Genshin Impact: A Mortal's Ascension to Godhood

First Constellation: Tide Breaking Star

The seesaw battle lasted for half an hour.

Xiao has already used up most of his physical strength, and the Kaien-tai combat team has also blunted their swords and used up all of their stored elemental power, but the demon god still stands there howling, only most of his "flesh" has been cut off like in a slow slicing, revealing the liquid flowing inside.

In the repeated probing attacks, the combat team also discovered that this "Alchemy God" had high attack and low defense, and its strong recovery ability would always become slow due to being hit. In other words, it would have a significant delay after being attacked. If Xiao and the combat team could not take advantage of such obvious shortcomings, they would not be worthy of being classified as combat members.

But it is not so easy to turn the enemy's disadvantages into your own advantages...

The monster seemed to be made entirely of viscous liquid, but the people fighting it found this very strange, because what they chopped and stabbed with their swords, spears, and halberds were clearly lumps of gelatinous flesh and blood, and only when the flesh and blood fell to the ground did the true appearance of liquid appear.

But the opponent's form greatly reduced the damage it received, making it impossible for everyone to kill it in a short time no matter how powerful their moves were. Even Xiao, after testing the enemy's ability to withstand damage, had to admit that he could not kill and seal it with [Jing Yao Nuo Dance]. Although this thing is a demon, it is really different from the general demon. The damage Xiao himself caused to it is almost the same as the damage caused to it by Manye. The special power of the immortal itself cannot be exerted on the "Alchemy Demon".

After realizing this, Xiao also used his own ability to use the wind element to transmit this information to the combat team. This news was indeed both frustrating and exciting. What was frustrating was that the strongest combat force here could not play its unique advantages, and what was exciting was that they had to complete this offensive operation together with the immortal.

“Ha! What else is there to think about now?” Li Tao stared at the “Alchemy Demon God” closely, clenched his teeth, and once again drew the thin water elemental power from the Eye of God, spinning the water at high speed to form his falling attack [Hard Vortex Water Blade], and fiercely stabbed at the tentacle arm of the demon god, “You bastard! Die!”

The huge tentacles turned into dozens of bamboo-thick small hands, frantically grabbing Li Tao, but they were all cut open by his hard vortex water blade. Li Tao held the water drill in his hand, and the whole person quickly moved and jumped in the attack of the demon god, performing extremely well. This was also due to Xiao attracting most of the firepower - every time the demon god wanted to use a large-scale thunder elemental force to attack everyone on the field, Xiao would briefly activate [Jing Yao Nuo Dance], causing a lot of damage to the demon god in a short period of time. Perhaps it was scared by this move, and after the demon god took several shots from Xiao, he dared not use the elemental burst skills with too long front waist, but at most used some relatively small elemental combat skills or directly attacked with the flesh.

But now, except for Xiao, who bears the name of Yaksha and still has some strength left, all the members of the Haiyuan team and the demon god are exhausted and can no longer continue. Xiao is a fairy. He can not only rely on strength and will to fight for a long time, but also endure the severe pain brought by [Jingyao Nuo Dance]. But most of the Haiyuan team are not that strong. Those who do not have the Eye of God quickly fainted after being exposed to the black fog released by the demon god. The remaining ones who stay here to fight are the awakened ones with the Eye of God in the combat group. However, even these awakened ones can only rely on Xiao's cover to support themselves, and do their best to continuously add some minor wounds to the demon god.

The demon god himself was not feeling well either. He had not fully recovered from his injuries, and now he was attacked by the Kaien Team. He had not yet completed the construction of his body, nor had he spread his fame in the world through his actions, so he had no way to obtain his own power from heaven and earth like a normal demon god. The reason why he could still fight Xiao and the remaining Kaien Team combat team was because his pain was constantly giving him strength, making his body constantly surge with strength. These powers were not omnipotent, they could only allow his torn body to continue to recover, but they could not free him from despair and pain.

Just as Li Tao continued to attack and was almost exhausted, a solemn voice seemed to ring in his ears: "No. You can't keep fighting like this."

Hearing this voice, Li Tao's first reaction was that he was hallucinating - after all, he was in battle, how could he suddenly hear such a strange voice? He shook his head subconsciously, trying to concentrate, but suddenly found that a jade shield composed of rock elemental force appeared in front of him. He turned his head blankly and looked at everyone, and found that such a shield suddenly appeared on them.

Li Tao was familiar with the origin of this shield. He certainly knew who among the characters in Liyue was the one who could give others a rock elemental shield...

“Yes, it’s the Emperor! The Emperor is watching us!!!” The Qianyan Army brothers in the battle group shouted enthusiastically, “The Emperor has appeared!”

