Genshin Impact: Without the Eye of God, the Original Man Witnesses the Original

Jiang Yi chatted and jokingly with Nashida about different birthday ceremonies in different countries, constellations and the zodiac fairy tales of his hometown.

The mycelium-like hair was warm and soft, and Nashida shared the sense of the mechanical nightbird, as if the bird had made a nest on Jiang Yi's back.

After approaching Xumi City, Jiang Yi's figure began to shrink.

It turned into a big cat that was slightly bigger than before, with a pair of deep blue eyes, in order to hide its "tiger" form and not scare the people of Xumi City.

At the same time, the injury to his right eye was concealed.

The bright moon in Teyvat is cold and noble, like a jade plate inlaid in the galaxy.

Several adventurers wearing void terminals passed by them.

The smile on Jiang Yi's face gradually disappeared. After He Ying and Paimeng stepped into the gate of Xumi City, his eyes turned completely cold as ice.

"Clap clap clap!"

Under the orange, gold and blue lights, there was warm applause. Businessmen, scholars and tourists cheered. Men, women, young and old put down their work and lined the streets to welcome them. The streets were empty.

Under the lush and leafy holy tree, the House of the Decrees, built high against the holy tree, is like a giant under the tree, watching the welcome ceremony at the city gate.

The guard holding a spear raised his arm and shouted: "God of Man, God of Man, the god who wipes out the dead zone and saves the forest, the hero of gold and silver."

Ying and Paimon looked at the scene in astonishment, their bodies as if being blown by the night breeze of a winter night.

The lights around and the cheers in front of me could not bring any warmth.

This is not a glory that can be enjoyed, but a trap set after finally seeing the prey.

"This is..." Nashida felt uneasy and was about to flap her wings to fly, but Jiang Yi's tail reached out and wrapped around her, and she could no longer move.

"Leave it to me..." Jiang Yi's words rang in her ears.

“…Na…Jiang…” Paimeng finally realized that the person in front of him might be a blackmailer. The other party called him the God of Man, but he might not have really recognized Jiang Yi. “What’s wrong with these people in front of me? Why do they look weird…”

"Look up!" Ying said quickly, signaling everyone to look up.

In the night sky, an illusory large screen suddenly unfolded, and blue pixels flashed through it, turning into a huge face.

The black bird-beak mask, like a black crow of death, was decorated with the symbol of the Winter Executioner. The exposed chin was curved into a smile as sharp as a scalpel.

Her shoulder-length blue hair and gleaming blue test-tube earrings seemed to contain the most arrogant knowledge in the world.

“…Finally you’re back!”

"The great heroes of Xumi."

"Is this welcome ceremony grand enough?"

His voice was gentle, as if there was no malice in it.

The scholar's temperament is undoubtedly revealed.

That is the good upbringing that comes from advanced knowledge and education.

"Doctor!" Ying said with a serious look, "The exile of the Order House..."

"What, he... he is the Doctor! The second in command of the Fatui?" Paimon was shocked and felt nervous.

Legend has it that this man was able to secure his second seat as executive officer simply by his fighting prowess, and possessed godlike powers.

"What a surprise, Traveler Ying, you should have never seen me!" The doctor slowly stood up, revealing a white coat with black crow's beak shoulder ornaments, gray patterns and some blue gems on the coat.

“Did His Excellency the God of Mankind tell you?” He chuckled, the background showing the walls and ceiling of an unknown laboratory.

"The exile of the Decree-General... it is a nostalgic title."

"Those sages who are afraid of me will not reveal this news, especially after I come to Xumi to cooperate with them."

"I'm really curious, how did you know about this?"

"Have you looked up five hundred years of information?"

As the doctor opened his mouth, the crowd was surrounded by people cheering enthusiastically.

Ying and Paimon looked at the crowd that was coming.

Ying drew his sword, but was unable to do anything because these were ordinary people of Xumi, not monsters or soldiers of the Fatui.

"What did you do to them?" Ying asked angrily.

"I just modified the void terminal a little bit so that it can project information into the subconscious. You have experienced this before, right? During the Flower God's Birthday Festival." The doctor smiled, "Although at that time, I just told you not to run around and to go to sleep early."

"And now! The enthusiastic people all believe that you are the heroes who just saved Xumi. It should be said that this is the reality."

"Is that so? Lord God of Man, the Lord Forest King of Sumeru. Forest King, what a legendary title, the only 'tiger' in the forest."

He had already enjoyed the pleasure brought by the hypnosis experiment, and now, he just wanted to pay attention to this human god who was famous throughout the continent.

Jiang Yi took a step, and the ripples of his dream spread under his cat's claws. The crowds of people around him all seemed to have pressed the pause button, and the fanatical emotions in his eyes were gradually replaced by calmness and confusion.

"Hypnosis, a power I've long since grown tired of playing with, do you think it can be a hindrance to me?"

"Even if your hypnosis is through the void terminal?"

The ability of direct hypnosis is naturally more powerful than hypnosis through the void terminal, but the void terminal is a legacy of the Great Compassionate Tree King.

To break hypnosis is actually equivalent to fighting against the void terminal and removing the void terminal's occupation of human consciousness and thinking.

In silence, Jiang Yi and Nashida completed the connection of consciousness.

Nashida is the Little Auspicious Grass King and also the "original void terminal". Her consciousness has always been connected to the void. At this moment, she takes Jiang Yi's consciousness into the void, and with the help of two divine consciousnesses, she repairs everyone's consciousness.

