Genshin Impact: This light novel author doesn't cross the line.

Yingmei felt full of power at this moment, gripped the long sword in her hand, and prepared to make Lei Movie submit to the wishes of the people.

Lei's expression was extremely serious. She had a premonition that Yingmei would be an extremely formidable opponent after gaining the power of the people's wishes.

In the blink of an eye, Yingmei's figure had already rushed towards Lei Yingdian like a bolt of lightning, her speed and strength surpassing what they had been before. Her eyes flashed with determination and resolve, as if nothing could stop her advance.

Yingmei's every move was as fierce as a storm, leaving her no chance to fight back. Her hands swung rapidly, drawing arcs and carrying a sharp gust of wind as she charged towards Lei Yingdian.

Faced with Yingmei's fierce attacks, Lei Yingdian was somewhat overwhelmed. She could only defend herself and try her best to avoid Yingmei's attacks.

However, despite the unfavorable situation, Lei Films did not give up and continued to try and look for opportunities to fight back.

The battle between the two had reached a fever pitch, with intense elemental collisions filling the air.

Every attack and defense is carried with determination and resolve.

As the battle continued, Ray's disadvantage became increasingly apparent. Her strength was gradually dwindling, and each attack became exceptionally difficult.

Her movements became slower and slower, and each swing of her naginata seemed powerless.

She was exhausted and panting, so much so that she was unable to effectively resist Yingmei's attacks.

The thunder wheel behind them gradually dimmed.

Finally, Yingmei seized an opportunity and knocked Lei Yingdian to the ground.

With graceful movements, Yae no Miko walked lightly to Lei Yingdian, who was getting up. "You've lost, Ying!"

Lei Yingdian struggled to his feet and sighed softly, "Yes, I lost."

"Do you see the power of the people's wishes? Those wishes have transcended space and time, and even you, as the ruler of Inazuma, cannot suppress them."

“Divine Child, have you forgotten the disaster of more than five hundred years ago? Shin, Kitsui-no-miya, and Torachiyo all perished here! The scars inflicted on Inazuma still burn painfully to this day. Therefore, I grant my subjects an eternal dream.”

"Shadow, you're still so stubborn. Moving forward will make us lose, but it will also make us gain. For hundreds of years, I have constantly lost and gained. I've seen the dazzling beauty of fireworks and also experienced the desolation after they bloom. Don't refuse to gain just because you're afraid of losing."

Ueno Chiki stepped forward and looked directly at Lei Yingdian. "General, I know you have lost many precious things for this country. But if you stay here, you will see no new hope and no new excitement."

Lei Films stubbornly maintained, "What you call dazzling and wonderful is nothing but a fragile illusion!"

Yae no Miko had a headache and slapped her forehead. "You really are a blockhead! Without desire, without change, a kingdom that merely exists is nothing but an empty shell. Even if it's destroyed, what difference does it make? The remaining ashes will be eternal."

"Divine Child, please retract your presumptuous words!" Lei Yingdong's tone was full of dissatisfaction and anger.

"So you still care about your country and your people, right? In that case, why not listen to their voices? Ask them what they really want? Is it a stagnant life, or a positive and progressive future?"

"What they want is not important. Only eternity is closest to the principles of Heaven, and can never be destroyed by them."

Actually, Lei's idea isn't necessarily wrong. There is a natural order in this world, and any country that poses a threat to the world will be destroyed by that natural order, without exception.

Back then, the technology of the Kanria had reached an unprecedented peak in human civilization. However, they were not content with this and turned their attention to taboos and gods, constantly trampling on the rules established by Heaven. Therefore, Heaven and the Seven Gods descended to deliver judgment.

It was precisely because he witnessed tragedies like Canria's that Ray's films remained so steadfast in their unwavering belief.

“General, let me tell you a story. Perhaps it will give you a new understanding of eternity,” Ueno Chiki said.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

"Oh?" Lei Yingdong raised an eyebrow. "Then go ahead and tell me."

"Long ago, there was a very powerful country on the continent called Qing Kingdom. Several generations of monarchs were innovative and enterprising, and the country reached its peak. In order to make the country prosperous forever, the monarch issued a decree to close the country off from the outside world, stop all exchanges with the outside world, and stop the development of all new technologies."

