Genshin Impact: I, the Winter Prince, reign supreme.

When Phanes, the primordial being, descended upon Teyvat, he created four shadows.

Then, he defeated the seven elemental dragons, unified the continent of Teyvat, and created the new species of humankind.

Later, the Second Throne arrived, and a devastating war broke out between them and Phanes.

It was at that time that Yuanxia Palace fell from Sky Island to its current location...

Chapter 41 Past Events of the Sun and Moon

Su Yu borrowed this book not to read its contents, but to confirm something.

Sky Island's tacit approval of Barbatos's discovery of "The Story of the Sun and Moon" during his exploration of the Abyss Palace, secretly storing it in the library's basement, suggests that its contents may be erroneous and misleading.

Otherwise, this forbidden book would have been destroyed by Sky Isle long ago, and it would have been impossible for Barbatos or anyone else to find it.

Therefore, the final result of that earth-shattering war should have been that the Second Throne defeated the First Throne, rather than the "First Throne defeated the Second Throne" as generally believed by Teyvat historians.

The creator god of the continent of Teyvat, the ruler of the First Throne—

The original man, Phanes, was probably killed by the Second Throne!

Having deduced this astonishing result, Su Yu was unsettled.

The feeling of being watched by some terrifying being grew stronger.

"You're trying to play tricks on me, you don't know what's good for you!"

Su Yu decided to use this forbidden book to learn more about Sky Island.

If there really is some kind of taboo in this world, Su Yu will not feel any fear now; it's just a matter of fighting.

Prince Zhidong was born to break these taboos.

Su Yu decided to use Lisa's identity to test Sky Island.

"Miss Lisa, may I borrow your divine eye?"

Countless people yearn to receive the attention of the gods in order to obtain a precious "eye of the gods," which is seen as a favor from heaven and a blessing from the gods.

Therefore, everyone regards the Eye of God as their most precious treasure. Even the closest people will not easily give the Eye of God to each other, let alone lend it to outsiders.

Therefore, Su Yu's request sounded somewhat rude.

But Lisa is no ordinary person. Before coming to Mondstadt, she was a genius who appeared only once every 200 years in the Temple of Sumeru. After witnessing the fervor of those who sought knowledge, she developed an extreme aversion to it. After studying in Sumeru for two years, she came to Mondstadt and took up the job of librarian.

Her studies at Sumeru gave her a unique understanding of the power of the gods.

Others who obtain the Eye of God are usually very excited and happy, but she showed great worry when she obtained it.

While the Eye of God can grant people the ability to use elements, the cost is unknown.

The unknown terrified her, yet it also fueled her curiosity, making her eager to know the truth behind the Eye of God.

From that day on, Lisa had her Eye of God made into a beautiful necklace and wore it around her neck as an ornament rather than a personal treasure.

"Sigh, after working for so long, Your Highness is the first person to ask me to borrow the Eye of God. Anyway, it's not a necessity, so I'll lend it to you. But Your Highness, you have to help me retrieve it; I can't do it myself."

Lisa took off her purple magic hat, tossed aside her brown wavy hair, and then turned her back.

Su Yu came up behind her and began to unfasten the necklace, a refreshing fragrance wafting out.

After fiddling with it for a while, Lisa asked in confusion, "Why isn't it done yet?"

"Miss Lisa, may I ask if that button should be turned to the left or the right?"

"Ah...haha..."

Lisa covered her mouth and chuckled softly, as if she had discovered an incredible secret.

It turns out that the Winter Prince, who had "killed" them without leaving a single survivor in the Knights of Favonius, did not know how to untie a woman's necklace.

"Your Highness, it's not twisted, you have to pry it open."

Su Yu successfully unfastened the necklace and breathed a sigh of relief.

To be fair, this is even more difficult than killing those monsters on the northern border.

"Miss Lisa, please step back."

"Your Highness, please be careful."

Lisa stepped aside, feeling a mixture of fear and anticipation.

Prince Zhidong's strength is unfathomable. If anyone can unravel the secrets behind the Eye of God and the forbidden ancient book, it is probably only him.

Su Yu held the Eye of God, still warm from Lisa's body, in his left hand, while holding the ancient book "The Past of the Sun and Moon" in his right hand. He slowly brought his palms together, and when they aligned into a straight line, Su Yu activated the power of lightning.

The divine power of lightning within him was continuously channeled into the ancient text through Lisa's Eye of God.

Almost instantly, "The Story of the Sun and Moon" burst forth with dazzling brilliance in his hands.

On this day, a beam of light shone down from Sky Isle, like holy light, penetrating the thick walls and floor of the Knights of Favonius Library and shining into the basement.

