Chapter 809: Scattered Soldiers, Heart of God, Source of Chaos

Shadow Mountain, Narukami Grand Shrine.

Ying appeared from the teleportation anchor point at the end of the first torii gate on the top of the mountain.

That day, she went to take the test of Kamisato Ayaka and accompanied the swordsman who had his Eye of God taken away to this place. She subconsciously opened the teleportation anchor point here, so that she could quickly come here from the teleportation anchor point near Nashiyama Beach.

"Something's wrong!" Ying took two steps and frowned.

"There's a weird atmosphere." Paimon also felt it.

The shrine surrounded by the huge sacred cherry tree is usually very quiet, but today it was too quiet. The people praying and the priestess seemed to be gone.

General Thunder and Lightning displayed his boundless divine power. Shouldn't this be the most solemn moment, when the witch prayed?

Ying and Paimon looked at the wooden shrine with black tiles and red walls in front of them, ran on the cherry blossom corridor over the pond, quickly passed the many temples in front, and went around to the back.

Over there, the wind brought the sound of light talking.

Since there were no shrine maidens around, they did not need to follow etiquette and display the amulets representing the shrine's tokens and distinguished guests, and let the shrine maidens introduce them to the shrine's head shrine maiden, Yae Miyabi, whom they had only met once and were not familiar with.

Just break into each palace and search!

The sacred cherry tree is tall and graceful, with blue crystals on its brown trunk, like a tree-shaped fox with its arms spread out. On its branches that cover the sky, it grows purple sacred cherry trees that are "ever blooming, just like the eternity of the God of Ming."

There were thunders in the sky, the sky was gloomy, and a strong wind was blowing, causing the shimenawa ropes on the sacred cherry trees and the surrounding temples to sway continuously, the white paper was flying, and the wooden signs were colliding with each other, making noises.

Purple cherry blossom petals spread out like a carpet, fluttering in the wind.

This beautiful scenery was mixed with a solemn atmosphere, coming from the sky, from the ground... the figure standing under the sacred cherry tree.

The scattered soldiers wore black and red hats to protect themselves from the rain. Decorations like magical instruments were hung on silk threads, shining with elemental light and jingling.

Although this hat is not as luxurious as before, it has more elemental weapons.

Under his blue hair, his pure blue eyes looked at the object in his hand with a slight smile on his lips.

That was... a divine heart that glowed with purple light.

The heart of the god of thunder, one of the seven ruling gods in the world.

"Thank you very much... Lord Yaemiyaji." The soldier retreated politely.

At this moment, the footsteps suddenly stopped.

Ying and Paimeng had already rushed to the sacred cherry tree: "Eightfold Son of God..."

Their eyes turned to the woman with pink fox ears, pink knee-length hair, and a golden crown under the sacred cherry tree.

The woman was wearing a red and white shrine maiden costume, but unlike ordinary shrine maidens, she did not have a red skirt. Instead, she had several red and white skirt hems hanging down like ribbons in front, back, left and right, revealing her smooth white thighs, and she was wearing delicate wooden clogs.

The sleeves are wide and the shoulders are exposed. The earlobes are decorated with purple eyes of God, and there is a golden purple disc on the chest.

At this moment, her face, as bright as the moon, had a half-smile on it, and she looked at Ying and Paimeng who had intruded into this place with her purple eyes.

"Hey! A new guest has arrived." Yae Shinko crossed her arms and looked at the stragglers who had stopped walking. "Is he here... to find you, or to find me?"

After Ying and Paimon found the easily recognizable Yaemitsu, they looked at the handsome young man in the bamboo hat with shock and vigilance.

"The Sixth Seat of the Eleven Executors of the Fatui, Skirmisher!" Paimon's eyes widened, "And... and... the thing he is holding in his hand, could it be the Heart of the God of Thunder!"

"Why is the Thunder God's Heart here?"

"Stop!" Ying shouted subconsciously.

I met this executive again in Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma. According to Jiang Yi, he was also involved in the Evil Eye plan.

"Oh? Are you calling me?" Sanbing turned his gaze to Ying and Paimeng.

