Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

Ryunosuke Naganohara came out carrying large and small bags.

"You're just too impatient. You do whatever comes to mind. I told you to tidy up properly yesterday, but you wouldn't listen."

"Hehe~ Didn't I come up with a great idea yesterday, Dad? Let me tell you, this time when we go to Liyue for the Summoning Ceremony, we should also promote our shop's fireworks. The market in Liyue is huge; you're going to be a big boss someday~"

"Huh? What did you say?"

"Hey Dad! I'm leaving. Take care of yourself while I'm gone!!"

Ryunosuke Naganohara waved to the girl with a smile.

"Okay, okay, be careful."

"Know it!"

Xiao Gong stood at the entrance, looked up, and was greeted by the golden sunlight.

Today is a perfect day for going out to sea!

...

Mondstadt.

Since the end of the Dragon Plague, the entire kingdom has basically returned to a peaceful life.

The monsters within Mondstadt suffered heavy losses after that ordeal.

The same was true for the Abyss Order; after several waves of attacks, and due to news of the return of the Wind God, they all withdrew from Mondstadt.

Even the Fools were completely eradicated, and it would be impossible for them to return to their previous scale in just a few years.

So Mondl collapsed again.

Breathing in the air of freedom, some people began to take risks, drinking and eating meat. Occasionally, the silhouette of a giant dragon would fly across the sky. The bards in the square were still working hard to earn money for drinks that night, but the sudden singing immediately pulled away the 'guests' they had managed to attract.

"Miss Barbara is here!"

The boy in green suddenly let his hands fall limply and walked weakly toward the direction where he had turned his back to the crowd.

Then someone said, "The Liyue Summoning Ceremony seems to be starting soon," and I immediately tilted my head back, my eyes darting around, and hehe~

At the Knights' headquarters, Qin's mother was working diligently as usual.

Inside the room, two figures, one in red and one in blue, stood in front of the desk.

Qin put down her pen, looked up and said, "The reason I sent you to Liyue this time is twofold: first, to represent Mondstadt in the Ascension Ceremony, and second, to learn about Liyue's culture. Su Zhe told me some things last time that I think make a lot of sense. Mondstadt lacks a sense of crisis, and most people are blinded by the idea of ​​freedom, including myself."

"So, no matter what happened in the past, at least for now, we should do our best to do what we can right. Learning, developing, and progressing all need a direction. Why don't we take Liyue as a reference for now?"

“If you encounter any trouble, and it's not too serious, you can ask Ningguang for help privately. She's my friend, and she said she would help before.”

"And also..."

Qin's mother truly lives up to her reputation as a mother. Like a parent giving advice to a child about to embark on a long journey, she talked for over ten minutes straight without repeating herself.

"Finally, if you see Su Zhe, please give him my regards. Mondstadt welcomes him to come visit anytime."

"Hehe~ I know, I know."

Amber nodded and said, "If you run into Su Zhe, tell him that Commander Qin misses him and asks him to come back and visit."

“Amber, be serious.” Jean said sternly. “It’s Klee who keeps saying she wants to see him.”

"I see. Then why don't we bring Klee along?"

"No, there are so many people at the Ceremony of Invitation to the Immortals. You know Klee's personality. What if Klee causes trouble again in such a solemn occasion?"

Amber thought so too; Claire was fearless except for Jean's mother.

Unless Jean goes with them, who can keep an eye on Klee?

If this thing accidentally throws a bouncing bomb onto the Immortal Invocation Ceremony and plucks off three dragon whiskers from the Rock King Emperor, that would be a huge sin.

Why am I being asked to go?

Yura crossed her arms over her chest.

"Is it really appropriate for me to go on such an important trip?"

It's important to know that representing Mondstadt in the Summoning Ceremony is Mondstadt's image.

No matter what, she is a member of the Lawrence family.

This is likely to draw criticism.

"It's suitable." Qin smiled slightly. "I trust my judgment."

Okay, even if it's not a good match, there's no one else who is.

Lisa? Kayah?

There's nobody here!

In short.

Qin stood up, her face solemn, and said, "I'm counting on you."

"Since you put it that way... then alright."

Yura pretended not to care and said, "It would be good for them to go to Liyue to learn, so that the Knights of Favonius would know where the gap is and not think they are so great at managing Mondstadt."

"Hehe~ Yura, that's great! We can go on missions together again, and we can even take some time to see Kyogre."

