The last member of the Wuxiang family, Wuxiang Grass—

After its intimidating performance ended on screen, the entire live broadcast room was once again swallowed up by absolute darkness.

In this deathly silence, only the Doctor's voice, now rough and hoarse like sandpaper rubbing against cast iron, suddenly rang out, each syllable revealing exhaustion and the stagger of someone who had survived a catastrophe:

"Heh... It seems that the goddess of fate is still reluctant to cast a smile at me."

His suppressed cough was particularly jarring in the darkness, a far cry from his usual composed and in control: "...A miscalculation. I never imagined that being would personally oversee the World Tree..."

The brief silence seemed to be gathering its last strength, followed by a lower, more resolute declaration:

"...However, this state is enough. Enough for me to take care of my affairs before I leave."

The words abruptly ceased, as if cut short, and darkness once again reigned supreme. When light pierced the curtain again, the scene that greeted the eye was not what had been expected.

A thin, hunched figure of a boy stood alone on the cold, dark platform, his body almost completely drained.

Several thick pipes, gleaming with an ominous metallic sheen, pierced deeply into his thin back like evil parasitic vines.

Dark purple light, imbued with violent power, was flowing greedily and continuously into his trembling body through these channels.

A deep, cold voice began to narrate reality: "A body constructed of mortal materials... to presume to bear the power of gods? What a fool's dream!"

The voice carried a hint of mockery: "Every wisp of energy released when the Heart of God erupts is enough to tear any vessel to shreds..."

The screen trembled slightly, seemingly bearing the oppressive force of the voice: "Those foolish scholars... if they truly wish to forge a false god with the heart of God..."

"What they need first and foremost is something that can buffer divine wrath and preserve their masterpiece of god-making from vanishing in an instant..."

"Transfer furnace".

[That voice sounds familiar?]

[This is the Red King's voice. The plot stops right at the moment he finishes calling out his name, so it's very memorable.]

[Ugh! That despicable Doctor! He actually used my little wanderer baby as a transfer furnace! Unforgivable!]

I don't want to stay in version 3.1 for even a second longer. This week I'm going to switch to version 3.2 to make the Doctor into a topping.

The scene abruptly shifts, with the sacred World Tree becoming the next focal point. But the sight before them is utterly terrifying.

No longer the vibrant and intelligent emerald light, but a raging golden-red flame, now like a greedy python, coiling around and devouring the World Tree's massive canopy!

The giant tree that symbolizes the foundation of Teyvat is burning!

"The World Tree... is burning!"

Paimon's signature voice rang out, but it was filled with unprecedented panic and trembling, piercing the heavy atmosphere with a sharp edge.

Countless emerald-like leaves, licked by the flames, curled and fell in agony, transforming into a shower of newborn green rain that drifted erratically in the rising heat.

Against this devastating backdrop, the doctor's voice reappeared like a ghost, carrying a seductive allure that seemed to know all secrets:

"That's the secret about the 'truth' of the entire world of Teyvat, which the World Tree has been trying its best to bury..."

The scene shifts back to the Order of the Church. The Doctor stands with his back to all the astonished and uncertain gazes. His figure appears eerie and unpredictable in the dim light, and his hoarse voice seems to possess a magical power, directly touching people's hearts.

The images on the screen then began to flash back at high speed, like fragments of memories out of control.

Paimon's voice, trembling with worry, cut through the chaotic images: "Now... 'The Wanderer'... he's just one step away from becoming a god... what are we going to do...?"

Her response was the wanderer's intermittent, weak plea, like a candle flickering in the wind, yet utterly resolute:

"Don't worry about me... You must stop me no matter what! This is my... last wish... If... if you really can't do it..."

His tone was filled with a desperate, tragic resolve, "...Then let 'General' come...let her end all of this..."

The sound gradually faded away.

The camera, drawn by an invisible force, zooms in rapidly, piercing through layers of heavily guarded corridors, reaching the deepest, most forbidden core of the Church House.

There, a colossal, breathtaking steel behemoth stood majestically, half of its body embedded in the ground.

Its metal head slowly opened, revealing the cockpit inside, which was surrounded by intricate pipes.

A wanderer with vacant eyes, as if his soul had been ripped out, stood stiffly among them.

With a heavy mechanical clanking, the final pipes were precisely connected, and the cockpit cover slammed shut, completely merging him with the cold steel body.

Om-!

A blinding purple lightning burst forth from the gaps in the machine colossus's entire body! The massive energy core on its chest suddenly lit up, and a wildly spinning lightning element symbol shone like the sun, proclaiming the arrival of the demon god's power.

This is the weekly boss that will tear apart all challengers in the next version.

