And the Eightfold Son of God didn't care at all, because what Li Xuan said was indeed the truth. Ying, this blockhead, was simply not fit to govern the country.

Lei Dianying remained silent, not saying a word, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"A country whose fate has long been determined, rebelling more and more frequently, and then being wiped out with a single sword. This eternal purgatory of eternal reincarnation is the fate of Inazuma. I have no intention of interfering."

"But my companions have different opinions. Perhaps it's because of the cultural similarities, or perhaps it's because we're all in the same world, but Mei and Daohua are very concerned about the country they founded. As for your behavior, as I said before, they are angry at your lack of fighting spirit and hate your inaction."

"So, even though I had no particular interest myself, I intervened in the Inazuma situation at their request."

Li Xuan calmly stated the reasons why he and others intervened in the Inazuma situation, and Lei Dianying did not doubt it. After all, as the winner, he had no need to lie.

"Could it be that I'm really wrong?"

"Wrong! And it's undoubtedly terribly wrong! Your so-called eternal way is undoubtedly just an escape. Being unable to govern the country well and delegating power to humans, while also being unable to completely let go, is even more outrageous."

"Sitting in the castle tower, you maintain the shogunate's corrupt rule and become the most powerful support for the three magistrates to exploit the people. Unknowingly, you and the three magistrates have already switched places. In essence, you have become a tool for the three magistrates to maintain their rule."

This is also why Li Xuan wasn't too angry about Lei Dianying's actions. He would be angry at a smart person's inaction, but he wouldn't be angry at a fool, as he had no expectations.

Chapter 567: Mei's Fury

"If you hesitate when you should make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. Since you know you don't have the talent to govern a country, you should choose to let go completely, just like Barbatos of Mondstadt. Then, if the shogunate becomes corrupt, the people will naturally teach them a lesson. Since you have chosen to sit in the castle tower, you must take power into your own hands."

"Half-baked people like you are the most harmful."

Li Xuan criticized Lei Dianying without any hesitation and completely denied what she had done.

"If you make a mistake, you must accept the punishment. That's why I joined the resistance army and overthrew the rule of your shogunate. Since you are not doing anything, I will let someone who can do something to govern. Since the Three Magistrates are extremely corrupt, I will overturn the entire aristocratic system and confiscate all property and exterminate all clans."

Lei Yingyan remained silent. She wanted to refute, but she couldn't find a reason to refute. As a loser, she couldn't continue to be willful. She could only admit her failure, both as a monarch and as a warrior.

Looking at the dejected Lei Dianying, Yae Shenzi felt a little bit sorry for him, but there were more important things waiting to be solved, so she could only ignore Lei Dianying for a while.

"May I ask, sir, what the future holds for Inazuma? Who would you entrust her to govern?"

Yaejinko really wants to know who the person you're referring to as someone who has made great achievements is. Is it the Thunder Sisters from another world, or someone else?

"Little fox, you don't have to worry. I have neither the time nor the interest to rule a mere Inazuma. To be honest, it doesn't even deserve to be part of my direct power."

"The future of Inazuma and the ruler are not decided by me, nor do I care. You should ask Mei about this."

Mei? Yaejinko was puzzled. To be honest, she didn't recognize any of these people, not even their names. She had no idea who Mei was that Li Xuan was talking about.

However, she did not doubt for too long. Since Li Xuan had already handed over the initiative to her, as the initiator of this Inazuma trip, Mei Raiden naturally would not back down.

"Before I answer your question, I have a few questions for you to answer first."

"Putting aside the Eye Hunting Order, why was the National Closure Order passed so easily?"

Looking at Mei Raiden who looked like an angry real adult from five hundred years ago, Yaesuga felt a little sad. However, this problem was not her fault. It was entirely the fault of the general's puppet. Why should she, a little fox, take the blame?

"This is all for the eternal way!"

The general was originally very unhappy because of a series of Lei Dianying actions that violated the so-called eternal way. He tried to fight for the control of his body several times, but was suppressed by Lei Dianying. Until this time, his own path was completely denied by his other sister. When Lei Dianying was depressed, the general took the opportunity to show up.

