The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 285: No Initiative, No Rejection, No Responsibility

"I have been thinking about a question these days. Which part of the people of Coral Palace do Ying and Shen Zi want to purge? The believers who always remember to believe in the demon god Orobas? Or the conspirators who try to satisfy their selfish desires in the name of Orobas?"

In the bronze coffin, the blonde girl's eyes were bright: "Will ordinary people really still remember their gods a thousand years after their gods have died?"

Chen Tianfeng pinched his chin: "Well, this should be..."

"You and your people are special cases and cannot be used as a reference."

Ying guessed what he wanted to say and made a timely patch: "Moreover, Inazuma's situation is special. After the people of Coral Palace lost their gods, they survived for a thousand years under the protection of Ying. Mortals have a short lifespan. After generations pass, how many people will really remember and believe in Orobas?"

"So, you think there's someone behind this?"

Chen Tianfeng responded very cooperatively.

"Of course, the existence of foreign gods on Inazuma Umijima is due to the kindness of Thunder God, but as long as the rulers of Umijima are not stupid, they should understand that this kindness has its limits."

To rely on the goodwill of others for one's survival, and if this person is not someone one trusts absolutely or understands absolutely, but a stranger or an unpredictable person... then how stupid a person would be to do such a thing?

If Haige Island wants to exist and the people of Coral Palace want to survive, they should take the initiative to give up their belief in Orobas - at least their belief in the open. Little by little, they should transform themselves into the people of Ming Shen. Otherwise, why would Ming Shen protect these believers of alien gods?

Even if the gods of Teyvat have the underlying logic of "God loves the world", this "love" will not spread to every human being in Teyvat, right?

Over the course of a thousand years, it should have been a matter of course for Umijima to be integrated into Inazuma.

But now, not only did Haigi Island fail to integrate, but during the period of implementation of the Eye Hunting Order, it openly formed a resistance army and raised the banner of resistance.

If you say there is nothing fishy about this, I'm afraid even Paimon... I'm afraid even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe it.

Ying said his guess, and finally raised his eyebrows and smiled: "But whether the shogunate is nurturing the enemy or the Umijima Island is hiding rebellion, it has nothing to do with us - we are not the gods of Inazuma or Umijima, there is no reason for us to consider everything for them and plan for the future."

"So what are you going to do?"

Chen Tianfeng was curious.

Ying smiled slightly, raised her round chin slightly, and spoke clearly: "No initiative, no rejection, no responsibility."

"……what?"

What kind of typical scumbag statement is this? Chen Tianfeng was stunned.

"We will stay in the coffin and refuse to admit that we are the demon god Orobas. But if someone insists that we are Orobas, we don't have to deny it."

Ying smiled slyly, and in a trance, he even felt a bit like a little golden fox: "Similarly, when these people who call us Orobas gather and want us to lead them to counterattack Inazuma... Hehe, these people must be ambitious, and there is no psychological burden in killing them all."

Orobas is a big snake. Even if he is resurrected from the dead, he will not turn into a bronze coffin waving tentacles. But even so, there are still people who insist on treating them as Orobas and using this to cause trouble...

There is no need to guess what this group of people are thinking.

If we cut them all down and be done with it, there will be fewer hidden dangers on Kaigi Island, and Shadow will be able to take over with ease.

"Of course, we need to give them some benefits and support so that they will misunderstand and then give it away with confidence."

"……fluorescent."

"Well, I'm here, what's wrong?"

"Why are you so skilled?"

"This... well, this is a beautiful girl's secret, so don't ask too much."...

Haige Island.

Two major events happened on Haiji Island in the past two days.

The first thing was a bronze coffin with dancing blue tentacles flying from the direction of Yayun Island, knocking a hole in the thunderstorm that blocked Haiji Island, and more than 20 humans were wrapped in the tentacles. A closer look revealed that the rebel general Goro was in it.

The second thing was that several influential family heads on Kaigi Island came forward and said that this bronze tentacle coffin that looked like an evil god was Kaigi Daimikoto who had returned from the dead on Kaigi Island. They decided to hold a grand ceremony to celebrate the return of the god.

They said with certainty that since Kaigi Daimikoto had been resurrected from the dead, it was natural that some strange changes would occur.

Coral Palace expressed strong opposition and warned the family heads not to speak recklessly.

But somehow, the Coral Palace and Lord Xinhai of the Coral Palace fell silent and stopped refuting the statements of the family heads. They even acquiesced in them holding a ceremony for the bronze tentacle coffin at the Coral Palace's sacrificial site.

It is said that the day before the Coral Palace fell silent, someone saw blue tentacles dancing wildly above the Coral Palace, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, a terrifying scene of the advent of an evil god. Some people also said that what was dancing were not tentacles, but pieces of light blue ribbons with twinkling stars on them, which was simply beautiful.

But no matter whether it was the advent of an evil god or the shining of stars that happened that day, one thing remained unchanged: the right to speak on Haiqi Island tended to shift from the Coral Palace to several major families.

"Master Coral Palace, I still can't figure it out."

Wu Lang looked at the lively ceremony in the distance and the bronze coffin lying quietly on the altar. He tried to hold back, but finally couldn't help it: "These families don't have many troops. Although it's a bit troublesome, I am sure I can defeat them all within two months... But why should we give in?"

"Goro, why do you think the resistance army of Kaigi Island couldn't defeat the shogunate army, apart from the lack of manpower?" Coral Palace Xinhai smiled peacefully.

"Um... because of the General?"

Wulang scratched his hair.

"Yes, because of the general, or rather, because of the gods. In Teyvat, forces without the protection of gods are like bonfires in the night wind, which may burn brightly but may be extinguished by a gust of wind or a rain at any time."

Coral Palace Xinhai nodded: "Powers without gods are doomed to be no match for forces protected by gods. And now, those families have gods."

Whether it was an evil god or the resurrected Kaigi Daimikoto, they were all gods. The current Haiqi Island could not withstand a civil war instigated by the gods.

"But that god, I don't think He is explicitly protecting them. It's like, it's like..." Wu Lang frowned, thinking for a long time, and finally came up with a description: "It's like looking at a pompom toy, you might get tired of it at any time."

"It seems that Goro has a pom-pom toy that he hasn't gotten tired of yet?"

Coral Palace Xinhai raised his eyebrows and smiled. After seeing Wu Lang's embarrassed expression, he withdrew his gaze with satisfaction, and his smile faded. He sighed, "But he didn't explicitly refuse, right?"

Before the situation becomes clear, what mortals should do is not to use their own wisdom to guess the intentions of the gods.

She looked at the celebration that was about to begin in the distance, with confusion in her gradient pink eyes.

Where did the travelers go?
She originally thought that the traveler was a partner of Lord Yae-miyaji, and that the so-called "divine remains with the hope of resurrection and the remnant of Oropus' consciousness" was a planned drama, the purpose of which was to lure out those with evil intentions in the name of God.

But now it seems that something went wrong. Either she misunderstood, or... the scene in front of her was the plan going on normally.

So, want to take a gamble?

Coral Palace Xinhai lowered his eyes slightly, then smiled helplessly.

Betting or not, she and Haijidao no longer had the power to choose. When the gods selected the roles and arranged a drama, mortals had no chance to refuse.
