Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

"It's probably going to be very difficult to lure Him out."

Su Chen had already given up hope.

Ausel's cunning was beyond expectations, and the suicide actions of those unknown demon gods had further enhanced the fearsome reputation of Rock King Morax. Originally, Su Chen had planned to use the advantage of the sea to boost Ausel's confidence, but now it seemed that the possibility was very small.

Oser's powers are related to water, so he should be stronger in the sea. He should be more powerful than those landlubbers, right?

However, Zhongli is completely unreasonable. He is like a star falling from the sea, and he is invincible with a rock spear. Even if Oser is confident, he is probably thinking about whether to ascend the throne or go to his grave after taking action.

Osel: Brothers, get ready! There's an old Rock King in the sea.

Fortunately, Su Chen did not make a move, which gave the other demon gods the illusion that 'only Morax is here'.

Thinking this, Su Chen turned his head and laughed, "Why don't you stay on land and play with your Yaksha friends?"

“They all have their own tasks.” Fanan kicked his back and said, “Yingda, Minu, and Fushe all have tasks assigned by the Rock King Emperor. Jinpeng is always interfering in Guili Village... Oh, I’m not being lazy. I just saw you come out alone. After all, you are our Human Emperor. You should have someone with you, right? Look at the Rock King Emperor, he brought so many immortals with him.”

Su Chen chuckled: "Those immortals were invited by me in the first place."

"I don't care, whatever the Rock King Emperor has, our Human Emperor must have too."

What should I look for when I go out?

It's about prestige.

She, Fanan, was at least a Yaksha, so standing next to the Human Emperor was quite prestigious, wasn't it?

"I can't compare to Zhongli," Su Chen said slowly, looking up at the somewhat gloomy sky.

Fa Nan turned his head away.

She noticed that Su Chen had been constantly expressing his feelings lately, and he seemed to have a strange sense of urgency.

Liyue is getting better and better, and the people of Liyue are getting better and better, so I don't understand what they're worried about.

“Anyway, in our hearts, you are no less than the Geo Archon.” Fanan said, “Look at Liyue Harbor now, and Guili Village has also been rebuilt. Apart from those reckless guys who keep coming to harass us, Liyue is much better than before.”

"Well... I'm just worried that conquering a country is easy, but maintaining it is much harder."

"Hey, with you here, what's there to be afraid of?"

Su Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and he remained silent.

Fa Nan paused for a moment, then suddenly felt a little flustered.

Before she could say anything, Su Chen turned around and smiled, "Yes, I'm here, what's there to be afraid of?"

“Yes, yes…” Fa Nan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. “Anyway, it’s better than before, right? When you came to me, the Ji tribe was just a small tribe…”

When the topic turned to the past, Fa Nan immediately started talking non-stop.

Water Yaksha is a lively person. Among all the Yakshas, ​​she has the best relationship with Yingda. Although they are clearly incompatible, the two sisters get along surprisingly well.

But a Yaksha is a Yaksha, born warlike, easily consumed by karma, and eventually driven mad and irrational.

Even in Liyue now, Su Chen had a premonition that if things continued as they were, the fate of the Five Yakshas would likely remain unchanged.

This is also a certain inevitability in simulations.

Of course, as the initiator of the simulation, Su Chen has the ability to change this outcome.

"It's difficult to cut down."

Su Chen interrupted the enthusiastic girl, "I will teach you a supernatural power."

Fa Nan was taken aback: "What?"

Su Chen reached out and gently tapped her forehead.

The art of prophecy can make one wise, intelligent, and alert.

Su Chen incorporated the will of the Human Emperor template into the Prophet and then passed it on to Fanan to suppress the karmic obstacles on Yaksha. That should be enough.

"Practice more often, and avoid being impatient or angry, understand?" Su Chen instructed.

Fanan touched his forehead: "This is..."

Su Chen chuckled: "Good stuff."

"Oh."

Fanan lowered his head, silently responded, and then laughed.

...

[In the 46th year of the Xuanyuan Calendar, two years of war against the sea fog rendered the coastal areas near Liyue Harbor impervious to any sea beasts.]

[You returned to land and passed on the art of prophecy to Jinpeng and the others, hoping they would remain clear-headed in the years to come and not be corrupted by karmic obstacles.]

[In the fiftieth year of the Xuanyuan Calendar, the situation in Liyue was about to stabilize. You established the Seven Stars to govern Liyue, and under them, the Eight Gates to oversee various industries and fields. The following year, you ordered the establishment of schools, implemented compulsory education, and selected talent through the 'Imperial Examination' system.]

In the 54th year of the Xuanyuan Calendar, Liyue Harbor and Guili Village held their first Lantern Festival, and the entire nation of Liyue celebrated.

"The Lantern Festival... How did I come up with such a festival?"

