I, the leader of the esoteric sect, am doing great things in the infinite world!

Her dedication moved Li Lin, but the awkwardness of the Shenzhou Xing made Master Li feel like ants were crawling all over his body.

After equipping the Fire-attribute Eye of God, Li Lin can indeed bypass the existing system and start fires out of thin air, but unfortunately, those fires are useless except for lighting cigarettes.

What puzzled Master Li the most was why the Night Watcher, Pupil's Door, would specifically extract that world from Genshin Impact...

......

After returning from the hotel after his dream, Li Lin got up from the toilet and went to the mirror in the bathroom.

A dark green desktop rose rapidly in front of him, with lines of text refreshing like a tide.

It was the personal panel that appeared without any warning!

[Exclusive Secret Technique Upgrade Progress: 5/9]

[Current season: A season of frequent hallucinations.]

What a spectacle!

A new season has arrived, and the number of times we've traveled through time has been refreshed.

Li Lin dipped his finger in the water from the pool and used it to draw a tearful eye on the glass mirror. This was the emblem of the Lord of Light, signifying the grand occasion of the opening of the eye's door.

Then the mirror began to reflect light. The light was initially pure white, but then began to scatter into a variety of different colors. These colors, like a flowing river, enveloped Li Lin in the mirror.

"Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!" Li Lin seemed to realize something and shouted for a halt.

Perhaps wanting to see what other tricks he could pull, the time travel in the mirror temporarily stopped.

Li Lin frantically pulled a vinyl record from his pocket.

A corner of the phonograph

[A first-order mental artifact.]

[Description: This object's ringing is incessant, like a heartbeat that never stops.]

[Feature: Unending Music. Every fifteen minutes, it changes the background music in a certain area, forcibly immersing everyone within that area in the background music. You can also specify the affected area and characters.]

You can change the background music by paying a spiritual fee.

"As mentioned last time, at that time, Mansu was plagued by turbulent waves in the sea and a revolving wheel dwelling in the mountains. The Supreme Lord Sichen summoned all the gods to restore Mansu to a bright and clear world. Legend has it that when Jiaoyang set out on his expedition, he said..."

The vinyl record spins, and the familiar sound of the erhu, so familiar it makes your vision go black, begins to play softly.

Before Li Lin could finish his lines, he was pulled into the mirror by a powerful force.

172 I'm not hiding anymore, I'm a fan of the original.

Teyvat continent.

Liyue, Dihuazhou.

Standing by the water's edge on Dihua Isle, Li Lin gazed at the magnificent sunset in the distance and a flock of egrets taking flight from the rustling reeds, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Look at this damn little sun, and these gorgeous little birds, they're so damn beautiful."

Do you think he would say something like "The sunset glows and the lone wild goose flies together; the autumn water blends with the vast sky"? That's not Master Li's style.

Quite abruptly, a strange and incongruous sentence appeared in the upper left corner of my field of vision.

[A passionate viewer is requesting to join your live stream.]

Nian's voice came through the teammates' channel.

Tiangong Nian: "My God, what you're saying is so unnatural, it's almost inhuman."

Li Lin was taken aback: "What? You can see me?"

Tiangong Nian: "Of course, as I said, there are very few people who dare to challenge the Night's Watch trials. So, in order to attract viewers, this Sichen opened a live streaming function last time. On the one hand, it was to highlight His kind and approachable image, and on the other hand, it was to provide other believers with a direct understanding of the trials."

Tiangong·Nian: "The main supporters of the Mansu Network are the Night Watcher·Tongzhongfei, the God of Timely Action responsible for building the firewall, Sichen·Double Horn Axe, and the God of Never-Stopping, Sichen·Thunder Skin, who is also responsible for the firewall itself."

Tiangong·Nian: "Most importantly, this can add a sense of familiarity to the challengers. After all, exploring a completely unfamiliar world is not a good experience. It would be much better if they had family and friends with them."

Li Lin: "I asked what this was, and why there was so much water."

After understanding the situation, Mr. Li was immediately excited. He first agreed to a series of applications to enter the live broadcast room, and then casually set the live broadcast room to be watchable by everyone.

Li Lin spread his arms and waved them towards the sky: "OK, brothers, all eyes on me! Look at me, look at me! I have something to announce—"

“First, it’s you; second, it’s Izem, the Thirsty One.” Li Lin pointed at the air in front of him. “Look at you bunch of Named Ones, neither human nor ghost. You think you can provoke the Daytime Forge? Why didn’t the King of the Cauldron smash your head in?”

"And then there's you, Defour. I'll curse you out right here in Mansour. Don't let me catch you, or I'll rip off your hood and slap you in the face."

