Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave

Hearing this, even Ganyu couldn't hide her surprise and quickly covered her lips with her hands.

"Not all the priests and pillars will betray us. Perhaps only one or two leaders, coupled with the art of 'false destiny', will be enough to implement the plan."

Paimon sighed deeply and gave the most accurate guess for the current situation.

The probability of all the priests and pillars rebelling collectively is extremely small, but what if a few leading figures rebel?

Giving orders in the name of the Sleeping Maintainer is enough to allow them to do what they want.

According to Paimon, the priests themselves hold considerable power. As the closest beings to true gods, they are like the left and right arms of the Maintainer.

Throughout history, whenever an emergency occurred, it was often not necessary for the maintainer to do anything personally.

For example, chaotic forces such as the "Abyss Cult" are growing.

Or technologically advanced countries need to be destroyed.

Or maybe someone is planning a rebellion against Sky Island.

Unless there is a catastrophe like the one that happened in the Kingdom of Kanreya five hundred years ago, which even involved the "newborns", most other problems can be solved by simply sending priests to earth.

From a worldly perspective, the power of the priests of Sky Island is indeed extremely powerful.

You know, the priests are carefully selected from the divine pillars.

How sacred are the divine pillars; they are considered the pinnacle of the original gods, possessing the right to inherit the throne of the elemental gods and being able to control the powerful forces of the world under the appointment of the Sky Island.

Long before they ascended to heaven, these past divine pillars had already been famous throughout the ages as legendary powerful men.

For example, Vanessa, the first Dandelion Knight who created the "Knights of Favonius".

Legend has it that after Vanessa founded the Knights of Favonius, she reached the pinnacle of martial arts with the help of the wind god. At the end of her life, she came to the place where the wind rises, left her legend and a sapling, then bid farewell to the world and ascended to heaven.

The sapling was protected by thousands of winds and, over time, it finally grew into a giant tree that blocked out the sun.

After leaving Mondstadt, Vanessa arrived at Sky Island and became a pillar who could inherit the status of Wind God at any time.

Such a legend can be regarded as an extraordinary existence in Mond's history, but she is only a pillar of God, not a priest.

All the original gods who were promoted to Sky Island were screened by the Maintainers.

Only if they are appreciated by the maintainer and recognized as having the power and potential to assist themselves, can they be promoted to priests. Otherwise, they can only live on the Sky Island as a pillar of God.

Therefore, the priests and divine pillars who seem to have similar status have significant differences in strength.

Only a very small number of the top talents among the original gods have the possibility of becoming an empty pillar, and only a very small number of super geniuses among the pillars have the opportunity to step into the ranks of priests.

Therefore, the power of the priest is self-evident.

Even after thousands or even tens of thousands of years, they are even above the "Seven Rulers of the Earthly Realm", and most of them can reach the realm of "quasi-saints".

The power of the "quasi-holy god" has been demonstrated in the previous knight blood sacrifice incident. Even if the seven rulers of the world gather together, they are no match for a quasi-holy god.

In other words, as long as Sky Island sends out a priest, its strength will exceed that of the entire continent of Teyvat.

However, the number of priests around each Heavenly Justice Maintainer varies, and some even have no priests at all.

For example, Paimon, who controls time, does not need a priest, and she herself does not often stay on Sky Island.

The law maintainer who manages the entrance does not have any priests under him, and he himself does not reside on Sky Island permanently.

Currently, all the priests on the island belong to the three main maintainers of life, death and space.

Although Paimon was not very clear about the specific situation of that group of priests, he had never paid much attention to them after all.

For Li Mochen and others who were eager to know the details of the people who came to the earth this time, Paimeng's vague answer was not of much help and could not provide the most crucial information - about the priests.

Although the priest and the divine pillar came down to earth together, Li Mochen and the others did not take the divine pillar seriously.

Not to mention that the divine pillar has not yet inherited the position and power of the Rock God, even if he has inherited it, he cannot be called a top powerhouse.

The reason why Zhongli is so powerful is not because he is the God of Rock, but because he is extremely powerful.

Usually, when a pillar of god succeeds to the throne, it is rare for him to have strength comparable to that of his predecessor.

This can be seen from the situation when the neighboring former grass god Naberis ascended the throne five hundred years later.

This noble Seventh Ruler was ambushed by the executive officer of the Kingdom of Winter in his own territory, and the Heart of God was directly stolen...

Except for the God of Grass, the subsequent gods of ice, fire, thunder, and water have failed to regain the power of their original generation.

Obviously, the Divine Pillar can take over the authority of God, but it cannot quickly gain the same power, especially for a strong man like Zhongli who has experienced hundreds of battles and survived for six thousand years.

Even though the newcomer Geo was a top-tier warrior famous in Genshin Impact before he ascended the throne, he was still far behind Zhongli.

Therefore, no matter what plans this newly descended divine pillar has, Li Mochen is confident that he can control it.

But it’s different for the priests. If they are truly at the “quasi-holy god” level, the situation would be another matter.

Can Li Mochen resist the priest now? Maybe, maybe not...

He would never express his opinion easily before he thoroughly understood the person's identity and status.

At this moment, intelligence about the clergy who have come to this world has become a vital source of information.

Li Mochen and others were eager to find out this person's background and find out what his intentions were for coming to the mortal world this time.

However, Paimon obviously couldn't provide them with these. She shrugged helplessly and shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.

"Hey, he's a real god, but in the end, he's useless."

When Li Mochen heard Paimon mention that he didn't know the detailed situation of other priests, he couldn't help but sneer softly.

"Well...what else can I do? I don't deal with priests, so what do the other guardian clergy have to do with me?"

Paimon said as he picked up the roasted chicken leg on the table and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation.

Seeing that Paimeng really didn't know the details of the clergy who came this time, Li Mochen could only find another way. But is there anyone in the world who can really know the situation of Sky Island?

The five new generation "Seven Rulers of the World" may know about this because they have all served as "Temple Guardians" on Sky Island.

But Li Mochen has nothing to do with the gods of ice, water, fire, thunder and grass, so it is unlikely that they would reveal such secrets casually... Wait, are there only five of them who have been to Sky Island?

If I remember correctly, a wandering poet also stayed there for a while.

So far, the information provided by Paimeng is the most first-hand information that Li Mochen has about Sky Island.

But in fact, the first impression of Sky Island came from another person, to be precise, a seemingly idle poet, a being who was not quite like a god.

A long time ago, facing the crisis of meteorite disaster, Li Mochen got the clue about Sky Island for the first time. It came from the original wind god Barbatos - and it was Wendy who told him.

As the only two remaining original "Seven Rulers of the World", Wendy undoubtedly possesses a wealth of knowledge.

Although Zhongli lived longer than Venti, according to sources, Zhongli may not be as agile as Venti.
