In Genshin Impact, why are all the characters I play NPCs?

She needs to do something.

She's destined to be a hero who saves the world, so isn't the person in front of her part of the world too?

The world she wants to save naturally includes the other person.

Compared to Fischl's helplessness, Ying and Paimon were much calmer, not worried at all, and even had time to comment on Xu Guang's acting skills.

Paimon spoke first: "It's a bit too flamboyant."

Ying, however, was more pragmatic: "You can't say that. I feel that Fischl is quite receptive to this approach."

Paimon hummed in agreement and nodded in approval.

As for whether Xu Guang will die?

Just kidding.

There's an old saying that goes, "A scourge can live on for ten thousand years." As the biggest scourge she knew, given his personality, even if the Seven Gods fell, he might not be in any danger.

However, this is obviously not something that can be said here, at least not now.

What if I ruin their performance and they choose me to be an actor?

Who could stand this?

Chapter 328: I am the Great Sage of Mount Sumeru

"do not want!"

Fischl could only manage to utter this one sentence, no matter how hard he tried.

The wind was too strong, making her unsteady, and the cage of light kept her out.

Seeing the other person's somewhat disheveled appearance, Xu Guang smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry about me. The hero defeats the evil dragon, and I should also make my contribution. I just hope you won't forget me."

Fischl's palms were aching, and her joints were terribly sore; she didn't want that to happen.

They were already acquainted as partners, and they had already decided to take the monster back to its hometown to meet its parents after begging for food.

Why is it that at the very end, at this crucial moment, she is powerless?

If Fischl were given another chance, she would still come back to fight this evil dragon that brought disaster to the world, because she bears the heavy responsibility of saving the world.

But we will definitely make full preparations.

At least don't do that; don't let that person leave in front of you.

Braving the wind, Fischl moved forward step by step. Already injured, she was now struggling to walk, but she still did not give up.

Xu Guang looked at it, and then wondered if he should change the plan.

He originally planned to take advantage of the end to make a graceful exit, and if he was lucky, he could even get one for free.

But judging from this, Fischl still cares about herself quite a bit.

Should we give the other party a chance?

But if that's the case, once the effects of Dulin completely disappear, Fischl will immediately realize who he is once he regains his memories.

He had never used a fake identity before.

Looking at the staggering girl, Xu Guang sighed and decided to be gentle with her.

I'll skip the transparent one; I have other things to do later.

Turning around, Xu Guang went to the edge of the cage, raised his hand, and covered it.

Fischl also struggled to the outside of the cage and raised his hand to imprint it.

With palms facing each other, it felt as if our hearts were closer.

Xu Guang smiled and shook his head: "Go back. My story should come to an end, and your future is just beginning."

Starlight rose from beneath my feet, and my figure gradually faded.

Fischl's eyes welled up with tears: "No, we're teammates, how can I leave you alone..."

Seeing the commotion, Ying sighed from the bottom of her heart: "So this guy is into chuunibyou. He's actually so gentle. I thought he was going to take this opportunity to say something, that he's going to die anyway, but he's never had that kind of thing with a girl, and then have sex with her. I didn't expect him to actually leave."

To be fair, Xu Guang did have such thoughts, but only a little bit.

But then again, he had so many opportunities to do things he loved, so why did he have to do it at this time, when this young girl was dreaming of being a hero?

It's better to leave a good impression, so it'll be easier to do something next time.

When his memories return, he'll definitely go all out.

His figure was no longer visible. Fischl stared at the empty space in front of him and fell silent.

The dragon was defeated, and she became a hero, but she didn't seem happy at all.

She felt that the person in front of her was familiar, but she couldn't quite place him.

"Let's... go back."

After an unknown amount of time, Fischl stood up, looked at the two teammates who remained beside him, and said with a smile.

Ying nodded; she did indeed feel her attention being diverted.

The hero fighting the dragon is a good story.

She wasn't so sad anymore.

If one day her brother becomes that evil dragon, she will stand up and tell him that she will definitely stop him and then take him home.

On the other side, Xu Guang was a bit of a headache looking at the storyline of Xumi, which was beyond saving.

I should have known better than to show off back then.

Now things are really going on a wild ride of unpredictable developments over there.

Originally, this point was supposed to be when the Traveler was knocked unconscious by the scoundrel, and then a certain hat went to demand the Heart of God before defecting from the Fools and reuniting with the Doctor.

However, due to his intervention, a skirmisher died, the Lady and the Traveler spent more time in Liyue and Mondstadt, and the Eye of the Wild was gone.

The doctor and the great sage's plan continues, but the key figures are gone.

Therefore, they had to find new candidates, and it is precisely because of this that Sumeru is not at peace now.

It is common for school-aged children to go missing, and when they are found later, they are already lying on the roadside, delirious and insane.

