Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

With a casual wave of his hand, the Golden Roc Yaksha created a storm that prevented arrows from falling, and with a thrust of his spear, the towering wall collapsed instantly.

Just as Shi Xian was about to make another move, a dark shadow suddenly flashed before his eyes, followed by the light of a spear. Shi Xian was so frightened that he quickly used his shrinking technique to escape.

However, while this move might work against ordinary people, it was not effective against the Golden Roc Yaksha, who was able to keenly detect his presence.

In the moment of crisis, a giant wave surged in, interrupting the Golden Roc Yaksha's pursuit.

The latter looked up.

"Golden Roc!"

Fa Nan and Su Chen appeared amidst the giant waves.

"Empress Ji!"

"Empress Ji!"

"Empress Ji!"

The members of the Ji tribe shouted in unison.

Your return greatly boosted the morale of the Ji tribe. Even the Golden Roc Yaksha hesitated briefly due to the appearance of Fa Nan, but soon, words like a demonic chant echoed in his mind.

[The Golden Roc Yaksha was shrouded in black power, becoming uncontrollable; even the voice of the demon could not reach him.]

[You know this is the influence of the Dream Demon God, and the only way to awaken the Golden-Winged Yaksha is to temporarily suppress this power.]

"Make your move." Su Chen looked at the crazed Xiao and said to Fa Nan, "I'll suppress him, you think of other ways."

Fanan said, "I can try to use a secret technique to awaken his sanity, but it will take time."

"give it to me."

[Xiao, now three times stronger due to his corruption and influenced by the Dream Demon God, is far more powerful than Fanan, but still no match for you.]

[You didn't want to kill him just like that, so you chose to control him directly. Taking advantage of this, Fa Nan used a secret technique of the Yaksha clan to enter the depths of the Golden Roc Yaksha's consciousness.]

[With her intervention, the Golden-Winged Yaksha briefly regained consciousness, but along with it came a wisp of the Dream Demon God's will.]

[The Golden Roc Yaksha is so powerful that even the Dream Demon God would find it difficult to completely control him. Therefore, the Dream Demon God left a wisp of consciousness within him to "mentally brainwash" the Golden Roc Yaksha at any time.]

Realizing this, you and Fanan acted simultaneously, slaying this wisp of consciousness.

"I..." The consciousness of the Dream Demon God was extinguished, and the Golden Roc Yaksha fully regained consciousness.

He looked around blankly.

"Golden Roc!"

Fa Nan appeared before him, his face full of smugness: "I saved you this time, you know."

“Fa Nan…” Jin Peng gradually recalled what had happened before.

Although he was under control, his consciousness remained, only it had become numb. Now that the influence of the Dream Demon God had disappeared, Jinpeng naturally regained his former rationality.

"I...killed many innocent people."

He stared blankly at his hands.

"At least nothing serious has happened," Su Chen said calmly. He had learned from Shi Xian that Jin Peng had not been under control for long and had not yet committed any heinous mistakes in the game.

Of course, in this chaotic era, bloodshed was inevitable, and many people must have died at Jinpeng's hands.

"I'm going to kill him!" Jin Peng said in a low voice.

Just as Fa Nan was about to offer some advice, Su Chen said, "If you rush over there, you'll probably be controlled by Him before you even make a move, and then you'll become a weapon that only knows how to kill."

Even if he could easily defeat Jinpeng, he wouldn't dare say he could beat the Dream Demon God.

Although demon gods vary in strength, the fact that this opponent can control the Golden Roc indicates that their power should not be underestimated.

Fanan immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, going there would be suicide... no, it would be worse than death."

Jin Peng was silent.

He was not afraid of death, but he feared that his death would be meaningless, or that he wouldn't even be able to die.

But if he doesn't seek revenge, he doesn't know what he can do now.

Su Chen saw through his thoughts and said, "Although you have regained your senses now, that demon god will never let this matter rest. Since we have the same enemy, why don't you stay here for now? It's better to join forces than to be defeated one by one by Him."

“You are very powerful.” Jin Peng looked up at Su Chen. “I can sense that your power has reached that level.”

Vanan said, "He is human."

His tone was somewhat smug.

She seemed to be showing off the people she knew to Jin Peng.

"Can you help me kill Him?"

"It may not be possible now, but it certainly will be in the future."

"That's just how he is, so arrogant, isn't he?" Fa Nan looked at Jin Peng with a smile. "He's clearly a human."

Jin Peng saw through Fa Nan's plan.

How far can a tiny human being go?

He committed murder, and his only way to atone for his sins in this life is to slowly redeem himself. Since that's the case, he might as well fight alongside Su Chen.

[Golden Roc Yaksha has decided to temporarily join the Princess Clan.]

[The morale of the Ji tribe has increased, their faith has rallied, and your strength has improved.]

The crisis for the Princess clan has come to an end, but new troubles are soon on their way.

[The demon god is immortal; even the death of a mere wisp of his consciousness has an extremely terrifying impact. Soon, the black power began to corrupt this land, and many of his people were consumed by the remnants of the demon god, transforming into filth.]

Despite the Golden Roc Yaksha's tireless efforts to cleanse the filth, the influence of demonic power is almost impossible to eradicate in this era. Seeing the pollution worsening, you begin to consider a decision.

The Ji tribe has reached 200,000 people, but after exceeding this number, population growth has almost stopped. Resource allocation has become the biggest obstacle. In addition, the influence of the remnants of the demon god means that if the Ji tribe wants to further develop, it must find a suitable place for the tribe to live.

[West of Tianheng Mountain, including the area where Lingju Pass is located, lies a vast region with relatively little warfare, but the land is mostly mountainous and hilly, making it unsuitable for farming.]