"Your so-called eternal path is immutability. Inazuma will live forever just as you wish, right? But have you ever considered that humans only live for a few decades, with 20 to 30 years forming a generation? How can you guarantee their eternity? This is a false proposition in itself."

"Putting aside other things for now, do you know why these two orders you issued led to the emergence of so many rebels within Inazuma?"

"why?"

The general didn't understand this either. Even with her dull mind, when she saw so many rebels in Inazuma, she knew that something must have gone wrong.

"It's simple! You've been sitting in the castle tower for hundreds of years without leaving, so you naturally don't understand the changes in the outside world. Back then, Inazuma had just suffered a great disaster, and the population was sparse. Everything was in ruins, so naturally, Inazuma itself was able to provide enough food for everyone. But now, hundreds of years later, the population of Inazuma has increased significantly. Under your isolation order, a full 30% of the people have lost their food supply."

"If they don't rebel, they'll starve to death. Do you think your so-called eternal way can make them starve to death? Using data from hundreds of years ago to govern the Inazuma of today is a huge joke!"

Mei Raiden was already very angry when she said this. When she was in Liyue, she had only heard about it, so naturally her anger was not so strong.

When she actually set foot in Inazuma and saw the suffering of ordinary people, the anger in her heart grew stronger.

The general was certainly not stupid enough to think that ordinary people would choose faith over life. There might be such people, but they would only be a very small minority. More people would definitely choose to resist.

However, believing in the eternal way, she had not left the castle tower since entering it, so she naturally assumed that Inazuma still looked the same as she remembered. All strategies were based on the appearance of the castle tower from hundreds of years ago, so it would be strange if there were no major mistakes.

Under the rule of General Lei Dian and the corrupted Sanbuxing, the Inazuma family had been able to survive for so many years without any rebellion, thanks to the demonic disaster five hundred years ago.

Even Kitsune Saigiya died in the battle, which shows how brutal the war was at that time. Only one in ten people outside Inazuma Castle survived, and less than 30% of the entire Inazuma population survived. Under such circumstances, a large amount of benefits were left for the upper class to control. Naturally, ordinary people lived a good life in the first two or three hundred years.

“I, I………………”

Now even General Lei Dian was speechless, and she couldn't find a good reason to refute.

"The Eternal Way is not wrong!"

Hearing General Raiden's dry rebuttal, Mei Raiden was so angry that she laughed.

"If you were just a warrior, pursuing spiritual realms, the eternal way, then I wouldn't say anything. But you're using the eternity of martial arts to govern a country. You're crazy, aren't you? Your eternal way is very profound, right? So, if you apply the eternal way to your spear, will it be equally powerful?" (Wang Zhao's figure)

"Do you dare to promise me that?"

Looking at the completely speechless General Raiden, Mei Raiden's tone became increasingly stern.

"You wouldn't dare. It's both martial arts, just a change of weapons, and there's a huge difference. How dare you use martial arts philosophy to govern a country? These are completely unrelated things!"

Looking at the general who was scolded until he was covered in dirt, Yae Shinko remained calm on the surface, but in his heart he was already beaming with joy. You, a blockhead, finally have come to this day. It's really gratifying!

After severely criticizing Raiden Jianjun, Raiden Mei also vented a lot of her anger caused by everything she saw in Inazuma territory in the past few days, and her mood gradually calmed down.

"You are not fit to be a monarch. It's better for you to be a pure warrior like we did five hundred years ago! You just need to obey orders."

Chapter 568: Hope of Resurrection

"That's impossible! I won't serve anyone other than my sister."

The General was sunk by Raiden Mei, and the Thunder Movie was back online. The advantage of having two personalities lies here, the two alternating, the health bar is thick enough.

When saying this, Lei Dianying also looked at Raiden Mei. Obviously, if it was her, the sister from another world, Lei Dianying would also be willing to exist as Raiden Mei's shadow warrior.

However, Lei Dianying's words angered Lei Dian Daohua. Was his other self trying to steal his job? He was just a defeated opponent, yet he dared to be so arrogant.

"What if it's Raiden himself?"

