With their arrival, the tide of battle turned, and Kujo Sara obviously didn't expect such a "dark horse" to appear.
After firing two arrows to halt the rebels' advance, he finally ordered a retreat.
Only after the shogunate army withdrew did Kokoro no Kokoro have the opportunity to chat with the traveler.
[Coral Palace Heart Ocean: "Hello, Traveler. This is our first formal meeting. Please allow me to briefly introduce myself."]
"My name is Coral Palace Heart Sea. I am the organizer of the resistance and also the 'Living God Priestess' of Umijima Island."
After introducing himself, Shinkai invited the traveler to Haigi Island to discuss their next steps.
Haiji Island is the true rear base of the resistance, and travelers who enter Haiji Island are considered core figures of the resistance.
Incidentally, Xin Hai's request to Bei Dou and the others was only for this war.
Therefore, Hokuto will not intervene in subsequent actions. Manyo intervened in this change as Inatsume, not as a member of the Hokuto Pirates.
At the end of the story, Kokoro Sango says: "For...Inazuma's future."
Chapter Two: Act Two: Without Thought or Desire, the Bubble Fades - The End
Shinkai's last words were for Inazuma's future, and she wasn't wrong.
What Shadow did was simply to prevent Inazuma from moving toward the 'future,' while Shinkai, as a member of the resistance, was doing the same thing—leading Inazuma toward the 'future.'
However, none of the rebels were truly capable of defying the power of the gods, and in the end, Inazuma's future was still to be decided by the gods.
But as long as Shadow decides to move towards the 'future,' then whatever the future may be, it will be considered a victory for the resistance.
This spirit of resistance is quite popular in Mondstadt, and the people of Mondstadt are increasingly looking forward to what will happen next.
Barbara, on the other hand, frowned, thinking that the Inazuma priestess should be similar to her, the priestess.
How can someone who serves the gods stand up and organize forces that rebel against them?
Barbara didn't understand because she didn't know that the god worshipped by the people of Umijima Island was not the Great Lord Mikami Takenori, but the Great Lord Umiki.
This brings us to Zhongli's words: 'There is no benefit in believing in a god who has already passed away.'
The people of Umijima Island, due to their belief in the great serpent Orobas, have always been unwilling to coexist peacefully with the shogunate.
The Eye Hunting Edict and the Isolation Edict were merely sparks of resistance; the fuse was already lit before the sparks ignited.
The good news is that, thanks to Lin Qiu's book, the people of Haiji Island and the people of the shogunate finally have a space to understand each other.
After Zhongli's story was released, Xin Hai tried to guide the people of Haiqi Island to lessen their obsession with Lord Haiqi.
Now, Lin Qiu's book about the resistance has changed the public's perception of the resistance on Kaiji Island.
I initially thought they were a group of heinous villains who dared to rebel against the general, but I was surprised to find that they were actually quite loyal and righteous.
The mindset of both sides has changed, and only then has the possibility of peace truly emerged.
However, the hatred and differences between the two sides cannot be erased so easily, and it seems that there is still a long way to go before harmony is achieved.
We should wait until the Eye Hunt order is lifted, because many of the current rebels joined because they were genuinely dissatisfied with it.
"Young author, the story of the second act has been released. Shouldn't you give me the content for the third act next?" Yae no Miko asked Lin Qiu.
"Act Three? Who said I was going to release Act Three next?" Lin Qiu pulled out a new book, but it wasn't Act Three; it was—'The Extinct Star That Never Returns'.

"Sigh, there are so many problems to deal with regarding the resistance and Haiqi Island. It seems I'll need to reduce my rest time..."
Chapter 184 Coincidence Leads to
After receiving the book, Yae no Miko fell silent. "Why is it that when you write about the other two countries, your updates are quite consistent, but when you write about Inazuma, it keeps getting interrupted?"
Lin Qiu was also surprised. He originally wanted to stop updating to mess with Yingbao, but Yingbao didn't even look at it and instead got involved with the little fox.
However, it's not bad to get the little fox. When Lin Qiu went to Narukami Shrine to find Yae no Miko before, Yae no Miko said that he thought his drawing was good and wanted to give him some reward.