Xiao, who was also protected by the Rock King, was finally able to temporarily stop his continuous attacks and take a break from the battle. He looked at the shield in front of him, which made him feel very reassured, and remembered the message that the King had conveyed to him before this battle.

......

"With your strength, it is not difficult to destroy the demon, but you still lack some opportunities to defeat the enemy."

"Please give instructions, Emperor."

"The newly born demon god is easily affected by human emotions. He was born from nothing with the resentful souls of the people of Liyue as his flesh and blood, and the ambition of someone as his backbone. The dark side of the world, pain, sadness, ambition, and greed all become nutrients for his growth. The more you irritate it and make it suffer, the stronger it will be. You will not be able to kill it in a short time, unless you also risk your life and integrate all the emotions you carry into the [Soothing Demon Nuo Dance]."

"I understand, Emperor..."

"No, you don't understand. When the time comes, you can ask the Kaientai to go with you. I will guide you in the battle."

"Emperor, Emperor?"

......

Time goes back to the present. With the remote assistance of the Emperor and the same "secret voice transmission", the members of the Haiyuan Team quickly understood the difficulty of the enemy.

"So, Your Majesty, what can we do now?" Qianyan Army Heishi asked carefully.

"Try to mobilize stronger emotions." The faint voice of the Emperor came from nowhere, but everyone could hear it. "Use your emotions and will to disrupt all its instincts, and it will temporarily stop acting."

“Is this… is this all right?”

"That's all. Just do your best and no one will blame you."

At this moment, the voice of the Rock King Emperor seemed extremely gentle, and even Wan Ye, a man from Inazuma, couldn't help crying. The Jade Shield that the Rock King Emperor condensed for everyone seemed to have a miraculous effect - the shield isolated the black fog outside. Under the protection of this shield, everyone was able to absorb and condense elemental power again.

Just like that, reveal the last trump card and burn yourself for the Emperor! Under the Emperor's encouragement, everyone's morale was visibly high. With all kinds of beliefs, the fighters injected their own beliefs and will into the next attack.

Xiao connected to his last seat, and the image of the Great Sage who conquered demons faintly appeared behind him; Wan Ye sensed the wind elemental power around him, preparing to use his own sword technique that he had not yet perfected, imitating his own sword from the Thunder God's [Wu Xiang Yi Dao]; the Qianyan Army also rubbed their hands, raising the rock ridges underground, and strengthening themselves with the power of the earth veins...

At this time, Li Tao was trying to integrate his memory into the next attack.

Just like when he faced the Buddha statue that came to Teyvat from his hometown, Li Tao wanted to turn his memory fragments into some flowing consciousness and inject it into the water element. Li Tao found that this was not a difficult thing to do - no matter how he used it, his memory was still very clear, and he could clearly feel that some happy, sad, bored, and leisurely emotions and memories were all injected into the quietly flowing [Water Entanglement], which made the water around him emit colorful waves, which was very gorgeous.

He raised his sword, looked up, and saw the stars above his head beyond the black fog. It was already dusk before the battle, and the sky was gradually getting darker, but he could still see the countless stars above the continent of Teyvat. He suddenly felt that these stars were not real, they were the trajectory of life and the lights that guided the direction of the people in this world. That's right, they are the "seats" of every user of the Eye of God. The power of the demons is the source of the light of these stars. When the seven gods gave their power to the world and made them the original gods, their stars had already risen to the sky and became the embellishment of the power of the gods.

But, I am not from Teyvat. I am from the outside world like the traveler. I can even say that I come from a higher dimensional world. Li Tao thought so in his heart, and the memories of the game "Genshin Impact" continued to merge into the water element flow on his sword.

I thought I had gotten used to living on the continent of Teyvat, but I kept thinking that my hometown was outside of Teyvat. I have no relatives here, and no friends from my hometown. I am alone, and only my own actions can prove my existence.

I have felt Liyue's vigilance towards me, and I have also accepted the warmth given to me by the people of Liyue. But all of these are not part of my original destiny... When I traveled here, my original destiny was broken. And when I learned from the Buddha statue that the past three-dimensional world has merged with the two-dimensional world, I realized that although I had no choice, I still chose the destiny of [becoming an adventurer].

Because I want to control my own destiny, but I can't really have unlimited freedom.

Li Tao had figured this out long ago, but he still greedily pursued the freedom he wanted, so he worked hard to become stronger. Until now, when he recalled everything in the past, he suddenly realized——

In fact, destiny cannot be controlled by ourselves.

