In the early morning, when the golden sunlight gently penetrates the layered branches and leaves of the pink sacred cherry trees, the mottled light and shadows fall on the ancient and solemn ground of the Narujin Taisha Shrine, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet place.

The breeze blew slowly from the shadow to the mountain, gently swaying the branches and leaves of the sacred cherry tree, making a rustling sound, like a whisper of nature.

The thousand-year-old shrine is solemn and peaceful.

The shrine maiden, Inashiro Hotaru, dressed in traditional red and white shrine maiden costume, held a broom in her hand and lowered her head to sweep the ground of the shrine with great concentration.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the shrine, breaking the tranquility of the early morning.

Yingmei raised her head and looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a young man and woman slowly walking towards them.

The man was handsome and resolute, his eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses revealed depth and wisdom, yet also a hint of imperceptible indifference.

The woman is as fresh and refined as the morning dew. The Inazuma kimono she wears is unique, showing both traditional charm and modern fashion sense.

As soon as this eye-catching pair appeared, they immediately caught the attention of Daocheng Yingmei.

A kind smile appeared on the man's face, and he introduced himself in a gentle tone: "My dear witch, I am a novel publisher from Fontaine, my name is Ide.

Please inform the Palace Master that we have something very important to discuss with her."

"Please wait a moment."

Hearing the words "Fontaine's novel publisher", Inashiro Hotaru immediately put down the broom in her hand, turned around and walked quickly towards a house in the shrine.

After a while, she returned to her original place and said, "The palace chief has agreed to meet with you. Please follow me."

After saying that, she turned around gracefully and led Lin Yide and the woman named Qianzhi beside him through a corridor to a room filled with Inazuma style.

Gently push open the door and a light and elegant fragrance will hit you. The furnishings in the room are simple yet stylish, and every detail reveals a profound cultural heritage.

The first thing that catches your eye is a beautiful woman sitting upright in front of a low seat.

She had a graceful figure, and her long pink hair cascaded over her shoulders, swaying gently as she moved.

Her face is as delicate as a painting, and her charming eyes reveal an indescribable charm.

Her eyes are clear and deep, as if they can see into people's hearts, while also inadvertently revealing an elegant and mysterious temperament.

She is none other than the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine - Yaegamiko.

Lin Yide and Qianzhi sat down opposite her.

Yae Shenzi smiled slightly, "I didn't expect that the famous owner of the West Factory would come to visit."

There was a hint of ridicule and mockery in her words, but she also accurately revealed Lin Yide's true identity.

Lin Yide was not surprised by her words.

His deeds shocked the entire continent of Teyvat back then. He slaughtered more than 500 people in one breath. Looking through the entire history of Teyvat, it was clear that only a demon with an extremely cruel and crazy temperament could do such a thing.

He stated his purpose straight away: "Yaegongshi, I came here this time in the hope that you can help treat those patients on Bayun Island who have been infected by evil spirits."

A hint of confusion appeared on Yae Shinko's originally calm face.

She frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "The Society Bugyo has urged the Shogunate Army of the Tenryo Bugyo to do this. Could it be that something unexpected has happened?"

Lin Yide recounted his previous experience.

After hearing this, Yae Shinto's beautiful face was suddenly covered with frost.

She clenched her fists, shaking with anger, "How dare they do such a cruel thing!"

She tried hard to suppress her anger and said to Lin Yide, "I will arrange for the witch Daocheng Yingmei to treat these patients infected with evil spirits. She has been practicing with me for many years, so it should not be a problem for her to remove the evil spirits left by the dead snake."

Lin Yide shook his head slightly, "I still hope that Lord Yaegongshi will go with me in person to see how miserable the lives of the residents of Bayun Island are now!"

A trace of deep sorrow flashed across Yae Shenzi's eyes, and he sighed, "I also roughly know the misfortune of the residents of Bayun Island."

"Know?" Lin Yide's words revealed a strong sense of sarcasm, "So, you just watch the people of Inazuma fall into endless suffering and do nothing?

Don't you just want that extremely stupid god to realize how ridiculous the eternity she is pursuing is?

And then change your will?"

Yae Shinko's expression suddenly changed when he realized what he was really planning, "This is the best way. As long as the gods recognize their mistakes and change their will, Inazuma will usher in true light.

The sacrifice of a few people for the happiness of the future Inazuma people is worth it.”

Lin Yide laughed, his laughter full of sarcasm, "Hahahaha... How ridiculous? The sacrifice of a few people is worth it?

So why weren't the nobles sacrificed? Are they really superior?

And those honest civilians should be the cheap things to be sacrificed?"

He stopped laughing and said coldly: "I have a different idea."

Yae Shinko stared at him with a serious expression, "Ide, what exactly do you want to do?"

"My goal is simple," Lin Yide replied lightly, "I just want to overthrow the tyranny of a god."

His words sounded easy, as if overthrowing the rule of God was just a piece of cake.

The heart of the Eightfold Son of God had already been filled with great turmoil. For mortals, overthrowing the rule of gods was almost impossible to do, because mortals could not resist the power of gods at all.

But the confidence and calmness revealed in Lin Yide's words make people believe that he is really capable and will definitely achieve this feat.

Yae Shinko still insisted: "I think reversing the will of God is the best way to solve the problem."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qianzhi retorted eagerly and excitedly: "This is not a solution at all. That foolish god will only bring endless suffering to this land."

Yae Shinko's face turned cold, "No matter how incompetent Lei Dianying was, it is undeniable that without her protecting Inazuma, Inazuma would have long been reduced to ruins.

Because of Inazuma, she lost almost all her relatives and friends. "

After hearing this, Chizhi was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say. She had to admit that if there was no General Raiden, the country of Inazuma might not have existed.

At this time, Lin Yide said calmly: "In this case, I am willing to take a step back and agree to retain her position as general. However, from now on, she will no longer interfere in the management of Inazuma."

Yae Shinko frowned and shook her head firmly: "I disagree. As long as Lei Yingdian's will is changed, she is still a qualified god."

Lin Yide stopped arguing and slowly stood up from the floor. "I will come here again in three days. You will definitely agree with my plan then."

After saying this, he turned and walked towards the door without staying any longer.

Qianzhi followed closely behind and left silently side by side with him.

Yae Shinko was left alone in the house. She looked at the two people leaving and let out a long sigh.
