In Genshin Impact, I'm really not Muzan.

Her body remained motionless, and Ryouko's gaze was fixed on the front, where Tenri, who was also seriously injured, stood.

Tenri and Suzumiya Yu exchanged a glance. She realized that the other had temporarily lost the ability to fight, but she had too.

Moreover, based on their previous encounters, she knew that Ryoumi Yu possessed extremely strong regenerative abilities, so if the stalemate continued, the scales of victory probably wouldn't tip in her favor.

As the saying goes, "Where there's life, there's hope." Even the laws of nature understand this principle. So, with a wave of her hand, she wrapped her body with countless black and red cubes, forming an irregular sphere.

Intense energy boiled in the center of the sphere, and the next second, it suddenly exploded. Ryou thought Tenri was going to kill her, but when the thick smoke dissipated, the other party had already disappeared from the spot.

He extended his senses around him, but no longer felt any trace of Tianli. Although it seemed unbelievable, the facts were undeniable.

Tenri escaped. The outcome of the battle was still undecided, but not wanting to take any risks, she chose to leave as a precaution.

Suzumiya Yu didn't know where she had gone. Perhaps she had gone to the castle tower to take Ying away, or perhaps she had returned to Sky Island. But no matter where she went, she was safe for the time being and would no longer be in danger.

Completely exhausted, Suzumiya Yu collapsed to the ground, while simultaneously observing her surroundings for any approaching monsters.

It's a bit of a shame that I couldn't kill Tianli here. If she comes back next time, she might bring the gods of Sky Island with her to attack me.

This made Suzumiya Yuu feel worried. Tenri was the manager of Sky Island, but there were other gods on Sky Island besides her.

Some of these gods were born on Sky Island and were given the title of god from birth. Others were born on the continent of Teyvat, but through various circumstances, they came to Sky Island and transformed from mortals into gods.

Their power may not be as great as Tenri and the Seven Gods, but they are at least at the level of demon gods. If Tenri leads the gods to attack Ryougu, he will have nowhere to hide.

After all, the entire continent of Teyvat is under their rule. If Suzumiya Yu wanted to escape, she could only go to the Dark Sea, where she might be able to escape the pursuit of the gods and the heavens.

However, the gods of Sky Island do not appear casually. For example, in the war that destroyed Kanria five hundred years ago, only one person from Sky Island, Tenri, went there. The seven gods were just there to accompany them and take a look at the scenery.

However, to everyone's surprise, Kanria's counterattack far exceeded their expectations. [Gold] Rhinedoth used his advanced alchemy to create countless abyssal monsters that swept across the continent.

Among them, the dragon Durin, which once attacked Mondstadt and caused heavy losses to the Knights of Favonius, is one of Rhinedot's masterpieces.

Ultimately, Canria was utterly destroyed in the face of the wrath of Heaven, and Thor and Grass God also died far from home, directly causing a huge change in the entire situation of Teyvat in the future.

If given the chance, Suzumiya Yuu must meet Rhinedot. If he can become her partner, perhaps he can resist the laws of nature and the gods. If not, he can only desperately gain more points and upgrade his battle system to have a chance of survival.

......

Dragging her exhausted body, Suzumiya Yui spent a considerable amount of time returning to Narukami Island.

During this time, he encountered some reckless treasure-hunting groups and nobuters who wanted to get something out of him. In the end, he didn't get anything and instead became food for Suzumiya Yu to restore his strength.

By the time he returned to the castle tower, a whole day had passed.

At this moment, inside the castle tower, Ying, whose injuries had not yet fully recovered, charged towards Ying with her weapon in hand.

Shadow didn't tolerate her either. With a light flick of her wrist, Inahi of Nagikusa knocked her to the ground. If Suzumiya Yu hadn't specifically said she would spare her life, Shadow might have already been killed by her.

"How vibrant you are, even though I've become like this." At that moment, Suzumiya Yu appeared, dressed in tattered clothes. Because he didn't want anyone to see him like this, he deliberately avoided the residents' sight and climbed up from below Inazuma Castle.

"Husband." Seeing Liang Gongyou's disheveled appearance, Ying ignored Ying and stepped forward to check on Liang Gongyou's condition with a worried expression.

"Don't worry, it's just that I've used up a lot of energy. I'll recover in a couple of days." Ryouko gestured for Ying not to worry, then had her stand next to her while she walked straight toward Ying.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Ryoumi smiled slightly, then grabbed Ying's cheeks.

"Where...where did Tianli go?" Ying's eyes showed no joy. She struggled to break free from Liang Gongyou's hand and then created a relatively safe distance between them.

