Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

Shi Tou suddenly realized that he was still too young.

With the boss's abilities, this matter has definitely been accomplished.

"However, I still support Sister Shen He."

As he pondered this, Shi Tou closed his eyes and rested peacefully.

To avoid Shi Tou babbling and talking nonsense, Su Zhe led Xin Hai away from the cave.

"I've located the Evil Eye factory, but the situation isn't too serious yet, so I just need to keep an eye on it. How's the resistance doing? We need to investigate the food issue and try to find the source."

Su Zhe said a lot, but when he turned around, he saw that Coral Palace Xin Hai looked dazed.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Eh? Lord Kyogre? No, no... I'm fine..."

Xin Hai quickly shook his head, but his face was slightly flushed, and he walked with his head down.

Although Su Zhe was used to Shi Tou's nonsensical talk, this was the first time Xin Hai had experienced it firsthand. Big breasts? Big butt? Do her?

No one would dare to say such things in front of her normally. The girl was inexperienced and, although she had studied many books, most of them were related to military strategy and tactics. She rarely read light novels by Yaedo.

However, the girl was still very happy at this moment, after all, Su Zhe had returned.

[Number xx: Lord Kyogre is back today. Although he was being treated by a turtle, I didn't dislike him. Children of the sea must have pure hearts. Energy +10]

"If you're tired, go back and rest. The situation is stable now, so there's no rush."

Su Zhe always felt that Xin Hai looked a little strange.

No way, no way, no one really cares about stones, right?

Useless stones are thrown away without hesitation!

"It's alright, it's alright, Kyoka... I'll walk with you."

"Alright."

Su Zhe didn't have as many thoughts as Xin Hai. He was in a great mood after reaching the fourth level, and he was ready to take a closer look at the problems on Hai Zhi Island.

According to game information, Haiqi Island has been eroded by the phenomenon of 'sacred soil' for many years. The 'spirits' in the soil are attracted by the depths of the Abyss Palace and fall down, causing the soil to turn white and become desolate.

Su Zhe had previously sensed this subtle fluidity while inside the cave.

At this moment, Su Zhe inquired about the specific situation, and since it concerned the survival of Haiqi Island, Xin Hai naturally told him everything.

"According to ancient records, when this phenomenon becomes very serious, it is necessary to perform the Sea God Spirit Festival to reverse the transformation of the sacred land. Lord Omikami left a coral jade branch in the Abyss Palace, through which the Spirit Festival can be performed."

"To make the land sacred."

"Specifically, the soil is degraded due to the loss of spiritual energy. This problem has always existed. The soil quality on Haiqi Island is very poor because too much spiritual energy has been lost, making it impossible for crops to survive."

Xin Hai sighed softly, "We even invited scholars from Xumi to take a look, but we still couldn't solve this problem."

Because the soil is unsuitable, only radishes can be grown on the island.

Most of the grain was purchased from Inazuma.

Seafood caught by fishing would then be used as a form of exchange.

"What you're describing is nutrient loss, isn't it? From a scientific perspective, Haiqi Island is humid and has a lot of moisture. Because of the presence of the Yuanxia Palace, it's essentially hollow at the bottom. Without support, the water carries nutrients from the soil down, causing nutrient loss over time. And since seawater is salty, the phenomenon of seawater intrusion occurs, leaving most of the salt in the soil, leading to salinization. Naturally, it's impossible to grow crops there."

Su Zhe had studied the problem of Haiqi Island before. This phenomenon was not uncommon in his previous life, but now it has a more magical feel to it, plus the fact that Yuanxia Palace is indeed a bit like the underworld.

However, he is, after all, a person with higher education, and should learn to look at problems from a scientific perspective.

"Science? And who is he?"

This was the first time Xin Hai had heard this word, and he was immediately curious.

"Lord Kyogre, where did you get all this information from? Why can't I find this explanation even after checking so many sources?"

"Ahem~" Su Zhe coughed lightly, "You mortals are naturally unable to fathom these principles of heaven and earth."

Suddenly, I realized that the great principles of heaven and earth are complex and intricate, and that human capabilities are ultimately limited. There are some things that should not be accessible to humans.

Perhaps only a demon god like Kyogre could know this.

Thinking of this, Xin Hai hurriedly asked, "Then... Lord Kyogre, how should we solve this situation?"

If the food problem on Umijima Island can be solved, then we won't be so controlled by the shogunate anymore.

“I’ve noticed before that the reason for seawater intrusion may be largely due to the extraction of groundwater. Haizhi Island is only so big, and the island’s inhabitants live in close proximity. Over time, the severe extraction of groundwater can easily lead to the formation of a funnel-shaped depression.”

Xin Hai: "?"

"funnel?"

Xin Hai didn't understand much, but that didn't stop her from being a good student.

"It's a bottom leak. The larger the funnel, the more serious the problem of seawater backflow will be, and it will also cause the land to crack and collapse in some places."

“That is indeed true, Lord Kyoka. I have also noticed this situation. I thought it was due to the effects of the Holy Land, but it seems to be caused by the ‘funnel phenomenon’ you mentioned.”

Xin Hai said excitedly.

I see. I've learned something. She'll remember this funnel so that the people of the Sea God won't panic and be at a loss when they encounter it again.

"The best way to solve this problem is to fill the funnel, seal the flowing spiritual veins after the Spirit Control Ritual, lock the nutrients in the soil, and repair the soil every once in a while. This would involve adding some organic fertilizer, peat moss, and that rice dung... cough cough~ we'll talk about that later."

