He changed Tiwat

Ying accepted the seeds and the power of "life" given to her by her sister, planted the Divine Cherry Tree in her consciousness space, and accomplished the feat of "saving the past from the future".

The Legend of Thunder General quest has ended.

Han Fulai proposed to Ying, asking to marry her kinsman, the goddess, but Ying refused on the spot.

The shadow demanded that he become a being qualified to have a retinue before he could marry the goddess—that is, become a demon god.

That night, the shrine maiden used forty-eight different positions to steal the Shadow Minister in front of the statue at Narukami Shrine.

On September 23, the "Guanghua Rongcai Festival" opened. Han Fulai attended Xingqiu's autograph session and signed on Xingqiu's behalf. His autographed book later became the most valuable autograph of Teacher Zhenyu.

From September 24th to 27th, Han Fulai accompanied Xingqiu to the festival on the outlying island. At the same time, Ying was asked by Xinhai to return to Haegeido Island and enter Yeonhae Palace to help find the "Blood Branch Coral" to suppress the "Sacred Soil Transformation".

From September 28th to October 1st, Han Fulai took the Divine Child to Haiqi Island. Xin Hai and the shrine maiden Lu Zi informed him that the "Haiqi Spirit Festival" had failed, the process of "reversing the transformation of the sacred land" had stalled, and the Yuanxia Palace was shrouded in an unknown black mist. It was necessary to hold the "Three Realms Road Festival" to dispel the black mist.

The Yuanxia Palace quest has begun.

Han Fulai and his group solved many mysteries in Yuanxia Palace, collected the "Resurrection Bridle", and read the "forbidden books" such as "The Past of the Sun and Moon" hidden in Baiye Kingdom. They learned about Orobas' "Prince's Head Offering" plan and some of the truth about the Teyvat world.

Later, Han Fulai discovered the plot of the "Abyss Order" and, through the "Abyss Apostle" Yuan Shang, brought out the "Abyss Prince" Kong. After some conversation, he learned the secrets about the Abyss and the "Seven Transformations of the Serpent." Han Fulai gave the "Oath-Witnessing Eye" to Yingmei, and Yingmei gradually developed feelings for Han Fulai.

In the "Secluded Chamber" of the "Great Sun Imperial Carriage," Han Fulai and others read the message of the ancestor of the divine child, the "Heavenly Messenger," Bai Chen, who "rides the yellow moon horse with golden eyes," from the "Illusion of the Sun's Blaze" mural, and also discovered the secret of "Ancient Flower."

Ying obtained the power hidden in the "Oath-Witnessing Eye" by Orobas, gaining divinity and the water-elemental power of the "Seven Transformations of the Serpent".

Han Fulai liberated all the "Spirits of the Mortal World" in Yuanxia Palace, reversed the "Holy Land Transformation", and used his own divine power to "wash the salt" of Haiqi Island, completely transforming the land of Haiqi Island to make it suitable for cultivation. As a result, he ascended to the divine position of "Salt King Emperor", evolving from "half-god, half-immortal" to "true god, true immortal".

The Yuanxia Palace mission is complete.

From October 2nd to 4th, in order to prepare for Ying's "martial arts contest to find a husband," Han Fulai asked Xingqiu to teach him the martial arts of the Guhua School and went to the "Mental Time Chamber" in the consciousness space for a month (three days in reality) of spear training.

During his cultivation, Han Fulai "enlightened himself in Longchang" and created the "Autumn Spear Technique".

Xingqiu confessed his feelings to Han Fulai and finally received a response. Subsequently, during his "cultivation," Xingqiu swallowed Han Fulai's "remnants of a demon god," which caused him to fall into a deep sleep. As a result, he gained the foundation of immortal power and leaped from "martial arts" to "immortal."

On October 5th, Han Fulai fought Ying and ultimately won, gaining Ying's approval.

On the same day, the Divine Child invited Ying to watch Xavier's film "The Shadow of No Life," guiding Ying to express her true feelings to Han Fu.

That night, in General Lei Dian's "Royal Hot Spring," Han Fulai fought two opponents single-handedly, and all three survived.

The Divine Child arc has ended.

II. Characters in the Plot

Actually, there's not much to say. I've given a very complete portrayal of almost all the characters who appear in the Inazuma arc, to the point that now when I talk about the characters in the story, dozens of names pop into my head...

Overall, the older sisters each have their own merits, and the younger sisters each have their own charm. I'm quite satisfied with the character development in the Inazuma arc.

Speaking purely from personal preference, aside from the main characters like the Divine Child and the Shadow, my favorite characters are the three people whose Divine Eyes were taken away, whom Ayaka took Hikari to meet—Teshima, Kurosawa, and Tsuchimon.

