Genshin Impact, My Villain System Is a Bit Abnormal

The Liyue merchant chuckled dryly, "Your Excellency is too kind..."

The Seven Stars' superiors... even Gan Yu, who is nominally their secretary but actually supervises them, doesn't count, nor does the hermit who lives in seclusion in Liyue Harbor and the countryside.

Throughout the ages, the Seven Stars have only had one superior: the Rock King, Morax.

Jiang Ning didn't waste any words. He simply raised his hand, and a barrier appeared, enveloping the room. After confirming that no trace of his aura would leak out, he closed his eyes and then opened them again.

In an instant, Jiang Ning's red eyes transformed into vertical pupils filled with divinity, revealing the weight of the rock element and the authority of the God of Noble Metal.

The faces of the merchants in front of them changed drastically. This...this feeling...

It's exactly the same aura as the Emperor during the summoning ceremony! Legend has it that the Emperor has a thousand faces and travels through the mortal realm.

Then wouldn't this young man in front of me be...?

The men suddenly knelt down:

"Greetings, Your Majesty..."

150. Taking a shortcut and first meeting with Kujo Sara.

"Don't be nervous. I am not the Emperor. The Geo Emperor is my master. You have been in Inazuma for a long time and have not returned. You may not know that Liyue has changed a lot. I should now be considered the next Geo God. Currently, Liyue is in a transitional period where the gods supervise and the people of Liyue govern themselves."

Jiang Ning smiled and recounted some recent events that had occurred in Liyue.

The merchants couldn't help but sigh, "The Emperor is tired... But it's good, he needs to rest."

However, some merchants were a little reserved, after all, even if the person in front of them was not the Emperor, he was still a figure second only to the Emperor in the entire Liyue Kingdom.

"Oh, right, don't reveal my identity casually. If anyone asks, just say I'm the Tianquan Special Envoy, here to cooperate with Yuheng Star."

Jiang Ning said with a smile.

"I will obey your orders, sir."

The merchants looked respectful, but their unease had almost completely vanished.

With their own deity coming to Inazuma's aid, what more is there to say?

"You'll have to bear with it for the next few days. When the time is right, we'll make the Commissioner of the Imperial Censorate vomit up double what he's swallowed."

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Ning's eyes as he spoke.

"Also, what is Inazuma's current situation? Tell us what you know so we can prepare our next steps."

"Yes, sir, the current Inazuma..."

The group began to discuss quietly.

…………

In half a day, Jiang Ning learned about Inazuma's current situation.

Because the gods pursue eternity, they imposed a national lockdown order. Furthermore, the gods believed that those who possessed the Eye of God were pursuing their own dreams, and that unfavorable factors would arise along the way.

Therefore, the Eye of God is also within the realm of what is detrimental to eternity, which led to the Eye Hunt Order...

On Umijima Island, the rebel army and the shogunate army are locked in fierce fighting.

Of the three major directives, the Kanding and Tianling directives were corrupt and incompetent, while only the She directive was truly for the benefit of the people.

The Fatui were also rampant in Inazuma. Although they weren't as outrageous as Mondstadt, they were still incredibly arrogant. As for the monsters in the wild and the sea monsters and ronin who couldn't survive due to the lockdown and eye-hunting laws...

There are plenty of them.

Hearing all this, Jiang Ning was shocked. Was this really not the Qing Dynasty but Inazuma?

Holy crap, internal and external troubles, corruption at the top, isolationism... this buff is maxed out.

If this weren't a realm ruled by gods, raising one's arms and shouting might just... cough cough.

In conclusion, Jiang Ning felt he still needed to go and take a look at Inazuma City.

However, Jiang Ning and Heulia were almost overjoyed along the way.

Everywhere there were remnants and resentments of demons, as well as the electrical crystals and singing grass needed to create the body.

Inazuma, what a wonderful place.

"Jiang Ning, I think we can go to Inazuma Castle. They say there's a Narukami Shrine there. If we ask the shrine maidens, they'll probably know about the remnants of a demon god. In Inazuma's words, it should be called 'worshiping the god'?"

Heurelia said.

"Yeah, that's what I thought too."

Jiang Ning nodded.

"Let me see, this is the road leading to the island... Ugh, I'm going to have to deal with those disgusting people again."