Using his limited knowledge, Su Zhe managed to find a feasible solution.

Even with this half-baked explanation, Xin Hai listened with great interest, his excitement almost making him spit out his water.

That being said, the theory is there, but the most important thing is filling the funnel, which is almost equivalent to changing the soil structure, and requires a lot of force.

He's Kyogre, not Groudon. He can fly, but he can't control the ground.

However, Oser had previously absorbed billions of Mora, and some of the refined Geo power was fed back to Kyogre, which condensed into a Geo crystal.

The power is a bit weak, far inferior to the power of water elements. Su Zhe wasn't sure if he could recover.

"I'll go to the village and check on the situation first."

There's still some time before the Spirit Festival, so we can try finding a good piece of land, fertilizing it, burning some organic matter, and restoring the soil. Su Zhe remembers two people on the island who are still determined to grow radishes every day, so we might as well let them do it.

Although this world has extraordinary powers, it doesn't mean it's advanced. Ordinary people don't understand what science is at all; all they remember are the experiences accumulated from generations of ancestors.

Certainly, human society progresses step by step by summarizing experiences. However, in a world where gods reign supreme, the development of humanities and knowledge can never keep up with the pursuit of divine authority. If the technological path is misguided, development will be slow.

For example, when it comes to getting water, there's no tap water, not even a water pump.

Su Zhe suddenly had a brilliant idea. He took Xin Hai to the village on the island and built a large reservoir. He then found a blacksmith to hammer in some iron pipes and connect them. Although he didn't understand how valves were made, he still had blacksmithing skills; what he lacked was theory.

After his explanation, the simple valve was made in less than two days.

The water storage problem is not difficult either. There are many mountain springs on the island. As long as the water is brought over and several reservoirs are built, the actual demand for water in a village is not that great.

If that doesn't work, Kyogre is at least the god of the sea, so spraying water is a piece of cake for him.

However, he didn't spray it himself, but let Xin Hai spray it to test it out. It has to be said that Xin Hai's water volume is no less than that of Georka, and it can easily fill a reservoir.

With extraordinary power combined with a little modern technology, the drinking water problem was immediately improved.

Even if not every household uses this method to obtain water, as long as most of them are changed, the intensity of groundwater extraction will be greatly reduced.

Su Zhe didn't feel anything, but this incident was incredibly shocking to the people of Haiqi Island and to Xin Hai. People always like to regard things they can't understand as 'miracles'. To Xin Hai, Lord Kyoka was already a god.

The divine propagation technology brought new life to the people, and with the promotion of the Coral Palace Heart Sea, Su Zhe's reputation as the 'Messenger of the Sea God' grew day by day.

[Number xx: Kyogre's 'tap water' project is a success! He said it utilizes pressure. Kyogre explained that the difference in water level creates a pressure effect, which explains why the reservoir was built so high. Kyogre is truly amazing! Energy +15]

Xin Hai closed the notebook, let out a soft sigh of relief, and a smile spread across her face.

Soil remediation is also underway. Lord Georgá went to see that funnel thing, but unfortunately I couldn't take her with me.

Leaving the secret base, the girl headed towards the Coral Palace.

The situation on Umijima Island is gradually improving. In the coming period, the most important thing is the matter between the resistance army and the shogunate, or rather, the internal affairs of Inazuma.

As long as Inazuma can restore the previous stability, she believes that under Lord Kyoka's leadership, Umijima will become more and more prosperous.

While pondering the resistance's next move, Xin Hai returned to the Coral Palace and saw Lu Zi talking to a soldier inside.

The soldier looked very anxious, so Xin Hai went over and asked what was wrong.

"Lord Coral Palace, it's so good to have you back!"

The sergeant said excitedly.

"what happened?"

"Urgent battle report from the front: the Shogunate army has suddenly gone mad and launched a massive attack. Furthermore, our men have spotted a fleet of Shogunate ships; it seems their target is this area!"

"The Shogunate army's fleet?" Shinkai frowned. "Aren't their ships blockaded around Kaiji Island? Are you sure they belong to the Shogunate army?"

"It should be, the shape of the ship and the flag are correct."

After a moment of contemplation, Xin Hai handed several brocade pouches to a soldier, instructing him to take them to the front lines for Wu Lang and fight according to the instructions on the pouches.

Meanwhile, I summoned the island's garrison. Ever since the last shogunate's blockade of the sea, Shinkai had ordered people to start building ships, just in case.

While their firepower certainly couldn't compare to the Shogunate army, it was still several times better than the fishing boats they had previously operated.

However, Xin Hai had a vague feeling that the shogunate army's sudden attack was a bit strange, especially the fact that they were heading directly towards Haigi Island. She had dealt with the shogunate army for so many years, and it was unlikely that the latter would do such a thing.

The only explanation is that the Fools are behind it all.

A gloomy thought crept into my mind.

Meanwhile, just as a battle was about to break out outside, Su Zhe was advancing along a ley line passage.

"I never expected that there would be such a secret passage in the place where Orobas lived."

Judging from the terrain, it should be downward.

Su Zhe had originally thought about trying to find a way to drill into the place where the groundwater converged and fill the funnel of Haizhi Island.

But now it seems we've gone down the wrong path.

Traveling along the earth's vein channels, it was pitch black all around, with only one path leading to the other.

Finally, in a cave, Kyogre's enormous body emerged.

The dim lighting here inexplicably reminded him of the map of Yuanxia Palace in the game.

"Could they have come to Yuanxia Palace?"
