Genshin Impact: Being a Genshin Impact Trainer in Teyvat

"Under the Solitary Cloud Pavilion?"

Ningguang's expression froze when she heard Ye Xing's reminder, and then she seemed to remember something, and her expression gradually became unbelievable.

"Solitary Cloud Pavilion isn't a natural formation, but a giant rock spear cast by the Emperor during the war..."

"Beneath that rock spear, the Emperor's former defeated adversaries, those who had failed to achieve the position of the Seven Gods..."

"The Whirlpool Demon God Osel!"

With every word Ningguang spoke, her brows furrowed a little, and then she began to dismiss her attendants, leaving only herself and Ye Xing.

"That's impossible. The Rock Spear carries the remaining power of the Rock God, as well as a sealing force that's enough to suppress and destroy even the most powerful Demon God..."

"How can the Fatui's two executive officers in Liyue, one of whom you defeated and ranked eighth, and the other ranked last, truly challenge the might of the Emperor in Lonely Cloud Pavilion?"

"Why do you have such a guess? Isn't it a bit unrealistic?"

Ningguang did not particularly agree with Ye Xing's opinion, so she raised her eyes and looked at the person in front of her, waiting for his explanation.

Ye Xing sighed slightly, then slowly walked to the edge of the Qun Yu Pavilion, looking far into the distance at the sea area of ​​the Gu Yun Pavilion with its numerous mountains on the sea.

"Do you know why the Eighth Officer of the Fatui, [Madam], went to Mondstadt to complete a secret mission, even engaging in a fierce battle with us at the gates of the Knights, causing such a commotion? What was her purpose?"

"What is it?" Ningguang raised her eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke:

"I don't know what [Madam] is after in Mondstadt, but I have some guesses. Perhaps it's related to 'God'..."

"It's said that the Ice Queen's officers travel the world to collect the 'Hearts of the Gods' of the Seven Gods... Could this also be why they came to Liyue? And how does this connect to the Demon Lord Osel?"

"The battle between you and the Lady did have a significant impact. According to Acting Captain Jean, the Winter Kingdom has resorted to some reckless behavior in the face of Mondstadt's diplomatic pressure. The Fatui flatly deny anything they did in Mondstadt, citing Mondstadt's one-sided account, insufficient evidence to implicate the Lady, and the lack of any Fatui capture."

"So Mondstadt has been asking Liyue to join in questioning and pressuring the Kingdom of Winter, but I didn't agree lightly..."

"If this is really as you say, and the Fatui are planning to make the crazy move of releasing the Ancient Demon God in Liyue..."

"I, the 'Seven Stars of Liyue', am not just a vase or decoration!"

Ningguang's expression suddenly became stern, and her gentle and soft aura disappeared instantly. The noble majesty of a superior and the decisiveness of Rayleigh were fully reflected in Ningguang for a moment.

Ye Xing turned around and saw Ningguang's tone suddenly change, and her expression turned unfriendly. He was also slightly stunned, then turned his back and continued to ask:

"By the way, did you hide the 'Ancestral Transfiguration' in the Golden House?"

Ye Xing's seemingly casual question made Ningguang alert. "Oh? Why do you say that? Could it be that you have some connection with the Wangsheng Hall?"

Seeing that Ningguang didn't answer, Ye Xing didn't care and continued:

"So that's really the case? That's not hard to guess. Liyue's only mint... is also the only mint in all of Teyvat. All the Mora circulated in the seven human kingdoms is minted there. I can't think of a safer place than that..."

"Hey... Even going so far as to stop Mora's forging to hide the "Immortal Ancestor's Transmutation"... Qixing really put a lot of effort into it."

Ningguang saw Ye Xing's conviction and did not refute him. After a moment of silence, she spoke:

"That day at Yujing Terrace, the incident happened suddenly, and I was caught off guard. The Traveler was also there and should have seen it all. The enemies of the Seven Stars have long been lurking in Liyue Harbor. If we don't take action, we will be at a disadvantage..."

"Qixing has no reason to harm the Emperor. I know that naturally." Ye Xing waved his hand, interrupting Ningguang's explanation. "What I want to ask is, did Qixing find the Heart of the Rock God during the Immortal Ancestor's Transformation?"

When Ningguang heard Ye Xing ask this, her eyebrows slightly raised, as if she was a little surprised, and then she slowly said:

"The Emperor passed away, and his immortal body was not desecrated by anyone. Instead, we, the Seven Stars, placed it in the deepest part of the 'Golden House', waiting for the 'Send Immortal Ceremony' before making any plans..."

"During the process... I didn't seem to sense any divine power. As for the 'Heart of God'..."

"In other words, there's no 'Heart of God' in the 'Immortal Ancestor's Transmutation'. If the 'Heart of God' isn't in the 'Rock God', then where else could it be?"

Ye Xing interrupted Ningguang again without waiting for her to finish, with a hint of reminder in his tone.

"Although the Fatui may not be as well-connected as the Seven Stars in Liyue, their intelligence system is not weak. If they deliberately caused a disturbance and took the opportunity to sneak into the Golden House, and did not find the "Heart of God" in the "Ancestral Transmutation", then..."

"With that group's unscrupulous and crazy style of doing things, who would be the first to fail if they caused a disaster in Liyue that even the Seven Stars and Immortals could not withstand?"

"Will a kingdom without gods be swallowed up again by ancient malice?"

With every word Ye Xing spoke, Ningguang's pupils shrank a little, and the shock in her eyes continued to grow.

"You're saying...the Emperor...didn't actually pass away!?"

"This..." Ningguang's brain was working rapidly at this time. After hearing Ye Xing's implicit reminder, she was briefly shocked. With Ningguang's talent and intelligence, she figured out the cause and effect of the matter through thinking, and her mind was shocked.

"It's actually like this... Liyue has been governed by the Emperor himself for over 3,700 years... This... is still somewhat unbelievable..."

"How then could the Fatui unlock the power of the Lonely Cloud Pavilion's Rock Spear and release the long-sealed Ancient Demon?"

Ye Xing did not answer Ningguang's question, but instead talked about the "Demon War".

"Thousands of years ago, there were many demons in the world, and there was a long war that ended only two thousand years ago. The war caused countless lives to be lost and countless blood was shed."

"During this time, the Rock King Emperor forged a divine artifact—the Hundred Unrestricted Talisman—and sealed within it immortal power, which could aid mortals in their battles against demons. It could also allow mortals to safely approach the immortals' caves..."

"How do you think the travelers were able to travel freely through the Cloudless Realm? During their encounter with the Young Master, the Fatui delivered a replica of the 'Talisman of No Taboos' to Ying... They already possess the ability to create 'Talisman of No Taboos'!"

"A large number of 'One Hundred Taboos', combined with the 'Power of the Executor' bestowed upon them by the 'Ice Queen', are sufficient to unlock the few remaining divine powers on the Rock Spear..."

"Release the Whirlpool Demon, Osel!"