In the pavilion inside the Emperor's Palace, Zhongli and Su Chen sat facing each other and chatted.

After taking a sip of wine, Zhongli mentioned the Lantern Festival.

The entire Liyue Harbor is currently preparing for the upcoming festival.

The same thing happened in Guili Town; at the Emperor's command, the entire Liyue region was on the run.

Su Chen smiled faintly: "It's just a holiday. People always need days worth commemorating. Let's relax and reflect on the past. If we only know how to rush forward and don't care about anything else, we will eventually forget who we are."

"In fact, the same applies to running schools. It enables future generations to learn to read, understand etiquette, and learn the wisdom and virtues of their predecessors. This is an essential way of passing on knowledge to humankind."

"Commemoration and inheritance, huh... I see."

Zhongli nodded slightly. After all, he was a demon god, and at this stage, he didn't really understand humans very well.

But humans are indeed beings with infinite possibilities. They are intelligent, brave, strong, and have a strong thirst for knowledge, exploring in the darkness and growing through exploration.

Human lifespan is too short, and if this growth is not passed down, it will be interrupted and lose its meaning.

Zhongli had gradually come to understand these things over the years he spent interacting with humans.

He then realized the carelessness of Su Chen's actions.

"Is there still no news from Ausel?" Su Chen asked.

"Not yet." Zhongli shook his head. "Don't worry, if He appears, I will know."

It's normal for wars between demons and gods to last for decades or even centuries.

To be honest, the recent suppression of demons has been quite strenuous for Zhongli.

In the past, he certainly wouldn't have been in such a hurry.

Looking back now, Su Chen seems to have a sense of urgency in his recent actions.

Even Fa Nan could sense this, so how could Zhong Li not?

"Your body..."

Zhong Li's mind raced, and she suddenly remembered Su Chen's identity as a human.

By calculation, Su Chen is already seventy-six years old.

In this day and age, most people would have been buried long ago.

But Su Chen doesn't look much different from when he was young.

However, appearances can be deceiving, but changes in one's inner aura can still be sensed by someone of Zhongli's level.

"It's nothing," Su Chen chuckled. "I'm perfectly fine. I still need to drink with you every day, don't I?"

Zhongli stared at the wine cup in his hand, then suddenly put it down, flicked his wrist, and the wine on the table turned into tea.

"I've been getting bored with drinking lately."

After speaking, she looked up and saw Su Chen's slightly surprised expression, then added, "This tea is good; Ge Chen picked it from the mountains and brewed it."

"also."

Su Chen shrugged. Drinking tea or wine made no difference to him.

...

The Lantern Festival was an exceptionally grand celebration, and as the first festival in Liyue, the people were incredibly enthusiastic.

The festival's theme revolves around 'commemoration' and 'inheritance'.

They made lanterns to commemorate the heroes who died in the war against the demons.

Amidst the myriad lights of homes, we illuminate the human civilization known as inheritance.

"May the flame be passed on, and may virtue never perish." — The Emperor said.

Thus, the theme of the Lantern Festival has been passed down.

"That's not enough."

At night, Su Chen gazed at the myriad lights of Liyue Harbor. The lanterns rose into the sky, illuminating the entire harbor, and even the sea was lit up.

Seeing this scene, he felt a strong urge to protect it.

In the 56th year of the Xuanyuan Calendar, you began to compile and preserve your knowledge of pharmacology in writing, creating Liyue's first representative work of pharmacology—the "Xuanyuan Materia Medica," laying the foundation for solving the diseases of the people of Liyue.

In the sixtieth year of the Xuanyuan calendar, you authored "Basic Theory of Elementology," followed by "Principles of Elemental Reaction Mechanisms" in the same year, and "Theory of Earth Vein Energy Cycle" the following year, among other works.

[Achieve the achievement 'Encyclopedia Master'.]

[In the 66th year of the Xuanyuan Calendar, you simplified the complex art of prophecy and compiled it into a work.]

In the 68th year of the Xuanyuan Calendar, you compiled the "True Words Study" and created the "Nine-Character True Words" of the Six Jia Secret Incantation.

[In the same year, you founded the Hundred Arts Academy, recruiting talented individuals within Liyue to study there. The academy's duties differed from the Thousand Rock Army, primarily focusing on combating evil spirits and demons.]

[You created the ten Heavenly Stems and twelve Earthly Branches, which were then filled by various immortals, each with their own duties, to protect Liyue, which is not subject to the jurisdiction of the Seven Stars.]

Thanks to your efforts, the entire Liyue region is undergoing a dramatic transformation.

[Year 70 of the Xuanyuan Calendar.]

Human Emperor Palace.

The soft light of early morning spilled into the courtyard, a gentle breeze rustled the pine trees, and the snow hanging from the eaves slid off, waking the people sleeping soundly in the courtyard.
