Genshin Impact: I, the Winter's Executor, am forced to work.

A gentle breeze ruffled Qin's hair. She looked up at the sky; the dark island, which had initially plunged the people of Mondstadt into terror and madness, was now moved by the bard's music.

Perhaps... the Wind God will always be by our side.

Qin Ye, I don't know why, but I always feel that the person who would fight for us is you.

Barbatos's singing grew increasingly powerful, clearly reaching its climax.

Qin Ye... Was it you who suggested that the old man come to Mondstadt to lecture me? You better not die, or I won't have another chance to beat you up when I'm drunk.

...

Ritsuki

"As mentioned in the last chapter, Guili Plain was submerged by a raging flood. The Rock King Emperor suppressed the sea tides, established the Heavenly Balance, and together with his old friend, the Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies True Lord, kept hundreds of thousands of demons and gods outside the country's borders..."

A fascinating new book is being vividly narrated by Tian Tiezui.

Mr. Yun personally took to the stage and presented a new play he wrote himself.

The performance was booked by the Liyue Seven Stars at a huge cost and staged at the Jade Palace.

Gan Yu leaned against the high railing, looking at the man sitting in the corner calmly drinking tea... no, he hadn't put down his teacup for more than ten minutes.

"Lord Qin Ye, you can't leave the Emperor all alone..."

Zhongli's mind was filled with memories.

"Hehe, people tend to reminisce about the past when they get old. I wonder if my actions have been of any help to you, Brother Qin."

Hopefully, his trip to Fontainebleau wasn't in vain.

...

Inawa

"Ying, you seem to be in pretty good spirits lately. Did something happy happen to you?"

Yae no Miko held the three-colored dumpling, but saw that Ying was completely unmoved, and her tone was somewhat resentful.

"Meeting an old friend... no, I can't really call him an old friend. At a past gathering, I was only at the bottom of the list of gods, while he sat at the head of the table. I might not even be considered a friend in his eyes."

"Really? But your expression doesn't say that."

Shadow stared coldly at his retinue, then turned away, saying, "That's because of something else... I want to ask my former master..."

She shook her head and changed the subject: "Have the people already gathered outside the city?"

“Of course~” Yae no Miko smiled: “When the General announces important matters, who would dare to disobey?”

"As I said, not everyone needs to be present. I will make an exception for those who have important business to attend to."

She changed into a set of heroic armor and silently walked out of the castle tower.

...

Sumeru

A unique conference is underway at the Academy.

The Little Auspicious Grass King personally projected the battle from his previous dream onto the giant tree in the Order Academy, and publicly supported Qin Ye in his own name.

"That's all I can do, Qin Ye. Remember our promise. There are still many beautiful sights we haven't seen together."

At the very least, we can do our part to extend our time and memories infinitely into a bright future.

...

至冬

"Under the noble Ice Queen, we see a bright future for our motherland, and our struggle affects the fate of our people."

"The fools guide the way forward, and our glory and the will of the people lead us from victory to victory."

Before the Queen's palace, the soldiers of the Fools stood in perfect unison, their iron-blooded songs resounding through the sky, seemingly reaching even Sky Island.

"Qin..."

Columbia and Tatiana gazed at the dark island, a fleeting look of tension crossing their faces.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The Fool: Dionysus.

My Qin.

My Qin Ye brother.

It never disappoints.

...

Skye Island

Several beams of light rose from behind Qin Ye, piercing the darkness and even dyeing his black eyes a sacred pale gold.

A halo of light rotated behind him, its diamond-shaped edges piercing like sunlight, as if the sun were descending.

"So, now this really is the last time."

Chapter 304 Happiness

"This method..." The abyssal behemoth shrank back, and the black mist clearly subsided where the golden light touched.

If Qin Ye's power originally only restrained him to a certain extent, then this current power is as if the world is rejecting him.

This is the power belonging to this continent, and the will accumulated by humankind over thousands of years of development, passed down from generation to generation, which is why it can now converge in Qin Ye's body.

As someone who came into this world at the very beginning of human history, Qin Ye also left behind his own unique mark.

