In Genshin Impact: I accidentally ruined the Seven Gods

Chapter 279 Replacing the Eye of God

I tossed and turned in bed for a while, and it was already dusk outside.

It's time for dinner.

"Go to Wanmintang and order first. I still have some things to take care of."

Shiraki got up and realized that someone seemed to be looking for him at his doorstep.

Okay, what do you want to eat?

"Just order whatever you like."

The Great Tree King nodded and walked down one after the other with Bai Mu.

As Bai Mu expected, there were two people waiting for him at the door when he opened the tightly closed door.

Upon seeing Bai Mu, both the old man and the young man showed a look of joy on their faces.

"You two? Are you family?"

Looking at Lin Sheng and Lin Changxian standing in front of him, Bai Mu felt that there were quite a few coincidences in this world.

Although Lin Sheng and Lin Changxian both share the surname Lin, Bai Mu never imagined that they would be family.

After all, Lin Changxian possessed immortal-level combat power, while Lin Sheng's family was in business. These two completely different identities would not lead anyone to associate them.

"Shopkeeper!"

"My lord."

Lin Sheng called out to Bai Mu in surprise, and Lin Changxian also bowed to Bai Mu.

Because Shiraki felt that the title "Your Majesty" was a bit awkward, he had his followers change it to something else.

But now he feels that the title "My Lord" seems even more awkward.

However, Lin Changxian did not notice the slight awkwardness in Bai Mu's heart. At this moment, he was surprised that his descendant actually knew Bai Mu.

Lin Sheng's lineage is the only one among Lin Changxian's descendants who engages in business. As merchants, their personal martial prowess is very limited.

While it's possible for members of other clans to lend a hand in some matters, this isn't a long-term solution.

It just so happens that Lin Sheng's family businesses are mostly located in Liyue Harbor, and Bai Mu happens to be in Liyue Harbor right now.

Lin Changxian planned to have Lin Sheng, the heir, become familiar with Bai Mu so that it would be easier for him to act in the future.

"Grandpa, do you know Shopkeeper Bai too?"

Lin Sheng didn't hear clearly how Lin Changxian addressed Bai Mu. He only knew that Lin Changxian had also greeted Bai Mu, which was why he asked the question.

"Yeah...right."

“I have always admired this shop owner, Mr. Bai.”

Upon hearing Lin Sheng's address to Bai Mu, Lin Changxian realized that Lin Sheng was unaware of Bai Mu's identity.

Therefore, he did not reveal Bai Mu's identity to Lin Sheng.

"Wow, I didn't expect the shop owner to be so amazing. Even your great-grandfather admires him so much."

Lin Sheng's eyes sparkled.

He had always thought the shop owner was a capable person, but he never expected the shop owner to be this capable.

Even his great-grandfather greatly admired the shop owner.

"You wanted to bring him to see me, right? If so, there's no need. I've always thought highly of this kid."

Bai Mu glanced at the grandmother and grandson at the door and got a general idea of ​​what was going on.

"Master... Mr. Bai, since you know this young man, I won't bother you any longer. I'll take him back with me first."

"Wait a minute, I have an opportunity to give this kid."

Shiraki called out to the grandmother and grandson, and led them into the store.

Sitting on the bench that Bai Mu had given them, the grandfather and grandson looked at Bai Mu expectantly.

Lin Changxian was even more excited than Lin Sheng himself about the opportunity Bai Mu mentioned.

"Give me your Eye of God."

Bai Mu pointed at Lin Sheng.

Without hesitation, Lin Sheng handed the Grass Elemental Eye hanging from his waist to Bai Mu.

Looking at the Liyue-style Eye of God in his hand, Shiraki fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Bai Mu was deep in thought, the grandfather and grandson did not dare to disturb him.

Bai Mu recalled everything he knew about the Eye of God. The Great Tree King had said that the Seven Gods could not control the Eye of God, but could only interfere slightly, and even that interference was very limited.

Furthermore, the Great Tree King explicitly told Shiraki that the Eye of God was a hidden danger.

Shiraki largely agreed with this statement, since it was normal for something that came from Sky Island and was beyond their control to have some hidden dangers.

For this reason, Bai Mu plans to help Lin Sheng eliminate the hidden danger, that is, to help him sever his connection with the Eye of God.

"I intend to replace the power of this Eye of God with my own. What do you think?"

Bai Mu looked at Lin Changxian and asked with a deep gaze.

Bai Mu didn't ask Lin Sheng, but went directly to Lin Changxian.

Because he knew that Lin Sheng probably wouldn't understand even if he asked, so asking would be pointless.

"this…"

Upon hearing this, Lin Changxian did not immediately agree on behalf of Lin Sheng; instead, he seemed somewhat hesitant.

If Shiraki were to replace his power, he would definitely notify the authorities without hesitation.

Lin Changxian understood very well that the quality of his power was far inferior to Bai Mu's divine power.

But Lin Sheng's Eye of God is different.

The power of the Eye of God comes from the Seven Gods. Although Bai Mu is strong, Lin Changxian does not know that Bai Mu's strength comes from the authority of "creation".

He believed that Shiraki's immense power stemmed from his faith, and that the power generated by faith could not compare to the power of governance.

That's why Lin Changxian hesitated on this matter.

But then he realized a problem.

There's no way Shiramu wouldn't have thought of a problem that even he could.

Knowing this problem, Bai Mu still wants to replace Lin Sheng's power...

"Excuse my boldness, but how does your power compare to that of a ruler?"

Lin Changxian stood up and bowed respectfully to Bai Mu.

As a believer, this is a very rash question.

"Oh, that's what you're worried about."

Bai Mu waved his hand, gesturing for Lin Changxian to sit down again. He didn't think Lin Changxian's question was presumptuous.

Three chess-piece-like objects were floating in Bai Mu's hand. Upon seeing these three "chess pieces," Lin Changxian's pupils suddenly contracted.

"This is the power of the three ruling forces: wind, rock, and grass."

Shiraki slightly activated the power of the Heart of God.

He then extended his other hand, and four forces of different intensities appeared in it.

One streak of milky white, one streak of dark red, one streak of multicolored, and one streak of grayish white.

"This is my power."

Feeling the different levels of power emanating from Bai Mu's two hands, Lin Changxian's heart began to tremble.

Of the four powers Bai Mu gave, Lin Changxian could only recognize one: the milky-white power of faith. He knew nothing about the other powers.

Although the power of faith was much weaker than the power emanating from the Heart of God, the remaining three powers that Lin Changxian did not recognize were in no way inferior to the Heart of God.

Even the weakest dark red power has reached the level of the Heart of God, and the other two have even surpassed the Heart of God.

Especially that grayish-white power; even just sensing it gave Lin Changxian a feeling of being abandoned by the world, as if he would disappear from this world completely in the next second.

"Choose one of these three powers for him."

Bai Mu withdrew his faith power and the three divine hearts, then placed the remaining three powers in the void, quietly awaiting Lin Changxian's choice.
