Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

"what!!!!"

When the Heavenly Nail appeared in the city of Gül, Ilmin, feeling this familiar yet painful power, roared furiously. The king, who had been almost completely corrupted by the abyss, surprisingly expressed a little bit of his true self through unimaginable rage.

It seems that Irmmin's anger toward Skye Island is beyond imagination.

However, Su Feng remained indifferent to the anger that Su Feng suddenly displayed. He fiercely smashed the Heavenly Nail in his hand into the waterfall-like spatial rift.

The enormous and powerful celestial nail transformed into the most terrifying spear, slamming fiercely into the spatial rift that Ilmin had created.

"Crack!"

Su Feng displayed his aggressiveness, and Irming, provoked by the Heavenly Nail, also mobilized more abyssal power in his endless rage to start impacting the surrounding space. Under this seemingly reckless impact, even the space that should have been solid emitted a brittle cracking sound.

More and larger amounts of abyssal power entered this small space under Ilmin's reckless release, and in the next instant, this surging abyssal power was directly transformed into highly poisonous sludge by the Heavenly Nail.

But Ilmin didn't care about this loss. He unleashed even more power as if he didn't care about any losses. Since one part of the Abyss Power was not enough to break through the Heavenly Nail's blockade, he would take out ten or even a hundred parts of the power to overwhelm the Heavenly Nail!

Even the most powerful artifacts have their limits. A mere Heavenly Nail is not enough to force him to retreat. Now that Ilmin's anger has been ignited, he is willing to pay a heavy price to defeat his 'enemy'.

"What a crazy guy!"

Su Feng naturally noticed Ilmin's madness, and he couldn't help but shake his head—as expected, anyone who gets infected by the Abyss will become somewhat brain-damaged. If Ilmin's mind were normal now, he wouldn't be wasting his power so recklessly.

Unfortunately, the influence of the Abyss is too great. However, Ilmin's lack of brains is not a bad thing for Su Feng. This time, he might as well put in more effort to let this one-eyed king have a good 'rest'.

Thinking of this, Su Feng ignored the Heavenly Nail that was locked in a stalemate with Ilmin and began to cultivate an even stronger power within his body. Ilmin, who was focused entirely on fighting the Heavenly Nail, naturally did not notice Su Feng's little actions.

When Su Feng finally stopped concealing his actions, Irming also had no time to react.

Because the next moment... a dazzling golden light instantly enveloped the entire city of Gül.

Chapter Twelve: Celestial Stars

After Su Feng obtained the power of the Law of Reason and Narcida's help from the World Tree, he thought about how he could use this authority better—gradually using the power of the Law of Reason to replicate the rules belonging to Teyvat in the World Tree was naturally something he had to do.

After all, if this aspect is handled well, Su Feng might be able to use the power of the Law of Reason to build a Teyvat from scratch in the future—provided it takes a long time and an immeasurable amount of energy.

Even so, it is still a terrifying thing—it is the power to create a world. Even if all Su Feng could do is to replicate a world exactly the same as the current Teyvat in terms of rules, it would still be considered great.

But that is also the power that creates the world!

However, reaching that point will certainly be a long process, and its effect on facing powerful enemies at this stage is not very obvious—Nibelungen was at most an accident at that time.

The main reason is that Nibelungen only left behind a sliver of consciousness; otherwise, Su Feng's current mechanical method of replicating the rules would be no match for Nibelungen.

Therefore, Su Feng needed to find a better way to utilize the power of reason and law—and then Su Feng made a small but interesting discovery.

The signature move of Morax, the Rock King.

As the oldest, most mysterious, and most powerful of the Seven Gods, Morax possesses immense power. Even in Liyue, which gathered the most Demon Gods during the Demon God War, few Demon Gods could withstand a single rock spear that fell from the sky from Morax.

Of course, although the Rock Spear is Morax's most famous move among the many demon gods, and even most people in the world believe that the rock spear that falls from the sky like a mountain is Morax's ultimate technique.

But that's because there aren't many people who have actually seen the falling celestial star. After all, most of the time, Morax's opponents couldn't even withstand a single rock spear. How could such weak opponents allow Morax to unleash his ultimate technique?

It is precisely because of this that few people in the world know about the celestial star that Morax brought down, a star powerful enough to transform and solidify everything in the world.

However, Su Feng, who was searching for a way to use the power of reason within the World Tree, found this thing—although the replica wasn't perfect, Su Feng still managed to replicate Morax's true ultimate technique.