Jiang Yi's consciousness fluctuated, one part was outside and one part was integrated with Nashida, in the void, covering up Nashida's consciousness.

Like a mustard seed containing Mount Sumeru, without a trace.

"Fortunately, what the doctor said about 'putting information into the subconscious' is not about engraving it into the brain... but it is similar to creating illusions in people's minds." The two of them were in tune with each other at this moment, and Nashida's words rang directly in Jiang Yi's heart.

"It doesn't matter even if it's engraved into the brain..." Jiang Yi casually shared the hypnosis knowledge he had. His hypnosis used to guide mental thoughts. Later, he looked inward and sought the ultimate concept of human beings. He saw the operation of his brain, the transmission of every thought and neuron.

He also compared his own brain with the brains of ordinary Fatui soldiers, modified soldiers, and hillbillies. He did not do it in a crude way that would destroy the structure of life, but rather, after reaching the supreme realm, his divine consciousness had the ultimate insight into the microscopic world.

The brains of ordinary people, the brains of hillbillies, the brains of transformed soldiers... there are already physiological differences inside. One's own brain is even more so. It has been extremely distorted, reconstructed, and sublimated after being subjected to various forces such as true qi, elements, earth veins, darkness, demon remnants...

Now... he can no longer see clearly.

That is, the inability to discern oneself.

But repairing the brain of an ordinary person and the understanding in the brain is still simple.

This does not require the power of gods to destroy the world. The current power is enough. With the ultimate understanding of life, the most subtle repair operations can be completed.

He is now an ecological life formed by the aggregation of microorganisms.

However, the doctor's hypnosis was not so profound that it could be engraved into the brain and permanently change the brain neurons.

"Pa pa!" crisp applause came from the big screen. The doctor's eyes were filled with admiration. "The power of consciousness you have displayed at this moment is not huge, but it is like a spider threading a needle, controlling everyone's consciousness and removing the input of the void terminal information into people's subconsciousness."

“What beautiful knowledge and technique.”

Jiang Yi's deep blue eyes looked at the doctor on the screen: "If this is worthy of admiration, Doctor, you will make me doubt whether your knowledge can bear the title of erudition that represents my hometown."

To deny knowledge to a scholar is like denying swordsmanship to a proud swordsman.

"Also, he is hiding his head and showing his tail. This doesn't seem like an executive officer of the second seat of winter, a scholar who can personally supervise experiments. He is more like a conspirator who hides behind the scenes, pretending to be calm in times of panic, showing a laughable performance while waving weapons."

"You recognized my identity..."

"But you dare not come to see me in person?"

Like a tiger sitting in the mountains, Jiang Yi held his head and chest high. Even though the cat's body was only as tall as a human's calf and there was a dusk bird tied to its tail, it still exuded an awe-inspiring aura.

The doctor on the screen lowered his head slightly. As a qualified scholar, he would not easily have his emotions fluctuate.

Jiang Yi's words were like a gentle breeze blowing on your face.

“As a scholar, I respect all possibilities.”

“Make bold assumptions and verify them carefully. This is the attitude of researchers.”

The doctor admitted frankly, "This is a necessary caution. After all, your ability is too incredible. Scholars who study Kanreya machinery will not put themselves in front of an out-of-control killing machine."

Yes! So in order to obtain the data of the Kanreya machine, you asked others to sacrifice for you. Jiang Yi thought of the record in the Atuo River Valley again.

"The God of Man..."

"You seem to know a lot of things. Even when you are weak, you can appear in some places at the right time, such as... Young Master Bai Wu Jin Ji Lu's research institute. You always have the ability to control secrets without saying them out loud, and you know a lot of information that you shouldn't know."

"You shouldn't have had the source of intelligence in your hands at that time."

Just as Jiang Yi is investigating the doctor's past, the doctor is also investigating Jiang Yi's past. Using the void to analyze Jiang Yi's personality and various aspects has become an important piece of data.

"It's like you've seen the future, and part of the world's secrets."

"We, the executive officers...are most likely not a secret to you."

"So, I am prepared for you to know everything about me and to give you the utmost attention."

"In Xumi's entire plan, I was also prepared for the possibility of being exposed."

"After all, your ability to see things will probably become more terrifying as you grow older. Immortal arts, sorcery, power, laws..."

"Your strength should have increased a lot after you became the Lord of Inazuma."

"I even imagined that you could come directly to Xumi with the power of theocracy and destroy my experiment."

"But you..."

The smile on the doctor's lips was as cold as a blade, with a hint of amusement.

"...It seems there is no chance to stop me?"

"How can a God of salvation with humanity turn a blind eye to the suffering of Xumi? How can he tolerate our research?"

Under the black bird-beak mask, the doctor's eyes seemed to see through Jiang Yi's weakness.

"What happened in the sea that was blocked by the Inazuma Sea Beast? Is this the reason why you are in this situation?"

"The figure of the 'tiger' in Omos Port is you! The star cat in the Grand Bazaar is you! The starlight that once lit up the sky... is you!"

"Purification? No! It should be the body of the Snow Mountain Demon Dragon that absorbs the Death Realm into one! You control dreams, the Death Realm, fungi, mushroom beasts... You saved the forest of Xumi and obtained the inheritance and throne of the 'Tiger'."

The Doctor was filled with an unprecedented excitement and interest, just like when he first saw Scaramucci's God-made puppet.

The human god in front of him actually transformed himself into a life form similar to a mushroom beast.