Mei Raiden ignored the secret rivalry between Touka Raiden and Diandian Raiden, and said this lightly.

"Sister! You mean sister? That's impossible. She died in that disaster five hundred years ago!"

Hearing Mei mention Raiden Shin's name, Raiden Film became particularly agitated. If it weren't for the fact that it was her sister from another world who said this, she would have drawn her sword and attacked. Even so, Raiden Film was a little angry.

On the contrary, it was Yae Shinko who was smart enough to hear something from Raiden Mei's words.

"Could it be that you can resurrect the real master?"

"No, I can not!"

Mei Raiden flatly denied Yaesuga's guess, which made the eyes of Rai Dianyi and Yaesuga, who had just felt a little hope, dim again.

"But someone can!"

Mei Raiden was obviously being naughty. She divided the sentence into two parts and then handed the next question to Li Xuan. Only he could do the resurrection.

Lei Dianying and Yae Shenzi, who trusted Raiden Mei's words more, turned their hopeful eyes to Li Xuan.

"Tell me, is it possible for Heaven to resurrect a demon god?"

"Although I have never seen Tianli in person, based on the information I have learned, he should be able to resurrect the Demon God."

Lei Dianying pondered for a long time and finally came to a conclusion. After she said this, hope appeared in her eyes even brighter. According to her speculation, if her own self in another world was at the level of a maintainer of heaven's law, then the leading Li Xuan should be equivalent to the heaven's law in another world.

Although this guess is extremely wrong, justice and Li Xuan are completely incomparable.

If Tianli can resurrect the devil, then Li Xuan should be able to do the same.

"That's right! Theoretically, it's possible for Tianxiang to resurrect the Demon God. But He is unwilling and won't do it!"

"Why do you think He started the Demon God War?"

Li Xuan then raised another question and gave the answer without waiting for Lei Dianying to answer.

"Of course, He wants to replace the original seven elemental dragon kings with His own seven ruling systems to rule the world, but more importantly, He needs the death of the demon gods, the death of a large number of demon gods."

"Otherwise, if they want to select the Seven Rulings, she can simply designate them. There's no need to breed demons from various regions to engage in internal strife. This will undoubtedly weaken their own power, unless there's a greater benefit involved."

"Tianli is an outsider after all, not the true creator god of Teyvat. He cannot grasp all the fundamental rules of Teyvat, such as the destination of all living souls and the veins throughout the land."

"After the demon god's soul merged into the earth veins after his death, Tianli was able to gain access to the earth veins. Unfortunately, Tianli's plan was good, but the earth veins' rejection of outsiders exceeded his expectations. Whether it was the demon god or the original god, the souls merged into the earth veins at an unusually slow speed, disrupting his plans."

"Of course, the earth's rejection of the souls of demon gods and primordial gods is undoubtedly bad news for the laws of nature. However, it is absolutely good news for those who wish to resurrect demon gods and primordial gods. Otherwise, the souls of both primordial gods and demon gods would be no match for the earth's veins and would have long since merged into them and disappeared without a trace."

"So, sister and everyone else can be resurrected?"

Lei Dianying was extremely excited. Li Xuan's long words only meant one thing, that is, his sister and everyone else who was lost five hundred years ago had the possibility of resurrection.

"Of course. As far as Heaven is concerned, He is unwilling and unable to resurrect the Demon God. After all, He doesn't have much authority over the earth veins. Resurrecting the Demon God would be tantamount to acting recklessly, which would incur great disgust and backlash from the earth veins. He would be crazy to do this. But for me, resurrection is not a difficult task."

"This is really great!"

Both Lei Dian and Yae Shenzi were happy that everyone who died five hundred years ago could be resurrected.

Kujo Sara was also happy for the General, although she was also frightened because she heard too many things that she shouldn't have heard, such as there were two Thunder Generals, the previous General was the twin sister of the current General, and the General from another world, etc.

"Don't be too happy too soon!"

Just when the three of them were happy, Li Xuan poured a basin of cold water on them.

"I can revive Raiden Shin and the others, but why would I do that?"

