Genshin Impact: I am an ordinary executive

"Is it really possible to do something like this?" Navelette asked, her voice sounding quite unfamiliar to her.

To merge two people into one is simply unheard of.

“Normally, of course, it’s impossible, and my area of ​​expertise isn’t biology.” Zuo Xi waved her hand, then smiled confidently. “But I didn’t actually make the two of you merge; I just made the ‘world’ believe that you two were one. Just like what Fukaros did before—deceive the world.”

"Deceive the world?" Ying was stunned. "Deceive the world and you can do something like that? Then, if I deceive the world, can I and Paimon try it too? I've always wanted to know what it feels like for her to fly like that!"

“There are many other ways to experience this feeling. Just synchronize your mind and senses and let Nasita pull you into a dream—anything is possible in a dream.” Zuo Xi had a “don’t waste his talent” look on her face. “This isn’t for you to play around with. It’s used to solve more fundamental problems.”

“Essence…” Navelette pondered for a moment, “So the function of this instrument is actually to make us appear as a natural whole, even to the world?”

“That’s not accurate. What you’re describing is just the surface.” Zuo Xi shook her finger. “As I said before, its effect is to ‘deceive the world’—it can tamper with the World Tree, although only temporarily.”

"!!!" Those who were still conscious were shocked by this sentence, and they all knew what it meant.

The World Tree records all the information about the Teyvat continent. Theoretically, as long as you can manipulate that information, you can change everything in Teyvat, including what just happened.

This sounds simple, but it's not actually a matter of "difficulty" or "ease." It's fundamentally impossible—only special beings can enter the World Tree. If you don't meet this condition, trying your whole life will be useless.

"Zuo tide...you...you didn't stuff Naxida inside, did you...?" Paimon shrank behind Ying. Knowing Zuo tide as she did, she knew that Zuo Xi was capable of such a thing.

Based on her understanding of Nasita, she knew that Nasita wouldn't refuse if Zuo tide asked...

“We’ve known each other for so long, I never expected that you, Paimon, would still have such a misunderstanding about me… To be honest, I’m a little hurt.” Zuo Xi sighed deeply, a sad expression on her face.

Seeing this, Paimon panicked a little and quickly went up to explain, "No, Zuo tide, I was just joking..."

"To be honest, why do you still think I needed Nasita's help to do this?"

"......Eh?"

Paimon was somewhat stunned. Was that what he was focusing on? She thought Zuo tide was saddened because she had accused him of the evil practice of employing child labor, but it turned out she was only dissatisfied because she had underestimated his skills?!

"However, it is undeniable that the inspiration did come from Nasita."

It really is related to Nasita after all!

“So that’s why it’s called ‘Woodpecker’… From this perspective, it’s quite fitting.” Sandonne understood the meaning behind Zuo Xiqi’s name very well—a woodpecker pecks at the “wood” of the World Tree.

“That’s right. By interfering with the World Tree, we can temporarily influence reality. Since it’s temporary rather than permanent, the results won’t be affected even after the ‘temporary’ period ends. At the same time, this won’t trigger any major chain reactions. Even if the higher-ups discover it, they can’t say anything.” Zuo tide’s tone was full of pride.

"By the way, its effect was not originally manifested in this way. If it were outside, Vilette would still be in his original body—nothing would have changed, only he would be the one who ascended to godhood—but this is the spiritual world, so it manifests in this way."

"So, now that I'm back in the real world, I'm still using my original body to 'forgive' the sins of the Fontaines?" Vilette's voice was flat, but he actually had a subtle mix of relief and...regret.

Don't get me wrong, he's not a pervert.

Fortunately, he didn't have to appear in public with this awkward body. Unfortunately, he felt it would be more "fair" for her to complete this task in the form of Fukaros—after five hundred years of preparation, her contribution deserved to be known.

"Alright, enough nonsense, let's get down to business. Don't worry about fairness or anything like that. If we really gave all the credit to her, I reckon even Fukaros wouldn't be happy about it." Zuo Xi waved her hand impatiently. "Hurry up, stop dawdling."

......

A blue meteor streaked across the sky, standing beneath the dark clouds, as torrential rain poured down at that moment.

Navelette held a cane in her hand and slowly raised her other hand.

"Supreme Judge Navilette hereby declares—"

A complex and magnificent array coalesced in the sky, reappearing directly above his head. Azure water elements intertwined into threads, outlining the initial shape strand by strand. With resonance, the array covered the entire Fengdan Court, replacing this patch of sky.

"I will forgive the sins of all of you Fontaines."

The towering column of water pierced the sky, scattering into droplets that fell to the earth. Each droplet was now tinged with vibrant colors, creating a dreamlike spectacle, like a shower of rainbow bubbles.

The laws of nature were rewritten in this moment. The "curse" in the blood of the Fontainebleau people vanished completely, and countless pure desires were fulfilled—

—On that day, Fontaine had a real "person".
