Original God: Using a vest knife to make players and game characters cry

"Are the enemies here dangerous?"

Paimon was so preoccupied with worry that she was unaware of the danger Inazuma was about to face.

Ying pulled Paimon toward the teleportation anchor point, telling Paimon the true identity of the guy who attacked Yunling as they walked.

"It's that guy! Shouldn't Zhongli and the others have taken care of it?"

Paimon stomped his foot angrily, his little face full of rage.

"Yes, yes, yes! If Zhongli and Wendy knew that the man in black robes was still alive, they would definitely take action. That man in black robes is very strong. It would probably be difficult for Shadow alone to deal with him, not to mention those despicable abyssal monsters!"

After learning about the situation, Paimon urged Ying to hurry up.

The two quickly disappeared from the teleportation anchor point.

Ying and Paimon had only walked a short while when Ito, panting heavily, climbed to Narukami Shrine. Without taking a break, he rushed into the courtyard and saw Yunling standing and chatting with someone. The breath he had been holding in was released, and he lay down on the ground, panting heavily.

Yunling and Jiuqiren quickly rushed over and squatted down next to Yidou.

"Boss, are you okay?"

After catching his breath several times, Yidou was able to manage to say a few words:

"Xiaoyun, are you... are you alright?"

Yunling shook her head vigorously, while Jiuqiren helped Yidou up.

After catching his breath for a while, Yidou stood up and asked aggressively:

"Xiaoyun, tell the boss who hurt you, and the boss will stand up for you!"

Ichidou's words were particularly serious. Usually, when members of the Arakkari were bullied, he would stand up for them after understanding the situation, let alone Yunling.

Ichito always treated her like a younger sister.

There was no need to hide it anymore, so Yun Ling decided to tell the whole story. She said, "It's the Abyss..."

……

Liyue.

When Ying and Paimeng thought of asking for help, the first place that came to their minds was Zhongli.

The two went directly to the Hall of Rebirth.

Zhongli was not in the Hall of Rebirth, and neither was Hu Tao.

So Ying and Paimeng went to the places Zhongli used to frequent, but they still couldn't find him.

"Ying, where did Zhongli run off to?"

"Let's go and take a look at Tianheng Mountain."

"Oh right, how come I didn't think of that?"

Before arriving at Tianheng Mountain, Ying and Paimon were almost certain that Zhongli was there, but strangely, Zhongli was still nowhere to be found on Tianheng Mountain.

This time, the two were completely at a loss.

Paimon suggested, "Shadow, why don't we ask Xiao?"

Ying called out a few times, and Xiao appeared as promised.

"Xiao, do you know where Zhongli is right now?"

Xiao: "I don't know. The Emperor didn't tell me clearly. He only said that he would be away for a few days."

Ying rubbed her temples in distress.

Xiao: "What brings you to see the Emperor?"

Ying told Xiao about what had happened to Inazuma during this time.

Upon hearing that Inazuma's purest soul had been discovered by the Abyss, and that the Abyss had almost succeeded in taking advantage of him last night, Xiao's already cold face grew even colder.

"With the Emperor absent, I must protect Liyue. I apologize for not being able to accompany you both."

"It's alright, Xiao. Let's go find Wendy again."

Xiao glanced in the direction of Inazuma, then left Tianheng Mountain.

Ying didn't want to waste time. Since she couldn't find Zhongli, she would go find Wendy first.

The two then used the teleportation anchor to arrive at the Windrise of Mondstadt.

They didn't see Wendy in the tree, but they weren't worried.

Ying cleared her throat and shouted, "Wendy, Wendy, Wendy!!!"

Ying's shout shook a few leaves off the big tree in the wind. The leaves fell down in a rustling sound, but Wendy still did not appear until they hit the ground.

"Ying, what's going on? Why isn't Wendy here?"

Ying calmed down and thought about it. With Wendy's abilities, if she were still in Mondstadt, she should be able to hear her shouts. Since there was no response, she probably wasn't in Mondstadt.

Judging from what Xiao just said, Zhongli is very likely not in Liyue either. Could they be in Sumeru?

The Tree King had previously said he could help Zhongli heal, but at that time Zhongli had many things to do, so the treatment had to be put on hold for the time being.

Are they in Sumeru now?

Since they had considered this possibility, they had to go and see for themselves, so the two of them teleported to Sumeru.

In the Jingshan Palace.

Nasita was very happy about the arrival of Ying and Paimon.

Ying knew the urgency of the call for help; the Abyss could attack Inazuma at any moment.

"Nasita, are Zhongli and Wendy in Sumeru?"

Narcida tapped her chin with her index finger: "Are you talking about the gods Morax and Barbatos? They are indeed in Sumeru now, but..."