"Hmph~ What's so good about it? I don't care whether Kyogre sees me or not... Hey! Amber, how many times have I told you not to suddenly hug me! Damn it! I'll remember this grudge!"

...

...

Liyue Harbor is experiencing its busiest time of the year.

Not only the locals of Liyue, but also people from the seven continental kingdoms, and even people from Inazuma, all try to find a way to visit Liyue.

After all, witnessing a deity descend is an immense honor for most people.

The gods are high above and are rarely seen. It is only when the gods of Liyue descend once a year that we have the opportunity to see them.

Even if they are gods from other countries, it's still an eye-opening experience.

And to be honest, Liyue's strength is inseparable from the influence of the Geo Archon.

A nation is strong only when its gods are strong; this is common knowledge in Teyvat.

Putting aside his strength, Morax is known as the god of wealth, the god of business, and so on.

If one were to glean even a single insight from the Invitation to Immortals ceremony, and by sheer luck were to have a sudden enlightenment, with spiritual energy bursting forth from the crown of one's head, one might just become the next Tianquan Star Ningguang, possessing wealth beyond measure!

Why is Liyue so wealthy? Why are its people so rich? It's all thanks to the Geo Archon!

These factors, coupled with Liyue's own deliberate promotion, have contributed to this trend.

The number of people visiting Liyue these days is so high that they've practically worn down the city gates.

With people and traffic, why worry about not making money?

Therefore, this time of year is the busiest and happiest time for Liyue merchants.

For business people, the most important thing is not the products, but the foot traffic.

Of course, all the products sold in Liyue have undergone strict quality control.

Especially during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, Lord Ningguang personally promulgated regulations, stipulating that any instance of using inferior materials to cheat people would be severely punished.

It is precisely because of the guarantee of good reputation that the influx of people will boost GDP.

However, in the bustling Liyue Harbor, there is a place that, at first glance, always seems to have a cold and gloomy atmosphere, making people afraid to approach it.

——The Hall of Rebirth.

When most people hear this name, they can make some connections to the concept of rebirth, which refers to the process of breaking free from the shackles of past bad karma and gaining a new life.

The task of the Hall of Rebirth is to send those 'guests' away.

Those who want to leave should be sent away, and those who don't want to leave should also be sent away.

One of the hall masters' favorite sayings was: "Eat and drink your fill, and have a safe journey."

At this moment.

A girl wearing a hat with the Qiankun Tai hexagram on her head stood in front of the notice board at the entrance, looking thoughtful.

She seemed to be recalling something, muttering to herself.

"One customer, two customers, three customers..."

"Sigh~ Liyue is packed with people, but our business has declined."

Hu Tao sighed and said.

Beside him, a young ritual attendant said, "Master, this month is the day for the ritual of inviting immortals. Based on past experience, it's normal for business to be sluggish."

Chapter 1: The Emperor's Smile, Life and Death Uncertain >>

The Summoning Ceremony is a top priority for the entire Liyue region.

Even those who were about to die, upon thinking of the Emperor's might, would grit their teeth and endure until the end of the month, so as not to bring bad luck to the Emperor.

Death? You're not allowed to die!

Die later!

It must be said that the power of faith is immense, sometimes more effective than any magic pill.

Every year around this time, the mortality rate drops sharply.

Actually, most of them are people who have gone out on adventures and are returning to participate in the Summoning Ceremony. As the saying goes, if you don't court death, you won't die. Although Liyue is peaceful, the monsters and Hilichurls in the wild are not to be trifled with.

"That's true, but people will still die when it's their turn. Look at last year, some families had someone die, but they refused to hold a funeral and insisted on waiting until after the spirit medium's ritual. By then, the body had already started to stink. It's disrespectful to the dead."

Hu Tao thought for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Hey! I know! What do you think about us organizing a big promotional event? There are so many people in Liyue right now, let's spread the word, and open a reservation service. Even if someone dies out there someday, whether on a high mountain or in the ocean, our Hall of Rebirth will take care of them and send them off safely!"

Yi Guan: "..."

Master, they came to witness the invocation ceremony, yet you're thinking of sending them away?

"I've already thought of a slogan: 'Wang Sheng Tang Grand Sale! Buy one, get one free; buy two, get three free! The more you buy, the more you get!' What do you think?"

Yi Guan's lips twitched, and he said, "I think if we go out and shout like that, our people might get sent away first."
