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

Chapter 277: Past Events (Upright and Without Sparing Any Effort)

"The other world? Well, it's safe indeed." Chen Yue stood in an open space in the deep sea. The morning sun shone through the sea water onto the ground in front of him that was blocked by the thunder element.

"I'm ready." Ying walked out from the shadows beside her, her eyes fixed on Chen Yue, as if she wanted to see through his inner world.

Chen Yue nodded, took a deep breath, and then took out a large pile of ground vein branches from the package behind him. This pile of ground branches exuded a faint blue light, and the surface was covered with complex patterns, as if it contained endless mysteries.

"What is this?" Ying raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously showing great interest in the branches in front of him.

"They are part of the earth veins. I had a fight with two phantoms from the past," Chen Yue explained. "These branches have unparalleled quality and toughness. They can be said to be ideal materials for making top-level weapons."

Ying nodded to show her understanding. She knew that Chen Yue was not an ordinary blacksmith, and his understanding and pursuit of weapons had reached an extremely high level.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have used the demon's spine as a weapon.

"Ying, what you need to do later is to inject your original power into it. Although the original power will be less as you use it, you don't have to worry about it. I will use my power to make up for the missing part for you."

Ying nodded slightly, with a determined light in her eyes. She had never doubted Chen Yue's words. Since they met, she had always admired Chen Yue's strength and wisdom.

Ying closed her eyes and began to mobilize the original power in her body. This was a deep and mysterious power that came from deep within her heart and was her innate power. As Ying's breathing gradually became deeper and more even, a faint purple aura began to spread around her body.

Chen Yue looked at Ying, his eyes full of trust and expectation. He knew that this moment was crucial for Ying. The consumption of the original power was irreversible for any living being, but Chen Yue was different. His special physique allowed him to slowly recover even if he lost it.

Time seemed to slow down and become heavy at this moment. Chen Yue and Ying were immersed in their own thoughts. Chen Yue began to conceive the shape and characteristics of the knife. He wanted to use his skills to perfectly integrate the earth vein branches and Ying's original power. Ying was constantly adjusting his state to make his original power reach the purest and most powerful state.

Finally, Ying opened her eyes. Her eyes were shining with determination, as if she had made all the preparations. She nodded gently, indicating that the morning appointment could begin.

Chen Yue took a deep breath and placed the earth vein branch in front of him. He put his hands together, then slowly opened them, and a ball of blazing flame condensed between his palms.

This was his Suzaku power, and the key to his weapon forging. He wrapped the flame around the earth vein branch and began to slowly forge it.

As the flames burned, the branches of the earth veins began to melt. Their shapes began to change, from their original solid state to soft and resilient, and their shapes also began to change into what Chen Yue imagined.

Just as the earth vein branches were about to melt completely, Ying suddenly stretched out a hand. A ball of purple aura condensed in her palm, which was her original power. She injected the original power into the earth vein branches, and in an instant, the entire open space seemed to be enveloped by a powerful force.

"It's my turn now." A ray of white light shot from Chen Yue's fingertips into the branches of the earth vein. With the infusion of the original power, the branches of the earth vein began to emit a more dazzling light.

Their forms began to change more dramatically, as if they were being pulled by an invisible force.

Finally, after a long wait, a brand new knife gradually appeared in front of Chen Yue. The knife emitted a faint light, and the surface was very smooth without any patterns.

Its shape is graceful and smooth, like a work of art. More importantly, it is a reverse-edged sword that cannot kill people.

"how?"

Ying stood aside, her eyes fixed on the newly-born reverse-blade knife in Chen Yue's hand, her purple eyes flashing with complex light.

Chen Yue gently stroked the blade, feeling the cool touch it brought, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He raised his head and looked at Ying, his eyes full of confidence: "Very good, this is exactly what I want."

Ying nodded, slowly retracted the purple aura in his hand, and a trace of weakness flashed across his face.

"Close your eyes."

Chen Yue slowly walked in front of Ying and stretched out a hand with his palm facing up. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly drew out the power of the Vermillion Bird in his body, turning it into a gray warm current and injecting it into Ying's palm.

"how do you feel?"

After the gray warm current was injected into Ying's palm, her originally slightly pale face gradually regained its rosy color. Ying felt this power flowing through her body, warm and powerful, like a healing light, dispelling the fatigue caused by the previous consumption of the original power. She gently opened her eyes, met Chen Yue's concerned gaze, and raised a smile at the corner of her mouth.

"Much better, thank you." Ying's voice was full of gratitude.

Chen Yue withdrew his hand, and a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. His power had a strong healing ability, especially for the consumption of original power, which had a nearly perfect repair effect.

"Feel the power in your body. I'm not sure how long it can stay in you, but you should have some of my abilities during this time."

Ying nodded, she closed her eyes, and concentrated on feeling the changes in her body. She could clearly feel the gray warm current flowing through her meridians, warm and powerful. This power seemed to have endless vitality, gradually filling her body with vitality. She tried to mobilize this power and found that it was perfectly integrated with her original power, as if they were originally one.

Ying opened her eyes, and she felt as if she had been reborn. Not only did her fatigue disappear, but her strength also improved significantly.

"Thank you, this power is really strong. I feel like I have been reborn."

Chen Yue smiled and nodded: "It is indeed very powerful. But you must remember that this power does not belong to you."

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed. Chen Yue turned to the side, put the reverse blade in his hand into the scabbard, and then turned to look at Ying: "Now, we finally have a reason to compete with all our strength in an upright manner."
