Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

Ying nodded silently, seemingly having made up her mind. The divine child stopped trying to persuade her and handed over the edict of self-reproach.

Throughout history, there have been very few monarchs who personally read out their edicts of self-reproach.

The goddess thought that the shadow was just putting on an act to improve her image in Inatsume's eyes, but she didn't expect that she was serious.

Ying took the edict of self-reproach, faced her subjects kneeling at her feet, and loudly read its contents.

"Since I, the Great Lord, assumed the position of Thunder God, I have intended for the eternal reign of the people, so that Inazuma may last for a thousand generations. However, I acted arbitrarily, neglecting the people's sentiments, which led to widespread resentment and the people's aversion to me. I also readily believed the words of petty men, issuing the Eye-Hunting Edict and the Seclusion Edict, causing innocent people to die tragically while the culprits lived peacefully, abandoned by all. Later, the great demon Suzuka Gozen, deceiving the emperor and the people, seized power, plunging the country into chaos, with war raging and countless deaths. Reflecting on this in the middle of the night, I am filled with shame and indignation! Today, I offer this sacrifice to comfort the wronged souls, denounce my own sins, and reflect on myself three times, so as to ease the hearts of the people. From now on, Inazuma will be free of shackles, and everyone can live in peace and prosperity. To show my sincerity, I am willing to relinquish the title of Great Lord of the Supreme ...

After the imperial edict was read, Inazuma Castle fell into a deathly silence.

Even if it's an edict of self-reproach, these words are far too harsh.

They showed Thor absolutely no mercy! They exposed all the stupid things she had done, right in front of all her subjects.

Even the divine child felt that this was a bit too much, and glared at Lu Sheng with a resentful look.

Without a doubt, the content of the edict of self-reproach was written by Lu Sheng.

Ying Ke lacks the cultural refinement to write those convoluted and roundabout things.

Lu Sheng didn't think it was excessive. Since it was an edict of self-reproach, it should show some sincerity. If it was just a superficial effort, it would only be treating the symptoms, not the root cause.

If even the people don't believe him, how can you expect Shadow to truly recognize his mistakes?

People won't truly change unless they're completely resolute and break with their past selves.

If Shadow were placed in a feudal society without elemental power, her shogunate would have changed its name and identity countless times by now.

She should be glad to have a second chance, rather than find the content of the self-reproach edict too painful.

Of course, Lu Sheng didn't go too far; stripping Ying of his title and general position was what he truly did to show his subordinates.

Surely no one really thinks that a title and a position can change the ruling power of Inazuma.

If there are any idiots who think that way, they are the kind of people who deserve to die.

From then on, Inazuma no longer had the person known as General Raiden, only the movie Raiden.

This wave is enough to salvage some of the precarious reputation of the character in Inatsumi's heart.

But this is just the beginning. A complete transformation will depend on the level of dedication to governing the country.

In the following days, Ying began to appear frequently in various places in Inazuma.

On the first day, Kage visited Narukami Island to comfort the villages destroyed by the war. After inspecting the area, he saw that the victims had been properly resettled and smiled with satisfaction. Before leaving, he emphasized to the local officials that the three principles of the shogunate must be implemented: no corruption, doing practical things, and understanding the people's hearts.

The following day, Kage went to the Tatara Sand Forging Factory, had a friendly exchange with the craftsmen, and handed over the long-lost blueprints of the Raiden Gokusen to the forging factory, making the following request: use the best steel, the best craftsmanship, and the best professional attitude to create the best Inazuma Manufacturing.

There must be a demon behind the scenes directing you.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Inside the Dust Song Pot, Lu Sheng stood with his hands on his hips, looking incredibly arrogant.

"Success!"

He gazed at the lifelike creation before him, a blonde loli, about the same height as Painmon, with a blank expression and remarkably intelligent eyes; she was clearly very clever.

Sensing the danger, Paimon approached with a strange expression and hurriedly asked, "Who is she? Isn't Master enough with me? I can do anything!"

“What? You’re different from her.” Lu Sheng explained, “Hakimon is unique, but the purpose of creation in this world is to be used as a tool. What? Does Paimon want to become a tool too?”

Paimon shook his head vigorously, puzzled. "A tool? What does Master want to use her for? Could it be... Ugh! Master is so mean! If you're going to do that kind of thing, you should at least make a more mature one. I remember Master, you seem to like Lisa and Rosalind, right?"

The master's XP Paimon probably understands, otherwise he wouldn't have been kicked off the bed every day if he had been crawling in the master's bed.

Boom!

Paimon had barely finished speaking when he was hit on the head with a hammer.

"Damn Paimon, what's the point of having such a good imagination?" Lu Sheng explained, "It's just a piece I'm using to set up my strategy."

"Layout?" Paimon was even more puzzled.

"Yes, I used to think I was free and unrestrained, but now it seems that the complexity of this world is beyond my imagination. My journey has been under the control of others so far. In the end, I am just a pawn on the chessboard."

Lu Sheng sighed softly and continued, "If you want to take your destiny completely into your own hands, you must step out of this game and become a player yourself."

"Now I have a small but elite armed force that obeys my orders. With proper training, it will surely be able to play a role in the future."

“But that’s far from enough. My strength is only enough to deal with the immediate crisis. By killing Suzuka Gozen, I’ve already made it clear that I’m at war with the Witches’ Society. They’re definitely already plotting against me in secret. Of course, I can’t just sit here and wait to die. I need some loyal clones to help me accomplish some things.”

