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

"The village guard..."

"Most of them are scholars who became insane after training in Daocheng Forest."

"The Order of the Lords believed that their crazy words might have an impact on the minds of other scholars, so they ordered the Disciplinary Officer to exile them to the village of Aru in the desert... This practice has been going on for a long time."

"Based on Hypatia's situation, other scholars are afraid of her. This may also be related to the concept promoted by the Faith Council, but I think... this is more like a lie from the Faith Council."

"According to Seno, the term 'village guardian' used by the mad scholar came from an accident in the past."

“There was a very severe earthquake.”

"The houses were shaking like duckweed on the water. The former head of Aru Village was about to lead everyone to flee, but he saw a mad scholar squatting in a corner, touching the ground with his hands. A faint green light emanated from his body, which looked particularly sacred at night."

"The houses that were about to collapse and bury everyone were like trees taking root, standing firm and unmoving. During the entire night of frequent earthquakes, no one was injured or killed."

“From then on, the villagers of Aru Village, who had originally rejected these crazy scholars, affectionately called them “village guardians.”

"This is Nashida's power!"

On Jiang Yi's back, Nashida just smiled and said nothing.

"When the mad scholars first arrived at Aru Village, they were just as crazy and talking nonsense as before. But as long as they stay here for a while, they will calm down. This magical phenomenon is probably also the credit of Nashida. You have been comforting these mad scholars, right?"

"I made this guess, and Seno was surprised! He, like the rest of Xumi, completely ignored the current Grass God, Little Auspicious Grass King, under the guidance of the Order Institute."

"He discerned that this was not a lie of mine. The 'non-existent God' in his impression was actually always with his people."

"I didn't tell him in detail. You guys are still in touch with me in Zen Garden."

……

"A child from Aru Village was eavesdropping. He wanted us to help find his 'grandfather'. The 'grandfather' he was talking about was a mad scholar. After we asked other villagers, we learned that the mad scholar looked very similar to his deceased grandfather, and that the mad scholar was the 'village guardian' who once protected Aru Village."

"The child's parents were members of the Gilded Brigade. He was raised by his grandfather. After his grandfather passed away, he almost became an orphan at a very young age. He was taken care of by everyone in Aru Village. Later, a crazy scholar who looked like his grandfather came. He went from being afraid to one day... becoming friends and relatives with that grandfather..."

"This is Nashida too!"

"On that day, Nashida, you took over the mad scholar's consciousness, comforted the child, taught him to identify the stars in the sky, and accompanied him until he fell asleep. So, on the second day, the grandfather did not recognize the child from Aru Village, but he no longer spoke nonsense, but was calm as a sleepwalker."

"'The people do have a good god!'"

"I also agree with what Seno said!"

"That's all for today's report. Tomorrow, Senor and I will go look for the missing mad scholar."

Jiang Yi closed the jade slip.

He turned around and met Nashida's eyes.

"Are you still blaming yourself?"

This statement seems to come out of nowhere.

"Because... I'm not as good as they say!" Nashida lowered her eyes and the wings of the dusk bird were listless.

"Sumeru is a vast country. Suffering and disaster are watching everyone. The entire Teyvat, the entire world, and even every world is like this." Jiang Yi whispered in a complicated voice.

“Human power is limited. Even gods don’t have the power and energy to save everyone. All we can do is protect the lives we care about and eliminate disasters for them.”

"The Dead Zone, the Fatui, monsters, diseases... There are too many things that threaten the lives of living beings, and too many people are suffering at the same time, all over the earth."

"We can't make everyone live forever and be safe and sound."

Nashida said softly: "I understand! The ability of living beings to save themselves when facing disasters is the wisdom that our gods should guide. Making the whole world kind and intelligent is the responsibility of God's love for the world."

“It’s just a little bit unwilling.”

"I cannot cure the scholar of his madness."

"I also did not foresee the plans of the House of the Decrees and the Fatui."

"The Void Host will no longer interact with the 'Mad Scholar', but they are still wearing Void Terminals that facilitate monitoring by the Order."

"I can't stop the actions of the Order of the Lords. All I can do is try to protect the lives of the 'mad scholars'."

Jiang Yi nodded: "Ying and Paimeng will rescue them."

"but me……"

His deep blue cat eyes turned into tiger eyes, turned into the moon reflected in the forest water, and turned into the moonlight in the sky.

Outside the Zen Garden.

Several teams of gilded brigades sent by the Order to monitor the God of Man were lost in the rainforest, and the mushroom beasts and beast hounds cast cold glances at them in the dark.

Further away, are the Fatui who are also trapped in the endless forest maze.

Further away, outside Xumi City, a huge maze cage surrounds the entire city. The forest has turned into an endless hunting ground. The dream of the forest king has spread to every inch of Xumi along with the waves of the forest.

Kawanyi, the rain forest that touches the desert.

The team transporting the gods' canned knowledge walked with difficulty, the streams and tree root fences in the forest changed endlessly, and the hallucinogenic mushroom poisonous clouds formed a nightmare at night.

The Gilded Brigade that wanted to send a message to Kawanyi also got lost in the forest.

The Ministry of Education received news from all over the place through the void. The roads that were previously smooth had now all turned into impassable mazes.

Holding swords, burning wood with fire, chopping grass with thunder... the violence brought hunting by mushroom beasts and dark beasts.

Everyone feels like they are trapped in a small world.