After stirring up some controversy, Li Lin switched out of the live stream and saw a short, green-headed man standing on a stone bridge with his arms crossed, watching him from a distance.

"What are you looking at?" Li Lin glared at him, annoyed.

The green-headed dwarf gave him a cold look.

Li Lin glared back defiantly, as if to say, "Whose eyes are bigger, huh?"

Seemingly feeling that making eye contact with Li Lin was beneath him, the green-headed dwarf vanished in an instant, leaving behind only a bland warning that was carried to Li Lin's ear by the wind.

"Demons abound in Dihua Isle; mortals should not disturb them."

......

Many people in Liyue have heard a legend about the immortals of Dihua Marsh.

Legend has it that at dusk and sunrise, one can often see a figure in shades of blue and black, holding a long spear that is also carved from beautiful jade, walking among the rustling reeds of Dihua Isle. The magnificent sun sets behind him, like a cloak of blood.

Legend has it that he is an immortal who slays demons and saves people from suffering throughout Liyue. Whenever travelers encounter robbery or monsters, they can call upon his name and hear the howling wind so loud that they cannot open their eyes. When the wind stops, the disaster will have vanished without a trace.

Legend has it that on the night of the full moon, on the abandoned ancient battlefield, the Golden-Winged King, wearing a Nuo mask and spreading his wings in a wrathful posture, stirs up wind and thunder with his spear, unleashing boundless slaughter upon the evil that lingers on the land of Liyue.

These legends all actually have a real identity, namely the "Three-Eyed Five Manifestations Immortal", "Guardian Yaksha General", "Demon-Subduing Great Sage", and "Golden-Winged Roc King" who is protecting Liyue.

Its name is "Xiao".

Xiao is not the real name of this Yaksha. In the past, he was tricked into revealing his true name by a certain demon god through a secret method. He committed numerous murders under the demon god's command until the Geo Archon, who founded Liyue, freed him and gave him the name "Xiao".

In the legend of Sumeru, "Xiao" means a ghost that has suffered hardships, setbacks, and battles before finally attaining the true Dharma.

In the heart of Liyue's Dihua Island stands a towering tree, and an inn is built along its edge.

When the bright moon rises to its zenith in the east, the radiant moon hangs perfectly above the treetops, making the inn appear as if it were a building in the moon.

This is why this inn is also known as Wangshu—in the ancient legends of Liyue, Wangshu is another name for the moon, and another saying is that Wangshu was once the charioteer who cleared the way for the moon goddess.

On the surface, this is an inn, but in reality, it is an intelligence station that monitors the far seas, Mondstadt, Dragonspine Mountains, and even the Lava Pit. The proprietress, manager, cook, and even the waiters are all intelligence agents from Liyue.

Tonight, as the proprietress of Wangshu Inn was sorting out the day's earnings, a figure in blue appeared at the door without warning.

"What's wrong?" Knowing Xiao's identity, the proprietress quickly locked the documents in her hand into a hidden compartment.

Xiao succinctly stated, "Today I encountered a traveler dressed in the style of Fontainebleau and Winter's End, who seemed to be burdened with the lingering resentment of a demon god."

"Then you..." The landlady of Wangshu Inn wanted to say that this should be the job of you, the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, but she didn't dare to say it.

As if guessing what the landlady wanted to say, Xiao simply turned around and walked upstairs: "That person is of sound mind and wears the Eye of God at his waist, so he cannot be considered a demon."

The implication was that once Li Lin was out of his mind, that would be the time for him to subdue the demon.

......

On the other side, Li Lin realized that he seemed to be lost.

It must be because the UI of the game "Night Watch" isn't well done. Li Lin thought angrily, while picking his nose.

Tiangong·Nian: "We can see it."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Li Lin was shocked: "I couldn't even see myself picking my nose!"

The workers passing by were quite frightened by his act of talking to thin air.

Fighter Talulah: "Fun fact: We can see our own noses in everyday life, it's just that your brain is deceiving you."

Li Lin felt humiliated, not because he was seen picking his nose, but because he was being told some obscure fact by someone.

"By the way," Li Lin, his evil thoughts rising, suddenly asked, "Do you think I'm using a first-person or third-person perspective?"

King Killer: "First-person perspective, you can adjust the view in the upper right corner."

Li Lin immediately switched the view to first-person perspective, then frantically shook his head as everyone around him stared in disbelief. The surrounding scenery flashed by erratically. A few minutes later, Li Lin was retching by the arched bridge under the Wangshu Inn, along with several innocent spectators.
