Genshin Impact: Supreme Justice of Teyvat - Chapter 9

Chapter Nine: The Forbidden Being Awakened from the River of Time

“Forgotten by the world…”

The commander was stunned after hearing this phrase. Why would he be forgotten by the world?

The world isn’t human—how could it possibly remember someone’s name?

Could he mean that this person once had immense glory in a past era? But no one had ever heard of a powerful being wearing a faceless mask.

Could he come from an even older time?

It’s been so many ages; even the oldest of times should have been washed away by the river of time.

“We survived!”

The other survivors looked at the countless spider corpses on the ground and couldn’t help but cheer in relief.

They had thought they were going to be the food for these twisted spiders, but suddenly, a mysterious powerful being had appeared and wiped out all the monsters!

Although the person’s abilities were strange and terrifying, power doesn’t dictate character—no matter how sinister the power, it was still under someone’s control!

A large man exhaled in relief and said,

“Finally, no more death! That was terrifying!”

An excited awakened girl said,

“He’ll be my idol from now on! I want to be the wife of a strong person like him!”

Her best friend couldn’t help but tease,

“You’re probably thinking of peach eating (peach refers to a woman, hinting at sexual desire). A powerful man like him would never lack women. Even if you offered yourself to sleep with him, he wouldn’t even look at you!”

“Ahhh, Li Tongtong, you always ruin my plans! I’ll make you submit!”

“Yuan Jing, I’m not scared of you! You’ve never beaten me in a fight!”

The girl immediately became furious and began to playfully argue with her best friend. The other survivors couldn’t help but smile at the scene!

They were all alive—such a relief!

But with admiration, naturally, came questions:

“Why is this mysterious strong person holding a balloon?”

The group fell silent. Why would such a powerful being hold a toy like a balloon?

Could it be that becoming strong came with some special preferences?

The commander wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiling as he said,

“Maybe it’s some kind of commemorative item.”

The others nodded, not dismissing this possibility.

The girl named Li Tongtong made her own guess:

“Maybe it’s to bring back to his kids. Warm and powerful—what a perfect man! I really want to see what he looks like under that mask…”

As they were discussing, a presence suddenly appeared behind the commander. Before he could turn around, a figure was already standing next to him.

“Has the evil god ritual ended?”

A deep, resonant voice echoed. This was a middle-aged man dressed in a dark green military uniform, with a tall frame and a square jaw, speaking in a slow tone but with immense confidence!

Upon seeing this person, everyone straightened up and respectfully said,

“Colonel Li!”

This man with the square jaw was Li Xuan, the strongest person in Hang City, a Morning Star-level existence, the legendary one-man army!

In this world where power ruled, a Morning Star-level being, if unchallenged by others of the same rank, could easily destroy a city by breaking through its defenses.

Not only was Colonel Li Xuan a Morning Star, but he also controlled the military of Hang City, the protector of millions!

Li Xuan nodded in response to their salute and turned to the commander, softly asking,

“I received your distress signal and rushed back. How is the situation? Did the spider priest escape?”

Li Xuan had prepared himself mentally for Hang City’s destruction. However, upon entering, he found that only the northern district had been affected.

No spider monsters had appeared, and even the spider priest had vanished without a trace. Had their movements become that swift?

The commander didn’t hesitate and quickly described everything that had happened, emphasizing the words the masked figure had left behind!

“Forgotten by the world…”

Li Xuan repeated the phrase, and his face suddenly changed. The commander, nervous, asked,

“Colonel, is something wrong?”

Li Xuan’s face became serious as he nodded, replying gravely,

“If what he said is true, and considering his nonchalant tone towards the evil god, then there’s a strong possibility he is a forbidden existence!”

Zhou Zheng, confused, asked,

“Forbidden existence? But he only showed Morning Star-level power. Why would you call him forbidden…?”

“Foolish, at such a level of power, one can precisely control every ounce of strength. He did this all to avoid harming you,” Li Xuan said with certainty, though in his heart, he had another suspicion he didn’t voice.

He had just checked the twisted spider and the spider priest’s corpses, and not only had their body moisture been drained, but all their vitality and souls had also been taken!

Such terrifying power was far beyond Morning Star-level. When considering that the being hadn’t even unleashed his full power, this person could very well have just awoken from an eternal slumber, still not fully restored to his former strength!

For he had once heard his teacher say that certain beings who reach the forbidden realm can only be killed by erasing all traces of their existence.

Otherwise, if anyone speaks their name, they will revive from the depths of time and space, reclaiming their power and authority!

Realizing this, Li Xuan’s gaze grew serious. He knew he was carrying an important message. He turned and left, intending to return to the office to upload all the information to the higher-ups at headquarters.

As for Zhou Zheng, he was tasked with overseeing the restoration and aftermath of Hang City’s northern district. All the spider corpses were to be sent to the laboratory for sampling!

Zhou Zheng scratched his head, self-doubt creeping in as he muttered,

“Does a forbidden existence also buy balloons? Maybe I’ll go buy one too!”

Meanwhile, Lu Yu had no idea that his identity had already upgraded from an ancient powerful being to a forbidden existence who had crawled out of the river of time!

Right now, he was rushing to do something important!
