Genshin Impact: Transmigrated as Furina's Second Personality

On this day, Liyue Harbor was under strict lockdown.

The streets were lined with Millelith soldiers clad in armor, wielding long spears as they stood guard.

The reason for this heightened security was the divine decree issued by the Geo Archon the previous night, announcing that Fontaine's Hydro Archon would be arriving in Liyue for a state visit.

The Liyue Qixing, the seven individuals responsible for assisting the Geo Archon in governing Liyue, took this decree very seriously. They prepared to extend the highest courtesies to welcome this deity from a foreign land.

In reality, however, this state visit didn't involve many pressing matters. After all, the major issues had already been settled in private discussions between Felina and Zhongli.

The purpose of this meeting with the Liyue Qixing was merely to discuss the specific details of constructing the power station.

The meeting proceeded smoothly, and before long, Felina and the Qixing had finalized the details, including the location of the power station.

Once the talks concluded, Felina prepared to leave. However—

"Your Grace, please wait."

Keqing, the Yuheng of the Qixing, called out to Felina.

"Hm?"

Felina paused mid-step. "Does Miss Keqing have something else to discuss?"

Keqing clasped her hands together and bowed respectfully, demonstrating her deference to the deity before speaking. "I apologize for the abruptness, but I have some questions I wish to ask Your Grace."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Felina smiled faintly.

For Keqing to attain her position among the Qixing at such a young age was a testament to her exceptional abilities.

In the game, Keqing was portrayed as diligent, self-reliant, and fiercely independent. Felina had always admired her character.

Now, seeing Keqing with a question, Felina nodded and said warmly, "Please, feel free to ask. If I can answer, I will do so without reservation."

"My gratitude, Your Grace."

Keqing approached and stood beside Felina, gazing out from Yujing Terrace at Liyue Harbor below as she began to speak.

"The gods love mankind, tending to their every need," Keqing said.

"Many believe that gods are omnipotent, and that as mortals, we need only bask in the gods' protection."

"But I have always felt that humans should have their own dignity. If we rely solely on divine favor and abandon our drive for self-improvement, then how can we deserve the gods' love?"

"I believe that humanity should demonstrate its worth through its efforts, through relentless perseverance. Since becoming one of the Qixing, I have never faltered in my resolve. Yet many criticize my actions as disrespectful to the gods."

"Your Grace, as a god yourself, may I ask—what is your view on humanity?"

For 3,700 years, the Geo Archon had protected Liyue's people, earning deep-rooted reverence. History had shown that following the Geo Archon was an unquestionably wise choice.

However, excessive reliance on divine favor had caused many Liyue citizens to lose their sense of independence, believing that merely following the Archon's decrees was sufficient.

Keqing, however, was an anomaly. Among the Qixing, she was the one most unconcerned with honoring the adepti and the gods. She believed firmly that humanity should have its own pride and value.

To her, merely being a cherished child of the gods without striving for improvement meant forfeiting the right to divine favor.

Her stance placed her at odds with the majority, subjecting her to significant criticism and resistance, both politically and socially.

It was clear that Keqing had faced considerable obstacles, and this had left her feeling lost.

Given her character, she would likely find her footing again soon enough and press onward with renewed determination.

But every stage of life had its own uncertainties. If possible, Felina was happy to help Keqing overcome this particular one.

Hearing Keqing's question, Felina smiled gently and replied,

"I wholeheartedly agree with your perspective. The gods love humanity because of humanity's unyielding resilience."

"And as for gods being omnipotent—that is not the case. Gods have their own burdens and tribulations. Your Geo Archon is no exception."

"Your god has already given too much for this nation. The toil of 3,700 years is far beyond what you could imagine."

Felina looked Keqing in the eye, smiling. "Miss Keqing, have you ever considered that perhaps your god wishes more than anything to see Liyue, this child, grow into an independent and capable adult?"

"Have you considered that the Geo Archon might admire people like you?"

Keqing's expression shifted upon hearing this.

Even as the least reverent of the adepti and gods among the Qixing, her "disrespect" stemmed from a desire to showcase humanity's value, not from disdain for the divine.