For example, in this mission, which part could he have fully anticipated? In the end, he would have to fight the demon god. Was this also in his expectation? Of course not. Even the fate of the strong is always troubled by various factors. Even as strong as the Rock King, he has to endure a thousand years of wear and tear and take care of these cubs who are fighting against the demon god.

The only things people can change are their own character and will.

When he became more and more extreme and wanted to become stronger, the water element responded to him, turning his rage and strength into a torrent, a surging and rotating [Hard Vortex Water Blade], helping him to defeat all his enemies. But at this time, when Li Tao's heart gradually calmed down and integrated his strength, will and emotion into the next attack, the [Constellation] in the sky responded to him. His destiny star told him: You have the strength and hegemony to break through the first constellation, but you are always troubled by your fluctuating mind. You should not treat becoming stronger as a carrot hanging in front of the donkey, but recognize the power of your own will and memory.

"The power of will... and memory?" Li Tao murmured and repeated these words, and suddenly he was struck by lightning. He heard it - he heard the sound of the surging waves in his heart, which resonated with the surroundings of the isolated island.

"First Constellation... Tide Breaking Star."

This time, the [Hard Vortex Water Blade] rotating in Li Tao's hand was no longer crazy and fierce, but calm like a smooth lake surface, except that a large amount of water elemental force still maintained the appearance of a drill. However, the faint colored light attached to the sword blade and the water blade hinted at the extraordinary nature of this move.

On the battlefield, almost no one noticed Li Tao's breakthrough in mind and the birth of his constellation. He just stabbed the "Alchemy Demon" with a sword under the shield together with everyone around him.

The demon instinctively felt threatened. Originally, when the shields on everyone appeared, it had already sensed the danger - all its attacks were absorbed by the shield, and no matter whether it was a physical impact or an elemental attack, it could not break the shield at all. It was a pity that it didn't know how to speak or how to express its emotions, otherwise it would have cursed "there's a cheat".

It had already begun to think about retreating, but it couldn't leave now. It began to regret why it didn't run away at the beginning, but it was too late to regret now. In order to deal with the attacks of everyone, it had to use its full strength - on the one hand, it released a huge dark cloud that was enough to cover the entire island, and summoned thunder to indiscriminately bombard the small insects in front of it that looked fragile but painful to fight monsters (especially a smaller but more terrifying little thing), and on the other hand, it opened its body to release black mist, corroding and absorbing most of the elemental combat skills released by the Kaien Team combat team.

Boom boom boom boom! ! !

The thunder rushed down like a waterfall, hitting the people's shields. The jade shield just shook slightly, becoming thinner, but it did not break. It can only be said that the emperor's shield is really trustworthy. However, judging from the results of the attack, the attack of the crowd did not seem to have any effect... right?

No! Wan Ye's sword and Li Tao's water blade successfully cut the flesh of the demon god again. Fengyuan Wan Ye... Although his swordsmanship has not yet reached perfection, his control and use of elemental power is the strongest among the members of the combat team. Therefore, even if the first wind blade slash was blocked, the wind of the blade can still leave a field where the wind elemental power raged for a short time. And at this moment, Li Tao's sword arrived.

The [Hard Vortex Water Blade] with [Tidal Surge Star Breaker] attached to it seemed to lack some destructive power. However, hidden under the colorful light was the counterattack of the origin of all elemental forces!

That's right, Li Tao's first constellation seemed to light up the stars, but in fact it broke the restrictions of the constellation from the inside. Li Tao called it the first level of [Star Breaking Realm].

The power brought by [Star Breaking Realm] is a natural nemesis for all elemental forces - so when Li Tao broke into the wind field with a sword, the wind in the entire area stopped blowing. Then, as if the sea surface was split apart, the remaining wind elements in the field quickly blew around. Li Tao also took advantage of the wind force and stabbed the demon god's body with a sword. Then he ran and fiercely slashed the sword, leaving a huge wound about several meters long.

This was not an elemental reaction, but an elemental repulsion! The mutually repelling elements all exploded at the wound of the demon god. For a moment, the wind and water elements swam chaotically on his body, constantly causing damage to the demon god.

Xiao once again seized the opportunity to injure the enemy. He raised the spear in his hand, ready to use the [Soothing Demon Dance] to kill the demon with all his strength. However, in the surprised eyes of everyone, including himself, a bright yellow rock elemental force flowed from his spear at some point, gradually wrapping the spear body and the tip.

"It turns out that the Emperor also has a backup plan for me!" Xiao was a little surprised, but it did not stop him from putting on the Yaksha mask, calming his mind, exerting all his strength, and pointing the gun at the demon.

"This time, you can't escape."

"In the name of the Emperor...I will end your life. Jing Yao Nuo Wu!"
