Genshin Impact: The God Incarnate

Chapter 43: Chapter 44: City Construction



Vorthis watched as everyone entered the large box.

He flew upwards.

First, he used divine power to close the door that had been opened on the box.

Even though the box had closed, the interior space, illuminated by the Noctilucous Jade, remained brightly lit, and the people inside did not feel afraid.

They marveled at the great power of their divine lord.

"Rise!"

Vorthis raised his right hand in a lifting gesture, and light emitted from his hand, signaling the manifestation of authority's power.

Fantasy becomes manifestation.

He imagined an invisible force, lifting the entire super-large box.

The box slightly shook.

Then, the connection between the box's bottom and the ground separated, and the box floated into the air!

It ascended directly into the sky.

Vorthis stood at the top of the box, expression calm.

While others used flying swords, Vorthis was different.

He controlled the box to fly!

His flying speed was much faster than walking on the ground, and it was not affected by the terrain.

However, Vorthis did not use his fastest speed.

If the speed were too high, he feared that the people inside the box might not withstand the overload.

Surrounding scenery passed by rapidly, and soon they had left the mountainous and hilly area, arriving at the gradually flat plains.

The destination was Guili Plains, where the city was to be built.

Vorthis' responsibility was to escort the construction team to the planned site.

The area and city site were similar to the original location of Guili Plains from Liyue's history, though the name was changed to Guizoli City.

"It seems we have arrived."

Vorthis glanced at the terrain, confirming that he had successfully brought everyone to the destination.

Luckily, his decision to fly the box proved wise.

Otherwise, they would still be on the way.

"Land."

With Vorthis' control, the super-large box slowly descended towards the ground, landing smoothly and securely without any incidents.

It was unclear how the people inside the box felt at that moment.

After the box landed, Vorthis opened the side that could be opened.

Huang Yu seemed to have already prepared, waiting by the door before it even opened.

"Lord God of Feather!" Huang Yu greeted.

Vorthis nodded slightly.

"Hmm, how are things inside?"

Huang Yu replied, "Most people feel fine, though some are experiencing nausea."

Nausea?

It wasn't a major problem; it was probably just motion sickness.

Vorthis nodded.

"We've arrived at the construction site. Get ready, and those who are feeling sick should rest for a bit; it's nothing serious."

The people trusted Vorthis' words completely.

Since God of Feather had said there was no problem, they had no doubts. Even if there were any issues, it wouldn't be because of the divine lord.

The people unloaded all the goods and vehicles from the box and began setting up a temporary camp for shelter and living in the flat area. After all, building a city was not something that could be done overnight; it would take a long time. Before the city was built, they needed a place to live and take shelter from the elements.

It wasn't clear whether the sounds of setting up camp were too loud or if the super-box was too conspicuous, but some wild beasts nearby began to approach.

However, once they sensed the aura of Vorthis as the Demon God, they suddenly froze in shock and hurriedly ran in the opposite direction.

Vorthis naturally noticed this.

It wasn't a big problem. He didn't even need to clear the surrounding threats himself.

By nightfall, the camp was set up.

After a satisfying meal, the guards stayed on watch while everyone else went to bed to rest.

Tomorrow, they would begin building their city.

Thus, it was important to rest and prepare for the work ahead.

The night in the wild was dangerous, but with God of Feather's protection, everything seemed peaceful.

The people slept soundly, even more so than usual.

As for Vorthis, what was he doing at this moment? Was he vigilantly watching over the surroundings, ensuring the safety of his people?

At this moment, Vorthis sat at the top of the box, where he had set up a table in front of him.

On the table were a bottle of ice-cold soda and a simple Go board (easy difficulty).

"Do you recognize this formation?"

Vorthis raised the corner of his mouth, speaking with a hint of pride.

It seemed that he, at this moment, was a Go master.

With his superior intelligence, he had set up a formation and trapped the enemy inside it, ultimately achieving victory!

The game ended with the final stone placed.

...

This situation had lasted for three months.

Vorthis had hoped that, through accumulated experience from multiple battles, he would gradually become a Go master and eventually defeat Morax.

But when the last stone fell, Morax's face showed astonishment!

"You, you're not Vorthis!"

Vorthis... how could he possibly defeat me within the rules?!

Fantasy was beautiful, but reality was often cruel.

Three months had passed, accumulating experience and skills, but Vorthis had yet to escape the nightmare of the simple Go AI mode.

In these three months, Vorthis made no significant progress, but this did not mean that the city's construction had not advanced.

During this time, Vorthis had made several trips between Liyue and Guizoli City (under construction), bringing more people and supplies.

The terrain of the entire city area had been leveled.

One could only admire human ingenuity.

Vorthis had already observed the application of mechanical devices and labor-saving designs in the construction process.

But then again, it made sense.

Long before, ancient Egyptians had built the miraculous pyramids in the desert.

Moreover, this was Teyvat, a world filled with incredible powers.

Leveling the ground was only the first step.

If the ground were leveled and buildings were constructed on it, those buildings would be like trees without roots.

Foundations were necessary.

A house without a foundation might seem fine, but who knew when the Demon God War would start? When that happened, the whole area would be filled with battles at the level of Demon Gods.

The ground would tremble from the aftershocks of battles, and a slight mistake could result in a massive rift being formed.

Thus, laying a solid foundation was of utmost importance.
