Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

"Oh? What did you say?"

He said, "If we consider things from the perspective of change, then even heaven and earth cannot last for a moment; if we consider them from the perspective of permanence, then both things and I are endless."

Yae no Miko was slightly taken aback.

Are all demons so knowledgeable?

Did he say anything else?

He also said...it is precisely because of the fleeting beauty that eternity becomes valuable.

The scene before Ying's eyes seemed to remain frozen at the moment when Su Zhe and she finally finished their battle.

Perhaps it was because she hadn't experienced such a battle in a long time that her mindset, which had been immersed in eternity, gradually became 'restless'.

Strangely enough, Ying didn't dislike this restlessness, because it made her feel very real.

Compared to being immersed in the pursuit of eternity, compared to the state where she herself could not even feel her own existence, at this moment, she felt as if she had returned to the past.

And Su Zhe's final words—that is, it is precisely because of the fleeting beauty that eternity becomes valuable.

"My sister said the same thing."

"Shadow said softly."

Yae no Miko was stunned.

Really...?

“Yes, I was obsessed with the eternal way back then, while my sister pursued the beauty of a fleeting moment, believing that the short-lived beauty in the world was more worthy of attention.”

"My sister once said that human life is short and fragile, but we should not underestimate it. Humanity's pursuit of its ideals often shines brightly at some point. It is because of these fleeting moments of beauty that exist among humankind that we can convey an eternal spirit."

“I said, ‘If I die, there will be nothing left.’ My sister said, ‘If I die, someone will remember me.’ Then one day, my sister suddenly said to me, ‘It is because of the beauty of a moment that eternity becomes valuable.’”

"The light of rice is also eternal."

The flashes of lightning in the rice paddies are fleeting, yet eternal.

When Ying recalled the scene that day, she didn't discuss with her whether a fleeting moment or eternity was more meaningful; instead, she said that both were important.

That day, she was so happy that she thought he had truly accepted her pursuit.

Now, hearing Su Zhe say it again, upon careful reflection, was there a deeper thought behind what I really wanted to convey to her back then?

"Hehe~ It seems I was right after all. Su Zhe really is the kind of person who can change Inazuma."

Seeing the expression on Ying's face, a smile flashed in Yae no Miko's eyes, because only now did Ying seem familiar to her.

"Su Zhe?"

Yae no Miko laughed and said, "It's what Kyogre looks like in his human form, but I prefer to call him Su Zhe because he's very handsome in his human form, isn't he?"

Is he handsome?

Ying didn't seem to care about that.

After all, being handsome has no meaning to the gods.

"Sigh~ If I had known you would be like this, I should have brought some wine and snacks. I thought you and Su Zhe were fighting to the death inside, which made me so anxious that I didn't have a proper meal for two days."

Yae no Miko sighed.

Ying's eyelid twitched.

Inazuma's snacks? What could they be? Takoyaki? Takoyaki? And... no, no, those are meaningless things, why think about them?

Ying gently shook her head.

Seeing her expression, Yae no Miko continued to smile: "Since you're willing to let me in, it means you also agree with Su Zhe's words, right?"

"I have no idea."

A look of confusion flashed in Ying's eyes. If it were just "Su Zhe said," it wouldn't have had such a big impact on her.

But it's different when 'my sister says'.

"Divine Child, do you think Su Zhe is right?"

"Well... I haven't researched as much as you have." Yae no Miko shrugged. "But in my opinion, as a god governing a country, one should naturally think of the people. So, what do the people want? That's the best course of action."

"As for other things, instead of wasting this time, why not go out and have some fun, read some light novels, or eat some delicious food? Oh, by the way! Kage! Listen to me, a new seafood barbecue restaurant recently opened in Inazuma City, and it's incredibly delicious!"

Chapter 17 It is precisely because of fleeting beauty that eternity becomes valuable.

Yae no Miko's expression turned excited.

film:"???"

Divine Child, I'm talking to you about eternity, can you please be a little more serious?

but...

Seafood barbecue.

I haven't eaten this in hundreds of years.

