Genshin Impact: The God Incarnate

Originally, Vorthis was assigned this task by Guizhong and Morax, thinking it was incredibly dull.

It was nothing more than a change of location for him to continue slacking off.

However, as the city's construction progressed step by step, Vorthis found himself more and more interested in the matter.

With Vorthis around, the surrounding beasts and gods, sensing his powerful aura, didn't dare to enter the area at all.

This allowed the citizens to peacefully and steadily carry on with their construction work.

Since Vorthis spent three months practicing Go, only to realize there was no significant improvement in his skills, he had lost interest in the game.

Now, he had found something that piqued his interest far more.

He set a regular schedule for his cultivation and, once in that state, completely lost track of time.

Weeks passed in the blink of an eye.

Every month after practicing, Vorthis would stop, open his eyes, and survey the progress of the city's construction from the sky.

Watching the city's progress every day was extremely boring, making time feel like it was crawling.

But if he only looked at the city once a month?

The changes were far more noticeable.

It felt like watching a 3D animated film about the city's construction.

Except, Vorthis was watching a real-life version being played out.

The city's foundation had already been fully compacted.

With current construction techniques being limited, lacking steel and concrete, this was already the most perfect state they could achieve.

The outer city walls were also under construction, and a glimpse of their shape could already be seen.

In the original history of Guili Plains, there had been no city walls.

But now, things were different.

It didn't hurt to see who the chief designer of this city-building project was!

Vorthis was currently the only architect among the three gods, so naturally, the task of designing the city's blueprints fell on his shoulders.

Although Vorthis had been slacking off a bit, he was still very dedicated to things that interested him.

The towering city walls, majestic city gates, orderly city planning, and bustling city streets.

Even the sewers and drainage ditches were part of the design.

Originally, Vorthis had planned to make the design even more detailed, adding more features.

But Guizhong had stopped him.

After all, these designs required human hands to build. Unlike Vorthis, who could use his Authority of Manifestation to directly summon a city out of thin air with his power.

With his current strength, creating a city from scratch was definitely possible, though it would consume a lot of energy.

The real challenge was the mental effort required, as every single detail of the city needed to be imagined and created by himself.

Otherwise, relying on pure thought could result in unreasonable copies or weird, yet somehow plausible, solutions.

It felt like AI-generated artwork…

Three months later.

The city gates in the north, south, west, and east had all been completed.

The connecting city walls had also started construction intermittently, and in some areas, the walls were already beginning to take shape.

After more than six months of intense labor, many workers had accumulated some hidden injuries.

These weren't obvious yet and didn't show on the surface.

But as time went on, when they reached middle age, these hidden injuries would all flare up.

Although the city's construction was meant to provide them with a home, it didn't need to be of such a large scale.

Vorthis did bear some responsibility for that, but the issue was not too serious.

Vorthis caused white light rain to fall from the sky. "Is it raining?"

At first, seeing the rain, people instinctively wanted to stop working and find shelter.

They planned to continue once the rain passed.

But soon, people realized something was off with this rain.

"Why is the rain glowing?"

"This isn't right, this is the divine manifestation of Lord God Of Feather!"

"Yes, I've seen Lord God Of Feather's power before. This is definitely His divine manifestation!"

Among the crowd, some people recognized the rain as being a sign of Vorthis's power.

There was no mistaking it—his signature was unmistakable.

White, gentle light.

As a god, within a hundred miles, only Vorthis had such a distinctive power.

The crowd bathed in the rain of divine manifestation.

All their fatigue vanished, and all their hidden injuries were healed.

Vorthis planned to summon this divine rain every six months, until the city's construction was complete, after which he would release the final divine rain.

"So warm!"

"It feels like all the fatigue has disappeared."

"This is a blessing from God of Feather!"

"Thank you, God of Feather!"

After the divine rain, voices of gratitude echoed across the construction site.

Everyone was thanking Vorthis.

A faint smile appeared on Vorthis's face, though he knew that they had earned it.

But who doesn't like praise?

In any case, Vorthis couldn't avoid it.

After the city gates were completed, labor was redirected from the city wall construction to the city's interior work.

The first area to begin construction was the residential district.

Once the residential district was finished, it would be the first area inhabited, no longer forcing people to stay in the makeshift camps outside.

Houses were far more comfortable than camp shelters.

The city walls were not a priority. Besides protecting against wild beasts and some demonic creatures, their main role was psychological.

After all, powerful demons could easily leap over the walls and attack the city, not to mention a god.

But this situation was rare.

Because Morax would intervene.

However, Vorthis was determined not to let the city walls be mere decorations. Once the construction was complete, he would inscribe runes on the walls. These runes would activate when the city was attacked, forming a protective shield around the city.

As for how these runes would work?

Vorthis himself wasn't entirely sure, it was something one had to understand intuitively, but under the influence of Authority of Manifestation, even a few casual strokes could achieve the same effect.

It would just consume more energy.

The closer the manifestation was to reality, the less energy it consumed. The more it leaned towards imagination, the more energy it required.

Time flowed on, and Vorthis sat upon the clouds, watching the transformation of the city below.

As for how he was able to sit on the clouds? That came from the power of Authority of Manifestation.
