Still playing traditional Genshin Impact?

The edge of the sea.

A purple bolt of lightning that seemed to penetrate heaven and earth descended from the sky, instantly transforming into a sea of ​​thunder that submerged everything and killed all the beast hounds on the island.

Even though she was in mid-air, Kujo Sara could still feel the surging and violent fluctuations of the thunder element. Even though she was quite accomplished in the power of thunder, she still couldn't help being shocked at this moment.

She knew that Xie Yan was very strong, but as those Xumi people who were good at stealing said, Xie Yan became a god in Xumi after all, and the abilities in his blood destined him to have similar characteristics to the God of Grass, so he and Nashida had a sister-brother relationship. From the perspective of ordinary people, Xie Yan should be best at the grass element.

But this is also good, which means Xie Yan still has the closest relationship with Inazuma.

Kujo Sara finally breathed a sigh of relief. According to the rules of the shogunate, she had to report to the Shogun after returning to Inazuma. In this way, she could hold her head high today: Shogun, I have defended the first tower!

As for his relationship with Nashida as a brother, I don't think the general will mind.

Moreover, Kujo Sara felt that Xie Yan raised Nashida as his daughter, but the other party did not think so. Facing her aunt...sister, Nashida also treated her as her brother's wife.

To put it another way, even though Nashida was extremely dependent on that mysterious white-haired lady, she still treated her as her brother's wife.

This network of relationships is too complicated, and Kujo Sara can't understand it anyway. She vaguely feels that the character of this little grass god has undergone subtle changes after becoming a qualified ruler.

But Kujo Sara firmly believed that the gods' actions must have a purpose, just like Xie Yan's current divine thunder that was raining down on the island.

"Wait, Xie Yan, aren't you destroying the island by doing this?" Yingmei beside him couldn't help but ask.

Didn’t we agree to build Inazuma? This divine thunder did kill the monster, but with a sea of ​​thunder of this size, the island will also be destroyed, right?

Xie Yan controlled Susanoo to continue flying past, and while Ying was speaking he shared his perspective with her through the Attachment Contract.

After the abilities of Pain's Six Paths were localized, they became six gods' followers, and many of their abilities were also retained.

This unique ability of shared perspective made Ying stunned for a moment, but she soon discovered that the island submerged by the divine thunder was actually intact. If you look closely, you will find that the island seems to have been purified. The black fog symbolizing the power of the abyss has disappeared, while the vegetation on the island is lush and vibrant.

"Thunder represents destruction, but it also brings new life, and the grass elemental force is the symbol of vitality. I used this characteristic to fuse the two divine powers of thunder and grass together, creating an effect of purification and giving vitality."

Just like the sisters Ying and Zhen have different understandings of the law of thunder, thunder in Xie Yan's eyes means destruction and rebirth, and the intensified reaction of thunder grass perfectly demonstrates this characteristic.

The main reason for being able to do this was that the experiments in the state of the Jinchūriki of the Divine Tree allowed Xie Yan to understand the fusion of multiple elements. Later, the Great Merciful Tree King taught him how to finely control the divine power, allowing him to start walking his own path.

Yingmei seemed to understand something after hearing this and fell into deep thought as she looked at the island full of vitality.

During her travels so far, she has recovered some of her past strength and has collected all four elements, but in fact the elemental power of Teyvat is not a power system that she has mastered, so when she first came into contact with the Seven Days Statue, she felt it was "very weird".

And when I started to master the elemental power, learned elemental combat skills and elemental bursts at Xingluo Lake, it was all under Paimeng's guidance... Hmm? Wait, Paimeng, you always said you don't know martial arts, but now you can't hide it, right?

After looking at Paimeng with suspicion, Ying lowered her head and fell into thought. Xie Yan's fusion of elemental forces inspired her. There was no need to say much about the intensification of thunder and grass. She had also seen the explosion formed by Xie Yan's interweaving of thunder and fire before.

Now that she has mastered the four elements, even if wind and rock cannot react, she can use thunder grass like Xie Yan. Moreover, she also has divine power and can directly copy skills.

