The people were collapsing the iron, giving the immortal boat a little shock to the Holy Lord

Zhongli suppressed his discomfort, drove away the sticky memories left over from the previous war with demons, and bowed to Baizhi.

He really has a hard time dealing with this girl, Master Hu. She is too clever and eccentric.

"Hmm... This is how you entertain the gods. It's a bit too shabby, isn't it, Miss Deep Sea Fish from Umiji Island~"

Suddenly, a teasing voice appeared in the Coral Palace.

"who is it!"

Xinhai stood up immediately and looked around vigilantly.

"Oh my, Miss Deep Sea Fish, don't be so nervous. The respected emperor has come to Inazuma. As a shrine maiden of Narukami Taisha, I naturally have to come to greet him. But it seems a bit shabby to treat the emperor with such food."

"Thanks to the Emperor's magnanimity, otherwise, our Inazuma's reputation would have been ruined~"

"The shrine maiden of Narukami Taisha Shrine... is you, Yae Kamiko!"

After carefully chewing on this passage, Xinhai almost immediately guessed who the visitor was.

"Goro didn't stop you."

"Oh my, that's right. General Goro is a very lovely person, but as a big monster that has existed for hundreds of years, it is not so easy to be stopped. And Miss Deep-sea Fish, you don't think that the shogunate can't even conquer such a place after so many times looking for Umijima to fight."

"If I hadn't done something, do you think there would be merchants who would bypass the blockade and come to support you?"

"you...."

Xin Hai was a little speechless. As a military advisor, she naturally knew that it was a bit unbelievable that someone came to support Haiqi Island all along.

Although the shogunate is indeed in a weak position now, it still has the ability to block all important shipping routes. Just by doing this, most of the logistics of Kaigi Island can be cut off.

"Haha, you thought of it?"

Accompanied by a flash of pink light, Yae Shinto instantly appeared in front of everyone.

Afterwards, the Eightfold Son of God shifted his gaze to Bai Zhi, and then leaned forward.

"Greetings, respected emperor. I am Yae Kamiko, a shrine maiden of the Narugami Grand Shrine and a member of the household of the Narugami Grand Shrine."

"I am very sorry for the problems you encountered in Inazuma. I did not do a good job in reception. I hope you will not have a bad impression of the people of Inazuma."

"Not really. No one could have foreseen such a thing as a shipwreck. And I don't have any bad impression of the people of Inazuma. For example, Miss Xinhai is very warm and hospitable. And these seafood delicacies are also very delicious. I like them very much."

"But I saw you guys were so tense, and I also heard some words from other soldiers on Haigi Island. Can you explain to me why? If possible, I don't mind being a peacemaker."

Bai Zhi's deliberate words made Yae Shen Zi's eyes light up. This was exactly what she wanted.

Because she knew that, generally speaking, as a ruling god, a god would not arbitrarily interfere in the policies of the areas governed by other gods.

160 Can Gods also suffer psychological trauma?

"Ms. Deep Sea Fish, then you can tell the story."

Yae Shinko covered his face with a smile and stretched out his hand to invite him.

Xinhai glanced at Yae Shinko, but did not refuse. After all, in the current situation, the people of Kaigi Island could not hold on for much longer. Even among the soldiers, there were people like Teppei who secretly used the evil eye to enhance their combat effectiveness.

You can imagine how bad the situation on Haigi Island is now.

If the shogunate had not been harboring the enemy for its own benefit and other reasons, if they had really taken it seriously, Kaigi Island would have been unable to resist at all.

It can be said that just Yae Shinto, the great demon who has presided over the Naruto Taisha Shrine for hundreds of years, is not someone they can deal with.

"Emperor, you should know the current situation of Inazuma's isolation, right?"

Xinhai took a deep breath and asked slowly.

Bai Zhi nodded, "Of course, I came here not only because I want to negotiate something, but also to find out why this place is closed. After all, as a commercial country, our Liyue used to travel back and forth to Inazuma frequently."

"After Inazuma locked up the country, some people in Liyue also lost their jobs."

"Well, yes, Inazuma was blocked by a powerful thunderstorm because our god, General Raiden, believed that it was necessary to reduce external influences as much as possible and then pacify the interior so that everything would become eternal and stagnant."

"Whether it's the Eye Hunting Order or anything else, all of this is done by the General for the unchanging eternity..."

"General, you believe that as long as everything remains unchanged and all variables are eliminated, everyone can live in peace... But Emperor, you know that this is impossible. Human nature is like this. Everyone is always pursuing differences. People have dreams when they are born."

