Transmigrating to the world of Genshin Impact and becoming a big shot.

"This is... a godhood!"

Zhao Chuan tried hard to control his emotions, looking at the water stains and clothes that were wrapped up, and found a glittering elemental ball inside.

"There is still hope, Funina, wait for me. As long as the divine essence remains, there is still hope."

Zhao Chuan quickly assumed a meditation posture, his fingers forming hand seals to merge with the stagnant water.

"Host, the system is reminding you that this divine essence is incomplete and will not last long. By the time you reconstruct your water elemental body, it may be too late."

The system popped up a friendly reminder.

"How could this happen? System, do you have any solutions? Hurry, hurry!"

Zhao Chuan's forehead was covered in sweat, and he was extremely anxious, shouting at the system in a panic.

"Host, you clearly have the ability to protect her, how could you be so careless as to let it hurt Funina!" The system's voice came slowly, but every word struck Zhao Chuan's heart like a heavy hammer.

Zhao Chuan's defenses crumbled instantly. He covered his face in anguish, tears streaming down his fingers.

“Yes, it was my carelessness… If I hadn’t been so kind, if I hadn’t noticed the strangeness of that water sprite, if I hadn’t sensed the many souls within it, all experiencing immense pain. Yet even so, some kind-hearted souls among them were struggling to control their bodies and avoid causing us further harm. It was me… it was my soft heart that led to Furina’s death…”

Overwhelmed with guilt, Zhao Chuan slowly lowered his head and wept uncontrollably.

Endless self-blame and regret welled up in his heart, as if to devour him.

He knew that his momentary mercy had led to an irreparable tragedy, and the price was far too heavy.

"System, I know you must have a way, please help me."

Zhao Chuan grabbed the blue board and said urgently.

"Sigh, there is a way, but given the host's current strength, the risk is too great."

A beautiful female voice came from the system.

"Any method, anything will do, just tell me!"

Zhao Chuan said as if grasping at a straw.

"Host, the Individual Avatar Technique you cultivate allows you to create a physical body. If you can successfully create and fuse it within ten days, you can save her. However..."

The system paused here.

"But what? Speak up!"

Zhao Chuan was now blinded by grief, and he was eager to know any way to save Funina, completely unaware of the potential risks and costs involved.

The system hesitated, unsure of what to say next, as the cost was simply too high.

"Furina's body is not an ordinary body, but a demon god's body, and at a high level. If the host chooses to cultivate this technique to save her, at best he will be severely injured by the laws and suffer a backlash, causing his cultivation to decline. At worst, he may become a complete cripple, losing all his abilities and hope."

The system spoke slowly, and the last sentence was uttered very slowly, as if each word weighed a ton.

Upon hearing these words, Zhao Chuan's face turned extremely pale, but he did not back down or show any fear.

"A cripple? If it weren't for me, Funina would still be Funina, not like this, worse than a cripple. No matter the cost, I will save her!"

He took a deep breath and said firmly:

Zhao Chuan's eyes revealed unwavering determination and perseverance; he was prepared to face all difficulties and challenges.

Even if the road ahead is rugged and full of dangers, he is not afraid, just to bring Funina back to his side.

He then got up and put the bubble into his storage ring, closed his eyes, used his spiritual power to sense the structure of the place, and chanted a mantra. A Tai Chi diagram appeared under his feet.

After a while...

Zhao Chuan opened his eyes and found himself in a cave, a place filled with magical power.

"System, exchange materials for me to refine my physical body."

Zhao Chuan used his spiritual power to create a barrier, took out a pill-refining furnace, and spoke to the system.

"Host, are you really sure? The risks are really high."

The system reminded me with a hint of sympathy.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."

Zhao Chuan stared sternly at the system and said.

"Okay, I'll exchange for medicinal herbs at the mall: Spirit Seeds, Resurrection Grass, Yin-Generating Grass, and Yellow Sunflower Flower. I don't have enough points, so I'll spend 100,000 Mora to get Transformation Root, Level 8 Water Attribute Demon Core, and Primal Fetal Sea Water (which I already have)."

The system automatically made the purchase for Zhao Chuan.

"Thank you."

After saying that, Zhao Chuan took a deep breath and began to fully circulate the spiritual energy in his body, continuously pouring it into the alchemy furnace.

At the same time, he began to gather powerful fire elements in his hands, and his entire body was surrounded by a rich aura of spiritual energy, in order to maintain the high temperature inside the alchemy furnace.

