Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

"The feeling here is quite different from Liyue Harbor."

Shen He has been experiencing the atmosphere of this city all the way.

“There’s no sense of urgency here. People in Liyue Harbor are very busy, but it’s different here.”

"It's probably because of different philosophies. People here prefer poetry and distant places, and of course, fine wine," Su Zhe said with a smile. "People in Liyue love Mora; it's a haven for wealth."

Shen He nodded slightly.

The hustle and bustle of the world is far more complex than she imagined. For her opponent Shen He, the changes in human relationships are too varied, as are the differences in ideas between different regions.

Understanding these things takes time and effort.

But Su Zhe felt that Shen He just needed to be himself. Understanding didn't necessarily mean integrating. Deliberately trying to please someone only showed a lack of self-confidence or that he was too lonely.

Shen He's charm lies in his decisiveness in words and deeds, and in the kindness he holds deep in his heart; he's just not good at expressing it.

Yes, the ability to act decisively when facing evil forces and resolve trouble as quickly as possible is also a unique charm.

Huh? Talk about reason?

Violence may not solve problems, but it can get rid of the people who create them. This is Teyvat, not a place where you can always reason with people.

After strolling around, the two had another meal at the Deer Hunter Restaurant.

They didn't say much to each other, but Su Zhe felt unexpectedly relaxed.

A good relationship doesn't necessarily need to be proven with words. Just like the best brothers don't always say the word "brother," but when you encounter trouble, you always see the other person standing by your side. When you're sad, you can drink together. When you're happy, you can laugh together. When you're heartbroken, you can discuss your studies together. That's a true brother.

"Where's Su Zhe? Why are you alone?"

At the Knights' headquarters, Ningguang had just stepped out of the gate after the second round of 'battle' when she bumped into Shen He, who was returning from dinner.

"He went out on business."

"They went out? Left the city?"

"Hmm." Shen He nodded, then asked, "When are you going back to Liyue?"

“I would like to,” Ningguang sighed. “But we have to wait for Kyogre to come along, right? Jean is more persistent than I thought. Having a god backing her up definitely makes her more confident. But the key is what Kyogre thinks. If he’s willing, even if Anemo comes, it won’t matter.”

"Hmph! Does that mean only Mondstadt has gods?"

Before coming here, she had even considered talking to the Emperor.

If we could obtain a divine name, then this matter would naturally be settled.

Even if she knew how important Kyogre was to Liyue, and how it concerned the existence of the Demon God, the Emperor probably wouldn't make a decision so easily.

The Rock King Emperor has a great reputation, and there is also a rule that everyone knows.

As long as you don't cause trouble, Liyue welcomes you.

But if you do something wrong, then I'm sorry.

Therefore, although there are often indescribable terrifying beings appearing in Lonely Cloud Pavilion, they mostly come and go silently.

If Kyogre is in Liyue, with her protecting him, it's unlikely he'll get into trouble.

However, gaining the Emperor's approval and being granted a celestial name is no easy task.

Chapter 18 Activation, Constellation! The Vanished Kyogre >>

He told us to go back first.

"Ok?"

Ningguang frowned and immediately inquired carefully about what happened after Shen He left.

Shen He didn't hide anything and said whatever came to mind.

She accompanied Su Zhe the whole way, without any particular feeling. If she had to describe it, she would probably say she felt relaxed, because Su Zhe didn't look at her like a normal person would. Others would either be surprised, lewd, or uneasy.

These gazes made Shen He feel uncomfortable.

But Su Zhe was the only one who remained calm and composed, his eyes only focused on appreciating beauty.

"Stop, these unnecessary descriptions are unnecessary."

Ningguang's lips twitched slightly, stopping Shen He's 'acceptance speech'.

If she didn't know Shen He's personality, she would have thought he was deliberately showing off.

You just went out with my little whale, why are you making such a fuss?

Don't forget your mission here, Shen He!

"Gyokka just said that he has some things to take care of here and will go back after he's done. He won't stay in Mondstadt for long."

Upon hearing this, Ningguang showed a thoughtful expression.

"Is that so... Well then, when we get back, we can tell the Emperor about Kyogre. He should be very interested."

To compete with the Wind God for the person, we still need the Rock God to take action.

