Still playing traditional Genshin Impact?

After carefully looking at Xie Yan several times and satisfying his curiosity, Wendy returned to his usual smiling bard appearance.

He is not a hardworking person, and although he always keeps his duties as a god in mind, personal preferences and interests are also important to him.

This complete disregard for the majesty of God made Ying frown slightly, and he couldn't help but say: "Barbatos, you still like to play around like before, you don't look like a God at all. And speaking of it, wasn't it Rosaline who took away your God's Heart?"

Ying couldn't understand Wendy's casual style of doing things without paying any attention to the dignity of God. According to her, even though she looked down on the Heart of God, if Rosaline came to snatch it, she would have chopped her into ashes with a knife. She really gave you face, didn't she?

As a result, Wendy's Heart of God was stolen, and now they are going to the trouble of taking her soul away and sending it into Mondstadt's underground veins?

"Baalzebub, I knew you would say that. But Rosaline is still a citizen of Mondstadt. It was me who failed to protect them... You should understand this guilt, right?" Wendy said with a slight smile. "Of course, seeing that you can walk out of the castle tower to understand your own people, I think you should have found the answer."

He came to Inazuma on a whim, but Ying's changes really surprised him, which meant that she had really walked out of the shadows.

"Well, of course I know what to do, but you came all the way to Inazuma just to take a look? That's weird."

"Hehe, I don't think so. I am Wendy now, not Barbatos. It's normal to do what I like, right? But Baalzebub, what do you think your identity is now?"

"I am naturally the Thunder General worshipped by the Inazi people, and also..."

Ying suddenly paused here, she felt as if she had grasped something key, which was what she had been looking for today.

"You are General Thunder, and you are also an ordinary girl who is out on a date with her lover." Wendy enlightened her, "Do you understand? You don't need to worry about which is more important, your divinity or your humanity, because no matter which side you are, it is still you. Only by generously admitting everything about yourself can you understand your people."

Ying's face showed realization, and the last trace of doubt in his heart quietly dissipated. He thanked Wendy solemnly.

"Hey, it feels really good to give guidance to others as an elder. When the Lantern Festival comes in Liyue, I will go to Liyue and share it with Morax." Wendy still had a smiling expression.

Ying resisted the urge to punch him twice and snorted, "I heard that the Lantern Festival is the most important festival in Liyue. Xie Yan and I will also be there. You better not talk nonsense at the table."

"Oh? In Liyue's terms, this is meeting the parents, right?" Wendy joked, but her expression suddenly looked a little disappointed. "You, me, and Morax are all here, it's a bit like the gathering of the Seven Gods back then, but unfortunately the wind direction will change after all."

Even someone as open-minded as him couldn't help but sigh that things and people have changed.

Wendy quickly adjusted her mindset and turned to look at Xie Yan: "By the way, you look like you have something to ask me?"

"Well, I was originally planning to go to Mond to ask you for advice, but I didn't expect you to come here first."

"I really hope you can come to Mond. The Knights' Order now, no, the entire Mond has lost some of its vitality. This is not what a free city should be like."

Although he never interfered in the political affairs of the people of Mondstadt, Wendy felt ashamed when compared with the Knights who went shopping to increase their step count and the Shogunate Army who worked hard.

Apart from anything else, how fat were those guys on patrol? Wendy even suspected that they had joined the Knights through the backdoor.

It just so happens that Xie Yan is someone who is good at breaking the deadlock. He has already solved the remaining problems such as the House of the Holy Orders and the desert. I believe that reorganizing the Knights Templar will be a piece of cake.

"How can a Rice Wife like me interfere in Mond's political affairs?" Xie Yan quickly waved his hand to refuse. He didn't want to compete with Mond's giant baby in wits and courage.

Of course, it is necessary to visit Captain Qintui more often during diplomacy, as he is very interested in the soul of the Knights.

As for breaking the curse with the physical body... ahem, even though she is a true original god, if she is really cursed, it won't be something Barbara can break alone.

