Can power really change a person so drastically?

For a moment, even Kujo Sara was somewhat bewildered.

Shaking her head slightly, Kujo Sara walked heavily toward the outlying island.

Furthermore, there's the matter of establishing and implementing [the policy].

…………

In just one morning, the weather in Inazuma seemed to have changed.

The people saw the orders issued by Obama outside.

When the first generation of gods returned to Inazuma, the Tenryo Magistrate and the Kansei Magistrate took advantage of the second generation Raijin's recovery period to deceive their superiors and secretly alter the gods' orders. For their own selfish interests, they issued the Eye Hunting Order and the Seclusion Order.

All have now been detained and brought to justice. The lockdown order and the Eye Hunt order have been lifted. The confiscated Eyes of God will be returned at a later date.

As for those who betrayed the country, the truth will be investigated, and they will be tried on a later date. All the embezzled funds will be confiscated and used to subsidize people's livelihoods in the future.

Due to time constraints, we can only release these information temporarily.

As for tampering with divine commands...

Since both lords are going to be gone anyway, we might as well make use of them. Gods, we can't let our mistakes become too serious, otherwise, the Lone Tower King of Mondstadt will be an example.

For the sake of Inazuma's future stability, they are determined to take the blame.

The people of Inazuma cheered and spread the news, but on Umijima Island, there was only unease.

Coral Palace Heart Sea was detained, and most of the high-ranking officials of Haiqi Island, thinking it was the final battle and wanting to share the credit, went with him.

General Goro has also disappeared, and it is said that the gods will soon judge Umijima Island.

The people of Haizhi Island panicked, and so did the spies of the Fool Clan within the Haizhi Island resistance.

The lady was cleaved in two by Thor's blade, and the soldier... well, it's best not to bother with them. They're unpredictable, and you might not even know when you'll die.

So, I don't know what to do.

…………

"Isn't this a bit too harsh?"

Inside the castle tower, Raiden hesitated somewhat as he listened to Jiang Ning's suggestion.

According to her plan, the ringleader should be executed, the accomplices should be imprisoned for life, and all the embezzled funds should be turned over to the national treasury and then used for people's livelihood.

However, Jiang Ning rejected all of his ideas outright.

Jiang Ning said, "I already said that in chaotic times, harsh measures are needed. Although Teyvat is not in a chaotic time, your Inazuma situation is already quite serious."

"So, we absolutely have to make an example of them... Just do as I say, execute all the main culprits and accomplices in the Kujo family, then those who died suddenly should be imprisoned, those who were exiled should be exiled, and the Kujo family should be stripped of their noble status. If the resistance is too fierce, we should strip them of the Kujo surname."

"Furthermore, no descendants of the Kujo family, whether direct or collateral, are allowed to work for the shogunate within three generations."

"But there are still many innocent people..."

Lightning was essentially a benevolent god, and feeling somewhat reluctant, Heuria nodded in agreement.

Jiang Ning said, "Come on, don't talk about being innocent. As a member of the Kujo family, the magistrate of the Heavenly Territory, turning a blind eye and doing nothing is aiding and abetting evil. Besides, what does it mean to be innocent? We enjoy the privileges of the Kujo family, and our food, clothing and daily necessities are all consumed with the hard-earned money squeezed from the people."

"You're telling me you're innocent? I don't see anything innocent about you. Since the Kujo family gave birth to you and raised you, you should atone for your sins. Become a commoner first and experience firsthand how difficult it is for the people of Inatsuma now."

"Moreover, having grown up in the atmosphere of the Kujo family, I don't think they can truly understand the suffering of the people."

Jiang Ning's words made a lot of sense, and Raiden Shinichi fell silent for a moment.

General Thunder snorted, "I think those who destroy eternity can simply be cut down with a single strike..."

The lightning was really powerful.

No, there's an even more outrageous one: the entire Kujo family, including all their chickens and dogs, will be wiped out.

General Raiden was also furious. After sorting out the connections and seeing the evidence presented by the Kamisato family, he finally understood.

Who is truly destroying eternity?

If Jiang Ning and Raiden hadn't stopped them, the divine lightning would have already struck the skies above the Kujo and Hiiragi families.

Actually, there are good people in the Kujo and Hiiragi families, but Jiang Ning still feels that they should be punished together at this time.

“What about Sara? That child, she is indeed loyal to the shadow, but she is also the one who has been deceived.”

I'm a little worried about the lightning.

Jiang Ning said, "It's an oversight, but it's understandable, since she's a bit stubborn... However, let's let her redeem herself through meritorious service. After all, she's one of the few subordinates we can use and trust. Once Inazuma is back on track, we'll see how much she's done during this period. If she's done well, then she can redeem herself and continue to be our general."

Yae no Miko also sighed, "Yes, she should have been stripped of her official rank and made to start from scratch as a lowly soldier... but who made up for this seclusion edict and the eye-hunting edict? Inazuma really has no one left."

