Genshin Impact: I am best at sacrifice, don't cry

In order to motivate Manye, Nandou very considerately announced to the public that all the rebels would be beheaded in the street in a month.

Under normal circumstances, there might also be the option of robbing the execution ground.

But Nan Dou set up the beheading site in front of the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue, which meant that it would be under the watchful eyes of General Lei Dian. Coupled with the "cruel and ruthless" Nan Dou, the option of robbing the execution ground became almost impossible.

As for the prison break?

Are you sure you want to rescue the person from the prison in Inazuma Castle which is heavily guarded by hundreds of thousands of shogunate troops?

From then on, under Nandou's arrangements, Manye and the rebels were left with only one last option - a duel in front of the emperor.

To be honest, Nan Dou looked down on Shanghai Island and even felt a little disgusted with it.

He did not even cherish the opportunity that he had gained by sacrificing his life for the god he believed in, and he was hypocritical even after submitting to Inazuma for thousands of years.

Although he surrendered on the surface, he secretly trained his troops and had territorial disputes with Inazuma.

If Ying had not felt guilty about what happened to Orobas and turned a blind eye to the affairs of Kaijima, someone else would have sent troops to suppress it long ago.

Why do the people of Kaiji Island always call themselves Kaiji people instead of Inazuma people?

The heart of Sima Zhao is known to all.

Of course, Haizhi Island doesn’t have Sima Zhao’s ability.

In Nandou's opinion, the unstable factor of Haizhi Island also needs to be dealt with later.

As for how to deal with it, that is naturally entirely up to General Lei Dian, but maintaining independence is absolutely impossible.

Nandou had basically done everything he was supposed to do, and all that was left was to wait for Manye to show up.

Sure enough, half a month after Nan Dou had been eating, drinking and having fun, news of an open request for a duel in front of the emperor spread in Inazuma Castle.

General Lei Dian naturally agreed immediately.

According to Nan Dou's request, the duel in front of the emperor was scheduled for the day before the execution.

In other words, as long as Manyo fails, Kihara Ichiro and Goro will accompany him on the journey.

There is still a month left before the traveler reaches Inazuma.

This time, Nan Dou is the leader.

Finally, when Nan Dou felt that he had been waiting for so long that even the flowers had withered, the day of the duel in front of the emperor finally arrived.

"Nandou, are you ready?"

Kujo Sara helped Nandou put on the armor that belonged to the general of the shogunate army, and asked without being very worried.

Nan Dou stretched lazily, yawned and said, "Always be prepared~~"

Kujo Sara followed the fully prepared Nanto to the scene of the duel in front of the emperor.

Unlike Kujo Sara who had a serious and nervous expression, Nan Dou felt more relieved and expectant.

Wan Ye's life was not difficult at all, and he even took the initiative to increase the difficulty in order to have fun.

Well, that’s not the case.

In fact, the reincarnation of Nan Dou’s own memories before, now, and in the future is not difficult, because it has already happened and any result will not affect Nan Dou’s current situation.

The only thing that can be affected is actually Nan Dou's mood.

But even so, Nan Dou still wanted to make himself happier.

Because in the realm of reincarnation, in addition to the reincarnations that belong to his memory, he will probably have to experience reincarnations that do not belong to his memory.

If you want to crack the realm of reincarnation, or in other words, gain control over the laws of reincarnation, you need to get used to reincarnation.

Five or ten reincarnations are nothing; it would take at least a hundred times.

So before facing the reincarnation that may make his soul lost, Nan Dou at least wants to make up for his past regrets.

"Nandou, I'm here."

In the arena of the Imperial Duel, Nanto, who was immersed in thought, was awakened by Manye's voice.

"It's already reached this time."

Nan Dou felt a little emotional. Above the two of them was the mighty General of Thunder. The duel in front of the emperor had to be conducted under the witness of God.

"Manye, you haven't realized that the freedom you pursue has actually been bound by many things."

"You can't possibly defeat me like this."

White light flickered in Nan Dou's hand, gradually condensing into the Sword of the World.

Wan Ye stared at Nan Dou and silently drew the long sword from his waist.

Every place in Inazuma Castle was already crowded with Inazuma people and various forces mixed in among them. They watched this unprecedented duel in front of the emperor with different thoughts.

At this time, Nandou and Manye were the focus of everyone's attention.

General Lei Dian covered the two men with his divine power, and at the moment the protective shield was formed, the bodies of the two men began to move.

