The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

The woman waved her hand impatiently. "Tsk, the Geo Archon from Liyue is visiting. I remember the intelligence report said he'd lost his memory, so why is he running around like this? What is Tartaglia doing...?"

"Uh..." The person in charge of the investigation was a little confused.

"Hmph, don't worry about those things. If she were at her peak, I might be a little wary of a mere Rock God, but having lost her memory, she's probably greatly weakened. If she tries to stop my plans, I don't mind taking action and teaching her a small lesson!"

The man who was to carry out the decree wiped the sweat from his brow. He thought that this lady of the Fools might be going a bit too far.

That is a god. Even if he has lost many memories, he is still a god. How could a mere mortal possibly be able to match him?

But he wisely kept quiet, because this man seemed to have a bad temper. Several times, people sent over had been burned to ashes by this man for saying the wrong thing, and he didn't want to repeat the same mistake.

Hopefully, this lady truly possesses the abilities she claims to have...

162 Shadow: How could the Rock God be a little girl!

"Gentlemen, our castle tower is just ahead. The general resides there."

Inside Inazuma Castle, Yae no Miko led everyone to the front of the castle tower.

“Tenshukaku…” Xin Hai, who was following behind, had a complicated expression. She had never thought that she would be able to come here. Although she had been here before the rebellion, she had not set foot in Inazuma Castle since she decided to defy the Eye Hunting Order.

"Are you worried that the general will be unhappy with you? It's alright, don't be afraid. Even if the general doesn't agree with my advice, I will still protect your safety."

Bai Zhi turned around and said to Xin Hai with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xin Hai shook her head and smiled again. "No, I believe that the Emperor can protect my safety, and I am not afraid of the General. As a subject of Inazuma, although I am not the General's priestess, I still acknowledge the many things the General has done for Inazuma's safety."

"If it weren't for the General, Inazuma would probably be a place filled with terrible beasts and monsters, and there would be no place for us to survive."

“Previously, we did not have the opportunity to tell the general about our situation in person. But now, with the Emperor’s help, I am able to tell the general what we mortals think and feel. That is already a great improvement. No matter what the outcome, the people of Haiqi Island will thank you, Your Majesty.”

"Alright, alright, Miss Deep Sea Fish, let's not go on with any long thank-you speeches in front of the castle tower. Instead, let's save our words for later when we go and argue with the general about the definition of eternity. Hmm... Of course, the general might be very unhappy and consider you an eternal being that needs to be eliminated, and then he might just chop you up with one stroke."

Yae no Miko narrowed her eyes, her voice tinged with a hint of mockery.

She was annoyed that Yae no Miko had interrupted her, but she quickly calmed down. This vixen loved to do these things, and she had seen it all along the way.

However, what the other party said is also true. I might really have to debate with the general at that time. If I don't prepare various plans in my mind, it will be troublesome if I really encounter it.

To question the general to his face without offering a truly convincing reason would likely result in a similar outcome to losing a duel before the emperor.

Inside the castle tower, General Raiden, who was sitting quietly in a high position, slowly opened his eyes.

Through the lightning element permeating the area, she could sense that a familiar person had arrived.

That was the aura of Yae no Miko, and beside her, there were the auras of several other people.

"Hmph... Yae no Miko, what is the purpose of your coming here? I hope you will not interfere with my eternity, otherwise even if you are her familiar, you will not escape being slashed by me!"

The general's eyes were filled with the divine light of thunder. She naturally understood the significance of the Yae no Miko to the Shadow. She also knew that this familiar of the Thunder God seemed to have some reservations about this path of practicing eternity, so she had never visited the castle tower, but stayed in the Narukami Shrine.

But today, the other party brought a group of people with them, which made her somewhat wary. She had a premonition that these people might hinder her eternity.

"Oh dear, General, you seem very unwelcoming to my arrival. We're old friends, yet no one has come to greet me."

The gates of the castle tower were pushed open, and the priestess looked at the general, who was sitting upright, with a teasing tone.

"Divine Child, why have you come here? Do you wish to persuade me?"

The general's tone was rather serious in the first half of the sentence, but suddenly became gentle in the second half.

"How could I dare to advise my dear Ying? But speaking of advice, do you know that everything you've done is wrong? Oh dear, it seems our Ying isn't completely ignorant of the outside world after all~"

Yae no Miko covered her face and laughed.

"Hmph, stop with the glib talk. I know what's going on outside, but in order to maintain eternity, some basic sacrifices are absolutely necessary. You have to pay a price for what you want to gain, and the same goes for equivalent exchanges."

"As for the person next to you, are you trying to bring some people to persuade me? It won't work on me. In the face of irreversible time, only eternity can preserve all that is beautiful."

"Only when everything is eternal can her traces be preserved, Divine Child, do not presume to persuade me..."

As General Thunder spoke, the lightning flashing in his eyes became increasingly evident.

"Oh dear, Ying, you're really being extreme. I never said I was going to advise you."

