He changed Tiwat

On February 17th, in the early morning, Han Fulai discussed plans with Gan Yu. In the morning, he met with Bai Shu and obtained intelligence clues about Ba Che and the Demon God. In the afternoon, he persuaded Ning Guang to join the "Demon God Threat Theory" plan.

On February 18, Yun Jin obtained the stage at Qunyu Pavilion, and Han Fulai obtained one-day command of the Southern Cross Fleet.

On February 19th, in the Battle of Ba Che, the Sea God offered his head, and Han Fu resolved the "karmic obstacles," winning the hearts of the immortals. On the same day, Xiao Han and Shen He ascended to Dua Lang.

On February 20, Xiao Han successfully tricked Ke Qing into joining the Qianyan Army's transformation plan.

Ah, you guys said that the cat was brutally persecuted in its own home turf? That's a Genshin Impact feature, you have to experience it (no mercy).

However, Ah Qing will still have a significant role in the next volume, so her luck will turn around, hmm.

II. Combat Effectiveness Standards

Since Han gained martial power in this volume, we'll discuss the current power system of the Teyvat continent.

Based on average combat strength.

1. Ordinary people.

Ordinary soldiers, knights, adventurers, and martial artists all fall into this category. Of course, some possess combat power exceeding that of the holder of the Eye of God, such as Master Qin of the Ancient Hua Sect, known for his Thunder Hand technique.

2. Genshin Impact (Vision Holder)

This level fluctuates greatly. With the Eye of God, their combat power is basically stronger than that of ordinary people. However, non-combatants can at most defeat ordinary people one-on-one. If there are many people, they still can't withstand it, like Barbara.

The Fatui's Evil Eye form is stronger than that of a typical Eye of God holder, and if possessed by Demon God Remnants, they should be among the top tier of Eye of God holders. If we use Diluc as the standard for combat power, then Diluc in his normal state is stronger than the Evil Eye form but weaker than the Demon God Remnants. The Fatui Executors' Evil Eye form should at least be on par with the Demon God Remnants level. Most of the Abyss Bringers are also in this tier.

People like the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius should be at the pinnacle of human combat power. They could at least defeat the young master in a one-on-one fight and could even hold their own against the demon gods' familiars.

My personal theory is that the peak combat power of the holder of the Eye of God is Jiang Xue, the fisherman at Wangshu Inn. You know, fishermen can do everything except fish. And yes, he has a significant role later in the story.

In the setting, the Returning Machine is operated by the Chiyan Army, which is equivalent to a powerful God's Eye holder striking with one blow. The power of the bomber is related to the type and quantity of explosives it carries.

3. Immortals (including demigods) and their demonic relatives

This is also a highly volatile range; the strong can fight against demon gods, while the weak, like Yanfei, can't even defeat a few Abyss Orders. However, the Liyue Immortals are all veterans of the Demon God War, possessing combat experience that gives them an edge, making them different from Yanfei. Ganyu's combat strength is roughly on par with Xiao.

Ba Che can be used as a reference for the strongest immortal combat power, possessing demon god-level combat power for a short period. Xiao can hold the line against Ba Che single-handedly, but he probably can't win.

The strongest surviving immortal is probably Granny Ping, followed by Lord Liuyun (who is such a good conversationalist and has survived for so many years without being killed, and who is confident he can single-handedly destroy Liyue Harbor). He is capable of fighting ordinary demon gods one-on-one.

The Demon God's Familiars haven't been written about much yet. Characters like Stormterror Dvalin can basically be considered to have Demon God-level attack power, but they don't have the same amount of health or mana as Demon Gods.

Ah, you're asking about the scumbag fox? Isn't it obvious that a scumbag fox, who imprisons its own god in a weekly dungeon, is stronger than a regular demon god?

4. Demon God and Dragon King

The weakest of the demon gods, like the Salt Goddess, could be killed by ordinary people, but with the added power of her abilities, her true combat strength shouldn't be too weak. I'm more inclined to believe her death was due to a "broken Dao heart," likely betrayed by those she protected, leading her to choose death. Of course, even in a real fight, she might not be able to defeat other demon gods. But she would at least be no weaker than an immortal.

Among the elemental creatures, the Rock Dragon King Tuozi is capable of going toe-to-toe with Zhongli, and the dragon kings of the other elements should be not far behind.

