Genshin Impact: I am a high-ranking official from various countries

Chapter 248: Past Events (Forbidden Spells of Reincarnation)

"Immortal Reincarnation?" Zhongli repeated this unfamiliar name, his heart filled with confusion and curiosity, "Hmm... What is the principle of this technique?"

Chen Yue smiled and explained, "Immortality is a summoning technique I created after conducting in-depth research on the boundary between life and death and the nature of the soul. It summons the souls of the deceased and reshapes their bodies so that they can reappear in this world."

"First, I need some information about the body of the deceased. Then, I will use, uh... the body of a living creature as a container for the soul of the deceased. I will retrieve the soul of the deceased from the earth veins and bind it, so that the soul of the deceased can attach to the body of a living person."

"Then the body is covered with dust, which then transforms into the body of the deceased, thus achieving the effect of resurrecting the dead."

"But the strength of the dead summoned will not be as good as before, and I can also choose whether to retain the consciousness of recalling the soul. If I don't want to keep it, I will bury the kunai engraved with the talisman behind the dead's head."

"Then...are there any restrictions to this technique?" Zhongli asked tentatively. On the surface, his expression did not change, but in fact, his heart had already stirred up a huge wave.

Chen Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, although the Impure World Reincarnation is powerful, it is not without limitations. First of all, I must have enough information about the deceased's body as a medium for summoning, otherwise I will not be able to successfully recall the soul."

"Secondly, although the summoned dead have some of their powers in life, they cannot last for too long. At my current level, I can only allow them to exist for about half a month."

"Finally, this technique also has its moral and ethical considerations. After all, we are interfering with the cycle of life and death."

Zhongli nodded. He understood the limitations that Chen Yue mentioned, and also understood the possible consequences of this technique. He looked at Chen Yue deeply and said, "Knowing that interfering with the cycle of life and death is a taboo, why do you want to study this technique?"

Chen Yue's eyes became deep, and she said slowly: "The Second War of Teyvat is not far away. I studied the Impure World Reincarnation in order to make up for some regrets and reunite with them again. Although this is only temporary, at least I can let them say their last words, at least I can feel their presence again."

Zhongli was silent for a moment. He could understand Chen Yue's feelings. Knowing the future but unable to change it, he could only watch them disappear in front of him at some point in the future, and he could do nothing but silently redeem himself from some regrets. This might be something that no one could easily bear.

Patting Chen Yue on the shoulder, Zhong Li said in a serious tone: "Reincarnation is an eternal law of nature. We must not interfere with it recklessly. I hope you can be cautious when using this technique and don't take it lightly."

"And I sincerely hope that you will never need to use this technique. Therefore, this technique should not be passed down from generation to generation. Just bury it deep in the long river of history."

Chen Yue nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. I will use this technique with caution and try not to cause too much noise."

The two stood at the dock, and after a moment of silence, Chen Yue suddenly asked.

"Emperor, regarding the true story between me and the Thunder God..."

"If she has no objection, then I have no objection either. But you should know that the current system of the Seven Gods of Teyvat can also be regarded as a contract. If I find that you have violated the contract, even if you are an immortal under my seat, I will punish you mercilessly for breaking your promise."

......

There are still ten days until the Lantern Festival.

"Oh, from what you said, it seems Yixuan is also very famous in your Mond!"

With his chin in one hand, Kitsaigong looked at Wendy in front of him and expressed his interest.

"Hey, it's more than just fame! If he hadn't wanted to go to your place to play, he would probably still be in charge of Mondstadt now, and I, the God of Wind, would have nothing to do with it! Haha!"

Wendy responded with a laugh, holding up the wine flask.

"Oh my, I didn't expect that the Wind God of Mondstadt is so cool. You trust Yixuan so much, aren't you afraid that he will cause some big trouble in Mondstadt?"

Kitsaigong blinked and teased with a hint of joking.

"Ha, don't worry about that." Wendy took a sip of wine, a glimmer of confidence flashing in her eyes, "Although he is a man who doesn't play by the rules, I have to admit that he is quite efficient!"

"And let me tell you, that guy is not only efficient, but also a great painter! He painted two paintings for me that year, one called "The Fall of Lawrence" and the other called "The Rise of Mond"."

"Now those two paintings are still hanging in the most conspicuous place in the Knights of Favonius. I heard that he said that your status in Inazuma is not low. If you have the chance, you should exploit him well. You can sell him for a lot of money!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Zhaigong couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

"Haha, you, a god, are quite calculating. But this may disappoint you. His status in Inazuma is not low now, and you also know how big his appetite is. It is not certain who will have the final say at that time!" Kitsusai Palace blinked his eyes, with a hint of complacency on his face.

"Oh~ Indeed, indeed, the appetite is really big! I have already asked for the parents' consent in advance. You'd better be careful after the holiday, lest he whispers in Bal's ear every day!" Wendy raised her eyebrows, with a hint of ridicule in her tone.

"Don't bother yourself, Wind God, to worry about this. Foxes are very intelligent. Even though he is a fox now, he still can't beat me. Instead of worrying about this, you should think about what kind of wine to drink tomorrow and how to drain his wallet."

Husaigong put her hands on her hips, with a confident smile on her face. She was still very confident in her own strength.

"You are even worse than my bad friend. He is lucky to have a friend like you."

"What's the matter? This is his territory. What's wrong with me eating that little money? He said he treated me. Can you blame me? You can't blame me!"

As Hu Zhaigong spoke, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her eyes flashing with cunning and complacent light. She gently shook the fan in her hand, as if she had already seen the rich rewards waving to her.

"Yixuan is right. We really get along well. But by the way, did you see him today?"

"Oh, who knows? She just told me that she had something else to do. Maybe she's preparing a surprise. We can just watch and have fun then!"