Now is the time for Su Feng to demonstrate the results of his studies.

......

Although Ilmin has become somewhat dull and foolish due to the corruption of the abyss, this does not mean that he is a complete idiot who cannot even sense danger.

In fact, when Su Feng's power and will tore through space, and when the celestial star, radiating a unique light force, slowly squeezed into the gap in the mortal world, Ilmin already felt a tremendous threat.

The meteor that Morax brought down was no ordinary meteor.

In reality, the so-called celestial star descending to earth is more like using unimaginable power to recreate a scene from his past memories in the mortal world—although this sounds even more outrageous, this is indeed the principle behind Morax's terrifying technique.

So when did Morax recreate those scenes and memories?

After finding the answer in the World Tree, Su Feng felt it was even more outrageous.

Because what it replicates is the scene of the chariot carrying the sun falling from the sky during the great war that once overturned heaven and earth!

Yes, the so-called Tianxing is actually a replica of the process of the tall chariot falling from the sky in Zhongli's memory, and Tianxing is also a simplified version of that tall chariot to a certain extent - after all, it is too difficult to replicate the essence of that tall chariot, and Morax does not think that anyone can withstand the attack of that tall chariot falling down.

Even now, after being simplified to the Celestial Star, the impact of this attack is still extremely terrifying. Few people in the mortal world can withstand this attack, so using this move is enough if you are facing an enemy.

In particular, the falling Tianxing actually replicated some of the essence of the original high-speed train to a certain extent, which meant that Tianxing possessed more than just impact force.

"Buzz!"

Despite Irming's best efforts to mobilize more power to build a defensive line, Su Feng's speed in smashing down Tianxing was simply too fast.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the celestial star crashed directly into the city of Juer, and as the star fell, a dazzling golden light enveloped everything in an instant.

The noble essence originating from the high carriage began to reveal itself in the mortal world. This nobility, which was not tolerated by the mortal world, instantly began to react with everything around it. The violent churning power of the rice froze everything around it.

Endless fragments of rock element began to appear in the air, and the elements and the abyss itself began to be transformed and solidified into pure rock.

Devour, transform, condense, and then devour again...

The golden light, which was not tolerated by the mortal world, began to react wildly as soon as it fell. Even the deepest abyss could only barely leave some residue in it after it was transformed into rock, but it was also bound in solid rock.

"arrr!!!"

Painful howls escaped from Ilmin's mouth. Even the monster, which had gradually lost its sense of self, felt intense pain at this moment. Although what Su Feng had taken out was not the real chariot that was suspended high in the sky and illuminated the whole world, the fact that it was only a small replica and similarity still brought unimaginable power.

The power of the abyss is being constantly devoured and solidified. Endless broken rocks begin to cover everything in sight. Even the one-eyed king cannot resist this powerful essence. His power is being constantly eroded and solidified by the celestial stars. This erosion brought about by the noble essence that is enough to solidify the abyss is something that even Ilmin cannot stop.

However, Su Feng did not relax because he knew that a single Heavenly Star could not possibly solve the problem of Irming.

While Tianxing is powerful, it ultimately only uses memories and power to replicate and degrade the fallen Gaoche. If the real Gaoche had fallen here, it could at least create another Layered Rock Abyss—or rather, the Layered Rock Abyss filled with various ores and glass is itself a relic left behind after the Gaoche fell.

However, Su Feng had already prepared for this. As the spreading celestial stars continuously transformed the surging abyssal power into rocks, Su Feng immediately seized the opportunity—after losing the concealment of the surging abyss, the spatial rift opened by Ilmin appeared before Su Feng's eyes.

At this moment, Su Feng also noticed that Irming was preparing to retreat.

Realizing this, Su Feng suddenly pulled up the Heavenly Nail that had been trapped by the Abyss Force, then raised the Heavenly Nail, which was completely disproportionate to his body, and threw it directly at the shrinking spatial rift.

"boom!"

The next moment, the Heavenly Nail, once again replenished with the power of the Light Realm, was pierced fiercely into the spatial rift. At the same time, the surging power of the Light Realm erupted suddenly under Su Feng's command, and just in time, the space that had been torn apart was healed after the power was removed.

Chapter Thirteen: What kind of tile is this?

The city of Gül was completely destroyed.

After massive abyssal erosion, particle-level disintegration, the penetration of the celestial nails, and the fall of the celestial star, this miracle built by mortals was utterly destroyed—which is probably only to be expected.

