Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

The dragon scourge of Mondstadt has thus come to an end, and Jean returned to her office to handle official business. Jean, on behalf of the Knights of Favonius, clarified the misunderstanding to the citizens and announced the resolution of the matter.

To ordinary people, the sudden attack on Mondstadt by Stormterror and its subsequent disappearance must have left them with many questions.

But the wind will change direction. One day, it will blow in a brighter direction.

After bringing everyone back to Mondstadt, Dvalin flew into the blue sky.

On the statue of the wind god, Wendy sat on the statue's palm. Huiyuan, with Li Tiantian's skin, stood beside him, watching silently.

The system announcement sounded.

"The quest 'Restore Dvalin to Normal' has been completed. Rewards include the Heart of the Wind God (system-crafted), the 'Lingling' skin (see novel cover for appearance), the complete Sky Harp, and a random skill."

The Wind God's Heart, created by the system, can communicate with others over long distances, understand the language of all things, control some aspects of the weather related to wind, and more easily manipulate wind attributes... and so on.

Random skill reward draw in progress...

Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Stand "Purple Hermit," a vine-type Stand. Stand ability: When using the phonograph, you can photograph whatever you want to photograph, no matter where you are (without damaging the camera).

Huiyuan: "...?"

"Host, this stand has been enhanced by me. Except for some individuals with strong mental power, ordinary people cannot see it. The toughness and hardness of the vines, as well as the clarity of the captured images, depend on the host's mental power."

"Old man, your double is the most useful!"

Wendy was playing music when she noticed the changes in Li Tiantian behind her.

"Ok?"

After Li Tiantian took out the Heart of God created by the system, Wendy was surprised and examined his own Heart of God.

Thank goodness, it's still on me. What's that Sister Tian holding? It looks so similar!

Huiyuan revealed the lie she had told about the Eye of God.

“As you know, I come from outside this world. This Eye of God is a replica of the Eye of God in this world. The Heart of God is the same. I was able to replicate it when you showed it to me in the tavern.”

"Hmm...it looks really realistic. If the Heart of God weren't still in my possession, I would have almost thought you stole it. Hehe, Sister Tiantian, how about we go to the tavern for a couple of drinks to celebrate Dvalin's recovery?"

"Uh, that's fine. I have things to do, I'll be going now."

After saying that, Li Tiantian jumped down.

Speaking of which, the plot of the second day should be the part where the lady takes out the black tiger's heart.

Hmm... let's not interfere with the Ice God's plan. The principles of Heaven are still too mysterious to me. The system also said before that if we want to defeat the principles of Heaven, I need to find a way.

Besides, Wendy probably... wants to give the Heart of God to the Ice God. I don't know why the Ice God needs to collect the Heart of God, nor what Tenryuu's plan is, so let the story unfold like the game.

I'll change some other plot points, like restoring Nagato to normal. If I ever gain the ability to resurrect the dead, I'll definitely revive Raiden Shin, the fallen Yaksha, Gui Zhong, and others.

System, you'll give me these resurrection skills, right?

Yes, Sister Tong said she would.

"I didn't say that, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

The next day at noon, Ying went to the West Wind Cathedral to return the Sky Harp.

Qin introduced Ying: "This is the church's specialist in charge of recovering the Sky Harp, Pastor Barbara."

Barbara's sweet voice came through.

"May the wind god protect you. Although I may not be qualified to say this compared to the acting captain... I still want to thank everyone on behalf of Mondstadt for their efforts! Thankfully, it was resolved peacefully. If we had actually mobilized our forces to fight the dragons, it's hard to imagine how it would have ended..."

It's obvious that Barbara, as Jean's sister, knows some of the inside story.

"Moreover, the Fools can't say much. They must be secretly furious about how things turned out this way. This time, they've lost their best excuse to put pressure on the Knights of Favonius. It only confirmed the image of the Winter Solstice envoy as arrogant and unreasonable, without achieving any real diplomatic progress."

After Qin finished explaining, Barbara's tone was as if she were "about to meet the idol she had been supporting for decades," and she couldn't wait to ask.

"Alright, so you brought the Sky Harp? The acting captain's guarantee isn't unlimited; the Cardinal has been urging us for a while now..."

Paimon was timid and hesitant, much like a child who had done something wrong, trying to hide his actions.

