Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

Since the Wind God's Families don't want them to know certain things, it's naturally not appropriate for them to delve any further, as that would benefit no one.

"Then let's go to the place where the ancient tree is first. It would be a good thing if the ley lines of the snow mountain could be calmed down a little. If things continue like this, our trip to the snow mountain will hardly yield any results."

Aside from Amber, the others also supported going to see if they could do anything with the ancient tree that Su Feng had mentioned had been revived. After all, it wouldn't be easy for just the few of them to fight against the terrible environment of the entire snow mountain.

Fortunately, Su Feng was not some unreliable bard under normal circumstances. He quickly led the others to a piece of solid ice that looked rather strange.

"Crack!"

Upon seeing the solid ice, Su Feng casually waved his hand, and a gust of cold wind brought several Crimson Deep Stones, unique to the snow mountain, which were then crushed and their concentrated power completely annihilated the solid ice in front of him.

"Buzz!"

As the ice shattered, a strange fragment appeared before everyone. Before anyone could react, the fragment suddenly flew into the sky, and then, to everyone's disbelief, it sliced ​​through the terrifying blizzard on the snow-capped mountain and flew into the summit.

"That is......"

After witnessing this scene, almost everyone turned their attention to Su Feng. However, in the face of everyone's puzzled looks, Su Feng simply shook his head casually, clearly not intending to tell everyone what was going on.

After the fragments flew away, a seemingly fragile and slender crimson tree trunk suddenly emerged from the dry and cold earth. As this strange branch spread, the cold wind that had been surrounding everyone was gradually blocked.

Even as the tree trunk grew, the emotional turmoil caused by the ley lines seemed to gradually subside.

"Is this the ancient tree that once sheltered the snow-capped mountains?"

After sensing the gradually calming ley lines around her, Ying couldn't help but ask this question. She could feel the throbbing, sadness, longing, and anger of the new sprout in front of her.

But what is it resentful about?

Chapter 49 Communication on the Snow Mountain

"Alright, this is the new sprout of that ancient tree. With the suppression and dredging of this newly sprouted ancient tree, the earth veins of the snow mountain will gradually calm down. However, if you want to completely calm down the earth veins of the snow mountain in a short period of time, then you must go to the top of the mountain."

After carefully examining the new sprout in front of him, Su Feng nodded. The sprout was indeed growing well, but after being nourished by dragon blood, it was no longer a pure silver-white ancient tree.

It's a bit of a pity, but it's not something he can interfere with anyway, so he just sighs a little and that's it.

"You're not planning to join us?"

Ying keenly sensed something from Su Feng's words, and Su Feng nodded seriously in response to Ying's question. He had no intention of hiding his upcoming itinerary.

"Yes, after all, the reason I came to the snow mountain this time is because I have some things to take care of, so I have to go and do my own things now!"

"Eh? Mr. Su, are you going to do something by yourself? Wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to go alone?"

Meanwhile, Bennett, who had been in a daze until now, finally came to his senses—it's not that the boy was confused, but rather that he had never encountered so many strange and unusual things before.

He has encountered all sorts of dangers, and so far today he has only encountered an excessive number of monsters on the snow mountain, which is already quite lucky for him. This almost made him think that his belief in the metaphysical principle of first using up bad luck and then ushering in good luck had really come true!

"It's alright, I'm quite confident in my abilities. But you guys need to be careful in your next operation. After all, besides the monsters and the Abyss Order, there's a group of not-so-friendly guys on the snow mountain right now. If you encounter any strangers, remember to stay alert!"

Since Bennett was the only one among everyone present who didn't know Su Feng's true identity, Su Feng wasn't annoyed by the unlucky but enthusiastic boy's advice. He could feel that the boy genuinely cared about him, so he was willing to respond to him.

"But... okay, then you should be careful too. If you encounter any enemies or difficulties that you can't fight, remember to signal us, and we will get there as quickly as possible."

Bennett wanted to say something more, but in the end he only gave a reminder and that was it. Although he wasn't that smart, he could still tell from some of Su Feng's previous small details that Su Feng's strength was beyond his reach. Since Su Feng said he had his own things to deal with, it must be because there were difficulties and dangers that they couldn't participate in at the moment.

Even so, this enthusiastic young man still made the greatest promise he could.

"Haha! Thanks a lot!"

