Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

While it may not necessarily be much better, a newly formed organization facing immense external pressure will always have more opportunities than the lifeless Inazuma Castle.

This is enough.

He now understood why Zhu Zi risked his life and death to leave Inazuma despite the thunderstorm.

I can endure darkness, but only if I have never seen the light.

Crossing into Inazuma is a terrible game with an extremely poor experience.

Chapter 3 I fuck Rayner Part 1

"Goro, how are the soldiers doing?"

Inside the Coral Palace, the supreme commander of all aspects of Haiji Island, the current human-god priestess Coral Palace Heart Sea, asked her former captain of the guard, now the general of the Haiji army, Goro.

"The situation is not optimistic. The shogunate army just came here again, trying to take away the Eye of God from our Haiji Island. They were very arrogant. A conflict broke out between the warriors and the shogunate army, and several people were injured. But fortunately, no one died."

Currently, the soldiers are deeply dissatisfied with the Shogunate army, and many radicals are loudly proclaiming their intention to wage war against them, a sentiment that has garnered considerable support. I've temporarily contained the situation. However, I sense that we'll soon be unable to maintain order.

Upon hearing this, Xin Hai fell silent.

If she could, she would not want war to break out.

After all, Haiji Island was ultimately powerless to stop General Raiden's unexpected strike. This was a war destined to fail, yet many citizens of Haiji Island would have to make meaningless sacrifices.

She couldn't imagine the scene where, faced with the rebellion of the people of Umijima, the descendants of these sinners, the Thunder General angrily cleaved a new Musou Blade Rift across Umijima.

But... many times, when the tide of history comes, it is not something that a mere priestess like her can control.

Supreme Commander?

If she dared to go against the tide, she would no longer be the same.

Compared to Haiqi Island being controlled by those radicals, at least she's still here... so there's always something she can do.

Thinking about this fills my heart with helplessness.

Even though she knew it was the wrong path, that was the will of the people of Haigi Island, and she had no other choice.

Perhaps the only thing she could do was to postpone that day as much as possible, so that when it came, she could use her identity as a "modern human-god priestess" and some historical connections to beg for forgiveness from that person.

"I understand, Goro. Go and try your best to calm the soldiers down and make preparations as soon as possible."

Goro's heart skipped a beat. He understood what the so-called preparations were, but he was powerless to change the current situation, so he could only answer, "Yes."

Goro turned to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Xin Hai called out to him.

"Let's go together. Perfect timing, I'll go take a look too."

On their way to the military camp, the two noticed a strangely dressed person looking down at the living quarters below.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed their brows were furrowed and their expressions thoughtful; they didn't even hear the two of them walking.

It was Jiang Ming.

Shinkai and Goro exchanged a glance, both feeling a bit strange.

"Hello?"

The sudden greeting interrupted Jiang Ming's thoughts. He turned around and saw ornamental fish and Miss Hina.

"Ah, hello, Ms. Kokoro, Mr. Goro."

What are you thinking about here? Can we talk about it?

"Of course, no problem. I was just observing the situation on Haizhi Island and discovered some issues. I'm thinking about how to solve these problems and what Haizhi Island should do next."

Faced with Xin Hai's request, Jiang Ming readily agreed. He had originally come to seek refuge on Haiqi Island, and now that he had a chance to prove himself, he naturally had to seize it.

Xin Hai was clearly very interested in this kind of topic that was giving her a headache.

"First of all, there's the fundamental issue of food on Haizhi Island. I heard back in Inazuma Castle that Haizhi Island is almost entirely saline-alkali land, and it heavily relies on food imports. When I just arrived, I also heard people there discussing the survival of wheat and radishes, so that should be true, right?"

"That's true. We are also trying to find ways to solve the food problem. So, what are your thoughts?"

"I think we should just ask Kujo Takayuki for Umijima."

Xin Hai: ?

Goro:?

what?

We are about to go to war with the shogunate army under the command of the Tenryō magistrate, and you want us to go to the Tenryō magistrate's leader, Kujō Takayuki, to ask for food.

"Of course, how to ask for it is a question worth exploring."

Seeing the puzzled expressions on their faces, Jiang Ming slowly spoke.

"Why do you think the shogunate is so determined to go to war with Umijima?"

"Because of the General's decree?" Goro asked.

"No, not at all. In fact, the Shogun doesn't care. The reason why any person, organization, or group makes this choice or that choice is simply because that choice can bring this or that benefit, and the benefits outweigh the investment, or at least they think they 'gained' it. And the current Shogunate is almost entirely dominated by the Kujo family."

Xin Hai and Wu Lang fell into thought after hearing this. After a brief moment of thought, Xin Hai immediately realized what was going on.

"I understand."

Xin Hai let go of the arms that were embracing each other.

“If Umijima and the Shogunate go to war, the Shogunate and the Sangokyu will suffer losses, while the Kujo family will benefit. As the de facto rulers of the Shogunate, the Kujo family will instigate the war and secretly prolong it so that they can profit from it. Therefore, the Kujo family will secretly help us. Hmm… this one…”

"My name is Jiang Ming."

"Mr. Jiang Ming, is this what you mean?"

