Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

"Inazuma Castle, the shogunate still exists and has not been overthrown."

After a moment of silence, Lei Yingdian, as if struggling, began to use the few remaining cards he had.

"Soon. Our troops should have already occupied the island and are landing from both the Wilderness Sea and the White Fox Field towards Inazuma Castle. It will be a few hours at most."

"Moreover, the shogunate facilities in Inazuma Castle, such as the magistrate's office, have probably already been smashed to pieces by our workers. The shogunate in Inazuma Castle is already dead in name only."

Seeing that Lei Yingdian remained silent, Jiang Ming added insult to injury.

"Why are you so determined to overthrow the shogunate? Has the existence of the shogunate hindered you?"

"Indeed, the existence of the shogunate cannot meet the needs of Inazuma's future development, does not conform to our core ideology, and has indeed hindered us and the vast majority of Inazuma people. It should be eliminated and must be eliminated."

"..."

Lei was speechless for a moment. She had just blurted out that sentence subconsciously and never expected to be shut down so quickly.

"why?"

"Because the shogunate, from beginning to end, was merely a tool in your hands. It was only meant to carry out the will of the gods, not the will of the people. In essence, it was already different."

"This body is sufficient to represent the will of the majority of Inazuma."

"People want more abundant material conditions, a better life, and to no longer be bound by heavy workloads. They believe that this is the eternity you promised, but what has happened?"

"..."

"Let me be frank with you, the result is completely the opposite, which is the fundamental reason why we are meeting here today. Look at those crowds outside the castle tower who can no longer suppress their anger; their next step will be to become us."

"...I admit that this was a mistake made in the process of achieving eternity, but it has now been corrected."

"So what is your understanding of eternity right now?"

Jiang Ming picked up on Lei's movie commentary almost without any pause.

"..."

Lei Movie was speechless again.

The old understanding? That was indeed closest to the natural order, but now it is clearly wrong, and the people of Inazuma do not accept it.

A new understanding?

She still needs time.

"The only constant in this world is change itself. If you try to achieve so-called eternity by stagnating development, stagnating change, or anything else, all you will get is a country in perpetual death."

If he were a general, he would have already blurted out "absurd!" at this point.

But now it's a cheesy movie, and the biggest difference between her and the general is that she can listen to what people say.

It should be spoken in a literal, human way, not just in a fleeting moment.

At this point, she had begun to contemplate the statement, "The only constant is change itself."

"Moreover, you are not human; you can hardly understand humanity. You believe you can represent the people of Inazuma and their will, but in reality, you are merely using your prestige to impose your own will on them. Out of their worship of you, they are willing to believe and follow you, but this does not represent the will of the people of Inazuma."

"During your more than three hundred years of rule, the development of Inazuma has almost stagnated after the post-disaster recovery, with no change whatsoever. The same is true after the shogun took office, as if the pause button has really been pressed. In recent years, it has even regressed to a disaster-level level."

"Then how can you guarantee that you and your people can do these things? You will also make mistakes, and perhaps you won't be any better than me. Even if you can live a life without making a mistake, you only have a lifespan of a hundred years. How can you guarantee that your successors will be the same as you?"

Lei's thoughts were interrupted, and old grievances were brought up, making him inexplicably irritable.

"I cannot guarantee that, but I can guarantee that the shogunate will not."

Having been stepped on again, Lei Movie became even more irritable.

"Social development is bound to have its ups and downs and take some detours, but ultimately, it is in the hands of the people and it is the power of the people that corrects it. If the gods are involved, then how should we deal with that?"

"Furthermore, the two sides have completely different physiological structures, completely different material and spiritual needs, and even completely different concepts of time. The original duty of the gods was to guide mankind, but even now, how many are still fulfilling this duty, and are they even able to fulfill it well?"

"The two oldest gods next door, who had dutifully completed their work of guiding humanity, both chose to believe in the power of humanity and returned the power of choice and development to humanity."

Lei was about to refute these words when he heard them, but he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Upon closer examination of these contents, she felt increasingly uneasy.

His eyes gradually filled with vigilance.

"It seems you have realized this as well. This is the third point: you will no longer be the supreme general of Inazuma. You will no longer have the highest authority over Inazuma. The newly formed Inazuma People's Assembly will become the highest authority."

