Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

In the previous island story, everyone knew that the Manyo family had undergone a major change, but they did not know about the 'Thunder Five Transmissions'.

Now, Ayaka has explained this: the Five Transmissions of Lightning are five forging techniques passed down by General Lightning. Each one can make a family prosperous for generations and become a grandmaster.

Upon seeing this explanation, readers exclaimed: "General Thunder is truly awesome!"

She actually possesses five different forging techniques.

The general is truly amazing; she can do everything except cook and handle government affairs.

The reason why Manyo thought of Raiden Goden in the book is because the decline of Raiden Goden was also related to being 'framed'.

Currently, four of the five schools of the Thunder and Lightning lineage have been lost, leaving only the Heavenly Eye School with any remaining lineage.

As for what exactly happened, Ayaka and Manyo didn't know, as they weren't even born back then.

This piqued the curiosity of the travelers and others, and they decided to continue their investigation.

Chapter 788 Tampering with the Sword Manual

This story seems to have something to do with the Five Thunderbolts, but why hasn't the mysterious person sent any new messages?

Without a letter, doesn't that mean I'll have to investigate on my own? Mysterious man, you're slacking off!

There was nothing that could be done if the mysterious person didn't exert their efforts; the traveler had no choice but to take the initiative and lead the team to investigate.

Ayato in real life smiled. "That's great. The traveler is so cooperative, he's like a shill."

After turning the page, the story jumps to the next day, and the traveler asks Manyo if he has found any new clues.

Manyo said he had asked his former servant, who seemed to have been commissioned by Isshinden, Manyo's ancestor, to forge the 'Divine Sword' according to the blueprints.

(The sacred sword is not used in actual combat; it is usually displayed in the shrine and worshipped by people, so it is a very important 'ritual object'.)

However, the forging process went very poorly, and as the deadline approached, the swordsmiths in charge of forging fled in fear of punishment.

At this moment, Zhi Dong's large hands began to exert their strength, because they were there to pull people to Zhi Dong, giving the swordsmiths a direction to escape.

Then the Kaedehara family and the magistrate went after the fleeing swordsmith, since it was their responsibility.

They did manage to catch up with the knifemakers at the beach, but for some reason, they couldn't stop them from leaving by boat.

The head of the Kamisato family was injured by the defectors, and coupled with his advanced age, he died not long afterward.

The company was penalized for inadequate oversight, and the death of the head of the family led some of his subordinates to rebel, a classic example of geisha overthrowing their superiors. As a result, the Kamisato family suffered greatly afterward.

The Kaede family, also known as the Kaede clan, did not fare well either. They chose to seek other ways to make a living, but the bonsai art seemed to have limited prospects, and the Kaede family gradually declined.

Even so, it was still a pretty good ending. At least General Thunder didn't strip them of their status or cut off their heads.

Previously, the Yixin lineage always believed that the failure in forging the sword was due to insufficient skill, but now the story of the Five Immortals seems to have a different implication.

[Man-yeo said, "The story of the Five Song Immortals seems to suggest that the failure was not due to skill, but because the diagram had been tampered with."]

It wouldn't be difficult to investigate the truth of this matter, since the map is still being kept by the Kamisato family.

On their way to the Kamisato-yashiki, readers discovered something else: the flags at the festival site.

The flags were almost entirely decorated with images of generals and divine children, which wasn't a problem in itself. The reason they attracted attention was because:

Everyone noticed that the generals on these flags all looked the same, with their swords drawn, which Kujo loved to see.

However, there are so many pictures of the goddess, including her holding a calligraphy brush, smirking, and reading a book; almost no two pictures are the same.

The thought that this festival was planned by that scumbag fox himself... he definitely had ulterior motives! Kujo says he doesn't like watching it.

Having no interest in looking at the illustrations of Yae no Miko in various poses, Kujo quickly flipped through the pages, skipping the illustrations and jumping straight to the main text.

In the main text, everyone who received the atlas immediately used a simple method—washing it in water.

"Although the effect isn't very noticeable, you can see that some words have become blurry," Abedo said.

"Manyo, this map has indeed been altered. Someone framed the Kaedehara family back then."

Linghua and Wanye exchanged a glance, both of them feeling somewhat confused.

Although I have let go of everything, I still feel emotional when I learn that my ancestors were framed.

The stragglers were also reading, and when they came to this passage, they unconsciously clenched their teeth.

Although Lin Qiu hadn't told him the whole truth yet, judging from Lin Qiu's attitude, he knew that he must have had some misunderstanding back then.

