Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

"Okay, I'll help you."

Su Feng was quite helpless with this fox who always wanted to pack up and send his god away.

However, considering that he did bear some responsibility in this matter, and that he had just reached an agreement with Raiden, Su Feng did not refuse to do his part.

Anyway, it's just dealing with some losers in the war between demon gods. Su Feng doesn't think there are any heaven-defying powerhouses among those evil gods.

Just consider it a daily exercise. Besides, you might even be able to catch one or two evil gods for research. Su Feng had originally thought about exploring the Dark Outer Sea, and this is a good opportunity to conduct a preliminary investigation.

Chapter Twelve: Inazuma... They're all useless.

For most people in Teyvat, the Dark Sea is extremely mysterious—the orderly land shrouded in divine law does not welcome the chaotic Dark Sea, and mortals who can live a good life have no intention of jumping into the fire pit.

If mortals under the laws of nature are at most exploited to the extreme after death, then mortals in the Dark Sea cannot even survive.

The chaotic and untamed elements are enough to annihilate the fragile lives of mortals—or rather, the Dark Sea is the true nature of Teyvat, and the land where mortals now live has been transformed by the laws of nature.

Those demons who were forced to flee into the dark outer sea also suffered greatly.

Even for demons, the environment of the Dark Outer Sea is terrible. The power of the wilderness is almost equivalent to throwing humans into the deep sea for them, who are born under the rules of nature.

Although demons can survive after they fall into evil gods, the distorted powers and elemental forces make life worse than death for them.

More importantly, these evil gods have no chance of advancing beyond the Dark Sea.

The resentment after defeat, the distortion caused by the harsh environment, and the desire for evolution constantly urge these evil gods to attack Teyvat again and again—they yearn to return to Teyvat and plunder everything that the Seven Gods currently possess.

However, choosing to leave is easy, but returning is almost impossible.

Because the natural order has rejected the return of these losers.

Inazuma, located near the Dark Sea, is the first obstacle these evil gods face.

So far, Inazuma, the bridgehead against the Dark Sea, has performed quite well. The powerful Thor sisters have forced the already insane evil gods to come to their senses and retreat countless times.

At least until now, over the long course of time, these demon gods have gained nothing but countless remains of demons.

Now that these evil gods are trying to cause trouble again, the Inazuma samurai, who have gained confidence over the long years, have naturally begun preparing for another war with great skill.

"So, Inazuma is now in a state of war?"

After getting a general understanding of the situation, Su Feng looked thoughtfully at the Eightfold Divine Child before him.

This fox doesn't seem like much normally, but it actually came in handy at a crucial moment. It's true that no divine servant is truly useless.

"So you hope I can stop those evil gods?"

Su Feng easily found what he should do—now, besides General Raiden, only he could do this. After all, even though those evil gods had been corrupted by the environment of the Dark Sea, they were still not something that mortals or even the Eightfold Divine Child could contend with.

"Of course, I will ask Zhi Dong to do his part with the heart of God, but at most we can only deal with the demons under the evil god's command. The evil god is still beyond our ability to deal with."

Winter might send out god-level combat power out of respect for the Heart of God, but there are differences between gods.

Yae no Miko didn't think the Ice God of Winter would personally intervene, so she had to find an additional being of the Seven Gods level as much as possible.

What a coincidence! Su Feng has been standing right in front of her the whole time!

"Now I have no other choice but to come to you. The general is busy rebuilding the defenses against the thunderstorms of Inazuma and recovering from his injuries. Facing so many evil gods, we will be at a disadvantage if we don't have a strong enough fighter."

"As for the other magical beasts, we can handle them. I have already arranged for the three chieftains to recruit those sea monsters and wild beasts—it's a good opportunity to gather these wandering warriors together, so they won't cause trouble at this time."

"In order to defend against this invasion from the Dark Sea, the general has even temporarily suspended the Eye Hunting Order."

The disturbance in the Dark Sea came suddenly. Caught off guard, General Thunder even temporarily suspended the Eye Hunt in order to gather fighting strength. Now, the heads of the three major clans are further considering whether to persuade the general to temporarily return the Eye of God that he had confiscated.