On the map, the roads leading away from the island were lined with officials and envoys; Jiang Ning really didn't want to deal with them.

Heureia said, "Hmm, I think we can take a shortcut."

3Ⅰ Erba Yisi Yi Sanjiu

Jiang Ning said, "That's possible, but we'll have to deal with the loose ends from the investigation and enforcement."

Let's go somewhere where no one is around.

Heureia is merciless.

Even a benevolent god can be corrupted by following Jiang Ning. After all, during the time he's been with Jiang Ning, he's done his fair share of murder and robbery with these treasure-hunting gangs in the wild.

For this reason, Jiang Ning had been criticized by Zhongli and Xianyun more than once.

You're a god about to ascend to the throne, and you're doing this kind of thing every day? You need to be mindful of your image!

But Jiang Ning remained enthusiastic about it.

They lured the people behind them to a secluded spot and waited for a while, but the people behind them still didn't react at all.

Jiang Ning muttered, "These people are probably just following me? Afraid I'll leave the island? Honestly, their stalking is so unprofessional, they even have their family crests so obviously on them..."

The next second, a cold wind blew by, and the person following behind silently turned into ice powder and disappeared from this world.

"Is it really that simple..." Heuria seemed somewhat disappointed.

"Otherwise what? Are you expecting a major battle? Or to reveal your identity and surprise the other side so they'll bow down in worship? Please, Lia, you should read less of Liyue's novels. I don't have time for that."

Jiangning's complaints.

"That's true, if that were the case, it would lower the prestige of the Demon God."

Heureya nodded seriously.

"Alright, let's find a back path..."

…………

A dozen minutes later, Heureya sat on a rock, somewhat speechless.

"This is the path you were talking about?"

Jiang Ning said, "Well, there's only one official road leading to Daoqi City. If we don't go that way, the only other option is by water."

Looking at the vast ocean, Jiang Ning simply created a large floating rock, froze the bottom with ice, and used wind and fire elements to propel it upwards.

"But that's Inazuma... Is the Kami-zakura tree really that high up? It's so far away, yet we can still see it."

Heuria sat gracefully on a small stone stool on the floating stone, gazing at the distant Inazuma Castle.

"I think climbing such a high mountain every day to worship at Narukami Taisha would probably kill a person."

Jiang Ning couldn't help but say.

"agree."

Heurelia said.

"Oh, we've arrived." Jiang Ning slowed down.

Upon reaching a secluded spot and disembarking, Jiang Ning retrieved his levitation stone.

"Wait, is Inazuma's defenses really that bad? Aren't there any naval patrols? This is Inazuma Castle, the capital of a country! We just walked right in?"

Jiang Ning walked towards the populated area, somewhat questioning his existence... and along the way, he collected materials such as singing grass.

It must be said that the power of the Geo Archon is quite powerful for mining.

Heuria said, "Inazuma Castle is also lifeless..."

Few shops were open on the street, and only a few shogunate soldiers patrolled. The faces of the people of Inazuma were filled with sorrow.

"This has nothing to do with us; our purpose is to worship God."

Jiang Ning said.

Heureia said, "Isn't this just the same old problem recurring..."

To put it nicely, it's called kindness; to put it bluntly, it's called having a saintly heart.

"Hello, two servings, please... Hmm, what's this called? Dumpling Milk?"

Jiang Ning arrived at a small stall on the street and said.

"Okay, that's 200 Mora in total."

"That's what the young stall owner said."

Jiang Ning frowned: "So expensive?"

200 Mora is enough to buy a decent meal at Wanmintang. (The prices in the game are a bit outrageous; please convert them to real-world prices.)

The young stall owner said, "Sir, it's not expensive. Prices in Inazuma are very high these days... Judging from your appearance, you're from out of town? Are outsiders allowed in Inazuma these days?"

He seemed somewhat surprised.

Jiang Ning said, "Oh, I came with the Liyue delegation, here for tourism... This is 100 Mora."

Anyway, it's all Ningguang's money... no, since Ningguang is mine now, it's my own money!

Jiang Ning immediately felt justified in using it.

Holding the milk tea dumplings, Jiang Ning secretly gave one to Heulia when no one was looking, and then continued strolling around.
