Wu Lang said quickly that he needed these procedures to delay time and have people report everything to Xin Hai in detail.

After all, he really couldn't make up his mind about such a big matter. Only Xinhai, the supreme leader of their Haiji Island, could handle such a complicated matter.

Moreover, his identity is not suitable. As the heart sea of ​​the living god priestess, strictly speaking, he is not suitable either. Only gods with equal status and strength can be the real recipients. However, this is the best solution that their Kaigi Island can come up with.

155 Xinhai: My CPU burned out

Inside the Coral Palace, Xinhai was staring at a map with a frown on his face.

"Report, Lord Xinhai, General Wulang is back."

The messenger shouted loudly, breaking the silence in the Coral Palace.

Xinhai sighed slightly, put down the pen in his hand, looked at the messenger, and opened his mouth slightly, "Goro is back, so how is the war with the shogunate going this time? How many casualties were there, and how much material consumption was there?"

"Uh...Lord Xinhai, Lord Wulang didn't tell me these things." said the messenger.

"Hmm?" Xin Hai was a little confused. "Under normal circumstances, Goro would submit a detailed battle report after returning. Why didn't he tell you? Did he forget? No, as the general of Kaigi Island, he shouldn't forget such a thing."

"Lord Xinhai, Lord Goro did not tell me about the casualties and material consumption of this war, but conveyed another more important message, which is... when we were fighting the shogunate, we accidentally intercepted a ship that had run aground due to a reef. There were several guests from Liyue on board."

"Oh, so that's what happened." Xinhai suddenly realized that this kind of thing was not uncommon on Kaigi Island. Although the Thunder God blocked the entire Inazuma with thunderstorms, there were so many capable people in the world. There would always be people who would use various methods to survive those thunderstorms and come to Inazuma to get generous rewards by selling supplies.

Thanks to these merchants, their Haigi Island can obtain a steady supply of supplies from the outside world.

Otherwise, how could their territories compete with the shogunate that occupied most of the place.

"So, are the merchants on the ship willing to do business with us? What supplies do they have and how much do they want?"

As usual, Xinhai quickly asked the messenger, Goro didn't even mention the battle report, which meant that the supplies these merchants carried must be urgently needed by Kaigi Island, such as artillery shells or other weapons and equipment.

"No... Although there are merchants on the ship, they are in the funeral business..."

"Ah, although our Haiji Island does have a strong demand for this, but..."

Xinhai didn't say the following words. Although for Haiqi Island, the death of a companion is sad, and generally speaking, a decent ceremony is needed for burial, but Haiqi Island has limited funds and it is impossible to spend a lot of money on this. The most correct approach is to invest the limited funds in the purchase of basic supplies and weapons and equipment.

"That's not the point. The point is, Master Xinhai, there is a guest up there who claims to be the God of Rock!!"

"What??"

Now even Xin Hai widened his eyes and looked at the messenger with disbelief.

"Are you sure you heard it right? Maybe Goro said something else, like the word "extension" instead of Iwagami."

The messenger nodded quickly. "I asked Lord Wulang several times, and he said with certainty that it was the Rock God, the god of precious gold, the creator of Mora used by the continent of Teyvat, and the main god of Liyue."

"Master Xinhai? Master Xinhai, what's wrong with you? Why are you silent?"

The messenger looked at his heart sea, which seemed to have a loading symbol next to his head, and felt a little bit at a loss. Why did his military leader seem to have a burnt brain?

It took a long time for Xinhai to recover from this frozen state.

"Master Xinhai, you finally woke up. Do you have any solution?"

"I... I have no other choice. No matter what, I will go see the Lord God first."

Xinhai said this very bluntly. As for strategies, she had many, but she was very clear about one thing, that is, under absolute strength, no matter what conspiracy or trick it was, it would be nothing but a passing cloud and would have no effect at all.

This is also the reason why Kaigi Island never says that it is rebelling against Lord Thunder God, but instead says that it is rebelling against the inappropriate policy of the Eye Hunting Order.

Similarly, she knew that there were many strategies for making a small investment to gain a big return. Many books recorded stories of human counselors who, through some strategies, drove away wolves and tigers and ultimately reaped the benefits.

But in that place, the tigers and wolves that were used were mostly users of the Eye of God, or powerful spirits and other creatures, but there had never been an existence like the Demon God.

For these beings, as long as they react, the people who use conspiracy may not even have anything left in the end.

It would be better to entertain him well, do what you can, and explain your demands to this great god, maybe the problem can be solved.