The golden-haired loli in front of me is a masterpiece created using intermediate-level Golden Creation Technique, based on the remains of a demon god.

It belongs to the same level of humus layer as Dulin.

She will become Rikuo's first pawn, heading to Mondstadt to befriend Klee and Abel.

Alice is Claire's mother and Abedo's adoptive mother. In critical moments, he can use her to control others.

He couldn't do this himself. Witches might be bad, but they weren't stupid. He had to strike unexpectedly to get to the heart of the matter.

However, this body is currently missing a soul.

A creation without a soul is driven only by instinct. Such a thing, let alone being placed next to someone as a pawn, probably wouldn't even know to take shelter when it rains.

I happen to have a bunch of demonic karma inside me, and I can use the Spirit Binding Technique to transplant them into my creations, just like scattered soldiers.

After much deliberation, Lu Sheng finally chose a demon called Chi.

The Chi is said to be a hornless dragon. There are legends about the Chi in Qingce Village in Liyue. It is said that it was eventually suppressed by Morax and turned into a stone statue.

Perhaps due to lingering resentment, the calamities caused by the dragon continued. One day, a passing ape encountered it and casually captured it, turning it into karmic retribution that resided within the ape's body.

Now that I'm here with Lu Sheng, I never expected to be able to find employment again.

However, this dragon has nothing to do with the dragon that the Emperor suppressed. If we had to make a connection, it would probably be like the difference between sugarcane and white sugar in the ground.

Lu Sheng transplanted the spirit of the dragon into the body of the blonde loli and quietly waited for the two to completely merge.

I have this strange feeling of excitement about becoming a mother.

"Ultraman, open your eyes, I am Shafulin."

Seeing that the little girl was not waking up for a long time, Lu Sheng became a little uneasy and started to make a move.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the blond-haired girl actually opened her eyes.

She blinked her golden eyes, curiously observing the two people of different heights in front of her, then turned her head in great confusion to observe this unfamiliar world.

Lu Sheng waved at her, "Hey! Look here! Call me Dad!"

The little girl's attention was drawn to Lu Sheng, and she tilted her head, calling out, "Mom...Mom..."

"It's not Mommy, it's not Mommy, it's Daddy!"

"mom!"

The little girl suddenly sprang to life, crawling on all fours to Lu Sheng, grabbing his leg and looking up at him with longing eyes.

"Mommy! Milk! Milk!"

"Holy crap! How come it's been upgraded to a super seniority?"

Lu Sheng tried to swing his leg, but she clung to him like a leech.

At this moment, Paimon realized, "She probably means she wants milk, right?"

"Huh? She's not a baby, why would she drink milk? Besides, who here has milk?"

Paimon shook his head. "There's still some milk at home. I'll take it and see if she wants to drink it."

Soon, Paimon brought out the unfinished milk from the house and waved it in front of the blonde girl.

The little girl's eyes lit up immediately, and she picked up the milk jug and started gurgling and showing it off.

She emptied two whole buckets of milk by herself, and then lay on the ground, patting her round belly, basking in the sun contentedly.

"Holy crap, he can drink so much. It's a good thing I'm not a woman, otherwise even if I had a 36D, I would have been sucked down to a smaller size."

Lu Sheng then squatted down and said to the little girl, "Listen carefully, I am your creator and your father. I gave you life, and I can take it back at any time, so you have to be a good girl and listen to me, understand?"

The little girl nodded. "If there's milk to drink, you'll be obedient!"

I'll accept whoever feeds me.

"NONONO, you have to be obedient even if you don't have milk to drink."

The little girl shook her head, "No milk to drink, I'm being disobedient!"

"OK, OK, drink my milk, be good. Drink someone else's milk, be disobedient."

The little girl thought for a moment, then nodded, "Mmm!"

Lu Sheng input the basic operating logic of the loli as if he were coding, and in short, he successfully tuned the creation.

Creatures have a strong learning ability; after teaching her how to be human for just a few days, she can be sent to Mondstadt to carry out a mission.

“Master, you haven’t named her yet,” Paimon reminded him.

"Oh right, I almost forgot about such an important thing." After thinking for a moment, Lu Sheng said, "You used to be a dragon, but now you're a human, so I'll remove the 'insect' from your name. From now on, you'll be called Ali."

"Ah Li...that sounds great! Thank you!"

Ali gladly accepted her new name and seemed very happy.

"Hello Ali, I'm Sister Paimon. Welcome to our big family! Come on! I'll take you to eat something delicious!"

Paimon pulled Ali along and ran out excitedly.

"In this world... Paimon has become an elder..."

Lu Sheng chuckled to himself, realizing that he had a secret he hadn't told Paimon yet.

That is, there is a powerful bomb inside Ali's body.

The bomb was commissioned by him to be made by Victor.

After all, there are some things that must be prevented. Ali is not an ordinary creation. Her body is the remains of a demon god, and her craftsmanship is mid-level gold-grade. The combination of these two elements creates something terrifying in itself.

Moreover, A-Li's soul is evil.

She seems like an innocent and carefree child now, but no one knows when she might turn on you like a venomous snake.

Hiding a bomb inside one's body is a precaution; if that day ever comes, one can eliminate a huge problem simply by having the thought.

After finishing the business, it's time to go to the Pure Land of One Mind and practice with Ying.
