Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

Everything that happened, everything that happened, and everything that Teyvat possessed was stored in the World Tree, a great tree that was not visible to mortals but possessed knowledge and authority far exceeding that of many demon gods.

However, the World Tree, lacking its own consciousness, is unable to effectively utilize this power.

But at this moment, the World Tree opened up almost all the permissions it could offer without reservation. With its support, Su Feng had the most perfect foundation to use the power of reason.

He only needs to follow the instructions to use his power.

"Buzz!"

The light, shimmering with pale blue stripes, spread outwards from Su Feng's body, and soon these stripes disappeared into the void where nothing existed.

Su Feng's action seemed to have brought about no change, but after seeing this, Nibelungen began to rein in the abyssal power that was still expanding uncontrollably.

It was clear that Nibelungen had sensed the threat hidden beneath Su Feng's seemingly nonchalant action.

In wars of the Nibelungen scale, the most important thing is never the material level that can be observed by mortals. Beneath the intense clash between the forces of light and the abyss lies the true battle that will ultimately determine the outcome.

The most important thing is to control and modify the rules of the world.

Having obtained the power of reason and with the support of the World Tree, Su Feng was finally able to do this—he was trying to continuously rewrite the world rules that had been gradually rewritten by the Nibelungen.

Having just obtained the Herrscher of Reason core, Su Feng was obviously unable to rewrite the world's rules according to his own ideas, but this did not prevent him from directly copying the rules of Teyvat with the support of the World Tree.

He doesn't need to go to the level of Nibelungen, rewriting the rules and creating loopholes in his powers. It's enough for him to just bring everything back to the Teyvat he knows.

After all, the rules of Teyvat itself also restrict the Abyss to a certain extent, so he will naturally gain a certain advantage.

Most importantly, if he can achieve this, then once his powers are restored, he can at least make up for his previous disadvantages, which at least gives Su Feng time and opportunity to stall for time.

However, it is clear that Nibelungen cannot simply watch Su Feng redirect the rules of the battlefield to his advantage. It is precisely because it needs to reclaim control from Su Feng at the level of rules that it chooses to withdraw some of its power.

After all, Su Feng didn't have this kind of ability before. Back then, it didn't take him much effort to rewrite the rules here, but things are different now.

When someone challenges Him at the rule level, even Him needs to expend more effort to maintain the current situation.

However, Su Feng, who has just gained new power, has a relative advantage with the support of the World Tree.

Moreover, what he needed to do was not rewrite but copy, which was obviously much simpler.

If what is here now is the true form of the Nibelungen, then the advantage that Su Feng possesses is nothing at all.

But this assumption is clearly not valid.

After all, what's here now is just a clone that Nibelungen casually created. He didn't put much power or consciousness into it at all. Under these circumstances, it's not an easy thing to compete with Su Feng for control of the rules.

Just like now, the battle between Su Feng and Nibelungen has begun to take shape. Compared to Nibelungen, which needs to control and change the rules, Su Feng, who only needs to mechanically copy the rules of Teyvat, is naturally the one with the greater advantage.

Therefore, as time went by, Su Feng naturally took away Nibelungen's advantage in terms of rules. And as Teyvat's rules gradually expanded, Su Feng once again increased his power output.

Now that we have the upper hand, we certainly can't let go of the opportunity to kick a man when he's down.

Faced with such a difficult situation, Nibelungen can only once again mobilize more abyssal forces from below to defend itself while looking for new opportunities.

However, now that the situation has reversed, Su Feng's advantage is becoming more and more obvious - the rules of Teyvat itself will limit the power of the Abyss to a certain extent, not to mention that Su Feng is now simultaneously driving all the abilities he can use to launch attacks.

Gale-force winds, thunder, death fog, and gravity raged across the battlefield, and the abyssal power, which had already been suppressed to some extent, was now powerless to resist.

The best news for Nibelungen right now is that he can still get a sufficient supply of Abyssal power; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to maintain his current situation when facing Su Feng's sharp attacks.

Even so, Su Feng still has the ability to wear it down one day. Moreover, Su Feng has no intention of just staying here and wasting time with Nibelungen's clone.

Now that Su Feng has obtained the power of the World Tree and the Law of Reason, he is ready to play some ruthless tricks when facing an opponent who seems to be able to wear him down forever!

For example... bring a few more nails!

Su Feng refused to believe that he couldn't quickly turn the tide after supplying the opposing side with a batch of Sky Nails!