Paimon: "Just what?"

Nasita: "Both gods were injured in the previous battle. Gods' injuries are very difficult to heal. My mother is currently healing the two gods."

Nasita can now call the Tree King "Mom" without feeling awkward, because both the Tree King and she have accepted this identity.

Ying's eyes widened: "Wendy is injured too?"

That guy has always acted like...

Nasita: "Yes, both gods are injured. My mother took them into the World Tree. I will be in charge of governing Sumeru during this time."

"what?"

Ying and Paimon exclaimed in surprise at the same time. Ying then asked, "Then Narcida, can you contact them?"

Nasita: "Of course it's possible, but I think it's best not to do it unless it's something very important. Forcibly interrupting Mom's healing using the World Tree will not only hurt Mom, but also worsen the injuries of the two gods receiving the treatment."

Nasita solemnly explained the pros and cons, and then handed the decision-making power back to Ying and Paimon.

fluorescent:"……"

Paimon also fell silent.

They are good friends with Zhongli and Wendy, that's true, but interrupting their treatment...

Ying knew Nasita's personality very well; she wouldn't joke about something like this.

Wendy and the others are not Inazuma's gods after all. Should she really interrupt them for Yunling's sake?

……

The world of players.

The choice that Ying is now facing is also presented to the players.

Chen Xiyao was also stunned when she saw this option; she had the same thought as Ying.

I really want Yunling to be alright, and I really want Zhongli and the others to go help Daoqi, but…

This is a crucial stage in their treatment, and I really can't bring myself to disturb her.

In the end, Chen Xiyao chose to give up.

With such a large player base, there's no shortage of people who would try to interrupt Zhongli and Venti's healing progress.

However, after the players clicked "confirm interruption," some of the Travelers on their interfaces said something inappropriate, and then two more options appeared.

Clicking interrupt again will bring up two more options.

Finally, the players realized that there was only one possibility!

……

Rice wife.

Ba Ling Island.

The man in black robes learned about Ying and the others' plea for help by sharing Jiang Mumu's perspective.

This time, her scenes don't include Zhongli and Wendy.

Did he really think he had been waiting all this time to prepare to attack Inazuma?

No, no, no, this kind of thing takes less than half a day.

He was waiting for Zhongli and Wendy to be busy.

Chapter 254 War, Imminent

If Zhongli and Wendy come, the Tree King might also come, and then it will be a direct confrontation with the Four Gods. Does her "Abyss" have that kind of power?

Yes, of course there are, but there's no need.

Although there was a lot of emotional feedback, we shouldn't be so wasteful.

The Demon God War had just taken place in Sumeru, and if it happened again in Inazuma, the players' emotions would definitely not be as strong as the first time.

Furthermore, it would seem cheap if Zhongli and Wendy always took action.

Let those two old guys get some rest.

If they really recover during this period and are even planning to come to Inazuma...

Jiang Mumu has other methods.

Now, it's time to put your plans into action.

In the deep waters near Ba Yun Island, parts of a giant snake's body slowly swam by, its enormous scales appearing and disappearing in the water.

Many players felt a chill run down their spines upon seeing this scene, their primal fears stirred within them.

The man in black snapped his fingers, and the giant snake emerged from the water with its enormous head.

The giant snake opened its mouth wide and spewed out bursts of black mist.

The black mist rose to a certain height and spread out, quickly enveloping the entire Bayun Island, and the place where the black-robed man was located also turned pitch black in an instant.

……

Black mist spread from other places into the sky above Narukami Island, gradually enveloping the entire island.

It was afternoon, and the once bright sky suddenly darkened. The common people of Inazuma were already filled with anxiety because of what had happened earlier and the shogunate army that filled the streets.

Under these celestial phenomena, they dared not even leave their homes.

Narukami Taisha Shrine.

As the saying goes, "the higher you stand, the farther you can see." Everyone saw the black fog as soon as it surged in, and their hearts were heavy.

Those still at Narukami Shrine include Lei Yingdian, Yae Shinji, Yun Ling, Kuki Shinobu, Ichidou, and Chu Xi. The others have already left at Ying's command.

Shadow's gaze pierced through the black mist, and he saw an even greater killing intent.

She turned to look at the divine child, who nodded gently.

At Kagemaya and Narukami Shrine, the priestess can wield even greater power, and is more confident in protecting the spirit.

Without further hesitation, Shadow unleashed a burst of lightning around him, and the Nagi no Inari appeared in his right palm. He then moved sideways and charged into the black mist.

"Sister Divine Child, we..."

The divine child turned around and said, "You should all stay here. That guy won't let this go. There's likely to be a fierce battle here soon."