Under such repeated attacks, how could a mere city built by mortals possibly survive?

Fortunately, no one in Juer City really cares anymore, so it's fine if it gets smashed. Anyway, no one will come to Su Feng for compensation, so Su Feng doesn't have any particular thoughts about smashing Juer City.

Of course, this is on the premise that the scholars of the Academy of Teachings don't find out, otherwise if they knew that Su Feng had destroyed such an ancient city with immeasurable value, they probably wouldn't have peace of mind in the future.

Those scholars were always a bit stubborn.

In short, after resolving the issues in Juer City, Su Feng decisively left this already crumbling space.

"Phew~ I'm finally back!"

As Su Feng returned to the Thousand Ravines Sandy Land, a ball of green light floated out of his body, and then Nasita and Lilupal's bottles fell out of the light.

Upon seeing this, Su Feng casually scooped Naxida back into his arms.

"The problem in Gül City should have been resolved—after such a battle, the collapse of Gül City was certain. Now that Gül City has been destroyed, the springboard for advancing into the Abyss is naturally gone."

"I'll repair the world barrier here again later, and then there shouldn't be any problems."

After lifting Nasita up in his arms, Su Feng carefully observed the surroundings and then gave his own assessment.

"It seems there shouldn't be any problems here in the Thousand Valleys Sandy Land."

After receiving Su Feng's affirmation, Naxida couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, when she thought about the situation in the desolate desert next door, she couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. The situation there might be even more complicated than that in the Thousand Ravines Sandy Land. Just thinking about dealing with the possible situations there made Naxida feel like she wanted to give up and quit her godhood.

Unfortunately, such a slacking-off attitude is impossible for her.

As a deity of Mount Sumeru, if the calamity of the abyss were to descend upon this land again, she would naturally be duty-bound to help. Thinking of this, Nasita couldn't help but look at Su Feng, who was holding her, with pitiful eyes.

Since you can't solve it yourself, you should naturally look to your own 'sun' to solve it!

"..."

"Don't worry, I'll help you."

Seeing Nasita's pitiful state, Su Feng felt quite helpless. To be honest, the series of terrible situations that had plagued Sumeru had left him numb. If it weren't for Nasita and the Great Tree King, he would have quit long ago.

Of course, if there's a chance to confront the Abyss, he'll still do so, since the conflict between imaginary numbers and quantum mechanics makes it impossible for him to coexist peacefully with the Abyss.

"Thank you so much! I don't know what kind of situation I would have been in during this time if it weren't for you!"

After receiving Su Feng's affirmative answer, Naxida became much more lively. However, she also expressed her gratitude to Su Feng very sincerely, after all, Su Feng had helped Xumi and her so much.

Even though she had already given herself away, Nasita still felt indebted to Su Feng, since Su Feng had saved Sumi and Nasita more than once or twice.

"Although the power of mortals is not yet fully available, I have sensed a familiar presence. Perhaps we can send her ahead to scout ahead?"

While gently rubbing Nasita's little head, Su Feng suddenly spoke up. Nasita was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but she quickly realized who was the person she was paying special attention to.

"So it's Ying... But I remember Ying was asked to help the Lannaros before, how come she's appeared in the desert so soon?"

"Could it be that the matter with Lanaro has already been resolved?"

Nasita quickly found out who Su Feng was talking about, but after sensing Ying's aura, she couldn't help but wonder. After all, she had asked Ying to help the Lanaruo solve some remaining problems. Could Ying have solved all the problems for the Lanaruo so quickly?

If Nasita remembers correctly, those seemingly cute and fragile little creatures left behind countless seals of all sizes in the rainforest. If Ying has resolved all the problems so quickly...

What kind of liver god is this?

"Let's stop speculating here. Since Ying has already appeared in the desert, and it seems she's heading towards the desolate wasteland, let's go find her together."

"You can also ask the Lannaros how they are doing now."

Compared to Nasita, whose forehead was covered in doubt, Su Feng was much more straightforward. Since Ying had already appeared here, it was obvious that Ying had solved most of the problems that the little guys on Lanaro couldn't handle. Su Feng was quite confident about this, after all, Ying had been quite serious and hardworking after accepting the commission.

At least that much is beyond doubt.

"That's right, let's go say hello to Ying first!"

If Narcida's feelings for Su Feng were based on trust and reliance, then her feelings for Ying were based on gratitude and faith. After all, Ying had indeed given Sumi a lot of help before, and had even worked with Elhesen and others to try to rescue Narcida.
