Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

Lu Sheng hadn't expected things to develop this way.

How could he possibly become Inazuma's regent? It's a thankless task with absolutely no benefit; only a fool would do it.

Having obtained the Heart of God, Inazuma was no longer of any value to him.

He has nothing to do with the future of this country or how its people live.

I still have to go to Mount Sumeru to burn the World Tree and steal the Heart of God, and dig up the Red King's tomb to obtain forbidden knowledge.

"I reject."

Lu Sheng's answer was straightforward and left no room for doubt.

A hint of confusion flashed in Ying's eyes.

It's surprising that she refused. In her mind, humans have an obsessive fascination with power and money. The position of Kanpaku, second only to the emperor, is an honor that many people would dream of for lifetimes. No one should refuse it.

Could this be why the Geo Archon valued him? He's definitely different from others.

"Since you are unwilling, I will not force you. But if I have any doubts, could you please answer them for me? After all, listening to others' opinions is also part of correcting mistakes."

It's unbelievable that Lei Yingdian would listen to other people's opinions. It seems that she has changed a lot in this second life.

"That's no problem, but I only participate in the discussion, and my opinions are for reference only. I have nothing to do with the actions taken."

Rikuo agreed to Ying's request. Thinking about it, he felt a little ashamed that he had caused Inazuma to end up like this, and it wouldn't hurt to offer some suggestions.

Shadow nodded, and immediately the scenery within the Pure Land of One Heart underwent a dramatic transformation, changing from a world of blooming cherry blossoms into a battlefield where thunder and fire intertwined.

"Thank you, but now, please draw your sword."

A powerful and terrifying aura emanated from the shadow as it slowly pulled the sword out of the huge chasm in its chest.

The sudden change in attitude confused Lu Sheng.

So what if he refused to become the Kanpaku? Did he have to turn against him?

He flashed to the shadow's side, reached out and pressed down on the shadow's hand that was drawing its sword, then sheathed the sword.

"What's going on? We can talk things out, don't fight."

Shadow glanced down at the hand the other person had placed on his chest, but wasn't angry. Instead, he explained, "You've completed the trial Suzuka Gozen gave you, but my trial has only just begun. From this moment on, you must come to the Pure Land of One Heart every day to spar with me. I will share with you my combat experience accumulated over thousands of years as a Shadow Warrior. Before you complete my trial, you must stay in Inazuma. Similarly, I will ask you some questions. We will be each other's teachers. I will not hold back in battle, and you don't need to hold back when I ask you questions. Point out my shortcomings, and feel free to scold me."

Upon hearing this, Rikuo smiled knowingly, immediately withdrew his still-warm hand, and silently drew his Onikiri.

"So that's how it is. You should have said so earlier. It was quite frightening to suddenly draw your sword."

He finally felt relieved and accepted the trial arranged by Ying.

He knew Ying's abilities; although this woman wasn't very bright, she was incredibly fierce when it came to fighting.

These twin sisters, one skilled in literature and the other in martial arts, would not be in their current state if both of them were alive.

"What you just used on the general was the 'No-Thought Strike,' wasn't it?" Ying said with some satisfaction. "I'm surprised that someone could actually comprehend the secret of that strike. However, its purity is still a little low. The true 'No-Thought Strike' is a strike that comes from instinct, a strike that abandons all distracting thoughts. One must empty their mind to the level of a baby in its mother's womb to achieve true 'No-Thought'!"

"Watch closely this strike! This trial will only be truly over when you can unleash the same strike again!"

In front of Lu Sheng, Lei Yingdian used the True Wuxiang Yidao in the Pure Land of One Heart.

It wasn't until he saw the original with his own eyes that Lu Sheng truly understood why it's said that original works are an insurmountable mountain for derivative works.

But he wasn't disappointed at all; on the contrary, he was very happy.

Receiving the Shadow's inheritance will greatly enhance one's strength.

Having great power but not knowing how to use it is like having treasure but nowhere to spend it.

He has been benefiting from the Tengu Scroll and the artificial version of Musou Ittō, which he inherited from the Puppet Sword Demon, and has been using them ever since.

If one could master the ultimate version of the "Unthinking One Slash," coupled with various buffs and the Thunder God's Dharma Form, the power of this slash would be terrifying beyond imagination.

In the Pure Land, a great battle has begun.

As the thunderstorm subsided and the fire gradually died down, the sacred land finally returned to tranquility.

When he left the Pure Land, Lu Sheng felt weak all over, as if his body had been hollowed out, and every bone in his body seemed to have been separated from his muscles.

He wanted to savor this taste every day from then on.

It was truly tiring, but also truly exhilarating.

He could clearly sense that his combat skills were constantly improving, which was completely different from the feeling of directly gaining power.

Skill and strength are both key factors in measuring ability, and neither can be lacking.

"Yo~ The Immortal Venerable has finally come out. I thought you were going to die inside."

Upon seeing Lu Sheng emerge from the Pure Land of One Heart, the Divine Child revealed a hint of joy and casually tossed the half-dead stragglers in front of him.

"Here you go, I've caught the stragglers you wanted. How about it? Shouldn't you reward me with something?"

Lu Sheng glanced at the stragglers and saw that their limbs were missing and their bodies were charred black, and he already guessed what had happened.

"Did you catch them all by yourself and you're already taking credit? What about Rosalyn?"

