The perspective returns to Lumine and Paimon.
After Tartaglia left the Golden House, the two immediately chased after him.
At this moment, the sky was filled with rolling dark clouds, and electric arcs flickered within them. Just looking at it made people feel uneasy, filled with an atmosphere of impending disaster, like a storm brewing.
"Traveler!"
Paimon was a little scared and hid behind Lumine.
Lumine saw further; in the distance, there were several swirling tornadoes connecting to the sky. Even from such a distance, the wind they brought still made her hair flutter.
Just then, a huge shadow passed over their heads.
"Huh? What's that?"
The shadow moved forward for a while before they could clearly see that what was flying in the sky was none other than the Jade Chamber!
"Let's go, Paimon!"
Lumine immediately sped up, and Paimon quickly followed.
"Wait for me!"

Guyun Stone Forest.
The massive body of the God Osial swept through the sea. This scene alone was enough to make anyone with megalophobia or thalassophobia's scalp tingle, and in severe cases, they might even pass away on the spot.
Three enormous heads emerged from the sea, bringing with them seawater that fell like a waterfall.
Compared to the Genshin Impact game Jiang Mumu had played, the system-optimized version was even more perfect.
The sufficiently realistic rendering of the scenes greatly enhanced the players' immersion, and the oppressive presence of the God, several times larger than in the original game, was on a completely different level.
In the live stream, looking at the scene of the God emerging from the sea, Guojia swallowed nervously.
"What the heck! Can a human defeat this? Don't we need to call Ultraman? No, I'm afraid even Ultraman wouldn't be able to do anything!"
The bullet comments were the same.
: "So big!!!"
: "What a grand scene, this visual is incredible!"
: "Brothers, why am I a little scared?"
: "Is this a God? It's hard to imagine how it was defeated by the Geo Archon."
: "You're not telling me I have to fight it, are you? Is this for real?!"

On the Jade Chamber.
"Phew... Phew... Traveling is so tiring!"
Paimon panted, "If we hadn't seen the Jade Chamber flying in the sky right after leaving the Golden House, we wouldn't have known where to run."
"Did we make it in time? Osial is still in the sea and hasn't landed in Liyue Harbor yet, right?"
As Paimon spoke, Xiao walked out and asked doubtfully:
"You... why are you here?"
Lumine and Paimon looked back and saw the various Adepti, as well as Ningguang, Keqing, Ganyu, and others.
"Oh... it's the Adepti. Why are you on the Jade Chamber? I heard you were arguing with the Qixing before. Have you finished arguing?"
Ningguang stepped forward to explain:
"The Adepti believe that in this time of crisis, the Adepti and the Qixing should temporarily set aside their differences and face the enemy together."
Mountain Shaper, who was nearby, gave an arrogant snort.
Little Paimon continued her role as the voice of the audience.
"I see. So what's everyone's defense plan now?"
"Ugh, just looking at Osial from this distance makes it hard to breathe."
Paimon touched her little head, glanced at the enormous God in the distance, and immediately turned to hide behind Lumine.
Keqing said, "Some of the new recruits in the Millelith can't even stand steady anymore. The ancient God's pressure seems to be very harmful to ordinary people's bodies."
"—But precisely because of this, we absolutely cannot let that monster approach the common people of Liyue Harbor!"
Paimon touched her smooth chin:
"Speaking of the Millelith, isn't Qingge here?"
Ningguang shook her head: "When the Adepti arrived, I sent someone to look for her, but they couldn't find her."
"Now that the God has been unsealed and the commotion is so great, she will surely come."

Live stream.
: "Mu Wife is still fighting the Harbinger right now, she can't make it."
: "Oh no, oh no, will Qingge be alright? That Anqi looks quite formidable."
: "MiHoYo, really, show us what's happening, come on!"

Jade Chamber.
Then the arrogant bird proposed the idea of using the new Guizhong Ballista to fight the god, which was approved by everyone.
Cloud Retainer's tsundere trait was also revealed to players for the first time.
"Then, without further ado, open fire!"
Ningguang unleashed her art, instantly appearing in the air, and using the formation on the Jade Chamber, created a massive platform.
In the center of the platform, three enormous Guizhong Ballistae stood tall.
The three Adepti each went to one Guizhong Ballista and infused it with Adeptal energy.
After absorbing the Adeptal energy, the firepower unleashed by the three massive Guizhong Ballista directly stunned the players.
No, I thought you were single-shot, but you're even more Gatling than a Gatling!
Ningguang's entire operation was a highlight, her spellcasting gestures and movements full of the feeling of cultivation, coupled with her cool demeanor, and the grand scene, perfectly struck a chord with Chinese players.
: "Ahhhhhh, so beautiful, so beautiful!"
: "Why is she a four-star with this strength? Isn't five-star more appropriate?!"
: "Is this still a game? Am I not watching a movie?"
: "Blow it up, brothers, I'm liking this game more and more!"
---
Above the platform.
Suddenly, several swirling spaces appeared, and Fatui soldiers emerged from them one by one.
"It's the Fatui! They're coming for the Guizhong Ballista!"
Lumine immediately took out Endless Acuity and charged forward with Keqing beside her.

A little earlier.
A flat area outside the Golden House.
This place, which had once been filled with many trees and flowers, was now leveled.
Mu Qingge supported herself with one hand on the ground, blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth, flowing onto her hand, and the air she exhaled was cold.
Tartaglia opposite her was still unconscious. Anqi's condition was similar to Mu Qingge's, with blood seeping from beneath her mask.
Although she was heavily injured, it didn't actually hurt at all.
Her external reactions were all part of her performance.
Mu Qingge had at least three broken ribs and severe internal injuries, and Anqi was in a similar state.
Logically, the camera wasn't focused on them while they were fighting, so why did they perform so hard?
So much so that both avatars were now in a severely injured state.
Actually, there was a reason behind this.
Firstly, doing so was logical. Wouldn't two belligerent and mutually hostile individuals, when brought together, fight to the death?
Secondly, she was very, very particular about the external presentation of her avatars. Regardless of whether there was an audience or not, each avatar had its own role to play and had to be logical.
Very early on, the system had warned her that her avatars could not have any weaknesses.
It wasn't that easy to deceive the Seven Archons.
Especially Barbatos of Mondstadt; the thousand winds were his ears. The seemingly unreliable Anemo Archon was actually more reliable than anyone.
Finally, her progress was a bit slow.
Getting injured could help her obtain a certain amount of emotional feedback, which would also facilitate her future plans.
Jiang Mumu liked all seven of these avatars and didn't want any of them to be disliked by the audience.
To advance the plan, there had to be a villain, a villain who ran through from beginning to end, a villain who was evil to the core, who could not be whitewashed, and whose end was tragic.
Emotional feedback just so happened to help her shape one, and this had been the plan all along.
With this villain, her plan could officially begin.