Upon hearing this, Lei Yingdian couldn't help but say, "That country should be able to prosper for thousands of generations."

Chiki Ueno shook his head and continued, "In fact, no. The country was destroyed in less than two hundred years because it stopped developing while other countries in the world continued to develop. While the country was still indulging in its old dreams, foreign powers had already pried open its doors with guns and cannons. What followed was a century of humiliation."

Lei Movie immediately retorted, "Inazuma, I am here! I will protect the safety of this country."

"How many gods have died in the War of Kanria? Gods may be powerful, but can they truly protect their people forever? General, take a good look at this world. Our Inazuma has completely fallen behind the world's development. Touhou and Fontaine are already highly developed industrial nations. If they wanted to, they could destroy our Inazuma at any time!"

Chiki Ueno's clear voice echoed in the Pure Land of One Heart.

At this moment, Lei could no longer remain indifferent; she truly hadn't considered this possibility. If what he described really happened, how should Inazuma face it?

At this moment, he was no longer the powerful figure who could cleave through the narrow gap of the Unthinkable Blade with a single strike.

"I admit there's some truth to what you said."

Yae no Miko smiled faintly, "Sigh, you're really stubborn. You already have the answer in your heart, but you just don't want to admit it. After all, you are the god of Inazuma, how can you just admit it so easily?"

"I... I didn't think that way," Lei Yingdian immediately retorted, but her rebuttal lacked conviction.

"You're not being honest. You're actually happy to see me, aren't you? After all, you've been stuck in this wretched place for hundreds of years. Waaah, so pitiful."

"Divine Child, don't say such childish things."

"In short, the Eye Hunting Edict and the Isolation Edict are to be abolished immediately, and your eternal righteousness must also be revised."

Lei Yingdian nodded. "The traveler has won against me. I agree to abolish the Eye Hunting Order and the Isolation Order. As for the rest, we'll talk about it in the future."

Chapter 75 A new beginning

On a winter morning, the wind is as cold as a knife, and the chill seems to pierce into one's bones.

However, this did not dampen people's enthusiasm.

In front of Yaedo, the queue stretched like a dragon, winding all the way to the end of Hanamizaka. People were waiting, waiting for the release of the latest hot novel, a chance to immerse themselves in another world.

There are probably two reasons for this situation. First, light novels are one of the few forms of entertainment that ordinary people can afford. Second, the novel "Night Shift Ward: The Coerced Second Head Nurse" is just too explosive.

Among the crowd, a pure and lovely blonde girl stood out, with a flying creature beside her.

“Traveler, I always feel like people are looking at us strangely,” Paimon said, noticing the odd stares.

"Of course, I'm a famous traveler, you know." Yingmei put her hands on her hips, feeling very good about herself.

Paimon quickly shook his head, "I don't think it's because of that."

"What else could it be? It can't be because I was queuing up to buy a novel."

As they were talking, Yingmei reached the counter, waved her hand, and shouted, "Kuroda, give me a copy of 'Night Shift Ward: The Coerced Second Head Nurse'!"

Kuroda was completely stunned. Many people came to him to buy novels, but she was the first to so confidently call out the name of this novel, and she was a girl.

He quickly took out a novel wrapped in white paper from behind and handed it over.

"How many Mora?" Yingmei took out her purse, ready to pay the fee.

Kuroda waved his hand, "Traveler, given your special relationship with Chiki, you don't need to pay?"

"Huh? What does this have to do with Qian Shu?" Yingmei asked, looking puzzled.

Kuroda then realized he had let something slip: the author of "Night Shift Ward: The Coerced Second Head Nurse" was a toy merchant from Shifu, and had nothing to do with Ueno Chiki.

“Qian Shu and I are very good friends, and you are his girlfriend,” he hurriedly explained.

Yingmei's face immediately turned as red as a boiling kettle, with steam rising from her head. "Hehe, girlfriend."

Seeing her silly look, Paimon sensed something was seriously wrong; Yingmei had clearly fallen for Ueno Chiki.

Ueno Chiki is a bit poor, but she has a great personality, is very caring, and most importantly, she can cook!

