Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Hearing this extremely relaxed tone, Chang Ming was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.

Previously, the Rock Ridge and the Breeze were their vanguards, and now... they provided them with real help.

Chang Ming stood up from the ground again, his sea-blue eyes regained their brightness, and his strength slowly recovered with the help of the "Jade Shield".

The God of Rock's blessing gave him the ability to make up for his own physical strength, while the God of Wind's blessing gave him a weapon that would never decay.

After all, the prerequisite for being corrupted is to have a physical body, but...how can a weapon condensed from wind have a real physical body?

As the breeze once again wrapped around Chang Ming's fingertips, the balance of victory returned to balance at this moment.

Although it may sound strange to say this, but...how can borrowed power not be a part of one's own strength?

If you have the ability, why don’t you go to Jiebei?

Oh, you borrowed the power of the Reign of Death, so it’s okay.

"...I'd better use the weapon I'm most familiar with..."

While Chang Ming was pondering, he controlled the breeze at his fingertips to extend continuously outward, and finally formed a ceremonial sword that he often used.

But compared with the cold sword edge, this sword is a soft green.

But the gentleness is only an appearance, the high-speed rotating wind will cut anything it touches into pieces, leaving no room for anything.

Chang Ming gripped the sword in his hand, and then rushed towards his blood-red self without hesitation.

Your attack is over, now it's my turn to fight back!

""withered"..."

The hoarse syllables rang in Chang Ming's ears again, and the blood-red self in front of him was rushing towards him with a sword clenched.

But this time, this strange power will not have the slightest effect on him.

Dang Dang Dang——

The long sword forged by the soft mysterious wind and the long sword stained with a pitch-black aura collided with each other, making a buzzing sound of metal clashing with metal, but this time it was not Chang Ming who was retreating step by step, but the "self" who had mastered the ruling power of death.

In the previous few encounters, Chang Ming had always been wary, firstly because he was not clear about the details, and secondly because he was not sure what the Death Ruler was going to do.

Although it is still unclear what the Death Reign is going to do, but... he already knows what "his" background is.

What's more, he now has the extremely reassuring "Jade Shield" as a defense. He can completely abandon his previous conservative style of play and just need to attack.

Just focus on attacking and let the old man figure out the solution!

Of course, if Chang Ming's sword had not been corroded by the power of the Ruler of Death, he would not have reached that point.

After all, without weapons, he would not be able to implement the most effective solution, there is no doubt about that.

But now, the weapon in Chang Ming's hand will not disappear at all.

Although the black vines still climbed up the sword in Chang Ming's hand, they would soon be cut off by the high-speed rotating green wind, and then... return to normal.

Chang Ming completely abandoned the defensive fighting strategy and defeated "himself" step by step, unable to even utter those strange syllables.

Although the wounds on his body were still bleeding, facing this kind of guy...it was enough.

If it weren't for the fact that his power that belonged to the abyss was suppressed in this space and could not be exerted... he wanted to let this impostor see what real strange power was.

The green mysterious wind tore through the impostor's flesh, and countless black and red blood splattered. If it weren't for the protection provided by the shield, Chang Ming's face would have been covered in blood.

And above the blood-red sky, the owner of the eye was watching all this silently, with a smile of satisfaction on his face, like a mother's smile after seeing her child grow up.

"Your leadership ability is stronger than I thought. Your combat ability... well, it's not bad either."

"Part of the power of the rulership of death can be given to him, and the rest... he has to fight for it himself."

No one knows what kind of game the Ruler of Death is playing, and no one knows what He is thinking about.

Is His purpose really to break the false heaven?

Or maybe...He is simply tired of his current life?

Even the thoughts of the seven earthly rulers are difficult to understand, let alone the "Ruler of Death" who is one of the four supreme rulers?

......

While Chang Ming was fighting fiercely with his other self, Paimon was listening to Wendy's story with some surprise.

"So, that power is not actually the abyss? But... Sky Island?!"

"Yes, that's right. Perhaps it's because Chang Ming has used too much power from the abyss, or perhaps it's because of... fate, so He appears here."

Wendy's expression remained relaxed, but his tone was more serious than ever.

Zhongli was observing Ying, this always calm girl...but now her face looked very ugly, as if she had seen the truth of the world.

"Traveler, what's wrong with you?"

"..."

Ying shook her head silently, then looked at the place where the eye had just appeared and sighed softly.

"I think I know who the god I should look for is..."

“Who is it? Ugh! Could it be——?!”

Paimon was a little excited at first, but he quickly realized what was going on.

"Yes, it is the 'Reign of Death', but... it is just the same power. I am not completely sure yet."

"So... the ones who separated you from your blood relatives were actually the four rulers of Sky Island..."

Wendy touched her chin thoughtfully, then smiled softly.

"If that's the case, then I think there's nothing wrong with it."

"Eh???"

Paimon looked at Wendy in shock, and for a moment he felt that his brain was not enough.

It is obvious that a god who is more than one level higher than the Seven Gods is standing against them, so why would they say that there is no problem?

How can this be okay?!

Wendy ignored Paimon's surprise, smiled softly, looked at Zhongli who was stroking his chin in thought, and asked softly:

"Old man, can you tell them about that? After all... He came to you directly."

"...Um."

After a brief silence, Zhongli nodded slightly, then took out a black feather that exuded the breath of death.

"During your journey, you must have seen quite a few "holy relics", which are usually divided into five parts - "Crown of Reason", "Flower of Life", "Feather of Death", "Sand of Time", and "Cup of Void". "

"These five names represent the five supreme rulers on Sky Island, and the one we are meeting today... is the 'Ruler of Death' who controls death, and is the representative of the 'Feather of Death'."

"Not long after you left Liyue, I received the feather from Him, and He asked me to help His heir through the trials."

"Wait?! You mean, Chang Ming—"

"That's right, Fontaine's regent, Chang Ming, the best partner in Liyue's history, is the heir to the "Reign of Death."

"In other words... Chang Ming is the next 'Reign of Death'."