"I...I did bring it, but...um...this...is a little..."

Barbara looked at Paimon innocently, thinking she was afraid of having to pay rent, and began to explain.

"Hmm? Don't worry, we won't charge you rent. The church has a dedicated allowance for offerings..."

After taking out the damaged Sky Harp, Ying gave it to Barbara.

Barbara stared in shock at the Sky Harp.

Paimon didn't dare look Barbara in the eye, pointing his index fingers together and looking away guiltily.

"Uh..."

Wendy didn't know what to do either, and scratched her head helplessly.

"Aa ...

Barbara's eyes were filled with despair, and she collapsed to her knees, her body limp, as if in prayer.

"Lord Barbatos, even if Barbara spends the rest of her life atoning for your sins, it will never be enough!"

Li Tiantian is on the ceiling of the church.

"I've been waiting for this scene for so long, hehe, I'm about to start making some fun!"

Just as Venti was about to use his divine power to temporarily repair the Sky Harp, Li Tian used the Divine Heart created by the system, causing her body to emit a blue light as she slowly descended from the sky. She also created two pairs of wings identical to those of the Wind God using wind, emitting a divine voice.

“Poor Barbara, I have heard your prayers, there is no need to worry.”

Because he was afraid of being recognized by Barbara, he used wind elements to cover his face.

A melodious voice came from behind.

"Poor child, give me the Sky Harp!"

With tears welling up in her eyes, Barbara offered the Sky Harp with both hands.

“Barbatos...sir…”

Li Tiantian took the damaged Sky Harp. After the Sky Harp emitted light, it returned to its original state.

(Actually, it's just swapping the complete Sky Harp with the damaged Sky Harp within the Eye of God's space.)

The Sky Harp at its peak slowly descended into Barbara's hands. The others stared wide-eyed at this sight, glancing at Wendy in shock before turning to Li Tiantian.

Even the Wind God himself was dumbfounded.

"Wow! Barbatos has arrived... Wait, wasn't I...?"

Then, Li Tiantian used one of the abilities given to her by the Heart of the Wind God, transforming into a wisp of wind and disappearing.

After Li Tian hid behind the nearby load-bearing pillar, Barbara solemnly hugged the Sky Harp, jumped excitedly, and then shouted as she ran into the basement.

"Lord Barbatos has appeared to me! Lord Barbatos has answered me!"

Qin looked completely bewildered.

Wait a minute... The fact that Wendy is Lord Barbatos shouldn't be wrong.

Wendy was at a loss.

I am the Wind God, then who is she? Am I a fake?

Ying has seen through everything.

That Eye of God... this Barbatos must be Sister Li Tiantian in disguise, right?

At this moment, the "lady" executive officer, who was waiting outside the cathedral, witnessed everything.

"Huh? How come there are two Barbatos? Was that pretty boy a fake? Was the one that appeared just now the real one? No, both auras are the auras of the Wind God..."

The woman thought for a moment and quickly found the answer.

"Hmph. Knowing Barbatos's nature, how could he possibly come out to repair the Sky Harp just to appease his followers? The Barbatos just now was an imposter; my deduction is absolutely correct. You pretty-boy poet, you actually tried to fool me... Hmph... Ridiculous..."

As the fake Barbatos disappeared, Paimon began to question Wendy.

"Hey street performer, what just happened?!"

Wendy remembered the time when Li Tiantian took out the Heart of God, and made a "hehehe" sound.

"Hehe, that Barbatos just now was probably Sister Tiantian in disguise."

After seeing Barbara leave, Li Tiantian walked out from behind the load-bearing pillar.

"Hehehe, let's keep this a secret from Barbara. That kid is quite cute; she'll definitely be secretly thrilled tonight when Barbatos arrives."

Ying squinted, crossed her arms, and smugly anticipated everything.

"I knew it."

Seeing that the misunderstanding had been cleared up, Wendy smiled and said, "Well then, things have come to a perfect end. This bard will treat you to a good meal at the Deer Hunter's."

Ying and Paimon readily agreed and then walked towards the cathedral's entrance.

Qin called out to Li Tiantian.

"Um, Miss Tiantian, how did you manage that miracle just now?"

After a moment of hesitation, Li Tiantian thought, "If Wendy walks out like this, Black Tiger will rip out her heart. Should I stop Zhi Dong's plan...? Never mind, the power of Heaven's Law is too mysterious. It's better to be cautious. I won't interfere."