"Ask her. I chased her away, but unfortunately I didn't kill her. It would be troublesome if she came back later." Ryoumi Yu told the truth, since Ying couldn't spread this news.

Even if it were taken out, how many people on the continent of Teyvat would know of the existence of the Heavenly Principle? Probably only the Seven Gods and the remnants of Kanriar would know.

"What do you want?" After confirming that Tenri had not been killed, Ying began to confront Ryoumi. Her current situation was very bad, but this would not make her back down.

"What do I want?" Ryoujiro smiled, moving forward while Ying moved backward until they were cornered. "How about I tell you something interesting?"

Ying's eyes were firm, seemingly unaffected, but Suzumiya Yu's words had already changed his mindset.

"Your brother joined the Abyss Order, right? And they even address him as His Highness. Do you know why? And do you know why Tianli disguised himself as Paimon and infiltrated your side?"

Ying had always wanted to find the answers to these two questions, but she hadn't gotten the slightest clue, especially regarding her brother. To this day, she still couldn't figure out why he had chosen to join the Abyss Order.

What surprised her even more was that Suzumiya Yu knew about this, since Sora rarely showed up in person, and even for large-scale events of the Abyss Order, he would only observe from behind the scenes.

Unless absolutely necessary, he would never appear. Ying knew this very well, because she had tried more than once to use the minions of the Abyss Order to lure Kong out, but all her attempts ended in failure, which greatly troubled her.

Chapter 153 Suzumiya Yuu's Attempt to Persuade Hotaru

Now, Suzumiya Yu says she has something interesting to tell her, which is very likely the reason why Sora joined the Abyss Order, and why Tenri disguised herself as Paimon and infiltrated her side.

She desperately wanted to know the answer, but she didn't show any sign of wanting it, because she couldn't back down. If she did, she would become Ryou Miyako's prisoner.

"You two siblings came from outside the world. When you tried to leave, you were attacked by the forces of Heaven. When you woke up, you didn't know how much time had passed. Your former power was sealed, and you can only recover by acquiring more elemental power."

"Do you know? Your brother was like that too. He woke up in a strange world, lost everything, and started to struggle and gradually regain his strength."

"Like you, he once traveled across the entire continent of Teyvat. He regained his power in the same way as you, and he even had a companion who accompanied him throughout the journey, just like you did before."

Dainesreb was the captain of the last royal guard of Kanria five hundred years ago. He failed to prevent the fall of Kanria and was cursed with immortality. He wandered in the wilderness and later met Kong, and the two embarked on a journey together.

At the end of the journey, Sora joined the Abyss Order for some reason, and Daines Reeb was also deeply affected by something, choosing to become an enemy of the Abyss, which was his former homeland.

Ying knew all this because she had met Sora once in Liyue, and at that time she learned about Daines Reibu's identity and that he was Sora's travel companion.

What Suzumiya Yu said was of no help to her at all, because she already knew all of this, so she felt somewhat disappointed.

However, what Suzumiya Yu said next made her eyes widen in surprise.

"Later, your brother joined the Abyss Order, and the companion who traveled with him chose to become an enemy of the Abyss. Do you know why?" Ryou paused for a moment. "This brings us to another person, Tenri."

“Morax... no, Zhongli should have mentioned wear and tear to you before, right? That’s an internal danger that even the gods can’t resist. It originates from the laws of nature, and even more so from time.”

"In fact, it's not just the Seven Rulers of the World on Teyvat; the Heavenly Principles themselves are also suffering from wear and tear, and it's more severe than anyone else's, to the point that even I can't defeat them."

"Five hundred years ago, during the war that destroyed Kanria, Tianli displayed her strongest power. However, she did so merely to intimidate the Seven Gods and make them feel that her power had not yet begun to weaken."

"However, only Tianli herself knows that her final moment is coming soon. So before she perishes, she plans to find someone who can take her place, and that person is you two, brother and sister."

"Both you and your brother are suitable candidates in the eyes of Heaven, which is why she attacked you who were planning to leave this world. But only one of you can become the creator, while the other is destined for destruction."

"At that time, what will you choose? Will you sacrifice your last remaining loved one, or will you sacrifice yourself?"

Hearing this, Ying began to struggle internally. She didn't want to believe what Suzumiya Yu said, but she kept thinking about the scene of her brother's death.

"Stop talking." She dared not think any further, nor did she want to hear Ryou Miyako continue.

But Suzumiya Yuu wouldn't just stop there.

"Before the abyss submerged the throne, I had an unfinished war with Tenri. Your brother once said something like this, didn't he? The throne belongs to Tenri. Your brother wanted to use the power of the abyss to stop the impending war between siblings."

