Genshin Impact: The Recorder of All Things

But the sun disappeared in a short while, as if it had all been an illusion.

The next moment, flower petals fell from the sky, and the ground was covered in a riot of color.

The fire, the raging flames, had just burned people to the point of unbearable pain.

The next instant, the world was filled with floodwaters, and everyone choked on their breath.

Sunshine, heavy snow, vibrant life, lifeless stillness...

These are all child's play; they occasionally flip things upside down, swap ears and noses...

Before things returned to normal, no one felt anything was wrong, and some people didn't even know what normal meant anymore.

An unnamed fear began to spread, and no one knew what was happening except for Alteshu and Zhong Gui.

"This is the first time I've ever been forced into this situation!"

"I don't care, I often get criticized for not being very good at it."

"I can see that your combat experience isn't great; you've just made up for it with other methods. If you're weak, then what am I?"

"After all, people are different. What is honey to one person may be poison to another. I usually play with my friends, so you could say they practice with me."

"There's even someone to help you make contact..."

"As for technique, you don't need to go all out."

"Hahahaha, are you going all out now?"

No, not at all.

"That's really...being underestimated!!!"

boom--! ! !

In that instant, everyone in the world felt as if they had been broken down into elementary particles, but in the next instant, it was as if nothing had happened; it was all an illusion.

Aizen: "No... it's not an illusion!"

They were indeed broken down just now, but when they were divided, they were restored as if nothing had happened.

Tsukasa Kadoya: "...Let's go."

This place is too dangerous, and it was caused by my teammates...

P.S.: Happy New Year everyone! I heard people give out "red envelopes" at company year-end parties? Sending New Year's greetings to everyone—orz!

"They can't leave."

The system replied.

“I suggest you don’t use the dimensional wall for now. Time and space in this world are in a state of extreme chaos right now. Use it if you’re not worried about running out of parts,” said the sub-body existing within Jun Yuan’s body.

It's fine if it runs away on its own; each of its sub-particles is already a basic particle, so there's no fear of it running away or getting lost.

If it were to take everyone with it, it would be like going against the entire world. If it were to grow up, it wouldn't be a problem, but right now it's just a chatbot with only thirteen members, and going against the entire world is a bit much for it.

It used to be begging and pleading with everyone, but now it's being begged by "grandpas" and "grandmas." This isn't because it's become more capable, but because its background has become stronger.

Nowadays, some people don't care about its background, so there's nothing they can do about it.

Ruri Gokou: "Are you really that useless?"

System: "If you're so capable, why don't you run it yourself?"

Ruri Gokou: "If I could run, would I still be here?"

Your face is on your butt! Do you know I'm a beautiful girl? How am I supposed to face people like this?

If she weren't outmatched, she would have killed him to silence him today.

"Are you three sisters alright?" Black Cat asked Hu Tao and the other two.

Gan Yu thought for a moment, but couldn't figure it out. "I don't know either."

"Someone's got my back," the system said casually, revealing the true nature of human nature.

Jibril: "Hahaha, is this the power of Lord Arteshu? Come on, come on, crush these ants!"

Black Cat: "What's she doing here? Wait, who is she?"

Kong, carrying the Skywing kitten, said, "I just picked it up."

Black Cat: "Hmm... I was just about to ask, who are those two? Did you learn the art of creating clones?"

"You could actually tell there were two?!" Sora asked in surprise, because Rick and Shubi had transformed into a two-headed sphere, a two-headed person...

They were locked in a stalemate with the unified entity of two heads.

Blank: "Damn, I'm so envious!"

Black cat: "Huh?"

"This is... power beyond the Soul King... no, this is power beyond the gods!?" Aizen said, trembling.

He wasn't afraid, he was excited.

"This power...this power...hahaha, it's so great..."

His mouth was gone, everyone's mouth was gone, and everything in the world except Zhong Gui, Altshu, Gan Yu, Hu Tao, and Shen He became faceless people.

"Since you can still spare some strength."

"I have always firmly believed that miracles can happen with great effort!"

As Zhong Gui finished speaking, half of Alteshu's face disappeared, but it returned in an instant.

This sudden change seemed to shatter the balance, and everything became different.

Starting from a corner, everything began to change, and Zhong Gui completely took control of everything, spreading like a virus and raging like wildfire.

It felt like an instant, yet also like a thousand years had passed. Half the world was under Zhong Gui's control, and he could casually mold and shape it.

Even those watching knew that someone had the upper hand, but they didn't know who it was.

The remaining half of the world is still changing wildly, and has not yet taken shape.

But that half of the world is gradually shrinking, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will soon be completely controlled by the one who has gained the upper hand.

This was everyone's thought, but Zhong Gui knew he couldn't have complete control. Even if the opponent was completely defeated, as long as he still had the Star Cup, he could retain a portion of the authority, even if it was just a tiny fraction.

Just as Zhong Gui was about to gain complete control, Alteshu withdrew his power.

"what happened?"

Altshu remained silent for a long time before finally saying in a hoarse voice, "My limit has long been reached..."

He reached his limit as soon as he won the Star Cup.

The God of War, Altshu, possesses the divine essence characteristic of "the strongest." Today, he learned that this "strongest" has its limits. But what kind of strongest is a "strongest" with limits?

“Reach your own peak, and then use that as a starting point to become even stronger. Isn’t that another kind of peak?” Zhong Gui said nonchalantly.

"God of War, you were originally born from 'divine essence,' and your personality originated from it, but for you now, it has become a shackle."

"Without this 'Divine Essence,' are you no longer Althu? Don't you strive to become stronger? Are you unwilling to grow stronger? Are you just going to eke out a living, hoping the 'Divine Essence' will pity you?"

"It's limiting you now, break free from it and become stronger!"

"The strongest made you who you are, and you gave back to it by breaking through its limits and making its potential even stronger!"

"Haha, I was so scared..." Altshu laughed heartily, "I was actually comforted by a little guy."

"Little one, you're probably not even as big as Jibril, are you? How dare you comfort this old man."

"I felt no comfort, just a sense of regret that such a character was limited by his 'essence'."

The "divine essence" limited Althu's potential. Even the so-called "strongest" has its limits. Even the Star Cup, which reveals a trace of matter that constitutes a world, has its limits. Everything has its limits; it just depends on whether you can touch it. If you can't touch it, then it's infinite.

Originally, he would never have been able to reach the limit of this potential, which didn't matter. But after meeting Zhong Gui, his power rushed wildly toward this limit. Just as he was about to reach the limit, he obtained the Star Cup and then clearly saw his own limit.

With the Star Cup, he was no longer the God of War Artesius, but the One God Artesius; that limit meant nothing to him.

However, that "divine essence" limit not only restricted his power but also his thinking.

He's "trapped." What's the point of being the "strongest" if there's a limit to it? Does being the "strongest" even have any meaning then?

.. ......... ...

The fundamental elements that constitute the God of War, Artesius, have encountered problems, just as the faith in a god has collapsed; his very essence has been compromised.

He could barely ignore these things while watching the fight with Zhong Gui, but now that he's about to lose, he has to face them head-on.

If one's very essence is denied, is there any need for this "essence" (oneself) to exist?

Zhong Gui: "What, are you going to commit suicide?"

“No!” Altshu shook his head and looked at Zhong Gui. “May I witness your strongest power?”

Zhong Gui: "..."

……

The sky quieted down, and the Skywing creature, which had miraculously survived, got up and began to approach the sky.