"Since you don't want to persuade me, then go back and guard Narukami Shrine."

"Ying, why are you becoming more and more impatient? This time it's not me trying to persuade you, but that doesn't mean others don't have their own ideas."

"I've already said it." General Raiden said each word clearly, and a thunderclap immediately echoed outside the castle tower. "You don't need to try to persuade me by using the people; it's useless. I will not abandon the entire Eternity of Inazuma out of a little pity!"

Yae no Miko immediately wore a smug expression. "Who said she was just a commoner? Kage, after all these years, you're still the same. You're so stupid. Didn't you notice her appearance? Do you think she's an ordinary person?"

"Her?" Following Yae no Miko's gesture, General Raiden shifted his gaze to Bai Zhi.

"Dragon horns... and this clothing so distinctly Liyue... could it be that you are a celestial being from Liyue?"

Ying paused for a moment, then offered his own guess.

"Even immortals won't do. Do you really think that a mere immortal can sway my thoughts?"

The divine child sighed helplessly, "So many years have passed, my dear Shadow, don't you even recognize the Rock King Emperor?"

"What?" General Thunder was stunned, then said suspiciously, "Divine Child, you've been deceived. How could this possibly be the Rock King Emperor? Although I was only at the bottom of the divine ranks back then, I still remember that the Rock God was a majestic man. How could it be...?"

"Divine Child, have you been reading too many light novels? Do you think everything can be anthropomorphized into a girl?"

"That's really... undeniable. But, Shadow, you seem to know so much about the content and tropes of light novels. Do you read them often?"

The god gave a wicked smile.

"Hmph... I was just gathering information about the outside world, it has nothing to do with liking it. I don't want to pursue your crime of coming here to do these things, go back."

"Well, although some of your actions have been unexpected, I'm not going back this time. And I have something to tell you: this is indeed the Rock King Emperor. She came here to discuss some things with you."

163 I can revive Raiden Shin

"You...Emperor?"

“That’s right, she is the Emperor. Although she lost her memory due to her transformation and became like this,” the Divine Child said.

Ying was stunned and looked at Bai Zhi. She hadn't looked closely before, but now it seemed that Bai Zhi was indeed very strange. At least the strange solidity emanating from her body gave people a sense of protection and reassurance.

And those dragon horns and Liyue-style clothing...

The divine child is not the type to joke about this, so could this really be true?

Ying stood there, stunned, her thoughts clashing fiercely.

If you had to describe Ying's current state with an emoji, it would be: Brain, Universe.jpg

"No, no, no, that's not right. I would believe you if you said she was the daughter of the Rock God."

After a long while, Ying finally responded somewhat blankly. She really couldn't connect the dignified man in her memory with the soft and cute person in front of her. She even had a strange feeling that she might be in a light novel world.

Compared to this cute and cuddly Geo Archon, the black-haired man next to him seems more like the Geo Archon.

"Hehe, never mind, it's not important, but one thing is for sure, the Emperor wants to talk to you. Ying, would you like to have a chat?"

Yae no Miko was not disappointed, because it was indeed hard to imagine. If she hadn't repeatedly verified it with the official staff of Liyue, she wouldn't have believed it either.

Furthermore, she wasn't afraid of any actions that could cause problems even for the official staff of Liyue. After all, the Shadow was a god, and if the god discovered that she had been deceived, then the liar, if he didn't possess god-like power, would be doomed.

Ying hesitated for a moment, but still nodded. At least now she could be sure that the one in front of her who called himself the Emperor, even if he was not the God of Rock, was an extraordinary being. At least the aura of protection he exuded was not something that ordinary people could possess.

Shadow closed his eyes slightly, then slowly opened them and looked at Bai Zhi. "Hello, Morax, the God of Rock. What brings you here?"

"It doesn't have to be that formal. It's just that Liyue is currently developing many things, and people need more knowledge to serve themselves. I've heard that Inazuma's puppetry technology is very powerful, so I wanted to come and learn from it so that I could go back and teach it to the people."

"And me, my name is Hu Tao, the head of the Rebirth Hall, in the funeral industry. I'm hoping to open a branch in Inazuma, and I came along with the Emperor. I hope the General can do me a favor~"

"what?"

Ying looked at Bai Zhi and Hu Tao with some confusion. Puppet technology and opening a branch of the Hall of Rebirth?

What's going on here? Her puppetry skills are fine; they're among the best in Teyvat. It's not surprising that the Geo Archon wants to learn from her. But opening a funeral parlor will definitely be a hassle for her.

"Master Hu, if you want to open a branch of the Hall of Rebirth, you can go to the Society's magistrate. As for the puppet technology you mentioned, Morax... the puppet technology I use is extremely complex and far beyond what ordinary people can use."

"Unless a very large-scale simplification is carried out, ordinary people simply cannot afford the cost of building a puppet. And the simplification technology... I don't have it. That would require me to conduct very detailed research. So, I suggest you go to the Water Kingdom of Fontaine. The puppet technology there is more suitable."

