Chapter 91: Ye's Preparations

Words : 1076 Updated : Sep 21st, 2025

The explosive plot twist left everyone stunned. No one could have predicted that this chapter, which seemed to follow a predictable storyline, would deliver such a massive surprise at the end. The beginning was expected, the progression was expected, but the final outcome was completely unexpected—yet it left everyone exhilarated. The confrontation between the Supreme Bishop and the Mountain and Sea Fairy became a hot topic of discussion. Countless players debated who was stronger, and this debate naturally extended to whether Furina or Zhongli was more powerful. Some believed Furina was stronger, arguing that if she weren't, how could she keep Fontaine's traitors in check? From a narrative perspective, this seemed reasonable. Others argued that Zhongli was stronger, given that he was the oldest Archon and that Genshin Impact was a Chinese game—it wouldn't make sense for Liyue's god to be weaker than others. While this reasoning came from outside the story, it also seemed valid. Everyone had their own opinion, and players were always passionate about discussing power levels. It was entirely normal for such debates to generate tens of thousands of comments and top the trending charts. After all, Genshin Impact had hundreds of millions of players. As for Ye, the one who sparked this debate... he watched with great amusement as players argued over whether Furina or Zhongli was stronger, racking up tens of thousands of comments. Ye was particularly looking forward to the Fontaine storyline, where Furina's true power would be revealed. He couldn't wait to see how players would react when they looked back on this debate. Life was like a play, and it all came down to acting. Ye felt that Furina should be grateful to him, as he had single-handedly elevated her prestige. No player would ever doubt Furina's strength now. He had to admit, he was truly loyal to Lady Furina. Without her even asking, he had raised her status. Was there anyone more devoted than him? Absolutely not. If only he could mention this to Furina, he would love to receive some kind of reward from her. Nothing too extravagant—just something tangible. Like having her perform an opera for him. After all, while Furina often performed on stage, "often" was relative on a 500-year timescale. It had been three years since her last performance, and Ye genuinely missed it. While reminiscing, Ye turned his attention to another thread that had garnered over ten thousand comments. "Who is this woman? I need all her information in three seconds!" This, of course, referred to the new Inazuma character who appeared in the final animated short. Naturally, this was Ye's new alternate account, named Sen'emon. This account was equivalent to Fischl in Mondstadt and Longhua in Liyue. Unlike Fischl, whose backstory borrowed from existing lore, Sen'emon's character was entirely new. This was because Inazuma didn't have any existing characters whose hidden backstories could be expanded upon without feeling forced. However, Sen'emon wasn't given the same godly status as Longhua, as it was better to avoid repeating character archetypes. Each character should have their own unique traits. Thus, Sen'emon was designed as a human—a true genius among humans. Not the kind of genius people casually label others as, but a true gift from the heavens. Wait, a gift from the heavens? Well, not from Celestia. Ye's idea of "heavens" referred to... Baoyu. Yes, with enough popularity, Baoyu was omnipotent. Calling her the heavens wasn't far-fetched—she was all-powerful, after all, as long as she had enough popularity. And thanks to Ye's efforts, he had no shortage of popularity. So, he directly exchanged some of that popularity to grant Sen'emon a "talent." Yes, just a "talent." Think of it like Nanami Yasuri from Katanagatari. Of course, due to the difference in worldviews, Sen'emon wasn't born as the strongest. However, even so, with her extraordinary talent, she had grown into one of the most powerful beings in the world—the pinnacle of human potential. She didn't rely on any external powers but instead maximized the latent potential within the human body. Similarly, due to the difference in worldviews, Sen'emon didn't suffer from divine punishment like Nanami Yasuri, who was born with ten billion deadly viruses in her body. Thanks to the Electro Archon's blessing, such issues were resolved—or at least suppressed. This backstory was designed to give Sen'emon a loyal personality, setting the stage for future plot developments. Sen'emon's character was defined by her pride, her love for battle, and her pursuit of becoming the strongest. Her ultimate goal was to surpass all others, both in the mortal realm and in the heavens. Despite this, she held absolute loyalty to the Raiden Shogun. Sen'emon saw herself as a blade wielded by the Shogun. While she had her own will and desires, she would always follow the Shogun's commands and fulfill her wishes. This was the most crucial aspect of her character. For now, this was just a teaser for the players. The finer details of her character would be fleshed out as the Inazuma storyline progressed. But that would happen soon enough. Ye had already settled in Inazuma, waiting for his official debut. With the groundwork laid, it was time to prepare his own banner. Originally, the Inazuma storyline was planned to span two versions, 2.0 and 2.1. Ye decided to increase the difficulty for the Traveler by extending the main storyline to three versions: 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2. The additional version would feature banners for both himself and Sen'emon. Sen'emon's character card was already complete, but Ye was still undecided about his own. He had prepared several templates but was hesitant about which one to use. However, after seeing the players' intense reactions to the recent storyline, he finally made up his mind. The gaming industry in this world was indeed behind the times, and Genshin Impact was essentially unrivaled. Given that, it was safe to be a little more ambitious. Ye finalized his 5-star character card and took one last look. [??? : Ye] Profile: Ye CV: Ye Birthday: January 1st Affiliation: Furina ??? : ???