No, copying your own master doesn't count as copying... Ugh, Xie Yan is such an arrogant guy, he even took away her backbone yesterday. Yingmei has no psychological burden about copying him.

Explosive copying!

While she was thinking, Xie Yan had already purified all the small islands outside.

These islands are also shown in the game, and usually there are one or two treasure chests or divine pupils buried there, but at this time they have become the targets of attack by monsters... They have set their sights on the thunder cherry branches, which are also known as thunder seeds.

After all this time, Xie Yan now had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

"These guys are the remnants of the Dark Disaster. They were awakened by the surge of the earth veins and continued the battle that happened five hundred years ago."

But Xie Yan had no idea why the earth veins were surging, so he could only ask Ying later.

After sharing his analysis with everyone, Kujo Sara guessed that the shogunate army might be under pressure at this time and wanted to return to support immediately. Ying was a little envious of the island below. Her "exploration level" was to accept commissions or fight monsters everywhere, but the overall situation was more important, so she agreed to follow the arrangements.

"Don't worry, the shogunate army is not that weak, and if they really can't handle it, the general and the Yae Palace Master will not ignore it." Xie Yan gestured to her to be at ease, "Before returning to the island, I want to observe the flow of Inazuma's earth veins. Once I have sorted out my thoughts, I will be able to control the flow of the earth veins, and then purify the remaining abyss aura."

"Wow, Xie Yan, can you still control the earth veins after leaving Xumi?" Paimon flew to the top of Xie Yan's head, "Those Abyss Mages seem to be able to use the power of the earth veins... By the way, Xie Yan, didn't you just say that the incident had nothing to do with the Abyss Cult?"

Great!

Finally flew over Xie Yan's head! It's good to have Yingmei in front of me and lie down.

Xie Yan reached out and grabbed her. It's true, although he had always used her as an emergency cup, he had never touched her before. Now that he grabbed her, he felt that the texture was excellent. This cup must be at least 50 points.

But Paimon is a very good at seizing opportunities. Xie Yan really didn't have time to tease her at this moment. He said seriously: "The Abyss and the Abyss Cult are not the same thing. The Abyss is disordered and its only purpose is destruction and erosion. You can regard the Abyss Cult as the remnant of Kanreya."

"Ah, so Ying's brother is probably also in the Abyss Cult?" Paimon made inferences with his hands, "The Abyss Cult can control the Hilichurls, so are the Hilichurls and Kanreya also connected?"

Detective Paimon!

Ying has a blank expression on his face. When Paimon pretends to be confused, he looks really stupid, but when he reasons, he always hits the point.

She followed Paimon's words and asked, "The Qiuqiu people can farm and raise animals, and they have their own language. They seem to be a nascent civilization, but I always feel something is wrong. Their distribution is too strange."

Ying received several commissions to communicate with the Hilichurls in Mond from a little girl named "Ella Musk". She was knowledgeable and had already noticed the problems of the Hilichurls.

"It's not a starting civilization, but a degenerating civilization." Xie Yan said in a deep voice.

At that time, he was on his way back, and with his wife around him, Xie Yan shared his experiences.

"Most of the Hillicruls are the people of Kanreya who are cursed with immortality. This is a curse based on the law of cause and effect that has caused them to perish forever and degenerate from humans into this state."

"I used to slack off at Inazuma... ahem, I observed during my breaks at work that the bodies of the hillock people would decompose and flow into the earth veins after being left for a period of time, and then they would be reborn in the surge of the earth veins."

"So these hillocks seem endless and are spread all over the Seven Kingdoms."

Ying showed surprise, while Jiujo Sara felt deeply the cruelty and horror of the curse, and did not pay attention to the slacking off mentioned by Xie Yan.

It's no use noticing it. In the past, she could use her status as a sworn sister and superior to scold Xie Yan and ask Xie Yan to play more in the jungle. But now, she can only be attacked by Xie Yan.

"Kanria looks so pitiful. Could their curse be related to Heaven's Law? Zhongli said that it was Heaven's Law that destroyed Kanria." Paimon sighed in a low voice, "That Heaven's Law must not be a good person. The Traveler should be our biggest enemy in the future!"

