Genshin Impact: Inviting Nahida, Building the Sanctuary of Surasthana in Minecraft Author: Underground Sewer Chief
Transmigrating to Teyvat, Jiang Xuan unlocked a two-way portal leading to Minecraft.
Not only could he bring people along to the MC world, but he could also activate all kinds of mods?
Nahida: “If you want to get rich, chop down trees first! Dig three blocks down and plug one up to go mining!”
Hu Tao: “Hey, pigmen over there! Want to try this new coffin? Crafted from pure obsidian—buy with peace of mind, rest in peace inside!”
Venti: “Ehe! Dvalin, stop looking for me! I’m worried the Ender Dragon will misunderstand!”
Yae Miko: “Yae Publishing House is selling SlashBlades in bulk! 999 damage per hit—a must-have fine blade for duels before the throne!”
Zhongli: “Generally speaking, this firearm called the Barrett seems somewhat more practical than the Vortex Vanquisher.”
…
Years later, the sleeping Heavenly Principles awakened.
Looking at the completely transformed Teyvat before her eyes, she slowly typed a question mark.
“Heavenly Principles up ahead, you are suspected of flying without a license inside city limits. You will be detained by the 73rd Teyvat Public Security Bureau and prosecuted.”
“You have the right to remain silent. If you resist with force, we do not rule out deploying Titan Iron Golems and aerospace carrier dreadnought fleets.”
“Furthermore…”

My Two-Way Portal Connects to the MC World
“Finally… gathered enough!”
Inside a small wooden hut that looked wildly out of place with its surroundings, Jiang Xuan stumbled out of a glowing doorway.
Covered in dirt and dressed in rags, he looked just like an unlucky adventurer robbed by hilichurls.
With great effort, he pushed wooden blocks, stacking them outside the door.
Gazing at the small mountain of wood piled before him, Jiang Xuan was filled with deep emotion.
A year ago, after frantically grinding through the Aranyaka questline, the desert questline, eight Story Quests, and fourteen Hangout Events…
Jiang Xuan had transmigrated straight into Teyvat.
To be exact, into Liyue’s Chasm.
He realized this the moment he saw a girl with purple cat-ear hair furiously slashing an Electro Slime, only for it to register as “Immune.”
As for a system…
Could you even call yourself a transmigrator without a system?
The moment he landed, Jiang Xuan activated his system.
However, as a transmigrator with a system, why was he reduced to such a miserable state?
Well… that was another story entirely.
“Calculate the rewards, System…”
Jiang Xuan walked over to a pool of water, squatted down, and washed his face.
Today was another day of narrowly escaping death.
[Ding! Calculating… Obtained wood. Achievement unlocked.]
[Novice quest complete. System officially bound. Reward: Steve Physique, SlashBlade: Yamato, firearm: AK-47.]
[Ding! Next stage achievement: Monster Hunter. Attack and kill one hundred monsters.]
Jiang Xuan’s mouth twitched.
Wiping his face, he ignored his rewards and sighed with worry instead.
“As expected… scaled up by a hundred times again…”
This was precisely why a transmigrator with a system was living such a wretched life.
Jiang Xuan’s system was called the MC Two-Way Portal System.
As the name implied, it allowed Jiang Xuan to travel back and forth between Minecraft and Teyvat.
Of course, he wasn’t limited to going alone; he could bring other people along as well.
However, Jiang Xuan had never considered bringing anyone.
At least, not before gaining the power to protect his own secrets.
Genshin Impact was rated PEGI 12, but that didn’t mean Teyvat was a sweet, gentle fairy tale for toddlers, where everyone you met on the road was a moral vanguard and every interaction was warm and friendly.
A world like that was far too fake.
A living, breathing world naturally possessed darkness and violence.
At the very least, as far as Jiang Xuan could tell, both hilichurls and Treasure Hoarders killed people.
That was why he had laid low in The Chasm for the past year.
For no other reason than pure safety!
Jiang Xuan was a cautious player who thoroughly understood the art of keeping his head down.
Don’t be fooled by how The Chasm in the game was packed with dark mud, Abyss Mages, Treasure Hoarders, and hilichurls.
In reality, as Liyue’s most important mining region connecting directly to Sumeru, security in The Chasm was better than Inazuma City, even if it couldn’t match Liyue Harbor.
Millelith patrolled day in and day out, alongside powerful Vision holders.
Every now and then, the Liyue Qixing would pay a visit to reinforce the seal.
At least the perimeter of The Chasm was extremely safe.
During this past year, Jiang Xuan had basically never left his doorstep, focusing entirely on chopping down one hundred wooden blocks.
However, Jiang Xuan’s identity was rather special.
In Teyvat, he was an Outlander, if not a Descender.
Though the nations were used to seeing people like him, they still paid attention.
Because of this, Jiang Xuan had met Keqing, Ganyu, and the others, and they got along pretty well.
In fact, thanks to Jiang Xuan’s modern mindset, he hit it off with Keqing.
Keqing had been trying to recruit him as her subordinate, dreaming of 007 work schedules together for the era of human rule.
Keqing had mentioned several times that she could escort Jiang Xuan to Liyue Harbor.
But Jiang Xuan politely declined.
First, Liyue Harbor was crowded with eyes and ears; second, the distance was too far.
Traveling from The Chasm to Liyue Harbor took almost two months on foot.
He had no time to waste on traveling.
Third… going to Liyue meant working for Keqing, and Keqing’s workload…
Even the Lord of the Underground would shake his head.
So, Jiang Xuan simply built a small house near The Chasm and stayed put, entering the MC world every day to make progress.
It might seem that chopping one hundred wooden blocks was simple—just a few chops and you were done.
Jiang Xuan had indeed thought so at first.
In practice, however, it was outrageously difficult.
A single wooden block was one cubic meter, and what Jiang Xuan chopped was actual solid timber.
Without exaggeration, a single solid wood block weighed hundreds of kilograms.
As an ordinary person, just chopping down a tree took everything out of him, let alone moving a block of that weight.
Not to mention that zombies and creeping explosive carts harassed him from time to time.
Zombies that could be slain with a wooden sword in the game were completely overwhelming in reality—he couldn’t even take a gentle shove from them.
What was worse, Jiang Xuan couldn’t even craft a wooden sword.
As for why…
Crafting a wooden sword required a crafting table.
Crafting a crafting table required picking up four blocks.
Four blocks meant several tons.
Without even a Vision, how could he craft it?
With his bare head?
Even those wooden blocks had been dragged and pushed out one by one…
Nonetheless, taking a whole year, Jiang Xuan finally completed the beginner achievement.
“All in all, obtaining the Steve Physique gives me the power to protect myself from now on…”
Jiang Xuan sighed, clenched his fist casually, and slammed it onto the ground.
A roaring rumble echoed as thick dust dispersed.
