Genshin Impact: A Mortal's Ascension to Godhood

As soon as Li Tao opened the gate to the secret realm, he saw several Fatui guarding the door and their eyes met his.

He immediately drew his sword and prepared for battle, but found that there was ecstasy in the eyes of the Fatui - they didn't even look at Li Tao, but just shouted "The gate is open" and ran towards Li Tao.

Li Tao was naturally startled, but he still shouted in an orderly manner: "Stop! Fatui, you invaded Liyue for no reason and even induced my brothers to suffer. How can I let you leave so easily?"

However, the Fatui did not listen at all. Even when faced with Li Tao blocking their way, they just rushed forward with extreme impatience and tried to drive him away by force.

Li Tao asked them several times about the whereabouts of Xingqiu and Chongyun, but these people turned a deaf ear to him. They kept rushing forward, trying to get past Li Tao and leave the secret realm, as if they were deaf.

Facing these incomprehensible things, Li Tao had no choice but to talk to them with his sword. After killing several people with his sword, the Fatui finally looked at him. The faces of these guys were full of ferocious anger: "You bastard, why don't you let us leave?"

Li Tao was very confused: Are you crazy? Why should I let you leave? We are enemies, right?

Just when the fools who had lost their minds were about to rush forward to continue fighting with Li Tao, a weak female voice sounded: "Don't move, let me talk to him!"

Li Tao looked closely and saw a green-haired woman holding her belly walking out of the crowd. She was wearing a purple robe, a huge purple hood covering her head, and an eye mask in front of the hood covering her eyes. In her right hand, she held something like an oil lamp, and her left hand was pressing her belly unnaturally, as if she was having a stomachache. Although her clothes covered many marks on her, Li Tao could still see that her skin was an unhealthy pale white.

Isn't this the Firefly Warlock? Why is he like this?

But it seemed that it was not just the Firefly Warlock - among the Fatui, some people standing at the back of the team seemed to be like the Firefly Warlock, with pale faces, skinny bodies, holding their stomachs, and looking very hungry.

Combined with the fact that the fools in the front row had just swarmed to the door and were trying to rush out of the secret realm, Li Tao suddenly realized: It turned out that these people were trapped in the secret realm!

Before Li Tao had time to think about it, he heard the Thunder Firefly Warlock say, "Adventurer Mr. Li Tao...please allow me to apologize to you."

Li Tao's expression remained unchanged, he stood there with his hands folded: "Apologize? Why do you say that?"

The Lightning Warlock also told the truth as sincerely as possible: "In fact, we received an order from our superiors. They said that a group of our fire debt handlers in Liyue were wiped out by a few Liyue heroes, and they need us to bring people to investigate your true strength."

"We followed Xingqiu and Young Hero Chongyun to this secret realm. We wanted to carry out our mission, but we were unexpectedly trapped in this secret realm."

"Mr. Li Tao, please rest assured that your friends are safe now. They are in this secret place. We have not harmed them..."

Li Tao was so angry that he laughed. He made a sword flower and said, "So you are just here to exchange martial arts experiences with Xingqiu and Chongyun?"

The Leiying magician remained calm: "From the results, it is like this. So Mr. Li Tao, can you please leave? We don't interfere with each other. You go your way and I go mine. Can't we just say goodbye now?"

After the Thunder Firefly Warlock finished speaking, she stared at Li Tao closely. She didn't expect to convince Li Tao in one conversation, but as long as she could attract his attention, it would be considered a success...

However, Li Tao had already seen through the tricks of the Fatui. He sneered and said coldly: "When have the Fatui ever been so reasonable? As far as I know, the Fatui's way of doing things is 'no taboos'. As long as it can help you, you will do it, even if that kind of thing violates the ethics of heaven, you will do it shamelessly. Why are you begging for mercy now?"

"Oh, I understand. You have lost the power you relied on. You tried every possible means to get me away from here, just to escape from the secret realm. Your previous actions have already made this clear."

The Thunder Firefly Warlock was so angry that her teeth were itching: Damn it, if it weren't for those disorderly bastards acting on their own, maybe what she said would have been a little convincing!

Li Tao continued to talk to the other party: "So the current situation is easy to guess - you, Xingqiu and Chongyun disappeared without a trace, but you are just trapped in this secret realm. This kind of thing is not uncommon. After all, the Adventurer's Association has recorded many cases."

"It must be hard to be trapped in the secret realm for more than a month. You must have eaten all the food. Although there is abundant elemental power here, there are self-regulating mechanisms everywhere. There are no birds or beasts. Next time, when you act pitiful, you must cover up your weaknesses!"

"...Fuck you, you piece of shit adventurer!" The Thunder Firefly Warlock was so angry that he pointed at Li Tao and shouted, "Kill him! If we don't kill him, none of us can escape!"

Li Tao smiled contemptuously - You should have realized this long ago, right? Kill you, and I can go find Xingqiu and Chongyun myself. I should not have the strength to deal with your entire advance team plus the leader, but now you are extremely weak, and your offense and defense are different!

Li Tao extended two fingers and pointed them at the howling Fatui who were charging at him. He cursed, "Fatui! I'll fuck you old woods, fuck you dendrobiums! A bunch of red stones can't catch up with a hot dog. Just wait and see how I'll blow you up!"

......

Meanwhile, what are Xingqiu and Chongyun doing?

The two of them still followed the example of Shuyi and Boqi from the pre-Zhou period on Blue Star and ate wild vegetables.

"Eating wild vegetables every day, every meal, when will this end?" Chongyun picked at the green wild vegetables in the small pot he carried with him, not at all in the mood, "Even if I don't like spicy food, I want to eat meat now..."

Xingqiu also had no strength left, and said softly: "Stop talking, the more you talk the hungrier you get. Let's conserve our energy and look for a chance to escape. We won't die here!"

Although he said so, Xingqiu had already prepared for the worst in his heart - even if it meant risking his life, he would use his last bit of strength to fight the Fatui to the death.

"Hmm...whose turn is it to go out for a walk today?"

Xingqiu stood up with great effort, supported himself on the rock wall beside him, and whispered, "It's just the two of us, we take turns... I'll go."

However, before Xingqiu had taken a few steps, he felt a large amount of vibration coming from the entrance of the secret cave.

Although Xingqiu fell to the ground, his face was filled with surprise - this meant that someone was fighting at the entrance of the cave. And no matter who it was, the one who could clash with the Fatui guarding the entrance was probably Liyue's own people!

Xingqiu didn't care about the pain from the fall, he stood up quickly and turned to look for Chongyun. Chongyun also felt the shock and quickly walked out of his hiding place.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, ran towards the cave entrance at their fastest speed.

At this moment, the two people's inner thoughts were almost exactly the same: "The cave entrance must be opened, and the person who comes must be our own people who come to save us!"

Anyway, Xingqiu and Chongyun have eaten enough wild vegetables these days...
