From the curse back, I started to eat the clone's soft rice

"As for the matter of attacking Narukami Island, there is no rush for now. Let's solve the problem of eating first."

War requires a legitimate reason. Although An Xiu himself doesn't need one, it at least sounds better.

According to An Xiu's understanding of the plot, it won't be long before the shogunate will take the initiative to provide him and Coral Palace Xinhai with a perfect excuse to start a war.

After all, the Eye Hunting Order has not been issued yet.

When the Eye Hunting Order is issued, all the conflicts within Inazuma will erupt. Before that, let Xinhai tidy up Kaigi Island and then wait for the opportunity.

Chapter 156: General Thunder: Inazuma is thriving!

At the same time, Inazuma, Narukami Island.

Inside the castle tower, a tall, purple-haired woman sat quietly in the center with an expressionless face.

She is the apparent deity of Inazuma, the [General of Thunder], a puppet created by the second-generation Thunder God, Rai Dian, who is among the Seven Gods and holds the power of thunder, based on his own body. She is usually responsible for helping Rai Dian govern Inazuma and practice the way of eternity.

Of course, the people of Inazuma naturally did not know that their general was actually a puppet. In the eyes of the Inazuma people and the seven people of Teyvat, General Raiden was the real God of Thunder, and his will was the will of the entire Inazuma.

And the daily work of General Raiden, the half-body created by Lei Dianzi at great pains to govern the country and practice eternity, is very simple. He just sits in the castle tower.

Yes, just sit there and do nothing. Unless someone comes to find her, or there is chaos at the level of demons and demon followers in the Inazuma territory, General Raiden will do nothing.

His understanding of Inazuma depended entirely on the reports from his three magistrates, and the decrees he issued were also implemented by the three magistrates. Regarding the domestic situation, the progress and response of the decrees, basically, whatever the three magistrates said was the truth, and General Raiden would neither doubt it nor try to verify it.

Because in the thinking logic set by Lei Dianying for her, the Three Buggy are trustworthy people. Unless someone from Inazuma runs to petition General Raiden and proves to General Raiden that the Three Buggy are wrong, and that the Three Buggy have indeed violated their mission, General Raiden will not doubt the Three Buggy at all.

However, all the channels for making suggestions to General Lei Dian were basically controlled by the Three Bugei, or Tenryo Bugei and Kanjo Bugei. Even Sha Bugei, who was one of the Three Bugei and did not want to exploit the people like the other two Bugei, could not send memorials to General Lei Dian due to the interception of the other two Bugei, let alone ordinary Inazuma people.

However, it's not that there are no other ways to face General Lei Dian directly. It's indeed impossible to make suggestions to General Lei Dian through normal channels, but you can also take unconventional approaches, such as directly initiating a duel in front of the emperor.

Whether you win or lose, you will have the chance to meet General Lei Dian, but it will be a bit life-threatening.

Although the duel in front of the emperor is not a direct challenge to General Raiden, after all, it is a duel in front of the emperor, and General Raiden is only a witness of the duel. Under normal circumstances, there is someone else responsible for dueling with the challenger, but he must be one of Inazuma's top masters. Ordinary people have no chance of winning at all and are basically doomed to die.

But even if you fail, General Lei Dian will personally send you off. Just tell me whether you saw it or not.

As for whether General Lei Dian would listen to the slander against San Feng Xing by a dying man who had lost a duel... the answer is obviously no.

I can only say that it’s no wonder that Inazuma has become what it is now, given that they have created such a top-notch AI to govern the country.

Oh, no, in the eyes of General Raiden, the situation in Inazuma is very good now. It can be said that the country is peaceful and prosperous. The people of Inazuma are all grateful to the shogunate. When they talk about it, they all cover their faces and cry excitedly. The soldiers of the shogunate are also kind and generous and have fun with the people. The whole country can be said to be thriving.

Problem? There is no problem at all. It is right to practice eternity.

General Lei Dian used his incredible wisdom to go over everything that had happened before in his mind, and found nothing wrong, so he continued to sit in meditation in the castle tower as usual.

