He changed Tiwat

To be honest, Ying doesn't think she can do it.

You can't win by just dodging. General Raiden isn't the kind of opponent you can exhaust yourself by dodging all the time... From the very beginning, Ying's win rate was actually 0.

Ying now fully understood this fact.

Similarly, she understood why the divine child wanted her to provoke the "battle before the emperor" and why he was subjecting her to "anti-lightning general training"...

Because she is not the main character.

Ultimately, she was there to "warm up" the crowd; the real protagonist was someone else.

Upon hearing Han Fulai's voice, she already knew who the protagonist was.

Now that the main character has taken the stage, can she leave now...?

No.

of course not.

There are always some people in this world who are born unwilling to be ordinary.

There are always some people who don't want to have regrets in their memories.

Looking back, she has many regrets about this trip to Inazuma.

He failed to save his friends... He failed to avenge his enemies... Now, must he be added to the list of those who "did nothing in the final battle"?

"General Thunder is as powerful as a monster, and cannot be defeated even with all our might, so the traveler wisely chose to retreat..."

—Can such a stain be left on her journey?

Of course not.

Before discussing victory or defeat, shouldn't we first "give it our all"?

Even if fate doesn't give her the lead role, she'll take it for herself!

"Willpower" may not be able to influence reality, and "enlightenment" may be just a joke in the face of absolute power, but how can we know the outcome if we don't try?

The moment she declared her duel, Ying raised her sword with both hands and leaped high into the air.

She poured all her strength into this one strike.

Boundless lightning surged from the bladeless sword, piercing through the ceiling of the castle tower, breaking through all obstacles, and shooting towards the distant sky.

Thunderous roar and lightning flashed—a world-shaking divine thunder!

This is a sword move that Ying and Paimon came up with after studying the flickering light of the sky in the clouds.

The unfinished sword technique is revealed to the world for the first time today.

Wherever the sword light touched, tiny black cracks began to appear.

Although compared to the "Unthinking Strike," the light that Ying unleashed was merely the light of a firefly, incomparable to the radiance of the general's bright moon—she did indeed come close to the "Unthinking Strike" in that instant.

Everyone in the hall will remember for the rest of their lives the brilliant light that Ying shone at that moment.

For the first time, General Thunder's usually calm eyes flickered – since being created by Thunder Movie and given the role of "General," General Thunder sensed "danger" for the first time.

Without a doubt, this was an attack capable of harming or even destroying her.

So the general gave Ying an equal response—she raised her sword again.

With "a single, thoughtless strike," against "a single, thoughtless strike."

But in the next instant, the "Evil Eye" behind General Thunder shone brightly, and a spatial rift suddenly appeared.

Then, the general's figure disappeared.

For the first time in history, General Thunder retreated without a fight in the face of a challenger.

For the first time in history, a challenger rushed out of the castle tower gates with a sword in hand to chase after the "escaping" Raiden General...

"This is the 'Pure Land of One Heart'..."

From arriving at Haege Island on August 15th to today, September 3rd, Han Fulai has spent more than half a month successfully entering this consciousness space.

The "Pure Land of One Heart" that Han Fulai saw in the game and the "Pure Land of One Heart" that Yingmei described were not the same as the "Pure Land of One Heart" that Han Fulai saw. The "Pure Land of One Heart" did not have a high-hanging "red moon" or a vermilion torii gate. Instead, there was only an endless expanse of gray gravel.

The gravel was artificially laid out in a spiral pattern, resembling a series of slowly rotating vortexes when viewed from above, drawing everything around it in—light, shadow, and perhaps even time and space...

In short, everything here seems to be in a state of near "stillness," or one could say, "eternity."

As far as he knew, the wealthy families in Inazuma often laid out a kind of garden landscape called "dry landscape" in their mansions, using sand and stones in the garden to represent the ocean, and the ripples of the sand and stones to represent ocean waves.

If we consider "Pure Land of One Heart" as Lei Yingdian's own residence, then the gray ground he is standing on now should be the "dry landscape" that Lei Yingdian arranged.

In terms of scenery alone, not to mention Qunyu Pavilion and Chenxi Winery, even Gan Yu's little lounge is much more tastefully decorated than this place.

This place reminded Han Fu of the tiny, partitioned rental rooms he used to live in during his days as a corporate slave. It was the same kind of unsightly place. Just imagine, those ridiculous movies have been in places like this for five hundred years—it's hard not to feel repressed…

Of course, the owner of "Pure Land of One Heart," Lei Yingdian, who has been meditating in this boring and oppressive space for five hundred years, doesn't seem to think there's anything wrong with such "scenery."

After all, the "scenery" here is a reflection of her thoughts.

She remained seated cross-legged in the air, looking down at the man before her.

Undeniably, she had always been curious about the successor of the Rock God who had challenged her, especially after discovering that he had survived her "unthinking strike."

Now that she has seen him in person, some of her curiosity has been answered.

"So... you're a 'Descendant' just like her."

In their previous encounter, they were separated by a hundred miles, so Lei Yingdian couldn't see through Han Fulai's true strength. But this was her consciousness space, or rather, her domain, and the power of "Evil Eyes" was also enhanced here.

