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

"Brother Xuanyuan, you're sleeping here again."

A pretty blue-haired girl walked over.

Her gentle voice carried a hint of reproach as she saw Su Chen lying on the bamboo chair basking in the sun. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a look of heartache appeared in her eyes.

Su Chen opened his eyes, looked at the person who had come in, and smiled, "It's comfortable here."

"It's cold," the girl said.

"This is nothing. Back in the day, during the cold wave in Liyue City, countless people froze to death at that temperature," Su Chen said nonchalantly.

"That was so many years ago... You're always like this, you don't know how to take care of your body."

"Hmm...it's not that exaggerated, is it? Although I haven't fought in a few years, I'm still capable of slaying demon gods." Seeing the girl's distressed expression, Su Chen shook his head helplessly: "It must be that Zhong Li guy said something nonsense, right?"

"The Emperor is not talking nonsense, Brother Xuanyuan's health is not as good as before."

"Ah, alright, alright... Gan Yu, is everything done?"

Seeing that Su Chen had changed the subject again, Gan Yu pouted, but still said, "The matter of the academy is almost over. The first batch of students has officially enrolled and is being taught by a few immortals. The other immortals are fine, but True Lord Liuyun is always complaining."

"Ha~ Let her complain, let her teach, I love to see her dissatisfied but helpless expression."

Su Chen laughed.

The Hundred Arts Academy was founded by him and Zhongli. This academy provides extraordinary power to protect Liyue, which is of great significance. Therefore, Zhongli asked the immortals to help.

With his command, the immortals would naturally obey.

Even if Liu Yun was unwilling, he had no choice but to obey.

Besides, Su Chen didn't think Liu Yun was really unwilling; he might be secretly pleased even though he said that.

"You're saying that again. Lord Liuyun will complain later." Gan Yu covered her mouth, though she wanted to laugh herself. She knew Liuyun too well. He would mutter to himself endlessly, but with strangers, he would put on a cold and aloof act. Even though he didn't mean it, he would say it anyway.

“Cover it up.”

Gan Yu took a blanket out of the Chen Ge pot.

"No need."

Su Chen was both amused and exasperated. What do you take me for? Back in the day, when I went hunting in the Ji tribe, I only had a piece of cloth hanging between my legs, and I wasn't cold at all.

But seeing Gan Yu's stubborn look, Su Chen still covered her with the blanket.

At that moment, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

You look up at the snow.

Gan Yu is looking at you.

She noticed a strand of white hair at your temple.

...

[In the 78th year of the Xuanyuan Calendar, the Human Emperor turned 100.]

After years of development, Liyue Harbor and Guili Village have become completely stable. Within their borders, demons dare not invade, and monsters do not cause trouble. Although the war between the demons and gods is not yet over, Liyue's rule is now unshakeable.

That night, you expended your life essence to activate your prophetic abilities, glimpsing the secrets of heaven. The following day, you announced that Liyue was preparing to establish a nation.

The Founding Ceremony of the People's Republic of China!

The news shocked everyone in Liyue.

In this turbulent time of demonic upheaval, there is no clear concept of a nation-state in Teyvat; it is merely a general division of regions.

Su Chen's move was tantamount to being the first in the world to take this step.

Moreover, any movement here will inevitably affect the situation across the entire Teyvat continent. Some demon gods might be unhappy about it and come over in groups to cause trouble.

Su Chen didn't care about any of this.

Liyue now has two emperors, plus a powerful leader, all of whom are top-tier in terms of combat strength. The situation is basically settled.

If you want to shake Liyue's rule, why not go anywhere else to claim the throne? Why force a mutually destructive conflict?

Zhong Li did not object to Su Chen's decision.

For demons, establishing a nation is not necessary, but for humans it is of great significance.

Once a country is established and people have a home and a nation, they have a sense of belonging, and then a sense of mission. In order to protect their home, even ordinary people can unleash amazing power.

After all, Liyue has reached where it is today through the joint efforts of all its citizens. While other places are in chaos, Liyue has been able to establish itself as a nation, which is a great source of pride and honor for its people.

For Su Chen, all he wanted was to do his utmost to establish a foundation for the human race for all eternity during his lifetime.

Preparations for the founding ceremony began, and after a month of joint efforts by the people and immortals of Liyue, all preparations were complete.