No, that's not the case. Ever since the lockdown order was issued, General Raiden has not only been sitting quietly indoors every day, but he has also been constantly using his authority and power to drive and maintain thunderstorms covering the entire Inazuma border, bringing down divine punishment on anyone who attempts to sneak in or out of the thunderstorm.

However, just as General Lei Dian continued to maintain the thunderstorm as usual, she suddenly opened her eyes as if she sensed some changes.

At the same time, the originally clear sky over Ming Shen Island was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and flashes of thunder flashed from time to time.

Such a change naturally attracted the attention of the people of Inazuma on Narukami Island, and they talked about it a lot for a while.

"Why did it suddenly get dark? Could it be that the General is angry?"

"Why did the General suddenly get angry? Who in the whole Inazuma world dares to make the General angry?"

"I don't know which daring fellow has caused the General to be so angry..."

Many people fell into deep thought about this scene, but fortunately, this scene came and went quickly.

But after a moment, the dark clouds dispersed again, as if nothing had happened.

And inside the castle tower, General Raiden closed his eyes again.

Just now, she suddenly sensed that the water element in the entire Inazuma territory had somehow fallen into an abnormally active state. Although it was short-lived and quickly subsided, General Lei Dian was sure that his perception was not wrong.

Whatever the reason, the water element riot on such a large scale is undoubtedly an eternal variable. Therefore, General Raiden took the rare initiative to order the shogunate to thoroughly investigate the source of this change.

After all, the change in the water element just now lasted for a very short time, and the water elements in the entire Inazuma territory were affected at the same time. Even with the demon-level strength of the Thunder General, it was impossible to sense the source in such a short time. The shogunate could only investigate slowly.

Unfortunately, the shogunate who received the order from General Raiden was also confused at the moment. General Raiden, as the other half of Raiden, was a genuine demon-level existence. Even such an existence could only perceive changes in a very short period of time. For the remaining mortals in the shogunate, it was even more confusing.

They couldn't even sense the previous water elemental riot, let alone investigate.

Therefore, although the shogunate took action under the order of General Raiden, it was unlikely to take action. It could only send a large number of people to search aimlessly in Inazuma for anything abnormal.

However, what neither General Raiden nor the shogunate knew was that the so-called water element riot was simply caused by Xinhai's failure to put away the azure orb immediately when he returned to reality from Anxiu's mirror world.

At this moment, the azure gem had been taken into Xinhai's body, so the shogunate naturally had no way to investigate.

......

The perspective turns back to Haiji Island. Almost a day has passed since An Xiu gave the azure gem to Xinhai.

During this day, Coral Palace Xinhai gathered people in a tough manner and announced to Haigi Island that the god of faith would be changed.

From the original belief in the snake god Oropus, they switched to believing in a new god who descended on Umigiri Island, a god from another world with the honorific title of [Gokaiyujinshu Sondaigosho].

Of course, Coral Palace Xinhai did not reveal An Xiu's real name at all, just as An Xiu instructed. The only thing announced to Haiji Island was the title of the god that Coral Palace Xinhai had thought of for An Xiu all night.

Chapter 157: Shogunate Soldier: Are you people from Kaigi Island planning a rebellion?!

In a blink of an eye, a few days passed.

Regarding the change of faith on Haiji Island, the implementation of the Coral Palace Heart Sea was very smooth, and most of the lower-class people did not have much reaction to believing in a new god.

It’s not that changing one’s god of faith is a trivial matter. On the contrary, in the continent of Teyvat where gods really exist, changing one’s god of faith can be said to be a top-notch event, especially at the moment when the seven gods rule the seven countries. For ordinary people in the seven countries, such a thing should be completely unimaginable.

But as mentioned before, that is for ordinary people in the seven countries. The situation on Haigi Island is obviously different from that of ordinary people.

Although Kaigi Island, which has always been an outlier among the Inazuma people, also believes in the Thunder God like other Inazuma people, it still retains the tradition of worshipping the snake god Oropus, and most of the people on Kaigi Island do not have as strong a belief in the Thunder God as other Inazuma people.