The only good news is that I didn't go all out because Kaedehara's ancestor looked like Niwa, otherwise I would have regretted it terribly.

Even so, he was quite regretful and had already considered blowing himself up. If his 'self-destruction' could take him down with his enemy or salvage something, he would be willing to do so.

Unfortunately, his later story will tell him that 'self-destruction' was useless; history would not change, and it would only make his death easy.

Returning to the story, Manyo mentioned that his grandfather and great-grandfather had discussed wanting to revive the glory of 'Isshin-ryu'.

Then Manyo's great-grandfather handed the blueprint to Manyo's grandfather and asked him to forge a sword, but his grandfather also failed.

[Manyo said, "Undoubtedly, Grandpa also failed, so Great-Grandfather said, 'You couldn't find the secret, so it's your own fault for disappearing from the world.'"]

This statement caught Aberdo's attention, and he said:

[“Manyo, was it really true that what your great-grandfather said back then, ‘You can’t find the secret’?”]

Initially, no one paid much attention to this sentence, but Abedo's reiteration made everyone understand its meaning. It seems that Manyo's great-grandfather had already discovered the problem.

My great-grandfather's meaning was quite clear: if you can't discover the secret, it means your forging skills aren't strong enough to decipher the diagrams.

Since that's the case, even if the "One Heart Transmission" were to be revived, it would most likely face further calamities in the future, so it's better to just let things continue as they are.

To be honest, the crucial Sacred Blade was never forged, and the swordsmith in charge of forging it ran away.

This is a truly heinous crime. The fact that the Shadow didn't execute the person in charge is already a great favor.

However, many smaller families saw their mistakes and thought their opportunity had come, so they started causing trouble and disobeying them. This was the root cause of the decline of the Kamisato and Kaede families.

The pressure on the head of the family increased dramatically after the gekokujo clan overthrew him, and the ancestors of the Kaedehara family chose to protect themselves and lived a peaceful life for a period of time.

The head of the Kamisato family chose to tough it out, which resulted in Ayato and Ayaka's parents dying from exhaustion due to excessive pressure.

All of this stemmed from the 'tampering with the sword manual,' and now there seems to be an opportunity to uncover the truth, which Wan Ye and Ling Hua naturally do not want to miss.

The two wanted to investigate further. Since Wan Ye's great-grandfather had discovered something, perhaps there were some clues in Wan Ye's house. The group decided to go and look for them.

The Kaedehara family's property was confiscated because Manyo was wanted by the authorities, so I need to ask Kujo Sara about it. Sara is very easy to talk to in this regard.

"The items seized at the time are currently stored in a warehouse next to the magistrate's office. Now that Kaedehara has returned to Inazuma, those items should rightfully be returned to their rightful owner."

She didn't care about Wan Ye or his family fortune; she only cared about the general.

When the general issued a warrant for his arrest, he was a criminal, and his property was stolen goods. Now that the warrant has been lifted, it doesn't matter to Wan Ye anymore.

However, Kujo Sara felt somewhat guilty towards Manyo, since she was the one who had dueled with his friend back then.

Fortunately, Wan Ye had already let go of his resentment and was quite indifferent to his family property, so he didn't want much of it.

Manyo's intention was to have Kujo Sara sell their family's property and then use the proceeds to help the poor. Manyo was great, no further explanation needed!

Chapter 789 'The Cross Chapter'

Manyo made this decision partly to help the poor, and partly to say a complete goodbye to the past.

Those who have read the story of the island know that although Manyo is silent, he is very strong.

Paimon was still worried about what would happen if they didn't find any clues this time. Wouldn't selling everything bury the truth?

Wendy, however, saw through Wan Ye's heart and knew that he was prepared to accept any outcome; this was the wind god's ability to discern people.

In reality, Manyo had already done this, which deeply moved the impoverished people at the time.

However, not many people who have received the Manyo's grace feel moved yet. It's not that they are ungrateful, but that they are unwilling to spend money to buy the prophecy book and have not seen it at all.

The story continues with the process of searching for old items, during which they find the sword that Manyo used when he was a child practicing swordsmanship.

It was a knife forged from ordinary materials, not even sharpened, with the two characters '万叶' (Manyo) crookedly engraved on it. It seemed that it was engraved by Manyo himself, who was not yet familiar with engraving.

Paimon looked at the sword and said, "I can almost picture what Manyo looked like as a child."

I've got it! I've completely imagined it! The knife that Komango used!