After all, the possession of hundreds of God's Eyes is a great help, and it can greatly alleviate the pressure on the three magistrates when facing the people of the Dark Sea. Although a large part of the Inazuma's high-ranking officials are useless now, at least they are not completely useless.

The constant threats from the Dark Sea and their past performance made it clear to them that surrender was not an option when facing enemies from those chaotic lands.

Of course, these guys also have an almost blind worship of General Thunder. These fools believe that as long as General Thunder exists, everything else is not a problem. The reason they are now choosing to recruit wandering warriors and consider returning the Eye of God is at most to hope that their subordinates will die less in the upcoming war.

After all, the soldiers under their command are all their people. If they can use some cannon fodder to reduce the number of their own people dying, then why not do it?

In any case, recruiting those wandering samurai cost the country's money and resources.

"It's troublesome. You should handle these things yourself. You can leave the matter with the evil god to me."

After listening to Yae no Miko involuntarily begin to complain that the Inazuma leadership was just a bunch of good-for-nothings, Su Feng covered his forehead in pain.

He simply couldn't understand the so-called 'politics' of mortals, which he found utterly boring and useless, so he directly interrupted Yae no Miko's complaints and reiterated that he only wanted to and would only face any possible evil gods.

As for Su Feng's behavior of not even listening to her complaints, Yae no Miko curled her lips in disdain. However, she could understand it—because Ying usually said the same thing at this time and also dumped all the problems on her.

As expected, these high and mighty demons are difficult to deal with; how could mortals possibly handle them so easily?

If complex mortals were so easy to understand and manage, would Inazuma be like this now?

Thinking of this, Yae no Miko couldn't help but sigh again.

"Now there is one more thing I need your help with—I hope that the rebels on Haiji Island can also join this war to protect Inazuma."

"This is a responsibility they must bear for seeking refuge under the general's command."

"The traveler who came with you is currently on Haiqi Island. Through her words, we should be able to persuade Haiqi Island to reconsider cooperating with our operations."

"If possible, I hope you can pass on a message to that deep-sea flounder, saying that this is a better opportunity, and if she still doesn't get it, the next time I go to talk to her, I might be talking about the General's sword."

Normally, Yae no Miko is anything but serious, but right now, her purple pupils are filled with murderous intent—clearly, if the people of Haigi Island are really so clueless, they're probably in for a world of trouble.

Previously, Inazuma's side had various uses for this rebel army, so it wasn't a big deal to muddle through on the battlefield or even let Umijima gain a slight advantage.

However, if these rebels are still reckless when facing the Dark Sea, then Yae no Miko wouldn't mind dealing with internal matters first before engaging the enemy from the Dark Sea.

However, whether Haizhi Island will still exist by then is a question.

At this moment, Yae no Miko was not joking at all.

Chapter Thirteen: Governing the Country with AI – An Unbearable Burden

Su Feng wasn't particularly interested in the internal strife among mortals in Inazuma, and he even showed little interest in Yae no Miko's request to find the Traveler. However, when he saw Yae no Miko throw a huge pile of rather daunting-looking official documents on her desk, he immediately chose to leave Narukami Island without further ado.

It was only then that he realized that this unreliable fox had actually taken over the duties of the general, and that this guy was even starting to take charge of the confrontation with the Dark Sea in a very serious manner.

Tsk, Lei's movies are really bold, daring to let a fox guard the house. Can this fox even guard the house?

She can't protect it; she doesn't have the ability, you know?

Su Feng is now even afraid that this wave of foxes guarding the house will wipe out the entire family. If that happens, Inazuma will probably have to repeat the old story of everyone retreating to the desolate sea five hundred years ago. He just doesn't know whether it will be Lei Yingdian or Raiden Shin who comes out to save the day in that situation.

But thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that the fox was allowed to temporarily assume the general's duties. After all, the Thunder Twins were right behind the fox, so they could just clean up the mess later.

With these thoughts in mind, Su Feng drifted out of Naruto Island. Then, when she looked up, she saw Tasakasa, which seemed to be completely consumed by the resentment of the demon god at any moment; Hachiyo Island, which was surrounded by torrential rain; and Tenun Pass, which seemed to be filled with endless thunderstorms.

"..."

Well, AI ruling the country isn't necessarily any better than a fox guarding the house. There's almost no habitable place in the entire Inazuma except for Narukami Island, right?