And at the very center of the beam of light was Prince Zhidong, Su Yu.

The holy light was so intense that it resembled a tangible waterfall, cascading down from the heavens and impacting and pressing against Su Yu's body.

Su Yu remained unmoved, enduring the oppressive force emanating from Sky Island.

Lisa covered her mouth in terror and unease—

Those holy lights were shockingly crimson, like blood, exuding an eeriness and foreboding!

She had seen similar blood-red light in the records of the war that destroyed the kingdom of Kanria; it seemed to be a power from the laws of nature.

She had no doubt that she would die immediately if she touched even a little bit of the crimson holy light.

"Since you can see the future, why not worship?"

A powerful, majestic, and icy female voice descended from Sky Island.

Judging from the voice, it wasn't the white-haired enforcer of justice, but another woman.

Lisa, who was closest to Su Yu, was caught in the blast and fainted on the spot.

The sounds from Sky Island contained an overwhelming divine power that she could not resist.

"The past belongs to death, the future belongs to myself. I am the future!"

With a roar, the ice element on Su Yu's body surged forth, coalescing into an ice dragon that surged into the sky against the direction of the holy light, heading straight for Sky Island.

"Insignificant ants in the circle, impersonating the chosen ones, disrupting order, deserve to be punished!"

The voices from Sky Island were filled with rage.

"The Eye of God, it really is a tool of conspiracy... You are guilty of unforgivable crimes for breeding humans and selecting the chosen ones!"

Three elemental forces surged wildly around Su Yu.

Today, he will challenge Sky Island!

If Lisa were still conscious, she would surely deduce astonishing information from Su Yu's words.

In Teyvat, the Seven Gods never distribute Eyes of God; the Sky Isles are responsible for doing so.

It is said that every possessor of the Vision of God is qualified to ascend to Sky Island and become a god, hence the name "Genshin Impact".

Today, Su Yu indirectly confirmed that the price for humans to use the Eye of God is that they will be observed and monitored by Sky Island, and selected as the "Chosen Ones" by them.

In an instant, an aura of world destruction enveloped Mondstadt's capital city.

Mondstadt, which had just cleared up after the rain, was instantly shrouded in dark clouds, and the sky darkened as if the end of the world had arrived.

"I can't get in! There's no way I can get in—"

Just then, a soft, cute voice came from outside the basement door.

"Sigh, think of something quickly!"

"The keyhole on this door is too small, I really can't squeeze through it."

"What should we do? The core of the light that fell from Sky Island is in this basement. I must find out what happened, maybe I can find a clue to my sister."

Su Yu immediately confirmed the identities of the two: the traveler Kong and his companion Paimon.

Before leaving, Su Yu had specifically instructed the Lady of the Hidden Mirror to arrange for the two of them to stay at the Goethe Hotel after finding the traveler. Her sudden appearance in the library could only mean that Schubert, whom she had sent to the Deer Hunter Restaurant to find the traveler, had arrived a step too late.

"Traveler, look! The holy light is weakening; it's about to disappear!"

Paimon shouted again.

Su Yu also felt it; the previous oppressive feeling had completely disappeared.

The crimson light from the sky was withdrawn by Sky Island.

The imminent war was abruptly halted by the arrival of the travelers.

Is Skye afraid to fight itself, or is it intentionally avoiding travelers?

Su Yu had no idea what the answer was.

But then he looked to his right and saw that the ancient book, "The Past of the Sun and Moon," had turned to ashes.

The ashes fell to the ground, then turned into countless tiny particles of light, drifting towards an unknown place outside the window.

As for Lisa's Eye of God, it was naturally destroyed, resembling a lump of charred charcoal.

At this moment, the evil eyes given to them by [Doctor] Dottore finally came in handy.

Su Yu used his divine power to bring Lisa back to consciousness.

“Miss Lisa, as compensation for you, please feel free to choose any of the evil eyes here.”

Lisa stared at the box full of dazzling evil eyes, unsure of where to begin; each one was unique and exquisite.

While Lisa was choosing the Eye of God, Su Yu opened the basement door.

He greeted the travel-worn young man and Paimon.

"Hello, travelers and Paimon."

Paimon, hands on his hips, asked suspiciously, "Hey, tell me quickly, are you a bad guy? Otherwise, how do you know our names?"

“Mr. Abedo and I just met and discussed your situation. If you would like to know what happened here, please come with me to the Goethe Hotel later to discuss it in detail.”

Paimon, his body shimmering with starlight, said, "Hmph, but you don't seem that busy right now."