The light bathed the entire sky, as if representing the glorious rise of humankind.

"You have reached the final step of this supreme realm, and you can even leave this world for a grander stage. Why would you become my enemy for something so weak?"

The whispers of the abyss echoed in Qin Ye's mind, but now they no longer carried any sense of terror.

"Without their support, where would I be today? Of course, you probably can't understand that."

"Now that you possess my power, you will undoubtedly grow limitlessly in the future, even if it means I become your assistant..."

Qin Ye completely ignored the persuasive tone and gently shook his head.

The Will of the Abyss felt that its entire body was locked by the opponent's power, and it could not escape.

"Now that you have become the ruler, why do you still..."

Qin Ye ruthlessly interrupted her.

"The principles of Heaven are not the rulers of mankind; they are merely the representatives of the will elected by millions of people."

Qin Ye understood this principle well. Whether he was the Fool of Winter, the Eight Desolations of Liyue, or the Heavenly Principles that he would temporarily assume in the future, when those in power and the people were on opposite sides, they would inevitably suffer unimaginable backlash.

The Jade Shield completely surrounded the Sky Island. Enhanced by the power of the human realm, the shield had no blind spots, and the Abyss's combined entity was now trapped like a turtle in a jar.

"My power is inexhaustible. As long as there is still an opportunity in this world, I will make a comeback sooner or later."

"Just a last, pointless struggle."

Qin Ye wouldn't say something as pointless as "I'll defeat my opponent every time we meet." Perhaps one day in the future, he won't even need to lift a finger, and humanity will be able to utilize and control the power that is currently uncontrollable.

All he had to do was stop those who overestimated themselves from opening Pandora's box out of their own selfish desires.

Humans may be greedy and hypocritical, but heroes will eventually emerge.

Even if he is more cunning and treacherous than anyone else, or carries a reputation that is difficult for others to understand, he will eventually prove everything with his actions.

"When we meet again... no, there's no need for us to meet."

The sharp tip of the lightsaber fell from above the head of the Abyss Aggregate. Compared to this sword, the original black behemoth seemed insignificant.

The lightsaber pierced the top of the behemoth's head, the black mist dissipated, the power of the abyss was annihilated, and the tip of the sword pierced into the sky island, turning the entire island into dust.

The blade and fragments of the island dissipated in the wind, drifting to every corner of the continent.

Qin Ye let out a long breath; the grudges that had lasted for thousands of years had finally come to an end.

"This period of time has been a bit too long, even for me."

He snapped his fingers, and the power of the earth's veins surged forth. Whether they were possessors of the Eye of God or ordinary people, they all felt this strange flow of power.

Almost simultaneously, all seven gods received Qin Ye's message, hoping they could continue to act as agents of the seven kingdoms, watching over the development of humanity.

Aside from the Water God, Qin Ye might come to talk to him about life and ideals later.

The wear and tear setting has also been completely removed by Qin Ye. The side effects caused by wear and tear will gradually dissipate with the passage of time, and many things will likely take a turn for the better as a result.

Just as everyone was striding forward with the spirit of welcoming a new era, Qin Ye, the greatest contributor, disappeared without a trace.

-

one year later.

The boy in the red scarf is having tea with his master in the villa.

"I heard that because of this property, you owe that [supporting character] Mora countless debts?"

After being destroyed in the Abyss, Skykirk spent a year traveling to various countries, searching for the answers that had been buried in various corners of the world.

For some reason, things that were deliberately concealed in the past are gradually surfacing now. Perhaps the current administration is being more magnanimous.

"Yes... but she said I've already turned twenty, and if I don't hurry up and find a wife, I'm afraid I'll become a 'hero' because of my high reputation."

This hero refers to someone who is too famous, too selfless, admired by everyone, but has no private life.

He's not a partner, so he can't do that kind of thing.

"She told you that owning a villa is the standard requirement for getting married?"

"??? How did you know?" D'Artagnan asked, looking shocked.

As expected of my master, he saw through everything as soon as he arrived in Zhidong.

"...Your contract is equivalent to working for the Fool for free for a hundred years."

"?"

D'Artagnan blinked, her mind racing.