Even if it had wings, the hazy and dreamy moonlight and the scorching and changing sunlight would turn into endless mirages that would block the bird's flight.

The wind, rain and thunder sounded like the roar of a tiger.

The roots of the tree have no beginning and no end, blocking the transmission of the earth veins.

When Jiang Yi stood on the earth and hid in the forest, all his strength had been connected with the earth and the forest, transforming himself into a force to block the flow of conspiracy and crime.

He is a colorful spirit tiger, a divine beast that saves people, Luwu who is in charge of the Imperial Garden, a mortal immortal who uses the earth as his dojo... and also a god on earth.

In today's Sumeru, under the gods, those who do not have the protection of the forest will lose their way.

Xumi City, Port of Omos, this is a place beyond the power of the forest king and also a prison for sinners.

Only... those who have reached the level of god-like fighting power can violently enter and exit the forest maze.

The doctor stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Lin Hai.

The girl looked at the changing plants and trees before her.

The strongest forest king in the world makes His presence known silently.

In the ocean outside of Sumeru, sea beasts roam.

The ships of the fools on the voyage struggled forward amidst the wind, waves and shadow of the sea.

"When I am a chess piece, I am the chessboard of the world... the vertical and horizontal grid, the longitude and latitude of the planet... You can only follow the rules of the chess pieces, move forward, backward, and horizontally..."

"Let's play a game. Can you guys leave the chessboard..."

In a network, a new belief in the God of Games turned into the rules of the game that Jiang Yi integrated into himself. So, he used the power of the Forest King to formulate the rules of the maze.

This moment is when Jiang Yi is at his weakest, powerless as to not even be able to tie a chicken, but also when he is at his strongest, because he is like a maze.

The Great Sage was looking at the forest from the House of the Decrees.

The forest before me seemed particularly strange and profound.

God's canned knowledge...seems...to be unable to arrive.

"Convene a meeting..." The great sage gave the order indifferently. The stakes had been set, so it would be difficult to be indecisive like a fence-sitter.

He didn't believe there was no way out of the maze.

Take the Fatui's portal for example. Is it really impossible to open a road to the distance when it is blocked by the power of the forest?

The ancient treasures collected by the Ministry of Education and the modern technologies developed by it are not just toys to be studied and appreciated.

The huge net can cover the entire Sumeru, but the bigger the net is, the more dispersed the power is, and sharp objects can cut a gap in it.

The world is quiet and peaceful, and all the plants and trees are me.

In Xumi, Jiang Yi’s dream and the dream of plants and trees are connected to each other. Just as the wind brings stories to the wind god, the plants and trees in the forest can also bring stories to the forest king.

Where there were only human towns, his dreams were left blank, as unknown places.

But he didn't need to know the great sage's plan.

The military tactics of besieging the city, cutting off food and water supplies, and cutting off the arms and legs of the great sages who were reaching out to various places to take supplies and knowledge - the "Gilded Brigade". Even if they controlled the "void" as their eyes, they were unable to move and could only be "fish to be slaughtered" waiting to be judged.

They have the opportunity to break through the forest blockade, the power to break through the forest blockade, but do they have the time? Jiang Yi will not give them this time.

And how much are the girl and the doctor willing to contribute to their colleague who has become a god?

The two wise gods have a clear insight into people's hearts and will not make any misjudgments.

The reason why the girl and the doctor stayed here was not because of the scattered soldiers, nor was it to fight for the scattered soldiers and the God of Man.

"Mr. Cat, Ms. Mechanical Bird, good night." Cole took care of Haibasha to rest, and came back to greet Jiang Yi and Nashida.

"Good night, Cole!" Jiang Yi nodded. It was getting late outside and it was time to rest.

He and Nashida spent the night directly in the Zen Garden House without having to look for any cat's nest or bird's house.

"Then... I'm leaving. If you need anything, knock on my window." Kelai scratched her head. She came here yesterday afternoon and actually invited Mr. Cat and Miss Mechanical Bird to rest in her room in Zen Garden at night. However, both Mr. Cat and Miss Mechanical Bird refused.

And Mr. Cat told her not to prepare dinner.

I took the homework away, walked on the road in the Zen Garden, and opened the book of Lanna's fairy tales tucked in the homework.

"The mysterious Mr. Cat and Miss Mechanical Bird have such a good relationship!" After reading the fairy tale, Cole couldn't help but think that the talking Mr. Cat and Miss Mechanical Bird around him were just a fairy tale.

Moreover, they only talked to her, and this special feeling gave her the excitement of being the protagonist of a fairy tale.

In this fairy tale, there is a tragic love or friendship between life and non-life, and there may be some unknown enemies, such as the terrifying eagle that appears at night and attacks the dusk bird, the terrible scholar who wants to destroy the mechanical bird, and the evil magician who wants to capture the cat...

When I think about it, I'm so excited that I can't sleep the whole night.

Mr. Cat and Miss Mechanical Bird met human friends, but they did not live in their homes because they had to save the world at night and safeguard human happiness...

I will always support Mr. Cat and Miss Mechanical Bird... Cole, who was immersed in the fairy tale of his own imagination, couldn't help but put his hands to his mouth and shouted at a tree hole.

In the tree hole, there were layers of echoes.

At the end of the story, Lanaro of the forest revealed that Mr. Cat and Ms. Mechanical Bird, who saved the world, were actually a pair of human souls. They were just cursed and trapped inside. In the end, they escaped the curse together and embraced each other happily.