These three characters only appeared once in the early part of the game to demonstrate the consequences of the "Eye Hunt Order" to Ying, and then disappeared without a trace. But in my game, they are given a new mission—"The waves surge in the abyss of the sea, shadows fly amidst the chaotic clouds beside the peaks; I stand alone in this turbid world, burning with righteous indignation and surging with hot blood!"

I think those three are the most passionate characters in the whole series, haha.

Especially when Tsuchimon of "Mingjing Zhishui Liu" carried the plaque to challenge General Raiden, he said: "Boy, the reason I went to fight is... At that time, I poured my whole life into the matter of 'Inazuma's Number One Swordsman'. So, I don't want it to become a lie."

Yes, it has the feel of my favorite cool old man from a shonen manga.

Facing the might of thunder doesn't necessarily require a protagonist model like Wan Ye or Xiao Han; NPC models can be just as cool!

It's worth mentioning that in the Divine Child arc, we pushed out five romantic storylines in one go: Divine Child, Shadow, Xingqiu, Yingmei, and also Xinhai, which set a record for romantic storylines in this book—theoretically, it will be impossible for so many romantic storylines to run in parallel in a single chapter in the future.

Well, this is the power of the divine child. The fox spirit is Inazuma's "god of marriage," so if you win over the fox spirit priest, you'll never lack girls, haha.

III. Miscellaneous Writings

I have to complain about the review process here.

Do you know what "a troublesome little devil" means? The moderators at Cat Station are just such "little devils".

Cat Station outsources its review process, and nobody knows where these people were hired from (maybe even the female boxer is among them). The biggest problem with these people is that "the punishment is unpredictable, so their power is unfathomable." They don't have any "standards" and they ban you based on their mood.

Readers should know what kind of style the original author, Huanle Wuke, was. Even if they don't, they should know what it means to "have a side job" by flipping through a few of Tao Wen's novels or reading a few books about simulators and NPCs.

I've always written in a more restrained style than other authors, but the more I comply, the more these guys take advantage of me.

As you know, two chapters of the Inazuma arc were recently banned, and if you include those that were banned and then reinstated, there are actually more.

And the reasons for banning are all sorts of bizarre. What's going on? Was Cat Station acquired by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or are there Yui fans acting as moderators?

In addition, they never give you a clear reason for banning you. They just send you a message in the backend telling you which part was banned, why it was banned, and how to change it. You, the author, have to "guess what the superiors mean."

It's fine if I just ponder it; it just means I'll revise it a few more times, right? No problem, I can tolerate that.

However, they will deliberately annoy you—for example, the recently banned chapter 384. They banned it at 11 a.m., and I finished revising it at 2 p.m. and sent it back, but they won't read it.

Then, at 6:30 pm on Friday, after the weekend when everyone's off work, they'll find you another ban.

You ask them, "Why don't you just say everything you think is wrong?" Well, they just won't!

After banning you, they freeze your application for review, which is clearly saying, "I'm going to ban you for at least three days, and I'll ban you again on Monday depending on my mood."

Pay attention to the time.jpg

Furthermore, you should know that my writing style places great emphasis on foreshadowing and echoing. For example, if I describe watching a movie earlier, then that movie will later serve to drive the emotions in the story. If I describe being drunk earlier, then something else definitely needs to happen while I'm drunk. The degree to which a character's emotions are developed, and when they act, are all carefully considered.

The descriptions I use are definitely the ones that best fit the mood and atmosphere of the scene I designed. For example, if I use a poem, it must be the one that I think best matches the mood and atmosphere of the current scene. If Chu Nan bans it like this, I have to change it, and the mood and atmosphere of the new one will definitely not be as good as the original.

Furthermore, if even the content we've written has to be banned, then Dream of the Red Chamber and Journey to the West must be too explicit, since both of them explicitly mention organ names. Water Margin is even more explicit and violent... With Chu Nan's level of censorship, he's only fit to read a comic book version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

I used to work as an editor for print magazines and online novel platforms, and I've read quite a few works from other sites. I'm familiar with the content's standards. Our content is perfectly acceptable for print book publication (honestly, Mo Yan and Yu Hua's standards are much higher than ours). But when the censors in Chu Nan see it, they'll just go "oh ho ho ho"...

I'll send a poem, "Qinyuanchun," to the reviewers. They'll read this summary anyway, so I'll push them to read it several times, ideally memorizing the whole thing. Understanding the allusions in the poem will improve their cultural literacy.

The book is sealed with insects, the silk on the Lu wall is broken, and the Qin torch remains a tragedy.

