Genshin Impact: Legend of the Emperor

The so-called light will surely penetrate the long night and ignite a ray of hope in people's hearts.

For the desert people of Xumi, water is hope. The endless water delivery teams along the winding trade routes are their hope for survival.

No one thought it was a disaster at first.

People living in the desert have been fighting since they were born, fighting against the harsh living environment of the desert, fighting against the poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts in the desert, and fighting against their own kind who are more ferocious and cunning than the beasts.

People who grew up in the desert have a much greater desire for power than people in other regions.

So when everyone learned that they could get a powerful plant warrior, no one in the desert would miss this opportunity. Human tenacity was amazing, and desert people from all directions gathered at this small distribution point oasis.

Anyone who sees this would be amazed at how this barren desert can feed so many people.

The water delivery team organized by Aci alleviated the urgent needs of various distribution points. With sufficient water supply, the desert people had the confidence to rush back home with the plant warrior seeds.

But looking at this group of people struggling to survive in the desert, the Great Compassionate Tree King wondered if there was any way to help them live a better life?

【Ding! 】

Hearing the message alert tone coming from the elemental phone, the Great Compassion Tree King, who was thinking, picked up the phone to check the message.

Keqing: @Aci, are you there? Are you there? Are you there?

Keqing: I found a way to solve the problem of transporting fresh water to Xumi.

Ah Ci: Really? ! Please tell me quickly! ! !

Seeing that Ah Ci, who usually behaved very calmly, was now so excited, Keqing raised the corner of her mouth and stopped keeping the secret.

Keqing: Aci, do you still remember the transport airship?

Aci: The transport airship, the flying device that the Fatui used to deliver popsicles to various countries, I remember it.

Aci: You mean using transport airships to deliver fresh water to the desert!

Ah Ci: Taking advantage of flying and not being restricted by the desert terrain, this plan is indeed feasible, but do we have to trade with the Fatui? It always feels like trying to get the skin of a tiger. Those Fatui will definitely take the opportunity to make many unreasonable demands.

Seeing that Ah Ci had guessed the rest after she had only mentioned the beginning, Keqing couldn't help but sigh that he was worthy of being chosen by the God of Wisdom, and was indeed smart.

Keqing: No, you are half right. I do plan to use airships to transport fresh water to Xumi, but I do not intend to cooperate with the Fatui.

Keqing: It's not just the Fatui that have airships.

Keqing: In order to quickly support Fontaine, Lu Ming developed a huge elemental airship. Not only is it several times larger than the Fatui's popsicle airship, but its power and carrying capacity are also much stronger than the Fatui's popsicle airship.

Ah Ci: Really? Thank you, Lady Keqing, for your efforts for Xumi! I will contact Mr. Lu Ming right away.

Keqing: Wait!

Ah Ci: ???

Keqing: Although I know you are anxious to solve Xumi's water transportation problem, don't be so anxious - because I have borrowed Lu Ming's elemental airship!

Ah Ci:!!!

Aci: Xumi has no way to repay Lady Keqing's kindness. It so happens that the position of Xumi's great sage is still vacant. If Lady Keqing is interested, the position of great sage will be reserved for her.

Keqing: I am a great sage? ! !

Keqing looked at the message sent by Aci and rubbed her eyes hard, suspecting that she was dazzled.

The great sage who presides over the Ordinance Court is second only to the gods in Xumi and above all others. His status is slightly higher than that of Tianquan Xinghai, the leader of the seven stars in Liyue.

After all, the seven stars of Liyue check and balance each other. Tianquan Star is nominally the leader of the seven stars, but it has no control over the other seven stars of Liyue. If the great sage of Xumi wants to dismiss other sages, it only takes a word. In the plot, Azar put the two sages who did not cooperate with him in prison, and no one opposed him.

Although the position of great sage was very tempting and made Keqing very excited, after careful consideration, Keqing still rejected Aci's kindness.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. Keqing doesn't think she can be the Great Sage of Xumi and handle all the affairs of Xumi at the same time as being the Yuheng Star of Liyue.

Keqing has always been a person who is strict with herself. She pursues the principle of either not doing anything or doing it to the best of her ability.

Although the position of the Great Sage is high and powerful, it also requires corresponding responsibilities to deal with all matters of a country, big and small. Keqing doesn't think she has the energy to handle her job as Yuhengxing under such circumstances.

So should I quit my position as Yuheng Star and concentrate on becoming a great sage with a brighter future?

Keqing shook her head. Although the position of Great Sage was tempting, she was a Liyue person after all, and a subject of Geolord. In Liyue she had her family, her friends, and her competitors, all of which were concerns she could not give up.

In the end, after Keqing politely declined, Aci could only regretfully re-select a new great sage.

Aci's decision to let Keqing take on the position of the Great Sage was not a momentary impulse. She had seen Keqing's performance during the past few days. She found her serious and responsible, capable, had a bottom line, and was proactive. Although she was still a little immature, she had a lot of room for growth.

It’s a pity that the fallen flowers are affectionate, but the flowing water is indifferent.

Although Keqing refused the position of Great Sage, Aci, the Great Compassionate Tree King, bestowed the title of Honorary Sage on Keqing to express his gratitude to her.

This title is like the Honorary Knight of the Traveler or the Outstanding Citizen of Fontaine. It just sounds powerful and prestigious, but in fact it does not have much power, so Keqing chose to accept it.

Keqing has always been a person who is unwilling to be inferior to others. She was born into a prominent family, obtained the Eye of God when she was young, and became the original god that everyone envied. At a young age, she became the Yuheng Star among the Seven Stars of Liyue.

Having become famous at a young age, Keqing naturally has her own pride in her heart.

Then, Keqing met her lifelong enemy - Ningguang.

Although both became famous at a young age, Ningguang seems to be better than Keqing in every aspect.

Keqing comes from a prominent family, but Ningguang has worked hard from nothing to become a prominent family.

Keqing obtained the Eye of God when she was young, and Ningguang also obtained the Eye of God when she was young. Even compared to Keqing's Thunder-type Eye of God, Ningguang's Rock-type Eye of God is considered by the people of Liyue to be recognized by the Rock King. Even Ningguang's Eye of God is better than Keqing.

Speaking of status, they are all Liyue Seven Stars. Although the duties of the Seven Stars are in different fields and do not overlap, in name, Tianquan Star is the boss of Yuheng Star after the Seven Stars.

With Keqing's personality, if she let things take their own course, she would just work harder in secret so that she could surpass Ningguang in the contribution to the construction of Liyue.

But as luck would have it, Ningguang just happens to like teasing Keqing. What she likes most is seeing Keqing dislike her but unable to get rid of her.

Now Keqing has received the letter of employment from Xumi. Although she refused it, it means that her talents are enough to serve as a great sage. It is the recognition of her abilities by the leaders of Xumi. She should show off to Ningguang.
