Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

There are many Liyue immortals. Among those that Huiyuan has seen are the Water-Cleaning Mountain Immortal, the Moon-Cleaving Sun Immortal, the Cloud-Borrowing Wind Immortal, and the Demon-Slaying Great Sage Xiao.

The titles of immortals are simple, but also difficult to distinguish. Apart from the title "Great Sage Who Subdues Demons - Xiao", Ying and Paimon basically did not remember the titles of other immortals.

Because of a lack of understanding of Liyue culture, I often confuse "Sword Moon Master" who is a "deer" with "Crane Master".

The title "True Lord of Cloud Retention and Wind Borrowing" is hard for Paimon and Ying to remember, so they usually remember the characteristics, such as "Fairy Bird", "That Woman", "Very Good at Chatting - Fake", etc.

Just as Ying suggested that the masked man might be a celestial being, Paimon also began to ponder.

"You mean a sage like Xiao? That makes sense... Xiao wore a similar mask too. Judging from his 'spell' just now, he seemed even more like a sage than Xiao. Why don't we go talk to him?"

Ying nodded and followed Paimon over.

Paimon floated up to the masked, mysterious immortal and greeted him.

Hello! We are...

Before Paimon could finish his self-introduction, the other person interrupted him.

"Ah. No need for thanks. Exorcising demons and helping the world is the duty of immortals, nothing to mention, nothing to mention..."

Looking at the mysterious masked immortal, Paimon tilted his head in confusion, quite puzzled.

At this moment, the masked immortal did not hear the expected praise, and opened his eyes to look at Ying and Paimon.

"Oh? You seem to be unfamiliar faces. I thought you were 'believers'."

Upon seeing this, Ying explained, "We are just passing travelers."

Seeing this, Paimon enthusiastically introduced himself.

"My name is Paimon! This is my travel companion, Ying."

"I see. Then this immortal should also introduce himself, as it is proper etiquette."

As he spoke, the masked immortal puffed out his chest and proudly raised his head.

"Ahem... I am the 'Star-Picking and Star-Grabbing Heavenly Lord,' also known as the 'Star Lord' by believers. This time, I have descended the mountain to help the world, and it is fate that we have met. If you two have any wishes, please tell me."

Upon hearing that his wish could be granted, Paimon's eyes lit up instantly, and he revealed a smug expression.

"A wish?! Celestial Lord... you can grant wishes? I always thought the immortals of Liyue were only good at fighting..."

"Hahaha, after all, a 'Celestial Lord' is one rank higher than a 'True Lord' in the celestial hierarchy. It's not my style to boast about my supernatural powers. Why don't you two talk to some of the believers before making a judgment?"

Upon hearing the other party say those words, Ying already had a hint of doubt in her mind.

In the previous battle of Oser, famous immortals and reclusive immortals all made an appearance. Since the "Heavenly Lord" is more powerful than the "True Lord", why weren't you present at that time?

Surely it can't be that the Heavenly Emperor or the Emperor are hidden behind the scenes, orchestrating everything, right?

There are many doubts, but we can't jump to conclusions.

So Ying decided to follow the advice of this so-called "Heavenly Lord" and ask the believers nearby for information.

A male believer excitedly exclaimed, "Did you see the 'Star Lord' performing his ritual? He's truly powerful! There must be hope for my father's illness now..."

Yinghu asked doubtfully, "Is he really an immortal?"

"Having seen such magic, what's there to doubt? He's a true immortal. I previously obtained a prescription for my bedridden father, and it's completely different from the one from 'Bu Bu Lu.' The medicine even had a faint mist rising from it after brewing—it's truly divine!"

As he spoke, the believer scratched his head, but showed no doubt about the truth of the matter.

"Although it might be because of the added Ice Mist Flower... Ah, the immortal medicine is truly remarkable; my father's illness will surely improve... As for those antiques offered as tribute to the 'Star Lord,' they are utterly insignificant compared to my father's life... right?"

Listening to what the other person was saying, Ying and Paimon exchanged a glance, but didn't say anything more, and found another believer.

A middle-aged man dressed as a businessman is making boastful remarks.

With the "Star Lord" around, the Thousand Rock Army could probably be laid off, right?

Seeing the middle-aged man's confidence in the "Star Lord," Paimon asked, "Is the 'Star Lord' really that powerful?"

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man crossed his arms and began to explain.

"I'm a merchant, and my last shipment was so valuable that I took the liberty of asking the 'Star Lord' to accompany me. The Lord simply cast a spell, and all the demons fled in terror; we haven't seen a single one along the way. While the cost was indeed a bit high... well, 'invoking a deity' is a significant matter, and I wonder if you foreigners can afford it..."

A female believer had a joyful expression on her face, as if she had been given a new lease on life.

"I always feel that my heart is filled with hope every day..."

Seeing the other person's expression, Paimon asked curiously, "Did something happy happen?"

"You are also followers of the 'Star Lord,' aren't you? Ever since my fiancé left without a word, I've been crying every day... Later, I tried the 'Star Lord's' magic—I burned his portrait and blew the ashes into the sea at sunrise..."

As she spoke, tears welled up in the eyes of the female believer.

"Inexplicably, I truly felt that he was coming back, it was real! It wasn't just my imagination... So I happily presented my dowry to the 'Star Lord.' After all, if he hadn't helped me find my husband, I might never have needed this dowry in my entire life..."

As they listened to the outrageous stories told by the believers, Ying and Paimon grew increasingly worried.

However, since the group of believers all seemed very happy, Ying couldn't draw any conclusions.

You can't just undermine them in public, can you? Even fanatical fans can go berserk when they get carried away, let alone believers.

Upon seeing Ying and Paimon return, the so-called "Star Lord" asked, "How was it? The believers may have exaggerated a bit, but they were all speaking from the heart."

Ying shrugged, saying helplessly, "I think it's all psychological..."

"Hahaha... You jest, sir. There was a highly accomplished immortal, Xue Wuliang, also known as 'Quantum,' who once said—'All things are inherently intertwined, and psychological effects are also a kind of causal connection between the soul and the outcome of things...' In other words, their wishes are already on the right track towards fulfillment. Is that clear?"

Upon hearing Paimon say this, Huiyuan burst out laughing.

"Pfft, hahaha! Xue Wuliang? Quantum? Hahaha! No, it's nothing. I just remembered a man named Schrödinger. He had a cat that would be in a quantum superposition state as long as it was in a box."