"Sometimes, blind loyalty is also a sin."

The more you hear about thunder and lightning, the more headaches you get.

How did Ying Huo squander Inazuma's enormous fortune back then?

I remember that I used to have a very good relationship with Liyue. In fact, Liyue helped me with my Yin-Yang magic and protective items.

What about now? Most of the Yin-Yang techniques have been lost, and the protective objects used to ward off evil spirits are either broken or completely destroyed.

I'm completely numb.

Raiden's unfriendly gaze fell upon General Raiden: "Where's Shadow?"

"He dares not come out from within." General Thunder is still an honest god.

Raiden Shin: "...Never mind."

"Hotaru, could you do me a favor? Inazuma is really suffering because of the calamity... and Inazuma is really short-handed right now, could you..."

Ying said, "That's why this legendary traveler needs to step in. Don't worry, I'll take the job. But as good as we are, the reward can't be less."

"Don't worry, you won't suffer any losses." Raiden breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I'll be going now, time is of the essence..." Ying stood up and said.

"Remember to come back for dinner," Jiang Ning said.

"Know it!"

Ying waved her hand without turning her head.

"So, regarding the matter of Haiqi Island... I see you have a different opinion now, don't you?"

Lei Dianzhen looked at Jiang Ning and asked.

Originally, the purpose of asking Jiang Ning for his opinion was not to expect him to provide any particular advice.

As it turned out, many of these opinions were excellent and insightful.

Therefore, just to be on the safe side, Raiden Shin still inquired about Umijima.

Jiang Ning sat down casually and said:

"Actually, I don't understand... What I said before, about negotiating with Haizhi Island later... that was just a polite remark, something I said casually. Are you really planning to negotiate with them?"

"Huh?" Raiden was stunned. "Shouldn't that be?"

Jiang Ning sighed: "So... I'm asking you, is Haizhi Island considered part of Inazuma?"

"Of course forget it."

"So, is Umijima under the rule of Narukami?"

"Too."

"So, this is our own land, so we should be in charge. Why should we negotiate with them? Why not just issue a decree and have them implement it?"

"Also, the rebels' weapons must be disarmed, and the Shogunate army should be responsible for the daily extermination and defense against monsters... Isn't that the most basic thing?"

“But didn’t they say that the people over there wouldn’t agree, and that they would also keep the shogunate’s troops stationed there…” Raiden Shin said.

Jiang Ning snorted, seemingly disdainful: "Orobas invaded, and then the other side was defeated. Allowing them to accept the protection of Naruto and continue to believe in Orobas is already a great blessing... Now they're rebelling? They're really giving them too much face."

"So why do we need their agreement... You're still too kind. Being too kind isn't good, don't you think, Sister Leah?"

Heuria, still halfway through her sentence, dragged out a god betrayed by his own people and proceeded to whip his corpse. Heuria, who was still holding a half-eaten watermelon, looked completely bewildered.

"No, whatever you say, it's none of my business."

Jiang Ning laughed and continued, "This matter is not up for discussion. We should take this opportunity to officially return Haizhi Island to Inazuma."

Raiden Shin said, "That's possible... You make a lot of sense."

"Then let's do it this way. The so-called negotiations are just a formality. Whether the other side agrees or not, we have to agree. We'll talk in the castle tower. Let Shinkai come over, and then Kujo Sara will come over too."

Jiang Ning made the decision immediately.

…………

Inside a house in Inazuma Castle, the people who were supposedly staying as guests but were actually under house arrest, Kokoro Kokoro and Goro, were in the courtyard.

Coral Palace Kokoro appeared relatively calm, but Goro was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth.

"Goro, you're making me dizzy."

Xin Hai finally couldn't hold back any longer and said helplessly.

"Lord Xinhai, we've been here for quite some time now. I hope nothing has happened on Haiqi Island, and what about everyone else who's being guarded in the wilderness...?"

Goro said urgently.

However, Coral Palace Heartsea simply sighed and said, "What can you do? The gods of Liyue and Inazuma have already spoken like this, do you dare to leave? Besides, those guys in the wild... to be honest, I'm against directly attacking the castle tower. After all, the divine power is unpredictable. But those guys, after being slightly provoked by the Fatui spies, seem to have been brainwashed, thinking that they can succeed with so many of them..."

Goro gritted his teeth and said, "The fools are truly hateful."

Although they have been under house arrest here for the past few days, they have learned the truth about the matter.

The Fools planted spies on both sides to incite war and achieve their own hidden goals.

This made Goro so angry he was practically itching to bite.

However, after calming down, he realized that Jiang Ning's previous rudeness made sense. A god was already being very generous by explaining things to him in this way.

"Then what do we do now?"

Goro asked.

Coral Palace Heart Sea sat there quietly, as if she had figured something out: "Let's wait for judgment. This time, with that god present, there may be no way to resolve this peacefully."