Immediately afterwards, the live stream was taken over by a frenzied gameplay demonstration. This mech-god, driven by a rogue, displayed its world-destroying power like a master of the elements:

Flames transformed into a sky-burning tornado, lightning intertwined into a deadly electric grid, and torrents stirred up vortexes in the abyss...

The power of the elements is kneaded and poured out at will in its giant hands, a pure and despairing song of destruction.

Holy crap, I know I shouldn't say this, but I still have to say, he's so handsome!

[Eva Unit-01.]

[The damage looks high, but it's okay, I'll be as solid as a rock. Looking forward to your performance!]

The gameplay demonstration of this boss has come to an end.

What followed were more fragmented plot segments.

In these story clips, characters such as Nilu, Dixia, Seno, Mingyuan, Zhuge Xun, Mingyuan, and Laiila all make appearances.

The moment of final battle has arrived, and these characters will showcase their brilliance in the next version of the storyline.

The final scene of the PV freezes on the sword-wielding traveler confronting the purple mecha demon.

Then the promotional page for the next version slowly appeared.

In the center of the image stands a majestic mecha demon god, its chest gleaming with a striking lightning element emblem, radiating a chilling energy fluctuation.

Under the immense shadow of the demon god, the traveler stood side by side with Paimon, flanked by the solemn-looking Iya and Narcida.

On the left edge, Caesar's profile is faintly visible, his cold and stern face revealing an unfathomable depth of cunning. Below Caesar, you can also see Laila, Mingyuan, Zhuge Xun, and others.

On the right stood the Doctor, his eyes behind the mask flashing with a dangerous light.

Finally, there's the title located at the very bottom of the screen—

The void churned, and the flames of calamity soared high.

Then, with a transition, the scene returned to the live broadcast room.

The promotional page for the version was placed in the center of the live stream room. To the left of the live stream room stood chibi versions of Sora and Narcida, and to the right stood chibi versions of Caesar and Ying.

The chibi version of Ying raised her hands and cheered:

"Wow! I didn't expect the first reward to come so quickly! And I certainly didn't expect the opening of the book to be so exciting!"

The chibi version of Sora nodded in agreement:

"Yes, and although this is the prologue to the book, it is actually the final chapter of the Sumeru Demon God quest."

"After experiencing the 'Cycle of the Flower Goddess's Birthday' and a thrilling desert journey, the final chapter of the story has finally arrived!"

The chibi version of Ying recited her lines according to the script:

"The traveler will join forces with reliable companions to form a team to liberate Sumeru and challenge the Council of the Church. What a scene that will be!

The chibi version of Caesar coughed lightly and said:

"Before we get excited, let me explain: what we need to fight is the increasingly corrupt royalists, not the entire Church of Jesus."

"After all, the reformers support Little Lucky Grass King and are allies. If they accidentally hurt him, it would be a huge blunder."

The chibi version of Ying laughed awkwardly and said, "Sorry, sorry, it was a slip of the tongue. Please forgive me, boss."

Now that he had spoken, the chibi version of Caesar greeted everyone in the live stream, saying, "Hi~ fellow travelers, I'm Junbai, the voice actor for Caesar."

"Although it has only been one preview live broadcast since I last met with you all, I still want to say - it's been a long time."

[Welcome back, Godfather.]

[Welcome back, Godfather.]

[Welcome back, Godfather.]

[Welcome back, Godfather.]

[Welcome back, Godfather.]

Although he couldn't see the live stream, the chibi version of Caesar felt like he was being watched by tens of thousands of eyes.

However, he felt no pressure about this and said directly, "The main storyline of the Sumeru chapter is about to come to an end, but this does not mean that the travelers' journey in Sumeru will come to an end."

"Whether it's Nasita, the Little Lucky Grass King, or the Great Compassion Tree King and the Red King, they will all bring you unprecedented new information."

"And today, apart from the two traveler representatives, we will be learning about these new insights with you travelers."

"We also have a friend that everyone is familiar with joining us in the live broadcast to learn about the contents of the book together."

Q-version Sora nodded and said, "Yes, I'm familiar with her. I can really say I'm very familiar with her. She's practically a regular in the live stream."

"Hmm, hmm?"

The chibi version of Nasita makes adorable, questioning sounds, deliberately trying to charm the viewers in the live stream.

However, it's actually not necessary at all. For the viewers in the live stream, just hearing that familiar voice is enough.

Ah! Baby Iya!

My dear Klee!

[May Nasita bless me so I can draw you the moment I'm chosen!]

Only now have I realized that I'm not a fan of lolis, but of Hana Ling! I have a bold idea, brothers, wish me luck!

[Regarding your audacious idea, our country happens to have a complete criminal law.]

[Uh...it doesn't seem to work. Even though Hua Ling has a loli voice, she's an adult. It's a normal blind date; the criminal law can't touch her.]

[↑If this were a "normal" blind date, what do you think is so bold about his idea?]