He turned to Qin and casually told her a lie.

"Hehe, it's just a transformation technique, but the Sky Harp is indeed repaired. Harp Master, have you had lunch yet? Why don't you join us?"

"Alright, let's catch up with the travelers first."

Outside the door, two dark figures appeared out of thin air on the ground, their shadows like liquid, emanating a misty aura. Two debt collectors emerged from them and attacked Wendy.

Luminous pursued them, using an elemental skill to send the two debt collectors flying. Luminous gave chase, but the debt collectors vanished.

Seeing that her subordinates were useless, the woman snapped her fingers.

The power of the ice element instantly froze the entire area, and Wendy's feet were frozen to the ground, unable to move.

Paimon was completely frozen and blown away.

Venti used Anemo to block most of the Cryo attacks for Luminosity. However, the debt collector, who was lurking in the shadows, took advantage of Luminosity's inattention and pinned her to the ground.

Wendy could certainly break free if she wanted to. However, he held back, intending to use this opportunity to give the Heart of God to Winter.

Although the lady was also a Mondstadt citizen, her lover had perished during Dúrin's attack on Mondstadt. Heartbroken, she blamed everything on the neglectful Anemo Archon, and naturally showed no respect whatsoever for Barbatos.

"Oh, I finally got my hamster back."

Describing the Anemo Archon as a missing domestic hamster, the woman looked at Wendy with disdain and slowly approached her.

"Gnawing on wooden stakes, biting into rice bags, causing so much trouble for Mondstadt..."

Wendy's chubby little face was pinched, and she pretended to be angry and frowned.

You're not talking about a hamster, you're talking about a mouse—

Goodness gracious, Wendy, is it really appropriate for you to describe yourself as a mouse?

Ying, standing to the side, was not yet strong enough to break free from the suppression of the two debt collectors. Just as Wendy finished retorting, the woman slapped him across the face.

The woman looked at Wendy haughtily, and the sense of oppression increased dramatically.

"You have no right to speak now, you *Mondstadt swearing* bard."

Although Wendy went easy on him, she still had to put on an act. Pretending to struggle with all her might to break free of the ice on her feet, the lady looked down on the Wind God even more.

"Ha, the god who relinquished his rule over Mondstadt has only this much power left..."

Although Venti wanted to give the Heart of God to Ice God, he still had some pride and stubbornly refused.

"Oh? So the power you use to mock me is the power you borrowed from your master?"

That one sentence broke the lady's defenses. The intense ice element overwhelmed the divine power released by Venti. After the ice elemental force blasted Venti away, the lady rushed forward at an even faster speed and directly used Black Tiger Heart to take out the Heart of God.

"Glib tongue..."

Holding the Heart of God, which radiated wind elements, shimmered with rainbow light, and resembled a chess piece, the woman began to play with it.

"Oh... this is... the Heart of God? Hmph, it's nothing compared to my treasured, magnificent chess set."

Wendy was panting heavily.

"That's probably because your aesthetic taste... is really bad, right?"

The woman saw Wendy as the murderer of her lover, Doolin, and kicked her against the wall.

"Wendy!"

Ying looked at Wendy, wanting to do something, but couldn't break free from the debt collector's grasp.

After his heart was ripped out, Wendy lay on the ground struggling, thinking, "Take the Heart of God and leave me some face."

The woman glanced at Ying and decided to quit while she was ahead.

"...Never mind, we already have the Heart of God. Let's go, before the Knights arrive, let's not leave any evidence."

The debt collector delivered a direct elbow strike to Ying's neck, knocking her unconscious.

When Li Tian arrived, she fed Wendy and Ying each a Senzu Bean. Then Jean summoned soldiers to carry the two to the Cathedral of Favonius, to the beds used for treating patients, and then began investigating the scene.

--------

Publicly available intelligence

During the reign of the Lone King in the Tower, Venti, even as a wind spirit, already possessed the power to lead a rebellion and overthrow the Lone King's rule.

Later, they even moved most of Mondstadt, which was covered by snow and ice, to the location of the Dragonridge Mountains.

Barbatos's power was definitely not derived from the Heart of God. It's easy to imagine how much he held back when resisting the lady.