Chapter Thirty: How exactly did you do that?

The Frost Spikes are arguably the most infamous weapon of destruction and punishment used by Sky Isles in the mortal realm.

But in reality, this thing is more like a tool to prevent the world barrier from breaking and to stop the Abyss from continuing to invade. As a creation of the Light Realm, the Frost Spike can suppress and wear down the Abyss Force to a certain extent in Teyvat.

At least the Nails of Frost can transform the Abyss into mud of a lower level and lower danger, which is obviously particularly helpful to Su Feng now.

After all, by downgrading the Abyss Force to a certain extent, Nibelungen could no longer obtain supplies from the Abyss Lake below as continuously as it does now.

From the moment we left until now, at least on a material level, the Nibelungen have been able to disregard their own damage precisely because of this.

The extremely disgusting method of being able to instantly recover as long as there is sufficient Abyssal Power is indeed quite effective against Su Feng.

Previously, Su Feng had no way to deal with this move, so he was tormented to the point of near death. Now that he has finally turned the tide, the first thing he wants to do is to cut off the almost endless supply of Nibelungen.

Constructing a batch of Sky Nails using the power of reason was not a difficult task—with the World Tree as his backing, Su Feng easily found all the structures and blueprints related to Sky Nails from them.

Or rather, the blueprints were placed in the most conspicuous place for Su Feng. In fact, if he hadn't seen these blueprints that were practically delivered to him, Su Feng might not have thought of them at first glance.

It seems these guys have made exceptionally meticulous arrangements, but how exactly did they manage to arrange things so well with Nibelungen, a guy who would never cooperate?

It's impossible to say that there's nothing fishy about this blatant blueprint right under his nose, but that's precisely why Su Feng is so curious about how 'fate' arranged such a massive entity as Nibelungen.

Su Feng didn't believe that Nibelungen, which had almost completely destroyed Teyvat, would so obediently submit to the arrangements of 'fate', nor did he believe that the people on the side of justice could even arrange things for Nibelungen.

If that could be done, Sky Island wouldn't be in such a miserable state now.

But curiosity was something for later. Su Feng quickly put aside his speculation about the hidden story behind these events and focused all his attention on the battlefield at hand.

The conditions for constructing the Sky Spikes are sufficient, but more importantly, it is necessary to replenish these Sky Spikes, which are used to pin down the abyss, with sufficient Light Element Power while constructing them.

Su Feng alone couldn't replenish enough Light Dimension Power to a dozen or even dozens of Sky Nails in a short time. After all, even as a Herrscher, his available energy was limited, and if he did it one by one...

Su Feng didn't think that Nibelungen would just stay put and wait for him to charge up. Although Su Feng had temporarily suppressed Nibelungen with the help of the World Tree, Nibelungen was only slightly at a disadvantage.

It's not like it's dead!

If the opponent were to charge the light spike little by little in front of him, he could definitely launch a surprise attack and charge in a desperate manner—even if he couldn't do anything to Su Feng, he could definitely destroy the light spike that was charging.

Anyway, as long as this body has enough power, it won't die. At most, it will just waste too much power and won't be able to have much of an impact on Su Feng.

As long as the abyss lake below is fine, wasting some power is acceptable; it's better than being defeated.

The reason Nibelungen hasn't done so is that they still want to turn the tide or keep Su Feng here to wear him down. If they really realize there's no hope left, then abandoning such a clone isn't such an important thing.

In any case, the outcome of the battle here has very limited impact on him.

Therefore, the most important thing for Su Feng right now is to find a way to quickly replenish the Light Realm Power while he is creating the Light Nails—luckily, or perhaps thoughtfully, this method has already been arranged.

Red King’s Tomb!

The magnificent spectacle left behind by the Crimson King, used to collect the life energy of the entire desert and transform it into the power of the Light Realm, is now waiting in Teyvat. Before entering the Void Realm, Su Feng even had someone take the Crimson Sand Slab, which was filled with his own power of the Light Realm, to the center of the Crimson King's Tomb.

In other words, all he needs to do now is find a way to allow the light energy that has accumulated in the Crimson King's Tomb for thousands of years to penetrate the vast abyss lake below and replenish the light nails he has created.

This was not a difficult thing for Su Feng at all.

It might not last long, but it wouldn't be difficult for Su Feng to use the power of the Wind Law to create a channel made of an ideal fluid to temporarily block the influence of the Abyss Force. As long as he could construct such a channel and activate the Crimson King's Tomb on the Teyvat side, Su Feng could easily guide a massive amount of Light Dimension Force.

