Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Log

As he spoke, he raised his hairspray and styled his wind-blown hair into a powerful slicked-back look. Under the horrified gazes of Princess Iron Fan and the other gods, crack, snap—the entire world shattered like a broken mirror, exploding into pieces!
In a daze, their vision returned, and the gods, including Indra, found themselves back in the positions they had been in before the great battle began.
Besides the fact that the sky, which had been covered in dark clouds, had returned to its clear and sunny state, the celestial soldiers who had just been swallowed by the giant Kun had reappeared beside them, and were still groping their bodies in shock, as if checking if they were missing any limbs.
To be honest, the sweating gods, including Indra, were completely unable to tell whether the scene before them was real or not.
Until the chains of [Constraint] firmly bound these celestial soldiers and divine beasts, Gu Jing's figure flashed in front of the group of celestial soldiers.
Looking around, apart from his sister-in-law who looked ashamed and indignant, almost everyone else turned their heads away the moment their eyes met, not daring to look him in the eye.
"Logically speaking—"
"To those who come knocking on our door."
"I should have just dealt with it directly."
"However, considering that you have worked hard all these years, even if you haven't achieved anything great, we will still take this opportunity to help you."
"I've decided to give you a chance."
"Let this Indra be."
"Go back to the upper levels and inform the gods behind you to come and redeem the people."
"We'll discuss the specific price later."
"But remember one thing."
"I need to see representatives from all the major god groups before this time tomorrow."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for not waiting for you when the time is right."
"Do you understand?"
Under Gu's gaze, Di Shitian, whose expression grew increasingly dejected, did not hesitate and immediately transformed into a streak of light and left. Apart from Black Rabbit, who was somewhat conflicted, the people watching the live stream were very excited, and various comments flew around.
[Hu Tao: Good heavens! I thought I could loosen up my muscles today, but you, Jing, took care of everything in one go @Gu Jing?]
[March 7th: I just thought these heavenly soldiers were really gone, but Ah Jing suddenly dispelled the illusion, which really caught me off guard!]
[Ji Yueliang: Me too! I thought A Jing was using [Bright Moon Rising Over the Sea]! But he really showed off, it gave me goosebumps! So cool!!!]
[Liang (Nuodehao) Bing: Don't even mention it! When that huge fish opened its blood-red mouth just now, I almost peed my pants!]
[Kaguya Houraisan: But you know what, this is the first time I've ever heard that Lord Kei knows rope bondage! My sister-in-law is blushing!]
[Kasumigaoka Utaha: As a Yashu native, of course Kei-kun will use the Yashu binding method! lol.jpg]
[Xiao Wu: I've learned so much weird and wonderful stuff again! Laughing and crying.jpg]
[Spider: Ugh~ I'm used to it. As long as I'm in the live stream, those weird bits of knowledge always manage to sneak into our brains—I mean, our brains—in some underhanded way!]
[Kudou Asuka: But speaking of which, this time the prisoners we captured are from all the major god groups, shouldn't we start interrogating them?]
[Silver Wolf: Pfft~ You almost forgot, you wanted to know which god group destroyed Arcadia, right? That's perfectly reasonable, but what about the promised reward? (Post)]
[Xingbao: That's right, that's right. If you want someone to help you, you have to show sincerity. We don't accept freeloaders. (Winking emoji)]
[Kasukabe You: Kuro Usagi-san @Kuro Usagi, you didn't want this either...]
[Black Rabbit: No! I want to!]
[Kudou Asuka: Great! I choose you!]
Kasukabe Yō: We will always remember the sacrifices made by Kuro-tsuna!
[White Demon: We can even help you push your butt @Black Rabbit!]
[Black Rabbit: ???]
Pfft~ You can totally imagine how bewildered Black Rabbit must be right now, and people in front of the screen couldn't help but laugh out loud.
PS: The picture shows a black rabbit.
Chapter 394 He Xi: The most tragic thing is that the exploited died without resisting.
It was clearly a major battle that could change the existing landscape of the Little Garden, but it felt like it came and went in a hurry. Moreover, for Kudo Asuka and the others, the real trouble was not the battle itself, but the impact of the battle.
Because everyone clearly saw that when the Heavenly Army attacked, more than half of the people knelt down and begged for their lives on the spot.
To put it nicely, it's a wise person who knows when to yield; to put it bluntly, it's just that they've been kneeling for too long and are spineless!
Gu Jing: This matter reminds me of the Battle of Guandu during the Three Kingdoms period. Yuan Shao led an army of 100,000 to attack Cao Cao. At that time, although Cao Cao had begun to use the emperor to command the princes, his actual military strength was only 20,000.
Before the great battle even began, Cao Cao's officials and powerful families felt that they were no match for Yuan Shao, and a considerable number of them panicked and wrote letters of surrender to him.
And what happened? Cao Cao won, and won by a large margin. When the news reached them, these same people were the most panicked.