[To the east, near the sea, the marine resources are abundant. However, there are powerful demons invading the sea. Although the Ji tribe is strong enough that it shouldn't face too much of a problem unless attacked by a powerful demon god, you are well aware of the terror of the vortex demon god Oser, so you did not choose to migrate immediately.]

"The northeastern area is rich in resources and is a battleground for many demons. But if you go east beyond this area, where the plains meet the shallows, there is a place called Yaoguang Beach. North of Yaoguang Beach, there are mountains and forests, and the resources are fertile enough to support the Ji tribe." Shi Xian drew a simple map on the ground.

Fa Nan said, "It seems there is also a demon god in this area."

"The Salt Demon God Heureia, however, is gentle by nature and never advocates fighting. Moreover, she is not particularly powerful and has always stayed in one place. Other demon gods rarely bother her because they see that she poses no threat."

Su Chen shook his head and said, "In chaotic times, how can one live in peace? It's just that we don't have time to take care of her for the time being. Once the conflicts in other places are over, it will be her turn."

Heureia, according to later legends, was killed by her own people. As a demon god, although she was gentle, she was also too weak.

But this situation was just right for the Hime clan.

"Here," Su Chen pointed to the most central location of Qiongji Field, "what's the situation now?"

Jin Peng said, "A multitude of demons and gods have risen up, and the Dream Demon is one of them, along with many other demon gods whose strength is no less than His."

"Hmm...who has the strongest power?"

"Morac, the God of Precious Metals".

...

Chapter 44 Rock King and Dust God, Ji Huang Slays the Dream Demon, Title: 'Emperor Xuanyuan' [6k]

Morax, the God of Precious Metal, is one of the overlords of the ancient Liyue lands in the struggle for supremacy. Rumor has it that he is also the oldest known demon god, and the extent of his power is unknown.

[You know how terrifying Morax is. The future god of Liyue is currently embroiled in a war between demons and gods, and will certainly not be as refined and amiable as he will be in later generations. Fortunately, Morax's "brutality" is only in relation to demons. It is said that He cherishes humanity and has countless subjects under His command. As long as the Princess clan does not show any malice and does not actively provoke His power, they will be safe.]

After discussions, the Ji tribe began preparations to relocate to the Yaoguang Beach area.

[The journey ahead is long and fraught with danger. Although the Ji tribe is powerful, it is largely populated by the elderly, weak, women, and children. Before your departure, you consulted the oracle, and the result was not good; misfortune and calamity are all predetermined.]

How can one grow without experiencing hardships?

Looking at the long procession, Su Chen seemed to have an epiphany.

Despite knowing the dangers, the journey had to continue.

Unlike the last simulation, Mondstadt five hundred years ago was a fully-established kingdom, while the entire Hime tribe is now an infant in swaddling clothes. Even if it seems powerful, it will be completely crushed by the storms of this era once it leaves its protection.

He needs to help the Ji tribe grow, and he needs more talent, better technology, and more abundant resources.

[The migration across mountains and rivers was something no one had initially imagined would be so difficult. Everyone believed that as long as the Empress was there, the migration would proceed smoothly.]

However, as disaster drew ever closer, the Hime clan faced a variety of challenges.

The Ji tribe is too famous in the Tianheng Mountain area; even many powerful beings outside have heard of them. Some of these beings have expressed goodwill towards the Ji tribe, but many more are actually coveting its resources, while others simply want to prove their own strength by destroying the Ji tribe and challenging the Ji Emperor.

"A giant beast from the mountains, having heard of the name of the Ji Emperor, disdained the insignificant power of humankind and stirred up huge rocks that rolled down the Ji tribe's path. The Ji Emperor intervened and slew it."

“In ancient times there was a vicious dragon with a triangular head and a dragon-like body, a length of a hundred feet. It spewed poisonous mist from its mouth, and all things would retreat when it moved. When it encountered the Ji tribe, it said, ‘I can kill you all in an instant.’ It was then beheaded by the Ji Emperor.”

"Many spirits dwell in the mountains. At night, a great fire suddenly breaks out in the forest, engulfing the mountains and forests. Countless spirits are in the fire, causing panic among the tribe. Ji Huang raised the Xuanyuan Sword to break their magic, and the monsters revealed their true forms. The warriors of the Ji tribe then killed them."

"When a plague struck, many people in the tribe fell ill. The Ji Emperor traveled for three days to find good medicine to cure them, and the Ji tribe was then at peace."

"When encountering flash floods, the Yaksha, a subordinate of the Ji Emperor, protects them. When encountering storms, the Golden Roc protects them."

"The Ji tribe went through countless dangers, losing five or six tenths of its members, before finally obtaining the land. Later generations called this the beginning of the Ji tribe's transformation."

—Excerpt from "The Biography of Ji Huang"

At nineteen, you led the Ji tribe to Yaoguang Beach, where they began to thrive and multiply.

This migration dealt a heavy blow to the Ji tribe, but at the same time, you discovered that the entire Ji tribe did not despair or become anxious; instead, they became even more courageous and united.

[You understand that your decision was right. This journey marks the beginning of Himebu's transformation. Having weathered the storms, Himebu has shed her swaddling clothes and is beginning to face the outside world.]

[Your dark will has been triggered, increasing your strength.]

[Improved the effects of the Human Emperor template.]

At twenty years old, the Ji tribe had fully established itself in Yaoguang Beach. Under your leadership, the tribesmen repaired city walls and watchtowers, and manufactured crossbows for defense.

At that time, giant sea monsters frequently caused trouble in the southern coastal waters of Yaoguang Beach. Countless sea beasts landed on the shore to harass the Ji tribe. After many battles, the Ji tribe successfully slew the monsters. The warriors of the Ji tribe killed countless sea monsters and obtained their treasures to make tools.
