

Fanan and Jinpeng were both among the Five Yakshas, ​​so they must have had a good relationship.

The Golden Roc Yaksha could arrive at any moment, so you entrusted the tribe to the Stone Immortal for protection, and then came to Lingju Pass alone.

Before setting out, you consulted a divination for yourself. Following the guidance of the divination, you quickly found the place where the Yaksha Fanan dwelled.

boom!

A towering column of water suddenly appeared. Lingju Pass was extremely high, with rivers flowing below. A blue figure stood on the water column.

It was a body formed from water elements, with two horns on its head and fish-bone-like joints on its back.

"Humans, leave this place."

In this era, powerful beings all have their own "territory." Su Chen trespassed into this place and was regarded as an intruder.

“I am Xuanyuan,” Su Chen said.

"Xuanyuan?"

The color of the water element slowly faded, revealing the appearance of a cute girl.

“I’ve heard of you.” Fa Nan sized up Su Chen. “The chief of that tribe on Tianheng Mountain… Your sword is quite impressive.”

The emergence of the Xuanyuan Sword once attracted the attention of powerful beings near Tianheng Mountain, most of whom coveted this divine weapon.

The reason they didn't take action was firstly because of the Dream Demon God's recruitment of Su Chen.

Secondly, they were naturally wary of Su Chen's power.

However, Vanan did not believe that a human could be that powerful.