At that time, a huge altar was erected on the Jade Capital Terrace. The priests read the proclamation, and all the people bowed their heads in prayer, facing the figure standing in the center of the altar.

In the clouds, immortals gather, accompanied by a hundred beasts.

Zhongli stood with his hands behind his back, calmly observing everything.

Herria's beautiful eyes sparkled with wonder. She had never imagined that one day she would witness the unification of Liyue, and that the one who brought about all these changes was a human.

That man is truly incredible.

at this time.

On the altar, Su Chen's gaze was calm and profound.

After the priest finished his proclamation, he spoke, his voice booming and resounding throughout every corner of Liyue.

"In this world, demons and gods rise up together, and the war is endless. Humanity, which started from humble beginnings, struggles to survive and lives in constant fear and unease."

"Today, I, Xuanyuan, have been entrusted by Heaven to quell the rebellion. I led the Ji tribe north out of Tianheng to fight against the demons and chaos. Now, my wish has finally been fulfilled. The rule of law governs the country, etiquette governs the people, and all people are well-fed and clothed. Therefore, I have heeded the people's wishes and established the Li Kingdom, so that the world may be united!"

Say it.

Su Chen walked on the sky, stepping above Guiliji.

At the same time, his phantom appeared in the world, visible to all living beings in Liyue, including the lurking great demons.

"The Human Emperor?!"

"What is Emperor Xuanyuan planning to do?"

"Today seems to be some kind of founding ceremony, humph! The war between demons and gods is not over yet, what right does this human emperor have to establish a nation?"

"A mere human is far too arrogant. If it weren't for Morax's protection, where would he have a place in Liyue?"

On the borders of Liyue, demon gods are eyeing the land with predatory intent.

But when they saw Su Chen raise his hand in the air, they were stunned.

Uh-huh! ——

A holy sword radiating golden light fell into Su Chen's hands.

The Xuanyuan Sword appeared, its majestic and holy power shining like a torch, illuminating the Liyue sky with a golden hue.

"It's the Xuanyuan Sword!"

The demons' gazes burned with fervor.

The name of the Xuanyuan Sword had already spread far and wide as Su Chen conquered all directions.

Some even say that the reason why the Human Emperor was so powerful was because of the power of the Xuanyuan Sword.

Whoever obtains the Xuanyuan Sword can become the new emperor!

Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang!

Under Su Chen's control, the Xuanyuan Sword suddenly flew into the air and split into nine.

Su Chen made hand seals and silently chanted incantations, causing the Xuanyuan Sword to shine as brightly as the sun. Under the holy light, all living beings felt an urge to submit from the bottom of their hearts.

The citizens of Guili Village and Liyue Harbor knelt down, their faces devout, silently chanting the name of the Human Emperor.

These forces of faith quickly converged on Su Chen.

tumultuous!!!

Su Chen suddenly 'burned'.

Golden blood flowed from his body.

This blood, along with the power of faith, transformed into golden flames that surged into the Xuanyuan Sword.

wow~

Zhongli, who had been sitting in the Emperor's Palace watching all this, suddenly stood up, took a step forward, and subconsciously wanted to stop him.

But soon, he immediately remembered what Su Chen had said to him before.

"Zhongli, I probably won't be able to protect Liyue for much longer."

"If I leave, the future of Liyue will be in your hands."

Recalling those words, Zhong Li was overwhelmed with emotion and it took her a long time to sit down again.

His feelings had never been so complicated.

Perhaps... it's because I haven't felt this 'sad' since my last descent into eternal sleep.

"Human Emperor!"

In the sky, Fa Nan and the others also noticed Su Chen's unusual behavior.

Immediately afterwards, all the people of Liyue were shocked. Although they did not know what Su Chen was going to do, their hearts were gripped with a sharp pain, as if they were about to lose something.

"My emperor!"

"My Emperor!!"

The entire land of Liyue resounded with cries of grief.

"Do not grieve, my subjects." Su Chen spoke slowly, his voice still calm, "I, of the Xuanyuan clan, today offer my blood as a sacrifice to the sword."

As that surging power continued to erupt, the Xuanyuan Sword trembled slightly, and emotions of reluctance and sorrow emanated from its blade.

Su Chen smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "Xuanyuan Sword, my wish has not yet been fulfilled."

Buzzing~~~

The Xuanyuan Sword shone with golden light, and the nine swords continued to grow larger, eventually becoming a giant sword hundreds of feet long.