Lin Qiu wanted to touch the tail, but was refused; he wanted to pinch the ears, but was also refused.
I wanted to see Miss Fox in her fox form, but was refused again.
I was rejected three times, so what kind of reward do I need?
Aside from these unique characteristics of 'orc girls', Lin Qiu didn't want any other rewards.
You broke your promise to give me the reward, so I'll break my promise to give you the update, hehe.
While Yae no Miko was having a friendly conversation with Lin Qiu, Lin Qiu suddenly received a message from Ying Mei.
'Thoma has been arrested!'
Lin Qiu was stunned for a moment. Even if fate couldn't be defied, it shouldn't have happened so quickly, right?
The Tenryo Magistrate hasn't even finished preparing for the Eye Hunting Ceremony yet, so why are they arresting people ahead of time? Aren't they afraid the Shabu Magistrate will storm the execution ground beforehand?
Besides, wasn't the traveler with Thomas? How could he have been captured before he could even ask for help?
Actually, it was quite a coincidence that the traveler and Thomas also wanted to read Lin Qiu's new book, so they planned to buy it.
Thomas said he could handle buying the books himself, so Ying didn't go with him; she went to find Xiaogong.
As a result, while Ying was chatting with Xiaogong, someone from the wooden tea room came to tell Ying that Thomas had been captured by the Tenryo magistrate.
No one expected Tianling Fengxing to be so ruthless; they knew it was pointless to arrest him, yet they still did it.
This is also because the story of Lin Qiu's scene did not include the subsequent events.
The information revealed so far is that Thomas was captured, and both the Traveler and the Chief of Staff wanted to save him, which led to them becoming enemies of the General and being wanted by the authorities.
Making the General, the magistrate, or the traveler enemies is clearly in the best interest of the Heavenly Territory Magistrate.
Unbeknownst to them, the Traveler's visit to the Rebel Alliance led to the emergence of the Fools, and most unexpectedly, the Traveler was actually able to 'persuade' Thor.
The most crucial point is the second one. In the eyes of the Heavenly Commander, the General is invincible. If the Traveler is an enemy of the General, he will eventually be easily manipulated by the little Karami.
Little did anyone know that later, with the help of Yae no Miko, the traveler persuaded the Thunder General. The Tenryo Magistrate never dreamed that the general's sword could be blocked.
The Heavenly Commander only knew that if they captured people in advance, the Society Commander would definitely come to rescue them, but that's exactly what they wanted.
After Kujo Sara's 'defection', the Fools came to the Kujo family and discussed matters with the head of the Kujo family.
With the Jujutsu clan present, the head of the Kujo family thought of using them, so that even if the magistrate or the traveler came to rescue people, the Jujutsu clan would be there to protect them.
Regardless of which side succeeds, it will be beneficial to the Heavenly Ruler. It goes without saying that the Fools will win, since they are already in a cooperative relationship.
Even if the Society Magistrate wins, he will have to pay a price. How will he then be able to oppose the Heavenly Territory Magistrate?
The Heavenly Lord can also take this opportunity to kick the Fools away, so why not?
It's a win-win situation! A win-win situation means that no matter who wins between the two of them, I will ultimately benefit!
Unfortunately, compared to Lin Qiu, the intelligence information he possessed was completely asymmetrical, and no matter what, he could not outmaneuver Lin Qiu.
Putting everything else aside, Lin Qiu understood far better than Kujo Takayuki what the Fools really wanted.
Then you can see who the Fools will prefer to cooperate with.
This is why Lin Qiu didn't protect Thomas beforehand; he could have, but it wasn't necessary.
The traveler has already gone to rescue people in the dungeon of the Heavenly Territory, and he'll probably be able to rescue Master Zheng Sheng as well.
“As for Kujo Sara, I think the time is right,” Lin Qiu smiled.
I was originally going to say we should take it slow, but since you've already given me the first move, I have no choice but to follow suit.
Yae no Miko smiled as well, "The young author thinks so too, that's really good."
Meanwhile, Yingmei and Xiaogong have successfully infiltrated the dungeon of the Heavenly Territory Enforcer.