Xie Yan put away his thoughts and asked seriously, "I mainly want to ask you two things. One is about Alice's whereabouts. I have some doubts and want to ask her. The second is about the Abyss Cult... Wendy, did they steal your idol? You should be able to sense the location, right?"

The first question was fine, but the second question made Wendy frown slightly.

Since Xie Yan used the power of dreams to cover up when the three met, Wendy said directly: "I can indeed sense the location, but in your current state it is best not to confront them. The erosion of the abyss is too strong. Once you are polluted, when you become a god, the laws of the continent of Teyvat will be affected."

Xie Yan nodded. The Great Compassionate Tree King had also warned him at that time.

But he is different from the people of Teyvatian. This problem of Wendy can be solved by charging money.

"Don't worry. The Great Compassionate Tree King and I have solved the pollution of the World Tree together. We have a deep understanding of the power of the abyss." Xie Yan briefly recounted what happened.

This really shocked Wendy. He asked as if to confirm, "You mean, the Great Mercy Tree King was saved by you?"

“Although there are still some hidden dangers, there is no need to worry for the time being.”

"I really didn't expect that... In this case, it is even more necessary to gather for the Lantern Festival. Why don't you invite the two gods of wisdom over?"

After Wendy said this, Ying also missed the past gatherings and pushed Xie Yan's arm: "This is a good suggestion. Didn't Nashida say that she would visit all the rulers? Now we can save the effort of contacting other people."

Gatherings among gods are so rare, and Xie Yan and I just happened to want to meet his parents together. If people we know are there, it would serve as a witness.

Buyer used to be able to talk to me, so he will definitely bless me happily!

Xie Yan was about to say something but stopped himself. Forget it, I’ll go back to Xumi and discuss it with Nashida when the time comes!

Nashida loves me so much, she will definitely help me at the dinner!

My dear sister, you don’t want to see your brother being tortured in the Shura Field, right?

If Nashida didn't help, Xie Yan could already imagine himself using his toes to dig out a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment at a party.

Apparently, Ah Xie hasn't figured out his elder sister's character yet.

Wendy continued, "Since you have a way to fight pollution, then I have nothing to hide. The statue is in this location of Liyue..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yan felt a breeze blowing, and a stream of information poured into his mind. These were the coordinates of the statue.

"As for Alice, well, I can't help you too much. Since you want to find her, you should know her personality more or less." Wendy scratched her head. "But she occasionally returns to Mondstadt to see Klee. It's almost time since she last visited Mondstadt. You can come to Mondstadt to wait for her."

Xie Yan stroked his chin. He didn't have anything particularly important to talk to Alice about. It was mainly because he was tricked before, and he was really curious about this legendary figure in the original god that he wanted to pay her a visit.

He wants Kelly to call him daddy!

"It all depends on fate. I'll probably go to Mondstadt after I've had some rest."

"Hey, I thought it was something important. What a pity. It would be great if you could come to Mond to help."

Wendy's face was full of regret. He cooperated so well in the hope of bringing Xie Yan to Mond to rectify the style of the Knights.

Ying looked at him warily: "Xie Yan is my Inazuma's god, don't think of passing on the throne to him."

She knew very well how cunning Wendy was, and she knew that after seeing Xie Yan was so responsible to his people, he must have had some evil intentions.

Wendy waved her hands quickly: "How dare I snatch someone from you? As for Xie Yan's problem just now, it's actually very easy to solve. It's indeed difficult for an Inazuma to interfere in the affairs of the Knights, but I can ask Qin to arrange an identity for him... Well, just like the popular son-in-law novels among you Inazuma now."

Shit, Yaedou just updated to Jueyunjian’s son-in-law, and now Wendy, you’re going to make me Gunhild’s son-in-law?

Xie Yan had a picture in his mind.

