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

The war raged on, the demon god fell, and his power after death eroded the earth, bringing all kinds of disasters.

Everything else is manageable, but the plague is a different story. Once someone gets infected, it breaks out rapidly and spreads extremely quickly.

Moreover, this is not something that can be solved simply by having superior physical strength.

Even though Licheng is located in a remote corner, it has experienced two outbreaks of plague.

However, they were all neutralized by Su Chen's exquisite pharmacological abilities.

In addition, there were several other instances where the power of the remnants of the demon god erupted, and even though the Golden Roc Yaksha desperately hoeed the earth, he could not completely prevent the deaths of his people.

There was no way around it; mortals were indeed far too weak in the face of the power of demons.

Su Chen was alone, and it was impossible for him to defend against everything.

Not to mention Licheng, even in Guiliji, which is protected by all the immortals, including the Rock King, the God of Dust, and the God of the Kitchen, people still keep dying.

Being killed by force, even if one or two die, it doesn't matter.

But the plague spread, and many people died.

So, when the Rock King learned of the plague situation in Li City, he sent people to ask for help.

This was, in fact, the first contact between the two major powers.

Whether we are enemies or friends, it all comes down to this one battle.

[You know this journey is unavoidable; there can only be one victor in Liyue. Even if you have no desire to fight for supremacy, how can others believe you?]

For the sake of the people of Li City, you must meet with the Rock King to express your thoughts and also to ascertain his intentions. Therefore, three days after the visit of True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang, you travel alone to Qiongji Wilderness.

The Collection of Returning to Separation!

Standing outside the city gate, Su Chen gazed at the bustling city and was amazed by the scene before him.

Licheng is already an extremely prosperous city in the world, but compared with Guiliji, it is indeed a small fry.

It's not that the technology and craftsmanship are inferior; the main problem is the limited land resources. It's hard to find another piece of land like Qiongji Wilderness in Liyue, otherwise it wouldn't have attracted so many demons to fight over it.

If Licheng is an exquisite pavilion, then Guiliji is a magnificent palace.

Large and magnificent.

The number of its people is countless. According to True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang, the population of Guiliji has exceeded one million.

These people have all grown up through hardships, and most of them have faced desperate crises. The entire Guili tribe has a very strong sense of cohesion.

At the city gate, the guards, holding long spears, stood ramrod straight.

A troop of soldiers charged out of the city.

“This is the Thousand Rocks Formation,” said True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang.

"I've heard a lot about the Thousand Rocks' bravery," Su Chen exclaimed. "Their ability to fight a Demon God is unparalleled in the entire Liyue region."

Although it was achieved with the help of Morax's power, it is still astonishing that a human could do this. Putting aside other things, Su Chen himself could not do it. Although the people of Li City are brave, they can only fight against giant beasts at most.

I wonder what method Lord Yan used. If only I could copy it... or learn from it.

[You enter Guili Town, and everything inside surprises you once again. At the same time, you deeply realize why Licheng can remain a safe haven in this chaotic world. Compared to the prosperity of Guili Town, Licheng is ultimately too small. And given the precedent of the Dream Demon God, Licheng will not become the first target of many demon gods' attacks.]

Guided by the True Lord of Moon-Cut Sun, you ascend to the central palace of Guili Village and encounter the legendary Rock King.

"I've met the Rock King." You show him the most basic respect.

[On the golden throne, Morax is also observing you. You see no hostility in his eyes, only curiosity and respect.]

Morax welcomes you, and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, he leads you to an attic.

[Looking out at the sea of ​​clouds from the attic, you and Morax share drinks and conversation, and in the midst of this lively discussion, a sense of mutual respect arises between you.]

Morax was astonished by your human identity and wisdom, and inquired about your principles of governance. He also shared his own experiences, and from his words, you saw the sincerity of this Rock King, as well as his determination to care for his people.

As a powerful demon god, he originally had no intention of participating in this brutal war, but the situation was such that he could not do as he pleased.

"In this world, demons and gods have risen together. Although I have no intention of vying for supremacy, I am aware of the suffering of the common people," Morax said slowly.

“In chaotic times, no one can find peace,” Su Chen said.

"So what do you think we should do?" Morax asked.

This question was also a way of testing Su Chen's thoughts.

Su Chen put down his wine glass and chuckled, "In times of chaos, there can be no peace. So let's end this chaos. In the current world of Liyue, Guili is in the center, Chilong is the king in the north, the situation in the west is the most chaotic, although there are several forces there, they are not a concern. The south is near the sea, which can be attacked or defended. There are many great demons invading the sea and invading the inland. The Rock King needs to handle this carefully."

Morax hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What about the east?"

Su Chen laughed: "The east? There's only Heuria, isn't she? She poses no threat to the Rock King."

The largest power in the east is Li City. Su Chen's statement implies that he will not get involved in the war.

Morax suddenly said, "I've heard that Li City started from humble beginnings, originally called the Ji tribe. The Ji tribe had no more than a thousand people, and their land was barren and resources were scarce."

Su Chen nodded: "That was indeed the case for the Ji tribe at first. Although the resources in the Tianheng Mountain area were not bad, disasters and plagues often plagued them, causing suffering to the people and making it difficult for them to find a way to survive."