I believe that Wulang thinks so too.

While Xinhai was tidying up his appearance and preparing to set off, Baizhi was visiting Haigi Island under the guidance of Goro.

"Lord Iwagami, look, this is our resistance army's barracks. We usually train here, hoping to fight against the shogunate army and let Lord Narugami know our intentions."

There was a hint of restraint in Goro's voice.

Goro was quite worried about Iwagami, who was one of the Seven Earthly Rulers like Thunder God. He wondered what he would think after hearing that the motive of his people in rebelling against the shogunate was to rebel against the will of God.

"Hey, don't be so nervous. I won't eat you. This kind of resistance is good. Gods are not always right."

How could Bai Zhi not see this guy's emotions? She had seen it too many times.

"really?"

Goro's eyes lit up a little. He didn't expect that Baizhi actually agreed with their actions on Haigi Island. This made him feel a little unbelievable.

He originally thought that Bai Zhi would at least have some complaints.

"Yes, the gods are not absolutely right. The Emperor is right." Zhongli nodded in agreement, and at the same time he became more satisfied with Baizhi.

He had no doubts about Baizhi's talent, but he was also quite afraid that Baizhi would eventually fall into a terrible self-identity, thinking that everything she did was right and that as a god, other people could not express their opinions or ideas.

But now it seems that Bai Zhi obviously knew this. She did not treat these people with disgust just because Haiji Island rebelled against the Thunder God. Instead, she was very curious about the reason.

What a perfect seedling! He knows so much, is not biased, and is able to accept advice.

Zhongli immediately felt better. This was simply fate. After his retirement, he would be able to find such a perfect successor.

He couldn't even imagine how sad he would be if Bai Zhi was gone in the future.

But that's impossible. As a demon god, it's not that easy for him to disappear. Bai Zhi's strength is not weak even among demon gods.

156 The Gods Are Not Watching Me

"cough cough..."

A soldier walked past Goro coughing, and then he coughed violently a few more times.

"Zheping, what's wrong with you? Have you been sick recently?"

Looking at the soldier, Wu Lang, who was leading Bai Zhi to visit the military camp, asked subconsciously.

"Uh...ah, it's General Goro. Sorry, I was a little distracted and didn't see you here. These are guests coming to Umijima, right? Oh, I'm so sorry, I've been feeling a little unwell recently and can't concentrate."

The soldier named Zheping gave a forced smile and bent his arms. "But it doesn't matter. This is definitely because I haven't exercised enough. As long as I exercise well and make my body stronger, a mere illness will not be able to defeat me at all!"

"And I've become very strong recently. Last time, I saved several brothers from the Shogunate army. It seems that my training has been effective."

"That's it..."

Goro looked at Teppei and always felt that there was something strange in his brother's words and expression, but he couldn't tell why, so he could only comfort him: "Then you should have a good rest, the brothers on Haigi Island are still waiting for you."

"Well, okay, General Goro, you and the other guests can go on the tour. I'm going to take a rest."

Zheping coughed a few times again, and his smile became a little pale.

Looking at the pale man, Bai Zhi seemed to be thinking about something.

After they had walked for a while, Bai Zhi said to Wu Lang, "Have you discovered the problem with Mr. Zheping?"

"Yes, I noticed that his steps were weak, but his face was strangely flushed despite being pale. I have seen this feeling of strength in weakness in many dying people. Most of them have taken some strong drugs and exchanged their physical potential for a normal experience. I am afraid... this Zheping is forcibly overdrawing his body in exchange for some strength."

"This approach may gain temporary power, but the final result may also be very sad."

"It's just that sometimes people do things that seem stupid, for the sake of some wishes in their hearts, or to achieve a goal that is originally impossible to achieve."

"I quite like people like this. At least they die quickly and can help me increase my performance."

Hu Tao also rarely took Bai Zhi seriously and made a comment.

"What?" Wu Lang turned around in surprise.

"Hmm... From a common sense perspective, what the Emperor and Master Hu said is correct. I also sensed some elemental power from this brother Zheping. Does this brother Zheping possess the Eye of God?"

Zhongli nodded and expressed his opinion.

Now Wulang was no longer calm, and he also discovered some problems.

"Gentlemen, what you said seems to have some signs... In the past, although Zheping worked hard, he was just an ordinary person. But recently, he suddenly seemed to have come to his senses. He fought bravely and performed well."

"I often noticed that he would be very sluggish, but he would say that it was because he was injured or exhausted during the battle."