"Mostly correct. Kujo Takayuki wants a balance. Only when the Kaigi army is roughly equal to the shogunate army, but the shogunate army has a certain advantage, can the Kujo family's interests be maximized. Kujo Takayuki will do his best to create such a situation. Therefore, he will not sit idly by and watch Kaigi Island collapse because of such a 'trivial' matter as food shortages. So, I suggest that Kaigi Island ask Kujo Takayuki for food. Of course, if they can also earn some Mora in the process, things will be even more convenient. Similarly, regarding the problems they face in terms of weapons and intelligence, I think that at least until the Kaigi army is able to defeat the shogunate army, there will be someone to help them."

Jiang Ming paused at this point.

"Moreover, it's not just that old man Kujo Takayuki who will help us. The Kujo family provided the most support in the early stages, which can help us get through the most difficult period. And afterwards, others will also lend a hand. This kind of support that can be carried out from beginning to end is a force we must try our best to win over."

The way the names were referred to in the description was subtly changed.

You should be able to understand what Xin Hai is saying, right?

Shinkai, who was pondering how to reasonably request provisions from the shogunate, did notice this small change, but decided to postpone dealing with it.

Does Jiang Ming's statement imply that there are other experts?

Please elaborate.

"Inazuma's current state is one of utter misery. Anyone with even a sliver of conscience wouldn't want to see this. How can Inazuma be governed while surrounded by these scoundrels? This is also true for the Kamisato family, the magistrates of the yamen, or more precisely, for the Kamisato siblings. They are dissatisfied with the other two magistrates' mad actions, but lack sufficient power. Investing in us is a good option for the Kamisato family. The Kamisato family possesses a hidden force called 'Final Chapter,' which can provide us with significant support."

"As for Narukami Taisha, it shouldn't be involved in these matters. However, Yaegami Tsukasa, the head of Narukami Taisha, as a follower of the Thunder God Balzeb and a friend of hundreds of years, firstly, doesn't want to see the current state of misery in Inazuma, and secondly, from a friend's perspective, she might prefer that we just storm into the castle tower to wake up her dear friend, the Thunder God."

This passage contains so much information that even my mental processing unit struggles to keep up.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Jiang Ming. Let's go through them one by one."

"First of all, Lei Yingdian, is that the general's name?"

For a long time, the people of Inazuma only knew to address him as "General," followed by titles such as "God of Thunder" or "Thunder God." Foreigners in Inazuma called him "Barzebu" or "General Thunder." The General Thunder's true name, however, has never been known. Even Shinkai didn't know the General Thunder's real name.

How did the person in front of you know that?

"Yes. However, to be precise, General Thunder is just a movie, and that's only a period in history. Before that, or even now, General Thunder wasn't a movie."

"Hmm? Could it be that General Thunder isn't the real General?"

Xin Hai's CPU has been overheated and is a bit confused after being tangled up.

"The Thunder General currently guarding the pavilion is merely a puppet created by the real Thunder General—Thunder Movie. Thunder Movie is currently in his self-created Pure Land of One Heart... um... uh..."

Jiang Ming suddenly got stuck.

Ugh, what is he supposed to say? Dreaming of light novels and colorful dumplings in a pure land of pure joy? ???

No, no, those are just fan creations by silly netizens. What were they doing again?

Oh, right, right, right, "Meditation. Yes, meditation. Meditating on eternity. Cough, anyway, it is precisely because of this puppet that the Kujo family and the Tong family have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. After all, although Rai is not good at politics, she is not stupid."

Chapter 4 I fuck Rayner Part 2

Xin Hai remained silent for a while, sorting out the information he had gathered.

First, by taking advantage of the special relationship between the shogunate and the Kujo family, they could ask Kujo Takayuki to solve problems such as food.

Secondly, Mr. Jiang Ming meant that the internal conflicts and struggles within the shogunate could be used to garner as much support as possible for Haigishima.

The current internal situation in Inazuma is that the Tenryo Magistrate and the Kansei Magistrate have joined forces and hold an absolute advantage, stirring up trouble. The Shabu Magistrate and Narukami Taisha, as conservatives, oppose the actions of these two magistrates, but neither of them has real power and their strength is limited. Therefore, they will choose to secretly unite with Umijima.

Of course, the castle tower didn't care.

In the early stages, the entire Inazuma force will help Umijima rapidly grow stronger to oppose Inazuma. In the mid-stages, once Umijima has sufficient power to contend with the shogunate army, the assistance from the Tenryō magistrate and the Kanjō magistrate will shift to a balance of suppression and support. Military suppression will continue, but material aid will remain to maintain equilibrium. Meanwhile, the Shrine magistrate and Narukami Taisha will continue to stand with Umijima.

Later on, this relationship will change again. The Shinto siblings, who are in charge of the shrine, only want to stop the two magistrates from acting recklessly, while the Yae-gyu priest of Narukami Shrine... hopes that Umijima will storm the castle tower and wake up the shogun?

Then, something even more mysterious about the General came to light. How did Mr. Jiang Ming know so much?

Xin Hai didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.

However, she roughly understood that the core point was to unite all forces that could be united at the right time, even enemies.

War is a continuation of politics.

For some reason, this sentence popped into Xin Hai's mind.

"I roughly understand what you mean."

“Mr. Jiang Ming, the General’s affairs are somewhat distant from ours. Let’s discuss them in detail later.”