Hearing Paimon shouting the slogan "Down with Tianli", Xie Yan was a little speechless. I hope that someone will reveal your identity and say that you are Tianli.

only--

Is Kanreya really pitiful?

The unaware people are indeed innocent, but if you think about it carefully, how could the monsters and ruins guards that can affect the seven countries be prepared in a short time? Kanreya is obviously not a good person.

Moreover, their contact with the abyss and the spread of forbidden knowledge have already shaken the foundation of the world. If left unchecked, the entire continent of Teyvat might be destroyed by them.

To this day, the legacy of the Dark Disaster continues to harm the world.

.........

Outlying islands.

"The Chang Dao is magnificent, and the Ming Shen is eternal!"

The shogunate soldiers, wearing sophisticated armor, formed a battle formation to fight the enemy, and shouted in unison.

This is considered an affiliated island of an outlying island, usually serving as an outpost with arrow towers and watchtowers. But today, many beast hounds have set their sights on the thunder cherry branches here, and the soldiers guarding here immediately asked for help from Tianling Fengxing.

For the Inazi people, the Thunder Cherry branches came from the Divine Cherry Tree and were part of the divine body. The Fatui and the traitorous treasure-stealing group who had planned to seize the power of the Thunder Cherry Tree had long been beheaded in the streets. Now that the monsters were running rampant, how could they be allowed to survive?

The sharp swords, spears and hounds' claws collided, creating countless sparks.

Most of the soldiers of the Shogunate Army have been tested in war. They are not afraid of the ferocious monsters. They swing their weapons and leave injuries on the enemies amid the clanging sounds. This is the advantage brought by the jade steel weapons.

But as the two sides fought, the monster's sharp claws pierced through the armor, and black mist quickly spread along the wound.

Unlike enemies like Hilichurls and Slimes, Beast Hounds not only have sharp claws and fangs, they are creations of [Gold] Rhinedot, with the power of the abyss hidden in their bodies. The erosion caused by their attacks can even break through the shield.

In the Adventurer's Guild, these hounds are known as "bloody dogs", which shows how disgusting they are.

The soldiers who had no elemental power to protect themselves were immediately hit, and their wounds felt like they were being torn apart, but the shogunate soldiers did not panic. The soldiers at the rear of the formation immediately filled the gap and evacuated their colleagues who were more seriously injured.

"Eat a punch!"

The wind element force that had been compressed to the extreme suddenly exploded, repelling the two beast hounds in front of him, but the opponents flashed and disappeared after being injured.

Heizo Kanouin was not discouraged. He has always been a calm person, but now he is the leader of the team. He needs to consider more than just himself. He must protect the safety of his soldiers as much as possible.

"Use Yin Yang magic talisman!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers of the Shogunate army took out the talismans to enchant them. As the inheritance of Korekami Harunosuke was cut off, these talismans became a non-renewable resource and needed the captain's order to be used.

With the blessing of elemental power, it became much easier to deal with these beast hounds in front of him. Weapons wrapped in thunder and fire elements pierced into the enemy's body, producing an overload effect from time to time.

And Kanoin Heizo took advantage of the enemy's stiffness and used the Immovable Flow Vacuum Bomb to firmly suck the enemy together, continuously spreading the elemental damage.

Flexible elemental reaction, this was the tactic that Xie Yan taught him.

He stared at a few hounds that escaped through space and finished off the enemies, finally completely destroying them.

After the battle, the injured shogunate soldiers were urgently bandaged and prepared to go back to the shrine maiden to treat the erosion of the black fog. The rest of the people cleaned up the battlefield and collected the drops of monsters. The military discipline was in good order.

It's not surprising that Kanoin Heizo is like this. Inazuma is a martial country, and the Tenryo Bugyo holds competitions regularly. After that, they have experienced the baptism of war. It would be too unreasonable if their combat effectiveness is still poor.

Of course, such order is all due to the faith in the Shogun and Inazuma, which is the core of the army and ensures that everyone will not retreat even a single step when facing a strong enemy.

"Captain, the enemy has been wiped out. Should we go back to recuperate?"

"Don't worry. The Lord of the Heavenly Palace said that these monsters are revived through the surge of the earth veins. Let's wait for a while to prevent more monsters from being generated."