"But now that I think about it, that's not the case at all. His performance doesn't seem to be due to fatigue and injury caused by combat..."

After this analysis, Goro immediately became anxious and turned around and ran towards the hut where Teppei was.

Bai Zhi shook her head and said, "Everyone, let's go and take a look together."

"Alright, I will naturally accept the Emperor's invitation."

Afterwards, several people walked to the small house where Zheping was. Here, Goro was standing in front of Zheping, panting.

"Hey, General Wulang, why are you back? Are you concerned about my illness? Hehe, actually, don't worry about it. I just fought too bravely recently and was too tired. Then the wind blew and I caught a cold. You don't have to worry."

When Teppei saw Goro with an anxious look on his face, he smiled naively and patted his chest to show that he was completely fine.

Seeing Teppei's behavior, Goro was silent. After a moment, he asked, "Tepei, tell me honestly, did you use some method to overdraw your body to make your fighting power stronger?"

When asked this, Teppei was also stunned, and then shook his head.

"General Wu Lang, what are you talking about? Why would I use that method... Ahem, I'm really fine. Don't worry about me. I'm just exhausted from exercising too much."

The more Teppei said this, the more suspicious Goro's face became. As a general of the resistance army on Kaigi Island, he knew the training of his brothers very well, if not completely, but at least he was very detailed. He knew exactly what kind of combat power each person had.

A person's ability cannot make a large-scale breakthrough unless it is a life-and-death situation.

Moreover, even if one's potential is suddenly released at a critical moment of life and death, one will suffer heavy damage afterwards. However, this is not the case with Zheping recently. His strength seems to be increasing at a uniform rate, which is very abnormal.

Because he did not obtain the Eye of God, his usual training volume did not increase significantly.

"Tepei, tell me the truth..." Goro saw the people following behind him, "These guests told me about the abnormality in you."

"The head of the Wangsheng Hall said that you have a strange sense of weakness and strength, like those who overdraw their bodies in exchange for strength... I understand your feelings, but the cause of Haiqi Island does not require you to do this to succeed."

"If you don't want to book a coffin and funeral here, I advise you to tell me as soon as possible."

"..."

"Okay..." Teppei sighed, "I did gain some strength, but General Goro, I'm really fine. Look, I'm still in good health now. If I had more power, I could save more brothers on the battlefield."

"And I just need to exercise more to offset the consumption of this exchange of strength. It's just a little bit of physical weakness. Compared with the lives of my brothers and being able to do more things, it's just a small matter."

"you...."

Goro looked at Teppei and closed his eyes in pain. Although he was the user of the Eye of God, he understood the pain of his brothers very well. Facing the power of the shogunate, the resistance army of Umigi Island was still too weak.

Only by gaining strength through other means can further casualties be reduced.

But that's not what he wants.

Similarly, he was also angry about who taught Zheping this method.

157 Bai Zhi: You will be watched by the gods today!

"General Wulang, you don't have to be sad. Look, I'm still alive and well. At worst, I can just use this power more slowly in the future."

The corners of Zheping's mouth curled up slightly, and he tried hard to show a smile to everyone.

"After all, for someone like me who has never been watched by the gods, if I want to do more, I have to pay a price, right?"

"I don't agree with this statement. Maybe you are being watched by the gods today~"

Zheping looked at Bai Zhi in surprise, "My dear guest, how is this possible? It is impossible for a mortal like me to be noticed by the gods. Only those who are noticed by the gods are outstanding like General Wu Lang, or those who are as well-planned as Lord Xin Hai."

"I am just one of the common people. If it weren't for that method, I wouldn't even be able to save my comrades from the enemy. People like me are destined to be ordinary since birth."

"But even if I am destined to live an ordinary life, I want to shine brightly and leave a deep impression in everyone's heart. That's enough."

"If you have such thoughts, it means you are no longer ordinary. Come, this is for you. This is your power."

Bai Zhi took out a fake Eye of God that she had made in Beloberg and handed it to Zheping.

"Is this... the Eye of God?" Zheping was a little surprised, "But I can't use other people's Eye of God... What's going on?"

Before Zheping could finish his words, he was frightened by the method of use that appeared in his mind. He subconsciously borrowed some power from Baizhi according to the method to guide the elemental force.

A handful of clear water instantly appeared in the palm of his hand.

"I told you that you will be watched by the gods today. Use it well and make your ordinary life feel extraordinary."

"That God's Eye..."
