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

Thank you. I'm sorry to have troubled you, Sachiko.

In the final moments of his life, Nagato was tormented. He was in great pain and longed to fall asleep, but the malevolent forces that haunted him would not allow it.

He was forced to face his 'death' with a clear mind, and before death came, he thought that he would be letting Sachiko down if he died like this.

Everyone was worried that he had secretly run away, but this was the unexpected outcome, and now they fell silent.

There wasn't even a body of Nagato at the scene. Could those Hilichurls have eaten him?

This story is not grand or magnificent, and the person who died was just a minor figure in Teyvat, but he was a big shot in his own life.

He's dead? But he shouldn't be dead, he can't be dead! If he's dead, what will happen to his wife? How will she cope?

The travelers and others all possess extraordinary abilities or identities, but Nagato has none of those, just like an ordinary neighbor who is right next to everyone else.

It's precisely this feeling of as if something terrible has happened to someone close to you that makes it so hard for readers to accept. The more they empathize, the more painful it becomes. Ordinary people don't have that kind of resilience...

Sachiko Nagato had completely broken down, hugging Nagato and crying bitterly. She threw the book aside; she couldn't bear to read it anymore.

Nagato patted his wife on the back to comfort her, while he continued reading, wanting to know how the story would end.

Although he already sensed that someone as insignificant as himself would likely have no further involvement.

In the sequel, Manyo and the traveler catch up with the 'Taishin,' who turns out to be the samurai who attacked the traveler earlier.

【？？？：“枫原万叶，you’ve finally appeared.”】

Readers are really starting to complain. And what's with the '???'? Isn't this obviously Yuya Tenmoku?

[Manyo said, "If it's 'Tenmoku Yuya,' then we shouldn't have any grudges."]

"But what if the person we're facing now isn't 'Yuya Tenmoku' as a person, but rather the sword in his hand?"

Slightly surprised, everyone initially thought that the knife had bewitched Yuya Amane, causing him to do these things, but now it seems that it was not bewitching, but possession!

The people of Fontainebleau couldn't help but wonder, how should this be sentenced? Should the knife go to jail?

Chapter 802 Passing on the Famous Sword with Single-Minded Dedication

It makes no sense for a knife to go to jail; it can't even operate a sewing machine, and Leosley doesn't use a knife.

This is somewhat beyond the bounds of Fontainebleau law; who would have thought a knife could have the ability to think independently?

Navelette is going to be busy; he needs to draft new laws based on this matter.

Everyone thought that Yuya Amaguchi's consciousness was still intact, but his desires and obsessions had been amplified. However, the reality is that Yuya Amaguchi's consciousness has been suppressed, and he is now the consciousness of a sword.

This is really a bit exaggerated. Nagato was only 'bewitched', so how could Yuya Amame's willpower as a samurai be inferior to that of an ordinary person like Nagato?

Actually, that's not the case. The main reason is that Nagato bought the sword as a collectible. He didn't use it; he just displayed it. Therefore, the power of the evil spirit didn't control him, but only influenced him.

Yu Tenmoku was unable to resist the power of the evil spirit while using the knife, which is why his body was controlled by the knife.

The truth was revealed, and the '??' in the book was given a name: the "One Heart Transmission" sword.

This sword comes from the "Isshinden" school, the sword-forging style passed down by the Manyo family.

The forging technique of "Isshinden" emphasizes the artist's own emotions and obsessions infusing the sword into it. This sword is imbued with the craftsman's obsession—to return to Inazuma and prove "Isshinden"!

[The legendary sword "Isshin-den": "At that time, he was unable to meet General Raiden's expectations and could only embark on a journey to the Winter Kingdom."]

This time, readers were more than just slightly surprised. This knife not only had consciousness, but also the ability to think and remember? Could this be achieved through forging techniques alone?

Of course not. Its ability to possess consciousness and memory is due to the power of the evil spirit.

However, using the power of the evil spirits to forge a sword would be too fancy, and when going to Liyue, you should be careful to walk on the road with a kimono stuck in your hair.

Regardless, the craftsman who forged this knife was a highly skilled individual. Raiden was quite annoyed. She looked at Shadow, then at her own wooden clogs.

The small feet, clad in white socks, are wearing wooden clogs. The slight twitching of the toes reveals the owner's thoughtful state.

Sensing the threat, Lei blinked and moved closer to Lin Qiu.

