Chapter 38: Reporting to Lady Furina—Part 3

"The map for Dragonspine is completely ready, with no issues."

"In that case, let's officially open Dragonspine in version 1.3."

"The reception for version 1.2 has been quite positive. Although we're still full of questions about Fischl's character design, at least this sudden addition by Kiana has turned out to be quite effective."

"Don't get too excited. Kiana handles the story without considering the future—she just goes with the flow. There's no guarantee she won't for...

Chapter 37: The Power of Wishes

Listening to the Supreme Bishop's words, Kokomi fell into deep thought.

As the Divine Priestess of Watatsumi Island, she was well aware of how powerful the wishes of the people could be.

During the Archon War, mortals were able to participate in the battles between gods precisely because the gods' methods of ruling over mortals were tied to their divine authority and power.

Through proper governance, gods could gather the wishes of the people they ruled and use them as their...

Chapter 36: Vision

Inazuma, Watatsumi Island, Sangonomiya Shrine.

Sensing Kokomi's arrival, Ye stopped lurking, and Bao'er also disappeared. After all, Fischl's current popularity was still within expectations.

What? You're asking why Ganyu is the one Ye admires the most?

Are you serious with that question?

After living as the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine for five hundred years, Ye finally understood one thing: what erosion truly is.

It's a mental illness!

Just imagine—workin...

Chapter 35: The One Admired by the Supreme Bishop

"Is Fischl really just a chuunibyou?"

After the conclusion of the "Unreconciled Stars" event in version 1.2, this topic skyrocketed to the top of the trending list.

Countless people joined the discussion.

"She definitely is! Isn't it clearly written in her character story?"

"If that's the case, then what was the point of that animated short?"

"What do you mean? It was just Fischl seizing the opportunity to show off, right?"

"No way. Do you ...

Chapter 34: The Great Illusionary Dream, the Myriad Forms, the Madness, and the Eye of Judgment

"With a single rope, one can climb a cliff."
"With a wooden boat, one can drift into the sea."
"Before the age of forty, I had already traversed all the hidden realms."
"Only the Peak of Vindagnyr brought an end to my adventures."
"Or perhaps, it ended more than just that."

Chapter 33: The Prinzessin der Verurteilung

In the second half of Version 1.2, the new storyline began.

As soon as Axue logged in, she headed straight for the new quest, temporarily setting aside the new banner and character story quests.

In the past, Axue rarely paid attention to game storylines. As long as the gameplay was good, the story didn't matter much to her.

But Genshin Impact taught her that the story is the soul of a game. Without a compelling narrative, even the most fun game can't truly touch the heart. View Post

Chapter 32: Fischl

"Oz, my loyal familiar."
"What is it, my lady?"

Fischl sighed wistfully. "Last night, I dreamt of my homeland, conversing joyfully with my past self in the Immernachtreich. Now that I have awakened, I feel an inexplicable melancholy."

"Did my lady have a pleasant dream?" the obsidian raven replied warmly.

"That was no mere dream, but a rendezvous with my own essence. Truly, my past incarnation lives up to the honor of the Prinzessin der Verurteilung."

Chapter 30: Subsidiary

"Is this really a character we created? The sense of oppression is overwhelming—even stronger than Fu Xuan's. You can feel it even through the screen."

As the CEO of miHoYo, Qingque was also shocked after watching this animated short.

She had a strong feeling that if she worked under this man, she wouldn't dare to slack off—the oppressive aura of this game character was just that terrifying.

Thankfully, he was just a game character and didn't exist in real life.

Fanseti spoke softly as she looked at the man who had appeared.

"Mr. Dottore, leaving aside whether the two of you Harbingers are even capable of killing me, even if you could, the idea that the Supreme Bishop would feel distressed over it is impossible—would you feel distressed if one or two of your 'slices' were destroyed?"

Hearing the words from the other end, Zhongli's expression remained unchanged. He simply lowered his head to look at the communicator in his hand and calmly asked, "If that's the case, why didn't you prevent this from happening from the very beginning?"

"Why should I prevent it? Having you feel guilty toward Astrea benefits what I want to achieve—that's my judgment. Isn't that correct?"

Faced with such blunt words, Zhongli was momentarily at a loss for how to respond...

Chapter 27: May the Anemo Archon Deceive You

As the animated short ended, Axue's eyes turned red.

This kind of girl could only exist in anime.

"Damn it! I can't take this anymore!"

Axue didn't continue with the story. Instead, she opened the Wish interface, went straight to the standard banner, and started swiping her card, one 648 after another, until her fingers hurt.

But it didn't matter.

Time to pull!

Today, she wouldn't stop until Astrea was maxed out with constellations and her signature weapon....

In the animated short, Childe realized that Rex Lapis wasn't dead and used the power of a forged Sigil of Permission to temporarily break the seal on the ancient god Osial, the Overlord of the Vortex.

Watching the technical prowess miHoYo displayed in this short, Big Horse couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief.

After reaching a certain level of understanding with Ningguang, Lumine followed the clues she received and headed to the Fatui's secret base. There, she discovered that the Fatui were researching the Sigil of Permission, which made her even more wary of Childe.

Later, she reunited with Zhongli to make the final preparations for the Rite of Parting.

Then, as she watched Ganyu mourn the death of Rex Lapis in front of Zhongli, A-Xue's livestream chat exploded with comments:

The release of the Liyue region brought a huge surprise to all players.

It could even be described as a shock.

In China, Genshin Impact's popularity reached its peak, while overseas, players' enthusiasm was even higher than in its home country.

This brought Genshin Impact massive popularity, massive buzz, and a massive influx of new players.

Of course, it also brought in massive revenue.

Upon returning to Mondstadt, Lumine was pleasantly surprised to see Astrea standing in the streets.

Of course, it was Paimon who spoke first.

Astrea's eyes lit up when she saw Lumine and Paimon.

Ye sighed as he dressed, while Sangonomiya Kokomi remained fully clothed—though her garments had shifted slightly during their encounter. After Ye rose from her, her attire naturally fell back into place.

One had to admit: Kokomi's outfit was convenient.

No wonder she frequently appeared in his dreams. Her design practically dared men to challenge their restraint.

Chapter 19: Are You a Genius?

"Lady Furina, are you worried about Ye?"

Neuvillette, working in the Palais Mermonia, glanced at Furina, who had been lost in thought on the sofa for a while, and spoke calmly.

Furina snapped out of her daze and huffed, "Isn't it natural to be worried? With Ye's personality, who would believe he wouldn't provoke the Raiden Shogun?"

"Ye always has his reasons for what he does, and he rarely acts without certainty. I imagine he has his own thoughts about the Raiden Shogun." View Post

Chapter 18: Sangonomiya Kokomi

When Sangonomiya Kokomi was alone, she let out a tired sigh.

Since the Vision Hunt Decree was enacted, one by one, Vision holders were hunted down by the Shogunate, stripped of their ambitions. The people's anger turned into cries of protest, and Kokomi led them in raising the banner of rebellion.

Thus began the war between the resistance and the Shogunate.

As the leader of the resistance, Kokomi fought against the Shogun's tyranny, but… to be honest, she couldn't see a fu...

Using the Teleport Waypoint, Ye arrived in Liyue in an instant.

Unlike the convenience of the game, where one could open the map and teleport anywhere, here, he needed to be near a Teleport Waypoint to travel to another recorded location. In short, teleportation required proximity to an activated Waypoint. This aligned with Genshin Impact's lore.

Though trivial, it saved time—time Ye intended to spend on a meal.