"There's also a dessert shop, supposedly run by a chef who learned his craft in Mondstadt. I've heard it has a really good reputation, but I haven't been there yet. How about we go together?"

"Yes...no, Divine Child..."

Shadow's mind suddenly became a mess. The Eternal Barbecue... no, the Eternal Way, which is to be viewed from the perspective of its changes... um, no, that's not right.

Hey~

She sighed: "You haven't changed at all."

"That's not right."

Yae no Miko stopped in front of Kage, gazing at her with a smile, without saying a word.

Until Ying felt somewhat uneasy and became puzzled.

Yae then spoke: "I have changed, but the things you are familiar with about me, the things you find beautiful, have not changed, because that is how your heart reflects your affection for me."

She reached out and hugged Ying, whispering, "This is the beauty of eternity. Even as time goes by and everything changes, there is still beauty that remains. So... Ying, go forward boldly. Don't be afraid. I will always be with you."

The pupil gradually dilates.

Do not be afraid.

She was genuinely scared.

Because along the way, everything we've experienced has only taken away the people closest to us, leaving behind endless sorrow.

That's why she wanted to preserve everything while it was still beautiful, to make it eternal.

But perhaps she really should think carefully about the meaning of doing this.

"Son of God."

"Ok?"

“You just said that Su Zhe is the kind of person who can change Inazuma.”

"Yes, we owe him a lot this time, otherwise Inatsuma would have been in trouble."

"Then tell me, what position should I bestow upon him?"

Yae Shenzi: "???"

No, Shadow, how did your thoughts jump to this point?!

...

"Damn it! You bastard!"

At the castle tower, Tokiharu kicked the roadside tree repeatedly, seemingly trying to vent his anger.

Since she left after not receiving a response from General Lei Dian, she has investigated a lot of things about Su Zhe.

She immediately knew that Yae no Miko was helping her with all of this.

Then, after looking at this information from left to right, I couldn't sleep at all when I got back. I finally saw two words between the lines: talent.

Yes, what did her little whale do wrong?

He helped Inazuma expose the conspiracy of the Fools and the Magistrates, protected the people of the Sea Gods, and defeated the mad scientist of Winter. If this had happened in Liyue, she would have been the first to rush out and reward Kyogre with hundreds of millions.

As a result, when it was Inazuma who was replaced, he became guilty, but that damned Raijin couldn't find a crime to charge him with, so he just locked him up.

￣へ￣

Keqing swore that if she had a simpleton like Thor under her command, she would fire him immediately and send him to sleep on the streets!

Having obtained the evidence, Keqing originally planned to rush up and confront General Thunder.

They didn't see him at all, and were told that the general had gone out on business.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

"What kind of Thor? She can't distinguish between good and evil. They're all gods, but the Emperor is far superior to her!"

Although there have been rumors in Liyue that Keqing is dissatisfied with the Emperor and has questioned him many times.

However, the questions she asked were all based on considerations for Liyue's own development, and she absolutely did not have any personal agenda.

Rather, Keqing is a die-hard fan of the Emperor, but nobody knows it.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a voice rang out.

"The Rock King is certainly powerful, but isn't it inappropriate for Lady Keqing to slander the General like this?"

Keqing turned around and saw Kujo Sara staring at her with a hostile expression.

"who are you?"

“Heaven commands, and the nine-striped robe is worn.”

"So it was you." Keqing snorted. "I've heard about what happened. I can't control what the Sky Envoy does in Inazuma, but since it involves Haiqi Island and important people in Liyue, I have to ask a question."

"Lord Kujo Sara, don't you have anything to say about what happened on Umigi Island? And what did Kyogre do wrong that he has to be imprisoned by your Inatsume?"

Kujo Sara's eyes flickered slightly: "This time the mistake lies with the Tenryo magistrate, which is understandable. The general has already ordered a thorough investigation of the Kujo family, and the head of the Kujo family has been imprisoned. He will be sentenced at a later date."

"As for the Kyogre incident... I'm sorry."

The Kujo family was thrown into chaos, and almost all those in charge were suspended from their duties and investigated, pending further action.
