Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave

Chapter 273 Challenging God’s Authority

After listening to Wendy's explanation, Li Mochen suddenly realized why the God of Wind behaved so unusually.

There is no doubt that based on Wendy's personality, he is a god who firmly stands on the side of mankind. This wind god loves poetry, is obsessed with history, enjoys traveling, and likes fine wine. He experiences human life by going deep into the human world. He spends his daily life with sunrise and sunset like every ordinary citizen. Such a down-to-earth god is completely different from the real gods who are high above the sky island.

Therefore, Wendy would never deliberately protect the interests of Sky Island, nor would she help Sky Island sacrifice humans. The only motive could only be that once humans knew this secret, they themselves would perish.

On one hand, you can be sacrificed but maintain a peaceful life, and on the other hand, revealing the secret will cause the world to collapse, the country to perish, and all lives to be destroyed. With such a choice, almost no one would choose the latter.

"Damn it, so that's how it is..." Li Mochen gritted his teeth and punched the ground beside him. Indeed, what Wendy said made sense. Since we live in this world blessed by God, we should not go against God's will. So even if Wendy continues to maintain Sky Island and continue to work for it, Li Mochen can't blame her... huh?

Wait, something seems wrong?

Has Wendy really been playing for Skye? If so, why did he give up the Heart of God not long ago?

Suddenly, Li Mochen thought of an incident that had lasted for thousands of years and was connected to the modern world. If Wendy wanted to protect humans from the threat of Sky Island in his own way, the throne of the God of Wind was crucial. So why did he give up the "Heart of God" to the Frost Queen?

Having lost the "Heart of God", Wendy essentially regained his status as a demon god. In modern terms, it was like Wendy had resigned from the "Sky Island" organization. After resigning, Wendy was no longer an employee of "Sky Island", and his influence and voice would naturally decline significantly. From the perspective of protecting Mond alone, Li Mochen could not understand why he did this.

"Oh, so you noticed this too? You're really thoughtful." However, when asked this question, Wendy showed a sly smile.

"Indeed, if I continue to hold the 'Heart of God', it will definitely be more beneficial to protecting Mondstadt."

"But you still chose to give away the Heart of God. Does the Frost Queen need it more than you?"

Based on Li Mochen's understanding of Wendy, he would never do anything meaningless. The only possibility is that the Ice God really needs the "Heart of God" to complete a certain plan. After all, in addition to Wendy, Zhongli also made the same choice and gave the "Heart of God" to the Ice God.

Wendy's answer was brief but shocking: "I handed over the 'Heart of God' to the Ice God in the hope of making a last-ditch effort."

"Go for broke? Bet on what?"

"I bet she can destroy the order established by the high and mighty 'Sky Island' before her country is destroyed."

At this point, Wendy looked towards the far north, where the next wave of disaster was about to fall. However, Wendy's words surprised Li Mochen.

What does that mean? It sounds like the gods of Sky Island are about to attack the Kingdom of Winter?

"Why? Why would the God of Sky Island do this?"

"It may be that the current Winter Kingdom is developing too fast and is approaching the safety limit in the mind of God."

Looking back at the entire history, Wendy discovered a terrible fact: all the countries destroyed by Sky Island have technological power that is beyond their time. Whether it is "Shar. Findenir" two thousand years ago or "Black Sun. Kanreya" five hundred years ago. Their common feature is that their technology is extremely advanced, and they can even manipulate giant robot puppets.

The rapid development of science and technology is obviously not a good sign for the gods. After all, the more advanced the technology, the weaker people's faith in the gods. This has been reflected in the history of the earth where Li Mochen originally lived.

The ancients were unable to explain the various natural phenomena in the world due to their lack of scientific knowledge. Therefore, they attributed all the inexplicable natural phenomena to the blessings or warnings of God. Rain was the work of the Rain God, which moistened the earth and allowed people to grow food; thunder was the work of the Thunder God, which warned people not to go astray. From this perspective, it can be said that everything has God's will. The operation of the entire world, the cycle of heaven and earth, is all dominated by gods.

This situation is undoubtedly the most in line with God's will. However, with the development of science, people gradually understood the causes of wind, rain, thunder and lightning. After that, people even began to go out of the earth and explore the mysteries of the universe. At this time, the influence of gods can be said to have dropped to the lowest point. As a result, people no longer believed in gods, but instead believed in science.

This situation is undoubtedly what the gods least want to see. As a modern man, Li Mochen understands this more deeply than Wendy, because he has seen modern society that does not believe in gods and does not believe in gods. Therefore, before human society develops to this point, the gods choose to destroy it, which is a cruel but reasonable approach.

Unfortunately, the most technologically advanced country on the continent of Teyvat is the country of ice and snow, the Kingdom of Winter.

Li Mochen had witnessed the technological level of the "Winter Kingdom" many times. The reason why the "Fools", the diplomatic corps of this country, were so arrogant and domineering was closely related to their extraordinary technological strength. When soldiers from other countries were still wearing armor, the "Fools" were already wearing various mechanical armors. They could invent guns and cannons, transform the human body, and even make "evil eyes" from the remains of demons.

If you think about it carefully, this situation is very irritating to the gods. The gods give humans the Eye of God, symbolizing that they are the chosen ones of the gods. However, the Kingdom of Winter creates "evil eyes" that are comparable to the Eye of God and distributes them to its subordinates. This means that this country is actually performing duties on behalf of the gods and challenging the authority of the gods.