The seven rulers of the mortal realm are the strongest warriors who emerged from the war between the demons and gods. Theoretically, they should be at the pinnacle of demonic power, although there are exceptions, which will be discussed later.

In the fanfiction, Gu Hua is stronger than Zhong Li because of the blessing of "Dao" or the resonance of the earth's veins. Back then, Zhong Li was not yet in a state of being blessed by the Dao of Neo-Confucianism.

The impact and explosion of the Jade Pavilion can be seen as the Heavenly Movement of Myriad Phenomena in Zhongli's Demon God state.

5. The principles of Heaven and those who uphold them.

Significantly stronger than all demon gods, who possess powers, while the maintainer of the natural order touches upon the underlying laws of the Teyvat continent.

6. The Traveler and Our Male Protagonist

The Traveler is a character who grows through experience; with all seven elements coexisting, she should be able to fight the Ruler of Heaven. (No doubt, it's Yingmei; she appears around the end of Volume 3.)

Xiao Han currently exhibits four combat states activated by reciting poetry. The immortal power activation level is called "Smoke Scarlet," and with the "Disaster Relief Spear" buff, he can defeat the Ruins Guard.

Cosplaying Zhongli in his current state—a pseudo-immortal level, actually weaker than Xiao Shangxian.

Earth Vein Resonance State – False God Level, short-term Demon God-level offense and defense. It can probably be maintained for a few minutes, during which time the user continuously loses health.

Eliminate all harmful pests—Seventh level of governance, slightly touching the law. This state lasts less than a second, and using it will cause you to lose health until you die.

III. Regarding the plot and characters

As viewers who have finished reading should know, every scene I wrote has a purpose. Apart from the supporting NPC who only appears in one line, all other NPCs with storylines have their own tasks.

Even characters like Lu Hu, the street urchin, and Scarface Liu, who extorted Shen He, as well as the Gu Hua disciples who couldn't find proper jobs, not only reflect the social conditions of Liyue but also pave the way for Liyue's conscription.

If I put a lot of effort into writing about the origins of the Disaster-Suppressing Spear, Shen He's Bagua Formation, the appearance of the Abyss Mage, etc., then it must be closely related to the subsequent plot. Of course, I had already planned how these plots and scenes would turn. If I didn't explain the details of the background plot clearly, the subsequent in-depth exploration and twists would seem abrupt. After all, I'm writing serious fan fiction, so of course I'm digging deep into the details of the original plot.

Whether it's the White Magic and the Seven Treasures Mountain Classic, the Sea God, the layout of the Eight Gates of Liyue Harbor, the relationship between Celestial Magic and Taoist Magic, the relationship between the Disaster Relief Spear and Buddhism, or even the Neo-Confucian rule of Liyue... all of these things are dug out from the original work.

Besides the various restrictions imposed by censorship, I imposed very strict limitations on the background of this book. I clearly distinguished between my own settings and the original setting. Simply put, I'm presenting a "Teyvat continent with a few more transmigrators," so most of the background I wrote is based on fact. Just think of it as a miHoYo writer who actually ran away and is writing fanfiction. My writing approach was to "get as close as possible to the style of Genshin Impact's script and delve deeper into it," lol.

In terms of characters, in this volume, Xiao Han completes a transformation from a useful pawn to someone with the mindset of a chess player. Of course, this is related to his acquisition of martial power, since without power, one cannot truly implement plans according to one's own will.

Although Gan Yu and Zhong Li didn't intervene much, their actions were crucial—for example, without Gan Yu's foresight in giving Xiao Han a boost, Xiao Han would actually be dead. And without Zhong Li's guidance, the plot wouldn't have progressed to this point at all. Yes, Gan Nurd and Queen Zhong have always played an important role behind the scenes.

Although the cat was persecuted, its mentality has changed a lot and its way of doing things has also changed.

Shen He, on the other hand, found someone important to him and returned to human society.

Here's a preview of the contents of Volume 3—

The Keqing Water Control and Night Orchid Legend quests will be combined, and the battle with the rich will also take place here; Zhongli's Salt Flower Legend quest is related to the essence of the demon god; the Moon Chasing Festival storyline; and the Layered Rock Abyss quest.

In this volume, besides the progress with Keqing, there will be a major turning point with Ningguang. Of course, all the foreshadowing has already been laid in the first and second volumes. Please look forward to it.

