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

"Don't worry," Huai'an said with certainty. "The Xuanyuan Sword is a divine weapon. No one but the Human Emperor can pull it out. Throughout history, many people have coveted the Xuanyuan Sword. Look, there's one on Dihua Island. Every day, so-called martial arts masters pass by and try to pull it out, but what's the result? I've never heard of such a thing."

Paimon exclaimed, "That's amazing! But since they're here to draw their swords, they might as well patronize your business while they're passing by, hehe~"

"That's true, but lately... sigh~ things haven't been peaceful." Huai'an sighed.

"what happened?"

"It's strange. Recently, demons have been causing trouble in the Dihuazhou area. There are even rumors that some people have seen evil spirits at night. As a result, fewer people have come here recently. If it weren't for the upcoming ritual of inviting immortals, I'm afraid no one would dare to come at all."

"Monsters? Demons? Then let's get someone to investigate."

"We searched, but it was no use. Some people went there and were chased away by monsters, while others were scared away. In short, this matter is very mysterious."

Huai'an sighed again. He had gone to Liyue Harbor twice to ask for help for this matter, but unfortunately, there were no results.

We couldn't trouble that important person with such a small matter, so he had to find a solution himself.

"To be honest, I've already offered a reward of 100,000 Mora to resolve this matter. Sigh~ I hope it ends soon."

Paimon's eyes lit up: "Why don't we take care of this?"

"You?" Huai'an sized up the two men, his expression full of suspicion. "What can you do?"

Paimon, hands on hips and chest puffed out, said smugly, "Heh heh~ We just solved the dragon scourge problem for Mondstadt, and the Traveler is now an honorary knight of Mondstadt!"

Huai'an was greatly surprised: "So you were the ones who solved the dragon disaster? My apologies."

You can't judge a book by its cover. This little girl is actually able to fight a demonic dragon?

And this little thing, could it have some magical effects?

Ying puffed out her chest: "Leave it to me, you can leave anything to me."

If Mora gives you enough, you'll get all the Seven Gods!

...

When Ying and Paimon returned to the dining table, they immediately started talking about the commissioned task.

Since there's still some time before the summoning ceremony, they're not in a hurry to go to Liyue Harbor. If the delegation can't wait, they can separate here.

Su Chen was already used to this kind of running around to accept quests. What monsters or evil spirits? In the end, it's all about killing monsters and getting Mora.

"Let's go to Guili Market first. Come find us there when you're done with your work."

Su Chen said.

After so many years, he really wanted to see how Guiliji was doing.

The Guiliji was not destroyed after its reconstruction, which is the biggest change compared to the game.

In modern Liyue, the coastal ports are naturally the most prosperous, but when it comes to studying Liyue's history, Guili Village is more valuable.

If Liyue Harbor is a repository of wealth, then Guili Village is a repository of history.

"Speaking of which, isn't that guy here?"

Su Chen muttered to himself.

"Who? Who are you talking about?"

Paimon was very curious, but Su Chen just wouldn't tell her.

After lunch, the delegation continued their journey.

The environment in Liyue today is much better than it was during the Demon God War.

There were no sudden natural disasters, no demonic remnants everywhere. Along the way, Su Chen found himself feeling a surge of 'happiness'.

I am happy for the peace and beauty of Liyue.

"It seems that this simulation has had a far greater impact on me than I expected."

As the Human Emperor, I am naturally happy to see Liyue getting better.

This emotion comes from the heart and is difficult to control.

"My lord, we have arrived at Guili Market."

"That's what the members of the delegation said."

The carriage traveled along the flat road, accompanied by many people. When it reached the entrance of Guiliji, the area became bustling with activity, with people heading into the city from all directions.

The Guili Market before us, after thousands of years of development, is several times larger than it was originally.

As the carriage arrived at the entrance, a purple-haired cat-headed girl led the Thousand Rock Army towards them.

He didn't look very old, but he walked with a decisive and efficient air, and his gaze was pure and unwavering. He was a capable person... The Emperor thought to himself.

"Greetings, I am Yuheng from the Liyue Seven Stars. I came to greet the Mondstadt delegation upon hearing of their visit... May I ask which one of you is Lord Su Chen?"

After introducing herself, the girl asked a question.

"Hello, I am Su Chen." Su Chen extended his hand and smiled, "Lord Yuheng Star, it's an honor to meet you."

"Just call me Ke Qing."

Keqing, the star of the Seven Stars, is a household name in Liyue.

Normally, welcoming the delegation wouldn't be her responsibility, but since there were some groundbreaking stunts for the Human Emperor's Festival in Guili Town, which involved the Human Emperor, Keqing came to take a look herself.

Just then, Su Chen arrived with the Mondstadt delegation, and naturally, they couldn't avoid the Seven Stars' eyes along the way.

Speaking of which, Keqing is quite curious about the envoy from Mondstadt this time, because Su Chen is from Liyue, yet he has become the Inspector General in Mondstadt, which is quite astonishing.

If they secretly make some connections, and the Inspector General raises his banner, they can give Mondstadt a big surprise three days later, and Mondstadt will belong to Liyue.

...Well, that's obviously impossible.