"General, for the sake of eternal immutability, eliminated these differences and prohibited changes. The Eye of God is also the thing that has the greatest impact on this eternal change..."

"We were unwilling to submit, so the people of Haige Island chose to resist."

At this point, Xin Hai looked at Bai Zhi and said, "Emperor, do you think this governing policy is correct? Such eternity is just the general's wishful thinking."

"We respect her, but we do not agree with such tyranny!"

Bai Zhi touched her chin and said, "I can understand her idea. In a sense, this is a feasible method, but she does not have strong enough governing ability and very obedient shogunate personnel to implement it."

"It is difficult for me to judge whether her policy is right or wrong, because I am not the main god of Inazuma, and I don't know everything here. It is not good to judge one thing casually."

Zhongli nodded and said, "Yes, Emperor, your idea is correct. We cannot apply our own ideas to others at will. This is a wrong behavior, because often when a person sees another person, that person in his mind is not a real person, but an abstract self."

"That is an impression formed by overlapping one's own values. Emperor, you did not fall into this trap. That's good."

Zhongli smiled rarely. A qualified king should have his own values, but when thinking about a problem, he should also try to put his own values ​​aside so as to think about the problem more objectively.

Consider it from multiple perspectives.

Instead of getting indignant when hearing someone say this, that person is not a king, he is just a young boy who is full of passion.

Such a person can be a brave man and can have many professions, but the only thing he cannot do is be a monarch who can decide the life and death of everyone with just a single word.

"Thank you Mr. Zhongli for the compliment. Please praise me more in the future. I like it very much~"

"Haha, if the Emperor likes it, I will naturally follow his advice."

Zhongli smiled and shook his head. He was really not stingy with praise. After all, Baizhi did possess most of the qualities of a wise ruler, so he should be praised.

Randomly suppressing education is not something he likes to do.

"Haha, you are worthy of being the Emperor. You really have different ways of looking at things. If it were the soldiers outside, they would probably be so excited that they would draw their weapons and fight the general after hearing what this little deep-sea fish lady said."

Yae Shenzi hid his face and smiled, while Bai Zhi spread her hands and said, "But I guess she might have been stimulated by something very strong, which is why she did this."

"Generally speaking, the nature of life is to accept all kinds of positive changes. If a person, or a god, suddenly wants to remain unchanged for thousands of generations, then it is likely that he has suffered a blow, causing him to think that maintaining that unchanged state is the best."

"That person may have suffered terrible harm during the drastic changes. In order to prevent this harm from happening to her beloved people, she chose this path. Am I right, Ms. Shenzi?"

Now, the originally smiling Yae God also showed a little surprise. This was really too accurate.

If she didn't know that Baizhi had lost her memory, she would almost immediately ask Baizhi if she knew about the incident between Lei Dianzhen and Ying.

"Yes, I have seen many such people. Generally speaking, those who have lost their loved ones in violent accidents, especially those caused by themselves, will constantly lament that it would be great if time could go back to yesterday, or they will have violent reactions to the disruption of peace."

"They are afraid that those sudden events will lead to uncontrollable consequences, and thus become hysterical."

"But for ordinary people, this kind of peace is almost impossible and difficult to achieve, but if it is a god..."

As Hu Tao spoke, her expression became a little strange, and she looked at the Son of God in disbelief.

Things really couldn't be as she guessed.

Gods behave irrationally like humans because they cannot accept some things.

He is a god, how can he suffer from such a mental illness like a human?

Shouldn't gods be like the Emperor, wise and virtuous, and never do bad things because of personal likes and dislikes?

Shen Zi also had a strange expression on her face. She didn't want to reveal too much, but she didn't expect that after Bai Zhi's reasoning, and with the help of Hu Tao, the hall master who was accustomed to life and death, she actually deduced a situation that was almost the truth.

Is this...the guidance of fate?

The Son of God thought with some uncertainty.

"It seems that we seem to have said something right. Miss Shenzi's expression has revealed some of the facts."

Zhongli picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said.

.....

"Well, although I don't want to talk about that here, after all, Miss Deep Sea Fish is still here, but since the Emperor has guessed some things, it's not a bad idea for me to talk about some things in detail."

161 Walnut: Let’s make this world what we want it to be

"Well... Miss Shenzi, you don't have to say it, but from your performance, the general must have lost an important person, which led to his current state, right?"

Yae Shinko, who was about to explain what happened hundreds of years ago, was silent for a moment and then nodded.