The reason why Zhen almost subconsciously looked at his wooden clogs was thanks to Ying's good apprentice, Lin Qiu.

When he had nothing to do, he would whisper things like "a thoughtless drag" or "seven wolves" in Zhenren's ear, things that were incomprehensible to most people.

Yingbao was unaware that her good disciple had betrayed her. She thought that her sister wouldn't scold her in front of Lin Qiu, so she moved a little closer to Lin Qiu.

Lei Dian let out a long breath, calmed himself down, and continued reading.

The legendary sword "Isshinden" has returned to Inazuma to fulfill the obsession of its forger and to prove itself to the Thunder General!

I am a genius! This is my work, my achievement! I am not a loser! Thunder and Lightning Five Transmissions is not a loser!

In order to prove himself to General Raiden, the famous sword "Isshinden" sought out Manyo, because Manyo was the heir of the Kaedehara family and was a perfect match for it.

Furthermore, Wan Ye was someone who had withstood a strike from the Thunder General, making him an ideal match.

He stormed up to the castle tower, grabbed General Raiden by the collar, and demanded, "Is my sword well-forged? If she dares to say no, I'll slap her across the face!"

I don't know if seeking out General Raiden to prove whether they are the underlying logic of all Inazuma creations.

The swordsman Yixin wanted to do this, the soldiers wanted to do this, and even the big meatball had thought about doing this.

There's something a bit strange about this: how did such a peculiar knife manage to survive until the end of winter?

Even if Zhi Dong doesn't need this famous sword as a weapon, it still has experimental value for the Doctor, right?

This is because the knife did not exhibit its own 'consciousness' at the onset of winter.

It concealed itself and secretly smuggled itself into Inazuma all the way, and only recently returned to Inazuma.

As for grabbing General Raiden by the collar and questioning her... that's impossible, because General Raiden's clothes, to put it simply, don't have a collar...

You can't question someone if you can't grab them by the collar; that's how the code is written.

However, Ying has a 'collar' around her neck, which can be pulled.

This sword really went to great lengths. In order to prove itself to General Raiden, it ran all the way from the end of winter back to Inazuma, changing hosts countless times along the way.

It's somewhat ironic that humans and tools have become separated; tools that humans used and replaced at will are now being used and replaced at will.

A knife becomes like a human, possessing its own thoughts, consciousness, memories, and emotions.

This is truly a strange thing, making some readers wonder if this knife has any sense of shame.

If it has a weakness, where is it? If the weakness is the blade, then wouldn't a weapon collision be...?

If it's the hilt of a knife, wouldn't it be... when someone holds it?

Fortunately, this knife only developed emotions like humans, but lacked the five senses, otherwise it wouldn't have been so wonderful.

Moreover, a sense of shame requires a high level of 'socialization' and 'self-awareness,' which this knife clearly lacks.

In any case, since it can understand human hatred and wants to fulfill its master's wish, it must also be able to understand human love.

It's just that it's now filled with hatred and only wants Wan Ye to become the one wielding the knife and cause trouble for Lei Shen.

Unfortunately, it was no match for Manyo at all; it couldn't even defeat Manyo in a fight, let alone force Manyo to submit to its will.

Paimon said, "You've clearly lost, yet you're still bluffing!"

[The famous swordsman was still stubbornly insisting: "Lost? It's impossible for me to lose, it's just that this body has reached its limit."]

That is a problem, since Yuya Tenmoku is currently its hostage.

If the Traveler and Manyo were to go all out, only Tenmoku Yuya would die in the end. It would be fine; even if its physical form were to disappear, its consciousness would not dissipate, just like the evil spirit.

Even if you break it, you can't save Tenmoku Yuya. It might even turn into the 'Demon Blade Thousand Blades'. You have to remove the evil spirit power inside.

Unfortunately, the Traveler did not learn how to exorcise evil spirits from the immortals when she was in Liyue. If it were someone from the Abyss, she could handle it easily, but evil spirits are not products of the Abyss.

In order to save Yuya Tenmoku, Manyo chose to use words instead of surgery and began verbal therapy.

"From your movements, I can only sense hatred, arrogance, and an undisguised frenzy and despair," Wan Ye said.

As Shadow once said, the mindset with which a sword is drawn affects the limits of martial arts; this sword, under this mindset, could not possibly defeat General Thunder.

It was for this reason that Shadow fought the General for a full five hundred years. The two seemed to be fighting, but in fact they were exchanging ideas. If it were just a simple battle, Shadow would have cut the General to pieces long ago.