"However, doing so is useless. Sky Island still has gods whose power is unfathomable and cannot be resisted by a mere Abyss Order. Therefore, you two siblings are destined to fight."

"By now, you should understand, right? If you continue this journey, either your brother or you will die. In that case, why not make a better choice?"

Ying was stunned for a moment. She really couldn't figure out what kind of better option Suzumiya Yu was talking about.

"My goal is actually the same as your brother's: to overthrow the laws of nature. However, his ultimate goal is to embark on a new journey with you, while my ultimate goal is to rule this continent."

“I also want to ascend to the throne of gods and become the creator of this world. Logically speaking, you two siblings should be my rivals. But I don’t want that. To put it bluntly, you are just too weak.”

What Suzumiya Yu said was true. Hotaru was no match for him. It was estimated that only Sora, who had regained her power, would have the strength to fight him.

Sora and Ying possess unlimited potential for growth, and so does Suzumiya Yu. In less than five years, he transformed from an ordinary person into a demon god-level powerhouse. Even the twins cannot match such a growth rate.

His only worry now is that he will die before he fully develops. If he can avoid this, he will be able to ascend to the throne of the creator.

"Why should I believe what you say?" Ying didn't believe Ryoumi. What he said was true, but Ying felt that he would kill them directly rather than let her and her brother go.

Because no matter what, they are all competitors for Suzumiya Yu's ascension to the throne of God, and given his personality, it is impossible for him to allow himself to live.

Her thinking wasn't wrong; Suzumiya Yu did indeed have the idea of ​​killing her, but that would have to wait until he caught a loose hole.

Now, Ying is his bargaining chip to control the Abyss Cult. As long as she is there, Kong cannot do anything to him.

After all, he would rather his sister live than ascend to the throne of a god.

"You don't want to believe me? That's fine." Ryou Miyabi wasn't surprised; he had already prepared for rejection, so he wasn't angry.

"You will eventually realize that your path is a dead end. Only by seeking other methods can you and your brother have a chance to survive at the same time. Otherwise, one of you will inevitably perish."

"I'm trying to give you a friendly reminder, but you're completely unwilling to appreciate my good intentions. It's really disappointing."

With that, Suzumiya Yu turned to leave, leaving behind only this one sentence.

"I'll give you time to think it over. Once you trust me, I'll give you your freedom. But until then, you'll stay in this castle that symbolizes eternity."

Chapter 154 Final Preparations Before Departure

Time flies, and more than a month has passed since the fierce battle between Suzumiya Yu and Tenri.

Suzumiya Yu is making final preparations for going to Liyue. Ying still hasn't given in, so he plans to keep her locked up for a year or two until he returns from Liyue to deal with her.

It's worth mentioning that he spent 500 points in the system shop to exchange for fertility, which means that if he has sexual intercourse with Ayaka Kamisato or Kage without taking any precautions, they may become pregnant.

However, this is also what he wanted to see.

Because he was going to Liyue, and the danger level in Liyue was much higher than in Inazuma, he thought that if he accidentally died in Liyue, he could still leave behind offspring so that his bloodline could be passed down forever.

He just didn't know... whether the child born would be human or a ghost. Ryou Miyako hoped they would be ordinary people, because he didn't want to see his child never being able to see the sunlight for the rest of their life.

......

On this day, Suzumiya Yu came to Sea Prayer Island. He went straight to Coral Palace and then found Heart Sea.

When she heard that Suzumiya Yu was visiting, Kokoro immediately ran out of the house.

"Long time no see, um... how have you been lately?" Xin Hai ran excitedly to Liang Gongyou, but couldn't say anything she wanted to say. She just lowered her head shyly, her cheeks turning red.

The surrounding shrine maidens couldn't help but chuckle at the sight. They had long since guessed the relationship between Suzumiya Yu and Kokoro, since anyone with eyes could see it.

Ever since Ryoumi left, Kokoro has been absent-minded all day. Although she can still complete her work on time every day, she often hides in a corner and keeps giggling to herself, which is really hard to understand.

"Could we find a quieter place? I need to talk to you alone and don't want to be disturbed." Ryouko glanced at the giggling shrine maidens around her, then looked at Kokoro.

“Of course! Please come with me.” Xin Hai immediately agreed, leading Liang Gongyou into the headquarters of Coral Palace, while her mind began to imagine what would happen next.

Arriving at a room where they wouldn't be disturbed, Xin Hai arranged for Liang Gongyou to sit down and brought out tea, preparing to treat her well.

However, a single sentence from Suzumiya Yu almost made her drop the kettle in her hand.

"I'm going to Liyue soon."

"Ah...ah?"