Strong winds and thunderstorms intertwined in an instant, and the terrifying sound was like the end of the world.

"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!"

The two of them moved so fast that even their afterimages were difficult to capture, and only the sound of weapons colliding with each other could be heard continuously.

Nan Dou had no intention of letting Wan Ye win. He didn't want Wan Ye to win, so he naturally would leave no stone unturned.

At the beginning, Wan Ye could still keep up with Nan Dou's rhythm, but soon, Nan Dou, who no longer stayed behind, forced him to retreat step by step.

Wan Ye knew that this wouldn't work. Instead of being pushed into a desperate situation step by step, it would be better to give it a try.

But what Wan Ye didn't expect was that the wind slash he released with all his strength was caught by Nan Dou's hand and then crushed!

Wan Ye, who was barely holding on, ended the battle, which had no suspense to begin with, the moment his fighting spirit began to waver.

Nandou's giant sword was placed on Wanye's neck, and Wanye could only helplessly announce his defeat.

The Inazuma Castle, which had been extremely noisy, became completely quiet at this moment. Manye, the strongest swordsman who was highly expected by the rebels, easily fell in front of the general of the shogunate army.

"Manye, freedom is a selfish thing. There are so many troubles in the world. Unless you understand everything, you will never be completely free."

"Of course, the most important thing is to have extremely strong strength."

"Do you think... you can do this?"

Nan Dou slowly retracted the giant sword and questioned Wan Ye word by word.

"Boom!"

The deafening thunder rang in the ears of every Inazuma person, and the God of Thunder revealed His majesty.

"Manye, you still have one last chance, stay alive!"

The figure of General Lei Dian appeared in Wan Ye's eyes. Before he was pulled into the realm of consciousness, Nan Dou's last words reached his ears: "There are always creatures on earth who dare to face the power of thunder!"

In the space of consciousness, Wan Ye raised his head and looked at General Lei Dian, who showed the majesty of a god, and the fear in his heart disappeared.

"Nandou, you told me since childhood that freedom must be earned by one's own efforts."

"But I have never told you that the freedom I long for is for everyone around me to smile happily."

An unprecedented sense of clarity surged into Wanye's heart, and he did not retreat even a single step in the face of a god that was beyond the reach of mortals.

"General Lei Dian, the shackles of the Eye Hunting Order cannot restrain your souls that yearn for freedom!"

"..."

A moment later, the thunderclouds covering Inazuma Castle quickly dissipated.

The onlookers began to speculate that this must be because General Lei Dian's divine punishment had ended.

In other words, the talented young swordsman has probably turned into ashes now.

But soon, Wan Ye reappeared in front of everyone and broke this conjecture.

That’s right, Manye successfully survived General Raiden’s consciousness trial, and even used Nandou’s back-up plan.

In other words, Nan Dou had already planned this from the very beginning.

Ying had already been distracted by the future promised by Nandou and the criticism he had made in the past, and his will to fight was greatly reduced. It was also crucial that Wanye also resisted tenaciously.

Just when many onlookers were at a loss, Nan Dou stood up.

He announced loudly: "The general has seen your determination and has decided to abolish the Eye Hunting Order. The new decree will be issued today, so please look forward to it."

Just as Nandou finished speaking, all the lightning in the sky disappeared, and General Raiden returned to the castle tower.

He lost the bet with Nan Dou.

After the news came out, Manye quickly became a household hero and was touted by many people.

After all, although the Eye Hunting Order only targets the owners of the Eye of God, the Closure Order has made the lives of ordinary people, who are already not wealthy, even more difficult.

But they didn't feel happy for long, as Nan Dou arrived with numerous reform measures.

The first is to abolish the three-priest system that has been in place in Inazuma until now, increase the intensity of foreign trade, and develop a cluster-based industrial and agricultural system...

Nan Dou's reform steps were big, but with General Lei Dian's support, any opposition voices quickly disappeared.

In just over a decade later, the entire Inazuma was completely transformed.

Manye, who once fought for freedom for the Inazuma people, also became the culprit who started the great changes in Inazuma and was cursed by many people.

"Manye, how do you feel about Inazuma now?"

Nanto asked Manye, who was now middle-aged.

"Okay, but it's time for me to pursue my freedom, Nandou."

"I hope to see you again next time I come back."

Having completed the family inheritance mission, Manye resolutely left Inazuma alone and traveled around Teyvat.