Laughing at the silkworms cutting words, pigs and hogs hiding their secrets; the key to the Imperial Archives, the axe of Ying withering the chapters.

The Xia tripods are covered in dust, the Zhou bronze vessels are buried in the earth; who can distinguish the jade tablets from the chaff?

The young scholar weeps, though the leather thongs of his books break three times, his grief remains in vain!

It's a pity that such a rat has no eyes.

Sighing, the insect-like creature in its crown and robes sits in the jade hall.

It is said that Qu Yuan's fragrant herbs have all become obscene history; Su Dongpo's iron plates are all related to his eccentricity.

A blind fool, he burns his zither and boils his crane; ten thousand scrolls of fine silk are thrown into the boiling cauldron.

With the strings glued together, I ask Boya, who broke the tuning pegs, if he could still discern the musical scale.

Finally, here's a preview of the Sumeru chapter:

"No matter how hard life is, we must not let our children suffer; no matter how poor we are, we must not neglect education!"

"When a lion roars, even the sun trembles. The moment I first saw you, I knew there was a lion in your eyes!"

“Those things that should be burned will turn to ashes, and all the precious things that should be preserved will be revealed.”

"Use Flame Fist on him, Desia!"

Volume 7, "Yes, Grass God"

Chapter One: The Minister of the Interior's Work

Busy with many things to do, Han Fulai had a rare "honeymoon" in Daoqi.

Although he had to work at the shogunate during the day and "work overtime" in the Ōoku at night during this "honeymoon," he did it willingly.

Of course, to outsiders, it was clear that Minister Han was working tirelessly day and night for the sake of the people of Inazuma, often staying up late into the night in the castle tower's storage room. Yaedo published a special article titled "The Minister of the Interior's Work," which described Minister Han's work.

This article was later selected as teaching material for Inazuma's private school and became required reading for Inazuma students.

The people of Inazuma praised the South Korean minister who implemented the "School System Ordinance" and carried out "compulsory national education" in Inazuma.

However, few people know the story behind "The Minister of the Interior's Work".

The previous shogun, Raiden Shin, once attempted to establish a university modeled after the Sumeru Kyoryoin, hoping to change the situation in Inazuma where only descendants of samurai could enter the "military strategy dojo" to learn cultural knowledge. However, due to frequent wars in Inazuma and opposition from samurai hatamoto, this plan to build a university throughout Inazuma was eventually shelved.

The existing school dormitory was converted into a university dormitory, dedicated to training reserve officials for the shogunate, and became a noble educational institution that only admitted students from within the shogunate.

The university dormitory has four departments: literature, law, mathematics, and medicine. Each department admits a maximum of twenty students per year. Students are assigned to various departments of the shogunate based on their academic performance. The teachers in the dormitory are also shogunate officials. Their titles are modeled after the academic titles of the Kyoryoin (Kyoryoin Academy) and are translated as Doctor of each department, such as "Doctor of Literature" and "Doctor of Law".

That article, "The Work of the Minister of the Interior," was written by a PhD in writing from a university dormitory.

After the Inazuma civil war ended, the shogun initiated the Meiji Restoration. Minister of the Interior Han Bok-rae oversaw numerous reform projects, one of which was to promote university education among the people of Inazuma.

In the past, ordinary people in Inazuma rarely had the opportunity to receive education, and the overall literacy rate was far lower than that in Mondstadt and Liyue. Since ordinary people could not take exams or advance in their careers even if they were literate, the idea that "studying is useless" was a common understanding among the lower classes of Inazuma.

Most Inatsume people, such as farmers in Konta Village or residents of castle towns, basically only went to a private school or a dojo run by a kind samurai when they were young to learn to read and write their own names, understand the notices posted by the shogunate, and calculate daily accounts. That was pretty much considered "educated".

If ordinary people want to "advanceive" in culture, the only option is to go abroad—for example, like Shinobu Hisaki, to study at the same literary academy in Liyue as an international student. As for the Sumeru Academy... given the average education level of the Inazuma people, it is indeed very difficult for anyone to get in.

Compared to Narukami Island, Umijima Island has done a better job in promoting education.

The priestesses of the Coral Palace hold free schools within the palace every month, teaching the sea people cultural knowledge and skills needed for farming and fishing. It is because of this that Goro and other rebel leaders were able to decipher the thick "secret pouch" distributed by the Heart Sea...

Feeling concerned about the low level of education in Inazuma, Minister Han established a Ministry of Education (Bureau of Education) in the style of the shogunate when he presided over the reform of education in Inazuma. He placed the university dormitory under the management of the Ministry of Education and began to prepare to recruit students from the Inazuma community.

