Genshin Impact: I, Heavenly Principle, Will Make Teyvat Supreme-Chapter 124: Saeko Busujima’s Vision

Jean gazed at the three hundred students before her, feeling a mix of emotions.

If this were Mondstadt, she would have conducted a selection process based on the standards of the Knights of Favonius.

The Skyward Blade had not triggered the Wind of Revelation, proving that none of them were evildoers. However, they were not yet true candidates for the Knights of Favonius either.

The holy mark on the back of her hand glowed, and emerald light descended upon them, transmitting a simplified version of the Favonius sword techniques and basic spells into their minds.

At the same time, the Skyward Blade emitted a humming sound, sending a small portion of Anemo energy into their bodies, forming a wind element sigil on their foreheads.

The Skyward Blade, a divine relic of Barbatos, could bestow minor blessings upon mortals. Though weakened, this blessing was a diluted version of Jean's Dandelion Breeze.

Even in its weakened form, combined with Favonius swordsmanship, it allowed them to dodge bullets and unleash sword beams—abilities that had only existed in legends.

The apprentice knights of the Western Knights' Order gasped in awe as they felt the mystical energy coursing through their bodies.

"Amazing! So incredible!"

"This is the power you used earlier?"

"Battle aura! The legendary battle aura!"

"Favonius swordsmanship is incredible! I feel like even the masters of kendo dojos wouldn't stand a chance against me now!"

Jean observed the excited apprentice knights and spoke solemnly: "This is not my power. It is a blessing from Barbatos, the God of Wind and Hope, who grants his protection to the kind-hearted. Only with the Anemo Archon's blessing can you truly learn swordsmanship and magic."

The apprentice knights listened intently, their expressions serious, as if they had already become true knights.

In this country, where anime culture thrived, they had grown up immersed in countless stories. Now, fiction had become reality.

They mimicked the knights from their favorite series, fully immersing themselves in the role.

Jean then began explaining the origins, principles, and structure of the Knights of Favonius.

Afterward, she personally trained them in Favonius swordsmanship and spellcasting.

With the knowledge implanted in their minds, they grasped the techniques quickly. After only two or three demonstrations, they were already proficient. In terms of combat ability, each of them could now take on a hundred undead single-handedly.

In just four to five hours since arriving in this world, Jean had established the foundation of the Knights of Favonius.

Every student had gained significant combat prowess. The next step was to raid the school's convenience store for food, rest, and then set out to rescue their families and others in need.

...

Jean stood before the assembled apprentice knights, who had formed two neat columns, and addressed them kindly.

"Next, each group of ten will go and rescue your families. Save those who are good along the way, and return here in three days."

The definition of 'good' had already been imprinted in their minds through the information transfer.

At this early stage of the apocalypse, ordinary people had not yet begun to commit atrocities. Those who deliberately chose to do evil at this point were the true villains.

Furthermore, the sigils on their foreheads would reveal evildoers, ensuring that the innocent would not suffer unjustly.

This function was based on Sumeru's Akasha Terminal, designed to expose villains and protect the righteous from needless harm.

The apprentice knights saluted in the standard Favonius manner and responded in unison: "Yes, Captain!"

Jean raised the Skyward Blade toward the sky. "Knights, move out!"

The apprentice knights, in groups of ten, sprinted toward the school gates. With the Anemo Archon's blessing, they moved as light as feathers, their speed rivaling Olympic sprinters.

However, one person remained behind.

Jean turned to see Saeko Busujima standing still, smiling warmly. "What's wrong, Saeko Busujima? Do you have a question for me?"

Saeko Busujima lifted her head, gripping her sword tightly. Her eyes carried a hint of hesitation. Taking a deep breath, she bit her lip and asked,

"Captain Jean, you said that Lord Barbatos' divine sword can judge good and evil, correct?"

Jean nodded. "Yes." She already knew what Saeko was going to ask, as the knowledge granted by the Heavenly Principle had prepared her for this moment.

"You want to ask why someone like you—who takes pleasure in violence and bloodshed—would still be deemed a good person by the gods, don't you?"

Saeko froze in place.

Jean shook her head. "Don't be surprised. To the gods, nothing in this world is a secret—including the hearts of people."

Saeko placed a hand over her chest, feeling her rapidly beating heart. That was true—Captain Jean was the savior sent by Lord Barbatos himself.

Hadn't that despicable teacher also been forced to reveal his true thoughts under the wind's judgment?

Perhaps the gods were watching right now.

Saeko took deep breaths, her body trembling. It was as if she was both fearful and exhilarated, her face flushing red. "Y-yes, that's exactly it."