Morax said, "It is thanks to your leadership that the Princess tribe is what it is today."

"King Yan, you are mistaken. The Ji tribe is not unique. Although humans are weak, their will is as solid as rock. We have been making progress in this chaotic world, inheriting the wisdom of our ancestors, exploring, learning, and then surpassing them. So even if the Ji tribe did not appear, other tribes or barbarian tribes would have emerged."

"Of course, human strength alone is far from enough to survive in this chaotic world. Such is the rule of the world: in times of chaos, gods are relied upon; in times of peace, humans are relied upon. Gods can protect the country, and humans can govern the country."

"Gods can protect a country, and people can govern it..."

Su Chen's words plunged Morax into a period of silence.

In fact, he also discovered some problems while in charge of Guiliji.

Humans have their own way of survival, and too much interference will only hinder development.

However, if no one intervenes, in this chaotic world, Guili Town will be targeted by many demons and gods, and will be destroyed sooner or later.

He naturally understood what Su Chen meant.

Without God, peace cannot be maintained in a chaotic world.

"In fact, as the war has progressed to this point, there are few threats on the land of Liyue. Apart from the Northern Chilong, there are no other threats. For the Geo Archon, the main threat still comes from the sea: Osel, the giant beast Baqiu, and Ourobas, which appeared not long ago. The chaos in the sea is far worse than here."

It's not that things are safe on land, but Morax is too strong and has already driven back most of the threats. Meanwhile, the sea is teeming with demons, and there is no absolute king, so things are naturally a bit chaotic.

Morax said, "The Chilong is indeed not a threat, but it has been entrenched in the northern part of Dihua Continent for a long time and has many allied forces. It will not be easy to wipe it out in a short time. Among the enemies in the sea, the Eight Dragons are good at fighting but do not know strategy. Orobas has not been here for long and his desire to compete is not strong. Only Oser is quite powerful and has many followers. It is a bit troublesome to occupy overseas."

"Somewhat tricky," but that's all it is... Su Chen could hear the absolute confidence in Morax's tone.

In the entire ancient Liyue region, there are only a handful of people who can catch the eye of this Geo King.

On the other side of the sea, the land is dominated by Guili Village, and the northern dragons do not pose a great threat. On the contrary, Morax is more concerned about Li City.

With the combined strength of three parties, Liyue will be divided.

However, Su Chen had no intention of vying for supremacy; all he wanted was to find a peaceful place for humanity.

Morax gradually came to understand this during their conversations.

[You talked with Morax for three days and three nights, during which time you went through pot after pot of wine, brewing wine and warming tea. You knew that you had come here not only for the plague, but also for the future of Li City.]

Morax sensed your sincerity and discussed the future of Liyue with you, feeling a sense of mutual respect between kindred spirits.

Afterwards, you formed an alliance with Morax, becoming allies.

The news sent shockwaves through Liyue. Of the remaining Demon Gods, some left with regret, knowing there was no longer any chance of dominating the region. Others, still unwilling to accept defeat, remained hidden, waiting for their opportunity.

Ignoring these matters, after leaving Guili Village, you entered the Minlin area to search for medicine that could cure the plague in Guili Village.

Plagues often originate from the power of demons and gods. These powers are embedded in the earth's ley lines, and like a cycle of mutual generation and restraint, there is a cure for every disease.

Two days later, you find yourself in a mountain range. The medicine needed to cure the plague is missing one ingredient, called "Qingxin" (清心). You find it on a cliff, only to see a small hand pluck it and put it in its mouth.

It was a little girl with blue hair.

Chubby and plump, very cute.

Her big, round eyes are bright and expressive.

Sitting on the ground, looking to the side, he was still chewing on the last bit of tranquility.

"Who are you?" the little girl asked.

Su Chen was taken aback, then smiled and said, "I am from the Xuanyuan clan, and you are?"

"Gan Yu."

"That's what the little girl said in her clear, crisp voice."

"Gan Yu...what a lovely name. But what are you doing here eating Qingxin? Is it delicious?"

"It doesn't taste good." Xiao Ganyu shook her head.

"Then you still eat?"

“Because…because…” Xiao Ganyu said with a wronged expression, “True Lord Liuyun said I’m too fat. If I don’t lose weight, I’ll get stuck in the Demon God’s throat again next time.”

"Uh..."

Su Chen was also a little confused.

So, Gan Yu, is it true that you choked the demon to death when you were a child?

"But I don't think it's entirely my fault!" Xiao Ganyu suddenly said indignantly.

"If it weren't for True Monarch Liuyun's magic affecting me, I wouldn't have fallen... Hmph."

Wow, so cute.

Su Chen couldn't help but laugh.

To everyone's surprise, the next moment, tears welled up in Xiao Ganyu's eyes.

"You...you're laughing at me too."

"I'm not laughing at you, I just think you're quite cute like this."

"Really?" Xiao Ganyu tilted her head.

"Of course it's true. My Xuanyuan clan never mocks others."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ganyu cheered and turned her tears into laughter.

Gan Yu has introduced you to the situation here. She is a descendant of the Qilin, and has long lived in the mountains. She follows a celestial being called "True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng" to cultivate, and the latter has made a contract with the Rock King Morax, whose name you have already heard of.
