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

Chapter 299 It’s Over

Bringing the real corpse to Ying, Chen Yue said nothing, but just stood quietly in front of her.

Ying also said nothing, because reality is often more convincing than words.

The two of them just stood there quietly, as if each was waiting for the other to speak first.

"Let's bury Zhen first." Ying finally spoke first, and her words broke the silence.

Chen Yue nodded, and disappeared in front of Ying in the last blink of an eye.

The remains of Shinji were sent to the most beautiful place in Inazuma Castle - the sacred cherry tree. There, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and the petals fell in the wind, just like Shinji's smile, forever remaining in their hearts.

Also buried at the same time was the reverse-edged sword that Zhen had made for him using his flesh and blood? Zhen Da.

After burying Zhen, Chen Yue and Ying sat side by side under the cherry tree where they had played cards, drank tea and ate snacks together before. Neither of them spoke, but just looked at the sky quietly.

Chen Yue didn't know how to express his feelings at this time. He lost his best friend and also lost Zhen, whom he loved deeply.

This was only what he lost in Inazuma. In other countries, he also lost all his loyal subordinates. His own power was severely hit in this disaster.

The strong impact made him exceptionally calm, but he seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

And Ying, although she looks calm on the surface, her heart is also filled with pain and helplessness.

"This is for you." Ying took out the Heart of Thundergod and threw it to Chen Yue.

"Is this the Heart of God?" Chen Yue asked in confusion, looking at Ying. "Why did you give this to me?"

He took a deep breath, stood up from under the cherry tree, turned around and looked at Chen Yue solemnly.

"From tomorrow on, you are the God of Thunder."

"what?"

Chen Yue was so shocked by Ying's words that he was almost speechless. He stared at Ying with wide eyes, trying to find a trace of a joke on her face, but Ying's expression was more serious than ever.

"Don't be surprised, Joe. I have great military power but am not good at governing a country. It just so happens that you have the power of thunder and are better at governing a country than I am. Why not let you be the god of thunder?"

"What about you? What are you planning to do?" Chen Yue stood up excitedly. He had a vague feeling that something seemed to be wrong.

"I will leave Inazuma and travel to other countries. I will search for the path to something truly beautiful. Until I find the path to something truly beautiful, I will enjoy fighting with you."

As soon as Ying finished speaking, the atmosphere under the cherry tree seemed to freeze.

"What is true beauty? Is our goal in Inazuma Castle?"

"You just can't see it. There is a road ahead that leads to true beauty." Ying interrupted Chen Yue's words. She looked at Chen Yue deeply, with a firm light flashing in her eyes.

"Then tell me what the beauty ahead is? If it is the continuation of people's dreams, I need you to guide them, both as a leader and as a friend."

Chen Yue's eyes were firm and passionate. He looked at Ying, trying to find the answer from her eyes.

"The wishes of mortals are too weak, and life is too fragile. Besides, you will never be able to achieve them. Eternity, only eternity is closest to the law of nature."

Ying's words were like a cold sword, piercing Chen Yue's heart. He stood there in shock, unable to express the shock in words.

"Ying, although your ideal is wrong, I know I have no right to say anything against you. So, you should be the Thunder God."

Although Chen Yue's voice was calm, every word sounded like a well-thought-out decision. He stood up and looked toward the distant sky, his heart filled with expectations and determination for the future.

"I'll return the Heart of God to you. The Inazuma people won't accept a new Thunder God, so I'll just leave. However, this doesn't mean I think your philosophy is correct. I'll be outside, establish a new organization, and then make you lose completely, proving that your philosophy is wrong."

"As you said, I will enjoy fighting with you until we are on the path to true beauty."

"If I lose, you can just kill me, and then no one will stop you."

As soon as Chen Yue finished speaking, a heavy and resolute atmosphere filled the air. Ying looked at him deeply, as if trying to find out his true thoughts.

"Yue, I already know your courage and determination. But do you really think that you can change my ideas with your own strength?" Ying's voice contained a hint of challenge and expectation.

"No, I don't plan to fight alone." Chen Yue replied with a smile, "I will find like-minded partners and fight for true beauty together. I know this road will not be smooth, but I am willing to give everything for it."

Ying nodded, with a complex look in her eyes. She knew that Chen Yue's decision was not an impulse, but a well-thought-out choice.

She took a deep breath and said slowly, "Since you have made up your mind, I will not stop you. Don't return to Inazuma until you are ready. No matter where you go, I will be waiting for you here, waiting for you to challenge me in person."

Chen Yue nodded slightly. He knew that this was Ying's ultimatum to him and also her respect for him.

"This is the last time I will address you like this, my dear sister. Goodbye, Baalzebub, we will meet again."

Chen Yue turned around, turned his back to Inazuma, and embarked on an unknown journey.

"Then I will call you brother-in-law for the last time. Goodbye, Chen Yixuan. Next time we meet, we will be enemies."

At this point, Lord Inazuma, the King of War who was a rival to Lord Shogun, died completely in the dark disaster, and was replaced by the eternal kingdom.

All the information about Chen Yue in Inazuma Castle was deleted, and only a small part of the content was preserved in the top-secret files of the Kamisato family and on the distant Kaiji Island.

This is also why Kamisato Ayato and Xinhai recognize Chen Yue's face.

However, Chen Yue took two people from Shen Li's family with him before he left. One was named Rui and the other was named Wen.

These two people are the descendants of Chen Yue's adopted son, and also the ancestors of Chen Yue's future capable men.

More than ten years later, Chen Yue heard that a young ghost boy had come to Liyue Harbor.

Chen Yue's mouth curled up slightly when he heard the news. It seemed that Hu Chiyo's biological son had come to see him. After settling Yu Yudaoqi down, Chen Yue promised him that he would let him see his mother again in his lifetime.

Later, Chen Yue used some unknown means to allow Yu Yudao Qizhen to see his mother.

From then on, the descendants of Yuyu Daoqi truly submitted to Chen Yue. However, Chen Yue thought this surname was too sensitive, so he changed it to "Zhi".

At this point, the history of Inazuma came to an end at the moment of Michiki's death.

The King of Wu is gone, and in his place is the leader of an organization that trains soldiers and horses, a real ambitious man.