Not to mention that due to the national isolation order, most of the people on Haigi Island are now almost reduced to not even having enough food to eat.

Only when people are well fed and warm can they think about sex; only when their granaries are full can they know etiquette. You cannot expect a group of hungry people to have firm beliefs. After all, only those who have truly experienced famine know that people who are about to starve to death are no different from beasts.

Although the people of Haigi Island have not yet fallen to that point, they are not far away. Otherwise, in the original work, even with the help of the Eye Hunting Order, Haigi Island would not dare to form a resistance army and risk being killed by General Lei Dian.

Therefore, in this situation, Anxiu directly asked Makima to mobilize a large amount of food from the spell world through the system's portal, and then transported it through the Shadow Legion.

With the support of an entire modern society, and the productivity of a secretly unified modern society, it is extremely easy to fill the stomachs of the people of Haigi Island.

In just one night, the granaries on Kaigi Island were filled to the brim, and then distributed to ordinary people by Coral Palace Xinhai in the name of the Great Palace of the God of the World.

In response to this, the ordinary lower-class people of Kaigi Island naturally burst into tears and raised their hands to shout out the kindness of the Great Palace of the God of the World.

As for General Thunder and Oropus, the former was the culprit who caused them to fall into such a state, while the latter was still worshipped by them for so many years after his death. The favor they showed was already quite great.

The situation for the high-ranking officials of Haigi Island, apart from the lower-class people, was even simpler. Xin Hai was now carrying the Azure Orb, and all the high-ranking officials of Haigi Island knelt down after just a slight display of power.

Even most of the senior executives are not only not opposed to this, but are also extremely excited about it.

The miracles that actually appeared on the present-day human goddess, the food that appeared out of thin air, and the publicity of Anxiu, the Lord of the World Traveling God, by the Coral Palace Heart Sea, have almost let these high-ranking officials know that these unfortunate people on Kaigi Island, who can be called the abandoned people of Inazuma, have finally welcomed a magnanimous demon god who is willing to protect them.

What a familiar scene! They also welcomed Lord Oropus, the snake god, in times of crisis. The situation is exactly the same as now.

Having similar experiences, these high-ranking officials of Kaigi Island are even less psychologically burdened than the lower-class people. They connect directly and seamlessly, and offer their faith to the Great Palace of the God of the World in the heart of the Coral Palace.

Although most people's faith is still at a shallow level, after all, it has only been a few days, but as long as the Coral Palace Heart Sea can show more miracles in the future, such as attacking Mingshen Island in the name of Anxiu and capturing General Lei Dian alive, then it is not impossible that everyone in the entire Kaigi Island will be converted into fanatical believers on the spot.

Although An Xiu doesn't actually need the faith of these people.

"All we need to do now is to continue to integrate the power of Kaigi Island and then calmly wait for the Eye Hunting Order."

An Xiu spoke in a quiet room somewhere in the Coral Palace.

In fact, in theory, there is no need to even unify the forces of Kaigi Island. After all, if they really have to fight on Narukami Island against General Raiden, the only main force will be Coral Palace Xinhai who possesses the Azure Orb. No matter how many ordinary soldiers there are, they can only serve as cheerleaders in the end.

The reason for going to such lengths was simply to make the scene bigger. After all, there were so many soldiers on the shogunate's side, and it would seem a bit too shabby if there was only Coral Palace Shinkai on the side of Kaigi Island.

"If Mobius knew I put so much effort into collecting research materials for the demon god for her, I wonder if she would be touched."

Standing up from his chair, An Xiu turned his head and looked towards the heart of Coral Palace.

"Anyway, there's nothing to worry about on Umijima Island for the time being. Are you interested in going with me to other places in Inazuma?"

"Is this really okay?"

Hearing this, Xinhai asked.

Since the food crisis on Haiji Island has been resolved, the official pressure on Xinhai of Coral Palace has been greatly reduced. He no longer needs to deal with various affairs from morning to night every day as before. It is natural for him to have no problem accompanying Anxiu on a trip.

