Genshin Impact: I am a high-ranking official from various countries

Chapter 247: Past Events (Challenge of the Gods)

“So, this is why you lost control last night and why you are like this now?” Zhongli stood on the dock of Liyue Harbor with his back to Chen Yue, his tone containing an indescribable weirdness.

Chen Yue stood there with an awkward smile on her face. She scratched her head gently and tried to explain: "Although it does sound a bit... well, bizarre, but I really didn't lie." Her voice trembled slightly, as if she also felt that this reason was a bit ridiculous.

In fact, this was not the first time Zhongli had seen Chen Yue in this state, but it was the first time she had communicated with him in this manner. She couldn't help but feel uneasy, not knowing how to face her boss in front of her.

Chen Yue took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then said: "In short, I didn't expect something like this to happen, but judging from the current situation, it doesn't seem to have much impact on me."

She tried to lighten the atmosphere with a relaxed tone, but she was still nervous in her heart.

Zhongli listened to Chen Yue's explanation quietly, and after a moment of silence, he slowly turned around. He stared at Chen Yue with his deep eyes, as if he wanted to see through her eyes to see her true thoughts deep in her heart. After a while, he spoke.

"Anyway, it has happened and we should learn from it. This experience may bring you some enlightenment and let you understand yourself better."

Chen Yue nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with Zhong Li's point of view. She knew that although this unexpected incident seemed bizarre, it might contain some deep meaning.

At this moment, a breeze blew by, blowing Chen Yue's hair. She subconsciously reached out to tidy up her hair, and at the same time felt Zhongli's vague gaze. At this moment, a strange emotion surged in her heart, but she quickly suppressed it.

"Thank you for your advice, Emperor. I will reflect on myself when I get back." Chen Yue said with a smile

Zhongli looked at Chen Yue, his lips slightly raised, and said softly: "You're welcome. If you need any help, just let me know. But by comparison, I'm more curious about your experience in Inazuma, and what is your relationship with the current Thunder God?"

Chen Yue was stunned when she heard this. She never expected Zhongli to suddenly mention his experience in Inazuma, and she never thought that he would be interested in her relationship with Lei Shen. She was at a loss for a moment.

What was even more puzzling was that Chen Yue clearly caught a hint of gossip on Zhongli's calm face.

She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "This is really strange..." After a slight hesitation, Chen Yue finally responded, "Well, this is a long story, I'm afraid it can't be explained in a few words."

Zhongli seemed to have seen through her thoughts and responded calmly: "It's okay, just keep it short. I can understand the whole story."

"Well, actually I like her."

"Uh-huh?!"

Zhongli raised his eyebrows, obviously a little surprised by this answer. He tilted his head slightly and looked at Chen Yue with an inquiring look, as if to confirm whether she was joking. But looking at Chen Yue's serious expression, he knew that he had not heard wrongly.

"Are you sure?" There was a hint of subtle surprise in Zhongli's tone.

Chen Yue nodded with a faint smile on his face: "Sure, although it sounds unbelievable, I do like her."

Zhongli was silent for a moment, as if he was digesting this information. He slowly turned around and looked at the vast land in the distance, as if he was lost in thought.

"Then why did you bring her to Liyue? And why do you think that a god would marry a human?"

"You know, as the guardian of Inazuma, Lei Shen has a heavy responsibility, and her decisions often affect the fate of the entire country." Zhongli said with a hint of seriousness in his tone.

Chen Yue nodded and said, "I understand. So my status in Inazuma is also extraordinary. I am above everyone else and not below anyone else. I can indirectly intervene in all matters of Inazuma, big or small."

"To be honest, it's not too much for me to be the God of Thunder."

When Chen Yue said this, Zhong Li narrowed his eyes instantly. He knew that Chen Yue was not someone who spoke without a purpose. Since she dared to say this, she must have a certain confidence. But even so, he still found it a little unbelievable.

After all, the position of Thunder God is the supreme existence for the Inazuma people. How can it be replaced by just anyone?

"Such outrageous words, if you said this during the Demon God War, I would have already taken action against you. But now is a peaceful time, I allow you to explain."

Chen Yue took a deep breath, as if to calm her inner excitement. She raised her head, looked directly into Zhongli's eyes, and said slowly: "I say this not because I am arrogant. It is because I hold a powerful force in my hands. My current strength is no less than that of a god."

Zhongli raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He knew that Chen Yue was quite powerful, but he still had some doubts about whether he could be compared with the gods. After all, the power of the gods was not just about strength, but also about the understanding and control of the world.

"Oh? Then can you show me your strength and let me see if you have really reached the level of a god?" Zhongli's tone contained a hint of challenge.

Chen Yue smiled slightly and nodded. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then suddenly opened her eyes. A strong aura instantly emanated from her.

Zhongli felt this aura, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. This aura was indeed extremely powerful, and even made him feel a little pressured.

Chen Yue raised his hand and a beam of light instantly broke through the sky and rushed straight into the sky. Wherever the light passed, the space seemed to be torn apart, revealing a huge black hole.

Zhongli looked at the black hole and was somewhat shocked. He could feel that the black hole contained an extremely powerful force, as if it could swallow everything.

"Is this your power?" Zhongli couldn't help but ask.

Chen Yue nodded and said, "This is just a part of my power. I just researched it."

"As for other explosive abilities, I can't demonstrate them here, but their power is so strong that even Inazuma Kagemusha can't handle them."

"Also, I recently invented a spell that can bring you back to life. If it is performed properly, it can also be regarded as my power."

"This technique is called - Impure World Reincarnation!"