Through the "Evil Eye" floating behind her head, Lei saw many things—she knew that the person in front of her came from outside the world and was not bound by the fate system "Black Mammoni"; she also knew that this person had not yet reached the realm of a demon god and was still only a "demigod"; of course, there was also the divine power from Heuria, the fairy power of Morax, and the mixed "power of will" on his body.

As Lei Yingdian sized up Han Fulai, Han Fulai also sized up Lei Yingdian, after all, this was his first time meeting this "Seven Rulers of the Mortal World" who controlled Inazuma.

He doesn't have the "Eye of Evil" or the "Combat Power Detector" that can see through other people's strength at a glance; all he can do is make ordinary observations.

—This observation lasted for about two seconds before Han Fulai looked away.

Well, Lei Yingdian's appearance was no different from the Lei Yingdian he knew: purple hair, purple eyes, purple kimono, and long legs in black stockings... In terms of appearance alone, he was quite pleasing to the eye, but his current "perspective" was seriously flawed.

Lei Yingdian was suspended in mid-air. He stood on the ground, and from this angle, he could see not only what he should see, but also what he shouldn't see.

It turns out that the gods of Inazuma also wear "six-foot-long robes"...

—He gained this little bit of useless knowledge.

"Six-foot loincloth" is also known as "loincloth".

The purple kimono that Lei was wearing was not the traditional style of Inazuma. Perhaps because she was a martial artist, her clothes were designed for ease of movement, and the hem of her clothes only reached her thighs... so Han Fulai could see the white fabric underneath.

Of course, in Lei's own opinion, it wouldn't be a problem even if people saw the "six-foot-long vest" in the movie. The name "six-foot-long vest" contains the word "military," which means that this thing was originally a "military uniform."

The Inatsuma samurai have an old saying: "Tighten your loincloth," which means to stand up in the face of danger, and is an expression of the Inatsuma samurai spirit. In ancient times, Inatsuma samurai "went into battle bare-chested," meaning they charged into battle wearing only a loincloth.

Even now, ancient martial arts schools in Inazuma, such as the kendo practitioners of "Meijyoshisui-ryu" and the sumo wrestlers of a certain oni clan from "Arataki-Otemon," still maintain the tradition of training while wearing loincloths.

As the progenitor of the Inazuma samurai, Rai naturally always maintains her "military attire." And as a demon, she doesn't hold any concept of "gender difference"—men and women, aren't they all human? There's nothing shameful about a human being having their underwear seen by a fox, cat, or dog, is there?

But from Han Fulai's perspective, proper negotiations, or even fighting, should not be conducted in a way that involves looking up at someone's panties...

So he hesitated for a few seconds before saying what needed to be said: "If Your Excellency has something to say to me, General, could you please stand on equal footing with me first?"

Lei Movie did not respond or make any move.

Han Fulai sighed inwardly. Indeed, in terms of both status and strength, Lei Yingdian was far superior and naturally wouldn't deign to descend to the mortal realm for him...

He's currently just a "prospective civil servant on Sky Island," still in the public announcement period and not yet officially appointed. He should be humble towards his seniors according to etiquette—back when Lei Yingdian wasn't officially appointed, he wasn't even allowed to sit at the table during the Seven Gods Conference. Besides, they're currently in a hostile relationship, so Lei Yingdian has no reason to be friendly towards him; they might start fighting after just a few words.

Since they're unwilling to come down... then I guess I'll just have to go up myself, right?

So Han Fulai lightly touched the ground with his toes, and the next moment his feet were off the ground, like an astronaut in a space station, slowly floating to a position level with Lei Yingdian's line of sight.

Lei's eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly returned to his usual indifferent expression.

Indeed, the "descendants" are all "people who are equivalent to a world," and many of the "rules" of this world can be broken at will by these people.

This is her "pure land"—call it a "consciousness space," a "manas consciousness," or an "exterior view"... she is the true master of this place.

Logically speaking, everything here—time, space, energy—is controlled by her will; with a thought, she can move mountains and overturn seas, transforming oceans into mulberry fields.

Even the other "Seven Rulers of the Mortal World" must abide by the rules she sets when entering her "Pure Land of One Heart"—for example, she can "prohibit the flow of elemental power in this place in the name of the Manifestation of the Divine Power." Therefore, even demon gods cannot use elemental power in this space.

But this tactic failed against Ying last time, and it failed against Han Fulai this time as well.

However, otherwise, there would be no value in awakening her from her eternal meditation.

Han Fulai was quite used to this floating state; he had seen it all before, in the realm of consciousness.

This is Lei's territory, so he can't move freely. But if he uses a method similar to "making a wish to myself" to utilize "willpower," he can at least maintain a "battle away from home" status—at most, he'll be suppressed and consume more energy.

Moreover, depending on the circumstances, this "away game" can even be turned into a "home game"...

In fact, given his status as both "the successor of the Emperor" and "the Descendant," he could have entered "Ichishin no Sou" by visiting General Raiden in the Castle Keep as "Liyue Ambassador" from the beginning. However, such a conversation would not have been an equal one based on strength and status.