"I see... Well then, would you be willing to come with me to Liyue to study the simplification of puppet technology and benefit the people? At that time, both the people of Liyue and the people of Inazuma will be able to enjoy the benefits of this technology."

"Ok??"

Ying looked at Bai Zhi with some surprise. She never thought that Bai Zhi would say such a thing, inviting gods from other countries to her country and even asking them to be in charge of technology development.

She is a deity, not some farmhand.

"Morax, I cannot accept this request. I am the god of Inazuma and cannot leave here without a reason. Although I do not know what you are thinking after losing your memory, this is undoubtedly very inappropriate and disrespectful to me."

Ying frowned. If it were a minor matter, she naturally wouldn't mind, considering it a courtesy to this most ancient being. But she couldn't accept the invitation to work for someone else.

“I know what you’re worried about. Are you thinking that it would be great if someone could help you protect Inazuma, and that person would be someone who has passed away, and who is also the reason you are pursuing eternity?”

Upon hearing this, Ying's expression changed, and she looked at Yae no Kami.

"Oh dear, I didn't say anything specific. It's just that the Emperor is indeed exceptionally wise, so he guessed some things." The Eighth Divine Child raised his hands and said with a smile.

"...Fine, as one of the Seven Rulers of the Mortal Realm, I have nothing to hide. Morax, since you have lost your memory, it's normal that you can't remember how my sister and I drank with the gods at the banquet, or how my sister died in that war."

"My sister, Raiden Shin, is my twin demon god. She governs and I fight. We cooperated seamlessly to bring happiness to the people of Inazuma. But after that great war, my sister passed away, and many others left me. Now, only I can protect Inazuma!"

The sea of ​​thoughts below gaped open, wondering if they had heard something incredible.

There were originally two generals. No wonder, according to records, the general from hundreds of years ago and the general now have very different styles.

"Then, if I can bring Zhen back and have her guard Inazuma, General, would you be willing to come with me to Liyue to develop the puppet technology?"

Bai Zhi smiled; she had been waiting for those words.

"what?!"

These two words were not only uttered by Ying, but also by the others present, who all looked at Bai Zhi with surprise.

"Your Majesty, do you know what you're saying?" Zhongli lowered his voice.

"Of course I know. That's what it means to resurrect a dead demon god. Mr. Zhongli, do you remember when I asked you if you had a loved one, even someone who had died? I could find them for you. But unfortunately, it seems that Mr. Zhongli didn't have such thoughts."

"However, it seems that the general has such an obsession, and I happen to have a little ability to bring the deceased back to the world and slightly reverse life and death."

"I just wonder, if I were to revive Raiden and take over Inazuma, would the General be willing to come to Liyue to develop the relevant technologies?"

164 The world allows consciousness to match new containers.

"Morax, do you even know what you're saying? Resurrecting a fallen demon god? That's impossible!!"

After standing there stunned for several seconds, Ying said very seriously, "I don't like making jokes like that."

Zhongli nodded. It's not impossible for a demon god to be resurrected, but that requires various measures and conditions. For example, the demon god itself must not be completely dead. But for someone like Raiden Shin, resurrection is impossible unless time is reversed.

Bai Zhi shrugged. "I'm not joking, and no one would find such a joke funny, right? I'm serious. I can indeed revive Raiden Shin, but the prerequisite is... you need to create a body for Raiden Shin, a body that is strong enough."

"I can only revive her consciousness, but we need to figure out a way to create a body that carries the true consciousness of lightning."

"Of course, you can use a stone statue, or other very simple materials, but the Raiden Shin resurrected that way might be limited by the material's inherent strength, only slightly stronger than an ordinary person. General, you should think it over carefully."

Rat Talisman LV2: Transforms stillness into movement, granting life to inanimate objects. The resurrected units are limited by the materials of the inanimate object and its original strength; the maximum number of resurrected units cannot exceed the level of a Commander.

This is why Bai Zhi said those words. Moreover, according to the understanding in the original work, the material of the body does indeed greatly limit the strength of the resurrected being. If the material itself has great power, then it is not difficult to match or exceed the original strength.

“We all know that once a person’s soul is scattered, they can never be brought back to life. The world allows consciousness to be matched with a new container, but it does not allow the container to collect the dissipated consciousness. And I happen to be able to collect the dissipated consciousness and put it into a new container.”

"To save the deceased, you don't necessarily need to go back to the past and create new possibilities. You only need to create a new body, and leave the rest to me."

Ying fell silent; she wanted to say "absurd."

But she didn't say it aloud, because a voice inside her kept telling her, what if? What if what the other person said was true?

If there is a way to collect Raiden Shinna's dissipated consciousness, then resurrection would be a natural consequence. For a demon god, the physical body is not the most important thing; consciousness and soul are the true center.

Hu Tao also looked at Bai Zhi with some concern.

If it were truly possible to gather scattered consciousness and revive people...