The gods had always seemed lofty and distant. Even Zhongli, the Geo Archon himself, appeared in public only once a year during the Rite of Descension.

Opportunities to converse with a deity were exceedingly rare.

Noticing the Hydro Archon's approachable demeanor during the meeting, Keqing had mustered the courage to stop Felina and ask her question.

She hadn't expected much, yet Felina's response was profound and full of meaning.

"Thank you, Your Grace, for enlightening me. I am deeply grateful," Keqing said, bowing in gratitude.

Felina nodded, said nothing more, and departed.

With the meeting concluded, it was time for her to get to work.

Leaving Liyue Harbor, Felina traveled at full speed to Chenyu Valley to address the issue of soil and water imbalance.

In truth, the so-called imbalance was simply a lack of spiritual energy in the soil and water.

In the game's storyline, the problem in Chenyu Valley was solved by the adeptus Fushin, who infused her adeptal power into the water to nourish the land.

However, this solution was akin to fertilizing soil—temporary at best. The energy would eventually be depleted, requiring another adeptus to repeat the process.

It was a stopgap measure at best. Since Felina was here, she resolved to provide a permanent solution.

Exploring the mountains and rivers of Chenyu Valley, Felina soon discovered the root cause: blockages in the underground ley lines. These blockages prevented the ley line energy from flowing freely into the valley, causing the imbalance.

Once the issue was identified, the solution was straightforward.

Felina used her power to guide water flows to clear the ley lines of blockages. She then used these energized waters to nourish the entire valley's soil.

The task was finally complete.

"Phew! Done at last," Felina sighed.

The ley lines beneath Chenyu Valley were as intricate as a network of blood vessels. Clearing the blockages and revitalizing the land had taken a significant toll on her.

Even someone like Felina felt mentally and physically drained after seven hours of intense effort.

"So exhausting... This is worse than cramming out 18 assignments back in my previous life," she groaned.

Still, the effort was worth it. The ley lines now flowed freely, and Fushin would no longer need to sacrifice her adeptal power and endure long periods of recovery.

Fushin could now enjoy her freedom and spend more time with her fellow adepti.

"Exhausting as it was, at least this was for a good cause," Felina said, smiling faintly.

Feeling a deep weariness that seemed to reverberate through her very soul, Felina knew she needed proper rest.

"Furina, I'm exhausted. I'll leave the body to you for now."

"Take your time exploring Liyue and enjoying its culture. Have fun!"

"Mm! Got it. You rest well!"

The intricate network of underground ley lines made their repair an extraordinarily time-consuming and meticulous task, requiring constant mental focus throughout the process.

Seven consecutive hours of effort left Felina's consciousness hazy with exhaustion. She needed to shut down her awareness entirely and retreat into the deepest recesses of her mind for a proper rest to alleviate her mental fatigue.

"Furina, I need to shut down my consciousness for a proper rest. During this time, feel free to explore Liyue and have fun."

"Mm-hmm, I will. You get some good rest," Furina responded cheerfully.

With that, Furina assumed control of their shared body, while Felina closed her consciousness and fell into a deep slumber.

Shutting down consciousness is a unique form of profound rest exclusive to those with dual personalities.

For ordinary individuals, sleep involves complete bodily stillness, ensuring true rest. However, with dual personalities, when one is asleep, the other often remains active, moving the body around.

To prevent external stimuli—like movement, tactile sensations, or noise—from disrupting rest, this deeper level of sleep is necessary.

In this state, no matter the sounds or movements affecting the body, the sleeping consciousness remains undisturbed.

Given her current exhaustion, Felina needed this deeper level of rest to recover fully. Besides, she wanted Furina to enjoy their visit to Liyue rather than spend the day lying in bed.

As for Furina's safety, Felina wasn't too concerned.

Although Furina lacked combat prowess, she bore the resilience of an Archon. Operating at roughly one-third of Felina's power, her strength was formidable enough to ensure her safety against most threats, barring encounters with Liyue's adepti.

Even when constantly under attack and defenseless, the worst she might suffer would be injuries, with her life remaining unthreatened. To break her defenses and truly threaten her life, it would require the intervention of a being on the level of a god—someone like Azhdaha or Morax.