Just as Xie Yan said, Ying and Shen Zi would not leave the monsters alone. As early as the first outbreak, Shen Zi and Hanasari had come in person to confirm that the shogunate army could handle it before handing it over to them.

Xiaolu has led the team to exterminate monsters several times and has quite a bit of experience. But after he finished speaking, his ears suddenly moved and he looked towards the sea vigilantly.

"What's wrong, Captain? Wait, what is this..."

A soldier looked in the direction of the sight and saw that the sky suddenly darkened, and a tall and majestic figure that seemed to block out the sky and the sun swooped down from midair. Wherever it passed, the strong wind pressure split the sea surface in two.

Everyone was stunned, looking at the Tengu warrior who seemed like a god in disbelief.

In fact, someone on the distant island had already noticed Susanoo, but the shogunate soldiers were fighting hard at the time and did not pay attention to the fluctuations on the sea.

But it’s useless to see it. In the face of the power of gods, mortals can only choose to look up.

"Could this be Inazuma's General Thunder?" The people of other countries looked horrified.

There is no such thing as the end of the Dharma era on the continent of Teyvat, but with the end of the War of Demons and Gods, the number of times the gods of various countries take action has indeed become very rare, and every time a miracle appears, it will attract the attention of various countries.

And now...this Tengu warrior clearly carries the colors of Inazuma culture, could he be the legendary Raiden General?

"No, this is not the Shogun-sama. This is completely different from the statue of the Grand Master of the Imperial Palace!"

"Sir, the general does not have the form of a tengu warrior. Wait, is there another demon god invading Inazuma?"

"Quick, go to the castle tower and ask for the general!"

"No, if it was a demon invasion, the general would have sent down divine thunder long ago."

"But who is this? When did our Inazuma have a demon god? The Steambird newspaper said that Xumi is a dual god."

"It's really coming towards us!"

At the outlying island port, countless people exclaimed.

It's not that they were afraid, as even foreigners knew how brave General Lei Dian was. But who wouldn't panic when seeing such an unidentified giant coming towards them?

Fortunately, the other party suddenly changed direction slightly and headed towards the affiliated island not far away, which made everyone vaguely relieved.

"Look, there seems to be someone above the Tengu warrior's head!"

"I saw it, it was that sir! Lord Kujo Sara is also there!"

"What? That gentleman is back! I see. No wonder he came to the island!"

Amid the puzzled looks of foreign merchants, the offshore island port suddenly became bustling, with faces of local merchants, warriors, and officials filled with excitement and joy.

but--

Who is that adult? Can you light a fire on your head?

Seeing the locals becoming more and more addicted to speaking "secret language", the foreign businessmen were already confused, until someone took the initiative to ask them, they knew that the visitor was Xie Yan, who had changed Inazuma with his own strength, and was also the general's husband.

All foreign merchants who came to Inazuma had more or less heard rumors about him: challenging gods, ending wars, becoming a king's husband, and being a descendant of immortals. Everything was full of legends, and there were countless light novels based on him.

But stories are just stories after all. It was not until they saw it with their own eyes that they realized that Inazuma was exaggerating in a conservative way.

"Is Inazuma also going to have two gods at the same time like Sumeru?"

"Speaking of which, the Xumi people are really good at bragging. They said that their prince sealed a demon god and hung him in the sky."

"Well, it seems that I am not bragging. The news has been published in today's Steam Bird newspaper. The image described in it is a bit like this gentleman."

"I can't say they are similar, I can only say they are exactly the same."

"Lord Xie Yan is the husband of a king, how could he become a Sumeru God? It must have been done by the Kingdom of Zhidong!"

While everyone was talking about it, the pressure shifted to the soldiers of the Shogunate army.

The complete form of Susanoo turned around and came in front of them. Although the opponent was still staying in the air and did not land, who could remain calm in front of this figure as tall as a mountain?

However, these soldiers have been tempered by life and death after all. When the enemy's identity is unknown, everyone is ready for battle with weapons in hand.

"Put down your weapons." Shikanoin Heizo turned around and ordered.
