Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Su Xun's thoughts were surging and his mood was fluctuating.

He really didn't expect that he originally just wanted to come here to find the power of time, but he accidentally came into contact with the power of time. His luck was too good.

Without much hesitation, Su Xun gave orders directly to the panel.

"absorb!"

The next moment, as a suction force came from his mind, Su Xun only felt the power in the hourglass in his hand constantly surging out and entering his body.

As the power of time continued to flow in, Su Xun felt his body begin to heat up. Mysterious lines appeared on his skin, emitting a faint light.

When the power of time in the hourglass was completely absorbed, the hourglass in Su Xun's hand began to break, and then...

"Buzz!"

A strange wave came out from the broken hourglass and spread throughout the entire space almost instantly.

The next second, everything here was frozen, and time seemed to have stopped at this moment.

Su Xun stared blankly at the broken hourglass in his hand, feeling somewhat surprised and confused.

What happened? Why did this hourglass suddenly break? And why did time stop here?

He looked around and found that everything around him had become still, and the light bands had stopped dancing, as if the entire space had been solidified.

Su Xun tried to use his mental power to sense this space, but he found that his mental power was frozen as soon as it left his sea of ​​consciousness, and he was unable to conduct any investigation.

Su Xun was a little panicked. This was the first time he encountered such a situation.

At this moment, a holy light suddenly appeared in the air in front of Su Xun, and a figure vaguely appeared in the light. The figure could not be seen clearly, but Su Xun felt an inexplicable pressure.

Su Xun was startled, and looked at the figure warily, asking subconsciously, "Who are you?"

The figure did not answer Su Xun's question, but slowly flew towards him. As the figure got closer, Su Xun finally saw her appearance clearly.

She was a beautiful woman, with a gentle look on her face. She was wearing a glittering long dress, which was inlaid with countless bright stars, as if the entire galaxy was integrated into it. Her long hair fell to her waist like a waterfall, dancing gently in the wind. Her eyes were deep and mysterious, as if she could see through the mysteries of all things in the world.

After seeing Su Xun, a smile slowly appeared on the woman's beautiful face. She gently fell from the air and then walked towards Su Xun.

But Su Xun retreated cautiously. He had already felt the pressure from this woman, who was definitely someone he could not resist.

If she had ill intentions towards him, he wouldn't even have the chance to resist. He wouldn't even know if he would be able to use the time-travel function on the panel to go back five hundred years.

However, the woman did not care about Su Xun's attitude, but instead did something that surprised Su Xun.

She came in front of Su Xun, then knelt on one knee, brushed her chest with her right hand, and said respectfully: "Original Shadow, Time Ruler Istaru, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

When Su Xun heard this, his heart was immediately filled with shock.

He widened his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief, his heart filled with shock and confusion.

The ruler of time? Istaru? She is actually the ruler of time Istaru?

Su Xun's mind was in a state of confusion. He could never have imagined that he would meet the Ruler of Time, Istaru, here, and that she would do him such a great favor.

"You...you are the Ruler of Time, Istaru?" Su Xun swallowed and asked with difficulty.

Istar nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, Your Majesty. I am the original shadow, in charge of part of the authority of time, and I am one of the gods of the continent of Teyvat."

Su Xun took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He looked at Istaru, his heart filled with curiosity and confusion.

He asked, "Istaru, why are you here? And why are you doing me such a great honor?"

Istaru smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are the God of Time, the master of time. I am your subject, and I should salute you."

Su Xun frowned and said, "Istaru, are you mistaken? I am not the God of Time. I am just an ordinary human being."

Istar shook his head. "No, Your Majesty, you don't have to deny it. You are the God of Time. I can feel your power."

Su Xun was silent for a moment, then said: "Um...Istaru, why do you think I am the God of Time?"

"Your Majesty, the hourglass in your hand is a sacred artifact of time, which contains the authority of time. Since you can obtain the power of authority within it, it means that you are the God of Time."

Su Xun frowned, a little confused, "Istaru, I don't quite understand what you said. I am just a human with some strength. How can I suddenly become the God of Time? Besides... didn't you just say that you are the ruler of time? So you should be the God of Time, right?"

Istaru smiled slightly, and there was a hint of depth in her eyes, as if she could see through the doubts in Su Xun's heart.

She spoke slowly and explained in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty, you may have misunderstood your identity. The existence of gods is not just a single form of life. They can be people, objects, or even a concept. After you mastered the power of time, you became the master of time."

Su Xun was stunned. It was the first time he heard such a statement.

He couldn't help but ask: "Istaru, you mean that the reason I can become the God of Time is because I have mastered the power of time?"

Istaru nodded and said, "That's right, Your Majesty. In the continent of Teyvat, strength is authority, and authority is status. You have mastered the power of time, so you naturally become the God of Time."

Su Xun was silent, and he couldn't help but start thinking.

Based on the information he had currently understood and what Istaru had said, Istaru was only the Ruler of Time, and being a Ruler meant having the authority over that power, but only the right to use it, not the right to control it.

In other words, Istaru, the ruler of time, can only have partial use of time, so she cannot be considered a true god of time.

And now that he has obtained the power of time through the panel, so strictly speaking, he is more in line with the identity of the God of Time?

Istaru looked at Su Xun in deep thought and did not disturb him. Instead, she stood quietly by the side, waiting for his response.

After a moment, Su Xun came back to his senses and looked at the holy, majestic and beautiful goddess in front of him, feeling a little dazed.

Did he become the God of Time without realizing it?

Since anyone who holds the power of authority can be considered a god, then since he holds the power of shadow and the power of darkness, isn't he also the God of Shadow and Darkness?