IV. Miscellaneous Thoughts

The character Xiao Han is actually based on a rather complex set of real people. Aside from the references and some of the author's experiences, many of the elements are drawn from real-life figures. Many of the things he encounters are, without a doubt, real-life examples that I've personally witnessed and that resonate with many similar situations.

Why did Xiao Han end up in such a miserable state? Because he was a good person. You may rarely see the stories of bright, academically gifted students being manipulated by emotions or power struggles, but I have. I've seen it happen to many of my former classmates. For example, I was caught up in a program that allowed students to skip grades and enter university at 16, while many of my classmates entered university at 14 or 15. They were genuinely smart, most of them winning major awards in competitions, far surpassing me—but their later lives were truly tragic.

To give you a real example, when I was writing the first volume, some people thought that rich young men were generally more capable and better at interpersonal relationships—back then, there weren't any news stories about Zhou Gongzi and Yi Gongzi, right? Now nobody leaves comments like that anymore, haha.

I've personally fought with guys like that, since we were roommates. The guy I fought with was a Manchu with the "Tongtianwen" tattoo, his girlfriend was a princess, he even had the opportunity to act in a famous TV series when he was young, and his family's assets are in the hundreds of millions. The reason for the fight was that at a party, I don't know what I did to offend his girlfriend, and she didn't like me, lol.

Even after a week, they can still pretend to be brothers while secretly sabotaging each other, lol.

As for the chaos I've witnessed in the commercial world, there are even more examples, but I won't go into detail about those.

In short, the book contains things that, while entertaining, retain some of their essence to avoid being censored.

Among the people I know, those like Xiao Han, who are intelligent and kind but lack connections, are easily influenced after leaving school. This isn't limited to work; the key is that they are easily hurt by others. As they say, they end up becoming the very thing they hated in their youth.

I remember someone saying to me, "I thought I could get benefits by abandoning my principles, but I later realized how naive I was. There were actually twenty people blowing the trumpet and more than ten carrying the sedan chair. I thought I would have to wait in line to get my turn." That was something like that.

Of course, Xiao Han probably won't be completely morally bankrupt in the end; he'll still maintain his bottom line. However, his methods will become more and more flexible—look at how he's persecuting Ke Maomao now, right? 2333 Actually, Ke Maomao is quite enviable; she's the kind of young lady who has the means to remain kind—that's why she has a face that looks like she's never been bullied, making people want to bully her a little. 23333

Although in the Liyue environment, doing practical things means you can't be a perfect good person, Han should still be classified as a good person in the end, since we still hope that good people can find happiness.

Finally, I'd like to ask for more subscriptions. My genre isn't mainstream, and many people are waiting for the book to finish before reading it. The first volume averaged around 1500 subscriptions, but the second volume saw a significant drop. In terms of quality, the second volume definitely surpasses the first. Of course, I know that waiting for a book to finish before reading it is common on Tmall. Fortunately, I don't make a living by writing, otherwise I might have lost my mindset.

Finally... I finished writing one volume and took a day off.

tired.

I need to take the day off tomorrow.

Updates resumed on September 9.13th.

Volume Three: Yes, Condensed Light

Chapter 1: The Liyue Seven Stars consist of six members. [4k]

At 9:50 a.m., Han Fulai was already sitting in the Seven Star Conference Room in Yuehai Pavilion.

Although he had been serving as the Executive Vice Minister of Yue Haiting for two months, this was the first time Han Fulai had attended such an important occasion as the Seven Star Conference.

When it comes to dealing with important figures in Liyue, Han Fulai is quite experienced. Besides being the personal secretary of Gan Yu, the executive secretary-general of Yuehaiting, Ningguang of Tianquan Star is considered his sworn sister, and Keqing of Tianheng Star also subtly regards him, her personal secretary, as a confidant. Furthermore, Yun Huixin, the only daughter of Yuntian of Tianshu Star, also works by his side, and he occasionally gets to meet and chat with Uncle Tian.

In addition, Han Fulai had met with that retired old man Zhongli several times, so he could proudly say that "almost all of Liyue's top management chatted and laughed with me."

However, his official title is still only the deputy director of the Moonlit Pavilion Office, and his administrative rank is lower than that of the head of the Eight Gates of Liyue. In reality, he is not qualified to attend the Seven Stars Meeting. He was able to attend the meeting this time thanks to Keqing's insistence.