"Everyone, let me show you around first. After everything is settled, I will go to Liyue Harbor with you."

"Good work."

Su Chen smiled as he looked at Ke Qing. He didn't look like a gamer looking at his wife; instead, he felt a sense of pride and satisfaction looking at a junior.

It's really impressive that the Liyue Seven Stars have someone as capable as Keqing.

"Ok?"

Ke Qing, walking beside Su Chen, seemed to sense something. She keenly noticed that Su Chen's gaze was a little strange, but out of politeness, she did not turn around to glare at Su Chen. Instead, she walked towards Guili Market and introduced the famous places in Guili Market to Su Chen and the others.

"...You've probably heard about the origins of Guili Village. Back then, the Human Emperor led his people to settle here. However, due to the chaos caused by the war between the demon gods, this area became uninhabitable, so the Human Emperor led his people to migrate to Liyue Harbor. Later, the Human Emperor and the Emperor joined forces to quell the war in Liyue, and then led some people back to Guili Village. Therefore, Guili Village is actually the original birthplace of Liyue."

"Even before the war between the demon gods ended, the human emperor unified the human race and established a country and a career by his own strength. Such a feat has never been achieved by even the most powerful demon gods throughout history."

Keqing introduced Guiliji to the delegation with a proud tone.

The envoys nodded in agreement, as guests naturally had to follow the host's lead.

"Such achievements truly make him worthy of the title of Emperor."

"I have long heard of the Emperor of Liyue and have admired him for a long time. Now I finally have the opportunity to come to Liyue to see him."

"Yes, yes, Liyue is a vast and resource-rich place, definitely worth exploring more of."

Just saying.

Su Chen suddenly said, "That's not right. I remember that the Human Emperor did not come to Guiliji to build the city. This is where the Rock King Emperor led his people to their origin. The Human Emperor's strength should have been very weak at that time, and he could not compete for territory, so he led his people to the Yaoguang Beach area."

Ke Qing paused, frowning as she said, "The Yao Guang Beach area is bordered by Mingyun Town to the north and the Snow Mountain to the northeast. That region was covered by a cold wave back then. How could the Human Emperor possibly lead people to settle there? Besides, the Human Emperor is weak? Hmph! He is someone who can slay demon gods!"

That's because the cold wave didn't come back then.

Who exactly fabricated this history? Isn't it just pure fabrication?

Su Chen shrugged: "I'm not saying the Human Emperor was weak, just that he was a bit weaker back then. Guili Town is obviously the center of the struggle, and he couldn't hold his ground."

"You haven't seen it with your own eyes, how do you know I'm wrong?"

Ke Qing's tone was somewhat dissatisfied. "Do you understand the Human Emperor better than I do?"

She clearly has a stronger belief in the historical truth she has known since childhood.

Su Chen wanted to say something more, but the members of the envoy group quickly pulled him back.

"Lord Su Chen, don't argue with her about these things. She's one of the Seven Stars."

"So what if she's one of the Seven Stars? My status as the Chief Inspector of the Knights isn't much lower than hers, is it?"

"What I mean is, Seven Stars definitely knows more about Liyue's history. Even though you're from Liyue, the history books you've been exposed to since childhood certainly aren't that authoritative, right?"

I'm talking to you, you big-headed son.

Su Chen was speechless, but as an emissary of Mondstadt, he knew their concerns, so he chose to remain silent.

"Are you all done talking?" Keqing crossed her arms, and the group of grown men huddled together whispering... Oh well, my job is just to take them to Liyue Harbor anyway.

Ke Qing originally wanted to tell Su Chen and the others more about the Human Emperor's great achievements, but she felt that these outsiders probably wouldn't understand the greatness of the Human Emperor. He was the greatest among men, surpassing all others; that was the brilliance that humanity should shine.

Keqing always regretted why she wasn't born in the same era as the Human Emperor.

Continuing onward, Keqing remained much quieter until they reached the huge square in the center of Guiliji and stood before the statues inside.

“This is the statue of the Human Emperor,” Keqing said calmly. “In the thousands of years of Liyue’s history, only the statues of the Emperor and the Human Emperor have been established as landmarks throughout the entire land of Liyue. Moreover, there are statues of the Human Emperor all over Liyue for people to worship.”

"This is the statue of the Human Emperor. It's about the same size as the statue of Lord Barbatos."

The messengers all looked up to examine them.

"Huh?" one of the messengers suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Why do I feel like... this statue looks a bit like Lord Su Chen?"

Upon hearing this, the other envoys began to make comparisons.

"Yes, they do look quite similar."

"Look at the nose and eyes, they have them."

"Whatever the nose and eyes, the most similar thing is the spirit."

Su Chen: "..."

"How could that be!" Ke Qing scoffed. Trying to pin this on the Emperor? She shook her head. "The Emperor's heroic bearing is unparalleled. How could Lord Su Chen possibly look...so much like the Emperor?!"

Ke Qing's gaze fell on Su Chen's face.

She's not someone who judges by looks; as long as someone is capable, that's enough. Being good-looking can't put food on the table, so she only gave a polite greeting when she greeted her earlier.

Upon closer inspection, Ke Qing glanced at Su Chen and then looked up at the statue of the Human Emperor.