But now, he is confident that he can have a truly equal dialogue with Lei Films, one of the "Seven Rulers of the Mortal World".

His battle with the "Scouts" at the Evil Eye Factory not long ago can be seen as a prelude to this moment.

From this perspective, we should thank the "scattered soldiers" for providing the "experience package".

"Since Your Excellency has given me the opportunity to speak, I suppose you hope that I can answer a few of your questions—but before that, I would also like Your Excellency to answer a few of my questions first, is that alright?" Han Fulai asked.

Lei nodded silently.

"Pure Land of One Heart" is her consciousness space, independent of Teyvat and not monitored by the ley lines, and she has also entrusted the "Heart of God" to the Yae Divine Child... If you want to talk about things that cannot be known by the Sky Isles, "Pure Land of One Heart" is probably the best place to go.

The mere fact that he is a "Descendant" doesn't mean that Ray Movie will look up to him, but he is the successor of the oldest Geo Archon Morax, and he also survived her "Unthinkable Slash". Ray Movie acknowledges that he has the right to speak with him.

If Ying arrives alive at "Ichishin no Sora" after challenging the "General," then Lei's film will also acknowledge that Ying has the right to have a dialogue with him.

As for whether this dialogue is equal, ultimately it will be determined by strength—in any case, no matter what they say, if they cannot bring the content of the dialogue out of "Pure Land of One Heart," then it is equivalent to not saying anything at all.

Han Fulai asked the first question: "Then, General, is it true that the 'Eye Hunting Order' was a policy you issued?"

"Are you... underestimating me a little?" Lei Yingdong's tone was rhetorical, but his voice was completely unwavering. "I know everything about 'Eternity.' The issuance of the 'Eye Hunt Order' was also approved by me. The actions of those Fools have not yet posed a threat to Eternity, otherwise... they would have been eliminated long ago."

Han Fulai nodded in the same calm manner.

Lei Movie's answer was within his expectations; he was just asking to hear Lei Movie confirm it himself.

"Then, the second question," Han Fu said, uttering the key phrase: "'Thousand-Handed, Hundred-Eyed Statue,' whose statue is it?"

He emphasized the word "who".

Lei's expression changed for the first time.

In that instant, her gaze was sharp as a knife, as if she wanted to slit the man's throat and prevent him from asking any more questions.

Han Fulai didn't receive a reply from Lei Yingdian, but he didn't need one anyway, since he already knew the answer.

“That is the statue of the omnipresent god, that is, the ‘Time Ruler’ of Sky Island, Ishtar. Your ‘eternity’ requires Ishtar’s power of time.”

Chapter 194 Thunderous Movies, I'm Your Wall Breaker [4k]

“That is the statue of the omnipresent god, that is, the 'Ruler of Time' of Sky Island, Istaru.”

When Han Fulai said these words, he used a declarative sentence, not a question.

He had seen the changes in Lei's expression just now, and he could now determine the origin of this "thousand-handed, hundred-eyed statue".

Of course, even if Lei Movie doesn't react at all, or deliberately denies it, it won't affect Han Fulai's judgment—when he fired the "bullet" at the "Thousand-Handed and Hundred-Eyed Statue," the "Seed of Time" that Wendy gave him also reacted at the same time.

The shared roots and origins gave him enough confidence to make a judgment.

The description "omnipresent god" has essentially become the exclusive domain of Barbatos, the free wind god, on the continent of Teyvat today.

Adventurers in Mondstadt have a tradition of "not dying in the Windless Lands," believing that wherever the wind can reach, the wind god Barbatos can carry their souls back to their homeland of Mondstadt. The legendary "Windless Lands" and "Sea of ​​Ashes" in Natalya's ...

Barbatos himself, as a wandering bard, also fits the definition of "omnipresent" quite well—this drunkard is much freer than Zhongli in terms of "worldly wanderings," traveling abroad is commonplace for him, and who knows, he might just sneak into a cargo box to visit Inazuma one day...

But three thousand years ago, before the "Seven Rulers of the Earth" system was established, it was not Barbatos who was called the "omnipresent god".

At that time, Barbatos was just a wisp of wind among a thousand winds, a weak wind spirit.

The "omnipresent god" at that time was Ishtar, one of the "Four Primordial Shadows" of Sky Island and one of the four ruling powers.

In the ruins of the Temple of the Thousand Winds in Mondstadt, Wendy once said this to Han Fulai and Yola:

“The ‘Temple of a Thousand Winds’ back then did not enshrine a statue of the wind god, but this ‘clock’. It represents secrets, was born from the branches of time, recorded prosperity and desolation, and witnessed the omnipresent god.”

The omnipresent "thousand winds of time" is the original definition of the "omnipresent god".

Furthermore, long before he came to Inazuma, Wendy had given him a hint: "'Eternity' is a concept closely related to time. Once you touch upon eternity, the concept of time becomes blurred... That's where Ishtar left the most seeds, 'White Night Kingdom,' also in Inazuma."