"Wendy, you'd better stop making such trouble. If we go to Mondstadt, I will communicate with Captain Jean. Of course, it would be best if you could let her know." Xie Yan waved his hand.

The problems of the Knights Templar may seem thorny, but in a theocratic kingdom, as long as God is willing to make changes, there are many ways to solve these problems.

Ying also knew this question. Her eyes were full of surprise. "I remember that when the Seven Gods gathered, Wendy, you talked about your philosophy of governing the country. Your current actions seem to be different from your philosophy? Could it be that you have suffered some wear and tear?"

"You are quite different from the past, aren't you?" Wendy said seriously. "I don't want to deprive my people of their freedom. It's just that their freedom now is based on sacrificing others. This is not what I pursue."

Ying looked at him deeply. Although they had different ideas, the other party was indeed a qualified ruler.

The matter was basically discussed, and the three of them said their final goodbyes and prepared to go their separate ways.

"Wendy are you leaving now?"

"How is that possible? Although my curiosity was satisfied, I just arrived in Inazuma, so of course I have to take a good look around before leaving."

Barbatos is not a person who does not work properly.

Xie Yan suddenly remembered something: "Oh, there are monsters gathering towards Mondstadt, Wendy, you'd better pay attention."

He remembered that the Abyss Cult had always been picking on Mondstadt, from the idol to Tevarin to the Wolf King, just to fleece the wool of Mondstadt.

"I understand, but if I can't handle it, I might have to ask you two for help." Wendy smiled freely and turned to leave.

Ying looked at his back and shook his head gently: "This guy is weird. When you think he is unreliable, he can become reliable."

“Isn’t this also unreliable?” Xie Yan complained, and then said seriously: “I can feel that his condition is not right. His divinity is slightly higher than mine, but his divine power is indeed very small. He uses his power very vigorously. We didn’t find him coming to Inazuma before.”

Ying nodded slightly. "Mondstadt used to be a bitter and cold place. It was he who blew the Thousand Winds that changed the environment of Mondstadt. Perhaps until now, the divine power is still maintaining this mechanism."

The two looked at each other, and then tacitly came to the coastline.

Although this is not an outlying island, you can still see many ships carrying flags of various countries slowly approaching.

It was the first time for Ying to stand on the beach and look out like this. With a slight smile on her lips, she imitated the couples walking along the coast and reached out to hold Xie Yan's arm intimately.

"Did you have fun today?"

"Yeah, I'm very happy. It was not right to always sit in the castle tower before."

Walking side by side with Xie Yan, arm in arm, Ying's heart felt even more peaceful than when she was meditating. She really enjoyed the warmth that belonged only to the two of them.

"But I still have to respect the dignity of the gods in the future. Besides, I don't really like walking around every day." Ying quickly exposed her nature as a stay-at-home girl.

She feels happy to go out on a date like this occasionally, but usually she prefers to stay in the Pure Land to meditate or invent something.

Xie Yan didn't force it. He knew Ying's character and said, "There are a lot of new and interesting things over there in Xumi. I have asked people to sort them out. I can bring them to you for study next time."

Even if you don't use some techniques, you can ask Ying to analyze the principles. It's always a good idea to be more prepared.

As a girl majoring in science and engineering, Ying was also quite interested in this and nodded in agreement immediately.

But at this moment, she saw someone in front of her holding a brick-shaped object and pointing it at the ships on the sea. She frowned slightly and asked, "What is this?"

"This is Fontaine's camera, I brought it too." Xie Yan then remembered taking a group photo, and while speaking he let the camera float in the air and took a few photos of the two of them.

Ying was full of confusion after getting the photo. In the picture, she was standing with Xie Yan with a smile, as if time was frozen at that moment.

Xie Yan explained the principles of photography to her, but the image was still a little dull. She didn't expect that the technology outside had advanced to this level.

"It seems that I need to upgrade the general."

Ying felt a sense of crisis, but then he thought, a single-threaded general could kill him with one blow, and if the general became a dual-threaded one, the gap between the two people's ranks would be even greater.