Then, she confessed everything.

Four years ago, on a dark night, she was attacked by a stranger—a depraved man.

However, instead of resisting immediately, she pretended to be frightened, luring the man closer. Then, when he lowered his guard, she struck, breaking every bone in his body with a metal pipe.

In that moment, she had felt an unparalleled sense of joy.

After opening this Pandora's box, she deliberately lured similar predators, unleashing her violence upon them.

And as a student who had been followed by such criminals, even if she broke all their limbs, it would only be considered excessive self-defense. Apart from paying some medical fees, she would face no true punishment.

"This is the real me. Saeko Busujima's true nature—someone intoxicated by power and reveling in it."

As she spoke, Saeko turned her gaze toward Jean's divine sword, as if confessing directly to the gods.

"Someone like me, with such a twisted heart—am I truly considered a good person by the gods?"

When she finished speaking, her breaths came in ragged gasps.

Jean smiled warmly at Saeko, as if she were a confidant rather than a judge.

"Saeko Busujima, the ones you harmed were those who harbored ill intentions toward you, correct?"

Recalling the will of the Heavenly Principle, Jean continued,

"To the heavens, if evil is not eradicated, it will only bring suffering to the innocent. The gods judge actions, not thoughts. What you have done has indirectly saved others. If you hadn't broken the limbs of those criminals, another victim would have surely emerged."

"You did the right thing. In this new world, the heavens will not permit the existence of evildoers. So, there's no need for you to doubt yourself any longer."

As Saeko listened to Jean's words, her anxiety and fear dissipated. Her eyes shone with newfound clarity.

"I was right..."

"Evil must be eradicated, or the innocent will suffer..."

"The gods judge actions, not thoughts..."

Saeko had finally come to terms with her true self. Taking a deep breath, she bowed deeply to Jean at a ninety-degree angle.

"Yes, I understand now. Thank you, Captain Jean."

"In this new world, evildoers have no place. I will use my blade to eliminate every single one of them!"

Hummm—

At that very moment, a gentle glow enveloped her.

Saeko froze.

Before her eyes, the light converged, and from its brilliance, a Vision materialized, slowly floating before her chest.

[Do you wish to rid the world of every evildoer?]

[Then, live freely with my blessing.]

A gentle voice echoed in her ears. Saeko Busujima's eyes widened slightly in confusion. Unconsciously, she reached out her hand, and the Vision slowly descended into her grasp.

The information provided by Captain Jean included knowledge about Visions.

When a person's noble desire reaches a certain intensity, the heavens take notice and bestow a Vision upon them.

Captain Jean was one such individual chosen by the gods.

Those who obtain a Vision become Genshin. When their wish progresses to a certain stage, they are granted the qualifications to become a god candidate.

Once their wish is fully realized, they ascend to the divine realm amidst the blessings of countless people, becoming a true god.

Saeko came back to her senses, looking at the Vision in her hand. The divine blessing still lingered in her ears, as if the heavens had not yet withdrawn their gaze.

She had been blessed by the heavens.

A profound sense of happiness filled her heart, overwhelming her with emotion.

Saeko's cheeks flushed red—she was trembling with excitement.

Jean, too, was momentarily stunned. This was her first time witnessing the actual moment a Vision appeared. Her own Vision had simply materialized in her pouch when she came to understand the true meaning of Gunnhildr's eternal duty to protect Mondstadt.

Regaining her composure, Jean warmly congratulated her: "Congratulations, Saeko Busujima. Your wish has been acknowledged by the heavens."

Saeko expressed her gratitude sincerely: "It was thanks to you for guiding me. I will never forget this debt of kindness."

She then pressed the Vision against the back of her hand, just as Jean had done before.

The Vision transformed into light and merged into her skin, forming an intricate sword-shaped sigil.

"Now, I will go to the city and purge the wicked."

Gripping her sword, Saeko turned and sprinted toward the school gates.

She could feel the surging power coursing through her veins—far beyond the strength granted by the Anemo Archon's blessing.

With her years of swordsmanship training, this newfound power would allow her to perform feats akin to the legendary Sword Saints, capable of slicing waterfalls in two.

Jean gazed at the distant, once-prosperous city and felt an unprecedented weight of responsibility settle upon her shoulders.

Lowering her gaze to the Skyward Blade in her hands, she contemplated the stark contrast between this world and Teyvat.

This world lacked divine guidance, and its human civilization was drastically different. Though its firearms were not as terrifying as Khaenri'ah's technology,

There was one weapon capable of rivaling a god's strike.

And in just a matter of days, such weapons would be launched from a superpower's base, aiming to contain the undead virus within this nation's borders.

