Everything in the world has a price.
All the gifts given by fate are secretly priced for you, but some prices allow you to defer payment, some allow you to pay in installments, and some require you to pay on the spot.
The Eye of God is obtained when the desire becomes strong enough and attracts the attention of the gods. While it helps mortals gain the ability to guide and use elemental forces, what price will the holder have to pay?
Lisa, the librarian of the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt, had thought deeply about this question. But even as a genius that only appears once in hundreds of years in the Sumeru Academy, it was difficult for her to come to a clear conclusion on this issue.
Compared to the Eye of God, the Evil Eye developed by the Fatui through a series of technologies is certainly terrifying, but at least it has given you a clear answer in terms of the cost.
That is the life force of the holder - want to gain powerful power? No problem, just overdraw your life.
Ning Qingxuan naturally found it difficult to accept this method of exchanging one's life for power.
Therefore, after discovering at the Institute of Gewu that Orichalcum steel had the miraculous property of guiding and even storing elemental power and even higher-level holy light power, the question that Ning Qingxuan/the general naturally focused on became - what is the price?
Then, he/she finds out that he/she has made a mistake.
There was no holy light in the Shenzhou Empire, nor was there any original light world force, let alone the seven elements power after the light world force was disassembled and differentiated.
Even the thunder that the general summoned using the power of the god of thunder was just pure lightning, not the elemental power of thunder in Teyvat.
Only the Son of God, because she is a native creature born in that environment after the elemental system of Teyvat matured, under the influence of the adaptive evolution of the organism itself for better survival, she is able to synthesize a tiny bit of elemental ability in her body at an extremely slow speed.
——Even Zhu Youxin once suspected that the elemental power that the Son of God now possessed was actually a part of her body that was originally stored in the deepest part.
It was only because of the contact with Gabriel's holy light that this part of the elemental power that was originally unusable and buried was activated.
What Orichalcum demonstrates is nothing more than the ability to guide and store the power of Holy Light and the elemental force possessed by the Son of God. It is impossible for it to allow a person to possess abilities that do not exist out of thin air.
In other words, the one who pays the price is not a human, but the holy light power originally stored in Gabriel's angel feather power.
If you want to solve this problem thoroughly, the goal will naturally become clear.
That is artificial holy light, or artificial elemental force.
Obviously, this is an extremely difficult goal that seems almost impossible to achieve at the moment.
"Sometimes I always feel that although you look so cute, the things you think in your heart are really too crazy."
The Son of God, who was sitting beside him, took the cup of tea handed to him by Xue Qing, took a sip, and raised his eyes slightly.
"General, aren't you afraid that this child you care about might have problems in the future?"
The general now sat directly next to Ning Qingxuan, and the two were very close. She was concentrating on the report on the screen in front of her, and she casually tapped on the holographic projection to respond.
"Qingxuan's thoughts are my thoughts."
Shen Zi rolled her eyes immediately, but soon she realized something was wrong.
"Little guy, you actually let the general work for you?"
"Any questions?" Ning Qingxuan casually swiped at the holographic projection in front of her, and an electronic document on it was swiped to the far right of the screen and disappeared. On the screen in front of the general, the report sent by Ning Qingxuan popped up directly from the left.
"If you're willing to share some of the burden with me, I'd be happy to do that."
"Forget it, forget it. I don't want to worry about these things. I finally get to live in this world without worrying about anything. I don't have to worry about the shrine, exorcism, or maintaining the ley lines. I'll just take this as a vacation."
Having said that, the Son of God still couldn't suppress his curiosity. He moved behind the general, stretched out his arms, passed them across the general's neck and placed them on her chest, and even simply pressed his entire body on the general's back.
The soft, fragrant and warm touch made the general and Ning Qingxuan pause for a moment.
The scene of the Mingshen group sticking together was beautiful, but Ning Qingxuan felt a little uncomfortable suppressing the constant and synchronized sensations from the general.
"Son of God, pay attention to your image."
"Hey, General, there are no outsiders here."
The Son of God didn't care about the general's little complaint. She even went so far as to rest her chin on the general's head and look at the holographic projection screen in front of the general.
"Oh? Are there already nobles preparing to attack that small village?"
On it was a secret report sent back by Yang Xingshu from the world of Akame ga Kill.
The prosperity of the small village finally attracted the covetousness of some nobles around. A noble named Hadrian, whose territory was close to the village, secretly bribed a group of bandits and prepared to let them rob the village.
The news was naturally sent back by the secret agent of Lanying Thorn who was beside Mr. Hadrian.
"Little guy, what are you going to do? Do you want me to help you?"
"I'm glad you don't cause any trouble. I heard there's a fox fairy legend in Chang'an recently? Jingzhao Yin's runners are so busy refuting rumors and handling various reports that their legs are almost broken."
"What? I just saw some cute little wild foxes in the suburbs and wanted to give them some advice. Unfortunately, they are just little foxes without any intelligence and have no chance to become immortals."
The daily bickering between the two had already become the norm, and this scene made the palace maids standing quietly beside them laugh secretly.
Now these little girls have even started discussing among themselves whether Miss Ying or Miss Shen Zi is more suitable to be the Crown Princess.
Xue Qing and Yun Xiao were naturally unshakable members of the Ying Xuan Party, but some of the young palace maids who were assigned to serve the Son of God gradually came together and formed the Hu Xuan Party. The two groups of palace maids were so happy to ship them as a couple.
And in the pure land of one heart, a certain empty-nest old shadow who had been secretly observing for a long time had already accumulated a lot of grievances that he had nowhere to vent.
"Damn it... Shen Zi, that guy, and the general, I'm here every day with a headache trying to figure out how to get you to come back..."
"You guys were having so much fun over there that you almost forgot about Inazuma!"
"Sure enough, one strike is not enough, how about a few more strikes... Damn it!"
In the castle tower, the Second Generation Shogun withdrew his attention from the crying and whimpering old shadow of the empty nest in Isshin Pure Land and sighed softly.
Inside, the wear and tear is severe again.
Sure enough, if Inazuma wants to achieve eternity, she has to rely on General Raiden!
Shadow and that "sister" are totally unreliable.
At this moment, the Second Generation General was full of fighting spirit and motivation.