Because the surrender letter they sent earlier was evidence of their collusion with the enemy.
So what did Cao Cao do? Surprisingly, he publicly burned these surrender letters, thus laying the foundation for a stable overall situation.
[Kudou Asuka: So... we'll just pretend nothing happened?]
Gu Jing: No, the situation is different. The key issue is not how magnanimous we are, but whether we still need these spineless people.
If you don't want to keep these guys around, it's actually quite simple: either exile them or bury them to avoid wasting food.
If we still intend to keep it, Cao Cao's approach serves as a reference. Aren't there security cameras on the streets? We could burn it too, but that alone isn't enough; there must be punishment to reduce the likelihood of this happening.
[Narcissus: To what extent does punishment need to be applied to be effective?]
Gu Jing: Well, I understand. If they hadn't lived without dignity in the Little Garden before, how could they have chosen to kneel down and beg for mercy at the very first moment?
Besides, choosing to surrender actually means these guys aren't truly loyal. To put it bluntly, what we need to do is win them over, and then we'll deal with the specifics later. Who knows, these guys might even be eager to be punished!
Everyone: "..." Red mud? O_o
There was a hint of amusement in Gu Jing's words, and those who didn't understand were eagerly watching in the live stream. As the executor, Kudo Asuka immediately made arrangements according to Gu Jing's instructions.
******
At the city hall, Kudo Asuka first praised those who did not kneel down and beg for mercy. Those who were praised stood tall and proud.
They then talked about how some people had even knelt down and begged for their lives. When this was mentioned, many people at the scene lowered their heads in shame. Kudo Asuka gave Kuro Usagi a wink, signaling her to organize a team and have these guys go and receive their punishments.
As Gu Jing had just said, those who felt ashamed rushed to be punished, and... they even knelt down again!
The entire square was a sea of people. The children, confused by the situation, were also being forced to kowtow by the adults around them. Just as Asuka and the others were getting a little angry about this scene, Gu Jing's voice reached everyone's ears:
"It seems you still don't understand why you are being punished."
"Just to put it simply."
"People probably can't understand this."
"Take the gods that everyone considers sacred and inviolable, for example."
At this point, Gu Jing pointed in a direction, and looking towards the industrial area, people witnessed a scene that shattered their worldview.
Millions of celestial soldiers and numerous divine beasts were kept under the guard of the [Star Empire] soldiers, forced to do hard labor and build industrial zones, and were occasionally whipped and cried out in pain!
"As you can see, they are now my prisoners too. If they try to slack off while working, they will be whipped!"
"Don't you think that the gods who are high above are actually not that special?"
"But why would you have such a thought?"
"Because, at that moment, these high and mighty gods abandoned their dignity."
"However, once dignity is abandoned..."
"Even these naturally divine beings can fall to the mortal realm!"
"You are the same."
"It is precisely because you previously abandoned your dignity."
"That's why they were punished."
"But it's not just me or everyone around me."
"We do not need you to kneel down to show us respect."
"Dignity is the most precious thing in life."
Never give up.
Do you know what I mean?
Upon hearing this, a smirk appeared on their faces, and the people who were kneeling together mustered up their courage and stood up. To be honest, they were all quite relieved to know that they would not be driven away.
But at this moment, they felt no sense of relief, but rather a profound sense of honor in being citizens of the Star Empire!
Because the truth is just as Gu Jing said, and as they saw with their own eyes, even gods can fall to earth if they abandon their dignity!
However, the Empire of the Stars not only granted them dignity, but also placed them in a higher personal status than even the captive gods!
For a moment, people in the square, as well as those hiding in houses who could hear the sounds, were all moved to tears.
Gu Jing then gave his final summary: "Now it seems that everyone understands what dignity is. So, let me reiterate: if you still want to stay in our [Star Empire], then you should consciously join the ranks of labor reform."
"Remember this: punishment is not about venting anger, but about fairness. Good performance is rewarded, and bad performance is punished."
"If we admit our mistakes and correct them, we can live with dignity and pride from now on."
What do you think?
"Hmm!" xN
At that moment, everyone in the square, as well as those who came out of the houses, responded with tears in their eyes.
It was at this moment that Gu Jing publicly burned the video, which moved people even more. But surprisingly, their loyalty soared to over 80, and Gu Jing even made a profit from it.
Because for the earth's veins, memories and emotions belong to the realm of human power. The emotional outburst in front of us directly contributed nearly 1000 million energy points to Gu from a million people!
Feeling pleased about this, Mr. Gu also sent a red envelope containing 100 million energy points in the live stream.
After receiving the red envelope and learning the reason behind it, everyone in the live stream was both amused and exasperated. In a sense, this is truly a perpetual energy source! Inexhaustible!
******
That afternoon, Gu Jing also interrogated Michael, Gabriel, Princess Iron Fan, Uesugi Kenshin, and Ares in the prison.
As it turned out... we did learn some inside information from them, but this inside information was not something people could accept.
