Genshin Impact, but the chat group

Guided by Yae, an ordinary shrine maiden, the group embarked on a journey to Inazuma.

When Li Yue went up the mountain, she flew directly from the southwest of Ying Xiangshan, while the main road up the mountain started from the Kamisato-yashiki in the east of Ying Xiangshan.

Following the stone steps down the mountainside, after circling Mount Kage twice, you arrive at the foot of Mount Kage, at the entrance of the Kamisato family's residence.

Then, they took a boat directly from the dock below the Kamisato family to Shirofunono, from where they could go directly to Konta Village. They showed Li Yue the hardships the villagers were living in. They learned from the villagers about the oppression of the villagers by the shogunate soldiers. After the isolation edict, the only cash crop in Konta Village, the violet melon, could no longer be sold to outsiders. The villagers could only eat half full every day and had to pay heavy taxes to the shogunate soldiers.

They then took a boat from the dock on Ganjin Island to Kannazuka, where they saw the contaminated Tadashiwa caused by the leak of the Mikage furnace core. The Mikage furnace core was originally functioning normally, but now it was leaking to the outside world in this state, and it felt like it could explode at any moment. The site was also sealed off by the shogunate soldiers, so Li Yue and the others could not enter at all.

What's even more interesting is that the leak in the Mikage furnace core was visible to the naked eye from the outside, but the soldiers on guard said there was no problem. It's likely that when the report reached Narukami, it would also be a normal report. Li Yue and the others saw a Fontaineese man shouting that he wanted to go in for repairs, but he was stopped by the Shogunate army on the grounds that this was Inazuma's internal affair and had nothing to do with foreigners. The group was all greatly shocked by this.

Then, standing on Ta-e-sa, they saw the island of Hachi-yeon, which seemed to be surrounded by thunder and lightning, as well as the famous Musou-no-Rin-hazaki on Hachi-yeon, which could be considered a tourist attraction. Apart from the island of Umi-gi, where the resistance army was located, and the undeveloped islands of Seirai and Tsuru-kan, Li Yue had visited three of the four islands inhabited by humans in the Inazuma Islands in just one day.

"Is this the same unexpected strike that Thor used to kill the demon god Ourobas?"

Standing beside the narrow passage of the Boundless Blade, looking down at the water below, which had turned into a deadly poison due to the resentment of the demon god, Li Yue couldn't help but shake his head.

"That's right. At the time, Narukami Ookusho didn't think too much about it. He just killed the great serpent Obaros here. However, because of the resentment of the demon god after his death, the seawater here has been polluted and can only remain like this."

As we all know, demons unleash their resentment and power after death. The power of the Salt Demon turned almost all of her followers into pillars of salt. Therefore, the resentment and power of Obaros, a clearly martial god, would naturally be even stronger after death.

"But this shouldn't have anything to do with the weather here."

Li Yue looked up at the sky. The entire sky above Bayun Island was covered with dark clouds, and not a ray of sunshine could be seen. Moreover, it was raining heavily, and lightning struck from time to time, randomly. This was no place for a human to stay.

The reason Li Yue and his group were able to climb up so easily was entirely because Li Yue kept her shield activated the entire time. Neither lightning strikes nor torrential rain could affect Li Yue and her group.

"Indeed, this place wasn't like this originally. Was there the resentment of the giant serpent here? We built a shrine to suppress it, but after the war started, it became what it is now."

"So, someone destroyed the shrine that was meant to suppress the demon god's resentment?"

"That's possible."

Ayaka Kamisato nodded.

"And what caused all of this was war."

"So, why does war happen?"

Li Yue looked at Ling Hua curiously and asked, while Ling Hua gripped the folding fan in her hand tightly and took a deep breath.

"In fact, after the general issued the isolation order, although everyone was unable to communicate with the outside world, they still lived relatively comfortably. However, the general then issued the Eye Hunting Order, which led to the outbreak of war."

"Ling Hua, the general's orders are not to be questioned!"

Ling Ren gave a serious reminder from the side, but Li Yue knew that one of them was playing the good cop and the other the bad cop.

“Brother, this is a decision I made after mustering up my courage. Please forgive me.”

Ling Hua bowed her head and apologized to Ling Ren, then looked seriously at Li Yue.

"Lord Rock King, what do you think the Eye of God means to us mortals?"

"It is the embodiment of one's wishes. When a person's wishes reach a certain level, the gods will lower their gaze, and then the divine eye will be awakened."

"That's right. The Eye of God represents people's wishes, but the general ignored people's wishes and insisted on taking the Eye of God away. Those whose Eye of God is taken away will lose their wishes and then become depressed and confused."

"People did not want their desires to be taken away, so they rebelled, and that's how wars started."

"Moreover, what everyone is rebelling against is not the general, but the eye-hunting order issued by the general."

Ling Hua, in one breath, spoke out all her thoughts, strongly expressing her dissatisfaction with the Eye Hunt Order.

"I see."

Li Yue crossed her arms and looked at the sky filled with raging winds, thunder, and torrential rain, and couldn't help but sigh.

"This is probably not the Inazuma that my friend wanted to see."

"I'm very sorry to have shown you Inatsuma like this."

Yae no Miko apologized from the side, speaking to Li Yue, and also to the "True" within Li Yue's soul, who was watching Inazuma through Li Yue's eyes.

"So, if we can get the general to rescind the Eye Hunt order, everything will be alright."

Lingren gave the final summary.

Upon hearing this summary, Li Yue burst out laughing.

"Hahaha."

Li Yue's smile surprised everyone. They had considered the possible responses Li Yue might give, such as ignoring what they said, since it was Inazuma's matter, or feeling empathy and then anger. But they did not expect Li Yue to smile. What did this smile mean?