Never mind, the general and I are in a duo anyway! It doesn't matter who plays C!

Xie Yan couldn't help but joked, "Weren't you very tough when you were in the Pure Land before? You even said that you knew everything about Inazuma. How come you've become a country girl who just came to the city?"

"I...well, it's my problem. I always thought that the scenery in the world was all the same. I didn't expect that after hundreds of years, Inazuma has become someone I don't recognize." Ying didn't insist anymore, but sighed with regret.

Although today is a date, what Ying has seen and heard along the way has already made him aware of the true development direction of the Eternal Kingdom.

so--

Now that it has come to this, there is no need to drag the battle on any longer.

Now Inazuma has Xie Yan in charge, and with Hanasari and Kamiko assisting her, even if he fights with the general for a while, it will not have much impact on Inazuma.

The general who was meditating in the Pure Land also opened his eyes: "It seems that you have finally made up your mind. Very good, I have been waiting for this day for a long time... Let's fight at the beginning. Everything started from here, and it should end from here."

She didn't mind giving Ying time to adjust, but if Ying was willing to fight in advance, she would certainly be happy with that.

As for the outcome... the general doesn't care. She has made all the necessary preparations. Even if Ying loses, she is confident that she can manage Inazuma with the help of Xie Yan and Hanasari, and help Ying give birth to a child with great efficiency.

Ying knew what she meant, and turned his head to look at Xie Yan: "I'm leaving."

"You mean the cave beneath Narugami Taisha?"

"Well, that is the center of the sacred cherry tree and the entrance to my sister's consciousness space... It was here that I decided the path to eternity, and now I have to end everything."

"I trust you and won't interfere in your fight, but I want to walk you to the entrance."

"it is good."

Ying felt a warm feeling in her heart, but for Xie Yan and Inazuma, she had to completely cut off the past.

The two of them turned into lightning and quickly shuttled through the clouds. Before long, they arrived at Yingxiang Mountain.

This cave is actually the base of General Raiden. There is a barrier set up by Ying himself in front of it to prevent outsiders or monsters from breaking in.

She gently placed her palm on the barrier covered with lightning. With a thought, a hole appeared in the barrier and Xie Yan followed her into it.

What I saw was an empty cave, with only ore and a torii-shaped portal inside.

Ying looked back at Xie Yan, they nodded in tacit understanding, and then Ying stepped in.

A sense of confusion from traveling through time and space came over him, but Ying had once opened up a pure land of his mind and had long since adapted to the space of consciousness.

Looking around, this place is no different from before, still empty and lifeless, just like the pure land at the beginning.

Ying couldn't help but sigh softly.

When she arrived at Kanriya, Lei Dianzhen was already dying. She could only intercept her sister's last consciousness to try to keep some hope, but no matter how she tried, she could not find a way to revive her sister. She was completely desperate and therefore established the eternal law.

"You travel the world in my body, thinking that you have grasped the true meaning of eternity and that you are more determined than before, right?" The general's figure appeared in front of Ying at some point.

Ying nodded: "Yes, I have found the true eternity. This is not only for you and me, but also for the people of Inazu."

The general did not deny that it was because of this that she surpassed her own divinity, but paradoxically, the foundation of her existence was the eternity set by the shadow himself, which forced her to fulfill the eternal defense mechanism.

"I love Inazuma as much as you do. I am willing to give you and Xie Yan a chance to correct me, but I will not hold back. Once the battle begins, I don't know if you can accomplish your goal, nor do I know how long the battle will last."

"I understand, but I must defeat you, and I will definitely defeat you."

"Very good. Since you have this awareness, given our current situation, perhaps the battle will not last too long. As long as your will is stronger than mine, the mechanism will naturally be released."

Ying had already prepared for the battle, and his dream was to emerge in his hands, but when he saw the general with nothing in his hands, he couldn't help but look surprised: "General, what are you doing?"