The goddess scoffed dismissively, "Hmph! You really do care about that woman. She's long gone. After all, Inazuma doesn't welcome the Fools. But she asked me to tell you that if you're still alive, remember to go back and find her."

"okay, I get it."

"By the way, what did you and Kage talk about? Why did it take so long? Was she really trapped by Suzuka Gozen's illusion?"

The goddess hurriedly inquired about the shadow's whereabouts, as this was what she cared about most.

Lu Sheng shook his head. "You can go in and ask her yourself. She's a normal person now."

Upon hearing this, the Divine Child finally felt relieved and couldn't wait to see the Shadow. "What about the stragglers?"

"Don't worry about it, leave it to me."

The divine child nodded and swiftly entered the Pure Land of One Heart.

"Hey~ Isn't this the sixth seat of the Fatui, Lord Sanbing? What's gotten into you?"

Lu Sheng squatted down and looked at the stragglers with utter contempt in his eyes, as if they were nothing more than a pile of dog shit.

At Rikuo's request, the Divine Child stopped Rosalyn from killing the stragglers, sparing his life.

At this moment, the once invincible stragglers have been completely reduced to a broken puppet. The only thing that remains unchanged is that Sima's face is still staring at Lu Sheng with a hateful gaze.

"Yes, that's the look in your eyes. I really like it, and I hope you can keep it up in the future."

Lu Sheng had already arranged the fate of the scattered soldiers; otherwise, he wouldn't have insisted that the Divine Child capture him.

Absolutely the ultimate enjoyment! The ultimate insult to one's teeth!

For this plan, he did not hesitate to use forbidden points to purchase "Spirit Binding and Commanding Generals," one of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques.

The effect of this skill is to bind a soul and convert that part of the soul into one's own power, devouring it to enhance one's own soul power. It can be summoned as a guardian spirit, allowing the soul to exert the knowledge and abilities it possessed in its previous life. Therefore, the words "sent generals" were added after "bind spirit".

Originally, this was prepared specifically for skirmishers, and Lu Sheng was willing to waste it. However, after he learned it, he discovered that there was an unexpected surprise.

That is, the karmic obstacles absorbed from the demons can be controlled by spirit summoning and commanding, including the evil spirits absorbed in the furnace of the sand.

These things are essentially the lingering resentment of the demon gods, mixed within the body, transforming into extremely evil forces. Lu Sheng himself was unaware of this until he learned how to control spirits and command generals, at which point he discovered this hidden danger.

Fortunately, these things are now under the control of the Spirit Binding and Commanding Generals and have been firmly suppressed.

Lu Sheng almost instantly realized that the Golden Creation Technique could be linked with the Spirit Binding and Commanding Technique.

Golden creations have no soul; an external soul must be introduced into the creation to truly bring it to life.

The art of summoning spirits and commanding generals is perfectly suited for this task.

Lu Sheng couldn't wait any longer.

Without hesitation, he killed the stragglers, captured their souls, and gathered the puppets' corpses to use as the foundation for his creations.

Upon entering the Dust Song Pot, he disregarded Paimon's strong objections and released the alien containing the skirmisher's head, modifying it slightly to transform it into a Hilichurl with the skirmisher's head on its head.

Simply place the noble and kind soul of the stragglers into the body of the Hilichurls... and you're all set!

......

The stragglers were stationed on an island that no one could find.

The soldier, whose body was bound by iron chains, slowly opened his eyes, trying to speak, but blurted out: "ya!"

The sudden shout caught the attention of the four powerful figures.

These are the four Hilichurl Kings: Rock, Frost, Thunder, and Fire.

The four kings turned around at the same time, staring at the newly awakened Sanqiuqiu. They seemed to have been fed some kind of strange drug, and an ambiguous atmosphere began to spread across the island.

A burst of powerful music started playing; it seemed to be a very old song.

No! Don't come any closer! Don't come near me!!!

A desperate cry rang out from the hearts of the stragglers.

A thick, cylindrical shadow slowly covered Sanqiuqiu's terrified face.

What...what is this?! No! No! It's so big! It'll break! It'll break!!!

ah! ! ! ! ! ! !

Inazuma Chapter: Chapter 97: Now That Things Have Gone, Let's Have Hot Pot First

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

With the thunder and lightning no longer causing trouble, the weather in Inazuma began to become sunny and pleasant.

Lu Sheng lived a monotonous life, going between two points every day. As soon as he opened his eyes during the day, he would go to fight Lei Yingdian and fight until he was completely exhausted at night before going back to rest.

Day after day, his combat skills improved, and he was able to withstand Lei Yingdian's attacks with his physical strength alone, without relying on demonic transformation or avatar.

And in the battle, he gradually began to grasp the essence of the true "No Thought One Slash," and a feeling began to sprout in his heart.

After each day's battle, Lei would quietly sit down and ask Lu Sheng some questions.

Having gone through so much, she has come to terms with it and wants to be like Zhen, a god who loves people.

The concept of "eternity" is such an ethereal and elusive thing that it is simply impossible to achieve.

Compared to the unchanging eternity, fleeting romance is more suitable for the human species, and I suppose that's what people really think.

Following Lu Sheng's advice, Ying decided to allow the people to recuperate, reduce taxes, strengthen trade with foreign countries, import more food, and solve the basic problem of food and clothing for the people.