In fact, given his contributions in the Battle of Ocel and the Battle of Bazha, a promotion would have been well-deserved. However, he is already the second-in-command in the Liyue civil service, with only Secretary-General Gan Yu above him. Further promotion would mean competing with Gan Yu for the position. Therefore, Han Fulai's position has remained unchanged, only his salary has doubled to 1.6 million Mora per month, making him a "millionaire" now.

Han Fulai sat leaning against Gan Yu, with the inner wall of the conference room behind him and a small square table in front of him, on which were pens, ink, paper, and inkstones for taking meeting minutes. Usually, only Gan Yu, who served as the meeting secretary, had this seat; his seat was one that Gan Yu had just added for him.

There was a large round table in the conference room, and five people were already seated around it. Out of curiosity, Han Fulai was observing the Seven Stars present.

Before he transmigrated, only three of the Liyue Seven Stars had appeared in the game: Ningguang, Keqing, and Tianshu, whom he was familiar with. Han Fulai was a little excited to see the other mysterious Seven Stars.

Among the five Seven Stars, Ke Qing, dressed in her usual purple casual clothes, sat upright at the table, appearing shrewd and capable.

Tian Shu Xing Yun Tian looked lost in thought, his spirits seemingly low, his eyes closed and head bowed, as if he were dozing off.

Tianji Xingrou was dressed in elegant attire, exuding the air of a refined and handsome young man. Seeing Han Fulai scrutinizing him, he returned a friendly smile, a smile that felt like a gentle breeze. Han Fulai felt that if he were a woman, he would melt into his smile.

Jiang Ziyuan, from Kaiyang Star, was a middle-aged man with a clean-shaven face, not even a beard. He wore a magnificent Mondstadt-style suit, exuding a deep and sinister aura. He glanced at Han Fulai and then ignored him.

Song Zutao of Tianxuan Star appears to be a scholar over fifty years old, with gray hair, wearing a long robe, and holding a folding fan. At this moment, he leans back in his chair with his head slightly tilted back, rhythmically tapping the back of his hand with the folding fan, as if he is softly humming a tune from Liyue Opera.

Of the seven seats, the owners of two seats have not yet arrived.

Soon, the conference room door was pushed open again. Ningguang walked slowly into the conference room with her usual elegant steps.

She glanced around the conference room, walked to her seat, and said, "Now that everyone is here and it's about time, let's begin."

"Huh? Everyone's here?" Han Fulai was a little surprised. He asked Gan Yu beside him in a low voice, "That Yao Guang Star hasn't arrived yet."

“The star Yao Guang won’t come.” Gan Yu tapped her chin with the end of her calligraphy brush, seemingly recalling the absent star Yao Guang. “Do you know what the other name for Yao Guang is in the Big Dipper?”

Han Fulai thought for a moment and replied, "Po Jun."

“Yes.” Gan Yu nodded. “The seven stars of Liyue each have their own roles. Yao Guang is in charge of battle formations and is the only one among the seven stars who is more like a soldier than a merchant.”

"So, he's now in command of the Thousand Rock Army?" Han Fulai asked.

“That should be the case, but…” Gan Yu shook his head, “but the current Yao Guangxing resigned from his position as one of the Seven Stars a few years ago for some reasons. He is no longer in the military, and it is said that he is not currently in Liyue Harbor.”

"Huh? Resign?" Han Fulai blinked. So it wasn't just the Rock King Emperor, even some of the Seven Stars wanted to retire early?

“That being said, the other Seven Stars did not accept his resignation. After all, according to tradition, the Star of Yao Guang is inherited by the Li Yue Star Clan, and he is the only successor of the current Li Yue Star Clan, with no one to replace him,” Gan Yu added.

"The Xing Clan?" Han Fulai recalled hearing this term yesterday. "Is it... part of the Qianyan series...?"

“Yes, it’s the Xing Clan, the family that forges the Thousand Rock Sword and the Thousand Rock Spear.” Gan Yu nodded. “The Thousand Rock Army was originally a force spontaneously formed by the Emperor’s followers, dating back to when Liyue Harbor was first built. The Xing Clan was not only the earliest weapon forgers, but also the earliest Thousand Rock Army soldiers.”