Zhao Chuan carefully waved his small hand, placing the precious herbs from the system space one by one in a specific order. As the temperature gradually rose, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, but he did not stop what he was doing.

"I can do it, I definitely can..."

Zhao Chuan muttered to himself in a low voice, as if encouraging himself.

His gaze was fixed on the raging fire in the alchemy furnace, as he continuously poured pure spiritual energy into it.

At this moment, Zhao Chuan was completely immersed in a world of guilt, and even forgot how long he had been in this cave.

Time passed by, but for Zhao Chuan it seemed to stand still.

He had only one thought in his mind—to resurrect Funina! He was so consumed by guilt that he had no time to think about anything else.

So what if I end up a cripple? As long as I can save Funina's life, it will all be worth it.

As time quietly passed, Zhao Chuan steadfastly continued to channel a large amount of spiritual energy into it, dedicating his strength and energy without reservation.

At that moment, his vision gradually became blurry, as if his eyes were shrouded in a thin veil.

Having not slept for several days, he was exhausted, both physically and mentally.

As his spiritual energy rapidly dissipated, fine wrinkles began to appear on his once gentle face, making him look more weathered and his complexion increasingly haggard and aged.

Zhao Chuan clenched his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, his hands trembling slightly, as if he were enduring immense pain, the pain of his strength being stripped away.

The veins in his hands were clearly visible, as if they were about to split open.

He took a deep breath, and then used all his strength to channel that immense power into his palm.

As the power was injected, his body began to tremble, and blood kept gushing from the corner of his mouth, mixing with the bloody tears flowing from the corner of his eyes, forming a shocking scene.

His eyes revealed determination and resolve, as if telling the world that he would not give up.

He had only one belief in his heart: to persevere.

Fontaine...

"What? The Water God has disappeared."

Paimon said in surprise.

"Yes, the media is going crazy over it now. The Chief Executive has led the guards to search all over Fontaine. It is said that a Liyue immortal took him away."

Navia said seriously.

"When did this happen? The gods of Fontaine have disappeared. Isn't that going to cause chaos?!"

Paimon covered his mouth and said in disbelief.

"Hmm, it's almost caused widespread panic, even gods are disappearing, so just how powerful is this Liyue immortal?"

Navia shook her head and said.

"No way, why would the immortals of Liyue concern themselves with Fengdan's affairs? Won't Vilette bring people to Liyue to demand an explanation?"

Paimon was lost in thought and blurted it out.

"When did this happen?"

Ying said doubtfully, having a rough idea of ​​who it was, but not sure.

"Yes, it happened seven or eight days ago. I heard that the Water God was communicating with that immortal that night, about investigating something. This is Clarinde's testimony. Then, the Water God was nowhere to be seen for two days. After that, he went to find Navelette. Then came the search for him. It was only discovered and exposed by the media tomorrow."

After Navia finished explaining, she glanced at Paimon and Ying, who were silent, with solemn expressions.

"What's wrong with you? Do you know something?!"

Navia put her hands on her hips and asked in a questioning tone.

"No, no, we were just wondering what the Liyue immortals were doing abducting the water god. If they really did that, then there is only one immortal traveling the world."

Paimon shook his head and said helplessly.

"Hmm, it might be him."

Paimon and Ying said in unison.

"What 'him'? Tell me quickly, don't keep me in suspense."

Navia was even more puzzled now; it was obvious that the two of them knew something.

"Yes, it's just..."

Just as Paimon was about to speak, Ying covered his mouth.

"We're just speculating. Besides, the investigation has been going on for so many days, we should have some results by now. But because of the Water God, Vilette will definitely be paying close attention. If the breakthrough in the serial disappearances of girls is the Water God, then Liyue will definitely be implicated. We must stop it, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Ying said to Navia with a grin.

"Right, then let's hurry up and look for clues about the water god."

Navia slapped her forehead, feeling as if she had suddenly had an epiphany.

Soft Light Harbour...

"Lady Vilette, everything is ready, the handover is complete, and the Liyue leadership has agreed to release you."

"That's what a member of the guard said."

"Yes, Miss Clorind, did you hear anything else? If anything goes wrong on this trip, it could provoke a war between the two countries."

Navelette turned to look at the voluptuous woman and said.

"Yes, I can hear it. He signed up himself, but it's not certain that they're going to Liyue."

Claurind shook her head and said.