Unfortunately, in the realm of consciousness, generals are immortal; the battle comes down to who has the stronger will and who has the greater scope of their attack.

Therefore, after reading the second part of the Shogun's Legend, Manyo, the successor of the "Isshinden" lineage, was completely convinced of the Shogun's authority.

As for why Manyo was able to understand these contents? That's because—

The sword technique used by the famous sword is the One Heart Transmission technique, which emphasizes the mind. Because it is WeChat (the mind), it is possible to send private messages to Wan Ye.

Chapter 803 The Bet Between Manyo and the Sword

Manyo received the message, but the Traveler and Paimon did not, so they remained puzzled.

Paimon asked, "W-you can even tell that?"

Paimon, who wasn't in the group chat, had no idea how Wanye figured it out.

Manyo gave a simple explanation, which roughly meant, 'I can read minds.'

[Wan Ye continued speaking to the 'Famous Sword': "I think your frenzy stems from your desperate gamble; you feel that my appearance is your lifeline."]

[The famous sword retorted: "Are you saying that I can't do anything without you?"]

Is this not what one would expect from a sword seeking revenge against the Thunder General? All the words spoken were directed at the General, like, "I can't do anything."

However, this 'sword' is actually suffering, because Wan Ye is right, it really can't do anything without Wan Ye right now.

It was so weak that it couldn't find a new host without being touched.

Nagato only collected swords, but never touched them himself. So for a long time, Nagato's obsession was amplified by the evil spirits, but he was not possessed by the 'famous swords'.

It wasn't until this transaction that it finally came into the hands of Yuya Tenmoku, and then it successfully 'possessed' him.

In other words, it doesn't want to give up Yuya Tenmoku, and it also wants to obtain Manyo's body.

So he proposed that Manyo exchange his life for Manyo's, using his body to exchange for Tenmoku Yuya's body.

Once it obtains Manyo's body, it will release Tenmoku Yuya.

Wan Ye also had a suggestion for this: a high-stakes gamble.

[Manyo continued his therapeutic rhetoric: "You returned to Inazuma to prove the unparalleled nature of 'Isshinden,' but for this cruel journey, you resorted to any means necessary, even disregarding human life."]

"Even if you've severed the light of heaven, is this the result the swordsmith wanted?"

Is this the result XXX wanted? If a detective game has developed to this point, it would be enough for Conan's crew to kneel down and repent.

Unfortunately, this isn't Conan's film set, and the knife doesn't have legs to kneel down.

[The famous sword retorted: "Shut up, you glib brat... He must achieve my goal; that's his ideal, the meaning of my existence."]

By saying this, it's essentially acknowledging the level of Wan Ye's "verbal sparring."

Manyo is definitely a protagonist-level character, which means the talk therapy is half successful.

The famous sword continued, "There's no point in arguing anymore, you descendant of the Kaede clan. If you want to save this guy, you'll have to exchange your body for his."

This knife had already realized its own 'meaninglessness' and was deeply mired in nihilism. In order to get rid of this nihilism, it desperately tried to give itself meaning.

To restore its master's glory? Yes! To wage a glorious duel against General Thunder—that is its very purpose!

This is similar to the skirmishers, who are trapped in nihilism and feel that their existence is meaningless, with the only meaning being to prove to General Thunder that they are not failures.

Even after learning the truth, the stragglers couldn't escape nihilism; they simply changed their purpose of existence to revenge against the doctor. In the future, there will be a story just for him to find his own meaning.

In this respect, they are not as open-minded as Yae no Miko. She would do things that were meaningless but very fun, using laughter to fight against nothingness.

For example, at this very moment, the divine child had some interesting ideas.

This sword is practically a willpower test! I wonder what would happen if Kujo Sara held it...

What will happen? The story actually provides the answer, because he risks his life to exchange his own body for Yuya's body.

He made a bet with the demon sword that he would take it in his hand and test its power. If the demon sword ultimately lost to his will, then how could he talk about defeating the Thunder General?

Manyo firmly believed that he could defeat the demon sword with his willpower. As long as the demon sword lost control over Tenmoku Yuya, they would have succeeded.

Manyo loudly conspired with the Traveler in front of the Demon Blade.

The demon sword heard this, but still agreed, allowing Wan Ye to take it to find someone worthy of a fight, in order to prove its worth.
