Genshin Impact: Supreme Justice of Teyvat

Chapter Two: The Monster Editor System

“Edit monsters?”
Lu Yu looked at the five “materials” before him and asked in confusion:
“Am I supposed to choose a few of these to combine and edit?”

System: [Yes, you can select a few, or you can fully combine them. The editing process is driven by your imagination. However, editing is not simply about mixing to create strength, but about achieving infinite possibilities based on your intent!]

As the system’s notification sounded, the names and information of five materials appeared before Lu Yu.

The blood-stained yellow cloth was called the Unknown Burial Shroud. It originated from the corpse of an unidentified being. Stained with that entity’s blood, it had absorbed an ominous aura and gained eerie powers. If touched by hand, it could potentially drain life force, leading to death. Its evaluation: Three-star material.

All materials in the system are rated on a ten-star scale. The higher the star rating, the greater the material’s power and potential, or the more extraordinary its origin.
Materials can be obtained either by opening reward chests from system tasks or by extracting them directly from objects!

For instance, humans can provide materials such as souls and flesh, although extraction carries a risk of failure!

The blue orb of light was a Pure Soul, a legendary treasure said to weigh only 21 grams. According to Western belief, after death, a soul ascends to heaven to attain eternal bliss.
However, in Eastern beliefs, souls undergo the Six Paths of Reincarnation, pass through the River of Forgetfulness, cross the Bridge of Helplessness, and drink Meng Po’s Soup to embark on a new life.
Regardless of the belief system, souls remain shrouded in mystery.

As for the blade fragment, it was simply the remnants of a weapon after battle, rated at One-star, with little value.

The flames, named Hellfire, were wicked flames from the depths of hell. They carried intense corrosive and malevolent properties, posing a terrifying threat to all living beings. Rating: Two and a half stars.

The last item, however, was a pocket watch, whose system evaluation was somewhat ambiguous:

[(Four-star) Damaged Pocket Watch]: Once worn by an unknown being, this pocket watch bears traces of time and shadow energy. It transformed from a mundane object into something extraordinary but was also tainted by the blood of an evil god, granting it a power that induces madness.

“Power that induces madness?”
Lu Yu stared at the golden pocket watch floating in mid-air. Its hands were slowly turning, seemingly ordinary, but the dark red stains added a sinister touch.

This pocket watch held traces of temporal power!
In any world, time and space are supreme laws!

Even the mightiest deities or invincible beings cannot escape the ravages of time, eventually becoming mere grains of sand in its endless river.

Though the pocket watch carried significant risks, Lu Yu was unfazed.
After acquiring the Monster Editor System, he realised that to grow stronger, he needed to extract vast amounts of materials—be it from powerful beings, monsters, or even the chaotic evil gods that dwell beyond the crystal walls of the world.

Those entities are powerful, chaotic, and insane. Even the slightest overflow of their power can unleash madness and carnage in any world.

“Phew… Looks like my future will be anything but dull. Goodbye to the calm, ordinary life!”
Lu Yu exhaled deeply. Though his tone was contemplative, his face showed no hint of nostalgia—only excitement!

He had long grown tired of mediocrity. He was determined to ascend step by step to the highest throne, becoming an eternal, invincible taboo existence!

Lu Yu slowly extended his hands. Grey energy surged as he moved, like a sea god raising his trident to summon a storm over the ocean.

A peculiar sensation welled up within him. For a moment, it felt as though he grasped the laws of the universe, holding everything under his control!

With a mere thought, the five materials floated before him, emitting faint glows. The higher the star rating, the brighter the light.

Monster editing was not as simple as combining everything into a chaotic mix.
While that approach was possible, the system’s hints made it clear: the more perfect the monster editing, the stronger its innate abilities and the greater its growth potential!

In other words, as the creator, he needed to meticulously edit his monster.

“Editing is not simply about mixing to create strength, but about achieving infinite possibilities based on your intent!”

Lu Yu murmured the system’s guidance softly. With a flick of his finger, he dismissed the one-star blade fragment!

This fragment might have been usable, but its low quality would only hinder the monster’s potential, offering no benefit whatsoever!

Lu Yu was a perfectionist and would not allow his first creation to have significant flaws.

As for the pocket watch, Lu Yu chose to set it aside for now. The rare power of time deserved to be used on a more suitable creation.

Having dealt with these two materials, Lu Yu turned his attention to the Soul, Hellfire, and Burial Shroud. An idea had already formed in his mind!

It was a monster he had once read about in a story during his previous life!

“Hand of Chaos, manipulate the threads of destiny!”
Like the whispers of a god, the entire grey space began to stir. Threads of laws intertwined in Lu Yu’s palms, and the three materials were drawn into his grasp!

“Be born, my first monster…”