"The Thousand Rock Army is dedicated to following in the footsteps of the Geo Archon, vanquishing demons, saving the people, and protecting the peace of Liyue. Their mission is to use themselves as shields to protect their homeland. The Star Clan is among the best of them. You know, the Thousand Rock Sword is incredibly heavy; ordinary people simply cannot lift it, let alone wield it in battle. But for three thousand years, the Star Clan has used the original Thousand Rock Sword of Liyue as their family heirloom, fighting to protect Liyue."

"Oh." Han Fulai nodded slightly. There was very little information about the Xing Clan of Liyue, and this was the first time he had heard Gan Yu say these words. It sounded like the Xing Clan was the family of the founding heroes of Liyue, but although they were the inheritors of the Seven Stars, there seemed to be no legend about them in Liyue Harbor. The three major forging families in Liyue were now the Yun Clan, the Han Clan, and the Kun Clan, and the Xing Clan was not among them.

According to Gan Yu, this Xing Clan descendant is likely quite skilled in martial arts. But why is such a family with a thousand-year history relatively unknown in Liyue Harbor, and why does it want to leave the Seven Stars Council?

Han Fulai thought for a moment and then asked, "What is the reason this descendant of the Xing family is resigning?"

"I don't know the details either. I only heard that some things happened to him, and he became somewhat... disheartened."

Gan Yu shook her head again.

"The current star of the Yao Guang clan is named Xing Han. He is over thirty years old and still unmarried. Alas, with him like this, I wonder if the Xing clan's bloodline can continue properly."

Gan Yu sighed as she spoke. In terms of age, these "children" of Qi Xing were all people Gan Yu had watched grow up... although Gan Yu herself didn't seem to have any right to worry about other people's marriages.

Han Fulai carefully memorized this intelligence. As the Qianyan Army's reform work continued, he might have some interaction with this descendant of the Xing clan in the future.

The Seven Stars present were clearly used to Yao Guang's absence, and the meeting proceeded smoothly and normally. Soon, the topic turned to the Battle of Ba Che.

After reviewing the gains and losses of the Battle of Bacha, Ningguang, as planned, put forward the "Demon God Threat Theory".

Through her speech at the banquet at Qunyu Pavilion the day before yesterday, the "Demonic God Threat Theory" has clearly taken root in people's hearts, affecting the Seven Stars present to varying degrees. Therefore, when Ningguang proposed the plan to build the Liyue Fleet, the Seven Stars other than Keqing did not show any resistance, but simply asked a few more questions about the investment required to build the fleet.

Ningguang's budget seemed to be within the expectations of the Seven Stars, and they didn't raise any objections. Since Inazuma was blocked by the thunderstorm, the demand for shipbuilding at the Liyue Shipyard had dropped sharply, and production capacity had been idle for a long time. Using the idle capacity to build warships wouldn't be a waste. But Ningguang's next words greatly surprised them.

"In addition to the Liyue fleet, I have discussed with Keqing that we also plan to use the Jade Pavilion as an aerial base to create an air force for Liyue, which we will name the 'Air Force'!"

The term "air force" first appeared on the continent of Teyvat.

For millennia, humanity has been unable to reach the skies, and no nation has ever been known to establish an aerial army. Historically, the only entity associated with an "air force" might be the "Relic Hunters" of the ancient kingdom of Kanria, which perished five hundred years ago. But even the "Relic Hunters," designed as killing machines, could only fly at low altitudes, far from the flight altitude of the Jade Pavilion.

The air force that Ningguang mentioned was clearly more than just a group of Thousand Rock Army soldiers being transported to the Qunyu Pavilion.

If Ningguang's suggestion was merely surprising, Keqing's next words made even the Seven Stars restless.

"In order to establish the Liyue Air Force, we have decided to cooperate with the Liyue Sages. We will provide the necessary funds and materials, while the Sages will provide the technology such as mechanical arts and Sage magic to establish the 'Liyue Sage Academy'."

As Ke Qing spoke, she listed out the budget items one by one and explained them to the Seven Stars present.

If Ningguang had made these remarks, it wouldn't have been so surprising. But it was actually Keqing, the main force of the reformist faction who disrespected gods and immortals, who personally proposed cooperating with the immortals!

The seven stars present all had the same thought at the same time—did the sun rise in the west today?

As the leader of the Seven Stars Conservatives, Tian Shu Xing Yun Tian, ​​the oldest among the Seven Stars, couldn't help but look up at "Sister Gan Yu" sitting to the side.

Gan Yu noticed his gaze and nodded slightly.