The knife wasn't worth much, but the eyes of Manyo fans widened when they saw the news.

I just said I wanted Kujo Sara to sell off his family property here, right? Enough said, I want this sword, name your price.

Some wealthy women are already poised to make their move; Wan Ye's temperament and appearance are truly very attractive to them.

Unfortunately, Manyo's family property had already been sold off long ago.

This knife has already been acquired by Inazuma's Manyo fans, and people from other countries can only dream about it, just like Manyo fans from another dimension.

In the book, Xingqiu is investigating an old book. 'Xingqiu conducted an investigation (80/88) but failed to identify it.' He found nothing.

In the end, Manyo discovered something that seemed to be the key item—a bonsai.

When potted plants appeared in the illustrations, viewers felt a jolt, as if they were about to be sucked in and become guests at Manyo's Pleasure House.

Fortunately, this time it wasn't a dream. The group investigated the potted plant and found that it hadn't been sucked in. Instead, they found several pieces of white paper in the interlayer.

Everyone knows exactly what to do with this blank paper; without asking, it's definitely 'water'.

After soaking it in water, writing did appear on it; it was a letter written by Manyo's great-grandfather.

However, in the story, Manyo did not directly tell everyone the contents of the letter, but instead led them to a coastline.

This really piqued everyone's interest. Not only were the characters in the book curious, but the readers were also curious, and even Manyo himself was curious.

Upon arriving at the seaside, Manyo finally revealed the contents of the letter, saying that this was the place where the head of the Kamisato family and his great-grandfather had captured the swordsmith.

[“To the reader: I, Yoshiyoshi Kaedehara, have been trapped in a certain ‘secret’ throughout my life. Now, my days are numbered, and after much deliberation, I have finally decided to reveal this matter in its entirety.”]

It turns out that they were not injured by the swordsmith, but by a Kabuto.

This kappa injured the head of the Kamisato family, but stopped after knocking off the straw hat of Manyo's great-grandfather.

The letter read: "Upon seeing my appearance, they ceased their attack and instead sternly demanded to know my connection with 'Danwa'."

Upon learning that Manyo's great-grandfather was actually a descendant of Niwa who had been adopted by the Kaedehara family, the Kazeki-sensei left behind the words, "Tell her my name is 'Kokubun'," and departed.

When a country collapses, its soldiers are scattered. Although they are still in a state of misunderstanding and hate Niwa, they ultimately fail to harm his descendants.

This is now the only psychological comfort that stragglers find when they see this story.

The 'she' mentioned here naturally refers to Lei Movie.

The most outrageous thing is that the soldiers did all this to get revenge on the movie, but the head of the Kamisato family was too kind.

He worried that if this outrageous story got out, the Kaede family would be falsely accused of having ties to the criminals, so he warned others not to tell anyone.

After all, the swordsmith ran away, the head of the Kamisato family was seriously injured, but he was completely unharmed. It's natural for the head of the Kamisato family to have such worries.

He was just too good a person; he didn't say a word until his death in order to protect the Kaede family.

Lei himself had no idea about the Sanbing's revenge plan, and had never even heard of the name "National Collapse," so it can be said that Sanbing truly lived a life of failure.

Even though the plan to target Raiden Gosho succeeded with the doctor's help, the revenge plan still failed because Raiden knew nothing.

The soldier watched in silence; he had once laughed out loud about this very thing.

I'm still thinking about how the Five Thunderbolts were destroyed by the "collapse of the country," the Thunder Movie must be furious.

Looking back now, not only did the "angry thunder movie" fail, but I also deeply regret doing it. The stragglers are furious. In ten steps, my past self will become the enemy.

The stragglers were involved, but others had a different perspective.

For example, Valesha, a 'little person' who likes grand heroic stories, loves watching heroes, but can also empathize with 'little people'.

The collapse of the nation is a game of strategy with the general, and Balzeb is also playing a game of strategy with Balzeb's puppet.

But these seemingly casual moves by powerful figures are secrets that ordinary people have to protect their entire lives—it's all too heavy a burden.

Valesa admires heroes, but she also knows that she is just an ordinary person in life, so her emotional perspective is somewhat unique, which is why she is able to understand Manyo's great-grandfather in the story.

But to those who know Valesh well, all I can say is: who are you anyway?!

Valesa possesses superhuman strength; even the weights she uses for warm-up are weights that even elite soldiers cannot withstand.

It's really too 'heavy' to think that other people's upper limit is just your lower limit.