Or rather, it was done intentionally by the Heavenly Commander; the guards in the dungeon were the Fools, and the Heavenly Commander hadn't sent many people at all.
Instead, they arranged for a lot of people to be stationed outside the dungeon, waiting for the people inside to finish their fight before making their appearance.
Yingmei and Xiaogong hid in the shadows and secretly peeked inside. Several fools were guarding Thomas.
Thomas remained calm, sitting cross-legged. If his hands hadn't been tied, he would have liked to look at the newly bought books first.
The oppressive presence of the Fools is nothing compared to that of the Thunder General.
"Should we make a move?" Xiaogong asked.
Because the travelers were in constant contact with Lin Qiu, the decision of whether or not to take action was actually made by Lin Qiu on the other end.
"Make your move," Lin Qiu said.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiaogong slid out from behind cover, drawing his bow and nocking an arrow.
"Enemy...!" Before the Fatui member could even utter the word "attack," Yomi-no-miya's fire-elemental arrows had already knocked him to the ground.
Another musket-wielding fool quickly raised his gun and aimed, but suddenly a huge rock fell from the sky and blocked his view.
Looking up again, purple lightning flashed, and the Traveler's Dawn Sword magnified before his eyes.
Fortunately, the Wind Fist Fools reacted quickly and rushed in front of him to block the attack.
"Thank you..." Before he could finish speaking, the Musketeers found themselves bound by vines, and a grass seed appeared beside them without them noticing.
"Oh no!" the Geo mage exclaimed, trying to set up a barrier.
Xiaogong winked, then opened her little mouth and made a "bong!" sound. The rocket ignited the grass seeds, and they burst into bloom!
'Boom~ Boom boom boom~!' A series of explosions knocked the three members of the Fatui tribe to the ground.
"Easy peasy~, hehehe, we're really awesome." The battle was over, and Paimon emerged.
Fortunately, Yingmei and Xiaogong both dote on her and won't criticize her at this time.
But don't forget, the traveler is still in communication with Lin Qiu at this time.
"They're amazing, but you're not one of them, Paimon," Lin Qiu complained.
"Damn it, what's wrong with letting me get a little bit of attention? Why are you being so stingy!" Paimon pouted.
Despite her complaints, Paimon was busy; she flew to Thomas's side to untie him.
"Traveler is truly amazing," Yonomiya remarked.
Combat is not her forte. She is strong enough to deal with a few Shogunate samurai and the Fools, but she is obviously no match for Yingmei.
“Because Lin Qiu helped,” Ying said.
During Inazuma's stay, Lin Qiu took her to Sumeru and opened the Grass Element.
Because of Lin Qiu, Ying has already activated the Seven God Statues of Grass and Water ahead of schedule. Now she possesses five elemental powers, and she is not afraid of even the scattered soldiers.
"Well, we have to thank Xiaozhaoyou for leading us into the dungeon. By the way, where's Xiaozhaoyou?" Xiaogong looked around curiously.
Only then did they realize that Zaoyou had fallen asleep in the dark spot where she had been hiding, like a 'roly-poly toy'.

Character Voice Lines - Ayato Kamisato: Regarding Thomas's Capture
"Hmm...what a coincidence, but it's perfect timing, isn't it?"
Chapter 185 I’m here to negotiate terms
People are so unpredictable. Just now we were talking about stragglers, and now they've actually arrived. Not only him, but even the lady came along.
The matter of discussing countermeasures with the Kujo family should, in principle, be the lady's responsibility, while Sanbing is in charge of factory matters.
However, after reading the first act of the book, he learned that General Raiden would personally participate in the Eye Hunting Ceremony, so he came to see it.
Ying watched the skirmisher and the lady warily. With her current strength, she could handle either of them, but the two together would be a bit of a challenge.
Moreover, it wasn't just the two of them; more and more fools gathered around.
The only good news is that there are no traps here, so Ying won't faint.
Ying's dizziness resistance has always been zero, making her even more afraid of being 'elbowed' than Jingyuan next door.
On the other side were two Fatui Enforcers and a group of Fatui soldiers, while on their side were Yoomiya, Thomas, and Hayato. Oh right, and Paimon, who was holding them back. The strength was not equal.