"Is that so? The immortal of Liyue is named Zhao Chuan. If he is the mastermind behind the serial disappearances of girls, then Ms. Fu Ningna is in danger. But this is just speculation. If we cross this line, will peace between the two countries still be maintained?"

Navelette pondered the question, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

"My lord, shall we still set off?"

"That's what the guard said."

"Of course we must set off, Clarinde. This time, you must conduct a secret investigation and bring back some local specialties to give to the Liyue executives to ensure peaceful coexistence."

After saying this, Navelette turned and left, disappearing from sight without a trace of lingering affection.

As he left, the sky gradually darkened, and soon a fine drizzle began to fall, as soft as cow's hair sprinkling on the earth.

Clarinde stood still, letting the rain soak her hair and clothes.

She slowly raised her head, gazing up at the sky, her eyes lost and empty.

Raindrops fell one by one, hitting her cool and beautiful face, bringing a slight chill.

However, she didn't seem to feel the cold; she simply silently experienced it all.

At this moment, Clarinde's heart was filled with complex emotions.

This is the eighth day since Funina disappeared, and Navelette begins to investigate the aftermath of the series of teenage girl disappearances.

Inside the cave...

"Host, you still have one-third of your original power left. Stop now, you can't afford to waste any more time."

The system said anxiously, "If the source is depleted, then death awaits him!"

"It's nothing...it's just a little bit short...cough cough...".

Zhao Chuan, clinging to his last breath, said weakly.

At this moment, the flames that had once roared around the alchemy furnace had extinguished, leaving only wisps of white smoke rising slowly. Golden light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire heavens.

"It's done... Good, now... just one last step."

Zhao Chuan was panting heavily, his face as pale as paper, and his forehead covered with large beads of sweat. With his last bit of strength, he took out the energy bubble that had transformed into the Primordial Fetal Sea Water, and extracted the liquid from the alchemy furnace to merge with the Primordial Fetal Sea Water.

"Ah~ All laws are commanded, with my soul, using blood as a catalyst, I will reshape my body!"

Zhao Chuan unleashed his spiritual power, witnessing the fusion of the primordial fetal sea water and spiritual liquid. During the fusion process, the two were suddenly repelled, and the powerful backlash caused him to vomit blood. His body trembled, but he still tightly gripped the spiritual power in his hand, refusing to give up. He used all his spiritual power and shouted with difficulty, as if to declare his tenacity, and then chanted a spell.

The liquid then blended perfectly and began to form a human body, which gradually became clearer.

Her skin became smooth and delicate, like white jade, as if it had been given new life.

Subsequently, the body of a graceful young girl was reshaped. Zhao Chuan took out the protected divine essence and implanted it into the mind of the young girl's body.

A relieved smile appeared on Zhao Chuan's face, but his body had already reached its limit.

His spiritual energy was exhausted. Before he could even dress her, he swayed a few times and finally collapsed to the ground.

His eyes were closed, and his breathing became weak.

At this moment, the entire scene became exceptionally quiet, with only the girl's breathing echoing in the air.

She opened her eyes and looked around.

"Am I dead?! Why does my head still hurt so much?"

She touched her head and murmured to herself, looking at herself in this cave, on this cold stone bed.

She realized that she was not dead. Then she looked at her body, her snow-white skin and unmarked chest, and recalled the ambush she and Zhao Chuan had been in in that laboratory.

She felt as if her body had been pierced by the waters of the primordial womb, and she saw herself turn into water, but now her body was intact. She thought about this in a haphazard way, and then sat up to get out of bed.

Seeing Zhao Chuan lying on the ground, bleeding from his seven orifices, his arms and body, and all his meridians ruptured, startled Fu Ningna, who had just regained consciousness. The fear made her fall to the ground. It wasn't until a few minutes later, when she calmed down, that she could see clearly that the person lying on the ground was Zhao Chuan, who looked like a dried corpse.

"Zhao Chuan!"

Despite her fear, Funina quickly picked him up and held him in her arms. Because they weren't wearing clothes, Zhao Chuan and Funina's skin were perfectly pressed together.

"This, so much blood, your face is so pale, what a price you paid to save me? Don't die! I was clearly turned into water, I was already dead. Although I don't know how you brought me back to life, I really don't want to pay with my life."

Looking at Zhao Chuan, her heart was filled with sadness and love. She hugged Zhao Chuan tightly, gently stroking his face, wiping the bloodstains on his face with her fingers, and tears slid down her cheeks.