"Yes, the Emperor is right. Hundreds of years ago, the death of that person and many friends led to the general's current mentality. She wants to pursue eternity and wants to stagnate everything. In this way, all the beauty can be preserved. She hopes that Inazuma's subjects can experience this feeling."

"Ah... Although the world is not a beautiful place, there are always people who tell me not to give up. They guide me and prove to me that the world is not that bad."

“If I were this general, I would definitely raise my head and keep moving forward to transform this imperfect world into what I want it to be. Although we cannot choose our destiny, we can choose who we are, instead of dwelling in the past and trying to achieve this ridiculous eternity!”

Walnut put her hands on her hips and said, "Emperor, let's go and wake up this general. Let's teach her a good lesson!"

Zhongli covered his head helplessly, "Master, why are you so excited again?"

"Because I think this general is a fool. Does she think that what she did is definitely right? She thinks that if she takes everything on her shoulders, someone will definitely accept her kindness?"

"Well said. Although I won't interfere with the general's policy, I don't mind communicating with her a little. Perhaps I can change her mindset a little bit~"

Bai Zhi clapped her hands. As expected of the hall master, she was full of energy. But some of the lines sounded familiar, as if I had heard them somewhere before?

"Look, the Emperor supports me, Zhongli Keqing, you are still too old. Look at you, you look like you are only in your twenties, but how come you act like an old man who is thousands of years old? Seeing injustice on the road, drawing the sword to help is exactly our creed!"

Hu Tao raised her head and looked at Zhongli with a smile.

Zhongli: ...

How could this old man, who was literally thousands of years old, respond?

"Master Hu, there's no need to say that about Mr. Zhongli. Maybe when he was young, Mr. Zhongli was also a very driven person, and then he experienced love and various emotions too early, and finally became what he is now."

"After all, Mr. Zhongli's appearance can no longer be described as handsome, but rather as elegant and handsome. If he were to tell others that he was looking for a partner of the opposite sex, the number of people he would attract would surely fill up the entire Liyue Harbor."

"Mr. Zhongli must have experienced a lot when he was young, Master Hu, am I right?"

"Oh, that's right. How come I didn't think of that? Keqing Zhongli is so handsome, but he doesn't even have a partner. He's like a big rock, with a heart that has locked up all the love. He must have been through a lot and been heartbroken, and then he threw himself into all kinds of learning and knowledge, and finally became so knowledgeable!"

Hu Tao shook her head as she spoke, leaving Zhongli speechless.

But he just couldn't say anything to refute it.

"Emperor..."

Zhongli suddenly felt that he should keep Hutao at a distance. It seemed that Baizhi had learned some bad things from Hutao.

When he thought that Baizhi would be like Hutao in the future, writing some dark limericks or other things for no reason, he felt a shock all over his body.

"No, it shouldn't be that bad..." Zhongli shook his head and threw away this terrible thought.

"Okay, Mr. Zhongli, I was just joking just now. However, we should have a discussion about this General Lei Dian, right? Whether it is a psychological problem or some other situation, there must be something fishy going on here."

Bai Zhi stopped the teasing in time, although she knew that Zhongli wouldn't care.

"You really want to talk to the General about this?!"

Xin Hai was a little surprised. After hearing what she said before, she thought Bai Zhi didn't really want to get involved in this matter. After all, as the main god of another country, interfering in other countries across regions was, in a sense, a bit of an overstep.

It is somewhat disrespectful to other gods.

"Of course, but I don't know if it will work. I won't use force to force it. I will just use some persuasion and other tricks to achieve my goal."

"That's enough!!" Xin Hai said hurriedly. She was very clear that asking the gods for help was far better than them resisting here.

"Well, let's go there now, Miss Shenzi, please lead the way."

Bai Zhi turned around and said to the Son of God.

"That's no problem. It's my honor to lead the way for the Emperor~"

Meanwhile, in a hidden corner of Inazuma, a tall, big-minded (in the physical sense) woman looked down at an Inazuma man below her.

"You said that the Rock God of Liyue came to visit Inazuma?"

"Yes, Madam, we have received a lot of news recently that the Rock God of Liyue is visiting Inazuma. The head of the family asked me to ask you if this will affect our cooperation. After all, the Rock God is well-known for his wisdom, and she may not be able to tolerate many of Inazuma's policies."

"If the Rock King Emperor meets with the General, will he suggest that the General cancel these policies? These are all unknowns... What do you think?"
