On Mount Aozang.
“With the precedents of the Grass God and the Wind God, I thought the Archon would at least be punished by Heavenly Principles, but I didn’t expect Him to be so reasonable.” The True Monarch of Moon Slicing and Sun Forging looked up at the black giant curtain in the sky and said.
“Hehe, the eternal throne in the high heavens is not as domineering and unreasonable as you imagine.”
Zhongli chuckled softly: “On the continent of Teyvat, a considerable portion of the population is dissatisfied with Heavenly Principles’ rule, but in reality, Heavenly Principles not only speaks reason, He is also constantly guarding this continent of Teyvat.”
“It’s just a stereotype.”
Ping Laolao said: “After all, during the Archon War, only one victor could exist in each region, there was no possibility of negotiation or surrender. Either you achieve victory or you perish. Even the best outcome would be to flee Teyvat like a defeated dog, with no room for discussion.”
This is also the reason why the Archon War was so cruel.
“Only in this way can the continent of Teyvat maintain stability.” Zhongli waved his hand: “If a country has two Archons from different camps, even if the other Archon promised not to leave their territorial range, as the victor of a region, you cannot rest assured.”
“That’s why I said it’s a stereotype.” Ping Laolao chuckled.
“Hmm…” Xianyun pondered: “Over the past few thousand years, I haven’t learned much about Heavenly Principles, but I’ve gained a preliminary understanding of Him today.”
“It’s the same principle as how humans have limited knowledge of gods.” Xiao said.
…
Meanwhile.
Sky Island.
After handling the human governance issues in Liyue, Lin Mo did not receive any system rewards.
This was expected.
After all, Liyue was just a matter of human governance, a simple matter of straightening things out, it wasn’t even a trial.
Moreover, he didn’t punish Zhongli.
“Replacing three Archons in a single day, the last time this happened was five hundred years ago.” The Great Tree King suddenly sighed.
“After the Archon War ended and the seven Archons’ positions were established, I no longer inquired about the seven Archons or the world, so they gradually went off the rails.”
Lin Mo said solemnly: “Therefore, my duty upon awakening this time is to rectify the seven Archons. Otherwise, given enough time, I fear that none of the seven Archons would take Sky Island seriously.”
It’s like a company with seven departments.
The boss at the top doesn’t come down for a long time, and the heads of each department gradually start going off the rails as time passes.
Some mess around in their departments, while others don’t even come to work.
Even worse, some even prepare to rebel.
The Great Tree King smiled noncommittally. It was predictable.
…
Chat Room.
Yae Miko and Lumine the Traveler were still blaming each other for giving away the Electro Gnosis.
But those who were observant could see that they were just joking and bickering.
If giving away the Gnosis was grounds for punishment by Heavenly Principles.
Then Zhongli wouldn’t have been able to escape unscathed.
Even if he had a suitable excuse.
Moments later, the giant screen lit up again.
Everyone knew that Heavenly Principles was going to rectify or judge the next Archon.
Raiden Shogun had already prepared herself mentally.
Fuhina was also becoming nervous.
After all, she was once a Hydro Archon, albeit a proxy.
Murata, the Pyro Archon, was still battling the captain in the Sacred Fire Arena, too busy to watch the giant screen.
As for Tsaritsa, she was sitting on her throne in the Tsaritsa Palace.
She seemed to be waiting.
Waiting for the only good news she could call good news.
If the captain couldn’t retrieve the Pyro Gnosis before Heavenly Principles’ reckoning arrived.
Then all her years of planning and scheming would be in vain.
Then, under the watchful eyes of countless people on the continent of Teyvat, and the anticipation of many onlookers, Lin Mo’s voice, low and containing a sharp aura, once again resonated: “The issue of Morax has been resolved, next is the next Archon…”
“Raiden Shogun, the Electro Archon of Inazuma, Baal.”
When her name was spoken by Lin Mo.
On the top floor of Tenshukaku, Raiden Shogun’s heart skipped a beat.
“As expected, it was inevitable.” Yae Miko beside her, her expression gradually becoming serious.
Although she had been teasing and mocking Raiden Shogun.
But when Heavenly Principles’ reckoning truly arrived, Yae Miko would still worry for her old friend.
“I am here, Lin Mo-sama.”
Raiden Shogun raised her beautiful eyes slightly, looking at Lin Mo on the giant screen.
She put her hand over her chest and said respectfully.
“Baal, do you know your own transgressions?” Lin Mo asked.
Just like with Zhongli, Lin Mo didn’t immediately list Raiden Shogun’s problems and reprimand her.
Instead, he first asked her if she knew what she did wrong.
Kamisato Ayato: “With Heavenly Principles’ words, we can basically rest assured. The Shogun’s problem is not serious.”
Kamisato Ayaka: “How can you say that, brother?”
Kamisato Ayato: “It’s simple. Compare the gods who were rectified before. We can basically guess. Like the Lesser Lord Kusanali, Heavenly Principles directly played a video showing what she did wrong.”
Kamisato Ayato: “And with the Anemo Archon, Barbatos, Heavenly Principles also immediately reprimanded him. When it came to the Geo Archon, it was a similar opening to the Shogun’s.
Lumine the Traveler: “Even if Ei has some issues, they definitely won’t be serious. After all, she’s been locking herself in the Plane of Euthymia for five hundred years.”
Kujou Sara: “?”
Kujou Sara: “Then who was in Tenshukaku all this time?”
Paimon: “Of course it was the puppet Shogun made by Ei.”
Kujou Sara: “???”
Kamisato Ayato: “I think we don’t need to worry about it. After all, for all of us citizens of Inazuma, the Shogun is the Shogun.”
Yae Miko: “Don’t be so surprised, there are still many things you don’t know.”
After finishing in the chat room.
Yae Miko withdrew her attention.
Raiden Shogun pondered for a moment before saying, “I know, it’s about my tacit approval of the Sakoku Decree and the Vision Hunt Decree.”
She had inherited the position of Raiden Shogun from her sister, Ei, five hundred years ago.
And during those five hundred years, she had mostly been locking herself in the Plane of Euthymia.
So, since Heavenly Principles was reprimanding her.
The only problem Raiden Shogun could think of was the Sakoku Decree and the Vision Hunt Decree.
