Genshin Impact: What, the one we need to save is Focalors?

Inazuma, the only island nation among the Seven Nations of Teyvat, has always been the most backward and impoverished.

Last year, under the instigation of the Kanjou Commission and Tenryou Commission, the Raiden Shogun issued two decrees – the The Sakoku Decree and the Vision Hunt Decree – which made Inazuma's situation even more difficult.

The implementation of the The Sakoku Decree almost completely severed Inazuma's ties with the outside world, causing severe damage to Watatsumi Island's pearl industry and tourism, leading to a sharp decline.

At the same time, this decree plunged Watatsumi Island, already with barren land, into a severe food crisis.

Faced with such a predicament, Watatsumi Island, driven to desperation, had no choice but to raise the banner of resistance.

And those who were persecuted by the Vision Hunt Decree also joined the Watatsumi Island resistance army.

A protracted war broke out.

The lives of the already struggling people became even more difficult.

Under the shadow of war, they not only had to cope with the reality of scarce resources and difficult living conditions but also had to endure the heartache of family separation and the destruction of their homes.

In stark contrast, the nobles were still immersed in extravagance and revelry, enjoying a carefree and luxurious life.

The entire nation of Inazuma was like a stagnant pool, dull and lifeless.

Thinking of this, Lin Yide had a change of heart. He had originally planned to go to Mondstadt first to resolve the "Dragon Crisis," but now he changed his mind.

Under Chiori's surprised gaze, Lin Yide slowly spoke, his tone calm and firm: "Chiori, do you have any interest in joining me to depose a god?"

Chiori's eyes widened instantly upon hearing this, her face filled with disbelief.

She wondered if she had misheard, or if Lin Yide was just making a crazy joke.

Depose a god?

What an absurd and shocking idea!

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her turbulent emotions, and said in a tentative and expectant tone, "Yide, you were just joking, right?"

Lin Yide picked up his coffee and took a gentle sip.

The rich and smooth taste of the coffee instantly filled his taste buds. He smiled slightly and asked, "Do you think I look like someone who likes to joke?"

Chiori read determination and resolve in his eyes, realizing that he was not joking.

Her expression became serious, and her voice lowered, "Have you heard of 'Musou no Hitotachi'?"

Lin Yide finished the remaining coffee in one gulp and then slowly stood up.

His eyes flashed with perseverance and decisiveness, "That strike, mortals may not be unable to reach. There will always be creatures on the ground who dare to face the might of thunder!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving only a resolute back view.

Chiori stared blankly in the direction he disappeared, her heart surging with indescribable emotions.

She couldn't help but repeat Lin Yide's words to herself: "There will always be creatures on the ground who dare to face the might of thunder."

…

After leaving Chiori's shop, he no longer had the leisure to appreciate the scenery and walked straight towards his home.

Just before reaching his doorstep, Lin Yide saw Lyney and Lynette waiting there expectantly.

After a long absence, Lyney had become more mature. Although he was still a teenager under the age of sixteen, he exuded a reassuring aura.

And Lynette had become more beautiful and lovely, her face filled with youthful radiance, and her big eyes sparkling with agility.

As soon as she saw Lin Yide, she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart and ran towards him like a cheerful little bird, throwing herself into his arms.

Lin Yide gently stroked her head, "I'm back."

He looked up at Lyney and nodded slightly, and Lyney returned a smile.

Then, the three of them walked into the villa together.

"Master Yide!" Old Dirk burst into tears as soon as he saw Lin Yide.

Lin Yide gazed at Old Dirk's aging face, his heart filled with mixed emotions, "Uncle Dirk, I'm back."

Old Dirk couldn't wait to step forward, tightly grasp Lin Yide's hand, and carefully examine him. Only after seeing that he had no injuries did he finally put down the big stone in his heart.

After Lin Yide chatted with Old Dirk about recent events, he walked into the study with Lyney and Lynette.

Everything in the study was as it used to be, as if time had stood still here, no different from the scene when he left. Obviously, it had been carefully maintained and cleaned.

He slowly sat in his former seat and turned his gaze to Lyney.

Finding that his temperament was becoming more and more like his previous self, he frowned and said, "Lyney, you shouldn't become the next me, but become yourself. Do you understand what I mean?"

Lyney immediately understood and respectfully said, "Father, I understand."

Despite this, Lyney's deep desire to become someone like Lin Yide had not changed.

For him, being able to follow in Lin Yide's footsteps and become the admirable existence he was would be the highest pursuit and supreme glory of his life.

Then, he looked at Lynette, his expression suddenly becoming much gentler, "Lynette, I only have one request for you, stay away from blondes!"

Lynette was a little confused, "Father, what do you mean by blondes?"

Lin Yide patiently explained, "Those young people with blonde hair who seem to be doing nothing."

Lynette replied with a smile, "Father, don't worry, as long as I mention your name, those who dare to provoke me will immediately run away. Besides, my Favonius Bladework is not just for show."

Hearing Lynette's answer, the big stone in Lin Yide's heart finally fell a little, but he still solemnly instructed, "In the future, a blonde named Traveler will come to Fontaine, you must stay away from him!"

Although Lynette had doubts, seeing Lin Yide's serious face, she still promised without hesitation, "Father, please rest assured, I will definitely stay away from that blonde named Traveler!"

Then, Lin Yide changed the subject and started talking about business, asking Lyney, "Have all the Fatui from the West Factory been purged?"

Lyney's expression tightened, and he replied seriously, "Most of the purging work has been completed, but… a few of them are loyal to Arlecchino, and they are really not easy to deal with."

Lin Yide frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "Don't touch Arlecchino's people, she won't do anything to harm Fontaine. On the contrary, you should try to cooperate with her work."

Hearing Lin Yide say this, Lyney's tense expression relaxed a little, and he nodded, "I understand, Father."

Lin Yide continued, "Next, start collecting all the information related to Inazuma, and prepare the manpower. I will go to Inazuma in a while."
