Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

Araki Ichito pointed at the narrow gap that Rikuo had cleaved open and exclaimed, "Holy crap! Thank goodness that sword wasn't aimed in our direction, or I would be dead here today!"

While everyone was marveling at this earth-shattering battle, Ayaka's thoughts were always elsewhere.

"Brother..."

She and Thomas ran straight to the mansion where Suzuka Gozen had lived, searching everywhere for Ayato Kamisato.

Outside Inazuma Castle, the stragglers witnessed everything and secretly rejoiced that they hadn't been so brazen as to fight that guy.

It's a pity that I didn't get my hands on the Heart of God.

I can't stay in Inazuma any longer; I have to leave as soon as possible.

He was about to escape when his path was blocked by a woman with long pink hair.

"It's you, you stinking fox! What? You want to catch me? I advise you to obediently get out of my way! Otherwise, you might turn into a broken rock again."

Yae no Miko frowned slightly. "I'm increasingly regretting not getting rid of you back then. I really want to see what you, this puppet, have learned in the past five hundred years."

"Tch! Annoying thing!"

The stragglers, not wanting to get entangled with the fox, turned to flee, only to find their escape route blocked by Lady Rosalyn.

"What do you want to do?"

Noticing the woman's unusual behavior, the soldier knew she wasn't there to help.

"Heh~ As fellow Fatui officers, what were you doing when I was turned into a furnace by that bitch Suzuka Gozen? You weren't imprisoned by her, and she even kept you by her side like a treasure. Why? I was wondering why I was arrested as soon as I boarded Inazuma. I suspected there was a mole within the Fatui, but I never expected it to be you!"

Rosalind's anger flared up. "You should know what the consequences are for betraying the Fools!"

The divine child sneered, "Oh dear~ it seems someone's character isn't very good~ how come they make enemies wherever they go?"

With wolves in front and tigers behind, the scattered soldiers' plan to escape was completely doomed.

Lu Sheng opened his eyes, and what came into view was a pure white expanse.

In the very center of the boundless white space stands a giant divine cherry tree, surrounded by scattered pink cherry blossoms. Beneath the tree, two sisters sit together, leaning on each other.

Lu Sheng understood where he was.

Lei's film, a pure land.

The general wouldn't let him in, so he killed the general and came in himself. Or perhaps the general's death made Lei finally realize what was happening outside and pulled him in.

But why are there two shadows here?

Could it be that the other one is real?

Wasn't he really dead five hundred years ago?

Lu Sheng frowned slightly, not daring to approach for the time being.

A bold idea popped into his head, and he secretly used his points to buy an echoing insect.

If you're bold enough, Thor can take maternity leave.

Hey!

Since he was able to defeat General Thunder, it meant that his strength had reached the level of a demon god. This Echoing Insect Gu could turn anyone weaker than himself into a slave. Conversely, could he use the Echoing Insect Gu to test the true strength of his opponent?

If you can't defeat the ones affected by the echo bugs, then just use moisturizing.

Unfortunately, this thing can only be used once, so you must not waste it unless you encounter a strong enemy.

With ulterior motives in mind, Lu Sheng silently approached Ying, wondering whether to call her Ying or Balzebu.

Forget it, let's just call it Shadow.

He walked to the cherry tree, and of the two sisters leaning against each other, only one raised her head.

The two look almost identical, but upon closer inspection, one of them has a beauty mark near the corner of her eye; she is the real "thunder movie" type.

She was the one looking up.

As Ying looked up at Lu Sheng, the other Ying beside her, who did not have a beauty mark, transformed into countless cherry blossoms that drifted away.

That was indeed lightning, but it was merely a false image used to trap the shadow within the Pure Land of One Heart.

"film?"

The terrestrial insects were prompted to make sounds.

A bitter smile played on Ying's lips. "I never expected it would be you who came here in the end. I still lost."

Lu Sheng was baffled by these sudden words, but the Echo Bug did not react at all.

Sure enough, it still doesn’t work?

Lu Sheng felt a brief sense of disappointment, but he was not discouraged.

After all, Shadow was at least one of the top three among those who got up, so it would be strange if the Echo Bug reacted.

At least if the shadow doesn't work, it can still be used by the Grass God.

Once I reach Sumeru, my strength will definitely be greater than that of the newly born Grass God.

He quietly kept the echoing insect safe and began to ponder the true meaning of the phrase "the shadow rises".

"What do you mean you didn't expect this? What did you lose this time?"

Ying slowly stood up and said something that almost made Lu Sheng explode with anger.

"I am also one of the seven gods who survived from the old world. After the divine punishment came, General Raiden fought desperately and eventually perished, but I am still alive and have returned to the Inazuma of the past, which is now."

"Before you, the God of Noble Gold of Liyue had already come to me. He told me that he had chosen someone who might arrive in Inazuma in the future and wanted me to help him with the trial. Unfortunately, I also chose someone, as you know, Suzuka Gozen. The fact that she was able to smoothly become the Kanpaku in Inazuma and carry out sweeping reforms was all thanks to my secret support, but she herself didn't know it."

"So I made a bet with that Rock God, making you and Suzuka Gozen each other's trial subjects. In the end, whoever wins, we will support them to become the new Child of Prophecy."

“You are all beings from beyond the Teyvat destiny, with equally limitless potential, and even more outstanding than the previous loser. What you lack is a trial that puts you on the brink of death, just like forging a weapon, which requires a hundred refinements to become steel. Each trial allows you to grow.”