However, this action would instead accelerate the virus's spread. In just 30 days, the entire world would be engulfed.

Humanity would be reduced by 99%.

As time progressed, increasing survival crises and evolving undead would ensure that, within decades, humanity would face total extinction.

Jean knelt on one knee, clasping the Skyward Blade in both hands, and prayed with unwavering devotion.

"Lord Heavenly Principle, Lord Barbatos, I, Jean Gunnhildr, beseech you—please grant the Skyward Blade the power to stop the nuclear strike."

[Rest assured, Jean. Even if every nuclear bomb on this planet were to descend upon your land, the Skyward Blade would intercept them all.]

A gentle voice resonated in her mind. Jean's expression grew even more devout. "Thank you for your protection, Lord Heavenly Principle."

Though she remained devoted to Lord Barbatos, her faith in this great protector of humanity had grown even stronger.

...

Meanwhile, the apprentice knights had boarded buses and entered the city.

Most of them were residents of this metropolis, and they disembarked in order according to the proximity of their homes.

Everywhere, people had turned into undead. The words of the gods had made it clear to all—doomsday had arrived.

The entire city's legal order had completely collapsed. Some rioters, having already killed both people and undead alike, had fully embraced their violent urges, their eyes now bloodshot with madness.

This country's yakuza had always been legally recognized, and without the constraints of law, they now acted with complete abandon.

Fear and the apocalyptic atmosphere had fully unleashed humanity's darkest impulses.

Explosions, gunfire, the sound of blades slicing through flesh, terrified screams, guttural roars, and honking car horns filled the air in an endless cacophony of chaos.

Meanwhile, what remained of the city's police force had locked down every entrance and exit.

As the masterminds behind the undead virus, the nation's high-ranking officials had ordered the city's complete quarantine the moment the outbreak began.

No one was allowed to leave. No one was allowed to enter.

[Repeating: Citizens, please follow the instructions and proceed in an orderly manner.]

[The entire city is now under traffic control. Crossing the river without authorization will result in legal penalties. Pedestrian crossings are also prohibited.]

Every checkpoint was packed with desperate people trying to flee. Fully armed riot police used shields to force back those already infected.

"Damn it, let me through!"

"Get out of the way, cops!"

"Ahhh! Help me!"

Citizens who defied police orders were blasted back by high-pressure water cannons, their screams ringing out as they were thrown to the ground.

The roar of attack helicopters and fighter jets echoed above the city.

[Even if they are family, if they attack, you must leave them behind.]

[Anyone injured or showing signs of aggression will not be permitted through.]

A reporter, visibly trembling, spoke into the camera as they broadcast live.

"The unknown virus is rapidly spreading throughout Tokonosu City. Those infected are turning into the zombies we've only seen in movies."

"The infected become walking corpses, and anyone wounded by them will also be transformed in a short time!"

"The western part of Tokonosu City has already been sealed off..."

"The cause of the virus remains unknown, but at the moment of the outbreak, the entire city experienced divine phenomena."

"The gods have declared that the world has entered its final days."

"According to reports, this virus is not exclusive to our country—it has begun spreading worldwide."

"Some citizens criticize the government's lockdown measures, arguing that they are ineffective in stopping the virus from reaching the rest of the world."

"In addition, our headquarters has also been affected by the outbreak, but we will continue to report on Tokonosu City via satellite broadcasting for as long as possible."

A police official frantically dialed his phone: "Damn it, what do you mean there's no reinforcements? Are you telling us to fend for ourselves? Do you have any idea—"

"Damn it! The signal's cut off!"

"What do we do now, Section Chief? So many of our officers have been infected!"

"Shut up and do your job!"

As time passed, more and more civilians gathered at the blocked checkpoints.

The sheer density of the crowd led to new outbreaks—infected individuals suddenly transformed into undead and started attacking those around them. Panic erupted as the masses surged against the barricades in desperation.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

"Ahhhhhh!"

Riot police holding shields and wielding water cannons desperately tried to force the crowd back.

"Everyone, fall back! If you continue advancing, we will take action!"

The officers stationed behind the barricades raised their firearms.

At that moment, a blinding white light exploded across the bridge. The iron barricades, meant to keep the city sealed, were instantly sliced in half. A violent gust of wind followed, sending the chaotic crowd sprawling to either side.

"Ahhhhhhh!"

Terrified screams filled the air.

The police officers were stunned.

"What just happened?!"

Then they saw her—a girl in a sailor uniform, wielding a gleaming sword, her body enveloped in an ethereal green glow—as she strode towards them.