After instructing Furina to enjoy herself, Felina shut down her consciousness completely, plunging into a restorative sleep.

For nearly five centuries, Furina had lived a restrained and subdued existence.

Now, having the chance to explore a foreign land, she was overjoyed.

In the wilderness, Furina looked around with excitement, pondering her itinerary.

Half an hour later...

In the bustling streets of Qiaoying Village, nestled within Chenyu Vale, a girl with blue-and-white hair was hopping along merrily.

Such carefree behavior was something she would never dare in Fontaine. But here, in this unfamiliar nation, she could indulge a little.

Hopping and skipping down the street, she resembled a carefree lark returned to its natural habitat, radiating the innocence and joy of youth.

"Chenyu Valley tea is quite famous," she mused.

"Let me see... Duke Leoslee enjoys tea. I'll get this premium Maojian for him."

"Neuvillette has a refined palate for tea—yes, Pu'er's rich flavor should suit him. I'll bring him some of this."

"And Felina loves jasmine tea. Let's see if I can find any."

Furina wandered through Qiaoying Village, browsing the stalls and soon filling her arms with numerous packages.

At the riverbank, she summoned a Hydro Spirit and entrusted it to deliver the gifts back to Lumignon Palace.

"Well, I've got all the tea sorted," Furina said, clapping her hands with satisfaction. Rising from the riverbank, she decided to head toward Liyue Harbor next.

Though Chenyu Valley was situated in Liyue's far northwest and Liyue Harbor was at its southernmost point—a considerable journey—she was eager to go.

Not only would she get to enjoy the breathtaking landscapes of Liyue along the way, but she also remembered Felina telling her about the port's bustling commerce and the wide array of goods from other nations available there.

"Let's visit Liyue Harbor," she decided.

"Sigewinne loves beauty products. I'll pick out a couple of skincare sets and makeup kits for her."

"And I remember Felina's fondness for Liyue's cultural styles. Perfect—I'll find some Liyue-inspired dresses and accessories for her too."

"And once I've got the clothes and jewelry, I'll wear them myself. When she wakes up and sees me, she'll be so surprised!"

Before someone can truly love others, they must first feel loved themselves.

Perhaps, filled with happiness at this moment, Furina meticulously remembered each person's preferences and devoted herself to selecting thoughtful gifts for them.

"I hope they'll all like these presents!"

Her eyes curved into crescent moons as she set off for Liyue Harbor, taking her time strolling through the mountains and valleys, marveling at Liyue's distinctive terrain.

However, she was unaware that danger was drawing closer.

A boyish figure wearing a wide-brimmed hat and dressed in purple Inazuman attire appeared amidst Liyue's mountains.

It was none other than Scaramouche, the Sixth Harbinger of the Fatui.

"Who would've thought my visit to Liyue would bring such an unexpected boon?"

High on a mountain, Scaramouche gazed at Furina, who was leisurely wandering through the forest below. His expression lit with delight.

As a Harbinger, Scaramouche's primary role was to assist the Fatui in executing various schemes across the nations. Thus, his presence in any nation was never out of place.

Felina's arrival in this world had altered its storylines.

The Fatui had been expelled en masse from Fontaine, but the Gnosis of the Hydro Archon remained an essential prize for them.

Currently, the Fatui were regrouping their forces along Fontaine's borders, subtly amassing troops.

Scaramouche's task involved mobilizing the Fatui units stationed in Liyue toward Fontaine's frontier.

While preparing to leave for another mission, he unexpectedly encountered Furina during her excursion.

Unlike the reclusive Anemo and Geo Archons, Furina was a celebrated figure in Fontaine. Her exploits and details had long been spread throughout the Fatui.

The moment Scaramouche saw her, he instantly recognized her.

"A god wandering alone in the wilderness of a foreign land... Focalors, are you confident—or just foolish?"

A Gnosis was of unparalleled significance to the Fatui, but for Scaramouche, it held a unique, personal meaning.

At this moment, he believed he had stumbled upon a golden opportunity: the Hydro Archon herself, possibly carrying her Gnosis, alone in Liyue's mountains.

For Scaramouche, the allure was irresistible.