Her cooking skills are far inferior to Xiangling's, but unlike Xiangling, she doesn't engage in pranks or always prepare bizarre ingredients for her and the Traveler. Back in Liyue, she and the Traveler ate Hilichurl sticks, slime condensate, and fragments of a baby dragon's armor at Xiangling's place...

Yingmei put the novel into her spatial backpack and left Yaedo with Paimon.

Just then, a hurried voice suddenly came from the street, "Hurry to the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue, there is about to be a duel before the Emperor!"

"A duel before the emperor?" Yingmei couldn't help but feel a little curious, as she herself had participated in a duel before the emperor once.

"Traveler, let's go take a look!" Paimon was also very curious and eager to see what was going on.

........

On the wooden platform of the Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed Statue, a warrior in red coldly stared at his opponent, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Not far away, Lei Yingdian and Kujo Sara stood facing the wind. The duel in front of the emperor was solemn and sacred, but at this moment, both of them looked very impatient.

"Saro, how many times has he initiated a duel before the emperor?" Lei asked, somewhat annoyed.

Kujo Sara replied helplessly, "This is the fifth time, Shogun. Perhaps we should change the rules for the duel before the Emperor."

"Let me think about this some more." Lei Yingdong hesitated for a moment, but ultimately rejected Kujo Sara's suggestion. Because the duel before the emperor was also part of her once-eternal rules, wouldn't changing those rules prove that her eternity had flaws?

The duel on the field ended quickly; the red-clad warrior defeated his opponent with a single strike.

Kujo Sara glanced at it, stepped onto the stage, and announced loudly, "In this duel before the Emperor, Ujin has emerged victorious. The loser, Hiiragi Shinsuke, will be granted death."

Righten nodded in satisfaction and gracefully sheathed his katana.

After his victory, he did not leave. Instead, he shouted to General Raiden, "General, I hereby formally challenge Takatsukasa Susumu, the magistrate of the Heavenly Territory, to a duel before the Emperor!"

Before she could finish speaking, Kujo Sara's eyes were practically spitting fire. "Yojin, are you ever going to stop? You've already started five duels before the Emperor this month!"

"You're in a hurry! But don't rush." ​​Youren picked at his ear, feeling quite pleased.

"Don't go too far, or I'll challenge you to a royal duel!" Kujo Sara said angrily.

"Then you should line up first. I have many other people I need to duel with in front of the emperor. I will notify you when it is your turn."

"Youren, what will it take to satisfy you?"

“Satisfied?” The carefree Yujin suddenly seemed like a different person, and said with a serious face, “Then why don’t you ask the Kansei Commissioner Hiiragi Shinsuke how much he can exploit the people before he is satisfied?”

This autumn, they actually levied 80% of the grain from farmers. Did you ask about that?

I came here on behalf of the people to seek justice, and now you're asking me if I'm satisfied?

At this point, he raised his voice, his tone firm and resolute, "Then let me tell you, I will never be satisfied until justice is served!"

Upon hearing his words, the crowd below erupted in cheers and applause. He had previously been ridiculed as a coward for not participating in the duel before the emperor because Ueno Chiki had tricked him.

However, he is now regarded as a hero by the people and is known in the martial arts world as "Judge Inazuma".

Yujin scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. It was Ueno Senki's idea to constantly challenge the corrupt high-ranking officials, the Tenryō-bō and the Kanjō-bō, to duels before the emperor. He also taught Yujin to say these words.

Seeing this, Kujo Sara couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. "Right Jin, the punishment of the two great magistrates should be decided by the Shogun."

Yu Ren sneered, "The General has made up his mind? So the result is that Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke will be imprisoned for life, and the rest will go back to reflect?"

"Well, this punishment is a bit lenient, but..."

"No buts. General's benevolence towards the nobles is cruelty towards the common people," Yu Ren interrupted her directly. "Since the two great magistrates can use the rules, why can't I use the rules? Is Inazuma Inazuma the nobles' Inazuma or the common people's Inazuma?"

Lei Yingdian's face was frosty. Although she was a little far away from the two of them, as a goddess, how could she not hear their conversation clearly?

Youren's words deeply touched her.