"Instead of going to admire the war between the demons in the sky, you come here to look for someone you can't mess with. That's really foolish of you!"

"Although you are well-known in many countries, how can you compare to your companion?"

"Knowing that I am the Sixth Executive Officer of the Fatui, you should understand..."

He opened his arms and the power surged, seeming to attract the lightning in the sky, making the thunderstorm in the sky more intense.

Said in a mocking tone.

"I'm not... like the two most unreliable colleagues you've ever met. They're either stupid and have only muscles, or they're gradually becoming arrogant and don't understand the situation."

The person who might have guessed his actions and could defeat him was facing one of the seven winners of the Demon War. Such a good opportunity was naturally the time to achieve his goal.

And, unsurprisingly, it was successful.

Sanbing was in a good mood. After looking at Ying and Paimeng, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up.

"You are covered in mud and water. You look really miserable. Did you just come down from the battlefield? Through that wonderful teleportation device?"

"Hmm... let me think about it."

"With your wisdom and abilities, you should not have expected that I would be here, so... you should be here to find her."

The scattered soldier stroked his chin and looked at the thunder in the sky. Among the dark clouds and purple lightning in the distant sky, there was a touch of pale and dark blue smeared into a line, blooming like a bright moon between heaven and earth.

"Why... do you think he can't defeat the God of Thunder and needs to ask the followers of the God of Thunder for help?"

Paimeng was very anxious and stamped his feet, saying, "Damn it, he guessed it."

"Hahaha! Interesting." Sanbing looked at the rather entertaining pet. "Even though you're next to a smart person, your IQ hasn't increased? Just like the last time I saw you, you're stupid but cute."

Paimon recalled the first time they met and mistook the friendly and deceptive soldier for a kind and enthusiastic person.

Angry and embarrassed: "Asshole! I'm going to give you an ugly nickname..."

"Your last hat was taken away by Jiang Yi, so I call you 'the unlucky executive who lost his hat and had to buy a new one'."

The soldier's face was slightly gloomy.

"Puchi!" A laugh came from the side, and Yae Shinko covered his mouth.

"Hehe! You guys continue!" When she saw everyone's gazes, she immediately became serious.

"I just think... this guest's level of nickname making is... like my author under Yaedo, the novel has a name that is too long to fit on the cover."

For a moment, Paimeng didn't know whether this was a compliment or an insult.

Ying stood still, with a flame and a stream of water rising beside him, transforming into two hideous Nuo masks.

The raindrops on the left are evaporating, while the raindrops on the right are becoming heavier.

"Liyue's... Yaksha?" Sanbing looked at the pair of Ying who seemed to want to draw their swords. "Did he let them protect you?"

"But...what are you angry about?"

Ying gritted her teeth and spoke, her disgust growing for the unintuitive face of the Sanbing: "You made the evil eyes...you distributed the evil eyes to the rebels...you provoked the war in Inazuma, causing countless people to be displaced."

Sanbing looked at Ying's eyes and said calmly: "You, an outsider, are more clear-headed and anxious than the people of this country."

"However, you are so hot-blooded that you are not going to save you, your companions who carry so much hope... but are you going to waste your time questioning me here?"

"And... you seem to have made a mistake."

"What are you talking about? Although I am here, I am just acting as a proxy for the plan. The mastermind must be someone else."

"Come to me and ask if you have made a mistake in your target?"

Paimon put his hands on his hips and said angrily, "What's wrong with your expression of indifference? Being an accomplice is also a crime."

"Is this the law of you humans?" Sanbing was puzzled.

"What do you mean? Aren't you a human?" Paimon looked at the scattered soldiers.

"Getting angry over such a trivial matter shows how fragile humans are!" Sanbing's eyes were cold. "By the way, can you be defined as a human being?"

Paimon suddenly stopped talking.

“You actually said this is a trivial matter…” Ying clenched her fists, and elemental power shone on her clothes.

The scattered soldiers paced back and forth, watching the heavy rain and thunder in the sky.

"Isn't it? In this floating world, human life is like a piece of grass."

"Look at this light! Look at the power of this demon."