According to the article, the PhD in the article stated that he went to the Tenshukaku (castle tower) at midnight to deliver the first draft of the "Education System Ordinance" that he was responsible for drafting to the renowned Minister of Han.

As the shogun's residence, the castle tower has always been known for its luxury, but Minister Han's office was extremely simple, with just a filing cabinet, a long desk, a lamp, and two chairs.

Upon entering the office, he found the renowned Minister Han behind a stack of documents over a foot high. He hurriedly tried to bow, but Minister Han kindly stopped him, simply pointing to the pile of documents and telling him that these were the documents that needed to be approved that evening, and that the one he had brought should be processed last, in order.

Minister Han invited him to take a nap in the lounge, and said that he would be sent to consult with someone if needed.

The guards on duty led the Dr. Wen to the lounge, where he lay down fully clothed and slept soundly until the third watch of the morning when the guards woke him up.

When he re-entered the office, he found that the oil lamp on Minister Han's desk had burned out, and the pile of documents, a foot high, had been moved from the left to the right. The Thunder God's retainer, Yae no Uta, who had arrived early at the castle tower to prepare for the court assembly, rose from his seat and left, seemingly having just finished a discussion. Minister Han, looking tired, rubbed his back and invited him to sit down, accompanying him to review the document.

Minister Han reviewed the documents very carefully. He did not skim through them, but pondered as he read, leaving comments on the documents from time to time, sometimes pausing to think, and occasionally asking a question or two.

The lengthy review lasted for nearly 45 minutes before it came to an end. The guards brought in two cups of hot tea and a plate of snacks, and Minister Han invited him to stay and enjoy the tea and snacks together.

After drinking tea for a while, the morning bell in the castle tower rang. Minister Han smiled apologetically at the scholar, saying that he needed to get ready to go to the palace for a meeting.

Dr. Wenzhang hurriedly stood up, but due to drowsiness, he accidentally knocked over his chair, making a loud noise.

Minister Han naturally came over to help him lift the chair, without any sense of blame. Instead, he gently advised him to go back and rest.

Moved by witnessing Minister Han's hard work throughout the night, Dr. Wen wrote the timeless masterpiece, "The Work of the Minister of the Interior."

However, the truth is that with the document processing speed that Han Fulai honed at Yuehaiting, a document that is only a foot high can be processed in an hour at most, and it doesn't take a whole night at all.

While the PhD student was dozing off in the lounge, the editor-in-chief of "Yajedo" silently slipped into Han Fulai's office using his "divine speed" and placed a jade tablet on his desk.

The jade plaque bears an inscription by Han Fulai, titled "Imperial Poem."

Inazuma Tenshou's nine-layered castle stands tall, and the imperial road and floating bridge stretch for ten thousand miles.

The carved beams of the laurel-covered doors are connected by brocade wings, and the rainbow-colored beams and embroidered pillars reflect the vermilion pillars.

In February, we met at Sangjin, and in the third month of spring, we followed each other along the Qi River.

Two butterflies flutter among the orchid bushes, while a warbling oriole hides among the willow leaves, uninteresting.

Her delicate makeup, visible behind the fan, blends with the night; she dances alone in the wind, sharing the glory of the flowers.

Two hairpins worth a million, who cares about the price? A smile worth a thousand pieces of gold is too light a bargain.

I did not come to serve you for the sake of the painting, nor did I come because the master offered himself to me.

The sheep-drawn carriage fears not the closed gates; tonight, the rabbit-moon shines upon the jade courtyard.

Yes, this means that the General has chosen Han Fulai.

...Although the general only has this one plaque, and he flips over it almost every night, the "sense of ritual" is very important.

The Minister of the Interior of the Inazuma Shogunate indeed worked very hard that night to serve the Shogun in bed.

Chapter Two: The "Transoceanic Telephone" from Mondstadt

Inazuma's "Meiji Restoration" involved numerous tasks, and even with Han Fulai's abilities and the concerted efforts of Ayato and other shogunate officials, they could only get the various reforms on track in two months.

Even disregarding his feelings for the Divine Child and the Shadow, and focusing solely on official business, Han Fulai originally intended to stay in Inazuma a little longer... However, an unexpected letter prompted him to end his trip to Inazuma early and return to Liyue immediately.

This message did not originate from Liyue, but from the "Starry Wings" that Venti had given him.

The wind god of Mondstadt made him an "overseas call" via "Starry Wings".

When Han Fulai first received this "overseas call," he was very apprehensive—anything that could make that perpetually drunkard call him must be something important!

His first thought was Yura... Could it be that Yura had run into some trouble, which is why Wendy specifically came to inform him?

Perhaps because such "overseas calls" are very taxing on one's energy, Wendy unusually kept the conversation brief.
