Miss Liuying, I'm really not a bad guy

"You don't need to think about this for now. I will discuss it myself when the time comes."

"Today, I have summoned you all to Liyue with only one small request: that you appear as immortals at the Invitation Ceremony."

"?"

"This……"

The immortals looked at each other in bewilderment. This was obviously different from the rules they had always adhered to.

Morax naturally knew this, but the situation was different now. He didn't want to be so embarrassed, but he had no choice. The premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, and there was always a feeling lingering in his heart... That feeling... even surpassed [natural law].

This feeling only began to appear after the Starry Sky Train arrived for the second time, and when the Starry Sky Train arrived for the third time, this feeling became particularly strong.

He had talked to Barbatos about it, and the answer he received surprised him.

He said... he had that feeling too.

It was like being watched obscurely, or like...

Since Barbatos and he both have this feeling, the other gods may also be able to sense it.

That is the gaze from outside the world...

It exceeds... [natural law].

This is why, when Ningguang and the others began to strengthen Liyue's military power and wanted to take steps to recapture the Chasm, he did not intervene to stop them through dreams or to persuade them.

Maybe, everything they are doing now is right, or maybe he is wrong, but that vague feeling definitely symbolizes something!

So... he now needs to follow the current development of Liyue and add fuel to the fire!

In this way, even if he really retires, Liyue can remain safe and sound in the unknown storm.

And this fire needs to be completed by him and many immortals in Liyue.

……

"We are going out to perform the immortal ceremony. You must stay at home and behave yourself. Don't go out, don't eat Xiao Shi, and don't touch the teacup..."

Elio stared at Wen Sheng speechlessly. Is he some kind of cat with dirty hands and feet?

As for giving him this additional explanation before leaving...

"Alright, alright, Xiao Hei is very obedient, and there's BT watching, so let's go!"

As if she saw the speechless look in Elio's eyes, Liuying quickly walked to Wen Sheng's side and helped Elio out.

"Well, be good at home! I'll bring you some golden shrimp balls when I get back!"

"Meow!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Wen Sheng is still very much looking forward to this ceremony of summoning the immortals. He not only wants to see a certain yellow-haired guy, but also wants to see whether the plot will develop in the same way as the original plot.

But it seems that Mr. Zhong doesn't dare to pretend to be dead anymore.

If he pretends to be dead again...it will be someone else who dies.

With the idea of ​​watching for fun, Wen Sheng slowly stepped out of the train and landed on the harbor of Liyue Harbor...

Then...

"bass!!"

A blue light suddenly shot up from beside Wen Sheng! Before Wen Sheng could react, Liuying appeared in front of him!

"This is……"

Looking at the thing in front of her, Liuying suddenly felt confused, and Wen Sheng, who was protected by Liuying behind her, suddenly felt a buzzing in his head!

"Domain... anchoring?"

Chapter 105: Mask? Circus? Is it an illusion...

"This is... a boundary anchor... but why is it here?"

Wen Sheng frowned and looked at the blue anchor point, his blue eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

Logically speaking, although Teyvat and the Star Railway are part of the same forest system, there isn't much overlap between the two. Realm Anchoring is a product of [development]... If it were to appear here...

"Is this a boundary anchor? But why did it appear suddenly?"

It was obvious that Liuying knew about this thing. It existed in almost every place that [Exploration] had reached. But why...

"I have no idea……"

Wen Sheng shook his head solemnly, but he could confirm one thing.

It is impossible for the boundary anchor to exist independently of the destiny of [development]. In other words, wherever the destiny of [development] goes, the boundary anchor will appear.

And now, a boundary anchor has appeared in Teyvat.

That means that the destiny of [Pioneering] has extended to Teyvat.

But...this shouldn't be the case...

Wen Sheng frowned, looking confused.

Logically speaking, his ability to travel through time and space should not bring the power of destiny of the original universe with him, but now [exploration] has extended to Teyvat.

Fate cannot be seen with the naked eye, but as long as it exists, it means...

The Star God can also cast his gaze in the direction of destiny.

Fate...fate...

Could it be that... because of his activities, a connection has begun to appear between Teyvat and the original universe?

Is he... [developing] Teyvat?

Wen Sheng stood before the anchor of the realm, with a frown on his face.

"Wen Sheng..."

Looking at Wen Sheng like this, Liuying's eyes were full of worry.

what happened to him?

"Nothing... Let's go. We have to attend Liyue's Summoning Immortal Ceremony today."

Wen Sheng came back to his senses, turned sideways and shook his head slightly towards Miss Liuying, his smile a little forced.

