Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Log

As is well known, the miniature garden is based on the theory of [three-dimensional, intersecting, and parallel worlds]. Simply put, truly capable deities can see the future, and similarly, humans can enter the miniature garden at points in time, past, present, and future.

For example, Kasukabe Yo was born in a future that truly ushered in peace.

But for some reason, recently the possibility of a truly peaceful [future] has been decreasing.

Then the big shots couldn't help but explore the cause and effect, and found that the completion of the "Third Perpetual Motion Machine", the breaking of "Absolute Evil", and the breaking of the "Closed World" were all necessary conditions for reaching the "future" where Kasukabe Yo was.

Two hundred years ago, Canary and his companions did not break the trial, but rather found a way to reduce the probability of the "closed world" appearing to zero, thus eliminating it.

This approach has also directly led to a significant reduction in the possibility of reaching that [future].

The members of [Arcadia] were key to bringing these things together, which is why people like Canary, Kasukabe Takaaki, and others were exiled to the outside world!

Exiling Canary to the timeline of Izayoi Sakamaki was to ensure the completion of the "Third Perpetual Motion Machine"; exiling Kasukabe Takaaki to a truly peaceful future was also to ensure that this future could continue to exist stably. Moreover, Kasukabe Takaaki was the leader of "Arcadia". Exiling him to the future was also the gods' way of hoping that he could understand this intention and maintain the overall situation.

As for the groups involved in this matter? Heh~ The big shots discovered it, so of course all the groups were involved.

However, the upper echelons of the gods also valued their reputation, so they did not involve the core members. Instead, they had people take the lead in guiding the bad apples in their respective systems, such as troublemakers and Maxwell, to cause trouble in the open.

He was in charge of leading, or rather, one of the founders of the Demon King's community, 'Ouroboros'.

It is Krishna, one of the seventeen omnipotent realms of the Little Garden, the eighth avatar of Vishnu, and the original source of the savior thought.

In their own words: "This is a necessary sacrifice made for a future of true peace!"

[Liang Bing: To put it another way, compared to the future, Arcadia is nothing, right? That's fucking disgusting!]

[Black Tower: This is like being cursed by knowledge after learning it, forming a certain mindset. Similarly, knowing the future can also be cursed by 'fate,' making one feel that what one knows is correct. But I don't understand, since the possibility of reaching the future diminishes, it means the future is uncertain and can be changed. Why insist on a predetermined future?]

[Silver Wolf: Why else? It's easier. If there's an answer, why not just copy it? Besides, isn't this exactly what the upper-level gods of the Little Garden have always been doing? No matter what happens, as long as humans suffer a little, the gods have it much easier.]

[He Xi: More importantly, as an exploited class, they did not resist until their deaths, which is the most tragic thing.]

[Kudou Asuka: But things are better now! Although we know these things are infuriating, we're already fighting back!]

[Kasukabe You: And... I finally understand why there's a saying, 'The dragon slayer will become the dragon.' Knowing this, I really have a desire to destroy the gods and enslave them!]

Gu Jing: That's normal. Everyone has a bit of backbone, right? But like I always say, leave the bullying and oppression to me. To borrow my wife Rita's words: "Leave the troublesome stuff to me, don't get your hands dirty."

[Rita: Pfft~ Captain, you're the new 'Darkness of the Garden'?]

[Xingbao: Now that you mention it, it definitely has that feel to it.]

[White Demon: Look, me, Shadow!]

[Gu Jing: Bai, you regret it!]

Everyone: "..." 6! (Facepalm and crying with laughter.jpg)

They were both amused and exasperated by this. Asuka Kudo and the others involved were genuinely moved. Compared to their previous idea of ​​pushing Black Rabbit out to take the blame, they now felt that they couldn't let the disgrace of the Little Garden get away with such a good thing.

At the same time, Di Shitian, who had been spared by Gu earlier, finally returned to the upper level of the Garden of Impressions.

PS: The picture shows Naxi Da.

Chapter 395 Liang Bing: You really are a genius!

In the upper level of the miniature garden, in the conference room on the top floor of the high-rise building, representatives from various divine groups received a notification from Indra and were to attend the meeting again.

Athena, one of the twelve Olympian gods of Greece; St. Peter, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus in the Bible; Taibai Xingjun of Taoism; Halloween Queen, representing Celtic mythology at the meeting; and the remaining twelve guardian deities, etc.

The representatives of the gods attending this meeting were all high-ranking deities, but the atmosphere of the meeting seemed particularly strange under the live broadcast.

