Genshin Impact: A Mortal's Ascension to Godhood

"I finally found it...it's worth the time I spent exploring this secret place."

Li Tao used his relatively decent sketches to draw [Bloody Knighthood] and [The Ceremony of the Imperial Family in the Past] in a small notebook, and recorded the relevant effects of the holy relics word by word:

[Bloody Knighthood], tags: physical damage, critical damage

[The Imperial Ceremony of the Past], tags: attack power, elemental burst damage

After recording the last two sets of holy relics, Li Tao picked up his pen and wrote a few more lines: "The buffing effect of holy relics is strong, and the effect of supporting additional equipment is even more obvious."

"Note: Holy relics are divided into two-piece sets and four-piece sets. Different sets have different bonus effects."

"Another note: The holder of the Eye of God can equip a total of five holy relics. The most suitable assembly method: two sets of two-piece sets + one loose piece or four-piece sets + one loose piece."

"Relics in different locations provide different enhancement properties."

After recording some content from the original game in his previous life, Li Tao rubbed his dry eyes and stared blankly at a set of [Bloody Knighthood] floating in front of him.

He thought that this set of holy relics was more suitable for him - or, in other words, more suitable for him when he was at full power. Because his falling attack and heavy attack skill [Hard Vortex Water Blade] were high burst and high damage, and his elemental combat skill [Infinite Shock Zen] was basically a passive skill that increased physical damage -

At the same time, he has not yet comprehended his own elemental explosion, so [The Ceremony of the Royal Family in the Past] is naturally of no use for the time being.

"Anyway, the Emperor didn't ask me to hand over the holy relic, but he just wanted this illustration. I can use the holy relic or give it to someone else, right?" Li Tao thought.

However, after wandering in the secret realm for several days, it is time to leave.

In the past few days, Li Tao finally figured out the relationship between the secret realm and the holy relics - why is the secret realm affected by the earth veins, and why are the holy relics produced in the secret realm?

There is only one reason: although the holy relics are relics of people, immortals, and gods in ancient times, they are still the crystallization of energy and memory. That's right, the holy relics are essentially a ball of energy, and memory gives it a definite shape.

If Li Tao could inject his memory fragments into some energy-rich objects, he could also create holy relics. Unfortunately, he couldn't do that because he could only "see" the memory fragments but couldn't actually use them.

In essence, the secret realm is formed by the gathering of various elemental forces. In different secret realms, there are always some kind of [ground vein anomalies]. This is not an anomaly, but a special condition for the secret realm to open.

People classify them as abnormal because these situations are completely inconsistent with the ground vein conditions observed on a daily basis.

Therefore, the [Holy Relic] is a special item that is produced in the secret realm under such [abnormal ground veins]. It carries the memory of the nameless and uses the fluctuating ground veins to summon monsters to the secret realm rich in elemental power, allowing these monsters to protect them.

Therefore, after exploring the secret realm and obtaining the holy relics, adventurers will think that these are the gold coins dropped by the secret realm. In fact, this is not the case, but the [holy relics] themselves are sleeping here.

"time to go."

Li Tao touched the door and slowly left the [Hua Chi Yan Xiu] secret realm, exhausted from camping in the secret realm for several days.

But when he reached the foot of Mount Ao Zang, he heard some discordant sounds—they were not the sounds of monsters, nor the footsteps of wild animals, but the sounds of people talking.

Why would anyone deliberately come to a place like Ao Zang Mountain where no one lives?

Out of the caution of an adventurer, Li Tao temporarily hid behind a rock and concealed his body with thick bushes.

Soon, he saw several figures wearing familiar uniforms walking not far from him.

"Did that adventurer really come here? Are the memories of those Abyss Mages reliable?"

Several people dressed like soldiers were talking loudly, and a woman in a blue tall hat who was being annoyed by them replied coldly: "Don't question me. You just need to follow orders... Find the adventurer Li Tao who came here to explore the secret place nearby, and capture him."

A soldier waved his hands with black steel gloves on and said with a smile: "What if we accidentally beat him to death?"

The strange woman wearing a blue tall hat and an eye patch still said in a tone that said, "With me here, he can't escape. Or are you doubting my identity and ability as the Lady of the Mirror of the Fatui?"

The soldier fell silent immediately and dared not continue teasing.

Hiding behind the rocks, Li Tao didn't hear the conversation clearly - at least he couldn't hear the words of the Lady Hidden Mirror. But seeing the ill-intentioned appearance of these Fatui, Li Tao didn't believe they were here for a picnic.

"But why do the Fatui always make such a big fuss?" Li Tao was a little confused. "Everyone can see that you are foreigners with bad intentions if you dress like this."

Just as Li Tao was about to "frown and retreat behind the mountains", he suddenly felt an extremely strong breath rushing towards him at a rapid speed.

But the aura seemed to be directed not at him, but at... the group of fools not far from him.

Immediately, some of the Fatui cried out in fear: "What a strong, powerful aura... Is this the adventurer Li Tao?"

"No, it's impossible! Didn't the intelligence say that he was just a rookie? How could his aura be like that of a killer Shura who came down to earth?"

"Lady Cangjing, aren't you the lady of the executive officers? Think of a solution quickly!"

The lady Cangjing was sweating profusely at this moment: "Don't make noise, I'm thinking - No, this wind elemental force wrapped all over his body, this is not Li Tao! The target's Eye of God is of water attribute!"

Several members of the Fatui vanguard quickly picked up their shields and held them in front of them, trying to block the sudden attack from the green whirlwind.

However, their efforts were completely in vain. In just a moment, all the advance team members in the front row were swept away by a gunshot and fell heavily to the ground. Before they could even scream, a large amount of blood flowed from the corners of their mouths, and they were completely dead.

The Lady Hidden Mirror watched the whole process, her face became increasingly pale, her heart sank: "How, how is this possible? He was killed in one blow without even seeing his face... Who is this person, exactly?"

"Damn Fatui, take my move [Water Entanglement, Tide Cage]!"

Li Tao keenly seized the moment when the Fatui were in panic and their morale was low due to the attack, and a rolling cage instantly surged up from under his feet, trapping a large number of Fatui members with a mighty momentum.

These fools turned around in surprise and saw the layers of water prison that wrapped them up, and Li Tao who suddenly appeared behind them.

"What? The mission target suddenly appeared!"

"Is this the time to consider mission objectives?!"

After discovering Li Tao's sudden appearance, the masters who attacked the Fatui were a little surprised, but the spear in his hand did not stop at all, and every stab could easily take the lives of the Fatui advance team.

With the help of [Waves Prison], his attack became easier - he didn't even need to think about where the enemy would dodge, he just had to shoot like a dragon in the direction of the water prison, and then he could see large amounts of blood mist and minced meat exploding in the water prison.

This one-sided massacre lasted less than ten minutes.

The Fools who were suddenly attacked were all killed except the Lady Cangjing who ran away out of fear.

After seeing the last enemy being completely drowned in the [Tidal Cage] due to suffocation, Li Tao was finally able to slowly walk forward and greet the wind-type spearman: "Xiao Shangxian... why are you here?"

That’s right, the master who suddenly appeared in Ao Zang Mountain and wiped out the entire advance team of Fatui without saying a word was none other than the guardian Yaksha and the demon-slaying great sage Xiao.