“This world is not for the mediocre and the weak.”

"Without the evil eye, they would still die. At least, the evil eye gave them the opportunity to realize their 'wishes'. Moreover, didn't the new god who was merciful and compassionate to all things save all those who used the evil eye?"

"The life and death of a person is just a matter of God's will."

"Abandonment, redemption...why do we need the consent of the weak?"

He turned around and looked at Yae Shinko, Ying and Paimon.

"At this point, there is no need to hide it."

"Do you really understand the value of the Eye Hunting Order?"

Sanbing smiled and said, "It took a lot of effort to make this happen, of course, because it is beneficial to us."

"Now it seems that everything is worth it. Creating disputes paves the way for promoting the evil eye, allowing the power to attract the weak who seek it..."

The power in his body radiated out, resisting the murderous intentions of Yingda and Fanan.

His eyes shone with thunder, and he spoke with sighs and emotion.

"With only a small price, you can get the feeling of controlling the world. It's quite a deal to exchange your life for supreme power, isn't it?"

"Everyone is a powerful person who controls elemental forces!"

"Hahahahaha...!"

Sanbing stared at Ying fiercely, "People can become gods and turn the world upside down. This new god of Inazuma will open up new goals and new paths to pursue for ambitious people."

"The accidents you cause will make the future more interesting."

“Those who pursue power will be like the invisible stars in the sky, hidden behind the dark clouds, and only emit a pitiful brilliance when they fall.”

"He is the source of chaos! The source of chaos in all of Teyvat! The pioneer who paved the way for the Evil Eye for us."

"Bullshit!" Paimon swore for the first time in a long time and defended, "Jiang Yicai is not the source of chaos."

"Your plan will not succeed. We will announce the dangers of the evil eye to the world." Ying calmed down and said in a deep voice.

Inazuma was part of the Fatui's plan from the beginning, and implemented the Eye Hunting Order, waged war, and promoted the evil eye. Such a thing must never happen in other countries.

"But can you really extinguish people's greed?" Sanbing laughed.

"Damn it! If we can't stop those ambitious people who seek power instead of protection, then they will have to bear the consequences themselves!" Paimon stomped his feet and said, "Do you really think anyone can become a god?"

She just wanted to eat, drink and travel with her lover, so she didn't have any great ambitions.

"Hahaha! Yes, not everyone can become a god." The scattered soldier raised another question, "Then... after losing the new god, will those mortals want the evil eye and seek revenge? In the end... just like the resistance army at this moment, no matter how hard they try, it's all in vain."

"Like bubbles in water, when they are gorgeous, they will be destroyed."

Ying closed her eyes, opened them again, and said firmly: "Jiang Yi will never die! Nor will he be imprisoned under the Thousand-Handed and Hundred-Eyed Statue."

“Haha…” Sanbing shook his head, “Forget it, just work hard for it!”

He looked at Ying, Yingda and Fanan who were eyeing him covetously, and was too lazy to take action here and add variables to his plan.

He will also embark on the path to becoming a god and has no time to waste here.

So he waved his hand, turned sideways and said, "Goodbye!"

"Although it's nice to meet you, I have to leave now. Say hello to the new god of Inazuma for me!"

"Tell him for me..."

“Eternity can stretch time very long, but every node in between will become extremely fragile.”

"This Inazuma looks very solid on the outside, but the inside... is full of opportunities for us. With a little effort, we can break it from the inside and make it more divided."

Paimon was annoyed: "Stop trying to sow discord!"

"Hmm? You're not trying to sow discord, right? Maybe it's the truth." The scattered soldier walked away. "Mortals perform a farce that makes people happy. The more they lose, the more they want to gain. The more incompetent they are, the more they struggle! Gods perform a story that makes people happy. The more they gain, the more they lose. The more powerful they are, the more incompetent they are."

"Floating World Light..."

"What a ridiculous world."

His figure fell down the mountain like a bird with broken wings, and then suddenly flew up and disappeared without a trace.

Ying watched the stragglers leave and ultimately chose not to take action.

Just as San Bing said, her first goal in coming here... was to save Jiang Yi, not to deal with him.