"At the same time, you entrusted such an important matter as governing the country to a puppet, which led to a great disaster. You bear an inescapable responsibility for dereliction of duty."

Jiang Ming spoke in a calm tone, yet he uttered words that were enough to make every woman in Inazuma turn pale.

Even bad movies are no exception.

Chapter 223 The lingering ghost

"Boom——"

The sky outside the castle tower suddenly changed from clear to cloudy.

Thunder rumbled in the sky even though it wasn't raining.

Lei Yingdong suddenly stood up, his face unfriendly, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light as he looked at Jiang Ming.

"This body is the most supreme and noble body in the mortal world, and should hold the great power of the world. This body once promised its subjects a dream, which is an eternal promise that will not change for thousands of generations."

Lei's films, with the most understated tone, utter the most arrogant words, declaring their stance and bottom line.

!

The powerful aura caused even the Eye of God holders like Shinkai and Goro, who were sensitive to elemental power, to break out in a cold sweat.

Although Jiang Ming was also intimidated, he suppressed his fear, stood up, and confronted Lei Yingdian.

"From the moment we decided to resist, Haiji Island has come this far thanks to the support and help of the working people of Inazuma. They trusted us and helped us. Through our united labor, we have created what we have today. We promised them a bright and beautiful future, a future where everyone can develop freely. This is our solemn promise, and we will certainly keep it."

"..."

One man and one god faced off in the castle tower.

Watching the changes in the sky and feeling the powerful aura of the Shogun inside, the guards outside were filled with worry about the situation inside the castle tower.

People outside the castle tower also began to worry about the progress of the negotiations between the two sides.

"If I don't agree, what will you do then?"

"Then let's keep fighting. It's up to you to decide how long you want to fight. We'll keep fighting until we achieve complete victory."

Both sides, at least verbally, were unwilling to give an inch.

Silence is the only sound in the castle tower at this moment.

In the midst of this silent standoff, Jiang Ming's communication device suddenly rang.

Not only Jiang Ming, but also Xin Hai and Wu Lang's communication devices rang.

This is an emergency communication.

I wonder what happened this time.

The sudden communication caused Jiang Ming's momentum to drop considerably.

Jiang Ming gestured for Wu Lang to leave the scene and handle the situation first.

A moment later, Goro returned to the castle tower with an anxious expression.

"The attack on Narukami Shrine resulted in heavy casualties for our forces. At least three demon-level units were involved simultaneously. Preliminary assessments indicate they were the executors of the Fatui: Dr., Jester, and Captain. The specific details are still under investigation, and the situation at Narukami Shrine remains unclear."

"What?"*2.

Louder than Jiang Ming's exclamation was Lei's voice.

At this moment, the confrontational aura between the two vanished, but the lightning strikes from the thunderclouds above the castle tower became even more frequent.

He seems to have become more irritable.

"Son of God!"

If even these Sea Gods cannot withstand three demon-level enemies, wouldn't the Divine Child be in great danger?

The lightning bolt teleported directly to Narukami Shrine, taking with it the thunderclouds above the castle tower.

Jiang Ming and the others looked at each other.

It seems that the negotiations are temporarily stalled.

"Let's go to Narukami Shrine and give orders to see how much manpower we can mobilize to search for the Doctor and his group. We need to intercept them before they leave the country, no matter what."

That's what they said, but they didn't have much hope of stopping the doctor and his team.

After all, the Fatui also possess teleportation technology, but their interference technology has a limited range.

However, when they arrived at the castle tower to board the plane, they were stopped by the expectant crowd.

"How is it, Lord Jiang Ming? Lord Xin Hai? Is there any result?"

"Will we still be able to do business properly in the future?"

Why did the sky suddenly become so terrifying?

"..."

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have encountered some emergency situations that require immediate attention. Negotiations are temporarily suspended. Please wait patiently."

Xin Hai briefly explained a few words to everyone, then turned around and jogged to catch up with Jiang Ming and Wu Lang.

The people left at the scene, including Okuzawa's followers and the shogunate soldiers, looked at each other in bewilderment, not understanding what had happened.

a few minutes ago.

As the shadows fell down the mountain, the spatial passage quietly opened.

The clown and the captain, who were originally busy with their own things, were called over by the doctor.

This is precisely the edge of the interference zone.

"Dottore, what's so important? And why are we meeting here? What about your factory? Where have all those resources gone?"
