Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave

In order to take revenge on Li Mochen and the immortals, Tartaglia actually took out the "Talisman of No Taboos". But this action accidentally exposed the Rock King Emperor who was hiding behind the scenes. At the beginning, when Shenhe heard Tartaglia say that the Fatui were copying the talisman behind the scenes, he laughed out loud and thought, "You ordinary people want to copy the Emperor's immortal talisman? You are dreaming!"

You know, the "Hundred Taboos Talisman" contains the divine power of the emperor. It is easy to draw the talisman, but it is difficult to inject divine power. Even the Shenhe, who is proficient in the art of talismans, cannot copy this talisman. Therefore, she said that the Fatui could copy this talisman, and she would not believe it even if she was beaten to death.

However, when Shen He saw the brand new "Hundred Taboos" in Tartaglia's hand, which was full of the emperor's divine power and every stroke was exactly the same as the emperor's handwriting, she was shocked. Combined with the news that the emperor was not dead, everything suddenly became clear.

It turns out that the talismans that awakened Osel were not forged by the Fatui, but were made by the emperor behind the scenes. He must have secretly used some means to replace the fake talismans of the Fatui with his own real talismans. This is why those "Talismans without Taboos" can awaken the Vortex Devil. Otherwise, the fake talismans mass-produced by the Fatui simply cannot do this, and their abilities are far from enough.

After telling Li Mochen, Xiao and Qiqi about this, Shen He's tone was filled with shock and anger. "What do you think is going on with the Emperor? Can't he just tell us openly? Why does he have to do so many things behind our backs and treat us like monkeys?"

Shenhe was furious when he thought about how he had been tricked into preparing a bunch of "sending off the immortals" things. It felt like he had put a lot of thought into holding a solemn funeral for an old friend, but on the day of the funeral, he jumped out of the coffin and danced in front of you. If he wasn't the emperor, Shenhe really wanted to stuff him back into the coffin, seal it with nails, and throw it directly into the sea to accompany Osel.

After hearing what Shen He said, Li Mochen smiled bitterly. "Well, it turns out that everything was planned by the Emperor. This is a bit of a joke. We fought the Fatui for a long time, but in the end we found out that we were just clowns being fooled by the Emperor."

Even Xiao, who always respected the Emperor, remained silent after hearing Shenhe's analysis. He knew that the Emperor was not dead, so Shenhe's speculation should be correct.

"But I don't understand, why does the Emperor want to awaken the 'Vortex Demon'?" Li Mochen couldn't help but ask the question, which was also his confusion.

According to Shenhe and Xiao, the strength of the "Vortex Demon God" Osel is far beyond the immortals. So why did the Emperor awaken such an enemy when he knew that the immortals could not defeat it?

"I'm not sure, but I guess it may be testing the attitude of us immortals." Shenhe replied.

"Attitude? What attitude?"

"Even if the Emperor dies and Liyue Harbor is facing destruction, will our group of immortals continue to fulfill their promise to protect Liyue?"

Shen He became angrier the more he thought about it. She understood the Emperor's thoughts. After all, the contract signed by the Immortal to protect Liyue was only for the Emperor himself, not for Liyue. So after the Emperor's apparent death, the contract ended, and the Immortal could choose to stay out of it. Therefore, it made sense for the Emperor to use the resurrection of the "Vortex Demon" to test the Immortal's attitude. But this did not mean that Shen He could accept this approach.

"So, when we go back, we just need to show that we are doing our best to defend, even if we really can't win, it doesn't matter?" After understanding Shenhe's meaning, Li Mochen's mentality calmed down. Even if Osel is powerful, the eight immortals can't resist and the Emperor is backing them up. Thinking in this way, this is just a test from the Emperor, and it will not have any actual impact on Liyue and the immortals.

However, Shenhe shook her head firmly, her voice filled with the emotion of wanting to tear Osel into pieces. "No! We must not only defend against him, but also defeat him with all our strength, and win completely!"

Indeed, now that they knew the Emperor's intention, the immortals were not in a hurry to achieve success. They only needed to show that they were doing their best and fight a polite and orderly battle. There was no need to fight desperately or bleed. If they couldn't win, they could just wait for the Emperor to rescue them. But Shenhe could not accept such a result, and neither could the immortals of Liyue.

"Why? Why do we have to accept this result? We have been fooled around by the Emperor, and in the end we still have to wait for him to save the situation and applaud his back? Are we immortals so useless?"

At this moment, Shenhe was burning with anger in her heart, and the resurrected Osel became her best target for venting.

"Even if it's just for the sake of pride, I will get rid of Osel and chop him into minced meat."

Although he didn't want to dampen Shenhe's enthusiasm, Xiao calmly pointed out: "Having said that, we may not necessarily win. The gap in strength exists in reality, and no matter how angry you are, you can't change this fact."

Shenhe's anger did not help in defeating Osel. However, she said firmly: "If we may not win before, we can win now."

“Where does your confidence come from?”

"It comes from my greatest mechanical creation - the 'Giant Wind and Cloud Puppet'."

When talking about this huge machine that he and Li Mochen had spent months building, Shenhe's mouth curled up slightly. That smile was like the reappearance of the Dragon King, full of majesty.

Of course, the completed "Giant Wind and Cloud Puppet" was enough for Shenhe to hold her head high with pride. When facing Osel's challenge, she had enough confidence and self-confidence.