Ying frowned slightly and sighed, "Kong failed because he had too smooth a journey. When he encountered real trials, he always needed help from others to solve them. He was both impulsive and incompetent. If it weren't for the Eightfold Divine Heart that saved his life, there wouldn't have been so many troubles later. If I had known this, I should have personally killed him in front of the Tenshukaku. That would have saved me a lot of trouble."

“If it were him instead of you who appeared in Inazuma today, I would still do the same thing.”

Lu Sheng's lips twitched involuntarily.

Damn it, Zhongli! Are you treating me like a poisonous insect?

Who exactly is spreading rumors that Prince Yan is upright, incorruptible, and righteous? That old man has more tricks up his sleeve than a hornet's nest!

As transmigrators, Suzuka Gozen and I thought we were not under anyone's control, but in the end, we became part of the two gods' play.

Inazuma Chapter: Chapter 96: The Ultimate Insult

"Was it worth betting the entire Inazuma region?"

Inazuma has been reduced to this state, and it turns out that Kage actually knows everything, but she has always ignored it, which is hard for Rikuo, a human, to understand.

Does the demon god truly see humans as dispensable?

Ying didn't answer directly. Instead, she caught a falling cherry blossom, brought it close to her eyes, and whispered, "Look, if you look at cherry blossoms up close, you can see the colorfulness of life, the shape of the petals, the pollen they're covered in, the veins in their petals, and the fragrance of the flowers. Isn't it beautiful?"

Then she released her fingers, and cherry blossoms fell to the ground, mingling with the already abundant flower bushes.

"And now? It's just a pile of petals, which will wither and rot in a few days. The world you see is different depending on your altitude. Humans are like these beautiful cherry blossoms. They are wonderful, but fleeting. New cherry blossoms will bloom next year, life goes on and on. But if this cherry tree falls, there won't be a single cherry blossom in this world."

Such a beautiful metaphor changed Lu Sheng's opinion of Ying somewhat.

When did this shut-in become an artsy youth?

He certainly understood the meaning behind Shadow's words. Indeed, as a god who had witnessed destruction firsthand, no one had a better grasp of the bigger picture than Shadow.

The survival of humanity versus the survival of this world is of paramount importance; it is obvious which is more important.

"Actually, I expected Suzuka Gozen to lose, but I didn't expect her to lose so thoroughly. She initially performed quite well, but as time went on, all sorts of shortcomings began to appear. That's why I didn't tell her the truth and chose to continue observing her for a while. I didn't expect the Rock God to come looking for me. I also wanted to take this opportunity to test whether she was qualified to go to Sky Island. Obviously, she wasn't."

Lu Sheng asked, "Did you know she was a member of the Witch's Guild?"

“Oh?” Shadow seemed surprised. “I really didn’t know that. She has never shown any connection with the Witches’ Guild.”

Even Shadow didn't know this secret.

It seems that Suzuka Gozen takes this secret very seriously. Since she says she is Iris's apprentice, then Iris must have brought her to Teyvat.

That woman can indeed travel to other worlds, but it's a bit abstract that she inexplicably captured a fairy and brought her to Teyvat.

What's the point? Is it just because it's fun?

It's not impossible. After all, birds of a feather flock together, and it wouldn't be surprising if the Witch's Guild came up with something incredibly abstract.

What a pity! They were able to bring extraterrestrials to Teyvat but didn't know how to make good use of them. What a waste!

If I could master this technique, I could simply stake out the place where I traveled and catch them one by one.

First, ask them what their plans are after they travel to Teyvat.

If he wants to play the Seven Kingdoms War like Suzuka Gozen, he must be a sugar man; this kid must not be allowed to live!

If someone wants to overthrow the rule of Heaven, they will inevitably compete with me for power. This child must not be allowed to live!

If he intends to find a secluded paradise in Twat and live in seclusion, then it is even more dangerous. He knows how to be patient and bide his time, and is extremely shrewd. This boy must not be allowed to live!

If all he wants is to be intimate with his wives... Hmph! How can such a lecherous wretch be tolerated? This child must not be allowed to live!

In short, they must not be allowed to live!

If we could go a step further, we'd like to do a cross-country trip through northern Myanmar.

Spread the word to those Genshin Impact players that there's a way to get them transported to the Teyvat world to be with their wives. Then you don't need to worry about the rest. Just surround the Descent Point, place mannequins like Ayaka Kamisato, Raikou, Kurumi, and Frynn in the distance, put a mechanical pedal in the middle, and then just sit there and collect resources.

Considering the unique tastes of some people, let's add a skirmisher.

This way, forbidden knowledge can be produced continuously.

"Now that she's dead, none of that matters. If you're worried that the Witches' Guild will come after you, don't worry. The Rock God has already told me that no matter which witch wants to harm you, she'll have to get past me first. As long as you're still in Inazuma, this promise will remain."

Ying's words interrupted Lu Sheng's reverie.

"Thank you very much, but I'd like to ask, what are your plans for cleaning up Inazuma's mess?"

Even if the witches come looking for trouble again, Rikuo won't be afraid. But being protected by the shadows is pretty good too. The witches can't possibly be unaware of Balzebub's reputation. Among the seven gods, they're the only ones who dare to challenge the kind-hearted Wind God.

This question had really hit the nail on the head. After a moment of thought, her dull mind calmly replied, "I've spent enough time in the Pure Land of One Heart. I plan to govern the country myself, but I know nothing about it. So I'd like to ask you to become Inazuma's regent. People from beyond the heavens generally have very comprehensive knowledge. I think you are better than Suzuka Gozen at what she can do, and you should be able to do it even better."