Because this incident was so terrifying, the major deities joined forces to form a million-strong heavenly army and 1 divine beasts. The six war gods in charge of leading the army were Indra, Rakshasa, Vaisravana, Michael, Gabriel, and Ares. However, less than an hour after leading the army to conquer the lower realms, only Indra returned in a sorry state!

That was only because they were willing to show mercy; in reality, they were wiped out in a single encounter!

To be able to manipulate six three-digit deities along with a million-strong heavenly army at will, the opponent must be at least a two-digit figure!

What level is the two-digit number? Simply put, it's the universal truth, the concept of God! To be more specific, it's a realm that can only be reached by an being who has incorporated all powers into themselves, where everything they say is known!

But don't think that all two-digit numbers are strong, because how strong a two-digit number is often depends on how big that [cosmological view] is.

In contrast, while the spiritual rank of the three-digit deities in the Little Garden is fixed at the level of the Sun God, some two-digit deities are not necessarily a match for the three-digit ones, wouldn't you say? Typhon, who was defeated head-on by Zeus?

However, Gu Jing was clearly not as weak as Typhon, but the gods present all felt that there was no major problem.

Because even the Little Garden has double-digit big shots! Even if the sky falls, there are still tall people holding up the heads of these gods!

The key points of the current situation have been summarized.

Athena clarified the meeting's theme: "In any case, we currently only have two choices before us—"

"Either continue to escalate the battle and determine a victor."

"Either negotiate peace with the other side now."

There was no other choice.

Upon hearing this, the representatives of the various god groups nodded. However, they had differing opinions on whether to fight or make peace.

The deity who felt this matter was worth discussing also gave his reasons: He clearly possessed the power to annihilate a million heavenly soldiers but didn't do so, and even sent Indra back to the upper realms to relay the message. This might be enough to show that the other party probably didn't want to further escalate the conflict. Besides... whether it's the deities or humans, their primary goal at this stage is ultimately to overcome the [Final Trial of Humanity]. So why can't they join forces?

The opposing deities scoffed: A powerful alliance? If they truly intended this, they wouldn't have seized the land and people of the Little Garden through war in the first place! What? You say this is flexing muscles, demonstrating the value of cooperation? Then why did they detain a million celestial soldiers this time? And why did they send Indra back to the upper realms to tell them to ransom people? This is clearly extortion! Taking advantage of someone's misfortune!

Thinking back to the first letter someone sent, which claimed to be from another world.

They gained the upper hand in the debate, and the hawkish gods even gave Gu Jing a nickname: the despicable outsider!

Of course, they didn't call him by his name because they didn't know Gu Jing's name, and... they were actually afraid of being sensed by the big shot!

Moreover, despite the debate, before actually taking action, they had to consult the elders of the Little Garden. However, they received news from the elders that would shake the gods for a hundred years—the elder Kurima had gone missing!

In this light, the other party is truly... no, a respectable stranger! They should be a distinguished guest who has traveled a long way to reach us!

Peace talks? Forget it! If you can make the big boss Kurima disappear without a trace, can't you just quietly get rid of these small fry?

Extortion is an insult! And you want to negotiate peace? Have you no shame? You should take this opportunity to hand over your surrender!

******

The live stream provided a glimpse into the hawkish leaders' behavior at the meeting—from their initial arrogance to their later obsequiousness—and the viewers were thoroughly entertained.

[Hu Tao: In this dog-eat-dog world, only the strongest fists are truly strong! *winks and smiles*]

[March 7th: However, their instant surrender was a completely unexpected turn of events. What kind of feeling does this give off? They're genuinely bad, but they're also willing to admit it! Trying to take them seriously feels like bullying the weak! Laughing and crying.jpg]

[Xingbao: You're right! I thought kneeling down and begging for mercy in front of the Heavenly Army was the pinnacle of the Little Garden, but I didn't expect there were still experts! (doge.jpg)]

[Yingmei: I can only say that whether you're a human or a god, the longer you live, the more you cherish your life.]

[Ruri Gokou: But this is so spineless!]

[Black Tower: I'm too lazy to comment. I'm more curious—what will you choose? Will you accept or decisively reject @Canary, @Kudou Asuka, @Kasukabe Yo, @Black Rabbit, @Ladycia, @White Demon?]

[White Demon: Sigh~ In the end, I've always been someone who only needs to eat my fill, not worry about the rest of the family. But after eating the Three-Colored Dumplings recently, I feel like life is much more colorful! So as long as the Three-Colored Dumplings are enough to fill me up, I'm fine with anything!]

Leticia: +1

[Black Rabbit: I'll listen to Lady Canary!]

[Canary: Heh~ Then please give me some time to consider. I will make a choice before noon tomorrow.]