Su Feng wasn't sure about other things, but he was certain that the light energy sent over there would be more than enough to ignite the light nails he had recreated, completely pinning down and destroying the Nibelungen clone in front of him!

This was as if a complete strategy guide had been delivered to him with a single click. After noticing so many 'coincidences' and 'just right' events, Su Feng became increasingly curious about the so-called 'fate'.

How did these guys manage to do this? And what is their purpose?

Furthermore, did the Nibelungs really not notice anything unusual about this?

Su Feng didn't think that the Dragon King, who could corner him with just one clone, was such a simple opponent. Unfortunately, at least for the time being, this question probably wouldn't be answered.

With this in mind, Su Feng activated the power of Wind Law without hesitation. The next moment, violent pure water suddenly appeared beneath his feet and pierced into the deep abyss lake like a sharp knife.

The pure water, composed of an ideal fluid, showed unimaginable resilience in the face of the corrosive abyss. Although the power of the abyss continued to corrode the pure water created by Su Feng, a passage connecting the two worlds gradually appeared beneath his feet after he pushed through the deep abyss, thanks to Su Feng's relentless efforts.

And at the very end of this bottomless passage, a glimmer of light is rapidly appearing.

At the same time, a line of people gradually appeared around Su Feng.

Chapter Thirty-One: Nibelungen Acknowledges Defeat

Light, a vast and powerful light, surged across the boundary like a tide.

The massive interdimensional passage allowed Su Feng to easily guide the light energy preserved within the Crimson King's Tomb, which he had opened from a distance.

The power of light, transformed from the wisdom and energy contributed by everyone in the entire desert and preserved for thousands of years in the relics of the Crimson King, is far more vast and terrifying than Su Feng imagined.

When Su Feng personally guided this power, he was surprised to discover that what was stored in Aru was not only the knowledge and energy collected by the Crimson King, but also hundreds of thousands of souls and... the remnants of the Crimson King.

This former ruler of the four directions of the desert seemed to have foreseen today's events and made considerable preparations for them.

Now, when needed, the amount of light energy that this reserve can generate is so abundant that even Su Feng is surprised.

The only thing that's truly regrettable is that the poor desert people have been toyed with by this guy countless times.

After all, the Abyss of Sumeru was created by Ahmar, and the beautiful golden dreamland of Aru was just a pie in the sky that the other side painted for the entire desert.

Unfortunately, this cake is poisoned.

However, this is actually quite good news for Su Feng now – after all, he no longer needs to worry about not having enough reserves of Light Element Power.

"Buzz!"

Under Su Feng's guidance, the abundant light energy rapidly replenished the newly created Heavenly Nails, and with sufficient light energy, these Heavenly Nails were activated at an extremely fast speed.

The subsequently replicated Sky Nail possessed a remarkably sharp ability to target the Abyss.

After years of entanglement with the Abyss, Sky Island is no longer just taking hits; the Sky Nails they've developed are quite effective against the Abyss.

Under Su Feng's astonished observation, after these Heavenly Nails radiated a power he could not yet comprehend, the abyssal power that was originally filled with terrible pollution and erosion was quickly transformed into highly toxic sludge.

Although it's impossible to completely neutralize it, and the pollution left behind after the abyssal power is transformed is quite troublesome even for gods, it's still much better than the abyss itself.

At least this thing, while still very dangerous, can still be controlled in terms of its harm to the world itself.

However, Su Feng doesn't care much about such things right now. Besides, their battlefield is in the Void Realm. Once they block the passage between the two realms, Su Feng doesn't care how many troubles these remaining dangerous items will cause.

In reality, he didn't have much time to think about so many things right now. The effect of the Heavenly Nail was indeed very good. While restricting the power of the abyss, it was also constantly stabilizing the surrounding environment and rules—of course, guiding them towards rules that were favorable to Su Feng.

This makes it easier for Su Feng to resist the Nibelungen's erosion of this place, and also allows him to unleash more power to deal with the clone in front of him.

"..."

After the numerous celestial nails appeared together, accompanied by a vast amount of light energy that passed through the interdimensional passage to recharge them, Nibelungen suddenly fell silent.

At this moment, he simply stared coldly at Su Feng, as if trying to discover something from Su Feng through this method.

Nibelungen readily admitted that they had lost the battle, given the current situation was clear: unless they committed more resources, the chances of the situation changing were slim.