However, the people on Kaigi Island were secretly planning a rebellion, but he and Anxiu were brazenly traveling to the area under the jurisdiction of the shogunate, which seemed a bit strange.

"Don't worry. Although we are planning to attack Narukami Island, we haven't taken any action yet. If that's the case, then we are decent citizens and there is no need to feel guilty about it."

An Xiu replied nonchalantly. Xin Hai thought about it and found that it was indeed the truth, so he nodded.

However, before the two of them could move, there was a sudden noise outside the Coral Palace, attracting the attention of An Xiu and Xin Hai.

Xinhai immediately walked out of the quiet room, came to the outside of the Coral Palace, and looked in the direction where the noise came from.

I saw a group of people from Kaigi Island, led by Goro, surrounding several samurai wearing shogunate armor, with very unfriendly expressions.

"Goro, what's going on?"

Seeing this scene, Xinhai stepped forward and asked Goro.

"Master Coral Palace!"

When Coral Palace Xinhai arrived, Wulang's expression suddenly relaxed a little, but he still looked indignant.

Since at this time Coral Palace Xinhai had not yet claimed to be the military advisor of the resistance army as in the original plot, Goro did not address Xinhai as the "Military Advisor" in the original plot.

"Sir, these shogunate soldiers are going too far. They're forcibly searching Umigi Island under the pretext that the Shogun is investigating unpredictable events within Inazuma, and they're even trying to take our food!"

Upon hearing this, several surrounded shogunate warriors immediately looked displeased.

"How dare you! How dare you question the General's orders? Haiji Island secretly stored so much food. We seriously suspect you are involved in the variables the General is looking for."

"Tell me, you people from Haiji Island are planning a rebellion by hoarding so much food for no reason?!"

...

PS: There will be another update around 8 am.

Chapter 158: Haiji Island senior officials: Lord Coral Palace, we respect and love you!

Are the people of Haige Island planning a rebellion? This is an intriguing question.

When the leading shogunate warrior asked this question, whether it was Coral Palace Shinkai, Goro, or even the other people from Kaigi Island around them all fell into a strange silence.

However, it was obvious that the several surrounded shogunate warriors did not realize the seriousness of the matter. After all, everyone knew that Kaigi Island was a remote and poor place with scarce supplies. How could a group of islanders entrenched there have the courage to resist the shogunate that represented the will of the shogun?

The reason they said this was simply to put a label on the other party so that these unruly people would not dare to think of resisting, and it would be convenient for them to get some benefits for themselves besides their work.

"Master Coral Palace?"

At this moment, Goro, who was standing next to Xinhai, looked at several shogunate warriors with a sharp gaze, and at the same time showed an inquiring expression to Coral Palace Xinhai.

In response, Xinhai shook his head and then took a few steps forward.

"It seems you've all developed some unnecessary misunderstandings about Umijima. Everyone knows the Shogun's authority rests with Inazuma, so how could we dare harbor any ill will against the shogunate?"

"Hmph, that's best."

Several shogunate warriors remained tough and obviously had no intention of giving up.

Coral Palace Xinhai could only sigh in his heart and then waved his hand.

"Goro, take these friends from the shogunate to the teahouse to rest first. Have the attendants treat them well. I'm sure they're tired after their journey, so why not sit down on Umijima Island for a while and then continue your journey when the time comes."

"As you command, Master Coral Palace."

In this situation, even a stubborn person like Goro was somewhat aware of Coral Palace's plans. He immediately adjusted his attitude, took orders, and left with several shogunate warriors.

Several shogunate warriors still didn't understand the situation at this time. They just thought that Haigijima was smart and wanted to give them some benefits, so they left without any doubt.

After doing all this, Coral Palace Xinhai turned around and returned to the quiet room.

"Lord Anxiu, judging by the current situation, it seems the shogunate won't let us wait peacefully any longer."

Coral Palace Xinhai said with a headache when he returned to An Xiu again.