"Although resurrection is not a difficult task for me, it doesn't mean I will do it. Mei asked me to help you, and I agreed, but you have to pay the price. When you have decided on the price, come back to me!"

Lei Dianying was stunned for a moment, but didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Although Mei Raiden and Touka Raiden were his sister and himself from another world, resurrecting his sisters was ultimately the business of himself and others in this world, so naturally, they couldn't be asked to pay the price for resurrection.

But then Lei Dianying was in trouble. He had to ask a strong man of at least the level of Tianli to help resurrect his sisters. Even when he was the ruler of Inazuma before, he didn't offer this price, let alone now.

After thinking hard for several days, Lei Dianying still couldn't figure out what he could offer as a price to get Li Xuan to help him resurrect his sisters.

In the end, Hanasari, who had been observing the situation, found Yaesugami and revealed her identity before making a suggestion.

"Why don't you go ask the Thunder Sisters from another world? It's no use imagining things here!"

"Right! We don't know the specific situation, we can go ask them!"

Lei Dianying finally realized what was going on and went to look for Raiden Mei. Yae Shenzi smacked her head in frustration. She was so worried that she hadn't thought of this move. How wrong!

Chapter 569: A Flash of Inspiration from the Eightfold Son of God

"As for this question? Honestly, is it difficult or easy?"

Mei Raiden had anticipated Lei Dianying's arrival. However, she had no real solution. This was clearly a matter that affected Li Xuan's mood, and Li Xuan's influence on Lei Dianying was somewhat low.

"For Li Xuan, resurrection is simple. He previously resurrected Morax's friends and subordinates thousands of years ago in Liyue. He didn't charge any price because he has friends in Liyue. The reason he's deliberately making things difficult for you here is probably because he's not very familiar with you and can't stand your previous actions. You need to find a way to change his mind."

Mei Raiden has a better understanding of Li Xuan after spending these days together. Although he is more reasonable, he usually helps his relatives instead of others.

But Lei Dianying was neither his relative nor his friend, and what he did made him unhappy, so naturally - Li Xuan handled the matter impartially.

Lei Dianying got the answer, but he couldn't think of any good solution. He could only go back and ask the two fox demons, Yaejinko and Hanasari, for advice.

"From the intelligence we've gathered so far, Emperor Taiyi's thinking is closer to Liyue's culture. No wonder his martial arts were first spread in Liyue."

"He's clearly very unhappy with the erroneous policies. While not to the point of disgust, reversing them is a very difficult task. This isn't something that can be easily addressed."

Hanasari knew that even the entire Inazuma family was nothing to Li Xuan, and it was impossible for them to pay the price that would satisfy him. So they could only find a way to change Li Xuan's feelings towards Ying, but this was not an easy task.

"Son of God, you should have stopped Ying from the beginning!"

Hanasari felt helpless. If she wanted to change her image as a person who made mistakes in the eyes of her superiors, the best way would be to not make those mistakes.

"Lord Hanasari, it's easy for you to say that. Ying hid himself away and handed all the matters over to the General, a blockhead and a stubborn guy. What can I do?"

Although Hanasari did not admit that she was Kitsune Saigimiya, Yae Kamiko still respected her very much. Faced with her responsibilities, she could only helplessly defend herself.

Although she didn't care much about the mortals of Inazuma, as a relative of Lei Dianying, her responsibility still made her make some efforts to maintain the overall situation of Inazuma.

But the fools who had no moral principles of war came to deceive and attack her, an old senior, and she was not careful for a moment, so the general issued the isolation order and the hunting order, which led to the current situation in Inazuma.

However, the quarrel between the two dealt another heavy blow to Lei Dianying, who was already regretting his decision, and he looked even more depressed.

Hanasari and Yae Kamiko also noticed this and kept silent. If you were to ask who had been most devastated by the events of the past few days, it would undoubtedly be Lei Dianzi.

Defeated in strength, his country taken away, and his ideals of governance almost completely denied—this triple blow was unbearable! Now, his hopes of reviving his sister had become slim due to his own actions. Under such circumstances, Yaegamiko and Hanasari had no intention of rubbing salt in her wounds.

"Ahem, let's continue to think of a solution!"