If the upper echelons of the Little Garden decide to surrender, it means that the war has actually been won. But for Canary, Arcadia, which represents her dreams, is gone. The belief that sustains her is revenge. Does accepting the surrender count as completing her revenge?

And... what happens after that? Should she continue living? And what should she do if she does live? The canary was confused.

Just then, as if suddenly remembering something, the canary sitting in the office looked around and suddenly fell silent.

[Canary: Shouldn't it be our shift time now? Where are you, Gu Jing?]

[Gu Jing: It's the weekend, Ms. Canary. There's absolutely no way I'm working overtime on the weekend. Besides, I've resolved the emergency. After completing my heroic work, I think I can at least enjoy myself a bit.]

[Qingque: That makes sense! What child cries every day? Humans aren't machines; how can they work overtime every day?]

[Lisa: Pfft~ To be honest, people like us aren't really the type to settle down and work every day. My darling @Gu Jing, I'm planning a witch's tea party at Chen Ge Hu, wanna come join us?]

[Tsunade: Witches sound glamorous, but what's the point of a tea party? Let's play dice and bet on whoever loses—the kind where you have to take your clothes off!]

[White Demon: Hey, don't you guys even respect me? He's still in the Little Garden, how could I possibly give him to you!]

********

As the conversation progressed to this point, the live stream shifted from the upper level of the miniature garden to Gu Jing's location. The entire scene was a visually appealing Japanese garden, which was also the residence of the White Demon.

There were artificial hills and vegetation. In the long corridor, Gu Jing sat with Bai Yacha in his arms, basking in the sun. Bai Xueji, dressed in a maid outfit, stood dutifully by their side waiting.

Meanwhile, in the pavilion in the courtyard, Princess Iron Fan and Uesugi Kenshin, who had just been captured that day, gradually lowered their guard under the persuasion of Poriti and Kurima. Listening to Poriti tell the love story of Gu Jing and White Yaksha, and watching the two embrace each other and enjoy the peaceful scene, the two new captives also showed very gossipy expressions.

[Canary: Since that's the case, I can't let you continue working. But I have one more question. Now that we've almost finished dealing with the matters concerning the small garden, what are your plans next?]

[Gu Jing: This brings up a question I've been pondering for a long time, and before that, I'd like to ask everyone to watch a previous video.]

As he spoke, Gu Jing also played the content of "Two Gunmen" in the live broadcast room. On the surface, it was about Ling Hua and Xiao Gong coming to Fontaine to film a movie.

It actually involves a revenge story. It is said that there was a wealthy businessman's son whose mistress had borne him two children and wanted to elope with him. However, eloping would mean losing his inheritance rights. After much deliberation, the rich second-generation couldn't give up the family business that was within his grasp, so he decided to hire an assassin to get rid of her.

·· ·····Requesting 0 flowers ······

To avoid being discovered by the killer, the mother hid her two children under the floorboards and fought the killer to the last moment of her life.

Later, the two children grew up, but at first they had no chance to take revenge. It wasn't until the older brother's novel "The Two Gunmen" became a hit in Fontainebleau and was about to be made into a movie that the opportunity for revenge came.

The most controversial part is the ending—in a pitch-black room, through the combined efforts of Chavory and the blonde aunt, the businessman Maurice is forced to confess to the crimes he committed years ago at gunpoint, but this also prevents Veronica from killing him on the spot and leads to their arrest.

When Veronica questioned why she had stopped her, Chavore gave the following reason: "Reality cannot be judged by pure retribution; that would lead to a cycle of revenge, [rules] would cease to exist, [society] would cease to exist. Reality has its own set of justice and laws, which is why Fontaine is called the Land of Justice. Besides, I assure you, this guy won't have a good time in Mello Petersburg."

Veronica, who was arrested on the spot, said, "Justice hasn't come to him, at least not today..."

Upon hearing this, both Aunt Huangmao and Xia Worei fell silent.

********

After watching the nearly two-hour video, it was almost dusk. Politip and others, as well as Heita and others in the live broadcast room, all watched with great interest. Xia Worei, one of the parties involved, couldn't help but speak up.

...... . ...

[Xia Worei: That's something I would definitely say, so... this is the future? But more than that, I'm actually more curious about what you're trying to express with this @Gu Jing.]

Gu Jing: To put it simply, the first question that comes to mind from this story is, is justice delayed justice still justice?

I think everyone has their own answer to this question.

Moreover, strictly speaking, law enforcement agencies don't actually uphold justice—people often assume that is—but they are primarily maintaining order, an order that allows society to function stably and sustainably in the long run.

[Kudou Asuka: Now that you mention it, it does smell like that, but what can we do? We can't possibly stop it before it even starts.]