He was thinking... Is this a good thing or a bad thing for Teyvat...

……

"..."

On Tianheng Mountain, Morax, who was waiting for the ceremony of inviting the immortals to begin, had a frown on his face. Just now, the invisible feeling became stronger, as if something had passed through the barriers of the world and appeared in this world out of thin air.

It was invisible and intangible, but as the Rock God, he could still sense the presence of this power...

"I don't know what kind of changes will happen to Teyvat in the future..."

Zhongli raised his head and looked straight at the blue and cloudless sky.

The weather is nice today, with no clouds in the sky, but...

Is the sky real or fake?

And what exactly was it that passed through that sky, even past "Him", and came to Teyvat?

It seems that his decision was correct. The entire Teyvat is now shrouded in the unknown, and the contradictions of this unknown are likely to be greater than the contradictions of Teyvat itself.

"If the Star Train hadn't arrived in Teyvat, perhaps everything would have continued as planned, but..."

Morax's eyes slowly sank, and his gaze fell on the prosperous commercial port under Tianheng Mountain.

“Perhaps, the new unknown is more hopeful than the risky and unstable ending.”

……

"!"

Ying had just arrived at Liyue Harbor. Looking at the prosperous and vibrant commercial port, he was about to express his heartfelt praise when he suddenly seemed to sense something. His eyes widened, his pupils shrank, and his body seemed to be frozen in place!

"Wow... Is this Liyue Harbor? It's so prosperous!"

Paimon on the side was still sighing at the scene of Liyue in front of him, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Ying's horrified look!

"! You...what's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly look like you're something scary?"

Paimon quickly flew to Ying's side, stretched out his little hand and waved it in front of her eyes, trying to wake up Ying who was in unknown fear.

"what……"

Ying came to her senses and suddenly collapsed to the ground, sweat unconsciously flowing down her forehead, looking very uncomfortable.

"What's wrong with you? Speak quickly! Is there something wrong with the grilled fish we ate earlier? Or is it that sunset fruit..."

Paimon was obviously startled by Ying's reaction, and hurriedly recalled what happened before coming to Liyue Harbor today. Could it be that she had been to Liyue before, and this place brought back some bad memories from her past?

"Huh... Paimon, I'm... fine."

Ying, who had recovered from her shock, shook her head and spoke softly to Paimon. Her voice was much weaker than before, and she seemed to be in discomfort.

"So, what exactly happened?"

Paimeng gently supported Ying's back, tilted his little head, and looked very confused.

"Nothing... I just... seemed to see a bunch of masks? Or a circus? They suddenly flashed before my eyes and laughed in my ears... When I came to my senses, the illusions disappeared."

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Ying recalled what had just happened, her eyes filled with confusion and puzzlement.

"Illusion? But we didn't eat mushrooms today?"

Paimon tilted her head in confusion. Why hadn't she seen that illusion, the mask... the circus? These things sounded completely unrelated to the Liyue before her...

"Maybe... I'm too tired lately?"

Even Ying, after coming to her senses, couldn't help but doubt whether what she had just seen was real.

"Yes, ever since entering Liyue, you've been busy searching for treasure chests and that Rock God Eye... climbing mountains and diving into rivers, without stopping for a moment..."

Thinking back to Ying, who had just arrived in Liyue and was running around like a circus monkey, Paimeng felt ashamed...

Could it be that this is the reason why the illusion of seeing the circus occurs?

……

"what happened to you?"

"I... don't know, Tevarin, did you feel anything just now?"

Above the ruins of the Wind Dragon, Wendy, who was sitting on a high tower, had confusion in his eyes.

"I didn't sense anything."

Tevarin shook his huge dragon head and looked at Wendy in confusion.

"That's it..."

Closing his wind-colored eyes, Barbatos leaned against Tevarin again.

He didn't want to come here again, but...

The anomalies in recent times have been too strange. Even the old man can't figure out what's going on. I'm afraid the other gods are the same.

It seems that he has to prepare for the worst...

Chapter 106: The Most Grand Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals

Liyue Harbor is crowded with people at this moment. Today is a very grand day. The ceremony of inviting the immortals presided over by the Seven Stars will be held today!

On the Yujing Platform, the seven stars who had been prepared long ago were already in place. Ningguang, who was in the first position, slowly looked down.

How long had it been since she had seen such a grand and prosperous scene? Oh, not long ago, the last time was at an auction.

"Lord Ningguang."

Ganyu slowly walked to Ningguang's side and nodded to her.

She shouldn't have been here. In all the previous ceremonies to invite the immortals, she just watched from afar and would meet with the Emperor when it was time to report on her work.
