Dotore from Genshin Impact is my teacher

Because of Chen Xi's involvement, the plot was altered and the pace accelerated.

Meanwhile, Hokuto and Kaedehara Manyo returned to the Death Star. After saying goodbye to them, Sora investigated the matter of the Crystallized Bone Marrow and helped Hiiragi Senri deliver a letter. He went to the Wood Leak Tea House to find Toma.

"Wooden Lou" means "light filtering through the leaves." The Wooden Lou Tea House is a secluded place, accessible only to special guests with reservations. The owner is a Shiba Inu wearing a headscarf and has a very cute name—"Taro-maru." Legend has it that all the employees have signed some kind of unspeakable contract with Taro-maru, and they must stay and work there forever.

Pushing open the door, a dog was squatting on the counter in front of him. Seeing someone come in, Taromaru barked a few times.

Paimon: "We've finally arrived! Where's Thomas? Where is Thomas?"

"Hey...didn't that guy Thomas keep his promise?"

The voice came from Taromaru: "Who said that I should be saddened by your forgetting me if I didn't keep my promise?"

Paimon floated in the air, looking utterly incredulous: "W-what's going on! Did the dog talk?"

Thomas: "Hahaha...Nothing to be surprised about, this is the first time you've seen me like this, isn't it?"

Sora: "Thoma is...a dog?"

Thomas: "Hmm... Haven't you seen anything similar in Liyue?"

Paimon thought about Liyue's Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun and the other two Zhenjun and it made sense.

Paimon: "Oh, I think I understand now."

Kong: "But this is completely a dog!"

Thomas walked out from backstage laughing: "Hahahaha... Okay, okay, let's not joke like that anymore."

Paimon: "Hey! What's wrong with you?!"

Thomas: "Whether it was on the island or in the tea room, the waiting time for you was a bit too long, so I came up with this special way of receiving you."

"However... please allow me to sincerely apologize to both of you. The various 'tests' we faced before were necessary formalities."

"This will determine whether we can become partners in the fight against the lightning."

Paimon, hands on hips, said, "I thought I'd forgive you if you suddenly became serious!"

Thomas scratched his head with his right hand: "Did I go too far? Sorry, sorry."

Sora: "The comrades who face the lightning head-on refer to..."

Thomas: "You initially placed yourself above those 'rules,' didn't you?"

"Because your will has never wavered, nor has it ever yielded."

“We also knew such a companion a long time ago, but he can’t come back for the time being and is trapped in the Fools’ camp.”

Sora: "You mean Manyo's friend..."

Thomas: "Yes."

Kong: "Can we go see Princess Egret now?"

Thomas: "Of course, no problem. I will send you to the Shinri Mansion of the Shabdung Monastery."

"However... before that, there is another place I would like to visit with you both."

Paimon: "Hmm? Where?"

Thomas, hands clasped in his pockets, said, "That colossal structure under construction—the 'Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed Statue'—is something no one living on Narukami Island can ignore."

The Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed Statue is a statue used to house the Eye of God. This statue is a giant statue of the Thunder God, not a seven-day statue, and is said to be called the "Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed Statue".

……

The three arrived at the "Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed Statue." The wings on the back of the statue were entirely composed of hands, hence the name "Thousand Arms." The wings were inlaid with numerous captured divine eyes, thus earning the name "Hundred Eyes." The eyes displayed a wide variety of colors, representing many different attributes of divine eyes, including even a green grass-attribute divine eye. This was to showcase the majesty of the Thunder God and the success of the Eye Hunting Order.

The three of them looked up at the enormous statue, Paimon and Hollow were filled with awe.

Paimon: "There's a somber atmosphere around this statue... Normal people wouldn't come here, would they?"

"Hey, if you look closely... what's embedded in these is..."

Thomas: "The Eye of God".

Paimon floated in the air, leaning forward: "The Eye of God! So all the Eyes of God confiscated by the Eye Hunt Order will be mounted on this statue?"

Idealism is divided into two main categories: subjective idealism and objective idealism.

1. Subjective idealism

Subjective idealism is one of the basic forms of idealist philosophy. It views certain subjective mental states of an individual, such as sensations, experiences, mind, consciousness, ideas, and will, as the root and foundation of the existence and generation of all things in the world. All things in the world are derived from these subjective mental states and are manifestations of them. The concepts of "mind is principle," "my mind is the universe," "nothing exists outside the mind," and "no principle exists outside the mind" in the Neo-Confucianism of the Song and Ming dynasties in China, and Berkeley's ideas of "to be is to be perceived" and "things are collections of ideas," are representative and typical examples of subjective idealism and solipsism. Logically, subjective idealism inevitably leads to the conclusion of solipsism, that is, the view that all things in the world are merely manifestations of the "I's" sensations.

2. Objective Idealism

Objective idealism is one of the two basic forms of idealist philosophy. Objective idealism holds that a certain objective spirit or principle is an ontology that exists prior to and independently of the material world, while the material world (or the phenomenal world) is merely an externalization or manifestation of this objective spirit or principle. The former is primary and fundamental, while the latter is derivative and secondary.

What are the three forms of materialism?

The three basic forms of materialism:

1. Naive materialism

Naïve materialism, also known as "simple materialism" or spontaneous materialism, affirms the material origin and unity of the world. Due to limitations in its level of understanding, it always regards a certain or specific material form as the material origin and unified material basis of the world.

2. Historical Materialism

Historical materialism is a philosophical theory concerning the development of human society. It posits that the fundamental cause of all historical events is the abundance of material resources, and that the development of social history possesses its own inherent objective laws.

3. Modern Metaphysics

It can be broadly or narrowly defined. In a broad sense, it refers to materialist philosophy that explains the universe from a metaphysical perspective; in a narrow sense, it refers to the second form of materialism in the history of Western philosophy, namely, materialist philosophy from the 16th to the 18th centuries.

Extended Information:

Marxist materialism is a scientific worldview and methodology.

1. The world is an objectively existing material world; the existence and development of nature and society are objective; people's activities to transform nature and change society must be based on acknowledging the objectivity of nature and society.

2. Human consciousness is a reflection of objective existence; consciousness can react upon objective things, and different consciousnesses have different reactions to the development of objective things; the reflection of consciousness upon objective things is constrained by a variety of factors.

3. Humans possess subjective initiative and objective laws, as well as human subjective initiative; for China, everything should proceed from reality and seek truth from facts; understand the national conditions and base ourselves on the national conditions.

4. The Relationship Between Matter and Consciousness: The relationship between matter and consciousness is a fundamental question in philosophy; proceeding from reality is the fundamental basis for people to correctly understand and effectively transform the world; for China, proceeding from reality means building socialism with Chinese characteristics.