Bennett's promise, which could be described as presumptuous, sounded somewhat ridiculous, but Su Feng couldn't help but laugh—he could genuinely feel the other party's enthusiasm, and he figured few people would dislike such heartfelt concern for others.

"So, goodbye!"

After bidding a final farewell to everyone, Su Feng rode the wind and flew into the sky. Once he disappeared from everyone's sight, he transformed into a gentle breeze and merged into the snowstorm.

When he reappeared, he was standing in front of two solitary figures on the summit of the snow-capped mountain.

Yes, there are people on the summit of the snow-capped mountain, and there are two of them—the doctor and the stragglers.

The blizzard surrounding the entire snow-capped mountain is an insurmountable barrier for most people, but once one's strength reaches a certain level, almost no one cares about this blizzard.

If you want to overcome the wind and snow, there's always a way.

The Doctor and the Scattered Soldier are clearly people with that kind of ability.

"What, do you want to break through the wind barrier I erected and take this destiny star away directly? If you can do that, I don't mind if you take this destiny star away."

Su Feng crossed his arms and leaned against the cliff beside him, saying these words indifferently.

Long before Su Feng landed the Destiny Star on the top of the snow mountain, he had already set up a wind wall to defend against external enemies. Inside the wind wall, the Destiny Star, which symbolizes all of Leonard's obsessions and memories, was constantly flashing its light.

As the star of destiny twinkled, the shattered celestial nail atop the snow-capped mountain also shone faintly.

It was precisely because of the existence of this Sky Nail that neither the Doctor nor the skirmishers dared to cause too much trouble.

After all, they weren't the brutes of the Abyss Order. While the 'rebels' whose minds were almost completely corrupted by the Abyss might not care about the majesty of Sky Nails symbolizing the Sky Isles, Winter and the Fools, who hadn't yet fully raised the banner of rebellion, couldn't afford to be indifferent.

It's not time to break ties with Tianli yet. They still need to be careful. Or rather, if they start a war with Sky Island before the grand plan is fully completed, there is almost no chance of victory until winter.

"Phew~ I don't think Mondstadt would become our enemy right now, right? Otherwise, Mondstadt wouldn't have launched an expedition, would they?"

When Su Feng appeared, the Doctor couldn't help but let out a deep breath. If he could only roughly estimate the strength of the Wind God and his followers before, then after Su Feng appeared in front of him, many of his assumptions and plans were thrown into the trash can.

Even though no one has any intention of taking direct action right now, the fact that the other party has almost absolute control over the omnipresent wind is enough for the Doctor to know that these so-called demon gods and their familiars are definitely not a joke.

The doctor could sense that the wind on the snow mountain had blatantly changed its appearance after Su Feng arrived. It seemed that as long as Su Feng gave the order, the cold wind that had not dissipated for thousands of years on the snow mountain could completely turn him and the soldiers into two eternal statues!

So the statement that there are differences even among demons and gods is really true!

"The absence of an irreconcilable conflict between the two sides does not mean that there will be no conflict. Moreover, you have already gone too far. Even if the gods have reached a tacit understanding for some reason, there are limits to such an understanding."

Su Feng looked at the Doctor and the Scatterers in front of him with a half-smile. He knew very well that these two guys had no bottom line at all. If he didn't keep a close eye on them now, they would definitely not hesitate to cause more trouble in Mondstadt.

What's more, the Doctor has caused a lot of trouble in Mondstadt in the past. If we don't keep a close eye on him, who knows what kind of illness he might have this time!

"Then may I be allowed to observe and study this life star below without conducting any destructive research? I don't think that should be a big problem, right?"

The Doctor could certainly sense the hostility emanating from Su Feng, which made it seem as if the whole world was resisting and loathing him. Even so, the Doctor still made his request.

After all, what lies before them is a Destiny Star and a Broken Heavenly Nail that seems to be linked to the Destiny Star. If the Doctor doesn't take a good look at them, he won't be able to let himself off the hook!

Chapter Fifty: Only Barbatos slacks off!

"Actually, it wouldn't be a problem for you to take a little look at it."

"But you should know what the Sky Spikes mean, right?"

Su Feng looked at the Doctor with a rather strange gaze. Even the Doctor, who was exceptionally powerful and had long since ceased to be human, still felt immense pressure under Su Feng's gaze. He felt that the way Su Feng looked at him was no different from the way he used to look at those consumable items.

Does this guy think he's just cannon fodder for scouting ahead?