The only remaining island, Haiqi Island, was not only incredibly barren, but it also rebelled!

Su Feng even thought that if Lei Dian were to be resurrected and see this scene, she would probably want to send her younger sister back to be rebuilt—she was just too much trouble.

And they didn't even seal away the grudges of the demon god?

Looking at the island of Ba Yun and Tian Yun Pass, which were filled with endless resentment, Su Feng couldn't help but mutter to himself, "The resentment of the demon gods in Liyue is much greater than that of Inazuma, but Zhongli has sealed it away properly."

Although there are still occasional leaks and spills, it's not to the point where the entire area is uninhabitable.

But for Inazuma, it's different; as long as they don't go to Narukami Island, it doesn't matter at all.

However, this is ultimately Inazuma's own business. Although Su Feng is quite interested in the Mikage Furnace Core that uses the resentment of the Demon God, now is not the time to study such a furnace that is about to explode.

Let's wait until everything is settled before making any decisions. Anyway, this furnace should last for a while longer. Besides, once we get the Raiden sisters on our side, surely he'll be able to take a look at Inazuma's things?

It's impossible for Inatsuma not to understand how this thing on his own territory works and to leave something that could explode at any moment and completely destroy an area of ​​land, right?

Even the most useless person has their limits.

With this in mind, Su Feng decisively skipped over these few islands that looked quite exciting and flew towards Haiqi Island, which was further away.

......

It has to be said that there seems to be no good place in Inazuma except for Narugami Island - each place has its own underworld, and each has its own different manifestations.

When Su Feng arrived at Haiqi Island, the first thing he felt was the almost pungent, wild light energy.

To be honest, he was almost dumbfounded when he first felt the light energy, which was extremely concentrated in the mortal world.

He never expected that the human realm would still retain such a place with very obvious remnants of the primordial light realm power.

Aren't Inazuma's two Thunder Gods going to do anything about it?

Don't they care about justice?

If he remembered correctly, this primordial light force was not within the order of the heavenly laws. It was really not a problem that such a huge loophole had appeared in the entire mortal world.

What's wrong with Inatsume? Why are there so many problems?

Honestly, Su Feng really wanted to turn back and ask Raiden Shin if Inazuma was only the size of Narukami Island, otherwise why were there problems everywhere else and no one was dealing with them?

He didn't think that lightning hadn't noticed the problem with Haiqi Island. Besides, the power of the wild light realm was not something that mortals and gods under the laws of heaven could easily come into contact with.

There's a problem here, or a big problem!

Almost instantly, Su Feng realized this, but after hesitating for a while, he still chose to land on Haiqi Island. He had already sensed Ying's presence. In any case, he had already come here, so he couldn't possibly turn back, could he?

Moreover, ever since arriving in Inazuma, Su Feng felt that everything about him had been arranged. He was certain that he would know the relevant information and obtain the relevant items when the time came, without any attempt to conceal anything.

Fortunately, whatever Ishtar wants to do, since she controls time, she will eventually reveal it, and the choice will naturally fall into Su Feng's hands.

Now that he has powerful backers, Su Feng is not afraid of anyone.

Then, Su Feng, who transformed into a tornado and fell directly from the sky to Ying's front, unsurprisingly alerted Coral Palace Heart Sea, who was talking to Ying, as well as a large group of Haizhi Island soldiers around them.

"Wait a minute, everyone! This is our comrade, not the enemy!"

Fortunately, Ying sensed Su Feng's arrival as he transformed into a tornado and crashed down, immediately stopping the soldiers from attacking. She wasn't worried about Su Feng getting hurt, but rather that if the soldiers attacked rashly, Su Feng would instinctively eliminate them.

Having witnessed Su Feng's fighting prowess many times, Ying knew very well just how formidable this guy was.

Even if you were to take down the entire island of Haiqi, it probably wouldn't be enough to keep him busy.

"Everyone, calm down. Ying wouldn't lie to us."

Su Feng's appearance was truly frightening. Although Ying immediately stated that Su Feng was not an enemy, the surrounding soldiers still cautiously pointed their weapons at Su Feng, who emerged from the tornado. In the end, it was only after Xin Hai spoke that the soldiers looked at each other and hesitantly released their encirclement of Su Feng.