Taking advantage of this ceremony to invite the immortals, with the Emperor descending, it would be a perfect opportunity to introduce them. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

"Then let's wait for Kyoka to return, talk to him, and then leave."

Ningguang said with a smile.

"We still have some time. Let's go see what new wines Mondstadt has to offer. Speaking of which, we can conveniently stop by Dawn Winery. Mondstadt wines are quite popular in Liyue."

She came here mainly to meet with Ouka, and also to discuss business.

If a deal could be struck directly with Dawn Winery, the benefits for Ningguang would be obvious.

...

Meanwhile, Su Zhe, having left Mondstadt, was heading towards the Temple of a Thousand Winds.

The name Thousand Winds must have some connection with Ishtar.

However, it wasn't available in the game, so he wasn't sure what to expect.

Perhaps there is some earth-shattering secret inside, or perhaps it is simply an abandoned ruin. After all, it seems that the area has already been explored by archaeologists. Su Zhe has looked up some information, but none of it has provided any useful details.

I haven't had time to go before, but I'll go take a look now. I'll consider going back to Liyue after I'm done with this busy period.

"Hey~ Su Zhe, are you leaving?"

As he passed a meadow, Wendy, who was sitting alone in a tree, greeted him, as if she had been waiting there for a while.

No wonder I haven't seen you anywhere.

"Hehe~ I am the Wind God after all, it's normal for me to come out for some fresh air and relax once in a while."

Are you sure it's occasional relaxation and not occasional work?

Su Zhe pursed his lips.

"Speak, what do you want from me? If it's the Heart of God, forget it. I don't want that stuff. If the Ice Queen sets her sights on it, tomorrow the whole of Mondstadt will be filled with white fish floating on the Cider Lake."

“Since you’ve said so, then of course I won’t insist.” Wendy shrugged. “However, the Ice Queen probably won’t take action for the time being. If the conflict reaches the level of gods, it might not be a good thing for us.”

If your subordinates cause trouble, the gods will protect you and things won't get too out of hand.

But when the gods cause trouble, justice must intervene.

The Ice Queen went to great lengths to orchestrate the Fatui, even going so far as to allocate power to strengthen the executors, clearly indicating that she did not want to take action herself.

At most, they might secretly make agreements with other gods, like a certain Morax. As for Wendy, well, that guy is really unpredictable.

"I guess you'll be leaving soon, so I'm giving you this thank-you gift in advance, so you won't be unable to find me later."

As she spoke, Wendy jumped down from the tree.

"A thank-you gift? What is it?"

"Yes, of course it's something that will benefit you!"

Wendy said with a smile.

Su Zhe leaned back strategically: "Why do I have a feeling you're trying to trick me?"

"Hehe~ Of course not, you're looking into my eyes, it's very sincere, isn't it?"

Wendy leaned closer, her voice suddenly quickening.

"Is it right? Is it right? Is it right?"

"Hey! Don't get so close to me, you old pervert!"

“Old Glass? What’s that?” Wendy paused for a moment. “Anyway, I wouldn’t lie to you. You’ve helped Mondstadt so much and even bought me a drink. Hehe~ I, the Wind God, am not a stingy person.”

“You’re weak right now, hmm… let me think, this is what you need most.”

As she spoke, Wendy raised her hand, and a ball of green energy gathered in her palm.

"This is?"

Su Zhe sensed a powerful wind elemental force emanating from the ball of light.

"Great hero, please accept the blessings of the gods! This is the power of the wind god. With it, you will become strong, defeat the demon, and rescue the princess."

"???"

Seeing Wendy's serious expression, Su Zhe was speechless.

Hey! This is the power of the wind god, not a plate of sweet flower-stuffed chicken. Is it really okay to just send it out so casually?

"real or fake?"

Su Zhe was somewhat skeptical. "Could it be some kind of illusion? And inside is actually the Heart of God?"

Wendy's expression visibly froze.

"H-How could that be? Hehe~ This is power. I see you can also use wind elements, so this ability from the Thousand-Year Flowing Wind can help you."

"Is that so?"

Su Zhe hesitated for a moment, then reached out and probed.

The light was very gentle, and it automatically blended into his body after touching his hand.

"How about it?"

"Hmm...it's alright."
