After the meal, Ying and Paimeng were so full that they collapsed in their chairs and couldn't get up.

Paimon kept giving thumbs up to Jiuqi Shinobu and Axing: "Delicious, the food you two sisters cooked is so delicious, it's really a sister rice bowl!"

A Xing did not take credit for it, and pointed at Jiu Qi Shinobu and said, "Shinobu is the chef. She has passed the chef's and cook's certificates."

Paimon turned to Kuki Shinobu and said, "Shinobu, I didn't expect you to know so much. You are a high-ranking official in the shogunate, and you can cook. What other skills did you take the test?"

Jiuqi Shinobu didn't answer, and Yae Shinko replied: "Shinobu can do a lot of things, such as sewing, quasi-actuary, health manager, human resources manager..."

"What a pity. Why don't you become a miko if you are so omnipotent?"

Jiuqi said helplessly: "Like the Palace Master, I can't stand the plain life of a shrine maiden."

Paimon was surprised and said, "What a versatile person! How can one person master so many skills?"

Ying mocked Paimeng: "I'm not like you. My stomach is full of knowledge, while your stomach is full of food."

Paimon was not to be outdone: "Ying, don't blame me either, you just do nothing but fight and kill."

Kamisato Ayaka smiled and said, "Ying, Paimon, stop arguing and go to rest! There is a big event waiting for us tomorrow."

Ying and Paimon nodded.

Just as they were about to take a rest in the Narugami Grand Shrine, Yae Shinko suddenly stopped Ying and said, "Ying, you can't rest yet. Although you are only dealing with Ying and not General Raiden, Ying is not so easily convinced."

"If she pulls you into a pure land, and you fall asleep in no time, how can Ying recognize your ideas?"

"I'm going to give you special training against the Thunder General!"

"Anti-Raiden General Special Training?"

Ying and Paimon were puzzled.

Without further explanation, Yae Kamiko pulled Ying and Paimon out of the Narukami Taisha Shrine.

Yae Kamiko took Ying and Paimon along the path leading to the foot of the mountain from Narugami Taisha Shrine.

Yae Shinko asked Ying and Paimon: "Do you two know the relationship between Ying and me?"

Paimon said, "Miss Qianli said that you and General Raiden are good friends."

Yae Miko corrected him, "To be precise, I am only good friends with Ying, and General Raiden and I are only in a monarch-subject relationship."

"Five hundred years ago, the Shadow was not yet the Thunder God. The previous Thunder God was Shin, who was Shadow's elder sister. Shin and Shadow were twin demon gods, and they jointly held the power of Inazuma."

"He was a peaceful person and didn't like fighting, so Inazuma Shin was in charge of the shogunate and sorted out government affairs."

"As a warrior, the Kage led the military affairs of the shogunate, conquered the world, and purged the Inazuma territory of all the demons, both large and small."

As she spoke, Yae Shinko's eyes were filled with longing.

"At that time, Inazuma was at its most powerful, with two demon gods ruling over it, and many great monsters submitting to the two gods."

"Konosaishi, Yurakusai, Sasayuri, Michiyo..."

"But the disaster that happened in Kanreya five hundred years ago changed everything. The gods came to Kanreya, and the gods died in Kanreya. The great monsters also shed blood on the battlefield in the war against the abyss."

"I remember that day clearly. Ying rushed back from Kanreya in a daze. She couldn't even bring back the real body."

"I have never seen such a sad Ying. She is the martial god of Inazuma. She has always been decisive and merciless in killing."

"But she also has feelings and things worth protecting."

"But all these things have disappeared with the wind, and her only friends left are me and Miyu Chiyo."

"However, Miyoshi Chiyo was infected during the war against the Abyss, lost her mind, and swung her sword at Ying."

"She disappeared afterwards. Ying and I searched all over Inazuma but couldn't find her. She must have gone to a quiet place to commit suicide!"

Ying and Paimon listened to what Yaezun said. Although Yaezun spoke calmly, they both felt the sadness in his words.

"A person's growth is accompanied by countless sufferings, but this price is too cruel for Ying."

"She saw everything she cherished disappear one by one, and saw Kanreya, who was running at full speed, lose everything under the scourge of heaven and the abyss."

"I think that Ying no longer believed in Shuyu and wishes from that time on! This will was also conveyed to General Raiden, which is why she issued the Eye Hunting Order and denied wishes."

Ying asked, "Why did Ying want to enter the Pure Land of One Heart? Is she trying to escape?"

Yae Shinko thought for a moment and replied, "It's partly about escaping, but more about resisting wear and tear."

"Wear and tear is the law of nature. Aging, illness and death are the wear and tear of mortals. When a person is born, he or she will experience the death of his or her loved ones, all kinds of hardships, and finally turn into a handful of yellow soil and merge into the earth."

"For gods, weakening of magic power, degradation of memory, and loss of emotions are all part of their wear and tear."

"Have you ever heard of Lord Rādhāra, the dragon mother of Brahma?"

Ying nodded: "I heard from Brahma that the Dragon King Ruota was once a comrade-in-arms of the Rock God Morax. Because of his great contributions, Morax was afraid of him and sealed him away."

Yae Shenzi shook his head and smiled: "That little evil dragon is really not grateful to his adoptive father at all. Remember in the future, don't believe every word he says."

"In fact, King Ruotu was a very peaceful dragon at the beginning, but with the wear and tear imposed by the laws of nature and the destruction of the earth veins by the Liyue people, King Ruotu became irritable and angry."

"Eventually lost all his memories and broke up with Morax."

Paimon said in horror: "Wear is so terrible! Will Brahma also wear out? What if he loses his humanity one day and kills people everywhere?"

The Eightfold Son of God smiled and said, "Brahma is still a young dragon in terms of age, it is still a long way from being worn out! I think the laws of nature cannot wear him down, because he has no limits."

"I think he won't go around killing people, but will go around capturing beautiful girls for sexual pleasure."

Ying nodded: "Yes, this is him."

Yae Shinko continued, "In short, wear and tear is a very terrible thing for the gods. Even a great dragon like King Ryota has lost his rationality due to wear and tear, not to mention the seven rulers of the mortal world."

"The three oldest gods among the known seven rulers are Morax, the god of rock, Barbatos, the god of wind, and Shadow, or Baalzebub, the god of thunder."

"The Rock God and the Wind God are both first-generation gods. Although Ying inherited the position of Zhen, he and Zhen are twin demon gods, so they can also be considered first-generation gods."

"The wear and tear is most severe for first-generation gods like them."

"In order to resist the wear and tear, the wind god Barbatos chose to sleep, and the rock god Morax chose to endure it."

Ying was a little surprised: "Zhongli is just enduring the wear and tear?"

The Eightfold God nodded: "Liyue is a country that walks with the gods. The Rock God is always protecting the lights of thousands of homes. In order to keep the continent's finances flowing, he also disperses his divine power into Mora."

"Although solid rock can withstand thousands of years of wind and frost, a drop of water can wear away a stone. Even the strongest shield in the world cannot be immune to wear and tear."

"I think the Rock God must have lost a lot of power and a lot of memories."