"So, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Although he was arrogant enough to want to create a god and ascend to a position equal to the Creator, ambition is ambition. The Doctor was not so arrogant as to lose sight of the situation. So even though he felt quite uncomfortable under Su Feng's gaze, even to the point of wanting to take action, he still managed to control his emotions.

He knew very well that he was no match for them.

It was precisely because of his in-depth study of gods and demons that the Doctor understood just how outrageous these elemental beings who wielded power truly were.

If the boundless elemental power possessed by gods is something that mortals can still rival through various means, then the various powers that cannot be expressed in language or writing are truly unreasonable, telling mortals that so-called demons and gods are simply cheating!

There are differences even among demon gods. The Doctor considers himself no less than an ordinary demon god, but he also knows that he cannot be a match for the first generation of the Seven Rulers of the Mortal World.

After confirming that neither the Wind God nor his two familiars were ordinary demon gods, the Doctor knew that he would have no chance of winning if he made a move.

The only thing to be thankful for now is that what he came to Mondstadt was just a fragment, and Winter, who has almost openly prepared to defy the laws of nature, has indeed received some degree of tacit approval or even support from the Mondstadt wind god in many places.

Otherwise, he would probably face the pursuit of the gods.

"This Sky Nail does look shattered, but you should know that it only looks shattered."

"If you really treat this Heavenly Nail as a piece of debris, you'll probably suffer a great loss. Even the Empress might not be able to protect you then."

Su Feng spoke to the Doctor with a blank expression, and upon hearing this, the Doctor's body stiffened instinctively, but fortunately, his good mindset allowed him to recover quickly.

"If that's the case, why did you leave this thing on the snow mountain for so long?"

The doctor was completely dumbfounded when he heard this result from Su Feng.

Are these Mondstadt people and gods really that brave? They just carelessly leave a giant toy here that could blow up the entire Mondstadt at any moment without doing anything about it?

There are still some traces of the Abyss left behind by the Abyss Order on this nail!

Aren't they afraid that if the Abyss Order activates this thing, they might accidentally blow Mondstadt into the sky as well?

"Oh? So you can feel fear too! I thought you were one of those crazy scholars who had no taboos!"

“If you’re afraid of this, you can’t be considered a qualified scholar.”

Seeing the obvious change in the doctor's expression, Su Feng revealed a slightly cunning smile; he really enjoyed seeing others make that kind of face.

"I crave endless knowledge, but I at least know to respect taboos and power when I am weak!"

"After all, if even existence itself ceases to exist, then even the highest ideals are nothing but empty talk."

The doctor was somewhat annoyed by Su Feng's mockery, but fortunately, having often felt this kind of emotion from his 'stupid' colleagues, he had considerable experience in controlling himself.

"So... what exactly do you want? And what do we have to give up to get what we want?"

After regaining control of his emotions, the doctor decided not to play games with Su Feng anymore.

He didn't think that Su Feng was standing here to maintain the friendship between the seven kingdoms, especially considering what he had done in Mondstadt. The fact that he hadn't been directly dealt with by these gods clearly meant that he still had enough value.

"Just wait, and you will naturally get what you want. As for the price you will have to pay... don't worry, someone has already paid the price for what you have done."

"By the way, let me warn you that the secrets hidden in this world are far more numerous than you know, but just as easily, you could disappear the next moment if you're not careful."

After the doctor regained control of his emotions, Su Feng lost interest in him. Now, he was rather amused as he looked at the skirmisher on the other side, who was standing with his arms crossed and staring at him with a ferocious expression.

Clearly, he had left a rather deep impression on the skirmishers last time. If he wasn't certain that he was no match for them, the skirmishers might have already rushed over and fought him to the death!

"Someone has already paid the price... Hmph! Do all gods enjoy spouting these mysterious nonsense like you lot?"

The doctor, who seemed to have been tricked by the riddle master, looked even worse after hearing Su Feng's answer.

As a top researcher, he couldn't stand vague and deliberately mysterious answers. If his subordinates had given him such a response, they would probably have been sent to the lab as consumables long ago.

If he could, he would love to grab Su Feng and force him to reveal all the secrets he knew, but unfortunately, he couldn't do that now, so he could only tolerate these guys dealing with him in this riddle-like manner.

"Alright, I see you have other things to do. In that case, you should go and do your own things first. It's not a good place for you to stay for too long."

"After all, I also have my own things to take care of."