"Lord Rock King, why are you laughing?"

Li Yue suppressed her smile and gave her answer.

"I laugh at Thor's reclusiveness and Inatsume's lack of intelligence!"

154. Thor suddenly descends!

The reason why the Kamisato siblings took Li Yue to Konta Village first, then to Tsutsuna, and finally to Hachiun Island was simple: to let Li Yue understand how miserable the Inazuma people were because of Raiden General's isolation order and eye-hunting order, and the reasons why the people resisted Raiden General because of the eye-hunting order. Through this means, they wanted Li Yue to empathize with Inazuma's situation and then help them.

This was the idea of ​​the Kamisato siblings. In the original storyline, they did the same thing to the blond guy. It's possible that Kamisato Ayaka does have feelings of admiration for the master, but she also uses them in an incredibly direct way.

Back when he was a player, Li Yue really didn't want to get involved in these trivial matters. However, as a traveler, you have no choice. You have to do whatever miHoYo tells you to do. There is no choice at all.

Now that Ayaka Kamisato is using this tactic on Li Yue, how could Li Yue possibly empathize with her?

"Thor has failed in his duty!!"

Li Yue's resounding words caused the Shen siblings beside him to widen their eyes, and Yae was so shocked that his ears perked up.

Are you curious why I said that?

"Before I became the new Geo Archon, I once told a story in Liyue Harbor out of interest. Do you know how I evaluated Electro at that time?"

The Kamisato siblings dared not speak, so Yae had to speak instead.

"How was it evaluated?"

"Thor is like an autistic girl!"

"I don't have much information about Thor, but I know the basics. 500 years ago, Thor was a war goddess who would lead soldiers into battle. But after that disaster 500 years ago, she never stepped out of the castle tower again. At most, she would move around a little in Inazuma Castle."

"Now she's letting Inazuma's army fight on the front lines while she cowers inside the castle tower, letting the soldiers sacrifice themselves in vain. She's no longer the Raijin who used to stand in front of the soldiers and fight alongside them."

Li Yue shook her head in disappointment.

"I had only heard about it before, but now that I've come to Inazuma, I'm certain that she has voluntarily severed ties with the Inazuma people and has completely withdrawn from society."

"If a deity actively refuses to contact her people, allowing her soldiers to die needlessly on the battlefield, then she is a derelict deity!"

"Then, what is Inazuma's lack of intelligence?"

Ling Hua mustered her courage and asked.

"Who told you that losing your God's Eye will make you lose your desires and become lost?"

"Ugh?"

Linghua was somewhat puzzled, but she gave her answer.

"In Inazuma City, there are many people who have become despondent because their Eye of God was taken away."

"In other words, you've seen a lot of real-world examples, right?"

"Yes."

"Then it seems those people are all useless."

"what?"

"Come on, tell me, how did the Eye of God come about?"

Li Yue looked at Ling Hua and asked.

"When a person's desire is strong enough, the gods will lower their gaze, and the eye of God will awaken."

"Very well, so before the Eye of God appeared, did that person have a wish or not?"

"Ugh?"

Ling Hua choked.

"When a person's desire is strong enough, the gods will lower their gaze, and then the Eye of God will appear, allowing that person to drive elemental power through the Eye of God. In other words, the so-called Eye of God is just a tool for the gods to make it easier for people to realize their desires. Even if you lose the Eye of God, you still have the desires, but the way to realize them may be more difficult than before."

"People attribute this difficulty to losing the Eye of God, and then choose to escape, thus becoming decadent. This is just those who have lost the Eye of God escaping."

"But...."

Ling Hua wanted to say something, but Li Yue ruthlessly interrupted her.

"Furthermore, according to you, losing the Eye of God means losing one's desires. What about those who never had the Eye of God in the first place? Did they all have no desires at all?"

Ayaka Kamisato couldn't answer, because ordinary people naturally have their own wishes too. Can you say they don't have wishes?

"Besides, who says losing the Eye of God will make you despondent? I know several people who have lost their Eye of God, and they haven't become despondent at all; in fact, they've become even stronger! It's true that users of the Eye of God can entrust their wishes to it, but if they feel they've lost their wishes just because they've lost the Eye of God, then they're nothing special!"

Diluc of Mondstadt, the Prince of Winter, and even the native Inazuma Ichito, all of these people have lost their Visions, but did you see them become dejected when they lost their Visions?

Diluc was still powerful even when he gave up the Eye of God. The Prince of Calamity was having a blast in the Primal Sea with just one Evil Eye. Ichito Arataki was a street thug whether he had the Eye of God or not!

"If I take away your God's Eye now, will you give up everything you want to uphold?"

Li Yue stared at Ayaka Kamisato, who shook her head firmly.

"Of course not!"

However, Ling Hua was stunned after saying it.

"Ha~"

Li Yue chuckled softly, then looked away from Ling Hua.

Ling Ren watched Ling Hua's stunned expression and sighed inwardly. His sister had completely lost.

"Thank you for your guidance, Lord Yan. We will definitely reflect on our mistakes."

"You can say that Thor failed in his duty, causing the people of Inazuma to suffer, but you cannot blame the emergence of the rebels on Thor's Eye of the Storm, understand? You can say that they rebelled for various reasons, but you absolutely cannot say that they rebelled because of Thor!"

"understood."

Ling Hua had recovered somewhat and lowered her head towards Li Yue.

"Alright, that's enough about Inazuma's situation."

This day, like a special forces trip, was all about traveling. We visited three islands in the Inazuma Islands in one day, and it was time to come to an end.