Unfortunately, while the Scattered Soldiers aren't exactly good stuff, they are indeed the most suitable core for the God of the Righteous Machine.

That was a human-like doll created by the gods.

Finding a new one is just too difficult.

If it weren't for this, he would definitely have written the hero's story even longer. Now he can only quickly hand over Dulin and then deal with the mess over there.

Although Xu Guang never truly considered the residents of Teyvat to be human, things had come to this point, and he didn't want any more innocent victims.

At this very moment, in a secret laboratory in Sumeru, the Great Sage angrily grabbed the Doctor.

"Tell me, what have you done?!"

The doctor said calmly.

"It's just about selecting the core members, isn't that what you wanted?"

The great sage was so angry he laughed. He leaned in and spoke in a fierce tone, spitting all over the doctor's face as he spoke.

"What I wanted? Did I allow you to arrest children so recklessly? Do you know how much chaos your actions have caused in Sumeru?"

The Doctor casually wiped the drool off his face and then slapped the Great Sage's hand away.

"It's really strange that someone like you would care about the lives of ordinary people?"

The Great Sage sneered: "Even if they are ordinary, they are still my subjects of Sumeru, and I am the Great Sage of Sumeru."

The doctor shook his head, somewhat helplessly: "Yes, yes, you're a good person, okay? It's not like the time when you asked me to cooperate now. You haven't forgotten, have you? We agreed that you would provide me with experimental sites and materials, and I would help you get a 'god'."

The great sage did not respond to this, but simply took two steps back and crossed his arms.

"I also said at the time that the items I provided did not include people."

The doctor smiled and casually picked up a test tube.

"So what? Compared to a god, a little sacrifice is normal, isn't it? Once a god is created, you Sumeru can also live a peaceful life. Isn't that what you want?"

The great sage snorted coldly, left a sentence, and departed. Sumeru was in chaos, and he had to go and stabilize the situation.

"This is a one-time exception. If I find out again, you'll face the consequences."

The doctor chuckled.

He knew the other party wouldn't stop, and this harmless threat was proof of that, but it didn't matter; his plan was almost complete.

All that's missing is the core.

As I rubbed my fingertip against the test tube, light shone through the green liquid.

The PhD student was somewhat moved.

"Xu Guang, where have you been? Why won't you listen to us? Do you think you can fight against us just because you got the Heart of God?"

Chapter 329: I am the sixth seat of the Fools, the person you are looking for.

The great sage took a deep breath as he left the laboratory; how could he not know that he was dealing with a tiger for its skin?

But the reward was too tempting.

A god, a powerful god who can protect Sumeru as it advances.

What exactly is that little grass god?

Unable to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, and relying solely on idealistic notions to lead Mount Sumeru?

Ah.

At first, he didn't understand why the great sages of all ages refused to release the little grass god.

At first, he was also a passionate young man, thinking about saving the gods while criticizing the previous great sages for being blinded by greed.

But once he came into contact with the Little Grass God, he understood why this was the case.

As a newly born god, she is too young and her actions are too unrealistic.

It is important to know that Sumeru is not just the city of Sumeru, but also has millions of people living in the desert. The biggest problem Sumeru is facing now is the conflict between the desert and the jungle that has existed for thousands of years.

A thorough study of history will make it clear why this is the case.

As the current supreme ruler of Sumeru, the Great Sage needs to, and must, think more than ordinary people.

People always complain that he didn't treat the desert people as human beings, but is that really the case?

Demonscale Disease, the Dead Zone, and the invasion of the Abyss, and many other things like that.

He longed to manage the desert, given its vast territory and large population, but he couldn't.

We have no money and no extra resources.

In this world where gods exist, their gods are too weak to protect their people, and they have no power to resist powerful crises.

Therefore, the great sage had to take charge of development while also thinking about how to solve the biggest problem of Mount Sumeru.

God.

Call him a dictator or an ambitious man, what he wants to do is ensure that everyone in Sumeru can live a peaceful life in the future.

That's it.

With a sigh, the Great Sage planned to return to his office to see what tasks awaited him that day, but suddenly he heard someone calling his name.

"It's been a while, Hazard, why do you look so gloomy?"

The great sage immediately turned around and looked at the man with whom he had a conflict, his face showing wariness.

Xu Guang found his current appearance somewhat amusing: "Don't you remember me? That's really heartbreaking. But judging from your expression, that doesn't seem to be the case. Why don't you tell me? Maybe I can help you."

The great sage did not retreat, but merely scrutinized the other person, unable to fathom what his purpose might be.

Xu Guang sighed when he saw that the person opposite him remained silent for a long time.

"Let me reintroduce myself. I am the sixth seat of the Fatui, and the core you have been looking for. We did have a misunderstanding before, but I hope you don't mind. It's better for both of us."

Upon hearing this, the great sage's eyes widened in surprise.

"Core! You..."
